Fujifilm XT4 Review // worth it in 2021? a Videographer's Perspective

EXTRA NOTES:
+ Slow-motion is really good. The 1080p 120fps is incredible. You don’t get audio, but I don’t need it when I’m shooting and slowing it down. The 240fps is as good as the light you give it. It does line-skipping on the recording I think so the resolution doesn’t look amazing unless you feed it a LOT of light.
+ The Fuji app just sucks. IT’S SO BAD.
+ Fuji just recently released a firmware update allowing for smooth exposure stepping in auto ISO and shutter.
+ ^This is another point: Fuji’s frequent firmware updates for cameras both new & old are amazing. I love to see a company supporting their cameras.

Hey everyone, YouTube deleted all of my comments because I moved my channel to a new account! If you have any questions leave me a new comment! And as always, if you want to support my channel...

John is one of my absolute favorite camera youtubers. Seriously, this is how you tell about a camera. Plenty of footage, most important details right off the bat, calm and well explained... the fact you don't have more subscribers is mindblowing. Keep up the good work!

[qsam]

I’ve been looking for a hybrid camera. Photography and vlogging. This video really captures my aesthetic

[jwanger]

Probably the Best Fuji footage I’ve seen. Your style is my goal. I’m rocking the XT3 til some sort of insight comes on an XH2. Your clips make me want to go out and shoot, thanks man.

Probably one of the best reviews on the XT4 on YouTube! Subscribed and Notified. Well Done John. X from New Zealand

GREAT video! The reasons? You are not trying to be a comedian. You don't talk so fast I can't absorb anything. You don't mumble, like one famous reviewer we know. Your hat isn't on backwards. No jive talkin'. No vulgarity or bleeped vulgarity. You don't talk in Cockney. And your videos are surreally beautiful instead of boring. That means no skateboarding and no auto-focus tests on fence posts. Now I really want an XT-4, and I just ordered a GH5 and lens. Thanks for ruining my day!

[method]

That french press footage was absolutely stunning. Well done

[ObservingBeauty]

Much needed video! The quality of footage that you present here, speaks for itself! Thank you

[Suyorukun]

Wow. Simply the best review of the Fuji Xt-4 on Youtube. Keep up the good work !

[OracleFP]

A very honest review I would say, I have had an XT4 for several months now, and always keen to learn how to get the best out of it.

[lvminh]

I'm using X-T4 too & couldn't say how much I love it among the other X-100V & Sony A7RIII. I look forward to your sharings on X-T4 more. Great jobs & thanks for the sharings. Liked & subscribed.

This is hands down one of the best reviews of this camera.

[NarendraChennamsetty]

Such an amazing review, sold me on getting the XT-4

[exerciseenlightenment]

Happy you are not going to be a review channel but showing us what the camera does. I am new to having a real camera and recently got XT4.So thank you for the video.

[MsSana]

The best XT-4 Review video. I recently purchased the XT-4 and this has been really helpful. Thanks! And such beautiful footage.

[futron]

I so enjoy with your sample footage, nice color, nice composition

[SeanSeesMedia]

John, I'm halfway through this video, but just wanted to say thanks for this and the other videos you've done on the x-t4. I bought an x-t4 a few months ago and haven't even taken a single photo or video on it yet. mostly because i have a canon dslr that I have used for a few years and a ton of glass for the canon that I'm already super familiar with and comfortable using. I also haven't really done much video stuff lately, only photo, and the canon is fine for that. It's 1080P and 8bit with no log, which is why I picked up the fuji for stepping up video work when I have it. Your videos have given me the confidence to start playing with it a bit as I feel I have a much better starting point after watching this video and some of your others. This is what I needed to give me the push to dive into my x-t4! Keep up the great work. Production quality on your vids is amazing and they just have a really great feel/vibe to them that makes them enjoyable to binge watch.

At 22:20 you did not take out the audio of the video you were showing. I think you're pretty awesome based off this video. I subscribed.

[SwitchbackGuitars]

I’ve got an XS10 on the way and your videos have me totally stoked.

[chinye]

i do not own a fujifilm camera and I got no idea why did I watch the entire video! I just had my first camera Canon m6 ii to start learning photography and videography. Keep up the good content!
