Jack Black at home

[@TheMichiganShow]

Phenomenal. Came here to say the same!

[@RyanKemperinOhio]

LOL everyone’s thinking it.

[@melvinch]

He lost quite a bit of weight and acquired an European accent too.

[@Kingjay814]

I bought the X-T4 with the 16-55 f2.8 and I absolutely love this. Honestly every time I go out I fall in love with this camera all over again.

[@OwenL2020]

My favorite lens. It's on my camera all the time.

[@PalleSchultz]

That combination of lens and camera is very strong. Har to think of anything that can beat it as an overall workhorse.

[@gigamoment]

I wish I can buy this combo soon

[@SaddamHussain-rx8rh]

Is that full frame mirrorless camera and lens?????

[@augustuswright8541]

Positively the best take on a camera review I've ever watched. Nothing much more to say...

[@sanfayyaad]

Man, this is the most unique review I've watched. Your perspective on things is fascinating.

[@maruwaanmoses]

Cool video Palle. I'd love one where you take us through your camera set up process to achieve the look out of camera you want.

[@SHI-ts5cl]

Your videos and advice holds such a great value. Thank you. 🙏

[@garymanning4578]

The finest camera review I have ever watched. I love your logic and style and your vision mirrors my own. I have owned, over the last 50 years, some fabulous equipment including using large format and every sensor size. Have come up through the Fuji XT range but had to buy this camera for the ibis (old shaky hands! ) Now I can go back to primes and of course for the battery + Classic Neg. But I found this the finest camera I have ever handled. The shutter is fantastic. The ergonomics for me are superb and the results of whatever magic they have done with the software are quite a jump from my X-T3. The flippy screen I can live with. Glue a 56mm f1.2 on the front and the balance is perfect. Then you Palle for your great work.

[@deafno]

Yeah, the presentation of example footage and stills are extremely good. Big contrast to another review I watched in 1080p.

[@ArminHirmer]

Now thats a review, I could listen to Palle for days :D

[@robowen3450]

Hi Palle, I’ve just switched from a Sony A6600 to a used XT-4 and despite having watched what I thought was every possible KZbin video it was only today I found this one. Really interesting and excellent video, you have a new subscriber. One thing that stood out to me was your message that we should do what suits us individually and after 5 years or so with photography I no longer concern myself with having to shoot in raw and editing endlessly. Thank you so much, I’m now going to watch the rest of your content.

[@pixelgenau2982]

That‘s what it is about using a Fuji camera. Pure passion and love for photography!

[@MyRay101]

Hi Palle. Great video on the X-T4! I received mine 2 weeks ago and still getting my head around it. However, I can now see the benefit of having the new function of switching from stills to video - I am a stills photographer, but now seeing how straight forward it is to use video on the X-T4, it has inspired me to try it out!

[@marcbowen5559]

First time I've seen one of your reviews and it was excellent. Refreshing to get a perspective from someone who is actually a good photographer and has a long history with the medium. I have a XT-2 and will be adding a XT-4. These are the only cameras that retain the experience and ergonomics of the Nikon FM's I shot back in the day and that continuum makes using them a real pleasure. The fact that Fuji's optics are so good is a huge bonus. Thanks!

[@herbertmasing]

Wondering if the introduction of Nikon Zf is gonna change your gear choices.

[@oc2phish07]

As always Palle, it makes perfect sense. Great little video and I have now added an X-T4 to my own kit.

[@gretschky]

This video was beautiful! I really genuinely enjoyed this and I watch a lot of camera reviews. It was just very peaceful and calm. A good love letter to a camera you're so keenly into. I've got an x100V for fun and an xpro2 that I shoot my product for and have been on the fence about upgrading to do video for my new site I'm putting up and I think this has absolutely got me convinced. Thank you. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel.

[@chepo1956]

Hello Palle, Jose from Puerto Rico. Wonderful review. Down to Earth and simple and just going to the point.

[@nostalgicspoilers8947]

I have already seen this one over at the Fujifilm channel but I don't mind giving it a second viewing :) much love from Argentina, Palle!

[@PalleSchultz]

Thanks :)

[@joshuamiller5701]

Such a down to earth, informative and artistic review of the x-T4.

