Ranking EVERY camera I own... How many?!

[@MicroFourNerds]

😬 what do you think? Do I need to trim my collection a bit? 😅 tell me your G.A.S. collection!

[@Mr50mmish]

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Welcome to the "camera hoarding sort of person" club 😁

[@nix123ism]

My camera collection is starting to get ridiculous.... But I can't bring myself to sell them which is starting to be a problem... 2 x Lumix G6, Sony a5100,Fuji XA7,X20,Samsung nx500,nx2000,Sony rx100mk1,rx100mk2,zv1, and a ton of lenses ....can never bring myself to sell them because when I do sell them I wish I hadn't .....

[@trishf29]

Heavens no! They are your comfort toys. Now, I want to see your lenses!!!!

[@trevgev]

Nice collection! You probably could do with relieving some of that G.A.S. though ... May I recommend F.A.R.T.I.N.G. (Freezing Accounts and Reducing The Influx of New Gear)?

[@MicroFourNerds]

😂 amazing

[@MonJahrenel]

GM series for the win!!!

[@SLLYT]

My two Panasonic GX8 cameras, after all these years, are still pleasing to use. Compact, weather-resistant, and friendly in hand and to use.

[@acrummey85]

I got a decent E-M5 for $125Cdn. and then I found another E-M5 which was sold as-is with a 4/3rds 50mm f2 macro lens and 4/3 to m4/3 adapter (Olympus MMF2). The camera, lens and adapter cost me $20Cdn, no not 200, but 20! The glass cover on the EVF was broken and the camera had been left for years so it no longer keeps the time and date when you change batteries but... everything else works and there were only 7200 shutter actuations and shows no error codes. So now I have a silver and a black model for $145 Canadian! I occasionally get lucky. Great video and Have a Happy New Year!

[@BroadcastFromTheVoid]

Your spray painted cameras are great, please don't let anyone tell you anything else! They're the reason why I found your channel and what caught my attention.

[@golden4523]

You’re a big part of the reason I got into m43. It’s my second favorite format, behind medium format which I own a phase one, Hasselblad and Pentax and I gotta say the difference in low light and stuff is not nearly as large as I thought it would be. Just ordered my Big White today, thanks for doing what you do ^^

[@bobabun]

I bought the lumix gm5 a few minutes ago, have been looking for a good deal for months even though I already have the gm1, since the evf is smth i truly miss but I've grown to love the size of the gm1. By accident I was on the mpb site the minute that a gm1 became available in the gorgeous red colour for a crazy good deal!! Can't wait to be obsessed with yet another tiny camera. Aside from all that love your videos!! Such great quality every time:D

[@mikelesniak]

Thank for making me feel better. I thought I had a G.A.S. problem but after seeing this, I feel I'm a healthy individual with an expensive hobby. My first serious camera was a Minolta 3xi (which I still have) a good 30ish years old. I then had other Minoltas through to Sony's up to today with the Sony A7 VI. My problem is lenses I have too many.

[@AgentStarke]

I have a G7 (my first camera), a GH5II, and a GM5. I also have a Sony A7SIII. I want to get an EM5-II or III because it's such a beautiful camera. I don't think it's possible to be satisfied with the amount of cameras you have. Don't even get me started on lenses. Oh and I love all your colorful cameras.

[@AnjaPoland]

I've had my Lumix GM1 for 10 years now, I thought it was breaking down at one point and stumbled across your channel while doing research on it and have since added a Olympus OM5 and Pentax Q to my collection based on your recommendations...love a tiny camera! Probably more to come 😆

[@philbrown8181]

Thank you Emily for making me feel much better about (by comparison very modest) shelf of GAS. Lovely video, great fun!

[@dolphabernethy9723]

Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@rosvw3517]

I love your camera rankings/mini reviews’ videos and write your suggestions in a notebook. Did you take photography at school, or did your Dad teach you? You are a natural at all things photography. Looking forward to seeing your 2025 videos.

