Link to the LUTS & Presets for Fuji cameras https://www.Sellfy.com/adityavarma The most awaited video of this channel probably might end up the most controversial. I have put everything out there loud and clear, What I think of this camera. This is my personal take on the new beast of a camera. I hope it helps you with your buying decision. I have spent quite a lot of time with the camera. I would like to know your thoughts on the camera and the things I might be wrong about in the video.

@gregoryedwards89184 years ago Aditya, i think you totally nailed that review on the xt4! It was fair, balanced and optimistically helpful.

well done sir. 11

@BenHolbrookFilms4 years ago Fantastic review, aditya. I' ve been looking forward to this for ages! So nice to hear your approach to the camera as well as your thoughts on it. Also i still feel like the only/main real improvement is the ibis.
also, a lot of people talk about how you can switch more easily between photo and video mode while maintain settings, but i have that on my xt3 as i keep my video settings on movie silent mode (i only use the touch screen in video and the manual dials in photo)
i want the xt4 but also think the xh2 might be a better jump up from the xt3.
thanks for your review bro. Happy shooting!. ...Expand 1

@BTMovieSecondChannel2 years ago Hey aditya! I need your advice.
currently, i own a x-t3, but it needs to be repaired soon. This will mean i cant use my camera for quite a few w would you advice me to go for another x-t3, so i will have two of the exact same bodies, or an x-t4, so i also reap some extra benefits (ibis, battery, better grip) my main use cases: promotional videos, event videos, wedding photography andphotography.
the x-t3 is within my budget, the x-t4 would cost 10 more if you add the extra accessoires needed (battery grip, battery charger, new batteries) and is more of a stretch. Also, i think the x-t4 ibis looks decent to great for handheld static shots, but is pretty digital looking for walking or panning shots. So i wonder if it might be better to purchase an extra x-t3 now and wait for a x-t5 with updated ibis.
love to hear from ya!. ...Expand

@faisalsheraz81014 years ago Excellent review. The autofocus issue or subject tracking has been reported by some reviewers not most of them, so this is something to do with quality control or operating issue. 2

@GajanBalan4 years ago Thank you for producing this. Absolutely loved this video! 2

@anhu924 years ago Great video! Very good detailed explanations! I' m wondering though, is there a reason why you have chosen to use xt3/xt4 over the bmpcc 4k/6k? 2

@gregoryedwards89184 years ago Spot on aditya, spot on! Fuji, fuji. Listen to this man. He has nailed this review and if there ever is an xh2, please, please take his not only will mr. Varma be buying an xh2, so will i. And i have him to thank for his experience with the xt3 and bought that body and love it. Now give us the xh2 that those of us who are into video are waiting for.
great to see you again aditya as always. And yes you nailed this review. ...Expand 1

@nlassim17624 years ago Did you try the 16-55 for autofocus? It seemed to be pretty decent on the xt-4? And thanks for your very interesting and helpful videos. 2

@gmcubed3 years ago Hey, a bit off topic but can you tell me the name of that movie you have on netflix? I believe you said you shot a movie almost entirely on an xt3 but can' t remember. 1

@branjobu964 years ago Hi aditya, thank you so much for sharing this information. I' m currently having a little bit of analysis paralysis with choosing the kit sony a7i i will be using it primarily for social media and web content creation and commercial event photography and videography. Where i' m at, everyone chose the sony a7i because of its autofocus but man fuji has a lot of potential and i' m in love with the colors, portability and ease of use.
maybe you get this question a lot but if you' re in my position what would you pick?
thanks man and i' m excited to see more fuji footage from you!. ...Expand 1

@LalitChoudharyFilms4 years ago Hi sir. I recently bought xt3, before xt4 launched. And i mostly do videos only. So would you prefer upgrading? And if yes, where can i exactly sell this one? 1

@michaelalejandro60563 years ago Thank you for your insight; your work is amazing and inspiring. Right now im looking at this or the black magic 4k. Still not sure which to get. In coming from a canon t6i. 1

@jamessonfield4 years ago Great review, what do you consider to be the best all round lens for video? 18-35? 1
@

@sa34w4 years ago I love the vibe of your video. But i think it will be nice if you include some more artistic videos in this review. That would really help us identify the potential of camera. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work bro. 1

@deccawatt57414 years ago Interesting. What you are saying about the differences in af between xt3 and 4. I often see videos showing af problems that don' t match my experience with xh1. 1
