Now I know many are gonna say things like "post a link to where I can by camera x for y amount of dollars".
To all those I say now, No.
Life is to short for me to do the work for you when I had to do it myself.
If I see a good deal and post it here the camera is sold within 5 seconds and I have to look for another.
So there is no point, you have to do the leg work.

I'm not even in the market for a new camera; I just watched because I love the mood of your videos.
Thanks for watching :)
TJ Smith Same here
Same homie
Your dog is the official standard for exposure and sharpness tests..nice work
Her shadow is "absolute black."
Every camera/gadget that you review always looks good..not like most reviewers that looking for the weaknesses, your reviews lead us to empower every aspect, maximise the potential and forgive the weakness of the camera..very inspiring..youtube needs more reviewer like you
That's one lovely comment, thank you! :)
Words of wisdom right there! Still very true.
WOW, you were already my favorite UA-camr but after that Leica T story man, your just number 1 in my book. Very stand up, honest and selfless. Many blessings to you Mattias.
What you did to return the camera is very, very admirable!
SahanTheMighty WW
Agreed! That earned a sub from me right away! The world needs more people like Mattias
I just subscribed due to that fact too.
I agree.
I just wonder if there wasn't a way to get your money back from eBay.
Well done for returning the camera. We need more people like you in this odd world.
Absolutely magnificent video, Matthias. In these days of shallow and heated debates, fanboish arguments and show offs about autofocus, your videos are a breath of fresh air, showing what magnificent things can be done with lesser features. Big thumbs up!
Thank you my friend!
Brilliantly said, wholeheartedly agree - "a breath of fresh air" is a perfect description of how different and excellent this channel is.
Videos worth waiting for! Really nice. Great respect to you for returning that Leica.
I found your channel while researching Fuji cameras and I’m so thankful I did. Your videos have such a wonderful demeanor and charm that I click on them without thinking about it, not something i can say for very many channels. Wonderful story about you returning that mans Leica as well. Thank you for such beautiful videos!!
I like all your videos but this one more than the others. Sending the stolen camera back to his owner is the kind of things I appreciate and cherish and you made my day. I hope life sends you another one in return you deserve it
Mad respect for you Mattias, hands down you're one of the best photography channels and its so nice to know is run by such a great human.
Man! I always get amazed with your videos. The way you show the colors and even the contrast of the black and white inspires me. For last, the music, always fit. Thank you for sharing your pictures. Daniel, from Brazil.
I have never said this to anyone but you... your channel is underrated! Thank you for the great informational videos and you are an amazing person for giving the camera back.
Mattias, I love your videos, your choice of music, your photography and of course Gunpowder. Over recent months you've inspired me to dive into the world of classic lenses and I find I'm enjoying photography more than ever - thank you!
You got my subscription for giving that Leica back.
The world needs more of your kind!
Stolen Camera Finder is the biggest win for me on this one. I did not know such a thing existed. I bought most of my cameras used.
Love that you gave back someones stolen goods.
Much respect easy follow just for that act of kindness.
I absolutely loved the vibe of this video, and excellent job returning that camera to his owner. So much respect!
the endings to your videos are always perfect
i remember watching your lumia camera review for the first time. For smartphone camera review it was really good, detailed and well explained. Sometimes it feels like im watching documentary. I mean your video editing and your voice really matches and it really calms me down for some reason. Keep up the good work my good man.
must be so hard letting go of something that you've fallen in love with but it's the best and admirable decision you've made. love your content :)
Hi, it was very awesome of you to double check with the camera if it was stolen good or not. I'm sure for any camera or photographer lovers there is nothing more devastating than losing a beloved camera.
Man I admire and respect you even more now, that kind of honesty is a lost quality nowadays, thanks for mentioning my beloved EOS M which I bought inspired by you, sucks in auto focus but good lighting and lenses make it as good as any other 18 mp /1080p canon camera and colors are amazing, all other cameras you mentioned are quite nice I don't know if I would like a MFT camera, thanks Matías 👍👍👌✋
You are my favourite photographer.
Your videos are so much fun to watch and that short story about your history with the Leica T was truly inspirational.
I have also decided on my next camera purchase thanks to you! Soon I will be the proud owner of a Fujifilm X70. Thank you for reviewing it.
Keep up the amazing work Mattias :)
I will try :)
this episode is a life lessons
thanks Matthias
you are a full of love person
That's a lot of good karma right there. You're a good man. :-)
Agreed, a very good guy.
8ulls3y3 just about to comment on how good of a man he was but you beat me to it
Yeah, totally! Fair play Mattias!
Your videos are equal parts atmospheric and informative--that's why I love them. Love your dog, too. Also--you have a good eye for photography. But I am pointing out the obvious.
I absolutely thank you for this video. It's the reason why I decided to buy the Leica T which is probably the best decision in my whole photography-live. I bought it from an trusted reseller for Leica and got it for an fantastic price.
+paulinvideo Cool, yeah I love that camera alot :)
Much respect to you for handing the camera back to its original owner!
