1:27 everyone in Canada wears lumberjack shirts. Photographer and subject both in them haha.
@10:35 I'm in love with the way this camera handles the low light situation in this clip. It's still giving nice light gradient on the face with almost no grain or noise! well done fuji
With so many people gushing about the X-T3, its color rendition, the film simulations, great SOOC jpegs, the brilliant WYSIWYG EVF experience and, finally, the amazing 26 MP X-Trans sensor-I really need to believe I must have had a dud. In the four months of owning an X-T3 (purchased new), I could never get myself to loving the colors I was getting from the camera. It would always take a lot of post-processing to make the RAF files look tolerable in my eyes. And even then they'd leave me with a feeling that there was something intrinsically weird about not only the unworldly hues but the texture of the photos and the way they interpreted rather than reflected reality.
When I saw SOOC jpegs from this camera on my PC on the first day of shooting, my heart sank. Muddy all over, with unapologetic blacks taking over even when there was only a bit of shadow in front of the lens (the 18-55 kit; I later bought the other two of the "lesser trinity" in a desperate attempt to prove myself wrong); contrast reminiscent of pictures taken with cellphone cameras fifteen years ago. I had purchased this camera with a view to switching to a jpeg-only experience and the results screamed a big "No!". I had also downloaded several sample raw photos to see what I was getting into, and even though I didn't particularly like what I saw, I thought "I can surely do better," and "there's no chance of this not being an awesome camera, it's getting rave reviews everywhere."
People say the X-Trans sensor is great for producing sharp images. With all the obvious caveats (overall lens quality, camera movement, shutter speed, the right aperture) out of the way, I must say "not necessarily so." Whatever happens at the in-camera image processing level, it seems to be applying a luminance contrast-based algorithms with a bias towards increasing contrast between neighboring pixels wherever the difference in luminance is within, say, the 60-99 percent range, decreasing contrast wherever the difference is 1-30 percent, and leaving it as is for the middle, 31-59 percent range. I often take woodland photos and what I've just described is particularly noticeable there: individual blades of grass can get razor-sharp delineation when they are set against a background that is much darker or lighter, whereas a presence of a low-contrast backdrop results in the subject apparently merging with it. Individual stones on a footpath may be given sharp edges but the tinier nuances of the grit that forms most of the path are smoothed out to a plaster-like uniformity. (From what I've heard, this has actually proved to be a real boon for portrait photographers as the effects I am referring to reduce the time spent on blemish- and wrinkle removal.) This can also be noticed in the out-of-focus areas in any photo in which the background includes many objects of varying shapes, sizes and luminosity. The camera may seem at a loss as to whether or not it should apply contrast boost (which takes the form of apparent sharpening) to the edges of a contrasty shape which happens to be out of focus ("maybe it's blurry due to camera shake, so let's recover some detail") even though it is further away from the plane of focus, while blending the contours of objects which are more in focus but lack luminosity contrast. While this is not readily perceived in photos where there are many naturally defined lines (man-made structures, rocks, people, faces), any environment filled with discrete, significant details will inevitably suffer from this type of processing. On top of that, it looks like it is well-baked into RAF files. Any tweaking performed later using editing software may only mitigate that effect but not eliminate it.
As to the WYSIWYG... Let me put it this way: What I saw with my naked eye was not what I saw through the EVF, was not what I saw on the rear LCD (using Natural LV or the Simulations mode), was not what I previewed later either on the EVF or the back LCD once the photo had been taken, was not what I saw on my PC, and it was not what I got printed. The EVF AUTO brightness mode proved tricky in my woodland environment: fickle, mottled lighting made my eye hurt after a while and confused me as to whether what the EVF was showing me was how the sensor was reading a scene or it was just a momentary spike in display brightness due to the camera figuring it should help me see the little screen properly, after I stepped into a patch of light or perhaps when trees swayed, revealing more of the sky. I didn't use the option to have live histogram displayed. After watching so many reviews touting the capabilities and advantages of the EVF, I thought it should do the trick without a pair of crutches. But hey, I did have the exposure meter right there all the time, didn't I? Yes I did. But-and here come a few "buts": first, my X-T3 seemed to be routinely underexposing by two-thirds to one and a third of a stop, and, with the EVF living its own life in terms of brightness, there was no telling what was happening before I actually transferred the picture to my PC and reviewed it there. But (the second "but"), sometimes the camera would assume the scene was so awfully dark that it dropped the meter to make me believe the sensor needed more light, and... the photo would end up OVERexposed by two-thirds of a stop. Matrix metering appeared to be the least reliable, Average-the least UNreliable. I believe the metering system was simply geared to prioritize highlights protection. I didn't manage to get used to it until the last; with some cameras you do get a "highlight priority" setting; here it was a default setup-in my experience. Again, it is true that I could have customized the screen to display live histogram; however, I am not a fan of cluttering my vision and, at the time, I still believed I could figure the EVF out. (Never happened.) I also tried to set the EVF brightness manually, but soon ran into situations where I couldn't see anything through the EVF after entering an area with a lot more light than before (coming out on a glade from a dense thicket).
