  • Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
  • Almost three years ago I made a video where I listed 5 really good and relatively affordable cameras that I had owned and liked but for some reason didn’t review. And now when I have decided to sell all my gear in order to buy "My Dream Camera" I thought it was time for 5 more.
    The reasons for not making the cut for a review varies but all five cameras are great.

    Now I know many are gonna say things like "post a link to where I can by camera x for y amount of dollars". Like last time my answer is NO.
    Life is too short for me to do the work for you when I had to do it myself. If I see a good deal and post it here the camera is sold within 5 seconds and I have to look for another. So there is no point, you have to do the leg work.

    Two quick notes on the mysterious "Dream Camera".
    I'm not trying to be mysterious for some dramatic reveal. It's simply a case of me wanting to buy one before people start to Google it, ranking it up on eBay, getting in people's conscience with raised prices as a result.
    EDIT: got a question about this so I thought I might clarify.
    Im not trying to claim that my viewers would buy it, because they absolutely would not. No way. But they might google it, and thats what Im afraid of.
    Because that would rank it up in peoples search windows when they enter eBay and then it might in fact sell, "others interested in x also looked at y".
    And last time I checked there was 5 available world wide. Thats right, 5. Three of them where too expensive. So 2...
    Also I'm pretty sure most people guessing and discussing it will be pretty disappointed :)

    Always love your reviews Mattias. Your recommendations are really cool and it is always good to see that you look for the best in a camera and utilising them to their full potential. I collect a lot of film cameras as well as buying used digital. Probably my favourite purchase which you have recommended is the LX100 mark 1, which I feel is an amazing compact camera. Recently got myself a Sigma DP0 Quattro so am really keen to give that a try. Am really looking forward to see what you end up with next.

    Panasonic Leica XL 100. For many reasons, the first one being its cost. I use it professionaly all the time, very discreet in dangerous places, loaded with possibilities (too many in fact). Manual control at every level, good for me as I was trained in the argentic days. Superb Leica lens. The sensor size is adequate for almost every situation, and there are technical solutions when not. I rarely use the excellent 4K video mode, but it's there. I prefer this version to the mark II. There are perhaps better and more pricy cameras, but this one will get you almost anywhere. (I also use a Pentax spotmatic when using film, and a small Nikon in tricky situations). All the best for the new year, and keep up the good work.

    Mattias, you're the best proof I've seen that beautiful images have little to do with the gear. I think you could pull a great image out of almost anything. Whatever your dream camera is, I'm sure you'll have fun with it. But in many ways, you should be making videos on advanced photography, not gear. Too many people are tracking your equipment thinking that's the key to pictures as good as yours. And that has nothing to do with it. You're just a great photographer. Period. Thanks for the visual pleasure!

    I still have the original Fuji X-E1 and feel no real need to upgrade to the X-E2 or X-E3. It's easily "95%" of the X-E2s and about "90%" of the X-E3. The colors and sharpness are unbelievably good and holds well together.
    Honorable mention: SONY X100 Mk1 - the original is still 90% of what the new ones are at an affordable price. No overheating issues either.

    Hi Mattias,
    I really love watching your videos, as a former gear acquirer, I can see you put your kit to much better use than I ever did! Since not many people have access to this lens, I'm curious about how you rate the Leica 23mm for the TL/CL, particularly in terms of smoothness of bokeh? I shoot Fuji, and have found both the 23mm lenses they offer too busy in their bokeh, I print large and enjoy subtle smooth background blur in my work. If the upcoming Viltrox 23mm isn't right for me, I need to consider other options long term1
    Good luck on getting the dream camera! Mine's a Hasselblad X1D II!

  • @Nebeldiener

    I switched from m43 to Fuji APS-C. Started with a Lumix G6 in 2013, then switched to the G85 because it is weather sealed and the handling overall is much nicer. Sometime after that I wanted a camera purely for street photography and bought a GX850. The GX850 took awesome images but the camera was too small, so I bought a GX85 instead. The handling is great, the image quality is great but sadly this camera isn't weather sealed and Panasonic doesn't seem to be making a GX8 II anytime soon. Because of that I bought a used X-Pro 2 with the grip attachment and the 27mm pancake to test the Fuji system. To be honest I've never used my m43 gear since.
    Now I own an X-Pro2 with a 23mm f2 as my main street-setup, a 50mm f2 for longer reach, a 27mm pancake for its compactness, an X-H1 for everything else and have a 16-55 on the way. Couldn't be happier.
    Disclaimer: I want weather sealing because I like to have my cameras always ready and my X-Pro2 got dripping wet several times and has never failed me once.

