Thank you all for watching. These next series of Vlogs will be just that, Vlogs. Not much about camera gear but if you were curious, I am using the ZV-E1 with the Sony 20-70mm F4 lens for this entire trip :) 😀
Couldn’t help myself had to give it a watch now! What’s crazy is that airport shot… I’m almost positive I sat in that exact seat a few hours after you and ate a burger 😂 Japan looks unreal, such a fun spot to film and buy camera gear!! Vlogging will never be dead, people like yourself are making it great again!! Looking forward to the next one my man 🫡
I appreciate you man. Fighting the good fight lol. When I saw your vid I thought that same thing. I'm like, " I bet we sat in the same seat". Crazy. Japan is nuts dude. If you have a chance you have to go. It's a vloggers dream. I wish I could have gone on my own TBH. I love my family but they restricted me quite a bit from capturing what I wanted to capture. I would probably need a month there.
@@noisackda2564 a great fight haha!! Wild man we gotta link up sometime soon in Toronto! But honestly I’m on the same page man, been a little tougher to film while being with my mother. Feeling quite restricted as well! But I’ve still managed to stockpile quite a few videos! Japan has been on my travel list forever, hopefully I can make it out there soon. Apparently they have some of the best powder snowboarding in the world, feel like a winter trip could be epic!
@@EvanLindy For sure man. Would love to meet up IRL. I feel we have the same interests, Not sure why I would think that haha. I was just looking at a video on Nagano and yeah man. Some amazing winter up there. Funny enough I'm more obsessed with Japan than I was before I visited.
Finally finished watching this. Japan looks amazing and you captured it so well! This one reminds me if my vacation vlogs. Specifally the end where you couldnt help but put that emotionL, nostalgic sounding tack. This is one you're going to watch years from now and fight back the old man tears.
Thank you Tim. This is exactly the reason I'm doing this. To me, this is priceless. To be able to document it all and relive these experiences. I think everyone should do it.
@@noisackda2564 same. I think that's why we do what we do. It's for us, but we also want others to share in the same joy we get out of researching, buying, learning and testing all of this gear. THIS is the why. All of the other stuff is fun, but sort of trivial. By the way, I love that your son and wife still hold hands. 😀
Beautiful vlog. Your edits are legit AF. Love your style. Did you end up seeing a UFO? Lol funny I'd be looking for one myself if I was flying. I love the Lut you use. Which one do you use?
@@noisackda2564 I love the phantom luts. That's what I use. And I seen a UFO pretty close when I was 17. Changed my life outlook lol. I believe the truth will come out in the next couple years.
@@jakenotfromstatefarm 😳 Serious!?! I'm jelly. I want to see one so bad!!!! Oh, you use phantom luts as well :P Disregard my note to you on your channel.
@@noisackda2564 hahaha what was your note? And it's not as cool as you think. No one will believe you everyone will think you were crazy. And only you will know the truth LMAO
@@jakenotfromstatefarm The note was on your last video haha. I'm used to people thinking I'm crazy. It's just one of those things I want confirmed before I bite the dust :P
Noi, loved the opening shot! While you say this is for your family, I feel like I'm learning how to vlog! Much respect for taking the time to setup all these shots! Yeah, since we live in Seoul, we've been to Japan three times in the last few years. We have always enjoyed our visits, very different than Korea for sure. You went at an affordable time for sure! I seriously love the colors you get from your cameras. Its like a "vintage" sort of theme. It seems like ZV-E1 was holding up well for you. I want to get a zoom lens for the ZV-E10....but holding off for now. At some point, I may convince myself to get into full frame. Yeah, the lax architecture laws back in the day combined with the super clean streets is a photographer/videographer's heaven! The last time I was in Japan last year, I bought a lens and a camera bag. It's impossible to leave Japan without some sort of camera equipment :P If I had a full frame, I agree the F2.8 16-35 is super sweet! When I was in Japan last, the Lumix S5 II announcement came out. The IBIS seems to industry leading. I really thought long and hard on that too. I've lived in Korea for over 5 years, and my Korean is sorely lacking, so I feel you on not speaking your language. It must have been pretty awesome to have 17 years go by since your last visit! Looks like you and the family were really enjoying your first day! Loved the vlog!