Constant fidgeting with the small controls made my fingers itch, and what seemed an attractive retro body design when considered at first out of context, turned out a bit of a hindrance and nuisance in the field. I started missing the easier, more direct interaction and the straightforward output of my old D700, its simple button layout and meaty controls. And the OVF that I could look through without eye-strain, framing shots without having to switch the camera on (I rarely see this mentioned as a clear advantage in wildlife photography, when one can use the camera with a big lens as field glasses when waiting for birds, deer etc to enter the scene...). I truly wanted the X-T3 to work out for me. I liked its looks, the size, the build, the biaxially tiltable rear LCD; the weight was nice, especially with the kit 18-55 lens (the 10-24 and the 55-200 weren't too heavy either; by the way: I had to get a second copy of each as the first came defective: the wide-angle wouldn't establish connection with the camera, the telephoto had a grating zoom ring. They both got replaced without a problem). I didn't even mind carrying three spare batteries on a day hike. But what I was missing was the fabled ("legendary") Fujifilm image quality-I just wasn't getting it out of the camera. So the whole point of buying it and replacing the old DSLR had at that point been voided.
I often read that the sheer appeal of the X-T3 inspired people to leave their houses and enjoy the experience of taking photos. And I think it's great whenever creative joy is stirred that makes us lead a fuller life to which we contribute through our passion or just a pastime. But I hadn't needed that boost in the first place: all I was after was a camera that would deliver pleasing results, a camera more compact yet at least as capable as the battered gear I'd been using. It just didn't work. I embrace the possibility that I may simply be inept, that the camera was-maybe still is-way above my level. And I well know it works beautifully for so many people. I sometimes even get an itch and find myself considering buying a secondhand X-T3, maybe with a prime or two this time, to use it for photographing IDEAS rather than reality and detail, because I've come to think this is where it might excel, even in my hands.
So, to wrap up, I've spilled my guts here prompted by yet another wave of praise directed at a Fujifilm camera, this time the X-T4, coming from a pair of arguably the most likeable photo reviewers on YT. I thought it shouldn't do anyone any harm if I shared my experience. If you like this new camera, i.e. the X-T4, make sure you try it out for yourself first, if possible. Rental is steep where I live, ridiculously so; otherwise I'd have followed my own advice. Balance the pros and cons, make sure you know what you value the most out of the whole photographic experience, and take the plunge. Happy shooting! :-).
If it makes you feel better I don't like Fuji colors either. The footage in the video above doesn't look good to my eyes and the auto-focus is just plain awful for video. I don't like the rendition of the Fuji lenses used either. I'm in love with S-Log 2 and Canon glass so it's what works for you.
@@Makta972 your comment is dead on, hipsters love Fuji.
Cameras are driving me CRAZY! I want them all! 😂😂
I know right? I want an XPro3 so bad but considering the XT4 is the same price I don't know which one to get :( (also want an X100V haha)
This is one Camera that other manufacturers should take full notice on ...
From ergonomics & beautiful looks, fully articulating screen, easy still/movie switch, packed with Cinematic features,etc....
As Hughe Branson said quite correctly, " Boundary Busting, Headache inducing, & Jolt to rest of industry ",..
I wish this was a full frame camera then it would have taken the Crown ....well done FUJI 👌👌👌👏👏👏
Love that Fuji color, they really know how to render a nice image
10:55 - 11:01. That famous Fuji color!
I actually love the look of the Eterna Bleach Bypass.
Great for modern architectural photography
Looks interesting to me as well. Depends on what you want to use it. Certainly a look that is not often seen and therefore will stand out.
I love(d) the metering dial! I must be the only one that changes metering mode frequently! Otherwise, the XT4 is perfect for me. Can't wait to get one!
