Thanks for another great video. And im a pentaxian due to my first one being a pentax 35mm camera. I met and talked with my brothers wedding photographer and well she uses canon because that was her first camera. So im thinking 99% of the time its usually what you got for first camera.

[@kyleanderson9281]

As a photojournalist, I find the feel of cameras very important. Unlike a studio environment, in the field, you'll miss shots and lose money if you spend a second too long fiddling with a dial or menu setting. I use Canon cameras because that's what I started with and what I'm comfortable with. I know those cameras backwards and forwards, so "my camera wasn't configured properly" has functionally never been a reason that I've missed a shot. That being said, many of my colleagues use cameras from every other brand. Sony is the most popular, and most tell me it's because of the 1) wealth of custom function buttons and 2) an unbeatable spec sheet for the price. I also know two pro photogs who shoot Nikon, easily the least popular photojournalism brand, because they concur that no camera stat is more important than your comfort with your gear in our line of work, and they're just really comfortable with Nikon, their menus, their layouts, and all of their features.

LETS SEE THAT 50D PHOTOGRAPHY WITH ALL YOUR NEW SKILLS

[@EddyTheChump]

I shoot portraits and editorials. I use a 5D mk II and a mamiya rb67. I'm a huge proponent of using what you have and that it's you that makes the work special not your kit. But the Fuji GFX 100s is a complete s*x biscuit of a camera that I feel tugging at G.A.S on the daily lol. I would use it to scan my 67 negatives as well, so it would really be a complete upgrade for me right guys?...Guys?...

[@burrdaddy]

I really appreciate this channel.

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@corbinpearce7686]

I think Canon has the market locked down on studio focused cameras. Like you mentioned, they’re good quality, and they’re reliable. Nikon really focuses on sports and wildlife, and Sony cameras cares more about being a multimedia system than a photos on their own.

[@RileyJohnson37]

This is my thoughts as well. I know the D8x0 bodies from Nikon were pretty commonly used in studio, but it's always felt Canon has a good grasp on normal studio, events, etc. Excepting of course shoots where Hasselblad, Phase One, etc were involved with odd super high end clients. As soon as Mirrorless came out, Canon continued the strangle on Studio as Nikon and Sony have moved more outdoors, sports, wildlife, etc. Nikon didn't come out with Mirrorless fast enough, they didn't have a "professional" camera in the studio photographers variety, and the D850 moved into more landscapes so Canon forged on in studio. If I shot studio, I'd probably move to Canon as well for the reason of interfacing with others. But I shoot landscapes of different varieties so I stick with my Nikon gear. I shot my D810 in studio classes in college, and people loved its imagery, but the ability to interface with your co-shooters is important. Picking up their gear and just shooting is important as Scott mentions.

[@mortenthorpe]

Mmm… how would Canon own studio shooting, when they don’t even have medium format cameras? The Fuji GFX smokes full frame cameras, especially in studio!

[@corbinpearce7686]

@@mortenthorpe Because the truth is most of the time medium format is widely overkill. 95% of people, even in the commercial space, will never need 150, 100, or even 50MP images. Ultra crazy resolution isn‘t the end all be all for if a camera is worth using.

[@mortenthorpe]

@@corbinpearce7686 hmm… have you ever worked with editing medium format files? The ease of editing these is amazing… the dynamic range leverage is second to none… the tonality also offered by the dynamic range is also quite remarkable, so even if you’re in a controlled environment (dynamic range is less important),, then the image itself really benefits from the sensor capabilities.

[@corbinpearce7686]

@@mortenthorpe I haven't worked with them. I'm not disagreeing that they must be a treat to have. I'd love to do it someday even. But more most people, it's wildly unnecessary. The final product is in almost every circumstance going to be printed or shown in less than 24MP think how phones are 1920x1080, and billboards print at 100 dpi. For most shoots, you don't need medium format, and Scott has said it in multiple videos too...

[@seralegre]

Canon for profesional use have many good points: the biggest technical service of all brands (doesnt matter where are you in the world), biggest second hand market, biggest lens market, experience has a profesional use brand (they know what do you need, mostly) and it's reliable. Some generations are not on the top new tecnology, but no one is on the top every year, so... and also you can use EF lenses in the EOS film cameras. Anyway, nowdays all brands and all models are absourdly good. Lucky time to be a photographer.

