Thinking of the Fujifilm XT4? Save your money! Consider the XT2, XT3, or XH1.

- With the release of the Fuji XT4, it got me thinking if it would be worth the upgrade. I'll be honest, I'm normally weak and I love new gear, but this year I'm turning a new leaf and sticking with my gear until there's a major reason I need a new camera.
Since I already have the Fujifilm XT2, XT3, and XH1, I thought it'd nice to chat about them compared to the new features of the XT4.
While the XT4 looks great, since I already have a full Fuji stable, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they'll release something killer next year for the XH2.
And for those considering making the move to Fujifilm, the XT2, XT3 and XH1 are excellent choices right now since you can save a ton of money second hand, so look at your local Kijiji or Craig's List.
I ran into some audio issues, so I promise better audio in the next vid! And a big thanks in advance to the awesome UA-camrs I follow and borrowed the clips from. Hope that's ok! Please check out their channels!

Wowza! Kudos to UA-camrs -- making these videos takes forever! haha
Ran into some audio issues, so I promise better audio and planning for the next video. Just needed to get started, you know?
I'm sure I missed a lot of good points, so let's discuss and chat about Fuji/camera gear. I love nerding out on this stuff.
And thanks to the UA-camrs I borrowed clips from. Please check out their channel in the description.
We're new on here, so if you have ideas for next videos let us know!
And if you watched to the end, many thanks fellow camera nerds. Cheers!
UPDATE: I was trying the XH1 with the 18-55 and there was no jump in panning, so that's win!
Thank you.
About the sideway flipping screen: on professional videocameras, the screen is also sideways/off center. I think the X-T4 is Fuji's answer to the rising demand of youtubers/vloggers. Yet I see everywhere videos that say to not buy the XT4 and go with the XT3 (I don't mean your video). Most youtube filmmakers go with the first shunned then loved Canon EOS R...so there's really no place for Fuji in the vlogger's camera arsenal. But to add to the screen poblem... when using the camera in a cage, the screen becomes completely unusable if you dont use an external monitor, but not all situations allow for a big rig with external monitor... I use the XH1 for video and photo work and I absolutely love it. Sometimes the size bothers me, but this camera is just so comfortable to hold, with or without batterygrip. XH1+batterygrip+16/23/35mm F2 and you can shoot all day long.
My suggestion to people would be: XH1 if you shoot professional handheld videowork and professional photography, XT3 if you shoot video on a gimble, XT4 if you vlog or film yourself at a desk.
One last point: I don't get Fuji's product strategy lately. They released the XH1 in early 2018 as a flagship, then 6 months later the XT3 with better specs EXCEPT IBIS was released. Now they release the XT4 with everything better AND IBIS but they still label the XH1 as flagship. The XT4 should have been the XH2 to be honest. If they come out with the XH2, what specs is it going to have? 8K internal, 6K 600fps? A brand-new AF system? More MP? It will take at least two years until the XH2 because of the XT4. Releasing an XH1 body with XT4 specs would be an underwhelming move for a flagship camera, but I digress.
Mind. Art. Creativity. Thx for taking the time to comment! And I agree with you on all points. Like any piece of gear or creating art in general, it’s all subjective you have to think hard about what tools you’ll need to create what you’re creating.
And for the Fuji line up, I know eh? It seems like the xh and xt line will just end up being the same as each other spec wise leaving the decision coming down to if you like the more DSLR body/handling over the xt body.
I love my xh1 for wedding days where it’s long shoot day’s so the ergonomics is better for video. But I like my xt3 for walk around and photography days.
Guess we’ll see what Fuji does! I’m also excited as I hear more 3rd party lenses in the making for Fuji. Should be cool to have some other options.
Stay safe!
Tuan
Hi man! I'd like to have your opinion since I'm not really sure which one to get. I'm torn between xh1 and xt3, these days, secondhand xh2 with battery grip goes arounr $850 and secondhand xt3 body only goes around $800-$850 and a brand new xt3 sells for $950-$999. I mostly do stills and portraits and I travel a lot using fuji 56mm 1.2 and 18-135mm lenses. can you give me your thoughts? I currently have xt2 and I'm selling it for the upgrade. Thank you!
Kx Jake hmmmm... good question. I think it would come down to ergonomics and weight.
The xh1 feels really good in the hand because of the dslr styling and the shutter button is so satisfying. The ibis will also be nice if you want the extra steady shot or wanted to do video here and there. But it is a heavier body.
With the xt3 it’ll handle the same as your xt2, just snappier.
So if you can handle xh1 then you can see if you like that styled ergonomics. If you like how you’re xt2 handles, then get the xt3.
Or, the xt2 is also a nice cam so perhaps wait until the prices of the xt4 drop and then jump on that.
I think you’ll feel it’s a bigger upgrade jumping to an xt4 if you can. Your xt2 should be more than capable for now.
Just my thoughts! Keep me posted on what you go for. :)
-Tuan
A Xt-4 is $200 more than the Xt-3 so I feel for two hundred dollars you're getting a lot more. Flip out screen, 240fps, bigger battery, better weather sealing, etc. The Xt-4 seems like a good deal to me.
I hear ya. I was referring to a used xt3. Then you save about 1k so it’s worth considering. However, if money isn’t an issue or they are comparatively priced where you live, then for sure the xt4 is great.
I mean it’s great anyways! I was just trying to convince myself I don’t need one right now lol.
Cheers!
Tuan
@@AtomicPixel That is the same thing you say when you own a Leica.

