Great review 👏! Anyone else like me and still shooting on the Fujifilm X-T4 in 2024? 📸🙋🏻♀
meeeeeeeeeeee and still learning
@@thared-reeper 🙌
I purchased the XT4 in March 2022 and I can honestly say, it's the best piece of camera equipment I've ever held and used - it really fills all my needs, if not even more. The only downside for me was getting used to the FUJI menu-system and the various buttons around the camera - that took a while to get used to, but other than that it's a solid 5/5 from me.
Perfect timing on the video. Ive been on the fence for the past week about this camera and its 16-80mm lens. I agree with you 100% on the price for an older camera. Autofocus is a concern, I hope the XT5 is announced with the same improvement the h2s got
A xt5 with a new sensor and xh2s like video will be a dream
Thanks for your thoughts about the T4. I love my Pro3 but since I started taking video I am wishing for a camera with better work flow. I think about buying a T4 although I am right eye dominant, but maybe I will get used to it. With the T5 available now I will have a look for deals, especially after Christmas. I have also seen offerings from trustworthy used gear sellers for T4s in very good condition for less than 1200€. Thanks for reassuring me switching between stills and video is easy, that’s one of my main concerns right now. Cheers. Dennis
Good honest review, thanks.
Thank you!
Thank you for tell me about the Fujifilm summit on September 9th. Was thinking about getting the XT4 but I’ll wait a little longer.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 will be interesting to see what they reveal
Nice video Eren. Yes, I own an X-T4 as well as an X-Pro2, X-T2 and X-T3, and enjoy using them all. The only VERY slight niggle I have with the X-T4 is that I have never been quite happy with the operation and feel of the shutter release button. I use a soft release button on all my Fuji bodies and they all feel fine all of the time except for the X-T4. It is hard to explain exactly how I sense the problem but it just sometimes feels as if it is going to stick or not operate. It always DOES operate and maybe it is just that it is a totally different feel to the X-T2 and X-T3. However, great camera and I love it.
That is interesting, I’ve not used a soft shutter release yet in this, in general though, the x-t4 is noticeably softer when pressing the shutter button so maybe it’s how they changed the design of it from the x-t3
I bought an XT3 when the XT4 came out and absolutely haven’t regretted it. In fact, for my use case with photography, I’d take it over the XT4 any day. Given the price of an XT3 now, I’d 100% say they’re still worth buying in 2022.
Yh if you’re mainly doing photography I agree, save the £ and get a xt3
Very informative gear video as always! I'm still rocking x-t2 and x-t3 combined for photos, since I prefer smaller body and the way of screen articulation - flip screen isn't just for me as a photographer. And as far as handling and ergonomy goes for longer sesions, I add handgrips wich are not that expensive and they don't add much bulk and weight compared to battery grips...
I wish that x-t5 would be more similar to older design, screen articulation and size like t2/3, it fits more to my style of photography.
Huge thanks bro!!
Nice work Eren, just to mention that issues with dust and water are much more common when using lenses that are not WR. Also when we change lenses in windy conditions
Thanks Nikos! good point!
Awesome review 😎🤙
Thanks dude
Buying one this weekend. First camera Very excited. Used on FB with shutter count less than 100 and comes with 16-80mm lense.
Sounds great! such a good camera and will be for years to come
I had an experiance Fuji 35mm 1:1..4 lens, which was very pretty look filim camera , so I love your beautiful dails on the tblack top....& very interesting of your cleared voice of one by one narration nice.
Thanks for this video. I agree on the topics exposed here, I am an XT3 and XT4 user, bought the XT4 a couple of 100 bucks cheaper during last years' cashback campain. I believe it's a wanted Fuji decision to keep the price high so they could sell the XT5 way over the 2000 USD/EUR mark. This would alienate though a lot of the amateur/hobby photographers which still can afford top cameras like the XT3 but are already struggling with the XT4...
thank you! Photography becoming an increasingly expensive field to get into.
One thing that always keeps me from switching from photo to video is the fact that I need to put an ND Filter if I'm shooting at day, this really takes away all the convenience of having such easy switch, imagine having an integrated ND in the body, just like the X100V.
