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.
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.
@@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?
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@IsobarBrokenFlame full frame body can go smaller, lenses can't because of optic laws. So full frame lenses will always big and expensive (more glass and manufacturing cost). Hence I don't see why APS-C can't survive in this market since they will always have the lens advantage. Only question is the phone competition with AI photography (fake bokeh, denoising, etc) which mitigate the limitations of small sensor and weak optics.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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! :)
2:44 - I have bought the X-T4 at the beginning of this week and shot ~2,980 frames in one day with it, on a full charge - granted most were burst shots, but goes to show that "rated XXX shots" is mostly bollocks and marketing numbers to one-up other brands. Most cameras are capable of way more shots than they are "rated" for on one battery charge.
Likewise you can get much less than the "rated" shots on one charge. If you use the screen a lot and keep the camera in "ready" (not sleep) mode most of the day.
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!
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?
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.
Brendan Fitness and Money canons new announcement coming July 11 if I believe it will be released with the r5, it will have the same sensor as the 1dx mark 2
Hello Kai …. Would you recommend XT4 with 16-80mm R OIS WR Kit lens for Streetphotography and for daily use ? I’m from India 🇮🇳 and it’s very hot and humid and dusty too almost although the year… so I’ve to ditch the weather. Need your advice 🙏🙏
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hi Kai .. Question At time 7:28 in your video while comparing the GH5 and the XT4, why is there a colour difference between the two? The GH5 colour is very nice and pleasing to the eye .. while the XT4 video looks dull in comparison. Is it because of the sensor differences or differences in colour sciences, or is it because of edits and colour correction during processing the videos? Also wanted to ask which of the cameras produced a more realistic colour? Please do reply. Love your videos. Hope everyone is safe. Lots of love from India.
@@tmrtyn Thank you. I just read my question I asked Kai again and I really didnt make sense. It is true that colour from both the cameras could be colour corrected according to the liking of the shooter. But in this video the video of the GH5 looks much better in comparison to the XT4. Much appreciated for the reply T.Knight.
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’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
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!
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.
I have not looked at cameras since I bought my X-T1 on release with the 14mm and 35mm. I can't decide if I should get this or a new lens. But, that 16MP sensor is showing its age.
I remember watching some Lee Zavitz videos on youtube regarding using canon lenses on the fujifilm x-t4 with the fringer pro ii adapter. Might want to check that out. Do you have existing canon lenses already, is that why?
Very capable camera, well built too. But, it just doesn't have the video capabilities of the XT3 or XT4, the sensor is a bit old and the AF is slightly worse. The Canon M6ii and Z50 are not in the same league as the XT3, XT4 or A6500. They're more in the XT30, A6400 category.
It doesnt matter how good the Z50 is. The last time nikon made high quality optics for its APS-C cameras was like 15 years ago. Unless you are an absolute beginner with who wants a point and shoot camera with f5.4 or slower optics you are fine. Or in the case you are going to mount it on dslr super tele lenses.
@@sebastiaanvanwater So true about the XQD. They are painful on the wallet, but are super fast and reliable. As for the screen I don't mind since I don't blog.
Maybe I sound too naive, but some of us like to do video without having the slightest intention of filming ourselves. Thus, the tiltable screen of the XT3 is a better choice. I truly don't understand what all the fuss is about. I find it difficult to believe that vloggers are going to go for something that much bigger than a phone. I've had an XT3 for a few months now and it works wonderfully for my needs.
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!
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.
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 looked at the pictures I took in 2013, old camera, first OMD EM5, slow lenses. THe images are pleasing and stellar. I switched to a newer camera, faster lenses and the results with the new camera are neither any better or more pleasant. Just working on a best images album, and none of my recent shots with my new gear made it there. Time, consideration taken for a shot, inspiration and the photographer skills are what matters. Sorry Tech geeks, this is bad news for you!!!
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.
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.
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.
I would choose Fuji over Sony for APS-C just because of the X vs. E lens lineups. If your going to have to pay for Sony's nice FE series lenses you might as well go full frame.
I have this camera.. it is an absolute beast. It can compete with and full frame under $4000. When it comes to video, nothing in its price range can even come close. The 400 mbps all intra is a feature you cannot find in any camera for this price range. If you're considering buying this camera... BUY IT. The only down side is that this camera requires a V90 sd card if you want to shoot video at 400 mbps. With V90 cards you pay at least $1.25 per gb
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?
He films vidoes a lot. Sony are great for that, have been good for a couple of years. For stills, all are about equal. I don't like the feel of Sony, the ergos or the menus, so as I'm not a pro, the enjoyment of use if a big factor and fuji wins for me there.
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.
