If you can’t get better shots with your D610 than a phone, you need to reconsider your choice of hobbies.
I agree with you before, but after watching reviews like this, I have second thoughts.
It is about the latest Huawei P30 Pro, the camera features.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zytha7T7-GEI am sorry to see that most people replies are about Dslr vs any smart phones without the knowledge of the said model.
If you think the zoom/iso capability of your gears is better, please let me know what are they, how much money and weight.

I agree, its camera zooming capability is a strong spying apparatus.
How did our government listen to the phone conversations of other presidents? Because they use US equipment. If they use Huawei, US government can no longer do that. That worries US.

As soon as a cell phone camera can capture this I'll get rid of the 10lbs. of DSLR equipment that did it from 150 ft. away.
That day may come sooner than you think if not now.
What you brag about is the zooming/iso capability of your camera and pro-lens; that is what the P30 Pro best at; consider 10lbs vs 0.5 lb and $$$ vs $900.
Because of the US censorship, the price drops.

There are thousands upon thousands of working Professional Photographers around the world that make their living with DSLRs, not cell phones. To predict that "the camera age is doomed" is absurd. Same as claiming that the DSLR age is doomed.
When somebody can capture this image with a Smartphone, I might pay attention.
I am not a sky shooter, so I don't know what kind of gears, shooting technique and PP is required to produce such shot.
I don't have expensive Zoom gears either, my best zoom is a Tamron 200-400 5.6 on my D610. And I don't think the zoomed picture quality can match that of the P30 Pro. And my now travel gear is a Fuji x-T10 with 18-55 2.8, mainly to save my neck and back.
Now I know how a Huawei phone can be used as a spying tool and why Trump don't want you to use one to spy on him.

so you don't find it true, scary or fiction?
By looking at the reviews and photo samples of the Hwawei P30 Pro, I find that dsl camera days is numbered. At a price of less than a pro zoom lens, it can do much more.
Its technology may not be truly optical, but the effect is similar to 100 times the iso capacity of today's camera. This is only the beginning of a new era of photo technology.
At least for now, you won't need to carry 20 lbs of photo gears on a safari trip.
Hwawei is a smart phone and network company, which is under Trump's censorship heavily.
If Hwawei opens a camera subsidiary, I believe a lot major camera companies will go bankruptcy.
And we can mothball our collections of gears.
Do you find this is true, scary, or fiction?

It seems that in Auto Mode, I can't use BBF, nor can I reposition the focusing point. I like a single center point, but Auto puts multiple points wherever it wants them. I should probably stick with Aperture or Shutter Priority.
I hope you enjoy your newly x-T30, I also bought a used x-T10 recently with the 18-50 lens. Once thing I noticed is the raw file Raf (16MP) uses more storage space than my D610(24MP) Nef file; 32MB VS 27MB.
Also when shooting panoramic, it seems I have to finish the full range in order for it to record and process; that's I find very inconvenient.
How does your x-T30 behave in these 2 areas.

The 1920 x 1280 dimension is the embedded jpg in the raw file.
Actual size for raf. file will be 4896 x 3264
thank you, it makes sense.
My window explorer does not show the meta data of the Raf file as yours did(don't know why), but Faststones shows the 1920x1280
Since I don't have Capture One so I open the Raf file with PS Camera Raw and it shows 4896 x 3264.
Now I know my Fuji uses more memory(32MB) to store a raf file because it has an embedded jpg file.
Fuji Raf uses about 29MB to store 16MP of raw image plus 2.5MB of embedded jpg,
while Nikon Nef uses 26MB to store 24 MP of raw image and an embedded jpg. Numbers is approximation only.
Can I say the Nikon NEF formatting method is much better in my.
Since there are many good reviews for the Fuji jpg, I wonder how many Fuji users bypass shooting raw?
thanks for the information.
the Raf was taken at an aspect ratio 16:9
The Raf file property shows very little information except its size.
Here is the screen shot of the Raf file against a regular Nef file even though it has much less MP
So it is possible that my Fuji uses more space than my D610 to store a raw file?

The maximum resolution for your Fujifilm X-T10 is 4896 x 3264 (16 megapixels). If the image files being created by this camera are less than maximum pixel resolution, prior to any editing by you, be sure to review the camera manual and the camera settings and reset to the large / maximum size.
When creating screen prints, it's more helpful to store the attachment. The text / details of your attachment cannot be seen from this small thumbnail to diagnosis further.
Do you mean that the mp number will change according to the image taken?
Then why the RAF size is larger than that of my NEF, that means a SD will store less RAF than NEF?
I use Jing to catch the screen; I don't know any other way

Check your settings. You may be on small.. The large size will be 16mp.
let me show the screen display of the Raf file which I use my x-T10 to shoot on a NEF file on my monitor.
I am confused by my recent finding.
I recently got myself a used Fuji-T10 with 18-50mm to easy my back for travelling.
The camera has a resolution of 16 mp
With the Faststone Viewer, it produces a raw file (raf) of (1920x1280 = 2.46MP, 32,999KB)
while my older D610 of 24mp, the raw(nef) has (6016x4016=24.16MP, 28,175KB)
I am puzzled by these numbers, why the newer Fuji shows a much lesser MP and a larger file size than my D610.
Thanks ahead for those who can provide me an answer.
Thanks, that is a very good site with free Lightroom presets on becoming member.
I find that the free presets are very useful.
