Mattias, you are a true artist who appreciates (and understands) the art of technology and its intersection with the art of making the hidden world legible. Your photographs are absolutely superb and your hands and eye appear to be one with ANY camera you have. Amazing!

[@frederickj.7136]

Agreed completely.

[@odemata87]

This is indeed one of best times for photography. Practical every camera is great in their own right and affordable. You don't have to have the latest to take your photography to the next level. Perfect for your craft and anything will suffice

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Raoul Simon I agree 101%.

[@cfagil]

I like your very much down -to-earth approach to photography; much more enjoyable to watch that many other photography influencers who portray themselves to be much better photographers than they really are with fancy studios and great presentations. They are good but not as good as you are. Keep up your good work.

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

as always, fun and informative. unfortunately, ever time you bless an older camera, the ebay price rises! thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

smalltalk.productions sorry about that. I can give a heads up, the Pentax Q is going to get a price bump soon :)

[@sharpfocus5]

Haha, that’s a sure sign of power. Bravo Mattias!

[@Celestialrob]

I could care less about these cameras, I just love watching your videos, looking at your photos and enjoying your musical selections - bravo!

[@yuyens.yuyens.6092]

same.

[@nileshghadigaonkar9389]

Same! agreed

[@juliodinocharles5661]

Yes!

[@lukazupie7220]

+ i love his voice!

[@SwanConnery17]

Your videos made me buy a Leica M8. I found a great deal on Craigslist and i couldn't be happier! I used to shoot with a Sony a6000. Great camera, but the photography made me feel...empty after a while. I can't recommend the M8 enough! Thank you for your videos!

[@sharpfocus5]

Always a pleasure. Your combination of good sense and passion - not to mention well crafted movie making - is a breath of fresh air.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Thank you!

[@mixa3]

My favorite camera is Panasonic GM1 in bundle with Panasonic 20mm 1.7, Olympus 45mm 1.8 and Laowa 7.5mm 2.0. Extremely portable and amazing quality.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Mischa I have one also. Use it for video in most of my videos. Its a cool camera.

[@raksh9]

The GM1 is a superb little camera. With a few small primes, it is a complete system for travel and fun.

[@painful1978]

Many would simply talk about the negatives as just something to be mentioned. While there r some unforgivable negatives or problems, and some very subjective or trivial things. That's what I like about your videos. Thank you.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

painful1978 There always gonna be negatives. I like to focus on the positives. Thats why I don't review cameras that I don't enjoy :)

[@norbos5918]

How about that Pentax KP ?

[@richardhale9664]

My 5 - Fujica St801. Pentax ME Super. Pentax K3, Pentax Q7 and Fuji X Pro 1

[@MicaelWidell]

Så glad att jag hittat din kanal. Otroliga videos där man verkligen kan känna din passion för foto genom skärmen, samt får massor av idéer på roliga kameror att köpa :)

[@zeeox]

There's no doubt about it, you do take the most wonderful photographs! Proof that it isn't just about the quality of the kit, it's about the skill of the photographer.

[@AriDerGamer]

You are absolutely right about the GXR. I already have two, one for the m Module and one for the A16 Module and i could never sell them...

[@abhishekvsmalyala]

4:30 > "if you sell it, you will buy it again" . Amen to that. I bought it again this week and having a fantastic time with my voigtlander lenses.

[@Narsuitus]

I prefer manual/mechanical cameras to automatic/electronic cameras. My personal favorite manual/mechanical camera is the Nikon F2 35mm film camera. I own three of them. My F2 lens inventory consists of two-dozen prime lenses that range in focal length from 14mm to 1000mm. I also use six zoom lenses as backups to my prime lenses. My personal favorite automatic/electronic camera is a Fuji X-Pro2 digital mirrorless. I primarily use the following primes on my Fuji X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 APS-C cameras: 16mm f/1.4 Fujinon 23mm f/1.4 Fujinon 56mm f/1.2 Fujinon 12mm f/2 Rokinon 135mm f/2 Zeiss (adapted) I also use the following lenses as backups: 16-55mm f/2.8 Fujinon 50-140mm f/2.8 Fujinon 23mm f/2 Fujinon 12mm f/2.8 Zeiss

[@carloberdelao9345]

I remembering upgrading my 5n to a used a7, which I got for $600 usd. I worked my first paying gigs with it, and it captured my most loved photos. I now have an a7iii and Leica M240, and love them both. But, I don't think I'll ever feel the same magic I had with the original a7.

