I'm mad it doesn't come in champagne gold!!!!

As an X-T2 shooter I'm very excited to pick up an X-T3 for super cheap next month!

Biggest complain about Fujifilm from Tony point of view: they dont offer a free trip to Hawaii or New York...

"The X-T4 is Fuji's top of the line camera, which is mid-range compared with other manufacturers" *goes on naming cameras with higher resolutions and full frame sensors. I think you might have forgotten the GFX line, specially the GFX100. Is that mid range? How does it compare to other cameras? You want performance, speed and fast autofocus: go with the XT line. You want the highest image quality possible, go for the GFX line.

I am not a pro so I try to not fall for the new technology too often. At the moment, I am very happy with my X-T2 and 3 F2 WR lenses, and my Pentax K-1. The X-T2 screen if perfect for me when shooting church events and family parties. I don't film myself, I don't do much video and I don't vlog. The K-1, despite what people think about it's AF and FPS, still produces high image quality. I leave it to those blessed with more money than I get the latest and fastest toys.

Thanks for the preview. And for me is the other way around. No flip screen = no way. The flexibility it provides is priceless.

My flip screen of Nikon D5500 broke in middle of an event 4 years ago(later fixed by warrenty) .. Then I bought Nikon d750 and then nikon z6 which both has tilt screen. Personally I prefer the tilt screen for photoshoot, it's better and feels more convinient while shooting.. The swivel flip screen is only useful if your take selfie or vlog or over head shot, rest of times tilt screens are better.

The short conclusion of this video: X-T4 is not good enough because with APS-C camera without some f1.8 zoom lenses you can't get your background Tony enough

people have strange problems on those internetz...

Hey Tony, you left one of the biggest advantages of the XT4 vs the full frame cameras out of the comparison : The price of the lenses. You only compared the body prices. Canon RF 70-200 = $2700 Sony 70-200 G Master = $2600 Fuji 50-140 = $1700, canon rf 85mm f/1.2l usm = $2700 FUJIFILM XF 56mm f/1.2 R = $1000 the full frame lens is bigger and costs $1700 more. Besides Sony, the other full frame cameras do not have a lot of good small lenses. Fuji sure has few big lenses but they have good and pro quality lenses that are small.

Fuji XH1 is definitely Not “plasticky”...I do agree that it’s bulky. Can’t wait to see how this magnetic ibis will compare.

flip screen does impact negatively for waist level shooting. The screen is to the side not inline with the lens. That is why some people prefer tilt screen over flip screen.

For mine, the best part is the driving down of the prices of the older models. Just stepped up to the XT-2 for a reasonable cost - really sensational stills IQ.

Don't get your reasoning on iPhone simply having more dots there for better. It has a much, much larger screen. Should calculate the DPI for a fair comparison

You are wrong with the tilt screen vs full articulated. Both have advantages and inconveniences but for a street photographer/videographer that wants to be low profile the tilting screen is 1000 times better. No point to argue on that. After having tried both systems for years with Panasonic I can tell you that once you flip out the articulating screen your discretion is gone. Experienced it hundreds of times . The Gx7 was sweet for that while the GX8 and GH5 are horrible if you want to take candids. Now if you are not into this kind of photography/video the articulating is great.

"...upcoming R5 will blow everyone else away..." What happened to "Marketing BS"? ... :-)

one drawback of the flip-out screen is that it is much harder to use a L-bracket on such a body. L-brackets that are compatible with flip-out screens do exist, but they tend to be bigger and bulkier. while mounted vertically on a tripod, the flip-out screen also might not have the range of motion available to work.

Ironically, the flip screen is what has convinced me to save up my money to get the X-T4, instead of the X-T3, lol!

You're missing a big point. Many users (or maybe most of them) from Fujirumor were asking for the S1H or XT100 screen, which allows you to tilt AND flip the screen. It's the best of both worlds and that's why so many users are upset that we get this flippy screen instead.

