When I started photography in 2018 in Chicago. Manny's videos were such an inspiration to me. I've been on this journey and learned a lot from you. Fast forward 6 years, I've upgraded from the D200, to the D600, D750, and Z6II, and I've been published in 6 different magazines. I'm picking up business and hopefully I'll get to where I'm trying to go. I just wanted to say thank you to you for being a guide and sharing your experience. It helped me a lot when I wanted to quit. Keep going brother.

Always appreciate the content and your honest opinions, Manny! It's interesting what you (very honestly) said about "being a KZfaqr, I have to use the latest cameras...". I think this gets lost on a lot of viewers and buyers. Content creators are not always using their preferred/favourite camera, just what they 'have' to use to keep views coming in from us gear-obsessed people. I don't shoot hardcore sports/wildlife, so for purely photography, I'm still waiting for a compelling reason to 'upgrade' from a Sony A7R III(A). All bodies post-2017 are sensational for stills and give pretty much identical stills performance, so it all comes down to the glass for me...

@stevencrabtree1409 2 ай бұрын

I still use my X100s I've had for ages. I got mine because my cameras were becoming a work thing, and my kit had grown to a large roller bag. My X100s got me to enjoy photography and make it fun again. I agree, there is no real alternative. It is what it is, and if that is what you want, you want an X100.

@christianschneider1706 2 ай бұрын

Thanx for the great video. I have the R5 and X100V and couldn't be happier. When I first borrowed a R5 I knew I was never going to use anything but Canon in my career. I had a XH2 and a A7RIV and sold them the same week, and bought the R5. And the X100 is in my pocket whenever I'm not in the studio. They're my brusches and I can paint whatever painting I want with them.

I was really hurt that someone would do this to me and take away something so dear to me and my hobby... especially when I didn't do anything to them to deserve it. Regardless, your video about having things stolen has really helped stay positive and level-headed about the situation, realizing that I'm not alone in having this happen to me. Thanks man

@MichaelLaing71 2 ай бұрын

Good list and reasons. Maybe weirdly, after shooting with a GFX100s for a year, I am now drawn to go back to my Nikon D850 (to be the point where I just bought 2 lenses for the D850). I just find I love the ergonomics of the Nikon, and whilst I know the Z8 is a much better camera, I really can't justify upgrading cause the D850 does everything I need of it.

@jaimeduncan6167 2 ай бұрын

The point is: today cameras are so good, that you can peek whatever feels right as long as you have the support you need in your location. There are exceptions, Fuji does not have a good action camera. You can make it work (I used to shoot dance with a film camera and take pictures of peek moments) but you will be at a disadvantage and will get far fewer keepers (for action for the most part, Sony is the best then Nikon Z8/Z9 then Canon, even if you don't believe it and just right now, as the new Canons are coming, but you are splitting hairs). A Hassy will not help you with action, but if you are a portrait photographer, food, product, or landscape the Hassy (H2D) and the Fuji are fast and consistent enough. Choose what you love.

@77dris 2 ай бұрын

@@nagual2335 R6II is better than R5: Better/more advanced autofocus in photos and video. Much larger AF area with small aperture lenses (like the RF 600 and 800mm lenses). Lower noise at high ISOs (photos/video). Faster bursts. Less rolling shutter. Much better/sharper full frame, oversampled 4k60. No record limits. Full frame oversampled 24/30 with no record limits or overheating. MUCH better battery life. Subject Detect Only Autofocus (found only on Canon Cinema cams, it's a game changer). High speed custom anti-flicker speeds for photos and video (I don't think the R5 has that). R6 II has slightly better dynamic range for photos as well, especially at higher ISOs. Some say the colour from the R6II is also the best they've seen from a Canon mirrorless so far, though that's not something I care too much about because colour is easy to massage to liking from raw files. The extra MP don't really matter because when I upsample from 24MP on the R6 II to the 45MP on the R5, there is almost no difference (even viewed at 100% zoom on a 5k monitor). When printed I see no diff. If I upscale using any AI (like Enhance in Adobe products), the R6 II files usually look slightly better. MP are very overrated at this point. Then again, I've printed billboards with 8MP images from the old 1DIIN and they looked great. If I really need large, using free AI upscale I can get 100MP images that look incredible. The only thing the R5 has that I miss is the 4k120. But the 4k60 is so good that I shoot that most of the time. I saved about $2500 cdn getting the R6II over the R5 and bought some nice glass with that money. The R5 is still amazing though and supposedly has a better build (though I can't feel it when holding both) and slightly larger LCD and higher res EVF (though I can't really notice them when using side by side). I kind of like the look of the top LCD screen too, but in real world the dial works really well.

Good morning, let me briefly share my experience with you. I have always been a user of Nikon cameras. These are reliable and well-built cameras, with an excellent screen and viewfinder. However, with the transition to mirrorless, I switched to Sony. Having also used the Nikon Z6II in a professional setting, I can say that the eye recognition autofocus and other features did not provide reliability for my work, and it must be admitted that it is not up to the competition. I am very satisfied with Sony, specifically with the Sony A7 IV and the R series... I will never go back! For me, it's simply a matter of equipment, meaning what I need is just reliability at work, quality, and a good feel.

Those Hassleblad shots are insane but that camera is just too expensive imho! But I understand the allure of standing out in the crowd. Any thoughts on the A9III for strobe portraits? I understand the hit in megapixels but I used to knock it outta the park with the Canon 6d (which has even less MPs than the A9III).