Yh would absolutely love some sort of internal ND. That said, shooting at iso 160 and on eterna with a high f stop you can get away with shooting video, on sunny days. Obviously not a perfect replacement for an ND though 😄
4:19 damn these are beautiful shots right here. Always been FF Canon user but may switch to Fuji, just kinda waiting to see what the X-T5 looks like in a month before I make up my mind.
Huge thanks! At this point id say hold out for the X-T5, it'll come with Fuji's new sensor which will be a big upgrade on the X-T4
Well I was just about ready to buy an XT-5, I had sold my Nikon D610 and lenses and already purchased a 50 f2 and 18 f2 second hand for the new body. Well it seems I waited a bit too long after they were released and now the silver body is sold out in my country and no one knows when they will be back in stock. Guess what, I picked up a great deal on a new XT-4 ($1300 cheaper than XT-5) in the Black Friday sale and thinking again about the differences between the two models I don't regret my decision one bit.
Informative and honest review. X-T4 is a wonderful camera. The only real caveats that led me, personally, to add a Nikon (Z) back into my kit were chiefly high ISO performance and AF face/eye detection. But my X-Pro2 and X100V? There's nothing quite like them on the market. And Fujifilm colors-whether SOOC or RAW-have a lovely, naturalistic, organic quality.
Hopfully that high iso performance is sorted with the newer models
X100v has the same sensor as Xt4? So same quality?
@@jaymills1720 For the most part, yes, nearly identical.
Hi, there is a lock function you can customize and add to a button, swipe etc (eg I have set it up so when I swipe down I can toggle camera lock (I excluded swipe down from lock so I can unlock it the same way)).
!! Huge, thank you, will look into this
Eren selamlar,
Canon 6d ve Tamron 70 200 2.8 vc setim var( diğer ekipmanlarımı saymıyorum), xt3 ile değiştirmeyi düşünüyorum yanına da 35 1.4 veya 56 1.2 almayı. Pişman olur muyum full Frame den apsc ye gectigim için yoksa coşar mıyım
Fikrin nedir?
Teşekkürler
Thanks for your very useful video Eren. I have a chance of buying a used silver XT3 or a used silver XT4, both at fairly good prices (would have preferred Black though). I'm on the fence about which one to go with. I don't do hardly any video and prefer the XT3 screen, but like the idea of IBIS and the better autofocus. Your video is pushing me toward the XT4 and was a great help.
Black is BEST. 😅
if you're not going to be shooting video, get the XT3, save the money for a trip / lens
@@erenjam Thanks Eren, your right. The price of used XT3's seem to be coming down a lot at the moment and there's plenty of them, so will likely buy one of them.
Great stuff as always. A *used* X-T4 is a still a great option in 2022 imo. I LOVE my X-T4 but I wouldn’t spend the new price for one.
Why not pay for new?
@@ChaconJairo because, at least where I live, you can get one that is used in like-new condition for $1100-1200. The savings versus buying new will buy you an additional lens or two.
@@MikePGuitars that makes sense. If you can get a food condition for that price then that’s a good deal.
Yh that sounds like the right approach
The XT30 got movie optimised control too, I’ve just realised lately. It’s amazing !! I hope to be able to afford an xt4 soon but a new computer is needed to take all that 4K footage power. Great video! :)
That’s great to here Fuji bringing new features in the updates !
Thanks! Hugs from Portugal
Thanks Nuno!
@@erenjam ❤️
Hi Eren! Thanks for your review! I just got my xt4 months ago and sadly I found it sometime goes crash and freeze during shooting... I hope it's not a common problem to most users isn't it?😢
I've never encountered that, may be worth getting Fujifilm to take a look
great review, I appreciate your work on it. I really would like to buy that camera and probably I will but however like you said it's a 3 years old camera... so idk
also, the price of it won't go down for some reason
@@erenjam Just bought, i can't wait to use it ;)
I’m thinking of getting the XT4 and making my XT3 my second body. Is the weight / size of the XT4 that much more than the XT3? And if I swap back and forth, is the images similar between XT4 and XT3?
The XT4 is about the same as the XT3 size wise, and the images will be near identical. The video department is where the XT4 excels over the XT3
I love my XT3, but if I were to purchase the XT4 it would really be for the Battery life. Otherwise, the XT3 is a steal these days.I hope that the XT5 will have a headphone jack and full sized HDMI. If it doesn't then getting an XT4 or another XT3 in 2022-2023 isn't a bad choice at all.
