Hey man , enjoy your channel but you should stop doing stuff like " You should not buy " , or " This is last video " . Its annoying and you can do better then this.
Right, it’s like the video that comes out a few times a year that’s like “nobody needs full frame” I mean of course they use all the good stuff, gear, gimbals, monster aperture, and Full Frame exclusively, and would never touch a filthy little APSC 😂 But YOU, the newbie viewer, you’re fine without any of the good stuff!
This is great advice Matti. I bought the Fuji XT3 from the video you made a few years back it still a great camera for both Stills and videos. This video resonates with me as there are so many youtube videos that say buy this new camera, and you buy it and then few months later 10 reasons why not to buy camera X,Y,Z so youtubers should encourage more people to find 10 reasons what they can do with their existing (old camera) instead of buying another new one, just because they are bored with it. Well done for this genuine video
Glad you came out with this video. I’ve been telling my friends this, and it’s the biggest reason why I try not to watch camera/film maker RUclipsrs as much anymore unless I’m for sure trying to buy a particular piece of gear and I need to research. The constant bombardment of basically “ads” the film making community has been putting out since like 2018 has been ridiculous and initially lead me to spend lots of money on things I ended up giving away to friends or selling on eBay. Now I only upgrade cameras if I can reasonably view myself making an increased amount of money using it, and only if I can sell my existing gear for a reasonable price to help recoup my cost. And I buy used now. Usually a year old product so it’s still relevant but someone else eat the gear depreciation.
What's best for you is such good advice. When I started out a couple of years ago on my RUclips journey I had been a photographer for a while and wanted to share my hikes. I bought into all these gimmicks of gear and because of a limited budget, I just wasted my money and found using and carrying all this gear around affected my enjoyment of my walks. Fast forward to today, I just use my phone on a OM 6 Gimbal with a Rode Lav mic attached to a Zoom H1n which also records ambient nature sounds. My whole system basically fits in my pockets and while not great does an adequate job of documenting my walks with minimal weight and fuss and I can get back to enjoying my hikes. So the advice you give Matti about what's best for you rings so true for me.
Years ago, my accountant told me to only buy equipment that was absolutely necessary for the job, and as late as possible if I wanted to make a living from my work... and he was absolutely right. So I think this is the most important of your advice. Light is important, but I don't need that much, if possible I always use light from windows and the like. With LED light with color adjustment, it rarely causes problems. If necessary, I can do a job with a cheap and simple old 35mm lens, but if I don't have my tripod, and very, very important, my sound equipment with me, I'm not sure the client will be happy.
this video has a deep deep meaning, thank you Matti ! i appreciate your thinkings on that. i can imagine that it must be tough sometimes when ppl buying stuff because you "hyped" it in a vid. there is so much more stuff which is important to your biz.
Loved this video. I find myself in the same situation often with cool VR technology.. just because the tech is impressive and cool doesn’t mean I want people to go out and buy it.. actually.. Well said :)
I REALLY like the big subliminal message here- there's always a newer, better product. Make sure a new product either fixes an issue you have you have or adds significant benefit over the gear you currently use. Up until this year I was still using a Sony A300 from 2009. I only switched when I needed to start filming!
Buy the gear you can afford and if you aren't a professional you even don't need fullframe. I shoot professional with m43 Gear and I really don't want to upgrade. Because I can deliver the quality that my client's want. So I don't need new gear
Hi Matti, great work as usual, true and honest advice, but - IMHO - the headline is kinda klickbait. According to the video-content it should be more like "Camera gear I don't buy in 2023". Take care...
Matti - thank you for this video! Out of all the recent drops and videos released on them, yours the realest of them all! It’s so easy to get gear envy and try and get too much too fast. But for real, thanks for putting this out. I’m not sure I’m ready for a world where there aren’t any Matti Haapoja videos haha.
Fx3 and A7siii are lacking firmware updates that are much needed. Animal eye AF and lens breathing compensation are available on lesser bodies, but not these. It’s really disappointing.
The only gear I’m interested in at all is the fuji xh2 or xh2S. As they are both giant upgrades over previous fujifilm cameras as far as autofocus goes it’s finally up there with Sony and canon.
