You see a GXAce film pop up, you drop everything and watch :)

They cost about 3k now, in 10 years people will either not care and they'll half in price or they'll care even more and it'll be 6k for a usable one.

The effort and imagination you put into your content is, to me, unrivalled. I've only been using digital cameras for 5 minutes (on and off for about 3 years) and I'm really enjoying what you put out.

Crazy how ahead of its time this camera was and how well it aged. The images in this video are, as always, amazing, extremely inspiring, regardless of what camera or lens you talk about. Just makes me wanna go out and shoot. Thanks for taking the time to make these

I own an R-D1 and I could never expect the results to look as good as they look in this video. Your image editing skills are just amazing, they can make any camera look awesome in its own way. I love the dystopian and liminal space feel that your images give. Keep up the amazing work.

Your videos capture everything great about photography in such a cinematic and moving way. Amazing photos and such a cool camera that I've never heard about until today. Keep on keeping on.

Your videos are too good! I can't just watch them when the pop up in my feed. I have to find a quiet time to sit down with no distractions, and it is totally worth it. Every video is such a crafted experience! I appreciate how much work you put into your videos! Thank you!

Wow. I just found your channel and I'm blown away. Your videos are just so so beautiful in the way they are shot, colour graded, cut... the music... your props. Really stunning! I'm a photographer who largely shoots on film and there has never been a digital camera I have instantly lusted over like this one. The tactility and fun of shooting is so important. This camera is going on my "what to buy next week when I win the lottery" list for sure ;)

Man, this is a camera I would love to own. Imagine if Epson just took their time to see the love there is for this camera on social media, and made a new version of it. It would sell out everywhere instantly. I shoot the Leica M9 for the same reasons. It’s not totally the same, but it gets me close.

No matter how many videos I watch, every time a GX video is uploaded I don't hesitate to watch it immediately. It's just unparalleled workmanship and effort in these, please never change!

I absolutely love the dramatic effect, opening shots and general vibe. This channel needs millions of subscribers so we can all fully appreciate the beautiful resonance.

It surprised me how wide the difference between this Epson RD-1 video and the other video you made about it 4 years ago. Not that the old video is bad by any means matter of fact it is really good. But the current style and the unique perspective of yours in the new videos, It's ... extraordinary.

I watch your content like it's my favorite movie coming out. I make sure my quality settings are as high as possible. I wear my earphones to drown out external noise. It's amazing the gems you find!

The king returns! Saw you talking about this on a livestream and was intrigued. They need to run this camera back because I feel like alot of people today are looking for EXACTLY this camera. Really cool stuff and as always your presentation is perfect.

Literally the only channel I wish I can do content like. Nothing else comes comes remotely close to your style. Amazing! I wanna find this cameras now and get it, lol.

I always enjoy the production quality of your videos. They are so visually appealing and interesting.

Completely blown away by the production quality of your videos. You are an inspiration to me! The music as well, I need to know, what music is this? I NEED MORE OF IT!

GxAce dropping gems with a consistency that I had hoped he would, when he dropped the X-Pro3 review back a few years ago (which introduced me to his work). What a humble guy, despite how insanely talented and innovative he is in his content production. And, your photos seriously look like they were taken with a film camera. So, you did Epson justice! Keep it up, Ace!

Man, I dont know how u can produce this. Its sooo awesome. Thank u for making content!

jeeeezzz...another masterpiece that's 1) informative 2) inspirational 3) making me want things i didn't even know existed. and the music...god the music itself! i will happily support you indefinitely;) you rock! peace! p.s. love the new mask and iceland footage \m/

another awe-inspiring video, with really amazing shots and color grading. I've bought your preset pack. But whilst the videos that you produce are amazing, and always about amazing pieces of gear. your shots in every video retain that same ability to bring out interesting angles,light, shapes and form no matter what gear your using. Actually watching multiple videos on your channel over the last few months has the opposite effect of promoting any piece of gear for me Ace.... actually its great proof that the shot is in the eye and creativity of the photographer. Great skills and great eye man. Love it

Ah yes, was thinking this week, it's been a while since I had last seen a masterpiece from GX. Phenomenal as always! Making me more curious about the epic camera tools we never heard of, and presenting it all in the most cinematic way possible. And those photos, worthy of large prints!

These were shot in detroit. I really love the GM Pavillion and has led to me getting many images using it as some sort of element in my photos when in its presence. What a wonderful video. I just wish companies would make things like this more now. We're clearly showing there's an enormous untapped market to return to analog. vinyl outsold CDs for the first time since CDs came out back in 2017. We love imperfection and finding the perfection within it. the raw connection to the device is absolutely unrivalled. You have likely kindled and rekindled many hundreds of people to try this stuff out. I hope many thousands follow. Your work is literal art every time.

insane video- so well done. I own two D-100s simply for the sensor because its honestly so good. love that you featured the RD-1 and glad you own one. cant find them anywhere!

the effort and talent put into your videos is unreal. this is beautiful.

