Thinking of the Fujifilm XT4? Save your money! Consider the XT2, XT3, or XH1.

- With the release of the Fuji XT4, it got me thinking if it would be worth the upgrade. I'll be honest, I'm normally weak and I love new gear, but this year I'm turning a new leaf and sticking with my gear until there's a major reason I need a new camera.
Since I already have the Fujifilm XT2, XT3, and XH1, I thought it'd nice to chat about them compared to the new features of the XT4.
While the XT4 looks great, since I already have a full Fuji stable, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they'll release something killer next year for the XH2.
And for those considering making the move to Fujifilm, the XT2, XT3 and XH1 are excellent choices right now since you can save a ton of money second hand, so look at your local Kijiji or Craig's List.
I ran into some audio issues, so I promise better audio in the next vid! And a big thanks in advance to the awesome CZcamsrs I follow and borrowed the clips from. Hope that's ok! Please check out their channels!

Wowza! Kudos to CZcamsrs -- making these videos takes forever! haha
Ran into some audio issues, so I promise better audio and planning for the next video. Just needed to get started, you know?
I'm sure I missed a lot of good points, so let's discuss and chat about Fuji/camera gear. I love nerding out on this stuff.
And thanks to the CZcamsrs I borrowed clips from. Please check out their channel in the description.
We're new on here, so if you have ideas for next videos let us know!
And if you watched to the end, many thanks fellow camera nerds. Cheers!
UPDATE: I was trying the XH1 with the 18-55 and there was no jump in panning, so that's win!
Thank you.
About the sideway flipping screen: on professional videocameras, the screen is also sideways/off center. I think the X-T4 is Fuji's answer to the rising demand of youtubers/vloggers. Yet I see everywhere videos that say to not buy the XT4 and go with the XT3 (I don't mean your video). Most youtube filmmakers go with the first shunned then loved Canon EOS R...so there's really no place for Fuji in the vlogger's camera arsenal. But to add to the screen poblem... when using the camera in a cage, the screen becomes completely unusable if you dont use an external monitor, but not all situations allow for a big rig with external monitor... I use the XH1 for video and photo work and I absolutely love it. Sometimes the size bothers me, but this camera is just so comfortable to hold, with or without batterygrip. XH1+batterygrip+16/23/35mm F2 and you can shoot all day long.
My suggestion to people would be: XH1 if you shoot professional handheld videowork and professional photography, XT3 if you shoot video on a gimble, XT4 if you vlog or film yourself at a desk.
One last point: I don't get Fuji's product strategy lately. They released the XH1 in early 2018 as a flagship, then 6 months later the XT3 with better specs EXCEPT IBIS was released. Now they release the XT4 with everything better AND IBIS but they still label the XH1 as flagship. The XT4 should have been the XH2 to be honest. If they come out with the XH2, what specs is it going to have? 8K internal, 6K 600fps? A brand-new AF system? More MP? It will take at least two years until the XH2 because of the XT4. Releasing an XH1 body with XT4 specs would be an underwhelming move for a flagship camera, but I digress.
Mind. Art. Creativity. Thx for taking the time to comment! And I agree with you on all points. Like any piece of gear or creating art in general, it’s all subjective you have to think hard about what tools you’ll need to create what you’re creating.
And for the Fuji line up, I know eh? It seems like the xh and xt line will just end up being the same as each other spec wise leaving the decision coming down to if you like the more DSLR body/handling over the xt body.
I love my xh1 for wedding days where it’s long shoot day’s so the ergonomics is better for video. But I like my xt3 for walk around and photography days.
Guess we’ll see what Fuji does! I’m also excited as I hear more 3rd party lenses in the making for Fuji. Should be cool to have some other options.
Stay safe!
Tuan
Hi man! I'd like to have your opinion since I'm not really sure which one to get. I'm torn between xh1 and xt3, these days, secondhand xh2 with battery grip goes arounr $850 and secondhand xt3 body only goes around $800-$850 and a brand new xt3 sells for $950-$999. I mostly do stills and portraits and I travel a lot using fuji 56mm 1.2 and 18-135mm lenses. can you give me your thoughts? I currently have xt2 and I'm selling it for the upgrade. Thank you!
Kx Jake hmmmm... good question. I think it would come down to ergonomics and weight.
The xh1 feels really good in the hand because of the dslr styling and the shutter button is so satisfying. The ibis will also be nice if you want the extra steady shot or wanted to do video here and there. But it is a heavier body.
With the xt3 it’ll handle the same as your xt2, just snappier.
So if you can handle xh1 then you can see if you like that styled ergonomics. If you like how you’re xt2 handles, then get the xt3.
Or, the xt2 is also a nice cam so perhaps wait until the prices of the xt4 drop and then jump on that.
I think you’ll feel it’s a bigger upgrade jumping to an xt4 if you can. Your xt2 should be more than capable for now.
Just my thoughts! Keep me posted on what you go for. :)
-Tuan
Excellent work! Definitely the best video I’ve seen breaking down the Fuji lineup🔥
forevermugen oh wow, thanks for the high praise! :)
Cheers, buddy!
T.
I love how quiet the shutter on my X-H1 is when comparing it to my old X-T2. It honestly makes candid photos for me much more doable since people don't tend to notice the camera much when snapping photos.
You could always go full electronic shutter so it's silent, but yes, I know what you mean. The xh1 shutter is also really satisfying so it's like you get to hear it but it's not obtrusive to the rest of the world. :)
Well made video my friend. I felt at home listening to you ❤️
Neoterixx awww thanks, buddy! That’s very kind of you! Hope all is well wherever you are. A hell of a year eh?
Started my fujifilm journey last year with X-E2 and X-T1. I love shooting with them. The X-E2 is my daily carry with a 27mm. X-T1 is my more serious shooter for events. I think the X-T4 will be my jump up to replace the T1. Thanks for the video.
Ahhh sweet! You’ll notice a huge improvement in autofocus and overall speed during boot up and usability going from xt1 to xt4. Definitely worth the upgrade in your situation.
Let me know what you think of it if you snag one up! Cheers, Jaime!
-Tuan
Agreed. The X-T3 is still a beast! Definitely still worth getting, especially with the price drop.
Some great deals on the used market right now. 👍🏼
Thx for taking the time, Dylan!
-Tuan
I got the X-T3 pretty recently. I’ve been loving it so far!
Welcome to the Fuji fam! :) I made a video on settings so if you’re not using the command dials to change your shutter and iso, I would check it out. Makes shooting easier and faster!
A Xt-4 is $200 more than the Xt-3 so I feel for two hundred dollars you're getting a lot more. Flip out screen, 240fps, bigger battery, better weather sealing, etc. The Xt-4 seems like a good deal to me.
I hear ya. I was referring to a used xt3. Then you save about 1k so it’s worth considering. However, if money isn’t an issue or they are comparatively priced where you live, then for sure the xt4 is great.
I mean it’s great anyways! I was just trying to convince myself I don’t need one right now lol.
Cheers!
Tuan
@@AtomicPixel That is the same thing you say when you own a Leica.

For some reason this is the best video about this camera I've seen so far. Maybe because you talk calmly and it wasn't a pain to listen.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! That really means a lot since this was my first video and I find I speak too fast or sometimes stumble on words. Thanks for the encouragement and I promise my videos will get better! haha
Right now I'm working on a video to quickly compare the sound from the Rode Videomicro vs Deity D3 vs Tascam Dr05x vs Sony ux560. Stay tuned!
So true!
Or that he isn't trying to sell us something new.
Just trying to do more with what I’ve got! :)
Atomic Pixel And I appreciate it. So many channels are so focused on new gear to push referral sales these days. It's hard to know of they're being honest or pulling a used car salesmen routine.
I definitely think you nailed it. Its tough to be patient waiting for the next version of the XH series but lets face it. The XHI was only the first generation of the XH series and as good and promising as it was on intro to the market place, photography reviewers saw the need to critique a lot about the camera that needed tweaking. I was very excited by all the great specs but never felt it was a fully appealing camera. I'm also waiting for the next update to see if they listened to what it needed.
Jerry Eisner thx bro. What are you shooting with these days?
I think I’m in a good place gear wise, so unless one camera breaks or something truly compelling comes out, I think I can hold off.
I want to concentrate more on the creating and post-production side of video and photo rather than being too obsessed with gear.
But I do love gadgets/tech so I do have to check myself now and then. Lol
T.
I just got an Xt2 and honestly it still does a great job and right now it’s about 450 USD body only. I use it for architecture photography work and basic video work. It’s a joy to use and it gave me more room for lenses and other equipment that makes my workflow better.
Sweet! That’s the idea - buy for what you need. Now, I’ll be honest, I did end up picking up an xt4 around Christmas because I found a good deal and my wedding video work has really picked up this coming year.
I’ll have the do an update video to this one. Surprised this vid still gets views haha
Welcome to the Fuji fam and enjoy!
Very good and accurate real world review. Thank you.
MrMGKelly thx brother! Glad it was helpful!
T.
This video is very helpful. You are pointing out the differences and handling between these cameras from your everyday experience and not just talking about the tech specs of these cameras.. especially about x-t2, x-t3 and x-h1. It would be better if you could get your hands on a x-t4 and get first hand experience with that camera as well but, anyway.. good job. I'm wondering if there is a big difference between x-t3 and x-t30 regarding video quality and AF? Keep these videos coming.. good job.
