Switched to Fuji and sold all my Full-frame Canon gear for an X-T3. Almost two years in and I haven't regretted it for a second.
Hi there! I’m selling my 5D mk III and I’m considering getting the X-T4. Can I ask you a few things about the switch addaptation? Did the crop get too much in the way for you or was it just fine? How well does the sensor really works in low light? Like to shoot stars and other longer exposures. And this is kinda important to me, how many exposures can you make on a single frame? I really used this on my 5D and I’m trying to get as much information as I can about this switching. It’d be incredible if you could help me! Thank you!
@@kari_kakau I have both 5D3 (24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8) & XT3 (23 1.4, 56 1.2). Most of this applies to XT4.
Crop is fine if you choose the right lens. 23 (35mm equiv) is good for general purpose. I miss the zoom though.
Sensor is good in low light. I shoot ISO 3200/6400 a fair bit. It's noisy but the noise character is pleasant depending on film simulation. It's got a nice retro vibe.
5D3 is better at low light/high ISO although banding can be an issue.
XT3 long exposures aren't a problem. I took a few shots of coment NEOWISE with my XT3, pretty good overall.
The LCD is much better than the 5D3 live view for night shots.
Exposures/single frame? Not sure what you're referring to... multiple exposure mode? The default is 2. Not sure if it can be increased. I used it once. Need to play with it more.
You might want to consider the 5D4 if it goes on sale again (it should since the R5 is out). The sensor is much better than the XT4. Video is really good despite initial the reviews bashing 4k modes. There are some trade offs of course but you can keep your Canon lenses and use LR6 if that applies to you.
What about the full frame bokeh? XT4 costs same as A7iii
I know many people who would say the same thing!
@@kari_kakau Don't forget the xh2 is coming 2021
This review was excellent. No surprise. I think another selling point for me as I'm FINALLY getting back into photography is the lens size. I love to travel and the crop lenses can't be beat for portability.
Thanks! I feel better having my XT1 an 3 now. :) Glad you are still on UA-cam! I do miss seeing you and your buddy back in the days.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs
This type of screen may be good for video, but for stills, the flip up screen is much more convenient. It makes shooting "from the hip" (like with a medium format camera) way easier.
Fujifilm's XT line-up is a blessing. These cameras are so much fun to use.
Super fun. The only one more fun is the Blackmagic Design Pocket 6k----what a camera!
Sold my a6600 to purchase the X-T4 and it's the first camera I have ever fallen in love with. Beautifully designed and satisfying to use.
I'm on the same boat - what made you want the X-T4? How do you like it so far?
@@ealxele Classic styling, tactile knobs and dials, chunkier and more substantial body (overall better grip in my large hands), beautiful film simulations, and of course the "magical" XF35mm f/1.4R which I use 90% of the time. I found the a6600 too modern, sterile and clinical for my taste, and felt far too small in the hand for me to shoot with comfortably. How about yourself?
It’s always a good day when there is a new video from you!
On everything you need to do voice overs. You have an amazing voice
Got the xt4 about three weeks ago and best thing I’ve ever gotten.
couldn't agree more, what's your GO TO lens ?
witch camera did u had before?
@@sottosopra4769 I personally had a t6i with a kit lens. It was super limiting. My ideas of what I wanted to shot and edit to look like were really hard to accomplish. When I was on the market for a camera it was between the X-T4 and the Sony A7iii.
@@gustavoperez2130 I see. I tested the a7iii but I don t like the evf and sony cameras are too little
@@sottosopra4769 If you think Sony cameras are too little then maybe mirrorless cameras aren't for you. Might want a DSLR instead.
There is one very good reason not to buy the Sony nor the Fuji. “You already own a camera which is good enough.” That is probably true for 99% of your viewers.
so which camera do you have?
Aye, I've got a camera that came out in 2010 and it works fantastic for me. Also much cheaper to not buy a new camera xP
@@kombizz Pentax K-50, Panasonic GM5&GX9, Canon G9xII
X-pro1, 😁 I hope I'll have saved enough money by the time it breaks.
