X-T4 :: Fujifilm's BEST X Series Camera yet!!!

[@clearz3600]

Can't wait until the X-T6 comes out so I can finally afford this.

[@DimplePoji]

Lol!!!! I know how u feel!!!

[@dennisrkb]

[@AdamBuker]

Maybe I can finally afford an X-T2 now...

[@davidhenderson5051]

@clearz... yep.... I'm with you brother.

[@yougotkicked]

As someone who found the XT-3 so compelling that I switched camera systems for it, I am extremely excited by this camera. Not only does this camera offer features that I was hoping for, it demonstrates to me that I bet on the right horse when I moved to Fuji from Nikon. Fuji listens to their customers in a way other companies just don't, and that makes me really happy to have invested in their system.

[@yougotkicked]

@Ms Jemini I'm thinking of selling my xt3 on eBay so I can upgrade, it'll still be pricey, but I'm really excited about this camera

[@jamestonbellajo]

@IStripesIso did you end up getting an X-T5? Looks like it checks all the boxes for you.

[@ManeeshSaxena]

which camera and lens are you using at 7:08 ? is it sony RX100 VII ? liked the footage :)

[@Nanou197373]

I've just pre-ordered it today. I've so far had a great experience with the X-E3 (just like you Ted), and I thought this would be a nice upgrade for improving battery life, AF performance and the benefit of having inbody stabilisation. I've had the chance to test it yesterday, and it felt really good, so I took the plunge. I'm not that fussed about having a full frame camera, but as I do a lot of low light and action shots, I think it will be a camera I'll keep for some time to come. I'll let you know when I finally get my camera :) Great day x

[@stevengoossen6019]

Just when I had my mind made up on a A6600, I watch your smile and how much you like the X-T4. Tomorrow is going to be rough, i’ll have to decide whether I can afford it. Great review.

You are the best at reviewing cameras without a doubt. Great pitch, good timing, you know exactly what to say and not say about the camera creatively and politically. You don't joke around or mess around and you capture the audience... Good job, it makes me want one right now, the question is how long is the wait in line going to be for this prize winning beauty. Love the fact that the screen flips around to a no screen and makes it look like my old film cameras. Keep up the great work arrr kid :)

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks! Great video. I’d like to see examples of shooting video with Eterna + different shadow, highlight, saturation settings to make “in camera grading profiles”. Also what does HDR mean in terms of video? Extended dynamic range? Is it like HLG? Do overexposed LED lights retain its colour when over exposed (like on many new cameras and phones) or does it just go white? Is the h.265 codec changed and easier to edit, or still heavy on the computer? Is there still a 30 minute recording limit?

[@dinagalall]

[@tyyoung8886]

Picked up a slightly used x-t3 last month as my first Fuji camera, and I AM IN LOVE! The X-T3 will last me a couple of years without a doubt, so I can not wait to pick this up in a few years.

[@akarimi]

What camera you are using for this video. Perfect focus and stabilization... in the vlog scene Thank you for the video 👍🏼

[@multireel7590]

For the full review please test the built in audio pre-amps. You don't have to go all scientific, just plugin a (good quality) mic and record some voice over. Leave a few seconds silence at the end (make sure the room you're in is quiet) This way it's easy to hear how noisy or clean the pre-amps are. If you can compare to a budget audio recorder, that would be even better. Thnx for the overview and looking forward to the full review!

[@joepun7275]

What do you use to shoot your video? Super clear

[@RichardBarleyphoto]

Great real world review thank you. I owned the original Xt1 and photographed about twenty weddings with it before returning to the Canon 5D. I am glad to see that Fujifilm have listened to their customers (as they always seem to) and produced one of the best cameras of 2020. When you showed the XT4 next to the XT3 I was surprised at the size difference. Thanks again for your excellent work, reviews take a lot of hard work.

[@grimacemcccheese]

I can't wait until budget opens up for this camera. It's perfect for me

[@ShinYoungNoh]

Omg Fuji are you kidding me... They literally fixed everything that I didn't like about the X-T3 and now I HAVE to get it

[@DonnieGQX]

You don't have your headphone port tho.