Vasko Nakovski thanks, brother! Agreed, maybe one day when we’re big enough Fuji will send me a copy. That would be so cool!
As far as I know, they’re the same sensor (xt30 and xt3) so I would think you’ll get the same results in a small body. Heck, even between the xt3 and xh1 you likely couldn’t tell a difference unless you had them side by side.
Put it this way, the xt3 is newer and “better” sensor/video quality, but I’ve been using my xh1 for video projects and xt3 for photo.
I’m almost done and edit for an interior design client. I used the xh1 handheld as we toured the home. You’ll see it’s plenty good enough! Don’t be afraid to pick up an xt30 if it’s more in your budget or if you like the form factor better. I had an xt20 and it was great to for our trips to Latvia.
Thanks for the kind works, Vasko! :)
Just bought a silver xt3, sooo good man, for photos I think the screen is better than the flip screen of the xt4
(your voice is so relaxing, very cool video to watch)
Aw thanks SO much! Really means a lot since we’re just starting out. Let me know if you have any vid ideas.
And I agree. An articulating screen isn’t as handy for photo work, but has advantages for video. The Panasonic SH1 has a cool screen. Or, even simpler, if the screen could just flip up 180 then problem solved lol.
@@AtomicPixel true!!
How is it you don't have more subs? Keep on making this quality of content and you will grow as cowl!
Thanks for the encouragement man! It really means a lot. We just started so we’re hoping to keep growing!
Stay scruffy. 👊🏼
This vid is so helpful for getting into the mid-range Fujis, thanks for the info and for the CDN prices haha. I’m eyeing down an XH1 w/ battery grip for about $1000 right now
+ if it (XH1) gets a final IBIS boost after the XT4 release it’s just going to be insane
Glad you found it helpful, bro!
If you can find a used xh1 for 1k, I’d go for it! I’m hoping fuji will update the ibis as well, but I don’t think it will happen.
However, I’m finding if I’m a little less steady then the ibis doesn’t jump as much. And with the 18-55 there is no jump and super smooth because it then gains the stabilization of the lens.
Either way, solid camera so I love it. I use it for my video works even though the xt3 quality is a touch better.
Cheers!
-Tuan
Atomic Pixel As a follow up, that $1k X-H1 is no longer. In your opinion, would you go for a newer X-H1 w/ grip at $1300 or an X-T3 at $1400 CDN? Would the future proof tech of the X-T3 be worth the $100 difference? Cheers Tuan~
Aidan Chan ooooo tough call!
2 things:
1. Do you do more photography or video?
2. The handling is different for each. Xh1 more dslr and heavier. Xt3 more semi range finder like. Thinner and lighter. No real grip like the xh1.
Atomic Pixel I’m way more video-centric, about a 70:30 split. I might fall in love with stills shooting with either though. I’d appreciate the option for primes, and I also know I’ll be taking the cam everywhere on hikes and in the elements. If only the stores were open right now I would go in and get a feel, but I’ll probably just pick one from research like this and be happy with it!
Have had an X-T3 for just under a year. Just bought an X-T4 body it was on eBay at a bargain price. The curious thing is that before I got into Fujifilm I had a whole range of Panasonic and Olympus cameras all with fully articulating screens and never had a problem with them. I have found since getting the X-T4 that like you I prefer using the centered screen on the X-T 3. Really enjoyed the video.
Thanks for sharing, Eric! This is an old video now and there definitely are benefits to the xt4.
Now that I’m getting more into the wedding world, having dual video recording is key as well as the easy switch back and forth from video to photo.
I’m hoping for good things for the xh2 so fingers crossed!
As for the screen, if you’ve used the articulating screen with other camera brands, why does it feel diff with the xt4?
Loved this so much thank you
Thanks so much!! :)
Have a pair of X-H1s that I’m more than happy with plus a pair of X-T1s, X-T2 &X--T10 so I’m more than covered for my needs😊👍Really enjoyed watching this keep them coming please 👍
Thanks so much, Phil! And wowzaaaa you are set, buddy. That's a lot of cameras!
I'm working on a lens series. Let me know if you have any thoughts for other vids. :)
I'm addicted to the XH1 shutter. If they make the XH2 with the upgraded autofocus and xt100 flip up and out screen then I'd be thrilled.
What kind of photography/video do you do?
Just subscribe. Great video. May you guys have great success. Truly deserve it.
shadedragon aww thanks so much for the support! Hope you and yours are staying safe during these times!
Great video and I like the low key vibe. I'm still super pumped about the XT4. The flippy screen isn't a negative..like my wife's D5500, it just sits there unused for the most part.
Thanks, friend! And I agree, it's not a negative per se, but something I wanted to mention in case there were others in the same boat as me that do enjoy the flip option while in portrait mode.
There's def a use case for it. Please let me know what your thoughts are on it if you end up getting one! :)
-Tuan
If its unused, isnt it useless?
I give you an A+ on your essay. I agree with you they are all wonderful cameras. I am thoroughly enjoying my silver xt2. Even though the xt4 is compelling, I like the idea of having cash that I can use to buy more lenses and accessories. Thanks for sharing!
Hey! Thanks sooooo much. Very kind of you! For a first video, I’m so glad it’s being well received. :)
If you find a used xt3 and want to upgrade, it’ll be nice, but I agree with you about spending the money on lenses instead. Any you are thinking of considering?
I think if we can both wait until next year, I’m excited to see what the xh2 will be like.
I’m trying to work on my craft more than fixating on the newest gear.
Again, thanks for the kind words buddy!
T.
@@AtomicPixel You are more than welcome. Yes I'm also curious about the XH2. Coincidentally when I purchased the silver XT2 last August new for $999 the XH1 went on sale 2 weeks later for the same price with the battery grip. So I went to my local camera store to check it out. Loved the grip, balance, and shutter. Missed the exposure comp dial. I'm a sucker for the silver graphite and it's retro looks. So I kept it. I only shoot stills. But that XH2 might make a nice companion LOL! Have a great weekend!
Muata O As long as you’re happy with it and you have a camera that fun for you, then boom! It’s all you need!
Have a great weekend to you, too! 🍻
Refreshing take on it. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot man! Really means a lot as we’re starting out. :)
The vertical tilt screen is my absolute fav on the xt3. I wish Sony had that. I could never ever do a fully articulating screen, but that’s my style of shooting and opinion!
Nicholas Nguyen ehhhh dai ca! My viet brotha.
That tilt is super handy for photography. It really surprised me!
Stay healthy buddy,
-Tuan
Loved the review! Just subbed 🙌🏽
Thanks so much, Micah! Means a lot! ✌🏼
Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for vids. We’re always brainstorming since we’re new at this thing.
Stay safe and healthy out there!
Atomic Pixel will do!! 😁😁
already on pre order, and yes I own the XH1 and XT3
Sweeeeeet! Let me know what you think when you get it.
I have a friend at Henry’s so I’m hoping I can borrow one when they get one in. Would be cool to test it out first hand :)
Thanks for the info 👊🏽
Scott Kukla glad it helped, brotha!
Great video thanks! Having sold all my DSLR kit 2 years ago, I've been waiting for something like the XT-4 to seal a direction for me. Bought a Canon RP but returned it not liking the sensor, but loving the vari-tilt screen for challenging landscape photos... this was the main reason I had planned to stay Canon (and inexpensive used glass). Just moved to Houston and was finally able to mess around with all the cameras at a Best Buy... loved the XT-3! The size, handling, even eye focus was outstanding as was the menu system. I rented an A7III a few months ago to test that out, and loved everything but the color science and the crazy menu system. The only concern I have with the Fuji system funny enough is the available glass for it, though I think I can find what I need and in some instances at half the cost of FF. Thanks again, great comparisons... might look for a solid used XT-3 when the XT-4 Drops. Would love to see a video on your favorite lenses.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Chad! And you read my mind. I’m planning a lens series next week. What kind of photography do you do and what lenses do you like from canon that you’re thinking you may be missing from Fuji? Stay tuned!
@@AtomicPixel Very cool! I've looked at the Fuji lens lineup, and I think it has more to do with that there is not much there 3rd party. I shoot mostly landscape, Americana, but have 6 kids, so you know which way most of my lenses (and time) are pointed :). Versatility, weight, and lens quality really are the top selling points for me. If there is a small zoom with a constant aperture that can replace 3 primes, I'll go with that. Love the 24-105 on both Sony & Canon Systems, would like even more versatility if image quality is not sacrificed. Also love the kit lens on the Z7... amazing pictures coming out of that. So in short, versatile zooms, and fast wide angels. Looking forward to your next upload!
Chad Cohoon 6 KIDS!!?? You stud, you.
I think in your case it would be worth investing in the 16-55 2.8. It’s my all arounder for wedding video and photo work.
But I’ll do a shout out to you in my next vid! :)
Dedicated my first lens series vid to ya, buddy! :) czcams.com/video/eiXSzB_iAP4/video.html
Love your vid. I have the XT-3, and XH-1. The point of the ergonomics between the two is spot on for me. The love the feel of the XH1 in my hands and the shutter button placement. With the shallower grip on the XT3 moving my hand back a little to get to the shutter button makes it feel less secure in my hands. Brought he XT3 about a year ago and wished it had everything in the XT4. I like the option of ibis and the battery life, plus the easier switching to movie mode is a great change. Bottom line for me is if I could get all that in the form of an XH1 I think tha would be for me, so I’ll wait hopefully the XH1 line is going to be updated. Thanks for the video I’ll buy more glass instead.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Have you tried a cheap grip for the xt3? It’s the one you see me taking off in the for few minutes. It gives some nice bulk for you to hold onto.
