I gave up on my Canon M50 and traded it in for a used X-T4, it was quite a bargain because it was rough around the edges, scratches here and there but technically flawless. But it's been almost a year since using it, in this time I've shot around 12.000 pictures and I love it. [...]
[...] I've considered the idea of picking up an used X-T4 but I'm worried that since it was pretty much bought as a hybrid camera by most users that most used copies will have seen heavy use. [...]
I absolutely adore my XT-4 and the 16-55 I had purchased with it. It is my first camera I have ever used tether shooting with as well and have found that a fun experience. I am definitely at an amateur level, but this camera is helping me quite a lot with enjoying my photography. With it being as easy to use and understand, I don't get so frustrated when all I want to do is take nice photos lol. Very happy Fuji XT-4 owner.
You can get the X-T4 relatively cheaply. Unlike the T3, it has a fully articulated screen and in-body image stabilization. I have the X-T4 and X-E3, both of which purchased used for much below the price of the newest models (about $800 each). [...] The E3 is my stripped-down pocketable camera; with the Fuji 27mm pancake lens, I can fit it in a jacket pocket or shoulder strap bag, and it weighs almost nothing, less than my iPhone. This combo is pretty much equivalent to the immensely popular X100IV, but much better value for money. The T4 is the bigger camera I use for nature and macro shooting. Tons of settings, more advanced features (focus bracketing and "picture in picture" focus closeup are important to me), more advanced dials. [...]
I have both the XT4 and the XH2. I’m still surprised that in 2024 these big cameras don’t have a built-in something that does gps and sets the time correctly. [...] And gps units are small and with many low power options. Super annoying when you’re traveling around across timezones and suddenly all your photos are in the wrong time zone if you didn’t update it. Or if there is daylight savings update… And for gps, even a ballpark 1km gps range would be better than nothing.
[...] I wouldn't be surprised if i use my X-T4 and 90 for portraits and sports/wildlife up close for many more years and I'm amazed how well the IBIS stabilises the lens for video (even when panning). [...]
[...] The X-T4 has been a life changer for me. [...] I love it for it's performance and the way it looks also makes you want to go out and shoot almost on a daily basis. Another thing that should be mentioned is that it's a great camera for sports/action/wildlife. [...]
[...] I don't shoot video preferring stills and I concur that the autofocus plus IBIS plus improved tracking are very worthwhile for me in what I like to do. I've had the XT4 for a couple of weeks now and notice improvements in all the areas I was looking for. I hope Fuji stays the course and ultimately can bring animal face detect into the picture like Sony has. [...]
[...] A great professional quality camera. I switched from FF Nikon to Fujifilm X and GFX cameras. I own XT4's and HX2's and a couple GFX's and haven't looked back. I love the XT4 and have used it for VOGUE, ELLE, NUMERO and GRAZIA magazine shoots and the output was wonderful. I particularly appreciate the firmware updates and the improvements in performance. [...]
A very worthwhile upgrade. [...] Specifically, IBIS with small primes, articulating screen, battery life, quiet shutter, larger grip and improved auto-focus. Not since my 2006 Pentax K10D (which had IBIS by the way) have I used a camera that has felt so refined and complete. [...] XT-4 + 23mm f/2: BACK TO BASICS 😁!!
[...] I really hope Fuji will bringt some of the x-t4 features as a firmware update to the x-t3. [...] I confess: I love tilt screens and I find flip out screens awkward to use 😂
And the Fuji XT3 just received a firmware update with better autofocus. Fuji always showing respect for their slightly older cameras with firmware updates when other brands have given up. I can’t wait to see what they do with firmware for the xt4 over the next year.
I agree that the fully articulating screen is fantastic and long overdue, as is the addition of IBIS. Have had cameras with those features for years, first in a Canon IS 3, then a Panasonic FZ1000M2, now finally the Fuji XT4...a fully articulating screen makes getting photos in odd locations so much easier, and IBIS allows shots you might otherwise not be able to get. This camera with the 16-80mm f4 lens is fantastic...also our old XC 50-230mm is a handy, light-weight, fun to use zoom (not weather-sealed, but nice reach...I think an xt20/xt30 (or xt200 maybe) with an 50-230mm zoom would make a good gift for a tween who only has a point and shoot but is developing an interest in photography.
I got the a6600 and love it, after carrying around a Canon 7Dmkii and a 200d for video, I'm a lot happier having one camera do both and my Camera bag only weighs 6.5kg. [...] The a6600 handles great too, point, focus and click the Sony is much faster than either of my two Canon DSLR's I don't want to go into a long post but its a great camera I would be happy with the Fuji too. I'm not hung up on brand loyalty whomever has the best camera to fill my needs gets the money.
The images you get out of this thing are insane and it is no slouch with video Camera Conspiracies recommended it a few videos ago, so it can’t be terrible 😂 FWIW I loved every minute I’ve spent with the XT4. And I am a Sony shill. Crying shame that the XS20 isn’t sealed and doesn’t have dual card slots as it is, for me, the most comfortable camera ever made for my hands!
