Hey everyone, RUclips deleted all of my comments because I moved my channel to a new account! If you have any questions leave me a new comment! And as always, if you want to support my channel... buymeacoffee.com/JohnStambaugh
John is one of my absolute favorite camera youtubers. Seriously, this is how you tell about a camera. Plenty of footage, most important details right off the bat, calm and well explained... the fact you don't have more subscribers is mindblowing. Keep up the good work!
Probably the Best Fuji footage I’ve seen. Your style is my goal. I’m rocking the XT3 til some sort of insight comes on an XH2. Your clips make me want to go out and shoot, thanks man.
GREAT video! The reasons? You are not trying to be a comedian. You don't talk so fast I can't absorb anything. You don't mumble, like one famous reviewer we know. Your hat isn't on backwards. No jive talkin'. No vulgarity or bleeped vulgarity. You don't talk in Cockney. And your videos are surreally beautiful instead of boring. That means no skateboarding and no auto-focus tests on fence posts. Now I really want an XT-4, and I just ordered a GH5 and lens. Thanks for ruining my day!
you are correct about the dynamic range of fuji cameras, i have a Canon C200 and fuji Xt4, the fuji XT4 match the dynamic range of the C200 Raw easily, this camera is amazing in every way!
John Stambaugh Both you guys made good points . AF would be a good tool to improve my music video shoots. Not sure if I’ve stated this, but I’m currently using a Osmo Pocket & a Canon 7D, so the S1 or the XT4 would be amazing.
I'm using X-T4 too & couldn't say how much I love it among the other X-100V & Sony A7RIII. I look forward to your sharings on X-T4 more. Great jobs & thanks for the sharings. Liked & subscribed.
Happy you are not going to be a review channel but showing us what the camera does. I am new to having a real camera and recently got XT4.So thank you for the video.
John thanks for the 18-55 mm inclusion. I cant effort to buy extra XF lens so i shoot only on 18-55 and is incredible for me and keep shooting and shooting on my XT3 body. It can do almost everything an FF has done and in most cases i like the Fuji better. Like you said F Log is so great for me especially shooting direct sun lights and so on and dissecting in post was a great fun( I never use 4K except in landscapes). This kit lens is far far better than all the kit lenses i was threw at. From landscape to family photos and portraits i use only 18-55 mm as i got no other lens(most of the time my Godox AD200 pro solved my probs). The lens and myself we grow on each other(when i actually rent 56 mm f/1.8 i was like "what a slow lens') Now i have to say even IF i am invited to shoot the King and told to bring the lens of my like my 18-55 mm will be sticking with me hahaha. (finally on 15/08/2020 i lay my hand on the X-T4 and don't find a replacement for my X-T3)
These are some super solid observations, thank you!! I've had my xt4 for about a month, and I'm still getting to know and understand all its ins and outs; thank you for the much needed prespective on the IBIS and the auto focus!!!! You put so much into this video. Just thank you! Also, your film footage is breathtaking!!!!
Just wanted to say how much I liked this review! I've already watched a ton of them, but this one addressed points no one else has brought up, or just make sense from a user/functionality perspective.
I think is going to be the investment I make. I love Fuji. I love photograhy as well. I think this will be a great addition for my conent. Dude, your color grading is stunning. Love it.
Thank you for giving your quick reviews upfront, thank you for covering all those important points, thanks for the beautiful footage, man... really! And you come across so natural and humble. This is an instant subscription.
John, I'm halfway through this video, but just wanted to say thanks for this and the other videos you've done on the x-t4. I bought an x-t4 a few months ago and haven't even taken a single photo or video on it yet. mostly because i have a canon dslr that I have used for a few years and a ton of glass for the canon that I'm already super familiar with and comfortable using. I also haven't really done much video stuff lately, only photo, and the canon is fine for that. It's 1080P and 8bit with no log, which is why I picked up the fuji for stepping up video work when I have it. Your videos have given me the confidence to start playing with it a bit as I feel I have a much better starting point after watching this video and some of your others. This is what I needed to give me the push to dive into my x-t4! Keep up the great work. Production quality on your vids is amazing and they just have a really great feel/vibe to them that makes them enjoyable to binge watch.
Phenomenal review, John. I've noticed many of the same things that you have noted. If you understand the quirks and limitations, this camera is the ultimate hybrid.
Bro your video is so fucking crispy on my 4K tv. I wasn’t even paying attention to anything you said cause I was blown away at your color grading and just the quality of the video. Amazing stuff! I mostly shoot still so I use the xt3 but just wanted to watch this to support a fellow Fuji user 🤣
i do not own a fujifilm camera and I got no idea why did I watch the entire video! I just had my first camera Canon m6 ii to start learning photography and videography. Keep up the good content!