And speaking of glass, I’m working on a lens series as we speak. Hoping to post the first vid by tomorrow.
Is there any glass you’re considering and what type of shooting do you do? Might give me some talking points as I create the lens series.
Cheers!
Atomic Pixel I do landscapes mostly and now I’m dabbling in portraits. I have mostly zoom lens and a mitkon 58mm with a m42 adapter. So I was thinking of adding a prime lens or two.
Atomic Pixel ps your content was clean to the point and informative in now subscribed with bell notifications on keep up the good work. In new to photography at least with a “real” camera I used point and shoots a long time before I wanted to go deeper. Point is I’m absorbing all the knowledge I can get and some is better than others your doing quality work so I appreciate the honest review. Thanks again!
Jeff Guarino Sounds great! I’ll be covering all the primes and my thoughts on the f2 versions vs the 1.4. I’ll tell you now that I do prefer the 1.4 versions. They render images differently. Less contrasty. Just more pleasing to me. But if you’re out chasing wolves then the weather sealing is nice on the f2s.
Stay tuned!
Jeff Guarino thanks for the kind words, my friend! I’ll sub to you too!
And I was thinking of doing an extensive break down on how I do interior shoots. I think much of what I learned shooting interiors can translate well into the landscape world.
Here’s some interior shots on our site so you can see what I mean. Shooting inside can be quite tricky, so if you can get a good grasp on merging photos and taming the dynamic range then you could apply it to landscape photography.

As a photography enthusiast rather than pro, I had decided to finally upgrade my far outdated Canon DSLR. A friend recommended I look at the Fuji XT series. I saw the feature list for the X-T4 and thought that may be an option. After looking at what's on the market in the price range, I finally decided to go full frame with the Sony A7R iii. I wanted the additional resolution for various projects.
John Zerbe No right or wrong when it comes to cameras in my opinion. You gotta go with your gut and what speaks to you!
Camera gets pricey and the last thing you want is buyer’s remorse. The Sony is a beast in its own right, so enjoy, my friend! :)
I like your review. All are based on real world use. Very useful.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. :). Cheers, Ryan!
Hey pal, fellow Canadian here. Very surprised you don't have loads more subs lol.
Anyway, thanks for making consistent and good quality videos. As a CZcamsr myself I appreciate howow much work goes into it.
I'm about to move from Sony to Fuji, with the xt4, so these videos are spot on for me.

Vaans World awesome! Sounds like a cool gig ya got!
@@AtomicPixel Ya its a dream gig
It isn't a deal breaker to me, however I wish the X-T line kept the non-flip out screen setup, and the X-H line had the flip out screen. Obviously a screen that is some how and X-T3 screen and a flip out screen in one is the solution that gets approval from both camps.
Fanjan I agree. Something like the Panasonic s1h or a screen that simply flips up 180 would do it for me.
WHO FACKING CARES FLIPS OR NOT.
Agreed. I don't shoot video -mostly concert, and street, so there really isn't much that the X-T4 brings to the table for me. With the latest firmware upgrade the X-T3 autofocus was improved from really good, to great, and I've heard that there could be yet another firmware upgrade for it in the fall. I'm sure the 4 is going to be a great camera as well, but with IBIS, and the rotating screen, it seems to be marketed squarely at the video people.
Joe Toole Yep, I with ya on all those points. As another commenter pointed out, hopefully the XH2 goes even more video centric and the xt3 could stay more photo.
There’s no perfect cam, but for just photography, the xt3 style screen is perfect.
I would love it if the next xh1 just had a 180 degree screen with the portrait tilt option. I hope you read this fuji! lol
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Joe! 👍🏼
Xh1 is a great n over looked camera the cont med shutter sound is great!
1plainoldme Agreed! An oldie but a goodie!
Waiting for my xt4. Hopefully be out in April.
Let me know your thoughts once you have it! It’ll be sweet.
What are you shooting with now?
trueee i do FEEL if i need stabilization then at that point i should just invest in a gimbal for those shots - still have and using the kit 18-55 that have the OIS which is enough if hand held is needed.
and with the cheaper models or bodies, theres room in the budget to invest in other equipment as well.
Exactly! Now, if you’re new to fuji and want the best, then the xt4 is excellent. Just wanted to show the other options if people want to save money or invest the extra cash in a nicer lens or equipment. :)
Picked up a used X-T2 in late march and don't regret it
Sweet dude! It’s a fantastic camera. I started a lens series if you’re wondering what to add to your kit. And feel free to ask any questions. I answer all the comments so I’ll help out if I can.
Stay safe!

@@AtomicPixel Thanks, I'll take a look right now! I've been using vintage prime lenses but I'm eyeing up the 18-55, just because it's so versatile and has IS.
Johnny Applepie agreed. That’s the biggest features it has going for it. Really nice for general shooting and times you want the stabilization for video.
Woaaah! dope! new subs here. I have xt30 for basic filming, planning to buy xt4 for my main camera.. but need a little time think about it
KHALeidoscope thx buddy! The xt30 is also a great cam. If you don’t need the xt4 for something specific or if your xt30 is enough for the work you do, then save your cash or invest in other gear. Lights, lenses, stands, audio etc make a big difference in production so think of what else you may need.
Atomic Pixel yes yessss! ur definetely right.. thanks bro.. xt30 is powerful enough, and great entry level cam for filming
Thanks for the review！XT-1 jump to XH-1 and still loves Fuji！
I love my xh1. My latest video of the home tour was shot all handheld with the xh1 and 16-55 2.8 lens. :)
@@AtomicPixel which has better IBIS xh1 or xt4 using 16-55 2.8 lens?
I haven’t had a chance to use the xt4 personally just yet, but from what I’m seeing, the ibis has improved so I would say the xt4 is better.
That being said, if you pair the 18-55 which has stabilization with the xh1 ibis, it is very good. No jerkiness.
@@AtomicPixel Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it!
Anytime, bro! Feel free to ask away if you think of anything else! Working on getting more of the lens series out!
I own 2 xt3s with the grip and an xt4 I use the xt3 more than the xt4 I agree with most of your points you don't need to switch it mainly down to the tilt screen because when it comes down to it I prefer the tilt screen for real-estate portraiture and gimbal work but I do have to say as a person starting my own photo business so far I have been never let down by my fuji equipment
On a side note I see fujifilm releasing the xt4 as a compliment to the xt3 because most pros have 2 cameras and the xt3 and xt4 work great together just like the a73 and the a7s3
Thanks for your insights! Now that the xt4 has been out for a while, I think the main benefit that I personally would use would be the dual sd recording. This would be nice for weddings to have backups.
But, I’m still going to hold out and keep my fingers crossed for the xh2 and see what happens.
Part of me is very interested in the old canon c100 mark ii. Guess we’ll see what happens!
Great video! What do you think about the Sony a6600(1200usd) over the XH1(1000usd with battery grip)?
I think they are similar in performance( IBIS, fps, and video capability). The a6600y has better autofocus and battery life. The XH1 has better color and body design.
Kevin Liu I guess I am biased as I do love the Fuji system. Sony’s are great, but in a clinical type of way. Fuji’s make me want to shoot and use the camera.
I would also say the XH1 would feel better in the hand and Fuji simulations are great.
You are right about better autofocus on the a6600. But I’m sure the xh1 would be just fine.
If you can get your hands on both, you’ll know which speaks to you when you hold them. :)
Great video...
Does XT4 still has exposure shift (ramping) issue while zooming with XF lenses on all manual mode as XT3?
Unal Ozmen hmmm good question! I don’t have an xt4 to test out just her so I can’t say, but I would think it would be more of a lens issue rather than body issue.
I have a video comparing the 18-55 vs 16-55 and in that video I mention lens flickering when zooming with the 16-55. Is that what you’re referring to?
If so, I would say it’s the way the lens mechanisms work over body.
Hope that’s what you mean!

Thanks for this video. I've been trying to see if I can make the switch back to Fuji. While there are so many improvements from the XH1's video specs, the AF still needs more work. Fuji left me hanging with the XH1 with no further updates. I wish they gave us a huge update for the XH1 like they did with the XT2. - For now, I'll stick with my A7iii or who knows maybe I'll switch LOL.
Russell Rabanal totally understandable. For photography, I’ve never had any issues with autofocus from any of the 3 bodies, but for sure, there is room for improvement when it comes to video.
The xt4 seems to have better autofocus and ibis in video, but after my latest wedding day shoot, I don’t think I could rely on autofocus all the time regardless of manufacturer. I think it best to manual focus and lock things off when you can and if likely only use autofocus when on a gimbal.
So far fuji has been great for me and it’s also about the feel and ergonomics of it all. Sony is likely a better camera objectively, but it’s too clinical for me. No feels. Haha
But you gotta choose the tools you need or are comfortable with!
