legit i dusted my old t3i these days ago and took it to a shoot to throw in some "vintage" vibe footage in the edit and it turned out so good. inspired me to even try to use it again some time just for the heck of it
That ending had a better plot twist than most movies. This video was incredibly well written and performed. i found a Canon C200 in good condition for $1,300 the other day but I seceond guessed myself and of course watched it sell out from under me. I know I can't live with regrets but I know this will hurt for a long time.
I love that everyone has a nostalgia memory with their T3i Mine was the day it stopped working and I felt like I lost my friend, as well as my biggest tool for filmmaking Losing it opened my eyes to other options and so I did, but never forgot my T3i
Fantastic video. I relate so much to your camera journey. Started with the Canon T6 I got for Christmas, 6-8 months later I bought my first camera with my own money, the Fuji Xpro3. I absolutely loved that camera and made the best images I’ve taken with the Xpro3. But about 2 years later , I wanted a video camera. I saw Bo Burnhams “Inside” on Netflix and learned it was shot with the Limix S1H. I had watched videos about this camera when it released and remembered people saying great things about it. So I bought it. I went an entire year without using the S1H , it just kind of sat in my bag. But now I’m excited about filming/creating again and I still have my awesome S1H. I have so much to learn but I’m ready. I’m helping film my friends second ever film with the S1h and my other camera… I recently sold my Xpro3 to a friend , as I was feeling uninspired in my photography and wanted a change. I bought the Eos R3 and RF 70-200 2.8 Both cameras are way more than I need , but I’ve forced my self into a place where my gear is more than good enough, I just have to work on improving my own skills with them. I agree with not being worried about switching systems or trying new cameras, but at the same time your tools are for creating , and that should be the main focus
good video! I recently: 1. Bought a used c100Mii 2. Bought a used c200 3. Sold my gh5 4. Bought Lumix S5 + S5II I'm pretty happy with this setup because it gives me options for several multicam scenarios :)
Man on paper the C100 mii is a dog. Yet over all the years and cameras I've sold and upgraded and moved on I still have and use my c100 mii's. Love that camera.
Loved the ending 🎬 Throughout the video I was wondering on what camera other than Canon could you get such colors. And you're absolutely right. More often than not we're distancing ourselves from the content and focus too much on the image. An entire industry is built on this.
I appreciate your honesty; I think we're all infected with "camera envy" to at least some degree. Get out there and shoot with what you have is the best advice I've heard--thanks!
Its sow awsome to listen to your wonderful story and i love your conclusion at the end. This was almost like a short movie even tough you just talk to the camera. Very well done.
I shot tons of short and feature films with my friends back in the 90s with Hi8 tape. All analog. Editing with VHS recorders and analog sound mixers. The last thing on my mind was image quality. I developed as a filmmaker more than I could imagine because I was focused on actual filmmaking instead of specs. You kids these days waste too much time on the camera instead of the story. You have no idea how lucky you are with all the tech you have available and you sometimes get lost in it. Focus on story and reaching an audience. These days more than ever cameras are redundant. Almost any camera is more than capable of shooting decently. Best of luck and nice video btw.
In those days it was such a joy to even be able to capture an image. Editing with VCRs was a nightmare but felt like such an achievement to pull off an edit. Simpler times.
This video is amazing. And the ending left me wanting more. Don't wanna be bias but I knew that look from the video was from an specific brand i love Hehe. Keep helping us through this journey bro. Great video
Really happy that UA-cam recommended me your channel Jake, youve got some killer potential and I wouldn’t he surprised if I saw your channel at 100K+ subscribers a year from now.

Sure life got in the way but I can admit that I have become a consumer. I think it’s time to go back to the drawing board and ask myself what really matters.

I actually have no idea, I'm not even sure that I checked it. It's in awesome shape though. The CFAST slot is really finicky but other than that it has been an awesome camera to own
Honestly today, as long as the dynamic range is fine, you have a flat-ish profile and a decent 10 bit code (4:2:0 or 4:2:2) you’re fine. A GH5 is $600-$1000 used, and while it may or may not come with VLOG, you have Cinelike D. Investing in that, and either a 12-35 f2.8 or going for a Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 with a speedbooster (and take the lenses to a different camera system) is fine. In fact even just the 25mm f1.7 is fine. Use whatever is left on good lights.
Man, you make such excellent videos. What could have ended up another overproduced, flashy "you'll never believe what camera I chose" clickbait video instead told a wonderful story that I bought from beginning to end. Thank you.