[@Xticals]

A great video! I really like your aesthetic and approach to photography, in the end it's images that come out that count no matter what you use to capture them. Great as always!

[@tw9535]

I love your analogy of choosing a favorite camera to that of choosing a favorite movie. It really is hard. And changes. I shoot with the D500 and think of it as a "moments beast". If I don't come back with moments after shooting a scene with the D500 then it was my own damn fault, not the camera's.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Wilson Newman yeah that camera leaves you no excuses.

[@juliodinocharles5661]

I wish my photos are as good as yours. Truly inspiring.

[@bridgebolt51]

where's the fuji?

[@thekashif]

I came for the reviews I stayed for the pictures... Amazing

[@Darklife66]

Came to this channel for the photography content, stayed for Mattias :)

[@giannagiavelli5098]

Leica M8. It is really special. A unfixable museum piece. But for black and white its the best camera on earth

[@andremaltes3018]

I agree, the M8 is an excellent camera.

[@dhcho4473]

I was so surprised. It almost matches the list of cameras I use and like.

[@frenchfries8745]

Excellent choices. Great video as usual you deserve alot more subscribers

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Those Ricoh files are beautiful! No Fuji on the list. : (

[@GONZOFAM7]

I thought the X70 would be on the list

[@docchocobo]

You echoed my thoughts exactly. I've always thought that the best camera is the one you have in your hand. I have a lot of different cameras and each one is unique. In fact, they all do certain things well and certain things not so well and they pretty much dictate what you're going to do differently that day when you pick one up to use. Each one has a different personality and it's good to make friends with all of them

[@Eric_Rossi]

Great vid man, the Ricoh GR 3 really needs to come out soon!

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Eric Rossi yes it does!

[@richardseekins24]

I agree that will make the GRII even cheaper to buy used :)

[@achelseaphotographer]

It is coming out this year...

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Klaus Enrique hopefully. The company isn't doing so great so time will have to tell. But the rumor of announced at Photokina 2018 has been strong for over a year. Si fingers crossed :)

[@achelseaphotographer]

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I "accidentally" came across your channel, and ended up viewing five of your videos. Loved every single one of them. It is great that you are showing what can be done on a budget. Are you sure you don't want to do a K-1 review? The great-value-for-money ethos of the K-1 really fits with your channel...

[@MiladJPanah]

0.0001 seconds into the video and I know its going to be good. thumbs up !!!

[@michaelscaplis]

A bit surprised (positively) that you added the A7. They can indeed be had for good prices on the second hand market. I got my A7S a couple of months ago for 880€. If I had to pick one from your list (not counting unaffordable M8 ;-) it would be the Ricoh GRii as I really like those colours.

[@nsr150sp1]

please do a review about Nikon D200, you'll like the CCD color come out of it

[@joshmvfx]

Can you do this video for video cameras? I watch for your film cameras, especially the red one mx

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

HollywoodDestroyer9,000,000 I will think about it.

[@Francois15031967]

You have the best intros of the KZbin realm :)

[@Veptis]

I got a pocket camera, partially becuase of your videos to it. I am yet to get a TV Z mount zoom with something like 10.5-120 parfocal and constant aperture of 1.7 or better. I don't want to get into stills, but I would love to shoot longer exposure for timelapse and stars. Should I ever get into stills, that it would be smart to get something that mounts MFT so I can use my lenses and adaptations. I also got that manfrotto better video and plan to take it with my on my bike when the weather gets great again.

[@AlreadyTiredOfYou]

Love your videos! And I love your pictures!

[@dustinwht]

Love this video Mattias!!