@@AtomicPixel Man I started with XT1 5 years ago and using that made me fell in love with photography. Then I made the upgrade to the XT2 and when I started doing video work, I went with the XH1. I could've stayed with XT2 but I decided to upgrade.
I do fashion work and my early videos were filmed on the XT2 with a gimbal. Then the XH1 came along and when it came to editing, I wasn't happy with a lot footage. I think people call it the, "Fuji jitters." Basically the footage I wanted to use could not be fixed on post.
There's just something special when using Fuji cameras LOL and that's why I miss it a lot! 😅
i'll also be your 1000th subscriber
Russell Rabanal
That’s quite the journey bro! We need you back! Haha
that jitter is likely the ibis I was referring to. It jumps when panning which they’ve corrected most of with the xt4. And for sure, it’s ruined some clips for me but luckily I can salvage the moments in between.
So now I’ll just film without ibis. For stationary shots it’s great. Just not when panning.
And thanks for being the 1k sub! Such a HUGE milestone for us. Connect with me on Instagram and I’ll mail you a fuji shutter button so you have a little nudge to come back to fuji ;)
Thanks buddy!
-Tuan
Thank you for your help, I wanted the X-h1, it's at a wonderful price now but I was thinking the image quality was not on par with the xpro3. However, I only really use stills
TheCoomer glad you found it helpful! :)
I don’t think the average person would be able to tell the difference of a photo from the xt2 all the way to xpro3/xt4.
All the camera are fantastic and by the time you edit, it all comes out the same.
So, go with whatever inspires you to shoot and use more. The more fun it is for you then the more you’ll use it!
Cheers friend!
-Tuan
@@AtomicPixel Thank you, I have decided on the Xh1 as in the UK you can get it for £619 presently or 699 refurbished with the Grip. I was too busy being a technical photographer rather than an actual one and you made me realise that the jump from contrast only focus and noise at 3200 iso. To something that can actually focus is perfect. Plus like you say, all my photos would go on Instagram or CZcams. Even wedding photos as a hobby, it all goes on Facebook. With the presets and Wifi in the camera transferring them should be alot easier too (I need a computer that can handle video editing so having it sorted in camera is fantastic).
Thank you for your help, and thank you for all your great videos
TheCoomer That’s awesome! And then with the extra cash you can decide on some nice lenses! :)
And that’s just it - unless you plan on printing huge physical images, you don’t need to worry about the megapixels and all the little stuff. Just enjoy creating.
@@AtomicPixel I never thought of that! The extra cash could go towards the next purchase, perhaps the 90mm or 16-55mm.
Fantastic!
TheCoomer whoo hoo! *happy dance*
Thanks for this man, great video and as a XH1 user and a XT2/1 user before I’m gonna stick with it and wait for the XH2/Xt5 as it’s so capable for portraits, still life, b roll and events ✌️
Luke&Line ya bro! I’m glad I could help at least one other person overcome gear acquisition syndrome. Lol
The xh1 is solid. Have you tried it with the 18-55. It’s really smooth when you paid the ibis with the lens stabilization. You don’t get the bad kick/jump that I mentioned in the vid (I just tested this week).
I’m working on a designer client video of a walk through of a million dollar model home she designed. Used the xh1 for it and I think it’ll look great. Stay tuned!
@@AtomicPixel Hey man! no I haven't you know... I have the 16-55mm f2.8 and a 35mm f1.4 lens that I've had since I started with a XE2 6years ago. Cant wait for more content Fuji or not related, really7 enjoyed your video and style of narration and examples. cheers, I need to use my XH1 for more fun stuff too
@@LukeLine Thanks for the kind words, my friend! If you ever come up with any questions or video ideas, shoot em this way.
And I love my 16-55 and 35mm 1.4. Funny you have those as those are my 2 favourite lenses. That combo is super versatile. The only other one I would sneak in is the 23mm 1.4. It's nice to have the wider for indoor or casual shots.
If you do make some fun vids, post and let me know! We're new to this whole CZcams game, so let's all try it out. :)
@@AtomicPixel no problemo!!! Will do for sure, yeh they are the best... I do miss my little 18mm f2 that I had with the XT1... might have to treat myself to it used on ebay... you should deffo try out some old canon fd lenses on the fuji range... fun for video and go nice with fuji Eterna or classic chrome :) I went to China last year and have a bunch of music vids and other travel bits to edit, once I've sorted out moving place and free from work. Will do, cheers!
@@LukeLine Nice man! True, I do need to try more vintage glass. I did buy a Helios, but have yet to try it. Maybe I'm scared it has radiation. lol Cheers bud!
I still shoot cinematics with my XT3 in my channel. Still a beast! Thanks for the video!
Checked out your channel and subbed! 👍🏼
Great work, my man! And you’re right, the xt3 is plenty capable. Really light setup with that m2. Do you think it could handle other lenses or is it at its max capacity?
@@AtomicPixel Thank you!! Yes, the lightest setup I could do for the XT3 along with the lightest zoom lens. It's just below the M2's max capacity but it's just right. I wouldn't go anymore bigger than that. There are other pancake lenses that would definitely work as well.
RonMiki true true. As long as it works for ya!
I have an older moza aircross. She works alright
I think you'll end up buying the 4 anyway :-)
Just Me Hahahaha shhhhhhhh. Don’t jinx me!
Really nicely done review and guidance. My situation is a little different, but would like your thoughts. Maybe I was an early believer in Fuji - I have an XT-1 and I have been very happy with its size (vs my Dikon D7200), its glass and image quality plus the quiet and good enough video. So I'm now looking to upgrade this year. I like the useful flippy screen and battery life of the XT-4, but I'm seeing an extra $250 off and battery grip for the XT-3 that makes it attractive from a financial point on view. I'm sure either will be a significant improvement over my XT-1, but uncertain which path to take.
Hey man! Thanks for the kind words (means a lot!) and great question. I can relate -- my baby before the Fuji world was a Nikon D7000.
First off, you gotta go with your gut. Are you the type of person that will lament later if you didn't spend the extra to get the newest for peace of mind or fear of missing out. If not then let's seriously compare the XT3 vs XT4 based on what the work you and what you hope the camera can do for you.
Objectively, these are the things I would ask myself if I were in your shoes:
+ Do I need a fully articulating screen? Will you be self recording for videos, vacations, family moments.
+ Or will I be more behind the camera taking photos?
+ Do I need IBIS? Yes, if you plan to do more video work, not a biggie if you do more photo)
I call out the screen as the biggest factor here because I think it changes the way you use the camera the most (we know the XT4 has better specs, but I don't think you'll feel like you missed on image/video quality if you chose an XT3). It goes back to what I mentioned in the video where if you have a purpose for a flip screen, it is truly useful, but if you’re more concerned with being behind the camera, the standard flip screen the XT3 is a better user experience.
Think of shooting a photo down low or in portrait mode. With a flip screen it takes up more real estate and time having to flip it out and adjust to the angle you need while looking further left whereas the XT3 is a quick flip up for low shows and the portrait mode 45 degree tilt works a charm with a battery grip.
I know this may seem like nit-picking, but wanted to mention for what it’s worth. Perhaps try going to your local camera shop and testing a Fuji they have in store vs a canon or panasonic with an articulating screen. You’ll get a feel for what I’m saying.
IBIS. This one is a biggie for me. This is why I end up using my XH1 for my handheld video work over my XT3. Everyone will have different opinions about this topic, but for me, it helps cut down my editing time if I don't have to stabilize every shot in post-produciton.
It's just really handy to have, so if you intend to do a lot of video, then XT4 seems like the choice.
Now, all that aside, if you’re wiling to hit the used market, then the XT3 can be had a steal which makes it more compelling budget wise over the XT4. I’m seeing them drop right now to the $1400 CAD range! But, if you’re buying new XT3 vs XT4 then I say swipe the credit card and get yourself an XT4 since the delta between the two won’t be enough to mentally justify the savings.
For instance, I will regret not spending an extra $300 for a newer camera body, but I can quiet the Gear Acquisition Demon if I saved $1000, you know?
Finally, I’ll put it this way - You’re coming from an XT1, so both will be exciting for you. You’ll notice HUGE increase in autofocus speeds, screen clarity, and just overall a zippier, more precise feeling camera. It’ll be like going from a trusty a Honda Civic to BMW M3. The performance you need with everyday usability.
Phew, that was a long one. I just get excited about camera gear. haha
Let me know what you end up with and would love to hear your thoughts/see a vid with your new baby Fuji. :)
Cheers bud,
Tuan
@@AtomicPixel Thanks so much for the time you took to provide some great answers and comments Tuan. I do some self-shooting video and I think would really benefit from the flippy screen so that's probably the biggest factor putting the XT-4 top of my list. One quick follow up on the new screen. I'm assuming the LCD screen can be used to compose a shot while it's folded into the body (screen out)? Many reviewers have criticized the inability to be centered when composing via the LCD, but maybe they just mean for low or high level LCD shooting when the XT-3 (or XT-1) tilt screen is helpful.
pjmixer yep, you can fold it back into the body like you mention, but to be honest, most of the time when I use the rear lcd it’s tilted up to some degree.
If your budget allows, go for the XT4!
Happy to help! :)
Love my XH1 no need for upgrade here .
Eddie Mejia heck ya! Working on a home walk through (for an interior designer) episode that I shot handheld with the xh1 and 16-55.