[@juliette-mansour]

I thought I was bad but yeah Emily, you win the award for the most symptoms for "small-camera-itis"! We do share a devotion to our GM5s...and I too own two different OM-1 film cameras. That camera and the Nikon FE2 started my film journey for me back in the early 2000s. I still use the lenses on my digital cameras with an adapter. Great video!

[@AndySnap]

Hey Emily, don't worry or make excuses for your collection. They make you happy and really don't take up that much space. Why do photographers fret about G.A.S...?! We envy rock stars with guitar or keyboard collections, or a warehouse full of drum kits! G.A.S is just having things you like, if you want. Be GASsy, be happy. 😊

[@jhaydnreynolds]

Enjoyed the video. I use a photo sharing website called Pbase and this records the cameras we’ve used. Since I opened my account with them in 2005 I have uploaded photos with 68 different cameras. Probably have about 25 still in my possession-mostly micro43, Nikon z full frame and aps-c. Best wishes, John.

[@glsracer]

That's quite a collection. I'm actually surprised at the lack of GX1, GX85, and a6000s in your list. Those were prolific at the time and many people including myself still have them. Also, I have an LX10 that I bought new a few years ago for about 400 USD and it's one of my favorite cameras. The small size, excellent lens, and great image quality make it wonderful for those that like small cameras. Totally worth the price IMO. Same goes for the LF1, man I wish they would make an LF2.

[@MicroFourNerds]

I had the gx85 and sold it to fund my gh5 back in the day... I deeply regret it haha

[@ivarfjeldheim5037]

Richo GR3, Leica D-Lux 7 “A BATHING APE", Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C, Hasselblad X2D, Hasselad 501c, Hasselblad 500 ELM, Mamiya RZ67, Lumix S9, Lumix S5IIx, OM system OM-1 ii, Fuji X-Pro2, Nikon F3. DJI Pocket 3. The everyday camera is Richo GR3. I use the Hasselblad for nature and documentaries, etc. OM System is used for wildlife and travel. Lumix S9 is used for travel with the OM System. Lumix S5 IIx is used to create videos with the DJI Pocket 3.

[@AlbertSiegel]

Your videos are always such a pleasure.

[@SusanClarkeatenterin]

Wow Emily, great collection! Don't sell any if you don't need to, collecting is a great hobby, and just brings so much pleasure to ones life... You might need to invest in more shelves or a larger room though! Loved this video, thanks for sharing it with us. So many fun and quirky cameras, who knew?? I shared with you on a different video my love for the Lumix LX 10 that I own, but my favorite camera in my 13 camera collection.. (pry it out of my dead hands) is the Fujifilm x10, I love, love, love this camera. It's a 13 year old surprisingly fun and amazing little camera that takes incredible pictures with it's EXR sensor. Cheers to you and Best wishes for 2025

[@kshorter01]

Always enjoy your video reviews and commentaries. Keep them coming. Around 175 cameras and 475 lenses for my GAS, though I haven't counted lately to be exact.

[@belaboured]

I'm definitely a hoarder: film and digital, collectibles, repair projects (including hopeless cases). I once bought a camera described as "old camera" in the "everything else" category on ebay, just to see what it was (Voigtlaender Bessa 6x9, which does work!). I accidentally bought a Fujica G670 from France, just curious what it was going for. A wonderful camera, but I really need a 2AM cutoff for internet activities. And I bought a Mamiya 6 - the old folder - from Rajastan, just so I could say I did. It really does look like it spent decades in the desert. The ones I actually carry around are almost invariably Olympus: usually an E-M5 (lusting for a Mk II), although I have an inherited XA in the bag at present. I'm also partial to old rangefinders, and have a Fuji X-E1 that I bought specifically for my vintage Pen F lenses in my "alternate" bag. That combination is so much fun!

[@scottsherwood8555]

I have the Lumix G7, the GH4, 2 - GX1's, 2 Pentax 110's with motor drives, flashes, 50mm lens,28mm lens,18mm lens, forays lens adapter from Pentax lens to micro four thirds, mini HD cat camera collar camera/video, Lumix DMC GF1, Lumix pan-30 dmc-ZS3 camera. Im a total amateur but love Lumix camera's!