I have friend who has like $10k+ gear and haven't posten not a single video on RUclips yet. We have gears that can help us male movies with no problem but internet is still not full of shorts and all that small format content.
I just borrowed money to buy my first full frame camera the Sony a7iv. It overheats and shuts down while shooting event video on hot sunny days. Its unusable for my daytime outdoor video work and I owe around $1000 for it.
Wow….Dude arrives back from Maui and has to push another video out. I get the pressure. But the thumbs down on the DJI RS3 Mini ? Really…..Because you already have the RS3 Pro? So that’s the reason? I just watched 5 well researched videos on the RS3 Mini - From some credible YT’ers such as @potatoJet ….All positive. And this model is in the price range I want to spend as it compliments a larger but older Crane gimbal I have for my A7R3. If every influencer panned an entry-level product which is well built and 1/3 the cost just because it’s not “top of the line” that would cause a lot of confusion. The YT algorithm brought me here I guess. But you can do (a lot) better than this Matt. Just sayin’
Wise advice buddy for the newbies, I think we've all gone through that transition that when we started without a budget, buying cameras and accessories that weren't efficient and then we were frustrated with equipments bought on credit and when we really had what we wanted we had to save to have it, I went through that with my sony fx3 that I'm still paying on credit and I've already paid it off this year, but nevertheless, 2022 was a good year for me and I was able to buy an fx6 with cash and I'm very happy to have an epic camera for myself 😊 You have been wise to let the fans know not to buy everything they see, let them know that study the possibilities and buy the expensive equipment so that later you can see the desired profits. You are my hero and humble guy Matti. Have a good weekend 🍻
this was important. especially since you are in a position of authority, this needs to be repeated. ppl need to be responsible. without that it seems like people are just pushing gear to like their pockets unfortunately
I honestly wouldn't buy any type of gear based off a recommendation from a RUclipsr. I'd have to rent it. See it, use it, you name it. And only then I'd consider buying. It really doesn't apply to everything but I hope people understand my point.
I think the big thing is experience. The more work I have the less gear obsessed I become...at least for the buzz words. Basically, I get more excited for things I know I will actually use in creating art and also generating a profit. That's why I'm torn about either keeping my Lumix S5 or trading it in for an S5 mkIIX.
Im actually buying the S5II and moving from Nikon after 10 years. I've waited for Nikon to make a camera in the £2000 range but everything they've made has just not been right.
Matti, I understand and agree where you are coming from with the content of this video, but it is titled wrong. I am a S1H shooter and I will not buy the S5II(X) because the S1H does everything I need and it is not marketed towards S1H type owners. With that said, it is clearly the best 2 to 2.5K camera for the budding filmmaker. It beats the A7IV and R6II in film making features/functionality and if you go by the overall sentiment of the S5II reviews, the PDAF hangs with both Sony and Canon's best. You are going to have people listen to the first few minutes of the video (completely ignoring the rest of it) and think the S5II is a bad camera.
f you had to choose only one camera, one lens, and one drone from the gear you own, what would be your choice? For me, it would be the Sony A7C, 24-70mm lens, and the Mavic 3 Cine :)
Invítalo a una colaboración en México! Si yo tuviera que elegir, para mi sería la a7IV, el tamron 28-75mm g2, el dji rs2 y el dji mini 2. Por cierto, creo que somos/fuimos vecinos. Saludos desde Mixcoac.
plastic junk 3 cine lol. get up on a x8 with a high end cine cam on top of the mofo or one that atleast does 8k 30 10bit . And A7R IVA or V . ball big. And prime lenses.
I think the other thing people forget is that there is rental gear. I regularly rent lenses that I know I would like for that event, but I can't afford them at the moment. Build it into your cost for business, and within no time you will have that gear, not on credit, and know how to use it because when you rent it you want to make sure you get the most out of your 3-7 day rental.
RUclips has just turned commercials into 10 minute videos haha. The worst is a lot of gear reviews are done by people who don’t actually work in video/photography professionally. Nothing against them personally but it shows quite a bit when they take test shots that are trash or they walk around their yard (this isn’t directed at Matt) They’re gear reviewers at the end of the day and they receive this stuff to push it for the companies and in turn get to make money off of making the content. It’s just getting old. It’s cool when I want to know what to buy buy I don’t see why gear reviews is the content that’s most watched. I miss entertaining content. It’s something that this industry is lacking on RUclips.
