George, you're a legend. I bought my first ever camera (Canon G9) a few months back after seeing your earlier vid. I was just fiddling around with the settings and charging it up before my trip to Japan tomorrow when I see this pop up on my feed. The tips should help me make the most of my Japan snaps. Cheers G
George your videos are super creative. Your Brilliant and Cleverly illustrated examples of being Pixelated cracked me up and won me over to wanting to follow you for how intelligent you are at creating content for the rest of us!
I think it's way too easy to get obsessed with gear reviews and upgrades and forget the ultimate truth of photography: The most compelling, evocative, and memorable images are rarely (if ever) the technically perfect ones- and a photo made by a person with a well-trained artistic eye and solid creative vision will trump one made by someone on a 100mp camera 10 times out of 10. Further, if you apply the same principle to cameras of the same generation from several years ago, there's still a difference. For example, my 2010 Nikon D3100 with a 14.2 mp crop sensor got better shadows, better low light, and far less ISO noise than my 18 mp crop sensor 2013 Canon EOS Rebel SL1. But most importantly, I've used both of those cameras almost daily for a decade and still sell professional fine art quality images from them. Now I shoot mostly with the EOS 70D at 20 mp. There is no discernible difference in image quality- I upgraded the body for certain other features like the tilting screen. The photographer is always going to be more important than the gear. Please keep encouraging people away from their gear obsessions and redirect them to just go and make more photos. That's the only way to become a great photographer. Channels I highly recommend for exploring the true philosophy and artistry of photography (and get people over their fixation on the latest and greatest gear) are Sean Tucker and The Photographic Eye. Also, just look at the work of photographers like Saul Leiter, Sergio Larrain, Tina Modotti, and Dianne Arbus. They weren't shooting on a Sony A7 and yet their images remain iconic decades later. Technical perfection is overrated. If you MUST spend money on something, buy great lenses. I can't recommend the Sigma Art and Tokina Opera series lenses enough... and if you're down for manual focusing, Samyang makes beautiful, fast manual lenses at lower prices than everything else in their class. The 85mm f/1.4 is absolutely gorgeous. For lightweight, walk-around zoom lenses at fixed apertures, the Tamron 17-50 and 28-75mm f/2.8 lenses are beautiful, reasonably sharp, and can be bought for great prices on the secondhand market.
Hi Would love To use my G11 more but my music aggregator (Amuse) needs bigger pics than this camera can take:( , I need to use my pics on my music releases
Hey Large person - thank you for that; a nicely put together piece of work that, incidentally, included some stuff useful to me. If there was one thing you didn't put in the vid (unless i missed it) it was mentioning the importance of composition and framing when shooting Low-Res - the cropping thing - and that's another reason for taking the time to set up. And that thought, or the problems associated, is a big part of why i do most of my shooting with zooms - it's far quicker to zoom to get a composition that doesn't need a crop than it is to run twenty metres to find a better vantage point for a rapidly evolving opportunity. Such are the problems solved by 40 or 50MP sensors that allow you to throw away two-thirds of the image and still be convincing. Cheers and all the best.
@@GeorgeHolden Obviously, it's an important consideration if you want to shoot l'scape, wildlife or fast action - shooting with a Low-Res camera places significant limitations on what you can do with the image. That said, I'm going to try your advice out with upscaling a couple of images via Luminar - it's one use for AI that I don't really object to, mainly because it has the potential to maintain the usefulness of older camera bodies (like I shoot!). Cheers, loud person.
Love the vids George, so many of my friends are interested in getting a camera when they see me out shooting -- i always tell them, just go steal the old p&s from your house, i'm sure your mom or dad had one! Low res digicams are great!
Thanks! And yes totally agree, my friends are confused when they see me with older kit because they expect high end stuff, I use new kit for work but in my spare time love some old point and shoots!
Better yet, you can grab either of the two DSLRs I mention here for $150 on MPB and because everyone is fixated on mirrorless tech, you can pick up amazing DSLR lenses on the secondhand gear market for a song as well.I think it's way too easy to get obsessed with gear reviews and upgrades and forget the ultimate truth of photography: The most compelling, evocative, and memorable images are rarely (if ever) the technically perfect ones- and a photo made by a person with a well-trained artistic eye and solid creative vision will trump one made by someone on a 100mp camera 10 times out of 10.

Thank younfor this video! I’m going on a trip and I’m going to apply these principles on my Sony ZV-1. Trying to force myself not to bring my Sony a6000 and my f/1.4 lenses.
I used a PowerShot when I 1st got into photography years ago, it was hard to learn to stay back from butterflies at 9 or 10 but when I started getting really good with it nothing could stop me, it was a 1.2mp camera and I have many keeper photos I just wish I knew to capture RAW+JPEG so I could go back in today and make those photos better.
First time viewer and an interesting video. Content is always king, no matter what type of camera you have. I have an image of a cricket ball on a batsman's bat with a 4mp, awfully slow camera because I prefocussed and anticipated. I remember when they brought out the original Canon 5D, 12.7mp. At the time it was that it surpassed 35mm film in quality. I bought one plus I have the G9 and used it with an underwater housing and it takes great images. There is no doubt that a responsive, high megapixel camera can get you images that, for instance, a G9 cannot. However, if you have an eye for composition and anticipate the action you can produce wonderful images that a klutz with a Nikon Z9 could not.
This is a great video for me as I’ve been dusting off my old Fuji X10 but shooting in 6 MP mode because that’s the only way to get an ISO range starting at 100 with a dynamic range of 400% (just a quirk of the old processor).
