When I saw the title, I also instantly thought of my D700
D700 needs to be on the list i will never get rid off mine
What!!!!????? No D700. You have backslidden! Go back and hear yourself swearing you would never, ever sell a D700. Best color of all DSLRs ever made. Your words.
Shame on you, Ken ;) ua-cam.com/video/AgAcD8HIB7M/v-deo.html
Yes. I remembered and I bought 3 d700 and 2 d3 and 1 d3s. Now he likes the d4. It’s not the camera the sucks. It’s the sucky photographer.
D700 for life.
I purchased the X-H1 based on your recommendation. Love it. Used it today.
Ken, I totally agree on the d850, in addition to all the everything it does well, I use it to scan my negatives. Amazing.

I am a Canon shooter. I bought a D3 out of curiosity, and paired it with a 35mm f/2D. I will NEVER SELL it.
Ken, thanks for this. I’ve been at Photographer since my teens, which means the 80s. I have had a lot of ups and downs financially and made some mistakes in selling gear to pay rent. The cameras that I regret selling the most are my Nikon FE, FM2, Leica Minilux, Yashica T4, and Contax T2.
I’m about to buy an XT5, and I hope you do a review of it!
Just bought a D4 with 41000 clicks and in near mint condition for under a grand and will keep it until I go to my grave.... Looking back and wishing I'd never sold my Olympus OM 1,2,4TI, CLASSICS
I've had my D4 from new, still works perfectly so no need to sell. I regret selling my D700 should have kept that.
Ken, love my d500 and through your review of Tamron 35mm f1.4, recently purchased it and LOVE it! Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you for the advice in the XH1 (glad I got it new on sale). I can say I have the xpro1 and believe this is a 'never sell' Camara also because of the nice sensor making great Images plus the range finder style.
I don't sell my cameras because each offers something special. So yeah, that means I have a lot of cameras. But they are now like family and I love everyone of them.
It appears that Ken has not responded to D700 comments, so I guess it's OK to get rid of yours now - you may send them to me. PM for details.
Remaining cameras are Nikon D3x & D4 ...D3x has gotten a bit stick over the years but I like it ...D4 is sublime handling ...
You have some of the best reviews and commenting videos.they make real sense to me.
Didn’t think I would have any on your list. But I have Nikon F4s and the X-H1. Bought the X-H1 brand new for like $700- $750 (no grip) cause of your recommendation. I really like it, thanks! The F4s was given to me and it’s still pretty damn mint. Great camera!
I'd like to hear your insights on lens filters. Your favourite NDs, ProMist filters ect. Also thoughts on portable lighting gear would be interesting.
Well I sold my D500 but I missed it so I bought another one so I could sleep at night just knowing it was there!!!
I have many camera body's from DSLR to mirror less and micro four thirds and some very good point and shoots like the Sony Rx 100 mk 3 but the one camera I hold very dear to my heart is a camera I first started out with when I started getting into photography.... It's a camera with a 12.1 mega pixel sensor but has a constant 2.8 apurture throughout it's entire zoom range of 25-600mm equivalent which is some pretty fast glass considering it's a bridge camera/zoom.
It's a little gem and is a camera I find constantly coming back too even tho I have much more expensive cameras and I can get some amazing images from it also....
The camera in question is the Panasonic Fz200.
😊👍✌️❤️
I am about to go back to shooting Nikon DSLRs and sell off 5 of my 6 Fuji X cameras to pay for a D850, The Fujis I have already decided to hang on to is [yes] my X-H1, idk, maybe ill keep my XPro2 too. Something about the X-H1 that tells me to hang on to it with both hands other than it feels so right in my hands and is a great camera, and the Xpro2 is a Solid, comfy and smooth operating camera as well...
Either way I have always had an eye or feel of quality gear to hang on to and the two Fuji X camera I mentioned and the D850 I agree fits that bill and ones I know I will be happy with for years to come.
I agree on D3s, I wish I never sold mine! Best looking high ISO noise.
you should have Nikon D700 on the list
Anyone suggesting the D700 gets a thumbs up from me.
