I’m a professional photog and used my XT-4 for the first time last night. I feel like I’ve taken a major step down in quality from the canon 5d. Hopefully the out of the box settings are just badly chosen by the company and I can fix this. Feels like instead of a fuji I just bought an iphone 6 camera.
No not the best aps-c, the x-trans array sucks for fine detail. Even fuji must be admitting it because they use bayer sensors in their medium format cams. If they ditch x-trans, i would buy fuji without hesitating.
Sorry, without Bird/Animal Eye focus, a must have feature for action cameras, the XT3/XT4 is a NO GO!
I have watched loads of reviews about the XT-4, none of them come as close and detailed. Thank you for your time and effort!
Thankyou, I aim to produce some of the most detailed videos out there!
I'm glad the x-h line is still in production, love the xt4 however the size of the xh series is nice
Love it! It appears to fix all the shortcomings of the X-T3.
I felt so, crucially without losing the charm...
Owning Sony A7sii, Nikon d750 and Canon 5dmk4 over the years finally dove into Fujifilm. My xt4 arrived a few days ago and I can't say enough good things about it. I was able to figure out the menus and controls within seconds. Its by far the easiest camera I've ever had to master. I'm not sure I can ever go back to a camera without all the dedicated knobs!
I'm thinking of doing the same, selling my A7Sii for the x-t4 or xpro3. But ibis is nice. Curious what lenses did you go with?
2 years later and this is the second best APS-C camera, behind the FujiFilm X-H2S. Amazing.
Just got mine after upgrading finally from the X-T1. Shame about the lockdown. But what little I have used it for...It's an awesome leap for me!
I still have my X-T1 and considering an upgrade. What do you think about your X-T4 after a few months? How's the build quality?
@@madwolfa Its a fantastic camera. Only grip is that the camera does not like being having IS on when on a trip. I get very odd results. So I always turn it off when using a tripod.
The X-T3 is an absolute steal right now. I got the X-T3+16-55 2.8WR for a total of 2000€. I used a 1DX+24-70 2.8L II and upgrading to the 1DX III would have cost 8000€ so i decided to go with the X-T3
Great review, Gordon. Thank you for sharing. I have an X-T4 and I agree with everything you said. I upgraded from an X-T3 not for the video features but for IBIS with photography and for the better battery. From my limited testing, I'm very impressed with it. I took a photo of the street from my balcony at just after midnight - handheld at f/2, 1/10, ISO 3200 - and it was sharp. I tried the same without IBIS and, well... it wasn't. Makes sense but it's the first time I've used IBIS so it was exciting. I can't wait to get out there properly and do some street photography.
Thanks again, Gordon. Take care.
Hi Gordon... I've been hooked to your reviews for quite a few years now and after pondering on the fuji xt4 as a life time camera... you have just nailed my decision ...cheers...love your 2nd to none professional reviews
That was the perfect review of the X-T4. Exactly what I was looking for when compared to the X-T3. Well done and thanks!
You're very welcome!
As an XT3 owner I think this is a very minor upgrade, IBIS is definitely good but not a must, specially if you r using a stabilized lens, the bigger battery of course was a so much needed change, these are the 2 things for me yet not enough reasons to upgrade from the X-T3.
Everything one wants to know about a camera, Gordon does it how it should be done. Kudos and keep up the good work. 🖤
Very impressive camera and yet another comprehensive review, thanks Gordon. I don't _need_ another camera but this one's very tempting...
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed the review...
I have never watched any of your videos but after watching this video, you are already number 3 in my list of best reviewers.
APS-C cameras like these makes you think twice before investing in micro 4/3.
If a person has no cameras at all, hasn't invested into any system, I feel Aps-c is the sweet spot. And the XT-4 is the perfect APS-C.
Now, Fuji if you would release a few cheap f1.8 lenses.
Great review as always, Lui Kang!
Thanks!
I'm looking for a completely new system (my current APS-C Nikon camera and lenses are old and entry models).
For me the X-T4 is just too expensive, also the Fuji lenses are very high priced.
So - in my case - it makes more sense to go for a Nikon Z6 or Sony A7 III, roughly the same price and also weight but Full Frame (affordable and very good F2.8 Tamron zoom lenses) and better grip for all-day outdoors.
Even though the X-T4 is a very good camera for sure, 20 % lower price and I would consider it ...