I love everything you do from the bottom of my heart! Your videos are transcending my mind and filling my heart with so much joy of being creative and wanting to create myself. Thank you!

Man, it's amazing how you turned review into peace of art! Huge respect. Sound design is also top!

I think what most still photographers don’t understand is that the survival of film has nothing to do with stills. Besides the fact that BW photography film will probably always be around as an artistic tool the life of color film, at least Kodak color film is entirely dependent on movies. For Kodak photography film is a side thing, it’s a fraction of their film sales and their production. They couldn’t keep their production going with photography film alone because even now, after it’s been scaled down to a minimum, and sales have quadrupled, it would be impossible for them to make it at that scale. Kodak makes basically all their money from film manufacturing with motion picture film. Even a small indy film that doesn’t do many takes and shoots on 16mm goes through more film than the most insane professional film photographer. Just in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic the big Hollywood studios singed another contact with Kodak to shoot and release a minimum of movies on film. Big Hollywood movies, indy films, TV shows, international movies, art projects, and commercials are still shot on film every day. And while it’s no where near where it was when film was the only option, it is still enough for Kodak to make a profit on film now. Something they haven’t done for a decade. With Nolan, PTA, and Tarantino burning through massive amounts of film every three year with them still watching film dailies the question whether color film will survive does not lie with still photographers but with movie directors. Because they are the ones who can really push for the use of film on a large enough scale. And so far things have been extremely stable the last three years.

im growing with each of your videos, i found a big inspirations in them. thanks, i hope i will be still watching your videos in 1, 5, 10, 20 years to improve even more!

Wow! This was so good! not only loving the world in your videos but I love the products you talk about.

My man. You have the best camera/ lens stories in KZfaq. Don’t understand how you are not at 5M subs already. Been a subscriber since the early days. Keep this coming. !

i saw the gauges and now i need one of these in my life, I also ADORE your videos so much

You always motivate me to just go a and shoot! Your videos are my favorite on KZfaq!

I worked in a camera shop back in 2004. The boss bought one of these as a demo model for professional photographers. It was amazing. Ive always wanted one. But literally forgot the name and brand of this incredible camera. The LCD at the time was absolutely out of this world. Epson where making some incredible screens for products back then. Love this camera. I had assumed it was a fuji and it evolved into the X series. Having forgotten it was Epson. Thank you for bringing this back into my life ❤

Masterful cinematics and photography, happy to be your patron, Gx!

All these Detroit shots go hard! As a Metro Detroit I'm so stoked. Love your style, these videos are always so enjoyable.

Your production is insane man, you are the top 1 of my references. Thanks for inspiration.

Man, I'm STOKED you focused a whole episode to this beauty! I truly wish analogue dials were more common :( Another 11/10 video brother!

I see a few popular KZfaqrs trying to follow your concept in showcasing reviews. They haven’t said anything about you but it was clear as day where they got the inspiration from. Man, you really changed the game.

Another masterpiece! Thank you GX for this are videos and to show us unknown cameras like this

Your work always goes above and beyond. Your my inspiration when it comes to making content on youtube

Bought one yesterday after watching this video. Thanks for the inspiration, I have the feeling this is gonna be my all time favourite camera. The image quality is just amazing and it’s so much fun to use.

Been waiting for a new GXAce video to the point that I was binge watching his videos all day🎉

First-time channel viewer and obviously instant sub 👏👏👏 - Images, cinematography and narrative all SO ace. Beautiful editing - but how did the images look sooc? Love your work thank you for sharing

This is straight up incredible! For the film-like point & shoot experience I want to throw the Contax TVS Digital into the ring. I love using this with the viewfinder only. It looks and feels like a film point & shoot and the results are quite pleasing.

Aaaaaaaa, your freaking genius! This style, these shots, movement, color - I’m so envious, I want to be as talented as you. WOW

Amazing effort! Love your work Cas!

Never heard of this channel until today. Was not expecting an actual film like this. Badass

When I subscribed to your channel, you had about 20K subscribers. Now you're nearing 200K. That makes me really happy. Cheers! //Rick

Such a nice video again! Love your content! I was waiting quite a while for this obe to come out and it was worth waiting! Love the vibe. It inspires me to go out and.... clickclickclick!!!

