    And the Fuji XT3 just received a firmware update with better autofocus. Fuji always showing respect for their slightly older cameras with firmware updates when other brands have given up.
    I can’t wait to see what they do with firmware for the xt4 over the next year.

    I'm a stills shooter. My daily driver (currently my only camera) is a Leica M10 with 50mm f/2 Summicron-M (Leitz Canada, 1979). I purchased both used: the M10 was a factory demonstrator ("Betriebskamera") and I got an amazing deal on the lens. I pushed the boat out considerably for the combo, and I'm glad I did. On the rare occasion I want video, I use my iPhone. I love Fujifilm, having spent quality time with both the X100s and the X-T1.

    That said, I probably will add the X-T3 to my gear when they're back in stock or if I can find a used one. At today's prices, it's a screaming deal. Most of the X-T4's upgrades fall into the "nice to have" category for me. Did I mention I have twin daughters in their senior year of high school? The grip may be a bit better. I do prefer the fully-articulating screen: in my 60's, with both knees repaired and a back injury, I don't get into some positions as easily as I once did. Also, the fully-articulating screen is more useful if I do want to do video, and it's mechanically more robust as well. I’m not enamored of IBIS for stills, though I do see its value for video: it’s a feature best turned off until you need it, as Fujifilm’s chief explained a few years ago. The reason for the X-T3 is that I have a specific need for the 10-24 zoom range. Fujifilm's is $999 new, but it's a constant f/4: I consider variable-aperture zooms to be constant-aperture at whatever the long end is, since they don't stay at the wider aperture for long once you start to zoom in. I also enjoy macro and have the occasional need for a telephoto. So glass and particular needs are my drivers in determining the value proposition for me.

    Great video guys. I have a quick question as I am looking to pick up a Fuji camera for dual purpose of video and photo shooting. Would you recommend the X-H1 (seems to be some good deals going on with the bundled battery grip) or the X-T4? I am an amateur photographer who is more into street photography. My go to is the GR3, but is looking for a camera that has more to offer for a wider range of photography and video shooting. Any comments will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

    Great review from a fellow Albertan! I had my eye on the XT30 but I think I'm going to spend the extra and get me a X-T3 it is an awesome camera with so many great features. At 50% heavier than it's cousin the XT-30 it's still a compact enough camera to take along a hike. Thanks for the review!

    And Fuji fixed some of the issues described in this video through firmware updates. Torn on the X-T4 or A7iii but I can't say Fuji isn't doing all the right stuff.

    Definitely waiting for the XH2 I don’t think the xt4 is a big upgrade from my xt3. I’m a video shooter and the side flaps over the hdmi port WTF no in body headphone jack wow.

    Can I ask why people would dislike a fully articulating screen? Can it just simply not be used? They mentioned people being unhappy about it a few times in the review. It's an honest question.

    I like the older screens better because I like to use it as a waist level viewfinder often. Though I think it would be cool to do both like the new Panasonic camera but that's a really beefy screen. Maybe someone will make a slimmer version in the future.

    There have been some reviews of the camera having technical problems, like freezing and needing removal of the battery etc. How far are these real issues with this camera???
