Especially there are times when we do not have gimbals or tripods with us in less than ideal situations. This is also especially useful when I am using long lenses with the camera.<\/p>\n<p>The camera also comes with new improved batteries for longer battery life.<\/p>\n<p>The charger charges 2 batteries at the same time. A favourite amongst travel and wedding photographers for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Another obvious improvement over the other previous cameras, is the flip screen on the XT4. It helps us to take different angles without much problems and I can even take selfies with it now.<\/p>\n<p>The XT4 also boosts a 15fps speed burst compared to 11fps on the XT3. Perfect for wildlife and sports photography,<\/p>\n<p>Although the XT4 is slightly bigger in size, especially for the battery grip, it still feels comfortable holding for long periods of time. I have always loved the ergonomics of Fujifilm Cameras, and the XT4 does not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed other subtle changes on the camera, which I love. (I am assuming that these changes will also be applicable to the older cameras as well)<\/p>\n<p>The eyecup is different from the previous ones. The problem with the previous eyecup is that the rubber breaks easily. I have changed numerous eyecups from the XT1 to XT3.\u00a0 The new eyecup feels better for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the camera clip for the strap now comes with a plastic fastener. So the clip does not bend easily. A lot of my previous cameras have clips that is beyond recovery.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked that we can see the number of images taken on the screen. Eg. Total images taken is 1000. It will display as 1\/1000, 2\/1000 etc. Small improvements, but I really appreciate and liked it alot.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure these were feedback given by other photographers, and Fujifilm definitely worked on those constructive feedback.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked that the video and still selections are now on the top right dial. And only 2 selections, no longer on the top left dial with a host of other selections. It helped a lot when I have to toggle between stills and video.<\/p>\n<p>The video now shoots high speed at 240p, which is amazing for slow motion video. There is so much we can do with this.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in my recent shoot in Hokkaido with the preproduction set, the camera survived well in the cold weather. Same as what the XT3 did for me.<\/p>\n<p>Definitely a robust camera for my rough usage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The highly anticipated Fujifilm XT4 is finally announced Thanks to Fujifilm, I was able to bring the pre-production set to Eastern Hokkaido to photograph the wildlife there And I am also honoured to be one of the 4 photographers selected globally to endorse the camera.. \u00a0 \u00a0 Check out the videos below \u00a0 X-T4: \u201cPhotography [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[548,4],"tags":[552,554,305,345,549,551,257,217,553,555,230,89,32,16,550],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11854"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11854"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11859,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11854\/revisions\/11859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.williamchua.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
