FUJIFILM X-T4 Reviews
The Very Good, The Somewhat Bad and The Really Ugly
I have had my Fujifilm X-T4 for several months now and wanted to give my impressions of the camera both positive and negative. High points for me are the in-body stabilization and the large eye-level viewfinder. The main low point is the so called, fully articulated monitor screen. I love the in-body stabilization. At first I did not realize that when using lenses that have in-lens stabilization, you have to turn the switch (on the lens), to the on position for the in-body stabilization to function. Some how the two work together I guess. It is really helpful to have in-body stabilization for lenses that do not have it built-in. Also it's great for hand held video shooting. Either way, it works well and it is a welcomed feature. The other feature of this camera I really like is the large eye-level viewfinder. It reminds me of the viewfinders in my old Nikon (FM and FE) film cameras, big and bright. I have never understood why cameras like my Nikon D750 have such small viewfinders. The full frame D750 viewfinder is like looking through a tunnel compared to the viewfinder of the APS-C Fujifilm X-T4. Other features of the X-T4 that I like are the old school layout of the controls and that the camera is just the right size and weight for me. I don't feel that the Fujifilm X-T4 focuses as quickly or as positively as my Nikon D750. It's not something I have tested side by side, it's just a feeling I have when using one or the other. I am not sure why this is, but no camera I have had since my Nikon D700 handles highlights and contrast as well as that camera did. Maybe it was the fact that camera was full frame and only 12 MP. I never had to worry about blown out highlights with the D700. I got that camera in 2007 and for the first four years I was shooting jpegs before switching to RAW, and I always got great results. I used that camera for at least 10 years. With my Nikon D750, my Fujifilm X-T20, and now the Fujifilm X-T4, high contrast scenes can be a problem. Of course they are all 24 or 26MP cameras. Who knows, maybe the larger pixels on the sensor of the D700 really were an advantage. With the newer cameras I have to always make sure that I am exposing for the highlights and let the shadows fall where ever they may. I can fix shadows in Lightroom, but if an area is blown out, it cannot be recovered. It's just like it was when shooting slide film. So now for my biggest gripe about the Fujifilm X-T4. It is the so called fully articulated monitor screen. In three words, I hate it. Both of my other currently owned digital cameras, the Fujifilm X-T20 and my Nikon D750, have monitor screens that tilt out from the top or bottom. Using the X-T20 pull out screen is a pleasure. If I shoot low, the screen is easy to quickly pull out from the bottom and because it is in-line with the lens, framing is a breeze. The same goes for shooting overhead. The D750 doesn't have the continuously on live-view like the mirrorless cameras, but I can quickly shoot a couple of frames and easily line the camera up with my subject. (Yes, the D750 has does have a live-view mode, but it's slow and clunky to use when taking still photos). With the X-T4's fully articulated monitor screen you have to swing it around, then twist it over, and then manipulate your camera strap out of the way. Lining up with your subject is also not as easy because the monitor is not in-line with the lens. So now to the so called advantage of the fully articulated monitor screen; being able to see yourself. Firstly, if you are shooting selfies, just use your iPhone on a stick. Why would you buy an expensive camera and lens to shoot selfies? Now, if you are shooting studio-style self-portraits, I can see where the fully articulated monitor screen might be beneficial. On the other hand if you are shooting videos where you need to see yourself, which I do when shooting instructional and/or music videos, the fully articulated monitor screen is nearly useless. If you serious about videos, you are going to want have a separate microphone. Well guess where the mic plugs in? It's right in front of the screen when it is in the position to see yourself. In my case, I am using microphones on stands that run through a mixer first. The audio cable and stereo plug adapter block the fully articulated monitor screen to the point it is difficult to see whether or not I am, or my instrument, or other people, are properly lined up in the frame. Plugging in headphones only makes it worse. I have included a picture below. My plan is to buy a cheap add on monitor that mounts on the hot shoe to solve that problem. If you are just using an on camera mic you will still have to plug it in on the side which will block the monitor. I have a bracket (from B&H) that I will use for mounting a mic and add-on monitor to the hot shoe at the same time. So to sum up the Fujifilm X-T4, it's a great camera, that takes great photos and videos (as long as you do not not overexpose the highlights), but the fully articulated monitor screen is a pain. After I wrote this review, Fujifilm announced the X-T5 with a tilt screen. It would seem that Fujifilm got the message.
