Maybe you can help me. I need to update my lens firmware for the Samsung NX1's compatible lenses, but the only supposedly reliable source I have come across has broken links. i-Launcher has not been available for years... I bought it last year. ...maybe I should have invested in a Sony ZV-E10... How does the Sony ZV-E10 in-body video stabilization compare to other camera's video stabilization?

I really like when you and Markus Pix remind me that I can have fun with the gear I have. It may not be the best, but I’m still grateful to have anything.
I went from a 5dmarkiii to a sony a6300 and now FX3. What's annoying with Sony is they announce a new camera months apart with near similar features e.g., A7siii >FX3 and Sony a6300 >a6500.
I've tried to abide by his advice. I started with a Canon SX20 (2009), went to SX40 (2011), then Nikon P900 (2015) and am now waiting on the Sony RX10 V.
So true, another thing I've realized while researching different cameras is there always going to a million videos about that camera and why the various creators love it so much, and your feed will populate those videos, reminding you to buy the damn camera. But, after purchasing the X100V due to that reason, thinking it was the ultimate camera, I now know that every camera has it's fan base and RUclipsrs will always make content on anything they can and why any camera is the best thing ever. I almost bought an XT1 and trade my A6000, but I'm glad I didn't. Just bought a couple used
You know whats funny... There are still endless people crying (or are they bots?!) how hard it is to get this and that camera or lens and that you have to wait for 6-10 months for arrival and whatever. And meanwhile... i see these cameras and lenses everywhere aviable, new, 2nd hand, from china, from usa.... Im not sure, but i think its part of the modern economy to tell the people: Get it before price rise, get it before supply chain isnt working is intended, get it NOW because otherwise you dont get it at all,.... damn capitalism! R7 for example... everyone said they dont get it, they need to wait for months,.... and its even true here in eastern austria. But if i drive a few hours to moldavia (or even ukraine!), its about 40% cheaper (!!!!!!) and aviable EVERYWHERE!
Good message: I was falling in the trap and I realized that, the reason I was spending money on new shiny things was to give myself some treat, but it was lasting less and less and I was craving more and more. I started watching back what I had shot, and I realized there was no appreciable difference. Find something to shoot and forget about the gear: Cartier Bresson had a Leica, not because it looked cool and trendy, but because it was small (for the standards of the time) and cheap, and it made him less conspicuous. He knew that camera well and he sticked to that. I watch at all the Hipster and wannabe "Pro" lugging around 15K (whatever currency) and 1.5kg of brass like a yoke around the neck to look cool and I shake my head. They use it to shoot Kittens on instagram, out of focus most of the times. I guess Today Cartier Bresson would be using a Ricoh GR and be fine with it.
Don't upgrade until you fully learn how to use your current one to it's fullest extent. That's how I've kept the same camera for over 2 years so far. My craft needs more work than my camera needs upgrading.
Just got an A7r II and honestly idk why people say smartphones are killing professional cameras, you can do a lot of the same stuff with an IPhone 13 but half of the effects are fake, while everything is real with the camera.
I have been so very very slow and deliberate in my upgrade process. I began my journey in 2010 with a Panasonic GF-1, then I didn't upgrade until Jan 2019 to an Nikon D3400. I am now ready to move back to mirrorless, but full frame. There are many many decisions to be made. It'll probably take me another year to decide.
The irony of this video is that I haven't watched your channel for ages because I spent too much time obsessing over what gear to upgrade to and then got sick of thinking about it, so I just stopped watching all gear review videos. I came back to this one not for the advice, but for the humour, but in a second twist of irony, your advice is actually really good! See you in a couple of years I guess. 😄
Good point to the upgrades after a few generations. Fortunately the transition from DSLR to Mirrorless is still evolving. Mirrorless brings a great video upgrade with manufacturers trying out do each other. I'm looking forward to upgrading from Nikons D850 to Z8 and have two amazing full frames. Though to make content such as yours I may have to see what the Z6iii offers. I can't afford to change brands so just go with what I have. Also I'm wearing the Tonah shirt.