[@Ryan_Wiseman]

My choices are more bizarre, but here they are. For camera brand, I go with Sony, and if I could afford it, RED. I like to shoot on older Nikon glass and vintage lenses, with my oldest lens being a Pre-AI lens. I'd argue these work better on even higher end cameras compared to the ones they were intended for. Most of the namebrand vintage lenses were already made with high resolution in mind Pairing that more vintage look with Slog3 introduces a lot of the character that many lenses attempt to replicate. Now I'd put my loyalties toward Leica lenses if it didn't cost me all my organs and then some do to so. Those lenses tend to interpret colors in ways that work well for my stylistic approach

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I use mostly micro four thirds. A Lumix S1R because I believe it's better than the 5Ds I used to use. My Canon cameras insisted on dropping out of live view when I was trying to focus a TS-E lens, on the S1R they're pretty much the same as any other lens. Photographing things, not people, I could get 187 megapixels each shot.

[@gohumberto]

I'd love to see what you can do with a 50D (or any bargain basement DSLR really). I just did a demo (at my tiny photo club) of a portrait shot on a member's 350D (Currently £30 on MPB !!!!!). The results were really nice (1 Yongnuo flash (£90) via a Neewer Brolly £20) and my Canon 50 f/1.4. I mean... Thirty Quid, for a perfectly great little camera ... with 6 month warranty. I hate that so many good cameras are overlooked. The 50D is £100 now. That's frankly ridiculous and I just want to buy all of them. Basically a pro-level build quality camera for the price of a good night out. Wait a few years and they will all be "classics" and kids will be rediscovering Canon colour-science ... and paying a fortune for these cameras from the mid-2000s

I'd be curious to see how you'd shoot something metal/ reflective with the 50D. I've seen a few of your drink photography videos with lighting glass, and I'd imagine it would be similar, but different? Great video as always Scott. Love your work!

[@lmnop7098]

Wow that food photo with the Zeiss lens looks amazing. Love how black and white looks on film too.

[@scottmorgan8845]

Only just discovered this channel. Love the content 👌

[@jamesbruce]

Always wanted a cambo system, never really had a reason to own it for my work. Also, I think my favorite lens for video ever is the sigma 18-35 on a lumix gh5. Great video, makes me think about why I use the kit I use and why I stayed in a particular lane. Thanks

[@poohstevenson6301]

Yes I would love to see what you create with that first camera! My main body is a Canon Mark 11 (have 2 ) because I know this camera like the back of my hand. Could have upgraded but why? Have a nice collection of lens and recently got into the fujifilm ecosystem. Really love your channel. Good, down to earth advice . Keep up the good work my friend.

Oh man, I still have my first editions of the Canon 16-35, 24-70, 70-200, 50 1.4 and 80 1.8. And I still use them on my current R6 with adapter. In fact, they were better now on my mirrorless than any other body I’ve had. And I’ve stuck with canon because I had so much invested in lenses.

[@dedclownsRfunny]

Brilliant! I can’t stand fanboi-ing any brand of anything really. My needs change as my circumstances change. I might have experiences or reasons to stay away from or gravitate toward certain brands, but I don’t get so locked in that I feel the need to verbally bash or look down on people who choose something different to what I choose.

[@johnkorth8599]

For digital I shoot Canon because thats what the salesman recommended to me, but for film I have my dad's old Pentax Super-Program

[@eltee5696]

Don't know if you remember You & Your Camera. Great partworks weekly magazine. Every week, there'd be a section on kit, one featuring a famous photog (I remember salivating over Steve Powell's kit), a darkroom section ... They were my photography textbook and I still have the magazines. It was obviously an inspirational magazine and your channel is the 2020s version of the magazines. Thank you

[@batworker]

My first digital camera was a 450d (still got it and it’s the camera I take away on holiday as it’s smaller and lighter than my 6d with the nice lens, and I’m prepared to carry it all day). At the school where I work the photography teacher also has canon, I’m actually network manager but do the photography support too. As a result of this the school cameras are canon, because both of us understand how they work and where the menus are. Quite often we get students who buy a Nikon, when they turn up and ask ‘can you find out how…’ my first comment tends to be “couldn’t you spell C-A-N-O-N?”

