Panasonic loaned me the S1H so that was free! Unlike the Fuji! The S1H is going on a trip as well, so we will be seeing more of that

The GFX 100 don't forget has a DCI 4K full frame crop mode from 60 megapixel sensor window. So if you love a particular full frame lens, put it on there... I am interested to see how the 4K stands up in full frame mode, quality wise against the S1H and @BTM_Pix's Pocket 6K.

In this respect it is Fuji's first 4K full frame camera

There is also a Super 35mm crop mode for people who buy a medium format camera, but want to slap an Arriflex lens on the front. Yes, I am one of those idiots.

GFX100 doesn't shoot crop 4K, all capture modes are full sensor width with vertical subsampling.

It's stacked but doesn't have DRAM.

Disappointing, now X-H2:

DCI 4K 60p is greyed out on my XT3 and I have the latest firmware. 

It's available since day one.

4k 60p can now be shot in DCI 4K at 400mbps vs previously only ultra HD at 200mbps 

DCI 4K 60P is already available on X-T3. And 400Mbps is for All-Intra only up to 30P.

It's the formatting that's confusing.

The only change is the addition of FHD 240/200P, the rest is exactly the same as X-T3.

Probably mentioned before, but just to put it here - the off the shelf 108MP HMX does not actually capture 8K, it's tops at 6K and Xiaomi upscales it to 8K. Only Samsung's own version shoots 8K, with a heavy crop.

X-T3 120fps 1080p is achieved through a horizontal 4832 pixel full readout, and vertical 1:2 binning resulting a 4832 x 1359 bayer, which is then downsampled to 1920 x 1080.

To achieve 240fps without a further crop, a 2:3 vertical subsampling needs to be added before 1:2 binning, resulting a 4832 x 906 bayer.

I am assuming it'll have a battery grip option. The grip on the XT3 sucks though, it shuts off when switching to the next battery. The GH5 grip will just automatically switch even if you are recording. I'd love the XT3 much more if the battery grip wouldn't do that. I still love it though 🤣

No it doesn't shut off or stop recording when switching battery on X-T3. I have one with grip and all three batteries. Switching is seamless.

It was the case on X-T2 and X-H1.

Old news by now, but just to let everybody know, X-T4 uses a new battery NP-W235, likely to be 2350mAh (compared to X-T3 W126S 1260mAh).

No 4/3 modes? Asking in the name of anamorphic nerds. 

3:2 open gate covers that, you can crop.

Two highlights:

4K 50/60P and FHD/2K 100/120P have a no crop option, with a slight quality loss.

DOL-HDR readout mode used for WDR capture, providing additional 2EV DR in video mode (total 13EV+), at the expense of higher rolling shutter.

Refined and enhanced so it can shoot 6k60p? Cause this sensor only can do 6k30p... Well, we'll see. This camera interests me more and more.

6K 3:2 open gate at 30P, 6K 2.4:1 at 60P

Mark VII can record slowmo twice as long as Mark V. (4s vs. 2s)

It'll feature a refined and enhanced version of the same 26MP IMX571 sensor:

Is the UHD crop mode on the X-T3 only available for high speed shooting? I was wondering if you can set lower speeds like 25 fps in crop mode (with a view to using some old C-mount lenses on it).  

If you enable SD film sim/HDMI F-log, you can shoot all 4k frame rates at 1.18 crop.

Fujifilm X-T3 – firmware 3.20

The firmware update Ver.3.20 from Ver.3.10 incorporates the following issues:

1. Enhanced autofocus.
* Improving the tracking performance of the eye AF frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus on the eyes.
* Improving face-detection performance when there are faces of different sizes within the same frame, making it easier to attain accurate autofocus.
* Improving autofocus capability on a foreground subject even when there is a mixture of foreground and background subjects within a AF frame, causing the foreground subject to go out of focus, e.g. when shooting flowers against a busy background.

2. Capability to save up to 9,999 pictures in each folder.
Until now, the number of pictures that can be saved in a folder on an SD card was limited to 999. This update will raise the limit by ten times to 9,999 pictures.

3. The phenomena below during a movie shooting are fixed.
* Focus hunting at the minimum aperture.
* A black line can sometimes appear on the bottom of the center.

4. Fix of minor bugs.

7-8 stops of correction when used with in-lens stabilization

The inclusion of this in the specs is a strong indicator of BS.

7-8 stops of stablisation would defy physics.

androidlad I appreciate the technical knowledge you bring to the discussion board.  That said, is there a technical reason the senor likely to be used on the X-T4 (which is the same I believe on the X-T3) cannot deliver us better subject/object tracking in continuous autofocus?  Eye focus is great but somewhat limiting. I have not seen this discussed on this site unless I have missed it.

Better in what sense? There's a firmware update for X-T3 coming in literally two days to significantly improve C-AF and face/eye detection.

It's behind Sony's A6600/6400 mainly due to algorithm, it's very little to do with the sensor.

Just so I understand though, the X-T3 currently downsamples in-camera to 4k though (from the 5.26K 60p), right???

Will the X-T4 still downsample in camera to 4K from 5.26K? Or will it actually have a 5.26K file?

4K supersampled from 6K/5K and 6K encoded as 6144x4096, 6144x3240, 6144x2592, 5760x3240
