There is a weird overlapping clip of golf swing just after Chelsea talks about instant cameras. Hope you guys had a great holiday!

[@lancairdriver]

yeah, goes on for 10 seconds or so

[@aliendroneservices6621]

18:52

[@AlfonzoBReese]

Tony puts in mistakes on purpose for engagement posts just like this lol

[@FGGiskard]

This

[@paulhancock]

Good job it was just a clip about rolling shutter and not a 'home video'...

[@mikebrownhill4662]

I'm a simple man - all I want is Arca Swiss compatible feet on ALL newly announced big lenses - especially primes! It's not much to ask, but some of us have been asking for decades. As far as I can tell, only the Olympus 150-400 f4.5 offers this - and it's not a particularly "big" lens, nor is it a prime. I know it's a niche request, but it's also simple and much needed.

[@bingbong4848]

18:55 Ed: I think you left a rogue clip on the timeline about r5 rolling shutter

[@michaeljohannsen4872]

😂 whoops

[@GlennSchultes]

Yes @ 19 min mark

[@paulhancock]

That confused me for a second... I thought I'd opened another window by accident!

[@JW77]

Reminds me of the old days when we recorded over old VHS tapes and left some oopsies

[@Hellseeker1]

lol, get em!

[@falxonPSN]

Your Johnny Carson skills were on point today Tony!

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

This intro is amazing! 😂 Honestly should have followed through for all brands and called it a YT short.

[@Steven_Loy]

As someone of Tony's generation (I watched Carson as a teenager as well), I loved the opening bit - but Chelsea's utter bewilderment is so on point and timely!! 🤣🤣

[@SamRino]

Nice job guys !! Love the Johnny Carson bit lol 😂

You need the Johnny Carson Carnac turban

[@smaakjeks]

Tony knows his audience of boomers who can afford cameras in 2025 :D

[@BabyEleven11]

Hey guys there seems to be something wrong at 18:53 hopefully its a quick fix.

[@flightscapeaviationphoto]

The Carnack reference ... I'm ☠🤣🤣🤣🤣 --- I'm old enough to remember. Carson was hilarous

[@lionheart4424]

[@jakilahmoulien9070]

add a kick and a bass line and that's the cherry on top!

[@HaiDHaiYena]

But then gets demoted for 18:53

[@markrossi5721]

I agree with Chelsea about the urgent need for anti-theft with tracking features being integrated into cameras (even less expensive models) in the very near future. Even entry level cameras (and many lenses) are worth enough to motivate thieves to steal them.

[@PaulFoguenne]

Thank you for your work. Happy New Year 2025!

[@joshuadavis4730]

I remember Carnac! Good memories of when I fought to stay up late. Now I fight to go to bed early. I guess we are old...

Since I only starting watching in July 2024, it was fun listening to what was happening back at the end of 2023. Thanks.

[@chasing-liberty]

I am loving the recent videos with drunk Tony he is cracking me up, 😂😂 great job guys loving it ❤

[@LOLA6ifyable]

18:53 , Nice Mix with R5 II

[@Mamo878]

Canon is BIG and aggressive, even invading Tony & Chelsea's videos now!

[@giorgiogarcanni6754]

You guys are fantastic 😁

[@PWingert1966]

Oh that deer in the headlights look! Its priceless!

[@DynamixWarePro]

Why there is no Panasonic predictions? What I'd like to see is Blackmagic allowing internal BRAW on Panasonic cameras, especially since Blackmagic is part of the L-Mount alliance. Maybe DJI releasing a L-Mount camera since they are also part of the L-Mount alliance. Hoping for a Lumix S1H II in 2025.

[@Digmen1]

I'm a Nikon fan boy and I'm hoping for more than the Z9ii later this year. I bought a zfc for my g/f as she loves vlogging, but she does not use it. She just made me buy her a DJI Pocket 3 and she loves it. Its teaching her things that she never knew about - like frame rate . I am surprised by how many features it has and as you say, its menus are very easy to use. Also Like you I think that if DJI made a Full frame camera (using say a L mount lenses) they could clean up with their easy to transfer the images to your mobile phone.

[@By_Rant_Or_Ruin]

Whoops, audio after 18:30 was mixed with a volume issue. But as usual the rest of the video was of excellent quality and information. Thanks for the video.

[@aps5150]

Hoping for an a7v that brings the a7R's fancy screen. Losing faith in Canon but the rumors of the R6iii look good!

[@Fredparreira78]

That bit established Tony is twice Chelsea's age...