I think you're right. I'm still rocking an EM-1 with some pro lenses, and more recently an A7iii and A9. This XT-4 is a really powerful and lovely looking camera though, I think if I were starting afresh I would be looking carefully at the XT-4.
@@patrick.771 I found the lenses much cheaper than the Canon L lenses I used to buy & because of that I ended up buying more & more Fuji lenses.
patrick771 they are expensive but they are very good. Even the kit lenses are amazing. Fuji lenses are renowned for their sharpness and build quality.
Fantastic and thorough review. Probably the top 3-4 camera gear reviewers on RUclips IMHO.
We just upgraded our XT3 to the XT4 and this review helped us decide. Keep up the good work!
thanks gordon ... the best review currently on the interwebs i believe ...
looking forward to other fuji reviews as they become possible
cheers from nyc
A limitation of the XT3 and the fuji X series, is the remote camera app when recording video. Wai Lam did a thorough review on the Fuji Remote Camera App, pointing to these shortcomings that make it unusable for video control (no ability to focus, freezing of the image), that make it difficult to use for instance when self-recording and trying to set the focus. I suppose they haven't updated the app for the XT4. The GH5 app, comparatively, is very complete and useful. Thank you for your review.
Thankyou Gordon, what an amazing review! SO much hard work and SO much knowledge, you are truly AMAZING!! PLease keep it up.
It is a great camera, especially for full time travellers. So glad i got this one! Selling my full frame after this
What full frame system you getting rid off. The ibis for stills ain’t brilliant I just sent mine back and wished I had kept my A9 😔
Lovely review, Gordon. I really love my X-T4----so much I'm yet to take advantage of. Only shooting video, I don't miss full frame at all except for the convenience. My metabones FD to X mount speed booster gives me full frame and extra light when and if I need it--and PLENTY of bokeh. And love the new batteries and battery charger---worth the money, for sure.
Now, I have small hands----and while the X-T4 is comfortable to hold, especially using the battery grip, I will be more excited to hear about the debut of X-H2. If it came out I'd buy it today...or even yesterday---if I could. Both had, for me, something as a video shooter I find indispensable: Cinema 4k. No cinema 4K--no purchase.
I note you omitted remarking about using non-electronic lenses---that's all I shoot with. I have a set of X mount Rokinon's that are wonderful to use. And the focus peaking is the best in the business, hand's down. Combined with the ability to move the focus box and punch in ANYTIME and refocus makes the T4 a video MF shooter's dream. No one mentions this feature, but, IMO, for video and manual focus shooting it's Fuji's jewel in the crown. Using it I NEVER miss a focus pull or have to re-do a focus pull because I missed critical focus. Every camera that aspires to attract video shooters should have this feature.
I loved the X-H1, image was beautiful, and body remains, IMO, unsurpassed. If it had better batteries I'd buy it again today.
Alas, the X-H1 does lack the X-T4's new Vampire simulation.
:-(
Fortunately, not a deal breaker for me.
;-)
I couldn't agree more on the IBIS. Ever since I had a camera with that system, I never bought one without it. And the argument "I don't need it" is not valid, because I can always switch it off in my camera. For me, this addition alone makes the Fuji system much more appealing. And I'm sure not only for me.
Definitely, especially for the 56 and 90
I'm sticking with my X-T3 but love that Fujifilm is charging forward
The X-T3 is still fab.
Me too 👍🏻
I agree. Fuji seems to have a bunch of photographers working for them who also happen to to be engineers.
Truly awesome review! Thanks for taking the time to film and make it!
Excellent in-depth review. I've been looking at Fuji for a long long time now and decided to jump into their eco system. Was a toss up between xt3 or this but with the extra features and battery life, an extra £200 pound was worth it. I've also paired it with the 16-80 lens. Looking forward to getting to know this new piece of equipment when it arrives... Great channel and wetted the appetite even more
Thanks!
I was hoping that during the vlogging eterna bleach bypass test, a zombie would popup in scene from the trees behind you and start chasing you.
Yeah, the bleach bypass is a bit Dawn of the Dead...
@@cameralabs apparently Fujis BB look was inspired by '300' another movie directed by Zack Snyder, who directed 'Dawn of the Dead"
@@batturion he directed the remake of dawn of the dead, it was George A. Romero who did the classic original! But yes, either way, zombies!
Excellent review, the best one yet. Thanks for making this.
