Such a great take - also on the topic "Hey friend, would you like to bring your camera to our wedding - you have such a great camera...?" 😉 Thanks for more lovely and insightful inspiration, Sergio 👐 Best from Susanne, Denmark
Totally agree! Best spendings on photography is on traveling indeed. Today I was in freeride in snowboard with full packed lumix s5iix, it was tough but fun :)
Newer gear can help overcome some degree of lack in skill -- sometimes. Newer gear can have quality of life improvements. Some gear can be more fun to use than other gear, making your work more pleasurable to do. And sometimes a specialty lens can enable you to get that shot of the stars, or high magnification macro. But the gear is the tool and doesn't make your story or your composition. That's a learning step most of us have to go through at some point, I guess! And by the time you've reached "max gear level" is the time you realize, well, it all didn't really matter as much as actually becoming more skilled. 😉
Love the video and agree wholeheartedly. I think money better spent are in (used) books and time better spent by going to gallery and immerse yourself in art of others. BUT!!! ... Can I pretty please have answer from proper professional to my most burning question. Can I use my Phase One as door stopper?
It's funny I use a GFX100S ii ...let me explain. I was using a FUJI XT5 and while I liked it had defencies in low light. And focussing. BUT I lobed Fujifilm colours ...from raw to edit. I dislike sony menus ...I used a Nikon d850 brilliant but No good infer a shutter speed of 1/100 So after much trialing I ended up in Fujifilm gfx Recently though I was running a workshop shop face to face And I gave a student my 100s ii for twn minutes Yup no great images The higher the specs ..especially megapixels ..you better know how to drive it! 20 to 24 megapixsl is sweet spot Yes mirrorless has some advantages but DSLR still great. It does matter if you have skill I have been a part time working professional
@@jaegerschtulmann for colours yes but not for image quality and low light performance. I do really well at a photography given that I only do it for pretty much one day a week professionally. I have a good day job as well so I can afford gear and I made the jump to GFX because of several reasons I don't like videos like this that criticise people for buying gear people can do what they like with their money. He makes it sound like that. It's a bad thing to spend money on Gear. Well one day you're going to die. No one's gonna remember you anyway so your enjoy the gear you have and if that means buying nice gear go for it I see it completely differently..... also if we don't support the companies that make gear then eventually they will stop making it completely and that's not good for the industry. Either. I have some close contacts for Fuji film in Australia and had coffee with them and I've explained how it works. We need a vibrant camera industry, not videos like this which completely discourage anyone buying gear.
@@jaegerschtulmann if you stand in front of a GFX print that's 1.2 m across by 70 cm down in a big gallery. The GFX will give the impression that you are actually standing at the scene. The XT5 simply can't do that. Don't get me wrong the XT5 can take some nice photos of street photography people and even landscapes but it doesn't have that resolution that takes prints to a whole new level and you have to stand in front of massive print to actually see the difference and that is the market that Im in.
@@nevvanclarke9225 yeah of course the gfx image quality is leaps and bounds ahead of the tiny apsc sensor and glad you could afford it…hell who wouldn’t like to have one or a Hasselblad
@@jaegerschtulmann you know I worked my absolute arse off to buy the camera and that's probably why I reacted to this post a little bit these types of videos which tell people not to buy gear really are just click bait. We need a healthy camera industry and if people want to save up and buy a nice camera with their hard earned money and go and use it, we should be encouraging that life is short enjoy your gear if we rolled up to a car club on a Sunday and someone had a brand-new car that they had worked on would we be saying the same thing about that flash car? No we wouldn't be. We would be saying great wheels man check it out with all due respect to this video. I just think it's a crock of shit and I'm calling it out and I've called it out on lots of other people who resort to these types of videos where they tell people not to buy gear....... what really got my goat was some of the images that he was showing from so-called world renowned photographers who take dog shit photos and call it art seriously come on!!! I have unsubscribed from this channel and it's probably a good reason because I cannot stand this type of attitude in our camera industry and our photography industry. We could easily say the same thing about taking photos. Let's just download AI save the money. Don't hire a photographer........rant over!!
Let me know your favourite feature on the new Sony a7Wx-248
Dude your videos have been superb recently. Love seeing them.
Thanks for the feedback Jiggi 🤙
So true, and amazingly needs to be repeated over and over and yet the uninitiated never seem to get it. Thanks for another good video.

I hear those blue rings make a great paperweight 😂 hahaha
Good gear motivates me, but doesn’t create.
Great way to put it!
It's funny

So after much trialing I ended up in Fujifilm gfx
Recently though I was running a workshop shop face to face
And I gave a student my 100s ii for twn minutes
Yup no great images
The higher the specs ..especially megapixels ..you better know how to drive it!

The xt5 AF is virtually identical to the gfx100 II.
