Image Stabilization
One of the most noticeable improvements we have in the new Fuji XT-4 camera compared to Fuji X-T3 is the introduction of a 5-axis image stabilization system. The Fuji X-T4 is able to compensate upto 6.5 stops of shutter speed. Not only that Fuji is also able to give us DIS (digital image stabilization), specifically for video. But while using DIS mode we have to face at least 1.1X crop factor while using that.
Fuji says that they are able to improve the IBIS accuracy by 8 times when compared to Fuji X-H1 camera.

Improved Shutter Mechanism
Fuji introduced a new shutter mechanism inside the Fuji X-T4 camera. With the help of new shutter mechanism the Fuji X-T4 camera is able to shoot 15 FPS continuous shooting mode (with AF/AE tracking). As we know the Mechanical shutter of Fuji X-T.3 camera is limited to 11 FPS per second.
If you need faster burst speeds, note that both cameras can go up to 20fps with the electronic shutter, or 30fps with the electronic shutter and crop mode (1.25x). The cropping issue isn’t a Fuji problem, Sony IMX 571 sensor crops images upto 1.25x while you move on @ 20 or 30 fps per second.

As usual Fuji X-T4 and the Fuji X-T3 camera are able to shoot 4K up to 60p and 200Mbps. But while shooting 4K video at 60 fps we have to face crop 1.18x crop. If you are using both cameras at 4K up to 30 and 400Mbps we have to face no cropping issue. You can have 10-bit 4:2:0 for internal recording and 10-bit 4:2:2 via HDMI [external recorder].
10X SloMo Mode: With the new Fuji X-T4 camera we are able to shoot 10X slo Mo videos with an impressive shooting speed of 240 FPS. The X-T3 can do a maximum of 120fps, which is half that (5x slow motion effect). Note that the High Speed mode works with a 1.29x crop.
But recent update suggest – Upcoming Firmware update will uplift the Full HD frame rates to 240FPS, same as we have in the Fuji X-T4.

Economy mode to Save More Power
Fuji added a new economy mode with the Fuji X-T4 camera , And with the eco mode you can shoot more than 600+ shots with a single charge without any issue.. But, Even while you are shooting under standard mode you can capture more than 500 shots with a single charge.
That;s really impressive when you compare it with the Fuji X-T3 camera, since the predecessor was limited to 390 shots only with a single charge.
There is a new battery grip designed for the new camera, the VG-XT4, to accommodate two NP-W235 batteries.
————————————-
Major improvements
We can write our video files simultaneously on both the cards. BTW, SD card failure isn’t a big issue nowadays. F-Log View Assist which allows you to display normal contrast and colours when recording with Log (F-Log is available on the X-T3 as well).
Both Fuji X-T3 and Fuji X-T4, have a 3.5mm audio input that can be used for microphones. On the X-T4 it doubles as a line input for other types of audio equipment.
USB-C adapter instead (included in the box). Is being used to monitor the audio level of the camera while recording. The feature was introduced with Fuji X-T30.
Verdict: If you already won Fuji X-T3 camera, then no need to invest your money again on Fuji X-T4, you should wait for Fuji X-T5. If you are planning to buy a new Fuji X-T series camera than for sure go with the new Fuji X-T4 camera.

According to the latest rumors we have, canon is working on an RF Mount based APS-C Mirrorless camera. The name of the camera is said to be Canon EOS R7, camera will have the same 32.5MP sensor we have seen inside the Canon EOS M6 Mark II camera as well as the Canon EOS 90d camera. The camera will also have IBIS inside. From the set of core specification it’s look the the camera is coming to compete against the Fuji X-T4 and Sony A6600.
Well we all know that Canon already has an EF-M Mount mirrorless system camera line-up, but they have lost the versatility they have in the DSLR era. To regain the same versatility Canon is now planning to introduce Canon RF- Mount based APS-C mirrorless camera system in the market. They are also working on lenses dedicated for the new APS-C mirrorless system. Canon will be announcing the new APS-C system mirrorless camera along with few lenses at very beginning of 2021.
The rumored surfaced over the web, so take it with grain of salt.
We will update you soon as we get any new information.

