After getting the Gold Award by DPR, it is now also highly recommended by ePHOTOzine with a long list of virtues and just minor negatives (none of them has to do with image quality).
Now the story seems to have come to an end, as Fujifilm writes in their latest press release that today they reached again normal operations again. There is a delay in shipping of products due to the attack, but Fujiiflm commits to catch up as soon as possible.
So far, investigations have found no evidence of leaked information.
Fujifilm has learned the lessons and says it will strengthen their cyber security.
You can see the video above and read the summary below.
In short: There is no competition. It makes no sense to even try to compare anything APS-C related to Fujifilm right now. It is hands down the best APS-C choice and dominates in basically every area, except one: autofocus.
To be clear, it focuses great, all cameras in this shootout do. But where it is not on par with Sony and Canon so far, it’s autofocus tracking.
Handling
Fujifilm X-T4: good grip and nice dial execution. You can still use it like a DSLR via front and back dial. Lots of versatility

Fujifilm X-T4: very much improved AF, especially face and eye AF. Performs very well. The tracking is not as sticky, though

Image Quality
Fujifilm X-T4: love 26MP sensor. Good low light performance and dynamic range. Fast readout with minimal rolling shutter which makes electronic shutter more useful. Great JPEG’s and film simulations. X-Trans does not play very nice with Adobe software. But DPRTV uses Capture One, and that works great

Video
Fujifilm X-T4: killer video camera. Internal 10bit recording. 4K60p. IBIS. Fully articulating screen. ETERNA profile. USB-C dongle for headphones. by far the best camera

Final Rankings
Fujifilm X-T4: most expensive of the bunch. Higher specs than the other cameras. Fujifilm has invested strongly in APS-C. Complete lineup. Lots of lenses. Professional body. Nice styling. Nice to use and to own.