[@CraigSmith-ui2xx]

I resell Olympus and Panasonic cameras, so I get to test a lot of different models. The older Olympus models are very underrated. My personal favourite is the Four Thirds e-510 coupled with the Oly 50mm F2 macro. That's a very, very sharp combo that can be found on eBay for peanuts.

[@arielmuno]

I bought a Gm1 some time ago for 70 EUROS!! 🤯 Im pretty sure the guy selling it didnt know what he had, and neither did I! I bought it for the lens that it came with! Crazy! 😅 I really like it, but my favourite, super underrated, is the olympus om-d em10.

[@RonaldBrown59]

The OMD EM-5 V2 is probably my favorite camera of all time. But the GH5 is also high on my list. And I don't have a camera collection, I sell the older ones off to pay for the new ones. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@screendoorslams99]

Love your collection, your adorable enthusiasm & passion! Don’t sell! Subscribed. 🤩

[@SlotCarNewsOfficial]

I regularly watch your videos and I love them. I'm MFT curious so this always makes he think I need to add at least one camera... you're not helping me resist that LOL.

[@chrisbmunden]

Great collection. I collect old film cameras myself and always feel the urge to buy more... I think Tickles my camera need buttons will go down in history. Have a happy and healthy 2025.

[@teepee63]

Part of the reason I moved to m43 was to consolidate to one camera, one, perhaps two, lenses and that's what I've done, all part of it's travel light and small ability. Both lenses are so good (in truth I could almost drop to one lens), that I've felt no urge to buy more and I spend my time trying to find something I might need but this time my choice was made too well. Although I have squidged sideways and bought an OM2n, a camera I used to own back in the day, so there's that, not entirely succesful avoiding GAS then.

[@garonkiesel1646]

My favorite point-and-shoot digital camera of all time is the Yi M1

[@Bettys_Eldest]

Started with an OM1n in 1980, quickly followed by a K1000, a Konica C35, Olympus Trip and Lubitel Twin Lens. When digital came I blagged the kids cameras until 2016 when a pink Pentax Q10 came my way, quickly followed by a cream Q, black Q10 and silver Q7, along with nine Q mount lenses. I don't feel inclined to buy any more cameras. Unless I start making KZbin videos of my band. The real GAS however relates to guitars. The ones I can remember off the top of my head are eleven Telecasters, four Stratocasters, five Gordon Smiths, Gibson ES135, Junior and Explorer, Rickenbacker 6650S, Washburn HB15. Patrick Eggle New York, Burns Double-Six and Charvel Surfcaster electric 12 strings, Variax 600, Fender Jazz, Status Electro, Squier Musicmaster, Vox Clubman and Kala basses, two acoustic drum kits one electric, electric piano. Four solid state guitar amps, nine valve amps three speaker cabinets, two bass amps, one keyboard amp, six mixers, four power amps, three sets of powered and four sets of passive speakers, over twenty microphones, fifteen stands, and a few stage lights. I have not bought a guitar or amplifier since 2017 though, but a few effects pedals have appeared. Does that make you feel better?

[@nolannatashaTV]

feeling better about the size of my ridiculous collection. I sold my g9 when I got my g9ii and I'm sorry I did. I felt about that camera the way you feel about the gh5. I told myself I was being foolish having sentimental attachment to it and that I wouldn't miss it. I was so wrong. Really wish I kept it, but I sold it to someone who was just getting started and was super excited so maybe it's for the best. Great to see your rundown. Didn't realize you don't own a gh7. Something tells me it's only a matter of time on that one. Or maybe the gh7 isn't necessary for you know that you shoot s5ii for weddings. I feel very torn between adding a gh7 to my kit and sticking 100% mft, or adding a s5ii instead for some variety and low light versatility.

[@Cute_Maxi]

Come on Pentax... you know you want to bring back the Q series with a new body with a new sensor, modern image processing, maybe an EVF and some new lenses. I would love a dedicated Q model 00 macro lens because extension tubes don't work well on the Q series. I think a modernized Q camera with better low light, better video capabilities, bluetooth mic support, and some new lenses, etc would be absolutely amazing.