I'm still shooting on my canon 700d (T5i). which is due an upgrade. Since I've noticed a lot with it that I'm not happy about, no headphone jack, really shitty auto focus, no proper white balance control, and the 30 min time limit which is extremely annoying for interviews. I've tried the magic bullet camera hack so I have have those controls, and it made the camera really annoyingly slow. I love using the Canon C70 its one of my favourite cameras to use and I'm definitely buying one for my business. I love how the image looks, feels and rigs up. But choosing my next camera is going to be a hard choose for me. Since I'll be looking for features I've used on set.
I miss the days when I ran around with 1 battery, my a6600, and 8bit footage. Don’t get me wrong, I love my current FX30 - but the simplicity of being with such small set ups was like a euphoria. Hopefully, I can get the same feeling again.
Am I a consumer or... hit a bit hard because I'm in the middle of an update from my old Canon 5D mark iii and Blackmagic Cinema pocket camera with speed booster and a lot of add-ons from SmallRig among others. Before all that I came from Sony. But I am not a cameraman as a starting point, but a motion graphics designer who also films and takes photos or makes stop motion recordings plus VFX. Should I now sell all my EF glass and switch platforms to a Sony FX6 with an internal ND filter and great sound outputs, but which cannot take photos? Or a Panasonic Lumix S1H?... I was in doubt for a long time.. I ended up with a Canon EOS R5C hybrid, - I've used it almost every day since I got it, but in the update I feel like you're entering a gold rush. because you also know what you need to make it work for what you want to do and you feel like more of a consumer and not someone who goes out and films. It's not the brand that sells for me, but how it fits into my work flow - I'm not going out to do a documentary or a wedding (although that can easily be done with this Canon camera) It has to meet my needs and then some. I'll have to go out and film now - thanks for the upload. 🥳😊
We're at a strange point where there's no limit to tech but still find ourselves stuck for some reason. Even when you go as far as going to Mars for example, "we" already have the tech to do it but the bottleneck is the limitations of being a human. It's crazy.
You definitely had G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). You can easily shoot on any camera. For example Documentaries: Nobody cares about the camera. It only comes down to the story and solid audio. In the end you remember great composition and a story that touched you emotionally, that's all.
got an XT4 - started shooting weddings after being made redundent - i am getting twisted with how it is hard to change frame rates not having shutter angle or NDs ( I really hate VNDs) though this video made me a bit sad and editing the Fuji footage you kind of dont think or care though the c200 seems to tick all the boxes and i think I am gonna take the plunge.
I'll admit every brand makes perfectly adequate cameras. Then it comes down to preference and what you need. For a long time I've felt like a general rule is the most true to what you see with your own eyes images come mostly out of Canon and Nikon cameras. Photo and video. Most other brands generally aren't as sharp and have some degree of color shift. Often that can be compensated for with lots and color grading but not always. Let's face it most people don't use that image straight out of the camera anyway. It's always altered and degraded to make it less true to life and more "cinematic". Sony while it's picture may not be as wysiwyg, they tend to pack more features in their cameras at similar price points. More recently I've been leaning more towards Sony myself for that reason. I've been a big Canon fan going back to the film days for photos. When the t3i came out it was literally the best bang for your buck prosumer camera for both photos and videos. I was hooked. Canon made me really angry as they moved to the mirrorless realm. The problem was glass. I had all these EF and EFS lenses and they brought out M-mount then R-mount. There is no reason they couldn't put EF mount natively on mirrorless cameras. Sure there are adapters and speedboosters but the traditionally add more distortion to the image. They still haven't brought out enough R-mount lenses to match my existing lenses and M-mount has been abandoned. I really feel like anyone that bought M series cameras really got screwed over. I figured if I'm replacing glass anyway I might as well look at other brands. I almost went down the Panasonic route with the GH5 then Sony released the A series. The A7siii has just been a great jack of all trades camera. The FX30 and the ZV-E1 are in that same realm. Sure you can probably find other cameras that handle individual functions and features better but few cameras have them all as well and at similar price points. Between the 3 cameras there are subtle differences so once again it comes down to individual preferences. None the less I have a hard time telling anyone you have to have X brand or model of camera now days. You can get the job done with most any of them.