I went from a Lumix GX85 to a Lumix S5 and I still use them both for video. I was using a Samsung NX3000 before that, all with vintage lenses. The Samsung was great for learning with manual lenses, the GX85 was great for recording videos and I still use it for that IBIS, hoo boy I love it. The S5 is my first camera with a mic input and I'm using it to help film documentary stuff for my friend. It's a night and day difference from all of them, but those NX3000 files are still beautiful
The Fujifilm X-T5 is the next camera I want.... the 40MP is a useful upgrade over the X-T3s especially when it comes to printing... but for Video... do i need more than 4K 60p.. do i care about ibis when i use a gimbal with the X-T3... Luckily I can't afford the (unreleased) X-T5 the £50 i spent on some LED lights with soft boxes is much more useful for me right now, always need more lights :)
The gh4 was so good that there still isn't much competition for it. 10bit, native sdi, full size xlr... it had everything for the working pro. The ultimate b-cam. What's its current competition? The ursas do well, otherwise, there's not a lot in the budget space. So, yea, still using that gh4 and so many productions are as well.
@Camera Conspiracies thanks to you Kasey I upgraded from my trusty Sony ZV-1, to the A7iv. It's my first full frame and I'm so stoked with it. Got the Sony 20mm f1.8 first, then a 2nd hand 85mm f1.8. Feels like I'm set for life with this setup. With the 1.5 x crop it's like owning 4 lenses. Thanks for talking me out of upgrading/downgrading to the A7C. That would have sucked so bad lol... PS. Please could you recommend the next lens to save up for hahaha. I'm leaning 135mm f1.8, but man would I love a 200-600mm
The upgrade doesn't need to be substantial to be worth it. If the upgrade lets you optimize your workflow, then you're going to be making more money per hour. Also, if you upgrade frequently then you can sell the old gear at a good price, so the upgrade isn't that costly, but if you wait too long, then your old camera is worth nothing.
But most upgrades won't bring you more return of investment and along the way from upgrade to upgrade you lose more money accumulated in comparison with one single substantial upgrade
This is only true if you are pushing the current gear to its limits and if you are swamped in work to make all the extra money from the time you are supposedly going to save.
Only if you see photography as a job and earn good money with! If its just a hobby, you CAN NOT UPGRADE THAT MUCH/OFTEN! We should also see a difference between upgrading the camera (= replacing an older camera with a newer model) or upgrading the gear with an additional camera. I just tried to replace the EOS RP with a EOS R6 (for wildlife). Thank god i didnt sell the RP because i absolutely could not handle the R6.... too big, heavy. Yeah a great camera, but i really could not "live" with it when used for daily, family and travel stuff, plus selling the RP would have been needed to compensate for the high price. Instead, i sold the R6 within the same week i bought it for a good price and got the R7 as COMPLEMENTARY camera to the RP. RP does everything great and partially better than the R7, while the R7 is a far superior wildlife and video/hybrid camera!
I guess my upgrade from a Canon 50D i bought in 2008 to a Panasonic G9 a couple of months ago was worth it. Im mostly a stills shooter but youre right, im a video shooter at heart since I upgraded... I'm assuming that's more than leaps and bounds, more like a time warp....lol. The video on the Pana just blew me away!!! BTW, Great video again. Ps. Take care that 3D pop with the Canon lenses dont pop you bank account to hard....🤣
For the still photographer have there been any upgrades worth having recently. If anything stacked sensors have reduced performance for the sake of read speed. The review scene is now the domain of videographers and I am sure most of us can just stick with our old stuff and ignore what goes on in the new releases. An upgrade involves funding a mass of video research and implementation of it in the new camera which seems more to satisfy the reviewer than the user.
@@CharlezRichard Again the emphasis on video and disc space in the cloud still costs money for backup and the camera is out of my budget, the lenses to resolve 40mp way out of my budget and I find even 16mp enough really. The camera industry is walking away from the hobbyist and in body stabilisation in anything larger than m43 expensive. In a way great to be of of this upgrade tread mill with the camera makers desperate for margin and ramping specs for stuff I would think few need. The new releases all seem for professional budgets and users so great if you need it and not knocking it. Nice to be off the upgrade path and plenty of good stuff around. Sold my last Fuji and not really missing it with an EM10 II and E-PL10 doing fine. Just a personal opinion and not trying to preach format or make. I have bought a secondhand Panasonic 14-45mm which is a design going back to the start of m43 for a song and it works fine. I think the term upgrade seems to be bandied around for any new model and at the affordable end more likely to be a downgrade if anything. Look at how Fuji have stripped down the XE's over time. Still a nice camera but there is cost saving and component shortages in the mix I am sure.
@@michaeld5888 Larger photos don't bother me... But video? Yes it does absolutely, even at 4k 100 Mbps. I print big regularly and I really love dem pixels.
