Verdictwhich should you buy?

X-T30 III — Enthusiast Photography, Travel & Street: 40MP resolution and flagship-level subject detection in the most affordable X-T body — the best value Fujifilm camera ever made.

X100F — Street, Travel & Everyday Photography: The X100F is the camera that made the X100 series legendary — 24MP X-Trans III, a hybrid viewfinder, and the best fixed 35mm compact lens available.
