Fuji X-T4 Review-Wildlife Photography

[@adammacsween3230]

Finally an actual photographer that makes reviews, not a KZbin who tries to review cameras and equipment. THank you for your work Anthony.

[@kalenderquantentunnel9411]

You can even tell it from his handling of the camera and lens. Then you see the awsome shots on his website an you get the picture! 😀

[@daytona4734]

Finally a humble photographer without the ego or arrogance.

[@hikingsteven7665]

Exacly

[@GaryJahman]

The first two and a half minutes was something from National Geographic channel man! Great job

[@apoorvappychoudhary392]

Seriously man ! Very beautiful.

[@albertloan396]

Loved seeing the camera's results, something that is oddly lacking from most reviews.

[@Theo5555]

My nikon gear consisted of a nikon 500mm f4 VRII and full frame body and crop bodies. Also a nikon 300mm f4 and the nikon 80-400mm VRII. For larger birds such as a heron, 500mm was often sufficient, but I still had to crop regularly. For smaller birds, I used a Nikon 1.4 tele converter on my 500mm lens and the D500-d7200 crop bodies, and still had to crop afterwards. If you have an equipped bird place that you can get close to, you don't always have to crop. I couldn't do wildlive anymore due to health problems and I sold all my nikon gear and bought myself fuji gear. Now my health has improved and I want to do more wildlife photography again and I bought the fuji 100-400mm. the number of misses I now have compared to my former nikon gear is considerable. The fuji 100-400mm is also not that sharp compared to my nikon 80-400mm, not to mention the speed of the AF. What I now know is the following: for wildlife and fast sports photography, fuji is very disappointing for me. Fuji is very good for stills and I enjoy it, but for wildlife live it is very disappointing.

That was probably the most rewarding and informative review I’ve enjoyed for some time.

Sir, your content is much better than many KZbinrs who have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Please add more content. Your content surely deserves more views. It will help us grow as well.🙏

[@ivanrivera57]

Agree with the comment about photography being super for our mental health! Find it to be my favorite de-stressor.

[@fujiwildlifevideography9288]

I've been using the Fuji XT-4 for almost two years now with the very compact and budget friendly XC 50-230mm f/4.5-6.7 for wildlife videography and I’m very satisfied with the results. The camera and lens really jump started a new hobby for me since the start of the pandemic. I've been particularly pleased with the stabilization but of course low light scenarios are tough when limited to f/6.7 (really need to crank up the ISO). Nevertheless I’ve really enjoyed getting outside and capturing some beautiful Ohio wildlife.

[@HikmahNavarro]

hello there! I will be moving to Cuyahoga Falls in a month and I wonder if you can send me link where I can see what you have captured in Ohio. Thank you!

[@Zapruderfilm1963]

This amazing photographer has proven with this video that Fujifilm is counted in the top camera manufacturers for numerous photographic genres, including wildlife.

[@adrianweckler6087]

This is absolutely super footage -- a far better advert for the X-T4 than most of the others I've seen. Fair play.

[@davidmcc6666]

Mate, I wasn't going to watch as I thought not another X-T4 review, but this was really good. First time I have heard about the ISO displayed during auto ISO. Thanks, mate.

[@richaneesh]

The last sunset shot was surreal

[@iMax1890]

Finally an X-T4 Wildlife photography review... THANK YOU!!! A 500 mm f/5.6 prime may be quite expensive... perhaps a 200-500 mm zoom could be a little bit more affordable and all around? Hope a Fuji zoom with this reach was released 🙏 Great video! Keep it up!