[@sparkeyjames]

So what you're telling me is that Canon cameras are simple stupid? There's a reason Nasa uses Nikon cameras and have done so since the 1980's. The higher end models are built like tanks and just work. There is a reason the Nikon F6 was considered the best 35mm film camera ever made it's because it was reliable. From the 1960's through the 1990's Nikon literally dominated the 35mm photo journalism segment. Nikon's lenses are arguably without peer. Up until 2009 you could take the majority of modern Nikon F mount lenses (specialty lenses not withstanding) and put it on a Nikon F mount Camera made in 1959 and it would just work. The reverse is also true you could take a lens made in 1975 and put it on say a D850 (2017) and it would work metering included (no autofocus of course). Canon can't say the same. I see all sorts of adapters to put Nikon glass on other brands of cameras but literally NONE to put other companies lenses on Nikon cameras. The problem where Nikon fails is they try to build their own ecosystem of accessories and refuse to comply with industry standard equipment interoperability except for the bare minimum like tripod mount screw and standard flash shoes. They also refuse to invest in helping companies make accessories that seamlessly work with their cameras even where Nikon themselves have no competing product. Instead forcing others to reverse engineer things in order to do so. So my advice to you Mr. Not so Smart is buck it up. Buy a Nikon camera learn it so you can help your students who chose to buy a Nikon and quit acting like a Canon fanboi.

[@jensgaethje8555]

I like the feel and the menu of the Canons. Also I had 2 friends with professional Canon gear, I could borrow, when I started out ... that helped a lot. There's things I dont like about Canon like their strange "excluding of features that would not cost them a dime" policy , but the most important is to get to know the gear you have and to find its sweet spots 👍

[@ryanmccutcheon4298]

Yes, please shoot something in your typical style with the 50d! I'm sure it will stun a lot of people. Not me, because I know how good older dslrs were and still are. I think cameras that came out between 2007 and 2012 were the best!

[@gabrieltarcsa7428]

The Canon 50D is one of my favorite old crop sensor cameras and I love using it even today! It is built like a tank! It always gives me a similar shooting experience to a 5D Classic. I would love to see what can You do with it!

[@stevenlang7709]

APS-C sensor, not crop sensor only the image can be cropped.

[@robertleeimages]

In January 2019 and almost 48yo i started with a fuji s6500fd trying to learn nightscape photography after seeing a local guys images, by the July of 2019 i was looking at something more modern but on a very limited budget. After a fair bit of research i went to a local store intending to purchase a Nikon D3400, there just happened to be a Canon rep in store that day who saw me struggling to come to grips navigating the Nikon's menu system and offered some help. That help turned into me purchasing a Canon 200d which right from the start felt good in the hand and was so simple to navigate, it came as a 2 lens package 18-55mm and 55-250mm and it's what I'm still using to this day along with a Tokina 14-20mm f2 for the nightscapes(see profile photo) and a sigma 30mm f1.4 to do a bit of night street photography.

[@liamstrain]

Nice choice on the 5Dsr - I love mine for architecture with the Canon t/s lenses. Contemplating getting a used Phase P65+ and swapping out the 4x5 for a Sinar M3, and new lenses but... yeah, it adds up. :/

[@Vartan297]

Another great video. I started out with a canon rebel film camera when I was 15. Don’t even know what happened to it lol. Then at about 21 got a Nikon D90 preferred the ergonomics to similar canon at the time. Next was D7000. And then finally a d700. Like you say, I’d got the lenses already so it seemed easier than to replace everything. Looking at Mirrorless now because of weight and size… or would love a Leica q2/3 but I don’t want to lose a kidney.

[@VagabondKing100]

For the Cambo, how about a stop motion showing how the depth of field can be manipulated versus your regular setup. I'm thinking like a thin disc of "in focus" spinning around. So maybe a series of objects close and far, up and down to show how the plane of focus moves.

[@KyleClements]

I picked my current camera brand because they had two lenses that really appealed to me for what I like to shoot. My last camera brand I picked for your first reasons - because that's what all my friends had so borrowing was easy, and that's what I could get used for cheap.