[@RandyPollock]

Palle - compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others (also the definition of Charisma) ...nice video on the X-T4

[@lindaashby4304]

I am now going to watch your other videos. This was so helpful and informative. I can read tech specs anywhere. What I can't usually find is someone's view on how a camera feels in use, why it might work in your photography life, why you might love it. Until this review. Thank you!

[@billycullen6832]

Superb! Love your material, and always beautifully presented! Thank you so much!

[@speckundme]

Palle, this video was so inspiring, honest and personal! Thank you so much. You helped me a lot. I am trying to decide between the X-Pro3 and the X-T4, I actually tend towards the X-Pro line - as I am more in stills. The only thing is the IBIS the X-Pro3 is missing. It would help my shaky old hands and my continuous nervousness to calm down. Thank you a lot and take care.

[@dandascenzomastering6689]

Enjoying every second of this video (and the previous one as well). I switched recently to Fuji with the XT-4 and I completely agree with you. I love it, and totally aligned with my way to work as well. Like you, I still use analog gear for my mastering and mixing engineering purposes, though I'm computer fan too.. And this camera goes in the same direction for my needs and how I see photography and videography. I would love to know more about your tweaking that you use with the film simulations.. I really love your pictures (IG). Thank you for this lovely video! Cheers!

[@HandballMr]

This is such an inspiring review in every aspect. I don’t even like to call it review.. You’re thoughts are on point and I can really relate. Thanks!

[@Kiite702]

Well this absolutely convinced me. Thank you for the wonderful explanation of the capabilities of this camera and best of luck in the future.

[@JohnJordache]

Gorgeous short clips and images… the color tones are just… astounding. Thank you Sir for this sharing 😌

[@hanslamal5632]

Just found your channel today... Great style, combination of interesting information and art, nice music, calming atmosphere... Subbed! 👍

[@karlnewholmphotography3296]

Excellent video. I have one on order. The main reason that I am upgrading from the XT2 is that ability to quickly switch back between stills and video. Thank you very much.

[@epv221]

The AWB tip was very handy. You have a soothing and informative style - much appreciated. By the way, maybe your green eye is jealous of its brother.

[@OwenL2020]

The only videos I don't want on 1.5x speed. Palle is like a pair of slippers and a hot tea on a snowy day.

[@Wolf-6567]

Excellent review, your passion for your photography and the tools you use to create, really make this stand out. Thank you,subbed and liked :)

[@jbergcosta]

Hi, after spending a long long time looking for information about this camera, I found your valuable video, in a very humble and honest way you have shown me everything I needed to know, thanks a lot Palle. By the way you have a new subscriber.

[@MrKrecke]

I have been watching a lot of videos about fuji XTs these couple weeks, coz I'm very keen to buying one. This is without a doubt the best review I have seen. You have captured what Fuji cameras are all about...Well done.

[@debbysuojaostlund9964]

Wonderful video, Palle. I've just gone from Nikon dSLR to Fuji mirrorless with the X-T4 and have only had it 4 days! I'm a little (a lot?) frustrated so was looking around on KZbin and found you and this video. Very helpful, thank you! All the best.

[@degriff]

Palle, you have been our Fuji guru since we first met on youtube, thank you :-)

[@johnmorgan2677]

Love your intelligent, logical analysis. Thank you.

[@VizionZine]

Really like your channel. My style of photography and video is completely different but I love listening and watching you do your thing. Big fan.

[@rohitash4122]

Thanks for this nice review. I am planning to buy this camera and was checking few videos on it and found your video.

[@zaplig]

By far the best and most practical Fuji x-t4 review (with your previous video) I saw so far. This camera made me sell all my Canon stuff and switch to Fuji. Eager to see more 😀

[@amateurphotographer1096]

Best review of x-t4 i have seen so far. Looking at upgrading my xt2.

[@DailyFrankPeter]

Just came across this channel... and this feels part like a camera review and part like an interview with a great artist. :D

[@MariNate1016]

Got the X-T4, 16-55, 8-16 and 50-140 along with the battery grip. Can’t wait to be able to go out and travel with this.