Took me about 15-20 hours to edit. Lol Should have it done this weekend. I think it turned out great. Stay tuned!
Thanks for watching, Eddie!
Love the review! Do you know if the XT-3 is somewhat weather sealed?
It has very good weather sealing. Even the xt2 is weather sealed.
Are you thinking for general outdoor shooting in case it rains?
And thanks, Hank! :)
Tuan
Atomic Pixel oh ok that’s cool! And yeah I’m really into wildlife cinematography so I’m outdoors a lot and having a camera that I can shoot with in the rain would be amazing! I’ve been doing a whole lot of research going back and forth between sony and fujifilm, and I’ve found that the xt3 is fairly cheaper and I could probably grab a used one for cheaper. it matches up pretty good with the a7ii and a7s
Hank Babiar oh nice! I would say try to see if you can check out each in person. The biggest factor here will be if you like the handling of the xt3 vs the Sony. Xt3 body is more rangefinder like because of the smaller grip and shutter button placement(you can always buy a thicker grip) whereas the song is DSLR style.
So it comes down to preference. Speaking of which, Fuji colour science is different so think of which is more pleasing to you. And if ibis is important because I believe the Sony’s has ibis in the older gens, right?
Hopefully, these were useful points to consider! :)
man what are you doing to those beautiful cameras, you are turning them into futuristic spaceships whit all that stuff! and mixing the silver with black???
breaks my heart! great video x
Hahahaha you gotta spice things up! I have another camera I was thinking of even sanding it down a bit to give a weathered look. Like an old Leica. But don’t watch that - you’ll have a stroke! :)
On the flip side, there are some of us that like mixing silver with black. I bought a black X-T2 not long ago and put a silver lens on it. Love the combination
ItsJim As long as you’re having fun, it’s all good! I’ve been thinking about even sanding down one of the cameras to give it a worn look lol
@@AtomicPixel nooooooooo 😩
Great video! Where are you seeing the X-T2 listed in Canada?
Segzeeman kijiji is usually where I search. Hopefully you find some in your area!
Informative. Didn't think about those other options. Thanks much for the time stamps in the pinned comment as well. Keep it up
Patrick Pham Thanks did the kind words, my Viet bro!
Stay safe out there!
Like your video. I am intending to buy the Fuji XT3 and eventually the Fuji XT4 later down the line maybe in like a year and a half.
Out off curiosity do you still own the Nikon D5600. I own the Nikon D5500.
And do you own a Panasonic GH5
ruffdraft that’s what I did. I just bought a use X-T3 and will buy the X-T4 over the 3-4 months. With both having the same sensor, havibg ibis or an articulating screen wasn’t a deal breaker.
Hey! I say snag a nice used xt3. The used market is looking great for one.
I sold the d5600 shortly after I picked up the xt3. And no, I’ve never owned a Panasonic. I’m all fuji now. :)
My history went: Nikon d3100, Nikon d7000, Sony nex 5-t, Nikon d5600, Fuji x70, fuji xt20, fuji xt3, fuji xt2, fuji xh1.
I can’t wait to see what they do for the XH2.
Do you have a Fuji now or what system?
Thank you for the great video! Subscribed! I recently ordered a used XH-1 to give me an alternative to my XPro-3. Are 9,000 shutter actuations a lot? BTW I'm primarily a stills photographer.
Unfortunately the deals from X-Mas are long gone. I should have jumped on the XH-1 then! Now, I'll probably have to pop for a battery grip for the XH-1, and of course additional batteries.
Nice buddy! I’m sure you’ll love it. 9000 is fine. Plenty of life! From what I understand most cameras these days are good for at least 100k, but don’t quote me.
I’d wait to see what you think of the xh1 as is before spending extra on a grip. I like the grip, but it may be too heavy or big if you want to carry it around. Considering you’re coming from an xpro3. Which I’m envious! The pro3 looks sooooooo nice! :)
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your time and advice.
Bill anytime, my man! Let me know what you think of the xh1 once you’ve had some time to use it. :)
@@AtomicPixel I thought about waiting for the battery grip. I ended up buying that new and can return. It is actually backordered. So I will most likely have the camera in hand first. If not I will return the grip if it just is too large. Good advice!!! It has been a long time since I had a hefty camera in hand from my Canon/Nikon days.
Bill who knows. You might like it! I use it with the grip for wedding days and paid shoots, but it could be a little much for travel shooting. But some like the heft. You’ll see soon enough!
XT2 has been killing it for photojournalism/ sports for last two years. will probably have wait until XT5 comes out before i can afford an XT4, but even then 100% of what i do is stills
I hear ya! If the xt2 works for what you do then save your money bro! Just enjoy :)
I’m ready to pull the trigger on the X-T4…would be my first Fuji and will be used for my channel and photography
I’m sure you’ll love it! At this point, I’m trying my best to wait to see what they do with the xh2. Lol
@@AtomicPixel I hear ya. I hope they release it soon so it could possibly drop the price on the xt4 🤞🏼 lol
@@TheMichiganShow true! So I would wait a bit if you’re in no rush.
@@AtomicPixel well they have till the stores get the xt4 back in stock. Who knows how long that’ll be. I won’t place a backorder
I am Nikon dslr commercial shooter, wanted to try mirrorless so two days ago I got myself used XT2 mint condition for about 500$, I was shocked how compact and complicated it is. So far I hate two things about it, the power on/off switch, easy to hit by mistake and the menu system confusing a bit. But XT2 has quick start up comparing to dslr and no lagging as some people say. Now I am looking to buy lenses, still searching for good all-around lens. I tried the 18-55, camera balance not good at all with zoom lenses I think, so I might go for primes F2's, fuji lenses has good build quality but a bit pricey. Thanks for the video
You can also make the command dials be shutter speed and iso. Makes it really quick for shooting. I do that instead of using the dials.
You can see how in my Fuji settings video.
Let me know if you have questions, but I’m sure you’ll love it once you’re used to it. :)
The weather resistance and IBIS alone should make that XT4 worth it, at least for me it is. :/ but to each their own.
That’s fair. But I could argue that I have that with my xh1.
Just saying if you can manage to find a good used xh1 it would save a lot of $$.
But if you have the money to spend, the xt4 is dope!
Stay healthy friend!
-Tuan
@@AtomicPixel Yeah, thats a good point. For anyone who doesn't mind buying used and wants features that line up with the new XT4 then a second hand XH1 is a good buy.
I''m unfortunately one of those people who prefers to buy new, at least for electronics. i just never really trust the used market, people will say anything and you never truly know how it was treated.
EuropeanLegend yep, and that’s totally fair. I think if we all had the means then new would be preferred! :)
@@europeanlegend9347 There is used camera retailers that sell checked equipment if your hesistation is private sellers. Sites like KEH.com or MPB.com check all the used equipment they sell, and even offer warranty and return policies. Basically like buying new in terms of service. I've exclusively bought from them and my X-T2 is truly like new, as they listed it. And then I mean,it comes in a box, without a single spec of dust or sign of used. Mine had 6000 clicks haha.
Do what you want, but I figured I'd share considering not everybody knows this and people think used = shady guy on Craigslist.
this video was great! i wish you took the cage off the xh1 tho
Adam Kocka-Patchik thx bro! And ya, I thought about it, but I had that hand strap in their snug so I didn’t want to mess it up. Lol
Thanks great video , Yeah think I will wait also Cheers !
Thx Graham! It’s an old vid now so keep your eyes peeled for a used xt4 haha

I used an XH1 for a few motorsport events, and have had my hands on an XT4 preproduction model at a Fujifilm event recently; the autofocus alone is worth the upgrade for me. The tracking is light years ahead of the XH1, at least from my quick test. I’m waiting for the local X-Photographer to get a production model so I can drag him to a race meeting.
Nigel Swan Nice! I believe you bro. If you’re doing fast subjects like that then it def makes sense.
Let me know what you think once your get your hands on a production version. I’m hoping I can get one to play around with, too. Fingers crossed!
Autofocus in respect to video or photo?
I would say improvements on both sides.
My xt3 is quicker than the xh1, but I don’t do sports or fast moving objects so I wouldn’t be a good source for how they perform in that specific scenario.
-Tuan
Extremekid Productions I was meaning photo.
I just love the ergonomics of the x-h1. I'm a woman, but i have big hands, its sooo pleasing to shoot with it. But the battery life really is bad, and do think it's a heavy camera (because of the ibis, maybe?)
Looking foward to a x-h2, hopefully with better auto-focus and battery life.
Yasmin Silveira I hear ya, I think the weight is due to the styling and ibis. I hope they make an xh2 and I’m sure autofocus and battery life will increase as it has for the xt4.
Until then, I’m learning to manual focus more for video when possible and I use a battery grip with tons of extra batteries.
I didn't want to be the one to bring this to your attention - but the only Fuji Leaf Shutter is on the X100 series offering unrestricted Sync speeds - fantastic when Flash is used in strong daylight.. Cheerz mate, Fuji fan fum AU.
Ahhhh I the xh1 has a leaf spring switch, so I guess you’re right. Different from the shutter itself, but either way, you know what I mean!
I saw it here:
www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_h1/features/page_02.html
Thanks for the review brother! I’m in a dilemma right now - I sold the x-h1 and a few glass, but after watching a few reviews I’m not sure if I want to upgrade just yet. I primarily shoot wedding photos, but occasional video work. What do you think is the best option for me right now? Xt3 or xt4?
also just subscribed, love your work!