I love how quiet the shutter on my X-H1 is when comparing it to my old X-T2. It honestly makes candid photos for me much more doable since people don't tend to notice the camera much when snapping photos.
You could always go full electronic shutter so it's silent, but yes, I know what you mean. The xh1 shutter is also really satisfying so it's like you get to hear it but it's not obtrusive to the rest of the world. :)
For some reason this is the best video about this camera I've seen so far. Maybe because you talk calmly and it wasn't a pain to listen.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! That really means a lot since this was my first video and I find I speak too fast or sometimes stumble on words. Thanks for the encouragement and I promise my videos will get better! haha
Right now I'm working on a video to quickly compare the sound from the Rode Videomicro vs Deity D3 vs Tascam Dr05x vs Sony ux560. Stay tuned!
So true!
Or that he isn't trying to sell us something new.
Just trying to do more with what I’ve got! :)
Atomic Pixel And I appreciate it. So many channels are so focused on new gear to push referral sales these days. It's hard to know of they're being honest or pulling a used car salesmen routine.
Agreed. The X-T3 is still a beast! Definitely still worth getting, especially with the price drop.
Some great deals on the used market right now. 👍🏼
Thx for taking the time, Dylan!
-Tuan
Started my fujifilm journey last year with X-E2 and X-T1. I love shooting with them. The X-E2 is my daily carry with a 27mm. X-T1 is my more serious shooter for events. I think the X-T4 will be my jump up to replace the T1. Thanks for the video.
Ahhh sweet! You’ll notice a huge improvement in autofocus and overall speed during boot up and usability going from xt1 to xt4. Definitely worth the upgrade in your situation.
Let me know what you think of it if you snag one up! Cheers, Jaime!
-Tuan
It isn't a deal breaker to me, however I wish the X-T line kept the non-flip out screen setup, and the X-H line had the flip out screen. Obviously a screen that is some how and X-T3 screen and a flip out screen in one is the solution that gets approval from both camps.
Fanjan I agree. Something like the Panasonic s1h or a screen that simply flips up 180 would do it for me.
WHO FACKING CARES FLIPS OR NOT.
I just got an Xt2 and honestly it still does a great job and right now it’s about 450 USD body only. I use it for architecture photography work and basic video work. It’s a joy to use and it gave me more room for lenses and other equipment that makes my workflow better.
Sweet! That’s the idea - buy for what you need. Now, I’ll be honest, I did end up picking up an xt4 around Christmas because I found a good deal and my wedding video work has really picked up this coming year.
I’ll have the do an update video to this one. Surprised this vid still gets views haha
Welcome to the Fuji fam and enjoy!
The weather resistance and IBIS alone should make that XT4 worth it, at least for me it is. :/ but to each their own.
That’s fair. But I could argue that I have that with my xh1.
Just saying if you can manage to find a good used xh1 it would save a lot of $$.
But if you have the money to spend, the xt4 is dope!
Stay healthy friend!
-Tuan
@@AtomicPixel Yeah, thats a good point. For anyone who doesn't mind buying used and wants features that line up with the new XT4 then a second hand XH1 is a good buy.
I''m unfortunately one of those people who prefers to buy new, at least for electronics. i just never really trust the used market, people will say anything and you never truly know how it was treated.
EuropeanLegend yep, and that’s totally fair. I think if we all had the means then new would be preferred! :)
@@europeanlegend9347 There is used camera retailers that sell checked equipment if your hesistation is private sellers. Sites like KEH.com or MPB.com check all the used equipment they sell, and even offer warranty and return policies. Basically like buying new in terms of service. I've exclusively bought from them and my X-T2 is truly like new, as they listed it. And then I mean,it comes in a box, without a single spec of dust or sign of used. Mine had 6000 clicks haha.
Do what you want, but I figured I'd share considering not everybody knows this and people think used = shady guy on Craigslist.
I think you'll end up buying the 4 anyway :-)
Just Me Hahahaha shhhhhhhh. Don’t jinx me!
you need to edit the title to
"Thinking of UPGRADING to TX4...."
as a non Fuji User TX4 is finally a camera I can buy.
All before did not have in body IBIS
Hey! The xh1 has ibis. It’s a beaut.
No right or wrong when it comes to buying a camera. All comes down to what you like, need and budget.
If you get an xt4, let me know what you think of it!
I had the Xt3 and sold it. I do mostly portrait and detail shots, and I need to crop a lot to deliver highlights of my shots. With the XT3 the RAW file had this worm looking grain when zooming in up close. Does anyone know if that was fix on the camera or is it something that has to do with Lightroom? I don't think I recall this issue with Jpgs though that by the way look great SOOC
Gaston Shutters Hey Gaston! I hear ya. It def is an issue, although it seems to be with Lightroom as you don’t see the problem is Capture One.
That being said, LR is part of my workflow so you would think Adobe or Fuji would fix it. I think issues like this is why some fans say to switch to the Bayer sensor bc the raw files are easier to work with.
My work around with the files in LR is to put the sharpening mask way up so it just captures the edges or I don’t sharpen at all. I don’t like my images to be overly sharpened and if I want a sharper look, I do it with a touch of texture or clarity increase.
So what do you shoot with these days?
That's just LR, there are tuns of vicei's fot that... With a raw converter plugin such as iridient, there's no issue at all. Even with the new firmware, i barely have to convert and i'm amacrophotographer, so cropping and details are my main issues. The XT-3 is a piece of magic, i even bought te XT-30 as back-up and sometimes i find that one even better :-)
@@thebikingphotographer3042 Thank you guys.
I own 2 xt3s with the grip and an xt4 I use the xt3 more than the xt4 I agree with most of your points you don't need to switch it mainly down to the tilt screen because when it comes down to it I prefer the tilt screen for real-estate portraiture and gimbal work but I do have to say as a person starting my own photo business so far I have been never let down by my fuji equipment
On a side note I see fujifilm releasing the xt4 as a compliment to the xt3 because most pros have 2 cameras and the xt3 and xt4 work great together just like the a73 and the a7s3
Thanks for your insights! Now that the xt4 has been out for a while, I think the main benefit that I personally would use would be the dual sd recording. This would be nice for weddings to have backups.
But, I’m still going to hold out and keep my fingers crossed for the xh2 and see what happens.
Part of me is very interested in the old canon c100 mark ii. Guess we’ll see what happens!
Question: If I could choose between a used X-H1 in very good shape for around 790 $ or a brand new X-T3 for around 1.030 $ (without taxes), what should I choose? Of course I'm primarily thinking of video skills and IBIS. On the other hand, I would work a lot with a tripod, and I was using Panasonic's G7 (no IBIS) before and always had good footage filming from hand with OIS lenses. So to break the question down: Should I worry that the X-T3 with OIS lenses (e.g. the 18-55 or the 50-230) is worse than the G7 + 14-42 kit lens? Thanks for every answer!
Bernhard Madlener hmmmm.. great question! So maybe in your case if ibis isn’t as important, my next question would be what style of camera/ergonomics do you prefer?
The xh1 is bigger, more DSLR style which makes it nicer for longer shoot days because of the grip.
If you want the best quality and pixel peep, then you want the xt3 since it technically does have a better sensor and the quality is nicer even in HD. But, I think you’d be hard pressed to notice the difference if not seen side by side.
Here’s a vid it shot of my wife for a client product shoot (aija is wearing the black dress outside). All were handheld with the xt3 and 16-55. The orbiting shot around the car was with a gimbal, but handheld other than that. Actually, all the videos for “ooobaby” were xt3 handheld.
And yes, I realize some are quite shaken but I wasn’t being super careful with those (girl in black top). I wanted to add some energy to the clips.
Have a look: www.atomicpixel.co/videographer-london-ontario
@@AtomicPixel thanks a lot for your answer. I really would like to have the IBIS but I'd probably won't need it very often. You've got a lot of good shots with X-T3 + OIS, so maybe that's my way, too. Being a little bit more future proof than with the X-H1 for a little more money...
Bernhard Madlener buuuuuuut, Fuji doesn’t have many lenses with ois so chances are you’ll have to rig out the camera so it has a little weight.
Sometimes I shoot with the xh1 without ibis too since it can jump when panning.
I would say choose the body style you like because as much as I love the xt3, I love the ergonomics of the xh1 and the shutter.
I know I’m maybe not helping but trying to give you things to consider! :)
Hey guys 18-55mm to be inconspicuous & cary less weight VS 16-80 for weather resistance & more reach ???
Hey! Are you asking or saying? Lol
I just made a video on those two lenses. Is that what your referring to or is this sheer coincidence? If so, check out my latest vid to my thoughts on them. :)
I got the X-T3 pretty recently. I’ve been loving it so far!
Welcome to the Fuji fam! :) I made a video on settings so if you’re not using the command dials to change your shutter and iso, I would check it out. Makes shooting easier and faster!
As a photography enthusiast rather than pro, I had decided to finally upgrade my far outdated Canon DSLR. A friend recommended I look at the Fuji XT series. I saw the feature list for the X-T4 and thought that may be an option. After looking at what's on the market in the price range, I finally decided to go full frame with the Sony A7R iii. I wanted the additional resolution for various projects.
John Zerbe No right or wrong when it comes to cameras in my opinion. You gotta go with your gut and what speaks to you!
Camera gets pricey and the last thing you want is buyer’s remorse. The Sony is a beast in its own right, so enjoy, my friend! :)
The vertical tilt screen is my absolute fav on the xt3. I wish Sony had that. I could never ever do a fully articulating screen, but that’s my style of shooting and opinion!
Nicholas Nguyen ehhhh dai ca! My viet brotha.
That tilt is super handy for photography. It really surprised me!
Stay healthy buddy,

Hi.. what lens is on both cameras? and does stabilisation work if you use manual focus 3rd party lenses?
Hey! In the first sequence, I believe it was 23mm f2 (silver), 35mm 1.4 and 56 1.2.
I think (not 100 since I don’t have the adapter) if you use something like a fringer adapter, it can use ois from a Third party lens.
But it depends on what you’re doing and if you mean for photo or video. If for video, you can handhold an xt3 just fine. Add some weight to it to help remove micro jitters.
Having ibis for video is ok for static but can be jumpy when you’re panning so there are times I turn it off. You just have to get used to the tools and what kind of shots you’re trying to get.
Hope that helps!
T.
Have the XT2 since it came out, the XT1 too, like you bought the XH1 for peanuts and am happy with it. Do I need XT3 / XT4? Want yes but need... no. I'll rather spend that money on lenses and wait for prices of those cameras to drop.
Agreed! If someone got me one I’d never say no! Hahaha
Can’t wait to see what they do with the XH2!
I know this is an old video, but I found a brand new xt-3 in box with the kit 18-55 with three batteries, the fringer ii ef adapter and less than 50 shots on mechanical shutter for 900 bucks. Finally sold my x-t1's
That’s a solid find! I’m sure you’ll love it!
XT2 has been killing it for photojournalism/ sports for last two years. will probably have wait until XT5 comes out before i can afford an XT4, but even then 100% of what i do is stills
I hear ya! If the xt2 works for what you do then save your money bro! Just enjoy :)
Switching from canon 70D to Fuji ???...What would you suggest fir a body and or lenses . . I primarily shoot jpegs and occasionally raw files . I mostly shoot real estate or landscapes close up stuff as well . Any advise would be great thanks
Hey Michael! The xt3 would be great for that. I use the xt3, 12mm rokinon, 16-55 and 35mm for my interior/real estate shots. You can see some samples in both episodes of my Fuji lens talk. Or on our site directly if you’d like to see more interior specific shots.
You don’t have to get the 16-55. I just love that lens. The 18-55 would be ok too.
I use the 12mm for tight spaces, 16-55 at 16 for most rooms (it looks good at 16 without any distortion) and then the 35mm 1.4 (f2 would be great as well) for the detail shots of textures, faucets etc..
Hope that helps and let me know if you have further questions. Shooting interiors and editing the photos is on my list of videos to make.
Keep me posted to what you end up choosing!