[@cosmoganic]

Thanks for the video man' I really enjoyed your refreshingly down to earth approach to reviewing the camera. I love my XT4, Its a soul machine. Greetings from the Sunshine Coast, Australia

[@PalleSchultz]

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

[@ClassicPolly]

That video to stills mode is such a game changer. Unfortunately I do not own the XT-4 but really hope that from here on out more camera models will have this seamless flip switch between modes. Watched the video from start to end and loved every minute of it, a very balanced and thought through approach ^^

[@JayGrapherTh]

great video :) i'll rewatch your previous videos again but im wondering if you have tips about setting the right AF settings for video to have a smooth more natural focusing feel or maybe it comes down to the lens more? i think all thats left at least in the near future / right now is to update their lens for better AF mechanics.

[@Bob-ls7uf]

This has to be the most enjoyable in-depth review of the X-t4 I have seen. Great video sir. :-)

[@SpeckyBhoy]

Great insight - thanks, Palle!

[@mrobitwice77]

omg. ive been on the fence for weeks on whether to buy the X-T4 or sony a7s and equivalents, but this guy just sold me. Damn, such a detailed and down to earth review!! now I gotta pick between the all black or the retro silver top.

[@cryptodawk]

Hey Palle, i have watched your video a few times now, i really enjoy your presentation. By far this is the best review on youtube for any camera. Honest, and true. Also you featured one of my favorite people out there: Chilli Klaus himself.. A big hot pepper fan here. Grow many of my own hottest reapers that i turn into sauce to give to people (I dont like haha). Anyways thanks for the amazing content.

[@tantographics3549]

It was great knowing the stills in your video were jpeg images rather than raw and that the camera is like a computer. A good way of understanding this complex camera.

[@chasingnatureslight5362]

You most likely helped Fuji sell the X-T4 to me! I was rather skeptical, but your review is so heart-felt, like you’re describing the camera from your heart, and I can see why you genuinely like this camera! Great review!!

[@robin14441]

Wow, you transmit so much emotions. It's almost frightening. Good job and thank you :)

[@abalavam]

This review was so genuine, your voice and the way you address you audience made me feel you were actually talking to me in person. Loved the interlude at 7:20 as well. I was in a dilemma between the XT-4 and a Sony A7iii, but now I am convinced.

[@zerospecs2331]

I'm in the same boat lol. Did you get the XT4?

[@abalavam]

@@zerospecs2331 I decided to invest on both the Sony and a Fuji, but not the XT-4 (got an X-T30 instead), do not regret it at all. The reason? The A7III has a lot of third party lens options (both brands and focal lengths), while the fuji not so much.. plus here where I live fuji prices are inflated. Besides lens options I thought it was a better idea because it was full-frame... however, in practice, I have observed much less noise on the fuji at high ISOs, HOWEVER the Sony still blows my mind whenever I want to recover shadows. If you want a PRO hybrid camera I'd prefer the Sony, although I have to admit, shooting with the Fuji is a more enjoyable experience because it feels like an actual camera and not a machine that takes photographs and video. Don't get me wrong, I love both cameras, but honestly I wish there were more less expensive full-frame cameras in the fujifilm lineup. I hope this won't make you more insecure about your decision 😅

[@bill3117]

If I could push the "thumbs up" icon 10 times I would. Thank you for such a great run down on this camera. I never would have thought how easy it would be to go from stills, to video and keep separate settings preserved! Does the XH-1 have this capability? I love your JPEG vs. RAW shooting philosophy. Great picture and video examples! Thank you so very much from a fellow Apple/Fujifilm lover!

[@PalleSchultz]

The X-T4 is the first Fuji that have divided the experience so effectively.

[@trkx444]

Nice work and good insight. Appreciate if you could make more similar videos involving XT-4 functionality (to understand its hefty price tag) from both videographer and photographer's standpoint. Like your black and white photos; did you use Fujifilm's standard film simulation modes or were they achieved in post? Which lens did you use for the portrait of the man? (9.43) Spot on.👍

[@zh0ck]

I'm sold, I want this camera. You could make anyone buy this camera, so frikking smooooth.

[@jerrycasier6224]

Great video P. Is there still a need to buy OIS lenses for the XT4?

[@samla2404]

thank you for the confidence inspiring video about the fuji xt4 - very solid and informative vid.

[@brianzoowab]

I so much agree with your approach on the jpeg vs raw idea. Still trying to decide if I really need this upgrade over the XT2 though... should I?

[@mbottambotta]

Lovely video, thanks for sharing. Which camera works better for you - the X-T4 or the X-Pro3?

