Nuked The x-t4 is the latest flagship mirrorless camera. It looks very similar to the x-t3 introduced in 2018.
Ibis is the second camera in Fujifilm’s lineup to gain IBIS. It helps you capture tack sharp images at slow shutter speeds that, on the x-t3, would likely come out blurry. Here, there’s no need to dial up the shutter speed or ISO to compensate for hand shake.
The IBIS system is better, smaller, and lighter than what it put in the x-h1. This new approach uses magnets instead of springs. 18 X-mount lenses will get 6.5 stops worth of stabilization on the x-t4.
The x-t3 was just as much a video camera as it was a stills shooter. There’s now a 240fps Super slo-mo mode, joining the 120fps frame rate that’s available on the t-3 having individual settings for both mode will make things easier for x-t4 owners.
On the x-t3, you could just tilt the screen upward towards you. But now you’ll have to pull it out to the side first. Make street shooting more obvious and heightens the risk of bumping it into something.
The x-t3’s was already sharp and immersive. There are new’boost’ modes that change the behavior of the EVF. And frame rate priority will switch the EVF to a buttery-smooth 100FPS.
The x-t4’s mechanical shutter has been reengineered and is noticeably quieter than the x-t3’s. There will be a usb-c-to-3.5mm adapter in the box for this purpose.
Fujifilm says the x-t4 has brand new algorithms for autofocus. Continuous shooting with the mechanical shutter has been bumped up to 15 frames per second.
The x-t4 and x-t4 use the same 26.1-megapixel X-Trans 4 CMOS crop sensor and contain the same X processor 4 chip. Rumors indicate that Fujifilm will bring a lot of what it can from this camera to the x-t3 in the next few months.
The x-t4 camera will be sold standalone (for $ 1,69.95 USD). It’s a new battery that’s good for up to 500 shots in normal mode or 600 if you put it into economy mode. There’s no traditional battery charger in the box, which might frustrate some people.
The x-t4 is expected to take a significant hit from production delays and constrained supply tied to the coronavirus outbreak. The goal is to have the x-t4 out sometime in April, but do n’t be surprised if you run into a lengthy wait.
In-Body image stabilization is a life-saver for people with hands on the shaky side. It opens new creative possibilities and makes an already-great video shooter even more capable.
The x-t3 is the same image sensor as the x-t3, but if it fits your photography style, the x-t4 should make for an impressive leap over its predecessor. You’re getting a new, more discreet shutter, improved autofocus, and more.
Both Nikon and Canon have joined Sony in releasing full-frame mirrorless cameras. The x-t4 can be had for around $ 100 more than the x-t4. 2019 was a great year for camera lovers, and it’s looking like 2020 could wind up even bigger.
