I just hope the 4K will be solid without too much rolling shutter and that the IBIS doesn’t exhibit any warping when shooting at 24mm. And please no fucking overheating. How hard can it be? Fuji dropped the ball with X-T4.

Isn’t the upcoming R6 much more interesting though? I sincerely hate the megapixel race and still think the output of the Nikon D700 is unmatched. I really hope they put an updated version of the 20 mpx sensor from 1dxiii in the R6, since the rolling shutter of the 1dxiii is fucking atrocious in 4K video (both 5.5k raw and 10bit hevc). Seeing that the X-T4 is compromised because of poor heat management and too much warping when shooting anything wider than 24mm in full frame terms, the 2020 camera releases got a put less exciting, the Corona crisis notwithstanding.

There’s going to be a nasty rolling shutter on that 8K. But great for static shots. I’m more intrigued by the R6. Has anybody heard more about that one? According to Canon rumors it’s not gonna have a magnesium alloy body (probably plastic), and be more shaped like the RP.

I sat through this video so you don’t have to, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news: the camera showed signs of overheating really quickly. Yes, they seem to be in a very warm climate but according to the reviewer warnings about overheating popped up within minutes. If this will be the case with the finished production copies, it will certainly not be suitable for any serious work. Ominous to say the least, especially since there are several reports about issues with the X100V as well, from overheating to misaligned focus rings. Shame on you Fujifilm.

It can be turned way down, more so than many other cameras I’ve owned. The Z6 produces a stellar image with loads of dynamic range in flat, unfortunately its only 8 bit.

@Juan Melara I know you probably get this all the time but you’re a genius and a prophet.

@Django If we’re doing the whole anecdotal thing I can safely say I would prefer the Made in China Fuji’s. I had two X-T2s, both brand new, and both wonky, one had the screen misaligned and the other had the faux leather on the grip out of place. They both had a weird smell as well. I also bought a brand new X100F, made in Japan of course, and the screen in the viewfinder got permanently stuck so I had to get a new copy. Owned two different X-T3s as well, both felt really well put together and I had zero problems with their functionality, never had them lock up not even once, and they never overheated. My current made in Japan Nikon Z6 has the card door all out of place with at least two millimeters of play from the body. And I never buy gray market products, always from a reputable retailer in Sweden.

There are plenty of examples on Youtube where they show off IBIS only, with EIS disabled.

The camera is definitely weather sealed. From Fuji's website: "The X-T4 features an all-new fixed-axis 6.5-stop* in-body image stabilization (IBIS) mechanism and a new large-capacity battery that enables extended hours of shooting. These new components are housed inside a compact weather-sealed body that is dust- and moisture-resistant, capable of working at temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius. The ergonomic grip allows you to hold the camera steady even when using larger telephoto lenses."

It love the Z6 and the output but I’ve always had a soft spot for Fujifilm and sort of waited for them to release a camera like this (IBIS, internal 10-bit, 4k60). There’s also something about the lcd and viewfinder lag when in video mode with the Z6 that annoys me and that I never really could get over. For stills though the Z6 is great and I might have to rebuy it when they finally release their compact primes

https://www.fujirumors.com/fujifilm-x-t4-first-official-product-images-leaked/ I think it looks sexy all boxy and black with sharp edges. Just worried it might overheat. Otherwise an instabuy- bye bye Z6.

Nokishita just leaked the full spec sheet. https://doc-0g-ao-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/5nmdmcnfio76k738otv2dej37qfi8dhb/cmn1pi8n2jhv2u2d7ilm9uajg3ocatts/1582228800000/01433304230180543164/05935394919779228397Z/1iX8rilmgVJwsmYQKF145o3Cu8HJ8A0sR?e=download&nonce=3rpfss69n43fo&user=05935394919779228397Z&hash=enf3917f6e2i3spe7si0rvdr5g359fu0

First leaked images of the X-T4. Hard to tell but it doesn’t look huge and it’s certainly no X-H2 body wise. https://www.fujirumors.com/leaked-fujifilm-x-t4-full-size-images-front-and-back/

Personne chez Sony a dit une chose pareille.

Yup. Makes you even wonder if the sensor is gonna be an “enhanced version” of the one in the XT-3 as he previously stated...

This is true. He is nowhere near Moriyama or Fukase, not even close.

If this camera doesn't overheat and doesn't perform worse in the rolling shutter department than the X-T3, I will give Fujifilm my money instantly. I haven't been this excited since I bought my first X100-series camera.

Really disappointing decision by Fujifilm. Tatsuo has the balls to shoot that way in Europe as well, as shown in this video. https://youtu.be/707nMSGq_R8

@androidlad Any chance of improved rolling shutter performance on the updated sensor?

That statement is not only ahistorical and incorrect, it’s downright disgusting.

Wow. So because most white people don’t walk around feeling privileged removes the de facto privilege bestowed upon them for centuries? And the whole “political correct thing doesn’t connect with people” is just flat out condescending. So “ordinary people” can’t be allies, ie. decent human beings informed about questions regarding social issues? It’s so incredibly sad that these kind of topics on any forum always end up about the white man’s hurt feelings. As if the act of calling out racism is somehow inherently more hurtful than actual racism. “Politics is obsessed about skin color”, that’s funny because I think people in general are kind of obsessed about skin color (especially Sony’s on this forum), but it’s only now when the paler shade of skin is also named, not just taken as a neutral general thing. Then all of a sudden there’s an obsession - not when you scream the n-word or more recently make jokes about East Asians with regards to the corona virus. Nobody is trying to shame the hard working gaffer into believing anything, I think it’s more about including the hard working people of color when it comes to recognizing the industry. One doesn’t negate the other. And then the Japan example. Always the Japan example. Let’s not go to the extremely weird exotification of this “monocultural” country where everything is so special and great because of their monoculture. Because it isn’t.

I think he was very coherent and everything he said was on point. He seemed a lot more unhinged when he gave his acceptance speech on the golden globes when he went on and on about climate change. Glad he speaks out on systemic issues though. Why shouldn’t he?

I find these specs utterly laughable: 8k raw? 4k120? hahahahahah Oh, they posted some clarifications: 8K @ 30fps RAW As suggested on Twitter by a reader, this could perhaps be a timelapse feature. Things get messed up in translation and excitement. 4K@120fps & 4K@60fps It’s possible that the video features such as this could come with a heavy crop to get the heat down.

I think its really down to heat managment. Lots of tests out there show that the xt30 for example overheats rather quickly, even when recording externally
