Your reviews are on point and very informative :)! I really enjoy watching them and feel like that they are very helpful for my purchase decisions! So many other KZbinrs create camera reviews where half of their video they talk about random things and don't provide in depth information and neutral views as you do. Your in depth infos for me are useful because i see a new camera setup as a long term decision - still running my Canon 60D from 2011 at the moment (produces amazing photos until this day). My considerations for a future setup are either a Sony a7iii + Sigma 24-70 f2.8 or a Fuji XT-4 with 16-55 f2.8 - or waiting for the a7iv release which could be fall 2021 :D. Anyways, keep it up :) Greetings from Germany!

Love the Fuji's, but with 6 children high performing AF is key as is the price-point lol. Sony with the Tammy glass or the R6 with RF adapter/control ring and used L glass all come out near the same cost. Aside from family and daily shooting I'm an Americana landscape guy.

Which tripod do you like for XT4 . thjanks a lot !

[@riddleuncc]

Love your reviews. Thanks so much. Also watched your travel recommendations. Starting in 2021 going to do some serious travel. Considering the XT4 with 16-80 a the base kit and build around it. Wide Angle, small prime and telephoto as needed. However, the Sony A6600 with 16-55 seems killer. I also have a EM5.3 with 12-40 2.8. I also have some Canon M gear, lenses are not up to it, I like the EM5 better. My FF gear is too heavy to pack. So a direct question, if you were heading the pyramids, Paris, Australia what system would you take? Not a video shooter.

[@TheHybridShooter]

If you don't want full frame, Fuji X-T4 is the best choice. Fuji also makes very good 16-55 F2.8

[@MrJanuary2712]

Thanks alot for this real-world usage review of the X-T4. Lots of work went into this video. May I know if the dials are easily knocked out of place? I had that issue with the X-T2, sometimes when just taking it out of the bag.

[@DrKartoffelsalat]

The Shutter and ISO dial have locking buttons. The Exposure comp isnt really prone to getting knocked, the only things that is sometimes prone to getting "out of place" may be some of the looser Aperture Dials on the lenses, some lenses are really a bit loose, but usually, not a dramatic issue, generally also easily avoidable. Additionally, if you stick in in A and use the body controls (custom wheel for example) to set the Aperture. The A position is usually slightly more "clicked and locked" on some lenses. But i guess, you already have an XT-2 and probably know most of these workarounds. I always found the dials on the X-T4 to be really solid atleast in my experience.

[@MindGem]

thank you for this review. I bought it a week ago but its good to get a refresher. That gimbal you had, can you stick a mic on it and still make it free in rotation? Also, what's the max weight for that gimbal? I have a sigma 18-35 lens, its VERY heavy. I dont have money yet to buy a more light weight :) I need a gimbal first.

Thank you for the review and i am planning to buy a prime lens for XT4 , which one is the best for all kind of photography. i have a kit lens.

[@fredriksvard2603]

50mm 2,0 for me, i dont need any other lens for what i do. For other use cases it could be the 16 or even 14mm prime. Some would suggest a 35 or 50mm equivalent - i always found them useless. If i'd add a second lens it would be the 16mm 2,8. But i know what i want, some feel they need to be able to cover every possible situation and well, then you'll end up with the trinity of 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200 zooms plus macro, fisheye, a portrait prime and so on.

Can you hear die IBIS in silent environments? I currently own a X-H1 and the IBIS noise is really annoying (sounds like a loud PC fan as soon as you switch the camera on). In the city with the background noise you barely hear it but when doing landscape photography without tripod it is horrible. The Z6 for example is much quieter.

[@TheHybridShooter]

No, I have never heard loud IBIS in any camera.

Thank you. How is the build quality of the X-T4? I found the build quality of the 3 not as robust as the 2, especially the top dials. I had several X-T3 that had lack of resistance consistency across the top dials, with one feeling very cheap. How is the 4 in this regard and in general?

[@TheHybridShooter]

A little bit worse than X-T3.

[@NGKSTUDIO]

@@TheHybridShooter in what ways?

[@DavidFleet]

@@TheHybridShooter I find this interesting as it feels quite a bit more robust to me. Have you had specific issues?

[@TheHybridShooter]

Not issues, but the display rotating mechanism doesn’t feel very solid, plastic texture on the back of the display feels cheap, plastic on the bottom of the camera and hanging port covers are also downgrades, so it definitely feels less robust than X-T3 to me.

[@DavidFleet]

@@TheHybridShooter I agree about the port covers. Plus their design is a bit annoying as they aren’t removable plus when a mic is plugged in you can’t rotate the screen which is irritating. The body as a whole lacks that hollow feeling of the XT3 and previous XT bodies though so feels better to me.

im very curious about zooming with video on other brands, just wondering if you show zooming with sony/canon? quick question - regardless of price which is faster to focus? the 56mm f1.2 or the viltrox 50mm f1.4? thank you. here's to fuji hoping they push the video design forward with the X-H2.

With Sony or Canon it depends on the lens. I have only tested 50mm F1.0, so I can't answer that.

I generally don't recommend Z6, there are better option if you want full frame, mainly Sony A7 III. Video processing of Z6 is far behind A7 III, autofocus as well, there is a lot of moiré, there are banding issues and so on.

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Nice video. I am not a fan of the camcorder style rear screen so if I was to switch, it would be for the XT3. It seems that for anything other than extreme professional usage, this camera line has it all, from ease of use and ergonomics to lens selection, within the APSC envelope. I am not a fan of the Fuji/Sony menu system. Too complex for me. Canon and to some extent Nikon do a much better job of this. It remains to be seen if Fuji can sell enough cameras and lens to justify staying in business. That is the only risk in my opinion. You really seem to like the camera and that is a good recommendation in itself. Stay safe.

