This camera takes "REAL" photos! (Leica M11-P)

[@stuhunter]

Man, David is great at camera reviews. Having someone who is passionate about the subject but otherwise spends his days on other tech subjects comes through in his dialogue...he clearly loves making these. Also, this was the best explanation of Content Credentials that I have found yet. Great stuff

[@ak_hoops]

Agreed!

[@fredrikjohansson]

100% agree, he also has a great voice and tempo in his speech. They should start a separate camera review channel!

[@lookslikekevin]

No doubt. Markus…it’s your shop. You already know that putting the spotlight on talent is a critical element necessary in achieving excellence. This kid David might very well be your best resource and extension of your capacity. 🙌

[@JoshDotSeeEh]

Not only is David really passionate about this stuff, but he explains it REALLY WELL. Great qualities for someone making videos like this. Well done, man.

[@Gertol31]

I have to say that your camera videos are some of my favorites on youtube. They never feel too long and I like the balance of not to much spec reading.

[@BeginAgainSG]

eh. this one was kinda boring and long. I prefer the camera reviews where he talks about how the photos are being taken, the physics etc, then shows some sick shots. this....was a wiki article being read on camera.

[@true_north_media]

I've been subed and watching for about a year now and David's camera videos are literally THE BEST THING that is uploaded from the MKBHD Studio. I would love to see a series where he explains more about cameras. Everything from the basics of photography (exposure triangle) to the technical side like sensors sizes, color sciences and lens options. Also massive credit to the graphics, very well done as always both in quality and story telling.

[@rock3tgr33n2]

I absolutely love them too, as good as it gets. except the dust ad fingerprints on the camera in the opening shot just kinda hurt my soul, also the lens was focused on the shotgun mic the whole video... the actual contents of the video, the explanation, writing delivery was perfect. But the studio has built quite the name for itself in production value, and this seems sloppy.

[@amirecs]

can we just take a moment to appreciate how good David's camera reviews are?

[@fredericofrancisco]

It deserves its own dedicated channel. For real.

[@mavfan1]

Can we just acknowledge how old and tired the "can we just take a moment..." comments have become?

[@stevenqirkle]

is this even a camera review?

[@MarkGarutti]

@@stevenqirkle this

[@OLBastholm]

This is not a camera review at all

[@latenightmurmur]

One I really appreciate David bringing light to this and also just great video overall

[@benjhaisch]

Always love seeing your takes on these, David.

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Two good AI-related videos from David this week, both really interesting and thought provoking. Thank you!

[@connorschaal2729]

Killer description. I think this is definitely the future for professional photographers especially those in the documentary sector!

[@doomerconsumer]

I love the editing and David's presentation! You guys are killing it along with the Waveform podcast.

[@cjmedina.24]

David is all hits, no misses around here. Loving his solo videos

[@darryl_young]

Great video, David. This is somehow the first time I've come across this channel, but I'll definitely be coming back after this.

[@beatricecapelli7634]

The David's lessons are always the best. Aside that and how beautiful and divulgative these videos are, we should hope that some method like this takes place, otherwise internet will become a very very dark jungle.

[@LuisRomero-sx6kw]

I'd love to see David's take on a beginner getting into photography or film photography specifically, he has really captivated my attention with this stuff but I wouldn't be sure where to begin!

[@madhanchandru582]

I’ve been documentary wedding photographer for more than 3yrs now and I was completely unaware of this topic. Thanks for this video.

[@spooky_lights]

Great video, David! Just got mine this week. Sooo good with low light and shadow recovery. I haven't really dealt with the "credentials" thing yet, but it's nice to have.

[@kildaremedia]

This kinda reminds me of how old developed photos would have a tamp on the back of them with the brand or data of the film

[@neilgandhi7517]

Best camera reviewer on the planet. Please do reviews for more cameras and lenses across all brands!

