After the announcement of its new and improved X100V compact camera, Fujifilm has unveiled its flagship mirrorless shooter, the X-T4.<\/p>\n
True to the \u201cIf it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it\u201d adage, the Japanese manufacturer has changed little about the camera on the outside \u2014 not that this is a problem, factoring in the excellent built quality of its predecessor, the X-T3. That said, there are some minor tweaks, like sleeker, sharper edges, similar to the path Fujifilm took with the X100V.<\/p>\n
The biggest improvements are on the inside. The X-T4 finally gets built in image stabilization, which should make the device a lot more useful for video. Fujifilm relies on a five-axis in-body image stabilization mechanism that it says will deliver up to 6.5 stops of stabilization.<\/p>\n
[Read:\u00a0A love letter to my most loyal companion, the Fujifilm X100F]<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s also got an additional anti-shake technology the company calls digital image stabilization, which should make footage even smoother \u2014 at the cost of a 10% crop. Still, videographers will likely appreciate at least having the option.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting the dual stabilization system should make it easier to use Fujifilm\u2019s prime lenses (some of which don\u2019t sport stabilization tech) for video too.<\/p>\n It goes without saying the camera still shoots 4K video at 60 frames per second. It\u2019s also got a slow motion feature that lets you record 1080P footage at 240 frames per second \u2014 about 10 times slower than normal footage.<\/p>\n The X-T4 can also shoot up to 15 frames per second with the mechanical shutter, which is a nice boost from its predecessor\u2019s 11 frames per second burst capabilities. That ought to put to the test its new battery, which promises up to 500 shots per charge. Of course, the downside to a new battery is that you can no longer use the NP-W126S model which powered the X-T2 and the X-T3.<\/p>\n The disappointing bit there\u2019s no changes in the sensor. The X-T4 appears to house the same sensor as the X-T3, so don\u2019t expect any improvements in maximum resolution.<\/p>\n Fujifilm has been on a roll this year. The X-T4 marks the third major release in the past three months, including the X-T200 and the X100V.<\/p>\n The X-T4 is slated to drop in April. It\u2019ll run you $1,699, but there\u2019ll also be lens kit versions that might save you some cash (unless you already own the lenses, of course). It\u2019ll be available in silver and black \u2014 I\u2019m personally more of a fan of the latter.<\/p>\n For more gear, gadget, and hardware news and reviews, follow Plugged on \n Published February 26, 2020 \u2014 10:47 UTC\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/02\/20200226_02_01_e.jpg\")
