Framing is definitely the biggest factor when it comes to a professional vs an amateur. Being able to frame your subjects to make it so much more interesting is really challenging.
Amatures focus on a particular part of the frame. Something they see as interesting. But they get tunnel visioned and forget to see it juxtaposed with the rest of the frame. Pros understand how to use the whole frame. To balance the light and dark, guide the viewers attention with purose. Amatures generally are good at the technical side, but are still honing the "tell a story" skill.
This was an excellent "Amateur vs Pro" competition because Mike's camera was truly amateur and Jess was not hindered by the camera being "too much". I seem to be alone on an island, but I think Jess won easily. Mike's pictures were basically the snapshots that camera is designed to take. Jess took advantage of the lens to find interesting angles. The picture with the clouds reflecting in the car door [14:55] is my favorites.
Agreed. She easily won as she took the advantage and nailed it. They both seem to agree when they were watching the pics later on. Nonetheless, awesome vid! Yes, gear matters if you know how to use it.
I absolutely love the idea behind this video! It’s such a creative way to highlight one of the biggest debates in photography: **how much do skills matter compared to gear?** I think this experiment really drives home the point that while gear plays a role, **it’s the person behind the lens who truly makes a photograph special**. The Power of Skill The most inspiring takeaway from this video is how much skill and experience can overcome even the biggest technical limitations. Seeing a professional photographer work magic with a 1MP Casio EXM1 was a great reminder that photography is about so much more than just resolution or megapixels. Skills like: - Understanding light: Knowing how to work with natural light or position your subject creatively is invaluable, regardless of the camera you’re using. - Composition: Framing a shot in a compelling way can make even a simple setup feel artistic and intentional. - Adapting to limitations: A pro can see a challenge, like the constraints of a 1MP camera, and turn it into an opportunity to be creative and resourceful. It’s not about having the latest or most expensive gear-it’s about knowing how to make the most of what you’ve got. That’s such an empowering message for anyone starting out in photography! The Role of Gear That said, I also think this video subtly shows how modern cameras like the Sony A7 Mark V can make photography more accessible. For someone just starting, having features like advanced autofocus, better low-light performance, and high resolution means they can focus more on creativity and less on the technical side of things. In a way, modern cameras are tools that help bridge the gap for beginners, giving them the confidence to experiment and grow their skills. What’s really cool about this video is how it highlights that gear isn’t the *defining factor*-it’s a **complement** to your skills. Yes, the Sony A7 Mark V is an incredible piece of technology, but the photos Jess captured also show that she’s learning quickly and leveraging the camera’s strengths effectively. It’s a perfect example of how combining skill with good equipment creates the best results. Why Skills Matter So Much This video is also a great reminder that skills transcend the gear you’re using. A professional photographer understands how to: - Work with light and shadow to create mood. - Identify interesting compositions that make photos stand out. - Think quickly and adapt to any situation, whether it's using a limited 1MP camera or maximizing the potential of high-end gear. Even with the Casio EXM1, the pro photographer was able to produce some fantastic shots by focusing on light and composition. That just goes to show how much experience matters-it’s what separates a good shot from a great one. A Fun Experiment I also loved how this video didn’t take itself too seriously and made the whole process fun. The idea of comparing a 1MP camera to a modern powerhouse like the Sony A7 Mark V is definitely eye-catching, but it’s also a fantastic way to remind viewers that *anyone can take great photos if they understand the fundamentals*. And let’s not forget how entertaining it was to see how much fun both photographers had during the challenge! It’s a reminder that photography is as much about enjoying the process as it is about the final result. Final Thoughts This video really resonated with me because it shows that skills are the foundation of photography, but gear can help elevate those skills to new heights. Whether you’re using a decades-old point-and-shoot or a cutting-edge mirrorless camera, the key is understanding the craft and bringing your unique vision to life. For beginners, it’s inspiring to see how modern cameras can help you grow and refine your skills. For experienced photographers, it’s a great reminder that creativity and adaptability are far more important than having the latest tech. Amazing work on showcasing the balance between skill and gear-this was such a fun and insightful watch! It definitely made me reflect on my own photography journey and how I can keep improving, no matter what camera I’m using. 😊📸
I did a three-year photography course squeezed into a year of training as a combat photographer; we shot our penultimate assignment which was scary; we had to open a business telephone book at random and drop a pin on the page, where it landed we had four hours to get a feature shot for a magazine cover, using all the kit given. We ran out the doors, and all completed the assignment; it was tough. The next day was the final test, and we had to hand in all our digital cameras. Then we were each handed a 36-exposure wedding camera, film, and the type you find on the centre table, and prints were made. We had to repeat the assignment from the previous day to different local businesses. The first part was convincing the business we were not taking the piss, and we duly shot our assignment improvising lighting and suchlike, We all passed, the exercise was to remind that its not the camera but the person holding it. On an overseas job, my primary camera had a firmware meltdown, and my emergency FujiFilm point-and-shoot came out with no discernible difference in standard. That exercise gave me the confidence to be a better photographer and not be limited.
