I’ve been using the X-T4 for a little over a month now, and while I haven’t been able to get out and do some serious landscape photography with it, I’ve been able to use it around my home city of Lisbon and shoot some videos with it, so in this video I have a look at how good the camera is and what the essential differences are between it and the X-T3
If you’d like to join me for a landscape photography workshop in Italy or Iceland next year I’ll be co-leading groups there in 2021. Check my website for more information www.andymumfor...

@iamphil1598 4 года назад

I was considering this camera as an upgrade to my xt20 as I would love the better viewfinder. The flip screen would have been cool too. But I shoot only stills and no film + I need an L-Braket for vertical shoots which I do very often. But this flip screen will just not work with an L-Braket. It's not just the missing third party aftermarket solutions but just the locking mechanism of my arca swiss plate which will always be in the way to fully extend this new flip screen. So it seems like I will go for a cheaper xt3 instead. Let's see :-) Thanks for pointing this fact out as I could not find one other reviewer every mentioning this. So highly appreciated!

@elmachomen 4 года назад

Great video Andy! it is really a tough decision between the X-T3 and the X-T4 if you don´t do video work. The build quality of the later it´s meant to be even better than the already amazing build quality of the X-T3, it has a shutter that is rated for a life twice as long as that one on the X-T3, and then it has a bigger battery and the IBIS which is always good to have. On the other hand, the most important factor of them all, image quality, remains the same, that is, stunning. So I totally agree with your analysis, if video is not that important for you, save some money, buy a good lens, and get the X-T3. Keep up the good work and stay safe! Greetings from Scotland!

@giacomoehrhardt 4 года назад

Thanks a lot for your thoughts, Andy. You fed my decision process with arguments that really count (for me). I'm on the ledge between X-T4 and Z6, since the Z6 is offered in the same price range. I shall definitely sell my H1 together with its battery grip - for me this model was disappointing ... felt like a brick in my hand. So the question is: Change to FF or not? Your reflections on the topic made clear: FF is - for me - a myth. My good old, battered T2 delivers more or less everything I need and a little more, the IBIS was the only feature I appreciated with the H1 ... and the T4 gives me both: satisfying image quality, enhanced by the promising IBIS. Last not least, I've got the fine Fujinon glass ... thanks for the examples, andy, of great Images and quality. Once more I realized, what I knew all the time: It's not the gear, that counts, it's the man/woman, who uses the gear. I'm clear now: next step will be the T4.

@casperghst42 4 года назад

I don’t do video (at all), I would have liked the IBIS, but the screen was what stopped me. The X-T3 is for me in my situation much better. And yes, there are days where I’d love to have IBIS .... but the screen, the screen was a horrible decision for still photographers.

@AndyMumford 4 года назад

It's seems to be a love/hate thing. For anyone shooting video though a rotating screen was essential and not having one was costing Fuji sales. For example, to make this video on the X-T3 I have to set up the camera and keep moving around the table to adjust composition because I can't see the screen and don't know if my head is being cut off. Then, I have to set up a mirror behind the camera to be able to see if it's still recording (there's a 20 minute recording limit) as it's impossible to see from the front of the camera whether it's recording or not. There have been so many times when i've been recording a video like this and not know that the camera stopped has stopped recording, so I have to then record it all again.

Another very watchable video. I've dabbled in photography for years, but I'm focusing (sorry for the pun) more on it now. I don't shoot video and I mainly take landscape, travel and snaps so I couldn't justify the X-T4 and went for a secondhand X-T20 as a fuji starter for stills. I already enjoy using it more than my Nikon. I would have loved the IBIS and the larger EVF but I really want low weight and as few lenses as possible. You were one of the reasons I took the Fuji plunge, so thank you. Keep making these great videos!

@BrasicOne 2 года назад

I know this a year ago you posted this but still very relevant today. For the past year I have been looking to upgrade from the X-T2 but, as pointed out in your video, for my style of photography there’s very little gain for the investment in either X-T3 or X-T4. To be honest, the only temping features are a better EVF and deeper handgrip. IBIS would be useful for hand held but that’s mainly due to being to lazy to carry around a tripod and set it up. However, the EVF is an issue and also performance if taking high-speed multiple exposure, when the processing lag and write speed can be a limiting factor. But as you say not an issue for stills for landscape. In conclusion I decided to wait to see what Fuji launch this year. I do want a higher-res option without needing to go Medium format and shift to the XF set-up, but I’m pretty sure I’ll only justify upgrading to the X-T3 for all the reasons you say - plus it’ll become very affordable this year I’m sure especially if X-T5 specs are announced!

