    This was, by far, the best review I've seen on the XT4. Not only that, I felt like I was attending a masterclass and didn't want the lesson to end. You've earned my subscription. Keep reviewing with passion. It sets you apart!

    I first watched this video about three years ago when I bought my X-T4. I decided to watch it again now because I needed an “inspirational boost.” It was even more powerful and stimulating this time. Your approach to photography is deep and thoughtful and your videos reflect this. They help me reconnect with my “photography self.” Thank you.

    Chris, I just want to let you know that your excitement is absolutely felt and shared throughout your videos. You're more than just the guy who shows me and helps me understand the best settings for my Fujifilm camera. You're very detailed there, but you go beyond that. Your videos are simply fun. They're entertaining. You bring a great positive attitude and both your humor and joy are felt through your videos. And I love when you occasionally share how you're feeling at the end of them. You're a real authentic person who has a passion for his cameras and photography/videography, not someone spitting out a list of specs I can find with a quick google search. Keep up the amazing work, man. I'm looking forward to the day you reach 100,000 subs and you share with us the reason you started the channel! It's only a matter of time.

    Hey Chris, I received my XT3 yesterday. I am like a kid with a new toy, so happy. I got it for video, including a little gimbal Crane M2 for small lens. Image Quality, Price and form factor were my decision factors. Don´t be sad for the numbers, remember the fight R5/6 vs A7Siii that is been happening outside during those days. My advice for you is just rest. You have been producing a huge amount of valuable material for all of us and you have been a very good example to your son about how is to live with passion, love for your activities, curiosity that put you in motion for knowing how the things work and generosity for sharing. Muchas Gracias!!!

      @Paul Jones I was going to mention that it's close to FF levels, particularly the Sony a7 III and Nikon Z6. However, as I mentioned, for the ergonomics and APS-C form factor, as well as the hybrid features of video (if one cares about those things) then I do think it's good value. However, yes, you are correct in that it's approaching (by maybe $200 or so) FF prices on some models and if I could edit any part of this video (YT won't all me to), I'd definitely add this point in for sure. I appreciate your feedback!

    "Shoot with your heart, not your gear." is such a meaningful sentence. I am excited to start with the X-T4 and already have ideas which my old Camera just cannot perform.

    I'm a musician rather than a photographer. With no live gigs at present I've been spending more time recording, and have started to branch out into video production (yes, the dreaded RUclips music video), so I've been researching video cameras (my daughter loves Fujifilm cameras). I just happened to stumble across this video. What a wonderful experience to watch your video! Thank you! lots of fun, too!

    I've been binge watching reviews of the XT4 for the past couple of months (trying to justify holding on to it or if I need to let it go- mainly because of the overheating issue since I do mostly videos. I've owned it and use it professionally for a bit more than a year. This is the first time I watched your review (after watching countless hours of your XT4 tutorials). The message at the end really hits me. All this time I've been looking at the issues I have with the XT4 and it makes me forget how much fun I have when I use this camera compared to other cameras.
    Thank you.

    As a fujifilm user for nearly twenty years, my last upgrade being the X-T2 when it was released, like you in this video with the X-T4. I have spent the last seven or so years using that camera, the 18-55mm and a grip with six batteries. I have been as happy as a lark. I must have shot quarter of a million photographs with that set up. It still delivers top quality images. When something is good by any test, it remains good regardless of what comes next.
    The X-H1 and X-T3 did their best to piss on my parade, but they were soon forgotten. The X-T2 continued to be an excellent camera, and the 18-55mm continued to be the best kit lens any brand has ever produced (clue: it is not a kit lens lol ... try explaining that to some people).
    I promised myself that one day the lauded X-H1 would be affordable, and then maybe I would get one. So seven years or so later I have one, I also invested in the trinity red flag zooms. I feel that I have earned it. The instant gratification I could have had seven years ago, is now a delicacy to be savoured. The lenses are mind boggling on both bodies, the X-H1 a joy to use with it's gentle shutter.
    Your review was quite evocative. I have been enjoying photography all my life, developing and printing my own photographs in times gone by. Before IBIS and auto ISO (Ilford 400asa). Thus the ending resonated hard with me.
    You shot the X-T2 on the pier. I guessed it was on a gimbal practically before you posed the question. I felt a pang in my heart, for my beloved X-T2, I felt for a moment like I have been banging the babysitter or something using the X-H1 and it's IBIS, which is why I bought it to go with the my XF16-55mm and 8-16. I am old, my hands are not rock steady like they used to be.
    So you may be asking, why the heck it this sentimental old git looking at review of the X-T4?
    Well... my desire is to have some fun with video before I check out. I want a DJI gimbal... bit of a cock up getting the X-H1 it is just one step too far behind the technology. Damn.
    I am fully set up for video, ND filters etc etc. Your advice has been second to none. All the good things everyone else says about you are true, I will spare you the repetition.
    Thanks for the review, for the sake of not much, a used X-T4 looks like a better deal than a similar X-T3 for the battery alone.
    That's me done, I will proceed with a big fat Fujifilm Velvia smile on my face... thanks.
    🙂

