@@fenglinafl Mine just appeared out of the blue sky. :) Thankfully I have loaner gear from my company coming and going, so it is hard to follow. Did anyone mention that (real) medium format digital - which is absolutely necessary for landscape photography - makes the 600/4 look as a cheap thing. A month ago, when I went for a mixed landscape/wildlife trip to Iceland, the Canon 600 IS mkII I brought with me was the 5th most expensive lens, and the 7th most expensive item in my bag.

13:38 100% on the mark - the reply question (in my own head, anyway) is not "is that KZbin, or only photography?" - it's "does that include my day job?" (whatever that is, even if it's KZbin at 50k subscribers...) I spent the whole video projecting myself into her shoes and thinking... "This makes me happy. *I* can afford to pay my bills and get an $800 laptop. *We* can afford to pay bills and an $800 laptop, and a $4000 laptop (write off on the Schedule C), *and* collect all this expensive camera gear over time. With what I can contribute, and what he can contribute, the future looks pretty bright."

My wife assumes the value behind all my gear is much higher than it actually is. In Canadian dollars, I'd estimate my total value is around $7000. Most of my lenses are used, my lights are mostly off auctions, my printer and bag was off an auction, and only my camera and action cam is new. If it was all brand new, it would easily be $12k, which is what my wife assumes.

great video; to answer your partners' question, at 12:01; the reason the R7 is less expensive than the R5 is that the camera naming culture of manufacturers, they call the KING or top of the line a 1D/R or D1 by convention, the 7{or 700}/8{800} is Pro level, but more sports (resolution compromised for speed, AF performance)\8 is higher res, lack of speed; 5 is Light Pro/Enthusiast level, 300/400 is amateur or beginner level is any 10's aka digits in the 10s not hundreds; also the 1/10/100 placing of the digits indicates crop or full frame type; the full frame obviously more $$ than crop body. there is also a feature set progression in the line-ups, beginners are more auto, the pros have no auto, or minimal, the pro models have dials for iso, shutter, aperture instead of menu or button push and turn for the cheaper cameras, just to name a few differences.

Honestly, both amazing lenses and worth the prices. I can do videography no problem with the 16-35, the AF is silent. The stabilization on the Sigma, incredible being able to shoot 1/50 at 600mm. Also the AF is basically silent. I wanna get a drone next year. I might try to get into realty photography for extra cash to pay for my camera stuff haha.

Maybe you can answer a question for me. Do music-based KZbin content creators have photography gear as background props? Because it seems like a lot of photography-based channels have musical instruments as background props, assuming they're shooting the video from inside their home. My brother is a professional musician, so I get what you're saying about musical instruments. While he owns several instruments that cost a pretty penny, his "baby" is his bassoon - major bucks on that.

My question is: why do you own a 70-200 F/4 and a 100-500? They almost entirely overlap, no? Why not get a standard zoom to cover the 35-100mm gap? (unfortunately in RF, they don't have many interesting standard zoom options, like the Tamron 28-75 for example would fit well in that gap, but the 24-105 costs the same as the 70-200 f/4)

good question honestly, but maybe it just doesn't fit his style of photography? also, they have the 24-105 f2.8 now, that's a pretty interesting lens imo that pairs great with the 100-500

@@CivilStig Yea, but it costs as much as a car, and weights almost as much as well :D Lovely lens, but I would never put it in my bag personally :P

I really suffered with Gear acquisition until about 12 months maybe 18 months ago and I sold everything that cost me a lot of money and I bought lots of stuff that cost me next to nothing my photography if anything has improved and my photographs no longer look like they are over sample digital photographs. In fact when I show my cameras to any photographer friends and show them the images I am getting from them which is mainly Olympus micro four thirds cameras they can't believe how cheap they were and how good the images are.

For a photography YTuber your kit's actually not all that bad (cost-wise). But it's best to get your GAS out of the way while you're still young and childless. I got into photography back when my first child was born in 2006. My last camera body purchase was the 5DIII in 2012. I just upgraded to the R6II last year. I'm still using the red ring EF lenses that I'd accumulated way earlier cause there's no way in hell I can afford to replace them all w/the RF equivalents. Unless your YT channel/photography biz blows up then you can do whatever the heck you want. =)

I live in a town where fishing is a VERY big thing, to the point where crocodiles and sharks are just another speed bump on the way to nirvana. I lived around the corner from a guy who had to leave his prize possession out on the grass in front of his home. Best guess would put the value at somewhere around 100k AUD and in 6 years I believe he took it out twice a year. As long as you are USING that gear, does it really matter what it cost ?

Ya.... I just recently got married and my wife asked me how much everything costs... That what a very eye opening conversation for her haha luckily (Even though she is extremely frugal) she was pretty understanding that it is my career and I do make decent money and support us both with it. Although my gear costs is closer to 25,000 dollars lol

It is unironically more expensive than a c*caine addiction. I know a guy who wanted to get clean, so he started with photography, and started to use his dr*g money to buy equipment. He said that it helped him a lot, but also costed more than what he was saving in dr*gs. I think the most expensive lense he bought was 7k or so, but he had a couple of 5k.

I started shooting in high-school using an old nikon d5100 i found in our house and never really bothered to look at lenses or accessories, so i had no idea how expensive this hobby was going to be until just last year when i bought my own camera for the fist time. One year into taking photography a little bit more enthusiastically, ive spent around 3k + usd already like damn im not even a professional photographer lmao

Having just moved from APS-C to full-frame, and thus needing to replace my whole system, it's a bit of a relief to realize that, however much I may have spent on it, it’s still far less than the prices you've given for the equivalent pieces.