80D&Nex6 here..... Waiting for EOS R5 come out, and a6600 drop price in used market
...I don’t think I’ve ever imagined myself telling someone I loved their “skinny ass witch hands” but here we are. 🤷🏾♂️
This is the camera I plan to buy and have been waiting impatiently for your comments Kai
I kept seeing blurry backgrounds 10 minutes after the video ended
Commonly known as the kai effect
That’s the Toneh.
@@TheIkaika777 All I want is the perfect camera!! 😂😂

Nice video!
As a Canon cameras owner, I did consider the Canon EOS R and RP and also the Nikon Z6, but having been asked to cover some events (wedding ...), the dual-slot SD cards together with the great quality of Fujifilm lenses made me switch to the X-T4.
The RP got dual SD slots - SD and MicroSD. My main camera is the RP with a Canon M50 secondary and Canon EOS 650 35mm from 1987 for my film camera.
You have such a great personality. So fun to listen too while getting information.
I have been WAITINGGG for this. Thank you!
You are awesome bro! love watching your reviews, always get some good laughs along the way.. X-T4, Sold to the man in the Ollie suit..
I’ve got both the a6600 and XT-4. Auto focus on the Sony is fantastic, but that’s the only advantage of the Sony. For photography I always use the X-T4.
I have a Sony a6400, it's solid for filmmaking but I hate the colors for photography. This is the reason why I'm picking up a Fuji XT30 II or XT4
I’m planning to buy xt4 next month. Still a good choice in 2022?
@@eddiewongtl I really couldn’t tell you. I don’t have any concrete insider information.
Long term the APS-C format is likely to die. But it probably has another 10 years in it.
If I were you, I would checkout FujiRumours, they are expecting a new X-H camera to be released this year. Which might be of interest to you. But to be honest your lenses are your biggest investment, not the camera body. So workout which lens ecosystem you want to buy into before many any decisions.
I have so many XF lenses, that I can’t move without loosing ⅔ of the retail. So I’ll remain on the Fuji X system for at least the next 5 years.
@@IsobarBrokenFlame "Long term the APS-C format is likely to die. But it probably has another 10 years in it." Why is that? What would the the "successor" to it. Mobile?
@@Bear-cp9yx full frame bodies are getting smaller. So we are no entering a space where the different between APS-C and full-frame isn’t enough to justify full APC-C.
Also for those that really want something smaller, Mobile Phone are really starting to be very good.
"he must have been cold" was my first thought as well.
Kai on form here with a good and concise review with just a few witticisms thrown in.
This may be the best camera review I've ever seen. Definitely the funniest. Well do sir! I was already leaning towards the X-T4 but I'm sold now
I think it's either between this or the Lumix S5. From what I've gathered, the auto focus is better here, as well as in low light, yet the S5 has unlimited record time. Still learning towards this, since it'll be used for my B-cam at weddings, and the record time shouldn't be an issue.
Being intelligent/ articulate and really knowing your stuff already helps a lot. Adding some sharp irony and humour (although Kai had way more of that in the old team with Lok) sets those reviews far apart from the mainstream on UA-cam and cameras sites... In other words: some of the best camera reviews out there...
Oh, does Kai ever get older or does he belong to a genetically modified species who looks the same until they - well - evaporate?
Reasons 1-5: my extremely low income
I need the Fuji camera 📸 now 😭💕 Amazing video by the way 😘
Surprised he didnt mention the 10-bit video 😯 Sony definitely doesn’t have that on an APS-C cam
And 1080p 240fps. X-T4 is basically the only option for that.
I believe you can switch between which eye to focus on. You might have had eye autofocus on your left eye, that is why it did not focus on your right eye. I am not 100% sure, but that is how it is working on my X-T100.