[@angeloplayforone]

Great collection of analog cameras.

[@Zobeid]

I think you may have missed your target slightly with the Pentax K-r. I favor the Pentax K-S1. It dates from 2014, has a 20MP sensor, seems to be the smallest DSLR that Pentax have produced-and I believe it might be the smallest DSLR of any brand to include a real penta-prism viewfinder, not the cheaper penta-mirror. And yes, it was also produced in a huge range of custom colors. I have one example in what they called the "Blue Cream Soda" color scheme and another in common, dignified, boring black.

[@bingbong4848]

MPB missed a trick with this episode 😂 Great collection 👍

[@MicroFourNerds]

😂

[@Raist3db]

GM5 series. Please keep pressuring Panasonic to make a true successor. 25MP new sensor. Keep the rest. Bonus: tilt LCD if it doesn't increase the size. NO ibis (I realize IBIS at this size would be really hard to do and power consumption, etc.).

[@pdtech4524]

I've got really bad G.A.S. 😊 Added a few to my vast collection recently, a lovely Canon AV-1, a Nikon F404, a Yashica FX-d, a few more film point and shoot cameras including another Olympus Pen ee half frame, already have a mint one. Lots of new M42 mount lenses including my Holy Grail Helios M44 and a carl zeis jenna ddr 135 all nint and all for pennies. I've been mounting them via adapter on my Lumix g3 📷 I'm constantly looking for more!😊

[@bluesrocker]

Very good collection!!! Helios 44 is very insane lens! And I happy to see just one Yashica owner! I'm a Nikon boy, but now I like to remember my very old 1967 yashica TL-1000 with 50/1.4 DX lens, just camera from my early years of photo hobby.

[@stevewheatstone1856]

Wow, that’s some collection! Probably very justified looking at your channel. I love what you can buy used. I came back to cameras after a 10+ break recently and have a purchased a used XT1, XT30II and A5100. Will need GAS treatment soon I’m sure.

[@garycope5332]

Hi Emily. I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work. This video made me think, so I did a bit of a stock take. I have counted 35 cameras in my list. If I remove the drones I am still at 31!!! I got my first camera in 1974, so at least I have been in the game for a while, and this doesn't include cameras that need repair. (which would take the list back to 35!) I regularly use 10 of them, so I suppose the rest are because I like them. I still have my first camera, but film for it can no longer be purchased. I could do a list but would take up too much space. Keep up the good work. Look kindly on my entry into the next photo competition, and I hope my G.A.S. has made you feel a bit better! Cheers from Australia.

[@selishots]

I regret selling my GH5. It's such a good camera. Filmed a lot of my first bigger projects with it.

[@A1223-v4i]

The gx85 and gx800 ALL DAYYY! I have them both since I can’t afford 900 dollars plus the lenses. It’s the lenses that get you. I really do not want to switch over to a full frame. It’s just to expensive but when I will. I’m going to get the S9 or S5ii.

[@dogblessamerica]

Oh wow! I used to have a c5060, I loved that camera sooo much in that era where DSLRs were just insanely expensive.

[@daveinportland]

The A5100 is a worthy upgrade from the A5000. The touchscreen itself makes it worth the purchase. It's funny how long Sony deleted that function from their cameras after the A5100 made it's debut. Have a great New Year.

[@phileo_ss]

I have the G100 and use it almost every day. But the previous owner obviously did not appreciate it: it was in perfect condition and still in its warranty when I bought it. I use the Sony ZV-1 for long videos that don't require long focal lengths.

[@angeloplayforone]

A long but interesting video that I enjoyed.

[@freespeechoneeach]

great camera collection. ive had a GF1 for years and love it but i might get the GF7 after your great reviews.

[@AlyxEvans]

Digital: Sony A7 IV, Sony A7, Nikon D200, Olympus E-400, Lumix LX100, Lumix LX7, full spectrum converted Lumix LX2. Analog: Nikon F2, F3, F4, F5, F60, Hasselblad 500EL, Canon T90, Olympus 35-SP, Olympus AF-1, Contax RX, Pentax 110 Auto, Polaroid SX-70 Sonar. Deffo not got GAS. Clearly. I'm fine.

