  • To become a better photographer you need to create a lot images. It's as simple as that. So a camera that you enjoy using becomes much more important than one with the latest and greatest specs/features. My standing advice for someone choosing between two cameras is to "buy the cool one". This is a list of my 5 favorite cameras when I ignore everything about them except for the cool factor.
    PS. Im listing digital cameras only because analog film cameras kinda have the "coolness" built into the film roll. And I still find digital to be wrongfully considered a bit "geeky" in comparison. Imo thats not really true, there are lots of "cool" digital cameras.. even though my modified SX-70 is pretty much the coolest thing ever. ;)

      I sold mine a few months ago...no service, no parts. Worried about even picking it up LOL! Always hard to sort out how other people view the unique look produced by a digital sensor/processor. Mileages vary. I think I read the sensor is the same as that used in a 2003-era Nikon that can be had for $40 or $50 bucks. Sold mine for $600 so not bad for a 6 meg digital cam born at the dawn of the digital era.

    My cool camera is a common one, a Fuji X-E1. The secret is that I've adapted a set of Olympus Pen F lenses from the '60s to it. They were designed for half frame, which is just the tiniest bit larger than APS-C, so the focal lengths work out pretty much as they were designed to in terms of angle of view. And the resolution is excellent. A little flare prone, but I'm not complaining...

    • @Lainer1
      @Lainer1 4 года назад

Your voice, your style, you subject (Especially gunpowder) are like some kind of zen meditation. My only regret is not having enough money to buy basically everything you recommend, but I've done my best to improve as a photographer using my A6500, RX100V and I just picked up an A7 for full frame stills. I might modify the A7 for astrophotography, or I might just pick up an A6000 for that. Great channel, as always.

    The coolest/ most fun to use camera I have bought in the last five years is my Nikon Z50. I love using it. It is so simple to get great videos and stills out of it. The new lenses made for this camera are part of the fun. They work well for me contrary to all the bitching on YT about them. I love the simple interface and handling.

    • @johnbuscher
      @johnbuscher 4 года назад +1

      R Nuttmann Honestly, I’d really like the Z50 if it was internally stabilized. That just helps to much, especially if you adapt other lenses to it. I know that the correct response to that is “git gud” but after leaning on it in my K-1, it’s just so nice to stick any lens I have on there and not worry about it for shooting indoors or just walking around in poor light. But that means I should just take the K-1 out more, haha. Happy shooting with the Z50! Enjoy it!

    For me, the Lumix GM1 is probably the coolest camera I've ever used. I generally love miniatures, and this camera is no taller than the lens mount, and has amazing build quality, and a design worthy of Leica (curiously, the Leica CL looks very much like an upsized GM5, even more than it does an M).

    • @gearreallydoesntmatter
      @gearreallydoesntmatter  4 года назад +1

    The Fujifilm X20?! I never expected you, or anyone to mention that camera on a list like this. I had sold my Sony A7 as I wasn't using it and had finished a job so wanted to downgrade to something. I really wanted a Fujifilm X100S, but couldn't justify the price. However after some research I discovered the Fujifilm X20, and managed to pick one up used. The X10/20/30 is probably the most feature packed compact cameras from Fujifilm and it's annoyed me that they've discontinued the line. Without that camera I wouldn't have the job I've been doing the last 3 and a bit years. It literally changed my life.
    Here's some features it has that's amazing for a compact camera, a sharp zoom lens covering most focal lengths (the optical viewfinder also zooms), a hotshoe, macro mode, full manual mode, raw, Fujifilm filters, a leaf shutter with flash synch to 1/1000th of a second, a tiny sensor meaning more sharpness and helping to get closer. And it looks cool.
    Put all that together and I have my studio camera I use with 4 speed lights and close-up filters for photographing jewellery.
    I've met a few people using an X10/20 or 30 on the streets and they all seem to love it.
    If it wasn't for that tiny compact camera, I wouldn't be out there shooting film on a daily basis. I do miss using it on the street, but I'm tempted to get another, or an X100V. For anyone else I'd suggest going for the X30 over the X10 or X20 as they might prefer the EVF over the OVF.

      Hmm, coolest cameras... well, I haven’t used a ton.
      I had a Holga from back when they were like $30, you had to use electrical tape on the back to reduce light leaks (or not), and the plastic lens had funny smeared spots, and at first it was super cool because you never knew what would come out on the negative, and sometimes you got a cool surprise.
      I had a plastic but fantastic film camera, I think it was a Yashika (I do remember it had a sharp Zeiss T* lens). Metering was automatic, but it had two optical rangefinders: one on top, meant for you to look down into and shoot from the waist, and it had a fairly quiet operation. It was like my poverty Leica.
      My wife got me a solid metal Pentax, and it had a lot of lifetime stories (aka scratches), but I couldn’t find a battery for the meter so I never ended up using it.
      I think my #1 coolest camera wasn’t even all that rare. An Olympus E-620. It was really thin, but it had a decent optical viewfinder, and it had the option to use live view with the fully articulating flippy screen. The grip was more like a hook. I enjoyed the ergos and size, even at weird shooting positions (I think it was my first camera with image stabilization), it had more features than I felt like I could master in 5 years, and some amazing colors that seemed really emotional and capable of telling a story. I think I liked the colors and to-the-left asymmetrical viewfinder and Mount position of the E-500 more, and took my favorite shots with that, but I used the E620 more and just felt like it was cooler :)