Why do people complain so much about the rotating screen? You can’t argue that it goes against the “vintage style” but that a regular, non-flip LCD doesn’t. Vintage cameras did not have screens at all and no one complained that the previous X-T cameras all had LCDs…

[@AjoGarang]

I’m happy with my X-H1.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

That damn flippy screen is stopping me upgrading. Damn videographers obsession with filming themselves has ruined a great photography camera.

No it isn’t, that creates a new problem of not having a tilting screen. Rotating screen has no advantages over tilting screen unless you are filming yourself. It has nothing to do with age.

[@wickie4801]

Think it actually is the best APSC. I'm not in the Fuji system for some reasons. Fuji is doing well: hearing what people want. So they are strong involved in APSC. Hope they survive. Think there are only Sony and Canon in future - others are in a niche, some die like Olympus and struggle like Nikon. Pentax... who is Pentax...oh yes they are in the niche of a niche with DSLR anachronism. So good luck to Fuji.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Fujifilm is definitely the third safest brand and the moment. They have their niche and relatively lean organizational structure, so I am not worried about Fujifilm’s future.

[@TECHNIKMM]

Awesome Video! I just don’t get why you are so hung up on the screen being flippy and that for not matching the “vintage” style. As long as it’s not flipped out you wouldn’t even know if the screen is flippable or not? But having the option to do so when needed is ALWAYS good. It would be an absolut embarrassment for Fuji NOT giving the camera a flip screen in this prize range:)

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you! It is explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oojdnIR7h5dkiKc 2-way tilting screen (from X-T3) is a much better choice for a camera such this one. Rotating screens belong on camcorders, X-T4 isn't one.

[@Optidorf]

Very good and comprehensive video! Since the introduction of the X-T4 there's a suprisingly amount of backlash against the camera despite a number of improvements such as the IBIS and new battery. Two points are always repeated: the autofocus and the price. I can't say anything about the autofocus, but I can understand the price issue when you see that the new Nikon Z5 is released for a price below the X-T4. I'm a stills shooter and I'll stay with my X-T2 for the moment. When it comes to image quality there isn't a significant improvement over the previous generation of sensors.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you! I haven't heard any complaints about the price whatsoever. $200 increase for IBIS, larger battery and other improvements is more than acceptable IMO. Feature set of the X-T4 is much better in comparison with Z5, which has larger sensor, but it is an entry level camera in all other aspects. There definitely is a significant improvement in image quality between X-Trans 3 and X-Trans 4. Dynamic range and ISO performance is much superior on X-Trans 4, due to latest BSI technology. All of the de-mozaique issues were also fixed with X-trans 4.

[@TheHybridShooter]

@Me Myself No, both use the same but X-processor 4.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Flippy screen is right for x-t.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I don’t think so.

[@fredriksvard2603]

@@TheHybridShooter I know you don't, the market disagrees though. Personally i wouldn't have bought it without the flippy screen.

[@TheHybridShooter]

How do you that the market disagrees? A lot of people haven’t bought it because of the rotating screen, according to the comments.

[@PhillipYewTree]

“A couple of months” qualifies as a long term review !!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Yes

[@poudrieres]

It was the steep price hike over the X-T3 that scared me away from this camera. We will see if Fuji ever makes an X-T5 with a tilt screen.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I don't think 200€ over X-T3 launch price is a steep hike. Especially with IBIS and new battery.

[@poudrieres]

@@TheHybridShooter The X-T4 was released at CHF 1'999,- in Switzerland - and only now it has dropped to 1'710,- which is still more than the US release price of $1699. I have picked up a new X-T3 for 1'006,- shortly after the X-T4 release.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I understand, but Switzerland is a specific market, so you can't really judge global prices based on that. US prices also don't include VAT.

[@poudrieres]

The Hybrid Shooter Very specific indeed . But usually consumer electronics are cheaper in Switzerland as in surrounding countries as we enjoy a far lower VAT and nobody lobbies for import taxes on this kind of goods.

[@TheHybridShooter]

Nevertheless, the increase of price in the rest of the world was very acceptable IMO.

[@sabamacx]

Native lenses are a bargain compared to the equivalent full frame offerings.

[@TheHybridShooter]

I don't think so to be honest. If we take the equivalency into account, a lot of FF lenses are much cheaper. Fuji makes some great lenses but I wouldn't say that they are particularly budget friendly.

[@YanFries]

Fuji 56 F1.2 is more expensive than Sony 85 F1.8. Even more than the RF 85 F2. RF 35 1.8 cheaper than Fuji 23 1.4. RF 24-105 cheaper than Fuji 16-55 2.8.

[@galaxystars6409]

U are just too old for a flippy screen.... go to the xt3, if u want a vintage film cam go get on on ebay, don't complain about innovation, its not just u that will use it, they added it for the ppl that requested it, not to menti3u can get more angles🤫

[@TheHybridShooter]

It has nothing to do with age or innovation. Rotating screen is 90' technology and has a lot of disadvantages as I explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oojdnIR7h5dkiKc Rotating screens are being forced on every camera by "loud" vloggers. Tilting screen is still more useful and practical for majority of users.

[@MatthiasHaltenhof]

I really like your down to earth reviews and comparisons. Keep it up!

[@TheHybridShooter]

Thank you, I will do my best to keep it up!