[@cameraman655]

I too would like to see Fuji pursue this area of photography. While not much of a nature/wildlife shooter myself, I do dabble. My field is photojournalism/documentary and travel and I do shoot quite a few events where long glass is definitely an asset. I currently rock the 50-140 and 100-400. While I love the 50-140, not so much love for the 100-400. I have rented the 200mm a beautiful lens, I wish I could afford to buy it outright. As for Fuji adding new and longer lenses to their lineup, well according to the Fuji Podcast via Fuji Rumours a few weeks back, the guest, the head of Fuji UK seem to be saying that Fuji might be re-thinking long prime lenses, due in large part to slow sales of the 200mm. Again, that is a rumour, let's hope that it is not true. Anywho, like Anthony, I am an ex-Canon shooter of some 37 years that have fallen in love with the Fuji-X system (there seems to be a lot of us out there) and I have not regretted it for one moment.

[@kalenderquantentunnel9411]

A 200-500 wouldn't be too different from the 100-400 besides beeing heavier, bigger - look at Nikon's - for a bit longer reach. A 500/5.6 DO has the potential for top-notch image quality as well as compact size and handholdability. One could carry it as easily as the 100-400 with longer reach and better IQ. Could be a bird-photographers dream.

[@iMax1890]

Kalender Quantentunnel a bird photographer dream you say... I’ve been photographing pelagic birds for a while and I’ve seen 600 mm f/4 kept away because of the fixed focal lenght, despite being “a bird photographer dream”. There are no bird photographers dream. There is the lens you are carrying with you at the time Nature gifts you with an encounter. At that time, I’d rather carry a newer Fuji lens with extra reach like Nikon’s than a fixed prime with the same reach with almost no noticeable better image quality. I’d rather come back home with actual material than with a “bird phorographers dream” and no pictures at all because they were nearer than expected. I finally got the A7RIV + 200-600 mm lens. LOVE IT. It’s... a wildlife photographer’s dream 😉 Cheers!

[@twiglet2214]

Nice work Anthony - your passion for your art shines through the beautiful images you have shared with us. Just made the transition from Nikon to the XT-4 and have to say this is a lovely hybrid camera and it handles superbly well.Much easier to carry around than a DSLR with 200-500mm af lens which i took to the Farne Islands last year ! Thanks for posting such a positive and uplifting review.

[@MrHitthespot]

I love the camera and seriously considered it for wildlife photography. Unfortunately there just isn’t enough high quality zoom and primes lenses by Fuji for wildlife. I ended up going with a Nikon D500.

[@koolkutz7]

Makes sense. If you pair the D500 with a Nikkor 200-500mm F5.6 or maybe a Sigma 150-600mm you have a powerful combo.

[@benbeattie4609]

Stunning photography and film, absolutely beautiful! Very helpful review thank you - I’m really tempted now!!

[@deeeeeds]

Thanks so much for this video, it's nice to hear from real professionals

For the Battery Grip... a dab of blue (not red) locktight works wonders in holding the 1/4-20 in place for a grip that you don't expect to ever want to take off.

Thanks Anthony for your well thought out, very informative, honest, heart felt review 🙏 Absolute pleasure to watch

[@oclaser]

That was one of the best I have seen about XT4. Your work is superb and I thing the whole terminology of "Wildlife" should change to "Serene Life" instead. There is noting "wild" in this video, it just gives me so much peace and joy. Keep on the great job.

[@SteveZodiac777]

Thanks for an interesting review and sharing great photos!

[@koolkutz7]

Great review Anthony, love the wildlife footage-particularly of the fox and badger. I would consider Fuji for wildlife photo/video if they did have a couple more options in their telephoto lens line-up. I currently use a Nikon D7500 + Sigma 150-600mm C lens. For stills that is FF equiv of 225mm - 900mm and for video their is an extra 1.5X crop when filming in 4K so in some ways even better for wildlife. But using a DSLR is not always ideal for hybrid shooters like me. If Fuji could make maybe a 200-600mm F5.6 lens that would be a killer combo paired with the X-T4. If they do make an X-H2 it should have an integrated grip like the Olympus EM1-X and built-in variable ND filter which would be so helpful for video (shutter angle etc). Keep up the good work :-)

[@christopherstevenson9737]

AMAZING Footage !! Took some real patience and effort not to mention skills. Especially like seeing the badger! I haven't seen one yet. Been watching wildlife for over 30 years. Keep up the good work.

