I have always wondered what other UA-camrs use as a camera for fun and I finally got the chance to ask this question on a recent trip to Utah.

I think I made a lot of sense. Not in this video. But other times in other videos. I've made sense then, I think? Yeah, definitely.
That makes sense
Be interesting to see you test a film camera, maybe an April Fools video.
DUN DUN…. He’s crazy 🖤
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Gerald's Answer was exactly what I would expect from him.
I saw this in my feed completely forgetting that you asked me too and legitimately laughed when my face popped up. Thanks for having me!
I loved that the first for fun camera was yours and medium format film camera!
Thanks for including me! It’s fun seeing what other people enjoy shooting with. There’s no right or wrong choice
Lmao, Gerald. What a mess 😂😂
Next time include the guy from Camera Conspiracy
The X100V is just a simple, pleasure of a camera to use. If I was asked that same question, I would absolutely say the X100V. I have so many cameras to choose from and this is the most fun to use for everyday, casual images that gets out of the way because it’s never in the way.
Nice to see all the x100v love, but it's surprising nobody mentioned a Ricoh GR
Loved this one. Awesome to learn what brings the joy to full time camera buffs. I love hearing the reason each user has for their choices
Pros pretty consistently want their fun camera to feel different than their work camera, to get them out of their box, to be a different experience altogether. And it helps if it looks good and makes you want to pick it up. For me it was film rangefinders, Yashica, then Zorky. Now it is the Nikon Zf that makes me want to pick it up.
Such a fun video! Really makes me want to learn how to take photos on something I could pick up from a thrift store 😅
This is the exact problem most UA-camrs don’t tackle, but it’s so important to normal users. Thank you for addressing this topic! I use an FX3 for professional video projects, but it’s not a camera I want to grab everyday. So for fun, I choose the Sigma FP with the EVF because that’s the main feature the FX3 is lacking. For photo, I either go with a Leica M240 with a small vintage lens, or the Fuji X30 which has the perfect body and lens design of any compact camera.
Great to see so much film camera love! Shooting for fun has to be the first reason to shoot.
He does it again - amazing video Brandon Y Lee
I loved the ZV-1 when I had access to it, and I bought a Nikon D3500 years ago that I thought I would sell to make room for other stuff, but I just can't give that one up, it's still my main photography camera with the two kit lenses it came with! Good video to ask those that are able to have access to so many options!
I have a Fuji x100f that I used for a "just for fun" and travel camera for 2 or 3 years, but I bought a Fui xe4 this year. I realized that although the 100f was forcing me to experiment a lot with framing and story telling because of the fixed lens, it was also leading me to miss a lot of shots due to the lack of a zoom lens. I like prime lenses don't get me wrong, but WOW the xe4 with the 18-55 f2.8-4 small kit lens is amazing and so fun to use. You get the fun and feel of the x100 series but with a lot more flexibiity, so for me the xe4 is the perfect fun, travel, street and lifestyle photography camera. Will I use either of them for a paid shoot, I doubt it, but for everything that involves having a good time with photography, xe4 all the way.
Cool video. Enjoyed hearing from and seeing the people I watch, in one place.
I love the good enough 2:43
I have been using the Nikon zf c for the last year. If you're looking into a fun digital camera, I can recommend it. I work on professional photography sets, and everyone assumes it's analogue. Also, on holiday it's not so much in your face as a dslr or a regular mirrorless camera.
I recently received an old fujifilm finepix camera from a friend it has a ccd sensor, it's tiny and produces weirdly beutiful pictures and I love it, it has some issues but I just love to carry it around everywhere in my pocket...
Great video Brandon!
I shot digital my entire life. But then I found my grandpas old Canon AE1 and I love it! It's just so much fun to think about how you get the best shot in this location because taking multiple is pretty expensive. While shooting my first roll of film I didn't even know if this camera was working correctly. It took me about 2 months to fill the roll of Portra 400. When I got it developed and digitalized it was an amazing expierience seeing pictures I completely forgot about and they looked amazing. So yeah, it has to be film for me
what a fun video
5d mark iv
Pentax Optio M50. My first digital camera. Its so small.
