[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Two quick notes on the mysterious "Dream Camera". I'm not trying to be mysterious for some dramatic reveal. It's simply a case of me wanting to buy one before people start to Google it, ranking it up on eBay, getting in people's conscience with raised prices as a result. EDIT: got a question about this so I thought I might clarify. Im not trying to claim that my viewers would buy it, because they absolutely would not. No way. But they might google it, and thats what Im afraid of. Because that would rank it up in peoples search windows when they enter eBay and then it might in fact sell, "others interested in x also looked at y". And last time I checked there was 5 available world wide. Thats right, 5. Three of them where too expensive. So 2... Also I'm pretty sure most people guessing and discussing it will be pretty disappointed :)

It's a Praktica DTL3, isn't it? It was my first camera and the one that taught me the lesson about the glass being WAY more important than the body. These days though the playing field has been levelled a bit.

[@demetrio3d239]

Well done.

[@lagazettedesfrancais8155]

Panasonic Leica XL 100. For many reasons, the first one being its cost. I use it professionaly all the time, very discreet in dangerous places, loaded with possibilities (too many in fact). Manual control at every level, good for me as I was trained in the argentic days. Superb Leica lens. The sensor size is adequate for almost every situation, and there are technical solutions when not. I rarely use the excellent 4K video mode, but it's there. I prefer this version to the mark II. There are perhaps better and more pricy cameras, but this one will get you almost anywhere. (I also use a Pentax spotmatic when using film, and a small Nikon in tricky situations). All the best for the new year, and keep up the good work.

[@PinkPulpito]

Would it still hold up today if I would want to get into photography. ? I’m interested in traveling and I’m not sure if a canon 90 is too big maybe, but it looks profesional which is why I’d want it for clients to start out.

[@lagazettedesfrancais8155]

@@PinkPulpito Yes, it does. There are of course better cameras. But the whole package, its versatility, and its cost make it very attractive. Video is also very good and can be used at a professional level. I published several photo books with photos made with it with very good results. Important is the post-production program you will use. I would recommend ART.

[@velocelens]

As an addition, the X-E2 is essentially the same as the X-E2s after the firmware upgrades. Great little camera! Was my first fuji camera that I got on a whim in a trade for a pc part, and now I got my dad hooked on it as well.

[@presentperfect9718]

Mattias, you're the best proof I've seen that beautiful images have little to do with the gear. I think you could pull a great image out of almost anything. Whatever your dream camera is, I'm sure you'll have fun with it. But in many ways, you should be making videos on advanced photography, not gear. Too many people are tracking your equipment thinking that's the key to pictures as good as yours. And that has nothing to do with it. You're just a great photographer. Period. Thanks for the visual pleasure!

[@odemata87]

With a list like this for such good cameras makes you think why the rush to upgrade by so many.

Utterly in agreement about the X-E3. Never owned it, regrettably, but loved the experience of taking people pix with the X-E2S, same form factor. Funny how these humpless cameras put up much less of a vibrational wall between you and the subject.

[@ashzhu3085]

I was waiting for the Leica CL price to go down and now you make this video… haha

[@xplorerphotography]

Great choices, I picked up an XE2 for $200 CAD and the Fuji 27mm f/2.8 for another $200 and have an amazing little rangefinder style camera. Goes everywhere I go.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Great combo!

[@amconsole]

I still have the original Fuji X-E1 and feel no real need to upgrade to the X-E2 or X-E3. It's easily "95%" of the X-E2s and about "90%" of the X-E3. The colors and sharpness are unbelievably good and holds well together. Honorable mention: SONY X100 Mk1 - the original is still 90% of what the new ones are at an affordable price. No overheating issues either.

[@mike_lambert]

I still have my XE1, XE2s as well as an XE3, the XE3 is so much faster than the other 2 (especially the XE1) I couldn't imagine going back.

[@RobShootPhotos]

E-M10 II. So far I have 17, 25 & 45mm primes, 60mm macro, 14-150mm & my two kit lenses. In two years spent about $2000, only two lenses are used and all are Olympus glass. I certainly won't complain.

