Price remains a concern for budget-focused buyers. One commenter noted that the original Z30 was still priced at 1,049 CAD in Ontario, calling it expensive for a small vlogging camera. This suggests price sensitivity is a real concern among potential buyers, especially those comparing it to other budget-friendly options in the vlogging camera segment. If the Z30 II carries a similar or higher price tag, some buyers may hesitate, viewing the value proposition as unbalanced relative to the camera's compact size and target audience of casual content creators.
Missing IBIS and modest resolution disappoint spec-focused buyers. A commenter expressed disappointment that the APS-C sensor lacks in-body image stabilization and offers only 20 megapixels, arguing this isn't enough for the future. They specifically requested a bump to 24 megapixels and the addition of IBIS, which would make the camera more versatile with a wider range of lenses, including primes like a 50mm. Without these upgrades, some enthusiasts may view the Z30 II as falling short of expectations for a modern hybrid content creation camera in 2026.
Interest in switching or upgrading to the Z30 II remains evident. Despite some hesitation, interest in the Z30 II remains evident. One commenter is weighing whether to sell their Fujifilm XT30 II to switch systems for content creation, while another is postponing a new purchase, choosing to continue with an older D750 body in the meantime with plans to eventually get the new Z30 II. This shows a mix of cautious optimism and wait-and-see attitudes as buyers assess whether the upcoming camera will meet their evolving needs.