I use the g7 nowadays instead of my sony a6000. G7 is slow, got 10mpxs, but somehow I always pick up this tiny old camera when I go out. You just have to compose the pic first and wait for the people to walk into the frame.
I have a 20 year old original Canon G5 which has 5MP. It takes super photos with great colour. I was recommended to get it all those years ago by a guy in the Lake District who sold his photos professionally. I print to A3 and people often beg prints off me and have them framed. I have 5 other cameras, but I believe it is the photographer who makes the shot, not the camera.
Thanks Peter! Just so you know when you comment the same thing on two videos you get flagged as spam, would always say comment on the most viewed video if you want people to see it! I see them either way 😊
What I really like about your street photography is that you actually put people into your framed shot! Imagine that.... I've seen so many photographers out for a day of street photography who actually wait for people to leave the shot. What?? When you do that, emotion leaves your photograph. I know you have to be brave, and bold, and ready to explain what you're doing but I think it's necessary. Thanks for the pics!
>canon G9X >low resolution *laughs in 6MP* Seriously though, my whole journey with street photography started with randomly encountering your channel and digging up a forgotten 6 megapixel Canon PowerShot S3 IS from the wardrobe. I freaking love this thing. Even though I plan to upgrade to a full frame (M42 ftw!) I am definitely keeping the old one as well as a semi-pocketable every day carry camera.
Another great video George. I still enjoy pulling out my Nikon D100, Fujifilm S3 Pro or my Panasonic Lumix ZS3. Love the older CCD sensors. I downloaded a trial version of Luminar NEO yesterday and can't get it to work. My computer is only a few years old and "should" work. I saw that someone posted with a similar problem and his computer was dusty inside causing performance issues. He cleaned it up and everything worked fine. I'm hoping that will fix my problem. The software looks good but can't use it right now. Fingers crossed. Thank you.
Thanks Lawrence! That's great to hear, and I hope that you can solve the issue and give it a try. Some features are fairly hardware intensive while other use online plugins, good luck!
I don't know if you have any Fujifilm camera but grab a x10 or x30, i use them for street photography since 2018, i have a X-T5 and still prefer to take the x10 or the x30 for a walk around the city.
This was my first REAL digital camera and I loved it. However it suffered from the Black Death but I think my daughter had it fixed. Maybe ask if I can have it back (paying her at least for the repair). Got a LUMIX DMC-TZ60 as a backup. But being a Canon-guy …. 🙄
Some of the greatest photographers who ever lived had to shoot slowly, because they shot on film. Just look at the still photography Stanley Kubrick shot before he became a filmmaker. With a slow camera, you have to set up and then let the shot happen. That's a skill all photographers should have. So, buy an old camera and slow down! LOL! ;-) BTW, nice video, George! Keep up the good work! 🙂
@@GeorgeHoldenI'm old school, George. I learned how to shoot on film cameras, both still and motion picture cams. With film, you either think about what you're shooting before you hit the shutter or you go broke quickly. LOL! That definitely motivates you to shoot slower. LOL! 😆
I'm currently in my final year of a photography degree and one of the cool things I've learned was about pixels and how many I need for what I do. It feels so freeing to step back from all the marketing hype and understand that my 22-megapixel camera is not only plenty for me but also better than having more. 😀
Here's an inconvenient truth .... The demand for the Fuji X100V (and now the VI) has excessively hiked the price of very average cameras like the G9. Nobody gave a damn about old compact cameras 5 years ago. They were dirt cheap. They were £100 but now they go for 2x and 3x that. I'm not paying 300 quid for a tiny old sensor (I have an S120 camera with a similar sensor, same as the G16 in fact 7.44 x 5.58 mm). I can buy a Canon 5D mk2 for £300 FFS!!! Stick a 40mm f/2.8 pancake on it (£80) and it knocks spots off an old G-series. 100 Quid? Buy one. 300 quid? No chance. It was £500 over 10 years ago.
Is Luminar Neo a purchase of the program or the dreaded subscription which is more expensive like Lightroom? If the latter, do you know how many devices the license is for? Up resolution & denoise look like valuable functions. They can breathe new life into old cameras. In my case, not the Canon G9 (not to be confused with the Panasonic G9) but the Panasonic LX7. A G9 era 1/1.7” sensor with a fast zoom lens. This program seems to perform magic. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Luminar Neo is a one time purchase for a 10 year license, so the value does beat other regular subscriptions however it's not a lifetime subscription. Definitely worth trying out to see what it can do for you!
Regardless of whether the resolution of camera photos is 33 million pixels or 24 million pixels, they cannot fill an 8k screen. When viewed on a 4K monitor, the image will be displayed as a thumbnail because the image is too large, causing visual image details to be distorted and blurred. It's all useless crap resolution. The best and clearest photo specification is a 3840*2160 photo taken directly from a Panasonic camera or DJI Pocket 3. The clearest image is displayed point-to-point full screen on a large 4K TV. What you really need is a camera that can directly take 3840*2160 photos.
Lol @ "upgrading". I find myself shooting with ever older digital cameras. Old is the new new for me. I "upgrade" to lower resolution, older cameras all the time. It is the "character" I am looking for, and new ones are strangely lacking. Everything is just too clean, too smooth, too fast. Boring, really.
@@thenexthobby People with baby faces. You live in an unreal world. I can use this program for free. I can also download and pay if I want. Here's what's real. England has gone into recession, and it is unknown when it will come out. Germany is actively losing its industrial base. And now they are trying to send you all to slaughter.

Back in 2002 I toured the UK with a Canon Digital Elph, which is a 2.1 MP camera. I was happy with the results.