I've been into photography for a while now so I wouldn't consider myself a layman, which is why I have a hard time believing there are enough things to teach about photography to fill a single, let alone three years. Were these courses supposed to take place once a week or how does that work?
@@ImNotQualifiedToSayThisBut The UK Military Photographer (5300) training course stands as an intensive year-long programme, with continual training seven days a week, including expected self-study and practice during personal time to maintain the demanding pace of learning. The technical foundation begins with forensic photography, incorporating Scene of Crime documentation under PACE regulations, alongside specialist UV/IR photography techniques and advanced forensic Photoshop applications. Students master technical and architectural photography, progress through advanced portraiture including Royal Portraiture protocols, and develop expertise in media, press, sports, and wildlife photography. Digital manipulation, ENG camera operation, video capture, and sophisticated image planning form crucial technical cornerstones. The military application phase encompasses specialised skills in air-to-air and air-to-ground photography, combat photography in active zones, and civil disturbance documentation. Students learn to operate in non-permissive environments, undertaking high-stress rapid response photography while maintaining police and security documentation standards. Environmental training pushes photographers to master their craft in aviation and maritime settings, operating across extreme environments from Arctic to desert and tropical conditions. The course emphasises high-intensity short-notice deployments and combat zone documentation, preparing photographers to gather material for civilian news agencies unable to access such areas. Professional accreditation and standards feature prominently, with students gaining worldwide photo agency accreditation while adhering to military values and standards. Press capture and release protocols, operational security considerations, and documentation procedures round out the formal requirements. This comprehensive training combines technical expertise with practical application under challenging conditions, demanding both physical and mental resilience. Graduates emerge capable of working seamlessly across military, press, and civilian sectors, often in high-stress or dangerous environments where standard press photographers may lack the training or clearance to operate.
It’s amazing how good the photos actually look from Mike’s camera. Works so well with the car. Feels period correct. Like seeing random pics online from a 2003 Tokyo auto salon.
Please do more of these, with slightly better cameras. Watching you overcome the camera limitations with composition was so helpful as a beginning photographer. It really helps make composition less mysterious. Great video!
Wonderful photos. Judging from some of these comments, I thought her shots were not going to be good, but she did some amazing shots. This goes to show that equipment makes a difference in quality when you are that extreme of a difference, but nothing will ever trump natural talent and that eye for a good shot. Because even with that little camera, you killed it with those shots! Great job, both of you!
BROOOO, your last shot, the rollinf shot is epic.. yes it lacks quality and angle.. but that vintage look gives it some spicee.. like from need for speed.. love your videos!
15:38 is the best one and it's not even close. Perfect angle and background. And the shitty quality has a natural retro look than takes an older millenial like me on a trip down memory lane when we used to look at magazines where pictures had this exact same kind of vibe.
I have seen so many such videos and it's clear that skill plays a role. But what I really wanna see is 2 amateurs using a pro and non pro camera and then see the difference. Yes skill is important but when you are starting off and learning to shoot a decent setup will take you farther than just using a point and shoot or a phone camera.
There's no substitute for experience. I once challenged a professional race car driver to a friendly competition. I was driving a Ford Mustang with a 5.0L engine. He was driving a Ford Festiva. He absolutely destroyed me.
My wife is marvelous at this. Knows nothing about cameras, but if you give her an iphone she takes the beste shots. She is slowly learning to use a camera now. Started slow with the aperture and DOF. She is killing it with her creativity.
Having exposure compensation is still something, not ideal, but something. Picking your battles with positioning and framing is the only other thing you have, but great shots can still come from pretty humble setups
Its both. A camera is a tool. If you dont understand how to use the tool to it full potential, you will not get great results regardless of how fancy the tool is. For any photographer, the biggest challenge is know where to look and when to be there. The rest is just techical details.
why not just use your phone ? for another video like this, you use a normal phone wether it be an iphone x or samsung s22, something midrange instead of using a 1mp digicam
I would love to see how these photos got to this point. That first pic from the Sony with the moon in it, I'm really interested what it looked like when it came out of the camera vs the final product, and what kind of editing it took to get it there
I like the idea of a competition rather than just a random pick for the prizes, but I feel like only people that already have good cameras are going to win. There's no way somebody using a normal phone is going to win against a top of the line camera. Just could be a bit more suited to beginners that will benefit a lot from the prize cameras.
