    Hello hello, I hope you enjoyed the video and the thoughts on this little gem I wanted to share AND the lovely Ghibli clouds I was treated to by the weather :o
    Also much love to Squarespace again for sponsoring the video! Head to www.squarespace.com/teocrawford to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code "TEOCRAWFORD".
    Have a great week,
    Teo
    P.S I've noticed that the price for this camera seems to vary quite a lot across the globe. For reference, I often find this camera body in the 400€ range, which in my eyes is a good deal - I hope that clarifies a couple questions :)

      Congratulations on your 1st digital camera. Be careful. This could be your gateway drug into photography. Word of advice. Newer, better, more expensive cameras won’t make you a better photographer. I know this through experience.
      Use the gear you have. Purchase primes if and when you need them. YT videos will help you become a better photographer. Books, as in how to or of images by photographers you like , will help you become a better photographer. Going to workshops or taking classes are also helpful. Your gear, especially your body, is the least import element of becoming a good photographer. The most important piece of gear you will ever have is about six inches behind your camera.

Im going to sell it and get something that suits my needs and give me that feeling again, even if it's a massive downgrade in terms of quality.

    • @teocrawford
      @teocrawford  11 месяцев назад

      The video is okay, but not sufficient for the quality I require for my work, so I don’t really use it. I used to though, but I‘m happy to have been able to upgrade to the Sony because it‘s dynamic range is a fair bit better especially with the wide choice of profiles (I shoot in HLG2). Also a big minus for the Lumix is that the footage looks quite over-sharpened, which some might not mind, but I can’t stand it😅
      On the other hand the image stabilisation is insanely good which for video can be quite handy.

      That’s strange, because I can usually find it for about 400🤔 I didn’t think that the price could vary so strongly depending on your location.
      And 400 is really cheap for a camera with the capabilities of the GX80. You‘re not going to find a bloody camera that’s any good for 80 bucks. But the cameras that camera manufacturers try to sell us nowadays are in the 1000-2000 bucks range, so considering that, 400 is a steal! That is the point I‘m trying to make here🙌🏼✨

      Sure 600$ bei itself is a lot HOWEVER not when it comes to cameras. It’s not really out of touch when you consider that good cameras can cost multiple thousands of dollars. I‘d say anything under 800 is considerable as a „cheap“ camera. Anything under 400 is a „budget“ camera. It’s the same way cheap Pianos are 800$ and that is just the way it is. You can not expect high quality in that price range but it’s enough. Nothing out of touch with that. It alway depends on what it is about.

    You were a big part of me deciding to get this exact set-up and I never regretted it. Such a special combo. And it clearly inspires you because your photos with it are some of your best work imo.
    The big companies don't want people to know it but no, you don't need the latest gear to enjoy photography. In the contrary I would say.
    I have been shooting with a Nikon D60 and a 35mm 1.8 and I don't even know how old it is but if I didn't like cameras as much as I like ohitography I could very well just shoot with this combo or the GX80/20mm1.7 and be perfectly happy.
    Btw, if you use lightroom I highly encourage you to use the new denoise funstion. It's ofc not perfect but it makes photos that would have been unusable at high iso completely clean and even printable.
    There is no more excuse now to not use old gear (if you use lightroom).

    • @teocrawford
      @teocrawford  5 месяцев назад

      As a half Japanese I know to be very careful in Japan when it comes to my behaviour in public. The photo you're pointing out didn't really annoy anyone, I think you're misinterpreting the facial expressions. The goal in street photography is to capture the candid looks of people, which is exactly what happened in this shot. They aren't all smiley obviously because that's not what they do (although I have had that too haha).
      Also I don't know how you imagine that the shot was taken, but this was literally a split second that they barely noticed. Something flashed and they see this guy with a camera, but we're just walking by each other and no one really cares. I can only see one guy who you might be referring to who is looking straight at me with the classic tired resting face that most people in Japan have.
      But thanks for letting me know, it is something I'm always careful with no matter where :)

      @@teocrawford Hi Teo, thanks for the reply, I honestly wasn't expecting one. I get the goal of street photography. But at the same time, I am concerned slightly because in almost all Japanese TV media (photography/video) that captures people's faces in the background or such, the faces are all blurred for anonymity. The people who have agreed to be in the shot usually don't have their faces blurred.
      I think I just wanted to point out that even if it is called street photography not everyone wants to have their face in a video that has more than half a million views without permission. Well, you know, that's just like uh, my opinion, man.
      5:56 The girls are looking right into the camera too. Maybe I am misinterpreting. I don't know, just be careful :)
      I recommend looking up the following video and just being careful with a few of the laws.

      @@AW_Designs Yes, absolutely, I'm sorry if the answer came across like I'm not accepting of your opinion - I appreciate it fully.
      I know that street photography can be tricky in this sense - if I'm not mistaken the law in Korea really makes it hard. As far as I know Japan isn't as strict, however also not as open as Germany for example. Thank you for pointing to the video!
      Personally I act in life in general according to the principle of "I act how I'd want others to act". So obviously I don't want someone pointing a camera into my home's window, because that is an invasion of privacy. However anyone walking around in the city is in a public space that does not permit the expectation of privacy and hence I wouldn't mind being photographed as long as the photograph doesn't in some way deform me. And so when I shoot, I behave accordingly.
      Also I see the documentation of people and a place in their candid way as a very important part of history and so put simply I just do not think it is wrong. However if someone sees me and asks me to not publish or even delete the photo I of course respect that.
      This all makes it a really tricky thing for me and I think I just wanted to let you know that this is not something that I haven't thought through. My conclusion has obviously led to me keeping the photos in the video.
      Ohh also concerning the women at 5:56 - yes, they looked at me after the shot and we nodded to each other politely and passed by each other. That didn't give me the impression that they felt intruded by me.

