Fujifilm X-T4 vs Nikon D610 Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Fujifilm X-T4, which was introduced in February 2020 is a Advanced Mirrorless camera with a 26.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Nikon D610, which was introduced in October 2013 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 24.0MP Full frame sensor. As you can see, D610 is 7 years older than X-T4. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference.

Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.

Here is a brief look at the main features of Fujifilm X-T4 and Nikon D610 before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Fujifilm X-T4 vs Nikon D610: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm X-T4 and Nikon D610 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm X-T4 has external dimensions of 135 x 93 x 84 mm (5.31 x 3.66 x 3.31″) and weighs 607 g (1.34 lb / 21.41 oz) (including batteries). Nikon D610 has external dimensions of 141 x 113 x 82 mm (5.55 x 4.45 x 3.23″) and weighs 850 g (1.87 lb / 29.98 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm X-T4 and Nikon D610. Fujifilm X-T4 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 6mm narrower, 20mm shorter and 18mm thinner than Nikon D610.

Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm X-T4 and Nikon D610.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm X-T4 is significantly lighter (243g ) than the Nikon D610 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Nikon D610 has a Full frame sensor and Fujifilm X-T4 has a smaller APS-C sensor, Fujifilm X-T4's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Nikon D610 lenses.

Weather Sealing

Both X-T4 and D610 have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Nikon D610's 3.2" LCD screen is slightly larger than Fujifilm X-T4's 3 screen.

On the other hand, Fujifilm X-T4 sports a Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Nikon D610 has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to X-T4.
Fujifilm X-T4 vs Nikon D610: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm X-T4 has a 26.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor . On the other hand, Nikon D610 has a 24.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 3 processor.

Another difference between these two cameras is that Fujifilm X-T4's sensor lacks anti-alias (Low-Pass) filter. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.

Below you can see the X-T4 and D610 sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Fujifilm X-T4 and Nikon D610 Cameras


As seen above, Nikon D610 has a 2.4x Larger sensor area than Fujifilm X-T4. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.

Fujifilm X-T4 vs Nikon D610 Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Nikon D610 has an advantage over Fujifilm X-T4 There are 309 lenses for Nikon D610's Nikon F mount, on the other hand there are only 56 lenses for Fujifilm X-T4's Fujifilm X lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. Fujifilm X-T4 has a big advantage in this regard because it has a sensor based image stabilization (IS) which means that all the lenses mounted to this body will be stabilized. On the other hand, Nikon D610 doesn't have this feature so you have to buy a lens with optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 106 lenses for Nikon F mount with Optical Image Stabilization features.