[@JohnDoukasPhotography]

How do you decide when you’re going to use a Phase or a Canon? Also, if you’re booked for a campaign with a specific client, do they send you the food/product to shoot? Or does someone from the client come to your studio? Do you first have to pitch the visual idea to them?

[@gchristopherklug]

Great video.

[@shaneconway]

I’m sticking with Sony for this same reasons. I don’t want to buy new lenses for a different brand and i have friends that shoot with Sony and we trade lenses out for different ideas we have. I probably am going to upgrade from my A7 Ii to the A7R IV because of some upcoming work and the used ones are much more affordable now since the A7R V came out

[@stormfalconstudios]

I am a Canon photographer because they had the first digital SLR under $1,000. That was my price point to try digital. I was a Pentax and Mamyia film shooter before.

[@andychandler3992]

I visualize the shot. The camera gives me what I want. Exactly how I want it, and honestly, marketing is about 90% bs. If a sony did for me what a canon 5dmii did, I'd go to sony. But this is a Canon that does what I want it to do. Simply as that.

[@terrydoestech]

I shot exclusively on Canon starting with my old T5, then a t6i, 77D, and finally the original EOS R. I was happy with my kit, but right after I bought the R as my main shooter, it was announced that Canon was locking down their RF mount to first part lenses only. While I can afford canon glass, not having other options really bothered me. So I sold all of my canon gear and invested in Sony. I went with the A7iv, and I’m more than happy with all it does. Wide lens selection as well.

[@mrdetailing9406]

Waiting for that 50D shoot.

[@Fluffy-777]

I would love to see you shoot something on the 50D

[@gregorjurna641]

Also - the bit regarding the detail resolving from the mamiya lenses. Since the GFX sensor is physically larger, the change in pixel density is actually pretty marginal. But I get the fact that 50MP is usually enough.

[@ilkyway5854]

When I bought my first camera I looked at the pictures (had/have not much knolage in post) and Canon had too much colour for my taste. I liked the colours of Nikon much much better. So I still own Nikons because changing is costly and I still love the colours Nikon puts out. Greetings from Germany

[@markahomer]

Lenses are a big driver in choosing your brand tools. Not just quality but once you go down a brand route, changing horses is a big commitment. Never been able to get on with Canon cameras from the start. Found the AE1 and A1 such unfriendly beasts compared to the finesse of Olympus OM1/2 and Pentax MX/LX back my youth.

[@Mir1189]

I used to work pro 20 years ago as a photoreporter, last years before digital sensors were feasible. I realized that if I will go digital, the sensors have to be around 20Mpix but also that digital cameras can be smaller as chip-making was already on level smaller than grains of silver... I found Olympus E-M10 as a small body with possibility to use PRO grade, but still very compact and lightweight lenses. Since then I upgraded to M1x body which is big, but still just 1kg and still its the lenses what makes the difference. Compare 70-200mm f2,8 by Canon or Nikon for fullframe with Lumix GX 35-100mm F2,8 for M43. These lenses have equivalent magnification, but the Lumix is much smaller.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

@@Mir1189 and the kit lens for the E-M1x is 12-100 F4, nicely weather sealed and grants dual IS. 50 megapixels often, hand held, 80 on a tripod.

[@Mir1189]

@@oneeyedphotographer Amazing lens indeed, I decided to have instead combo of Olympus 12-40 f2,8 PRO + Lumix GX 35-100 f2,8 for the "photoreporter" style. In studio i prefer prime lenses. Both of these weight together about the same as 12-100, its 1 stop faster, both are weather sealed. Important thing is that they are about the same size, so i can keep any of them mounted/unmounted and just switch the places in camera bag. Indeed I have to switch them more often, but i simply consider 12-40 to be an indoor lens and 35-100 for outdoors and the rest is about legwork :)

The most important lesson for every aspiring photographer was offered by Ansel Adams: "the most important part of a camera, is the 12" behind it." As a professional photographer once explained: "you give me a camera, regardless of brand, and I will figure out how to get great images out of it. There's a lot of very expensive equipment out there, making some very mediocre compositions."