I subbed to you too! Loved that latest vid man. What was that filmed with?
And what camera do you have now if you’re considering xt4/xt3?
If budget isn’t a concern, the xt4 would give you more use for video work too. And you should do more video! If you offered wedding video with your shoots you could up your pricing. That’s what I’m trying. Only got into it no wedding stuff last year. Not our main thing, but decent money.
Also, I just started a creatives group on fb. You should join and share that cottage vid!
m.facebook.com/groups/atomiccreatives#_=_
Atomic Pixel so an update - I ended up getting the 100v and the xt3! Oh man the 100v has been a beast lol. I actually am part of a wedding company too and we use canons for the video stuff, but I’m main photographer that shoots fuji. Thanks for the input!
Markymethod oooooo nice picks! I’ve always loved the x100 series. Great walk around camera.
What’s your IG? I’ll give you a follow
I know this is an old video, but I found a brand new xt-3 in box with the kit 18-55 with three batteries, the fringer ii ef adapter and less than 50 shots on mechanical shutter for 900 bucks. Finally sold my x-t1's
That’s a solid find! I’m sure you’ll love it!
Hey man great video..here in india xt30 and xh1 are near the same price range...suggest me which one to pic...am least concerned about video..i need camera only for photography..so suggest me one camera between xt30 and xh1?
Hey buddy! Between those two, I would say if you want small and light for travel, choose the xt30.
If you want a nice grip and dslr feel, go with the xh1. The overall ergonomics are better and I love the shutter button.
Hope that helps!
For the same price for used items, which one you'd pick?
Xh1+grip+2 batteries
Xt3
I have xt3 as main cam, use it as video and photos
filos photoworks Hey! You mean as a second camera in addition to your xt3? I would def get an xh1 if you can find one.
The xt3 and xh1 combo are my work houses for paid gigs.
Xh1 is nice to have the ibis when you want shots to be a little steadier and you might even fall in love with the shutter button for photos. It just feels so nice :)
With the latest firmware update on the XT3, if you don't need IBIS and the bigger battery. It is heck of a deal if you can get the rebate price @ $1349 CAD. I am interesting to see what features will they add to the XT4 in the next firmware update, maybe pixel shift like the GFX? I personally don't care for that but I want further improvement on autofocus tracking and animal eye af.
Agreed! Do you think the xh2 will ever come? I would love to see a super video centric camera that’s still on the affordable side
I consider switching to the X-T4 from X-T3 because of the IBIS. My point is, i dont want to carry a gimbal with me anymore. Especially when hiking. The Ibis performance should be good enough to get simple filming stuff stabilized without extra weight.
takkyutube I agree. That’s how I feel about my xh1. Do let me know what you think of it if you end up getting one!
Cheers,
Tuan
you need to edit the title to
"Thinking of UPGRADING to TX4...."
as a non Fuji User TX4 is finally a camera I can buy.
All before did not have in body IBIS
Hey! The xh1 has ibis. It’s a beaut.
No right or wrong when it comes to buying a camera. All comes down to what you like, need and budget.
If you get an xt4, let me know what you think of it!
Good summary
rns2222 thank you! 👍🏼
Question: If I could choose between a used X-H1 in very good shape for around 790 $ or a brand new X-T3 for around 1.030 $ (without taxes), what should I choose? Of course I'm primarily thinking of video skills and IBIS. On the other hand, I would work a lot with a tripod, and I was using Panasonic's G7 (no IBIS) before and always had good footage filming from hand with OIS lenses. So to break the question down: Should I worry that the X-T3 with OIS lenses (e.g. the 18-55 or the 50-230) is worse than the G7 + 14-42 kit lens? Thanks for every answer!
Bernhard Madlener hmmmm.. great question! So maybe in your case if ibis isn’t as important, my next question would be what style of camera/ergonomics do you prefer?
The xh1 is bigger, more DSLR style which makes it nicer for longer shoot days because of the grip.
If you want the best quality and pixel peep, then you want the xt3 since it technically does have a better sensor and the quality is nicer even in HD. But, I think you’d be hard pressed to notice the difference if not seen side by side.
Here’s a vid it shot of my wife for a client product shoot (aija is wearing the black dress outside). All were handheld with the xt3 and 16-55. The orbiting shot around the car was with a gimbal, but handheld other than that. Actually, all the videos for “ooobaby” were xt3 handheld.
And yes, I realize some are quite shaken but I wasn’t being super careful with those (girl in black top). I wanted to add some energy to the clips.

@@AtomicPixel thanks a lot for your answer. I really would like to have the IBIS but I'd probably won't need it very often. You've got a lot of good shots with X-T3 + OIS, so maybe that's my way, too. Being a little bit more future proof than with the X-H1 for a little more money...
Bernhard Madlener buuuuuuut, Fuji doesn’t have many lenses with ois so chances are you’ll have to rig out the camera so it has a little weight.
Sometimes I shoot with the xh1 without ibis too since it can jump when panning.
I would say choose the body style you like because as much as I love the xt3, I love the ergonomics of the xh1 and the shutter.
I know I’m maybe not helping but trying to give you things to consider! :)
going to get a T-X3, which one you prefer black or silver? I can't decide myself, ill stick a red shutter button + leather case + red peak design strap.
Alaa Masaud lol. That’s a great problem to have!
I chose silver for the retro vibe. But if you want to be more stealth, go black.
Let me know which you go with!

im also a Fuji shooter i have gfx 50r and some lenses but im gona purchace the xt4 or the xt30/40, when i want to travel light or when i need a faster camera for tracing or action.Nothing beats gfx image output but it lacks every thing else
ted tedsen lucky guy! The gfx is sexyyyyy.
I used to have to the xt20 and that size is really nice for traveling. The only thing to consider with is it can feel a little small or cramped. But if you want small then it’ll the xt30 is perfect. The xt4 would double up as intermediate to pro work if you need it to.
Do you have any photos/vids of the gfx or works you’ve done? Would love to see!
Thanks for commenting, Ted!
I own the T2 for professional and hobby work.
Zone Television nice! We do too. They’re all great cams. :)
@@AtomicPixel is it fine for paid video works?
chris oh ya, getting paid for your work doesn’t depend on your camera. Depends on what you can do with it.
Much of my photo or video work comes down to how I edit or present my work to clients.
That being said, the advantage of the xt3 and newer cameras over the xt2 is the snappiness of autofocus and handling.
But we use the xt2 all the time for product shots, and as a second camera for weddings. :)
Have the XT2 since it came out, the XT1 too, like you bought the XH1 for peanuts and am happy with it. Do I need XT3 / XT4? Want yes but need... no. I'll rather spend that money on lenses and wait for prices of those cameras to drop.
Agreed! If someone got me one I’d never say no! Hahaha
Can’t wait to see what they do with the XH2!
Thanx👍 only problem for me is that Fuji does not offer wide angle fast glass for video. The 16 1.4 autofocus is too loud and the other one is only f2.8.
True, true. Although, I think the 16mm 2.8 would be good enough. When doing video I rarely shoot lower than 2.8. If you want even wider you could try the Rokinon 12mm f2. I have that lens and it’s nice, but is manual focus.
Or even the 14mm 2.8?
Atomic Pixel Thanx. Can you maybe demonstrate the low light performance at F2.8? on the xh1 vs xt3. Im thinking of switching to canon for that RF 15-35. Fuji just does nog offer anything like that at the moment.
@@goal7779 For sure! I'll add it to the production list. Stay tuned! :)
But, as I tell all my friends, go to a shop and hold both the cameras you're considering. Once you feel, touch and handle the camera a bit then you'll get a better sense of which camera speaks to you. No point in getting a camera if it doesn't feel fun or excites you to go create, you know? Specs aren't everything. All the cameras these days are awesome, so you won't miss out much on the quality of images/footage, but more so what feels good in the hand and is fun to shoot with. It's all personal preference.
Cheers!
Atomic Pixel Very true thanx
The button placement on the x-t-series (apart from it having a smaller grip) is because the camera is made, or at least more fitted for the old rolleiflex type of shooting where you hold the camera Lowe and look down on the screen. Hence why the entire control scheme looks the way it does.
Interesting you say that. Never thought of it that way but I do find when I hold it lower I use my thumb to hit the shutter button.
When visiting my sis in law, she showed me the rolleiflex her grandpa has. Looks so cool
@@AtomicPixel
Well, I've read, or seen something about it. Seems a bit logical considering fujis modernization of the old school type of photography. Their cameras are truly hybrids in many aspects.
Yeah my dad had one is his youth when he was on the seas. Allways telling my me how he regret selling it. Damn fine cameras!
Gundolf300 Awesome! Thx for sharing. :)
Not as vintage, but just as classic, is my our family VHS camcorder and film canon from the 80s/90s. I’ll likely do a little throwback video since I’ve kept them over the years. Haha
@@AtomicPixelThanks yourself! 😉
That's so cool! Kinda amazing how we have reached the point where the groundbreaking VHS has become retro 😂.
