Fujifilm X-T4 Mirrorless Camera Body - Black

My wife and I are long time Fujifilm camera users, having started with the X T1 and X100 (we now have the X100V). As each new model of the X Tx series as been released we have generally upgraded and the X T4 is the current best they have produced. My wife upgraded from the X T2 and I upgraded from the X T3 and we have a good range of lenses (from our 23mm prime to the 100 to 400mm Zoom). We mainly shoot still photographs, so the video features are not the main reason we use this camera but it is very competent.Pros:1. IBIS makes using my 16 to 55 f/2.8 (the sharpest lens in my collection but without image stabilization) safer and ensures sharper results. Testing showed I get about 5 stops of stabilization. I can shoot at substantially slower shutter speeds.2. Improved auto focus performance. Not as good as my Canon R5, but more than good enough for the majority of uses I have, even some fairly challenging wild life shots.3. Beautifully made and is a camera that makes you want to take pictures.4. USB C socket in camera charging.5. Longer battery life with the new NP-W235 battery. I easily get a days shooting with the new battery, whereas the older battery would often need to be changed for a fully charged one 2/3 of the way through the day.6. Superb out of camera JPGs and video.7. New 'floppy' screen is more flexible for those awkward shots and video.8. Feels more responsive.Cons:1. Slightly changed body size and shape, so none of the original cases fit the camera.2. That new battery means all your older batteries are no longer usable, so you have to buy new spare batteries (luckily my X100V uses the older battery)..3. External charger not included in the package.4. Auto focus and tracking trickier to setup than it should be.5. Headphone socket requires a dongle (provided).6. Expensive. You can now buy a full frame camera for less than the cost of this camera, however the lenses for this camera are lighter, smaller and cheaper than the equivalent full frame lenses. Think of the total cost of the system rather than just the cost of the body.Summary:If you have the X T2 or earlier, this is a no brainer upgrade. If you have the X T3 (which is still available) you need to think more carefully about whether the improvements are worth the inconvenience of buying new batteries and a new battery charger. A lot of Fujifilm lenses have OIS, so the IBIS is a nice luxury but I love the way it improves my shots for that 16 to 55 f/2.8. Note also that the sensor is the same sensor that is in X T3 (it is an upgrade from the X T2 which has the 24.3 MP sensor).If you are looking to get into serious photography, the quality and output from this camera is amazing. APS C cameras ultimately have built in disadvantages with respect to full frame cameras (noise due to lower light gathering capability etc.) but this camera produces amazing pictures with very low noise for a smaller sensor. Note that lenses for APS C camera are smaller and lighter than their equivalent full frame lenses, so they are very good for wildlife. The 100 to 400 mm lens I noted above is the equivalent of a 150 mm to 600 mm lens in the full frame world, which pulls in some great shots. Those lighter lenses mean you are also more likely to have them with you than their larger (and more expensive) full frame counterparts.Overall this a beautiful camera that is a pleasure to use. This is one of those cameras that gets out of the way when you want to take pictures.

Probably the closest thing to the perfect hybrid camera. The X-T4 is the best camera for those who like me take photography and videography seriously. It is an amazing little package, the video is amazing, the photos are amazing as well, the system includes all the lenses you need.The Stills/Movie dial is genius, it cleans up the menus and makes everything much easier to setup quickly. The ergonomics are improved from the X-T3, the battery life is doubled, the new shutter is quieter and rated for 300,000 actuations. The IBIS is fantastic as well.To be honest, the autofocus is great and works very well, but it's not near Sony or Canon, but Fuji is always working on it and it will keep improving it. I'd give it a solid distant third place in performance behind Canon as of right now.If you're going to use this camera mainly for video, only a few lenses work as expected and pull focus smoothly, accurately and with minimum focus breathing according to Fuji, the 18-55 F2.8-4, (which is my main video lens) the 50-140 F2.8 and 10-24 F4.0. So keep that in mind when choosing lenses.If you're using this camera for stills, this camera is the best APS-C camera on the market and it gives some more expensive full-frame cameras a run for their money. The way the lenses render color, sharpness and contrast is fantastic. Any XF lens, even the "kit" lens is a fantastic piece of kit, so select your lenses freely because all of them are fantastic.

This camera is absolutely perfect in almost every way.- beautiful images- easy intuitive interfaces for beginner, advanced , and pro users.- video quality is top notch- new flip screen is ideal- has touch screen- Fuji has a great lineup of lenses to accommodate every use case- high frame rate capture rates are incredible- very well thought out and fully capable camera.- small and compact in comparison to full frame DSLR’sFuji has made improvements to make this a thoroughly rounded camera that does both photography and video very well and makes it worth investing to go beyond what a smartphone can do.Only caveat- the smartphone app that enables wireless transfers to phone could still use more improvements to make it a more frictionless user experience, but easily the easiest thing for Fuji to fix. The hardware and UI/UX on the camera itself is spot on.*Highly recommend!!FYI - moved to APSC format coming from a Nikon full frame format for the last 15 years. Have been waiting for the right camera to do so, and highly believe I’ve made the right decision.Now who will buy all my Nikon lenses and bodies... 🧐

In particular, the hand grip wasn't large enough (I have a medium-size hands), so I had to purchase a hand grip bracket separately. Same with the shutter release button - without a separately purchased one, it was quite uncomfortable to use. Especially for someone who came from a Canon DSLR (I didn't need to make a single tweak to improve my EOS 7D ergonomics - it was pretty much perfect out of the box... except that it's, of course, way bulkier and heavier than the mirrorless X-T4 and there's nothing you can do about that :)). That being said, after spending around $50 to get the extra accessories, I am very happy with the ergonomics of X-T4 and it's very comfortable to use now.Not going to write a tech review of the camera itself - there's a plenty of those available online, but FWIW - my experience with it thus far has been extremely positive: it survived a pretty rough travel with lots of sand, mud, salty ocean wind and splashes, heavy rain, etc and the weather sealing worked flawlessly! I love all the camera features and, of course, I got lots and lots of amazing footage - both stills and videos - out of it!