Yo thank you for putting so much work into this man! It was incredibly helpful to see so much footage and hear your thoughts from a real person's perspective instead of just spouting specs haha, cheers
Hey man loved your amazing review, probabaly the most realistic and practical review out there. your reviews feel like a movie (just like philip bloom's reviews) and they are great.
I rarely write comments but I feel I had to for this. Pretty much answered all the questions I had about the camera and you included some very stunning footage, possibly the best Fuji footage I've witnessed. I am sold, gonna buy one when they go on sale haha. Thanks for the review brotha!
Hi, this review was really great ! I'm so impatient, my xt4 will be delivered next week. You truly managed to convince me to go deeper in my color grade, your work with the xt4 footage is amazing !
@@johnstamw ahah, i will let you know when my xt4 is home and ready to shoot. I’m currently working in the shadow since many months on a landscape photography youtube channel (in french), i’m so hyped about the xt4 for that. I was shooting all my content with my iphone with an hdr workflow
@@johnstamw Hi, my XT4 has arrived ! It's really weird to go to Fuji from Canon's DSLR, I might need quite some time to adapt but the overall experience is great ! It coming with me next week to a trip in the Pyrenees
Thank you very much for this great review! Love your style, and I've been mesmerized by the quality of your footage. I will be devouring all of your content in the coming days I guess ;) Keep it up & cheers from France!
Thanks for the review. Very good points. I had the X-T4 but found I couldn’t rely on the autofocus. I also had some weird ibis wobbles. Loved the color and flip screen.
instant sub. Love the content, John! Proud owner of a fuji xt3 + 50mm f2 + 18-55 kit lens. Currently doing my first paid video job, though, I mostly do photography:) looking forward to learning from you.
Thank you for the info this really helped me to decided on my upgrade from a G90 to a X-T4, I am also a RUclips creator and I have been looking at other cameras and camcorders for filming and photos this film really helped me to understand in much better detail what the X-T4 can and cant do and also why its better and not so better then my G90 and other cameras and camcorders thank you :)
Looking for a solution to make stills, as I did in the past, and start over to film, this is a very helpful video, covering all relevant topics. Very well done.
One of the reasons I think the noise looks acceptable on the Fuji is that it keeps the blacks black, and hangs onto its colours. Other cameras start to get very strange artefacting around the colors and they seem to desaturate and change tone. So although you see the 'grain', the image and colours appear stable - just a thought by a noob.
Thank you for the review, I enjoyed watching it! I have the same two lenses, I am shooting F-Log mainly, and now I am learning to color grade with your LUT. It is very stylized and I have to learn to play with the bright highlights.
@@johnstamw sure, that's how I do it, too. Which do you prefer for that conversion: Fujifilm's LUTs (Rec.709, Eterna, WDR) or Resolve's Color Space Transform? Have you noticed any difference? Your Big Sur LUT has definitely a unique, beautiful, cinematic look!
@@johnstamw I have an extra question I hope you will answer in your future F-Log video at the latest: what Sharpness setting do you use in camera and how much do you add sharpness in post? Your mountain scenes look so sharp and beautiful!
freaking spot on man! I love the xt4 and have a sony a7siii on preorder (for my purposes with commercial/lowlight) and stoked to compare the two. Likely to keep the xt4 as a b vs going another sony because the value/video codecs are unmatched at the price.
Good stuff. Let us know if you could use some Hazard 4® tactical-grade photo packs to help you on your filming journeys. You make that XT camera do amazing things. Keep it up. We bought your LUT.
I've never subscribed that fast before. Your footage is woooooow. Will devour your videos to find out what on earth you're doing to get it like that lol!
@@johnstamw - I was tempted to get the X-T4, though, the soon-to-be-released X-H2 has given me pause. I'm in no rush, so I might wait for the announcement and see if that is the camera for me. If not, there might be a price drop on the X-T4. Thanks again for a great video.
for video, I really love the small "Fujicron" lenses. The 16/2.8, 23, 35 and 50 f/2 lenses. Yes, they are not super fast in terms of aperture and bokeh. But they're fast in AF and they're super lightweight and compact which makes them really good for gimbal work. It's a bit like handling the dpi DL lenses for the Inspire drone
I love your review and lucky enough to bump into your channel. I actually was consider buying Sony or Canon for my 2nd camera but I ended up buying this due to so many reasons and features that it provides
The release of the rumored Sony ZV-E10 might push me over the edge to buy an XT4, because I own the a6400 but Sony obviously doesn’t care about giving us decent specs for APSC, and I’m not paying for a premium price for an A7siii or FX3 Also this is one of the best reviews of this camera!! And your footage is absolutely gorgeous
@@johnstamw You think it’s worth completely switching? I’m asking because I am a hybrid shooter as well. And still get a decent amount of photo gigs as well as shooting my own personal film projects and the occasional weddings. I’ve been shooting with Sony since 2016. I even bought and rigged out a pocket 4K but it was too cumbersome for me.