[@brunoberger9490]

After i watched your video i don't feel I have to much cameras anymore 🙂: Panasonic GM1, Olympus OMD EM10 II silver with handgrip (lovely), Olympus OMD EM1 II, Fuji XE-1, Fuji X-T2, Fuji X-T5, Sony A7 IV, Leica M9 Monochrom, Fuji GFX 50s and several film cameras for example also my reccomendation for you is the Fujica GW 690. I use them all regularly and enjoy them. :-)

[@andreatilli6227]

What handgrip do you use with the e-m10?

[@brunoberger9490]

@ For my EM-10 MK II i use the original Olympus Grip ECG-3. Good in handling and it makes the camera even prettier. 🙂

[@frankinblackpool]

I too have GAS! 🤣🤣 Happy New Year.

[@FierceSleepingDog]

Late stage GAS for Oly MFT gear (and some PL lenses). I'm mostly done now. I can't think of anything else I need. I have too many bodies and lenses. I love them all. Now you've got me intrigued by the Pentax Q system. I've bought some gear from Japanese Ebay sellers recently . The items should be here in about 2 weeks.

[@jimmay8627]

When you mentioned having FD lenses because they readily adapt to m43, it occurred to me that a video on your m43 adaptation experiences/recommended alternate system lenses might be interesting, if you don't already have one.

[@nmecredy]

Wow Emily, that is quite a collection! I am surprised though that it doesn't include any bridge cameras, such as the Lumix FZ series or the Sony RX10. I guess your starting point was MFT so you didn't need bridge cameras; then the Lumix TZ series came in as travel cameras.

[@DrGantasala]

Awesome video as always

[@vermis8344]

'Camera delinquency', lol. I still want an olympus air, even if everyone says it's rubbish. Along with a couple of other weird things on that list. What do I have? OM-1 E-M1X OM-5 GX80 GX800 E-PL6 G3 And for film, a Nikon Onetouch AF90(?) that's been used maybe once in the last few decades. 😅 If that's bad, I had a lot of GAS for lenses too. Wildlife lenses, fan favourite lenses, cheap-but-nifty chinese lenses, adapted Canon FD lenses. I won't list them because I can't remember what half of them are, off the top of my head. 😂

[@GemmaHentsch]

while not perfect, particularly since I’ve added a small rig grip, makes for a very good edc, and i even took it out on some family walks recently rather than one of my ilc cameras… while the image quality isn’t as good as aps-c or full frame, its very capable in good light, and passable for low light photos, if not dealing with fast subjects.

[@leemoody9247]

I’ve got the same problem lol. M43, Fuji, LUMIX S!

[@manu1725]

recently i bought the GM1 from MPB.

[@steverajoo-r7p]

Hello Emily, I am definately suffering from G.A.S I have aquired the following digital cameras and about 40 assorted lenses, mostly vintage lenses: Nikon D700, D300s, D2hs & D70s; also Canon 6D, 1ds Mkii, 2 5D classics & a 50D; also Olumpus E1. E3, & E500, also: Minolta 7D, Sony A700, DSC R1, Panasonic Lx7 & a Fuji point & Shoot. I also have several film cameras...So you are not alone...lol

[@schlurf54]

I started shooting 1972 on Film with a Porst FX4, much later a Nicon F-401, Canon Ixus (unusable, no film) before I switched to digital, starting with Canon Ixus (broken), Ixus 300, Ixus 750. Then Olympus entered my life, E-M10 II (sold), E-M1 II (sold), E-M5 III and Pen E-P7. A short intermezzo with Ricoh GRIIIx (broken after 2 days). Unfortunately one of your videos gave me the idea to buy some Pentax 110 lenses and there was a film camera coming with the lenses. So the Pentax 110 Auto was loaded and used, soon after my old 35mm cameras were used as well. Along came a 1979 Olympus OM-2n and a 1955 Exa and the latest (and greatest) a 1950 Agfa Isolette II medium format folder. EDC is my E-M5 (not the Pen since it's lacking an EVF)