Hey man. Thanks so much! Every day I wake up I wish I was back in Japan. Camera culture is crazy there! If people were more social it would be the mecha for vlogging. Everyone is so into gear. I would love to go to Korea!I imagine it to be as interesting as Japan just different. I'm jealous really. I live in the boring suburbs of Canada. It's the reason why I don't vlog as much but I think in the new year I'm going to invest more in story and planning. That way I'm not really hampered by location. It will be the message that matters most. The amazing thing about full frame and especially the ZV-E1 is that it has one of the best Sony sensors and the best Sony stabilization tech. It's really an underrated camera. I'm using an F4 lens for this entire trip and even at night time and at F4 everything is still very clean. It's sort of mind-blowing. I couldn't get this with the E10 or FX30. For night time I would need an F1.4 at least to even come close to matching the ZVE1 at F4. Thanks for the insight and kind words.
@@noisackda2564 That's so good to hear you are planning on evolving on your RUclips path. Yeah, sometimes I feel like I have to take more advantage of living in Seoul 😂. Yeah, you should visit Korea sometime. I'm actually going to Japan in March, we are taking my brother-in-law for the first time! He's super excited! I gotta start selling my old gear to be ready to buy something at Shinjuku!!! Yeah, just hearing you talking about the full frame really makes me want one! However, I think I need to learn more about dialing in settings and picture profiles first. Having the ability to shoot video at night is the big reason I really gravitate towards it. Yeah, if the F4 can be clean, that F2.8 would be crazy!
@@TravelingAhn Yeah the thing is I was never interested in creating a "camera gear" channel. I just sort of fell in to it because I really like it. I'm more interested in personal vlogs but I also realize it's asking a lot out of people to dedicate time to caring about your personal life especially if you don't have an interesting life lol. It's a bit different when you turn your life in to a movie though, but that involves a lot of planning and scripting. I do get a lot out of vlogging like how I'm doing now. It has thought me how to be more articulate. Still a long way to go but I can actually see myself being able to speak quite well if I keep this up. I really really want to go to Korea! Like pretty badly lol. You're going to go so broke in Japan hahaha! Sounds like you are already anticipating it. I don't normally tell people this because I feel that there's very little difference filming on a FF camera vs an APSC camera, but I think you would really dig the ZV-E1. A couple of things. Stability and low light performance. If I could have only one set up and that's it. I would have the ZV-E1 and the Sony 16-35mm GM lens. I could film anything with this combo.
@@noisackda2564 Oh man.....I suppose that it is the dream setup for both of us :P Yeah, I think that RUclips gives us an opportunity to really go any direction that we want! While your interest lies in camera's, I think you have a natural story-telling skill that can't really be taught. When I first came upon your channel a year ago, I was trying to decide on Sony ZV-E10 or the FX30 and thought about waiting for the Panasonic Lumix SII. Your channel came up and I was actually quite interested in your style. I wasn't really doing anything with RUclips at the time...I was mildly attempting, but I found you intriguing (hahaha, that's weird...maybe it's a Asian connection) Anyways, If you do come to Seoul...Definitely HMU! I've found that as I get older it's much harder to form genuine friendships. But I think its also nice connecting with people like you because I sense we are close in age (hahaha, us older guys are few in number) RUclips certainly helps us to be more intentional in our communication. Prior to my RUclips endeavor's, I used to do ministry in churches, so I had years of public speaking. Don't worry, I'm not going to use this to proselytize (I saw your comment about not being religious) :P But I've found that RUclips is helping me be more free-flowing in how I communicate. When I shared messages in church, I literally wrote down verbatim the message and rehearsed 3-4 times before I preached. RUclips is a challenge for me because I just have to shoot from the hip per se :P My two-cents worth is that I would be interested to see more of your vlogs or however they evolve to. Anyways, hope you enjoyed time with your family and looking forward to what you create as the future unfolds!