what's the best option ( value/money ) among them in 2023 ?
haha funny enough, now in 2023 it would be the XT4. Even though I'm tempted by the xh2 and xh2s, I'll likely pick up another XT4 for my wedding and commercial work.
It has great image quality, the F Log assist is a must for me, great battery life. The one thing the xh2 series has that I wish the xt4 had is no time limit when video recording.
This vid is so helpful for getting into the mid-range Fujis, thanks for the info and for the CDN prices haha. I’m eyeing down an XH1 w/ battery grip for about $1000 right now
+ if it (XH1) gets a final IBIS boost after the XT4 release it’s just going to be insane
Glad you found it helpful, bro!
If you can find a used xh1 for 1k, I’d go for it! I’m hoping fuji will update the ibis as well, but I don’t think it will happen.
However, I’m finding if I’m a little less steady then the ibis doesn’t jump as much. And with the 18-55 there is no jump and super smooth because it then gains the stabilization of the lens.
Either way, solid camera so I love it. I use it for my video works even though the xt3 quality is a touch better.
Cheers!
-Tuan
Atomic Pixel As a follow up, that $1k X-H1 is no longer. In your opinion, would you go for a newer X-H1 w/ grip at $1300 or an X-T3 at $1400 CDN? Would the future proof tech of the X-T3 be worth the $100 difference? Cheers Tuan~
Aidan Chan ooooo tough call!
2 things:
1. Do you do more photography or video?
2. The handling is different for each. Xh1 more dslr and heavier. Xt3 more semi range finder like. Thinner and lighter. No real grip like the xh1.
Atomic Pixel I’m way more video-centric, about a 70:30 split. I might fall in love with stills shooting with either though. I’d appreciate the option for primes, and I also know I’ll be taking the cam everywhere on hikes and in the elements. If only the stores were open right now I would go in and get a feel, but I’ll probably just pick one from research like this and be happy with it!
Have had an X-T3 for just under a year. Just bought an X-T4 body it was on eBay at a bargain price. The curious thing is that before I got into Fujifilm I had a whole range of Panasonic and Olympus cameras all with fully articulating screens and never had a problem with them. I have found since getting the X-T4 that like you I prefer using the centered screen on the X-T 3. Really enjoyed the video.
Thanks for sharing, Eric! This is an old video now and there definitely are benefits to the xt4.
Now that I’m getting more into the wedding world, having dual video recording is key as well as the easy switch back and forth from video to photo.
I’m hoping for good things for the xh2 so fingers crossed!
As for the screen, if you’ve used the articulating screen with other camera brands, why does it feel diff with the xt4?
for me not upgrading from anything, i am mostly still shooter, should i go direct to x t4 or get the discounted x t3
Bhuboy Villanueva if you have the money then the xt4 is awesome. If you want to save some money then go xt3. Then you could put the extra cash towards another lens if you needed.
Can’t go wrong with either one, especially if it’s more so for photos.
With the latest firmware update on the XT3, if you don't need IBIS and the bigger battery. It is heck of a deal if you can get the rebate price @ $1349 CAD. I am interesting to see what features will they add to the XT4 in the next firmware update, maybe pixel shift like the GFX? I personally don't care for that but I want further improvement on autofocus tracking and animal eye af.
Agreed! Do you think the xh2 will ever come? I would love to see a super video centric camera that’s still on the affordable side
Which one to take primarily for video: Panasonic Lumix GH5S or Fuji XT4?
ooooo, that's a toughie! I wouldn't be qualified to tell you which since I've never used the Panny.
I think the best advice I could give you is to go to your local camera shop when the XT4 comes out and see if they have both in camera so you can check em out in person combined with some research on the specs they offer.
For the most part, new cameras are all comparable. It's down to how it feels in your hand and which you get excited to you more. For example, at the time I bought my XT3, the Sony A7 series were super hot by all the video creators, but I found holding it and the images I saw a little too clinical for me whereas I was excited about the retro style and feel of the Fuji combined with the colour science.
So, I say go with your gut. Worse thing is having buyer's remorse!
Hope that helps, my friend! Cheers!
I know this is a late comment. i recently sold my old Nikon D610 to switch to a more portable mirror less system. I want a Fuji camera to be my main camera that I use for landscape photography with good video capabilities to capture my outdoor adventures (ie. Climbing, back country skiing, backpacking, etc.) I want to make high quality stuff but it will mainly be for my personal use/beginning a little youtube channel. My gut is that the XT-2 will likely meet that requirement. However I am a tech geek so the XT-3 capabilities are alluring. Is the XT-2 capabilities in the video department good enough for probably 70/30 photo and video content with the ability to grow my video capabilities going forward? Or would the XT-3 be worthwhile to splurge for up front?
Hey! Never too late. Haha.
Based on the way you phrased that question, it sounds like your heart is leaning towards the xt3 and I would say yes, go for it because the price drop in the used market means some nice deals out there and it shouldn’t be a whole lot more than an xt2, so you might as well!
I’m also planning some vids on how I set up my cameras for photo and video shooting so let me know if there’s anything else you’re wondering about the xt3.
Let me know what you decide! Cheers!
-Tuan
I am Nikon dslr commercial shooter, wanted to try mirrorless so two days ago I got myself used XT2 mint condition for about 500$, I was shocked how compact and complicated it is. So far I hate two things about it, the power on/off switch, easy to hit by mistake and the menu system confusing a bit. But XT2 has quick start up comparing to dslr and no lagging as some people say. Now I am looking to buy lenses, still searching for good all-around lens. I tried the 18-55, camera balance not good at all with zoom lenses I think, so I might go for primes F2's, fuji lenses has good build quality but a bit pricey. Thanks for the video
You can also make the command dials be shutter speed and iso. Makes it really quick for shooting. I do that instead of using the dials.
You can see how in my Fuji settings video.
Let me know if you have questions, but I’m sure you’ll love it once you’re used to it. :)
Looking to upgrade my XT1 would the XT2 be a worthy upgrade or jump to XT3?
Ryan Scanlon I think you might as well go for the xt3. It’ll feel like a worthy upgrade. :)
Ryan Scanlon stick to the X-T2. I had the X-T1 as well, but the X-T2 is the camera which marks the end if the road for technical upgrade. It’s just stellar and I own it.
I didn't want to be the one to bring this to your attention - but the only Fuji Leaf Shutter is on the X100 series offering unrestricted Sync speeds - fantastic when Flash is used in strong daylight.. Cheerz mate, Fuji fan fum AU.
Ahhhh I the xh1 has a leaf spring switch, so I guess you’re right. Different from the shutter itself, but either way, you know what I mean!
I saw it here:

Great video...
Does XT4 still has exposure shift (ramping) issue while zooming with XF lenses on all manual mode as XT3?
Unal Ozmen hmmm good question! I don’t have an xt4 to test out just her so I can’t say, but I would think it would be more of a lens issue rather than body issue.
I have a video comparing the 18-55 vs 16-55 and in that video I mention lens flickering when zooming with the 16-55. Is that what you’re referring to?
If so, I would say it’s the way the lens mechanisms work over body.
Hope that’s what you mean!

Now, I'm planning to buy xh1 with 35 f2 and viltrox 85 1.8 is it good for wedding work. Currently I'm using xe3 with 50 f2
Hey buddy, I use my xh1 for wedding work all the time. I even use the Xe3, too.
Are you doing photo or video?
@@AtomicPixel photography only
For the same price for used items, which one you'd pick?
Xh1+grip+2 batteries
Xt3
I have xt3 as main cam, use it as video and photos
filos photoworks Hey! You mean as a second camera in addition to your xt3? I would def get an xh1 if you can find one.
The xt3 and xh1 combo are my work houses for paid gigs.
Xh1 is nice to have the ibis when you want shots to be a little steadier and you might even fall in love with the shutter button for photos. It just feels so nice :)
I used an XH1 for a few motorsport events, and have had my hands on an XT4 preproduction model at a Fujifilm event recently; the autofocus alone is worth the upgrade for me. The tracking is light years ahead of the XH1, at least from my quick test. I’m waiting for the local X-Photographer to get a production model so I can drag him to a race meeting.
Nigel Swan Nice! I believe you bro. If you’re doing fast subjects like that then it def makes sense.
Let me know what you think once your get your hands on a production version. I’m hoping I can get one to play around with, too. Fingers crossed!
Autofocus in respect to video or photo?
I would say improvements on both sides.
My xt3 is quicker than the xh1, but I don’t do sports or fast moving objects so I wouldn’t be a good source for how they perform in that specific scenario.