Me too, i like having spot meter on the fly.
@@AmeriMutt76 i think with the x-t4 you would rather just compensate the exposure with the dial than switch to spot, does work good too
Yeah I liked it a lot as someone who shoots a lot of birds and wildlife in a lot of situations where I can’t control the light
One of my most used dials as well 😉
Wow this Crazy, X-T4 slow motion In Full HD Until 240FPS Thats Real Slow Mo, I'm Exciting With This
Young Chris Is The Best Chris
Omg... Chris looked so good when shot with the FS700.
Still good now, but just... older (and more awesome).
I disagree, younger isn't always better.
I feel a serious man crush. His hair is still 11/10.
Peter Lemke He should be in a shampoo commercial or something. 😂
@@Majutsushi88 As a middle aged bald man l'm always envious of a man with a luxurious crop of hair.
Really appreciate Chris Niccolls style - very informative and engaging/entertaining; also really appreciate Jordan's video insights...thank you all very much for these great, ongoing reviews!!
Finally!! A fully articulating screen. Thank you, Fujifilm!
I hate the fact that it has an articulating screen.
Outstanding handheld stability and sharpness! Hard to believe where prosumer is standing now. Would love to see 60fps video. Thanks!
That the camera didn't seize up when you shot the picture of me speaks well for the new Fuji's durability!
This is a pretty sweet camera.
I really appreciate the quality of your review !
I hope X-E4 inherits a lot from latest Fuji models.
Yeah i would love xe4 with flip screen that can hide the screen make it like a film camera
rumored to be cancelled and the X-E range dropped. I hope that is not the case but Fuji Rumors published that some time ago.
7:05 - That's a harsh cut on the 'especially the videographers' lol.
Agreed.
I'm guessing a whole rack of pickles crashed in the background right after he said " love this" and they had to salvage the footage.
Thanks for the video guys.. You're always my N1 ppl for these sorts of videos.
I understand it is a pre-production unit....and perhaps it is just me... _ as this is just a camera...but I thought you would be more excited. Again..maybe my expectations are too high.. I've been 'waiting for this camera' ever since I got my X-T20..
You mention the APSC Sonys .... and that this being their direct competitor . that's true..but I am VERY looking forward to get my hands on my X-T4...and put it aide by side with my A7III.
I'm pretty sure that the X-T4 will come out ahead in almost every aspect.
If the X-T3 was way up there on your awards...I'm pretty much convinced the X-T4 will win best camera of the year, now.
I'm pretty curious about Fujifilm having said they're very much considering a B&W sensor/camera, much like the new Leica you guys reviewed.
Cheers from Portugal
I am happy to see images taken with the 18-55 OIS; it renders beautifully! Cheers from British Columbia
In terms of out of camera color - this is the nicest looking DPReview video.
@@aceflibble Marvel movies look like shit. There's entire video essays about it on TH-cam.
@@aceflibble No.
Another great review, nice to see it in hand. It looks stunning. Logic with the button changes
No surprise that it doesn't add much for a stills photographer. According to the reviews of XT3, that didn't give much more either. As a stills shooter, there is no rhyme or reason to upgrade my XT2. I don't seem to be the focus of their R&D. It seems video is where the improvements are taking place.
Great review guys! Loved seeing the shots and vlogging in the market. We came to very similar conclusions in our review and are excited about your point on the Sony a6600!
I understand the pre-production concept and the idea of being the first among the firsts but at the end of the day it's kind of frustrating as I never really know what to expect. Anyway thanks for sharing!
what is it exactly that you're expecting? if you owned the X-T3, you already know what to expect. and for sure, lots of firmware updates making the camera better with each passing year.
@Carlos Vega Why are you here then?
@Carlos Vega wait... what's this? a review uploaded by you? oh right, you don't review anything. hehehe th-cam.com/video/_3PE8j77g4Q/w-d-xo.html
@@JonPais Pantsed! Next!
@Carlos Vega I love that this is a first impressions and not a review. Maybe you just can't read.
great review guys, super informative. thanks so much!
I use an XT3 for videography/ stills. I hate switching between the two on the XT3, to the extent I bought an X100F to handle stills, as the switchover is just too clunky. I would welcome the new switch between them. I use Manual mainly, so Exp comp is not an issue.
Thanks guys for another stellar review. It's so good to see Fujij doing their thing.