It's really starting to feel like a "goodbye" from you Matti... The way you say all of this is like you're just about to leave.😢😭 If at all, what has to happen has to happen, Please do not delete any of your videos Matti. Sending Love and Strength from India.♥
He needs to get off the platform... if you've followed him since his early days I feel like he's finally burnt out or just is not passionate about the filmmaking process on YT anymore. And it makes sense because if you have to film videos every single day and constantly come up with new ideas (recycled ideas from other YTubers or even his own old videos), you'd get burnt out too. His B Roll has been slacking it too so I just feel like this man is finally ready to turn in the towel and if he's finds peace in it, why should we oppose it! He'll be happier.
I got linked to this video by a friend and it reminds me about why I unsubscribed over a year or two ago. Clickbait titles leaving you conned or unsatisfied a few minutes in. You're hardly reviewing anything because your reasoning for not liking x thing is because you already have expensive gear 🙄
I connected with what you said about buying expensive gear and feeling rushed to pay it off. I am in it right now. TAKE HIS ADVICE, often increase in quality is nice but if you already have an interchangeable lens camera that takes pictures and you have a 50 f1.8 that's all you need for a looooooong time. Remember that I am currently paying credit card debt as a college student and its not fun. Plus financial aid is low for me this semester so I don't even know how I will pay my rent but if I haden't made that purchase I could have been assured that I can pay my rent with my credit card. SO please please please DONT get into debt trying to purchase new gear. ALso better to purchase something with cash then with credit because you are relieved once that transaction happens because its not messing up your credit.
Purchased in 2017 What my Gh5 ( with Latest Af Update) can do . Sony a7/4 + Canon R6/2 both can not do in 2023. Successfully using from vlogs to weddings to Amazon product shoots. Yesterday 4 cameras were shooting an Indian wedding video all mounted on tripods. Sony a7/4, CanonR, CanonR6/2, Nikon z7. My assistant who is not from photography background commented why Panasonic GH5 colors look better compared to all( He was judging from built in 3inch monitors).
It seems that You want to leave RUclips but destroying all other RUclips Jobs as reviewers! I Liked many of your videos BUT it is not good that NOW that you say you will leave RUclips, and that you made money Recommending Tech al these years, NOW you say to us that dont buy almost Nothing people recommend, talking about the embargo and dates your are obligated to post and like if that was bad. It is better to say that you now dont need the RUclipsr tech reviewer Job, and that you wont do it no more because you dont need it. Because if you felt sorry for what you recommended at the past, maybe you should compénsate those people and maybe return all the benefits you got from you tech reviewer work. No Hate, just i got dissapointed for this.
I'm thinking about getting a first camera. I used to have a sony DSLR but I didn't really like it that much, because my kit lens was only f3.5 - f5.6 so most my photos were blurry. I sold it eventually because my smartphone started to take better pictures. Now I'm getting back into photography and feel that iPhone is not enough. I would love to get a full frame Sony mirrorless like A7C or A7 iii but after watching your video I realise that I should probably stick to a ZV-E10 or a6400 because even if I buy a lens with them, they will still be cheaper then full frame cameras. Maybe I just got jealous because my friend got himself a full frame Canon EOS R and he isn't even interested in photography. 😭
Gear doesn't matter much if you are posting on social media. There are some cases when even a phone can make a better picture then a camera and we wouldn't notice. Just stick with your gear and take the most out of it.
Honestly look into the older generation canon cameras. Those sensors (aka the original 5D) are absolutely incredible with their colors and you get full frame. Obviously has its limitations in low light but you can work around them when you learn the camera and gain experience. I still was getting paid for shoots on that camera a month ago.
I bought ZV E-10 lately and it overheats in 4K after 25 minutes. Catalyst Browse also corrupts longer files (I haven't found the reason yet). This camera is the best value imo but, infortunately, if has its flaws. Take this into account before you buy one.