[@tom4626]

I genuinely have just a passing interest in photography and this corner of tech - but the storytelling and this videos production is so compelling and satisfying I’ve stayed and learnt something - thanks

[@mohamedfasialhassan]

David deserves an Oscar for the clarity and simplicity explanation 🎉🎉

[@top_down_fly_cam6424]

David is becoming one of my favorite youtubers... excellent video.

[@CreaminFreeman]

“What even is a photo?” has overtaken my brain thanks to you, haha! So glad to see it getting it’s time in the spotlight

[@Draconis8888]

Thank you so much David! Appreciate the simple and clear explanation and use case for this. I look forward to your contributions to this channel. I'm hoping Content Credentials does gain traction and is implemented more widely.

[@dandesant]

I love this new videos with a touch of MKBH and the personality of each guy of The Studio, love it 😎👍

[@AV.Creative]

love davids studio vids so much 👌 it'd be rlly cool if you like a quick photo walk or smth one time

[@BrendanEvan]

I don’t really care about the camera but knew David would deliver a worthwhile video.

[@LostPics]

A strong david week, thx for the informations. In 2 years or so i think this will be a big topic. Glad to see how it starts!

[@sazomedia]

Love the video, David! I hope you make an actual review for that camera in the near future!

[@TheStudio]

We have full reviews for the regular M11 and M11 Monochrome! This camera is almost exactly the same as the regular M11 so I didn’t really see a reason to do the same review again.

[@sazomedia]

@@TheStudio that’s fair! Thanks for the reply!

[@mhaustria]

Great explanation, people need to understand that this is very important. The screenshot thing could be avoided with digital watermarks. Hope this will get lots of attention in the future. Thanks for doing this video!

[@DreamOfFlying]

Digital watermarks can be edited out with generative fill. A watermark would need to be overlayed over a large portion of the photo or video. But that would be annoying and destroy a lot pieces.

[@U2haveanicedayty2]

David Really love your videos. I have had this exact experience where my work was used although I’m not famous it still makes me feel some type of way. Thanks so much for sharing.Always enjoy your work and for keeping it real.✌️💯

[@pieterflorus]

This makes me genuine happy. As a photographer who wants to do this as an art form I hated Ai and the upcoming tools that are in this world right now. But Ai works so well when working for clients. This tool just gives me a real split in my work and others will know what is modified and what not. So the real art can and will stay art, but my client work can be mixed with Ai *sigh of relief*

[@JaceKeller]

David is amazing. Hands down my favorite host

[@PhilKnall]

This was a very different video than i thought, im glad i clocked? Great job Team!

[@marcozmonteiro]

Hey David, thanks for sharing this info, I was not aware of this particular technology and now I am thanks to you =)

[@k-dog2010]

David needs to make more camera videos. I used to have no interest in them, but now I love cameras

[@MrRashad202]

Great Video, David! Thanks for spreading the knowledge on this area of photography📚

[@TheCoBBus]

I was so super exited for a hot minute when I first thought that someone made a camera that mimics the field of view and depth of eyes, to take s picture so it would be as close as possible to 1:1 comparisons

[@jaysondoster9729]

David drives me crazy on WVFRM but I love his camera videos. Really good.

[@GoranVugrinec]

Born to educate. Well done David.

[@rayyan_2_next]

Love these videos ❤

[@aditjindal]

I expected a camera review, what I got is a hundred times better. I've been following David 's content for a while, and he just keeps getting better

[@BlakeHelms]

It would be cool if this could be enabled on smart phone photos as well.

[@vodouch17]

Yeah i think we're not far from it. You already have cryptographic chips on every smartphone since most of your data on phone is encrypted by default so a software update could bring it quite easily. And in my opinion that would be the point of critical mass that he has talked about.

[@EquatorialVillager]

Truepic is an example of an SDK that adds CAI capabilities to any "photo" app on Android and IOS. So if it caught on even apps like Filmic Pro could easily link against them to gain said capabilities. So, even if the phone manufacturers didn't do it in the stock app there are ways for third parties to integrate it if they wanted. The keys could be stored in the enclaves that are already provided by many manufacturers via SDKs.