First UA-cam video I can remember where the bokeh is actually distracting and annoying. Love ya Kai, but chin out of focus with lips in focus is an obvious photographer's goal, but for viewers it's a bit much. Focal plane in focus much too small in the segments with the white t-shirt. Great points on Sony vs Fuji!! Tried Sony but couldn't fall in love with it, although its AF is amazing. That rear dial that is horizontal and tiny drove me nuts, so Fuji it is :) Thanks for another great-content video! Love your humor.
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.
That’s a trick question, none of the cameras you showed in that photo were the a6600! The a6600 has a different shaped grip and a little oval shaped bit of plastic in the grip that runs vertical, not like the other a6X00 cameras that have a similar, but smaller, oval shaped bit of plastic near the top of the grip placed horizontally.
Thanks for the great review Kai -yes for me the biggest problem is price which puts it into direct competition with FF. Its a nice sentiment saying get the camera that works for you the reality is you will get more of the photos you want with FF-I have 100s of good photos that would be great photos if I had a FF.Also the lack of 3rd party lenses is a negative.
I’m definitely getting one... one day! But not today. I wait till they go on sale and aren’t the new price tag anymore. I bought a xh1 brand new still for $500 from b&h just by being patient and selling the extra free stuff that came with it.
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.

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.
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.
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?

Every time this guy says camera it sounds like he is saying Karen, and it’s hilarious!
Thanks for clearing that up 🤣
Haha I noticed that
OH MYYYYY KKKK
"Get the Karen that has the right features that you want!"
A Karen you can grip with all 5 fingers 🤣😂
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.
1700 for a high end aps-c, or 1700 for a entry full frame, the aps-c wins, hands down!!
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 :)
Hi Kai ..
Question
At time 7:28 in your video while comparing the GH5 and the XT4, why is there a colour difference between the two?
The GH5 colour is very nice and pleasing to the eye .. while the XT4 video looks dull in comparison.
Is it because of the sensor differences or differences in colour sciences, or is it because of edits and colour correction during processing the videos?
Also wanted to ask which of the cameras produced a more realistic colour?
Please do reply.
Love your videos.
Hope everyone is safe.
Lots of love from India.
Looks like that clip was filmed using F-log (Fuji's flat video profile). Don't worry Fuji colours are gorgeous.
@@tmrtyn Thank you.
I just read my question I asked Kai again and I really didnt make sense.
It is true that colour from both the cameras could be colour corrected according to the liking of the shooter.
But in this video the video of the GH5 looks much better in comparison to the XT4.
Much appreciated for the reply T.Knight.
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.
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
which one is best for low light ?
Would the XT-4 be good for landscape photos/videos on mountain hikes?
It looks like a great camera Kai, but the Micro-HDMI is not good, so I`ll stick to my GH5 & GH5s.
between Sony A7III and Fujifilm XT-4 which one will you choose?
X-T3
Canon
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
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!
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.
I have not looked at cameras since I bought my X-T1 on release with the 14mm and 35mm. I can't decide if I should get this or a new lens. But, that 16MP sensor is showing its age.
The xt1 is still a very good camera.
😂😂 your humor is great with the reviews, thank you!
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
Sir I want buy xt-4 and use canon lenses using adapter....so does it work perfectly with canon lenses or it has limitations ?
I remember watching some Lee Zavitz videos on youtube regarding using canon lenses on the fujifilm x-t4 with the fringer pro ii adapter. Might want to check that out. Do you have existing canon lenses already, is that why?
@@pcphotography9108 No sir Im planning to buy xs10 ...why I want to use canon lenses is only because fuji lenses are expensive.
And what about Nikon Z50 compared to this?
It doesn't have IBIS unfortunately.
Very capable camera, well built too. But, it just doesn't have the video capabilities of the XT3 or XT4, the sensor is a bit old and the AF is slightly worse. The Canon M6ii and Z50 are not in the same league as the XT3, XT4 or A6500. They're more in the XT30, A6400 category.
Z50 doesn’t have the awful x-trans sensor so that’s a big plus. Also, it’ll take nice full frame lenses.
It doesnt matter how good the Z50 is. The last time nikon made high quality optics for its APS-C cameras was like 15 years ago. Unless you are an absolute beginner with who wants a point and shoot camera with f5.4 or slower optics you are fine. Or in the case you are going to mount it on dslr super tele lenses.
@@EnterSpacebar The sensor, the processor and the focus system of X-T3 and X-T30 are the same!!!!
I’d get a Z6 , the video is not cropped and the 1.8 lenses are outstanding . Still the Xt4 is a dope camera .
Yep, I love my Z6.
No fully articulated screen though and I hate those pricey XQD cards.
But aside from that, all good. :)
@@sebastiaanvanwater So true about the XQD. They are painful on the wallet, but are super fast and reliable. As for the screen I don't mind since I don't blog.