Brilliant review as always Gordon and the camera is just gorgeous!
Thanks!
Auto focus is the only slight let down in an otherwise almost perfect camera system. No mention (?) of available lenses and ISO performance. It made a nice change for the vlog in the woods. Detail seemed to be in abundance. The very best reviews on your channel Gordon, and not to be missed.
Thanks! I felt I'd covered lenses and ISO performance in earlier reviews and didn't want to repeat myself and make it any longer. Remember the image quality is the same as the X-T3, X100V, X-T30, and X-Pro 3.
AWESOME review!! Thank you!! That IBIS example when you were walking through the forest around 19:00 really showed the difference between stabilized and unstabilized footage on the XT4
Thanks, I have a new separate vlogging video with the X-T4 if you're interested...
Great video, i ordered an XT4 last night having had the XT2 since it was released. Nice to see my old haunt of Brighton and the South Downs :)
Hope you'll enjoy it, I still love the XT4
Thanks for the great review as always. I get mine today I can't wait to get it into my hands. Cheers.
Let me know what you think when you've used it!
Incredibly well done! Kudos Gordon!
Thankyou Jordan! Did you also see my latest vlog test with it, as a separate video?
As always , one of the best review out there:) Deep and alot of work behind. I just got my xt4 and what to say? Wow? Maybe thats the correct word,hehe. Fantastic camera and i am in love:)
Agree!
Congrats on the camera, and glad you enjoyed the review!
I think I will go for this as my first camera and a beginner. Have fun with this camera and make money is the best. Peace and love from East Harlem NYC...
Best of luck and stay well! PS - if you order online, please consider using my price checks here or at cameralabs.com thanks!
First crop camera to offer good IBIS & AF. And for stills probably the most functional body controls. Great review and the summary was the grand finale.
Great review of an intriguing camera. I'm a little put off by the change in rear screen mechanisms and moving the remote shutter input. This will make using an l-bracket difficult. As always, a superb and thorough review.
Have to say, thats a great and in-depth review!! Good job, answered all my questions, thanks.
I'm very much looking forward to see how the upcoming Canon M5 mark II will fare against this in the high-end APSC arena
I can't comment as nothing's been announced, but I'd love to see an M50 II.
Even if they release a M50 mark II, it won't be in the same league, the m50 is an entry level model. This model is more pro and rugged. So don't expect them to sell anywhere near the same price.
I don't think it'll be anything remotely comparable.
The IBIS although not perfect, personally is the best on any APS-C camera and even beats some full frame as well with their IBIS. I can't wait to get mine. Awesome review
Thanks!
Except for Sony there arent many Full Frame cameras with IBIS and Sony's IBIS is probably one of the worst on the market. Olympus has most likely the best IBIS on the market.
1TheQuickstep Sony/Pana/Nikon/Leica/Pentax n now Canon all have IBIS.
Panasonic IBIS is the best among FF. It's easy to stabilize smaller sensor compared to FF.
@@1TheQuickstep Sony A7 series, Nikon Z Series and Panasonic S series all have Full Frame and IBIS. But yes Olympus has incredible IBIS like the EM1X and EM1 Mark 3, love it. I have a secret soft spot for the EM1 Mark 3
@@LoverOfTech Pentax K1 and K1mk2 are full frame DSLRs with IBIS, and Pentax has had IBIS in their APS-C Cameras since 2006.
Well done review! 1:56 mark. This option already exists on the X T3, but the feature is accessed differently.
Thanks, and yes, the ability to access 15 mins via T is on most of the X-series bodies, it;'s one of my favourite features about them and I try to mention it in every review.
Mine gets in Wednesday so excited. Can’t wait. Gonna be a big change coming from a canon m50.
What are you most looking forward to?
Where did u order it from?
Outrageous pricing for an APSC camera
As a candid street shooter, I prefer the older screen.
As a macro photographer, I prefer the new screen.
Solution? Huge monitor mounted on the camera.
Super impressive camera. Great job on the detailed video!
Thanks!
Hi, Gordon: As always, your reviews are some of the best in the business! My main concern about the XT4, despite it's high level of functioning, has to do with the massive and inexpensive line of generic lenses (Sigma, et al) that are made for my Sony A6600. I also love the very small travel size of the A6600 that is so easy to carry when I shoot all day (while traveling). Thanks again, and thanks to Fuji for pushing all camera manufacturers.