[@Filmmaking-on-a-budget]

There's nothing wrong with that. To each his own. They are both grown adults who are doing very well.

[@thebendu33]

He's not twice here age, he's 50 and she's 38.

He can afford it.

Chelsea has never watched Carson. She is missing out. KZbin has rerun clips of Carson now with great guest stars of TV and movies.

For me the Sony a7V will be the most important new gear in 2025.

[@reneeschke]

how did they not mention it?!

[@unclefart5527]

I'd rather see them throw their ergonomics across the line in the dumpster and come up with a camera we can hold without un-knowingly changing settings.

[@reneeschke]

@@unclefart5527 what?

[@Jerrysworld23]

@@unclefart5527 My little finger cries every time I pick up my Sony😂

[@paulhancock]

Tony is right to keep predicting/hoping for an Android-based camera. I think Zeiss talked about one but it was EXTORTIONATELY expensive and never happened. Regardless, it's the logical direction of things especially when ALL photographers start on a smartphone nowadays, and use apps... Not endless clunky menus and loads of buttons. Cameras are stuck in the past tech-wise, from the perspective of a young person. Sony could do an Alpha/Xperia collab tomorrow, maybe a new RX1 with a big rear screen, built-in editing apps e.g. Lightroom Mobile, full frame sensor and fixed lens. It would sell absolutely bucket loads but they're dragging their feet. Anyway, I'm with you Tony. It might only be me and you... But I'm with you. One day we'll see our Android camera body, hopefully before we die but it's looking 50/50.

[@hammarbytp]

I have a Galaxy camera, which is the last time it was tried, and in some ways it is fantastic, but the camera functions feel not core to the experience and you require a large screen which reduces space for physical buttons

[@truckerzachbell]

@@hammarbytp now what if Nikon would do this on a proper sports camera like the Z1, an Android powered version of the Z9?

[@dhlininger3159]

Got the Carnac reference on the second envelope. One of my favorite Carson bits, an incredibly funny man.

[@ProfessorStone]

I predict in 2025 T & C videos will be edited better without cuts of overlapping clips, better lighting, and better focus in their videos 😂 love you guys, I think you were in a rush (or the weird "retro" intro messed up the later edit?) Even the 1080p looks unsharp. If I produced like you all I'd have some blips too, no shade.

[@grahamjgreen]

If anyone made an Android-based camera, I could see it being DJI, they already use it for the controllers on their drones.

[@JorgeLausell]

I want a Pentax mirrorless! "Dream On!"

[@corykphotography]

I've imagined this so many times. That or a Ricoh interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. Either name they want to use could step into the mirrorless world.

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

I just bought a DJI drone during black Friday sales last year (2023). Finally opened it a month and a half ago and flew it once and now we have all this drone craziness and I don't want to bring it out.

[@HyperAI-x]

Heads up! You guys have an odd clip inserted at 18:52

[@csadler]

Carnac the Magnificent for cameras. Love it.

[@GemmaHentsch]

There’s definitely a market space for a pro aps-c body, with pre capture, 2 card slots and a stacked sensor from Sony… but I almost get the impression that they like being able to overcharge for the 6700 (which is a great camera, just overpriced as an a6400 replacement)

[@emmanuelowolabi324]

I'd absolutely love it if y'all could do another of those $500 to $1000 full frame camera kit challenges. I'm a uni student trying to save up to get a canon 5d iii with an 85mm 1.8, for graduation portrait photos which are mostly in the evening, then street portraits videos on tiktok, but the price of that kit mehn🫠

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

If Hasselblad would release a proper digital x-pan i would literally loose my mind.

[@JohnSwen-p6b]

Thank you for the posting. As a Canon shooter I am all set with cameras, but there are 2-3 new lenses that would get my potential interest including a 1:1 macro zoom, RF DO telephoto lens, RF telephoto zoom (200-500 mm f4?).

[@Thiran]

No mention of panasonic? xD no love for my boy lumix.

[@DynamixWarePro]

I could easily be wrong but I wonder if the lack of mentioning Panasonic is potentially a hint at a new upcoming Lumix camera that they possibly had early access to and are under an embargo not to talk about it? They did mention OM Systems, even it was only like like a joke at the start.

[@peteevans8150]

I want Tony to have his hopes and dreams back.

[@davidhaseley953]

I suggest that you start a letter writing campaign asking viewers to write to Sony asking for security features on cameras. You have 1.64 million subscribers, if 10% write a letter to Sony asking for security features, that would be 160,000 letters being sent into Sony. It would be worth the effort!