[@gamers_spot]

Thanks for the video, seems I am not Good morning the only one with this issue. 😂

[@KirstenBayes]

3 MFT cameras for me (G9, OMD E-M5, and a GF3), plus a Sony CX405 camcorder. We have adventures!

[@nevaknowmanamesame5089]

GAS is real. Planning to keep xt30 18-55, gm1 + 17mm, zenit ttl, holga and Nikkor 50 1.8

[@donwallace7354]

Unfortunately, my GAS is much worse, compounded by not getting near the use out of mine that you do from yours. I fell into the rabbit hole of vintage lens acquisition, and most of those come attached to a probably-doesn't-work camera, but that doesn't account for all of my problem! Big Pentax fan, as my first camera (which I still have) was the ME Super, but sadly it does not work. I have quite a few Pentax offerings, film and digital, including the Auto 110 Super, but I still want the Q!

[@dominiksostarko]

Which flash do you recommend on your Lumix G9 II or S5 II?

[@TheFuzzyskwerl]

Ooooooooo exciting!

[@Mamiya645]

Recently fell in love with the 7artisans 18mm 6.3 UFO II, but got thinking - what if I picked up a durable, compact, cozy, cold-weather survivable m43 cam, and the UFO II for m43 instead? That's my GAS now and what timing to get recommended this.

[@Merjia]

I bought a shelf yesterday so I'd have a place to store/display my cameras lol

[@alexkern1057]

I have 3 cameras and at times it seems like too many. My old epl1 gave up the ghost so I replaced with the g100 which I think is better than a C but maybe because I only care about still photography. I also have a Pen F which I love but seems to only get used on the weekends. I also have DLC 3 which I find entertaining

[@patrickmcfadden1689]

Nice collection, however, as a sad commentary, I am a retired engineer with a 50 year love of photography and it pains me to say, I have more cameras that you show here. And that is after giving away 10 cameras to family and friends lol. Mostly M43 then APSc and then full frame by the numbers. Love your videos.

[@4mooncheese]

Nicely Done. I counted the number of film and digital cameras in my apartment and the count is currently at 94. I would love to get into film photography at some point. I purchased a Nikon S2 last year which I would like to test out. Happy New Year.

[@MicroFourNerds]

Whoa! Now that's a collection 👌 happy new year!

[@Invincibleagent]

That ranking of the Canon F-1 is brutal, it's an amazing camera. Shame yours is broken though. Is it the part that pulls the film over (take up spool under the advance lever) or the rewind knob/arm? The latter is much easier to replace/fix...

[@thechampofwhatever]

With your love of small powerhouses I’m surprised you don’t have any of the Olympus PEN 35mm half frame cameras! They’re tiny jewels of engineering marvels. I have an EES-2 …it fits in the palm of my hand and makes for a great unobtrusive travel camera to bring just for the fun of it. Easier on the wallet with half frame too. Sorry if I stoked your GAS more 😬

[@houghwhite411]

Surprising you have xa20. I used to have that as well but a lot of it's part is broken so I sold it

[@mvaron2546]

I'm curious to know why Ricoh GR3 for really small is not in your collection. The longer I own it the more I love it. PS. I'm really enjoying your channel.

[@Alex_564]

Z cam E1 is technically the smallest m4/3 camera, not the Olympus Air. It was even smaller than the GM1(which I had) from the comparisons I've seen. Might be worth looking into.

[@davecarhart9618]

I thought you'd have more actually. I'm pretty sure Snappiness has you beat, so you have room to grow 😎. You have me beat with my mere 10 cameras and several dozen lenses, mostly Canon film and digital.

[@miket1291]

You don't have a problem, just a collection. That's OK. I still have my original OM10 I got in high school. It doesn't work but I'll keep it forever.

[@ATKR45]

I have 3 camera systems Sony, Nikon and Olympus. My latest acquisition is the 7Artisans 4mm circular fish eye in m43rds

[@acreone]

Hi Emily. What do you think of the Leica DLux8?