That’s the only thing stopping me from switching over too! I love the Fuji colours and it’s a fantastic camera but the lenses they have to offer aren’t great and that’s what is really putting me off
As always excellent reviews on the cameras. I only got to miss a brief comment about the sealing quality of this latest Fujifilm model. Thank you for your great contributions of information, a warm greeting from Spain and a big hug :)
Gracias! Yes, it is weather sealed to the same degree as the XT3.
If you add an accessory shutter button to your X-T4, make sure that you use thread locker on it or you will certainly lose it. I did that once and so I got another one and put thread locker on it. Never came off again!
Hi Gordon,
I really loved this review, super detailed.
I'm looking for a camera that's good for still, but furthermore can do 4K 60fps, and this seems to tick all the boxes.
Here are my requirements:
-4K 60fps, mic jack input (this has USB-C)
-Good AF, and don't want to be fiddling with manual adjustments on the lens
-Sub £2k with everything
-Easy enough to use for a novice - I'm no pro like yourself or most who would be getting this camera
I'm currently using a Sony RX100 MK1 (yes old school), for all my videos on RUclips and still on my website. It's good, but really want to step it up a level.
Would you suggest this camera over say the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5; or any other camera you can think of that will fulfil my requirements? If so, which lens kit would you suggest.
Oh, and if I disable IBIS - would I still get the choppy effect you mentioned when panning - as that's important for me for B-roll footage?
Thank you so much in advance!
Mine’s just come in. So excited, loving it already. Just wish I had someone to help me put this damn camera strap on lol.
How did you get it so early?
no doubt a great body for the hybrid shooters and videographers
Personally as a still only Fuji shooter i will skip this model mainly due to the screen - the XT3's screen tilt is pretty much my most favoured feature.
Hopefully the XH-2 will keep that, and take the good bits of this camera into it (larger body also isnt a bad thing to me)
I honestly think there's room for two versions of each model, differing only by the screen mechanism.
@@cameralabs yep engineering wise it would be very simple to achieve considering they have the mechanisms and screens, just a matter of putting them together
thanks for the awesome review! learnt a lot about this camera~
i'd like to add the fact to your observations regarding canon. coming from canon, yes the R is priced similarly, however RF lenses are a considerable amount more expensive!
Agreed and that also applies to most full-frame systems which is why I still think there's room for APSC.
@@cameralabs absolutely. I think it's astonishing what fuji can squeeze out of these apsc sensors. So much in fact that I deserted my plan of getting an Eos R, and sold all my Canon gear for fuji. When I can do this with apsc, at this price and size, I don't need full frame!
Phenomenal ibis! A clean shot at 1/5! Incredible. Gargh considering this
Excellent review, was on the fence between XT3 or 4.
The addition of IBIS is worth the extra money.
Thanks for the in depth review! great to have a comparison with xt3.
Best camera reviews ever Gordon! Such a compelling choice for me, but not enough to switch from my current olympus system. IBIS doesn't seem that effective, at least in video mode.. Starting to think there will never be a ILC platform that beats m43 when it comes to stabilization. Incredible features this camera packs though, like the 4k fps & bitrate options
Yep, that's the benefit of a smaller sensor - better potential IBIS.
Great for videographers but i will stick to my xt-2 ... prefer the tilt screen and its made in Japan
SK SK mij is huge to me
Though I don't have a fujifilm camera on me but those great things are a dream to me. BTW I love your way of introducing and viewing cameras. Thanks for being there.
Glad you like my videos!
Finally a camera that could be seen as a real alternative to the 2 year old Lumix G9. Well done Fuji!
Well, G9's IBIS and grip are a dream to work with, the X-T4 doesn't even come close.
For stills there's no better crop sensor camera than the X-T4 though.
@@HarryPowerColt I'm going to do an updated long-term review of the G9.
@@cameralabs That would be very interesting!
Excellent review!, really tempting, but I think I will stick with my xt3 a bit longer :), although the ibis seems great with the 16-55 mm
Thanks for this beautiful review of a beautiful camera.
First photo that I noticed from your book is from my home town PORTO :) Nice review
I had such a good time in Porto, especially trying out the Francesina's!
Good Taste :) Thanks for your nice work.
Originally I thought it was a missed opportunity when I got the Xt3 months before the confirmation of the Xt4. But I'm not missing out much.
Images and video footage was AMAZING!!!
