Couldnt agree more! Glad about the eye af comment. Really looking forward to test it next weekend! Have a feeling that it will be the decisive factor for me. IBIS is a plus but I very rarely shoot at less than 1/125 with static subjects...
Ex-Canon user here, just upgrade to FujiFilm XT-30 from basic Canon. I really love it, the pictures is amazing and detail. I think I will stick to this camera for quite a long time
This was the best review ever, so many other people that review cameras seem to think everyone is into video and youtube as well as taking photos but you gave a clear opinion for people like me for what to buy that couldn’t care less about video options I just wanna take pics
The flimsy bits on the side are actually more useful than you'd think.. but only if you're annoyed by scratches on the camera body, caused by the strap lugs. They wrap around the strap lugs, with the strap going through them. In this way, the point of contact between the lugs and the camera body is shielded by those protective "flimsy bits" :)
The PD system is amazing in itself, and more so for mirrorless systems where weight doesn’t go overboard. But you do need to check the wear on the clips now and then, and replace them as per PD recommendation. As for the strap lugs, standard type straps and those protective bits, they are quite good to have - I’ve been using them on my hand strap and there are no marks whatsoever on the body. Yes, camera is a tool but I for one like to take care of my tools and enjoy seeing them in good shape. Even more so when the price point is that high, it’d kill me to have a brand new camera all scratched up in one year of use. But then again I’m not a pro and my gear sits in the bag more than out.. if I’d make money out of my shots then yes, the approach would be the same. Until then, my camera gear gets baby-level protection :) Nice videos btw, thanks for sharing!
Subbed for the sleek content. Appreciate the absence of coffee, Baywatch montages etc (and "my hands are so enormous I must drag them along the road" comments) :)
I appreciate the no BS first impressions. I actually picked up an X-T3 because I don’t shoot video. Take your time with the full review and I’ll be waiting until then!
My X-T4 will be my all-around camera, as well, with my X-Pro3 being my EDC. I thought about keeping the X-T3 as a back-up, but I can utilize the X-Pro3 as a back-up in a pinch... the X-Pro3 isn't going anywhere! Going to set it up in a few... can't wait to put it through its paces.
Perfect, I will receive mine next week! Maybe you could make a special video on how to VLOG with the XT4? I ordered it with the 16-80mm F4, but I want to buy one more lens for VLOGGING. I remember from your videos that the 16mm f1.4 is slow and bulky, so I thought about the 16mm f2.8, what do you think? Basically which lens would you recommend for vlogging?
Awesome! I shoot cinematic with the XT3 and I still love it but these XT4 unboxing/impressions are always in my recommended. I can't take it no more... anyway, thanks for sharing these! Nicely done.
Some people seem to have serious problems with the IBIS when slowly moving the camera around an object. The sensor seems to make jumps in that case. Seems not to happen with panning and tilting. I don't know if they have a faulty camera or if its a problem, if it can be fixed via firmware or not. But they claim to say they DIDN'T use DIS (IBIS Boost) and its better with native lenses and terrible with 3rd party lenses.
Hi Roman, This is one of the best straight-to-the-point review. Everything you said was clear and very well spoken. My huge compliments 👌👏 for you. I canceled my X-T4 preorder and keeping my X-T3. I did bought the X100V because of its simplicity and design. I hope to receive it in a couple of days. Lot’s of greetings, Dennis 🇳🇱
You are the 1st to bring up the downside of the flip screen for video. I will always have a mic plugged in. I want to use this on a gimbal. There is a cable from the gimbal where I can control the cameras operations from the gimbal handle. I’m assuming it would plug into the USB-C port on the camera. Which might be a problem if I have to use that port for my mic? Thoughts?