I started only having one point click cams, getting the best out of them. Today I have my Basic Canon DSLR and i wont need more. I learned with the Basics. I only want to have a 2nd Body sometimes
The last shot made me feel nostalgic. It felt like seeing a Gran Turismo 2 ad from a magazine as a kid. Next challenge try the Ninetendo DS Camera lmao 0.3 crispy megapixels 😂
I’ve entered to the prize draw. I hope I get mentioned. I love these videos. Such a good photographer and what a creative. I love it. Still a beginner but still working on developing.
imo this clearly shows the importance of a camera. u just cant miss a shot when ur using the latest and greatest. but bro's photos.. it tells a story. so bro clearly won.. but the girl is lowkey good too. nice video
Now get someone to take a bunch of random photos and give them to both of you to edit. It's not all about what is in the camera, it is also about how well you perform in post!
I have the honor of working in the industry in camera sales. I get to sell Sigma lenses everyday, they are incredibly well made and offer some spectacular lens choices. Their new 28-105 f/2.8 is absolutely amazing. Good job Sigma
Ngl I was jealous to see that Skyline. In California, the R34 has had the worst time with people trying to get their hands on it. I've heard people going through loopholes but it's still a headache to even try to get. Beautiful car
I remember when I was in a museum on a class trip, casually taking pictures and a classmate asked me why my pictures looked so good. I used just an ordinairy phone. Meanwhile, every time I give someone else my mirrorless camera, it just all ends up out of focus and in chaos. So I would say it's skill, not saying that I have a lot of it, but you still need some practice to use a camera.
Very interesting, but a bit unfair: - the 1 MP camera does not allow any settings => an old camera, where shutter speed, aperture and focus can be set manually would have been better - the Sony will produce minimum ok pictures with everything in the program mode => setting everything to manual would show the real photography skills of an amateur
It would be interesting if you could boost the resolution with AI with like luminar or some software like that of the casio photo. Nice video. Love it!
Gday mate, I was wondering with the comp your running, are drones allowed? Also do you actually love Nikon? Just wanted to add that I absolutely love your work 👍 Cheers Jacob
would be interesting to see what you can do with your fave Casio shots with something like Topaz Photo AI... upscale the crap out of it, and run it through noise reduction
i now believe that skills is more important 😆 i always look down on me cuz my dslr is just a beginner dslr, but that's okay all i need is to practice and study everything before upgrading soon... 😁

I want to redo your burst fade so bad.
Was she adjusting the filter on her lens😂 0:11 sec
that photo from an old digicam really fits the car! it really feels like those old magazine photos from the 90's and early 2000
100% this
Mike's compositions were actually so crazy and I wish he took them with a real camera as well :')
A digicam is a real camera.
@@turtlerunsslow8255actually ☝️🤓 lookin ahh
Honestly I really love the retro feel. This car is also older so it really fits. Some of the pictures were stunning
@@turtlerunsslow8255Exactly, wrong wording
The 1MP camera has a charm of its own
Framing is definitely the biggest factor when it comes to a professional vs an amateur. Being able to frame your subjects to make it so much more interesting is really challenging.
Imo her compositions were stronger than his.
Amatures focus on a particular part of the frame. Something they see as interesting. But they get tunnel visioned and forget to see it juxtaposed with the rest of the frame. Pros understand how to use the whole frame. To balance the light and dark, guide the viewers attention with purose. Amatures generally are good at the technical side, but are still honing the "tell a story" skill.
Screw the camera. Mikes shots were unreal 🤣 so awesome to see.
In all honesty, she nailed the shots. We all know the best we like are always lightroom'ed so with these shots she did a pretty comparable job.
This was an excellent "Amateur vs Pro" competition because Mike's camera was truly amateur and Jess was not hindered by the camera being "too much".

Камера это всего лишь инструмент, это верно. Но большинство фотографов любителей просто хочет классную игрушку и их нельзя в этом винить. 💁♂️

Hi I‘m looking for a Point and shoot cam atm and was wondering which one you have specifically and what your experience with it is? :)
Mike's shots were crazy good, Jess made nice looking commercial photos, but his photos are art.
