The Fujifilm X-T4 is a mirrorless APS-C camera. With a sturdy, weather-sealed body and dedicated exposure dials, it embodies the old-school shooting experience that Fujifilm is known for. Add to that its relatively portable size, in-body image stabilization (IBIS), and solid video specs, and you've got a well-rounded camera for hobbyists and hybrid shooters.

Our Verdict

7.9 Travel Photography

The Fujifilm X-T4 is good for travel photography. It delivers very good image quality overall, and Fuji's X mount features a wide range of portable lens options. Though the body is on the heavier side, it's still relatively portable, and it's very well-built, with a robust weather-sealed build. It also has a great battery life for a mirrorless model. That said, its autofocus tracking isn't the most consistent, especially in busier settings. Its ergonomics can take some getting used to as well.

Pros
  • Very good image quality.
  • Impressive build quality.
  • Relatively portable.

Cons
  • Somewhat heavy.
  • AF tracking can be unreliable.
7.9 Landscape Photography

The Fujifilm X-T4 is very good for landscape photography. It takes high-quality images, with a good amount of dynamic range to bring out more detail in high-contrast landscapes. It also does pretty well in low light, though its noise handling is just decent. It's a fairly portable camera with a relatively long battery life, though it's on the heavier side, and its ergonomics can take getting used to.

Pros
  • Very good image quality.
  • Impressive build quality.
  • Relatively portable.

Cons
  • Somewhat heavy.
7.8 Sport & Wildlife Photography

The Fujifilm X-T4 is good for sports and wildlife photography. It can shoot at very high continuous shooting speeds, and it has an effective autofocus system overall. That said, its AF tracking feature isn't the most reliable with very quick or erratic subjects. It also has a small image buffer and takes a long time to empty once full, which can interrupt your shooting.

Pros
  • Very good image quality.
  • Impressive build quality.
  • High maximum shooting speed.
Cons
  • Somewhat heavy.
  • AF tracking can be unreliable.
  • Small photo buffer.

7.9 Vlogging

The Fujifilm X-T4 is good for vlogging. Its fully articulated screen lets you easily monitor what you're recording, while its in-body stabilization feature keeps handheld videos stable. Its autofocus system also does an excellent job of tracking and maintaining focus on your face as you record. That said, it imposes a 30-minute time limit on video recordings, and it isn't the smallest or lightest camera for on-the-go vlogging.

Pros
  • Fully articulated, high-resolution screen with good brightness.
  • Impressive video quality.
  • Effective video autofocus.

Cons
  • Somewhat heavy.
  • Time limit on recording.

8.5 Studio Video

The Fujifilm X-T4 is great for studio video. Video quality is excellent, and it has great internal recording capabilities, with internal 10-bit capture and Log recording. However, it's limited to 4:2:0 subsampling internally and has a 30-minute time limit on recording. Unfortunately, it lacks a dedicated headphone jack, necessitating the use of a clunky USB-C adapter, which means giving up external power delivery if you want to monitor your audio in-camera.

Pros
  • Impressive video quality.
  • Effective video autofocus.

  • Internal 10-bit recording and Log support.

Cons
  • No built-in headphone jack.
  • Time limit on recording.

  • Limited to 4:2:0 chroma sampling internally.

6.9 Action Video

The Fujifilm XT4 isn't designed for POV action video. It isn't small enough to be mounted on a head rig or other action video rigs, and it isn't waterproof. That said, it's sturdy and weather-sealed. It also offers great video recording quality, and it has a fair amount of frame rate options, including a dedicated slow-motion recording mode that can capture 1080p footage at up to 240 fps.

Pros
  • Impressive video quality.
  • Supports 120 fps and 240 fps recording with slow motion playback.
  • Effective video autofocus.

Cons
  • Somewhat heavy.
  • Not waterproof.
  • Time limit on recording.

7.7 Raw Photo

The Fujifilm X-T4 has good RAW photo performance. It has good dynamic range to bring out more detail in high-contrast scenes. Its high-resolution sensor also does a great job of resolving fine detail, even when you punch in. That said, its noise performance in low light is only decent, though you can still get good results depending on your lens.

Pros
  • Good dynamic range.
  • Photos look quite sharp and detailed.
Cons
  • Noise handling is just decent.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

The Fujifilm X-T4 comes in two color variants: Black and Silver. We purchased the Black variant with the FUJINON XF 18-55mm F/2.8-4 R lens; here's the label for our unit. We expect the Silver variant to perform the same.

You can also buy it in either color scheme with the FUJINON XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR lens or without a lens at all, depending on the retailer.

Compared To Other Cameras

The Fujifilm X-T4 is a well-rounded hybrid camera. While it falls behind full-frame competitors like the Canon EOS R6 and Sony α7 III in areas like dynamic range and noise handling, it's an excellent all-arounder that still captures great image quality, with a relatively portable, sturdy build to boot. Throw in the unique Fuji shooting experience, with dedicated exposure dials and film simulation profiles, and you have a versatile hybrid camera that's fun to shoot.