[@psills]

Hasselblad 907X & CFV 150C with in-body stabilization!

[@AllenTweed]

You should have a 3 camera challenge! For example, I use a D850 for landscapes, a A6600 for everyday carry, and a OM1 with a 150-400 for wildlife...

[@rga66]

I personally would like to see a Sony A7M5 with a stacked BSI 40 to 45mp sensor, 15fps mechanical, the A7RV's screen, AI autofocus chip, a very high definiton and very very fast EVF... 4K video up to 120 without crop and an effective IBIS... Which would be the perfect do it all camera for most people, specially with the hundreds of amazing lenses available for the system !

[@BryceShamwow]

Wouldn't that just be the A1 mark 2? Seems like they should try to match the Z8 for that one. Sensor from the A1, no mechanical shutter at all, same EVF, flippy screen from the A7R5 since everyone likes it, body from the A9M3 since everyone likes that. They should be able to do that and match the price of the Z8.

[@pentagramyt417]

Ok, now delete from that things: Stacked sensor, 4K120k without crop (probably won't be at all, maybe just 4k60 without crop), IBIS max 6.5 stops, no fully articulated screen as in A7RV/A1M2/A9M3. What will be: BSI CMOS, or Partialy Stacked sensor, ~15fps, AI chip, maybe pre-capture. Nothing else. It will be 1k$ more expensive than A7IV, around the same price as A7R5. That are my predictions.

[@BryceShamwow]

@@pentagramyt417 The thing is, the flippy screen is something that doesn't add much cost and people like it, and the Z8 is a big competitor. And if it doesn't have a stacked sensor, it can't compete with that camera. A lot of people are waiting to see if Sony is going to give their customers something good that acknowledges that the competition is beating them, and if they don't, a whole lot of their customers are just going to get a Z8 and leave the Sony ecosystem for good.

[@BryceShamwow]

@@pentagramyt417 That won't compete with the Z8. The problem is that that's what Sony needs to match at this point. It's FAR cheaper than the A1 and close to its capabilities in many ways: precapture, low rolling shutter video, 8K video, stacked sensor. If they release an A7V that has the specs you mention, it won't be worth buying. Lots of Sony owners will switch to Nikon in that case. I might even do so.

[@pentagramyt417]

@@BryceShamwow But Z8 if flagship, A7 series are ENTRY levels cameras, these are waaaay behind A9 with autofocus, and other features that are put at first place to A1/A9. Sony has A1 marked as a flagship, at second place is A9 series. You might see evolution in A7-IV but as I said, A7 is just hybrid camera, for something like pro-hobbysts. A7-5 will be the level of Z6III or R5II

[@truckerzachbell]

Canon: Sure Shot Pro. The R100 guts in a retro bridge camera with an 18-200 F2.8 APS-C power retractable zoom lens, manual controls, and a body that looks like the AE-1. The RP Mark II. Like the RP and R8, but with an integrated dual battery grip (2 LP-E17s), dual card slots, retro styling, a global shutter, IBIS, and 20 FPS mechanical/60 FPS electronic shutter drive modes. Acquires Olympus and OM System from Olympus Holdings and JIP. Nikon: Z1. 'Nuff Said. Sony: an XPERIA a1. A smartphone with a1 guts, the E mount, and a fingerprint sensor for anti-theft. OM System: Gets re-acquired by Olympus, then both get acquired by Canon. Post merger, Olympus launches it's first full frame camera, the OM-1 F, as the first manufacturer outside of Canon itself to adopt the Canon RF mount. Also launches OM-1 XF as a rebranded Canon R3, and offers speed booster adapters, allowing Canon RF, RF-S, and EF-M lenses on their existing Micro Four Thirds bodies. Badge Engineering at it's finest. Panasonic: Brings more Ideas For Life with their own sports camera, featuring a global shutter. Fuji: Launches their first full frame camera to compete with the RF (Canon + OM System/Olympus), E (Sony), Z (Nikon + Red), and L (Panasonic + Leica + Sigma) mounts. 2025 will be suprisingly huge and retro...

[@BikeStuffPDX]

I love the Pocket 3 for some things, but am also frustrated by its limitations. Had a proper gimbal and just wouldn't use it, because setting it up is really hard and once you do, changing lenses is brutal. It also limits creativity in some ways. I really would like to either see an updated DJI Osmo with an APS-C size sensor, an A7sIV with a super IBIS like never seen before or a seemingly impossible gimbal where you enter your hardware and it just works without much fidgeting.