The only concern I have with a flip screen is an L bracket getting in the way. Of course I imagine as more and more manufacturers start implementing flip screens on their cameras L bracket designs will also evolve to accommodate them.

I love how you say the XT4 is almost the same price as the EOS R which is full frame... and then 5 minutes later you throw EOS R in the ocean because it's no good XD. I'm not a pro nor need it so I won't be getting it, but I'm getting that new X100V on Thursday! Super stoke about it!

What you forget is that xt line up is adored by street photographers, having it flip out to the side draws attention. I hate the screen on the EOSr , it draws attention. I can use my mobile phone with wifi if I need a self portrait

The XT4 is not Fuji’s top end camera, that would be the GFX 100. Comparing the XT line to full frame dosnt make sense to me. They serve different purposes and different people. It’s like comparing apples to jalapeños, they are both fruit but have very very different characteristics lmao.

I personally like x-t3 screen design or other screens that don't swing out on the side. I couldn't tell you exactly why but I just don't like the screen swinging out to the side

A flippy screen is the reason I'm finally getting this camera.

I hate "flippy" screens. They snag cables, clash with or don't work at all with L brackets, confuse my perspective. Funny how we've had options in so many things we buy... but when it comes to cameras we're stuck with one or the other. I would NOT buy this one.

What?? No built in tripod...this is bullsh@t...I’m mad!!🤣😂🤣

I'm not a professional photographer or prosumer or even a even a high end amateur, so the main reason I would buy a camera would be for the fun and enjoyment of the experience. The fact that Tony, who can chose virtually any camera he wants, chooses the Fuji X-T3(4) for his recreational shooting is good enough for me. I always thought the X-T1/2/3 cameras were beautiful, nostalgic, and they are now capable of doing just about anything one could ask from it. I'm sold.

When the screen is flipped out, it makes it a lot harder to position the AF point by touching the LCD, which is the fastest way to move your AF point. First, you have to move your right hand away from the grip to the left, after AF point positioning, you have to move your right hand back to the grip. With a tilt screen, you can touch the LCD to position AF point in no time with the right hand holding the grip. The LCD of Lumix S1H and Sony A-mount A99ii can make everyone happy though. You can use it both like a tilt screen and flip screen. If I have to live with a flip-out screen, I'm gonna dream about the Smart Controller AF-ON button on the Canon 1dx mkIII, which makes AF point positioning as efficient as touching the LCD.

I think they should have the flip screen on XH lines and not on XT

when is spock going to send evil tony back to the mirror dimension?

Tony, thanks for this review. I want to say that I’ve been shooting since the mid 50’s, having gone through endless camera systems along the way. I chose Fugifilm at this stage of my life for the lightness. Your argument for other full-frame cameras caused me to reflect on whether I made a mistake and in that, for my needs, haven’t. I’m not a professional but I can say I am at the personal end of the spectrum as to why I’m still shooting photos, essentially for my pleasure, not for financial reasons. So the smaller sensor works very well. If I was shooting professionally, I would have to go with the full frame for reasons you mentioned. For pleasure, I love the fugi system for its results, light weight and regarding lenses, smaller, at least to date.

The flippy screen ist for videographers the tilty screen for photographers. They should release separate cameras

Does this guy even know what he is talking about? Megapixels? More light in full frame sensors? XT-4 top end camera? Oh boy, give me some of that wine!

