A very poor and cheap mic not worth the money at all. I plugged it into a Tascam DR-05X, Zoom H4N and Canon M50. Since its only analog the sound dows not fo over -20 to -35 dB. Here is the answer from Comica directly: Answer 1: In analog mode, it cannot reach the -20db or above you require. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will feed this back to our team. Answer 2: Dear friend, Tascam DR05X and Zoom H4N both have 3.5mm input interface (analog), VM10PRO can only reach -35db in analog mode. You can connect VM10PRO to devices that support digital input, such as a Type C jack laptops and phones. In digital mode, VM10 PRO's range is -15db~-35db.

Hi thanks for this video. I even know about this lens... could you send me link for this lens 😊 thx

Thanks for a great video. Very inspiring. Well spoken. 🙏💪

bro this preset is free or paid ?

I just got the SL2 about three months ago but this is my main work camera and I feel a little more secure with it staying at the studio. I am in need for a second body and I am seriously thinking about the original SL typ 601 for my EDC photography. I absolutely love the SL2 and I want to use my current lenses with a second body so I probably go for a used one at around 1200usd. I think it would be an awesome EDC for me even after almost 10 years of it's release. I would love of course a M system for my EDC needs but the price difference is huge and the SL type 601 is looking like a great choice now. I didn't feel attracted to the SL system at first but I absolutely love it now.

This is helpful.

Maybe it's personal taste to white balance from white, but the correct way would be to white balance from grey.

How can I find the full length video to this?

You have a fantastic little setup. I have the same but I bought the A7CR just because. Hell of a reason. Guess I like to spend money. I also use these lenses on my a6700. Not one to use a Leica, been more a Pentax and Nikon fanboy in the film world in the 70s and 80s. Also my job in the military as a staff member of a few base newspapers, we used Nikon F2s. But in the digital world starting in 2019, I went full Sony. Unless you have shot film cameras for 30 years, you missed out on an interesting time in photography. I carry all my knowledge and experiences right into the digital world. Not too much different except for all those buttons, EVF and 3-inch monitor. I shoot as a hobby now, so my days as a PJ are long gone, but not forgotten. When I hear people complain about the quality of images, I blame them. I got great images from a 1970s Pentax Spotmatic F. I get great images from my Sony's. It's the person, not the camera. In jest, the best camera made sits in my drawer, the Nikon F2/A/AS. To think that this camera evolved from the earlier Nikon S, which was a copy of the Leica at the time. Now we have cameras, and that's about it.

Where can I get one of those ?

Great video! Thank you so much!

Your presets work for Lightroom mobile?

Great! Thank you so much!

Grreat video. I never knew about this lens. I have the 90mm macro uts superb but i need a shorter focul length for tight spaces and overhead

Agree with your commentary. I was slow to adopt the A7CII, as an A7RV shooter but completely agree with rangefinder viewfinder body. I definitely prefer it.

thanks for the body position tip

Interesting video.. Thanks for sharing. I take everybody's KZbin opinion on gear with a grain of salt. You know what I do ? I listen to and trust MY gut instinct...and then I make a decision. A decision to purchase something, and then go outside and shoot with it. No talking in the comments, no opinions staying in limbo, no NON-BUYING and just yapping, I see it...I get it...I shoot it. I tuned out all the hoopla and buzz and noise and hate, saw something(s) in the S9 that I personally like and work for ME, and I'm outside with it. And TBH it's been great, some of the most fun I've had shooting a camera in a LONG time. Nobody made that happen for me, not YT, not Gerald, nobody lol. And I think that's what we need to get back to. Trusting our own instinct and standing on our own two feet. And if we do wanna let an opinion nudge us or steer us away from something, make sure that opinion is worth something.. An opinion from someone who is really outside shooting, and not just behind a desk or at a table with a light.

So original…

Beautiful pictures especially the portraits of that child are stunning …! Would you say the fd is as sharp as the ef 85 mm f 1.2 II so the only difference is that the ef has AF? Are you still enjoying Fuji or back to full frame?

I owned 139Q, 167MT and Aria bodies: excellent workhorses.

How do you like it? It makes me think of the Imamba from Arno Bernard but cheaper.

Very good channel 🤩‼️ good job ! 1 subscriber more 😉 bye from France 😊

IMO the RX is the best of the lot.

Can’t wait to get mine 😅

Incredible! What LUTS or Lightroom Preset did you use for the images at 5:16? If they’re yours, please share a link to get them :)

How to get this preset?

Great Video!!

I am glad you did this comment review I use the Leica stuff too. Great Undone came apart in his comment review. The most interesting part of His comment review is the recent birth of his son. I think that is the second child in his family. A lot of new stress for Gerald.

Christ this has been a problem since 2009, its funny how people act like "oh its a problem now, oh finally someone talked about it" LOL, God I miss the good old DPReview and DigitalRev, at least they had hair on their balls back then.

picked up a GR on ebay last month after thinking about it for years.. best decision i ever made

This is an old video, but would you mind telling which adaptor did/do u use to mount this lens on the GFX? Thx.

We'll said.

It seems to me that manufacturers and youtube reviewers underestimate the ability of customers and viewers to exercise discernment and good judgement when evaluating what they watch and buy. There is a lot of word of mouth honest critique by those customers and users also if one seeks it out.

Great video Joe, I feel exactly the same DSLR type vs range finder type.

The KZbin problem has been here for years now when it comes to camera KZbinrs. Soon as camera KZbinrs become influencers that's when they become sellers. The content become a person just talking to the camera about gear instead of them showing how they used the gear. They became the product. Spend more times getting thier looks rights then actually using the gear they want to to review. Creative content is slowly fading and the look at me content has taken over .

