Another Recommendation Post

Hi! Hoping to purchase a Fujifilm soon since have some events and travel coming up soon. I have read through many of these posts already, but would like to see if there’s any other models I’m not considering based on my needs aside from the most popular ones.

Why: Like everyone else now interested, the film simulations drew me in and actual film development is costly.

Experience: beginner, but willing and want to learn more.

What I have: Olympus Infinity Stylus Zoom 140, Konica BM-311Z, Kodak PIXPRO FZ55

Use: travel architecture & landscapes, casual portraits

Budget: ideally under $1,500 including the lense. I plan to purchase used through B&H or another reputable source.

Wants:
- In stock or shorter backorder
- Small in size for travel. The Kodak is TINY so I’m not too concerned over usability if small
- View finder if very bright out
- Flash for night shots
- Film simulation dial
- Not a huge lense, will likely opt for pancake if interchangeable
- Approachable for beginner

Not sure if I’ll care or will know the difference being a beginner:
- Option to change lense
- Most up to date processing and specs, also likely not within budget
- Any video specs. Will be used for photography 99% of the time

As of now, thinking X-T30 III would be a good option, but again curious if there’s other less popular models that would be better suited.

Appreciate any and all help!