2nd fujifilm camera for me. 1st from the x-T line. I'm feeling I won't want to ever upgrade from this. Lovely camera. Fuji's are really fun to use. The X-T and X100 lines are all aesthetically pleasing as well.
You say that when moving from Stills to Movie mode you can’t have the shutter speed different than on the dial. This is not true :) one really epic feature of the XT4 is you can enable “Movie Optimised Control” in Movie mode, which disables/ignores the dials and puts those controls onto a custom Touch Screen Interface. Not only does that make more sense for vlogging (so you can see what you’re picking) but that has the resulting effect of storing stuff like Shutter speed and Aperture for Movie mode totally separate from Stills. You can literally go from shooting a still at a fixed 1/1000, auto aperture, iso 160, to shooting a movie at 25p, 1/50, f2.0, Auto iso, at a flick of that Movie mode switch. It’s awesome.
I got the a6600 and love it, after carrying around a Canon 7Dmkii and a 200d for video, I'm a lot happier having one camera do both and my Camera bag only weighs 6.5kg.
I find after a couple of weeks I feel better not carrying a bunch of weight around.
The a6600 handles great too, point, focus and click the Sony is much faster than either of my two Canon DSLR's I don't want to go into a long post but its a great camera
I would be happy with the Fuji too.
I'm not hung up on brand loyalty whomever has the best camera to fill my needs gets the money.
Smallrig has a piece for the a6600 that puts the mic off to the side, thus freeing up a clear area for the flip screen. And it's cheap, like $15
One of the cameras I'm considering to buy. Not interested in its video capabilities, but its still shooting performance is what interests me. And those film simulations it has built in. The quality of the build and the dependability of the system overall. If it gets me what I want, that's all that interests me.
Did you buy :)
Great video, thank you for sharing!
Yup, this is my next camera, probably when the X-T5 is released. In the meantime, happy with my X-T2.
Same position for me and even then, as I shoot 99% stills, it will be hard to find a real reason to change.
Traded my canon for the xt2 best decision i made! Might get the t4 once the t5 is or the next XH camera
Me too. I've had my X-T2 since early 2017 and just can't imagine shooting with anything else. But when it dies, and eventually will, I'll upgrade then to the next Fuji up the line.
Likewise. I’m shooting with an X-T1 that I got a year ago. Had thoughts about m43 for the ibis but decided it wasn’t important enough at the time. This is the complete package.
Migi Peralta hi there! I’m in the middle of a tradding point from a 5D mk III to Fuji, could you tell me if the weight is really a turning point? [I’m thinking of getting an xt3 or xt4 but just so I know from someone who has made a similar switch before]. Do you like it to shoot in low light [like to star-shooting]? I’d appreciate if you could help me out, thank you! :)
Thanks for the helpful review! Would you recommend the XT4 or the Canon EOS R for simple talking head UA-cam videos. I am hoping to create a great cinematic look to the videos. Thanks!
I also agree that for photos especially from the hip the tilt screens are much better. But I LOVE to be able to close the screen fully…
The Fujifilm X-T4 would be an almost perfect hybrid APS-C camera if it had the less fiddly Panasonic S1H tilty/flippy screen that avoids the ports and has the best of both worlds. Also went backwards from Japan to China build quality and rubbery flaps rather than the removable doors of the X-T3. Gotta love IBIS and film simulations though!
I love the street photography videos kai keep up the fun work
Have you seen the old one he did early in the morning? before he went on his own?

Hi! Love the video! Wanted to know what is your main Microphone? Best regards
Hit the nail on the head. Small lightweight bodies with small lens feels perfectly fine. I love my X100F. If it had any lens bigger than what's on it, however, we'd have a problem.
Hey you're back
I always liked Your videos, style and humour and above all realistic reviews. That being said every time I watch Your camera reviews all I am thinking is: don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it... :)
Great video...very happy with my xt4
Bout time you re-uploaded this!
