DPReviewTV published their Fujifilm X-T4 review.
Down below the video and the summary for those, who don’t have time right now to watch it all.
Andrew comprehensively tested the IBIS on the Fujifilm X-T4. It’s a 30 minutes video.
Just so you know, when below we talk about “scientific test”, it means Andrew placed the cameras on a massage gun. That way, he was able to induce the same amount of vibration to all the cameras he tested.
Down below you will find the video and the summary in a nuthsell, for those who can’t watch the full video right now.
Fujifilm continues to interview those photographers, who snapped all those wonderful images with Fujifilm X and GFX cameras.
In this episode, Fujifilm interviews Romain Laurendeau, winner of the overall World Press Photo Story of the Year award with his series of images taken in Algeria.
He took his images with X100 series cameras, and here is what he says:
Almost 2 years ago, I wrote a comprehensive article comparing the virtues of Bayer vs X-Trans sensor, giving you reasons why Fujifilm should stick with X-Trans, and on the other hand telling you also why for other reasons Fujifilm should leave X-Trans for its APS-C sensors.
Attention: it’s a long article. So do not click this link, if you don’t like it when my articles are too long.
I stand by everything I said back then.
Of course the debate is not ending. Hence, Andrew did what probably is the best thing to do, to evaluate which sensor is better: a blind test.
200+ people commented on his video, and since people do not like long articles, I will leave it to you to read them all, take paper and pen, and note all the results.
Nah… you know what?
I’ll do it for you. I love it when I simplify your life and save you some time.
So, I’ve checked out all the comments, and marked the results on a paper.
There were some (not many) cases, where people didn’t have a clear preference and said that both are very good.
In most cases, people had a rather clear preference.
Sometimes people got more or less equal results between 2 cameras, in which case I gave a point to each camera.
The cameras tested are:
And here are the results people shared in the comments:
As you might know, photographers using Fujifilm cameras creamed off all the top awards at the World Press Photo Awards 2020.
Fujifilm continues to interview those photographers, who snapped all those wonderful images with Fujifilm X and GFX cameras.
The third interview is with Ricardo García Vilanova, who won the 3rd Prize for General News Singles in 2020 Word Press Photo (in the same category, Fujifilm won also the 1st prize, with Yasuyoshi Chiba grabbing the top winning image with his Fujifilm X-H1).
You can see the video below as well as a summary of the talk.
Fujifilm has just launched FUJIFILM X Webcam, which will allow you to run some Fujifilm cameras as a webcam.
A few notes from FujiRumors:
If you are looking for a free solution to run your Fujifilm camera as a webcam on a Mac, this is your workaround.
Did you listen to the 1 hour and 36 minutes long Fujifilm India live event with bad audio quality and half of it spoken in Hindi?
Probably not… but I did (you’re welcome) :).
I reported about it here already, when we talked about the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0.
And trust me, everything else they said, you know already (smaller IBIS, longer shutter life etc).
I don’t want to waste your precious time, so let’s get to the point of the only thing, that was new.
In fact, there was one thing said, 1+ hours into the talk, that I thought deserves a separate article. And it’s the only really new thing of all the event.
When the Fujifilm India product team was asked about the use of Fujifilm cameras as a webcam, one Fuji guy answered (I quote):
Live streaming is getting very popular and of course important during the COVID-19 situation. We all need a camera which you can just plug-and-play.
I can not say about it definitely, but I have heard from the developing team that we are developing something and they are soon going to release a firmware. There will be plug-and-play, and the X series camera will become like a webcam.
Yes, I have heard they are working on it, but I have no confirmation at this moment. But definitely they are doing something. Something is cooking.
Much more vague the answer if there will be Pro Res RAW for video via ATOMOS. Basically a “we know about this demand but we don’t know if it will come“.
Let’s hope that’s correct and more accurate than what another Fuji guy said during the same event, claiming that the X-T4 processor is improved over X-T3, so X-T4 is faster than X-T3.
How to run a Fujifilm camera as a webcam at this point in time?
Well there are two options:
Let’s cross fingers this firmware comes soon!
Oh… and namaste!

Fujifilm UK manger Andreas Georghiades returns to the Fujicast postcast.
It’s an almost 1 hour podcast, and if you are in a hurry and can’t listen it all, I provide a summary of everything the manager says, so you can get it all in under 5 minutes.
The Fujifilm GFX100 won the Camera GP Japan 2020 Editors Award, said to be the most prestigious camera award in Japan.
Now, I don’t know much about this specific award, but overall I wrote an article in the past about the dubious meaningfulness of such awards. But hey, better to win something than not to win.
It is totally subjective, but personally I rejoice much more when other awards are won, for example when photographers using Fujifilm cameras win hands down at the 2020 Word Press Photo awards.
Think at this:
None of the Fujifilm X shooters creaming off all the top awards at the World Press Photo 2020 used the most powerful camera on the market: an X-Pro2, an X100F, an X-H1 and others. But each of these cameras has its character, its peculiar look and feel, build ergonomically around the different needs of different photographers, and hence the tool many chose, to go out and grab award winning images.
Personally I also prefer to use a camera that fits my shooting style, rather than one with the power of a playstation, as I know I will get better results out of the first one.
This is also the reason, why the Fujifilm GFX100 made me salivate on specs level, but personally (as a guy, who does not make a penny out of his photography) I would not buy one, at least not until it looks like this Fujifilm GFX concept.
When I picked up the Fujifilm GFX100 and tested it, it was the first Fujifilm camera I ever hold in my hands, that I had to spend time just to figure out how to operate it.
You know what I mean?
I mean, give me an X-Pro2, X100V or X-T4, and thanks to their intuitive layout and manual controls, I can shoot right away, without any need of a manual or even setting up anything at the menu.
Specs are nice and good. But esthetics, ergonomics, feel and usability are more inspiring for me than mere specs, and therefore help me to keep my passion, fun and inspiration for photography high and fresh.
With that said, here you get it: the list of Camera JP Japan 2020 winners.
The big winner is Sony.
