👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you 🙏🏻🇮🇳
What a superb inspirational video! Thank you so much for making it.
I started with the Fuji F7000 (basically a mirrorless camera). From there I moved on to Nikon d70, then used smartphones to return to Nikon d5300 as I missed being able to zoom really in and have good pictures. When I saw a deal, I bought the Nikon z50. But, after some use, I sold it last week to buy a used Nikon d780 that had less than 5000 shots. Why? Because I like the feeling of the real viewfinder, not the tele in the viewfinder. In addition, the camera has very good video features. And I can use my older lenses without starting from zero. I agree that the 51 focus points are all in the middle of the optical viewfinder. I think Nikon partially intended this camera as an upgrade for APS-C photographers (like I was) because, when you have an APS-C lens on the d780, the whole DX frame is filled with the focus points. Disadvantage: I lose many pixels, and thus smaller pictures.
This is so awesome, well-done Jacques. Truely inspiring. As a frustrated Wanna-Be photographer, I totally appreciate the work you do. I am a little better at sitting behind a desk, admin is a bitch - you will get there.
I've been capturing images for decades. My first 35mm camera was the Olympus OM10 ( a real newbies camera), & thereafter, graduated to the OM1N - it still shoots fantastic images, & in fact I won a photographic competition with it ( a proud moment). Over the years I've amassed a collection of SLR Nikons, lenses, as well as two DSLR's (also Nikon)...I haven't transitioned to Mirrorless - I consider the technology is still in its adolescence with that format. I'm a massive B & W film stock fan - Ilford - try Pan F ISO 50 for long exposures, Agfapan APX ISO 25 - if you can get hold of it still in date; even if you cannot, it's still very usable, but on the pricier side. Kodak TMAX 3200 for ultimate graininess - it's not actually 3200 but designed to be pushed for that gritty aesthetic. I've used this film to turn back the clock of London to the Second World War Blitz (obviously, excluding any modern day imagery, so I focus (sic) on churches, Edwardian/Georgian architecture, parks etc). For myself, Monochrome rules. Approximately, one in thirty thousand individuals across the globe are only able to see in monochrome - & that's mostly men - everyone else possess both colour & B & W light sensitive cells on their retinas. Consider translating all the colour you see on any, one given day into greyscale - & retaining that ability whilst out & about with your analogue camer; it took me a few months, in my callow youth to train my brain....now, I still retain that monochromatic aptitude when required, & it makes such a difference to my compositions. I do like your presentation style, so I've subscribed. Keep on keeping on.... Aindriu (Andrew)
Nice presentation of a really interesting camera!
Love this video! Quick question that no one is addressing. Does the sony zv-e10 cage fit the new sony zv-e10ii?
Because the cameras are different sizes unfortunately the ZV-E10 cage is not compatible with the ZV-E10II. We do have ZV-E10II cages arriving soon though!
If only it had image stabilization 😢
it has
It may not have a traditional IBIS system however the active stabilization mode is brilliant and when paired with the new 16-50 OSS lens you won't have any trouble with getting stable shots handheld. I managed to get super stable footage using my non OSS 24mm 1.4GM while using active stability mode. And if you know what you're doing, pairing all of this with a stabilizer in your editing suite (personally I use Da Vinci) then you will have even better stabilization! So there are a lot of work arounds 😁
What was the testing camera? Sony A1?
Fuji Filme sind generell top ! Nur die Labore versauen alles,das grosse übel Weltweit !
I'm glad Canon listened after all the R5 reviews and fixed mostly all the issues eg edges wobble, overheating, proxy card recording, full HDMI, ext monitor simultaneous rec, Cinema profiles , SLog2, etc. Now this R5 mk2 can confidently compare with the likes of Sony when it comes to video.
Couldn't agree more! We'll be getting out in the field with shooting units in no time!
Gonna get it, the moment the price drop❤
I think its very refreshing that Canon in the midst of all the competetion have chosen to refine perfection rather rhan reinvent. It underlies a powerful confidence from the brand but more importanty it doesnt age the 1st generation versions so you left feeling sidelined. Thats important for those that have invested big previously
Totally, we're loving what Canon are doing at the moment!
What are they retailing for?
the R5 II would be close to R90k and about R140k for the R1
As of today: R5MkII is going for R89,995 ($4 889) R1 is going for R139,995 ($7 605)
Hi! Great video! I like your photos btw
Thanks for watching!
