Screen Studio! It's linked, but they have recently raised prices a bit. Super slick, and I've used it to spruce up a few paid projects, so I've switched to that over OBS.

I noticed the cursor smoothing right away and was like this looks slick!

@@jessejayphotography It feels purpose built for tutorial-like vids haha

Interesting... def hoping they make a tiny F4 or F2.8 version of that one. This is one of those sticker questions for anyone to truly answer but you. Things I'd be considering - hidden cost of buying memory cards in dupe (if you plan to, I did in my RP > R6 jump). Hidden cost of bigger batteries. Hard? to find R6 new if you're into that. R6iii rumors are heating up... R6ii could drop even further early next year. If you want to use your current batteries or like the current form factor, then the R8 actually blends the best of both worlds. Resale of RP will be pretty low, so will R6, and the R6ii is also gonna take a hit very soon. If you're into 4k video, want the form factor, weather sealing, ibis, etc. RP > R6 was a game changing jump for me at the exact time I was ready to put the effort in to grow into it. However, there's still a lot I could technically be shooting on the RP even today. And I loved the R8 for the year I had it. Personally, I'd wait to see what the R6iii looks like/R6ii prices fall to. And if I was doing any long-form video or hot weather shooting, I'd pass over the R6 (those are still my biggest gripes around it).

@DanYosua thank you! Your answers are always so detailed - I truly appreciate all the effort you go to. Main reasons I'd be switching is a) weather sealing (NZ weather is wild) b) faster shutter speeds, c) IBIS. I don't really care about duel card slots, but I am slightly concerned about the megapixels on the r6i

@@jessezee.official No problem! 20 vs 24 mp feels pretty similar to me. When I want more it's usually when shooting with the 100-400. I tried the R7 for a month, and that finally felt like a little more breathing room at 32. If think you can live with 20, the storage benefit is nice. Haha I'll miss that if I upgrade to more in the future.

@@DanYosua Interesting! I'll wait and see about an r6iii, and maybe get a rental for a few months and see how I like the r6ii.

Sweet, appreciate the feedback!

Thanks! These are relatively tame ones, but I would love to get some of these types of vids out, in between the highly edited ones, if people dig em.

@@DanYosua Not sure about what others think but I'm all for this type of content! It's a nice relaxing pace in such a hectic world nowadays. Not too slow and not too fast. Your vids literally feels like a breath of fresh air. Hope the youtube algo picks up your channel man. You seriously deserve it!

@@hz9435 Really appreciate the feedback - this is the type of thing that's hard for me to know just by looking at the numbers. I've liked making the higher effort, more polished vids, but they take a long time to come together. An interesting combo that I want to explore more is matching those polished uploads with one of these, pulling a few shots from the other vids.

Congrats! Travel safe and enjoy it down there, it'll be an unforgettable experience!

The sharpness wide open is special, and if I was doing any kind of weddings or event work, the f1.2 would be lovely late in the day. I'm excited to see if the f1.4 hits the sweet spot when I finally get hands on.

Thanks! Haha excellent flip on your side it sounds like. What's shipping look like, still mid-December? Will be curious to hear your thoughts on it when you get it. I feel like the year is running away on me... hoping to try it early next year at this point.

85mm! It kept darting toward me so close that I think it was closer than the minimum focus distance 😂Thanks, the dunes are a wild place.

I'll give it a go, thanks for the suggestion!

That sounds like a steal perhaps, but I have no idea how those EF versions compare. Is there something specific for you're hoping in the switch? I'm personally trying to steer clear of EF. I still use the 28mm Sigma EF very often, so it's less of a performance preference for me, and more of a "I want to get more modern glass in case I sell it later"

Hmm. That's interesting, but kinda resonates now that you say it. To give it credit, it does that "look" incredibly naturally, in-camera. This is even a pricey rental, but I've been waiting to give it another go on a project now that it's been years. Are you considering either currently?

@ I just ordered the non-ds, I wanted the 1.2 light and the standard looking bokeh humans are used to see on professional photos since forever.

I had a little hope that it would match the msrp of the 100mm macro at $1,199 but no such luck 😕 There are several lenses I'd love to try over there too... this one for sure, but also things like the 20mm, 20-70mm, and the new 16-25mm and 24-50mm. The list goes on...