I have 2 D700's and will NEVER sell them. Just fab pictures from that camera model.
I've been hearing nothing but godrays coming from people about this body.. plus this angry photographer.. whom knows his shit.. It's true.. I've shot with medium format and all the press high end gear.. this thing is the tits. It's worthy of worship. :) This is after three days.. I bought one.. finally.. mostly thanks to Ken here..
Finally some love for film cameras!
Nikon f3, f2 and my Voigt Perkeo 2 6x6, Contax T for my part. Digital cameras get selled when I get tired of them.
any thoughts on underwater film cameras. nikon rs? nikonas v? I wish nikon would make a digital back for rs like kodak did back in the day for navy seals.
The Nikon D700 deserves a honourable mention.
I sold mine, regretted it so just bought one again which I'll now never sell
@@duringthemeanwhilst I held on to mine. I use a D810 and D850 now, but the D700 will always have a special FX place in my heart.
Dave Wood wished I’d kept mine, looking at some of the pictures I got using the 700 there’s just something magical about the 700
@@andyplatt6729 mines a keeper
D700 is a baby D3. Great piece of equipment
I would also add the Fujifilm X-Pro1, with the (how some people say "magic, lil bit film like") x-trans1 sensor. In perfect condition used for around 400€ on ebay which is i would say a very high price for a 8 yrs old apsc camera. But totally worth it :)
nahhhhhh, hehehehe
Very good list for general photographic purposes, but if you are a portrait shooter then the D700 is the #1 never sell.
I am dual wielding a pair myself.
As opposed the d3s why?
Sir just FYI I just pulled the trigger on a full frame camera
D4 nikon also ordered a Tamron 100-400mm lens my 1st Full frame camera excited about it. love your Channel .
oh my god Ken you are a legend 🙏
just bought the tokina 100mm f2.8 and no amount of praise could have described how wonderful that lens was and the price
thank you thank you thank you
Anandhu A.B got the lens as well thanks to Ken, Tested against the 105 and the first five apertures on the tokina are tack sharp, unlike the nikon
Ken, thanks for this different way of talking about cameras. Any opinion on the Nikon D800? Bought it a few years ago secondhand in superb condition (about a 1000 exposures) and I'm still really happy with it. It was my upgrade from a D7000, therefore from dx to fx. Wish you a nice day.
It's tend to yield yellowish pictures. And the noise grain is harsher than other nikon full frame to my eyes.
In my country I saw a guy on a local used market store asking how much he should ask for a Plaubel Makina 670 6x7 medium format rangefinder film camera, with the usual Nikkor 80mm F2.8. He was thinking around $1000. If I were a bastard and had the money I would have gotten it in a heartbeat. Of course others told him about the true value of the camera $2500-3000.
He got it from his grandpa and it was in pristine condition. What a jewel
Great video Ken! Have the X-H1 and totally agree. Unfortunately I’ll have to sell my T2 to make way for the T4, but I think that’s a good upgrade.
How about lenses you should never sell....?
Those which you are using 100% of the time lol
Ken never sells lenses ;-) (I know he does, but damn, it barely dents his collection...)
i love literally everything about this! the atmosphere! the snark! the truth!
Great info as usual. Nikon will never able to economically produce a camera like D4 or D3 any more. One quick questions: Out of 3 medium format from Fuji, if you can only have one, which one would you choose? I probably select 50R, if I can save enough. Be safe.
Sir, would you still recommend buying the D500 today? I was thinking of buying a used US model if I can find it at a good price, and then slowly buying some FX lenses until maybe a year or two reveals more Nikon Full Frames. I am looking to use it as a travel camera (with the Tamron 18-400), and like taking photos of architecture (will need a very wide lens), people, and scenic views.
top video,glad you said the D4...ive got one winging its way to me...could'nt resist had to buy it
Ken - could you do a short video about the D3x explaining why it is you do not recommend it when you do recommend the D3 & D3s?
there are also the cameras sold too soon. I have often seen owners of a new one regretting the old one. It might make sense financially to replace now but keeping the old one for some time makes the upgrade safer .