Reminds of the first camera I bought at a local TV-store when I was about ten. I went through litteraly a shit ton of boxes with outdated cameras, radios, video cameras and what not in the basement. Gave me a Yashica Electro 35 (wich I still have 25 years later) for about 50 Swedish crowns, approx 5 usd. 😉
Gundolf300 hahah very cool! Humans and tech have boomed in the last few decades so a very iterating time to be alive.
Like you said, to go from something like a Nintendo to VR; dial up Internet to smartphones; paper maps to google maps - it’s been wild!
Thank you for bringing up mechanical differences in shutter feel. I love ALL things mechanical. I am picky with my camera shutter buttons and love the feel of my XT-3 shutter button. I hate my Sony a6400 shutter button. Such a numb POS. I love my handguns and same principals apply when I pull the trigger every gun feels different mechanically. It’s very important for the shooting experience.
Haha true! I never thought of comparing it to shooting a fun, but I can see what you mean.
A tactile experience for getting that shot!
Have you tried the xh1? The shutter on that is sensitive, but if feels sooooo goooood. Satisfying in a way that can’t be described. You have to experience.
@@AtomicPixel The tactile experience is what makes Fujifilm such a fun and rich experience in my opinion along with color science of course.
I was going to buy an XH1 on discount as you did, but I will be waiting for the rumored XH2 w/ an all new 43 mega pixel sensor that’s supposed to be released in 2021.
@@mariusmocan8491 Makes sense! I'm excited to see what they do to the XH2. I don't need higher mega pixels because I don't want to deal with larger files sizes, but I would love an improved autofocus, better ibis and the xt100 screen on it so it can flip up and out.
Time will tell!!
i was going to get teh xt4 but then I realized the xh1 has all the features I need and had loads of batteries from my xpro2, so for around £1300 I got xh1/battery grip / 16-80mm and all of that brand new with 6 months warranty, for the price of the body of the xt4 so I think that a steal of a deal ngl
For sure bro! You’ll love the xh1! Do you do photo/video professionally or is for fun?
@@AtomicPixel trying to go pro, but were I live it not the best for photography or anything of that market XD
@@Temper-ttv awww. Hopefully you can make it work! Takes time to build a business, but I’m so glad I took the leap and now I’m doing some web design/commercial content and wedding photos/films
Keep trying brother! I also just started a podcast with a wedding filmmaker friends to share things we’ve learned in growing our business. Check it out if you’d like!
www.ambitiouscreativepodcast.com/
Few think closely about the massive advantage of the stills/movie mode switch for true hybrid shooters. For instance, stills photographers who need to also pick up a little b-roll here and their for their event work. The completely isolated menus and settings for each type of shooting to me is money in the bank. Time and fuss saved in the moment, seamless switching, and no worries about controls overlap that either ruins the stills shot or the movie mode. That alone is reason enough to switch, but then there’s IBIS etc. which extends the usefulness of the camera into lower light scenarios, working with longer lenses, on and on. It is easy to look at the spec sheet and say to yourself, “No big deal.” But an extra EV of low light performance here and there puts more shots in the camera, aka more opportunities to make the client happy. Such an easy decision over any previous Fujifilm camera. The only problem will be availability.
Hey BT, thanks for taking the time to comment!
I agree with you on the photo/video switch. I had mentioned it, but started cutting things out as the video was getting too long. I was thinking that it is really useful since I have shot a wedding doing both photo and video and did find it cumbersome to switch back and forth so often making sure I was in the right mode. However, I think an even better solution would be to have a separate record button so you can just jump right into video recording. I think the Sony A7 series does this?
As for IBIS, I mentioned I loved the improvements they've done to it for the XT4, but what I'm saying is if you could save almost $1500 and buy the XH1 so you'll still get IBIS. And as an update, I was trying the XH1 with the 18-55 and there was no jump in panning, so that's cool!
Atomic Pixel I have two X-H1 cameras, and yes for someone operating on a tight budget, these will provide a lot of the X-T4 functionality assuming you can find one. B&H in the US seems to have a few in stock, but Adorama doesn’t even have one in the used department at the moment. At the same time, just having to cope with that very outdated USB Micro-b connector is a bit of a deal breaker, especially if you do anything tethered. And you’re video modes are much more limited. I already have 2 preorders in place. Ready to move on. As for the separate shutter buttons, I tend to think of the Fujifilm approach as much cleaner. Flip a switch, all the menu context changes, settings fall right into place and the rest of your mechanics stay the same.
BT Hathaway yep, makes sense. Hey, so that means your 2 will hit the used market soon! ;)
But agreed, if you have the means, the XT4 will be sweet! Please let me know what you think after you’ve had some time to use it. :)
Also, do you think they’ll release an XH2 or nix that line?
Atomic Pixel I think Fujifilm has sent enough signals to confirm that an X-H2 will come, and now that they have gotten IBIS into the X-T line, they are positioned to let the next X-H incorporate a major sensor and processor leap. 6k? 8k? Who knows, but I expect they will design it to leapfrog the S1H. Fingers crossed that they will start to tease the design before the end of the year, but no preorders until 2021 for sure.
BT Hathaway I was thinking the same. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!
Which one to take primarily for video: Panasonic Lumix GH5S or Fuji XT4?
ooooo, that's a toughie! I wouldn't be qualified to tell you which since I've never used the Panny.
I think the best advice I could give you is to go to your local camera shop when the XT4 comes out and see if they have both in camera so you can check em out in person combined with some research on the specs they offer.
For the most part, new cameras are all comparable. It's down to how it feels in your hand and which you get excited to you more. For example, at the time I bought my XT3, the Sony A7 series were super hot by all the video creators, but I found holding it and the images I saw a little too clinical for me whereas I was excited about the retro style and feel of the Fuji combined with the colour science.
So, I say go with your gut. Worse thing is having buyer's remorse!
Hope that helps, my friend! Cheers!
Hey man. Great vid. The link to the XH1 cage doesn't seem to show up on amazon. Can you tell me the model?

I'll go for the x-t4. This is my first Fujifilm camera and so I need a lens for it. I decided to take the 16-80 4.0 wich is availible here in Germany as a kitlens, but only with the x-t4. If you want to buy it seperatly, you won't get it here for less than 800.- Euros. So at the end it makes a price difference between X-H1 and X-T3 (both availible for 1000 Euro) an the x-T4 of 500 Euros. For that amount of money you get IBIS, ultra fast autofocus, very good eye recognition, better menu (love switching from video to photo in the menu) larger batteries, and and...
Sennyah hey! If you have the means, for sure go for the xt4 if you want the best right now.
As for the lens, it depends what your needs are. If you need the reach at 80mm, go for it.
If you want versatile focal range with a wide aperture, go 16-55. If you want to save money. Get the 18-55.
You’ll likely end up getting some primes done the road so that’s why I mention the zoom lenses first. :)
Do keep me posted on what you get and your thoughts once you have it. I’m hoping to try out an xt4 too!
-Tuan
@@AtomicPixel Hey Tuan, thanks for your recomandations. I was realy thinking about the 16-55 but at the end these aspects made the point: Lower weight, price and size and actually the 80 mm makes the 16-80 to a real most-time-on lense. And if I'm not satisfied with the picture quality, I can easyly sell it on Ebay without loosing any money and switch to the 16-55 :)
Sennyah makes sense! You’re going to love it! :)
I had the Xt3 and sold it. I do mostly portrait and detail shots, and I need to crop a lot to deliver highlights of my shots. With the XT3 the RAW file had this worm looking grain when zooming in up close. Does anyone know if that was fix on the camera or is it something that has to do with Lightroom? I don't think I recall this issue with Jpgs though that by the way look great SOOC
Gaston Shutters Hey Gaston! I hear ya. It def is an issue, although it seems to be with Lightroom as you don’t see the problem is Capture One.
That being said, LR is part of my workflow so you would think Adobe or Fuji would fix it. I think issues like this is why some fans say to switch to the Bayer sensor bc the raw files are easier to work with.
My work around with the files in LR is to put the sharpening mask way up so it just captures the edges or I don’t sharpen at all. I don’t like my images to be overly sharpened and if I want a sharper look, I do it with a touch of texture or clarity increase.
So what do you shoot with these days?
That's just LR, there are tuns of vicei's fot that... With a raw converter plugin such as iridient, there's no issue at all. Even with the new firmware, i barely have to convert and i'm amacrophotographer, so cropping and details are my main issues. The XT-3 is a piece of magic, i even bought te XT-30 as back-up and sometimes i find that one even better :-)
@@thebikingphotographer3042 Thank you guys.
Would you suggest buying the XT-3 or saving up my money for a bit longer and pulling the trigger on a XT-4? I currently shoot on Iphone 6 lol so obviously either cam would be an amazing upgrade. I havent purchased a cam yet simply because I don’t really like the idea of buying an “entry level” camera just to have a camera. I’d rather keep practicing on my phone and save up so I can buy something worth my money. I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks in advance. Great video btw.
Hey Dave! Great question. I would consider a few things:
1. Moving from iPhone to a camera camera will be an upgrade in many ways and will be a new set of skills to learn in order to master the camera and way you shoot -- which is the fun part! And nothing wrong even if you don't choose Fuji as "entry level" is really subjective. I could get the same level of photos with a Nikon d3100 (my first dslr) today as I could with my Xt3. The difference being when you step up from "entry level" the ergonomics and features are better, but quality doesn't always change that much (this meaning many of us use photos for sharing with family or Instagram. If you printed large scale then yes, there is a difference).
