DPR: Fujifilm X-T4 Receives Gold Award
The Fujifilm X-T line of cameras is by far Fujifilm’s most popular camera so it is important for them to get the camera right when it is updated. So far the Fujifilm X-T4 has been another successful update since it addresses most of the weaknesses that the Fujifilm X-T3 had, while counting to refine a proven and beloved camera.