Yeah. I just got A7IV few monts ago, and I cannot see I need anything better. For serious video work I'll get FX6, because of ND filters, but for photos and YT, A7IV will be my work horse till it dies.
Sure.. wait for the better one. And also until the firmware is finished, which takes even 2 years in some cases :D I had Pentax K10D ordered and delivery to shop too long that in the meantime K20D was introduced. Then I skipped K7 as it basically had same sensor and bought K5 which was a big step forward and stayed with me for 10 years... and 2 years ago I've added K3 with latest firmware which turns it into different camera than the one introduced years ago..
Agreed. I went from the a7ii to a7iii and it was noticeably better. However, I've refrained from upgrading the at the a7iv. I'm holding out for something truly better (I'm a stills shooter)
Yep, I totally agree. I do the same with computer builds. Wait until there will be a noticeable difference. I was also laughing when you mentioned the 60D. I just upgraded for the first time to another Canon and what a difference. The 60D didn't have auto focus on the video side. You had to re-focus every shot. Love your delivery. I'm an older version of you. Thanks for sharing.
these cameras had also for a good reason no AF. many of these older lenses wobbled hard when AF was used, this renders video with AF used on many of the older lenses useless. In manual focus none of them wobbled at all.
Once again you hit it out the ballpark and made me LOL in the process! In my arsenal I own one of each heavy hitter, Canon R, A7S3, GH5 and recently picked up the OM1. IMO I'm done there hasn't been a camera out there I would give up any of what I own now.
The G85 was really the best match camera for me and probably for most people. I up to the G9 for the 10bit video but regret it cause of the size of that camera. I realized most people use 8 bit panels or watch content on their tiny smart phone scenes so if you aren't color grading nerd, it really doesn't matter.
I have g85, I’m constantly tempted to upgrade but I’m broke… but also the camera is great, I would get much better improvements with a new longer lens or better lighting. Why don’t you sell the G9 and “downgrade” again?
@@JimiCanRead I sold it to get em5 mark III, nice compact camera but no 10 bit video. Lumix gui is much better than Olympus though but Olympus has phase detect
Person walking dog far behind you on the path thinks, "Hmmm -- who is this guy up ahead talking animatedly to his camera? Happy-go-lucky camera vlogger? Or Canadian crazy?" And then they turn around and walk the other way....
Where do i get the "clips" or whatever that is on your backpack straps? That looks too interesting with the RF 800 F11 for hiking and i didnt found it yet
@@cameraconspiracies big thanks! It renders the handle on the RF 800 now useless since in shooting position its camera heavy and i dont want the camera to punch my face on a regular base lol But mounting the camera on the clip works also great, so much better solution than any strap. At best im using a small wrist strap with smaller/lighter lenses which can also act with one turn around wrist like binding the camera grip with your hand, but it just works with light and not front heavy lenses (for example at a live concert for easy holding the camera one handed as high as possible)
Casey, Thanks for the great information & hilarious sarcasm. I was thinking of upgrading from the XT2 to the XH2R. Do you think that's a reasonable upgrade? Or should I wait another 10 years..lol
Have I told you lately that I love you? Because this video is amazing! When the time comes I’m going to ask my first born son to name his first born after you. Whatever your name is… “Camera Conspiracies Homie” Johnson is a consolation name.
5 years ago i bought my first camera - sony a6000. it is still my one and only somewhat close to camera kinda device. shuttercount +300k. everything is broken and clonky but its still just barely working. i think my upgrade finger is itching finally.
You can't and you probably never will: it is a physics problem as the wide angle lenses are distorting the image and software compensate for that. As the image is not planar, the IBIS compensate well for up, down, left right and barrel roll, but when it compensate for pan left and right, the image wobble because you are moving a spherically deformed image in your sensor. The wider the lens, the more pronounced the wobble at the corners, while the centre is usually fine. M43 suffers more if that because the focal length has to be shorter then on larger sensors. Ideally a Fuji medium sensor would be the less affected camera format (Hass and Ph1 di not make videos and do not have IBIS). It would require extensive AI processing to eliminate that and a very well made lens which perfectly couples with the camera body, ideally a non interchangeable lens one. That is why post processing on Sony makes the stabilization better then it does in camera.
I'm using the a6400 right now and primarily use it for video use. I really want to upgrade to a full frame a7 IV instead of getting other lenses for APS-C.
Lol 😂 thats true, I feel that way, I have toe sony A7c and wanted to get an apc c camara but I couldn’t find nothing really convincing. I upgraded GP 8 to the GP9. That was a big regret.
