5 Reasons Why FujiRumors just Pre-ordered the Fujifilm X-T4 and Won’t Wait for Fujifilm X-H2

So I did it. I placed my pre-order for the Fujifilm X-T4.

I hope it will come in time for the wedding I will be shooting.

So why did a rangefinder lover like me buy a SLR-styled camera with selfie flippy screen? And why not wait for Fujifilm X-H2? Here are 5 reasons:

  1. I love dials: the Fujifilm X-H2 will have a top LCD screen. I prefer to have an exposure compensation dial… as many dials as possible. That’s what brought me into the Fujifilm X system, and that’s why I remain there. And I don’t care if the Fujifilm X-H2 has 43 megapixel and new processor. Ergonomics are more important than megapixel to me.
  2. I love compactness: the Fujifilm X-H2 will have a massive grip. That’s great for many of you, but I like my cameras to be smaller (which is why I shoot also the amazing X-E3)
  3. there is no hiding, I would have preferred a 3 way tilt screen. But then I thought, that I use the screen maybe 10% of the time, as I am total viewfinder fan. And in those 10% of the times, I will get used to flip that screen out. It still allows for portrait orientation (which the X-T100 screen does not). And it still allows for low and high angle shots. But again… my thought… I use the EVF anyway all the time. For the rest I will just keep it flipped inwards, like the “hidden screen” of the X-Pro3.
  4. As you know I am a teacher, and in the last few years I started making more and more videos with my students, as this is an extremely motivating activity for me and for the students. So far I filmed with my X-E3, or X-E2 (which I destroyed). Now it’s time to step up my game and get a camera with IBIS and serious video specs. At the beginning of June I will be on a 1 week school trip abroad, and I hope to have the X-T4 to document it.
  5. The X-H1 was close to make it into my camera bag. But looking at the massive autofocus improvements on the X-T4, I just had to pass and get the Fujifilm X-T4.

So yes, I am in. I pre-ordered the Fujifilm X-T4. Now the long waiting begins, just like all of you guys, as I have absolutely no privileged contacts with Fujifilm.

Wait… you want to know which color? Well, make your guess in the comments. I will let you know later on ;).

Fujifilm X-T4: Coronavirus Outbreak Pushes Shipping Back to Late April/Early May

We have been informed (thanks for the update), that due to the Coronavirus outbreak, there will be a very limited initial supply of Fujifilm X-T4 cameras.

We should not expect any meaningful supply until late April/early May.

After that, we have to see how the situation evolves in order to see if there will be stable stock or not.

For those considering to buy the Fujifilm X-T4, we recommend to pre-order quickly, to be on top of the waiting list and get the first samples that come from the factory.

Fujifilm X-T4 has No Headphone Jack in Camera, but Comes with USB-C Adapter

Unlike the Fujifilm X-T3, our sources tell us that the Fujifilm X-T4 will not have a dedicated headphone jack in the camera body. You will find it on the vertical grip, like it is for the Fujifilm X-H1.

But don’t worry, I have been informed that Fujifilm will put a USB-C headphone jack adapter in the X-T4 box for you, so you can monitor you audio using a dongle.

And if you want to monitor the audio and at the same time still be able to charge via USB-C, then this dongle should do the job.

The adapter solves the problem, but creates another one: pay attention not to lose that little dongle ;).