Oh man Tony, I know you are a sony-man, so I was surprised that the first part of your video was rather objectively , but the rest of it is disapointing sony biased again .Why do you call the XT4 a midrange camera? There is no doubt that it is the very top-end APS-C camera in the market today, blowing away the rest of the competitors in every single aspect!! And with this specs it is also competing with the most of the top end FF cameras out there, including sony. If the XT4 was a FF camera with the same specs otherwise, I am sure that it would also blow a away many of the FF mirrorless cameras out there, also in regard to ergonomics and handling, built quality, color science, EVFs and touch screens, menu Systems, etc. So you find the Fujifilm XH1 feeling plasticly-yreally? I had a Sony A9 for a few months, and this was feeling really plasticly compared with the amazingly well built XH1!! Even the EVF and the touch screen were superior to the highly prized Sony A9. Furthermore, you complain about the size and the relatively low resolution of the LCD-screen? May I ask you about the specs of the LCD-screens of top-end Sony FF-bodies like the A7rIV or the A9II? They have the exactly the same size(3"), but even lower resolution!!! (1.440.00 Sony vs. 1.620.00 Fuji). And the screen of the XT4 is fully articulating!-a feature many V-Loggers have asked for, and not in the first line for making selfies!! So which camera has the better LCD screens? The 'midrange' Fuji for 1700 bugs or the top-end Sonys for over 4000 bugs? And the price will drop also. In my opinion, the Fujifilm XT4 is in no way a midrange camera exept for its price!! It is superior in many aspects to many of the mirriorless stuff out there. Of course it has some limitations compared to FF cameras, but they are not as big as many people think!!

I have cameras with both kinds of screens and I find myself rarely pulling them out of place so either will work for me.

After this video, I think I can use my Xt-3 five more years.

“It just so happens that my shoulders are wider than the camera” 😂😂😂

Well done Fuji, really fantastic upgrades! I will say I love the flip up down and out screen of my XT100. I think this style screen would have divided opinion less. However, I do appreciate the Canon/Pany style flip screen can fold back on itself to protect the screen which is a big plus.

Crazy glare/reflection off the big screen in your new set. Need to adjust the lighting ... New set-up looks sharp otherwise.

People complaining about the flip screen... “we don’t want more functionality or versatility” ... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Flippy screen makes sense. Sometimes when conducting an interview in a small room, the camera is up against the wall and it is not possible to stand behind it to see the screen👍

You can’t promise we will love it for street photography, since that’s based on the fallacy that your taste is everyone else’s. Everyone is different. I have tilt and fully articulated screen cameras, and I always use the tilt screen camera for street photography since the subject never sees the screen. When I use a fully articulate screen, the subject often notices and stops the behaviour I’m trying to photograph. Oh, and I broke a GH5 screen at the hinge 5 weeks after it was released. Again, I’m glad you haven’t had it happen to you, but your experience isn’t everyone’s

Lmaooo Tony what was that blonde voice over??? 🤣🤣🤣

S1h screen is the best of both worlds - flip + tilt (2-way)

As an xt2/xh1 owner and photographing 99% of the time, I see nothing here worth the upgrade and a few things against an upgrade (though I'm happy for Fuji technical success).

Top five problems with the X-T4 according to this guy. (1) Does not come with built-in bottle opener. (2) No Google Assistant integration. (3) Cannot survive a fall when thrown off a bridge from a moving vehicle. Relatedly, no parachute included in box with kit lens. (4) Fuji. That's only four letters. Canon and Nikon BOTH have five letters. That's 25% more letters. (5) No 64K video.

Also he claims APSC has no size advantage over FF but ignores the fact that lenses for APSC are smaller and lighter.

Maybe I’ll upgrade from XT1 to XT 3 now

This channel feels like if walmart had a talk show about cameras.

I'm a Canon DSLR user and I really miss the flip screen that my 60D had but my 7D2 and 5D4 lack. Shooting low angle landscapes or flower macros in the field without being able to turn the screen 90° up is literally a pain. All the flippy hate from people who've never actually used one is ridiculous.

Fully articulated screens are excellent. Ideal for low angle / level portraits and protecting the screen in transit. As well as vlogging.

People will always look for a way to find fault in something, it's like they feed off it. It just shows that in the end, you can't please everyone. I'm definitely getting this day one though.