[@batdroid2705]

i have zero interest in wildlife photography but i ended up watching the whole 22 mins. Great stuff mate

Love your intro, tranquill and peaceful. Nicely done.

[@DjCjFoto]

Thanks for the video, this is really the first one about what I'm interested in. One thing you haven't talked about is, how EVF refresh rate and blackout compares to X-T3?

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Hi Good point i didn’t test that but it would be good to compare side by side, but I have sold my X-T3 now 😂

Amazing video. Wow. The wildlife you captured was incredible. Liked & Subscribed.

[@paulchapman1168]

Great video. I'm going to buy a fujifilm camera later in the year. I am lucky enough to have a decent budget so xt4 is looking possible but l also love the xpro3 and x100v. I don't shoot video but I'm still undecided they are all great. I love the simplicity of the xpro3 and x100v. Any tips. Is the xt4 the best all-rounder?

This is such a good help for beginner photographer or shall I say hobbies in photographer beginners. I find this interesting, just bought my New Fujifilm X-t4 with kit lens of 16-80mm but planning to do lanscape and wildlife as well so planning to buy 100-400mm. I dont know if this i a best move but i really wanted to do wildlife photography. Need you suggestion. Thank you

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Hi Rolweng glad it was helpful for you, the 100-400mm is a great stating point for wildlife photography with Fuji X gear definately

[@Rolweng]

@@anthonyhurren5613 Interesting, thank you for your response.

[@_galterius]

what a great review, thanks Anthony, there are only a few people using fuji for wildlife (well there are not enough lenses) I just bought a used xt3 and I love it !! can't wait to use it for wildlife photography/videos, as of right now I have an old canon FD 200mm f4 that should do the job ! (it's fully manual but sooo lightweight !)

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Galterius that sounds fun are you using a fringer adapter?

[@_galterius]

@@anthonyhurren5613 well it's a completely manual vintage lens so I only need a "dead" adapter. I bought the k&f FD to FX (20euros) and it works really well, it's made out of steel so no weak spot there ! It's not the sharpest lens in the world but it's very cheap (actually I got it for free, I found it in a closet at my gradparents' house ^^) I would also love to get the fringer adapter to adapt nice EF telephoto lenses (my father owns a 600 f4 L

[@momentsof.photography]

[@MihaiStrömpl]

Superb captures. Great job!

[@Optidorf]

Really great intro and outro, this is why I love these kind of channels and reviews more than the stuff of let's say Jared Polin (not that there's anything wrong with Polin). I'm afraid that wildlife photographers will be neglected by Fuji. From what I know they will release a 70-300mm zoom lens next year. Prime lenses such as the 500mm will be way too niche for them. It doesn't help that the 200mm prime lens has pretty terrible sales. Regarding the X-H2 there are rumors that it either will have a 42 megapixel or 31 megapixel sensor from Sony. The 42 megapixel sensor sounds really impressive, but I think it will come with a big cost regarding pixel density making it difficult to use in dark(er) situations. The 31 megapixel sensor would make sense in order to distinct the X-H2 from the X-T4.

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Hi Optidorf thanks for the comments! I think I am right in saying if Fuji opt for a square pixel sensor the higher pixel count won't be as bad in low light as a standard higher res rectangular pixel therefore hopefully it won't effect the low light performance too much, lets hope Fuji get the balance right of resolution and low light performance! Kind regards Anthony

[@Vinterloft]

Not just sports and wildlife shooters want Fuji to integrate battery grips, I've been advocating for it as well and I shoot concerts.

[@martinparker5872]

Hi a really well made video I totally agree with your comments regarding a 500mm lens it’s definitely needed for bird photography. Was this video created with the XT4 using IBIS in camera. You can see your love of nature in this video. Really nice to see content like this during these times.

