This video couldn’t have come out at a more perfect time.. I’ve recently fallen in love with the Fuji X100Vi and I still adore my Nikon Z8.. but here I was hovering over the pre order button for the Leica q3 43 because a couple mates have Leicas and the idea of having one sounded appealing.. but I’m having SO much fun with my gear right now.. why spend £5900.. thanks Roman

Great video ! I'd much rather spend money on travel these days. GAS is easier to avoid if you frequent photography forums less ! Everyone online seems obsessed with the latest, greatest and convincing themselves they need it. I recently got a beat up X-Pro 1 and have started using my X-T1 again because I like the tones and colours from X-Trans v1 and X-Trans v2 - AF is pretty crap on these cameras but I don't care, you learn to work around it. And 16MP is plenty enough for 99% of photography. The bonus is I can visit anywhere and not really care too much about getting my kit stolen because it's not worth that much.

This. I have multiple Canon cameras for work but still treasure my X-Pro 1. The images are something special and it's so slow it's almost like shooting film, but without the hassles of film.

Roman, Another excellent video, so thank you. I only wish I could have watched this video, and taken your advice to heart, when I was a much younger person. I only, later on in life, in my 60’s, discovered the joy of using one of the many iterations of Fuji’s X100 series camera (I’ve owned them all). The joys of not having to worry about the decisions required about the lenses to carry, and all of the ancillary accessories was rather enabling, and my photography started to bring me joy again. That simple camera, as you put it, was a joy to use, carry, and produced many excellent images. So, thank you for this advice.

@v5745 2 ай бұрын

i agree with everything except your choice of lenses. Having 24-70 and 35 in fact is just duplicating the same (you can set 35 on 24-70). IMHO much more versatile is using two bodies - one compact hight quality body (I use for this Ricoh GRIII) and second with light telephoto (70-200), I use R6 + 70-200 F/4 due to its compactness. This or similar setup is much more versatile in travel photography and you really shall try this - you will soon find out, how much oportunities you're missing by not using 70-200 lenses. Such lenses don't interfere with people's privacy zone and enable you to cut out any unnecesary trash from the scene. Rgds,

I wonder though, is it possible to learn this without going through it yourself? I've told myself countless times already, there's no point in getting new gear if you're not taking good pictures. I watch my old pics taken with cameras and lenses I sold years ago and I find myself going "wow these look great, why did I sell this gear?". But then morning comes around and I've ordered a new expensive camera and sold my previous one. I mean I do enjoy most of the gear I buy, but it's almost like an expensive disease. Great video and great points! But they will do no good! :)

I used to walk around with two Canon R6 cameras and a bunch of lenses at all times, including a telephoto. Was way to heavy, and made it less fun to go out shooting. Now I've reduced my equipment down to a Leica M-P 240 and a simple 35mm lens. Much happier this way, and shooting is fun again. Objectively it's a worse camera. Worse in low light, less dynamic range, outdated menu. But it weighs significantly less, is fun to use, and still takes phenomenal photos. I bring it everywhere I go, and I no longer need a backpack. I still kept one of my modern cameras and the telephoto for the few times I need them for work, but for the most part they stay at home. The rest I sold.

I’ve spent a lot over the years on cameras and lenses: micro 4 thirds, APSC and full frame. While I love and use many of them, some of the most fun I’ve had, and some of the best images I’ve taken were with the original Olympus OMD EM5 and an 18mm lens. Super fun, and ultimately, image quality wasn’t as important as the quality images I captured with it.

@dwbonbon3370 2 ай бұрын

I completely agree with all you say here. The challenge for us all is (i) ignoring the noise from camera manufacturers eg advertising, spec creep including for fuji only making 40mp x-t bodies now, larger lens creep to cope with large sensors etc, (ii) ignoring the Internet chatter about big, expensive, lots of gear is best / a necessity and (iii) ignoring fome, gas etc that can drive our own minds. So there are a lot of forces working against us regarding much of your advice here, but we must persevere. Regarding fuji, i am certainly no expert, I just think the direction they have been moving which I allude to above is very unfortunate, though unsurprising and probably inevitable. Aslo, new gear is just getting so much more expensive eg x-t50 v 30 new when both were released. Finally an irony in the whole thing is that for 95% of us who arent pros or top amateurs, that so much of the money we spend for cameras (and perhaps lenses to a lesser extent) is for features we never use or know how to use. It's a shame they can't cater for that market. Good video and love your channel.

@matt88169 2 ай бұрын

Monitor calibration is relatively inexpensive and not a gimmick unless your monitor is calibrated/ color accurate from the factory (hence $$$). Even then, controlling the color gamut can be critical. I like to actually print my photos, so matching my display to a printer is important to preventing me from wasting money because I missed a green/blue/red tint/poor contrast. My prior monitor had me pulling back reds a lot, and I didn't catch it until I printed the photos and they all had ugly green tints - today's "wide gamut" monitors are not ideal for photo editing, really, so a simple calibration might save you. I also recommend getting a flash (like a godox) for $100-$200 and learning it. That more than any lens improved my photo quality, consistency, and sharpness. Not to mention, I find it fun to try manipulating lighting for all scenarios. I also invested in a $5 white card to help in setting white balance in certain challenging lighting scenarios (and to double as a big bounce card if I need one). Polarizers, NDs, good bags and straps are also not a waste (and can be used with future cameras. But 100% I agree that not chasing the latest and greatest features and camera bodies is bound to disappoint. No camera has been released in the last 6 years that, IMO, offers me anything my X-T3 doesn't already have, aside from quicker AF or somewhat better image quality. Although, admittedly, I want newer cameras, when I think about upgrading, it is usually for a used flagship from the major brands - a D850 or Canon R5 is tempting at this point, but both are downgrades in some ways. Putting the money into the best lenses you can afford is almost always a far better decision.

@washingtonradio 2 ай бұрын

Great points, buy gear you will use regularly and enjoy using. One thing I have noticed that gear at similar price points tend to have similar overall specs ($1200 mirrorless bodies are similar enough specs that it really doesn't matter which you buy). Also, I switching or upgrading gear without a solid reason for your situation should be avoided.

I think it depends on the kind of places you visit or use as to lenses. As we were going places where I potentially needed more reach 70mm wouldn’t have been enough.

Not everyone considers a camera a tool and they shouldn’t be criticised for that, especially if those doing the criticising are constantly upgrading their software, computers etc in the background. Personally, I hate custom buttons/wheels and I want, and am prepared to pay for, a camera with as few of those possible. If having that means buying a camera more expensive than a camera with better technical features so be it because my value for money sweet spot lies at a different point.