Some of us did not know they were taking trips on the company’s dime. Regardless of any feelings against Gerald once he pointed out that people were losing access to future cameras it became all too clear you could no longer trust said reviewer. In my mind Gerald is not above that criteria but understanding what he exposed changes a lot for me and my subscription list. My anger at certain reviewers is truthfully due to getting burned by these shill reviews. This video is great thank you for just being honest and talking to us straight. Many of these people who got exposed are now dancing around it , trying to misdirect what it really is. I will not be surprised if we start now getting the same old apologist themed videos when it’s clear the truth hurt.

The funny thing is that this Lumix S9 probably is a "gamechanger" in many ways not just in what they did with the camera but the whole hype of all of this. I hope it makes people look at Lumix cameras. They seem to be very underrated. The S5II is an excellent camera.

Great Video!

Can it be used as a key light?

Ive seen Geralds video. To me, it came off as vindictive to me. I love his channel, but his review reminded me of the ex-bf breaking up with the ex-gf and then dishing drama on social media. I didnt see the need for it. I own both Sony and Panasonic cameras so there is no bias in what Im saying. He had a choice and turned the trip. And it wouldnt surprise me if Sony gave him a kickback for dissing Panasonic because of the massive release that Lumix pitched. Whatever the case, Panasonic is now the most talked about camera band of the year so far and Sony isnt because of videos like this one. Drama breeds drama and it seems its what you all want. Whatever happened to just enjoying a camera???

This camera has only one truly good feature which is the open gate recording. Every other aspect of the camera is terrible or on par with its competitors. I’ve seen the same reviewers who say how baffling recording limits are in 2022-present day is baffling, only to then completely gloss over the recording limits for the S9. IMO this camera is more comparable to smartphones if you ignore the open gate recording. It’s perfect for nobody because it’s use case is so specific to short form media creators who… would benefit more from a good phone camera…. Which they already have…..

I don’t think there’s any problem with the situation around the Lumix S9. Why? because this is one of the first times we are in a modern era with Lumix, usually known for making cameras destined to professionals, now catering to… let’s say the mainstream. And now what we’re seeing is professionals being upset that a new camera that isn’t for them doesn’t fit their needs. It feels like those professionals were expecting the S9 to be more akin to the S5II while costing less, and that is simply not possible. I feel like if Panasonic wanted to make a no compromise compact version of the S5 they would’ve named it something with S5 in it, the S9 is another product and a new kind of product that is not aimed at professionals. So of course, when those creators were invited to Japan to talk about this camera, what Panasonic wants is for people to be aware of its existence and the best way to do that is to invite content creators/influencers to talk about it. But I guess they weren’t expecting them to project their professional mindset onto that camera and end up confused. In my opinion as an amateur photographer, the S9 is fine, and I’m looking forward to see more videos on it so that I can decide if it’s a good candidate to replace my Fuji X100T. That’s my take.

That’s literally some recent released lens filters by PolarPro. Every KZbinrs claim they are game changers without explaining solid reason.

Wich UV filter do you use for that kit?

its not just gear either. like youtube movie critics that shill for movies for early access. disney was notorious for this

8:57 please allow me to disagree! Viewers are the problem! People don’t want to spend time doing their own research. People want instant gratification. On KZbin you’ll hear everywhere productivity this or productivity that, and too many are buying in it. It’s your money, your choice then why should it someone else to take the blame for your choice (generally the bad one)? Why aren’t people going in the camera store, touch the camera, feel by themselves, take the time to read the manual, and more importantly practice to learn the gear? No camera or gear for the matter is perfect. And no gear will ever be perfect. They are all tools design for a specific functions and demographic (particular group of users). Why all camera coming out should be for you, your needs, your workflow, etc…? Why if a camera doesn’t have the features you need or are looking for, it’s a bad camera? I’ve heard a guy reviewing the S9 for professional wedding filmmakers as himself he is a wedding professional filmmaker! Have this camera be built for this segments of user? Obviously not! It’s like a computer technician reviewing a spoon and saying this spoon is bad because I cannot fix my customer computer with it!

Why should KZbinr be the bad guys here? Why is it all time someone else fault, someone else to take the blame? Why isn’t it the viewers fault? Me, you and everyone else making buying decisions based on KZbin videos? The whole system is build for one and one thing: make Google make more money! And even this drama will contribute to help KZbin make more money. KZbin is free because we viewers are the products on that platform! If you pay KZbin subscription then you’re buying Google products and are less a product yourself. People might be seeing your work and KZbin channel and might not consider it as valuable enough for them (no offence), so the real question you should ask as a KZbinr is how much values am I bringing for the growth of those actors in the camera industry? And that doesn’t mean you’re doing a bad job, or your content mediocre, just for them there is not much value there to help them grow their business! (Again no offence)

The issue here is more profound. There are so many parties in play here: pro KZbinr, fan boy, influencers, camera company, small KZbinr and all the viewer who think KZbinrs owns them anything in the first place! And all those groups of peoples have their own interest. Camera manufacturers want people to say nice things of their products, this have all time been and will all time be and it’s called marketing. Pro KZbinrs have bills to pay, fan boys have their preferred brand to protect like if they were in religion or politics, and viewers are getting lazy! All this drama is fun to watch but will not solve this problem as it’s the whole system which need to be reviewed, and no one want to do that, attack the beast which is social media with all those actors.

well it is not that bad... Kai Wong, Gordon Laing and Chris Nicholls's reviews are both balanced, and if you watch carefully, you can see that they all believe the camera is a failure. I am a big fan of lumix. I love its ergonomics and color science. But I certainly believe they designer of lumix g100, g9 ii, lumix s9 should be fired.