This video was very helpful. I'm currently using an X-T20, which means the X-T4 is a big step up for a lot of the features.
This is everything I wanted in the X-T3! Perfect camera for me with my random lenses from other brands. Great reviews guys!
I was gonna say, didn’t the XT3 just come out?? But I guess that was Sept 2018
we are old enough to ignore how fast time flies, bro. Hahaha
And people say Sony releases cameras fast. 3 year cycle for them, 1.5 for Fuji, it seems...
Yes, September 2018 announcement. From what I hear. Fujifilm were originally going to bring this out in the summer but brought it forward several months. I am hoping because they want to give the X-T4 a year or so on the market before the X-H2 is released in 2021(this last part is a guess).
@@MichaelLaing71 Tokyo Olympics, hence why the Nikon D6 is shit, because it's a rushed upgrade to sell units for the local Olympics.
@@StuartHerrington D6 isn, t shit, it is just very underwhelming. I am not sure that the X-T4 is a big thing the The Olympics,apart, from that they are in Japan.
5:55 ... you like the "carroteristics" well said. 😂🤣
Great per usual guys. In this episode in particular I found myself turning up and down the volume. I highly recommend figuring out a nice workflow that can keep things very consistent in the volume department. Thanks!
They should be using a Zoom remote recorder with the Lava mic and the sound would be more constant.
The in camera recording with a Rodes mic is just not as good or reliable.
In many DPReview videos, we see Jordan giving very detailed and useful information regarding each individual camera's video settings and capabilities.
In several DPReview videos, Jordan gives lots of very useful information with regards to how he edits / enhances / processes the videos in preparation for posting to TH-cam.
What would be really useful (as so many TH-camrs, including myself, shoot our content on iPhones) would be to see how Jordan would film/record a video for DPReview. Then how Jordan would edit and post-process the video in preparation for posting ??
This would certainly be a very useful video for many DPReview followers/subscribers.
I still shoot cinematic videos on my xt3. Still a beast of a camera. The xt4 is too tempting. Thanks for sharing this video! Very informative.
Поздравляю, у вас лучший первый взгляд на новый топ от Фуджи! Благодарю!
Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the review.
REALLY good production on these videos. Nice job on the content, too.
Perfect cam for hybrid shooters. Will be go to cam for youtubers who likes small mirrorless system. Fuji is listening and thats awesome. What they didnt mention is the IS Boost
/ Electronic Stabilization. Thats a big deal for run and gun.
I think Fuji's aim is for a newcomer photographer like me. for me, that is the perfect camera. It has everything for me to learn and explore
Love your reviews. Funny, informative and educational :) Will there be a review of the final product?
My dream camera. The first thing that has made me think about ditching my G9. Will depend a lot on cost.
A great upgrade to my X-T3, but I’ll pass. As a “photo not video amateur”, I am now for compactness and weight: last trip the X-T3 stayed in the hotel, replaced by its backup, a P&S Sony with 24-200 lens, and never missed the Fuji. Regretted selling the X-T20 and I’ll wait for the “40”.
Awesome Camera, would love to see this in a t-30 form factor one day
Not only did Fuji come to the party, they are the party!
Fuji should updates their lens. Especially for the F1.4 series..
Just picked up the X-T30. Wonderful camera with pretty much the same sensor. I'm new to Fuji but loving most of the experience so far. Interesting to see that they moved the Q button out of the way from people's thumbs. My other problem is with the front dial. I keep accidentally changing the ISO.
Finally a decent APSC hybrid camera :)
Why wasn’t the X-T3 decent?
@@johnp515 With the risk of sounding like a broken record: no ibis...
@@petersvan7880 Question, if your lens has stability in it, do you benefit from IBIS?
5:57 we like the carrot-eristics, LOL!!!!
Started watching it as soon as it came live. Got an XT30 2 weeks ago, will probably wait for XT-5 or XH2.
Also, basically everything was leaked before the embargo lol
I can’t wait for the x-t40 now
Fuji is pursuit of shutting down Camera Conspiracies channel lol
So, Jordan, how would you compare the XT4 with the Nikon Z6? Personally, I love shooting on the Z6--love the colors and skin tones, and have learned to work around many of its quirks. But shooting the X-H1 I had the same joyful user experience---and there's something---call me crazy--that just flat out feels and looks more cinematic with the Fuji APS-C sensor.
But what I'd like is your opinion on this matter.
Fuji color science is just amazing.
