Sad but I have to let go NX30 system. How about an alternative?

Hello everybody.

This thread is not dead (yet).

Why is so important to choose one system or another?

I think it's because of money.

If I could have all the enough money, I could have multiple systems and in the end I may choose two or three to keep.

But it's not my case.

At this point, I'll give Fujifilm X-T30 a try.

The camera arrives in a couple of weeks.

I stumbled upon some Fuji Galleries and the pics seems soft to me:

compared with some of the NX30:

I understand that the model and the lens used in Fuji's gallery have to taken in account, but I'm restless about what I have done.

Well, let's see what happen...

I went with the x-h1 + grip and 16-55 f/2.8 combo about a month ago. I don't know much about Samsung lenses, but compared to my Pentax gear that Fuji zoom is awesome. Like any system, some lenses are magic, some are one trick ponies, and some get forgotten. Generally, I think Fuji has great glass. I love their aperture rings. I would say their least attractive feature is a lack of support from major third party vendors. Some people get around it by shooting Canon lenses with a Fringer adapter.

Quite honestly the 16-50S is faster (2f until around 32mm), sharper and have IS, while being both lighter and smaller.

The X-H1 is maybe the Fuji camera with the worst sales the last couple of years, it doesn't make sense at all when you have the utterly better X-T3 on a similar price and back then the cheaper but similar X-T2. Bet you found it dead cheap, maybe less than a used NX1.

The NX1 + 16-50S 2-2.8f and some lenses I can't find in any other system are keeping me still in the system. Mind that. Ergonomics still unbeatable, while Fuji needs at least a generation or two to polish their User Interface and ergonomics.

I haven't used the 30 and 3, but I am hearing various negatives (cameras that stuck, easily pressed buttons, lesser manufacturing quality control e.t.c).

The NX lenses are among the top in every specific category. There is no NX lens not near, or at the top of its respected category, while used to be a lot cheaper than most.

I love the 16-50s lens but I have to correct you that f2 is only available from 16 - 20mm, where it reduces to f2.2.