Maybe I sound too naive, but some of us like to do video without having the slightest intention of filming ourselves. Thus, the tiltable screen of the XT3 is a better choice. I truly don't understand what all the fuss is about. I find it difficult to believe that vloggers are going to go for something that much bigger than a phone. I've had an XT3 for a few months now and it works wonderfully for my needs.
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!
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.
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?
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
Hello there, can we expect a comparison review between XT4 and Eos R7?
I looked at the pictures I took in 2013, old camera, first OMD EM5, slow lenses. THe images are pleasing and stellar. I switched to a newer camera, faster lenses and the results with the new camera are neither any better or more pleasant. Just working on a best images album, and none of my recent shots with my new gear made it there. Time, consideration taken for a shot, inspiration and the photographer skills are what matters. Sorry Tech geeks, this is bad news for you!!!
Very true, but for those less savvy when it comes to shutter speed, light, apature...for video i go with sony, stills I give it to fuji.
Thank you for this nice video! How do you think the X-T4 is going to do now that the X-T5 is out?
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.
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. 👌🏼
“Not Private” now ! :)
Yaaaa
Yea thought about that too
You have such a great personality. So fun to listen too while getting information.
I'm wondering if Fuji updated the X-T4 firmware in the last few months? That may have improved the continuous autofocus to equal Sony and/or Canon?
Not yet unfortunately
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.
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...
Kai on form here with a good and concise review with just a few witticisms thrown in.
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.
I would choose Fuji over Sony for APS-C just because of the X vs. E lens lineups. If your going to have to pay for Sony's nice FE series lenses you might as well go full frame.
After looking at multiple cameras for weeks now, this review helped me choose the Fuji over the Sony and Lumix! Thanks fella 👌
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!
Did u sell ur comb to buy that awesome camera? :D
I have this camera.. it is an absolute beast. It can compete with and full frame under $4000. When it comes to video, nothing in its price range can even come close. The 400 mbps all intra is a feature you cannot find in any camera for this price range. If you're considering buying this camera... BUY IT.
The only down side is that this camera requires a V90 sd card if you want to shoot video at 400 mbps. With V90 cards you pay at least $1.25 per gb
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?
What would you take though, Sony a7iii or Fuji xt4? 🤷♀️
I'm debating that. It's so difficult
Used the X-T4 for major shoots for Numéro and Vogue magazines...
Wait did you just confessed be a Sony fanboy? I just got myself a Leica m4p, darn Kai!
Right? I remember him shit talking Sony on DigitalRev. 😄😄😄😄
@@nelsondevera9178 cause it was trash back then!
he has been that for few yrs already
Cause you are smart and he is ... well ..... rolling eyes.
He films vidoes a lot. Sony are great for that, have been good for a couple of years. For stills, all are about equal. I don't like the feel of Sony, the ergos or the menus, so as I'm not a pro, the enjoyment of use if a big factor and fuji wins for me there.
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.
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.
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
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..
First UA-cam video I can remember where the bokeh is actually distracting and annoying. Love ya Kai, but chin out of focus with lips in focus is an obvious photographer's goal, but for viewers it's a bit much. Focal plane in focus much too small in the segments with the white t-shirt.
Great points on Sony vs Fuji!! Tried Sony but couldn't fall in love with it, although its AF is amazing. That rear dial that is horizontal and tiny drove me nuts, so Fuji it is :) Thanks for another great-content video! Love your humor.
Does it have a shutter angle option? So it adjust shutter to double the fps automatically like GH5.
I have been WAITINGGG for this. Thank you!
Your "Toneh" is a little extreme for my taste.
I love that this is a thing now.
Boke Bros -> Tone Bros
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.
That’s a trick question, none of the cameras you showed in that photo were the a6600! The a6600 has a different shaped grip and a little oval shaped bit of plastic in the grip that runs vertical, not like the other a6X00 cameras that have a similar, but smaller, oval shaped bit of plastic near the top of the grip placed horizontally.
Thanks for the great review Kai -yes for me the biggest problem is price which puts it into direct competition with FF. Its a nice sentiment saying get the camera that works for you the reality is you will get more of the photos you want with FF-I have 100s of good photos that would be great photos if I had a FF.Also the lack of 3rd party lenses is a negative.
I got the M6 II and two of the sigmas 1.4s. Those lenses of fujis would be amazing.
Sorry but if your photos are good, they would still be just good with full frame. A new sensor doesn’t make you a better photographer.
How do you compare the Fuji X--T4 vs the Fuji X100V ?
Is there a good speed booster for Fuji that can preserve autofocus?
I need the Fuji camera 📸 now 😭💕 Amazing video by the way 😘
I’m definitely getting one... one day! But not today. I wait till they go on sale and aren’t the new price tag anymore. I bought a xh1 brand new still for $500 from b&h just by being patient and selling the extra free stuff that came with it.
I have some slight issues with the x-t4 so I might just buy it and sell it when the next one comes out