For other options, check out our recommendations for the best mirrorless cameras for travel, the best cameras for video, and the best cameras we've tested overall.

Fujifilm X-T30 II

The Fujifilm X-T4 is better overall than the Fujifilm X-T30 II, though they both use the same sensor, so image quality is roughly on par between them. If you prefer a more robust camera with weather-sealing, a bigger high-resolution viewfinder, and a fully articulated screen, get the X-T4. If you're looking for something smaller and easier to carry around, the X-T30 II is still a great option. However, the X-T4 also has better internal video recording capability, so it's a better option for video work.

Fujifilm X-H2

The Fujifilm X-H2 and the Fujifilm X-T4 are both excellent APS-C cameras, but they're aimed at slightly different users. The X-H2 is a bit more powerful, with a higher-resolution sensor, upgraded autofocus system, and video recording in up to 8k resolution. However, it's a lot bulkier than the Fujifilm X-T4, which is the better choice for users who want a more portable hybrid camera.

Fujifilm X-T5

The Fujifilm X-T5 marks a return to the photography-oriented roots of the X-T series after the more hybrid design of the Fujifilm X-T4. Both are very capable cameras for photography and video, but the fully articulated screen of the X-T4 is better suited to video work, while the three-way tilting screen of the X-T5 is better for photography. The X-T5 is just a touch lighter and more portable, and its new high-resolution sensor captures more detailed photos with more cropping leeway.

Fujifilm X-H2S

The Fujifilm X-H2S is more capable than the Fujifilm X-T4, with an improved autofocus system, better internal video capability, and a stacked sensor design that allows for faster burst shooting with minimal rolling shutter effect. That said, it can also be overkill for many people, particularly if you don't need its advanced filmmaking features. The X-T4 may be better if you want a more portable hybrid camera with dedicated exposure control dials.

Sony α7 IV

The Sony α7 IV and the Fujifilm X-T4 are both great hybrid photo/video cameras, but they use different-sized sensors. Because the Fujifilm uses an APS-C sensor, it's more portable than the Sony, but both cameras are well-built, are weather-sealed, and have fully articulated touchscreens. The Fuji also has a faster max burst rate and better overall stabilization. On the other hand, the Sony's full-frame sensor gives it better low-light and high-ISO performance and better dynamic range. When it comes to video, both cameras can shoot 4k / 60 fps, although the Sony incurs a larger crop at this frame rate, and they can both record 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally. While the higher-resolution full-frame sensor on the Sony offers some advantages over the Fujifilm, the Fuji is still competitive, especially if you prefer a more compact form factor.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III

The Fujifilm X-T4 and the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III are both great all-around cameras, but the Fujifilm has a slight edge thanks to its larger sensor, slightly more compact design, and more advanced video features. Though the Fujifilm isn't quite as comfortable to shoot with, its APS-C sensor has better noise handling and dynamic range than the smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor of the Olympus. It also has a better battery life and higher-resolution EVF. That said, the Olympus has a faster max burst rate and extra features like a high-resolution photo mode and digital ND filters that still make it an appealing option for photography. However, when it comes to video, the Fujifilm offers better internal recording, higher bit rates, and 4k / 60 fps recording. 

OM SYSTEM OM-1

The Fujifilm X-T4 and the OM SYSTEM OM-1 perform similarly overall, though they use different-sized sensors. Both cameras have highly effective IBIS systems, decent if somewhat inconsistent autofocus systems, and similar video specs. That said, the Fujifilm is a bit more portable, with dedicated exposure dials that give it a slightly more hands-on shooting experience. The OM SYSTEM, on the other hand, offers faster electronic burst shooting and more computational photography modes, along with generally smaller lenses.

PENTAX K-3 Mark III

The PENTAX K-3 Mark III and the Fujifilm X-T4 are both premium APS-C cameras, but they use different technologies with different advantages and disadvantages. The PENTAX is a DSLR, so it's heavier and bulkier, but it has an optical viewfinder and longer battery life. The Fujifilm, on the other hand, is a mirrorless camera, allowing for a much more portable body. It also performs significantly better when it comes to video features and autofocus tracking.

Build Quality

The build quality here is excellent. The camera is made of sturdy magnesium alloy and feels very solidly built, with weather-sealing to keep out dust and moisture. The buttons and dials all feel of high quality, and the dials aren't loose or easy to change by accident. The screen mechanism also feels very sturdy. While the SD card slots and battery compartment are covered with hinged doors, the inputs on the side of the camera only have rubber flaps.