Seems like YT is only about EGO polishing and gear discussion instead of photography. For the topic: Film is by no means technically better, the problem is people do not want to learn how to make proper pictures … this is why I go to photography school again….
It's better in the way that it forces a user to be more considerate with their work.
Which is better the SL3 or the Sony Alpha 1
For my personal style of shooting (Hybrid content creation, stills, video etc.) I would go for an Alpha 1 but I imagine for a portrait/stills focused photographer an SL3 would be a great choice.
@@OrmsTV Ok thank you
I'm an old guy who got back into film photography after a three decade hiatus several years ago (I developed my first roll of film in 1966) and I have certainly made just about every mistake in the book. Regarding accidental tripping of the shutter there is one camera I have which has a different, although related problem. My Mamiya Universal is a camera in which it is all too easy to make accidental double exposures as there is no interlock between film advance and cocking the shutter. Each must be done separately. So in this case I advance the film as soon as I have tripped the shutter, but I wait till I'm ready to take another exposure before I cock the shutter. Oh, and I have to remember to take the dark slide out of the film back before using (and putting it back in before changing the lens or removing the back! I've made both those mistakes). It's a beast of a camera but I love it. So I guess an additional rule is "learn the idiosyncrasies of your cameras!"
Since you are talking about editing it would be great to have the names of the editors of each film you are using as an example instead of only the director and the dop. Editors are an essential part of the creative process so we need to know who they are.
Have any firmware updates addressed these 'issues' 3 years later for the Z5?
Tamron qc is notorious
Just love this Lens ...Took it to the Woodlands of NC USA it nail the focus on a quick small warblers with 2x Telconverter and still razor sharp . Kepps details better in Long distance shots for ID shots of a Seabirds who often are far out ...Both 1.4 and 2.0 TC works and i can not see much diff in sharpness.Super fast lens and focus much faster then my old 300mm f2.8 and even usable for great landscapes shots..Just love it and i have the RF800mm F11 which is quite nice in the right Light cond and also the 100-500mm but this Lens is the winner as the background and foreground blur makes the Object you are shooting outstanding ...Wurth it ? for me it is Yes as like you said in your Video sitting in and drive ferrari this is a good Compair as it feels nice to work with this lens and it is super solid weather sealed and ready for a rough situation ...I just love it i got the only one in Iceland so far and here the Summer lights are nice but we have short period of light and in the autumn and winter it is very lack of light so f2.8 + high ISO makes it easier for me and btw i use it with Canon R 6 Mark II and put a Battery grip on it as it works faster with two batteries as the second focus motor does not get enough energy from one batteri
I have some great ideas to make some fantastic videos including some extracts from some music tracks . Just need someone to help with videography and special effects in the East Midlands area if anyone interested to put these ideas into reality. 😉🇬🇧
Interesting how soft the Sony was in comparison, kinda contradicts what people have found in controlled test.
Say prime for 600 f6.3 and save 6 syllables. Say zoom for 180-600 and save another 6. Cut your video down by a few minutes and make it easier for your audience to follow.
Hello, I have understood that the Atem Television Studio 4K8 Overview does not record the 8 ISO sources in 4K, it seems logical to me due to the process that I would have to do!! But my question is, does it have the ISO function in case the sources are all in HD? Thank you !!
nah ektar is nothing at all it is the best hands, go take the risk and do it anyway cant even compare to any other film on the planet
Fak, this was power packed.
Happy grading!
Thank you for your review. I just bought this lens here in Brazil. Your information was important for my decision.
We're so glad to have been able to help! Subscribe for more!
Very good. Hermano Machado, from Brazil.
Cool video but majorly overhating dslrs… I’m a mirrorless shooter but dslr era was fun. Great ergonomics, infinite battery life, durable and extremely reliable, and the viewfinder is real life not just another screen 🤷♂️
Totally, and the history of the DSLR will always be there - we often use old SLR film cameras which have that classic and satisfying mirror 'slap' that you just don't get with mirrorless cameras! Happy shooting!
I read several reviews the Tamrons physical makeup is inferior to Sigma. The zoom is noisy and the manual focus isn't smooth? Also Sigma is smaller and lighter on the lenses you showed?