Thanks!
Epic Review, Gordon! it really is a beast of an Hybrid camera. I think this might be the one Kasey falls in love and settles down with lol
In theory, but I think there's better choices for vlogging.
Gordon, I'm probably not the only one who's interested to hear which cameras you would prefer for vlogging?
The major drawback for video in the XT3 is that it stutters (creates irregular movement) when doing a panning, even on a fluid head tripod, and most of the time that ruins the shot, when working on a gimbal or when panning, and that comes from the sensor or the processing, which haven't changed much in the XT4. I see at 16:11 some slow and short panning movements, and when you look at it, there is some stutter, even if there are good conditions (slow movement, relatively distant subject), which makes me fear that the issue persists and that makes it unusable for me while moving the camera.
Gordon thanks for the detailed review. I used to use X-T2 and XF 16-55 mm f/2.8 lens. I have a question for you. Compare to Sony a6600 with 16-55 f/2.8 combination how does it feel (X-T4 and XF 16-55 f/2.8) for long time carrying? Does it feel bulky?
Very nice and extremely thorough presentation. I enjoy all your review videos very much. I am vested into the canon RF line but sometimes wish I would have tried my hand in Fuji, wish I could afford both.
Great camera! i'm still holding out for GH6.
Being that I shoot nature primarily, where there is no moire, X-Trans is a drawback for me. I've seen the worms, and I don't like them one bit. I know you've got to pixel peep to see them, but I'm into retouching that can last more than a day for a single picture. I'm a perfectionist. Can't help it. So I hope you're right about bayer coming back soon.
Thanks for the great review, Gordon.
I don't think bayer will return for the higher-end X-series models. It's only in their budget models or the GFX line for Fujifilm.
Got my popcorn ready 🍿
You may need two buckets...
@@cameralabs haha
Came for the review, stayed as we evidently live in same city. Brighton ❤️
Thank you for the excellent review. I changed from Nikon (D810) to an X-T2 and added an X-T3. I like much about the Fuji system but Lightroom just does not handle the raw files well. (I saw some comments below but can't find them again.) I have taken about 50,000 photos with the cameras and notice the issue, especially at higher ISO values. Yesterday I did a test by saving both the jpg and raw files and importing them into the latest version of LR. The SOOC jpg file clearly had many fewer "worms" than the raw file (at a 4:1 view). Part of my photography hobby is capturing birds, and I find that I often lose fine details, even after following various sharpening routines. I have tried Iridient and Capture 1. And even considered going back to Nikon. Any suggestions?
This is a gorgeous fully spec'ed camera. If sigma contemporary lenses make it to the XF mount, I'm switching from Sony aps c to fujifilm. It's basically the camera I've been waiting for from Sony. The a6600 can't even come close to this.
I do wish they'd make those Sigma lenses in the X mount!
Viltrox will soon complete the XF 23-33-56 1.4 trinity (56 is still on the way).
@@frankfeng2701 I've been keeping an eye on those. They're still not as good as sigma but it's good to see some competition.
Helpful review! Thank you for your video!
You're welcome!
At B@H the X-T4 body is $1,699 and the X-T3 body is $1,499. Unless there's not a significant price drop for the X-T3 soon, I'll get the X-T4 since it's just a $200 difference.
IBIS is so welcome in the XT series. Fuji said it wasn’t possible and here we are. Hopefully they reconsider not going to full frame either.
Maxfli82 why would they go to full frame when they do medium format? And IBIS is fine for video but overrated for photography, give me a stabilised lens over IBIS every time.
When the days comes that I am eventually forced to leave Olympus, it’s looking like Fuji may be the closest thing I’ve become accustomed to. Hopefully when that day comes, DxO photolab will actually be able to process an x-trans raw.
Good review as always but one small correction (3:32) the XT100 was the first XT series camera with a front facing LCD. You did a review on that too :) I personaly prefer the design of the LCD on the XT100...
Yes, I meant with a X-trans sensor.
So Well Done. I'm waiting for my X-T4.
Brighton
I'm weighing the XT4 versus the EM1.3 as a travel vlogging camera. Oly IBIS gives better stabilized video in my opinion. Some really good and affordable lens selection, that also weigh less.
The XT4 is attractive for higher quality video. Particularly the better 4K frame rate, and 10 bit video. It seems more future proof. The lens options makes this so much more difficult choice. Only a few good ones and they tend to be expensive or heavy.