I have a Nikon D850 and love it, glad to see it on this list but I am getting into film photography and want to use my nikon glass, what are your feelings on the Nikon FA, I searched your site for any video on this old camera but seen nothing, how do you feel about film these days......
Will the XH-2 be good for action/wildlife?
Hi Ken. What about the Fuji x100 series cameras? Any of these? I have a x100f and feel like that I would not want to part with it.
Sir do you have a similar recommendation on canon cameras. Thank you and Kind regards.
I recently sold my D500, hadn't used it for almost a year as I was struggling with the weight. Replaced it with the X-T3 to sit next to my X-H1. 👍
Yup caught my XT3 kissing my XH1 in the closet lol. A pair for life.
The d500 is the lightest camera I own. It is very light.
I own the D500 and D4s. I have been eyeing the D850 to complete my body trinity as I call it.
HI I have a D1H . I really like it . The battery EN-4 is the older rechargeable Ni-MH type . Do you know of a company that makes a lithium replacement battery for it ?
My never ever sell list...
FG, F3, FE2, D700, D750, oly 35RC, Oly Pen EE s, Ricoh 500 GX, Yashica 35 Electro, Nikon AW100. They all offer something unique and most of them aren't worth an awful lot of money so I'm not tempted to sell them. I also use a sony rx100 iv for a pocket camera when I'm out with my kids but if something just as pocketable comes along with a bigger sensor and better ergonomics I'm trading in that sucker.
What are the issues with D3X id be very interested to know,thnx
Just bought a Nikkor 600mm F4 AIS for a steal, any thoughts on how good it is?
As a member of a D3 cult...I'm not selling mine. I will get D4 soon. I also have a first Canon 5D and I'm never going to sell it. All the best, Ken!!!
awesome name!
I bought a new XH1 with grip when they were on sale in Aust recently & have it packed away for a 50th b’day present for myself. I was starting to have second thoughts after listening to the talk of it’s sensor being too outdated
& was thinking I should have held out for an XT3 when the price drops (I can’t quite manage the entry price for a XT4). You have brightened my day & helped me believe I might have done the right thing by grabbing the XH1 when I did. I don’t buy the latest & greatest when they come out. I buy when the price is right & enjoy them for a long time. I can’t wait to start using it. 😊
XT3 is horrible compared to the XH1, I couldn't wait to sell it. I have two XH1 cameras now..
@@jukeboxjohnnie That's great to hear Jonathan. I hope I enjoy it as much as you. I always find that it's the handling that makes the biggest difference with a camera. My eyes usually can't spot differences between sensors but if I enjoy the feel and ergonomics of a camera, it makes the camera more pleasurable to use.
You are 100% right. The cameras you listed I agree completely. The Pentax 6×7 was unbelievable, the balance and feel. Just great! The images stunning. I loved that 105. I would sell my house before selling my 850. I shot with a Nikon F with standard prism , beautiful camera. I had a black & chrome body, and used a gossen luna pro, great days. Thanks for letting me go down memory lane.
Fujifilm X-T4 is the odd-one-out in this list, becuase it was introduced to market only in February 2020, so probably not many people own it. Who whould sell it after just 2/3 months? :P
For me in no particular order - (FILM) Fujica ST801n, Canon FT QL, Voigtlander Vito II, (DIGITAL) Pentax K3, Fuji X-T1.
Whatever makes you happy, keep it. Whatever makes workflow faster, keep it.
I sure enjoy your videos, Ken. I suppose everyone has their own list, but I'll never sell my Nikon F3, F5, or D1, and I probably wouldn't sell my Kodak DCS760 either.
i sold my d850 and d500 i had a z6 an a d7200 as back up i then picked up a d4 with 16000 clicks on it a minter loved it ive sold that whoops! ive sold the z6 an now im waiting on another d850......... ken is not wrong on this! im still using the d7200 though
I sold my X-T20 and wish I never had. It's the camera that got me into Fujifilm.
I regret selling mine too, great camera
I have it and your right..
