x-t3 vs x-t4

Recommended Posts

This has probably been asked a bunch of times already, but I'm really struggling to decide between the x-t3 and x-t4. 

Is the x-t4 worth the bigger price-tag? I realise it has the IBIS which is probably the only main advantage. I've also read some disappointment with the built quality of the body.

I was already settled on getting the x-t3, especially at the promotional price, but all my local retailers are out of stock and don't anticipate shipment till at least May (I've been on the waitlist since Aug) so am looking into other alternatives, and the x-t4 seemed like the natural direction.

My plan is to initially couple this with the new 10-24, and wait for the 70-300 lens (which hopefully gets released soon!). And I might look at the 18-135 down the line.

And if I do go with the x-t4, is it worth waiting for any post-Christmas sales? Or is it too new to be included in any sales (including Fuji's next promotional offer)?

Background - I used to have the Canon 80D (with EF 70-300, EF 50, and Sigma 10-20) but really wanted to switch to a mirrorless system for weight and size. I mainly shoot landscape and wildlife. But need something that makes sense to carry on multi-day backpacking trips.

Any thoughts / suggestions would be most welcome :)

Maybe add the X-S10 in your candidate list. It has a nicer price-point. On the other hand, consider what IBIS does to battery life and make sure you are willing to have spares.

I am waiting for the next generation sensor and processor and will switch back to an X-Ex or X-PROx but that is just me.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.
    • I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

    • Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!
    • On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.
    • I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