[@ladyethyme]

Actually kind of wish these camera companies would stop with the megapixel war. 24 to 26 is literally the sweet spot. More and it's just numbers to lure in the amateurs that think that more is better.

[@HitnRunTony]

I don’t want them to release a Canon R6 Mark III, because I just brought the Mark II this year 😂 But I would jump on a retro Canon camera

[@911tribute8]

(1) DJI introduces its first full frame interchangeable lens mirrorless camera (2) Canon finally opens up the RF mount to third party lens manufacturers (3) Cheaper Apple Vision Pro. The reason this is significant is because we will finally start to have demand for 3D images & video, even if it takes a couple years. But we will need new lenses for these. If you have not had an Apple Vision Pro demo at an Apple Store yet, try it. It is just a matter of getting the price down before that takes over.

[@NicolasAlexanderOtto]

I would love to finally get some nice Tamron and Sigma lenses on Nikon Z mount.

[@JohnRobertsTV]

I'm looking for an updated M43 rangefinder, something to replace my old Panasonic GX9. A GX9 mark 2 with the guts of the G9 mark 2 would be great, or alternatively an OM Systems Pen F mark 2. I want the newer phase detect autofocusing and better video for those kind of cameras.

[@PrimalVarietyYTC]

Update Firmware on the R6 II to be able to have the ability (if you wanted to use it) for Flash while using focus bracketing. Not sure if it is possible. I know OM Systems has the ability. I never was interested in Marco, but the last few months man I really do like getting out in nature. So yeah that would be nice. I mean it is not a deal breaker, I am am not jumping ship to OM or anything. I just thought it would be nice.

[@StoicJason]

R5II has this so it should be possible.

[@PrimalVarietyYTC]

@ yeah I thought that the R5 II two had a firmware update so that was possible, but I wasn’t too sure. Fingers crossed that they will do it.

[@dw.imaging]

12:18 I want some kind of boot lock so no one can turn on the camera and it function without tapping an associated hardware key or one being in proximaty to the camera similar to how a car key fob works. Or if lost, input a recovery code on the rear screen. And some type of memory card encryption to the body of the camera with a shared access key for your computer if you have to use a card reader.

[@JorgeLausell]

I want to be able to root the camera and write custom interface! Including a desktop version to make setting up macros, and custom user settings easier...

[@PhotoTrekr]

Cheer up Tony. I knew you were trying to do Carnac. And, yes, I'm that old. Maybe I'll be interested in a 100mp A7RVI. But I really don't need it. I just want Sony to keep making smaller, lighter GM quality lenses.

[@roncox3676]

Not a prediction but a wish . oh, for a left-handed camera

[@johndouglas1343]

How would you envisage anti-theft protections working? Something like a 'remote brick' capability to disable it?

[@paulwyand6204]

I would like built in GPS, the chips are cheap, so why not? Perhaps it could be intagated into a cell chip to include tracking.

[@nordic5490]

Why not ? The very first thing I do to a new camera body is to disable the gps. It is no one's business where I go.

[@henkterhell1505]

I can't understand why so few camera's have GPS. Yes, it does take some power of the battery. However, built in GPS of my Pentax K-1 is very convenient for uploading to a nature data base such as obsidentify, and not having to mess around each time with my phone for recording the location. Without location data such reporting is not accepted. If privacy is an issue, it is easy to select in Lightroom removal of location data in converting RAW files.

[@iamtesting3824]

I like GPS tagging mainly to review where and when i photographed.

[@guyjordan8201]

I think what will happen is exactly what we’ve been saying small incremental improvements with everyone trying to be safe… To their own detriment. What I want to see 30 mm by 30 mm sensor, Variable framing without rotating the camera body from wide 16x9 to tall 9x16, computational image stacking GPS field D rotation for Astro photography, and 16 bit per color channel.

[@GemmaHentsch]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the DJI mini and wanting a telephoto lens… I think you could potentially have an interchangeable gimbal assembly so you swap in and out without increasing the weight…

[@kevinrtres]

Sony A7V with 4K60p, 6K60p, 8K30p and ability to switch seamlessly between taking photos and recording videos because that is what is increasingly being required in wedding (and commercial!) photography - in fact we could just skip the "wedding photography" term and move onto WEDDING IMAGING/RECORDING done by a wedding RECORDER person or persons. Of course all the already released tech like the improved body, new function buttons, new LCD movements, AI AF stuff, AI computational stuff, improved EV, very low rolling shutter.