Second is my beat up old Mamiya RB67. The big lens on this camera system were beyond cool. Finally the Hasselblad 500 series. Everything is cool on this camera, the body, the lens are so well built, smooth to operate, the shutterssound is beyond, the accessories, everything. And a pennies on the dollar today.

Very close size to the Q, great image quality, interchangeable lenses, cool design. I never used the Q but based on your review it has much more technical limitations than the 1, not to mention much more drastic light restrictions of a smaller sensor. Too bad you never get a hold of the 1 series, I can guarantee you would love it more than the Q.

    This isn't a popular camera, but you should test the Olympus XZ1. I use it everyday and it makes excellent photos, I think its because its still using a CCD sensor. Has a bright and sharp F1.8-2.5 lens (looks pretty similar to the Pentax MX1), also small and pocketable. By the way excellent video as always and looking forward to more in the future!

    One cool camera I use to own was the Samsung Galaxy Camera a small point and shoot but built off a galaxy so it had access to the app store and you could download cool apps like a: VHS simulator, Vaporwave simulator, Polaroid, tintprint and just could have a lot of fun with it..also being phone shaped it could easily fit in a pants pocket, which means it could be taken anywhere ..very stealthy

    No Sigma? I got DP Merrill after seeing one of your videos and I think it is really good and fun to use, thanks :) I have two GXR:s, missing the 28mm module, but otherwise pretty complete. It’s at great camera but it is getting a bit expensive. Would really like to try the Pentax Q sometime. Great vid, keep up the good work?

    I'm still shooting with my somewhat bashed up X20. It just accompanied me on a couple of weeks camping in Western Australia's Pilbara reason. It has limitations in terms of dynamic range and other things & I really should shoot RAW! I do need to update I guess, but my Instagram still has some great memories captured with this camera.

    @grumpywiseguy5992 4 года назад

    Of all the digital cameras I have owned, my current Olympus EM10 mk3 is the coolest. Probably because it reminds me of my old FM3A. Once set up, simple to use, small, great lens (Oly 12-40 Pro), and it just looks cool to me in a retro kind of way. Interesting to me is that all of the latest and greatest offerings being announced lately have not tempted me one bit towards replacing it. I think I called out the Nikon in my previous post as a FM4A, but I think it is a FM3A. It is currently hiding in a safe.

    Hi Mattias
    I totally agree with
    I have had lots of cameras but the only device with which I totally felt so enthusiast and joyful was an old Nokia smartphone with a Zeiss lens cos it was discretions and all about composition and searching for the best light
    with more powerful cameras I feel a little bit strange ....and the purpose of photography for me get lost ...photography is for me just searching for a different language for express what I wanna say
    thanks for your videos a

    I’ve had the first model of Pentax Q (two of them in fact, one kept mis-reading cards, so I got a refund), and had a selection of the lenses. Very enjoyable to use, with the standard prime, and the fisheye. The toy telephoto is actually quite high quality, don’t be fooled. Also, the Pentax Q emits DNG as its raw format! I don’t have the Pentax Q set any more, I traded them in for what was to become my ‘one’ camera a short while later.

    • @IanTindale
      @IanTindale 4 года назад +1

      My ‘one’ camera (once I sold all my other cameras* including my Nikon gear) was to be a first-generation Sony RX10. I still have it, it still is my ‘one’ camera
      *with the exception of a couple more: a Sony A5100 I bought from a family member who ordered it from eBay then didn’t want it (I use it with a left-over Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm with an adaptor) and also a Fuji 770EXR I forgot I had because it was tucked in a drawer
      (incidentally, it takes the same batteries as my Pentax Q did - Mattias, see that the Fuji X20 (I had an X10) and the Pentax Q batteries are actually identical!). But, that first generation Sony RX10 is still my one and only.

    • @AndrewSowerby
      @AndrewSowerby 4 года назад +1

      All Pentax cameras put out DNG format RAWs, and have for years. Super convenient, and I can't understand why all camera manufacturers don't do this.

    Hey Mattias, this is off topic but I’d love to hear your thoughts on the X100V. I went for the GRIII over the X100F due to the soft lens on the Fuji, but this new version with the new lens is really tempting!
    I’d be keeping my Ricoh whether or not I choose to splurge on the Fuji due to the unmatched portability.