Babe wake up upppp! Northborders dropped another Camera or Skill episode
Brother. Mike did some crazy shots with that pos. So vibey. But fair enough to her also. Good work
The photo at 15:38 is crazy
looks like an old windows 7 wallpaper
Yeah. Mikes photos look so cool even though they are low Res. I can't believe myself how good these turned out. Impressive
It’s amazing how good the photos actually look from Mike’s camera. Works so well with the car. Feels period correct. Like seeing random pics online from a 2003 Tokyo auto salon.
And he’s back with another video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥favourite series bro!
Super early
Please do more of these, with slightly better cameras. Watching you overcome the camera limitations with composition was so helpful as a beginning photographer. It really helps make composition less mysterious. Great video!
That last moving photo from 1MP camera... OMG SO Good, that vibes..
Wonderful photos. Judging from some of these comments, I thought her shots were not going to be good, but she did some amazing shots. This goes to show that equipment makes a difference in quality when you are that extreme of a difference, but nothing will ever trump natural talent and that eye for a good shot. Because even with that little camera, you killed it with those shots! Great job, both of you!
That shot at 15:38 actually started making me respect the 1mp cam but has to be edited and noise reduced
Ain't nothing more annoying than them taking POV shots for evey challenge then not using them in the final edit lol
That little casio was one of our family cameras growing up, I have a real soft spot for them now haha
I absolutely love videos like this, been a long time since I've seen a good quality competition
I loved that this was the opposite of so many videos. The pro was humble and the tools got their credit, as did the amateur’s eye. Subbed.
Feels like im looking at old Forza or Grand Turismo ads versus the new games' ads. Both incredible.
Love these videos. It's great to see the compositions and lighting you use. Gives me ideas! Keep up the good work!
BROOOO, your last shot, the rollinf shot is epic.. yes it lacks quality and angle.. but that vintage look gives it some spicee.. like from need for speed.. love your videos!

This was awesome! So glad I came across your channel!
Ooooh Casio Exilim! I owned one that’s an earlier model than this and it’s still in a box somewhere. Amazing camera for its time. It was so slim. :)
Ohh one of my favorite kind of videos wooooo
I have been waiting for this series alot from you and am also eager for the photo battle, bro.
its also not the skill but the natural talent (the creativity, the eye for art). All his shots are gorgeous.
I so want to do similar competition too. And your photos was better but i was suprised how good hers was
This was so enlightening! Makes me wanna get an old and light weight digi-cam too!
There's no substitute for experience. I once challenged a professional race car driver to a friendly competition. I was driving a Ford Mustang with a 5.0L engine. He was driving a Ford Festiva. He absolutely destroyed me.
Hi,Can you help me choose a camera to get into the realm of photography?
That was fucking excellent! Awesome vibes.
Love this! Keep the car photography vids coming Mike! 🔥
My wife is marvelous at this. Knows nothing about cameras, but if you give her an iphone she takes the beste shots. She is slowly learning to use a camera now. Started slow with the aperture and DOF.
She is killing it with her creativity.
But part of the expertise is the ability to control the camera and use the settings right. With the digicam there's nothing to control.
Having exposure compensation is still something, not ideal, but something.
Picking your battles with positioning and framing is the only other thing you have, but great shots can still come from pretty humble setups
Its both. A camera is a tool. If you dont understand how to use the tool to it full potential, you will not get great results regardless of how fancy the tool is. For any photographer, the biggest challenge is know where to look and when to be there. The rest is just techical details.
Nice work mate keep it up 👍 ❤
I have that digicam and I love it it holds up so well
I love this idea. And second the idea of doing the same with a common smartphone camera vs a pro camera.
uh lala, amezing shooting !!!!! i need power!! jejejej
That pic at 14:56 is great. Love it. Specially sinse we've seen pictures of this make of car 1 million bazillion times.
Thank you for this video and photos😊
That was a fun challenge I think you both learned a lot from it!
why not just use your phone ? for another video like this, you use a normal phone wether it be an iphone x or samsung s22, something midrange instead of using a 1mp digicam
He's done that.
But thats the whole point of it! Whats the best photo a pro can take with the worst camera he could find in terms of specs
Phone is boring
There's no challenge
The phone cam comparisons have been done 1000s of times. Do you really want to see another “is your phone cam just as good as a pro dslr” video?
printed in a small format and hung to a wall as a collage, the 1MP pictures would be stunning.
all the photos look good.
amazing work guys
the 3nd pic looks straight out of a video game🔥🔥
hey mike how do you get people to let you photograph their car ( i dont know people w cool cars)
Search for some local supercar groups. I joined one and now have access to all sorts of car goodness!