[@jamesbettanyphotography244]

This may be the next Fuji in my bag for handheld shooting... still going to wait and see what the x-h2 offers though, hopefully higher resolution with the x-t2 screen hinging for tripod shooting. I am glad that Fuji have advanced the x-t series, just wish they did two versions - a screen like this for vloggers/walk-arounders and a 3-way tilt screen for l bracket reliant precision work.

[@pont1907]

I wonder if which machine you shot this video with can I find out

[@chrismeetschris]

Hi, what camera are you using in the vlog sequences - gopro 8 or iphone? The stabilization / audio is really good. Sorry for the irrelevant comment lol. I’m probably going to update my x-h1 and x-t3 to the xt4... it basically answered every issue i have with both those cameras. Great video as always. Thanks!

[@louisevessey3839]

YES! I was right to be patient and skip the X-T3. Going from the X-T2 to the X-T4 is a great step up. Question tho. Do you think the larger form factor will help with balancing larger lenses so that the battery/vertical grip is not essential? Pre ordered my silver X-T4 today!

[@RS.Outdoors]

Can I ask what camera you used to film the video.

[@avarmadillo]

Ted, what camera did you shoot this video with? The colors/skin tones, shadow fall off, etc look great. I think I'd like the see what the slo-mo looks like---how sharp and clean is 4k 60p slowed to 30p, how good does the 240 1080p look, and what sort of crops are we looking at in slow mo. As a strictly video shooter those are things I'd love to know a bit more about. Sold my X-H1 in the expectation of this camera (though I really hoped it would be the X-H2..:-( But until that happens this will do for sure. I love shooting video on the APS-C sensor---for me, it yields the true cinematic look. Full frame---well, that the photographic look. They're both good--but in most cases I'll take the APS-C. Will definitely purchase the XT4 unless unforeseen situations preclude the possibility. Fuji rocks!

[@alexanderpons9246]

Oh wow it looks very nice! I love that the small play back screen can actually be blocked adding and even more film like look to it. Its great seeing how cameras are evolving. Thanks for loving Photography so much and share so much through your channel Ted Forbes!

[@tomscott4438]

I was using Fuji, but I sold it and went with a Canon R6. Great camera, but it's just not the same shooting experience. Now I'm thinking of going back, but I'm not wild about the X-T5 or the more video-centric X-H series My quest now is to locate an X-T4, especially because it (unlike the T5) has a fully articulating screen. I don't shoot video, and honestly, I don't shoot much with the LCD. What I like about it, is that you can flip it around and hide it. Makes it easier to use the EVF (my preference) without pressing your nose into the LCD.

[@gharawala]

[@babyboy1971]

Having a hard time deciding between this (XT4) and an XPRO3. Currently shooting on the XT3 and the X100V. I love both, but I feel like I want a new main camera body. I shoot studio portraits and natural light headshots. Occasionally I shoot editorial style environmental portraits of working artists. Really can’t decide between this and the XPRO. I love the XT3, but also love the rangefinder style of the X100. Likely won’t do video on the XT4, for vlogging I use a Sony ZV1. Any thoughts appreciated!

[@paja13]

5:30 Do you know about Olympus IBIS? You can hold like 4 secs like nothing...this is not extreme at all :)

[@myeates1418]

How does the new Fujifilm X-T4 compare vs the Sony A7 III and even the Panasonic G9 with the updated firmware for colour science, video, image stabilization, controls and ergonomics?

[@timothylinn]

I’m a little surprised that you failed to recognize and acknowledge the trade-off that the flippy screen represents for those who like to shoot discreetly on the street. For the way I shoot, the previous design was much more useful.

[@bobhanuman65]

X pro 3 rocks for street

[@timothylinn]

@@bobhanuman65 I can understand the appeal of the X-Pro3 to some street shooters. Certainly, the users who love that screen design love it _passionately_ . For me, the screen is a deal killer and, even if it weren't, the X-Pro3 is not as broadly versatile as the X-T body style so it is not a substitute for an X-T body with the three-way tilt design. It doesn't seem impossible for Fuji to take the X-T3's LCD design and mount it on an articulating plate to address all shooting styles though there will no doubt be a contingent who would argue against that as being too complicated. Ted would seem to fall into that camp. It's an argument along the lines of "I don't shoot video so cameras shouldn't have that capability" or "I never shoot color so why can't Fuji make the [insert body of choice] monochrome only?"