I bought it in 2024. I watched many videos about sony, canon and other brands, but i fell in love with x-t4 look, bought it and never regretted it. This camera just fits with me, from its style (the photos and camera itself) to it's weight. [...]
I agree with 96% of that you said I'm an amateur photographer and the xt4 does it all for me it's possibilities seem endless I own an example of all the series 2 cameras xt 1 xe 2 x70 etc great cameras all but the xt4 does it all plus I paid only 1400 euros brand new a great bargain
[...] I have a quick question as I am looking to pick up a Fuji camera for dual purpose of video and photo shooting. Would you recommend the X-H1 (seems to be some good deals going on with the bundled battery grip) or the X-T4? [...] My go to is the GR3, but is looking for a camera that has more to offer for a wider range of photography and video shooting. [...]
[...] My daily driver (currently my only camera) is a Leica M10 with 50mm f/2 Summicron-M (Leitz Canada, 1979). [...] At today's prices, it's a screaming deal. Most of the X-T4's upgrades fall into the "nice to have" category for me. [...] I do prefer the fully-articulating screen: in my 60's, with both knees repaired and a back injury, I don't get into some positions as easily as I once did. Also, the fully-articulating screen is more useful if I do want to do video, and it's mechanically more robust as well. I’m not enamored of IBIS for stills, though I do see its value for video: it’s a feature best turned off until you need it, as Fujifilm’s chief explained a few years ago. The reason for the X-T3 is that I have a specific need for the 10-24 zoom range. Fujifilm's is $999 new, but it's a constant f/4: I consider variable-aperture zooms to be constant-aperture at whatever the long end is, since they don't stay at the wider aperture for long once you start to zoom in. [...] So glass and particular needs are my drivers in determining the value proposition for me.
I love my X-T4 too. The things I would change are: (1) swapping the AF ON and AEL buttons (which I have swapped in the settings). Makes much more intuitive sense to me to have the AF ON button close to the focus joystick. (2) swapping the playback and delete buttons. If the playback button is on the outside it is much easier to quickly pull up the photo if you want to check it without removing your eye from the view finder. (3) Adding two more custom assignable buttons to the front of the camera next to the grip. [...]
I wish you didn't use the ronin sc but instead more shots with the ibis and walking. [...] I am hesitating a little bit because Fuji lenses are more expensive than what other brands have.
I would love to have an X-T4 with the display mechanism of the X-T3. It's sturdy, flexible, and allows photos to be taken in sometimes challenging perspectives. The new display mechanism is fragile and always somehow in the way when it is opened. [...]
the last Fuji I owned was a Fujifilm Discovery 975 Zoom Panorama Point-and-Shoot 35mm Film Camera with 35-80 Zoom lens. I loved that Carma I gave it to my sister back in the 90's then i moved on to sonny camcorders and gopro's But I've all ways wanted to buy a new Fuji camera the x-t4 looks insane. But the price ouch hmm i will think about it
[...] So I've ordered an x-t4 to get an even better experience. [...] Let's see how the x-t4 behaves in my hand!
[...] Avid X-T3 user here and I recently rented and tested the X-T4. [...] Battery life is much better but most of us X-T3 users have accumulated batteries and adapted to using them. The screen and AF I think are where it's at. The AF is better but not world's better but that articulating screen is a saint.
Had the XT-2: I like the optics and the vintage feeling, but it slows my photography down. Fuji was not the right camera system for me. [...] So the new XT4 is very interesting because of the new features. [...]
I own the xt4 too, and a Sony A7RII and a Lumix GX9. [...] This week I bought a second hand 23 1.4 R... [...] My main problem with the xt4 is focusing, specially in video, but well, I guess I don't care that much about focusing anymore. What I really love is taking pictures that have something special about them, and for me the fuji is exactly that, it have "something" very difficut to explain to someone that don't have one. [...]
[...] I think the only thing I miss is watching you do dumb stuff hahaha like the HARDCORE camera reviews you used to do. Well u probably just dont have the time and the resources to do silly stuff and to destroy camera gear anymore. I still enjoy all the content you put out and trust your opinion when it comes to camera gear. Im thinking about buying the Fuji XT4 bc my XT2 is slowly loosing its willpower hahahah i problably spilled some shit over my camera but the Shutter and ISO dials are sometimes verrry sticky (most of the times they also move the Shuttermode dial below(witch is suuuuuper annoying)) sometimes the camera stops working at all hahaha. But a quick "Battery IN and OUT" fixes the issue. [...] You are making the hard decision easier for me to spend my money on something i already own (well not literally) but theoreticly its just a thingi that captures moments. [...]
