That's all very organised David, I think if anyone looked in one of my camera bags they'd ask "why on earth are you carrying that???", to which I would have no logical explanation other than I just hadn't got round to removing it yet!!!
Oh there is genuine chaos at times, especially in the work bag since I've been doing more video. Once I get started with cables and chargers it can soon descend into madness 😂 Thanks for watching, Tim. I'll check out your Nikon EM video in a minute since I've somehow managed to find myself with a day off 🖖😁
Another great video! I recently added an EM1 MKII to my collection and I'm very impressed with the results that I've been getting with it. If I can make a recommendation, I'd suggest getting a Minolta MD to M43 adapter and grabbing a used Minolta 50mm F/2 Rokkor-X PF. It's a fun, fully manual vintage lens that produces some beautiful color in the images and it's not that expensive.
Unfortunately photography/videography isn't cheap and depending on what and how you want to shoot you may need very specific things. If you're just getting started and already have a phone, I'd suggest using that and with the budget you have, look at buying things like a decent microphone, perhaps a phone gimbal or filters. All of these things will improve the look and sound of any phone video you make. As for photos, with practice you can make good pictures with pretty much any camera (as I have hopefully shown on this channel), even a phone. Speaking from a lot of experience, "better" gear doesn't make your work better, improving your skills does, so just make photos and videos with what you have and build your skillset🖖
It's great watching how many accessories you have. That small tripod is something I'd like to get. I have a big one and I don't use it. I'm trying to go the opposite way lately. Some time ago I traveled with a backpack for my photo gear, now I'm searching a small bag just to protect my OM-5 and maybe carrying a lens or two. Btw, get me a lemon-strawberry ice cream 😂
It’s always fun to see what in someone’s camera bag and I also have three camera bags so now I don’t feel bad about. Packing light for my time away over Christmas holiday the micro four thirds camera,two lenses, flash and also my older canon g15 with a flash . People don’t understand my need for so much gear and grow impatient so sometimes I small one lens versatile camera is all they will tolerate and it’s still better than my no option phone 🙄🙄😒🤣🤐.
Absolutely love the Canon G10 and will take that any day over a phone. My policy with gear is to go as minimal as possible and then chuck in an extra lens or two for good luck 😂 Thanks for watching 🖖
Dear David, I am using E-M10 mark iii and thinking about buying ex used E-M10 mark iii because I failed taking sharp/focused pictures of people doing sports I beliave that E-M5 mark iii has way superior autofocus systems than the E-M10 mark iii On the other hand, I'm also considering buying other camera which has already known for its good autofocus systems (Sony a6000 or Sony a6400). However, I think that there might be something I can learn more about my existing camera, for me to actually take focused/sharp pictures without having buying more capable camera. Yes, I am actualy only a very casual on photography, know only few basic things about photography, camera settings, and techniques. So I am sure that there are sooo many things to learn on my camera and the technique to get pictures as I wanted it to be. As much more expert and experienced photographer, do you think E-M10 mark iii can take sharp/focused pictures of people doing sports?
Hey, thanks for watching. The EM10 mkiii relies on a contrast detect auto focus system which is fantastic for still subjects but less so for fast moving ones like in sports. I can highly recommend the EM1 mkii for sports due to its phase detection AF, very high burst rates and incredible image stabilisation and this will allow you to use any micro 4/3 lenses you already have. I used Sony apsc cameras for a few years and while they produce great image quality, they lack things like the ibis system which is very helpful for sports. I hope this was helpful. Take care🖖
@DavidFlowerOfficial First, I am sorry for my typo, it should be I am thinking about buying an ex used E-M5 mark iii.... And thanks for your answer, so basically I have to look for something that use phase detection to get faster autofocus...Which is already there in the E-M1 mk ii..... Yes, I am considering between E-M1 mk ii and E-M5 mk iii, but currently I tend to give more weight to the E-M5 mk iii because it is about 3 years newer. I'm assuming that there are some more modern features that I can take benefit from the E-M5 mk iii sometimes in the future. Please give some suggestions.
After the v3.0 firmware update, the EM1 mkii was essentially a new camera bringing elements from the EM1x like improvements to auto focus and ibis. If only for the more substantial grip (I still believe the EM1 mkii has the best ergonomics of any camera I've used) and better battery life I'd choose the EM1 mkii over the EM5 mkiii since they have similar sensor and image processor, so the images will be virtually identical. Another bonus, at least here in the UK, is that the EM1 mkii is on average quite a bit cheaper than the EM5 mkiii on the used market.

I'm glad there's at least a tiny bit of chaos going on in there, makes the contents of my bags seem a bit more reasonable....

Please can u suggest a good camera and a suitable lens for both videography and photography under 350 dollars
Hope you will see this

@DavidFlowerOfficial "Appreciate the advice! You're right, it’s probably better to work on skills first.
It's great watching how many accessories you have. That small tripod is something I'd like to get. I have a big one and I don't use it. I'm trying to go the opposite way lately.

That tripod is just a cheap thing from Amazon but it's so useful. As for the ice cream guy, he's a menace 😂
Hey David, really love your channel for creativity, esthetics, how instrumental and fun your videos are. Cheers!
Thanks for watching! I'm happy you enjoy the videos🖖

I thought it was interesting 🤔... As a non professional