Got one of my favourite photos with it. Only 8mp and horrible quality but it captured such a unique moment. I was in my kayak on a calm sea and the sun was low. Entire sky was red and yellow and all the colour reflected on the water surface. The camera being so portable allowed me to take the photo before the sun was below the horizon. This was before phone cameras was even a thing. It was great to have it with me on my journeys.
Today I would say the most fun camera is the one I have with me, so either the smartphone camera or the canon R6.
That ad read 😂
i recently picked up a sigma dp2 quattro and it's gotta be the most fun i've had with a camera in a while, so weird and so bad in certain areas, but the photos are so damn good if the stars align
No Ricoh GR II or GR III? You guys are missing out. I have a Leica M240 and it's fun too, but the GR is pocket friendly and the photos have vibes!
I loved Jessica’s answer! To be that in touch with your camera that it becomes second nature is amazing.
5:09 5D mk IV represent! I love mine and still cannot bring myself to upgrade from it.
For me it's either my Leica X1 or Leica TL2. I think the TL2 is the most fun but they are close. Love them both for "fun" photography time.
For me, photography is purely for fun. I have a busy day job and when I pick up a camera I want to enjoy using it. From that perspective, I don't care about the latest and greatest features (though you always drool over them when watching reviews), and I don't need the best quality a camera can offer. I just want to feel connected to the world around me, take great pictures and video, and share the joy and the beauty that you saw. I used to exclusively own a Fuji X100T, and though I loved shooting with it, I still find myself missing the versatility of an interchangeable lens camera as it's my only lens. The X100 series is a great second camera, but it can be limiting if it's your only camera. I now use a Fuji XT4 and loves it. I mostly stick with the 33mm f1.4, which is small and light and versatile enough that it's almost like the X100 series, but I can always swap on another lens when I need a different focal length. The tactile feeling and the retro looks are all there, and the Fuji system is small and light enough for me to not bother bringing it out with me.
We watched this video on our TV the other day. We are not youtubers, but just amateur hiking photographers, who between the two of us shoot wildlife, landscapes, flora, fauna, other hikers on the trail, hiking activities such as putting on a tent, etc. We would have loved to see someone responded that Pentax K-3 iii monochrome is what they have as a fun camera. We were watching a video on it by other youtubers and thought that that would be the camera that serious photographers should lay their hands on to have fun.
I would have said "the camera that's on me at the time something fun happens... Usually my phone"
Ben had it right, the iPhone! Especially with all the great apps like NOMO cam, FIMO and RNI Films, can't beat it.
My favorite camera is my Fujifilm X-T3 for photography. I don't have any other camera at the moment, (which I believe is a type of inter dimensional crime), but If I could get a new one just for fun, I think it would have to be an Instax Square Sq6. A a whole bag full of fim.
Excellent!
lol I also rock an x100. its just the one that I have. Would love to get a newer one at some point but I've just rocked the OG for years. great travel cam. Although its slowly being replaced by a digicam
Mine would be the Canon A470.
Sentimental as it's my family's first digital camera, runs on 2x AA batteries, uses an old tiny CCD sensor that just looks different, and a flash you have to use because of its poor dynamic range and unusable ISO above 400. Pure point-and-shoot.
Just ordered the Camp snap camera. That will be my fun camera
Such a fun video!
Wow!!! lol most people i follow for tech in the same video...Nobody mentioned the ricoh gr III...it's reeeeally fun!
Great video. Not sure if anyone else had this issue but the video preview boxes at the end of the video blocked a good chunk of the verdict table for me
it looked like dbrand took you hostage for that sponsor spot
No Panasonic represented???? Like the S5IIx?? surprised.