[@bobhanuman65]

Timothy Linn I shoot monochrome jpgs with raw on the second card. Flipping down the screen is like an old box camera. I did a studio shoot last week with the optical viewfinder and it worked out great.

[@timothylinn]

@@bobhanuman65 Sounds like the X-Pro3 is a great fit for you, Bob. I shoot most often with the four Red Badge zooms so I'd actually be more likely to buy it if Fuji removed the OVF. :-) On a totally unrelated note, I was previously going to comment on the fact that your last name is also the name of an Indian deity that plays a prominent role in the Ramayana...but now I see from your avatar that this wouldn't have been new information. Happy Holi!

[@bobhanuman65]

Timothy Linn I own a yoga center. And do all the Photography. I decided about a year and a half ago that I was going to get decent at portraits and studio lighting and have been focused on that. I also have a a7riii and 4 very good lenses and keep rolling around in my head if I should sell all of it but can’t pull the trigger at this point sigh.

What lens do you have in the video? Interesting lens cap. I was ho hum about the X-T4 until watching this. Nice one. I don’t shoot video although I wish I had an excuse to. I did get a gimbal not long ago because my company needed a video quickly. Using a gimbal plus setting up all the video settings only to have to put them back to the original settings was a pain. Looks like Fuji’s changes solved this, although a suppose a gimbal is still useful sometimes. I’ll probably wait for the X-T5. The X-T3 is still amazing for me. I hope the X-T5 will have a next-generation sensor.

[@larsgibbon3327]

Looking forward to the full review. How does the picture quality compare with the X-T3 when shot under the same condition?

[@pokebrother2330]

I think that there wont be that of a big difference in quality, the improvements will he more seen in video. I dont know though how the ibis will affect the stills you take , it will be easier on lower shutter speeds I guess. Menus are easier now you have a stils or video only mode...

[@DsRockGuitar]

Great camera but not time to upgrade yet I guess... I work with photography only and I`ll wait a little bit more for a new sensor.

[@anandsonkar]

@ 3:34 your X-T4 is Made in Japan tag, while a lot of customers are getting in Made in China.

[@Photographicelements]

How much can you crop an image, without loss in quality? I know it's not Full-Frame, but sometimes, at an event or in a hectic situation, you need to crop. How fast is the autofocus? Is it faster than the XT3? Can it keep up with 15fps/ every frame in focus? For casual shooting, I take my time and enjoy the photography process, but for production work, sometimes, you just have to rely on the camera. I'm extremely impressed with this camera!

[@kornofilo]

[@TerraMagnus]

I love my X-T2 and X100F. I bought the X-Pro3 and it's not the camera for me. Not convinced that the X100V is, either. X-T4 kept the D-pad! I know it sounds silly, but this is one of the things I really miss on the X-Pro3.

[@rcfreakamit]

For sure a larger grip is a welcome change. With all admiration to retro style, the XT-3 is simply impossible to shoot one-handed. Also the front and back control dials on the XT-3 aren't grippy enough IMHO. I wonder whether this would improve with the XT-4. Thanks for the review!

[@stevecrozet306]

Thanks Ted. Your preview/reviews are always informative. I would love both the X100v and xt4!

I'm looking for a great camera for video. I though this was the one but I've seen some of the footage and one of the biggest thing on this cam is the IBIS and the other big one over the XT3 is the battery but again I'm thinking IBIS, not really impressed with the IBIS performance in video.

[@jrynedanielson]

I just don't like the flip screen. It's clumsier, off axis from the lens, and it makes the camera twice as wide when flipped out. I understand wanting it for video, but I don't shoot video. The XT-3's main appeal over the competition is its ergonomics and tactile controls, so something that throws off years of muscle memory is off-putting for me. That said, I'd learn to deal with it if it seemed like a substantial upgrade. But it doesn't. IBIS is great, but my primary concern is subject motion not camera motion, so for me it's not essential. A larger battery would be nice, but I've got a couple spares, and I get plenty of shots before I have to change out. Everything else is just firmware. The X100V, on the other hand, is very tempting. But it's hard to justify when the XT-3 and 27mm pancake combo is already so small.