[@danaendelmanis4612]

0:37 Absolutely gorgeous. You took that?? It feels like Annie Leibovitz from the Rolling Stone years. completely respectful and unpretentious, but that gorgeous light just adds the feel of artifice from her Vanity Fair shots. I love it.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Yes, all images in all my videos are taken by me. Happy to hear you liked it :)

[@Lazo00100001]

Viewers: which is your favorite camera? Mattias: yes!

[@peterremke]

The interesting thing to me is that all your pictures look like Mattias Burling, regardless of which camera you use.

[@wvlfboyy]

I own the Sony A7 and Ricoh GR II and recently looked at a Leica M8. - it was too expensive for me though so for now I wont get one. But I totally agree on your list! Great video as usual!

[@appledadlife]

Great video, wide range of different style cameras!

[@MLeoM]

For a budget beginner which DSLR would you recommend? Leica and Sony can hardly be found in my country and Ricoh is not available. Most mirrorless cameras are not available here 😫. Nikon and Canon are the one most popular...

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Mauro Leonardo Mondal I would first an foremost buy a decent affordable lens. Like the Camon 50mm f1.8. Then the body which I can afford. They don't sell any bad DSLRs. All of them is more than a beginner needs.

[@MLeoM]

Thank you.. What do you think about Nikon D5600?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

If you can afford it after buying a good lens its fine. Like I said, there are nor bad DSLRs in stores today.

[@PunjabiGymBeats]

Hi mattias, you need to update your current fav plz, thanks

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

There wouldn't be much change I think.

[@ogjbot]

So what is your favourite beer?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Owain O'Neill-Turner can I name 5?

[@SurajBoddu]

Mattias Burling yes😂

[@davejenx]

I do have the gxr q and a few other my top 5 leica m8 just makes me want to shoot, sony a900 my workhorse for 10yrs my favourite images , fuji xh1that trigger made me love it more than my xpro1 olympus em1 fav travel camera , polaroid sx70 pulling that out makes everyone your best friend

[@MarcoZhang689]

Your videos are a treat to watch!

[@ericcallcut]

I have a Ricoh GR (not the 2 with wifi) which I really like. I recently acquired a second-hand Pentax Q system, also great fun. I also have a Pentax K3 which I'm having huge difficultes in getting decent photos out of... my ancient Nikon D50 was more quality-consistant for me! But I do find that cameras without a viewfinder are really lacking something important for me, the physicality of pressing the camera to my eye. Seeing as a large number of your favorite cameras, Mattias, do not have viewfinders, apparently you don't feel the same way! But I can't really fall in love with a non-viewfinder camera + the huge difficulty of seeing anything in the sun if you don't have a viewfinder! Anyway, love your reviews, thanks, Eric.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

+Eric Callcut yeah I don't have a problem with it. Specially on the Ricoh GR, I dont need a viewfinder on a 28mm. Everything is in frame anyway. Our kits are quite similar but I have the Pentax KP and Pentax Q. I get very pleasing images from both. Im not sure I follow you on the cameras in this video not having viewfinders. All accept the GR does, so 4 out of 5 :) And there is an optical for the GR if one absolutely has to have one.

[@ericdanssabagnole]

I obviously didn't pay attention: I thought the Leica and the Gxr didn't have viewfinders. I did buy the viewfinder for the GR but I hardly ever use it as it does not show accurately what one is taking, particularly when one is close up. In friendship.

[@roy33]

What's the best way to manually focus on the Sony A7?

[@samuelbamford7538]

Brilliant work again, I would like to ask if you have ever used the zeiss loxia line of lens, or is there a video I have missed.

[@weisong2471]

Hi Mattias ! I wonder what do you usually do when you want to change a color picture into black and white?

[@dbmeo3417]

The dslr images were not my favorite but they definitely stood out as the ones the the greatest quality. Gosh, if only the Leica M one was not so unforgivably expensive relative to my budget...or lack thereof. LOL. I'm just so in love with how matching the sexiness of it's output and it's physical aesthetics are. Ricoh GRii is somewhat attainable but it does not seem to have much presence in my country. A7 is still too expensive for me so I guess I'm going with Fuji...