Can’t wait to see what the dream camera is. Mine would be a Leica mp film and a 35 mm summicron. Not sure selling everything would pay for it though

[@ottoman1755]

The videos are therapy! I’m thankful!

[@jshanni2066]

Purely for the fun of speculating: The dream camera is in a higher price bracket than the Leica CL, but we may be disappointed. So: Leica Q ? Possible, focal length one of Mattias' favourites. But would he pair it with the same GR focal length? Doubt it. Sony Rx1Rii. High resolution sensor, built in Evf, fairly compact, classic focal length. But could Sony menus and ergonomics be anyone's "dream"? Nah, I don't think so. And I suspect with the GR in pocket, the dream camera won't be fixed lens. Leica M10-D . Distinct possibility. Different, bare bones, simple and minimalist. Mattias' loved his M8/M9 and the M10 series is the closest cmos to the ccd output Leica have had. Manual focus only, but he loves shooting vintagei lenses on various bodies anyway. But is the 24mp enough for a recent interest in landscape work? Leica SL2. I'm thinking no, purely on size. Hassy X1Dii . Certainly fits the bill of upper price brackets! Bigger sensor, interchangeable lenses, premium brand, lots of resolution, reasonably compact for what it is. The problem with all of the above is that Mattias' interest wouldn't really drive prices up. So that makes me think it's something older, less common and less easily obtained . Possibly even a large format film camera or digital back?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

You sound like a crime investigator. Great comment! :)

[@mihaicalincosariu]

[@jshanni2066]

Since switching to digital almost six years ago, I have bought and then sold a dozen different cameras from Olympus, Panasonic, and mostly Fuji, along with over forty different lenses to go with them. But this year, I sold the last of my Fujis to buy my dream camera; a Leica M. Actually two of them; an M9 and and then an M8 to keep it company.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

That's a cool combo to have. They complement each other well.

Always love your reviews Mattias. Your recommendations are really cool and it is always good to see that you look for the best in a camera and utilising them to their full potential. I collect a lot of film cameras as well as buying used digital. Probably my favourite purchase which you have recommended is the LX100 mark 1, which I feel is an amazing compact camera. Recently got myself a Sigma DP0 Quattro so am really keen to give that a try. Am really looking forward to see what you end up with next.

[@DS-cf1zc]

Its quite funny what us photographers do when GAS strikes. Lets flog the lot, and buy the think we love most. It was your love of the Df that diverted me away from buying the M10. And that purchase is the best one I have ever made - even with only two lenses, I love the Df, nothing I have shot with, played with, or even thought about pulls the goods. On the days I feel like a change, I use my Leica X (a camera everyone loves to hate), and shot it in full analogue mode, as if it were a film camera - just for a change. I look forward to seeing what you buy.

[@petergabriel8448]

Isn’t the EVF actually bigger on the x-e2s, compared to x-e3? At least the eye cup seems bigger, and the OLED is 0.5”, where x-e3 is only 0.38”. Is this noticable?

Might be, not big enough difference for me to take notice though.

[@ashzhu3085]

smalltalk.productions I cannot comment on reliability since I’m not using Fuji professionally. But my xt2 works fine under freezing/in deserts/around waterfalls… in terms of post processing, granted that you may get higher sharpness with Capture1, I think LR is good enough for normal size prints.

[@Nebeldiener]

I switched from m43 to Fuji APS-C. Started with a Lumix G6 in 2013, then switched to the G85 because it is weather sealed and the handling overall is much nicer. Sometime after that I wanted a camera purely for street photography and bought a GX850. The GX850 took awesome images but the camera was too small, so I bought a GX85 instead. The handling is great, the image quality is great but sadly this camera isn't weather sealed and Panasonic doesn't seem to be making a GX8 II anytime soon. Because of that I bought a used X-Pro 2 with the grip attachment and the 27mm pancake to test the Fuji system. To be honest I've never used my m43 gear since. Now I own an X-Pro2 with a 23mm f2 as my main street-setup, a 50mm f2 for longer reach, a 27mm pancake for its compactness, an X-H1 for everything else and have a 16-55 on the way. Couldn't be happier. Disclaimer: I want weather sealing because I like to have my cameras always ready and my X-Pro2 got dripping wet several times and has never failed me once.