[@nordfilmcompany]

90% of the landscape photos I sell is shot with a Canon 1Ds Mark III and 17-40mm f/4 L. That’s because I used to be at the right place at the right time at that point, and that beats the better lens and camera options I’ve had after that period.

Would love to see a shoot on the 50D. Makes me want to get out my 40D. Hahaha I remember that 28mm 2.8. Dark times. Oof.

[@SewTubular]

Most shooters start with a consumer version of a brand ( Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc... ) and end up sticking with it because they've got no reason to switch to another brand. When I shot film in the 80s and 90s I shot with Nikon, Mamiya, and Sinar. Around 2010 I bought a Canon 60D to shoot video, and in 2012 I dumped my Canon gear for the Panasonic GH2 because the GH2 shot better video and recorded cleaner audio. ( there was also a high bit-rate hack that allowed you to shoot 100 Mbit video on the GH2 if you had very fast memory cards ) I've been with Panasonic since then. Today I still stick with Panasonic because of video IBIS and Panasonic video color. If I shot only stills I would probably go back to Canon or Nikon.

[@liveinaweorg]

Yes; do a 450D shoot please. Further evidence it's what's behind the camera that matters most.

[@claudianreyn4529]

I shot 4 months with Sony 6400 and then I jumped directly on Fujifilm GFX 100s, which was really crazy as an investment, starting with 5 GF lenses. Since I started 2 years ago, I didn't manage yet to live solly from photography.

[@lmnop7098]

That will be cool if you do a video using those film cameras

[@user-um4wc7bb3n]

I started with a Canon 350D, eventually got the EOS7d - mostly Photojournalism work. But then a problem arose with the 7D and the agents for Canon in South Africa were just appalling. I switched to the Pentax K3. Every one said I wouldn't get any service. Since I wasn't getting service from Canon and Nikon was just too expensive, it was a moot point. At that time Sony hadn't really kicked off in South Africa. Now I have two Pentax k1 MkII bodies, and love them. Still use my K3 some 10 years on. Some limitations on the lens front, but for the most part I get by.

[@shaunmaddox]

I agree it’s not a worth the switch at the moment. There’s no significant gain if your client base doesn’t demand it. But if you feel it will increase the value in your ability and performance, then it’s a long-term investment. It’s nice to get a new system, but after a while, it will get old and a new system will replace it. Although if you were an ambassador for Fuji, I’d say “make the switch!”

[@9Mtikcus]

The camera system i use is for similar reasons, I lost all my camera gear when my house was burgled (I did not have insurance because I was poor) and I could not afford to replace it like for like. So, I could scrap together enough for a body but no lenses so I went with the camera system a friend was using so I could borrow his lenses while I got back on my feet (I still have one of his lenses to this day 7 years later, he can have it back any time he wants it ;) however it is also my most used lens )

[@madhucks]

Well, you've set yourself up for it now. Let's see your 50D shoot... 😀

[@checksix_TC]

The made in Japan quality of Canon cameras is a big plus point My pair of EOS 60Ds from 2012 still works reliably. Just upgraded to a EOS 6D Mark II. But the prices of the RF lenses and R6 MarkII are simply too expensive for non professionals. Would love to see your EOS 50D in action.

[@fredintheshead]

I stick with Canon mostly because, like yourself, I have all the glass I need plus some I just want. I also shoot film and digital so sticking with EF glass I have the choice between many different bodies for film and digital. From what I have seen, there's not a great deal to choose between any of the manufacturers, just a case of getting used to their individual systems.

[@frederikboving]

Started with Nikon because one was given to me. Stayed with Nikon for many years. Tried Sony, no. Tried Fuji, no. Will probably stay with Nikon. Use LUMIX for video. Ricoh for pocketable camera. So other cameras than Nikon work for me subject to the task at hand. As you say, light and lenses are king. It’s all about signal to noise ratio. If you get that right, you’re good, no matter which camera is there to record your achievements. Learning to use a flash is the best investment I have made in years.

[@videoyoplait]

50D yes please

[@nicofuentes7149]

is there by any chance a good or "healthy" ratio between sensor size and megapixel count? I would think if you divide the same full frame sensor more and more (for the sake of more detail or cropping maybe) it comes a point where I would be better just to switch to medium format? do I make any sense with this question?