I do own both myself, flip and tilt, and tilt makes your setup SO much more discrete. Articulate/flip automatically grows your footprint significantly, and if you're a low angle shooter, like parents, shooting from hip level is quite common, and a minor tilt does not grow your footprint at all.... that said, parents can use the flippy for family portraits, it's somewhat helpful but by the time you back away from the camera.... not really. If you cant figure out the advantages of a tilt screen, you probably havent used it enough. Removing/Packing the camera bag, you dont even need to close the tilt screen all the way, good luck leaving your articulating screen open and stuffing it in your bag. There are obviously advantages of both systems, Canon literally makes both types of screens, fuji makes both types, not everyone is a youtuber, and dealing with an articulating screen all day long can get finnicky.

Im kinda excited im not writing off the xt4 but then im still rocking my xt1 and have no complaints

Forget Selfie use for the flip-screen. I have used my camera on a monopod (Canon T5i) and used the flip screen to allow me to see salmon jumping up stream, from the articulated screen. Comes in REAL handy. Also, when shooting over hedges and walls (again on a monopod), I can angle the screen downward, so I can see shots over the barriers...

10:18. Not sure I follow your logic here. "I love it, so you will too." Nah. Haha. People have different preferences. I've used a fully articulating screen many times for photography and absolutely hate the usability of it. Is it handy for making my KZfaq videos? You bet. For my real estate work, wedding work and photography in general, the tilting screen of my X-T2 is much more enjoyable. If they had implemented a design similar to the X-T100 or S1H, I think it would have satisfied both camps.

why doesnt cmera mfgs just make the same camera with two screen options? same model just specify which style flipscreen you want....they obviously can do both with the same body

Yes, by any objective standard, the x-t4 will be excellent. However, I found the x-t3 to be just heavy enough to make shooting with one hand uncomfortable for long periods. The x-t4 may be even worse. I prefer a tilt screen because it stays behind the camera and can be pushed up faster. It also allows more room on the right side of the camera, so the controls don't have to be pushed under the base of the thumb. I wouldn't be complaining about this if the x-pro3 hadn't been gimped. I only think a center-mounted viewfinder makes sense for long, heavy lenses. Props to them for replicating Panasonic's boost IS, legitimately excellent feature.

A fully articulated screen is not panacea, and there are legitimate reasons why photographers may not want them for their needs. Stop acting like you're the only person that's used a fully articulated screen, most everyone who's had a digital camera has had one at some point. I've used them and dislike the extra motion/size they induce when you want to do something so simple as a low-level discreet shot. The simplicity of the old screen was brilliant, this is just a feature that should have been reserved for a more video-focused body like the X-H line.

i have a X-T3 and want IBIS ))

is it unfair to say the canon RP is cheaper at 950$ when on release it was 1299$? and only after time and people unwilling to buy the camera that canon had to update it and lower the price to be something more appealing? though its still unfair comparison to see the 70-200 canon since its the smallest of it's kind when the nikon/sonys are going to be bigger- then again that canon 70-200 gets longer when zoomed in and might looks as smaller as shown in the video. or its wider because its full frame, or heavier??

Love the flip screen!! It’s what i have used for years in my Canon. It’s amazing to use for photos, vlogs, everything - especially when you shoot above a crowd or want an ariel style shot.

I can't believe people complain about a flip screen... Nobody is forcing anyone to flip the screen. Just use the screen however you need to.

More light is not gathered with 35mm sensors than APS-C. Sensors are not solar panels. Exposure values are equivalent per unit area.

The most annoying feature on my Olympus EM5 II is the side flip screen. Its much harder for me to compose an image with the screen off to one side and not in line with the lens. Has it ever been useful? sure but it has been fare more annoying than useful. The argument that I could just not flip the screen to the side is not valid because than I also can't tilt it to view from above or below and this is what I need a tilting screen for.

May I suggest checking the reflection of your lights on your monitor before recording next time?

All good reasons, but for me flippy screen is no good and dealbreaker. For the way i shoot i need a tilting screen only

No wonder people have everything in US. The prices are just through the floor.