It is an amazing camera I'd never part with mine 😊👌👍✌️
I would argue the xt3. Tilt screen best for street photography!
Love my D750. I’ll save up for the D850 in the future.
Even though it is not on your list I will never sell my D700 it never let's me down.
Hi man! I'd like to have your opinion since I'm not really sure which one to get. I'm torn between xh1 and xt3, these days, secondhand xh2 with battery grip goes arounr $850 and secondhand xt3 body only goes around $800-$850 and a brand new xt3 sells for $950-$999. I mostly do stills and portraits and I travel a lot using fuji 56mm 1.2 and 18-135mm lenses. can you give me your thoughts? I currently have xt2 and I'm selling it for the upgrade. Thank you!
Should I still show my X T2 some love since I never shoot video or upgrade?
I have an X-T4 and I would never sell it, I bought all the camera cage equipment I could until it stopped being produced and it’s everything I need. I would never sell it as to me it’s the golden camera on the Fuji X-T lineup. Has a battery grip, has a flippy screen, sensor is just right and has ibis. Plus it has dials like all other previous models which I love. Would never sell would never upgrade unless they make a better version of the X-H cameras or if I had enough money for a GFX 100 🤞
I live on a modest fixed income and have truly enjoyed my two Nikon D300 DSLRS. I use MF Nikkor 20f3.5 and 24f2.8 ais lenses plus a 200 f4 ai, that I also use on my Nikon F and F5. When I see something truly special, I pull out my Linhof 617s Technorama and Fujica GW690. After 50 years of photography, I've settled on these cameras. I won't sell them. I used to think of cameras as just tools. Now they are artifacts of my soul. In my advancing years ("I'm not dead yet"!Monty Python reference) I have learned to be content. I enjoy your video, not because I want more gear, but because it is a celebration of excellence. I am happy for all photographers who obtain the cameras of their dreams and use them in a way that keeps them timeless. God bless us and our cameras, each and every one.🌿📷
Excellent, thank you Ken.
Part 2
Which lenses to never sell please !!
2 C in Johannesburg right now 🥶
I still have my release day X-H1.
X-H1 with 35mm lens on sale here for £849 or $1050 here in the UK, Great deal
No love for the D700? I have two... might sell one off after seeing this....
I would totally ditch the XT4 and the D500 and put the D700 on that list instead.
Not selling mine.... no way...
@@gentrygarage you can buy them for 300 now!
@@andrelousada Yes, but I would have to buy some lenses too. I need to move to a bigger place first :)
what about the Nikon FM 2 & D800E Ken?
MMMM, I am good.. I will be keeping my D3, D3S, D4, and D500....Also kinda like my D810, though I know it's not quite a D850. The money just doesn't justify the upgrade from the D810 to D850....YET!
The GFX 50R is down to 3000 Euros lightly used and the 50mm 600-1000. But I'm just an amateur and I like my T3 but I thought I'd try a larger sensor size and higher res. camera. The comparison GFX 50R vs. Sony AR IV and good lenses seems to be firmly in favour of the GFX, except that one can get good cheap Tamron zooms for the Sony. Is there a GFX 50R II on the horizon? But I think I'll stick with the T3 and get the Pro3 or T4 as a second camera and rather get more glass for it, like the 80mm macro.
I’ve got both the 50R and the A7r4. The IQ is excellent on both but the 50R gives a subtly different look because of its larger sensor.
However there is a huge difference in the way these cameras are used in practice. The 50R will slow you down. You will find yourself considering your shots more carefully with it in your hands. For some people, myself included, the slow approach helps me to get better images.
@@Muchtoobizy That is true, though I do like some speed because of street. Probably the XT4 and GFX 50R is the best combination. Not quite sure Sony is really worth the money. Their advantage is Tamron.
Actually I sold my Nikon F4s and my Pentax 6x7... and I am about to sell my XH1 to get the XT4... damn.
"Slower than a constipated turtle" Is this Canadian slang I'm hearing? :o
The Q button still work on your X-T4?
