I have used quite a few mirrorless cameras over the years, but the Fujifilm X-T30 III is easily one of the smallest cameras I have used in a long time. The moment I picked it up, it almost felt like a toy in my hands, and considering how compact the body is, that is not necessarily a bad thing. The camera is small enough to carry around without thinking twice, but still gives you the feeling of using a proper camera with physical controls, interchangeable lenses and Fujifilm's famous Film Simulation modes.
Priced at ₹1,11,499 with the XC 13 33mm lens, the X-T30 III is aimed at people who want to step up from a smartphone or compact camera without jumping into a much larger and more complicated setup. I am not a professional photographer myself, and that actually made using this camera more interesting because despite all those buttons and dials, I never felt completely lost. After spending weeks shooting mostly buildings, monuments and street scenes, here's how I found the Fujifilm X-T30 III.

The first thing you notice about the X-T30 III is just how small it is. This is one of the most compact mirrorless cameras I have ever used, and even with my relatively small hands, the camera looks tiny. The good thing is that I actually enjoyed this compact form factor because it makes the camera incredibly easy to carry around. You can put it in a small bag and forget about it until you actually need to take a picture.