Nice video. The X-T4 definitely has a lot going for it. I'm 99% photography so will be sticking with my X-T2 and X-T20 for a few more years at least as they are doing everything I need. I'm going to spend my hard earned money on the three new Viltrox lenses instead :) Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Great video Roman! This camera is so close to perfect that Fujifilm is going to have a few headaches trying to improve it for a foreseeable X-T5 and It leaves Fuji as the indisputable king of APSC -if it wasn't already-. Now they should re-vamp some of the lenses so they're better suited for all those videos capabilities they're implementing in pretty much all their cameras. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video, everything you say is spot on. I recently traded in an X-H1 and two X-T3's for two X-T4's and I'm so pleased with the upgrade. I shoot stills and video so this is going to make my life so much easier.
Bang on initial thoughts Roman and whilst the want is in me, because it's new and shiny, many of the features you touched on there would make no difference whatsoever to my photography. Certainly I don't think in my opinion enough change to justify the cost and I use an XT1 as a second body now, but think a second XT3 when I can afford it. Mirror systems, easier for me to get to grips with. Thanks as usual for taking the time to share your thoughts mate, keep well and keep safe.
I held up buying the XT4 when I was able to get the XT3 with battery grip for free. I will wait to see how Fuji tweeks the XT4 and may get it at a later date when I can get it with a free battery grip or better deal. I have found that cameras are so good today that I feel no rush to get the newest and latest. But I still would like to see what the XH2 will bring. One thing I like about Fuji is how they have sales with deals on their equipment. I just have to be patient and keep an eye out for them.
📷 Fantastic review, so informative. Many thanks. As a photographer who seldom shoots video, you’ve sold me on the ‘3’. The screen of the ‘4’ concerns me, in respect to the rotating pin support; and being a flip out screen, it would be less discreet on the street. Dave, old boomer, Australia
Great video review Roman! Loving you content and honesty, can you please confirm the type of strap you are using to carry the 70-200 lens please? #Londonlovesyou
Whats wrong with the picture in 11:14 ? Its not sharp in the corners, very jerky even with IBIS. Quite suprised actually how bad it looks. Did you do some compression?
Great content Roman keep it up. Have an XT3 and am very happy with.I think it I’ll wait till the XT5 before considering an upgrade. Also bought the 50-140mm on your recommendation it’s class glass!!
very nice review. thanks ever so much. I've had my XT4 for about a week and a half and I'm loving shooting it. Most of what I plan to do will be either with Canon FD lenses, or Rokinon Fuji mount cinema lenses---all hand held. The IBIS is a big improvement over the X-H1---a camera I love! But the X-H1 body is far superior. I have small hand, but still the X-H1 is so much better to handle. (I really want an X-H2!!!!---FUJI, I hope you're listening). Never, the less, this one will do till that comes along. Thanks again for a great review, well-presented, and well organized.
thanks for this - excellent first look. I use my X-T3 as back up for my GFX50R and to do some video so I don't think I'll be an early X-T4 adopter. I'll likely wait until the price comes down a bit or Fuji has one of its offers going or see what an X-T40 will be like.
Don't you think that removing the input jack is a non-sense besides the fact that you can't use a powerbank to fuel the camera? Besides the fact that introduced the hot swap for memory card: pointless if you can't power it for a longer time if you have to adapt the microphone over the usb-c. they also removed thedetachable side door...is a non sense for me...do you agree?
I’m thinking of getting the XT4 and making my XT3 my second body. Is the weight of the XT4 that much more than the XT3? And if I swap back and forth, is the images similar?
I’ve always wanted a Fuji camera, the tactile controls and film simulations seem fun to play around with. I have an A7II right now and looking to upgrade. I could get a new A7III with a tamron 28-75 f2.8 for cheaper than a new XT4 with the 16-55 f2.8. Would you still recommend the Fuji over the Sony for that price? (sony about $100 cheaper) I plan on using it for 50/50 photo and video, namely travel and music videos on the vid side. I was leaning heavily toward the Fuji because of the smaller form factor for travel but the Sony is actually lighter comparing the two setups I mentioned, as full frame! (1262g vs 1200g) Edit: I only have the kit lens for the A72 so no need to worry about switching brands and converting lenses
@@snapsbyfox it's not awful but for video and gimbal use not ideal. Also xt3 is lacking in video department. I suppose that's where the subjectivity is, as a photo camera it's not super relevant.
