Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

I switched from the X-T30 (the lack of matrix stabilization was annoying - you can only shoot video on it from a tripod). On the X-T4, video from the hands of an amateur level is quite real. You can’t do a professional without a body kit, but just for yourself - it’s easy. We were pleased with the stabilization, quiet fast shutter, comfortable grip (of course, exactly in comparison with the X-T30). A more capacious battery is also good, yet this is a weak point of mirrorless cameras so far. In general - a worthy product, although not without flaws.

Pros

Matrix stabilizer - significantly simplifies pictures of landscapes and still lifes, and portraits, if not in dynamics, handheld. Very effective (although there are competitors who are even better). Traditionally for Fuji - the colors of the pictures and the possibility of a very rich choice from the built-in "film" profiles (more relevant for video - where color correction subsequently takes more time). Good autofocus (not without flaws, there may be problems with floating focus in the video, with face recognition turned on, it can easily be mistaken for something extraneous). Good battery capacity for a mirrorless camera. Excellent native lenses (it’s better to focus on the XF line, but XC is also nothing - controversial reviews are only about the XC 15-45). Convenient settings right on the case. Convenient latches for some settings, reducing the chance of accidental scrolling. Two SD cards with support for high recording speeds, plus an external HDMI output for videographers who suddenly do not have enough built-in functions. Very fast (15 fps) mechanical shutter, which is also much quieter than the predecessor T3 or T30. Not a bad implementation of HDR, especially when shooting through an electronic shutter in bright light. At least, comparing with the analogue of Nikon D750, I can confidently say: there, in fact, it is a non-working thing, here, in bright sunlight and high shutter speed, it is quite working.

Cons

There is no flash on the case. That is, you must immediately pay for the external, if there is a need. I have a need once in a hundred shots, I still had to take the cheapest flash from Fuji (more than 6000, however). Crop, so ISO 1600 is already so-so, and it is better to use higher only when nothing will work without it at all. The grip, of course, is noticeably better than all the other X-series Fujis, but is still inferior to the competitors Canon, Nikon, Panasonic. Errors in autofocus, accepting branches, shadows on the wall and xs what kind of face. I did not compare with competitors, maybe they have the same thing. But still, it's sad for me. Price. Now from 117 thousand for gray, which, of course, is dofiga. But after the announcement, the price was first set at 122 thousand for white (but in fact it turned out to be 140+). But the rate jumped, and now only gray goods are cheap without a normal guarantee, yes.