The camera's ergonomics are decent. The camera is large enough for most hand sizes, and the textured grip around the body feels secure, but it's not the deepest hand grip, so it can be a bit slippery, especially if you have larger hands. For a larger grip, you'll have to look to more pro-oriented hybrid models like the Fujifilm X-H2 or Fujifilm X-H2S. Like most Fujifilm cameras, the X-T4 has dedicated physical controls for ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation, making it easy to adjust exposure settings without diving into the menu. That said, the eyecup around the viewfinder is a bit stiff, and the shoulder strap attachment points are somewhat in the way.

The menu is fairly simple and easy to navigate, though some settings are buried in submenus and harder to find. Thankfully, the camera includes visual graphics for certain settings and functions, though there's no additional info button or 'guide' mode. Fujifilm also uses its own terminology for certain settings, like 'photometry' for metering settings, which can take some getting used to. But overall, it's pretty intuitive.

The Fujifilm X100V is also compatible with Fujifilm's XApp, which Fujifilm claims to offer smoother wireless connectivity between X series cameras and smartphones than the older Fujifilm Camera Connect app. You can use it to transfer files or control the camera remotely.

The Fujifilm X-T4 has a great battery life. It's CIPA-rated for 500 shots on a full charge, which is great, especially among mirrorless cameras. However, these ratings don't necessarily align with real-world numbers, so you're mileage will vary depending on how you use your camera. 

Its video battery life is decent, lasting for about an hour and a half of 4k video recording. That's fairly middle of the road, but if you need to extend the battery life, you can use an external power source.

The Fujifilm X-T4 can shoot at a quick max burst rate. Its mechanical burst rate maxes out at approximately 12 fps, which is excellent, and with the electronic shutter, it can shoot at up to 20 fps. While newer models, like the Fujifilm X-T5, have improved further, the X-T4 is still great for continuous shooting. 

Unfortunately, however, the photo buffer fills up quite quickly when shooting in RAW format, and once full, it takes a long time to empty, which can interrupt your shooting. In JPEG, the buffer is notably bigger, but will still fill up after about 160-170 frames.

The camera uses a hybrid autofocus system. It includes a few different area modes and a 'Tracking' mode in AF-C that follows any subject beneath your focus point. In addition, there's a Face/Eye detection system that can automatically detect and track human faces or eyes. Overall, however, the tracking system is inconsistent. With faster or more erratic subjects, it can struggle to keep up, resulting in a disappointing keeper rate. For a Fujifilm camera with improved AF tracking, check out the Fujifilm X-H2S.

The camera features in-body image stabilization, and it can also be paired with optically stabilized lenses, like the FUJINON XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R OIS, with which we tested image stabilization. Using both IBIS and OIS, the camera can capture clear handheld images at very slow shutter speeds. However, stabilization performance can vary with different factors, including but not limited to what lens you use, what focal length you shoot at, and how steady your hands are.

The camera's internal recording capability is good overall, though it has some limitations, especially compared to newer cameras. For one, there's a 30-minute cap on recording, and while it does support internal 10-bit capture, it's limited to 4:2:0 chroma sampling internally. Overall, that's not bad, unless you're shooting footage that requires more keying and work in post. If you need a camera that can do 4:2:2 subsampling internally, consider the Panasonic LUMIX GH5s. The X-T4 can also overheat with prolonged recording sessions, though it isn't too bad overall.

The camera's internal recording capability is good overall, though it has some limitations, especially compared to newer cameras. For one, there's a 30-minute cap on recording, and while it does support internal 10-bit capture, it's limited to 4:2:0 chroma sampling internally. Overall, that's not bad unless you're shooting footage that requires more keying and work in post.

The camera's autofocus performs incredibly well in video. It's very consistent at tracking moving human subjects, even when they move in and out of frame. Its manual object tracking performance is just as good, with smooth and responsive focus transitions.

The video quality is great in FHD. Video is reasonably sharp and detailed, and the colors pop out of camera. It performs well in low light, with a bit of noticeable noise, but overall, it's fairly clean.

Rolling shutter performance is better in 1080p. While you'll still see some skewing and wobbling with quick camera movements, it's less pronounced than in 4k.

The Fujifilm X-T4 has excellent dynamic range in video. It captures a very wide total dynamic range, with a clean background floor. It's usable dynamic range, however, is more limited, though you can still capture a max of about 12 stops of usable dynamic range. That makes it well-suited to recording in trickier lighting conditions, with plenty of detail retained in the shadows and highlights.

Tested settings:

  • Resolution: 4k
  • Frame Rate: 30 fps
  • Log Format: F-Log

The camera uses a USB-C port for charging, power delivery, and file transfer. It also features a Micro (Type D) HDMI port and includes a mic input. Unfortunately, there's no built-in headphone jack, but the camera does include a 3.5mm-to-USB-C adapter in the box. Still, that means if you need to power the camera externally, you'll have to choose between power delivery and in-camera audio monitoring.