Yeah I agree about the canon lenses. I have a classic EOS R and the most annoying this about it is the current lens selection. The R lens catalogue is growing, but Canon not allowing 3rd parties (like Sigma) to make lenses is really frustrating for me. I miss having access to Sony’s lens selection
My journey closely mirrors yours, involving transitions between various camera models. The FX3 is a wise choice though. If only it incorporated internal ND filters the way the bulkier FX6 does, it would be as close to a perfect camera as there ever was. It packs so much into a small little box but you're of course right that the emphasis should be on what you shoot. I hear a lot of camera influencers who own RED Komodo Xs admitting that the RED Komodo X is an impractical choice and not at all functional in the way that an FX6 is but that it inspires them to go out and shoot which is a good thing. Even if that inspiration is grounded in a childhood dream of owning a RED, it doesn't matter because its getting them out and shooting more even if the large majority of consumers can't even tell the difference. I suppose you can call this brand loyalty but if a piece of a gear has that ability to inspire action and creativity then it is worth it but it doesn't mean that everyone has to think this way either. However you get to the point of creation seems worth it.
Yeah I would absolutely love to have an FX6. If money wasn’t a concern at all I would have an FX6 and an FX3 for sure. What camera did you end up with? What are you using now?
@@jakehayden998 I use the FX3. I probably would have gotten an FX6 if I had the money but I think I also think I would’ve regretted it because it is so bulky and obtrusive. I do like throwing my FX3 into a bag when I go out. I agree an FX3/FX6 combination would be amazing however I’m pretty happy with just the FX3. I’m waiting to see what Sony or Blackmagic release next. If the next iteration of the FX3 adds 6k and internal NDs for under $6000 then that might be it for me for a long time. Great videos man keep up the good work!
@@invisibleadversary Oh man, an FX3 with internal NDs would be a dream. My only complaints with the FX3 was the lack of NDs and not being able to control noise reduction. If they added those two things I would be ecstatic
@@jakehayden998 Totally. It's so close to "perfection" but I guess throwing internal NDs into the FX3 would totally destroy the market viability of the FX6 and I also hear that internal NDs would compromise IBIS which the FX3 does have and the FX6 doesn't. It would really makes sense to have both cameras but obviously that's a lot of money.
@@invisibleadversary that's it... you can't have internal NDs and IBIS, at least not yet, and certainly not in a body that small... bc lol yes ofc, if the next iteration had 6k and internal NDs then what would they do re the FX6 successor to make it a viable contender? so i'd imagine if they _could_ implement both in a small body they just wouldn't bring it out til the market demanded it. and they're selling cameras like crazy rn (my A cam's the FX3), so it just isn't plausible imo the fact that they're AUTO NDs, too... ugh, a dream come true.. total set-and-forget shooting, can focus on composition/etc... i'd think about getting one, even, if it weren't so far along in it's life cycle (at least, i hope it is.)
8.25 The opposite is true... we actually act like all the other brands matter, thats why we are constantly searching for the 'right' camera... as indicated in your journey from Canon T2i. haha.
ive found out that, listening to others opinions on cameras are kinda, dumb. i followed the trend from pretty early on, i got an a6600 and im on an s5iix and ngl, both suck compared to my favourite camera ive had, blackmagic 6k pro. Now im going back to blackmagic, probably keeping my s5iix as a b cam and photo camera, but i miss blackmagics menus, ease of use, internal raw
Hmm... I think it all comes down to the checkboxes that make one want to shoot. Fill the checkboxes, and then don't seek more. Seeking more is just G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)
Buy Canon if you hate money and hate new technology. Buy Sony if you want quality / newest tech fairly priced for your money, which will be outdated in ~2 years as they release the next version.
