This is gret! Keep up the quality. This channel deserves so much more subscribers. I'm glad youtube recommended this to my feed.
Ah thank you! That's very kind! 🙌
Couldn't tell you're 'new' - good job
Thank you! And on the FF point, it really depends what you're used to and what you do with it in my opinion. It was only because I was exposed mainly to FF in University that I can't leave it, but the MFT realm is strong for a reason, it's much more cost effective for lenses (less so with bodies now as FF cameras get older). But that FF look and high ISO quality are definitely real factors for me in particular, especially for photography! 🙂
@@thatjakegriffin Thanks so much for the advice! I really only use it for photography. What would you say is a good starting point into FF with regards to lenses?
I find that bodies such as the sony a7 alpha or mark 2 are, as you say, pretty cheap second hand - so they might be a good alternative to my lumix G7.
I think for lenses, a great starting point is a good zoom on the wide to mid focal lengths, and then a prime for portraits, products or street shots, like the ones that I mentioned. With the Sony system, the great thing is is that they have loads of options for lenses from their range, but also Tamron as well, and especially again if you get a decent secondhand item! Haven't used the older Sony bodies admittedly, but I know their sensors are still great for photos, but their batteries are the older ones which weren't as great for battery life.
I would also look at the older Lumix bodies either like the S5 or S1, especially if you're used to Lumix menus and buttons, but admittedly their lenses aren't as wide of a selection or as cheap yet, but worth looking at on secondhand also.
My best advice though is always try out a camera model and/or lenses from a store or rental company if you haven't used it before (Lumix Loan is great for that as well) as it will quickly tell you how you feel about it and what you like or don't. 😊
@@thatjakegriffin thanks so much! I’ll check it out. Great tip hiring the camera for a bit to see if it matches my expectations 😄
awesome video!! wish you more subs and views :)
Thank you! 😁
I also thinking to upgrade from A73 to Lumix5Sii ot Canon R. I have watched your video about Lumix5SiiX as well. New sub here 😊
Ah awesome, thank you! 😄 Best of luck with the upgrade!
Just subbed! Good luck with the channel! I’ve been looking at a lot of content around the current market and for those interested in both photography and video, the LUMIX S5iiX seems to be well respected! Almost ready to pull the trigger, but €2k is a big step! ( but I’m sorta reluctant to spend any money on 2nd hand knowing ill just want the S5 anyway) Watch this space 😀
Thank you! Appreciate that! 😁 It really is, and I know it's easy to get caught up in the hype on here but it is a great camera. I'd also consider the S5II as it's cheaper and does 90% of the same thing as the S5IIX does straight out of the box. And I was really reluctant to pull that trigger for a long time but once I'd done all the research I could, and tested the camera out, once the time is right, it's a great decision! Best of luck with it! 😄
Keep it up brother
Thank you! I will do! 👌
I think the new Z6 III is that camera. Stellar stills, and now amazing RAW 6K internal video in many codes/frame rates. Best bang for the buck
Can't deny, the Z6III is hard to ignore, admittedly I recorded this before it was announced! 😅 But I am very excited to get my hands on it and test it out given what it offers!
@@thatjakegriffin - The way you were about the A7 III was how I was about the Z6 II, which were basically identical to the A7 III only difference was monitor, 10 or 12-bit RAW external. But both A7 III and Z6 II were capped at 8-bit 4:2:0 internal which was very limited in what it could do.
I never complained about the IQ our dynamic range as it was top notch but I hit the limits on video constantly. While I liked the Z8, I missed the smaller, lighter body of the Z6. I also didn’t need 45mp. I never cropped, printed, and the noise I saw in the Z8 images and video compared to my Z6 II was noticeable.
That’s why the Z6 iii is perfect. Small, light, fast, and now a video powerhouse.
Really great, honest and sincere piece. Love the presentation style that explains the emotional connection mirrored with a technical appreciation of the camera. You can tell the passion for the subject which helps make it a trusted source of knowledge for anyone with a love of photography.
Thank you! Really kind words! I'm really glad my passion and appreciation came through! 😀
Great information and presentation!
Thank you!
