Photographing my first Wedding: The Gear I Bought, The Fujifilm X-T4 Dilemma and is My Friendship at Risk?

Back in mid January, I wrote this article, where I told you that my best friend asked me to photograph his wedding.

Well, actually not his entire wedding.

There is an official photographer, but he will stay only until dinner. He will then leave, and my friend asked me if I can cover it from dinner onwards.

So I asked you…

… in order to be ready for the shoot, any tips and tricks, also from a gear point of view?

The article received a massive response with over 230 comments.

I did read them all, but was not able to reply to all of them, as then all the mega buzz started for the X100V announcement and the Fujifilm X-T4 rumors. Not to talk that January is always extremely busy also at school, and now in February I started a video project, which takes lots of time, too.

So I thought I post one big response article now, that touches three main points: the gear, how I should relate with the official photographer and something that came unexpected for me: the risk to destroy my friendship.

Let’s go in order:

So What, Happy or Not about the Fujifilm X-T4 Flippy Screen? The Final Answer in this Survey!

I must admit, I am confused.

I always thought that most of the people would be happy about the Fujifilm X-T4 having a selfie flippy screen.

But if I look at the recent comments to our Fujifilm X-T4 selfie screen rumor, I am not so sure about that anymore.

So out of curiosity I decided to launch a survey. Vote now, and let us know if Fujifilm made most of us happy or not.

The Fujifilm X-T4 will be announced February 25/26. You can find the precise X-T4 announcement time in your country here.

Don’t worry… I am working restlessly, and more rumors are coming.

Fujifilm X-T4 Coming with X-T200 Mechanism Flippy Screen (and not Panasonic S1H)

The Fujifilm X-T4 countdown is running

Fujifilm X-T4

Back in November 2019, FR-reader and X-T member J., shared a bunch of details he heard about the Fujifilm X-T4.

Here is his list:

  • X-T4 with IBIS
  • fully articulating flippy…essentially a Panasonic S1H
  • expect a T4 about 1/3 of an inch thicker, and about 5-6oz heavier
  • On a good note expect 6k60 and 10bit internal
  • anamorphic ratio
  • release end of 2020
  • X-H line most likely canceled

I tell you, it’s hard to get all rumors right all the time, especially long term rumors. Sometimes you follow the right hint, but the devil is in the details.

And today, we have to correct such a detail.

According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-T4 will not have the Panasonic S1H flippy screen, but it will use the same mechanism of the Fujifilm X-T200 and Fujifilm X-A7. You can see the difference between the two screens in this article, where you can also vote on which tilt screen design you prefer.

And since J. list has spread like fire on the internet, today on FujiRumors we would like to bring some order in the chaos.

Hence, here is what our sources can confirm, what they say is wrong, and what none of our sources could confirm until now.

  • X-T4 with IBIS – CORRECT however, this comes unsurprisingly, as Fujifilm repeatedly said they will make IBIS smaller and fit it in smaller cameras
  • fully articulating flippy – CORRECT…essentially a Panasonic S1H – WRONG – it will have Fujifilm X-T200 mechanism
  • expect a T4 about 1/3 of an inch thicker, and about 5-6oz heavier – UNCONFIRMED
  • On a good note expect 6k60 and 10bit internal – WRONG – read this rumor
  • anamorphic ratio – UNCONFIRMED
  • release end of 2020 – WRONG – you can see date and time of Fujifilm X-T4 announcement in this article
  • X-H line most likely canceled – WRONG (according to our sources and Fujifilm Japan manager statement)

I can assure you, that what FujiRumors says in regard to Fujifilm X-T4 (and all other rumors), is 100% accurate.

Please stay tuned… more big are rumors coming ;).

Fujifilm X-T4: D-Pad or No D-Pad? The Answer in This Article!

I still remember, when back in August 2017, I shared a rumor, that many of you thought is wrong, but it turned out correct: Fujifilm will remove the D-Pad from the Fujifilm X-E3.

Since then, many Fujifilm cameras saw the loss of the D-Pad:

Even the huge Fujifilm GFX100, that definitely has enough real estate to host a D-Pad, didn’t get one.

Well, I am happy to report, that the Fujifilm X-T4 will remain a welcome exception to this trend and keep the D-Pad, just as the X-T3 did.

The Fujifilm X-T4 will be announced February 25/26. You can find the precise X-T4 announcement time in your country here.

Fujifilm X-T4 will NOT shoot 6K Video

Fujifilm X-T4

Back in November, Fujifilm X-T group member J. shared details he heared about the Fujifilm X-T4. You can see the full list here.

One of the features he gave us was 6K 60p video recording.

That rumor took off like crazy, and I saw many giving 6K for a fact already.

However, I have to tell you that this is not correct.

The Fujifilm X-T4 will shoot 4K video, but not 6K.

The Fujifilm X-T4 will be announced February 25/26. You can find the precise X-T4 announcement time in your country here.

New Fujifilm NP-W235 Battery for Fujifilm X-T4 Registered

Nokishita just spotted the registration for a new Fujifilm battery, the Fujifilm NP-W235.

What is this for?

Well, as FujiRumors already told you several weeks ago, the Fujifilm X-T4 will come with a complete new battery, so not the current NP-W126 and not even the GFX NP-T125 battery.

Now you know the name: Fujifilm NP-W235.

We will know, see and read everything about the Fujifilm X-T4 on this date.

Looks like we were spot on with yet another rumor (thanks to the source!!!).

And don’t worry… more is coming on FujiRumors, so definitely stay tuned and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, RSS-feed and Twitter.