I own a Nikon d4 and Fuji xt3, saw an xh1 at the pawn shop for 630 bucks! So picked it up even though I don’t need it lol
so cheap!
What is your opion of nikon D7000 and D5000 like to receive your input
I’m glad I still have and use my Canon EOS 1 D Mark 3 and my 1DS 3
Man I like them APS-H sensors! Most of my glass that is Super35 / APS-C work on my A7SII with a 1.2-1.3 crop. I wish Canon wouldn’t make the APS-C glass unable to fit APS-H and FF. Let me experiment!
My Sony let’s me use S35 mode or FF
My dad had a lieca R4 years ago
Think he sold it for 700 pound when I was young. Are they any good?
X-H1 Brilliant for night time & adapted vintage lenses!!
X-H1 and i look for a second one.
No XT-3 or 4...the X-H is the one👍
The "better" sensor for photography (no video user) , i think🤷♂️
I didn’t know of that song, so I looked it up and listened..... melancholy. You did a fine job for a non-singer ;) Your resonance was on point, and the trilling R would make me think you have mastered Spanish, lol!
nahhh, i cant sing
@@kathodosdotcom - oops, just realized I put the comment under the wrong video! It was supposed to be under the short Canada video with you singing the intro and outro.
What about Sony a7riv and Canon mark iv?
And Sony a6400 and Sony a9?
Dear Ken, how do you deal with humidity and taking care of cameras and more important the lens? I live in deepest darkest Kernow in southwest UK, it be a damp place at time and i suffer with mold inside the lens. Is there a efficent way of getting rid of mold or are they fooked..? Pray tell thy thoughts master ken
P.s olympus om1 my number 1
Looks like you got some more stuff bud- you're filming area looks a little bit more crowded than I last remember. :) I'm a little bit claustrophobic looking at it
What you have changed your mind on the D700. And as you said “Best colour of all DSLR’s” ever made.
These were your own words 5 years ago.
I totally agree :)
What about lenses you should never sell!
Would also be a great video.
Just bought an x-h1. Best camera I've ever owned. I have an x-t1 in graphite (silver) and it's too beautiful to sell.
It really is!
Is the Nikon FM3a the greatest film camera that Nikon ever made?
No, the F2 Series is.
Hi Ken, is that a printer behind your monitor? What model is that?
epson 2760 ecojet
Mamiya RB67, I have five of them. Also Nikon F2, only two of those...
Hey Ken, if you had an opportunity to trade an X-H1 for an X-T4, would that be something worth considering?
Or would it still be worthwhile to hold onto the X-H1 :)
Thanks Ken!
ehh, nobody gonna trade those EVEN.
@@kathodosdotcom that's fair, but would you say it's worthwhile if it was?
Maybe you have a video about this already, but I would be interested in hearing your opinion if you had to choose between the X-H1 and the X-T4 if they were the same price or something like that :)
I'd like to vounteer the "fuji w3 with stereobase extender" - nothing like this was made ever since
Wow... if I had ANY of those mentioned cameras I would definitely sell them with GREAT reason, very contrary to you :-) If I were hyped in shooting digital I might like the D850 for a while, but should likely sell it some time down the line anyway. Go buy a real camera instead, like the Nikon F2
Personally, the FM3a is a camera I will never sell...
Man in a camera shop 50 years ago 😱 recommended Chinon CE-4 35mm SLR, Vivitar 75-205 macro + Ricoh 50mm f/1.4. Over time added battery grip, range of Cokin filters, couple of flash units. Learned a massive amount with that set up. One of my daughters started a DSLR course at college. Took the plunge into DSLR with the Nikon D90 as my new camera, more so she could use a decent camera on her course. Gave the SLR kit to a friends son and I’ve moved on to the brilliant D850, with a range of lenses and accessories recommended by your good self. The D850 will see my time out, then go to my daughter. She will get a fantastic kit, thanks to you Ken. Keep up the good work Sir!
What about the lenses you should never sell?
Fuji Xf 16mm 1.4, Voigtländer 58mm
All my favourite images were taken on the 35mm 1.4mm. It looks different to other lenses in the same focus range I believe.