[@craigcarlson4022]

Palle, Just came across your channel. Appreciate all your thoughts in this review. Can i ask where you got the T-Shirt you are wearing during filming this? Thanks, Craig

[@joemann2178]

I have an XT-1 and I am looking to upgrade, this one has got my interest now. It looks good too.

I’ve been considering my options in replacing my om-d since Olympus sold off its photographic department. This video pretty much sealed the x-t4 for me. Subscribed!!! 👍🖖🙏✌️ (Edit) Thankful for the beautiful Danish countryside photos.

[@akhilraj07]

so pleasant to listen to an expert like you with great experience sharing. Thank you.

[@Paulyman73]

Any thoughts on the lenses that come with the two kits. The f/2.8 18-55 versus the f/4 16-80mm?

[@carlosdias1940]

Hello Palle, big fan of your work and how 'on Earth' this video skipped my attention! Brilliant! Cheers

[@TechPlatter]

I started watching your videos today only and already in love with your approach. You should give away this XT-4 (to me :D ) love your content

[@t.n.4177]

That’s such an inspiring video. I was already up to buy the Fuji X-T3 instead of X-T4 due to the display and my lack of need for a video camera…

[@clivemossmoon3611]

Beautiful picture at 10:00. Is that film-like grain from high ISO? Reminds me of my D700.

[@AlsRides]

That was a lovely video! Just out of interest, what are your favourite lenses from Fuji?

[@EDHBlvd]

Great video Palle. I just bought an X-T4 to replace my X-H1 after 3 years.

[@alexp7076]

Amazing video! Can you share the settings you used to get those super dark & grainy photos?

[@gmcenroe]

I enjoyed your review of this camera that I have been looking at for some time. My old Nikon D300 which is still a decent camera but has no video is getting old. What attracted me to the XT-3 and XT-4 was going back to the older style dials that were on my old film cameras, but withe added simple switch from still to video even though I am new to that aspect of photography. I want to shoot landscape, outdoor and night photography with it. I will probably rent one before I buy. Thanks for your soft spoken description, just subscribed.

[@PalleSchultz]

Thanks Glenn. The "analog" interface, was also what made med switch to Fujifilm. It just makes sense. :)

[@magnusnordstrom9594]

When i watched this video, a few days ago, i decided that i want this camera. It feels interesting to try it out, tomorrow! Thanks Alot!

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

Nice review Palle - my budget has me two generations behind but yeah one nice camera and affordable for me in 2023.

[@jeison.schmidt]

Please help to solve one of my main problems... i have now the new xt4... I want to customize two different profiles to skip as I want... one of them 24 p/ 48ss to make the most of the shots... anda another 60p/ 120ss.to make the B rolls..... do you know how can i configure this?? Like canon and Panasonics... c1 and c2

[@rumporridge1]

Really great in depth video. In the process of trading in my XT3, which I loved, for the new XT4. Can’t wait to get that bad boy in the wild.

[@rumporridge1]

@Coo Koo kept my XT3 bro. Changed my mind as I’m happy with my current kit and definitely didn’t need to “upgrade”. XT3 is perfect for stills.

[@rumporridge1]

@Coo Koo don’t need ibis for stills.

[@rumporridge1]

@Coo Koo your getting 50% more surface area in the Nikon full frame sensor. Plus the sale price is a can’t miss. So Nikon all the way.

[@rumporridge1]

@Coo Koo enjoy my friend. And keep shooting.

[@stevendelopoulos]

Hey Palle ! Great video as always . I own the xt2 and loving it . Wish 4K didn’t crop but you can’t have it all . Thinking of upgrading to xt4 , I am a musician who makes videos for promoting my music . Any thoughts ? Cheers and stay safe !

[@root9065]

This is a brilliant channel you've got here sir, I've subscribed. I have the X-T4 with the 18-55mm zoom and you've motivated me to grab the camera at 1AM and fiddle with the controls :) so far no one has managed to do that. May I ask what music did you use here - 7:28 - I'm a music nerd too, you see. Godspeed.

[@PalleSchultz]

I wrote and recorded it myself. Thanks for your kindness.