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment Paul. The X-T2 is still an incredible camera and one that really pushed the X line forward. Prices on the XT3 and 4 will drop for sure when the XH2 is announced later this month.

@EddieInzauto 3 года назад

Hey Andy, as someone who is an actual photographer using cameras as tools rather than a human embodiment of Lightroom more concerned with pixels, I know you care about the actual utility of your cameras. I have a super important question related to this because I feel the same way: Is the rear command dial on the X-T4 looser than the one on the X-T3? The X-T2’s was perfect. Smooth as butter. Loved it. Still love my old X-T2 more than any camera ever. The X-T3 rear dial drives me absolutely nuts; it requires almost as much force to turn it as it does to press it as a button. I click it in a solid 75% of the time I’m just trying to turn it, and the other 25% it’s still stressing me out. I can’t fathom why it was made this way. Almost ruins the camera completely for me. It just gets in the way of shooting and makes me not want to use it. I’m really hoping the X-T4 is MUCH looser.

@DmitryBrodsky007 4 года назад

I was between XT3 and XT4 recently and picked up XT3 instead. $500 price difference in the USA right now to me significant enough not to get XT4. 1) Sensor is the same. 2 ) 11fps vs 15fps: for me at least 10+Fps is usually good for 99% of what I need, 3) Autofocus of XT4 was put in XT3 in firmware 3.2, except EV-6 which I am sure Fuji will put in future firmware, they've done it before with EV- changing, 4) new battery is nice, but I already have 5 spares NP126, and economy rating does not make sense to me, everyone uses Fuji cameras in Boost mode 100% of the time anyway, 5) IBIS is nice but I don't do much video and it is not earth shuttering.

@frankb4483 3 года назад

Hi Andy, Early this year I bought the silver version of the X-T3 (I already own a X-T1), but I regret that because black text on a silver background is harder to read than white letters on a black background (without reading glasses). So I am thinking about swapping my X-T3 for a black version. But after seeing your video, I am not so sure about it. Perhaps its better to swap it for a X-T4. Ibis can be handy, instead of raising your ISO, your can now shoot with a longer exposure without problems and keep a better quality due to using low ISO. The articulated screen, maybe useful for video, is a minus for me but I think I can get used to it. So what do you think is a wise decision? By the way, due to Corona I did not shoot a lot this year, but after seeing your videos I always want to pick up my camera again and shoot. Thanks for the inspiration, your videos are great. Frank (from the Netherlands)

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

First of all, thanks so much Frank, I'm glad you enjoy the videos and find them inspirational. With regard to the X-T4 or X-T3, it really does come down to IBIS and the screen. Stabilization is great and does mean you don't always need a tripod, but obviously it has a limit and there are times when you still need a tripod to shoot. The screen? If you don't shoot video I'd say the X-T3 is better.

You’ve probably seen it by now but SmallRig has introduced an L-bracket for the X-T4 that has dumped that gawd awful wooden grip in favor of one that is textured to match the faux leather on the camera body. It looks pretty good-though it still has functionality issues with the flippy screen.

@AndyMumford 4 года назад

I have seen it and it's certainly an improvement, but you still can't remove the grip (I just don't like grips) without the base plate looking weird. It might be a little OCD of me and I might have to just accept it, but I'm going to wait and see

This is the 4th video of yours I have watched about the XT line of cameras, I am a professional photographer working in the states. I use a Canon 5D IV, with a full complement of lenses. I now recently want to start shooting some fine art landscape work. Would an XT camera offer me something that I cant get from Canon? Enjoyed the videos thanks.

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment. I don't think the XT cameras would give you anything you can't get from Canon, to be honest I don't think any brand provides something that another doesn't. I do feel that mirrorless cameras have significant differences to dSLRs and a lot of advantages, from weight and size to the shooting experience, but as for which brand, well every camera is incredible capable nowadays, so it really comes down to shooting experience and how much the camera gives to the creative experience, which is purely subjective. I personally find the Fuji cameras a delight to use, there's a tactile quality to shooting with them that really resonates with me and I certainly didn't find that with Nikon, which I used to shoot, but that is entirely my own opinion, and if you're happy with Canon cameras and don't feel you miss anything, then why switch?