This video is a few years late haha can’t imagine how many creators spent their savings on gear you touted as the best, only for you to switch systems entirely a few months later 😅
I’ve always followed the rule spend less on a camera and more on good glass. It’s 2023 and I still use a Canon 5D , Olympus EM10 mark ii and of course my iPhone.
Respect! I just love your honesty. Most people buy new gear because content creators promote it (after receiving it for free from the manufacturer). I wanted to buy a new camera, but now I realize that I do not need it, and it will not bring in any money...
I personally sit down regularly and evaluate my creative process, write down the biggest pain points and find solutions that could help alleviate those. Last year I invested in upgrading my computer vs. buying a new lens and I can say that while not as flashy, it was a much better use of my budget.
For 99.9% of people, and even most RUclipsrs, an iPhone 14 pro with a moment mount and a gimbal is literally all people need for vlogging, can also use some moment lenses for dramatic effect. But now that they have ois they’re literally some of the best vlogging tools money can buy.
I can’t believe I’m backing Canon here, but I used the R5 with the EF adapter, and I agree, the built in ND filter is hugely underrated, and worth using older lenses just for it.
I really love the transparency here, I currently use the fujifilm X-T30 (stills only) and the fujifilm X-T4 (vids + stills) but my investments this year will be an action cam like the gopro or the dji action plus a better tripod.
Wow, this is really refreshing and impressive to hear. Not many RUclips creators have the courage to say budget first and don’t spring on the brand new products. Everyone on RUclips these days is saying buy this buy that, but this is a breath of fresh air.
I bought my Panasonic S5ii with the 20-60 kit lens and a spare battery for £1700 new off Amazon. That was the bargain of the century as far as I was concerned. I already had a 2000 nit monitor and a bunch of batteries. The monitor is only £200 new though. I got a second hand Manfrotto tripod for £100 and a great Pan/Tilt head for £250. I reckon my whole set-up cost no more than £2500
So glad someone finally shared their honest opinion on all the gear videos. RUclips has such a habit of overhyping new gear while all you really need is a phone these days.
Not everyone creates videos to get paid. For me its gear that I enjoy using without breaking the bank. I'm sure for many its just an expensive hobby. Its been my hobby since year 2000 starting with the Canon D30 3 mpix for photos and still buying new gear every year because I enjoy gear and what new things it brings for me to learn and enjoy. Currently just learning how to take advantage of editing with RAW videos. Also played with Sony gear for about a year just to enjoy what other manufacturers are doing. Do what you love so you can love what you do.
Start with a Reflex Canon after digital video appearance got the T2i while dreaming of 5D mk2, couple months after got the 5DmkII finally years and years as passed... Sony A7S release got it and changed the game in my nightlife club filming and wedding reception filming... 5Dmk2 got dusted and sold... A7S2 release, switched ...and the long long waited A7S3 and got the mega upgrade to it... since never look back and today ... mostly shoot with my phone NOTE20ultra 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 ohh and Insta360 X2 changes the game when going snowboarding no more GoPro battery dead... got my self the Tilta hydra arm car mount 😅 and Tilta steady gimbal set for 2023 ... new projects ✨️
@mattih have you ever had any mic imput problems with the fx3? I know it really was an issue with the a73 and a7r3. I want to buy a Sony for the mirrorless video cameras but I’m to afraid to face any problem of that kind.🙄 Thanks
You shouldn’t feel bad about people buying stuff you use or like talking about. They should have enough sense to figure out whether or not it’s in their budget. I’ve bought stuff partly because you recommend it but it definitely was not the sole reason for making the decision. Maybe I’m an idiot for assuming more people have common sense
Just got one GH4 (that had the vlog update unlocked, and am looking for the next lens for it. I previously had a G6 that died and the Olympus 14-42mm and it's okay.... definitely can't use it for vlogging unless I put the cam on a stick. I'm expecting to use it for documentary, commercials, music videos, and possibly weddings if it comes to call. Been considering the 9mm prime.... but also been looking at the 8-18mm... ugh, deciding is the hardest part
I’m using atm a fuji xt-30 and i wanna upgrade to a full frame and I’ve been wondering which one would be a good one for photos and video and I’m deciding between a7iv and S5iiX, also cause here in uk you would pay the lumix with a 50mm and 20-60mm for 2200£. What you think i should do?
