  • Sold my Fujifilm XT4 recently. There were several reasons, not just the unreliable autofocus. It's still a very interesting system and I don't think you should sell it off. But here are the reasons I'm not longer a Fuji shooter in 2021.
    If you buy today's gear through my affiliate links, Fuji will immediately announce the XH2 with my dream specs, and my next video will be a 3 hour Christmas special of me crying in the shower. On the other hand, Viltrox 13mm f1.4 might be on its way to my house with no way to test it lol.

    I love Panasonic. It's the best autofocus if you are trying to simulate someone who's manually focusing but is not very good at it. And that should be the look you're all going for. It's the look of the future, and my S5 knows how to give it to me.

      That's actually an interesting perspective. Panasonic DFD has a very organic, almost charming way of moving into focus. (The only trouble is knowing when to stop. It moves a bit too far, then corrects itself, again a bit too much, then goes back, and on, and on 😭🤣🤣)

      Something grew in Kasey's eye, a new being. This being requires darkness, hence Kasey wears glasses now. The XT4 never liked the being growing in Kasey's eye. He didn't even wanted to focus on him. And Kasey chose the being over the XT4. It's a pretty sad story. But what's even more surprising is that Kasey ignores that his little being is actually a fetus. But this has nothing to do with the autofocus issue of the XT4. Hope this message helped.

    As someone who's first Fuji is the X-T4 the video AF is uhhh bad. Granted I don't really shoot video but the one or two times I do I'd like it to be reliable. I spent a lot of time looking at Fujifilm because I heard about the updates and support, so I went all in mainly because I like flippy screens and the bigger battery was a nice upgrade. I've taken it all over the place from the FL everglades to major cities it's been a great companion. I don't regret buying it, but I don't think it'll be the long term keeper I'd hoped for.
    I love my X-T4, but it's not even 2 years old and the ISO/Drive dial is sticking so when I change iso it'll change into some random shooting mode. When I change the mode back, it's moved the iso. So I'm now looking at sending a 18 month old camera in for service that'll cost who knows how much and not have a camera for a while.

  • @joshuatatro4503
    @joshuatatro4503 2 роки тому +6

    So the thing about the X-T4 and the supposed lack of "Kaizen" updates is that the X-T4 itself was/is just a physical update in the form of adding IBIS plus notably improved firmware to the X-T3. I know that's disappointing to many, but it's the truth: it's the same processing engine, same sensor, same AF system, same everything, except the X-T4 also has IBIS and a better battery. And you know what? When that same firmware came to the X-T3, it was like a brand new camera; suddenly it had sticky AF tracking (in photos) that blew what it shipped with out of the water. Suddenly its eye-detect AF was actually pretty usable. Suddenly it could focus down to -7 EV with bright lenses (and the list goes on). And that was after numerous incremental firmware upgrades already to a camera that launched two years prior in 2018.
    At some point you reach a wall in R&D where a) you reach the limits of what the existing hardware can do, and given that the X-T4 does overheat in certain use cases where the X-T3 didn't, I'd say that's probably true; and b) when you're a small company with limited resources like Fuji, eventually you have to start working on the next-gen hardware instead of continually sinking big chunks of your R&D budget into eking out minor improvements to existing hardware that won't actually make you more money through new sales.

    • @djchips
      @djchips 2 роки тому +1

      Yea pretty incredible how far the X-T3 came, it's one of the best stills cameras out there IMO. The -7 EV spec is more hand waving by Fujifilm marketing as that's with the 50mm 1.0 lens. Still, -6 EV at 1.4 and -5 EV at 2.0 is quite respectable for a 2018 camera.

  • @Hazard4Tactical

    Their app is also a major issue. Never connects, fails. So shooting yourself with it is impossible. And Fuji don’t have a remote sensor. Sony is much more reliable to set up, use remote and shoot etc. With A7IV at 10 bit with flip screen at same weight/size as xt4, Fuji apsc has less and less edge and ever lower resolution potential at similar prices.