I’m kind of old school since I come from actual motion picture film (16mm and Super 8) and standard def digital video. I like buying older cameras because they are better than what I had to use back in the day, plus they are extremely affordable! Instead of paying $2,000+ for the latest and greatest, I’d rather invest $500 for an older camera that has a great image over a ton modern features.
If the gear outpaces creativity level, then it's definitely a loss of money. But also there's a very very slight chance that acquiring better gear can motivate you to do more. Like signing for a gym membership could make you go there and exercise once a week... Potentially.
Hey Kasey, I upgraded from an a6300 to an s5ii. Relative to what I had, panyboy features are huge gains. But I find myself in the same predicament I was in with dying apsc ecosystems, lumix current lens lineup and roadmap bore me to death. My question is are there any fun gadgets to get me by til they decide to produce more lenses? Maybe anamorphic adapters or some third party cinema lenses to keep things interesting?
Okay I'll wait 5 generations to upgrade my Fuji to something that can actually track faces. Meanwhile, by then, Sony cameras will be able to track cancer cells in the human body and warn me to get my prostate checked
If you became a photographer your stress level would be so much lower! LOL! I do think the wig(s) should make a comeback soon. Maybe the three dancing girls from your intro could pose for a shoot some day. Keep rockin' Kasey....
Fro said that he found rf glass to have 3d like quality when he switched to canon for his photography. I’m currently in the process of downgrading all my gear because for my needs my Sony ax33 and my iPhone have me in video. I work at a camera store now so if I want to try something I just take it home for the night. For Photography I’m going to see what cheapest camera has good enough auto focus and buy some cheap primes.
I know my iPhone puts me in the loser cabinet but it works and is fun. I live vicariously through your channel and the money saved on expensive glass can go to CC t-shirts.
Oh my goodness! You may have a future in Hollywood.. acting! I'm not kidding 😉 You know what, I'm not interested in video shooting, I'm one of those losers photographers 😂 I watch your videos because of your performance.. and of course there many useful information and thoughts. Greetings ✌️
I upgraded from Nikon D7500 to Z6ii, excellent choice, great for portraits and everything. But not good for subject tracking. Rely on single point or dynamic autofocus for Bird photography. I sold my D7500, but now feel like buying D850, only for its 45 MPs Sensor with 200-500mm.
My advice get a used Z7. I did much better option than the D850, unless you have a big investment in F Mount glass. The Z7 us the most under rated camera out there. I love the images it makes.
@@magicalwishlist6616 Z6ii with 200-500mm doesn't feel like much reliable, Z7 may not be good either. What I have heard and seen other d500/D850 shooters say 200-500 works great for DSLRs like D500 and D850. And since D850 has 45MPs sensor I have a huge cropping options in addition to better Focus.
What video switcher do you use to record those board meetings switching between multiple cameras? Will look forward to testing my new 2nd hand canon 1.4 35mm lens with eos r since you say it may have 3d pop
The new and upcoming Fujifilm X-T5 will be announced this year, 2022. My thoughts are that it will be released Feb. 2023. Will have 40mp sensor, no battery grip capability, will shoot 8k30fps video. Also, new lenses are on the way, XF56mm Ver.2, and more.I will stick with Fujifilm. It will not be announced on September 8th, it will be announced later this year.

I watch at all the Hipster and wannabe "Pro" lugging around 15K (whatever currency) and 1.5kg of brass like a yoke around the neck to look cool and I shake my head. They use it to shoot Kittens on instagram, out of focus most of the times.
I guess Today Cartier Bresson would be using a Ricoh GR and be fine with it.
As a drunk hobo XD I upgraded from no camera to Sony A7IV... technically its not an upgrade :D it's my first grade.
Pro move
rich start brother :)
Looking forward to the EOS R videos, Kasey, and what you can get out of the camera and various lenses - cheers
You and Markus need to colab on a full length movie. Love both of you guys.
Just gone from a GH3 to an EOS R. The difference is mind-blowing
upgraded from omd 5 mark ii to omd 1 mark iii WOW that was a huge upgrade. not convinced that the OM1 is as huge improvement as they say.
Haven’t bought a camera since 2006 when I got myself a Canon 30D… so yea, I’m ready for an upgrade…
Love the Cicada background singers....
Don't upgrade until you fully learn how to use your current one to it's fullest extent.
That's how I've kept the same camera for over 2 years so far. My craft needs more work than my camera needs upgrading.