I actually agree to an extend. The only financial advantage to buying canon I've found is that they lose value really fast, especially the ones that are super overpriced at launch (most of them). The only reason I am on a C200 right now is because I bought it used for less 50% of the original price
If you accepting it with Canon cameras, that you only get a camerabody with a certain amount of technology for that amount of money, the camera will cost you, than you will be fine with canon, because you will not have wrong expectations. Less money/cheaper camerabody = cripplehammer. You get , what you are willing to pay for. If you don´t want to pay for a certain level of technology, you don´t want that technology hard enough. You don´t get an ARRi for an apple, why should you get premium Canon technology for an apple? If peoples can´t afford it, they doesn´t make enough money. The "better" camera will not change that. That peoples should better work on their skills, to be able to earn enough money. It´s simply like that. A better camera will only make it easier, but she will not replace missing skills from the user. If you can`t tell a story with a "cheap" camera, a better "picture quality" will not change that. The movie will just be trash with more pixels/dynamic range etc. . And a huge portion are skills in audio and lighting. An ARRI or a RED will not switch on the lights for you. Also not a Sony, a Canon or any other camera brand. Maybe it´s just me, but i get more and more the "impression", that (youtube) peoples seems only want to buy a camera with "low light capabilities", so they don´t have to buy and set up light equipment. Just the camera out of the bag, 2 hours "blockbuster" handheld done in one take (they don´t like a 30min recording limit) preferable in a dark colemine with just a candle as a lightsource (look, what my camera can do!), starring black cats as the main actors/actresses, back with the camera into the bag. No mentioning from tripods, sliders, jibs, light stands, light units, light shapers, computing power (workstation/laptop), software, etc. . They only talk, what the sensor and "raw" recording from their camera was able to do for them. And after every 2 months, they will "justify" on youtube, why they switch between camerabrands again, and why the new/other camera XYZ will make them better cinematographers...fully ignoring, that even netflix movies, made with expensive cameras, with an obscene budget behind that movies, can be trash... Oh, and my 2cents: the Canon C70 or the C300 MkIII (depending on the camerabody size, you want/need) would be a better choice as the C200. I wouldn´t buy a C200 now. You will sell that camera very soon again...there is a reason, why it is that cheap...
I would absolutely love a C70 and the C300 mk iii is dream camera of mine, but they are just way too expensive right now. I actually am very happy with my C200 and don’t plan on upgrading for a long time, I think it’s an awesome camera
@@jakehayden998 In my case, i did chose the Canon XF605 camcorder, to be able to do youtube videos. I wanted a all in one solution, because i know, that i would do really silly things, if i would "rig out" a camera with changeable lenses (C70). So it is some sort of an "restriction" and should be "enough" for the end products: 1080p MP4 videos. It did end with the Canon XF605, two Angelbird 512GB V90 SDXC cards, one NANO-C98 battery with Power Tap + USB, one 5.5" Desview touch screen monitor + E6 batterydummy with Power Tap cable (all will be powered by the NANO-C98 battery), one Sennheiser wireless XLR lavalier microphone set, and a Panasonic XLR shotgun microphone with a "dead cat", some HDMI cables, and a Manfrotto remote control. LOL! But you would cry night and day for months, if you would know the price for my new workstation (AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX processor, 128GB Ram, 48GB NVIDIA RTX A6000 graphic card, 1TB SSD, 4x 4TB HD). Sometimes, evil voices will force me to do silly things, lol! And it has nothing to do with Bethesta`s "Starfield"...i swear!
Now you don't even need a camera, you can obtain great photos with a flagship smartphone plus you even have a wide variety of filters, accesories and adapters for it.
T3i with kit lenses and a couple half charged batteries was the deadliest setup, miss those days 🥺
Shut up nerd.
legit i dusted my old t3i these days ago and took it to a shoot to throw in some "vintage" vibe footage in the edit and it turned out so good. inspired me to even try to use it again some time just for the heck of it

A GH5 is $600-$1000 used, and while it may or may not come with VLOG, you have Cinelike D. Investing in that, and either a 12-35 f2.8 or going for a Sigma 18-35 and 50-100 with a speedbooster (and take the lenses to a different camera system) is fine. In fact even just the 25mm f1.7 is fine. Use whatever is left on good lights.
Man, you make such excellent videos. What could have ended up another overproduced, flashy "you'll never believe what camera I chose" clickbait video instead told a wonderful story that I bought from beginning to end. Thank you.
Good video my dude, I haven’t seen one of those in a while
Thank you very much, I appreciate it
I'm still shooting on my canon 700d (T5i). which is due an upgrade. Since I've noticed a lot with it that I'm not happy about, no headphone jack, really shitty auto focus, no proper white balance control, and the 30 min time limit which is extremely annoying for interviews. I've tried the magic bullet camera hack so I have have those controls, and it made the camera really annoyingly slow. I love using the Canon C70 its one of my favourite cameras to use and I'm definitely buying one for my business. I love how the image looks, feels and rigs up. But choosing my next camera is going to be a hard choose for me. Since I'll be looking for features I've used on set.
Well said Jake, totally agree!
Beautiful speech, imaging and what a beautiful yard you have...
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
My favorite video you made
I was thinking about buying a better camera than my zv e10, but I think that I ll stay with it for now and learn to use it instead of upgrading.