I got a hold of a PowerShot g5 and it's so fun to use I love the cc'd sensor and it has a film/2000s look that I really can't produce through edits
Also try out adapting a snapshot camera lens to your mirroless is the most fun I've had with my R
I just purchased two new cameras, dji osmo pocket 3 and insta360 go 3… and of these two cameras I have more fun with is the Go3, I never have so much fun using this camera like other camera in my whole life, the size and magnetic of this camera makes so versatile that no other camera has. For me this is the most unique camera release in years. Don’t shoot 4k, DR is not that great and is terrible in low light, but that ways you can use it makes you doesn’t care about quality and the quality is not that bad for the size. Other great feature this camera has is that when is not attached in the pod you can wirelessly monitor your footage. This is a must buy for everyone that has kids and also is a great camera to pair with your main camera for vlogging.
I bought a Pocket 2 when the Pandemic started, figuring my channel would go frozen given I shoot music/bands and as you know everything shut down...FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. well, I had agh5 but I started shooting with the Pocket and hadn't had so much fun in ages....easy peasy and in good light, the video looked fab. frankly the image from the 2 ain't much diff than the 3, except in low light, although the 2-s 1/8 aperture aint bad really. anyhoo......you betcha. you want FUN? not work? get a POCKET from DJI. point and shoot and be amazed.
@@martysender5539 pocket cameras from dji is nice cameras but I do not have fun with my pocket 3, every time I use it I’m afraid to no broken due it’s very fragile. I took the pocket 3 to the beach and the wind blow a bit of sand and the gimbal sometimes now stock.
Olympus em5 version one...total blast
I have one of them and it's so great. Feels like a brick and has the best dials of any camera I've used. The clicks that the front dial makes are the most satisfying sound ever.
a very small brick, i hardly feel the weight when i throw it around my neck. but throw some Leica glass on the em5, and wow....the IQ is as good as IMO cameras much newer and much more expensive. @@pringleboat
What’s great about the iPhone is you get a phone along with your camera 😂
I was expecting most of them to just laugh and say their phone... These were way more interesting answers.
Good old dbrand 😂
Brandon, great video. Your description says that you used the Fuji xh2s for this video, but with a Sony lens? I’m confused. If you could please clear this up, I would appreciate it. Thank you. I just discovered your channel.
In his description he lists a Sigma lens, not a Sony lens
I know Canon just killed the EF mount but I love my EOS Rebel T3 with my Sigma 150-600mm lens coming up on 90k photos with that camera and will use it till it dies then possibly upgrade/sidegrade to a Mark 2 of some sorts.
The ones talking about ones they wanted totally misunderstood the assignment.
Great video
canon sd1000 🖤
Since I shoot film photography, I have like 11+ cameras that are always fun. Video/digital is work. Analog is fun.
Great Video
2 fun cameras for me IPhone 14 Pro Max and a lumix g95 both very fun to use .
+1 to the XA2 (or 3)🎉
Mine is 5D2 with a EF50mm f/1.8 STM.
Wish I had known about this, I am in Utah. But I bet it was for big creators.
*I have my FX30 for Fun because I've never had a Cinema Camera b4. I also have the ZV-E10 as my not wanting to break my FX30 camera lmao*
I just use my terrible horrible and very hated EOS R, and I love every moment of it.
The og X100 is the best answer ❤
Jessica was embarrassed to say she still uses a DSLR lol
Leica....just a ton of fun.
My cam for fun is my new small ZVE1 😅
Caleb: I don’t always shoot recreationally… but when I do.. I prefer Sony
jessica is relatable stay with what works
Gerald saying he doesn’t like holding Hasselblad? I am sure he didn’t mean the X1D or X2D. Their grip is their best quality.
Kofi and Cam🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have 5 cameras
GFX50S ii
Nikon D850
Dji drone
My fun camera is fuji xt5
And yes I shoot professionally
Fun camera EOS m with magic lantern
I would go with the x100t before , but they are so overpriced now that i sold it, so I'm gonna go with the other overpriced camera that I own, the Olympus Mju 😂 great video 👌
Q3 or the RX1R Mark 2
My fun camera is my z9 and r5 and my Panasonic s1r
I feel like you could have had a much longer conclusion/editorial segment at the end. Good video tho.
