Fujifilm X-T3 vs X-T4 - Do you need IBIS?
GREAT PRICE on the Fujifilm X-T4!!! - geni.us/VN08T2X
In this video I go over all the key differences between the Fujifilm X-T3 and the Fujifilm X-T4. I also test the IBIS vs non IBIS performance on the Fujinon 18-55mm, Fujinon 16-80mm, Fujinon 10-24mm, Fujinon 55-200mm, Fujinon 90mm f2, Fujinon 23mm f2, Fujinon 35mm f2, and Fujinon 50mm f2.

IBIS is also useful for lowlight photos with static subjects - street scenes at night, shooting in woodlands, etc.

[@HarriRomppainen]

Great, very comprehensive testing and analysis! I used to own a Sony a6300. I loved its 4K24 image quality, but handheld shooting without microjitters was so difficult. With a heavy rig it was ok, but looked so silly for that small camera! Last year I bought the X-T4 and I love it! It is great for hybrid shooting and run&gun filmmaking. Still, I would say that the most challenging way of shooting is handheld with swaying motion. The IBIS tries too hard to resist that motion and results in stuttering. I wish those IBIS parameters could be changed.

[@ajinkyapc]

Very good detailed analysis. Thank you for the efforts!

Well… IBIS also makes a difference for stills when you have a slow shutter speed. Useful for low light situation, but not only. I like to go to 1/8s or even 1/6s for street photography sometimes, having every building clear and people/bikes/cars blurred… Hard to do without IBIS if you don’t have a tripod :/

The LCD on the X-T4 sports 1.62m dots, as opposed to 1.04m dots on the X-T3 LCD. When you consider how much one has to use the LCD, whether to shoot photos, reviewing photos taken, or scrolling through the menus, the higher resolution is nicer.

I haven't used the XT3 but the XT4 with IBIS is solid. I shoot all handheld and I don't notice any microjitters. I think for those who already have the XT3, you probably don't need to make the jump to the XT4 if you have a lens with OIS. Very thorough video comparison. I liked your video and subscribed to your channel!

[@markwiemels]

Yes, this is my assessment as well. The biggest issue I had with the XT3 (I now own the XT4) is no low light lenses with OIS, so makes low light video a challenge.

[@calumetdarren]

@@markwiemels I just looked at their lineup and you’re right. Only 18-55 F2.8 or 80 F2.8 with OIS. Not sure if F2.8 is enough for you in low light tho. It’s like the bare minimum. I know ideally everyone wants F1.8 or lower.

[@markwiemels]

@@calumetdarren the 18-55 at 2.8 is ok, but with that xt4 I use the 16 1.4 and the 23 1.4 for video now, lets in lots of light, sometimes even the 56 f1.2.

I went with the X-S10. It lacks the new battery but does have pretty good IBIS.

[@fanjan7527]

I used the 90F2 for video few months ago....I wont call it a video lens. I did a manual focus pull and that lens had this weird, staggered focus shift. I didn't try it with the 35mm. Cool video, thanks for the details. For me the X-T3 seems a good bet for video considering that I am used to rigging cine camera's up and using weight and a top handle to stabilise.

[@markwiemels]

I had that same stepping issue with another Fuji lens the other day, can’t recall which one, but yes, really made focus pulls impossible.

[@chrisbarron5861]

IBIS has helped me due to having a tremor which makes shooting shutter speeds of 1/fl sometimes hit and miss. X-S10 has really helped me (like an X-T40)

[@markwiemels]

I'm with you, same issues, I use to have the most steady hands around.

[@HenryMerk]

Is the stabilization on the XT-4 better with IBIS + OIS, or with only IBIS? Have heard that those two IS-systems sometimes work against each other and you end up with "sticky" camera movement.

[@markwiemels]

You can not disable OIS, and use IBIS only. So it’s either all IS on or all off. It works well enough, but isn’t perfect.

[@HenryMerk]

@@markwiemels Thanks for answering, appreciate it. What I meant was...is the stabilization level kind of the same when you use a prime lens and therefore only have IBIS enabled...or use an OIS-lens and therefore have OIS+IBIS enabled?