[...] :D The XT-4 takes care of much of the focus engine improvements, the responsiveness and more are much improved. [...] The XH-1 had to be put on the give away price. [...] The XT-4 hit it out of the park. [...] The GH5 and alpha cameras, you aren't that far off. [...] I really like the flip out screen too. Why don't more cameras do it? [...] as you are in front of the camera. [...] The glass catalog could be bigger, and the lenses are expensive like Sony. Nikon and Canon has some good value lenses. [...] Though if the XT-4 drops in price used say in 5 or 6 years, I am good. [...] Plus other camera forms will evolve too. [...]
Maybe I sound too naive, but some of us like to do video without having the slightest intention of filming ourselves. Thus, the tiltable screen of the XT3 is a better choice. [...] I've had an XT3 for a few months now and it works wonderfully for my needs.
[...] The X-T4 doesn’t seem as worth it to me, even after watching this excellent review.
I thought long and hard about going for the X-T3 or the X-T4 as an upgrade from my X-T1. [...] As good as the IBIS is on the X-T4, for video at least, you can't match a dedicated powered gimble. For low light and stills, yes, I can see the advantages but again, I have OIS on a couple of lenses and two F1.4 lenses. [...] On the X-T4 they use that toggle for video or stills mode. [...] The flippy screen, less useful to me as a still shooter. [...] The bigger battery is actually a negative for me as I have several legacy 126 batteries. So battery life is not an issue for me and changing to the X-T4 would mean added costs. [...] Yes the X-T4 is a better camera, more modern, IBIS would be nice but internally from an image quality and focus system standpoint. [...] Brand new X-T3 with the Fuji leather half case and the Fuji battery grip. [...] Where as the X-T4 was some £1549 for just the camera. £400 less with accessories worth almost £400 on top. [...] It's basically half the price in real terms for a camera that takes the same quality photos and video outside of the IBIS and autofocus improvements. Which can be brought to the X-T3 with a firmware update (autofocus, not IBIS obviously). [...] I don't know because obviously if the X-T3 is 90% or more as capable as the X-T4 for a lot less money. It's going to hurt X-T4 sales and they need new s
I’ve been using this with a Fuji XT4 for last 2 years as webcam, working great. Though for stuff like google meet, I usually set it to 1080p 60fps since that’s the max res most meeting software will accept anyways, and frame rate is more important for live meeting than res.
I bought the fujifilm X-T4 more than 3 years ago, mainly for photos of my now 3 year old son. Less than 2 month from now and his brother will enter this world and now I could make an entire feature film 😆
The XT4 looks like being the camera of the year. [...]
I have an X-T3 but decided to pick up an X-T4... I am so happy I did. The new features and improvements are absolutely worth the price difference.
Wonderful video! I had the X-T4 on pre-order but then decided to go for the X-T3 instead. While I tried to do some videography, I find the editing too much work and in the end I enjoy some beautiful photographs from a trip a lot more than a so-and-so video.
Having owned the X-T30 in the past, I can say that's an outstanding image sensor. The best one I've used in a Fuji since the old X-Pro1. Lots of DR, good high ISO and color (talking about raw files with Adobe Lightroom).
I bought my first Fujifilm (X-T1) about 6 months ago and I am in love. Autofocus is a bit slow on my X-T1 so I might want to upgrade for the X-T4. [...]
[...] I’ll be selling the XH2 and a few lenses, but my XT4 is going to stay. The XT4 is one camera I’ll just never part with. [...]
[...] I got The XT 3 and sold it for a XPro 2 and a few lenses and then I got the XPro 3 the day it came out. [...]
Nice video! As a Canon cameras owner, I did consider the Canon EOS R and RP and also the Nikon Z6, but having been asked to cover some events (wedding ...), the dual-slot SD cards together with the great quality of Fujifilm lenses made me switch to the X-T4.
I own two of them, as well as a couple XH2's a X-E5 and two GFX large format cameras and I can say that the XT4 is a very capable and professional camera. Used for ELLE, VOGUE and Grazia magazines with no problem whatsoever.
16mm 2.8 23mm F2 35mm F2 50mm F2 sigma 56mm f 1.4 all very sharp from wide open quiet fast weather sealed I bought the sigma new and all the Fuji's 2nd hand very good build quality on all
[...] I got mine 20% off about a month ago. IBIS definitely makes it worth the purchase over xt3 (especially if you’re shooting anamorphic with no gimbal)
I’ve got both the a6600 and XT-4. Auto focus on the Sony is fantastic, but that’s the only advantage of the Sony. For photography I always use the X-T4.
I would love an xt4 to go with my 16-55. I end up using the 18-55 or 10-24 with my xt20 just for hybrid shooting, but the xt4 will be my future. Hopefully sooner than later
Still waiting for Sony to produce their version of the XT4 because I already have some lenses. the a6600 just isn't enough to upgrade to in my book. I need at least a new sensor to upgrade my 6300
[...] Panasonic G9 vs Fujifilm XT-4 ?!?! [...] Especially regarding not only specs but available /best lenses and prices!
I have a Smallrig L Bracket on my a6600 which improves handling a lot. Never tried Fuji cameras but I'd love to take the XT-4 for a test drive. Not Sony enough 😂😂😂