[@triggrhaapi]

I would love to see a video on your little Pentax Q I see at the end there. I love mine.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Jason Mueller its coming. Want more time with it first.

[@liverpix]

What lens did you use to take the photos with on the Ricoh gxr ?

[@kurtares2082]

Great video as always and beautiful photography as well! I was surprised you didn’t have a Fuji on the list. Is the image quality of the a7 better than say your X-T20? Thanks again!

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Kurt Ares IQ is about the same.

[@kurtares2082]

Thank you very much!! I wish you all the best!

[@SkylerKing]

Based on your Instagram, lately, I was expecting a Pentax Q video

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Skyler King it will come. And if anyone was planning on buying one, now is the time. Because I will raise the prices on the few that are out there lik there is no tomorrow :)

[@HSH42]

how you think about sony A7 ii . compare with sony a7

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Not a fan. Like the original more.

[@FadhilMuhammad7]

Is Ricoh GR II has additional EVF attach in hotshoe?

[@TheBrooklynBaZooka]

Just got the a7 with studio equipment and kit lens 28mm to 70mm for 800 which lens should I get next? I hear the world nifty fifty but if the kit lens has 50mm in it's range is there a difference ?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

+TheBrooklynBaZooka a huge difference. A kit zoom cant match the detail and look of a fast 50mm prime lens.

[@bobtaylor8746]

Thanks for all your excellent video's Love your videos.

[@costas3953]

Great video. I love my GRII - it is the essence of pure photographic joy. It has quickly become my go-to camera for most situations. Only a GRIII could surpass it!

[@andrerenaud1759]

How about the quality and the value for the price oh the Fuji xt3?

[@JohnsJunk]

I love my D500, but I like my D700 more. The camera I take absolutely everywhere though is the one built into my phone.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Johns Junk Yeah the d700 is also nice. I have a review of it.

[@JohnsJunk]

I left a comment on that one too :) Right after it came out last week. Keep up the good work.

[@kimberlynorton]

I love my Ricoh GR

[@Rnder72]

Mattias, another fun and informative video. I never considered the A7, this video has me thinking it may be a viable choice to get my C/Y Carl Zeiss glass a good work out. I am currently shooting them with a fourthirds body, the major cropping has my uninspired.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

+Rick N C/Y is also adaptable to full frame Canon. So there are some options for you.

[@Rnder72]

thanks, I guess the 6d probably the value leader in their FF range. The smaller form factor is nice though with the A7 (plus larger adapted lens pool)

[@johnglue1744]

I wish I had purchased the Ricoh GRii over Christmas , now the stock is almost impossible to find plus the price has gone up.

[@johnglue1744]

Now why didn't I think to search. I have looked at loads of places here in the USA , all have backordered stock except for Ricoh direct that is why I said almost impossible, not that they were impossible. I see lots of places in Canada but they will not ship to the states .

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

It was recently on sale here but still in stock in a handful of stores.

[@smkunder1]

Do you still feel A7 is a viable way to go with FF? I shoot Nikon DX right now.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

If you like Nikon the D700 is still solid.

[@smkunder1]

Mattias Burling I currently shoot D500, how would output of 12mp D700 stack up? Sure would be affordable way to try FF and stay with my same system

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Your D500 would smoke both the A7 and D700. I would keep the D500 and invest in some fast glass.

[@MuwexTech]

Awesome job as always!

[@joyojoyo8]

Two GR's on the list! ... cheers!

[@alozor13]

Since I have a fuji xpro2 I was thinking selling my x100f and xpro1 and buy a m8.2 with zeiss lens for street photography... I shoot manual zone focus at 200-400 iso on the fuji anyway and I don't care about the m8 shitty lcd nor the 10mp. I'm more creative when I'm limited and I want a real digital rangefinder experience. The things that worries me is reliability. I read so many posts about shutter issues, camera freeze, buffer capping out after taking 3 pictures in a row etc... I don't know now.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Superman's CGI mouth its an old camera so more have had time to break. You will find more horror stories about the x100f and thats brand new.