[@joool1257]

David photography channel when?

[@michaelchen2718]

A related point: Google has made the reverse image search so convoluted at this point to the point where it is extremely difficult to track the oriign of an image.

[@benefitothers]

Thought this was going to be a rehash of known info. Surprised with new info. Great video.

[@Simenoyen]

Great video David! Lets hope this becomes a standard in every camera going forward. Is there any news about how phone cameras would handle this?

[@camdobie]

Dave is a champ. Great video!

[@djnomad1102]

I love david videos

[@sayaIbnuFajar]

Leica as always (micro) refining it's M camera range, and David as always goes beyond numbers and specs and deep dive on something new to learn in photography. Then there's me as always waiting for more content like this on The Studio channel 👍UP! as always.

[@farzinfarsi]

I love the background of this video

[@michaelchen2718]

4:43 so my quesrtion is, naturally, is there a way to exploit this where you can "bring in" an AI-generated image to a software such as Adobe, and still assign it content credentials? 5:12 6:32 This is why I say that if this were grounded in blockchain, I feel like it would solve the problem. If the original source point (e.g. Dall-E) is embedded in the blockchain, then false verifications should go down to zero.

[@bernardino_boat]

I really loved this video, The explanation was boom💥💯💯. Although I wonder how a camera could be that expensive🙀🙀

[@DobromirManchev]

Pretty neat idea! I hope it sticks around...

[@DistilledStills]

Love this! It's like beefed up EXIF data!

[@stalman]

Great review, I want this camera bad

[@leeaxon01]

Great presentation well done David.

[@timo7209]

I really like the knowledge of David about Cameras and explaining things in an easy way. Is there any possibility to get a Video from the Studio or Main Channel about how a Super Slow Motion Camera works? Not the usual "filming in 120fps", more like "How does the tech work to enable a camera to capture 1000, 5000 or even 10000 frames per second" There is basically no Video or Blog on this I can find 😅

[@JPMongeS]

I am curious on how apps like Instagram will use this feature (if they use it) and how will they enable the user to see that information when they see a photo uploaded by a photographer they follow. I am a photographer that uploads photos on a daily basis and features like alt text are buried in the advanced features when posting. Would love it to be more of an upfront feature.

[@akyshah25]

What’s the camera setup at 4:32? Film camera mounted with a smartphone?

[@reignmuzeiya7432]

What we need (also) is an app where people could share their photos for people to like, see and admire.

[@LukeAntunes]

I think this is great tech! Thanks for sharing

[@BrownieX001]

Everything already has different kind of metadata and much of is writable which can be used for privacy reasons. What prevents a company from forcing geolocation to be saved and then it isn't changeable and anyone can see it?

[@wietse5481]

How would the metadata be shown on social media. Because right now you can’t see meta data from images on social media. Would that mean that all the platforms need to change the way of storing images?

[@DavidImel]

You wouldn’t need to change the way they’re stored as the manifest is embedded into the image file. Because it’s open sourced Instagram and other social media would just need to add a few lines of code to show the badge.

[@khalilchan2485]

[@herazka]

What an amazing camera. Top class.

[@DemonSlayer-vh8uy]

[@cocutou]

What if someone uses an older camera and uploads the jpgs straight out of the camera. Will there be credentials for that? Feels like this idea has so many loopholes.

[@shrabanihati]

Want such more videos from David.

[@tbillington]

Great informative video. I'm not a photographer but this idea will hopefully take off.

[@thanyawong]

May I ask you? Can you connect Fotos app to the Leica M11P while it is turned off? So Fotos app will wake up camera and establish the connection. I cannot do with my Leica M11.

[@ak_hoops]

Phenomenal video!!

[@spicy_fiona]

100th video and it's by David on photography🤩

[@__-lt4hm]

Interesting subject. For news and media photos, they would still be edited before upload, which would still make it hard to know how authentic, or what editing was done to that image. Unless, they have/use an editing software that only allows for basic photo editing.