Cheers Kai. I think you just saved me several thousand pounds! I have an XT3 and many lenses but as an enthusiast doing everything from portraits to sports, maybe, just maybe, I already have all the kit I need and a full frame kit won't actually help......
"Wow, the dude must've been cold." LOL.
After looking at multiple cameras for weeks now, this review helped me choose the Fuji over the Sony and Lumix! Thanks fella 👌
Thank you for this nice video! How do you think the X-T4 is going to do now that the X-T5 is out?
Hello Kai and everyone else reading this. I have a question for you. I want to buy a (full frame, most probably) mirrorless camera buy I absolutely do not care about video recordings or the video capabilities of the camera. So, are there any cameras that focus* only or mostly on photo shootings and it's qualities and which you may suggest?
Thank you greatly!
Are they going to have pixel shifting so we can get a 100mp still is what I want to know. I'd never need anything else then. Currently have an X-T3 kit and a Nikon FF kit. Too much gear.
I am a Leica shooter. I got
The XT 3 and sold it for a XPro 2 and a few lenses and then I got the XPro 3 the day it came out. Love them both. But I am partial to my M246 and M10. They are all my babies.
Do we worry about sensor temp in 4k video mode? I saw a video where someone measured this and was quite alarmed. Is that nonsense and stuff not to be worried about or a genuine concern. Serious question because I have no idea, just because a camera can do 4k is uncool if using it frequently harms the sensor and impacts life of the camera or still IQ etc.
I wish Fuji would use the flip screen on the X-T100. It flips out to the side for vlogging AND can tilt up in a single motion for low-angle shot behind the camera. It's a shame they didn't use that screen mechanism for their other cameras.
"wow, the dude must've been cold!" LMAO
Would you know if a usb splitter will work with the x-t4 so that you can charge it/put on gimbal and monitor audio at the same time?
I started my channel a year ago and this whole time I’ve been using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. But I’m starting to consider this Fuji Xt4 🤔
I just bought the X-T4 the other day. It definitely feels great in the hands.
I had the x-t1 for a few years and upgraded to x-t3 last year. Couldn’t help myself with upgrading to the x-t4 which I’ve had for a week now and I LOVE it. The shutter is smoother, that IBIS, and video quality. 👌🏼
The a6600 has a smaller buffer than the a6500, but that's probably a good thing. The Samsung NX1 did pull off 15fps, though.
It should be said, that while the full frame cameras aren't much more, once you start adding in lenses the extra expense can pile up. I haven't looked exclusively at Fuji lenses, so take that with a grain of salt. Just something to think about.
Oh hey, that "professional sprinter" is Usman from Sonder Creative, his channel is great. He had an excellent review of the Hasselblad 907X and CFVII where he was doing a shoot for Billingham. The guy is legit. Obviously he also has some content about the X-T4 as you would expect seeing as he was at the event. More serious tone than Kai's stuff but very high production values and good perspectives from a working pro.
Not sure if you’re testing us but I counted at least half a dozen different hair styles. I’m OCD so I notice strange things like that.
A lot of people choose the fuji because of the colours (especially in JPEG) are better (IMO) than Sony's. Yes Sony's can be sharper in general, but they lean towards the blue side of the colour spectrum, which leaves a lot of photos looking cold and flat. Having previously owned a Sony A77 and D610, the dials and menu's on my Fuji XT-3 are a joy to use. Plus the Fuji just looks cooler IMO.
Ok guys! As a music video guy who only shoots about 1 photoshoot a month, should I get the GH5, X-T4, or the S1?
I NEED ANSWERS!
How much shallow depth of field do you want in this episode?
Yes
Hahahaha
price point is why I went with X-T3 with a fantastic kit lens at a phenomenal price. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
I’ve shot on nothing but a Canon 6D and RP for three years. I’ve really been feeling compelled to switch to something fresh and something with better quality video. I also have grown to love the Fuji color science over Canon
My man, you look like Tears for Fears circa 85 lol love it
Hi. Can I record on X-T4 + Ninja V without limit 10bit 4: 2: 2 60 fps and no overheating? How performance of AF with Ninja?
love your hat choices
Is it worth to upgrade from xt3 to xt4 because of a stabilization ??