You have a channel that is popular and you are constantly flashing products in people face. They will automatically have a mentality of purchasing products. If you did not have all the products that you have then some might say hmmm I don’t need a lot of products. Lol. I need all of these products lol.
Right I have two sony cameras with bunch of lenses which cost fortune. They are awesome for professional work. But whenever go out to shoot or go for a trip, I rarely pick these cameras. They’re simply too good. I rather use my 6 years old Fujifilm X100F and I enjoy shooting it so much more. If I were to shoot only as a hobby, I wouldn’t need all these cameras and I would only have the x100f or maybe x100v. But can’t imagine shooting wedding without my sonys!
Hey, you do have a typo in your caption I believe on your list of gear, BEST VLOGGING CAMERA IN 20221?? Hahaha, could it be 2022 or 2021 or it's just be 20221.
So what camera gear are you investing in for 2023???
Laowa probe lens
Lumix S1H😅, bad AF bud absolutely stunning video!
Canon R6 Mark ii
Sony A7IV
I post a shot with my nikon z6 + 24-70s + multiple flashes: 10 links. I post a 30 second reel from my 4 1/2 year old Samsung Note 9: 10000 likes.
Hey man , enjoy your channel but you should stop doing stuff like " You should not buy " , or " This is last video " . Its annoying and you can do better then this.
Finally! Someone said it!
Right, it’s like the video that comes out a few times a year that’s like “nobody needs full frame”
I mean of course they use all the good stuff, gear, gimbals, monster aperture, and Full Frame exclusively, and would never touch a filthy little APSC 😂 But YOU, the newbie viewer, you’re fine without any of the good stuff!
clickbait get‘s worse the more popular they get. They really don‘t care about us
I also don't like the fluff he puts in his videos to make them longer than 10 mins. I guess it's more personal to some but not for me

All of my Latest videos are filmed by Sony ZV-E10. Really a cool camera for beginner film makers.
Can you please come up with an exact list of gear we shouldn't buy in 2023? 😅
Matti, which lens is being used in this video?

this was important. especially since you are in a position of authority, this needs to be repeated. ppl need to be responsible. without that it seems like people are just pushing gear to like their pockets unfortunately
So then I am NOT buying that gear because of you now lol
Bahahaha do I have to make the opposite video to balance things now lol
And now you post this after I already spent $10K in camera gear
But should I buy what the You Tubers recommend, or should I get what's best for me ? :-) I'm pulling your chain.
I honestly wouldn't buy any type of gear based off a recommendation from a RUclipsr. I'd have to rent it. See it, use it, you name it. And only then I'd consider buying. It really doesn't apply to everything but I hope people understand my point.
Maybe RUclipsrs should stop gear pimping their audience with constant review videos and make content that inspires
Something tells me you get paid to dis Panasonic 🤷♂️
I was thinking the same, that’s why he use tape on the camera
He praised the camera... just that it's not what he needs for his work.
I think the big thing is experience. The more work I have the less gear obsessed I become...at least for the buzz words.

It beats the A7IV and R6II in film making features/functionality and if you go by the overall sentiment of the S5II reviews, the PDAF hangs with both Sony and Canon's best. You are going to have people listen to the first few minutes of the video (completely ignoring the rest of it) and think the S5II is a bad camera.
f you had to choose only one camera, one lens, and one drone from the gear you own, what would be your choice? For me, it would be the Sony A7C, 24-70mm lens, and the Mavic 3 Cine :)
Invítalo a una colaboración en México!
Si yo tuviera que elegir, para mi sería la a7IV, el tamron 28-75mm g2, el dji rs2 y el dji mini 2. Por cierto, creo que somos/fuimos vecinos.
Saludos desde Mixcoac.
@@sebidoo Uff seria un honor traerlo. Muy buena elección la tuya. Saludos.
plastic junk 3 cine lol. get up on a x8 with a high end cine cam on top of the mofo or one that atleast does 8k 30 10bit . And A7R IVA or V . ball big. And prime lenses.