True! XT4 is a great camera today and it will be for years to come yet
Did you try pressing the front and back dials (like a button) for locking the settings?
Not yet. I recently read there is a way to lock, will look into this!
I have the XT-3 and wanting to upgrade. The H2S is not for me. If Fuji delivers in 2023 with an XT5 that meets or exceeds my needs, great, if not, well I'll be looking at stepping up a notch to the XT4.
Should be interesting too seee what’s announced in September
Sold a7s3 because I suck at grading and want SOOC video to look cinematic. Xt4 xh2 and xs10 are my thoughts. And a lens. Thoughts?
Xh2 Is a great shout, XT4 is also good but the xt5 will be out next year
I use old vintage glass, so no autofocus issues for me. Its all manual. 😄 Much easier. 🙂👍
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Would love to hear your thoughts about the XT4 compared to the XT5, especially for video!
XT5 has the edge but, XT4 is also great for video, have a couple cinematic episodes filmed on the XT4 on my channel too.
@@erenjam thanks i have watched them all since i commented the above. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and art 📸❤️👍🏻i am looking out for the xt4 because of the flip screen, i think this is a big benefit for me..!
Does xt5 or xh2 or xh2s share the same switch from stills to movie too? Do u know?
yeah it does
What lenses would you recommend, how is the fuginon 27mm?
Havn't tried it yet but will be soon, love the idea of a pancake lens
Thinking of upgrading to a used XT4 from Xpro2. Cant justify $1k more to get the XT5 for my photography needs
I use both. Xt4 is great. Size isn’t a big deal. The screen is…meh…but I usually move my body rather than me screen.
Im hearing XT3 is better if main usage is photography. If this is the case, any chance XT4 process stills better?
They are very similar when it comes to photography, the XT4 will be better at AF and is generally faster but the images look near identical.
@@erenjam same even with low light photography (e.g. astro)?
man I'm trying to decide on if any fuji camera is better than the Sony A6400 for that price range?
I used to use the A600 range on sony, IMO the Fuji lens lineup is a lot better and so are the cameras. Sony's strength is in Full frame
I am new in this I don’t understand the difference between it and the other brands Nikon ,canon or Sony I know nothing please answer me
All the brands make good cameras, find the one you enjoy using the most
I've been trying to get a Fujifilm camera for a good while. I don't see that price going down at all 😩
yh the x-pro2 price is pretty crazy
still using it in 2023!
🙌🏼
what is your video settings?
I shoot in F-Log
Thank you Mr Beast
😂🙏🏼
i bought mine for 2600 just a year ago so 1600 is a good price for a great camera
What do you think about it now that you have it. I'm thinking to buy it to shoot films and photography.
@@Reux It's an amazing camera for film, especially film. The worst thing is that the auto focus keeps hunting so I never ever use it, its worthless and appearantly after research its like this on all their X lines. Either way, I would only replace my xt4 with something significantly better and all those options is way out of my price leage so if you find it for 1500 bucks its a steal. I was a Canon man before but I sold everything 2 month after getting my Fujifilm, its superior is cinematic video quality.
Can you use film simulations in video
Yes you can
@@erenjam that is such a cool feature because I'm going to do a sepia video for an aged care facility to highlight what it would have been like in the olden days for these people So what we do is we shoot family members for the people with dementia so they can remember what it was like for their families
I find the AF to be excellent too. I have no idea what the whiners are looking for with it.
some have higher expectations when leaving Sony.
I find Fuji's AF works well enough while still keeping the photographer engaged rather than doing everything for you.
@@BostonHooligan08 Lol. That's all I can say to that hackneyed piece of nonsense. Thanks though.
For stills, I think it’s way more than adequate. But for af-c in video, Sony and Canon are much more confident and frustration-free.
Tbh for photography I have no complaints, it’s mainly in the video department but even so, it’s not stopped me from capturing what I wanna capture
chamkuli... get the G85
XT4’s auto focus is one of the worst I have ever used in any camera. So sad Fuji can’t figure this thing out.
They gotta catch up with Sony on this one
which lens do you suggest for this camera as a kit? 18-55 or 16-80?
i’d say 18-55,
@@philip-fs5xz could you explain why? A lot of people said 16-80. What is tour experience about that?
18-55