@@davidc5885 Color science is overrated. In blind test majority of people simply do not recognize their favorite camera.
I prefer the Nikon colors personally. Also Nikon's lenses perform better in low light, the Z-system is superior in many ways.
@@BojanBojovic everyone is entitled to their opinion. I respect yours. For myself, shooting mostly portraits, skin tones are noticeably better on Fuji and Canon.
@@davidc5885 Oh, of course everyone has an opinion however some opinions are just stupid. 😃
Jokes aside I agree there is a difference, Nikon skin tones are little bit green while Canon more on the red side, but for me personally the difference is so small it is irrelevant, also for me personally there is absolutely no difference as I edit all my photos from RAW.
I understand people like more one or the other, but there is not right or wrong here just different, vanilla or chocolate ice cream as you said. 🖖
The missing headphone/mic jack... Actually, this doesn't seem to be the case. The official spec linked by Jonas Rask in his blog mentions a 3.5mm jack. Also, it seems that there were 2 different pre-production cameras sent out: the one sent to The Verge, Dpreview, etc was made in Japan and only had the USB-C port, the one sent later to TH-camrs was made in China (where the camera is actually produced) and had the 3.5mm port.
You can spot the made in Japan/China difference easily whenever the SD card door is open in reviews. The jack is definitely there in other TH-cam reviews.
Looks sweet. The only change I am not on board with is the metering switch!. I am not sure why anyone found it so hard to slide the previous switch to the stop without looking up to know you were in video mode. I hope you can program a dial to metering mode selection to get that quick functionality back.
This camera is the dream TH-camr video maker/vlogging camera. If the XT3 had the articulating screen I would've bought it but for that I chose Canon. Now this has it and all the record modes for b roll, action, regular cinematic. My question is will autofocus work in 1080p 60/120/240?
Great overview! A big thumbs up.
Haha at 0:36 you can see aliasing on the diagonal fabric due to the x-trans sensor :D
But wow the video quality look absolutely perfect to me. I'd say even better than the Panasonic S1? The sharp details, that oversampling and those colors, that's what I'd love to do.
16bit Tiff files. Brings also to the table.
@** fujifilm-x.com/fi-fi/products/cameras/x-t4/specifications/
@@Aksunkuvat as said in the specs: 14 bit RAW. So dynamic range is Max 14 bit. Since Tiff only supports 8 or 16 bit, you typical choose 16 bit in photoshop.
I'll take three! ;D Seriously though, it looks amazing as a hybrid camera.
waiting for this video of X-T4 for a few months! thanks for posting.
Well, thanks to TH-camrs, who complained and screamed loud about the lack of flipping screen, Fujifilm listened, and rendered the camera useless for the rest of us. Thanks a lot guys!!!
You may not love the Eterna Bleach bypass, but why use it just by itself? Shoot "normally" and then shoot Bleach. In Photoshop, layer the bleach over the normal and play around with Blend and density. You might find it gives you a distinct signature look.
Well you learn something new everyday... had to hit pause and find out what skijoring was!
Me too! Never heard of it until I shot the event. It was pretty funny and lighthearted.
@@niccollsvideo I feel much better now, I just assumed I was out of the loop because I'm from the US!
Great video as always, thanks guys💪💪
Excellent overview, thanks so much!!!
It doesn't really look like you need to upgrade if you have an XT3, especially at the $2200 price it seems to be going for. I was hoping for maybe a larger body with a little more heft to it like the XH1. The IBIS will be beneficial if you're in low light a lot or doing small movements.
Good first look, surprised about the bugs, that's not typical. Great to see IBIS coming to X-T form factor. Agree on the customization of the list of films sims - I mean does *anyone* ever use Sepia? When was the last time you saw a sepia-look photo shot in the last 50 years?
I guess we can never have enough low saturation profiles to hike up to +4 outside of rainy days. Cc, Ns, E, and now bypass. Hopefully we get a nice saturated Reala simulation next. "Provia", Astia, and Velvia shipped with the X-Pro 1.
Wow,watching this video,im very interested review Fujifilm XT4
This is very exciting! Finally!!!
Coming from a XT-2, I find so much new good things. The switch between Movie and Still alone is what makes me wanna buy it. And there is IBIS, whoa!
I own also a Canon 80D, so I know this type of screen. For photography I liked the XT-2 version better.
In video mode, does the exposure still "step up" on auto-iso?