I for one am actually keen on the flippy screen. When we were travelling around Europe 5 years ago we didn't get very many photos of the two of us together, we got a couple of selfies with my iPhone or my husband's point and shoot pocket camera. I shot (and still shoot) on an X-Pro1 and took plenty of beautiful landscape and street shots. When we were on a bridge leaving Carcassonne a family asked us to take their picture with their camera which I did so then asked them to return the favour using my camera, what we got was a photo with brilliant colour reproduction, the fort in the background in perfect focus and us two a blur in the front. Really bloody annoying. Therefore I am eagerly looking forward to finally upgrading my camera body with this one. Our next holiday will have a few good selfies of me and my family amongst all my landscape shots.

the x-t3 screen has the screen angles i need already without taking it out and I can just 'bop' it back in place when I'm done. there's no need to extend my camera nearly 2x the width on the xt4 just to tilt the screen, then flipping it back to fold into its place. shoulders are wider than screen and camera, but i don't shoot from my chest.

17:30 no headphone jack in the body, but one can use a usb-c adapter

I am an XT3 user . I shoot stills . No way will I upgrade to an XT4 ...the changes are videocentric ...wish Fuji would pay more attention to stills photography eg a sensor with bigger photosites even if it means fewer pixels . Ibis only counters camera shake it cannot reduce moving subject motion blur . Any still still photographer who invokes ibis and uses a lower shutter speed will find that the motion blur is worse . Videographers will be glad of the changes stills photographers not .

Every time a camera comes out, we have to rehash the tilt vs flip screen debate. In reality, they are sidegrades. The screen of the Fuji x-t100, Panasonic s1h, and Sony a99 mark 2 demonstrate that we can have tilty screens that face forward. Let's push for those.

exposure doesn't change because of sensor size

All of the other KZfaq reviewers: X-T4 First Impressions! Tony : X-T4 People are MAD (Hate in Thumbnail) *SONY FANBOI TRIGGERED*

This camera is so tempting BUT I'm still a Sony guy right now. Thanks for your thoughts.

I can already use the Fuji app to frame and trigger selfie shots with the X-T3. (Not in the market for the X-T4 anyways, but might be a buyer for a future X-T5 which might have the same screen.)

I get the 'buffer is not enough' point from a theoretic persective, but in reality it will rarely or not pose a problem. Last month I shot with my X-T2 wildlife in Antarctica on continuously and I got zero problems. And that was done for multiple seconds in RAW.

Why bother watching this now that the official launch has just occurred? Possibly to just spot the Sony sponsored criticism I guess.

also keep in mind the XT3 and XT4 has the same guts and Fujirumors says the XT3 is getting a firmware update to match the AF improvement and other firmware goodies of the XT4

No, the Fuji primes are much smaller and lighter than other systems. The 'Fujicrons' are amazing, yes they are only F2.0 (F2.8 equivalent) but they are sharp, water resistant and produce exceptional photos, and the entire range of 'Fujicrons' can fit in your coat pockets, no need for a camera bag! The 56mm FR1.2 when compared to the other FF 85mm 1.8 'elephants' one finds that the output is almost indistinguishable. For a man who claims to like his X-T3 you are doing a poor sell. Fuji produces a series of very light and small professional standard prime lenses and you fail to acknowledge this here. The X-T3 is also not a "mid-range camera". It is a professional camera used by professionals. Of course it does not compete with the 1DX Mark III for sports action photography, but the X-T3 is not designed to be a sports action camera, perhaps the X-T4 will be more suited to this type of photography? Anyhow no camera is perfect for all types of photography, the 1DX Mark III is a shocking travel camera and would be terrible for wedding photography, but....the X-T4 could very well be the closest we get in 2020 to the near perfect 'all round' professional camera.

Thinking of keeping our XT3 after getting XT4 as a second to keep the compact folding screen for photo work (and it's lighter.)

