Strengths and limitations

  • Photo Review found autofocus fast and accurate with both lenses tested; it wrote that the Q button is very easy to press by accident and that the camera is not an ideal choice for inexperienced users. It noted battery life of 315 frames versus 390 for the X-T30 II; the body has no weather sealing or in-body stabilisation.