[@AndrewZhitenev]

Dear Mattias, nearly all your photos are awesome. I don't know if it is a master-postprocessing or a such a talent, but they are real masterpieces. I would like to know your opinion - I've got Sony A7M3 with kit lens. It shoots quite nice, but rather dull. I decided to get some budget fix lens with nice aperture to get more profound photos. What do you think is the most appealing lens for Sony FE for the newbie to get more interesting photos for street and travel?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Minolta Rokkor 59mm f1.7. Or if you want AF would get the Zeiss 35mm f2.8.

[@AndrewZhitenev]

Mattias Burling thank you.

[@josefm1994]

Did you have any issues with the mount of the Alpha 7? Some are complaining about leeking light

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Josef Matoussi nope, never had amu issues. And I have had 5 different A7 cameras.

[@mickejohansson7054]

Nice video! BTW Will there ever be a full review of the JVC LS300?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

+micke johansson probably not.

[@wokex]

interesting camera choices! I noticed you got the small 21mm voigtlander there. any chance you could talk about it in a video? I presume the small form and focal&aperture combination sure should affect the style of shooting and output. what do you say?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

wokex its very sharp and turns your camera into a point and shoot where everything is in frame and in focus.

[@wokex]

Thanks for the input! It sounds like a lot of fun :) Have you ever adapted it to a fuji? heard some have had colour shifts with it but it seems like a fun lens otherwise

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

wokex I have and so far so good.

[@lylestavast7652]

Nice list :) You do a great job on your presentation and production ...

[@mispevill3928]

I love your videos! And most of all your photos! If I could just have those kinds of photos😊

[@bernied9537]

I love my Nikon Df with a 50 year old 55mm f3.5 Nikkor.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

+Bernie D I was supposed to get the DF a few months ago but the deal fell through. A shame since it seems awesome.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

[@endlesswaltz29]

Fuji x70 not on mattias list 😔

[@hienduong3214]

I hope a Fujifilm will be in this list but :(

[@TLi-xm7vl]

pleasant music!

[@pixiedixie3682]

My favourite?....FM2n, one of the greatest!

[@frederickj.7136]

Nice, yes... Except that the original Nikon FE was, and is, even better: Faster in operation even if never shot full auto... much better control over exposures & dynamic range with slide films... more consistent shutter speeds across EVs... smoother, better control feel and construction details (over the FE2, as well)... takes all non-AI F-mount lenses directly (EASY, ergonomic stop down metering)... significantly better battery life in practice than FE2 -- just stupendous, in fact -- rendering "the battery issue" vs. an FM2 virtually mute. One downside: no 1/200+ flash sync speed for fills. Not really that close a contest, all things considered fairly. Nikon's electronics have proven amazingly durable... which I didn't expect when I bought my black FE in early 1982. Nikkormat FT-2, FT-3, EL; Nikon FE, FE2, FM2n, FG-20, N80, N75, + "pro bodies" like my F2as and F4... I own 'em all.

[@fxvsdx35]

Nice video. If u did not try a Fuji X series yet, do urself a great service and try one for a day. Best jpeg out of camera, especially skin tones, easily adaptable to most lenses, very well made (most of them Made in Japan). Awesome Fuji lens lineup.

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

I have several Fuji reviews (x100t/f, x70, xpro2, xt2). Great cameras.

[@colnagocowboy]

My favorite camera us still the Bronica RF645

[@johnorr8393]

What on Fujifilm Camera.

[@JohnBarrow1961]

Mattias, do you do much post processing on your pictures?

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

John B nothing fancy, just contrast, highs, lows, that sort of thing.

[@xfani]

What lenses would you recommended for the Ricoh gxr? Btw really love your channel! So many useful tips and reviews that many channels don't have 😃

[@gearreallydoesntmatter]

Voigtlander 35mm is a fun lens if you have the M-Module.

[@daphneramos2138]

Hi!!!! what a nice and helpful video! may i ask, can you suggest and recommend a mirrorless camera that is on a budget but still works just as good as the pricey ones especially for me who basically is just a "beginner"? hope for you reply :))