2. If money is not an issue - likely just go for the XT4 as it is the best right now in the Fuji line and has features that I'm sure you'll enjoy for years to come.
If you have a set budget, then perhaps think of an XT3 and then have money for some nice lenses. Oh man, lenses is another realm in itself haha. But you know what I mean.
3. Both XT4 and XT3 will be super fun for you if it'll be your first camera camera. Biggest difference being do you think having a swivel screen is something you need in the way you shoot photos/capture moments.
For a little context, my camera journey went Nikon d3100, d7000, sony nex series, fuji x70, nikon d5500... sold it all and got fuji xt3, xh1 and xt2.
The way fuji looks, feels, shoots is just really fun for me. I've also been testing out fuji recipes which is colour tones and adjustment in camera so you get a look without having to edit after. I'll have to make a series on that. It's been great.
Anyways, hopefully this was helpful and please let me know what you end up going with. :)
Cheers,
Tuan
Atomic Pixel thanks for the quick reply. The more I think about it the more i’m leaning towards the xt-3. I think it may be wiser to then use that money to invest in a lens that would fit my needs. But yeah, i was between canon, sony and fuji but there’s just something about the fuji cams that are so nice. The look of the body and the colours that come out of it are so sick.
Thanks for the advice, i’ll let you know when I get it! Cheers.
Dave agreed! Fuji’s are just really fun to shoot with. For lenses, the 16-55 is my fav for wedding days and moments where I need range. The 35mm 1.4 is my fav for details and a great multi purpose for client work. And the 23mm 1.4 is a beauty for family things, walk around when you need a little wider.
Cheers!
Atomic Pixel thanks for the suggestions i’ll take a look at those. I’m going to be using it to shoot street photography and skateboarding mostly but hopefully I can start finding gigs and make some money with it too.
Nice bro! Excited to see what you create!
for me not upgrading from anything, i am mostly still shooter, should i go direct to x t4 or get the discounted x t3
Bhuboy Villanueva if you have the money then the xt4 is awesome. If you want to save some money then go xt3. Then you could put the extra cash towards another lens if you needed.
Can’t go wrong with either one, especially if it’s more so for photos.
Hey I’m trying to break into the fujifilm x series, two quick questions for you:
I am located in Toronto, where would you recommend looking for used fujifilm x series body/ gear besides Kijiji, Facebook marketplace, and eBay?
Do you think the release of the XT4 will lower the used market price for the XT2 (like what happened with the XT1)? Depending on that answer how quickly do you think the xt2 will drop in price?
Hey there! I’ve always gotten my used gear on kijiji or fb. I got a really good deal on our xt2 at the time from a guy in Toronto, actually. I’m seeing the xt3 drop to the 1300 range on kijiji. I would throw out some $1000 offers and see what people counter with. Getting an xt3 for about $1200 would be an amazing deal. I would highly recommend trying to grab an xt3 over an xt2 since the price range is getting similar. But, that being said, I bet if you keep your eye out you could find an xt2 in the 700-800 range. Best of luck!
Atomic Pixel thank you so much for your response! Ended up getting an excellent condition xt2 for $800 with just a 16-50 XC lens and accessories. Love it so far looking to get my first Fuji XF lens! Keep creating content like this!
sourkeyman Nice! Welcome to the Fuji fam! :)
I just uploaded the first video of my lens series which may be interesting to you as you start to think of which lenses to buy next.
And if you have any questions about the xt2 or Fuji, just ask! It could help me with content ideas. Enjoy!
Here’s the vid: czcams.com/video/eiXSzB_iAP4/video.html
Atomic Pixel hey loved the new video I have a few video ideas to feed my insatiable curiosity: Can you walk through how you shoot in lowlight and with flash? As well as how you set up your flash? Can you show us your workflow process of how your organize and post process after a photography gig? I tend to shoot more compositionally pleasing photos with a fixed prime lens, however I think this may be just a mental barrier that I can overcome. I currently have a 16-50 Xc lens. I’m thinking of investing in A) the 23mm f2, and eventually the 56mm f2 or B) investing in the 18-55 XF and eventually 56mm f2 what would you suggest. I’m planning on sticking to street photography and travel photography eventually moving into event and sports photography for occasional starter working gigs.
sourkeyman Boom! That’s what I’m talking about bro. Thanks for the excellent questions. I’ll def make a video to share my process.
Do you have IG? Would love to see your work too!
The xt4 is a xh1 + an xt3, if you own those 2 it replaces them and brings all the extra stuff which IS awesome.The shutter is dampened but not quite to xh1 level.I'll eventually be selling those 2 to get the XT4 and grip.Changeover price will be close.New battery is a winner,updated IBIS is a winner.Has to be close to the perfect crop camera!
I agree with ya! If you only need one body then sell them both to fund the xt4. I need multiple cameras for my work so that’s why I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need to upgrade. Plus, the world just to shit so I can’t make such purchases in this frozen economy. Stay safe and healthy, Peter!
Yea.. it wouldnt really make sense for you to upgrade since you have the xt-3 already unless you really wanted the flip screen and IBIS. I'll be upgrading from a Nikon D5500, which is still good, but the jump to mirrorless will be even better!
You got it! I was in the same boat as you, so I feel ya. Welcome to the Fuji fam :) Working on vids about lenses. Stay tuned!
Well the stock market tanked and I rethought my preorder of the X T-4. Ya know. I don't need it. My X T-2 has never let me down. I don't need a new trophy wife camera

Stan B. True true. You’ll love the xt2, I promise you that!
Hey guys 18-55mm to be inconspicuous & cary less weight VS 16-80 for weather resistance & more reach ???
Hey! Are you asking or saying? Lol
I just made a video on those two lenses. Is that what your referring to or is this sheer coincidence? If so, check out my latest vid to my thoughts on them. :)
Just ordered a second X-T3 body yesterday! Although the X-T4 has some benefits for my video production, the WW edition is very affordable (€1149) and I am able to use the same batteries and same battery grip - which makes it about €1000 more affordable than a new X-T4! The icing on the cake: I get a free Fuji handgrip and small extra’s with it as well.
Nice! Always sweet to score a good deal.
In full transparency, this is an old video and I did pick up an xt4 last Christmas when I found a good deal on Amazon.
The xt4 is my main body for wedding and commercial video work while my xt3 is my back up video but main body for photo work.
I’m sure prices on all the older cameras will get even better as the xh2s comes out.
@@AtomicPixel Fair enough! I think I’d rather wait for the X-T5. But who knows - when I have the money… :)
@@BTMovieSecondChannel haha true. I'd love to try out the xh2s, but when's it's the same price as the a7iv, it's a tough call!
@@AtomicPixel Yeah, it's very expensive! For me, also rather unnecessary. And I prefer the analog dials! (Though, I always liked the look of that little digital screen.)
@@BTMovieSecondChannel for sure. I prefer the look of the xt3/4, that’s the charm of Fuji. Something like the xh2s would just be for work, not personal use.
I just picked up an xe4 for documenting the family. I should make a vid on it haha
hi! please enlighten me on this. i've been considering the xt4 and xh1 as my photography gear but at the same time im also leaning to the nikon d780. i do wedding photo and video as my sideline to my job. i currently own a D90 and a D7000. the limiting factor i have with it is stabalization, ISO and other controls. could you share some thoughts for me. thanks!
Hey buddy! I came from the D7000 as well. My first love. haha
So, brand aside, I find moving to mirrorless was a big advantage for me as I moved away from DSLRs. A smaller form factor, better video and being able to see the adjustments your making on-screen was a big improvement.
Now, going to Fuji, I love the colours and the style/controls just make it fun for me.
Wedding is on the side for us, too. And in your case I think your biggest decision is:
1. Do you want to move to mirrorless or stay with DSLR?
2. If you go Fuji, then likely you'll have to get 2 bodies, since a wedding usually requires 2 cameras and best to have the same brand so the colour science is the same. Makes it easier for you in the editing room.
So let me ask you this, what makes you want to move to Fuji or mirrorless?
-Tuan

Have 2 X-T2's, thinking of selling one to get a second X-T3? What do you think?
Hey! If you have 2 then for sure! You’ll definitely love what the xt3 can offer. You’ll notice a better screen, quicker startup times and overall snappiness. Can’t go wrong especially if you find a good priced used one.
Let me know what you end up going for!
Switching from canon 70D to Fuji ???...What would you suggest fir a body and or lenses . . I primarily shoot jpegs and occasionally raw files . I mostly shoot real estate or landscapes close up stuff as well . Any advise would be great thanks
Hey Michael! The xt3 would be great for that. I use the xt3, 12mm rokinon, 16-55 and 35mm for my interior/real estate shots. You can see some samples in both episodes of my Fuji lens talk. Or on our site directly if you’d like to see more interior specific shots.
You don’t have to get the 16-55. I just love that lens. The 18-55 would be ok too.
I use the 12mm for tight spaces, 16-55 at 16 for most rooms (it looks good at 16 without any distortion) and then the 35mm 1.4 (f2 would be great as well) for the detail shots of textures, faucets etc..
Hope that helps and let me know if you have further questions. Shooting interiors and editing the photos is on my list of videos to make.
Keep me posted to what you end up choosing!