These thumbnails get funnier and funnier everytime 😂
The term “professional” or “amateur” have no bearing on ability, it just means you earn money from something or you don’t.
I disagree.
I would love to see how these photos got to this point. That first pic from the Sony with the moon in it, I'm really interested what it looked like when it came out of the camera vs the final product, and what kind of editing it took to get it there
Nice content Mike. Whats the camera on her cap ? a 360 ?
I like the idea of a competition rather than just a random pick for the prizes, but I feel like only people that already have good cameras are going to win. There's no way somebody using a normal phone is going to win against a top of the line camera. Just could be a bit more suited to beginners that will benefit a lot from the prize cameras.

Still a beginner but still working on developing.
imo this clearly shows the importance of a camera. u just cant miss a shot when ur using the latest and greatest.
but bro's photos.. it tells a story. so bro clearly won.. but the girl is lowkey good too. nice video
You should do the cheapest zoom lens vs the most expensive zoom lens
I like that idea!
Now get someone to take a bunch of random photos and give them to both of you to edit. It's not all about what is in the camera, it is also about how well you perform in post!
awsome content :) thank you sir.
Watching these pictures taken with the Casio, it’s like i’m watching an old 2000’s movie !! 😆
Nice job by both of you, given the constraints.
0:45 There's no such thing as "versing"; versus means "against".
I love ur vids ❤❤
worth watching for sure
What a video! 💯
Is the cannon m50 a good starter camera? And if so what lens should i get ( im wanting to focus on cars but i will do nature as well )
Love old digicam lofi shots
I have the honor of working in the industry in camera sales. I get to sell Sigma lenses everyday, they are incredibly well made and offer some spectacular lens choices. Their new 28-105 f/2.8 is absolutely amazing. Good job Sigma
This video made me discover your channel I subscribe
Ngl I was jealous to see that Skyline. In California, the R34 has had the worst time with people trying to get their hands on it. I've heard people going through loopholes but it's still a headache to even try to get. Beautiful car
Just seeing your growth over the years here on UA-cam is awesome!! Hope you’re having a shit one!!
Awesome 😎❤
She did great!
I remember when I was in a museum on a class trip, casually taking pictures and a classmate asked me why my pictures looked so good. I used just an ordinairy phone. Meanwhile, every time I give someone else my mirrorless camera, it just all ends up out of focus and in chaos. So I would say it's skill, not saying that I have a lot of it, but you still need some practice to use a camera.
I remember DigitalRev TV had the same series back in the day. Was really cool.
Thx for the new video! This girl has impressive beautiful blue eyes!
Very interesting, but a bit unfair:
- the 1 MP camera does not allow any settings => an old camera, where shutter speed, aperture and focus can be set manually would have been better
- the Sony will produce minimum ok pictures with everything in the program mode => setting everything to manual would show the real photography skills of an amateur
Yo hi Mike, quick question. Do you recommend the A7R IV? I mainly shoot aviation photography and im thinking about buying it. Thanks
dont know if you tried before but pro vs amateur and you pick current budget mirrorless camera with kit lens or a small step up from that
Bro activated my HomePod 😭😭😭
His pics were more interesting, hers were more pleasing to the eye
that's the camera of my dreams so I can carry on what I started with the photo
It would be interesting if you could boost the resolution with AI with like luminar or some software like that of the casio photo.
Nice video. Love it!
Gday mate, I was wondering with the comp your running, are drones allowed? Also do you actually love Nikon? Just wanted to add that I absolutely love your work 👍
Cheers
Jacob
Hi I'm using Coolpix p520 how do I set length for portraits cuz I know 75is best for up close portraits if p520 doesn't show mm please?
would be interesting to see what you can do with your fave Casio shots with something like Topaz Photo AI... upscale the crap out of it, and run it through noise reduction
Gotta try the CampSnap next time. 🤙
He absolutly won 😮
i now believe that skills is more important 😆
i always look down on me cuz my dslr is just a beginner dslr, but that's okay all i need is to practice and study everything before upgrading soon... 😁
Skill wins as always ❤
Next time you could try an even more abysmal camera with "Pro vs. Someone who never used a DSLR before"
Everytime I'm watching his videos, I am holding my camera lol like I'm shooting with them
