Now the story seems to have come to an end, as Fujifilm writes in their latest press release that today they reached again normal operations again. There is a delay in shipping of products due to the attack, but Fujiiflm commits to catch up as soon as possible.
So far, investigations have found no evidence of leaked information.
Fujifilm has learned the lessons and says it will strengthen their cyber security.
You can see the video above and read the summary below.
In short: There is no competition. It makes no sense to even try to compare anything APS-C related to Fujifilm right now. It is hands down the best APS-C choice and dominates in basically every area, except one: autofocus.
To be clear, it focuses great, all cameras in this shootout do. But where it is not on par with Sony and Canon so far, it’s autofocus tracking.
Handling
Fujifilm X-T4: good grip and nice dial execution. You can still use it like a DSLR via front and back dial. Lots of versatility
Nikon Z50
Canon M6 II
Sony A6600
Displays
Fujifilm X-T4: best display. Touch screen with full articulation. Nice EVF

All cameras have very good autofocus.

Fujifilm X-T4: very much improved AF, especially face and eye AF. Performs very well. The tracking is not as sticky, though

Image Quality
Fujifilm X-T4: love 26MP sensor. Good low light performance and dynamic range. Fast readout with minimal rolling shutter which makes electronic shutter more useful. Great JPEG’s and film simulations. X-Trans does not play very nice with Adobe software. But DPRTV uses Capture One, and that works great

Video
Fujifilm X-T4: killer video camera. Internal 10bit recording. 4K60p. IBIS. Fully articulating screen. ETERNA profile. USB-C dongle for headphones. by far the best camera

Final Rankings
Fujifilm X-T4: most expensive of the bunch. Higher specs than the other cameras. Fujifilm has invested strongly in APS-C. Complete lineup. Lots of lenses. Professional body. Nice styling. Nice to use and to own.
Here is a roundup covering a few topics, from differences between full frame and APS-C, to wishlists about the Fujifilm X-H2 and recommendations on some areas where Fujifilm must improve. Also, a video with an X-H2 wishlist.
I’ll include also a little tips and tricks section.
Sorry guys, now I go back to my beer and the second half of the Italy* vs Turkey match.
I am probably one of the few out there, who finds the hidden screen of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 a certainly audacious, but also interesting concept. And overall, if I’d have to choose between a rangefinder alike Fujifilm camera with selfie screen or one with hidden screen, I’d go for he hidden one.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate selfie screens (in fact it was a true blessing to have one on my X-T4 during my online teaching lessons), but I feel like there are some myths around them that have to be debunked, and I’ve tried to do so in this article.
With that said, if you are one of those who might be intrigued by the hidden screen concept but own a Fujifilm X100V, then here on etsy there is a little 3D printed X100V case that will hide your screen and make it more X-Pro3 alike.
Today Fujifilm issued a statement, saying that the network is recovering and starting from today, they will resume orders for products and services that were partialyl suspended.
It seems like slowly everything is getting back to normal.
Notice of delay in delivery due to communication failure and resumption of orders
Due to unauthorized access to the server used by Fujifilm, a communication failure occurred in our network, and we are currently in the process of recovery. From June 9th (Wednesday), we will resume orders for products and services (photo prints, etc.) that were partially suspended. In addition, the delivery date may be delayed.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