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

[@davidligon6088]

I would be very interested in seeing what Apple can do with a Full Frame IOs camera. I would love to see Sony produce an APS-C stacked sensor for wildlife, more than 26 megapixel, but I don’t think it will happen. I think Canon will replace the R7 with a stacked sensor.

[@logtothebase2]

Nikon, Z80 an IBIS version of the Z50 with better weather sealing, to take the place in the lineup of the Z5 Z6II, not quite a D500 class though, and get some lens backup for the format from Tamron. Panasonic to run out of steam with no significant or market relevant introductions. (but I would like an S7 and an S1 MKII and any or all compact 21, 24, 28 and 40mm primes. Also photo centric MFT DC GX9 refresh ) Sigma introduce something to 800mm zoom, a compact say 24-50mm 2.8 (or similar fast zoom that sacrifices zoom range for compact sizing)

[@MatthiasJurisch]

If all manufacturers did not release any new hardware we would still be treated to millions of wonderful photographs. That could have been a prediction for the past 20 years.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

Chelsea is so, soooo young 😂😂 (Actually, I'm surprised even Tony remembers Carnac the Magnificent. He must have been a small child.) IMO 45-50 MP is enough for almost anybody. So, especially with the increasing focus on video, I don't see Canon releasing a 100-MP camera anytime in the future. If anything, the 24-MP R1 says they are going the other way. P.S. what's with that R5/R5II comparison footage at 18:55??

[@DavidBigandt]

lightweight compact camera with a 40x or more optical zoom

[@airb1976]

[@goldenfrog6EsCoSes]

I've already invested quite heavily in my current camera body and lenses, and what I've got serves me well. I'm not interested in playing this "constantly updating" game. The only people who win that game are the camera- and lens-manufacturers.

[@joeyslaptop]

Also, is there that big of a difference between a 100 MP photo from a single slow camera vs a pixel-shifted series if the pixel-shifted series could be taken at roughly the same speed?

[@raymondpenalver7095]

[@lucannon]

I wish Canon would issue a camera which has the dynamic range and high iso capabilities of the modern sensors, in connection with the colors and 3D-Rendering of the old sensors, like a 6d or 5d mk II

[@artistwithcameras]

that was great

[@trevorsneath4665]

Canon won't release an APS/c with a sensor to deal with rolling shutter. They only put out APS/c cameras because there's a market for them and other companies would get the sales if they don't. But they don't see them as serious photographers otherwise there would be serious APS/c lenses. Show me an L series APS/c lens, or full water proof one and I will start to believe it's possible.

[@truckerzachbell]

@@trevorsneath4665 so you don't think there will be an R7 Mark II with a global shutter? Just remember both Canon and Olympus put a so-called "digital teleconverter" (1.6x Crop Mode as Canon calls it) right into their bodies... And this is especially useful on the full frame R system models. So a full frame body like an R8 can function like an APS-C camera in situations where you need a little more perceived reach, but not a bunch. Now I would like to see some more APS-C lenses. A weather sealed RF-S 18-200 superzoom and a couple of series L RF-S lenses would greatly enhance Canon's line. These would go great with an R7 Mark II.

[@trevorsneath4665]

@@truckerzachbellPutting an APS/c framing into full frame is just a bit of coding to turn off the take from some sensors around the sides of the sensor. They didn't 'put' anything in, they just removed some information. I think there'll be MkII's of the 7 and 10 because they are running out of single digits to use as names. I just don't think we'll see a stacked sensor in APS/c. I may be wrong and I'd be happy to be so, but Canon famously don't give us APS/c users anything like the quality of their L series lenses. If they had wanted to they could have done this with dslr cameras.

[@bigchungus4184]

I always wonder about the Sony aps-c series that went missing which may or may not be found. Of course, I'm talking about the one and only "Sony a6200". What are your thought???

[@LorenzoEusebi]

Nikon and Samsung already did an android camera. It was ages ago and it didn't really go very well. The idea was interesting, but the mobile hardware and software weren't quite ready for the challenge I think. Anyway, you can check up the Samsung galaxy phone and the Nikon Coolpix S800c if interested.

[@warrickcoe5576]

If I wanted 100mp I would just buy a medium format camera. I hope the manufacturers realize the real race is connectivity with other devices not MP or ISO performance. Also when are camera companies going to realize they can make lots of money if they sell loads of accessories that sync perfectly with their camera systems. Sony and DJI have done this with mics and flashes, come on other manufacturers, this is the standard.