[@JasperBunschoten]

Waist lever viewfinder are the easiest thing ever to use! And don't call me a hipster! My Bronica can't be used any other way!

[@N0ld0r]

I am almost as bad.... I got back into photography 2 years ago after a ~10 year hiatus. 😄 I mainly used to photograph bands for album covers and live shows. I also did weddings. I took a long break because i started my career in IT, met a girl, got married, had 4 kids a house and a summer home. 😅 So after this hiatus i wanted to try all of the gear that i had missed.. So i bought 4 different second hand cameras. Some full frame, a M43 and a APS-C. Then i rotated out cameras i liked less. I followed videos online and bought other cameras. This went on for ~18 months before i found my new "home". During these 2 years i have gone through the following cameras : D700 (two of them), D600, 7D Mark II, X100S, X70, X-T1, X-T2, X-T20, X-E2, E-M10 mark II (3 of them), E-M10 Mark III, E-M10 Mark IV, E-M1X, E-PL7, PEN-F (2 of them), E-PL8, E-P5, E-PL1, GX880, GX85, GM1, OM-5, G9 and G9 Mark II... 😅 I have followed your channel for most of the way. I have now settled on a couple of cameras. I LOVED the D700s and had them from the start but even those have now been sold. I landed on the G9 Mark II as my A camera and an original G9 as my B camera. I have a GM1 as an EDC camera and i kept the E-M10 Mark IV for now but i might sell that to. Yes, i had some massive G.A.S for two years but now i feel that i have "caught up" with what i missed during my hiatus. 🙃

What about the Gh7 ?

[@andybaldwinphoto]

Similar to your Pentax K-r, I got a Pentax K-x because of the color. I used to race lime green Kawasaki KX motocrossers, so I just had to have a lime green Pentax K-x.

Don't feel guilty, though I am not as bad as you I would like to be a lot worse :P ... I just love different cameras for different shooting styles and user experiences. My main workhorse is the Oly OM-1 but I am thinking of adding the Pany G9 II as well because the OM-1 is just utterly useless for photographing dogs running around. I recently added Pany G1 and G2 (from Japan) in blue because they were my first mirrorless cameras (and 2nd/3rd cameras I ever owned) and I just adore the Panasonic 12 MP (RAW) files they just look so different to me. I also have a Pany G2 IR converted I got for 30 £ and a boring black Pany G1 that I got for 9 £ and I thought I could fix it but I can not so it's pure decoration now. I recently bought a Pentax K-7 DSLR because it was the camera I dreamed of having when I started photography 15 years ago but could never afford but now I got it for 50 £ from Japan and its just so much fun to shoot. I didn't experienced the DSLRs beyond the Pentax K200D I had back in 2008 for one year so it's really interesting to use it. The last camera that I have is the Pentax Q original, I got it because of the small size and fun factor and I want to use the 5.5x crop factor to photograph surface details of the moon and shoot mainly Black & White street images during the day. I would prefer a Pany GM1 (blue like yours) for the street photography but 2x crop factor is not the same as 5.5x for the moon shots. The maximum reach I can get right now is 1120mm but with the Q I could get 2750mm with a 500mm lens like the TTArtisan 500mm f 5.6 for 250 £ new. The one camera that I do miss badly is my favourite camera that I have ever owned, the Pany GX7 in silver. I miss the perfect size and grip with excellent ergonomics and just perfect for street photography. I really need to get one at some point. I do love the Pany GX8 for the weather sealing and a better fit for my Oly 17mm f 1.2 PRO and Oly 45mm f 1.2 PRO BUT that thing is as big as my OM-1 without the EVF hump.