Which lens do you recommend to buy with the camera for and advanced amateur photographer if you only can get one, I have a doubt betwen the 23mm f2, 35mm f1.4 or some zoom lens such as 16-55mm or 16-80mm?? Thank you very much for your time. Great content I have just subscribed.
@@snapsbyfox Good to hear you think it's much improved from the X-H1 too, that's been my RUclips camera for a few months and I wasn't that impressed with it. Subbed :)
Thank you and great video. I am a Panasonic G9 user and have a few of their top peices of Leica glass. I am primarily a backpacker in the U.S.A. I backpack into the backcountry of Wyoming in the Bridger-Teton wilderness and also the Uinta high wilderness in the state of Utah for opportunities to photograph landscapes, landscape features, nature and wildlife when it agrees to be photographed. I will usually spend a week or more minimum alone and I have to pack food, gear, photo and photography support equipment. I originally went with the G9 because of lighter weight equipment and affordability. I am having issues being happy with the low light performance of the M 4/3 system and thought a step up to a Fujifilm specifically to try and help remedy that situation. I would plan to carry my G9 with my Lumix Leica 100-400mm f/4-6.3 long lens for longer photo possibilities in lighter times of the day. I had thought to maybe try the XT-3 or XH-1 with just a single wide faster weather sealed O.I.S lens or even a good prime with the wider angle and the same attributes in weather sealing and O.I.S. for landscape and nature. Unfortunately the XT-4 is out of reach for me at the moment. Is there a lens body combo that you might suggest for my situation? Thank you.
It’s a beast camera, although I don’t see the point to get an xt4, if you’re only taking photos….it has superb video features, but in photo quality it’s the same with xt3, with the Ibis being the only difference…if you’re only taking photos just buy an xt3 or xh1
Thanks for your review. It helped me decide as I do both photos and videos. I have been using Nikon DSLR, Sony Mirrorless and Lumix G85 and looking for a camera with better performance and image quality. I think Fuji can provide that and the X-T4 will meet my needs. I was wondering what lenses you would recommend to go with the T4. I have been using a zoom lens only (Sony/Nikon 18-270 APS and Lumix 14-140 Micro 4/3) as I want versatility and travel as light as possible. I notice the zoom lenses for Fuji are limited. What would you recommend? I use camera for weddings, family event and grand kids and for traveling. Any thoughts would be appreciated... Thanks ...Harv.. Also does the camera have a built in flash?
X-T2 was the best built camera Fuji has produced.. not meaning to start the MIC vs MIJ debate but I saw the return rate of X-T3s in comparison to the previous two models ..
Great review mate!.. i got a question about the record limit on the xt4, in the review you had said you tested out the battery by recording on both the camera simultaneously, and the xt3 lasted an hour bfor it went off but the xt4 lasted more.. does that implies the xt4 has limitless recording time? like the new sony cameras?..
Sound love your thoughts on build quality. The X-T2 was solid and dials felt firm and consistent. I tried several X-T3 and the dials felt like lower quality...ISO dial was normal resistance, SS was loose and made a pop cap sound when pressing lock/unlock SS button. Rear command dial was VERY tight. I went to the X-H1 and the build is amazing. I would like to know how you would compare the build/dials of the 4 to the 3 and X-H1. Thank you for your video. I’m a subscriber.
Very good quick review Roman, you just convinced me not to get this camera (Hahaha) and just keep shooting stills with my X-T2, maybe I’ll look at the X-T3 when (and if) the price comes down. Stay safe.