[@markwiemels]

@@HenryMerk I don’t find that the IBIS and OIS fight each other. Some of the Fuji lenses have less than perfect OIS for video already, they tend to jump instead of moving smoothly, but the IBIS does not appear to make things worse. The IBIS with the prime lenses is very good, shocking good really, but it’s still not perfect and can jump at times, but you kinda learn how to work with it.

[@donmariano5489]

Exactly what I needed to watch now😁. Torn between xt3 and xt4. I will save money more by buying the xt3, and also by my use case. For now I am still practicing to make videos. So I think for now, i will not need the xt4. I will go with the xt3.

[@josecarpio2590]

Good review! BTW, doesnt the XT3 have the Movie Optimized Mode which helps save the settings when switching from photo to video? Thanks!

[@markwiemels]

It has a “silent” movie mode. Which does save the settings but disables all the dials and forces you to use the touch screen to control all functions. Which if the menu system was like canon, this would be fine, but with Fuji it’s all multiple levels deep and really doesn’t work for on the fly control.

[@eliaspap8708]

You don’t really need IBIS but it does help. I sold both my XT3s for XT4s and the best thing is the Batteries and better quieter shutter. Ibis is just another safety net to help the upcoming photographers get sharper images, the gap is closing

[@markwiemels]

Yeah, I have the X-T4 now and love it.

[@hejakma4682]

I have a X-T3 and a gimbal, but i never use it because its so cumbersome. I often do photos and video of the same scenes, so this is rather complicated with a gimbal.

[@sshmus]

I will switch from X-t3 to X-t5 for sure just for IBIS.

[@mexploretravel7213]

Thanks for the video Mark - nice job. I own an XT3 and carrying an extra couple of batteries is no biggie. My movie settings never get lost - switching back & forth to stills. Using a gimbal normally (this would even be needed with IBIS), as you've noted. Gimbals are needed to video. IBIS is more useful for low light stills, of course. IBIS is great marketing & sells many more cameras too. The flippy screen is over-rated since I can make changes in post and I generally know already what my lens sees during a vlog. I see you did a great job too with your vlog, without the flippy screen. I've tried the mirrors but even then I don't really need that either. Despite my bias, I think the XT3 is a much better deal, especially now since the price is reduced with the introduction of the XT4, as you've noted. I do however need a larger grip so a simple add on Small Rig piece is OK. The firmware upgrades (now 4.1) also reduces the need to buy newer hardware. Question: should I disable the OIS in my 18-55 with gimbal usage? I'll try and see if this helps or hinders. Keep up the videos and thanks again.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks. Lena IS is a mixed bag with gimbals, I find in most setups it helps, but you really need to test it and take it lens by lens, it can even vary between gimbals.

[@thelostvisuals]

Overall how are you finding the m43 world compared to the M50 bud? I'm very much considering an xt-4 / Lumix g9 as an upgrade .. buttt I do find myself shooting a lot of low light which worries me a bit (and sends me toward FF with considering the lumix S5 instead..)

[@mostosi1965]

it was quite helpful !! Thanks a lot. I have a Xt-3 and I’m very happy. I have a question : considering a purchase of a second body, and considering that I’m going to buy a gimble, would you consider a HS-1 or another xt-3 ? both xt-3 and hs-1 are more budget than xt-4, therefore I was thinking that perhaps, I could use the hs-1 as hand.e and mount the xt3 on a gimble for shooting video, and I could use the hs-1 with ibis either for photo and handle video, in case needed. What do you think ? thx

Unfortunately the only prime lenses with stabilization that Fuji makes are the 80 and 200mm lenses, which are very expensive.

Well now this makes me even more torn. Because I shoot a lot of video/make short films and do lot of portraits. I’ve been wanting to dip my toe into the world of Fuji. And I would absolutely love an XT4. I just don’t think my budget allows for it right now. I feel Iike the XT3 with money spent on a good lens & gimbal is probably the better route. I already own an a6400 so I’m used to no IBIS, but I do own lenses image stabilization. I just want better video codecs the camera has to offer, and I know how much people rave about Fuji colors.