Yup, it's stupid really

I felt panicked in the dunes at sunset haha. Everything was looking spectacular in every single direction and the light and shadows were moving fast! I feel like it's just far enough from Denver to be a hassle to get to. Or not a hassle necessarily, but easy to put off, and not along 70 if headed east to west.

Ditto, and thanks for stopping in here! Still trying to get back up there with the 28mm... got sidelined with the weather these last few weeks.

Trying out something a little different!

Glad you enjoyed!

😳 I may have sand in my tripod forever. Thankfully the camera and lenses seem fine 🤞 just made sure to brush and blow off the gaskets before swapping and stuff.

Thanks for watching!

Indeed. It's advice we all know, but sometimes I've glazed over it looking for a shortcut 😅

"Chasing Horizons" by Charlie Ryan! Had a good vibe as I was trying to pick a mood.

It is a LOT

It seems more about the breathing, power zoom compatibility, and similar sizes and weights for ease of gimbal use. So video-focused, but not really including the run and gun use case that I assume most photo-first shooters would value.

Ooo, nice. The one scenario where I think I'd actively use it in photo mode would be on something like an R8 or RP. I don't use the control rings all that often, but that ring would be close enough to my supporting hands that I would rearrange the other two dials for ISO/shutter.

Thanks for sharing that... I'll keep my expectations in check haha. If you remember to revisit this comment, it would be cool to hear which you end up keeping. Any chance you keep both and compare for a time period?

I appreciate it! Haha there's a lot of editing/condensing to try to keep it moving. What are you shooting lately?

@ Mainly college sports, so for the most part it’s hard to relate to your work, but I definitely feel the struggle with trying new gear, but not fully committing to purchasing anything expensive. This channel feels like a hidden gem where there is a Canon creator who can’t quite afford (or isn’t sent) the latest and greatest stuff from the manufacturer, but still is making content on/with Canon gear.

Oh nice! Something I've wanted to shoot for a long time is hockey, but I haven't made much time for breaking into it. And idk if I'll be good enough for Canon themselves to send me anything in this lifetime 😂

Oh no! Any idea what it might have been? And would you go to the F2.8? Hopefully I'll never have to eat these words about mine having no issue 😅

@@DanYosua no, i get a new f4 (lucky it was under warranty). Its not the lenses fault. I meant only that maybe the new ones, that not extend have a higher probability not to get something into the Lense body. The Image quality etc. are pretty fine, when it works.

Glad that happened still under warranty, would have been a big bummer if not.

@DanYosua yes that would be terrible. Would stil buy it or look how expensive the repair would be. Cant afford atm a over 3000 euro lense

Slow and steady!

Aw thanks! A trio like that could get most people pretty far, at least for this sort of stuff. Have you used the 100-500 yet?

@DanYosua Nope, but used 500mm from Nikon

3+ now, and 4+ with the 24-105mm! I use them both pretty hard and they're still holding up just fine. Though I will say, there are definitely situations where, if you end up in them a lot, I would be nervous. I would be more hesitant around sea spray maybe. And I just visited some sand dunes for my next vid, and didn't pack either, or the 100-400 (stuck to weather sealed primes). And I'm glad because the sand is everywhere and deep in my tripod 😅 I don't see immediate value in the $3k internals for myself at the moment, but if getting out in the nastiest conditions was part of your livelihood or frequent shooting, I could see jumping at those. But I also really hope they continue the F2.8 external design for the 70-200. It wasn't for me at the time, and still isn't, but if I went f2.8 I may still pick that for packability/carry-ability.

Nice! Do you think you'll keep both long-term?

@DanYosua actually just sold the 24-70 and it was my go-to lens since it came out. The 28-70 has weather sealing and I heard it has L quality glass . The 28-70's size and price was the deal breaker for me. Used it on a R8 and was awesome too

Thanks for the dedication haha

That sounds like a great trip, I'd love to get to Scotland at some point. And I think you nailed it - I'm currently having a lot of fun constraining myself to some prime shooting, but sometimes the switching gets to be a little much.