I think the other thing people forget is that there is rental gear. I regularly rent lenses that I know I would like for that event, but I can't afford them at the moment. Build it into your cost for business, and within no time you will have that gear, not on credit, and know how to use it because when you rent it you want to make sure you get the most out of your 3-7 day rental.
I'm still rocking my GH5. I want a new camera, but it's still good enough for me, so I'll wait for something better.
RUclips has just turned commercials into 10 minute videos haha. The worst is a lot of gear reviews are done by people who don’t actually work in video/photography professionally. Nothing against them personally but it shows quite a bit when they take test shots that are trash or they walk around their yard (this isn’t directed at Matt) They’re gear reviewers at the end of the day and they receive this stuff to push it for the companies and in turn get to make money off of making the content. It’s just getting old. It’s cool when I want to know what to buy buy I don’t see why gear reviews is the content that’s most watched. I miss entertaining content. It’s something that this industry is lacking on RUclips.
as a former gear addict my advice is as follows. Use your phone.. prioritize audio. that's it.
The honesty is so much appreciated
It's really starting to feel like a "goodbye" from you Matti...
The way you say all of this is like you're just about to leave.😢😭
If at all, what has to happen has to happen, Please do not delete any of your videos Matti.
Sending Love and Strength from India.♥
He needs to get off the platform... if you've followed him since his early days I feel like he's finally burnt out or just is not passionate about the filmmaking process on YT anymore. And it makes sense because if you have to film videos every single day and constantly come up with new ideas (recycled ideas from other YTubers or even his own old videos), you'd get burnt out too. His B Roll has been slacking it too so I just feel like this man is finally ready to turn in the towel and if he's finds peace in it, why should we oppose it! He'll be happier.
I got linked to this video by a friend and it reminds me about why I unsubscribed over a year or two ago. Clickbait titles leaving you conned or unsatisfied a few minutes in. You're hardly reviewing anything because your reasoning for not liking x thing is because you already have expensive gear 🙄
Don't buy this, Don't buy that.........Someones burnt out
Buy what your budget allows and get to work making videos and photography
I connected with what you said about buying expensive gear and feeling rushed to pay it off. I am in it right now. TAKE HIS ADVICE, often increase in quality is nice but if you already have an interchangeable lens camera that takes pictures and you have a 50 f1.8 that's all you need for a looooooong time. Remember that I am currently paying credit card debt as a college student and its not fun. Plus financial aid is low for me this semester so I don't even know how I will pay my rent but if I haden't made that purchase I could have been assured that I can pay my rent with my credit card. SO please please please DONT get into debt trying to purchase new gear. ALso better to purchase something with cash then with credit because you are relieved once that transaction happens because its not messing up your credit.
Purchased in 2017 What my Gh5 ( with Latest Af Update) can do .
Sony a7/4 + Canon R6/2 both can not do in 2023.
Successfully using from vlogs to weddings to Amazon product shoots.
Yesterday 4 cameras were shooting an Indian wedding video all mounted on tripods.
Sony a7/4, CanonR, CanonR6/2, Nikon z7.
My assistant who is not from photography background commented why Panasonic GH5 colors look better compared to all( He was judging from built in 3inch monitors).
Thanks for this message, I think we all know this but some people are a little bit impulsive too much hahaha #capitalism
It seems that You want to leave RUclips but destroying all other RUclips Jobs as reviewers! I Liked many of your videos BUT it is not good that NOW that you say you will leave RUclips, and that you made money Recommending Tech al these years, NOW you say to us that dont buy almost Nothing people recommend, talking about the embargo and dates your are obligated to post and like if that was bad. It is better to say that you now dont need the RUclipsr tech reviewer Job, and that you wont do it no more because you dont need it. Because if you felt sorry for what you recommended at the past, maybe you should compénsate those people and maybe return all the benefits you got from you tech reviewer work. No Hate, just i got dissapointed for this.