[@kaczynski2333]

Handle a bunch of cameras, buy the one that feels good (and you can afford). You can produce spectacular images on any camera that has been made in the last decade.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

Possibly, but it changes as technology improves. I have heard of a wildlife photographer photographing birds at ISO 20,000 (he repeated it for clarity and emphasis) and getting results good enough to sell. The camera? OM 1. Unless your clients can see differences in the final product (usually prints), keep your money.

[@majaisakszon1475]

My 6d2 was a second hand store return. I did not look at the shutter count. It came with extra batteries and a batterygrip all orriginal. Still have it and use it every day. I do not buy new either. No money for a brand new one. I have worked for Canon and was able to test camera bodies and lenses. I am not getting into mirrorles any time soon. Only got a tiny Pentax Q7 with 4 native lenses for the fun of it.

[@SteveBrandon]

I had been shooting with a Sony mirrorless for 6 years but the camera (Nex-5K) is showing its age and I wanted to switch back to DSLR because I missed having a viewfinder. Since I didn't want to spend more than $500 Canadian, my choices were basically the Canon Rebel T7 (called the EOS 2000D in Europe) or the Nikon P3300, both sold with a wider kit lens than what I already have for either brand. I ended up going with the Nikon P3300 despite it being an older camera than the Canon Rebel T7 simply because I already have a long 300mm zoom for Nikon while the only Canon lens I have is 35-70mm from my father's old Rebel G 35mm film SLR camera.

[@frits1463]

I began with my girlfriends Canonet 28, 40 years ago. Stille have them; the camera AND the girlfriend. Used my fathers AE1 also. Then, because my best friend used Nikon, I bought a Nikon F301 but switched over to a Nikon FE2 very fast and began to buy lenses. I loved that camera. Via Nikon D70, D90 and D610 I now own 2 nine year old camera's that work fine for me: a D750 for "run and gun" and a D810 (no alias filter) for architecture and portraits. I will use those 2 camera's for the foreseeing future. I can only think of noise in low light as a reason to buy a modern camera. That's not enough for me. But if, I will stick to Nikon. Because of the glass i own and the ergonomics i'm used to.

As a large format (4x5, or 5x4 on your side of the pond) film photographer, I really would like to see the Cambo with the Phase back and digital-specific lenses in use. I think I could re-purchase most of my LF lenses for the price of one of those Rodenstock or Schneider digital-specific lenses! In theory, I could get a Graflock compatible Mamiya/Phase digital back adaptor for my camera, but my camera can just barely use a 65mm lens with bag bellows, so it wouldn't make sense (practically or economically) compared to a dedicated MFD back camera like the Cambo or a Sinar P3 ($$$$!). Even renting a setup like that would be way out of my price range. What would I ask that you shoot? I mostly shoot outdoor "small to medium landscape," but I've done a lot of indoor flower photos, often aiming for somewhat shallow DOF, so that might be an interesting challenge for you.

When you use a digital back, your camera becomes a technical medium format camera and you will need lenses with the same focal lengths to achieve the same results, so 65mm isn't a lot more than "standard." You could consider a Horseman medium format technical body, they're similar to the familiar 5x4 cameras but were originally designed for smaller sheet film and more recently 120 rollfilm. You will still need lenses to provide the coverage, but you should be able to get a wider view and certainly will get a longer one. I am sure there are Graflex MF bodies around, but they'd be older than me. Probably.

I am sure you can produce any resolution with lots of images tethered together its a lot of work for a single picture

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I have some Canon EF lenses. Viltrox adapter and Viltrox speed booster was the main reason I moved up to the M6 mark II camera. Now I have to hope the stuff outlives me because I can't afford to go on in the "Canon progression". The new lenses cost more than my car.

I had both the 40 & 50D's. The 40 was for sports, the 50 was for everything else. ...and then it was sold to finance a 7D mkII. Dumb. Should have kept it! Would love to see you do some work with the 50D and reveal what it's truely capable of.