Extremekid Productions I was meaning photo.
Does XT4 has overheating issue like XT3 (I watched some YT video claiming as such) when taking 4k video? I'm from M43 user too switch to Fuji system. Getting my XT4 this week. Thanks.
Oh nice! Congrats! You’ll have to let me know what you think once you’ve had time to use it.
I’ve never had any overheating issues with my xt3, but then again I haven’t done super long continuous recording. Even during wedding days it’s clips and moments rather than sustained recording.
I would imagine the xt4 is ok, but I suppose any camera would overheat if you recorded for a really long time. I’m waiting for the world to go back to normal so I can borrow an xt4 to play around with.
Also, I think you asked my the peak design bag in another comment? I’ll have to double check and get back to you!
@@AtomicPixel Yes I'm the same person asking two questions at two different places 😬. Thanks for your reply.
Hey, I'm leaving a comment in June of 2020, hope you can help me decide. I'm getting a used X-T3 for $850, half the price of XT4 but it's hard for me to justify paying ANY money when the X-T3 has no IBIS and most lens don't offer OIS either. What lens do you recommend for video for XT-3 that is capable of shooting in low light?
Serafin Mora hey brotha, what kind of video do you do?
To be honest, I’ve been doing some shoots lately with the xt3 straight up hand held and not being too stable about it. Haha. They were little fashion clips so I wanted the movement, but there are easy ways to steady the cam.
Even with the xh1 that has ibis, you see how it jumps so I’ve been shooting with the ibis off during pans and then ok if I’m standing still. Having a cage and making it heavier helps. You can also get creative with with camera straps to help you out.
So let me know what type of scenario you’re shooting in and what you’re hoping to achieve. Hopefully I can share some insights.
Cheers bro!
Tuan
Atomic Pixel hey, thanks for the comment. I’m mostly shooting product photography so cooking videos and close ups of food. Because I’’m moving around following the cooks, I’m mostly hand holding the camera. I wanted to go with the 16-55 2.8 which is a bit heavier and all around lens for video. Go with the X-T3 + 16-55 2.8 or upgrade to XT4 even though it’s costing me double? $850 used XT3 vs $1600 XT4 cheers!
@@serafinmora1160 Hmmm... if the shots are long, sustained and you're literally following then chances are a gimbal would be your friend regardless of camera.
If it's just clips to put together in sequence later then the xt3 will be great. You can also use a monopod or shoulder rig.
I guess I'm trying to give you options to think about because the money you save on the xt3 body is money you could put towards nice glass. However, if you really feel like you want the best right now then go for the xt4 so you don't have buyer's remorse. Tough call!
As for lenses, 16-55 is super versatile for any paid gigs. And then the 35mm 1.4 will give you a great images for any portrait and detail work.
I have a couple videos on lenses if you haven't seen them. More to come on interior photography and product photography.
You said you do product/close ups so I have the cheap Meike macro tubes and just ordered some macro filters to try out. I'll make vid to share so you can see if any of those tools might make sense for you. They're super cheap and I want to see if they can do the job I need before investing in something like the 80mm macro. I just can't justify it right now.
Hope that helps buddy! Let me know what you end up going with. also excited to see your creations too. I'll subscribe right meow.

Few think closely about the massive advantage of the stills/movie mode switch for true hybrid shooters. For instance, stills photographers who need to also pick up a little b-roll here and their for their event work. The completely isolated menus and settings for each type of shooting to me is money in the bank. Time and fuss saved in the moment, seamless switching, and no worries about controls overlap that either ruins the stills shot or the movie mode. That alone is reason enough to switch, but then there’s IBIS etc. which extends the usefulness of the camera into lower light scenarios, working with longer lenses, on and on. It is easy to look at the spec sheet and say to yourself, “No big deal.” But an extra EV of low light performance here and there puts more shots in the camera, aka more opportunities to make the client happy. Such an easy decision over any previous Fujifilm camera. The only problem will be availability.
Hey BT, thanks for taking the time to comment!
I agree with you on the photo/video switch. I had mentioned it, but started cutting things out as the video was getting too long. I was thinking that it is really useful since I have shot a wedding doing both photo and video and did find it cumbersome to switch back and forth so often making sure I was in the right mode. However, I think an even better solution would be to have a separate record button so you can just jump right into video recording. I think the Sony A7 series does this?
As for IBIS, I mentioned I loved the improvements they've done to it for the XT4, but what I'm saying is if you could save almost $1500 and buy the XH1 so you'll still get IBIS. And as an update, I was trying the XH1 with the 18-55 and there was no jump in panning, so that's cool!
Atomic Pixel I have two X-H1 cameras, and yes for someone operating on a tight budget, these will provide a lot of the X-T4 functionality assuming you can find one. B&H in the US seems to have a few in stock, but Adorama doesn’t even have one in the used department at the moment. At the same time, just having to cope with that very outdated USB Micro-b connector is a bit of a deal breaker, especially if you do anything tethered. And you’re video modes are much more limited. I already have 2 preorders in place. Ready to move on. As for the separate shutter buttons, I tend to think of the Fujifilm approach as much cleaner. Flip a switch, all the menu context changes, settings fall right into place and the rest of your mechanics stay the same.
BT Hathaway yep, makes sense. Hey, so that means your 2 will hit the used market soon! ;)
But agreed, if you have the means, the XT4 will be sweet! Please let me know what you think after you’ve had some time to use it. :)
Also, do you think they’ll release an XH2 or nix that line?
Atomic Pixel I think Fujifilm has sent enough signals to confirm that an X-H2 will come, and now that they have gotten IBIS into the X-T line, they are positioned to let the next X-H incorporate a major sensor and processor leap. 6k? 8k? Who knows, but I expect they will design it to leapfrog the S1H. Fingers crossed that they will start to tease the design before the end of the year, but no preorders until 2021 for sure.
BT Hathaway I was thinking the same. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!
trueee i do FEEL if i need stabilization then at that point i should just invest in a gimbal for those shots - still have and using the kit 18-55 that have the OIS which is enough if hand held is needed.
and with the cheaper models or bodies, theres room in the budget to invest in other equipment as well.
Exactly! Now, if you’re new to fuji and want the best, then the xt4 is excellent. Just wanted to show the other options if people want to save money or invest the extra cash in a nicer lens or equipment. :)
Well made video my friend. I felt at home listening to you ❤️
Neoterixx awww thanks, buddy! That’s very kind of you! Hope all is well wherever you are. A hell of a year eh?
is XT3 still relevant now in 2023? Looking to pair with Sigma 18-50mm 2.8, but lack of ois/ibis kind of worrying for night time, thanks.
I’d say the xt3 is still amazing but if you can find a used xt4 for a comparable price, I’d take that.
However, for photos, I never use ibis so I wouldn’t be too worried.
I plan to do a vid comparing the 18-50 vs Fuji 16-55 and tamron since I’ve tried them all.
18-50 is nice, light and sharp. Just the opposite ring function/turn and lack of aperture ring sucks, but a great travel lens
@@AtomicPixel thanks for your reply , will have a look at used market , generally about usd 800 vs USD 1150 If not mistaken. My last camera was Canon T2i so should have some performance jump
@@Buzzcutpingu either Fuji will be a jump from the canon, so you can’t go wrong. :)
@@AtomicPixel thanks for your reassurance
going to get a T-X3, which one you prefer black or silver? I can't decide myself, ill stick a red shutter button + leather case + red peak design strap.
Alaa Masaud lol. That’s a great problem to have!
I chose silver for the retro vibe. But if you want to be more stealth, go black.
Let me know which you go with!
T.
man what are you doing to those beautiful cameras, you are turning them into futuristic spaceships whit all that stuff! and mixing the silver with black???
breaks my heart! great video x
Hahahaha you gotta spice things up! I have another camera I was thinking of even sanding it down a bit to give a weathered look. Like an old Leica. But don’t watch that - you’ll have a stroke! :)
On the flip side, there are some of us that like mixing silver with black. I bought a black X-T2 not long ago and put a silver lens on it. Love the combination
ItsJim As long as you’re having fun, it’s all good! I’ve been thinking about even sanding down one of the cameras to give it a worn look lol
@@AtomicPixel nooooooooo 😩
Like your video. I am intending to buy the Fuji XT3 and eventually the Fuji XT4 later down the line maybe in like a year and a half.
Out off curiosity do you still own the Nikon D5600. I own the Nikon D5500.
And do you own a Panasonic GH5
ruffdraft that’s what I did. I just bought a use X-T3 and will buy the X-T4 over the 3-4 months. With both having the same sensor, havibg ibis or an articulating screen wasn’t a deal breaker.
Hey! I say snag a nice used xt3. The used market is looking great for one.
I sold the d5600 shortly after I picked up the xt3. And no, I’ve never owned a Panasonic. I’m all fuji now. :)
My history went: Nikon d3100, Nikon d7000, Sony nex 5-t, Nikon d5600, Fuji x70, fuji xt20, fuji xt3, fuji xt2, fuji xh1.
I can’t wait to see what they do for the XH2.
Do you have a Fuji now or what system?
I personally don’t think the new features on the XT-4 is worth the $500 difference if you already own the XT-3. It’s like upgrading and IPhone 7 to iPhone7s lol. I’d wait to see what Fuji has in store later down the road and maybe consider getting an T4 when the price drops.
jofasho2kool yep, agreed. Just wanted to let people know the older options are still good, but I also understand that some want the best right now and are new to fuji, then the xt4 is a solid choice.
Cheers buddy!