Hey, Andy. I watched with interest as always and was not disappointed. My experience with the X-T4 has been really positive and I feel Fuji have improved what was an already pleasing tactile experience. One feature I do like is the C on the ISO dial which enables you to get ISO on the front command dial immediately. Put the shutter dial on T and you have full old-school manual control through the viewfinder. Also, I used the X-T4 with the 100-400 shooting - photographically speaking - seals at 1/500 sec. At 400% zoom, I was more than pleased with the results...Thank you IBIS. Good job, Andy.

And if I swap back and forth between bodies, are the images similar to the XT3? I was considering the XPRO3 but I think for my needs (portraits & headshots) the XT4 is a better choice. I also use the X100V for my street and environmental portraits. Would you say the XT4 would be a good choice for me? Thanks for any advice!

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

The size and weight are very similar and you’ll barely notice the difference. In terms of image quality, they are identical. When it comes to whether it’s a good choice for you, I really can’t say, that’s such a subjective and personal choice

I think the X-T4 has some great features, but for now, I'll stick with what I have. The image quality is fantastic and for me, that's really most important.

Hmmmmm, one or two people mentioned the audio, and other people have replied saying that it's absolutely fine for them. I record the audio at a decent db level and ensure it's consistent with the volume level I get from YT, and to me it's perfectly loud at 25% volume on my Macbook Pro with or without headphones. I'm really not sure what to say about it. As for the X-T4, if you don't need the IS then I'd say the 100-400mm is a better investment

Hi. New subscriber here. I am currently deciding between the two and this was very informative. And by the way...I am Portuguese, live in Lisbon, and the red doors you just photographed lead into the most beautiful bar in the world and my personal favorite: Pavilhão Chinês.

Dear Andy, I really like your photos. I have a question; I now own the Fujifilm x-t20, 10-24 mm, 18-55 mm and the 55-200mm. Is it worth it to upgrade to the fujifilm x-t4 for landscapephotography. Or would you choose for the Fuji X-t3? This summer we are going to Iceland, so I'm looking foreward to our holiday and making photos in Icland.

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

There’s not much advantage to the XT4 if you don’t shoot video, but wait until May when the XH2 is launched

The photo edit software you used looks fantastic, but maybe you just make it look easy. Is it made by the camera manufacturer, or can you drop a link on here?

@AndyMumford 4 года назад

Thanks so much. The software is Capture One Pro. It's superb with Fuji files captureone.sjv.io/c/1720808/514617/8798 I actually made a video about how to use it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--qDrcbdibSc.html

@donnamunn4941 3 года назад

Very informative video! This may be a silly question, but do you leave the lens OIS on or do you turn it off because the camera has built in OIS? I was wondering if it would do something funny with both on. :)

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

Thanks so much. The OIS and IS are designed to work together, and if you turn it off on the lens it actually deactivates it in the camera too

@airship9637 3 года назад

From what I've read, and it may be out-of-date, is that Adobe isn't set up to properly handle Fujifilm's X-Trans sensor which differs significantly from the Bayer filter array. Capture One does handle the X-Trans sensor images. Reportedly, the Iridient X-Transformer does a marrvelous job of converting the X-Trans files to generic DNG files which are then more readily handled by Adobe. Do you have any experience with this software? Thank you.

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

I've used Iridient X Transformer and it does make a good job of X Trans files, as does Capture One. To be honest though I've never really had a problem with the way Lightroom deals with Fuji files

I have the XT3 and XT30 so this XT4 would be the third camera with the same sensor. IBIS is the only real difference for me but I do not video. Meanwhile I also use my XT2 very often and must say that this camera still delivers. It does not feel old or obsolete in any way. If I would buy a new Fuji than maybe a XT5.