Greetings Mr. Fox. Wonderful assessment on the XT4. Just coming off from a Nikon system, I've decided to go Fuji as my next set of photography gear but for hobbyist purposes only. May I inquire as to your recommendation given that: 1. I'm not a Vlogger (Or at least I haven't delved into the hobby yet) 2. LCD construction issues (of which I've always heard from reviewers that the tilting screen would be more ideal for photogs) *Question: Would you still recommend the XT4 (Provided that improved AF, IBIS and that 300K shutter actuation somehow gives me more security with the unit over, say, an XT3/X100v combo)?
@@snapsbyfox Thank you for responding Mr. Fox. I see. Sometimes though I'm drawn to XT4's new features: - IBIS (For low light/night photography without tripods) - Better AF (Is it? VS the XT3) - Longer batt life - More secured eye cup(?) - And that 300,000 Shutter life actuation *Do you think these 4-factors are reason enough to choose the XT4 and worth the sacrifice for that LCD tilt screen preference to be less conspicuous on the streets? *As for considering the X100v as a 2nd body should I go for it as well, I like how its 23mm (v.2.0) features which renders sharper "close focused images" VS the 23/2.0 lense and, also, it "maybe" beneficial to have a 2nd body. What do you think? *Lastly, have you shot street photography using the XT4's LCD flipped out? If so, is it really more difficult to be less conspicious? *Thank you again, Mr. Fox.
Thanks for this video man. Found an X-H1 used in pristine condition for £400 and was about to grab it but this video helped me out because you said the IBIS wasn't great. I have an X-T30 which I just bought and I'm slightly gutted it doesn't have IBIS so I thought the X-H1 could fill that void but I'm probably going to hold out for the X-T4 by saving a little more. It's quite expensive but at least I don't have to worry about lenses!
Good unboxing / first experiences review. Lots of info, good lenght. Think I will skip this one. Unless it gets really cheap, like the H1 did.. still hurts.. 😅
So, for someone who's looking to get into the Fujifilm camera line and is not interested in video. You would suggest getting the X-T3 ? Also, for the X-T3 how long/how many pictures does it take to empty the battery ? Great video
i owned the xt3 and would highly recommend the xt3 if you dont shoot video. but with saying that the xt3 also takes some amazing videos. the video features in the xt3 are one of the best . only thing it was missing for me was ibis for video which is why i sold mine and have ordered the xt4. if you have the money and you think you might get into video in the future itsa good investment
I would like to buy a camera, would you recommend the x-t4 at the end of 2020 (hoping that this damn year will pass soon) thank you, excuse my English I'm Italian:)
Please help to solve one of my main problems... i have now the new xt4... I want to customize two different profiles to skip as I want... one of them 24 p/ 48ss to make the most of the shots... anda another 60p/ 120ss.to make the B rolls..... do you know how can i configure this?? Like canon and Panasonics... c1 and c2
Excellent Overview mate. Can't wait to order mine, I sold all my Sony A6400 gear and moving over to XT4. Does it break the files into 4GB chunks like before? I hoped put longer record times past 30mins but not a deal breaker
@@snapsbyfox the type of SD card matters as well depending on whether it FAT32 file format or exfat. Subbed to you channel, good to see another brit on the scene👏🏿
I'm a hybrid event shooter but the flip screens aren't for me, I never video myself and just can't get used to them being off center. Credit Fuji for having the photo video switch it's so important if you are hybrid shooting.
Flips screens aren’t just for blogging. The tilt it proves can give you incredibly flexibility when using gimbals (screen isn’t blocked and it is actually in front of you since you use a gimbal to the side of your body) photography as well for those crazy angles especially vertically shooting from near the floor or really high or mounting the camera on some weird angle. I don’t vlog but I can’t see myself using a camera without a flip/tilt screen!
Thanks for another great review Roman. In my case I doubt I will shout at 1/5th of a second much, but do you think your pictures are sharper say at 1/125th with the 16-55 thanks to IBIS? If so, thats already a no brainer even for photography only :)
@@snapsbyfox looking forward to those pictures ;) cause of bank holiday ill have it 5 days to loan it for free. So happy with fuji connect loan service. Check it out if you want to try lenses for free.