Hi man! I'd like to have your opinion since I'm not really sure which one to get. I'm torn between xh1 and xt3, these days, secondhand xh2 with battery grip goes arounr $850 and secondhand xt3 body only goes around $800-$850 and a brand new xt3 sells for $950-$999. I mostly do stills and portraits and I travel a lot using fuji 56mm 1.2 and 18-135mm lenses. can you give me your thoughts? I currently have xt2 and I'm selling it for the upgrade. Thank you!
Hey buddy! My bad -- I'm not sure how I missed this!
That is a tough call because both are great. For me, I've been using my XH1 as my video camera and my xt3 as my photo cam. XH1 for video mainly because of the larger grip, ibis (when I need it) and the fact that I keep it rigged up.
Even though that XT3 has better video, the XH1 is good enough for me (and for weddings).
Just wanted to give you some insight, but for you, I would say think about if you like the body style and ergonomics of the xt3 or more dslr like, which is the xh1.
The xh1 would give you a nicer grip and feel more balanced on the 2 lenses you mentioned, but it's heavier.
So think of ergonomics and if weight matters. I think you would have to have a hawk eye to see a quality difference between the time as far as images and video.
The other option... If the xt2 is serving you fine, ride it out until next year. The prices of the xt4 will drop and fingers crossed we'll get an xh2. So, more options!
Hope that was helpful in some way! haha

Atomic Pixel Atomic Pixel man this is what I did lol. I never got around with deciding which body to get and went on a shopping spree with glasses lol I bought a bag of legacy vintage lenses and found my new love in photography in them I also ended up getting the 23mm 1.4 and I realized that my xt2 is more than capable for my needs and I just need an extra body for stills. So yesterdey I got myself a mint xt1 body with batgrip for $330 including taxes and I guess it’s quite a good deal. I’m planning to use it on my vintage lenses.
It’s funny because you’ll think that you are saving a lot with vintage lenses but you will end up buying a bunch of them at the same focal length and it’ll be too late when you realize that you just spent so much for lenses that has almost same fc with half of em getting stored most times hahaha tho I’m really happy with my decisions so far. Cheers!
I really love shooting portraits so I can’t help buying a bunch of vintage for different bokeh effects. This sucks 😭😭😭
Kx Jake hahahaha you scratched your itch in other ways!
And agreed, the xt2 is more than capable. Should last you a while.
I only have one vintage lens, the Helios, but I do think more vintage lenses would be fun.
Do you have shots on your Instagram or somewhere? Would love to see.
Atomic Pixel so far most pics on my ig is from 56mm 1.2 hope you can check em I’m just starting out and would like to hear advises from a pro! My ig is @ninjacob_ let me check your too I will follow you

Love your vid. I have the XT-3, and XH-1. The point of the ergonomics between the two is spot on for me. The love the feel of the XH1 in my hands and the shutter button placement. With the shallower grip on the XT3 moving my hand back a little to get to the shutter button makes it feel less secure in my hands. Brought he XT3 about a year ago and wished it had everything in the XT4. I like the option of ibis and the battery life, plus the easier switching to movie mode is a great change. Bottom line for me is if I could get all that in the form of an XH1 I think tha would be for me, so I’ll wait hopefully the XH1 line is going to be updated. Thanks for the video I’ll buy more glass instead.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Have you tried a cheap grip for the xt3? It’s the one you see me taking off in the for few minutes. It gives some nice bulk for you to hold onto.
And speaking of glass, I’m working on a lens series as we speak. Hoping to post the first vid by tomorrow.
Is there any glass you’re considering and what type of shooting do you do? Might give me some talking points as I create the lens series.
Cheers!
Atomic Pixel I do landscapes mostly and now I’m dabbling in portraits. I have mostly zoom lens and a mitkon 58mm with a m42 adapter. So I was thinking of adding a prime lens or two.
Atomic Pixel ps your content was clean to the point and informative in now subscribed with bell notifications on keep up the good work. In new to photography at least with a “real” camera I used point and shoots a long time before I wanted to go deeper. Point is I’m absorbing all the knowledge I can get and some is better than others your doing quality work so I appreciate the honest review. Thanks again!
Jeff Guarino Sounds great! I’ll be covering all the primes and my thoughts on the f2 versions vs the 1.4. I’ll tell you now that I do prefer the 1.4 versions. They render images differently. Less contrasty. Just more pleasing to me. But if you’re out chasing wolves then the weather sealing is nice on the f2s.
Stay tuned!
Jeff Guarino thanks for the kind words, my friend! I’ll sub to you too!
And I was thinking of doing an extensive break down on how I do interior shoots. I think much of what I learned shooting interiors can translate well into the landscape world.
Here’s some interior shots on our site so you can see what I mean. Shooting inside can be quite tricky, so if you can get a good grasp on merging photos and taming the dynamic range then you could apply it to landscape photography.

I am a film maker so I want one for video which one would you recommend between the xh1 and xt3
I use both for my wedding and small business content videos.
Xt3 has better video specs. Xh1 has ibis which can be good in most scenarios but does jitter when panning sometimes.
If you want the best quality and like to shoot 4K, go xt3.
If you only do HD work and like quick shooting, the Xh1 is nice.
@@AtomicPixel Thank you so much for clearing my confusion !
@@jishnuchakraborty2019 happy to help buddy!
Yo im a canon user im planning to switch to fuji mainly for photos and a bit videos for wedding and events what would you recommend xt2 xh2 or the xt3 i need to be budget wise to buy some good lens too like the 56 f1.2
If you’re mainly doing photos, I’d pick up an xt3. It just feels snappier than the other 2 and lighter than the xh1. Better suited for wedding work, I think. But if you find a better deal on the other bodies, they’d be great too.
For lenses, I use the viltrox 23mm 1.4 and 16-55 for wedding photos.
For video, I have a different setup.
I’m working on some wedding photo and video breakdowns to talk more at length about my approach and gear for wedding days.
Hope this helps!

Does XT4 has focus tracking for non-face/eye... like just for normal object? The XT3 only has it for photoshoot but not video :(
Hey there! From what I’ve seen so far it looks to have wide tracking option where you can select an object to track which doesn’t those to be a face, but I’m not sure if that’s possible in video now that I think of it. I havent seen any videos to confirm.

What are your go-to fuji lenses for wedding video?
Mr. S funny you ask! I’ve been contemplating what to bring to a wedding shoot this weekend.
I just bought the 55-200 last week so it’ll be my first time trying it out. I bought it to use during the ceremony so I can stay more on the sidelines to not distract from the wedding as much as possible.
The 16-55 f2.8 is definitely a staple and main lens. I’ll also bring the 23 f1.4 for the getting ready and perhaps reception depending how dark things get.
I’ll be delivering a video to a client tomorrow so once they see it, I’ll upload to the channel. Might do some commentary to talk about my process and how I went about the day.
I tell clients my style is 80’s dad home video but with new tech. Haha
Do you shoot wedding films too??
Have 2 X-T2's, thinking of selling one to get a second X-T3? What do you think?
Hey! If you have 2 then for sure! You’ll definitely love what the xt3 can offer. You’ll notice a better screen, quicker startup times and overall snappiness. Can’t go wrong especially if you find a good priced used one.
Let me know what you end up going for!
Just bought a silver xt3, sooo good man, for photos I think the screen is better than the flip screen of the xt4
(your voice is so relaxing, very cool video to watch)
Aw thanks SO much! Really means a lot since we’re just starting out. Let me know if you have any vid ideas.
And I agree. An articulating screen isn’t as handy for photo work, but has advantages for video. The Panasonic SH1 has a cool screen. Or, even simpler, if the screen could just flip up 180 then problem solved lol.

@@AtomicPixel which has better IBIS xh1 or xt4 using 16-55 2.8 lens?
I haven’t had a chance to use the xt4 personally just yet, but from what I’m seeing, the ibis has improved so I would say the xt4 is better.
That being said, if you pair the 18-55 which has stabilization with the xh1 ibis, it is very good. No jerkiness.
@@AtomicPixel Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it!

I’m trying to work on my craft more than fixating on the newest gear.
Again, thanks for the kind words buddy!

