Thanks! I would be mainly getting the camera for stills and mixing a little video of the kids in.
Yeah I have to agree with you. I have an English Bulldog puppy and his paws are way too pudgy.
Kids should be able to work with it in point and shoot mode, but the pets might have a few problems, most dog paws are too big to move the controls. Cat paws and bird claws might be capable, you will just have to try it with which ever pet you are wanting to hand the camera off to and have them grab a few frames.
Most of the knocks on theX-T4’s autofocus come from trying to use lenses that are designed for stills to get videos, they just were not designed to react that way. These complaints vanished when the reviewer attached “video” lenses and tried again. If you are mainly wanting still photos, you should have no problems.
Winstron got a reaction from jerryy in X-T4 for kids and pets