@@TravelingAhn Thanks so much for the support. I do feel we are pretty similar in our interests lol. Probably because like you said, "Asian" Haha, but if I end up in Seoul I'll definitely hit you up. Would be super fun to run about and co-vlog.
Hey man I have personally said this to you via insta DMs. What an amazing creator you are dude! I always look forward to your uploads and stoked on this Japan adventure. Thank you for capturing and sharing this with us man. Those resi green and red herbs were soooo sick!!!!
I appreciate it man. Japan is like a magical dream, and yes those green and red herbs are genius. I wish we did crazy awesome things like this over here.
Great vid dude! Question for ya. Are you still using the zv-e1? If so, have you experienced any overheating while shooting? I'm jumping back and forth between a few of the new releases, and would love to know! Thanks d00d! 😁😎
Hey man! Thank you! I've experienced zero overheating. Japan was pretty hot and it did well. My shooting style is very pop-and-go though. If you shoot for something like 10 min at a time you may run into issues.
Haha loved that Saitama reference - I was only missing the mosquito :D Watching your first Japan VLog just through me back to 2018 when I visited Tokio for the first time. Such a great city and when my daughters getting older we will travel to Japan as a family trip at some point :) Really enjoyed your vlog and the footage you captured. Brilliant quality thanks to your ZV E1 + 20-70mm F4 combo, but still keeping it raw and therefore real (and that stabilization of the ZV E1 is just crazy good). And these camera stores would also make me damn poor :D. I tested and used a lot of cameras already, although I'm just an hobbiest, but I just having fun playing around with cameras. And the incentive in Japan to shop for used gear is definitely big ... (although next week a new camera will arrived at my door ... poor bank account xD) Did you get your Fuji X-E4 in Japan?
You got the One Punch Man reference hahaha! Amazing! Thanks so much again for all the support and the kind words. I feel we are very similar :P Now I'm curious what camera you got. Post it ASAP! and no I did not get the X-E4 here :( Fuji cameras are impossible to find in Japan. That's what made me want it even more. But Japan made me realize I need a good dedicated photo camera.
@@noisackda2564 haha I feel the same, guess we would have a long fun conversation, if we could meet in person 😁 Good for you dipping into photography. I initially started my interest regarding cameras because of video but somehow it turned out I enjoy photography more (at least for now). Curious to see your X-E4 / Fuji experience video 🤗 And regarding my new gear I will tell you my friend :) After Canon, Sony, Fujifilm and Leica I now ordered my first Nikon camera. The Zf. Somehow I’m gravitating towards these retro designs 😀 And I’m planning some videos about it 😇
@@IntrovertAmateur Yeah we would get along very well haha. I love retro cameras!! I'm a bit sad that my X-E4 is the all-black one :( I really wanted the silver one but oh well. I'm liking the Fuji camera a lot! Still, suck at photography but I am interested to use it so that's a good sign :)
Thank you all for watching. These next series of Vlogs will be just that, Vlogs. Not much about camera gear but if you were curious, I am using the ZV-E1 with the Sony 20-70mm F4 lens for this entire trip :) 😀
Did you use dynamic stabilization?
@@two_weeks_of_fog Yes but it doesn't seem to be working too good in a lot of the shots haha. Totally usable still IMO
Your hair is fine
It was weird for a couple of days and then it grew in a bit haha, but thank you :)
Love this style of vlogs man! The color grading on the airport scenes was 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much. You just reminded me I have a lot of footage from Japan left. I should compile another Japan video :)
I love your videos. Captures life as it is! No bs and great quality everytime.
Thank you. I'm glad the honesty is coming through. I work hard on it actually :)