Just got an A7r II and honestly idk why people say smartphones are killing professional cameras, you can do a lot of the same stuff with an IPhone 13 but half of the effects are fake, while everything is real with the camera.
Best camera channel thumbnail ever
No reason for you to even explain, you provide a service for us all and I’m greatful you have been given those cameras
I have been so very very slow and deliberate in my upgrade process. I began my journey in 2010 with a Panasonic GF-1, then I didn't upgrade until Jan 2019 to an Nikon D3400. I am now ready to move back to mirrorless, but full frame. There are many many decisions to be made. It'll probably take me another year to decide.
I should include that before 2010 I shot on Kodak and Fuji 35mm film cameras. I' not young so, yeah. lol
I upgraded from Nikon 5100 and 35 1.8 to Nikon Z5 and 50 1.8 .No need to buy Z6 or Z7 and I'm very happy with my chose .
The irony of this video is that I haven't watched your channel for ages because I spent too much time obsessing over what gear to upgrade to and then got sick of thinking about it, so I just stopped watching all gear review videos. I came back to this one not for the advice, but for the humour, but in a second twist of irony, your advice is actually really good! See you in a couple of years I guess. 😄
Good point to the upgrades after a few generations. Fortunately the transition from DSLR to Mirrorless is still evolving. Mirrorless brings a great video upgrade with manufacturers trying out do each other. I'm looking forward to upgrading from Nikons D850 to Z8 and have two amazing full frames. Though to make content such as yours I may have to see what the Z6iii offers. I can't afford to change brands so just go with what I have. Also I'm wearing the Tonah shirt.
I went from a Lumix GX85 to a Lumix S5 and I still use them both for video. I was using a Samsung NX3000 before that, all with vintage lenses. The Samsung was great for learning with manual lenses, the GX85 was great for recording videos and I still use it for that IBIS, hoo boy I love it. The S5 is my first camera with a mic input and I'm using it to help film documentary stuff for my friend. It's a night and day difference from all of them, but those NX3000 files are still beautiful
The Fujifilm X-T5 is the next camera I want.... the 40MP is a useful upgrade over the X-T3s especially when it comes to printing... but for Video... do i need more than 4K 60p.. do i care about ibis when i use a gimbal with the X-T3... Luckily I can't afford the (unreleased) X-T5 the £50 i spent on some LED lights with soft boxes is much more useful for me right now, always need more lights :)
100 percent agree on generational upgrades
The gh4 was so good that there still isn't much competition for it. 10bit, native sdi, full size xlr... it had everything for the working pro. The ultimate b-cam. What's its current competition? The ursas do well, otherwise, there's not a lot in the budget space.
So, yea, still using that gh4 and so many productions are as well.
“Their marketing department is hard at work trying to ruin your family” LMAO
@Camera Conspiracies thanks to you Kasey I upgraded from my trusty Sony ZV-1, to the A7iv. It's my first full frame and I'm so stoked with it. Got the Sony 20mm f1.8 first, then a 2nd hand 85mm f1.8. Feels like I'm set for life with this setup. With the 1.5 x crop it's like owning 4 lenses. Thanks for talking me out of upgrading/downgrading to the A7C. That would have sucked so bad lol...
PS. Please could you recommend the next lens to save up for hahaha. I'm leaning 135mm f1.8, but man would I love a 200-600mm
The upgrade doesn't need to be substantial to be worth it. If the upgrade lets you optimize your workflow, then you're going to be making more money per hour. Also, if you upgrade frequently then you can sell the old gear at a good price, so the upgrade isn't that costly, but if you wait too long, then your old camera is worth nothing.
But most upgrades won't bring you more return of investment and along the way from upgrade to upgrade you lose more money accumulated in comparison with one single substantial upgrade
This is only true if you are pushing the current gear to its limits and if you are swamped in work to make all the extra money from the time you are supposedly going to save.
Only if you see photography as a job and earn good money with!
If its just a hobby, you CAN NOT UPGRADE THAT MUCH/OFTEN!
We should also see a difference between upgrading the camera (= replacing an older camera with a newer model) or upgrading the gear with an additional camera.
I just tried to replace the EOS RP with a EOS R6 (for wildlife). Thank god i didnt sell the RP because i absolutely could not handle the R6.... too big, heavy. Yeah a great camera, but i really could not "live" with it when used for daily, family and travel stuff, plus selling the RP would have been needed to compensate for the high price.
