regarding the best camera - @Jordan, don't be mad, Chris I believe has some Japanese blood in his veins, and that blood is all about tradition - and he is right, the last Samurai deserves to be treated with honor and respect for (maybe) one last time, as it might become a Ronin in the future :D
Reminds me of this girl that I was seeing. I'd send her a nice picture I would take and she would ask me why I was sending it to her if she wasnt in the photo (she was joking btw)... after a couple times Id start photoshopping her face into the corner of pictures.
I completely disagree with you, apple is no the best smartphone camera in this year, it is the Google pixel sorry man but you are Apple fanboy. I love your videos but I would like to your be more real.
Much as I enjoy the thoughts and reviews of your guests, your year-end episodes sum up why you guys are the most informative and most entertaining voices in the biz. If I ever make it to Alberta I will bring you a nice bottle of tequila.
Guys, you as the team are my absolute favourite youtubers in this industry. Authentic, fun, clear about a possible bias (if any), factual and creative! If I may, my Best UA-camr Reward of 2017 goes to.. Chris, as far as trends are concerned, I think Chris is also on his way to become a star much beyond youtube! ;) Thank you so much for your fantastic work!
Waited all year to see Chris and Jordan getting drunk. I was not disappointed. Can't wait for next year. Anyway, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I ditched my Adobe CC subscription this year. I went back to Photoshop CS6, which has all the features I use including Camera Raw. I just installed Da Vinci Resolve for video editing. Then Wavelab for sound manipulation when required. I anticipate that 2018 will be much friendlier to my hip pocket, but with a steep learning curve...
I clicked as soon I saw the notification EDIT: *Spoiler* I expected everyone in this video but Kai, Is good to see photographers channels supporting each other c:
Oh man, these special episodes at the end of each year had become a very fun tradition to me and it's always something I look forward! Keep rocking dudes!
I'm a long time Pentaxian, from MX film days to K-70 digital days. Your negative comments about the KP: overpriced, over-hyped iso, ghastly ggggrips are absolutely spot-on. Well done guys, for calling it out - and also for recognising what good value the K-70 and K-1 are. Pity Pentax are a small part of a large Ricoh, rather slow with bringing out lenses for these cameras, but hopefully they will carry on and eventually get there!
I didn't like the KP either. But I recently compared the d850, a7r3 and instead got a pentax k-1 which offered more for less and is a lot nicer to handle than the sony and get a nice ibis system that the d850 doesn't offer. It's still an absolute beast of a package even 3 years later and the high iso performance is still better than the d850 and the a7r3. The kp grip is a joke and the feeling in hand is of a toy.
This was one of my fave videos of 2017. You and all of the guests are responsible for me taking photography more seriously! Looking forward to your entries for 2018!
OK that's more than I can take. I'm at 22:01 and you've forced me to pour a drink before I continue to watch this informative and entertaining episode. I hope you're proud of yourselves. Thx.
TCS's B&W at Christmas, is hands down the best viewing on UA-cam. Something I look forward to every year, and you guys always deliver the goods! (I also 2nd Twister for next years drinking game!) Excellent!
You guys topped yourselves on this Best and Worst. Having your UA-cam friends join in was genius! A big thank you to the whole gang that was part of it.
This is becoming a great tradition for me! To Tyler's point about smaller RAW formats, I LOVE Fuji's lossless compressed RAW files. I'm getting file sizes that are 50-60% smaller than the uncompressed RAW, but I'm losing no performance in terms of image quality at all. Dynamic range, ISO performance, detail, color, etc. is the same. It's incredible.
Another wonderful and fun year end Best & Worst. Loved it and very fun to see your guest stars (you know you have to appear on their channels now, right?). Merry Christmas!
