Hey Pete, came back to watch this again. I've been thinking about what/when I will go for a newer body as an upgrade for my X-T3 from time to time. The only reason is that I've had it for 2 1/2 years now and want to do research when the time comes to start shopping. For a while based only upon cost I thought a good used X-T4 might be the best choice. But, I'm also thinking that most used X-T4 bodies have probably really been used. So, the research continues!! Thanks for the thoughts!!!

Af is the biggest drawback of the XT4. The 5 is a significant improvement but Fuji still has a way to go to match Sony and Canon in the video af department. If you tweak the settings you can get much better results than the standard out of the box setup. It just takes a little experimentation.

might be a stupid question but does the megapixel count also apply to videos or just photos? i really would love a fujifilm camera for vlogging primarily.

@PeteCocoPhoto

Жыл бұрын

There are probably others who can answer this question better than me. But the practical answer is to look at the megapixels you want for stills, and then look at the video specs in the same camera to make sure they match your needs. For vlogging you don't need anything higher than 4k video, but there are other factors that come into play as well (crop factors, frame rates, af speeds, etc). My advice is to look at the entire video specs and still specs to find the camera that matches your needs, and there are plenty of great Fujifilm options for this. Hope this helped!

I went to our local camera store and I found the XT5 too tiny and the H2S too deep for my palm. So I am stuck.

Hi! I’m a little late to this post, but did you take a decision? I’m in the same situation and idk what to do haha

I am not sure why people keep missing this major difference between the X-T5 vs X-T4 and in my opinion is even better than the X-H2x line. That is the fact you have 7 custom settings for video, and further 7 controller settings for photography. This is not like on the X-T4 where the the parameters you can set are limited. They are for pretty much everything for both video and audio. I have just been to India and this made my who experience so much easier, especially flicking between video and audio settings. As a hybrid system as long as you set up your buttons correctly to switch between custom settings, this blows the PASM system of the X-H2 and X-H2S out of the water (especially as when you select them they are given your names settings).

I actually bought the camera for that feature alone - and is easily worth it for the uplift over an X-my previous X-T4. The 40M sensor is just a bonus TBH, I am not a pixel peeper. The 6.2K video is pretty awesome though.

I'm looking hard at the X-T4 for several reasons. I have large hands, so I prefer the larger body. I prefer using the EVF and love the LCD on the X-T4 because it flips completely out of the way, which it does not on the X-T5. They are both made in China (boo Fuji, boo 😞) but the X-T4 feels better built in the hand. Totally agree, AF is entirely dependent on the lens you use.

I loved their color slide film and I always souped my own and now I love working with their cameras. Like fishing with a bamboo rod or shifting own gears I find the user experience of external numbered knobs and and f--stops on my lenses a far superior to buttons and menus.