Perhaps this year I can finally get one.

[@obscur_yoann]

Ahahah, love that teasing for your next camera ! 😂 I bet you are looking to the X1D... The first one can be found second hand for a good price I think. Personally, I can't justify (and don't have the money) buying one of my dream cameras (M10-P / Hasselblad X1D 1 and 2 / GFX50R), but I decided to took the closest to my dreams (my ''more affordable and realistic'' dream I should say😅) ; the X-Pro 3 (arriving tomorrow). My plan is to focus on lenses, especially M mount ones so I can use them in any other camera in the future...😋

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

the X-Pro3 is a lot of fun, enjoy :)

[@KentuckyMan30]

Intriguing list for sure! That Panasonic LX100 looks pretty cool. Speaking of the X-E line, you can get the original X-E1 used for DIRT cheap. I've seen some in great condition go as low as $125. The downside is that it has the first X-trans sensor as opposed to the X-Trans II found in the X-T1, but it's still a great sensor nonetheless! Also, I can't wait to see this dream camera of yours. A vintage Leica? A Phase? Maybe one of the Hasselblads that went to the moon?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Yeah the XE1 is also a solid option. The moon camera would be sweet. Or some other famous camera like the Queen's M3 or something.

My guess it would be a Leica Q or RX1R m2. Considering he said that he is still a prime shooter at heart and the camera is in higher bracket.

@@luck002 I shared a photo of the Q when I shipped it to its new owner last week on my members page :)

Love it. Great video.

I''ve had the Fuji X70 two times now. I guess i just want a successor, but it's not coming :(

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Three times for me, contemplating a fourth.

[@Maochan81]

@@gearreallydoesntmatter btw. maybe you do something similar with lenses? I had the Mitakon 0.95/35 for Fuji, sold it for an AF lens, but i really want one again :)

[@Poverello2001]

I love my X70. I don’t have a lot of gear, but the X70 is my go to camera.

[@Rob-zz4qj]

Me too, I don't think it's coming though ☹️

[@Otawakun]

I still have my E-pl1, but it was unused recently cause the auto focus doesn't work. Still looking for a dirt cheap m4/3 lens that is not too huge. Might transition to a compact camera someday.

Hi Mattias, thank you for your very precious sharing here, and I get myself of the pana lx100 as well at last. And could I know how do you shoot the raw image during the video recording ??

[@ruff1draft]

Love your camera reviews and have done for years. I am going to purchase the Panasonic GH5 and GH5s so I can make some films and do some reviews. I am also going to buy the Canon 90D and Fuji XT3. I have managed to put both the regular colour profiles of both the Fuji XT1 and Fuji Xpro 1 onto my Nikon D5500 via the Nikon Picture Control Editer website. I have also put the Canon 5D Mark 2 color profile on it. I am going to put more on it this week.

I had the Ricoh GRs (IV 1.8 lens and the new versions I and II) ricoh just finds a way to get back to me. Good thing I settled for the III. If it had a viewfinder, that would be the perfect camera.

[@tommynguyen9238]

do you use lightroom or other programs to sort your images? thanks in advance

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I adjust in Lightroom but don’t use it for sorting.

[@Photographicelements]

Great video! Love hearing about these gems! @ 1:56 double adapter, Canon FD lens to M to X mount?

[@carlgarrard9710]

I've never had a dream about a camera. :)

[@pogolas]

Mattias, if RX1 was affordable, would you rank it as No1? I have a friend, who need a camera in 800-1200 euros range, and I just can’t think of a camera with better image quality that is portable. Had RX1 for a week. Absolutely loved it. I believe its the Carl Zeiss lens.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I would call it affordable. The first version is only 6-700. It was alright but I had already had the RX1rii and then it's difficult to go backwards.