      @theBaron001 9 месяцев назад +1

      Oh no, I got what you were saying. But the reason you were making the joke is because so many people either think that way, or have been conditioned to think that way by the market. I've unfortunately left my film days behind me now (too expensive), but I also shot a diverse range of cameras, and even now with my digital stuff I still shoot everything from todays lenses through to some from the 40's/50's/60's. It's actually quite funny really, as since covid the second hand market here has gotten even worse than it was (aus), and now in the last 12 months or so we've had the digicam wave, and both those things have combined to see ANY AND ALL second hand cameras asking and going for ridiculous prices. Every time one of these videos goes up I have a search for the camera in question, and the "cheap" finds that people say they get for $20-$200 are selling for $600-$1000. The constant race to upgrade to the latest and greatest in the camera world was always a nice liitle thing for people like us who are happy to shoot with older/second hand cameras, but it seems those days are now gone.@@teocrawford

    You were partly what inspired me to get a GX85! Love your photos and how you can turn something seemingly mundane into something beautiful. Been a photographer for going on 10 years and was a micro four thirds guy for a while and sold everything for full frame when I started leaning heavier into video. I realized very quickly I didn't like the weight of the bodies or lenses when going on personal trips or for EDC. Also found out there was nothing "magical" or "unobtainable" with full frame. Yes shallow dof, blah blah; but a photo is so much more than blurry background. So I decided to go back to this exact setup, GX85+20mm f1.7. I told myself I would by a 12mm or a 15mm at some point but I absolutely love the 20mm, it never comes off. I still have my full frame Panasonic cameras for work but when it's just me and I want something light to throw in my pocket or a small sling pouch, it's the GX85 that comes with me.

    With regards to your point on the super high ISO capability at 9:59; that high ISO isn't really useful for single shots, but if you're stacking shots using median blending in post, then you can get the benefits of higher shutter speed in low light while keeping low noise. It's the same technique many smartphones use to achieve such low noise in their night modes.

    Everything about this video is how i've been feeling for a long time.
    After many years and many test trials with digicams and even the x100 i finally found the camera sparks that joy and gives me that ease of use and burden-less feeling. I found a deal on the "old" sony rx1rii and that camera has completely resparked my love for photography.
    I use to shoot a lot with point and shoot film cameras, i would use them as my everyday carry whether i was going out with friends/family or on my commute to work, i would always make sure it would come with me. i would even make room for it in my camera bag on trips or my paid gigs. current film prices had got me looking more into digital point and shoots and long story short i ended up with the rx1rii and now my bigger sony has taken the back seat.
    its so nice to come across video that really goes into depth explaining that feeling ive been personally experiencing. this has definitely become one of my favorite videos here on youtube that ive watched in a long time, i couldve easily watched this video front to back 10+ times even if it was hours long. so yeah thank you for that :)

    Love this video and camera so much! I was using a 5D mk iii prior to getting the gx85. It was super heavy, and i never wanted to shoot. So I completely understand everything you said in this video. For my business work, i shoot with an R6 mk ii now, which isn’t as heavy, but I still won’t use it for my own photography. It just doesn’t inspire me. For digital it’s got to be the gx85, and for film i carry an olympus om-2n or pentax zoom 60x. It’s just super refreshing to have smaller, easy to use cameras that will still take great photos 📸

    I think I would have to disagree on the billboard statement. When the iPhone 6 (i think) came out, they had an ad campaign where they shot actual billboards with it and it was just fine. It was also 15MP. The bigger something is, the farther the appropriate viewing distance is to it. So, if you have a 12MP or 16MP camera, you can do most things perfectly fine with it. The only time it might be negative is when you're viewing them to purposely pick out poor quality. I'd argue, if you told somebody who wasn't a photographer that this was a "professional" camera they wouldn't disagree. It's all about how you look at things.

    I feel the same about the gx80. I don't know what it is, but this camera inspires me to go out and take pictures. It's about the process of taking them and capture memories...and not about pixels and perfection. I always loved the idea of dealing with limitations. I would love to upgrade to the gx9 for the exposure compensation dial... because the rear dial on my gx80 has stopped working. And it's my 2nd one because of this. 😅

You should have mentioned the lack of an anti-aliasing filter on this camera and the fact that it has IBIS. Both contribute to even sharper images depending on the situation.

Your setup reminds me a lot of mine: my main digital camera is an Olympus EM10 mark II paired with a 20mm f1.7 Lumix lens! It was my first ''serious'' camera, I bought it 3 years ago and it gave me some exquisite shots. Lately I've been enojoying the digicam trend, and I got myself a Canon Ixus 70 (the famous sd1000): well, it made me feel and think just as described by you in this video! While tecnically it's a bad and old camera, it actually helped me a lot getting rid of overthinking and made me take more pics!

Sure higher MP and ISO numbers are great but even having a camera that gives you usable 800ISO is just lovely. And I'd really like to be a guy starting out in this era.