Own the camera, but like hearing video perspective on this. Have the 16-55 2.8 and tested video, walking with image stabilization. The zoom into 24mm range and beyond I will need to try to remove jitter. One of best reviews of this camera by the way! Also will have to look into other videos for your settings!!
Thanks very much for your review. The best hybrid camera out there for price/performance in my humble opinion is still the Fuji X-H1. It was retailing at £699 here in the UK just 4 weeks ago.If you know, you know...
This grade is beautiful, man. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I'm really digging it. Is the Big Sur LUT you sell a good starting point for this look?
You really do nice work..nothing the details of your review plus your videography work is fantastic... I am more of a stills shooter...just starting to get into video... but as a still shooter...I feel Fuji has a nice selection of fine lenses...but in the past year I have been shooting vintage lenses and love them...the Volna9 and the nokkor 50 f/1.8 pancake are my faves...I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your future work...be well
John, great video! Just subscribed. Thank you for being honest, too. I currently am shooting with the Canon R and would love to incorporate video into my stills work, but I am unfortunately in a tail spin with all this hype of the "perfect camera", which I know doesn't exist. I would love to try Fuji; maybe soon! Thank you again for the great content, John.
@@johnstamw Hey man, you earned it! I try to make my films look and feel like yours. I nail a shot here and a shot there, but lack consistancy. Practice practice practice I guess 😀
Thanks, a really thorough and thoughtful video with some real world images! I am so stuck between an used a7r3 vs XT4.. I just want that extra full frame photo for landscapes plus a video camera.. been thinking about the speed boosters for the fuji-- as I am addicted to the color and usability of Fujis!
Wow, what a great thorough review! I own this camera and this made me love it even more haha. Question, does your fringer adapter get loose off of your body to the point where you have to reset it often to get the electronics to work? This is my main gripe with using it alongside the 18-35. It's always getting offset. Maybe I just have a bad copy of the adapter?
Well - you just earned yourself a new subscriber. Your work is incredible and you’ve convinced me to keep my X-T4 and not switch to Canon! I’ll hit you with a follow on Instagram - seriously man, your work is amazing and I hope you’re doing well!!! (also - when you say your Fujifilm LUTs aren’t for Log but rather for a flat profile, what do you mean? what should I be filming in if I wanted to purchase/use your LUTs - I very much just might soon :) thanks!!)
The xt3 really needs the flog view assist. I don’t understand why they are still delaying, it’s a simple function to implement but really helps a lot. It doesn’t make sense to implement the auto focus capabilities if I can not trust on them using the flog.
Just found your channel! Man this review was amazing and really has me thinking. I’m currently trying to get a second camera to use over my canon 6d. The xt4 and the eos r are right in my budget and to be honest the xt4 looks stunning. The only thing holding me back is my beloved Canon 24-70 ii 2.8L. At the same time buying into canon mirrorless is almost like getting into a new system since I’ll have to buy rf lenses which I can’t afford. Maybe a 6d combo with the xt4 will do me good haha
@@johnstamw yea it definitely did. After a couple weeks going through your videos I ended up getting a used xt3 for $940 . Excited to jump on the fujitrain!
I just sold the XT3 and got the XT4. You just mentioned in your video that you just sold your Atomos Ninja V after getting the XT4. I’m just about to buy the Ninja V for the XT4. Why would I NOT be in need of it ?!? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🧐
@@johnstamw Thats what I’m also trying to figure out 🤔 Do I really need a Ninja V for my xt4 rig ? Or would I be just fine with the Shinobi - which is almost half the price… doing short movie clips and short interviews. Running on Sirui Anamorphic 50mm 1.8 atm & still trying to make a decision between Fuji XF 16-55mm f2.8 or the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ but that’s another story. Help with the monitor please ?! What’s your take on it ?!?

Wow. Simply the best review of the Fuji Xt-4 on RUclips. Keep up the good work !
I’ve been looking for a hybrid camera. Photography and vlogging. This video really captures my aesthetic
A very honest review I would say, I have had an XT4 for several months now, and always keen to learn how to get the best out of it.