Share your thoughts!
if the XT4 IBIS is good enough for you, I'd get that.
Wonderful review, thanks so much! After watching this, i think i will wait for the EOS R6 as the IBIS is quite dissapointing to me :)
Excellent review, Gordon!
Thanks!
I actually prefer the flip screen because I can keep it closed and unexposed when I don't need it.
Best review I've seen on this camera. Amazing job! A couple of questions for you. Does it have focus peaking? exposure zebras? and/or auto iso?
Yes to Auto ISO, and yes I think to zebras, but can't remember about peaking.
Yes, it has focus peaking :)
@@cameralabs great thank you and keep up the great work!
@@TomJorman thanks Tom! really into this camera
My Olympus cameras have focus peaking and is really fun to use. It's like ants racing around on the image screen. There is no doubt about what's in focus. I read somewhere this is one of the advantages of mirrorless cameras over dslrs. The focus of the mirrorless cameras is based upon how focused the image is on the sensor that's going to take the photograph. The focus on the DSLR cameras is based upon how a lens is focused to a separate sensor above the mirror.
I so definitely want to get into the Fujifilm ecosystem, it's so exciting, especially with the X-T4. I mean I was considering getting a used X-T3 body and using it with my old FD lenses for talking shots but filming myself would be a bit hard without that articulating screen. (I could get that mirror that attaches to the hotshoe but that's a pain)
Thank you for this excellent and easy to follow review! There's just one thing I'm missing (and for some reason nobody else seems to think about it too). It's the quality of the audio input. For example the signal to noise ratio, limiters, line or mic input selection and the overall sound quality. It's borderline frustrating not a single video of this camera addresses the audio quality. Is there any chance you could do a little follow up on this?
My test sample has already been collected by Fujifilm unfortunately, but I do have another vlogging video coming soon which uses the Rode wireless go again.
Hi Gordon, i m in a deep research to buy a camera for a long time, i have a question ; X-T4 is 26MP and X-A7 is 24 MP, lets not see that 2MP resulation difference which does not make any change in my case i guess , these 2 cameras have Aps-C sensors and same (nearly) resulation, so shouldnt they see same level of detail in dark scenes? All other features like Native ISO and Processor Speed etc. make the X-T4 see better in dark? That is why X-T4 multiplies the price of X-A7? Thats a technical and kinda logical question for me becuase they have the same pixel size (nearly) which is the real case to collect light. So to see better in dark scenes, where real price difference goes to?
With the new XT4, would you recommend purchasing it with the 16-80 or the 18-55?!
Hello! I'm considering getting the XT4, the Sony a6600, or the ar7 III. I'm not a professional photographer, more of an enthusiast, but I was wondering if you could give me advice? I generally love to photograph at night in low light cities, or dark in the middle of the woods to shoot stars. I also like landscape, and macro photography, and I would love to start doing some film videos as well. Appreciate any replies!
Do you have a preference on lens systems, check the prices of the lenses you'd want to get. Also any preference on camera design? And how important is video autofocus?
@@cameralabs thanks for the quick reply! I think I'd be happy with either lens system, generally I try to steer towards the more affordable, bang for your buck route. I dont have any preference on camera design aside from it being mirrorless and being weather proof/sealed. At this point in time, video autofocus is probably not one of my deal breakers. Right now I'm still on a Nikon d3300 dslr, but I've been itching to get back into photography with a worthy upgrade that'll last me years and I feel like i've narrowed it down to the 3 I mentioned before, i know there's plenty more cameras out there of cours!
Very professional one. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Does the video switch maintain Fn type settings? Such as AF mode, AF points, etc. Also, does this improve the AF performance of the older Fuji primes? Thanks Gordon, you're a star!
Ooh I hate that fully articulated screen. I'm still with the X-H1 for this very reason. Damn you, FUJI. You were a stills camera first and now you're stepping on your stills photographers toes!
It is hard to please everyone! They should release two versions of each model!
As usual, a great review. Thankyou.
Cheers!
Excellent job Gordon
Hi Gordon, great review. I have the X-T3 and I am a stills photographer - architecture, street, still life and landscape. I have the 18-55 kit lens and the 23 mm F2. I have really no specific need for IBIS, the X-T3 handles even slow shutter speeds with wide apertures extremely well. Should I really bother with an upgrade? Thanks.
