Congratulations to Fujifilm! The Fujifilm X-T4, a strong entry in the X Series family of mirrorless digital cameras, is Videomaker’s pick as the best hybrid camera of NAB Week 2020
The X-T4 comes with a lot of important features. According to Fujifilm, the camera has a newly designed IBIS, a quiet shutter, a new vari-angle LCD screen, and an Eterna Bleach Bypass Film Simulation. Additionally, it has a battery that lasts quite a while and a form factor that’s both compact and lightweight. The camera records DCI 4K/60p and Full HD/240p super slow-motion video. It can also record F-Log footage in 10-bit color. These are some of the reasons why it’s the best hybrid camera of NAB Week 2020.
“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,” says Fujifilm.
X-T4’s Speed
Inside, the X-T4 has a CMOS 4 sensor and an X-Processor 4 is paired with a 26.1 MP, back-side illuminated sensor. That sensor comes with a quad-core CPU that can produce wide dynamic range and impressive image quality, according to Fujifilm. Furthermore, the X-T4 “lightening-fast” processing and “precision” autofocus performance “right down to -6EV.”
