That's not much of a difference. Seems like a negligible spec bump. I think Fuji Weekly still makes a good point. There is also an addendum to the first post here: https://fujixweekly.com/2021/09/02/additional-thoughts-on-the-fujifilm-x-t30-ii-x-t3-ww/ https://fujixweekly.com/2021/09/02/additional-thoughts-on-th...

  After the update, actually, their point doesn't make any sense. They admit that the firmware upgrade can't be applied, at least in the form that it's been produced. The X-T30 II is therefore a minor upgrade, which is nothing notable. Great irony: the author has no clue about what the firmware actually improves. So he's essentially written a rant about expecting something he doesn't what it is.

    Indeed. The essay was written before the X-T30 II came out, speculating that it would be nothing more than a firmware update, and demanding that all firmware updates should be free. When the X-T30 II came out, it updated its memory and display, so it’s not possible to just give the older X-T30 the newer camera’s firmware. Personally, I apply film simulation modes to a picture on my computer in post to the RAW file, because I don’t have time, when actually taking pictures, to decide which film simulation will work best for a given shot.

      > demanding that all firmware updates should be free Now that's a bit dishonest. When you buy a camera you invest in the system. Spending 1k euros on the body alone and and the same on various lenses and then getting shafted on one or two film simulations that won't be added to your camera because it's now old after 1 or 2 years, it leaves a sour taste. Esp. since mobile phones and other electronics get software updates regularly. > Personally, I apply film simulation modes to a picture on my computer in post to the RAW file, Great for you, but then one appeal of the Fuji system is the SOOC quality and experience. But if they don't care about that, it's making me loose interest.