Beautiful Piece of Kit!
A couple months back I decided to pull the trigger and hop back into crop sensor land (currently have a ff Nikon D850 and D810) as I was looking for lighter weight alternatives for those quick hikes, family stuff, etc. I never had any expectations of this camera catering to anything other than those aspects. Now that I've had it for a few months, it's safe to say that my mindset has completely changed on this front. I was so blown away by the output of this little beast that I can't stop taking it with me everywhere! And that's the beauty of it, it's so easy to take it everywhere. The sad reality is that this lil guy gets far more action than any of my ff Nikon gear. Maybe that will swing in the future or balance back out but for what this X-T4 can do, I have't found myself missing the Nikon gear all that much. It's safe to say that this bad boy has blown me away in far more ways than I would have ever thought when I first purchased it! I love the dials, the feel of it, its character, its video and image quality.....the list goes on. The simple fact of the matter is that this thing actually excites me again, it makes me want to get out there, and that's something I can't always say with some of my other gear. This just goes to show that the best camera is the one that gets you excited to get out there.....and I found that here! Amazing work, Fuji!
Moved from my X-T2 to the XT4
Finally made the jump and I am quite happy with the decision. For still photography probability not necessary; but I love the new dual functionality of shooting both stills and movies. Very easy to transition to the menu as it is very similar to the earlier one.
Best Stills And Video Camera In the APSC Censor Class
So i'm both a video guy and Still Pictures , and this camera is a true hybrid camera, hands down.. This Camera offers 4k6p or 1080p up to 250p which is insane. The Video Quality looks amazing, and shooting in FLOG is a dream. It tracts focus in video very well and holds the focus well. When i shoot people it will track faces and eyes and hold it well i never see it lose focus i can run around or run toward my subject and it never drops out of focus at all, Which is amazing.. And if i shoot 4k 60p using my external recorder (ninja v) it last longer before overheating. If i shoot 4k 60p Internal i get around 30 min before it starts to overheat. If i shoot 4k 60p Externally i get about 1 hour of shooting before it starts to overheat, this is really good performance for a camera that doesn't have a cooling fan built into it. And Also the Still Performance is amazing i can shoot sports or wildlife very quickly, this is truly an amazing camera for the money..
The digital camera I always wanted
I was debating on whether to save money with the XT3 or just go with the XT4. I bit the bullet & bought the XT4. I wanted this model because I believe it's the only brand that has old school knobs for the ISO & shutter speed which is what I mostly change during photo outings so it really comes in handy. I'm sort of delving into the video world & I thought the IBIS would come in handy. I did some test footage & the stabilization is good enough for my needs. I'm just a hobbyist so I can't speak for professional people. I think this will be the last camera that I will buy for a while (unless it breaks of course).
A needed improvement over the XT-3, but...
First off, the improved battery alone almost makes it worth it. Secondly, IBIS does make it worth it. My only regret is that the new rear screen is not as handy as the previous design. Unfurling the screen and moving it to the side to take a low photo (for example) inevitably ends up in a conflict with the neck strap. Hey Fuji-- I understand that the world is going to video, but not everyone is a vlogger. Let's not forget still photographers on this march to the future. B&H was, once again, showing that they are on top of this game. The XT-4 and pretty much all Fuji products was hard to get, so I had to get on a waiting list. I was notified, I bought the camera and and extra battery, and both were on my doorstep in a matter of days. That is top notch service.
I'm impressed
It's been a while since I bought a new camera but this one is awesome. Have to spend some time with the manual but once you learn the menus it's Great
On a par with the X-T2
The Fuji X-T4 borders on being an awkward mirrorless camera to use, and I've used Fujis since their X-series debuted in 2011. The X-T4, for instance, has a new style battery that's both expensive and lacks the heft of previous batteries. While Fuji claims one charge will shoot 660 images, that's only in someone's dreams. It's not the case. More realistically, the X-T4's battery will shoot nearly 100 images. Charging is awkward with a side port that clashes with operation of the rear screen. The Fuji X-T2 is far more fun to handle and shoot.
