Tobis, I love the style of your videos and reviews (both cameras, cities/countries and food) and the personal perspective that make them very approachable. Keep it up.

Fantastic. Thanks for the update. I still remember taking the x100s as my only camera on a trip and it was fantastic to use. Having one camera felt great. But unlike yourself I am not much a video person but the Sony sounds like a great option for lightweight videos and vlogs. Not to say every situation you can get away with one lens. Like a safari for example. But it is amazing how much is possible when you aren't weighed down.

Nice video lovely camera & I'd love to see NY one day. For cityscapes I normally need something a lot wider and I adore the Pana "Leica" 8-18 on M43 format equiv to 16-36mm on full frame.

The Compagnon element line really is fantastic. I got the Sling 15 and it is so versatile. Surprised not many people are talking about them. With regards to the Leica, I’m still deciding whether to “upgrade” like you from an X100V. These videos are very helpful. Thank you.

@TobisTings 2 жыл бұрын

I absolutely love the Compagnon Element. By far the most comfortable, versatile and rugged camera backpack I ever had. Would buy it again in an instant. As for upgrading from the V to the Q2, its complicated. I still own the V and can't really bring myself to sell it since I love it so much. With that being said, it has been collecting dust on a shelf since I got the Q2. I plan on making a seperate video about wheather or not this was a worthwhile upgrade and worth the money in the next couple of weeks. Hope that might help you and others in making the right decision. ;)

I sold all of my Fujifilm bodies and lenses (including the X100V) to purchase the Q2. I have no regrets!

Nice video and thanks for the food guide, always essential.. One thing though minor as it is, there is no IBIS on the Q2 which I have owned since 2019, but the lens has OIS. Looking forward for more vids using this camera, thanks.

Fun video, Tobis! I’m glad you had a good experience in NY, and next time I’m there I have to try your food recommendations for sure. Question: what was the brown back with the roll top you were using? Thanks!

Another great video Tobis! Do You usually shoot in AF or manual focus with the Q2? If so, why do You choose to do that? Keep up your good work 👌👍🔝📸

Love the channel, would you consider using the Q2 monochrom in a future video, I am very seriously considering this camera, which would take me considerable time to save for.

Wonderful videos and one of the influences on me finally "pulling the trigger" and getting a Q2. Question: Love your brown strap which looks fantastic with the black Leica. What is the brand? Thank you in advance for your time with this question.

Hi, Taking mine to New York this year and then on to Utah and Pacific coast. I am a nothing but an experienced amateur but like you concerned about just taking this camera. Did you feel limited in Iceland when doing landscape. I am wondering if I need something like an Rx100 just in case….

Thank you Tobis for sharing your videos. I do like hem very much. As 1 X100v user I am interested in buying a Leica Q2. I wonder if you can elaborate on your learning curve in using a leica Q2. What do you notice in using the Leica ? What did you change to improve your photo's ? Is is the field of view ? Is it to manage distortion ? Or working with a shallower dept of view ? Something else ? Please share your experiences with us.

@TobisTings 2 жыл бұрын

I am planning to make a video about my thoughts on weather or not the Leica Q2 was worth the upgrade for me and I will talk about my process of getting used to the Leica over time. That video should be out within the next few weeks. For now I am just about to release the second part of this video which is about my time in Iceland and my experience and the shots that I got using the Q2 (just FYI).

Will do, probably in the near future. I am however at a point right now where I got my EDC gear so dialed in (for my needs) that barely anything changes. I try out new stuff every now and then but always seem to go back to the same gear. But still, new video about my current EDC setup coming soon. ;)

I actually didn't... there was a huge line so we chose to rather enjoy the views. Would have been interesting to stend there though.