Lol, we all know you were talking about Nikon with the sexism thing!! ;) Great vid as usual guys! This was fun to watch you talk about stuff and play battleship too lol
Lol great video guys. Like every other previous years you don’t disappoint and amazing to see the rest of the photographic community getting involved. Keep it up guys!
Wow this year you really outdid yourselves guys! Best episode ever. It's amazing to see how the youtubers can help each other instead of fighting. Great job to everyone in the video. Also, the drinking game was fun :D
I guess this is this time of the year when you think of the past year and you guys just did it for me. This is how I spend my entire year, and people with whom i spend it, some other ones as well, but... I watched their videos so much, going back and force, back and force, and then watch it again and again, yes "which camera I should buy", but the point is, I started to feel like those guys are my most closest friends, almost like family. Still don't know which camera I should buy, but it is only makes looking onto 2018 more exciting. Lets do it again! It's also reminded me of one old TV show, that normally cast on TV during New Years Eves. During that show some prominent people, who did something noticeable during that year will do their own little presentations. I will add link at the bottom with one I found, it is not my times, i watched it much later, but this one is interesting in sense that they presenting cameras, this is 1965 and Yuri Gagarin, russian cosmonaut, first man fly into space, sporting with portable camera. go to 6 min. Funny enough there is also song during this show titled: " It wasn't that long ago, but yet it was a long time ago" . Happy New Year! Keep your shop open! - > ua-cam.com/video/loTl_G_QBto/v-deo.html - watch at 6 min, or whole think if you like, but no English, have fun :) )
You two fellows are like scotch - becoming seriously better with age. Next year, sip down Lagavulin, eat steaks, and film the episode in the cellars on the Isle of Islay, Scotland.
Bless you guys. I love this channel. Video really took a turn for the better when the alcohol kicked in. My least favorite parts were when the other channels chimed in. If I wanted their opinion, I would watch their channel. Keep them out next time. Great work always. Peace.
My camera is best No.3! 😍 #teamfujixt20! Thank you for all your great reviews this year! You were honestly very influencial in my camera choice! My first ever camera was the Fuji X10, I knew i could trust your reviews and keep on with the Fuji system! The glass, the fast/easy mechanical dials, that's what make fuji shine! Can't wait what 2018 brings in the camera world!
Great idea to invite some friends to have their vote too. You really did select some very popular faces. Maarten Heilbron and David Thorpe should feature next year ! Enjoyable video and terrific selection in all major categories. Best wishes for 2018 to all of you @ TheCameraStoreTV
Another great Best/Worst show! I actually liked my AF-P 70-300. It broke the fall when I dropped my D7200. The lens is toast, but the camera is just fine!
Great video. I sure would like to know more about the software you useto replace lightroom and premier pro. Good luck to Jordan for next year ! Statiscally your bound to win 1 (eventually).
While you're talking about lenses, either of you have any thoughts about these new Irix lenses (Firefly and Blackstone)... I believe they are 11 and 15mm f/2.4. Thanks
Mark Streit I've seen the 11mm and whilst the build quality is suspect the lens performed quite well optically. A friend of mine had one and enjoyed it bit it failed fairly quickly. Could be a one off thing. Chris@TCSTV
Thanks for the quick reply. Surprised that a lens w/ such an intro and all that super slick protective packaging they tout (the neoprene formed case for the Blackstone) would have quality issues. Appreciate the heads up.
Why are people so excited about the iphone X's camera? I find cheap android cameras more important. They contribute way more to the photography world because they are affordable. By the way I found most other phone cameras to be better than the iphone X's
Great to see so many of my favourite camera reviewers guest appear in this video. Thanks for all your reviews this year. Best wishes for the season and see you in 2018 :-)