I'd have to try it to know for sure, but I'm pretty sure I'll be in this camp too 😕

Both are probably solid choices depending on use, especially on the R8, but the RF 24mm is twice as expensive, at least at MSRP. Personally, I like the 28mm length more as a prime, and mostly didn't miss the f1.8, IS, or macro given my other lenses. I haven't used the 24mm, but the corners on the 28mm seemed better for astro in a pinch as well. The 24mm is a great alternative to the 35mm for anyone who prefers that length and will make use of the features though.

You're going to have a blast! I overpacked for that trip, but did most of the heavy lifting with the F4 zooms. I also shot a lot on the RF 28mm and nifty fifty. And risked the 100-400 in the checked bag. This is a trip where the F4's shine imo, though if you're planning to shoot lots of portraits or at dusk, the F2.8 paired with something small and wide could get you really far with just two. If you're curious, I talk about this trip across a few videos: ua-cam.com/video/5O_8V34zWWE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/WyzZ3x_RAmA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/cUo-Z4YROBs/v-deo.html

@@DanYosua Thank you SO much, Dan!

@@jessezee.official no problem! Are you doing Milford sound?

@@DanYosua Yes, we will be! Any recommendations for gear? I'm bringing the DJI Mini 2 for a different angle.

@@jessezee.official specially for that, something weather sealed 😅 and some free space on your phone if nothing else!

It's going to depend on what you'd like to do more of - having a bright f1.8 aperture will be nice if you want to shoot more indoors or have been wanting to better isolate your portraits/subjects. 24-105 might be better if you're generally happy with the range you have now but want to explore a brand new longer range. Long-term, you may or may not want to keep both the 24-50 and 24-105. The redundancy in focal length may be good or bad depending on what and how you shoot.

Lol try again, tell me they aren't too good, and that I made a mistake by even evaluating this lens for the future 😅

For the harder hikes during this time I switched over to my bigger, more padded pack. I still use that one all the time for travel, but less so in recent years for actual hiking... definitely appreciated it for a few hikes again. I could see myself in your boat if I ever committed to this - just sorta embracing the downsides and enjoying the quality. Ideally they'll slim down a bit in a mark ii, but that's probably years away. 10/30 is shaping up to be a big day! Trying to withhold some judgement on the VCM's until I get hands on, but despite the channel, my gut reaction is that I also just wanted the smallest, weather-sealed, photo-focused option. Maybe the video features would grow on me, but to be continued! Appreciate the in-depth comment!

@@DanYosua For me, unfortunately, because I travel full time, I can only bring one bag, and the bag must be serviceable for any task I throw at it, from casual city exploring to intense day hiking, and just hauling all my travel equipment through the airport. For years my EDC bag was the Brevite Jumper. It worked well before I traveled like I do now. I adore the simple, understated design of the bag - for something so simple, it works so well as an EDC to a light travel bag. However, between the additional weight of my gear in recent years (my work laptop and charger alone double the weight of my kit) and the more intense hiking I've started to do - including summitting Mt. Washington with my camera gear and a bunch of extra survival gear - it's started to show its limits. Curious what bags you have been using. I just bought the Shimoda Design Explore V2 30L, and I'm hoping that it can be an adaptable, one-stop bag for all of my needs. Agreed about a version II of this lens. I hope they can find a way to make it slimer, lighter, and internally focusing. Those are the only downsides keeping version I from being a perfect lens. Sony found a way to achieve all three, so now let's hope Canon can too. It's definitely a way down the road as you mentioned, though, especially with the 1.4 on the near horizon. I'm also going to withhold further judgment until I can get my hands on the 50 1.4 in a store and reviews start coming out - but if the 35 1.4 is anything to go off - I'm not overly optimistic. I hope to be wrong. Lastly, just wanted to say that your pictures remind me a lot of my first time shooting with the 50 1.2. I had it shipped to Phoenix to meet me while I was out on the road around this time last year and took it on a lot of day hiking through fall foliage around Arizona. I see the same beautiful colors and rendering out of your photos that I did with mine, and that made me fall immensely in love with this lens. Really enjoyed the shots you shared!

