There we have it. Because we own phones. Nobody can afford a house anymore. Clearly boiled down to cause and effect right there.
sorry, I don't care about this subject ;)
bro "we have the power" to not effect ANYTHING
We do indeed!
idk man i feel like if they want to logg our eye movements.. they'll find a way to logg our eye movements. For every person that tries to "vote with their dollar" there isat least 100 brainwashed people that dont give a fuu, they just want that vision pro bby. Dont get me wrong I vote with my dollar all the time. Mostly because I cant afford the products anyway BUT I do refuseto give companies that piss me off the little money I do have. What Im trying to say is. we are F'ed buddy :) @@samtheman_tv
Well, today you're the small channel UA-cam's almighty algorithm recommended to me. I enjoyed your commentary and I think it's well-considered given how the Vision Pro has been received compared to Google Glass, which was widely derided despite being less obtrusive and capable. Ultimately, I think the value the Vision Pro in its current form adds to the computing experience is very limited, but as a sign of things to come, definitely triggers the same concerns for me.
Thanks for the comment @CamStLouis. I’m glad to hear that there are others that share these concerns!
Why are you comparing poop with gold
An interesting viewpoint! Mainly because Nothing say they want to be the Android Apple.
@@samtheman_tvbro, apple is the poop
@@connectingupthedots lol
😂
I thought I was the only one who made me want to work. And when you get used to adjusting the brightness with the buttons on the keyboard, you no longer take monitors seriously with the f*king groping of buttons to call up the menu from the 90s. It also turns on instantly, rather than waiting 2 minutes after each screensaver. There's no a single button and that's great. Well, the resolution and clarity are like I’m holding 6 iPads) 🎉😊
Haha you're right about the size. I have it in my closet but it takes up almost the WHOLE CLOSET.
$900 British pounds? This feels like a real watch? The logic people use to buy Apple stuff is absolutely incredible. 😂
How did you get the chronograph pro that color
How did you get that color scheme on chronograph watch face. I can’t find it on mine.
I agree. I both my apple watch ultra in the same way like you shown in this video
I love the Ultra and can’t go back to a regular Apple Watch. Have had it for a few months now and it still looks brand new after taking a beating daily.
It's just so different! Glad you also enjoy it!
Normally, in the past, I would have to get a case for my Apple Watch because the screen would get really badly scratched, but with the Apple Watch ultra I don’t have to worry about that because the screen is extremely durable
It's great to not worry as much!
The Apple Watch ultra can last me about 4 days to 5 days from a single compared to my Apple Watch series 7, which would only last 1 day or 2 days
In Australia, the Apple Watch ultra cost $1300
Get it 2nd hand.
Since owning the Apple Watch ultra, I haven’t had to worry about the battery life or the screen getting scratched up because I was coming from an Apple Watch series 7 45mm aluminium to the Apple Watch ultra I definitely think it was a great upgrade for the emergency siren, stronger, sapphire, crystal display, and better water, resistances
I love my Apple Watch ultra it’s absolutely amazing. I wear it every day
I’ve got a smaller iPhone 14 pro I absolutely love it the dynamic island hi refresh rate it’s absolutely amazing fine I’ll be keeping it for three years and then maybe upgrade
I bought the Watch Ultra over the weekend and love it. Banged it against the wall and laughed as it scratched the wall but the watch was still perfect
That’s the kinda durability we like around here!
I have the Matte Black IPhone 14 Pro Max, it’s beautiful #AppleFan
Enjoyed your video 🎉 Thank you 😊 I just recently purchased it as well for the similar reasons that you were discussing in your video. I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way.
Thanks for sharing Stephen. I’m glad that you’re also a happy customer!
The Rolex doesn't depreciate in the same way yours will!
That’s very true!
But your life is almost wasted in Rolex😂…so the total depreciation is very high with Rolex. It’s like those people who only charges their phones up to 80% to not depreciate the battery health but they dont realize that their phone is like running on 80% battery health if they do that since they only charge up to 80%. Id rather have apppe watch ultra that depreciates 100usd a year than depreciate my daily life by wearing Rolex instead of Apple watch ultra
imagine spending thousands on a watch that only tells the time in 2023
that's the kinda humor I am looking for :D
Glad you liked it!
I have a Pro Display XDR and it is the best and I love it.
Amazing. Would like to go to that next step one day myself!
Nice video! I like your desk, where is it from?
Thank you! The desk is a simple one from Ikea, here is the link to the UK site with the product name: www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/lagkapten-adils-desk-white-s29416758/
you are being very dramatic the box would fit in your attic under your bed and in the closet
I kid you not, I tried all of those places and it does not fit!
Nice review
Thanks! If there is anything you'd like me to review next - I am always happy to take requests!
I upgraded my old D7000 to D5600. I'm blown away, focus is so fast, camera is lightweight, better grip helps too, my old camera from the get go would not focus. It was very hard to shoot when the camera was so heavy, plus the lens adds another kilogram to it, my wrists, shoulders couldn't handle it. That's why I didn't shoot as often as I would like to. Shooting with this is a dream, using with a nikkor 35mm lens it's only 660 grams. I'm glad to being able to find it since it's discontinued already.