TheCameraStoreTV As a Pentaxian, I would agree about the KP. Not a great value compared to the K-70 or K3ii.

Fight Boat! Looking to 2018's drinking Twister game..
Did Jordan drink it all? :-)
Sorry guys Pentax KP won best apsc camera in expert catogary at TIPA awards
Loved it! Especially the bit I'm in.
best camera book: "In Camera."
Thanks!
hahaha... ^_^
Because of confirmation bias, a lens choice was just made for me. Thanks, Gordon!
You're welcome, it's a fab lens!
I gave it a like for the erotic beverage stirring but then I unliked when I saw your cups and re-liked again when I saw me.
Chelsea Northrup hahaha 😂
Lol Chelsea you subscribe to bollywood music? I'm an Indian so ty!!
Reminds me of this girl that I was seeing. I'd send her a nice picture I would take and she would ask me why I was sending it to her if she wasnt in the photo (she was joking btw)... after a couple times Id start photoshopping her face into the corner of pictures.
Our Queen has spoken!
Liked before I watch since I know this will be awesome! 👌
Thanks for being a part of it!
So did I;)
Thanks for calling out the 6Dii
You guys are awesome… I want in on the drinking games next year!
The Art of Photography I want deeper pixels.
Sony didn't create the back lit sensor, Samsung developed it.
I completely disagree with you, apple is no the best smartphone camera in this year, it is the Google pixel sorry man but you are Apple fanboy. I love your videos but I would like to your be more real.
Deep pixels are my choice, too.
gonna be the greatest camera video ever
Just wouldn't be Christmas without this
Better without the teenage drinking act. Time to grow up.
Damnit! Now it's 365 days of waiting until the next Best/Worst gear video :/
I love it! Don't you ever stop doing this!
Much as I enjoy the thoughts and reviews of your guests, your year-end episodes sum up why you guys are the most informative and most entertaining voices in the biz. If I ever make it to Alberta I will bring you a nice bottle of tequila.
GildedEntries Yes Please!
I’m glad you guys let me phone this one in, I don’t envy that hangover
+1 to small/medium raws!

Chris, as far as trends are concerned, I think Chris is also on his way to become a star much beyond youtube! ;) Thank you so much for your fantastic work!
I found your channel 5 years ago and I’ve been a fan ever since. This is your best “Best & Worst” video yet! Love you guys!
Waited all year to see Chris and Jordan getting drunk. I was not disappointed. Can't wait for next year. Anyway, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Supern! With the Northups, Gordon, Max, and Kai, what a great collaboration! Nothing gets better than this.

Entertaining as always. So much good chemistry between the two. Time just flies when watching their videos.
Oh man, these special episodes at the end of each year had become a very fun tradition to me and it's always something I look forward! Keep rocking dudes!
This episode was sponsored by the **Canadian Liver Foundation** and by **Hazy Pitchers R Us**...
Both too old for the stale drinking routine.
As a loyal Pentaxian, I don't think you're far off putting the KP where you did.

The kp grip is a joke and the feeling in hand is of a toy.
Great video! I got the GH5 this year and couldn't be happier. I hope to make a short film before I graduate high school.
Kai should do a "The Best & Worst Christmas Sweaters of 2017" video.
Juan Quispe he will probably need a guest in to do the "best" part! ☺
This was one of my fave videos of 2017. You and all of the guests are responsible for me taking photography more seriously! Looking forward to your entries for 2018!
Best video all year, the drunk battleship was hilarious! Glad to see the 6D MkII the overall stinkiest camera of 2017.
this was sooo good.
Id like to say it would been so good as a live stream LOL
Let's get a Jordan training montage video for next year's game 😂 he must rally!!
That's such a great idea! Shame I'll have to wait 12 months before shooting it...
Jordan @ TCSTV
15:00 Jordan demonstrating A7R3 video tracking LOL
yes he is sexy isnt he?
Great job as usual. I look forward to it each year.
Another Fun Watch! Enjoyed all the cameos too! Really like the community of UA-camr helping each other out here. Nice to see!
Can’t believe a year has past already, The one show I really look forward to, Hope you guys have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
OK that's more than I can take. I'm at 22:01 and you've forced me to pour a drink before I continue to watch this informative and entertaining episode. I hope you're proud of yourselves. Thx.

This is the best video I've seen from you guys. Hilarious!!
Lol great video guys. Like every other previous years you don’t disappoint and amazing to see the rest of the photographic community getting involved.
Keep it up guys!
Strangely the Pentax forums are spoookily quiet!
I keep on getting excited by all the celebrity cameos! I’m glad ye all get on so well 😄
Best photography related youtube video of 2017! Thanks guys! Love the collaborations!!
Wow this year you really outdid yourselves guys! Best episode ever. It's amazing to see how the youtubers can help each other instead of fighting.
Great job to everyone in the video.