Hey team, the audio you captured in the market is really good! Can I ask, what was the audio setup you used when recording in the busy market place?
*TLDR* As a hobbyist looking to buy my very first camera, the X-T4 ticks all my boxes. Do you believe this camera will be too steep of a learning curve for me or is it a great all-around piece of equipment for beginners as well? Should I look for an older, cheaper model?
Some Background: I've been filming using Moment lenses on my iphone with Filmic Pro and a DJI Osmo for about 2 years now and have novice experience with color grading in Resolve and editing with FCPX. I feel I've outgrown the limitations of my phone and that having a true camera would be more fun to shoot with in general, so I'm ready to splurge on some gear. As someone with zero experience using DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, or point-and-shoots (so any real camera for that matter), I'm excited about the entire learning process and just getting out into the field to start shooting.
I plan on shooting 60% video, 40% photography (primarily cinematography, travel videos, landscapes and cityscapes), so I want a solid hybrid. I'd also shoot sports, snowboarding, and skateboarding for my friends. I don't ever see myself vlogging.
I've been researching for about 3 weeks now (hours and hours of comparison videos) and I've narrowed it down to the GH5, Z50, A6600, and X-T4. (the newest in their respective lines currently). A lot of people would say these might be an overkill for my needs and that the older models like an X-T2, A6300 or G85 would suffice, and of course be much cheaper. The X-T30 was very appealing because having a small form factor is a big factor for me. Originally I was only comparing the Sony RX100 VII and Fuji X100V which seem more than capable for my needs, but I didn't like the idea of never being able to upgrade the system should I develop a deeper passion and want interchangeable lenses to improve my skillset. Full-frame is out of the picture because of form factor, mostly due to the size (and price!) of those lenses. ASP-C is more than enough for me.
With all that being said, I know how the old saying goes: A camera is only as good as its photographer (or something like that lol). I also know the glass is just as important, if not more important than the body. I plan on using the camera with its kit lens for about a year, and then buy primes over time when I see fit. My total budget for the camera, kit lens, and accessories (tripod, extra batteries, grip) is $2,000-$2,500. This will always be my "A" cam, using my phone as a B cam if necessary. Ideally, if I have money left over, I'd love to get a mavic mini or an Insta360 One R eventually. Two people recommended the Black Magic Pocket 4K because of all the time I spend talking about video, but landscape and cityscape photography are important to me as well so I'd prefer having one camera that can do it all.
Odds are, the majority will recommend I start with something cheap and upgrade over time as I learn the basics (when to use iso, shutter, exposure, aperture, etc. in different environments), get to know the advanced features of the camera, and understand my specific needs for my lifestyle. However, I consider myself a quick learner and am no stranger to tech. When I choose my package, I plan on sticking with it for years to come - I want something future-proof, and never want to run into a situation when I say "Man, I could really use X feature right now" on a trip. My videos will probably only be posted to TH-cam and my pictures to instagram, and though I'll likely never use the camera for professional use, I'm unfortunately a perfectionist - I always want to produce the highest quality content possible for my friends and family and surprise myself with my own capabilities in the meantime. I'm excited to take my video editing skills to the next level and learn all the capabilities and effects in FCPX, but that becomes a much more enjoyable process when you have stellar footage.
I'm 80% sold on the X-T4 because it has everything I could possibly need: flip screen, IBIS, 4k60fps, 240fps slo-mo, 10-bit internal, 4:2:0 video, increased battery life, decent autofocus just behind sony and panasonic but always improving with firmware, and lack of rolling shutter (main reason for avoiding A6600). I also love Fuji's cameras for the aesthetic look and feel of the dials, and many people have said its the best setup for beginners. I'd just like somebody to convince me to close that remaining 20% gap of uncertainty ~OR~ warn me if I'm making a poor impulse decision for wanting the best of the best... because currently I'm overwhelmed! Cheers.
so glad i didn't upgraded to an xt 3. my xt 2 served me well, but i think it is time for that upgrade, just for the ibis
they all prefilmed their reviews and dropped them together.... so much hype for a camcorder!
No way, I had no idea you were based in Calgary. I'll need to come and meet you guys. Were some of those shots done in Knifewear? I also haven't checked out that market yet, will have to.
Didn't even hold the door for Jordan! 😂
Selling my X-T3 for this, want that flip screen & IBIS to adapt my manual Nikon lenses
Nice presentation...but why would you even consider comparing the XT4 to the A6600?