This wasn’t really a “don’t buy” video.. this was more of a fleX.. 😭🤣
This dude doesn't recommend buying the Lumix S5 II because Panasonic didn't invite him to Japan with the other RUclipsrs 😃😃😃
I'm thinking about getting a first camera. I used to have a sony DSLR but I didn't really like it that much, because my kit lens was only f3.5 - f5.6 so most my photos were blurry. I sold it eventually because my smartphone started to take better pictures. Now I'm getting back into photography and feel that iPhone is not enough. I would love to get a full frame Sony mirrorless like A7C or A7 iii but after watching your video I realise that I should probably stick to a ZV-E10 or a6400 because even if I buy a lens with them, they will still be cheaper then full frame cameras. Maybe I just got jealous because my friend got himself a full frame Canon EOS R and he isn't even interested in photography. 😭
Gear doesn't matter much if you are posting on social media. There are some cases when even a phone can make a better picture then a camera and we wouldn't notice. Just stick with your gear and take the most out of it.
Honestly look into the older generation canon cameras. Those sensors (aka the original 5D) are absolutely incredible with their colors and you get full frame. Obviously has its limitations in low light but you can work around them when you learn the camera and gain experience. I still was getting paid for shoots on that camera a month ago.
I bought ZV E-10 lately and it overheats in 4K after 25 minutes. Catalyst Browse also corrupts longer files (I haven't found the reason yet). This camera is the best value imo but, infortunately, if has its flaws. Take this into account before you buy one.
He copies Peter McKinnon, who is a major repeat offenders of these clickbait titles…
So he probably wont stop until Peter stops smh
Stop buying the stuff I 'reviewed' and told you to buy 3 weeks ago...
🙄
If I were to buy any camera, I would want the xh2s
So many people want it! Curious if the hype is for real or just hype
@@mattih when has Fuji been just hype ?
FX3 with internal NDs 👍
Don't buy a Nikon, maybe. I think Nikon will go out of business in a few years
I am completely happy with my old Sony A7S mark One and with Sony 6400. Two or maybe three years I will no need any new camera.
This video is a few years late haha can’t imagine how many creators spent their savings on gear you touted as the best, only for you to switch systems entirely a few months later 😅
First view🫶
I’ve always followed the rule spend less on a camera and more on good glass. It’s 2023 and I still use a Canon 5D , Olympus EM10 mark ii and of course my iPhone.
Respect! I just love your honesty. Most people buy new gear because content creators promote it (after receiving it for free from the manufacturer). I wanted to buy a new camera, but now I realize that I do not need it, and it will not bring in any money...
I bought a DJI RS 2 and only used it a couple of times in 2 years, it's new
I will NEVER BUY an apple phone. Sorry.
I personally sit down regularly and evaluate my creative process, write down the biggest pain points and find solutions that could help alleviate those. Last year I invested in upgrading my computer vs. buying a new lens and I can say that while not as flashy, it was a much better use of my budget.
i will also not be buying these gear items.
but these are all the things YOU don't need..?
For 99.9% of people, and even most RUclipsrs, an iPhone 14 pro with a moment mount and a gimbal is literally all people need for vlogging, can also use some moment lenses for dramatic effect. But now that they have ois they’re literally some of the best vlogging tools money can buy.
I can’t believe I’m backing Canon here, but I used the R5 with the EF adapter, and I agree, the built in ND filter is hugely underrated, and worth using older lenses just for it.
I'm thinking of investing into my first 'cinema' camera aka the FX6
Ooh those have been hot! For good reason too I think
I really love the transparency here, I currently use the fujifilm X-T30 (stills only) and the fujifilm X-T4 (vids + stills) but my investments this year will be an action cam like the gopro or the dji action plus a better tripod.
Wow, this is really refreshing and impressive to hear. Not many RUclips creators have the courage to say budget first and don’t spring on the brand new products. Everyone on RUclips these days is saying buy this buy that, but this is a breath of fresh air.
Yea I think that’s the way it comes across but I’m pretty sure most of us think this same way. Thanks man 🙏🏻 😊
no one mentions that Matti was in yesterdays Apple event intro??
That was crazy right???
I am getting awards in film festivals with a project I shot on a Canon 80D with a kit lens. It's not the camera, it's the passion.
This was so wholesome and genuine. This video will do a lot of people good, including me 😂
Why You holding S5? It’s a grate camera.