Instead, i sold the R6 within the same week i bought it for a good price and got the R7 as COMPLEMENTARY camera to the RP. RP does everything great and partially better than the R7, while the R7 is a far superior wildlife and video/hybrid camera!
I guess my upgrade from a Canon 50D i bought in 2008 to a Panasonic G9 a couple of months ago was worth it. Im mostly a stills shooter but youre right, im a video shooter at heart since I upgraded... I'm assuming that's more than leaps and bounds, more like a time warp....lol.
The video on the Pana just blew me away!!! BTW, Great video again.
Ps. Take care that 3D pop with the Canon lenses dont pop you bank account to hard....🤣
If you attached that honking lens on your shoulder you could cosplay as the "Predator" and then pretend to hunt humans.
Just upgraded my NEX-5T to a A7IV. It might be a little better in some ways.. but part of me says... maybe still too soon. Maybe.
For the still photographer have there been any upgrades worth having recently. If anything stacked sensors have reduced performance for the sake of read speed. The review scene is now the domain of videographers and I am sure most of us can just stick with our old stuff and ignore what goes on in the new releases. An upgrade involves funding a mass of video research and implementation of it in the new camera which seems more to satisfy the reviewer than the user.
We are only just missing megapixels and even smarter AI tracking.
It will be out in 2 days .... the Fujifilm X-H2 with 40mp sensor and capable of shooting 8k video.
@@CharlezRichard Again the emphasis on video and disc space in the cloud still costs money for backup and the camera is out of my budget, the lenses to resolve 40mp way out of my budget and I find even 16mp enough really. The camera industry is walking away from the hobbyist and in body stabilisation in anything larger than m43 expensive. In a way great to be of of this upgrade tread mill with the camera makers desperate for margin and ramping specs for stuff I would think few need. The new releases all seem for professional budgets and users so great if you need it and not knocking it. Nice to be off the upgrade path and plenty of good stuff around. Sold my last Fuji and not really missing it with an EM10 II and E-PL10 doing fine. Just a personal opinion and not trying to preach format or make. I have bought a secondhand Panasonic 14-45mm which is a design going back to the start of m43 for a song and it works fine. I think the term upgrade seems to be bandied around for any new model and at the affordable end more likely to be a downgrade if anything. Look at how Fuji have stripped down the XE's over time. Still a nice camera but there is cost saving and component shortages in the mix I am sure.
@@michaeld5888 Larger photos don't bother me... But video? Yes it does absolutely, even at 4k 100 Mbps.
I print big regularly and I really love dem pixels.
Yeah. I just got A7IV few monts ago, and I cannot see I need anything better.
For serious video work I'll get FX6, because of ND filters, but for photos and YT, A7IV will be my work horse till it dies.
Sure.. wait for the better one. And also until the firmware is finished, which takes even 2 years in some cases :D
I had Pentax K10D ordered and delivery to shop too long that in the meantime K20D was introduced. Then I skipped K7 as it basically had same sensor and bought K5 which was a big step forward and stayed with me for 10 years... and 2 years ago I've added K3 with latest firmware which turns it into different camera than the one introduced years ago..
Not always though. a7ii to a7iii would be a pretty big upgrade
Agreed. I went from the a7ii to a7iii and it was noticeably better. However, I've refrained from upgrading the at the a7iv. I'm holding out for something truly better (I'm a stills shooter)
Yep, I totally agree. I do the same with computer builds. Wait until there will be a noticeable difference. I was also laughing when you mentioned the 60D. I just upgraded for the first time to another Canon and what a difference. The 60D didn't have auto focus on the video side. You had to re-focus every shot. Love your delivery. I'm an older version of you. Thanks for sharing.
these cameras had also for a good reason no AF. many of these older lenses wobbled hard when AF was used, this renders video with AF used on many of the older lenses useless. In manual focus none of them wobbled at all.
Dude.... 🗣DO NOT CHANGE THAT INTRO MUSIC 🤣🤣
Once again you hit it out the ballpark and made me LOL in the process! In my arsenal I own one of each heavy hitter, Canon R, A7S3, GH5 and recently picked up the OM1. IMO I'm done there hasn't been a camera out there I would give up any of what I own now.
The G85 was really the best match camera for me and probably for most people. I up to the G9 for the 10bit video but regret it cause of the size of that camera. I realized most people use 8 bit panels or watch content on their tiny smart phone scenes so if you aren't color grading nerd, it really doesn't matter.
I have g85, I’m constantly tempted to upgrade but I’m broke… but also the camera is great, I would get much better improvements with a new longer lens or better lighting. Why don’t you sell the G9 and “downgrade” again?
