\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night, Fujifilm announced the brand new X-T4<\/a>, the new flagship camera in the X Series lineup. The obvious successor to the already awesome X-T3, the X-T4 adds the one thing that a lot of people have been pining for: IBIS, or In-Body Stabilization.<\/p>\n

In a way, the X-T4 fills two roles. Not only does it improve on the X-T3’s impressive performance, it takes over for the discontinued X-H1 as a stabilized sensor camera. Using a series of magnets instead of springs, the X-T4’s IBIS allows for an even smaller footprint inside the camera, and improves accuracy up to 8 times better than what the X-H1 offered.<\/p>\n

Designed for shooting extremely high quality stills and video, the X-T4 also solves the number one problem that many X Series users were facing, especially when shooting video or when using the camera in extreme cold:<\/p>\n

It has a bigger battery. 👍<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As X-H1 users noticed, the 5-Axis In-Body Stabilization uses more battery power, and with heavy video shooting, the NP-126S battery didn’t always last very long. Switch to 4K and battery life is even shorter.<\/p>\n

The X-T4<\/a> uses a brand new NP-W235 battery, which is said to provide an average of around 400-600 shots per change, as opposed to the 300-400, which is typical for the NP-126. When shooting 4K video, the X-T4’s battery life is spec’d at 110 minutes, vs. 55 minutes for the X-T3.<\/p>\n

Add in the new VG-XT4 Vertical Battery Grip<\/a>, and you can get up to 1,700 frames per charge<\/strong> and dramatically increase your video shooting time. There’s also a Dual Battery Charger for the new NP-W235 batteries.<\/p>\n

Main Camera Specs<\/h2>\n

On a base level, the X-T4 looks very similar to the X-T3 under the hood. It has the same Back Side Illuminated 26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor<\/strong>, and Fuji’s X Processor Pro image processing chip. So, image and video quality essentially remain the same.<\/p>\n

Both cameras have a native ISO range between 160 and 12,800, and both cameras shoot Full HD<\/strong>, High Speed (Slow Motion) Full HD<\/strong>, and DCI\/UHD\u00a0<\/strong>4K at up to 60p<\/strong> (59.94p) at up to 400Mbps, with a shutter range of 1\/4 sec to 1\/8,000 sec. In addition, the X-T4 allows you to choose ether MOV format or MP4 video format. This gives you even more flexibility for sharing\/uploading your video files.<\/p>\n

With its increased power, though, the X-T4 can shoot an impressive 15 frames per second<\/strong> when using the mechanical shutter. Compare that to the X-T3’s 11 fps max. Using the electronic shutter, both cameras can shoot at up to 30 fps, and both cameras use Fuji’s awesome PRE-SHOT ES setting.<\/a><\/p>\n

Both the X-T4 and X-T3 have 100% phase detect pixel coverage on the sensor and use the same autofocus system.<\/p>\n

However, with updated AF algorithms, the X-T4 now has even faster focus performance, <\/strong>better AF tracking, highly improved Face and Eye Detection AF,<\/strong>\u00a0and higher sensitivity for acquiring and tracking subjects in low light.\u00a0<\/strong>The X-T4’s AF system will focus down to -6.0EV, which is nearing the level of complete darkness.<\/p>\n

New Features<\/h2>\n

The X-T3 contains a number of new features, some of which were first introduced into the X-Pro 3 late last year, like CLARITY, COLOR CHROME BLUE FX, and the HIGHLIGHT\/SHADOW Tone Curve setting.<\/p>\n

However the X-T4 takes it up a notch and offers the HIGHLIGHT and SHADOW Tone Curve controls with\u00a0half stop adjustments.<\/strong> This give you even more flexibility for capturing your scenes exactly how you want them to look right inside the camera.<\/p>\n

It also has three “Boost” modes that change the responsiveness LCD and EVF, depending on what you’re shooting.<\/p>\n