    Intriguing list for sure! That Panasonic LX100 looks pretty cool. Speaking of the X-E line, you can get the original X-E1 used for DIRT cheap. I've seen some in great condition go as low as $125. The downside is that it has the first X-trans sensor as opposed to the X-Trans II found in the X-T1, but it's still a great sensor nonetheless! Also, I can't wait to see this dream camera of yours.

    Purely for the fun of speculating:
    The dream camera is in a higher price bracket than the Leica CL, but we may be disappointed. So:
    Leica Q ? Possible, focal length one of Mattias' favourites. But would he pair it with the same GR focal length? Doubt it.
    Sony Rx1Rii. High resolution sensor, built in Evf, fairly compact, classic focal length. But could Sony menus and ergonomics be anyone's "dream"? Nah, I don't think so. And I suspect with the GR in pocket, the dream camera won't be fixed lens.
    Leica M10-D . Distinct possibility. Different, bare bones, simple and minimalist. Mattias' loved his M8/M9 and the M10 series is the closest cmos to the ccd output Leica have had.

    Leica SL2. I'm thinking no, purely on size.
    Hassy X1Dii . Certainly fits the bill of upper price brackets! Bigger sensor, interchangeable lenses, premium brand, lots of resolution, reasonably compact for what it is.
    The problem with all of the above is that Mattias' interest wouldn't really drive prices up. So that makes me think it's something older, less common and less easily obtained . Possibly even a large format film camera or digital back?

    I can really relate to that. My quest for that more than 90% camera led me past an XF10, X-M1,-T10, -T2 and -T3 to owning nearly all the Fuji X-mount primes but using an X-100T due to the wonderful 16MP Sensor. I wonder whats next. The quest for a camera for rougher environments and event photography made me buy and sell my Z6 falling back to a DSLR. I wonder about the Leica and I, too, tend to buy used gear.

    Hi Mattias, I am tempted to buy a Leica T for a good price I saw online; but when I look at online photo samples on different websites (including DPreview) I find the picture quality disappointing. The problem is also that I got used to the amazing picture quality of my Sigma cameras (DP2 Quattro, DP1 Merrill) with a Foveon sensor, so when I compare the pics I take with those cameras to those taken even with way more expensive cameras I am very disappointed. Is there any good compact sized camera with or without interchangeable lenses which you would advise me to buy without breaking the bank? Thank you so much for your help and your great videos. Manu

    • @gearreallydoesntmatter
      @gearreallydoesntmatter  4 года назад

      That can beat a Foveon? Sorry, that ain't happening. You will have to trade IQ for speed, iso, handling, AF etc.

    • @manuelepasqualini1429
      @manuelepasqualini1429 4 года назад

      I actually thought what you just commented. A Foveon sensor is still hard to beat. Regardless of all the flaws my slow and not versatile Sigma cameras take really beautiful sharp pics. I hope camera makers started thinking of creating a totally different type of sensor.
      Thank you very much for getting back to me Mattias. You are a really nice guy, I enjoy watching your videos.
      I have another question for you. I am also looking at other 'cheaper'' Leika options like the M8 and the M9. Which one would you go for?
      The Leica Q with a fixed lens also look very good, but a interchangeable lens camera would probably be a better option.
      Thank you again Mattias!

    • @gearreallydoesntmatter
      @gearreallydoesntmatter  4 года назад

      I like the M8 maybe slightly more than my M9. But my M9-P was just lovely. Just make sure the M9 has had its sensor replaced, that is a must before buying one. The M240 is very close in price to the M9 these days, also worth considering.

    For my older cameras that I will keep, Fuji X-E1, X-E2, and a second X-E2 converted to full spectrum. I'm planning to do some Spring cleaning in March. It does feel good to let go of the items that are simply not being used anymore. I have at least seven lenses that either I don't use or have proven to not be able to deliver what I need for a given task.
    I doubt I will be disappointed with your choice of a "Dream Camera" because you know what is best for you - certainly not me. :) Hope you can get the camera at a good bargain price.