[@markwiemels]

I would look at the X-S10, it has IBIS and most of the video specs of the XT3/4. Also look at the X-T30, these might be better starter cameras to test the Fuji experience.

Great effort, i am in the same position to decide between X-S10 and X-T30 II or X-E4. I am not a pro. I and planning to only but two prime lens only. Background: I want to keep a small mobile setup almost like an alternative to smartphone that does not take more space hence the idea to stick with tiny primes. As you can see I would like to do both photos and maybe occasional small video clips during travel. Having said that, I am still confused.

[@markwiemels]

Don't buy the X-E4, it's the worst fuji that I ever owned, terrible ergonomics.

Thanks for the advice. Yes I agree with that. Now it is between X-T30 II and X-S10. Still unable to make up my mind whether i can manage without IBIS. I am coming from Pentax where all of their bodies have IS. Having said that I AM night an expert in photography. Still a novice.

[@markwiemels]

If you are sticking with primes, and want to shoot video with them, you really do need the IBIS. For photos, the x-t30 would be great, and probably my preference, as it’s got the Fuji cool-factor.

It will make a very very noticeable difference. I have seen sharp example taken down to 1/2 second hand held, some people say they have even got away with 1 second exposures.

IBIS makes a huge difference for low light despite what other channels and forums say. I can get away with 1/30 second on an 85mm lens but I've got a slightly shaky hand. When I had the X-T20 I had to follow the focal length doubled rule.

@@bronzepodcast if you’re not doing video I would consider a used X-H1, but for video you need the new cameras, it was big step up in video quality.

Besides the IBIS review (which was great!), what really called my attention was the difference in contrast (and/or dynamic range) between the two cameras! The X-T3 much more contrasty, with blowing whites and shades. Could the settings have been too different between the two cameras or is it the different technology?

Note: IBIS example was from an X-H1, which I did outline in the video. X-H1 and X-T4 have similar IBIS, image quality on the X-T3 and X-T4 is exactly the same.

Totally different sensors, imagine processing, autofocus systems. It’s a big difference, especially in 4K video, maybe less so for photos.

[@cainechildress1567]

I’m afraid to buy the XT3 and then they turn around and announce the xt5 ..would you suggest waiting? Do you think the XT5 will come out this year ? I’m not flooded with money and have been saving every penny to get this camera with the 35mm 1.4 ( Lens ) for street photography . Also is the XT3 significantly smaller than the XT4 or do they basically feel the same .. I held the XT4 and loved the way it felt in my hands .. I have bigger hands ..and I love the look of a bigger old school camera ( I currently don’t own a camera ) I have some skills and like the X serious of cameras ..I’m stuck with choosing with Xt3 or XT4 ..I really don’t like the flippy screen on the xt4… I love the XT3 screen I wish they did the XT4 screen like the XT100 that screen is beautiful plus the..I love the fact that the XT4 has iBs ( sorry if I’m doing the wrong abbreviations) … any advice you would recommend I do ?

[@markwiemels]

I would just buy the xt3, there will be a new Fuji camera this year, but the rumour is it will cost $2500, possibly more. The xt3 is an amazing camera for the money, a new release camera won’t change that fact.

[@cainechildress1567]

@@markwiemels thank you so much for you advise

[@cainechildress1567]

@@markwiemels I found an XT3 ( used on Amazon ) for $900 would you suggest getting that? What’s your thoughts on used cameras ?

[@markwiemels]

@@cainechildress1567 I buy used cameras, but you really need to do your research and make up your own mind. I look for a good return policy, and if there is any warranty coverage. Fuji cameras are pretty reliable, so tend to be ok to buy used.

spend all my money buying a xt4, cant afford a sd card, do u have a xtra card could give me?thanks

[@IliaSibiryakov]

Why do colours and field of view change between IBIS and NO IBIS?

[@markwiemels]

Different Cameras, different processing.

[@IliaSibiryakov]

@@markwiemels Oops missed that

[@martinohesse]

I'm really hoping an X-T40 with ibis and new IQ setting and film simulations... Seems it will never come to reality...