[@pete292]

I shoot with a Canon 5d mkiv and keep thinking of changing for a 5d SR

[@petevonschondorf4609]

I'm not a pro but have the same mentality for cars or cameras or pretty much everything. Buy used when I can and sometimes you can't because there are none (used)

[@angelartsa]

I would like to see a jewellery shoot, would be intresting to see the details these cameras can record

[@olafzijnbuis]

At 8:22 "Metal lens hood" Nothing new. All Takumar lenses had metal lens hoods. I prefer plastic lens hoods: - lighter - cheaper - same functionalty - they absorb the shock when you hit something. A metal lens hood just transfers the energy to the lens.

I wonder what would have happened if you'd got a nikon for a start. As amateur I started with a Nikon because it felt nicer in my big clumsy hands. Because if lenses I am still at nikon 20 years later. Still as a hobby. I do love the magic of Nikon lenses...

People our age were in a pretty special situation anyway, when they started. Foremost reason I chose Canon in 2006 was simply that they had pretty much the only affordable DSLR on the market. The 300D had been the first DSLR under 1000 Dollars or Euros or whatever and then there was the 350D and the 400D which was my first DSLR and I paid around 660€ for the kit. There just wasn't much competition in this price range while today people can get an entry level camera from all kinds of brands. Anyway... whenever someone asks me which brand to by my advice is always "Buy what the people you know use." If your buddy uses Sony then buy Sony. If you know a guy who uses Canon, buy Canon. This way you always have someone to borrow lenses from or buy their old gear or ask stupid questions.

[@cbnkp]

Okay just got to the part of the video where you actually say this. 😁

[@goodwood-rc4nx]

only brought Nikon as the Canon product range at the time was confusing which the basic or the top of the line by name

[@Travelagent]

As I need a camera(system) that is reliable even under the harshest of environments (on one side hot and sandy deserts, on the other side hot humid jungles), so I am still a very happy Pentax user (K3 Mk. III)🙂! I tried Sony for a short time but they failed completely in more "demanding" environments ! I personally do not necessarilly need the "state of the art technology" but I surely need a reliability I can trust, whatever the circumstances are!

[@oneeyedphotographer]

I'm not surprised Sony didn't perform, but Olympus/OMDS and Lumix should both match your Pentax gear.

[@KCYT2010]

I think you should show work you shot with the Phase One system, the most recent. Why not show us how different the format image is compared to your 5DSr and when you'd choose one over the other.

[@UrbanSipfly]

I like Sony for it's Playstation game console - that's it! Canon comes to mind for camera selection. Just as I wouldn't buy Nike for vegetables, the same is the same for any other name brand for Canon. At Canon, I believe that I'm going to get what I expect from photo taking!

[@colnagocowboy]

In the film days i had a Pentax i pressed the shutter release and when i took my finger off it sprang out of the camera and down a thousand foot cliff. Oops

[@gregorjurna641]

Do the shoot with the 50D

[@krissk77]

Another thing. Its easier to get a good used canon camera at an affordable price than the others. I'll go for used canon cameras anytime. Hv compared used prices and canon comes tops. ❤

[@samcooper5539]

I wish I would have found your channel before starting my career. Maybe I wouldn't have cycled through so many cameras and wasted so much of my money.

[@jamesmynes1953]

Do the 50 d thing

[@igalaviz]

I stuck with Canon, first reason, a friend had ALL the lenses, then I started using DPP and became my favorite RAW processing software, still is and I'm using a 5DS... not loyalty, the software is THAT good and the ergonomics of the canon bodies blows every other brand out of the water.... Tried Nikon and Sony, but their ergonomics aren't as good and using Captrue One o Camera RAW (Lightroom) is not muy cup of tea...

[@banditalley9592]

I think rather than "Brand loyalty", real photographers have "Brand ecosystem saturation" - what I mean is, you buy a camera body or two, a flash, several lenses and before you know it you have thousands and thousands of pounds worth of gear that ONLY works with one brand. You are entrenched in their ecosystem. This is one reason why I won't change systems - because the cost would be off the scale, plus I don't need to because I am comfortable using what I have and I know it will always get the shot exactly how I want it. "Brand Loyalty" is a strange concept and belongs to the fanboys and KZbin comment trolls who just want to have an opinion on everything without any knowledge of being a working photographer.

[@daylanbrawley631]

Started with Nikon because Ashton Kutcher did the commercials with the Nikon point and shoots 🤣

[@kennypringle4580]

Go with a Nikon d850👍