2:25 they're to protect any metal parts of your strap from scratching your camera, and are completely unnoticeable once your strap is on. Shame you threw them out.
Hey man i just orderd the xt4 but idk which lens to get should i get 16 f1.4 or f2.8 or the 23f1.4 or f2.8 because the focal lens isn't a big deal for me of this two i just want the best for my RUclips studio
That's easily the most useful X-T4 review I've seen. I'll be using mine for everything from macro to landscapes so thank you for the tips!
Couldnt agree more! Glad about the eye af comment. Really looking forward to test it next weekend! Have a feeling that it will be the decisive factor for me. IBIS is a plus but I very rarely shoot at less than 1/125 with static subjects...

Great vid Roman! now we're going to wait on the street pov on X-T4 then 💪🏼
what a fun review! i cant wait to pick up my xt4 when the stay at home order is over!
Ex-Canon user here, just upgrade to FujiFilm XT-30 from basic Canon. I really love it, the pictures is amazing and detail. I think I will stick to this camera for quite a long time
Stopped the video and wrote this comment after hearing: there will be no 120fps and long intro. My man.. Thank you!

Which lens do you recommend to buy with the camera for and advanced amateur photographer if you only can get one, I have a doubt betwen the 23mm f2, 35mm f1.4 or some zoom lens such as 16-55mm or 16-80mm?? Thank you very much for your time. Great content I have just subscribed.
Good stuff mate, mine should be on the way, super excited to get my hands on it!
@@snapsbyfox Good to hear you think it's much improved from the X-H1 too, that's been my RUclips camera for a few months and I wasn't that impressed with it. Subbed :)
Thank you and great video. I am a Panasonic G9 user and have a few of their top peices of Leica glass. I am primarily a backpacker in the U.S.A. I backpack into the backcountry of Wyoming in the Bridger-Teton wilderness and also the Uinta high wilderness in the state of Utah for opportunities to photograph landscapes, landscape features, nature and wildlife when it agrees to be photographed. I will usually spend a week or more minimum alone and I have to pack food, gear, photo and photography support equipment. I originally went with the G9 because of lighter weight equipment and affordability.
I am having issues being happy with the low light performance of the M 4/3 system and thought a step up to a Fujifilm specifically to try and help remedy that situation. I would plan to carry my G9 with my Lumix Leica 100-400mm f/4-6.3 long lens for longer photo possibilities in lighter times of the day. I had thought to maybe try the XT-3 or XH-1 with just a single wide faster weather sealed O.I.S lens or even a good prime with the wider angle and the same attributes in weather sealing and O.I.S. for landscape and nature. Unfortunately the XT-4 is out of reach for me at the moment. Is there a lens body combo that you might suggest for my situation? Thank you.
@@snapsbyfox Thank you.
It’s a beast camera, although I don’t see the point to get an xt4, if you’re only taking photos….it has superb video features, but in photo quality it’s the same with xt3, with the Ibis being the only difference…if you’re only taking photos just buy an xt3 or xh1
Begins with "don't worry"
Me: you have my curiosity and attention Sir
Welcome to the club mate! 🤗
I wish canon weren't so tight lipped. I need to know everything about the R5 before I buy this.
Josh D. They’re gonna be completely different price ranges. The R5 will slot in the 5D pricing.
Thanks for your review. It helped me decide as I do both photos and videos. I have been using Nikon DSLR, Sony Mirrorless and Lumix G85 and looking for a camera with better performance and image quality. I think Fuji can provide that and the X-T4 will meet my needs. I was wondering what lenses you would recommend to go with the T4. I have been using a zoom lens only (Sony/Nikon 18-270 APS and Lumix 14-140 Micro 4/3) as I want versatility and travel as light as possible. I notice the zoom lenses for Fuji are limited. What would you recommend? I use camera for weddings, family event and grand kids and for traveling. Any thoughts would be appreciated... Thanks ...Harv.. Also does the camera have a built in flash?