I was wondering when this episode was coming! One of my favorite podcasts to look forward to near the end of the year.
This 2017 review wins, for me, BEST Video of the year!! I absolutely love these 🙏🏽🤣📸🎥
i'm all thru with endless gear reviews but the two smooth dudes i make an exception for.best reviewers on youtube
You two fellows are like scotch - becoming seriously better with age. Next year, sip down Lagavulin, eat steaks, and film the episode in the cellars on the Isle of Islay, Scotland.
Bless you guys. I love this channel. Video really took a turn for the better when the alcohol kicked in. My least favorite parts were when the other channels chimed in. If I wanted their opinion, I would watch their channel. Keep them out next time. Great work always. Peace.
I feel like I helped buy that gin since I bought an X-T20 from these guys - money well spent for both the video and the camera!...;-)
Awesome vid guys - fun to watch and well executed. Can't wait to see what gear 2018 brings us
Hei that's entertaining and one of the best videos from CSTV merry Christmas and Happy new year to Chris and Jordan👍🏽
It would not be a Christmas without your video! Thank you! I wish you guys all the best.
YES! Been waiting for this for....well...a year actually. Top job fella's.
Third season watching "The Best & Worst Photo/Video Gear"... Awesome to watch!
My camera is best No.3! 😍 #teamfujixt20!
Thank you for all your great reviews this year!
You were honestly very influencial in my camera choice! My first ever camera was the Fuji X10, I knew i could trust your reviews and keep on with the Fuji system! The glass, the fast/easy mechanical dials, that's what make fuji shine!
Can't wait what 2018 brings in the camera world!
The worst of 2017 was, without a doubt, the december burglary of the TCSTV store. Good thing they captured the thieves and got most of the gear back.
Look forward to this show every year.
So who drank that liter between 14:00 and 14:07? Was it the camera women?
This is amazing, love all the cameos!
As always love your year-end reviews guys. Twas cool to see you add others whom I also follow here on youtube. Keep it up guys!!
Great video guys, always look forward to this each year!
Great fun review guys, as always. Loved the industry inserts too. Hendricks is a Scottish Gin by the way. All the best for the New Year guys...
Oh Wow! I love the UA-camrs you guys featured here especially The Northrups, Kai Wong, Gordon Laing, Matt Granger, Max Yuryev, Ted Forbes!
Where is Jared?
Finally the 2017 ver.! Great job.
This was great! I loved the collabs! Always enjoy these videos.
Been waiting all year for this!
Nothing is better than watching these guys get sauced. Love it.
I loved Battleship as a kid.... Damn I'm old!
Thx again for another entertaining Christmas special ;)

Thank god i didi not see the Fro. Lol
Always love these. Videos but this format was fantastic. Love the community feel. Felt like an all star show haha.
Great idea to invite some friends to have their vote too. You really did select some very popular faces. Maarten Heilbron and David Thorpe should feature next year ! Enjoyable video and terrific selection in all major categories. Best wishes for 2018 to all of you @ TheCameraStoreTV

Fun to see photoyoutube coming together for this. I love these vids. Merry christmas.
Always a highlight at the end of the year :-D Merry christmas!
these videos are the best thing ever. EVER!
Great video as always...but I do especially look forward to these year-end ones. And this one might have been the best so far!
YES! Loved it and the addition of the other youtubers!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays guys, thx for another great year.
Why are people so excited about the iphone X's camera? I find cheap android cameras more important. They contribute way more to the photography world because they are affordable. By the way I found most other phone cameras to be better than the iphone X's
Amazing as always. The use of your peers was an inspired idea!
I love my X-T20! Amazing results and fun to use. Great video, guys. As always.
Great to see so many of my favourite camera reviewers guest appear in this video. Thanks for all your reviews this year. Best wishes for the season and see you in 2018 :-)
“Let me compress my data more without losing anything” is having your cake and eating it too
Such a great episode this year!
I think next year you should have a professional booze reviewer on to help with the booze choices... ;) great video guys!
BoozeReviewsca there are no pro booze reviewers, they call it "alcoholic beverages".
Brian Cullen It was a fun comment. Ive beem reviewing for years and I even dont class myself as a pro reviewer. Just someome with a killer liver ;)
Love how you implemented all the other photo Tubers. Great vid.
Great Show, as usual. Hope you had not a too bad headache the next day.
waiting all year for this, nice job....merry xmas
Twister for next years drunken game :D