How do I turn this off if possible Thanks in advance Andy Yeoh

Not really sure, the only time I’ve seen that is with long exposures, and for that you need to turn Long Exposure Noise Reduction off

@mixeddrinks8100 4 года назад

XT40 is not going to have IBIS imo, just gonna get a flippy screen, bigger battery, better grip, considering the hump of the battery. Reposition the Q button, change the Auto switch to a video/stills switch. Add bleach bypass, better AF, UHS-II instead of UHS-I. Going to be even less of an upgrade from XT3 to XT4. Only difference will be they won't sell the XT30 with the XT40 considering the Q button is such a turn off. Probably change the position of the tripod hole too.

@AndyMumford 4 года назад

Maybe....I'm not sure that would be much of an upgrade though and might prove difficult to see.

@markbradshaw7753 3 года назад

Difficult time for me and this video is helpful. I’ve been Nikon full frame for landscape since 2006 with the 16-35,24-70,70-200and had a lot of success and the camera was like an extension of me. Fuji will never be like that as they are so complex in menu but like you I got fed up with carting my bad around so for street got x-70 and x-pro and love them and I’m at a time where I’m considering offloading Nikon as it seems daft having two systems and thinking of shipping all my gear out and going x-t3 for landscape and 16-55 and the 77 thread will fit my filters. I’m very nervous about this as I love my Nikon but I love my xpro too…

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Yeah, I was at that point too, knew I wouldn't carry two systems around with me and eventually switched over to Fuji completely. I actually find the Fuji cameras to be more intuitive than the Nikon now, and rarely find I even have to go into the menus

@DCFotographs 3 года назад

In your image processing, you showed the clipping highlights. When you pull the slider on C1 like that, does it bring the highlights down for the entire image? or does it just do for the red marks where its clipping? Do you edit all Fuji files in C1 or do you do C1 + PS? I appreciate all the help. I'm a Sony a7r4 shooter but i hate the colors, the feel and the weight of my kit so doing a lot of research/viewing of your videos before I sell it all but so far it looks like the switch is coming :) Thanks Andy!

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment. The red areas are the clipped highlights, so when you pull the highlights down that's what will be affected first (as they're the strongest highlights) but the more you push the highlights slider, the more the highlights all over the image are affected. I actually edit most of my images in LR simply because it's easier regarding storage, and occasionally use C1 for more complex images. Every image will go through PS for finishing though

@Ceko 3 года назад

@@AndyMumford I think you’re right but I was rather intrigued by the Nikon Df when it came out. Still, it had its flaws and came in a limited amount so that too was overpriced. I wish Fuji would do such a thing just to maybe try out. It’s too big a risk though I’m sure.

@MLA50 3 года назад

But here's the big question... With this image stabilization, does it mean you will no longer need your tripod for your landscape shots? If you still need it, then the image stabilization is useless for your use case. Another question, does the image stabilization , take the place completely of a gimbal? If not, then the ibis is not necessary

@AndyMumford 3 года назад

Well, it can't replace a tripod for all my landscape shots, but it certainly helps with a lot of them. And for handheld videos IBIS is really useful. It doesn't take the place of a gimbal, and nor is is meant to. A gimbal is meant for moving shots, but they are heavy, bulky and take ages to set up and balance....I would never take one with me on a hike or back-packing. IBIS gives the capacity to get decent handheld shots, which is really useful for anyone who shoots video on the go.

@alanbrunelle1546 4 года назад

Excellent as always Andy - since I personally don't do video and the vast majority of my shooting is landscapes-on-a-tripod (w/ some sports/birding for fun) I saw no need to go to the X-T4 (if for no other reason than the lack of a usable L-bracket you mentioned, coupled w/ the cable remote being moved back to the "wrong side" as you also noted). The X-T3 is such a "perfect" landscape camera - the controls are wonderful, the produced RAW files are amazing (as you noted), &c&c. A couple of very, very tiny things could be improved - for example: most of the time I use a cable release for the shutter, but occasionally I don't - just rely on the timer set to 2 or 10 seconds and then push the shutter and wait. It's all good, until the camera goes to sleep - when it wakes up it "forgets" that - and you have to re-enter. But all-in-all I am just so happy w/ the T3...

@AndyMumford 4 года назад

Ah, now a question like that is purely subjective and I can't answer it. I never really liked the X-H1 because it felt too big, and this has far better battery life than that camera. Still image quality is pretty much indistinguishable from the X-T2 or X-H1, so whether it's worth the cost really depends on you.