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Martin Parker hi Martin glad you like it! Yes all the footage shot with the Fuji X-T4 with the 200mm + 100-400 with IBIS on combined with the lenses own Optical OIS, the except where the camera is actually in shot. There is no stabilisation added on post on any of the X-T4 clips, but I have obviously chosen all the best clips I took, but it performed superbly considering the length of the lenses I was using for hand held video clips. 👍

[@johndoherty1336]

Great balanced review and I am just at the stage of considering upgrading my XT3. I mainly shoot swans and event work for charities. My only comment which is observational not critical is when comparing the 100-400 and 200 lenses , the latter prime is eye watering expensive and should be significantly better that the 100-400.

[@tomfull6637]

Hi Anthony, XT3 actually displays ISO as soon as you press down the shutter button halfway. (Stills not movie.) Love the relaxed style and interesting content in your reviews! Thank you! B Rgds, Anders, Sweden

[@anthonyhurren5613]

I just seemed to just get my custom max iso showing on a half press for some reason 🤔 maybe they changed it with a firmware? I have sold it now though so can’t check anymore

[@tomfull6637]

Yes that puzzled me too in the beginning. Until I noticed that it was only (me) the camera hitting the roof as regards the chosen custom iso limit in combination with my chosen SS and aperture. I set up three custom iso ranges directly in the beginning and usually the camera hit the upper iso-limit on the two lower range iso setting very quickly when shooting wildlife (high ss etc..) so I realised that the “max” iso “always” being displayed in the viewfinder was just a result of the camera trying its best to expose correctly at those high SS’s I had chosen, hence cranking up to the highest iso value “allowed” by my custom iso range setting. So if anybody out there have the same problem, choose slower and slower SS and press the shutter button halfway until you see the iso value start dropping. (Choosing biggest aperture (lowest number) helps...) Then you know that the camera is working properly displaying the correct iso in your viewfinder when having auto iso chosen. If that doesn’t work, try again in a brighter light somewhere.... Short version: think exposure triangle! - 😉

Awesome review I shoot a broad range of styles mainly portrait and landscape and I am leaving Nikon ff to Fuji xt3 have u missed the ff dof or larger mega pixel files love to see a video on other styles

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Michael Nikonfuji hi Michael glad you like the video! I personally haven’t missed full frame, I do recommend getting the fast primes though 1.4’s that for me give enough background separation for weddings portraits etc, in fact when I owned a canon full frame with 1.4 primes I often found the depth of field too shallow at times not being able to focus very easily on both eyes for close portraits etc, so ended up stopping down a little anyway, but that’s just my personal opinion, you can see loads more of my non wildlife work here: www.anthonyhurren.com

[@carlosdias1940]

Hi Anthony! Definitely I'm a committed sports photographer really into high quality work...however, so much to learn and that day to reach this goal is way far! Great approach to the XT-4 and generally the video is really excellent. On my side an XT-3 kit lens + 50140 and 100-400 and recently 90mmF2. Looking for 2021 for a second body either a XT4 or the XH-2... The second body is for a more comfortable and safe shoot, either I have to switch on the field e.g. rugby or motor racing or because of the IBIS capabilities. Agree about the 100-400, and the prime 200 on my wish list. I'll have a check on your IG and introduce myself. Thank you for addressing the subject so well and Merry Xmas :)

[@SL-jo4om]

Thanks for this great video. Can you comment on whether the IBIS adds anything to the XF100-400, which already has OIS?

