Hey, Kasey, now you need perfect Lens? haha

14:48 Or TT Artisan on a Sony camera!!?

" I am complete, I do not need more!" Tomorrow: I just bought 6 prime lens, 3 cameras, 2 clips, 1 mic. The perfect camera is the next camera! The bar keeps moving. Boom!

[@giantbear829]

Your vlogging and walking is your best thing. I only come for the vlogging walking, i get to see the Toronto streets and vibe and chill out and listen to

[@iteachtime]

Seriously great skill on the squirrel montage. Impressed! Searching for the perfect camera is a quest. Quests make the best literature and movies. Why search for the golden orb? Does anyone really need a golden orb? It's the search that is exciting, not the find. Your search for the perfect camera is a journey we are all participating in. We learn life's lessons along the way.

[@stunod1479]

I LOVE YOU 0:48 “Sony A7 s3 Voitlander 21 mill Toneh 1 point 4 ND filleted engaged” better than a Marvel movie!

[@vorpled]

You haven't been looking for the perfect camera for years. You gained enlightenment and didn't even realise. You are looking for the perfect lens.

[@shueibdahir]

Took me 10 years to realise this aswell 😂

[@vorpled]

@@shueibdahir I was only joking really, it's just replacing one type of GAS with another. 😜

[@shueibdahir]

@@vorpled That's true but I also realized 7artisans Cine lenses have the look of blacking 7 and cooke lenses.

[@artistjoh]

I have had several perfect cameras over the years. Perfection is the right camera for the right job, for the right person. Lots of cameras fit that description. They might not be perfect for anyone else, and their perfect camera may not be perfect for me. I do not understand a search for an elusive and dreamlike imagined perfection in which a camera does everything. Like any dream, that kind of perfection vanishes the moment your eyes open. True perfection is discovered within the Zen of working within imperfections.

[@RogerioCRibeiro]

Your intro song and slo-mo run brings me inner peace!

[@POVwithRC]

Well, the grade on your walk and talk was dreamy. The flowers in the distance

[@dasaen]

I think I’ve figured it out. I don’t need the perfect camera, what I need is millions of dollars.

[@Panotaker]

You need to have a running across the street in slow motion video contest, just to see what people come up with. Maybe next time you give away a camera or lens you can do it.

[@jorgemoro5476]

[@maups2]

You already peaked IQ wise with the blackmagic OG. I wanna see more of the PL 300mm

[@QuicknStraight]

For as long as most people view content on small screens, even resolution doesn't really matter much. 1080p is still enough for viewing on a small screen.

[@YaYousef5]

Exactly. 65% of people watch KZbin on their phone. Less than 4% watch in 4k. It's so wild to me when I hear camera content creators are recording in bit rates higher than 50 MB/s (Casey says in this video he's receiving at 240) when KZbin is going to compress all that bitrate down to 30 MB/s for 4k or 12 MB/s for 1080p (that 96% of people watch). It's a complete waste of storage space and increases workflow times for placebo quality. I once heard a small vlogging channel with less than 2k subscribers say they hate the g9ii because it overheats when they record at 600 MB/s bitrate lol.

[@QuicknStraight]

@@YaYousef5 Yep, it's nuts!

[@tsluke]

Great video! I know you said you are bored with outdoor vlogging, but, man, was this one excellent!

[@velvetvideo]

your car jump scare got me you bastard. :p

[@LukeChristo]

Yeah, just get an R3. Amazing video, stills, DR, AF, stacked sensor, battery, not too heavy, feels great doing hand held. You can use EF lenses and CPS is a nice bonus.

[@velvetvideo]

the walking vlogging thing gives me Ferris Bueller vibes. :) ...life comes at you pretty fast, if you don't stop to look around once in awhile...you might just miss it.

[@ka.4084]

For me, I’m still looking for my perfect camera. I really enjoy learning to color grade and I want to have the privilege to work with 10bit 4:2:2. So what do you recommend? things I’m considering in my perfect camera: IBIS (that doesn’t warp or jerk) Phase detect (w/ good algorithm) Nice color science High dynamic range Raw internally Monitoring features Internal nd (opt) Feature-rich camera for the money I’m doing indoors/outdoor youtube vids & some skits. (I know it doesn’t need hella of color grading but I’m enjoying the process) Big love

Wow, in the shades you can clearly see the 3D pop. You are popping, man!

[@lawrencewald196]

I don't watch your videos for the gear. I enjoy the comparisons of lenses I likely will never own, though. I watch for the fun.

[@Kobrar44]

I like how the captions for the intro are "All I want is the camera".

[@glennn.3464]

As the saying goes, if you want it done right, you’ll have to do it yourself. So...if you want the "perfect" camera just start your own company, design it and build it, maybe do a kickstarter thing or something similar, and start getting that perfect camera out in the world. Simple! 😉Oh, and don’t sell it too cheap. Perfection doesn’t come cheap.

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

The premise of this question is the exact reason why you created this channel! Don't give up.

[@audioupgrades]

Here's my preferred shooting style on CC: (1) Slow motion men throwing sticks, (2) Walk and talk with mutual heckling of passers-by, (3) Talking in nature with autofocus engaged, (4l) Desk rants, (5) What I eat in a day.

[@TheStorytellingDad]

No boardroom meetings?

[@audioupgrades]

@@TheStorytellingDad Fair enough. I like the boardroom meetings, too.