I think that collecting cameras (and camera gear) is a legitimate hobby separate to 'taking pgotographs'. I tend to hoard, so I still own couple of old M42 bodies and lenses, some of which found an unexpected new lease of life when I got back into ILC cameras about 6 years ago. I try to be a bit disciplined about buying new gear only when what I have already is limiting me in some way. I guess some professionals take an unsentimental approach to their kit ("I've upgraded my work tools to Sony FF, so my old G9 set up is no longer needed and is going on MPB to fund my next trip") and other keep hold and find some other way to generate income from it, as you have. Apart from financial issues, I think the only issue with GAS is is if it arises from Gear Incompetence Syndrome (I'm not happy with my results, it must be because my camera isn't good enough, therefore I need to spend another £2.5k on the latest new camera) or progresses to Gear Snobbery Syndrome (I've just spent £2.5k upgrading to my new camera because I wasn't happy with my results with a camera like yours, therefore your results with that camera can't be any good).

I kept all the cameras I used over the years: Analog: Minox GT, Nikon F90, Contax T2, Yashica T4. Digital: Nikon Coolpix 990, Nikon D70, Casio EX-F1, Lumix GF1, GH3, GX80, GH5, GH6, G9-II. Action: Sony X3000, Insta360 X2 and X4 The Yashica T4 was a rescue from the garbage. The others got at least 2 years of heavy usage, the F90 got more than 10 years as main camera.

[@robertyanal3818]

No Sony RX100 v or vi or vii?

[@larsvanderwolf3173]

Is the Olympus E-M5 good enough to make shortfilms ya reckon?

[@MicroFourNerds]

I wouldn't pick any older olympus for video, personally, though the vast majority of older (and newer) Lumix cameras are superb for video 😊 the GH line is specifically video-centric but plenty of others do great too

[@seamuncher]

I already sold my nikon d5000 2 years ago. But now with my p900, d7500 plus 7 lenses for it. Em, Fm, pentax auto110, yashica electro 110, two limited edition mini nikon minox for my film cameras 😂, and for my mirrorless pentax q10 and the q. With 02, 01, 06 lenses. And for sure this will increase. 😂

What do the letters stand for in your categories? Particularly the S coming before the A. Do you know how alphabet ordering works?

[@MicroFourNerds]

Lol Google a tier list. It's Japanese and veryyyy well established 🙈

[@jjones2582]

@@MicroFourNerds Thanks.

[@johnniewelbornjr.8940]

Thanks for a good chuckle today! If you're happy with your collection, that is truly all that counts. Alas, I've yet to find any over-the-counter products for this but I've suffered from the affliction before (so many have and I come by it naturally from my dad, most likely lol). I still like my large gear (ask me in a few years if I feel the same after packing it all in for landscapes/wildlife at my age lol). Do I curse Oly menus? I'll never tell (and no asking wildlife in my region lol)... Rarely, to be honest, but there are those moments... I always enjoy your vids, though. Thanks for sharing and happy New Year, as well!

[@MicroFourNerds]

Happy New Year! ☺️

[@dingoeatswolf3663]

Just picked up the Ricoh rz3000 yesterday 😂. The daughter was after another point and shoot film camera after the Olympus mju gave up the ghost…..AUD$250 ouch! 😫

[@mondujar279]

Me buying another new camera is a family joke now. I’m seeking total perfection of course which is futile! But I don’t have a big collection as I sell the old ones to fund the new. I wish I hadn’t because I could spend a lot of time just looking at them. Would save me having to do that photography stuff

[@houghwhite411]

Wow, Emily, how much dry box space do you have? A trunk full?

[@MicroFourNerds]

I'm a no box sort of gal! Once I buy something and check it's working, I commit haha

[@keiththewheelman]

Emily keep collecting it's not like cameras take up a lot of space like bicycles or cars... If you can find a reason to shoot with it or you feel some sentimental or historical value it's all good. I am up to about 20 cameras and I'm not a professional. At the core I use my OM1 the most usually for wildlife and macro photography. My everyday carry is an TG-7. I have an tz50 so I can do wildlife photography will out for a run. And I have a samsung NX mini and an olympus PEN for social/general photography. The rest my collection is some legacy 4/3 gear or I had to because the camera was cheap, cool, innovative or weird... and a couple more tough cameras. And I will probably pick up some more. There are many worse habits that some photography GAS.
