Hi all, I recently bought an X-T4 with 100-400 and 1.4x TC. Upgraded from a LUMIX G9, and absolutely love it so far, as I like 'hybrid'.
I'm very much an amateur, and dont claim to be any good. But whilst I'm very impressed with the combo, I do think there are a number of small, easily fixed areas Fuji need to seriously look at for wildlife shooting:
1 - Panasonic's implementation of focus bracketing (which goes forward and backward from the focal point, potentially saving many shots) is much better for this type of photography.
2 - Customisation options need to be improved, especially the ability to switch quickly between 2 completely different sets of settings, including focus area, AFS/AFC, drive mode, and minimum shutter speed etc (like Sony do).
3 - Panasonic's implementation of the focus check magnifier is also much better, just because it doesn't lag, can be set to automatically happen for a variable period with initial focus, and shows the focal point.
4 - a good affordable and compact longer zoom would be nice 🙂.
Also the OIS seems to temporarily disable itself at inappropriate times, requiring a restart - not good when you're trying to get a shot - plus the min shutter speed setting with ISO settings seems to be limited to 500 max. Or am I missing something?
Changes like this would make an already great wildlife setup absolutely perfect in my book! I'd be interested to hear other thoughts?