Umm watch the video I guess? I also think it’s a great camera
I bought my Panasonic S5ii with the 20-60 kit lens and a spare battery for £1700 new off Amazon. That was the bargain of the century as far as I was concerned. I already had a 2000 nit monitor and a bunch of batteries. The monitor is only £200 new though. I got a second hand Manfrotto tripod for £100 and a great Pan/Tilt head for £250. I reckon my whole set-up cost no more than £2500
So glad someone finally shared their honest opinion on all the gear videos. RUclips has such a habit of overhyping new gear while all you really need is a phone these days.
Not everyone creates videos to get paid. For me its gear that I enjoy using without breaking the bank. I'm sure for many its just an expensive hobby. Its been my hobby since year 2000 starting with the Canon D30 3 mpix for photos and still buying new gear every year because I enjoy gear and what new things it brings for me to learn and enjoy. Currently just learning how to take advantage of editing with RAW videos. Also played with Sony gear for about a year just to enjoy what other manufacturers are doing. Do what you love so you can love what you do.
Yes, you need to buy the best gear FOR YOUR REAL NEEDS (not wishes), according to your budget.
Start with a Reflex Canon after digital video appearance got the T2i while dreaming of 5D mk2, couple months after got the 5DmkII finally years and years as passed... Sony A7S release got it and changed the game in my nightlife club filming and wedding reception filming... 5Dmk2 got dusted and sold... A7S2 release, switched ...and the long long waited A7S3 and got the mega upgrade to it... since never look back and today ... mostly shoot with my phone NOTE20ultra 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 ohh and Insta360 X2 changes the game when going snowboarding no more GoPro battery dead... got my self the Tilta hydra arm car mount 😅 and Tilta steady gimbal set for 2023 ... new projects ✨️
I don't like your clickbait title.
@mattih have you ever had any mic imput problems with the fx3? I know it really was an issue with the a73 and a7r3. I want to buy a Sony for the mirrorless video cameras but I’m to afraid to face any problem of that kind.🙄
Thanks
More drones.. got the Mini 3 Pro, love making content with it.
Ugh I want more fpv drones to come out asap hahah
You shouldn’t feel bad about people buying stuff you use or like talking about. They should have enough sense to figure out whether or not it’s in their budget. I’ve bought stuff partly because you recommend it but it definitely was not the sole reason for making the decision. Maybe I’m an idiot for assuming more people have common sense
I still have and use the Panasonic GH4. Just a great camera. Just bought a 9mm lense.
Just got one GH4 (that had the vlog update unlocked, and am looking for the next lens for it. I previously had a G6 that died and the Olympus 14-42mm and it's okay.... definitely can't use it for vlogging unless I put the cam on a stick. I'm expecting to use it for documentary, commercials, music videos, and possibly weddings if it comes to call.
Been considering the 9mm prime.... but also been looking at the 8-18mm... ugh, deciding is the hardest part
Really impressed with it so far though. Seems like a better system than my Canon T7. But I primarily use the T7 for photos and the Panasonic for video
I’m using atm a fuji xt-30 and i wanna upgrade to a full frame and I’ve been wondering which one would be a good one for photos and video and I’m deciding between a7iv and S5iiX, also cause here in uk you would pay the lumix with a 50mm and 20-60mm for 2200£. What you think i should do?
First
oh you beast haha how did you do that???
You have a channel that is popular and you are constantly flashing products in people face. They will automatically have a mentality of purchasing products. If you did not have all the products that you have then some might say hmmm I don’t need a lot of products. Lol. I need all of these products lol.
Right I have two sony cameras with bunch of lenses which cost fortune. They are awesome for professional work. But whenever go out to shoot or go for a trip, I rarely pick these cameras. They’re simply too good. I rather use my 6 years old Fujifilm X100F and I enjoy shooting it so much more. If I were to shoot only as a hobby, I wouldn’t need all these cameras and I would only have the x100f or maybe x100v. But can’t imagine shooting wedding without my sonys!
You know you're a gearhead when you complain about 1 stop being so much worse than it actually is 🤣...SAME
Love this approach to a gear video. So many folks buy gear they don't need.
Hey, you do have a typo in your caption I believe on your list of gear, BEST VLOGGING CAMERA IN 20221?? Hahaha, could it be 2022 or 2021 or it's just be 20221.