@@AtomicPixel You are more than welcome. Yes I'm also curious about the XH2. Coincidentally when I purchased the silver XT2 last August new for $999 the XH1 went on sale 2 weeks later for the same price with the battery grip. So I went to my local camera store to check it out. Loved the grip, balance, and shutter. Missed the exposure comp dial. I'm a sucker for the silver graphite and it's retro looks. So I kept it. I only shoot stills. But that XH2 might make a nice companion LOL! Have a great weekend!
Muata O As long as you’re happy with it and you have a camera that fun for you, then boom! It’s all you need!
Have a great weekend to you, too! 🍻
Would you suggest buying the XT-3 or saving up my money for a bit longer and pulling the trigger on a XT-4? I currently shoot on Iphone 6 lol so obviously either cam would be an amazing upgrade. I havent purchased a cam yet simply because I don’t really like the idea of buying an “entry level” camera just to have a camera. I’d rather keep practicing on my phone and save up so I can buy something worth my money. I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks in advance. Great video btw.
Hey Dave! Great question. I would consider a few things:
1. Moving from iPhone to a camera camera will be an upgrade in many ways and will be a new set of skills to learn in order to master the camera and way you shoot -- which is the fun part! And nothing wrong even if you don't choose Fuji as "entry level" is really subjective. I could get the same level of photos with a Nikon d3100 (my first dslr) today as I could with my Xt3. The difference being when you step up from "entry level" the ergonomics and features are better, but quality doesn't always change that much (this meaning many of us use photos for sharing with family or Instagram. If you printed large scale then yes, there is a difference).
2. If money is not an issue - likely just go for the XT4 as it is the best right now in the Fuji line and has features that I'm sure you'll enjoy for years to come.
If you have a set budget, then perhaps think of an XT3 and then have money for some nice lenses. Oh man, lenses is another realm in itself haha. But you know what I mean.
3. Both XT4 and XT3 will be super fun for you if it'll be your first camera camera. Biggest difference being do you think having a swivel screen is something you need in the way you shoot photos/capture moments.
For a little context, my camera journey went Nikon d3100, d7000, sony nex series, fuji x70, nikon d5500... sold it all and got fuji xt3, xh1 and xt2.
The way fuji looks, feels, shoots is just really fun for me. I've also been testing out fuji recipes which is colour tones and adjustment in camera so you get a look without having to edit after. I'll have to make a series on that. It's been great.
Anyways, hopefully this was helpful and please let me know what you end up going with. :)
Cheers,
Tuan
Atomic Pixel thanks for the quick reply. The more I think about it the more i’m leaning towards the xt-3. I think it may be wiser to then use that money to invest in a lens that would fit my needs. But yeah, i was between canon, sony and fuji but there’s just something about the fuji cams that are so nice. The look of the body and the colours that come out of it are so sick.
Thanks for the advice, i’ll let you know when I get it! Cheers.
Dave agreed! Fuji’s are just really fun to shoot with. For lenses, the 16-55 is my fav for wedding days and moments where I need range. The 35mm 1.4 is my fav for details and a great multi purpose for client work. And the 23mm 1.4 is a beauty for family things, walk around when you need a little wider.
Cheers!
Atomic Pixel thanks for the suggestions i’ll take a look at those. I’m going to be using it to shoot street photography and skateboarding mostly but hopefully I can start finding gigs and make some money with it too.
Nice bro! Excited to see what you create!
hello. which one will you prefer XT2 or XH1?
Dan Cruz from those two, the xh1 for sure. Even tho the xt3 has better video quality, if you really peep, I use my xh1 more for my wedding and paid video work because I like to do handheld and the ibis really helps!
Agreed. I don't shoot video -mostly concert, and street, so there really isn't much that the X-T4 brings to the table for me. With the latest firmware upgrade the X-T3 autofocus was improved from really good, to great, and I've heard that there could be yet another firmware upgrade for it in the fall. I'm sure the 4 is going to be a great camera as well, but with IBIS, and the rotating screen, it seems to be marketed squarely at the video people.
Joe Toole Yep, I with ya on all those points. As another commenter pointed out, hopefully the XH2 goes even more video centric and the xt3 could stay more photo.
There’s no perfect cam, but for just photography, the xt3 style screen is perfect.
I would love it if the next xh1 just had a 180 degree screen with the portrait tilt option. I hope you read this fuji! lol
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Joe! 👍🏼
I definitely think you nailed it. Its tough to be patient waiting for the next version of the XH series but lets face it. The XHI was only the first generation of the XH series and as good and promising as it was on intro to the market place, photography reviewers saw the need to critique a lot about the camera that needed tweaking. I was very excited by all the great specs but never felt it was a fully appealing camera. I'm also waiting for the next update to see if they listened to what it needed.
Jerry Eisner thx bro. What are you shooting with these days?
I think I’m in a good place gear wise, so unless one camera breaks or something truly compelling comes out, I think I can hold off.
I want to concentrate more on the creating and post-production side of video and photo rather than being too obsessed with gear.
But I do love gadgets/tech so I do have to check myself now and then. Lol
T.
did you use latest firmware 2.01 on xh1?
hmm the ibis kicks is ver bad..
Yep, still kicks with the latest firmware. So on my last wedding shoot, I just shot with ibis off.
It’s good for long static shots, just don’t try to pan with it. Haha
@@AtomicPixel hmm, so it's bad for dynamic shot style,,
how about XS-10? i think its have similar spec but XS-10 have better AF, IBIS, and 240FPS on FHD
Soory for my bad english :D
@@okiwidianto8582 it’s all good buddy! You only get better by practicing! :)
As for the xs-10, it does look a little better since they did improve ibis with the xt4 so I think they carried it into the xs-10, but I haven’t tried the new camera yet so I can’t say!
@@AtomicPixel thank you for your answer realy help me brother,,
@@okiwidianto8582 cheers bro! Happy to help :)
Very good and accurate real world review. Thank you.
MrMGKelly thx brother! Glad it was helpful!

The xt4 is a xh1 + an xt3, if you own those 2 it replaces them and brings all the extra stuff which IS awesome.The shutter is dampened but not quite to xh1 level.I'll eventually be selling those 2 to get the XT4 and grip.Changeover price will be close.New battery is a winner,updated IBIS is a winner.Has to be close to the perfect crop camera!
I agree with ya! If you only need one body then sell them both to fund the xt4. I need multiple cameras for my work so that’s why I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need to upgrade. Plus, the world just to shit so I can’t make such purchases in this frozen economy. Stay safe and healthy, Peter!
Im intrigued by the H but my biggest concern is low light. Its -1ev vs most others being -3. Can you confirm this?
I don’t notice any difference in lowlight performance between any of these cameras.
But now that prices have come down, keep an eye out for an xt4 or xt3. Or wait a little longer. I’m hoping for good things in the xh2 next year
@@AtomicPixel saw an h1 body on keh for about $700. Would love an xt4 but that h is tempting. I love low light shooting hand held zero tripod so dont know how good h would be.
@@sunnyta619 the sensors are all pretty much the same. Only next year will it be a big difference (based on rumours).
If you wanna save some cash, you’ll love the xh1
@@AtomicPixel yeah isnt the next big thing like 42 megapixels and 8k video??? If a camera could clean my house, walk my dog and do my laundry that would be worth the upgrade 😂
@@sunnyta619 haha I hear ya! I just want better ibis when panning, improved low light and no recording limit (fan). I don't even use 4k so I def don't need 6 or 8k
Where did you find xt3 for 1200-1300 here in Canada ?
C Anbessa in Ontario. I see them for $1400 on the Toronto area so with done negotiating I’m sure you could get lower. :)
I just picked up the xt3 for $700. I’ve been using the xt1 for the longest until now.
Nice! I bet it feels so quick compared to the xt1 eh?
@@AtomicPixel lol most definitely
@@nitablackwood6301 haha enjoy! It’s a great cam. Years later, I ended up getting an xt4 since I found a good deal on one.
Im excited to see what they do with the xh2!
Great video! What do you think about the Sony a6600(1200usd) over the XH1(1000usd with battery grip)?
I think they are similar in performance( IBIS, fps, and video capability). The a6600y has better autofocus and battery life. The XH1 has better color and body design.
Kevin Liu I guess I am biased as I do love the Fuji system. Sony’s are great, but in a clinical type of way. Fuji’s make me want to shoot and use the camera.
I would also say the XH1 would feel better in the hand and Fuji simulations are great.
You are right about better autofocus on the a6600. But I’m sure the xh1 would be just fine.
If you can get your hands on both, you’ll know which speaks to you when you hold them. :)
I'll go for the x-t4. This is my first Fujifilm camera and so I need a lens for it. I decided to take the 16-80 4.0 wich is availible here in Germany as a kitlens, but only with the x-t4. If you want to buy it seperatly, you won't get it here for less than 800.- Euros. So at the end it makes a price difference between X-H1 and X-T3 (both availible for 1000 Euro) an the x-T4 of 500 Euros. For that amount of money you get IBIS, ultra fast autofocus, very good eye recognition, better menu (love switching from video to photo in the menu) larger batteries, and and...
Sennyah hey! If you have the means, for sure go for the xt4 if you want the best right now.
As for the lens, it depends what your needs are. If you need the reach at 80mm, go for it.
If you want versatile focal range with a wide aperture, go 16-55. If you want to save money. Get the 18-55.
You’ll likely end up getting some primes done the road so that’s why I mention the zoom lenses first. :)
Do keep me posted on what you get and your thoughts once you have it. I’m hoping to try out an xt4 too!
-Tuan
@@AtomicPixel Hey Tuan, thanks for your recomandations. I was realy thinking about the 16-55 but at the end these aspects made the point: Lower weight, price and size and actually the 80 mm makes the 16-80 to a real most-time-on lense. And if I'm not satisfied with the picture quality, I can easyly sell it on Ebay without loosing any money and switch to the 16-55 :)
Sennyah makes sense! You’re going to love it! :)
Xh1 is a great n over looked camera the cont med shutter sound is great!
1plainoldme Agreed! An oldie but a goodie!
Hey I’m trying to break into the fujifilm x series, two quick questions for you:
I am located in Toronto, where would you recommend looking for used fujifilm x series body/ gear besides Kijiji, Facebook marketplace, and eBay?
Do you think the release of the XT4 will lower the used market price for the XT2 (like what happened with the XT1)? Depending on that answer how quickly do you think the xt2 will drop in price?
Hey there! I’ve always gotten my used gear on kijiji or fb. I got a really good deal on our xt2 at the time from a guy in Toronto, actually. I’m seeing the xt3 drop to the 1300 range on kijiji. I would throw out some $1000 offers and see what people counter with. Getting an xt3 for about $1200 would be an amazing deal. I would highly recommend trying to grab an xt3 over an xt2 since the price range is getting similar. But, that being said, I bet if you keep your eye out you could find an xt2 in the 700-800 range. Best of luck!
Atomic Pixel thank you so much for your response! Ended up getting an excellent condition xt2 for $800 with just a 16-50 XC lens and accessories. Love it so far looking to get my first Fuji XF lens! Keep creating content like this!
sourkeyman Nice! Welcome to the Fuji fam! :)
I just uploaded the first video of my lens series which may be interesting to you as you start to think of which lenses to buy next.
And if you have any questions about the xt2 or Fuji, just ask! It could help me with content ideas. Enjoy!
Here’s the vid: ua-cam.com/video/eiXSzB_iAP4/v-deo.html
Atomic Pixel hey loved the new video I have a few video ideas to feed my insatiable curiosity: Can you walk through how you shoot in lowlight and with flash? As well as how you set up your flash? Can you show us your workflow process of how your organize and post process after a photography gig? I tend to shoot more compositionally pleasing photos with a fixed prime lens, however I think this may be just a mental barrier that I can overcome. I currently have a 16-50 Xc lens. I’m thinking of investing in A) the 23mm f2, and eventually the 56mm f2 or B) investing in the 18-55 XF and eventually 56mm f2 what would you suggest. I’m planning on sticking to street photography and travel photography eventually moving into event and sports photography for occasional starter working gigs.
sourkeyman Boom! That’s what I’m talking about bro. Thanks for the excellent questions. I’ll def make a video to share my process.
Do you have IG? Would love to see your work too!
should i choose the XT2 or X100F for street photography while traveling and kind of other casual things not for paid works?
Satya Yaya hey buddy! A few things I would consider:
1. Do you want the option of buying different lenses? It would allow you to expand your tools later on if you think you might need it. Therefore, xt2.
2. Body design is a matter of preference. If you’re ok with the 23mm fixed focal length and like the range finder style of the x100f, go for that. Some may like body of the xt2 more. Some like the x100 more.
3. Xt2 has a flip screen which is useful for low shooting or portrait orientation shooting
4. Xt2 would also give you better video capabilities if you want to capture video moments here and there.
So, xt2 more versatile overall, but x100 gives a fun, compact package to carry around.
Best of luck!