To be fair, Fuji's top end camera is their medium format camera.

Being landscape photographer who never shoots videos, I use a L-Bracket on tripod for portrait-orientation when I want to shoot a pano/stitch and this screen likely won't work well (if at all). The original 3 way screen X-T series has had from the beginning was perfect. I wouldn't say I am mad, or hate...just likely won't upgrade X-T3 to X-T4 ...but not sure I would anyway, X-T3 has worked very well and not really needing one. I am curious to see how photographers like me would deal with L-Bracket.

15:40 I'll have to correct you a little there Mr. Northrup. While Fuji do have limits in terms of resolution, and magepixel count on an APS-C, but Fuji does have the option Medium Format cameras.

NO REVOLUTION BETWEEN XT3 AND XT4 in coadecs firmwares , ONLY IBIS FLIPPING SCREEN BATTERY ARE NOT SO LONG INDEED.. SO FOR ME I KEEP THE XT3 WAITING THE XH2 IN 2021

Regardless of sensor size, I've not been able to produce images of the same quality with the eos r. I'm not saying it can't, I'm just saying I don't get nearly the output from the r. And I'm a long time Canon shooter. Eyes of the gfx100 now for studio work. Fuji's actual top of the line.

Tony: smartphones now have amazing cameras and great picture quality Also Tony: you would no longer have to rely on a crappy smartphone selfie

I use an A73 for video but it doesn’t have 4K60 and the eye AF does not work in video. It looks like the flip screen will be a big problem when you plug in an HDMI & USB-C cables. It doesn’t look like you can filter the screen up or down because it will hit the cables. a cage (with a handle on the left side) doesn’t look like it will work either

I currently have a Nikon d7100, which has an APS-C sensor. One reason I want to upgrade/change is that the noise performance is not that good after ISO 400 and other features like color science and IBIS I feel somehow limited with my old camera. One concern I have with the XT3 and XT4 (both have the same sensor) is noise performance and dynamic range, DR seems to be even lower compared to D7100, and because XT3/XT4 has more pixels in the same sensor area (24MP vs 26MP) it means the pixel is smaller and more susceptible to noise. I have heard some criticism with XT3 noise performance and in the XT4 announcements, I do not see any upgrade in the sensor or processor... I guess I will have to wait some months for other camera releases and future reviews of XT4 to see if they improved the manufacturing process or the noise performance by firmware...

Great review as always 👍 got to disagree with one statement though Tony, "the xh1 feels more plastic"? It's made of the exact same magnesium alloy as the xt1 /xt3 but it's 25% thicker with a hardened surface and a strengthened lens mount for bigger lenses. I have the xt3 and xh1 and the build quality of the xh1 is definitely a step up and feels more professional

"Fuji tops out at midrange" Sure... If you consider a $10,000 GFX midrange...

Fuji has Medium format 50 and 100 Mpixel cameras... How does this equate to "Fuji tops out at the mid range"?

Yes, put in a in-screen fingerprint reader. It's high time camera manufacturer get updated in this area. Don't think it's that expensive to implement when budget to mid range phones are implementing it.

When you flip out the screen the line from the objective to the motif and the view are not any longer in the same plane! Secondly the screen protrudes sideways representing a danger for dammage and signal a photographer ready to fire!

Broooooooooooo, you still owe canonrumors an apology for the EOS R5 info you called fake.

The whole anti-flip screen thing is just silly. If you don't like it, don't open it. It's pretty simple.

Nice glance at the new X-T4. I like your videos ! Personaly I own a X-H1 and a X-T20. Went from CANON to Fujifilm primarily because of the viewfinder. The 3.690.000 dots in the X-H1 one were brilliant two years ago and still surpasses the SONY alpha 7 III.

Real issue with the flip screen for me is that it interferes with l brackets. So as a mainly landscape photographer using a tripod it is a genuine problem.
