Thanks! You saved me from buying this camera on eBay in 2024.

thx, keep going! ;)

Congrats on the Sprinter. You will love it.

Very practical tests. Excellent video. Thank you for making it.

i use the video mic go ii. Any idea how to get rid of hissing or white noise in these?

I want to buy a camera to start and I'm in doubt between 7D and 40D. I don't want a current one because I want to learn from an entry level first.

Thanks for the great video. Have you noticed the levels of your metering tools changing while adjusting your brightness or contrast on the monitor itself? Not sure if I have a faulty unit or not but mine suffers from this issue. Waveform, false color, histogram shift up and down while adjusting brightness/contrast. Can't judge exposure reliably this way!!

I hadn’t even thought about how mics sound with water. Thank you thank you thank you!

What size bladder fits in the bag?

I was out in a light shower, camera on a Peak designs shoulder strap with the lens (70-200) facing downwards. Camera was being lightly rained on and the viewfinder fogged up. Not sure if water was getting in to the viewfinder or just because of the temperature change?

There is a great, authentic energy to your videos.

I was looking forward to this video - love Outback Oz! Thanks for taking us on your trip, Derek. Loved the scenery, birds, rock wallabies and flowers. Pouring rain on Mt Sonder and dry riverbed, Todd. - love the contrasts. A rugged landscape but beautiful - just like life. Sending warmest wishes. Cheers

was just looking for some info on this camera but i gotta tell you: this was the most entertaining and useful equipment video i’ve seen in years 🫡

I'm so sorry Derek.

Hey, a lot of that doesn't look too different from Arizona! Deserts are wild, and the weather can be a roll of the dice sometimes; all part of the adventure, right? And, bingo, you found the Black-footed Rock Wallabies! And so many wicked awesome birds, absolutely beautiful pics. This looks like an epic adventure. Happy birthday, Mr. Hilton. Thank you for all the great adventures and filming tips over the years! God bless.

Happy birthday 🎉

great vid mate looks likeyou had a great time 😃

Hi 👋 enjoyed watching.

Honesty appreciated!

THANK YOU

Oh Derek, Whats happened to your KZfaq channel. I used to really enjoy watching your gear reviews and your Vlogs of your photographic adventurs. I used to look forward to the next one coming. What a shame. 😞

Can you not use the LCD and the monitor at the same time?

These cameras are duds. Get a canon cinema camera, you will be alot happier.

Looking forward to the Larapinta trail! Have a great time.

Happy trails on the Larapinta! Maybe you'll see a Black-footed Rock Wallaby or a Wedge-tailed Eagle! Great to see your happy group! 😎

Nice cheerful hiking group!!! Can't wait to 'join you' on the Larapinta Trail. How exciting - a wonderful part of the world! Look forward to all the footage & hope that little creature 'dunnart or antechinus' pops out in front of you. Best travels! cheers

Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge of Lyrebirds. I found the information you presented incredibly useful and love your respect for wildlife. I will apply your knowledge to my quest to get a better photo of one of these amazing birds.

Great review. Canon is a real let down.

The best mic review! Thank you!!!

Здравствуйте. Подскажите какой штатив вы используете с xf400? Я новичок в этом деле) решил уточнить, так как не разбираюсь.

Nice review. @1149 I saw a shot showing the monitor and the camera screen both on. How did you do this. Most info tells Canon doesnot offer this option

Boring video

Good scenery, outdoors and good company. Super!!

So happy to see you having fun with what seems a great bunch.

would you recommend iPhone for instagram

Hi Derek, Good to see the progress on the van. Nice video mix of birds and the YFA! Will enjoy watching your mystery hike!! That's the best way to hike - free from carrying all your gear!!

Thanks for the video, this has really helped me!

Couldn't agree more about people imposing their music on everyone else. It's just selfish bad manners and there's nothing "grumpy" in pointing that out. Love the van Derek!

Derek, great video. Zamberlans are best boots made- period. I am 62 and grew up in Colorado using many types of boots, but it wasn't until I moved to Delaware USA that I finally bought a pair like yours, and also bought the Tofanes. I hike hundreds of miles every year and don't take care of my boots that well, BUT, I have no problems. They are waterproof and incredibly comfortable, I actually was in a 36-mile hike in one day and ran a bit during it, and never got a blister, even though the boots were only a few weeks old. Everyone I know that owns a pair of Zamerlan's LOVEs them. Thanks again. Cheers!

G'day Derek, I was at Winton wetlands on that weekend in the chance I could see you,I saw your new van at the green Hill camp site all locked up, couldn't find you anywhere, too many people everywhere I went, people yelling at kangaroos just so they could get a photograph of them bounding away with their phone camera and also other people with dogs which is a nono, so in the end I called it a day and went home, I usually visit Winton during the week--nobody but me ,looking forward to seeing your van updates, cheers 🍻

Another great video. The van is coming along nicely! Amazing to see the drinking dew in the morning shots!

Great vidd mate good to catch up again😎

Nothing worse than people partying like that. I hope they cleaned up after themselves.

Go Derek! I am a bit late looking at this video; those little antechinus are looking after you, aren't they and providing some entertainment. Love the images of the Willy-wagtail annoying the roo; they are very cheeky little guys. Plan B seems OK and having an income is great. Take it easy out there.

Thanks for sharing your personal story Derek. I am glad being out in nature, helps you with your healing.

Sweet little critters but with a voracious appetite for caterpillars and whatever comes their way. I enjoyed watching the video. Your 4 star luxury van is a great asset; I hope the refit is going well. On the way out of the wetlands recently, I photographed a male Scarlet Robin and 4 females. Looking for the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Cheers H

Great work Cuz

I use both as well. Canon R5c, Sony fx6, Red Komodo, xf605 and DJI Ronin 4d 8K. After being in business for 35 years, I have a diverse clientele. And several clients have broad needs where I’m on a cinema camera one moment and the xf605 the next.

You are a camera Shaman

Hi Derek, would you recommend any good camcorder ? Maybe Canon or Panasonic ? Which is at the moment best to buy ? What about Canon XA 70 ?