And the ZV e10 is an excellent camera too, what kind of lenses do you use?
@@jakehayden998 I use a Tamron 17-70 f2.8 currently. As my main lens.
Totally relatable and I know that exact feeling ❤
Digital Rebel XT (350d) here!!
I miss the days when I ran around with 1 battery, my a6600, and 8bit footage. Don’t get me wrong, I love my current FX30 - but the simplicity of being with such small set ups was like a euphoria. Hopefully, I can get the same feeling again.
Great message. Thank you!
Am I a consumer or... hit a bit hard because I'm in the middle of an update from my old Canon 5D mark iii and Blackmagic Cinema pocket camera with speed booster and a lot of add-ons from SmallRig among others. Before all that I came from Sony. But I am not a cameraman as a starting point, but a motion graphics designer who also films and takes photos or makes stop motion recordings plus VFX. Should I now sell all my EF glass and switch platforms to a Sony FX6 with an internal ND filter and great sound outputs, but which cannot take photos? Or a Panasonic Lumix S1H?... I was in doubt for a long time..
I ended up with a Canon EOS R5C hybrid, - I've used it almost every day since I got it, but in the update I feel like you're entering a gold rush. because you also know what you need to make it work for what you want to do and you feel like more of a consumer and not someone who goes out and films. It's not the brand that sells for me, but how it fits into my work flow - I'm not going out to do a documentary or a wedding (although that can easily be done with this Canon camera) It has to meet my needs and then some. I'll have to go out and film now - thanks for the upload. 🥳😊
Spot on!!!
Ended up being awesome life advice
We're at a strange point where there's no limit to tech but still find ourselves stuck for some reason. Even when you go as far as going to Mars for example, "we" already have the tech to do it but the bottleneck is the limitations of being a human. It's crazy.
Damn I did the exact same camera progression as you! Only difference is after my a7iii I upgraded to the a7s3. Loved this video 🙏🏻
Thanks, I appreciate that. Are you still using the A7s3? What lenses are you using?
You definitely had G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). You can easily shoot on any camera. For example Documentaries: Nobody cares about the camera. It only comes down to the story and solid audio. In the end you remember great composition and a story that touched you emotionally, that's all.
Damn, I started on a vx1000. For photography I started on an Nikon fm2, then a d700 for like 10 years…I think I’m old
You still using the d700?
love the video
very refreshing coming from a youtube shopping dark rabbit hole
got an XT4 - started shooting weddings after being made redundent - i am getting twisted with how it is hard to change frame rates not having shutter angle or NDs ( I really hate VNDs) though this video made me a bit sad and editing the Fuji footage you kind of dont think or care though the c200 seems to tick all the boxes and i think I am gonna take the plunge.
Great video
Thanks!
lol “Shot on C200” 😂 got ‘em!!
Soooo….. why don’t you like Canon? Isn’t that the title of this video?
I’m still trying to figure out why he doesn’t like Canon lol
8:52 well said.
THANKS❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I'll admit every brand makes perfectly adequate cameras. Then it comes down to preference and what you need.
For a long time I've felt like a general rule is the most true to what you see with your own eyes images come mostly out of Canon and Nikon cameras. Photo and video. Most other brands generally aren't as sharp and have some degree of color shift. Often that can be compensated for with lots and color grading but not always. Let's face it most people don't use that image straight out of the camera anyway. It's always altered and degraded to make it less true to life and more "cinematic".
Sony while it's picture may not be as wysiwyg, they tend to pack more features in their cameras at similar price points. More recently I've been leaning more towards Sony myself for that reason.
I've been a big Canon fan going back to the film days for photos. When the t3i came out it was literally the best bang for your buck prosumer camera for both photos and videos. I was hooked.
Canon made me really angry as they moved to the mirrorless realm. The problem was glass. I had all these EF and EFS lenses and they brought out M-mount then R-mount. There is no reason they couldn't put EF mount natively on mirrorless cameras. Sure there are adapters and speedboosters but the traditionally add more distortion to the image. They still haven't brought out enough R-mount lenses to match my existing lenses and M-mount has been abandoned. I really feel like anyone that bought M series cameras really got screwed over.
I figured if I'm replacing glass anyway I might as well look at other brands. I almost went down the Panasonic route with the GH5 then Sony released the A series. The A7siii has just been a great jack of all trades camera. The FX30 and the ZV-E1 are in that same realm. Sure you can probably find other cameras that handle individual functions and features better but few cameras have them all as well and at similar price points. Between the 3 cameras there are subtle differences so once again it comes down to individual preferences.