You are such a great human! You deserve much more recognition. I am huge fan of your photography and videos!
Very nice of you to say!
I have been following Mattias for some time now and hard to believe only 62K subscribers when it should be easily 620K with a quality of videos in his work.
I have the T and it is a wonderful camera to use. I wish I could afford the 35mm Summilux as the combination is simply stunning!. You are a true gentlemen for giving your T back and I hope you get the chance to get another down the road, it is truly worth every penny
Also thank you for being so honest with your Leica purchase. You are an admirable person.
I like how your photography channel shows photographs... truly though. So many people talk about gear without showing how they'd use it. Great content! I'm a huge fan!
You have THE best photography channel. Really like your style. This is a great video.
The makes me very happy to hear :)
Hope you will enjoy my next video as well. Im uploading as we speak.
Dude you are a champ for returning that camera!!
That was very honest of you sir! And your videos are great, informative and entertaining.
As usual, a fine, informative and relaxing video.
Loved all the music!
Nice video as always and good on yah for returning that camera! Well done.
And, it's always a pleasure to see Gunpowder. I feel like I know her already. Lol!
Very glad to see the E-P5 getting the respect it deserves, in particular for the sublime ergonomics. If only they found a way to shoehorn a built-in viewfinder into the body like the PEN-F, it would have been close to perfect.
+Humza Ahmad A tilt screen instead of fully articulated on the Pen-F plus the same build quality as the ep5 and it would have been a monster.
Every shot you make is like a dream...
Thanks to you for returning the stolen camera to the owner.
I have lost several cameras to theft, and it really hurts.
I impulsed bought the eos m in 2013 when it went on sale for $300, by that time a firmware update was available and "fixed" the auto focus but barely. still use it today with the 22mm. this camera started me out on photography and taught me how to take my time with shooting because it didn't have a lot of features and the af was so unreliable. I mainly shoot Sony now, and when I switch back from time to time it's like shooting in the stone ages. it's still super fun to shoot with because i installed magic lantern and a nice compact time lapse camera.
The Leica T is soooo underrated! I love it so much. I use it for my photography and UA-cam videos. ....downside is there is no built in mic input.
I really enjoy your videos Mattias. Thank you.
I love your videos and wish you uploaded more frequently :)
Thumbs up for your decision for returning the Leica to its original owner.
You are one of few - I really enjoy your videos. Great inspiration...thanks...
Thanks to this video I now have both the Olympus EP-5 and the Panasonic GX7. The EP5 feels like a top-top-quality-premium product, but the GX7 feels so much better in my (large) hands, and I much prefer using it - despite the EVF being a bit rubbish (imho), and certainly not in the same league as the excellent VF2 that I use on the Olympus. Overall I'm very happy with both cameras, so thanks Mattias!
Glad to hear :)
Felt nice to see Fristadstorget Eskilstuna in one of the shots!
The shots from that Olympus Pen really stood out to me.
Nice list. I just bought the Olympus 17mm F1.8 for my GH5 and OMG I love it. I also own the 45 F1.8 which I love too. the 17 and 45 are my photo kit now :)
Yeah they go great together. perfect size for the jacket pocket and great lengths for the format.
I completely agree with you, mft system is the most underrated system today. btw love my gx85 and g85
Good day Mattias, I'm dipa from Indonesia.
I've always using your perspective about taking picture, which image quality is the first priority rather than the features and the camera age. Which is cool.
If you don't mind, I'd like to asking your opinion regarding my plan to buy my first camera.
I have several option which quite meet my budget, such as :
- Olympus Stylus XZ2
- Lumix GX1 + 20mm f1.7
- Fujifilm X70
- Ricoh GR II
My objectives on using camera is for daily use as a hobby and traveling, so i have some key points that i hope will be embrace by its camera, those are :
- sharpness
- detail
- color (i do like your color preference)
- portability
Thank you in advance
Kind Regards
Salute to your attitude!
You earned a new subscriber! Great work indeed man! Much appreciated! :)
Good man! Always wanted a Leica T but couldn’t afford. Great spirits in this vid. Cheers mate!
Hi Mattias, thanks for the video! For full frame I can highly recommend the Canon RP. You can adapt so much lenses on this camera. Feel free to ask if you have questions about this camera! Best wishes, Ralf
I really admire that you gave the camera back, good job :)
You are wonderful. Please receive this little piece of goodness for your soul.
I love this review! I bought a Sony RX10 M3 in November and I was kinda looking for a new smaller camera for stills. The RX 10 M3 is great but its very bulky. I was looking for something more compact for stills and this video was a good one for me too look at. I am not looking to break the bank like I did with the RX so this helped a lot!
Yeah there are a lot of affordable cameras if one just buys one or two generations old.
They are still very modern and usually there just a little thing or two separating each generation.
Mattias Burling Yeah I am for sure going to look into it! Thank you!
Another good bargain camera is the Samsung NX30. Fully articulating touch screen, pull out and tilting EVF, microphone input jack, APS-C sensor, etc.
i love your dog, its so cute! can´t get enough of him.
