    Fujifilm, let Gavin keep the camera. His happiness oozing from every video not only promotes your cameras but significantly uplifts the mental health of all who watch in these difficult times....you would literally be saving the world. Oh, and while your at it send me a GFX100 too.....and a few lenses.

    Gavin - you make me smile every single time. Yours is far and away my favourite channel on UA-cam, and Amanda is just so damn adorable. And the thing that makes your videos such a compelling watch is you're actually an incredible photographer. My three prints just arrived on Friday, and I feel so privileged to have them. They're getting framed on going on the wall.
    As for the GFX, Fulifilm would be mad not to let you keep the bloody camera. They'll never find a better, more engaging ambassador for their products than you. How the hell can they lose?
    Love your work.

    Dear Fuji, while Gavin only has 68k subscribers, most of us live on his every word. As an example, 19K of us got engaged right after his engagement video aired. I have noticed about 22k Sony A7M4s recently hit eBay for sale, no doubt on the assumption Gavin is keeping the Fuji camera and we all will soon be joining him with a Fuji purchase once our gear is successfully sold. If you are not persuaded by pure economics, consider the heavier camera he will be schlepping will help him get into better shape. You may actually be helping save a life. You cannot put a price or profit analysis on that. #savehardcastleslife #smallbutmightyfollowers #iwant1too

    Gavin, definitely one of your better videos of the past few months. Drop dead gorgeous Canadian scenery, mixed in with a little comedy, and even a mini review of the Fuji camera (c'mon Fuji at least give Gavin an extended loan of the gear...do you see the images he's making with your gear...what a spokesman for Fuji)!
    When you were pointing out the view from Brent's higher shooting location, am I correct...is there a viewing platform up there on the top of the Beehive as I saw a roofed structure of some sort?
    With all these beautiful locations Mr. Brent Henderson finds, I think he needs to stop being a personal trainer and do photo trip leading (of course with you, Gavin, leading the group).😉
    Wonderful images Gavin of Lake Agnes! ♥

    The only thing Fujifilm could do that would be more appropriate than letting you keep the GFX 100S would be if they just randomly selected a subscriber on this channel who actually made that suggestion to also get one, along with a couple of lenses. Just saying.
    Being a birder, I thought I'd let you know that your avian model was a Steller's Jay, not a Blue Jay. The sandwich thief is a Clark's Nutcracker. But its rude behavior should earn it the new name "Gavin's Ballbuster".

    So many things to comment on here this time Gavin... first, stunning location this time. The traffic jam and unbelievable amount of people there was both wonderful and awful at the same time. So many places in our area have been trampled and to me, ruined by so many people going into the outdoors. It appears, the that commercialism has driven some of this. There are no good answer when it comes to how to manage it all unfortunately but it's still heart breaking to see what damage people an do to our wild areas.
    The video, as always was perfect combo of humor, discussions of your approach to shooting the and technical challenges of taking images from that day. The ending was absolutely hilarious, that little girl deserves an Oscar. Brent is a great addition to your vlogs with his dead pan looks at you some times and the skits he's been in with you as well.
    Last but not least, that Fuji GFS100s is a stunning piece of technology and produces wonderful images. It's one of those cameras, just by using it, seems to give photographers super powers when creating image. At approximately $15,000US to get a decent set up though, puts it out of most non professional, and some pros too, price ranges for that equipment. How would most people justify that cost is beyond me. I do hope that Fuji can put that camera and lenses you have used on permanent loan to you so you can keep using it and not have to fork out all that dough.
    See you again real soon...
    Cheers,
    Rob