[@artpertures860]

Very nice colors in your video, a jpeg question when you talk/ use, pro neg standard or chrome do you keep your shadow settings, mostly at 0? As you hope fuji bring some improvements over the previous models (the possibility to save a custom wba in the custom profiles on the last models, is to me a game changer, something I wish the x-t3 and 30 could get too as on the x-t4)

[@PalleSchultz]

With the higher contrast ones, I try to soften it a bit. But doing black and white it is the opposite. Neg Pro standard I also adjust to mood and circumstances. I prefer Eterna to Classic Chrome.

[@Kaleil]

Great video, Palle and a big factor in why I decided to go for the X-T4 over some other cameras.

[@Kaleil]

@Coo Koo X-T4 mainly has the IBIS over the X-T3, so for photography only I would have gone with the X-t3, if I still wanted to do a little video. If no video at all, I would have bought the Xpro-3

[@sapphirephoenix75]

You’re AMAZING, subbed!

[@tashihishey34]

Like the XT4, your ranting makes perfect sense. I'd always wanted to buy the Leica M9 for its colour output but the camera has long since been discontinued. Now I can see the Leica M9 colours at 8:51 with Fujifilm's colour simulations. I look forward to buying the XT4. Thank you for your Kaizen approach, for introducing new functionalties to older people like me.

[@LovegroveTraining]

Really lovely video Palle. Fabulous!

[@momentsofframe]

Thanks! Bought this camera and use it with my 16mm, 56mm, 16-55mm and Sirui 50mm. But right now I'm thinking of 'strip it back' and go for the MKX 18-55mm. Saw your video about that. What do you think: can I use that lens for weddings. Weddings is of course a lot of 'run and gun' and shoot without tripods. The thing is: I'm a Fuji addict, so I try to get the best out of my X-T4 (instead of buying BMPCC) and a GFX is not that cheap if you want the 4k options ;) Please give me your thoughts: MKX or stick with XF lenses?

[@Kini_Wolfgang]

Your color grading is amazing.

[@Wizardbawlz]

holy shit this is a brilliant review. My xt4 arrives tomorrow. Extremely excited. (leaving Canon after 15 years)

[@Elazarko]

How are you liking your Fujifilm camera? Do you still own it? I can't seem to decide between the Canon R6 and Fujifilm xt4. I love the idea of switching to to Fujifilm from Canon (sl2/200d). Price, weight and the Awesome look! Though I don't want to be disappointed thinking I should have gone with the R6 instead of the xt4.. I mainly wonder the differences when printing big around 35-45cm

[@Wizardbawlz]

@@Elazarko Honestly the xt4 is the most fun i've ever had with a camera. Fuji colors are the best. The lens selection is fantastic and the body is weather resistant as well as lots of lenses. Hands down the best mirrorless crop sensor on the market.

[@farleycarl]

@@Elazarko did you choose Fujifilm in the end?

[@Elazarko]

@@farleycarl haven't made my mind yet. It's now actually between the Canon R6 and Sony A7 IV. I'm planning a trip to B&H Manhattan to try out the cameras in person.

[@farleycarl]

@@Elazarko Cool! Enjoy the process. I already have a Sony A7II but I just couldn’t get on with it. I’m sure it’s just me as it’s an amazing piece of kit. For an upgrade I’ve decided to go for an X-T4. It arrives today… Good luck with your kit, whatever you choose 👍

[@locker1964]

The quality of the XT series is already great, but I don't think the film simulations are that important anymore since I use Capture One. There I can check my RAF files with the different simulations and lighten the shadows a bit or intensify a color. Great that you made separate videos for pictures and video, because I don't use the video functions and not everybody is a blogger.

[@parmanduke]

I'm so glad I picked up the X T4 and it doesn't get bettern that the 16 55 f2.8 and the 90mm f2. I also have the 14mm, 23mm, 35mm f2s. Fujifilm is such a JOY to shoot with.

[@Mr.HarryPotter]

Hi: How come I cannot get the X-T4 to switch to Sports Mode in VIDEO by swiping to one of four directions? in STILLS I programmed the screen to swipe to SPORTS. In any Video format, it doesn't work. Thanks.

[@PalleSchultz]

Sports Finder mode doesn't work with electronic shutter. And therefore not in video mode.

[@GutoAmorim]

19:00 That feeling of the mechanic shutter, it's one of the thing I miss from my DSLR. And it's very difficult with the X100 because of the leaf shutter. I need that feedback from the camera otherwise I hesitate too much.