      I notice all of them bring food at different thing. it just takes so much time to master them.
      I could be spending all my time on full frame but sometimes it's just easier to take my lumix sv70 out.
      (of my many cameras the olympus is the sexiest but the sony is the most capable)

    That problem Fujifilm has with the autofocus is apparently a common thing and it has something to do with the IBIS. I have a X-T2 and X-H1, and all do they share same sensor, processor etc., and the X-T2 is an old dog, somehow it has much more precise and confident autofocus than the X-H1...

    Kasey's next thing..... slow motion Parkour.. I think the medium format thought will frustrate you even more. It's really a photographer's camera, even more so than any other Fuji. I think Fuji should have waited for both the linear motor lenses AND the new stacked sensor before trying to sell a videographer camera. The only thing I see as an issue with an X-H2 is the size of the camera body. Unless, like I've heard, they create two versions and the video version has no EVF, only a flippy screen. I do see others using the X-T4 for video and not having as many issues as you seem to have. But, you're also purposely pushing the cameras you use hard. Anyway, we'll see what happens. Have a rockin' day!

      @@aliaswave If the body alone is going to deter to from doing photography and videography then that person probably isn't focused on top tier professional work or filming. I've used both the XT-4 and Sony A7 series and both felt fine in my hands. Nobody is flooding towards Nikon Z unless you're only into photography and was a Nikon enthusiast from before. Nikon is losing market share every year and lost about 5% last year despite the Z release. Canon is still trying to catch up and make tweak it's market placement. The R5 and R6 are starting to show good signs but plagued with the overheating issue and just high price point.
      They're still the market leader for a reason but more people who use them aren't using the new ones and keeping with their older DSLR models which honestly still hold up very well. You haven't given any evidence that shows SONY is "starting to fail" despite increasing it's market share and sales every year. If you're going to be realistic and honest about the camera market then think objectively as to what each company is doing right now and thinking in the future.
      Currently SONY's main draw is the fact that it offers A TON of cameras at different price points to fit a wide variety of customers similar to Canon. Their top end professional line is honestly superb and is what professionals gravitate towards with video work.
      Canon is trying to re-work their brand after becoming stagnant and lacking innovation. They still offer a wide variety of cameras, lenses, and price points similar to SONY and are looking to reposition themselves.
      Nikon is finally waking up to the 21st century and realizing that they may have been in a depression for too long. However the question most people have is "is it too little too late?" They keep losing customers every year and don't offer much to the younger consumer market. First-time buyers aren't looking to buy a Nikon camera and if this doesn't change they may end up like Olympus.
      Fujifilm is continuing to be a niche market for a niche clientele. They show moments of applause and care but then they go dark for years about next steps. Their small product line limits users and turns off some consumers since they're not continually producing cameras every year or two to their lineup whereas SONY and CANON can afford to constantly change and adapt. They don't have a top-tier professional camera line so they already eliminate people who are working towards that in regards to videography. APS-C is also a very limited scope that doesn't make enough returns for it's investment so far.
      The future is always in flux and things can change but looking at the past 4 years with market share, sales, technological improvements, brand awareness/recognition, SONY and CANON are the only two that continue to see substantial growth.

      @Honkus 2 роки тому

      I am referring to Kaizen updates, major feature updates to breath life into old cameras. Like when they added 4k video to X-Pro2 in a firmware update, when they added 120p video in X-T2. They now are doing plenty of bug fixes in firmware, like what they have added to the X-T4. They talked a lot in the pat about the Kaizen, but really haven't been doing much of it. The X-T3 got some updates, but not the full Kaizen treatment. That model still doesn't have all the film simulations and the abilities for saving white balance that the X-T4 and X-Pro3 have, which it shares the same processor and sensor with. They SEEM to be withholding some things to encourage upgrading to new models, the opposite of the Kaizen philosophy they talked about. Fuji has opted to roll out new models faster and not pay as much attention to the existing models which still have a lot of potential, like the X-T3. Hey have made a few confusing decisions with models. X-H1 was brought out as a hybrid, and then pretty much right away put all those hybrid features in X-T4 rather than making the X-H2 with these features and keeping the X-T line photography first like it had been. I wish great things for Fuji, they just seem to have lost their way a bit.