I love that my brain forgot everything on it when i saw a new vid from you, it takes alot of skill to be this good

Cant wait for you to do an xt5 review. Your xt3 review is still one if my fav vids i constantly go back to. The cinematography and music choice is perfect.

nobody does what you do, so innovative in your vision! wow -- and I learn about unique cameras, thanks, I've spent some $$ on Ebay because of you!!! :)

You’re production value is over level 9000!!!!! I love your videos I wish you made them all the time

Epson R-D1 Prices ⬆

I was waiting to come this camera on this channel... REALLY LOVE IT !!!!!

I am always surprised by the quality of your production. It really amazes me to no end. I hope some rich people people are eventually lucky enough to both find and fund your art and vision.

Last night I checked to see if a new video had been posted and how long it had been since the previous one. These certainly take time to produce, especially among many demands on his time. And then this evening - a new video! I have an R-D1s and it is quite wonderful in its own way.

Quality is king! Very nice work Gx

Fuji should add the mechanical shutter reset lever of this camera (film wind style) as a feature of the next XPro, keeping the back flip down screen , of course. It would be amazing.

2nd video I've watched from this guy, you don't even have to care about cameras, great production, you sir are an artist

Oh wow GxAce did a remake! Really cool to see how your style and skills have evolved

You really take excellent photos of Downtown Detroit! Thanks for the video 😎

Gx has to be the only filmmaker in the youtube space who's work is actually insanely good!!

I am weeping over here, the cinematography, the form, the camera itself. It's gorgeous

Wow these photos are incredible - this seems to have colours unlike any other digital camera. What you said at the end about a camera that is more fun to use Vs a camera that is technically superior is so true - that's why I've gone back to the old Ricoh gr II over the GR IIIx. You should review a Ricoh camera btw, I think you could get some amazing results with customising their image presets, especially the older GR/GR II.

Magnificent work as always my friend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing, how you don’t have minimum 4 mil subs is a crime. Gonna buy your presets 🤙

Your videos always leave me speechless. Thank you.

The increase in quality from your original video is insane. Keep it up

I find so much inspiration in your videos.

The quality of your videos is insane man! 🔥

Great video! Pretty unique camera, really impressive.

Nicely done video! I still have a Canon F1 film camera & Contax N1 film camera that I will never sell. These cameras are still working perfectly, since the day that I bought them.

Cannot tell you how long I’ve been waiting for another GxAce video! Soooo good

Amazing! Simply great Casey!

Glad I still have mine. Awesome video!

I get more excited for a new GX video than for almost any new movie release. This one is great! The new mask is SO COOL! I think I counted at least five times that a phot was so good I actually went "ohhhhhh" out loud. Love it!

Very imaginatively put together.

Why do I keep watching videos about camera gear I have absolutely no interest in ever knowing anything about. Yet, here i am again. You're a legend, dude!

You need to make a full feature film bro. Your content is off the hook !

Underated content, looking forward to the future.

Oh man!! you video is absurdly good and stunning!

It almost pisses me off to see how good you are with everything related to making cinematic videos... congrats again for another great looking and sounding short movie...

This is probably the greatest intro to a KZfaq video I’ve ever seen. This whole video is a masterpiece.

damn, the bar has been raised once again for camera content

the production value of your videos is insane man keep it up!

Incredible production value. Good as any feature film! Wow!

What a video , very nice! 😄👏 Prices of the RD1 will be up more thanks to this video 😆

Good day gx ace. Please do consider selling your videos luts as well. The opening scene was insane

This is an absolute masterpiece and such a pleasure to watch. That first scene "I was there, the day film died" gave me chills. Absolutely sublime film making.

This isn’t a review. This is a brilliant award worthy dystopian future epic. I mean seriously, my god. This was the best “review” I’ve ever seen. I was enthralled by it the entire time. Frick, man. Bravo. Subbed and looking forward to all of your content from here on out.

I'm in awe. Wonderful stuff man, keep it up!

This Video have "The 2nd law: Unsustainable"by Muse vibes. Amazing as always, wish you only success!

This channel is so far ahead of its time! I wonder how familiar you (the creator) are with After Effects? Looks like there are some really nice and subtle vfx edits

I just recently picked up an R-D1! There's also the S (basically the same but with a firmware upgrade) and the X which can support up to 32gb cards I think. This is one of my favorite cameras and I brought it to Thailand instead of my RX1RII and had no regrets. Was harder to get a good photo, but the photos that came out well were spectacular right out of the camera. The 1.5 crop factor did force me to go with a 21mm lens just to get closer to a 35mm looking frame, and there's a slight slight vignetting but all just minor inconveniences.

I feel like I just watch a movie! This was AMAZINGLY shot and edited! 👏

It never gets any less exciting seeing one of your videos! I can't believe nobody's making a modern r-d1, fuji seems to be the only ones trying lmao

It's not everyday I get chills from a camera review.

sound design is off the charts, amazing work-