[@TomGally]

Excellent video. I learned a lot. The title was a bit misleading, though. I thought it would be a camera review, which, to tell you the truth, I am only mildly interested in, as I am never going to buy a camera like that. The actual content was much more worthwhile to me.

[@syafiqgemuk]

well done video dude

[@bobsykes]

This helps. Great explainer. I would say it is absolutely feasible for every news gathering organization to provide cameras enabled for this or only accept images from cameras that have it. That would cost little, force all the camera, and more importantly cell phone makes, to add this really fast.

[@southendsites]

If the original is a raw file like Pentax pef that cannot be edited and saved as a pef then this could be the start point? Just a thought if so many more reliable images could be created. Idea?

[@markie.15]

More Leica videos please, David!

[@thevisionary6851]

Another David video life is good. .

[@rafaelalmeida2478]

Is this something that could be on the software? Like on update you could let other cameras to have it?

[@sensnowy]

Question. How do you correctly use the new iPhone camera set with the log function to make it look this good. Black magic app and then? Teach us

[@angrd020]

I've been doing my own version of "Content Credentials" since 2017 using the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. My process involved creating an MD5 and later a SHA256 hash of my images in addition to the arbitrary data related to the capture. P.S. I have recently joined the CAI as a contributor and hope to share my experiences in ensuring the provenance of images. Good Times!

[@xPorkchops007x]

This concept could be further applied to any user generated content to reduce spam on social media

[@yoitsba]

A way around the screenshot thing is to have manufacturers sign screenshots as screenshots when they happen. Same with manufacturers of scanners, etc. That way no image starts off with a blank manifest. Otherwise this whole initiative starts off with a glaring and easily exploitable gap in it.

[@calebchristensenviolin]

EXACTLY!

[@GatorAidMedical]

that sounds like a nightmare. I already can't screenshot netflix to share memes with my friends.

[@yoitsba]

@@GatorAidMedical no ones saying you can't do something

[@GatorAidMedical]

@@yoitsbayet. Having in built monitoring of what you are screenshotting being processed on an off-device cloud network would be both expensive as well as an overreach of privacy / ripe for exploit

[@yoitsba]

@@GatorAidMedical 1. why would it need to be processed off device? 2. do you know how much processing it takes to create a manifest.json file? 🤣 3. Metadata is metadata, it isn't personally identifiable by nature. I'm confused as to how this could be a privacy concern. This is a win-win for manufacturers with minimal effort and 99.99% of users would never even notice a difference.

[@SoftKitty0930]

Is it possible to update caneras released in recent years retrospectively to add the Content Credential hardware?

[@vivekanand2588]

Hey, what scanner do you use for scanning film photos.

[@wdora930]

Love it. No more fake news

[@beyondtime19]

Which watch does David wear?

[@noenken]

Great explanation and the idea behind it makes total sense. The problem is that this might backfire if it becomes a widely known standard. The more successful it becomes the more likely it is for bad actors to take aim. And when it gets cracked (and it will) it will be even harder to identify misinformation. I think the only possible way to deal with fakes and AI generated stuff is through education. People need to be aware of it.

[@omgawesomeomg]

No need to crack it. You can literally just sign an AI generated photo. Everything from there on is tracked, but nothing that happened to the image before. Unless cameras automatically sign images at time of creation, this whole system is just based on good will.

[@noenken]

Well they do. ... Have you watched the video? lol @@omgawesomeomg But nothong is stopping you from photographing a projection or a print of something that was manipulated. And like I said it will get cracked.

[@fluffyraider]

How do you scan film?

[@MaxBabilunga]

the only way to trust a piece of content is to trust the source (or that someone else you trust signed it) it has been like this for a long time and it will always be like this Content credentials is a convenient way to show what exactly was done to the video (only if you trust the source already)

[@MrBluees1]

Cool, good to know. Thank you ☺️

[@Kedanize_2025]