Nice
Very cool too see everyones takes on what they shoot with, and the story behind it. Gearldundone had me laughing with how he speaks like Elon Musk
Likely because they both have aspergers (not a joke, Gerald mentioned in an older vid).
A lot of ppl who dont have and never touched the camera they use for fun. I concluded that they dont have fun.
A lot of the folks interviewed don't seem to use a camera for fun. The question was which camera do you use for fun however some of the answers were which camera I would like to use.
Because you didn't ask... my favorite camera for fun is my Sony NEX 5n with the 16mm pancake lens. (AKA: E.V.I.L. = electronic viewfinder interchangable lens) it's like having a dslr for half the size and still rocks an asp c sensor and fits in my front Jean pocket. My go pro 9 also feels bullet proof, I hate it for stills but video is almost too easy , doesn't even need a gimble.
Contax crew!
For Fun only the Q2. For work Nikon Z8. 😁
Checks out.
The only I agree with is the guy picking a Hassblad film camera or a smart phone Iphone/Android. Maybe it's the way you phrased the question.
Many successful creators I know choose the A7 IV over the A7S III - and they own both.
What I learned from this video:
Gerald talks a lot 😭☠
I love Gerald
The answer from GeraldUndone feels expected. He reviews so much cams, that his brain automatically goes into "reviewermode" if you know what I mean.
Where’s the Ricoh gr iiix love?
I’m with Brandon - Leica q (2).
Many M43 models are in fact better than x100. Great stabilization, fast single autofocus and sharp lens make a hugh difference. But Fujifilm is quite in vogue today indeed.
That's not why people who love Fuji are attracted to them though. The colors and shooting experience that's more analog are the deeper reasons.
@@NathanTrimbach color science is subjective. Film simulation is interesting indeed. This is probably the biggest feature of fuji. the analog feeling is a big selling point. Olympus and Lumix cameras are also retro with way better ergonomics than Fuji in my opinion. (Btw, Fuji didn't make cameras before. Their retro design is copied from others)
@@bigtiger567Fuji has been making cameras since the 1930s. Ergonomics are subjective too. For me Olympus and Panasonic have missed the mark by making cameras that have retro designs without the thing I personally want from a “retro” camera which is traditional controls ie aperture ring and shutter speed dial. I learned how to shoot on film and much prefer the classic control layout to PASM mode dials. If Olympus made the Pen F with classic controls I would have bought one in an instant.
@@bigtiger567Fuji has been making cameras since 1948. You're misinformed.
1:23 those guy use Sony zve1 with Fuji 23f2, is that possible?
I think people tend to go back to the lower tier and analog gear to have fun is because they need passive limitation and challenge to find the new involvement to have fun, I think the better way is to have an active mind in every aspect in life, you don't have to go backward but you can go forward to have fun too, the actual not escape but active you make it kind of fun, you can try to find new perspective, philosophy, set new goals, change setting, put manual lens and so on and you still can have fun with your work gears! Some say Sony isn't fun but some say it is, maybe it's depend and the balance if you know what's out there and only access to what you have. And some think they will have fun if they go with Leica and Hasselblad but it might just be a desire and curiousity and once they have it, it's not much more than just an escape and possibility, your perfect workable camera has limitation to have fun and barrier, these fun analog and lower tier cameras have their quirks to make them fun but then there will be new barrier that you won't like or find it fun with, again, have a active, many perspectives and so on kind of mind make you find fun in everything!
Canon r6 Mark 2 for photos and then iPhone 15 pro max for video
I thought you would elaborate more on conclusion, talking about pró2s and cons, but its Nice anyways
iphone and ZV-1
You’re at a Sony event, I would expect Sony to win.