Totally agree with your comments! It is a fantastic camera. I am glad that you like it!
was able to buy one for €400 new with lens today!
It's a good camera but for most users it's not a good buy. The Cannon 1300D ,now discontinued, is as good but much cheaper.
Thanks for the comment Ian. I am planning on making an updated version of this video where I talk more about recommendations for 2023, as I bought my D5600 in 2021 and a lot has changed since then!
@@samtheman_tv do you think the 1300d is a better buy
@@Nderitu.G so the D5600 is great, but only with additional Nikon lenses. Also if you are looking for video, other cameras are better.
@@samtheman_tvi have narrowed down to two budget cameras, canon 250 d and canon m 50. any assistance would be appreciated
@@Nderitu.G Canon m50 for sure
I use 35mm dx on my full frame D810. it does little bit vignetting but 35mm dx is chaper than 35mm fx (literally 3rd time cheaper)
I feel your pain! Nice video. I'm curious: Do you find the difference in colour, black levels, brightness, etc to be jarring between the studio display and your Macbook Pro's XDR display? I'm considering the studio display because my current external monitor, while indeed 4k, looks like trash compared to my 14" Macbook. I could also wait for them to release that rumoured XDR miniLED display in early 2023, but that'll almost certainly come with an even higher price tag.
What I can say is that this is the first display that I have owned where I have had no random screen issues! It's a fantastic plug and play and looks like the Apple experience. Not as colour accurate as the XDR on the MacBook Pro, but damn close and almost unnoticeable.
good video!
Thanks! Nanotexture is better or definition is better in normal display (non nano)? Thanks
Hi Ric, it will depend on your lighting in your room. My recommendation would be to pop down to an Apple Store and to see them both in person.
lol. i got totally snooped. the worst thing about it is really the worst thing about it.
I keep all the boxes to my Apple products and when I sell them on eBay, I get top dollar because I have the box. Also, when I bought 2nd hand Apple tech, I only buy ones with boxes. Whatever you do, do not get rid of the box.
Don’t worry it’s safe and sound!
I just dont get why apple dont go for 100 hz? That should be a standard even on offfice monitors!
It’s frustrating! That being said I’m not missing the 120hz that I get on the MacBook Pro screen. The monitor at 60hz feels fine.
If anything I thought id be the fact that u cannot remove the power cable. Thats what preventing me from buying
Really? I don’t see this as a problem personally.
Please tel me , will this camera is good for pets portraitrs??? Thanks!
It's a great starter camera. With a stock lens, I would say it could take good photos. With a 50mm lens or something else, I believe that it could be very good!
I disagree! The big box is a feature not a bug, as it gives you a nice, affordable place to live after you spend the money to buy it. Lol jk I love the idea of the display, but I am not someone that needs a product like that.
You do indeed get a place to live, and with the current cost of living crisis in the UK, that could be an option!
Great review. ID on the headphones?
AirPods Max from Apple.
5K is quite a niche market. The Ultrafine's couldn't be more cheaply made inside and out, last around 1-2 years before faults on average, and have well documented glitches. The studio display will probably last 15 years like all the other apple displays, and be glitch free for the entire experience.. So I'd say yes its worth it. Poor man buys twice.
This is very true!
They know we are suckers and will pay the price, I did. It’s been great for editing and color grading. The box is a bit much…mine is in the garage and I’m keeping it too.
I have now shipped the box off to my dad's house, it is now in his garage!
@@samtheman_tv Excellent choice.
the box is horribly big, yes! I had a cockroach in it when I unboxed it, I have a full video on reddit if you want to see lol
Ewww, that's gross! Happy to see the video!
I’ve a 27inch 5k iMac, I don’t get more screen with a switch, so why would I? Would really like to know!
With the 27inc iMac, there is no need for a studio display. I am jealous of that form factor.
@@samtheman_tv Thanks good info, if only it had a M1/2 under the hood.
Funny. I still haven't worked out a place for my studio display box. It currently lives under my desk. I put in a lot of time tying to talk myself out of buying the display but it came down to scaling. The default for display option is perfect as I was coming from a 2K monitor which had the same 1440p resolution that the studio display uses for this option, whilst retaining the super sharp pixels of a 5K panel. Apple obviously do this so people buy their displays over another brand. I work in design and really appreciate how easy it is to switch between colour modes. The webcam is garbage but I have learnt to just deal with it as most people have potato webcams anyway, and the speakers are surprisingly good.
Thanks for the comment, you make some great additional points! There is nothing quite like it. When I go back to my old monitor at my work desk it makes me realise just how good it is!
I think Apple missed a great opportunity with those cloth handles on the box by not making them detachable, recyclable & transformable into exclusive Apple Watch bands.
What an incredible idea!
If you go for the D5600 you need to know that for the same money Canon offer much better camera in term of video shooting. Photograph both and exactly the same. I will put it that way, if you go nikon 5600 then for video you will be better using your smartphone trust me in this. Conclusion buy Canon instead. Don't ask me which canon DSLR, just pick the one at your budget and you will not regret it. I own the D5500. Yes i regret the stupid video parts autofocus, but for the pictures is fine.
Absolutely, video is not great on the NIKON!
why stop at the remote? put it in almost every product why not
Absolutely!