[@KieranCoughlanWicklow]

A lot of camera shops and many gear channels encourage the one system to fit all approach but it's not realistic, there's either too many compromises or too much expense. Everything you said makes sense...should we all worry now?

[@JoATTech]

It would be great if Davinci Resolve has native support for Sony gyro stabilization (catalyst browse) or at least it there is a Sony plugin for DR. It would stabilise only your cuts, not 2h or boring footage you have to cut later.

[@DesignGuyCA]

Dammit, that car made me jump! lmao

[@WhatisReal11]

In the paraphrased words of Rust Chole.... If you arent judging you living wrong.

[@jayacustico9518]

Bring back the G85… I have a lot of expensive cameras and cinema cameras, but expensive gear is boring… do great things with a great expensive camera is not challenging, is not fun is just obviously what is supposed to happen. But the G85 times where the best. We miss the David vs Goliat sensation in each episode.

[@MillennialDiligence-sx8re]

I feel like he slept on the g9. It’s got 10 bit, great stabe and they even gave it a decent firmware update with better AF. I’d love more g85 and g9 content!

[@rich3419]

I agree. Getting a decent photo out of the G85 was challenging. Erase that. Darn near impossible.

[@YaYousef5]

​@@rich3419one of the best photos I ever took was with a g85 and the 14mm 2.5. A beautiful mountain landscape shot in Salzburg. I printed it at 20x30 and it's up on the wall in my living room. I get 100s of compliments on it.

[@iamionscat9035]

This channel should be called "Camera Lens Fever" because now I feel like I have to buy a ton of lenses I don't need and to get another system that I really don't need. Maybe I should start a channel myself... Ahhhhh!

[@davidarnott9740]

It is not about cameras, or lenses or vlogging or even slow motion. It is about you -your ability to communicate, to make us think and amuse us on the journey. That is why so many of us watch and enjoy your work. David

[@maruwaanmoses]

A camera doesn’t need to be perfect. As long as it meets the requirements for the specific types of shoots, it’s more than enough. Problem is we nowadays expect a hammer to do the job of an axe.

Next step could be perfect camera within some budget like 1000$ or smth. I have pocket 3 and wondering to add action 4 for rainy and wet environment or for another angle.

[@adriaanjelle]

You should try vlogging with an iPod Nano 5th generation, truly the perfect camera!

[@stunod1479]

3:23 yeah the suburbs can suck. At least there’s no 💩on the sidewalk or broken crack pipes.

[@LIGHTHUNTER.D]

Adapt the E mount stuff to Z mount, everything can be shared

[@danncorbit3623]

Speaking of the perfect camera, Manny Ortiz specifically mentioned Kacey in his review of the Z6 III. Check it out. It has lots of high speed modes. OK, no 480, but other hot stuff galore.

[@RandumbTech]

Sry to be the bearer of bad news, but the 10-bit codec in catalyst browse is a lie. It’s just a 10-bit container for footage that has been converted to 8-bit. To keep your 10-bit color information, Sony makes you upgrade to Catalyst prepare. That being said, if you shoot in Rec. 709 10-bit (I do), no one is going to be able to see the difference.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Interesting. Well it does look better at least. Before doing this it was a noticeable drop in image quality, and the MBPS is higher.

[@georgedavall9449]

Yeah! @ 13:05 Great! 👍

[@RedOctober-y1m]

OH GOD THE POP!!!! Imma buy that lens, Kasey. When I got the money of course, government money. Would ZVE-10/A6400 good enough camera? OR should I buy Viltrox 13mm f1.4?

[@krazywabbit]

We missed slow mo squirrel. Thank you.

[@note5camera]

Maybe now that you found the perfect camera, you can work with N.A.S.A. for when they go "back" to the moon. They like slow-motion too.

[@JoATTech]

If vlogging is not a thing my Sony A7IV would be perfect camera. It's great for photos and stationary video shooting.

[@TeamSkeptic]

Please help me understand why I feel the need to buy more camera gear, why I am addicted to this channel over boring reviewers with no 3d-pop, and I need your advice... I am about to travel through Europe, shooting content for a new channel, and really need a good travel action camera. I'm hesitant on the Pocket 3, I don't really need it for "ACTION" video, but having it as a 3rd and quick camera option would be nice. I am also taking an A7C II for pictures and a ZV-E1 to capture planned moments and to continue making my talking head vids for my main channel. The action camera would just be to supplement the other two. Don't give me ten suggestions, just tell me the PERFECT ONE I need... and do it NOW, please! I did say please! :)

[@iamionscat9035]

[@VladimirHidalgo]

We have reached a pinnacle with DJI Action 4, Canon R5, Sony A7RIV, Nikon Z9 - we don't need 102,000 ISO, we don't need 60 FPS with unlimited buffers, at this point we just need more of "smartphone" experience in the camera world, meaning that I just want an Android phone paired to a good full frame lens, Xiaomi 14 Ultra is getting closer to what 99% of enthusiasts need than all other others combined.

[@TkeMedia]

What're your thoughts on the Canon C400?

[@londenard]

I know you'll bat this suggestion away immediately but... Camera Gimbal. I've suggested it several times. They sell "Mini" versions that'll work with the ZVE1 series for around $200 (or less). Not to mention the versions that offer built in face tracking for Vlogging. Just saying... Don't even get me started on Phone Gimbals and lens options...

The short answer is "No". What you need is to be the perfect videographer. Then you can make most modern cameras sing.
