Leaked photos of the upcoming Fujifilm X30 have surfaced online, days ahead of its expected release. Fujifilm is reported to announce a few models in September's Photokina with official announcements for their cameras and lenses in the coming days.
A black version of the upcoming shooter has been leaked online(via camyx.com), and by the looks of it, it's an absolute stunner. The photos also confirm that the compact camera will have a 7.1-28.4mm lens. As previously speculated, a control ring similar to that in the Fuji XQ1 can be found in the upcoming X30.
An electric viewfinder replaced the optical viewfinder in the previous model. Moreover, a pop-up flash and a tilting LCD display have also been added to the list of features.
The X30 is expected to be available at the end of September for around $600-650