But it's unsurprising because it's clear you are a master at video production and it shows here :D you sir, are a true professional and I salute your dedication to create exceptional content with a twist, out of the kindness of your heart. Speaking of heart, that last bit where you said shoot with just your heart not the gear, man, that really got to me. If there's one thing I'll take away from this video, it'll be that. I just wanted to say an honest thanks, for all the work you've put into this, it was well worth the wait. Oh and, there's no such thing as a "failed opener" for your videos ;)

      Yep, most definitely. Believe it or not, I still love the 18-55mm overall even over the 16-55 when you consider price, video, OIS, weight, etc. 16-55 is like having four prime lenses though.

    Chris, I discovered your channel in the last month and I really love your videos! I recently have sold my Olympus E-M1 kit, which I have loved for years and have made the move to the Fuji X-T4. I have absolutely no regrets! I also bought the X-E4 for casual family photography and street photography. As well, I have the 18-55, 16-80, Viltrox AF56 and a few other prime lenses. I’ve been shooting photography for years and consider myself an advanced amateur photographer. However, it’s only been lately that I’ve really gotten into video and I’m learning more about all of the different features. I would like to know which gimbal you were featuring in this video when you showed your gimbal for a moment.
    On another note, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your “Mother’s Day video“ for 2022. I found it very insightful and inspiring. Very nice words.

    New cameras are just too expensive for me since covid19 came. And I've been quietly telling myself to just shoot with my heart with my 7 year old gear. Keep telling myself to not feel jealous when others are buying gears everytime a new one enters the market. That mantra has not failed me yet. To hear it coming from a RUclips channel, reviewing cameras, is super refreshing. And when I've saved enough, I will come back to this channel to see what new gear you'll be recommending. Thank you for this review.

    What you said about it's your passion and not your gear that matters is the best thing I have heard in all the camera review videos on RUclips : literally every one of them analyses in minute detail all the specs and functions, which little bit and pieces they don't and all the rest of it. But after all it is not the camera, it is the photographer that matters. A photographer with passion will shoot better pictures with an iPhone that one using the most expensive camera with passion. It is great to hear from someone who knows what photography is about and not someone who plays with cameras. You are great.

    Thanks Chris!! I have to agree with everything here. I got my XT-4 and love it for all the same reasons. But what I really had to agree with was your last statements about shooting with your heart, not your gear. I do find myself, especially shooting clients that have expectations of poses they've seen, or lighting they like that I did for others, getting bored sometimes.

    I love that you said buy the gimbal vs the XT4, depending on the type of photography you do, to be very refreshing.
    The best illustration that you are giving an honest review vs a manufacturer shill.

I’m excited about the battery upgrade and IBIS (especially as I shoot manual vintage lenses). Thanks again! I enjoy your channel.

    Chris, you hit this one out of the park, especially the last segment. I'm a long-time (stills) pro and that whole career was really just "selling" the energy and heart I'd put into a client project. I also taught public school elementary for a while in the middle of the 40 or so pro photo years.Teaching was wonderful, too: showing kids that caring, passion and fun go together. The SKILL to learn was what made the reward (fun) possible.

  • @demianstimson1522
    @demianstimson1522 4 года назад

    Perhaps somebody else has already made this point but I just wanted to say that switching between video and stills without having to change the settings is possible on the xt3 even without that dial, just have it in "Silent Movie Mode". Then you set aperture, ss, iso etc using the touchscreen when in video mode and when you switch back to any of the photography modes, it reverts back to physical controls. I didn't know about this until I saw Thomas Heaton doing it in a video and asked on reddit how it was done. It means that the scenario you describe at the start of this video, being set up for video and spotting an opportunity for a still, or vice versa, was already possibly on the XT3.

I love what you said in the end, that you can get other excited about their passion and if a new camera can get you to do that, great (exactly what is happening to me).....and to shoot with your heart and not your gear. So true. I an so thankful for you, as you break down things and gadgets in a way that I could never, ever do (nor would I want to!).

    One really awesome thing about the X-T4 is that the price of the X-T3 dropped enough ($999) for it to be a no-brainer upgrade for me from the X-T1. Was able to use the extra money I would spent on the X-T4 on a new lens, the almighty 16mm f1.4! Win win for so many that want to get into Fujifilm system. Btw still keeping the X-T1 since the resale value isn't all that great.