None the less I have a hard time telling anyone you have to have X brand or model of camera now days. You can get the job done with most any of them.
Yeah I agree about the canon lenses. I have a classic EOS R and the most annoying this about it is the current lens selection. The R lens catalogue is growing, but Canon not allowing 3rd parties (like Sigma) to make lenses is really frustrating for me. I miss having access to Sony’s lens selection
My journey closely mirrors yours, involving transitions between various camera models. The FX3 is a wise choice though. If only it incorporated internal ND filters the way the bulkier FX6 does, it would be as close to a perfect camera as there ever was. It packs so much into a small little box but you're of course right that the emphasis should be on what you shoot. I hear a lot of camera influencers who own RED Komodo Xs admitting that the RED Komodo X is an impractical choice and not at all functional in the way that an FX6 is but that it inspires them to go out and shoot which is a good thing. Even if that inspiration is grounded in a childhood dream of owning a RED, it doesn't matter because its getting them out and shooting more even if the large majority of consumers can't even tell the difference. I suppose you can call this brand loyalty but if a piece of a gear has that ability to inspire action and creativity then it is worth it but it doesn't mean that everyone has to think this way either. However you get to the point of creation seems worth it.
Yeah I would absolutely love to have an FX6. If money wasn’t a concern at all I would have an FX6 and an FX3 for sure. What camera did you end up with? What are you using now?
@@jakehayden998 I use the FX3. I probably would have gotten an FX6 if I had the money but I think I also think I would’ve regretted it because it is so bulky and obtrusive. I do like throwing my FX3 into a bag when I go out. I agree an FX3/FX6 combination would be amazing however I’m pretty happy with just the FX3. I’m waiting to see what Sony or Blackmagic release next. If the next iteration of the FX3 adds 6k and internal NDs for under $6000 then that might be it for me for a long time. Great videos man keep up the good work!
@@invisibleadversary Oh man, an FX3 with internal NDs would be a dream. My only complaints with the FX3 was the lack of NDs and not being able to control noise reduction. If they added those two things I would be ecstatic
@@jakehayden998 Totally. It's so close to "perfection" but I guess throwing internal NDs into the FX3 would totally destroy the market viability of the FX6 and I also hear that internal NDs would compromise IBIS which the FX3 does have and the FX6 doesn't. It would really makes sense to have both cameras but obviously that's a lot of money.
@@invisibleadversary that's it... you can't have internal NDs and IBIS, at least not yet, and certainly not in a body that small... bc lol yes ofc, if the next iteration had 6k and internal NDs then what would they do re the FX6 successor to make it a viable contender? so i'd imagine if they _could_ implement both in a small body they just wouldn't bring it out til the market demanded it. and they're selling cameras like crazy rn (my A cam's the FX3), so it just isn't plausible imo
the fact that they're AUTO NDs, too... ugh, a dream come true.. total set-and-forget shooting, can focus on composition/etc... i'd think about getting one, even, if it weren't so far along in it's life cycle (at least, i hope it is.)
8.25 The opposite is true... we actually act like all the other brands matter, thats why we are constantly searching for the 'right' camera... as indicated in your journey from Canon T2i. haha.
This was really funny
The GH5 is what I used to start my career and the color science was not inspiring
I love my canon cameras... and my red cameras too.... oh and my fuji mf cameras... also my hasselblads
ive found out that, listening to others opinions on cameras are kinda, dumb. i followed the trend from pretty early on, i got an a6600 and im on an s5iix and ngl, both suck compared to my favourite camera ive had, blackmagic 6k pro. Now im going back to blackmagic, probably keeping my s5iix as a b cam and photo camera, but i miss blackmagics menus, ease of use, internal raw
Hmm... I think it all comes down to the checkboxes that make one want to shoot. Fill the checkboxes, and then don't seek more. Seeking more is just G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)
I will definitely be battling this for as long as I’m in filmmaking. It’s hard to not drool over all the new cameras being announced all the time
awesome, amazing. im like this dude, i need the best tool for me!!!
Shot on a Canon C200, only confirms that I want a C200 LOL
I owe Canon an apology
Canon just told me that they didn't like you though? 😅
T2I here 😊
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
Nice script, but: the focus was on the chair, not the person; and the footage, well, can't say I am a fan, it really doesn't look great.