4:00 Wow. That is a beautiful frame and style
Wow! I really enjoy your work. That was incredibly a beautiful humane thing you did!
Love the stolen camera story made me feel proud, to be a fellow human being love ya
What a wonderful video and story. You’re a good man 👍
Awesome dude! Nice move returning the camera.
Wow. A talented person and with a brilliant heart. I adore you.
Very nice review and accompanying story at the end.
bravo for ur content and honesty
"Easy to use, hard to forget" is also the motto of the martial art, Krav Maga!
See, I do come back and re-watch your videos. Often, I notice something new.
I liked the Leica T the first time, when it was the Samsung NX1100.
I'm glad to see you still making videos.
The T is a Leica built from the ground up. There is nothing like it.
Samsung is no more in the camera business... its a shame but it doesn't end there imo. More companies will go down. Not even Panasony is safe.
The market is in no way big enough for all these systems and brands.
The shot at 3:58 of the building is achingly beautiful. I can't get my head around it.
I found a Sony Video Camera, at the time over GBP 1500, by Chester Racecourse in the mid ~90`s! It had been left at the tour bus stop under a Bench. Like you I handed it in to the Nearby Metropolitan Police Station.
After some months I enquired if the Kit had been reunited with its owner, which indeed it had, Someone from the south of the UK. They hadn`t even left a thank you note or phoned to say thanks! Germans are nicer people than English! (Maybe you`re not German) Dutch then?
Your sound Is very wonderful I fill soo relaxed when I watch your video the music is top nach
You are good person bring happy to stranger
You are just way too awesome!
Buster475 iii
Wow. Never thought about buying a camera and then findingout that it was stolen :(
Sir ive been following your videos because for me you combine the best of commentary / film quality/ very soothing voice / GUNPOWDER! In one, not to mention the appropriate background music! The photos are PERFECT! i wonder if you hold various photography lectures ? I will be more than willing to meet you in person and learn from you.
I have a question, though sir. You had me with the x70. And im 70% sure im getting it. But aside from it, is there another compact camera that you would consider? Or simply put, among all the pther compact cameras you have reviewed what is the best?
Thank you and more more more youtube videos plsssssss.
Thank you for the kind words!
The closest compact competitor to the X70 is the Ricoh GR from my latest video. Choosing between the two isnt exactly easy.
I am very afraid with Mattias burling videos, his video has the potential to inflate the price of old gears😂😂😂
Mattias you are a good man.
Love the piece! Love your values!
Also a suggestion could be Fuji x-pro 1.. it can be found for about 300$ new and the auto focus issue is for some reason very improved in later models, after 2014.
Alexis Stamatopoulos It has the same AF in earlier models as well. Just update the firmware.
Some people said that its extra improved in later models combined with the latest firmware 3.7 and suggested that Fuji may have implemented better AF in them.. i have a new model(2015) and its fast and i had no issues with it. But It could be also another internet nonsense
Alexis Stamatopoulos I'm gonna go with internet nonsense.
What exactly drove you nuts with the G7? Great review and I really like your choice of music and that you list the source. Bravo!
There is a sleep mode for the display thats not possible to turn off. So every now and then you press record and nothing happens. Missing shots is always is to annoying imo.
How about a GX85 review? You have some of the best reviews!
+Mattias Burling the Leica T is the one that got away and that's why you like it so much...
I was pretty in love before that. I will definitely buy one again in a year or so.
Leica T or TL? seems to be similar enough so it would just be a decision which is better priced.
Think I will stick to the T. Its pretty cheap these days on the used market.
Hello Mattias! Can you do a ''Top 5 Hybrid Cameras'' video? I was searching for the best photo/video cameras lately and i think your insight on this would be very helpful.
Did you say that you don't like the flip out screen but do like the tilting screen? If so, me too :) I can't get into that for still. This is why I like the Axxx line of cameras from Sony and why I am using an Olympus em10 mark 2 which has the same type of compact "footprint".
Yeah I think its way better. Super annoying to have it on the side making the camera twice as wide. And there are plenty of tilt screens that also can be flipped up or down for selfies, etc. So I really don't see the point for fully articulating other than on video centered cameras.
amazing gesture to return that stolen camera.
Wow, respect to you man
forgive me, i have played the part of the leica t, with the minolta 50mm lens over and over but cannot, simply cannot, grasp what you are saying. what was the process of getting that lens on to that camera, please? love your stuff.
I used an adapter :)
Damn, Mattias, you are one nice guy, would love to be your friend. I've learned a lot from your videos.
Excellent review.
I must watch more by this reviewer
OMG that music, if someone else knew what i was talking about
You should try the Lumix G6, its a great affordable camera you might like.
02:37 that's a one in a million! :-D Haha, soooo cool! You have tons of cool street photos, and I go to town and often come back with not a single one.... Maybe it's the place I live... :-)
This video made me smile
7:31 Pure Love.
