Small, powerful and a joy to shoot with, the X-T30 is one of the best cameras you can buy today for under £1000. While its size makes it ideal for travel and street photography, the X-T30's excellent autofocus and video powers make it a great all-rounder for everyday shooting. Fans of chunky grips and weather-sealed bodies will want to look elsewhere, plus the X-T30 lacks built-in image stabilisation – but these are just minor gripes considering its size and price. Pair the X-T30 with one of the X Series' prime lenses, and it's a hugely appealing camera for both beginners looking to learn their craft and pros who need a great sidekick for their main camera.
