The short version
The Fujifilm X-T30 II and Fujifilm X-E4 are Fujifilm APS-C bodies from different lines — the X-T and the X-E. Both launched in 2021. At launch the X-T30 II was 899 USD and the X-E4 849 USD, making the X-E4 the more affordable of the two.
The X-T30 II doesn't win any of the headline spec categories outright. Its case is price, size, and how it feels in your hand, not the numbers.
The X-E4 isn't far behind. It hits back with a lighter 364g body.
So which one? If you want the more capable all-rounder, get the X-T30 II. If a lighter 364g body is closer to what you actually need, the X-E4 is the smarter buy. And the X-E4 costs less — 849 USD at launch.
Where the X-T30 II wins
No clear wins on the headline specs — its case is price, size, or feel.
