Re: New to Fuji: which X-T20 or X-T30 set?

From a stills image quality standpoint, the X-T20 with those two lenses should provide you excellent quality. The telephoto is an excellent lens, and likely will surprise you with its performance on that body. Great for travel.

If you feel a very strong need for better AF performance (sports action shooting), or extremely high quality video... the extra cost might be worth it. If anything, the more expensive rig yields you a slightly lower image quality due to the slower normal-range zoom, and slightly noisier sensor. That added noise is the direct trade-off for the very real improvements in AF - with more PDAF dedication.

The X-T20 is still good for video work, but the X-T30 is truly superb. For those who want to do a lot of video and can afford it, that's worth the upgrade no doubt.