Assuming you like the fit, you will probably like the Shimoda bag a lot. I have two f-stop bags, 50L and 37L, videos on each. These days I tend to use the 50L for storage with a larger ICU, and the 37L for most of the hiking, sometimes more as a computer bag, etc. I haven't flown with the 50L, but the 37L has worked pretty well on flights. I love them and having two works well for me. Even for weekend trips I'll often pack one with my desired kit, and the other with odds and ends. They're pricey, but they work well for me and I expect to run them into the ground over several more years.

It's tough out there in the world!

I need a new villain 🤣

Thanks so much, they're a lot of work but I feel like I'm slowly getting better. The iPhone stuff always surprises me in a good way... and I'm hardly tweaking those clips. My biggest issue there is I don't have nearly enough storage to use it more, and after two years, the battery is already hurting. So it's tough to use for Google maps, Alltrails, podcasts, and video all in the same 5-6 hours. The anker magGo has been my favorite accessory.

Do "poor mans version" and "medium format" go together in the same comment?? 😅 I have too, which is why I wanted to give it some time to mostly rule it out. I would gladly rent again for shorter durations for certain shoots though.

@@DanYosua sounds like the 50 1.4 RF is being announce this month on the 30th so just wait. If it’s around $1200 I would jump on that instead of the 1.2.

@@JaredHoyman hoping it'll be that, but I'm bracing for $1499 like the 35

😂🤷🏻‍♂️ you'll want to find a different video? I have a preference for MacOS, and Apple hardware now that they've added back the i/o.

@@DanYosua well everywhere i searched is the same thing that you have said in your videos. Nothing new. A few minutes of the main topic and rest is apple praising.

​@@taimurrose Happy to try to answer any specific questions, but Apple deserves praise on these imo. That's why I chose it. They broke themselves out of their ultra slim design language, gave creators much of what we wanted and Apple silicon performs really well in the Adobe suite. At least after Rosetta it has. I've largely run two machines alongside each other, one windows pc and one macbook, for the last decade. Not to mention multiple work machines over that time. So I don't blindly hate on other options. But in my experience, windows laptops have been subpar across the board. I seriously considered a Razer Blade, probably would've been relatively happy, but don't think it would have lasted as long, wouldn't have played as nice with iPhone, and I would have overpaid for the screen given the higher refresh rates for gaming.

"The portraits I don't do." Haha yeah, I feel that much of the time. Landscape and travel are my big use cases and this is mostly overkill for both. If I knew I'd always have enough space, I would use this lens for most talking head video as well... but I like the 28mm for tighter spaces, and top down generally, for that use case. I didn't have any during this month but for small gigs shooting inside, I would use this a ton. I make it work but I often feel cramped at 85mm for those.

Options for daysss over there 👀

Having two copies of a prime you like is an underrated hack. Not always feasible either for cost, bag room, or not knowing which to settle on... but I am so happy I brought the RF 28mm pancake to NZ and not my Sigma. It was a great to have a length I was comfortable with, with many of the benefits in 1/4 of the footprint. That 35/100-400 would be a great travel combo!

Haha maybe this one will catch up to me one day too 😅 Have you tried the 10-20mm for any of your stuff?

Hadn't heard of that but it sounds like a bargain for those willing to adapt. Seems like the exact same footprint as the EF Sigma 28mm art... which I certainly also complain about hauling around, but otherwise use quite often and think was a steal for around the same price. How has the 35mm been?

@@DanYosuaI forgot to add that the Tokina 50mm is a heavy lens. It weights around 2.2 pounds. I love the new RF 35mm prime. I preordered it on launch date. It’s sharp, and has some of the fastest auto focus due to the VCM motor’s. Many complain about the distortion (which is pretty bad) but I think many people focus on specs too much and don’t go out in the real world and shoot. Uncorrected it’s about a 32mm or 33mm focal length. I enjoy it. I hope they come out with a 85mm F/1.4 VCM as 35mm and 85mm are my favorite focal lengths !

"I think many people focus on specs too much and don’t go out in the real world and shoot." I want to find some compelling ways to work this discussion into videos. "Shoot more" is almost always the answer. Obviously "more" will depend by person, where they are on their journey, aspirations, etc. Admittedly it often feels like an unsatisfactory answer, but it feels like THE answer 😅