[@markwiemels]

Yes, I think the X-S10 is taking up that slot. Would be great to see an X-T40 with IBIS.

[@martinohesse]

@@markwiemels yes, sadly the X-S10 is very ugly and nothing "fuji look"... 😂 😂 😂

[@JoeLopez]

I shoot mainly street and ice hockey photographs. No IBIS required here 😎

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

The X-T4 would have been a dream and would have paid the 500 extra, IF THE IBIS WASN'T SO "WARPish" IN THE CORNERS! That alone is a deal-breaker for me - it looks like someone slapped a random heavy stabilization in post without even checking to see how it looks! So amateurish. But, it is clearly that this is the 1st "IBIS" gen for Fujifilm, so I am gonna wait for 2nd gen. Hopefully they will improve this.

[@markwiemels]

It's really only like that on the very wide lenses. Also need to disable the digital IS.

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

@@markwiemels Ok. Thanks.

[@Jbzy3000]

If you need ibis in hindsight get an inexpensive gimbal. Should be less than the 500.00 price difference.

[@markwiemels]

Yes, that's an option for sure.

[@stevechan5569]

Thanks for taking the time to do the review and comparison. I don’t shoot video and I am convinced that my obvious choice would be the X-T3. The thing really annoys me is that most of the Fujifilm cameras includes the X-T3, X-T4, and the new X-H2, etc. are made outside of Japan. That’s why I own the X-T2 and X100V as both of them are made in Japan. This is the exact reason I am not interested in the X-H2. If I buy a Japanese car, I definitely want one made in Japan. Potentially the lone Fujifilm camera ends up being made in Japan may be the medium format? This is the exact reason why I dropped Nikon 10 years ago after using Nikon for over 40 years. Nikon is making their flagship Z9 outside of Japan. I will feel betrayed by the fellow Japanese if I am Japanese! Just my personal 2 cents opinion, and nobody has to agree with it.

[@markwiemels]

Yea, I do understand that. Having said that, I have the new release Canon R7, it's made in Japan, all plastic body, I also have the X-T4, made in China, metal body and beautifully finished. They are the same price. The X-T4 is a much nicer camera.

[@stevechan5569]

@@markwiemels I also have the new Canon R7, and I agree that the Fujifilm X-T2, 3, 4, etc. are of good quality and finished regardless the made origin. But why are people so eager to betray their fellow countrymen to maximize their profits by outsourcing? Again, it’s my personal opinion.

[@markwiemels]

I do get that that.

[@samson40a]

I still want IBIS for low light pictures such as in a museum. Want to use lower ISO and no tripod. Not interested in video

[@chloescanlon1107]

I’d pay extra to not have that infernal flippy tilt screen. KZbinrs demanding this are a curse!

[@markwiemels]

haha... true story!

[@masanthar]

Yeah ibis is better. Strap on a prime lens anf go to town at blue hour and night

Reasonable way to think.

[@davidmskiba]

nice video tho, but the backgroundmusic is annoying

[@markwiemels]

Thanks, yes, this was shot during my annoying background music phase.

[@skills_hd]

ya, disappointed with the xt4 screen dam, i do videos, and the xt3 tilt screen works way better

[@gerardowmby7156]

If you have to get 3 more batteries, a wider lens, and a gimble, you are not saving any money with the X-T3. Unless you buy it used.

[@markwiemels]

No, and it’s far less convenient.

[@ajquestell]

Sounds like you could have kept the XH-1 and gotten everything you wanted, including money in your pocket.

[@markwiemels]

I did consider that, the autofocus wasn’t quite up to the X-T3 and the 4K video (my main use), was slightly cropped and a bit softer... but it was a close decision. X-H1 is an amazing camera, feels better in the hand than the X-T3 or 4. I’m hopeful there will be an X-H2.

[@Flavio.Bucciarelli]

No i don't need IBIS.

Why the god awful music, I want to concentrate on what you have to say... Anyway, have liked and subscribed. 🙂

Yah, I don’t use music in the videos anymore. Sorry.

Xt4 only if you make money of it, for others xt3 enough