@@JimiCanRead I sold it to get em5 mark III, nice compact camera but no 10 bit video. Lumix gui is much better than Olympus though but Olympus has phase detect
Markus Pix is a fun channel to watch.
I've just updated to a a7ii from my a900 for 400bucks mainly to use my olympus and zenit lenses
Person walking dog far behind you on the path thinks, "Hmmm -- who is this guy up ahead talking animatedly to his camera? Happy-go-lucky camera vlogger? Or Canadian crazy?" And then they turn around and walk the other way....
Where do i get the "clips" or whatever that is on your backpack straps? That looks too interesting with the RF 800 F11 for hiking and i didnt found it yet
ruclips.net/video/dOlb15FJwwY/видео.html
@@cameraconspiracies big thanks!
It renders the handle on the RF 800 now useless since in shooting position its camera heavy and i dont want the camera to punch my face on a regular base lol
But mounting the camera on the clip works also great, so much better solution than any strap. At best im using a small wrist strap with smaller/lighter lenses which can also act with one turn around wrist like binding the camera grip with your hand, but it just works with light and not front heavy lenses (for example at a live concert for easy holding the camera one handed as high as possible)
Lol I am currently trying to sell my 60D for too much because I upgraded to the a6000 I stole from my mom and want some lenses for it.
I went from a canon 450d to a 1300d and then recently to an 80d, in terms of photography the only real difference is I can crop more.
I watch you with my morning coffee ☕️
I went from a Canon 1200d (T5) to a Sony A7III. A year later I'm still trying to figure it out.
There was a meeting!!!
Casey, Thanks for the great information & hilarious sarcasm. I was thinking of upgrading from the XT2 to the XH2R. Do you think that's a reasonable upgrade? Or should I wait another 10 years..lol
Have I told you lately that I love you? Because this video is amazing! When the time comes I’m going to ask my first born son to name his first born after you. Whatever your name is…
“Camera Conspiracies Homie” Johnson is a consolation name.
5 years ago i bought my first camera - sony a6000. it is still my one and only somewhat close to camera kinda device. shuttercount +300k. everything is broken and clonky but its still just barely working. i think my upgrade finger is itching finally.
I went from Canon 7D to A7iii … 12 years before upgrade!
at 13.30 ish looks really good and 3D!!!
Great video I did a upgrade this year from Fujifilm xt10 to the xt4 it was worth the upgrade!
I wanta upgrade to a MFT camera without IBIS wobble / warpy on my wide angle vlogging lenses 🥹
You can't and you probably never will: it is a physics problem as the wide angle lenses are distorting the image and software compensate for that. As the image is not planar, the IBIS compensate well for up, down, left right and barrel roll, but when it compensate for pan left and right, the image wobble because you are moving a spherically deformed image in your sensor. The wider the lens, the more pronounced the wobble at the corners, while the centre is usually fine. M43 suffers more if that because the focal length has to be shorter then on larger sensors. Ideally a Fuji medium sensor would be the less affected camera format (Hass and Ph1 di not make videos and do not have IBIS).
It would require extensive AI processing to eliminate that and a very well made lens which perfectly couples with the camera body, ideally a non interchangeable lens one. That is why post processing on Sony makes the stabilization better then it does in camera.
I just upgraded from canon T5i to canon 6d classic, its ancient but dang I am super happy with the upgrade XD
You read my mind with the topic of this video
I'm using the a6400 right now and primarily use it for video use. I really want to upgrade to a full frame a7 IV instead of getting other lenses for APS-C.
Candor and a killer thumbnail! Things are looking up.
Lol 😂 thats true, I feel that way, I have toe sony A7c and wanted to get an apc c camara but I couldn’t find nothing really convincing. I upgraded GP 8 to the GP9. That was a big regret.
A73 to A74 was huuuuge leap!
I’m kind of old school since I come from actual motion picture film (16mm and Super 8) and standard def digital video. I like buying older cameras because they are better than what I had to use back in the day, plus they are extremely affordable! Instead of paying $2,000+ for the latest and greatest, I’d rather invest $500 for an older camera that has a great image over a ton modern features.
I’m hoping to upgrade from the xt2 and xh1. Should be a pretty big upgrade.
If the gear outpaces creativity level, then it's definitely a loss of money. But also there's a very very slight chance that acquiring better gear can motivate you to do more. Like signing for a gym membership could make you go there and exercise once a week... Potentially.
