With the introduction of the Fujifilm X-S20, should you be considering a used X-T4 or the newer hybrid camera in 2023?

Film director here. I use the XT-4 for main film pre-production. Why to buy other when this camera does it all ?..

I’ve owned X-T3s in the past and I agree that it’s an excellent performer and an exceptional value. After using an X-T4 for a year or so and a couple of years with an X100V and an X-Pro3 (which I still own) I recently re-purchased a pair of X-T4s for event still photography, because: * quieter shutter * battery life * IBIS (useful even for stills) * all of the film sims included in the X100V and X-Pro3 (I rely on certain JPEG recipes that are supported on all X-Trans IV-based models *except* the X-T3 and the 1st-gen X-T30.) I’m not ready for 40MP, but I do want the option of a battery grip, so, for now, the X-T4 is a better fit for me than the X-T5 (or the X-T3).

The X-S20 not having a dual card slot is a huge miss. Would’ve gotten it immediately if it did. Using X-T4 now though.

Yeah I must admit it’s one of the things I miss about my XT4. Thankfully I kept my XT3. I’d like an XT5s with all the improvements seen in the X-S20 but with the nicer body and dual card slots.

The flip out screen was / is a no no for many, myself I love the XT4 and for me the screen is idea. The XT5 is under real pressure now there is the 20 and for a decent saving. I plan to purchase another XT 4 when the price comes down ( a lot) but am in no rush as my ancient XT 1 still provide excellent service 😎

What would you say is a fair price that you are looking at?

I'm still using the X-T4 in 2024😅.Did you end up selling the X-T4 and getting the X-S20?
@davidthephotographer2 ай бұрын
I did. The X-S20 is great and is definitely better in several ways. The X-T4 is better built and has better ergonomics (for me). If you want a proper upgrade though, the XH2s is the way to go.
@oddittydotco2 ай бұрын
@@davidthephotographer Yes I hear the XH2s is great but I wonder if it would be a bit too big and heavy 🤔.

The X-T4 really frustrate me in term of stabilization for videos but it much better looking than the XS20, and also it is not weather sealed, so not really reliable if you are an adventure traveler. I would have got a X-T5 if it had a flip out screen... so I feel stuck with the X-T4 as I can't make my mind up...

which one did you end up getting?

I am still rocking my x-t4. Fuji sent me the XH2s to test, it was a beast. I’m going to get that one in a few months for sure!

What about autofocus in xt4, especially in tracking the subjects? Lots of people out there say it is good

Great video and work. Ive had 4 fuji cameras and various lenses and now I'm down to my X-Pro2 and the 35mm 1.4 and the 16mm 2.8. Lately I've been somewhat bored and uninspired by my kit. I've been toying with the idea of selling my existing system and get a Sony A7CII. Thanks to you Ive mitigated this sudden attack of GAS(Gear Acquisition Syndrome). While I may at some point go the Sony full frame route, I will not let go of my Fuji X-Pro2. Change my head and get back out there! I'm primarily a still photographer but would like to explore some video. I just picked up the X-T4 1015.00 USD. I want the IBIS and Better battery life. Recently added the 56mm 1.2 WR. In good for now. Thanks again

I bought two in the last few months :) I paid less for the two than the xt5 price. Still got the new battery, IBIS, okay autofocus.
@davidthephotographer11 ай бұрын
Amazing if you can get them that cheap. Still a great camera. Used prices locally are still strong so the jump up to the XS20 isn’t much. Having had my XS20 for a couple of months, I’m definitely happy with the upgrade and I still have an XT3.

saw your laowa review with your real estate fuji, noted you had sold your laowa for tt artisan, but would love to know, how do you cope with the interrior video shoot. what is the max ISO you use inside the house with your fujifilm XT4 (i know you also sold your xt4) Would really want to find out how is the ISO inside the interior shot, and what is the max ISO number to prevent video too grainy on presentation. any chance to share the info. Thank you

For only photos and jpegs what is your choice between X-T2 and 3 ?
@davidthephotographer4 ай бұрын
I haven’t used the XT2 myself so hard to say but I imagine the difference is fairly minimal. I think cost will be the main decider. I love my XT3 though so I can definitely recommend it.

Unfortunately the X-s20 doesn't have weather sealing, and only has one card slot.
@davidthephotographer4 ай бұрын
These are the two biggest issues I have with my XS20.

I already own one! So I don't have a choice!

I sold my sony a7iv with lens and switched to fuji xt4 in 2024 cos sony is too perfect and heavy for traveling. Mainly the lens are heavy and people use to stare at me at public places.