I'm starting to get interested in this camera. Would love to see a video where you break down your xt4 rig.
@@johnstamw amazing, I asked so couple more questions 😊. No stress at all, your reply made me superstocked, seems to be exactly what I need.
Quality of the videos are so good bro , just about to pick a xt4 .
Thanks bro , going to try your luts on my wedding videos from now on
John Stambaugh yes will find u on ig this is mine instagram.com/nevinixavier/
Your colour grade game is on point..
You really do nice work..nothing the details of your review plus your videography work is fantastic...
I am more of a stills shooter...just starting to get into video... but as a still shooter...I feel Fuji has a nice selection of fine lenses...but in the past year I have been shooting vintage lenses and love them...the Volna9 and the nokkor 50 f/1.8 pancake are my faves...I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to your future work...be well
Thanks for this amazing and informative review!
Great review with incredible footage.
Loved this very much.
Ooohmg John. The shot of the truck and the rainbow is so stunning! Was that shot using the Eterna profile in camera??
Great video super helpful! Could you make a video on how you setup your xt4 with your custom buttons
John, great video! Just subscribed. Thank you for being honest, too. I currently am shooting with the Canon R and would love to incorporate video into my stills work, but I am unfortunately in a tail spin with all this hype of the "perfect camera", which I know doesn't exist. I would love to try Fuji; maybe soon! Thank you again for the great content, John.
@@johnstamw Dude! Blazing fast reply, not to mention thoughtful. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so so much for the in-depth review!
I enjoyed that! Will be following your progress here 😀
@@johnstamw Hey man, you earned it! I try to make my films look and feel like yours. I nail a shot here and a shot there, but lack consistancy. Practice practice practice I guess 😀
Dude! Tha COLORS! Your Colors are Beautiful!
Thanks, a really thorough and thoughtful video with some real world images! I am so stuck between an used a7r3 vs XT4.. I just want that extra full frame photo for landscapes plus a video camera.. been thinking about the speed boosters for the fuji-- as I am addicted to the color and usability of Fujis!
Really well done- thank you for posting!!
I think i just felt in love
Wow, what a great thorough review! I own this camera and this made me love it even more haha. Question, does your fringer adapter get loose off of your body to the point where you have to reset it often to get the electronics to work? This is my main gripe with using it alongside the 18-35. It's always getting offset. Maybe I just have a bad copy of the adapter?
Super helpful review. Also great images you canptured with it. quick question: Any SD CARD recommendations you can please help us with?
Well - you just earned yourself a new subscriber. Your work is incredible and you’ve convinced me to keep my X-T4 and not switch to Canon! I’ll hit you with a follow on Instagram - seriously man, your work is amazing and I hope you’re doing well!!!
(also - when you say your Fujifilm LUTs aren’t for Log but rather for a flat profile, what do you mean? what should I be filming in if I wanted to purchase/use your LUTs - I very much just might soon :) thanks!!)
The xt3 really needs the flog view assist. I don’t understand why they are still delaying, it’s a simple function to implement but really helps a lot. It doesn’t make sense to implement the auto focus capabilities if I can not trust on them using the flog.
This Video is so great! Thanks for the great content, keep up! Greeting from Austria :)
Just found your channel! Man this review was amazing and really has me thinking. I’m currently trying to get a second camera to use over my canon 6d. The xt4 and the eos r are right in my budget and to be honest the xt4 looks stunning. The only thing holding me back is my beloved Canon 24-70 ii 2.8L. At the same time buying into canon mirrorless is almost like getting into a new system since I’ll have to buy rf lenses which I can’t afford. Maybe a 6d combo with the xt4 will do me good haha
@@johnstamw yea it definitely did. After a couple weeks going through your videos I ended up getting a used xt3 for $940 . Excited to jump on the fujitrain!
your FJ40? had one too! great video btw and I agree fully
it is really helpful ... please make a video for which lens one should buy for wedding cinematic video. thanks
I just sold the XT3 and got the XT4. You just mentioned in your video that you just sold your Atomos Ninja V after getting the XT4.
I’m just about to buy the Ninja V for the XT4. Why would I NOT be in need of it ?!? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🧐
@@johnstamw Thats what I’m also trying to figure out 🤔 Do I really need a Ninja V for my xt4 rig ? Or would I be just fine with the Shinobi - which is almost half the price… doing short movie clips and short interviews. Running on Sirui Anamorphic 50mm 1.8 atm & still trying to make a decision between Fuji XF 16-55mm f2.8 or the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ but that’s another story. Help with the monitor please ?!
What’s your take on it ?!?