DON'T BE A TURKEY...
Bro literally reminds me of hugie from the boys lol
I have actually been told that many times before lol
Buy Canon if you hate money and hate new technology.
Buy Sony if you want quality / newest tech fairly priced for your money, which will be outdated in ~2 years as they release the next version.
I actually agree to an extend. The only financial advantage to buying canon I've found is that they lose value really fast, especially the ones that are super overpriced at launch (most of them). The only reason I am on a C200 right now is because I bought it used for less 50% of the original price
If you accepting it with Canon cameras, that you only get a camerabody with a certain amount of technology for that amount of money, the camera will cost you, than you will be fine with canon, because you will not have wrong expectations. Less money/cheaper camerabody = cripplehammer. You get , what you are willing to pay for. If you don´t want to pay for a certain level of technology, you don´t want that technology hard enough. You don´t get an ARRi for an apple, why should you get premium Canon technology for an apple?
If peoples can´t afford it, they doesn´t make enough money. The "better" camera will not change that. That peoples should better work on their skills, to be able to earn enough money. It´s simply like that.
A better camera will only make it easier, but she will not replace missing skills from the user.
If you can`t tell a story with a "cheap" camera, a better "picture quality" will not change that. The movie will just be trash with more pixels/dynamic range etc. .
And a huge portion are skills in audio and lighting. An ARRI or a RED will not switch on the lights for you. Also not a Sony, a Canon or any other camera brand.
Maybe it´s just me, but i get more and more the "impression", that (youtube) peoples seems only want to buy a camera with "low light capabilities", so they don´t have to buy and set up light equipment. Just the camera out of the bag, 2 hours "blockbuster" handheld done in one take (they don´t like a 30min recording limit) preferable in a dark colemine with just a candle as a lightsource (look, what my camera can do!), starring black cats as the main actors/actresses, back with the camera into the bag. No mentioning from tripods, sliders, jibs, light stands, light units, light shapers, computing power (workstation/laptop), software, etc. . They only talk, what the sensor and "raw" recording from their camera was able to do for them.
And after every 2 months, they will "justify" on youtube, why they switch between camerabrands again, and why the new/other camera XYZ will make them better cinematographers...fully ignoring, that even netflix movies, made with expensive cameras, with an obscene budget behind that movies, can be trash...
Oh, and my 2cents: the Canon C70 or the C300 MkIII (depending on the camerabody size, you want/need) would be a better choice as the C200. I wouldn´t buy a C200 now. You will sell that camera very soon again...there is a reason, why it is that cheap...
I would absolutely love a C70 and the C300 mk iii is dream camera of mine, but they are just way too expensive right now. I actually am very happy with my C200 and don’t plan on upgrading for a long time, I think it’s an awesome camera
@@jakehayden998 In my case, i did chose the Canon XF605 camcorder, to be able to do youtube videos. I wanted a all in one solution, because i know, that i would do really silly things, if i would "rig out" a camera with changeable lenses (C70). So it is some sort of an "restriction" and should be "enough" for the end products: 1080p MP4 videos.
It did end with the Canon XF605, two Angelbird 512GB V90 SDXC cards, one NANO-C98 battery with Power Tap + USB, one 5.5" Desview touch screen monitor + E6 batterydummy with Power Tap cable (all will be powered by the NANO-C98 battery), one Sennheiser wireless XLR lavalier microphone set, and a Panasonic XLR shotgun microphone with a "dead cat", some HDMI cables, and a Manfrotto remote control. LOL!
But you would cry night and day for months, if you would know the price for my new workstation (AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5995WX processor, 128GB Ram, 48GB NVIDIA RTX A6000 graphic card, 1TB SSD, 4x 4TB HD). Sometimes, evil voices will force me to do silly things, lol! And it has nothing to do with Bethesta`s "Starfield"...i swear!
Now you don't even need a camera, you can obtain great photos with a flagship smartphone plus you even have a wide variety of filters, accesories and adapters for it.
Yeah the smartphone space is definitely growing quickly. I’d like to make a video someday about smartphone filmmaking
yes and no when you have used cinema gear a phone comes no where near especially graded it falls apart.
😂
He's gonna buy a canon c70
Don’t be a turkey.
Turkey here, it seems like you’re still stuck in phase 1. Just wait until you get to phase 2, the cine glass phase. Mu ha ha ha ha ha ha