INTRODUCING THE FUJIFILM X-T4: CRAFTED FOR THE MODERN IMAGE-MAKER
Valhalla, New York – February 26, 2020 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation is proud to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM X-T4 (hereinafter “X-T4”), a flagship model of the X Series family of mirrorless digital cameras.
The X-T4 is an astounding imaging tool, packing a newly designed IBIS, a quiet new shutter unit, a new vari-angle LCD screen, a new Eterna Bleach Bypass Film Simulation, and a new, large-capacity, battery all into a compact and lightweight camera body. This camera is the perfect tool for today’s image makers and is an ideal multi-functional solution for visual storytellers to use in creating their stories.
More information about the key features of X-T4:
Designed for Quality and Speed
Fujifilm’s state-of-the-art X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 combination sits at this camera’s core, pairing this exceptional, 26.1MP, back-side illuminated sensor with a powerful quad-core CPU to produce images with wide dynamic range and incredible image quality, doing so with lightning-fast processing and precision AF performance, right down to -6EV.
IBIS Puts Stability in the User’s Hands
A huge part of creating great photos or videos is being in the right place at the right time – and that often means making handheld images to get to the heart of the action. X-T4’s five-axis In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) provides up to 6.5 stops1 of image stabilization to make sure that, even in the midst of all the excitement, images remain steady and sharp. Combine this with the new four-axis Digital Image Stabilizer, and there’s lots of room to maneuver.
Steady, Reliable Performance
For any serious image maker, having a tool that can be relied upon to perform flawlessly whenever it is required is extremely important. For this reason, X-T4 features a newly developed mechanical shutter that is the fastest and most robust in the history of the X Series. Not only can it make 26.1 Megapixel images at 15 frames per second, but it is also rated for 300,000 actuations. Combined with its larger capacity battery that is capable of up to 600 frames per charge2, X-T4 has the power and the durability to give users the peace of mind that they’ll never miss the perfect opportunity.
Find the Best Angle for the Story
When chasing the perfect image, versatility is key. The 1.62 million pixel vari-angle touchscreen LCD featured on X-T4 can be adjusted to make it visible from a wide range of positions. This not only provides a high-quality monitor to frame with, but also provides quick and simple controls when they’re needed most. On the flip side, there are times when it’s necessary to minimize the light and distractions that a screen can create. That’s why X-T4’s LCD has been designed to easily fold away so it is completely hidden from view, leaving the updated 3.69 million pixel/100fps electronic viewfinder to focus on the moment at hand.
When a Story Needs Movement
The modern image maker is blurring the lines between photography and videography, and X-T4 has been designed to celebrate this new generation of hybrid creativity. With the simple flick of a switch, movie mode is activated, meaning X-T4 is capable of recording both professional-level DCI 4K/60p and Full HD/240p super slow-motion video. It is also possible to record F-Log footage in 10-bit color, straight to the card. What’s more, the innovative AF-C subject tracking works in low-light conditions down to -6EV and the camera’s use of a new, high capacity battery lets content creators push their creative limits.
Powerful Image Manipulation Made Easy
For over 86 years, FUJIFILM Corporation has produced photographic films that have been used by some of the world’s best-known moviemakers to create some of the world’s most successful movies. This legendary reputation in color science is celebrated with the company’s hugely popular selection of film simulation modes, which digitize some of the industry’s most iconic films and puts them right at hand. X-T4 introduces ETERNA Bleach Bypass, the newest addition to the much-loved collection of Film Simulation modes available in the X Series product line, which creates a beautiful de- saturated, high-contrast look that image-makers will find irresistible.
X-T4 will be available in both black and silver and is expected to be available for sale in Spring 2020 at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1,699.95 USD and $2,199.99 CAD.
Sony announced a new Fullrame Mirrorless today, The lens isn’t too affordable and comes at $898 price tag. I think they should keep the price of Lens somewhere areound $495 to 550. When they are offering FF Mirrorless bodies with more features at a less price compared to Canon and Nikon FF DSLRs or Mirrorless, then they should announce affordable range of Mirrorless lenses too for their user base.