X-T2 was the best built camera Fuji has produced.. not meaning to start the MIC vs MIJ debate but I saw the return rate of X-T3s in comparison to the previous two models ..
Some in the know would give that title to the X-H1. It was a very robust camera with leaf shutter mech..
Any suggestions for a lens to pair with the xt4 for vlogging and cinematic? I was thinking the 16mm 1.4 but any thoughts would be appreciated
16mm 1.4 is gorgeous, pairs nicely with the 35mm 1.4. The 23mm 1.4 is also a beautiful lens.
Great review mate!.. i got a question about the record limit on the xt4, in the review you had said you tested out the battery by recording on both the camera simultaneously, and the xt3 lasted an hour bfor it went off but the xt4 lasted more.. does that implies the xt4 has limitless recording time? like the new sony cameras?..
Sound love your thoughts on build quality. The X-T2 was solid and dials felt firm and consistent. I tried several X-T3 and the dials felt like lower quality...ISO dial was normal resistance, SS was loose and made a pop cap sound when pressing lock/unlock SS button. Rear command dial was VERY tight. I went to the X-H1 and the build is amazing. I would like to know how you would compare the build/dials of the 4 to the 3 and X-H1. Thank you for your video. I’m a subscriber.
Excellent review Roman...those leather floppy things at the beginning will stop your camera getting too scratched up by the camera strap rings!🙈🥳👍😎🇦🇺
thank you, so useful and to the point! you make great videos!!
Cheers!
Thanks for video Roman, i think xt4 great camera,but i keep my хt3 and wait for next generation of sensor i hope so they install it in xt5
As always good review. Thanks
Very good quick review Roman, you just convinced me not to get this camera (Hahaha) and just keep shooting stills with my X-T2, maybe I’ll look at the X-T3 when (and if) the price comes down. Stay safe.
Roman, enjoyed the video, Interested in your thoughts re choosing the black body rather than the classic chrome! Regards Tim
Greetings Mr. Fox. Wonderful assessment on the XT4. Just coming off from a Nikon system, I've decided to go Fuji as my next set of photography gear but for hobbyist purposes only. May I inquire as to your recommendation given that:
1. I'm not a Vlogger (Or at least I haven't delved into the hobby yet)
2. LCD construction issues (of which I've always heard from reviewers that the tilting screen would be more ideal for photogs)
*Question: Would you still recommend the XT4 (Provided that improved AF, IBIS and that 300K shutter actuation somehow gives me more security with the unit over, say, an XT3/X100v combo)?
@@snapsbyfox Thank you for responding Mr. Fox. I see. Sometimes though I'm drawn to XT4's new features:
- IBIS (For low light/night photography without tripods)
- Better AF (Is it? VS the XT3)
- Longer batt life
- More secured eye cup(?)
- And that 300,000 Shutter life actuation
*Do you think these 4-factors are reason enough to choose the XT4 and worth the sacrifice for that LCD tilt screen preference to be less conspicuous on the streets?
*As for considering the X100v as a 2nd body should I go for it as well, I like how its 23mm (v.2.0) features which renders sharper "close focused images" VS the 23/2.0 lense and, also, it "maybe" beneficial to have a 2nd body. What do you think?
*Lastly, have you shot street photography using the XT4's LCD flipped out? If so, is it really more difficult to be less conspicious?
*Thank you again, Mr. Fox.
So, are you gonna dump the Sony gear?
Thanks for this video man. Found an X-H1 used in pristine condition for £400 and was about to grab it but this video helped me out because you said the IBIS wasn't great. I have an X-T30 which I just bought and I'm slightly gutted it doesn't have IBIS so I thought the X-H1 could fill that void but I'm probably going to hold out for the X-T4 by saving a little more. It's quite expensive but at least I don't have to worry about lenses!