While of course each manufacturer will come with their own advantages and disadvantages - the optical quality produced by Tamron lenses is superb, especially for a creator on a budget!
Does anyone know what happened to Bryn?
A sales man pretending to know what photography or leica is
Actually, Deon has multiple Leica cameras of his own including an M10 and Q2 and our team are extremely well versed in Leica products. some of our staff have shot on the old school G.O.A.T Leica M6 35mm film camera. Whilst D might be a salesman, he is an extreme fan of Leica especially the M system.
Where did you get the shirt that says EOS R5?
They were supplied by Canon 😁
I thought backlight was the nemisis of all PF lenses.
❤👍 i am glad to see a man who is not crying, like a baby, that the SL2/3 is too heavy. Fantastic review. I will by it next year - at first i need some more Leica glass. Greets from germany, Carsten from the marode Villa Petersberg
Hope you enjoy it!
❤❤❤. Greets from germany. Carsten, Villa Petersberg
Fantastic review. I just got mine in the mail recently but haven’t had a chance to use it yet.
You're going to absolutely love it!
I love my SL3. A bigger upgrade than I expected. I have been using my SL2 since it was released and the SL3 was a much bigger upgrade than expected and I love it.
what is the best/biggest upgrade in your opinion? is the AF really that much better or still lagging behind Sony and Canon.
@@ledoov Being that I do not do video and have never needed auto focus. The focus has been greatly improved. Will not track birds like a Sony or Nikon. I use to shoot some sports back in the day on Film with my R8 and a manual focus 400APO 2.8. Just have to understand the sport you are photographing and know where to be. I found the Canon to behind the Sony and The new Nikons in auto focus. The color science is wonderful.. I had problems with the M11 and color, however the color on the SL3 is wonderful. The overall ease of use and handling is real nice. I did not really think the slight bump in resolution would have the impact it has. When I print the files at 24"x36" and 40"x60" a real difference in the total pop of the images. Now they just need to release this a monochrom and I will be set.
The Autofocus is a huge improvement for sure, of course it's hard to compete with Canon and Sony's AI autofocus but as a stills camera the SL3's autofocus is incredible!
I love the original SL601 out of camera and I am looking forward to seeing the results from the newest version. What I find interesting is the collaboration with Sigma and that to improve autofocus you really need a second company to help to speed up the process.
Can you give us some info on freezing issues? Did you have any? Thx.
I've used mine heavily for the last 4 weeks and I haven't had a freezing issue.
Can't say we have, we are in the same boat as @BrandonTalbot. This Leica has performed immensely well!
The same goes for the SL2. Colours out of camera are amazing. No editing required just touchup work to skin and photos are ready to be delivered. As photographer I feel like I’m not doing my job when I’m delivering images that that require no colour corrections.
Totally agree
any body want to buy me one, include with the 24-70 lens and 100-400 lens? let me know!! You must be a very very rich and good person.
One of the best Camera reviewer on youtube!
Thank you!
0:19 A ridiculously-looking body
I think she is beautiful. If you are talking about the camera it is also beautiful.
Ridiculously robust body the construction feels top notch!
If you want a Sony sensor, buy a Sony camera, which is better, and doesn't carry the Leica ripoff price
This camera is more than it's sensor alone. That would be like knocking Apple for using monitors made by LG - there's more to an Apple computer the its monitor alone, the same goes for the Leica SL3. and every SL3 is crafted with precision and attention to detail in Wetzlar, Germany.
Overpriced leica-shit. Better choice buy some other brand pro camera. Costs more less and you can buy also some glass. And better quality pictures.
I’m not knocking other camera brands (I have 5 Leica cameras, several Nikon SLRs + DSLRs, and a Canon DSLR, and I’m thinking of getting a mirrorless Nikon for long telephoto work), but Leica makes excellent cameras and lenses. They also use a different design philosophy than other manufacturers do: simpler body design (fewer buttons) and menus, which I prefer.
But these do not show the "Leica" writing.
Other camera companies don't attract trolls as well as Leica.
@@carlstawicki1915 thats not troll😂😂👍. You ownself get triggered about my comment😂 thats not my fault😂😂🤷♂️
Overpriced? Yes. Shit? A resounding no.
An incredible camera, to say the least, some of the best colours I've ever seen straight out of camera!
Agreed.