Hey Kasey, I upgraded from an a6300 to an s5ii. Relative to what I had, panyboy features are huge gains. But I find myself in the same predicament I was in with dying apsc ecosystems, lumix current lens lineup and roadmap bore me to death.
My question is are there any fun gadgets to get me by til they decide to produce more lenses? Maybe anamorphic adapters or some third party cinema lenses to keep things interesting?
Okay I'll wait 5 generations to upgrade my Fuji to something that can actually track faces. Meanwhile, by then, Sony cameras will be able to track cancer cells in the human body and warn me to get my prostate checked
Hell, you can use Sony to diagnose the jaundice it gives you right now. No need to wait.
I went from a NEX-5T to a XT-3. I can wait for awhile.
If you became a photographer your stress level would be so much lower! LOL! I do think the wig(s) should make a comeback soon. Maybe the three dancing girls from your intro could pose for a shoot some day. Keep rockin' Kasey....
Fro said that he found rf glass to have 3d like quality when he switched to canon for his photography.
I’m currently in the process of downgrading all my gear because for my needs my Sony ax33 and my iPhone have me in video. I work at a camera store now so if I want to try something I just take it home for the night. For Photography I’m going to see what cheapest camera has good enough auto focus and buy some cheap primes.
I know my iPhone puts me in the loser cabinet but it works and is fun. I live vicariously through your channel and the money saved on expensive glass can go to CC t-shirts.
I went from a canon 5dm2 to a sony a7riii & a7iv but i use vintage nikkor ais, takumar zeiss lenses on them
I think you can call it a decent upgrade when I didn't have any camera and bought the XH2S. Although I was dumb to not wait for the upcoming Sony F30.
went from canon s95 to fuji x100s to a sony a7riv. I envy the Sony A1 but I know I shouldn’t because it won’t help me get better pictures.
You are stronger than Jared Polin!
Oh my goodness! You may have a future in Hollywood.. acting!
I'm not kidding 😉
You know what, I'm not interested in video shooting, I'm one of those losers photographers 😂
I watch your videos because of your performance.. and of course there many useful information and thoughts.
Greetings ✌️
I have 6 cameras and I’m new to photography. Cheapest out with LUMIX G95, then decided Sony A6400 was what I needed. Spiraled out of control.
Looks like the perfect camera arrived today….hope you review it.
I am praying for the Canon R1
You’re welcome for your Davinci Resolve License. ❤️
I use K&F Concept for bag, tripod, and filters. Can you review your accessories?
I upgraded from Nikon D7500 to Z6ii, excellent choice, great for portraits and everything. But not good for subject tracking. Rely on single point or dynamic autofocus for Bird photography. I sold my D7500, but now feel like buying D850, only for its 45 MPs Sensor with 200-500mm.
My advice get a used Z7. I did much better option than the D850, unless you have a big investment in F Mount glass.
The Z7 us the most under rated camera out there. I love the images it makes.
@@magicalwishlist6616 Z6ii with 200-500mm doesn't feel like much reliable, Z7 may not be good either. What I have heard and seen other d500/D850 shooters say 200-500 works great for DSLRs like D500 and D850. And since D850 has 45MPs sensor I have a huge cropping options in addition to better Focus.
What about the Sony FR7? Might be hard to vlog with thou.
Imagine I still use the X3000. Got two of them.
Been with the X3000 since 2017...
I'll be upgrading from my faithful Nikon D5200 this autumn, lol 😂
Loved the meta self-roast skit. Hilarious 😂
What video switcher do you use to record those board meetings switching between multiple cameras? Will look forward to testing my new 2nd hand canon 1.4 35mm lens with eos r since you say it may have 3d pop
Not a second camera. He just flips it in post.
@@dougscottking that sounds like some kind of alien witchcraft secret technology to me.
Work? You never Work? WeWork! Is where yougo!!
The new and upcoming Fujifilm X-T5 will be announced this year, 2022. My thoughts are that it will be released Feb. 2023. Will have 40mp sensor, no battery grip capability, will shoot 8k30fps video. Also, new lenses are on the way, XF56mm Ver.2, and more.I will stick with Fujifilm. It will not be announced on September 8th, it will be announced later this year.
All those XH2S buyers are doing you a favor and making you wait till the new firmware comes out that addresses all problems
Which firmware will take $700 off the price?
Cinema look: achieved
I did that.. A7s 1 to A7iv. Haven’t sold the old one tho
damn, i had just started to wonder whether to from a7 iii to iv :')