Are you upgrading to XT5 and make a review?
Thank you for keeping it straight to the point :)
Fantastic, fantastic review 👌
Good unboxing / first experiences review. Lots of info, good lenght. Think I will skip this one. Unless it gets really cheap, like the H1 did.. still hurts.. 😅
So, for someone who's looking to get into the Fujifilm camera line and is not interested in video. You would suggest getting the X-T3 ? Also, for the X-T3 how long/how many pictures does it take to empty the battery ?
Great video
i owned the xt3 and would highly recommend the xt3 if you dont shoot video. but with saying that the xt3 also takes some amazing videos. the video features in the xt3 are one of the best . only thing it was missing for me was ibis for video which is why i sold mine and have ordered the xt4. if you have the money and you think you might get into video in the future itsa good investment
Great video. Do you happen to know if you can shoot stills while videoing with the xt4?
The shutterclick button what did you put on it?
I would like to buy a camera, would you recommend the x-t4 at the end of 2020 (hoping that this damn year will pass soon) thank you, excuse my English I'm Italian:)
Can I ask. Is the LCD screen resolution better than the XT3? The XT4 is 1.6 Million vs 1 Million on the XT3. I wonder if you can actually tell?
@Roman Fox...the paint is thick.... how do you know this from an unboxing
Please help to solve one of my main problems... i have now the new xt4... I want to customize two different profiles to skip as I want... one of them 24 p/ 48ss to make the most of the shots... anda another 60p/ 120ss.to make the B rolls..... do you know how can i configure this?? Like canon and Panasonics... c1 and c2
the wobbliness with wide angle + IBIS just comes down to physics I think, because of how stretched the sides of the frame become.
Excellent Overview mate. Can't wait to order mine, I sold all my Sony A6400 gear and moving over to XT4. Does it break the files into 4GB chunks like before? I hoped put longer record times past 30mins but not a deal breaker
@@snapsbyfox the type of SD card matters as well depending on whether it FAT32 file format or exfat. Subbed to you channel, good to see another brit on the scene👏🏿
@@LoverOfTech ... got a new SD card? Put it in the camera and format them in the camera, IMMEDIATELY.
I'm a hybrid event shooter but the flip screens aren't for me, I never video myself and just can't get used to them being off center. Credit Fuji for having the photo video switch it's so important if you are hybrid shooting.
Flips screens aren’t just for blogging. The tilt it proves can give you incredibly flexibility when using gimbals (screen isn’t blocked and it is actually in front of you since you use a gimbal to the side of your body) photography as well for those crazy angles especially vertically shooting from near the floor or really high or mounting the camera on some weird angle. I don’t vlog but I can’t see myself using a camera without a flip/tilt screen!
Thanks for another great review Roman. In my case I doubt I will shout at 1/5th of a second much, but do you think your pictures are sharper say at 1/125th with the 16-55 thanks to IBIS? If so, thats already a no brainer even for photography only :)
@@snapsbyfox looking forward to those pictures ;) cause of bank holiday ill have it 5 days to loan it for free. So happy with fuji connect loan service. Check it out if you want to try lenses for free.
Good content! One question. How much Gb of one minute in 4k 60p
?
Wow, that 50mm 1/5 shot was with ois lens or not? And what's the longest exposure you managed to handhold with non ois lens on x-t3 and x-t4?
@@snapsbyfox thanks! Seems that ibis is really good though
Does the shutter dial in plastic material?
Good sensible review!
Great review.
2:25 they're to protect any metal parts of your strap from scratching your camera, and are completely unnoticeable once your strap is on. Shame you threw them out.
@@snapsbyfox haha... good. point. BUT, that's what they're there for. Just saying. Glad they included them rather than not.
Hey man i just orderd the xt4 but idk which lens to get should i get 16 f1.4 or f2.8 or the 23f1.4 or f2.8 because the focal lens isn't a big deal for me of this two i just want the best for my RUclips studio
