Review on Fujifilm X-T30 Kit 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS, black by Velizar Petrakiev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

These are merely initial thoughts because I've only been buying for a few days so far. After learning about the limitations of the standard whale lens, I decided to seek for and photograph 81 thousand whales with an enhanced version of the 18-55mm lens. The overall sentiments are complicated. To begin with, it seemed that the Nikon D750 / 24-120 shoots better (it costs, of course, is also more expensive: 106 thousand as opposed to 81 thousand), but rather, the point here is simply that the full frame and aperture allow a non-professional photographer to be more dumb (to me). You have to get used to everything. Many things are inconvenient simply because they are the norm. For instance, a DSLR camera's viewfinder continues to function even when the power is turned off. On the other hand, while using a mirrorless camera, it is obvious from the viewfinder whether the frame will be underexposed or overexposed. This raises the question of whose priorities are prioritized more highly. On the other side, there are 1600 grams of "meat" in a Nikon camera, while a Fujik camera only has 730 grams. The decision is rather straightforward for young women and elderly people. Additionally, rather than having to purchase a separate card reader, the camera can be simply attached to a laptop or desktop computer by means of a regular cable connection. When you take pictures with a smartphone that is linked to the internet, the geotag is immediately set. This is useful information for people who enjoy using advanced catalogs and Google photographs. In general, after a full frame, there are negatives, but on the other hand, there is less exposure faults, nice colors, and less weight. Because of compression, the photo has been. Ya. Photos that are greater than 10 megabytes are not permitted on Market.

Pros
  • Integration with mobile devices such as smartphones and other such devices. Particularly convenient is the capability of extracting the precise time and geolocation from a mobile device, such as a smartphone. Something that some manufacturers who produce additional GPS modules for the sole purpose of making more money are woefully lacking. In comparison to DSLRs, these cameras are lightweight and more compact. High speed shooting in a continuous fashion. Numerous settings, each with a degree of adaptability. On the control dials, the most important parameters are organized for quick access. The autofocus performs really nicely. A multitude of contemporary technologies, including support for facial recognition, BT, and Wi-Fi, amongst others. The USB Type-C interface is capable of both transferring files and charging devices. It's true, but not very quick. On the other hand, this makes it simple to attach an external battery of any size that is practical.
Cons
  • It is not sufficient to use aperture with an 18-55 lens. My primary camera, a Nikon D750 / 24 - 120, is somewhat heavy (1600 grams with a lens, a belt, and memory cards), but even this 1:4 lens shoots significantly better in low-light environments. This is because the much bigger physical size of the lens affects (and perhaps matrices) the exposure. Using the same 18-55 lens barrel, vignetting is very apparent while shooting at small focal lengths. Even if more sophisticated editors will likely correct all of this once or twice, the fact that it still needs to be corrected is still an annoyance. The zoom ring on the lens is a little bit difficult to turn. There is not a separate charger for the battery. On the other hand, in light of the fact that the conventional charging port is a USB Type-C port, this is not as important. The Wi-Fi standard is now considered to be archaic. There has been no mention of any speeds between 200 and 1000 Mbps. It is highly possible that this is the reason why, despite all the benefits of a mobile application, I was unable to locate an opportunity to send a photo into a smartphone without it being compressed. Even with Nikon, albeit only through a single location, this may be accomplished with a single piece. 12-15 seconds for each every photo. It would take considerably longer here considering the average "weight" of a photo, which is between 25 and 30 megabytes (in high quality JPEG format). Consolation, but a very fast USB port, so I use two cords: Type-C - Type-C (for a smartphone - I rapidly download all photographs and videos in Google Photo), and the typical USB - Type-C for a computer that is supplied, it is both a charger and data cable. Both of these cords are included. It is quite unfortunate for people who wish to shoot video since not only is there a strict time limit on how long the video can be (Full HD videos can only be 15 minutes long, and 4K videos can only be 10 minutes long), but also the overheating of the device that occurs when shooting video frequently causes the camera to shut off right in the middle of the filming process. A speedy test revealed that a cold 4K camera overheats to a "stop" in approximately 23-25 minutes, whereas a FullHD camera passed out right away without waiting 15 minutes, despite the fact that the camera was already heated when the shooting began. In general, the video quality here is quite poor, and the photo quality is not significantly worse than that of the more advanced camera in the range.