[@anthonyhurren5613]

S L hi i haven’t done any side by side tests but certainly from just using it for video you can see the improved stability so I would say yes it’s an improvement for sure! 👍

[@jhonnyfranz5905]

I am now using the xt20 with 100-400. It is good, also if I see people with canon and nikon take better wildlife photo. But I think, this problem, is because the poor lenses for wildlife that Fuji has, only the 100-400 and the 200. Hope they will make some more lenses, like a 600. If this happens, I will definitely stay on Fuji and upgrade with xt4. Great video (:

[@GoMoreHike]

Great info. I've been wanting to get a xt4. Do you see any drawbacks of it Not being a full frame camera? Re: wildlife. Also I like how the body and many lenses are WR rated

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Hi sure there is always a compromise somewhere with sensor size and camera size lens size etc. Of course a full frame will allow maybe a stop better. but the APC gives further reach and smaller lens size and weight, which I find outweighs the extra stop of low light performance on full frame, especially if you haves fast lens like the 200mm f2 👍

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Go More Hike hi thanks for your comments! To be honest I think on balance APSC is a sweet spot for wildlife in terms of kit size/weight and image quality sure you may loose a stop of low light performance vs full frame but I am willing to sacrifice that for smaller gear. Also of course when I use the 200mm F2 it makes up for that. But at the same time sometimes shooting wildlife close up and wide open for birds etc I need to stop down anyway to get more of the animal in focus rather than just the eyes and beak etc. I think generally us photographers can easily over obsess with background blur especially from a wedding/portrait background (myself included) and forget about the more important details of the subject itself, this is especially true I think in wildlife photography where it’s nice to see feather detail or fur etc. 👍

[@josephgarese5953]

Anthony, great review and some excellent pics, thanks! Eight months on, are you still using the 100-400 zoom? In general I'm more of a prime lens photographer but for birds I would be more interested in that lens because of versatility and reach. Wanted to ask if you have tried it with the teleconverters, and if you have, whether you noticed any quality compromise. (You had already stated an image quality difference between the prime lens and the zoom, the question is whether image quality is further compromised).

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Hi Joseph I tend to avoid using converters on the 100-400 if possible only if I have great light and can stop down to f11 to help the sharpness at the long end, or for just reference shots. But bare In mind I am very fussy about lenses rendering detail as I prefer primes over zooms also, and the detail from the 200mm f2 is so good it has raised my expectations for lenses to a higher level. The 100-400 is at its sharpest before the long end so I stop down to around f8 if at 400mm. Fuji are bringing out a 150-600mm in 2022 according to Fujirumours (who are very accurate with their predictions) also maybe Sigma might offer something this year, I want to try the Nikon 500pf with a fringer adapter if there isn’t any long prime options in 2021 for Fuji.

The xt2 + 100-400 does this nice unless birds or animals are fast. Did you shot with an XT2 + 100-400 too and would it be a big improvement to justify the 1800 euro for the XT4?

[@afshind9376]

solid and informative content. Thank you!

[@haaspaas2]

I just started out doing more serious wild life photography and the X-T4/X-T3 seemed like great options. The one thing that kept me from choosing them is the limited selection of long lenses. I mostly shoot during dusk/dawn. Does it make sense to go full-frame here, or does the extra reach of crop sensors outweigh the benefit of the ff's low light performance?

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Ohh very good question its a tricky balance I guess if you can afford to get the 200mm F2 (or get a bank loan like I did and pay for it monthly) and are ok shooting on a 300mm Full frame equivalent then the fuji is great for dusk, but if you need longer length then maybe full Frame is the way to go. The Fuji 50-140 2.8 is also a great lens but maybe not the reach you would need for most wildlife photography. But bear in mind in the future fuji have opened their mount design to 3rd party lenses. Plus hopefully the patent 300mm F4 DO and 500mm F5.6DO will be produced, but no guarantees.

[@pierrelaviolette670]

“Love how compact it is”, huge lense :)

[@anthonyhurren5613]

Pierre Laviolette 🤣 yes the 200mm F2 is a beast but it’s worth noting the equivalent full frame canon lens is the 300mm 2.8 L which is bigger and heavier than the 200mm F2. So there is some difference there 👍

Hi Tony sorry for the late reply, yes it’s been great in low light especially paired with the 200mm F2👍