@@AtomicPixel is there any differences in color of that 2 camera produce?
and i wanna ask something cuz im not fuji users, do film simulation only works on jpeg ?
Satya Yaya I would say the quality and colour would be the same.
Technically, yes, the film simulations are for jpeg but there are options in adobe to add a simulations to raw photos.
@@AtomicPixel how about the AF speed? are they both the same?
Satya Yaya that you’d have to look up. I don’t know an x100f but I would expect it to be good enough
Wait, interiors on APSC?? Fuji 8-12 is just horrendous bang for buck ratio vs any old FF cam and sigmas.
Skvora Limited Media Hey! Yep, I’ve always used apsc for my interior photography work. Started with a Nikon d7000.
With the Fuji I use the rokinon 12mm and the 16-56. You dont always have to go wide. 16mm has been great for interior design shots.
I want to switch my xm1 for an xt3 or xt4, what are your thoughts?? Both will be a big upgrade, but is the xt4 worth te money difference
DUCzilla Both are great choices. Depends on your budget. If you’re ok with used and want to save some money, go xt3. If you have the budget and want the best, xt4.
@@AtomicPixel simple as that! So the upgrades to the xt3 is worth the money difference!!
DUCzilla haha it can be that simple! You’re coming from quite and older gen so either the xt3 or xt4 will blow your mind. You won’t regret either one.
So then it depends on budget and the things I mentioned in video. Do you need a flip screen and ibis is the the biggest draw to the xt4.
@@AtomicPixel i like to take pictures with moving water, so ibis will save me to expand my tripod for 1/8 pictures, or maybe longer...
DUCzilla Do it, bro! You’ll love it! :)
I have a friend who works at a camera shot so I’m hoping I can borrow an xt4 when it comes in.
I can handhold my XH1 down to about a 1/8th and get sharp images so that would be great for running water.
However, a tripod will give you the best results and control. The ibis is just great in a pinch and for video work. 👍🏼👍🏼
This video is very helpful. You are pointing out the differences and handling between these cameras from your everyday experience and not just talking about the tech specs of these cameras.. especially about x-t2, x-t3 and x-h1. It would be better if you could get your hands on a x-t4 and get first hand experience with that camera as well but, anyway.. good job. I'm wondering if there is a big difference between x-t3 and x-t30 regarding video quality and AF? Keep these videos coming.. good job.
Vasko Nakovski thanks, brother! Agreed, maybe one day when we’re big enough Fuji will send me a copy. That would be so cool!
As far as I know, they’re the same sensor (xt30 and xt3) so I would think you’ll get the same results in a small body. Heck, even between the xt3 and xh1 you likely couldn’t tell a difference unless you had them side by side.
Put it this way, the xt3 is newer and “better” sensor/video quality, but I’ve been using my xh1 for video projects and xt3 for photo.
I’m almost done and edit for an interior design client. I used the xh1 handheld as we toured the home. You’ll see it’s plenty good enough! Don’t be afraid to pick up an xt30 if it’s more in your budget or if you like the form factor better. I had an xt20 and it was great to for our trips to Latvia.
Thanks for the kind works, Vasko! :)
I am a photographer that is contemplating on getting the X-T4 because I really want to dive into video making and the IBIS would be ideal to utilise the prime lenses. Did you try to film with X-T3 and with primes? If so, did you use a gimbal to stabilise?
Denis Khotkin hey man! I’ve been filming with the xt3 handheld more lately. Even with the xh1 there are times I film without the ibis.
The key is to be stable, add weight or use a gimbal.
I tried my moza aircross the other day but ended up shooting handheld after a few minutes. I just find gimbals so cumbersome.
Plus I’m not doing long sustained shots so I can even things out in post with the stabilizer in Final Cut Pro.
If you need to do long follow shots then a gimbal would be nice or monopod.
With primes, If you stay 23mm or wider, you won’t notice camera shake as much.
And I like movement or shake. Makes things feel more organic in my opinion. All depends on the shot you’re trying to achieve
@@AtomicPixel Ended up picking up the X-T4 🙈 gorgeous camera and can't wait to shoot with it :)
Denis Khotkin sweeeet! I’m excited for you! Welcome to the Fuji fam! :) be sure to check out my vid on settings. Using the command dials makes for much quicker shooting
@@AtomicPixel Oh I have been part of the Fuji fam since X-T2 😎 Now rocking X-T3 as my back-up and X-T4 as my main 😜
Denis Khotkin oooooo beauty duo!
I consider switching to the X-T4 from X-T3 because of the IBIS. My point is, i dont want to carry a gimbal with me anymore. Especially when hiking. The Ibis performance should be good enough to get simple filming stuff stabilized without extra weight.
takkyutube I agree. That’s how I feel about my xh1. Do let me know what you think of it if you end up getting one!
Cheers,
Tuan

@@AtomicPixel Thanks, I'll take a look right now! I've been using vintage prime lenses but I'm eyeing up the 18-55, just because it's so versatile and has IS.
Johnny Applepie agreed. That’s the biggest features it has going for it. Really nice for general shooting and times you want the stabilization for video.
Just got my xt3 from xt2. The most upset one is the shutter release. The xt3 shutter buttom is too loose compared to Xt2. Dont know if that is a problem or just common?
Shundi Zhan too loose eh? I don’t notice that with mind. Then again, I use a shutter button with all my cameras. Maybe that will help?
Atomic Pixel thanks for your reply. I’m still gonna go back to xt2. Just feel more solid shutter mechanism. Thanks
Shundi Zhan no worries. Stick to what feels right for you! :)

Hey man great video..here in india xt30 and xh1 are near the same price range...suggest me which one to pic...am least concerned about video..i need camera only for photography..so suggest me one camera between xt30 and xh1?
Hey buddy! Between those two, I would say if you want small and light for travel, choose the xt30.
If you want a nice grip and dslr feel, go with the xh1. The overall ergonomics are better and I love the shutter button.
Hope that helps!

