A few weeks ago, I rented the much talked about Fujifilm X-T4. Although I was not able to analyze every feature in the new X-T4, I thought I would share some of my impressions of this camera. The following article is my review of the Fujifilm X-T4.
Sample Images:
What really drew me to the X-T4 was the introduction of the flip-out screen. The fully articulated screen on the Fujifilm X-T4 is a new addition for the X-series line of cameras. Also, perhaps its the hipster in me, but I just love how Fuji designs there cameras. It reminds me of those vintage film SLR cameras from back in the day. Below are a few sample photos I took from the Fujifilm X-T4.
What You Get:
Some of my favorite features of this camera were:
4k, 10 Bit Recording Modes from 24p - 60p
Full HD Recording Modes from 24p - 240p.
Outstanding Image Stabilization with static Shots.
Face Detection is fast and really sharp
Dedicated button for taking HDR photos.
Timecode that shows you how much time video you have left to record on the camera card (20:00, 15:00)
Improved battery life from previous versions.
Continuous Shooting at 15fps
The first thing I noticed about the xt4 was the small camera feel. Even with the zoom lens that I rented along with the camera, the body itself felt really small to me. This is really a plus if you enjoy small discreet cameras.
Another standout to me was the image stabilization in the camera. There was some wobbling in the corners of the image, but I didn't find it too distracting.
Cons:
A few of the negatives regarding the camera:
Shutter Sound is under whelhming / weak
It’s a a positive if you enjoy shooting in silent mode, but you want a shutter that has a little bit of sound to it.
No custom dial modes (C1, C2, C3)
Wobbly stabilization on edges
Intervalometer only in Photo Mode. Not in video
One of the drawbacks of the Fuji cameras are there lack of third party lenses. There are several adapters that you can use but I would like to see more manufacturers like sigma, Tamron make lenses for this mount
Occasionally, I noticed some missing video files.
Possibly due to me not formatting my card for this camera
Summary:
In conclusion, I think the Fuji X-t4 will make the perfect travel camera. The number of features packed inside this camera makes it flexible to carry on long trips. Overall I thought the Fuji X-T4 was a joy to shoot with. Especially if you’re looking for not only a great photo camera but an outstanding video camera as well.