Super cool video.. Like your quirky style
I have some slight issues with the x-t4 so I might just buy it and sell it when the next one comes out
I am still waiting for mine. Pre-ordered in April, may be delivered in July. Also waiting for my Sony ZV1 but that's not late, yet.
960 fps... you dawg
Great video - as always
Still waiting for Sony to produce their version of the XT4 because I already have some lenses. the a6600 just isn't enough to upgrade to in my book. I need at least a new sensor to upgrade my 6300
About to trade in all my Nikon Dslr gear and get the XT4. I was considering the A6600, but the prices for Sony lenses are astronomical.
Pretty sure this video is my favourite ever!!~
Brand new X-H1 in my country: 800 Euro. X-T4: 1799 Euro (body only).
Well, the X-H1 + 16-55 f2.8 + a couple of extra batteries is definitely a better choice for my needs than just an X-T4.
Keep in mind that the X-T4 weighs 610g, while the X-H1 weighs 673g and has a much more comfortable grip. It's a no brainer.
this thing is killer! been waiting for this version for some time and it's a damn shame I can't pick one up yet.
Same dude the Fuji have a look like no other
Same. I have an order placed in a store, but the silvers are back ordered all across America.
Got mine a couple weeks ago. I won’t be needing another camera for many many years to come because it’s really that good.
Hi
my macbook air DOES NOT SEE fuji XT4 in finder mode.
He sees in the "Photos" program. But I have a problem to import RAW files into my photo editor afterwards.
Do any of you have a similar problem and solved it? Should I return my Macbook for complaint? I will add that the lenovo thinkpad works flawlessly.
your hair looks amazing
which one is best for low light ?
Did you review the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8? It looks kind of unique for the price and weight/size at this focal length range.
Panasonic G9 has excellent fusion of stills and photo. And you already have a bunch of M4/3 lenses!
How does the sensor compare to the a6600? I k ow xt4 uses sony sensor but which is better? I think all around a6600 is the better camera
I was going to buy a Fuji this summer when I got bored staying home. But, I would be buying another system and lenses just cause I was bored. So, I ended up buying an a6600, since I already had a Sony a7r3 and lenses which I could use on the a6600. Very happy with the a6600.
Hey Kai, I'm thinking of buying the X-T4, but was wondering if I can use the X-T1 lenses on the X-T4 camera? Please advise...
Does it have a shutter angle option? So it adjust shutter to double the fps automatically like GH5.
If you love the gh5 video but not the picture taking capabilities, get the g9. The recent firmware upgrade made it a sexy little beast
Worth upgrading from the Xt2?
I take landscape photos the X-T30, which isn't weather-sealed. If it ever stops working because of moisture I'll upgrade to the X-T4, or maybe the X-T5 will be out by then.
Is there a good speed booster for Fuji that can preserve autofocus?
Hi Kay!! hi every one!!
i found myself in a dilema i'm about to buy a 35mm for my eos R but honestly i can't make up my mind between Ef 35mm 1.4 i L or Rf 35mm 1.8.
Can i have your thought and why?
Did u sell ur comb to buy that awesome camera? :D
😂😂 your humor is great with the reviews, thank you!
HEY Hello KAI :-)
Hey what were You Explaining About the Charging Problem Was with the FujiFilm X-T4 = AS Needing An Extra Adapter you have to Carry Around?
THANKS In Advance
"I'm going slightly mad" could be as the background music for this video. I'm totally agree with Kai, but price for this camera and size of the lens on it, makes me think about Nikon Z or Sony AR series as way better options. And, Kai, get Gordy's wrist stripe already...
what if i have and xt1 and want to upgrade would the 3 suffice for video purposes
So which is better for lowlight video?
Love you from Nepal ❤️❣️❣️