Thank you for this wonderful review. Can you please tell me how's Rokinon Samyang 12mm lens for Vlogging with this Camera ?
&
How's this camera for Time-lapse videos?
I really appreciate 🙏
still have my X-T1. Wondering if now would be the time to upgrade to the X-T3 or X-T4. Haven't been convinced yet...
Agree on your conclusions, I would carefully think to upgrade if I were a still shooter. Going for it from a video centric perspective. I would bring G9 to the game next to A6600 for curiosity.
Like your reviews a lot.
So you mentioned where the metering dial no longer is. So where did they put it for those of us that use spot meters often?
Looks like a lot of the video issues have been ironed out---definitely hope to buy one for exclusive video shooting.
IBIS makes all the difference in what I do, using primarily 3rd party lenses.
But of all the sins of omission that failure of Fuji to provide waveforms hurts the most---really, really need that for LOG shooting.
Does the digital stabilization use a gyro like GoPro?
Nice vid again. Interesting I wonder why Fuji not given the nice 16-9 screen to this camera which I like as on the A7 and now T200 thanks guys for the vi interesting points cost of the camera compared to the xt3 ?.
Would it be possible to do a comparison between the Fujifilm X-T4 vs. the Panasonic S1H?
Fuji way of saying, we have a new aps c camera coming soon, so if your in the market, this will be our offering shortly, so hold off on that purchase until we release and avoid potential buyers remorse because a better model dropped shortly thereafter
Very nice but I’m going to stick with my apparently obsolete XH1 bodies for the foreseeable future, I don’t need 240fps HD or 60fps 4K
Who agrees that Fuji should release a dedicated video only camera with all the features Jordan is asking for?
At the edge of purchasing gh5, but now not longer necessary. Fully articulating screen and gimbal support seal the deal for me.
Thank fuji for lightning speed innovation in video and attentively listening to user demands.
Or save a heap of cash and get a G9...
Or wait and see what a GH6 offers.
or the rumor x-h2 😉
Loving it! And the slow Mo of Chris though.
Will you be reviewing the xt4 again when you're able to get a unit that is not pre-production? I would love to hear your thoughts on the new HDR mode.
When operating the movie lever, are the values used for previous exposures stored respectively? Are both still movies stored with the same value?
Yes.
Patrick Tomasso wow each work?
@@MAKEFILM Yeah they are isolated settings. You can swap back and forth as you wish.
coming from a canon t7i/750D I want an upgrade in IQ. my main reason for jumping to something like an EOS R would be IQ, and I don't really care that much about video. however I mainly focus on wildlife and landscape photography, and the EOS R with glass is just a bit too expensive to justify for me. and IBIS in the xt4 is a really really really nice to have feature. IQ wise, where would you say this sits?
This will be the perfect camera for fuji xt2 and xh1 users. Definitely time to upgrade. For xt3 users will really depend on what you need.
Really? I own a XH1 and feel no need to upgrade just for the sake of it.
i love my xh1 too. it really depends on what you shoot. If you shoot video, sports, or a lot of candids the improved af and eye af of a xt3 or xt4 will be a big upgrade. If you film youtube videos the flip screen is a big deal.
A lot of people will be happy to have ibis in a smaller camera. Others like the bigger form of the xh1. They announced unofficially the xh2 as well... which won't come out in 2020 so it will be after the xt4, so that might be the camera for you to wait for.
Wow, I love it (and will definitely buy it). One questions: Is there still restrictions about the recording time, as with the XT-3?
the release I saw said 20 minutes.
@@aceflibble people who want to enter videography business and filming interviews. You do not want to interrupt people in the interview just to start filming again.
Sadly, there's still a 30 minute record limit. This applies to the final output length of slow-motion clips as well, so a 1080/240P clip output at 24P (1/10th speed) can only be three minutes long in real time, which creates a 30 minute clip.
For longer recording times you can use and external PD battery and an external monitor/recorder. I do artists talks that way and I could do nine hours continuous with my current setup with the X-T3. So, way more than I would ever need.
aceflibble it can be convenient for filming videocasts, talks, debates etc. if they at least let us hack the firmware or something. This way it’s Sony only :(
Hello. Thanks for all this info. I already have an XT2 which I am delighted with. I would like to switch to the XT4, but also having all the Nikon equipment, I hesitate between the XT4 and the Nikon Z7. What do you think ?