Vaans World awesome! Sounds like a cool gig ya got!
@@AtomicPixel Ya its a dream gig
The button placement on the x-t-series (apart from it having a smaller grip) is because the camera is made, or at least more fitted for the old rolleiflex type of shooting where you hold the camera Lowe and look down on the screen. Hence why the entire control scheme looks the way it does.
Interesting you say that. Never thought of it that way but I do find when I hold it lower I use my thumb to hit the shutter button.
When visiting my sis in law, she showed me the rolleiflex her grandpa has. Looks so cool
@@AtomicPixel
Well, I've read, or seen something about it. Seems a bit logical considering fujis modernization of the old school type of photography. Their cameras are truly hybrids in many aspects.
Yeah my dad had one is his youth when he was on the seas. Allways telling my me how he regret selling it. Damn fine cameras!
Gundolf300 Awesome! Thx for sharing. :)
Not as vintage, but just as classic, is my our family VHS camcorder and film canon from the 80s/90s. I’ll likely do a little throwback video since I’ve kept them over the years. Haha
@@AtomicPixelThanks yourself! 😉
That's so cool! Kinda amazing how we have reached the point where the groundbreaking VHS has become retro 😂.
Reminds of the first camera I bought at a local TV-store when I was about ten. I went through litteraly a shit ton of boxes with outdated cameras, radios, video cameras and what not in the basement. Gave me a Yashica Electro 35 (wich I still have 25 years later) for about 50 Swedish crowns, approx 5 usd. 😉
Gundolf300 hahah very cool! Humans and tech have boomed in the last few decades so a very iterating time to be alive.
Like you said, to go from something like a Nintendo to VR; dial up Internet to smartphones; paper maps to google maps - it’s been wild!
Does anyone know how to set the Fuji XT3 so that when your shooting a sunset in video mode and your in aperture priority and the light starts getting low and the camera is reducing the shutter speed, to make it do so smoothly without making it flicker because it goes down in far to much steps of light? my sony A7R2 does it flawlessly and smoothly without any flickering so i know this camera should be able to as well..i just dont know how to set it to reduce the shutter speed smoothly instead of big jerky steps like it does now
Cloud9Photography hey! I’ll test tomorrow for you and report back.
But to be honest, manual is the way to go but I guess you’re thinking for more casual or quick video clips?
Have you played around with auto iso for video? Anyways, I’ll play around and see if I can find a way for it to auto expose without any flickering
@@AtomicPixel no , i shoot video sunsets then speed them up..so auto iso wouldn't work for me because by time the sun was setting id be on iso 25000 and it would be a grain fest lol, so i set it to aperture priority which makes the camera auto adjust the shutter speed as the light gets dimmer..the problem is..it does it in such large increments that you visibly see the image getting brighter in a fast jerky way like a flash...and my sony a7r2 doesn't do that..it does it smoothly..so im trying to figure out how to make the xt3 do the same..and thank you so much for taking the time to investigate this!
Cloud9Photography ahhhh I gotcha. Time lapse like. So would you keep it set so you would see the sun set rather than have the camera try to correct the exposure as the sun goes down?
Just trying to understand the process and the end result you’re looking for
@@AtomicPixel its not timelaspe, its video lapse....so what i do is i shoot 4 hours of video as the sun sets, then in post i just...speed it up and add music.....when the sun gets lower and lower the light gets less and less so the camera being set on aperture priority mode, reduces the shutter speed more and more as the light dims so that the brightness of the video picture can be maintained.....the problem is...the sony does this very gradually and smoothly.....the fuji does it very jerky and flashy..you can see flashes every time it reduces the shutter speed and its annoying...trying to figure out of theres some way to make it do it smoothly like the sony can or if the fuji is just a shit camera in that respect and cant do it like the sony lol
Cloud9Photography True, maybe it’s can’t do it as smooth as the Sony, but what I thought when people did the video lapse it’s keep constant, but you would know better than I. Never tried it.
Anyways, be in touch soon!
yah :( I'm with xt20 right now and I'm focusing upgrade to xt3 or xt4. What do you prefer for me, xt4 or xt3 to save money on lens ? I do video and photo together.
Hi Yuki! Side note: are you Japanese (the name) or are you Vietnamese (saw your vidoes and they were in Saigon)? If Viet, I'm Viet, too! I also subbed to your channel. :)
Anyways, back to your question -- I actually had an XT20 before I bought my XT3. The XT20 was a perfect size for travelling and I don't think you'll notice much of a difference image quality wise, to be honest.
The main reason I upgraded was because I do client work, weddings, events so I prefer the ergonomics of the XT3 for faster shooting and handling.
If you're just creating for yourself then here are my considerations:
1. Keep the xt20 and invest in better lenses (not sure which you have right now). I'm also working on a lens series. Good timing! I'm hoping to post the first video in that series by tomorrow.
2. Do you simply want a newer camera or one that handles better? The xt20 can feel small or a little cramped, so the xt3 will definitely feel nicer. And this is subjective, but having a new camera is fun and may encourage you to go out and create more.
3. I would only splurge to get the xt4 if budget is no concern or if you really need the flip screen for self recording or ibis for handheld video.
This all goes back to what you want out of your camera and what you intend to use it for. We all want the "best" tools, but depending on your purpose, it may be overkill. Let me know what you're thinking and what lenses you have and then I can help further!
@@AtomicPixel Hi Atomic! I'm vietnamese :)) my name Hana Yuki was named by my japanese trainer, the reasons why I want to get X-T3 or 4 because I want a better camera for my business work, like fashion, beauty shooting or recording works, also I use handheld quite much and it's quite terrible because xt20 do not have IBIS :'> ( I want to stick with Fuji because I donot like other brands :'> ), also, I plan to buy one more and still keep xt20, for me, xt20 is perfect for me when going outside for relaxing, walking or going coffee with my friends.
The reasons why I confuse about xt3 or xt4 are prices and their specifics. Xt3 has a better price and I can save money for some lens, and I love tilt-screen on xt3, what I donot like on XT4, but Xt4 has bettery life and IBIS :( and they get same sensor ;;_;;
Although, My gear right now is the collection of xt20, kit 16-50 f3.5 5.6, xf27 f2.8 and some cheap vintage lens. And I spend quite much time for running around to borrow lens for job :'>> quite crazy. I plant getting XF35f1.4 after corona disaster.
Also, I sub your channel, good content and video quality :3 hope to see more in the future.
Chao em! :)
Then I think it comes down to how much you want to spend and if you really need ibis. If you’re doing walking and talking shots then it helps. If you’re doing slow pans and movement you can fix it in post editing.
The 35mm 1.4 is one of my fav lenses for portrait and product detail work.
And thanks for the kind words! Stay safe back home! My parents were just there for New Years before the break out. Crazy times!
@@AtomicPixel thank you anh :))~
At this time, I'll check them later, I donot have so much problems with money, nearly 50 mil VND for that, but I quitely miss so much lens, like 56f1.2, and 80 macro is my dream while I take beauty shots :(
I do not have time to try more with 35f1.4 in studio, do you think I can take it well in beauty shots :'> I just have time to try it outside.
And you too, stay safe at now, everything is nearly lockdown in Saigon. So terrible :(
Yuki Hana I think the 35 1.4 is a good length so you can use it for portraits and details shots.
I have the 56mm but I’m selling it because many times it’s too long to shoot unless you’re outdoors.
When you say beauty shots, do you mean portrait type or?
Thanks for the review brother! I’m in a dilemma right now - I sold the x-h1 and a few glass, but after watching a few reviews I’m not sure if I want to upgrade just yet. I primarily shoot wedding photos, but occasional video work. What do you think is the best option for me right now? Xt3 or xt4?
also just subscribed, love your work!
I subbed to you too! Loved that latest vid man. What was that filmed with?
And what camera do you have now if you’re considering xt4/xt3?
If budget isn’t a concern, the xt4 would give you more use for video work too. And you should do more video! If you offered wedding video with your shoots you could up your pricing. That’s what I’m trying. Only got into it no wedding stuff last year. Not our main thing, but decent money.
Also, I just started a creatives group on fb. You should join and share that cottage vid!

Atomic Pixel so an update - I ended up getting the 100v and the xt3! Oh man the 100v has been a beast lol. I actually am part of a wedding company too and we use canons for the video stuff, but I’m main photographer that shoots fuji. Thanks for the input!
Markymethod oooooo nice picks! I’ve always loved the x100 series. Great walk around camera.
What’s your IG? I’ll give you a follow
hi! please enlighten me on this. i've been considering the xt4 and xh1 as my photography gear but at the same time im also leaning to the nikon d780. i do wedding photo and video as my sideline to my job. i currently own a D90 and a D7000. the limiting factor i have with it is stabalization, ISO and other controls. could you share some thoughts for me. thanks!
Hey buddy! I came from the D7000 as well. My first love. haha
So, brand aside, I find moving to mirrorless was a big advantage for me as I moved away from DSLRs. A smaller form factor, better video and being able to see the adjustments your making on-screen was a big improvement.
Now, going to Fuji, I love the colours and the style/controls just make it fun for me.
Wedding is on the side for us, too. And in your case I think your biggest decision is:
1. Do you want to move to mirrorless or stay with DSLR?
2. If you go Fuji, then likely you'll have to get 2 bodies, since a wedding usually requires 2 cameras and best to have the same brand so the colour science is the same. Makes it easier for you in the editing room.
So let me ask you this, what makes you want to move to Fuji or mirrorless?

Atomic Pixel thanks so much for the response. more power to your channel
topher lyeung thx brother! If you have any other questions, please ask away!
Atomic Pixel wow, thanks man
im also a Fuji shooter i have gfx 50r and some lenses but im gona purchace the xt4 or the xt30/40, when i want to travel light or when i need a faster camera for tracing or action.Nothing beats gfx image output but it lacks every thing else
ted tedsen lucky guy! The gfx is sexyyyyy.
I used to have to the xt20 and that size is really nice for traveling. The only thing to consider with is it can feel a little small or cramped. But if you want small then it’ll the xt30 is perfect. The xt4 would double up as intermediate to pro work if you need it to.
Do you have any photos/vids of the gfx or works you’ve done? Would love to see!
Thanks for commenting, Ted!
How did u get the smooth focus pulls at 2:00 ?
That’s just it autofocusing, not really a focus pull. If you want a smooth focus pull, I would manually focus or slow the focus speed in the autofocus custom settings
@@AtomicPixel Does the XT2 have focus speed settings? My lenses AF too fast, I think.
@@garilvaeducate8320 yep, they all do :)
@@AtomicPixel Huh. Are you certain? I can't seem to find it. And I've gone through the menus on my XT2.
@@garilvaeducate8320 go to the AF/MF menu>AFC custom settings>I use tracking sensitivity at 2 and speed tracking sensitivity at 0
