2:43 oh 😂 when I had an EOS 350d I also preferred P Mode the first 4 yrs and also referred to this mode 'the professional mode' 😅😅😅

Hi Matti, thank you for showing all of your Cameras and Lenses. I hope you will have a nice travel and I will look forward to your future content.

Change can be a very positive thing. I feel it is many times a catalyst for getting out of our ‘ruts’ which can stifle creativity — we fall into the”That is the way I’ve always done it” mentality, which is not a good thing.
I’m looking forward to your posts from Malaysia. Safe travels!

Thanks Matti for your usual honesty, modesty and clearness. I hope people who cannot shoot one picture if it is under 60 MP will watch this video. Bon courage with moving house. Bonne chance with your travel. From Helsinki, you cannot go very far North, so I assume it will be South. Very wise for a Finn in this season. I was a tiny bit surprised that you only showed digital cameras. Is film a thing of the past for you?

Thanks for sharing Matti..enjoyed the light content! Wishing you safe travels!

Great to see your previous camera that you are still using. Keeping this old camera means you still like them.

I always enjoy talking gear with photographers, thanks for sharing your story. At the time I jumped on the digital camera train was when CMOS sensors came to the forefront, depending on the lens was like playing with different film types. Lots and lots of cameras, but never preferring single lens cameras - until.. the Ricoh GRiii X. I agree, for EDC, it’s the thing and always with me.

Good morning Matti from the Hudson river valley of New York State, during the 15 plus years that I have been involved in digital photography I have collected a wide variety of cameras and glass, .i have never sold any of my cameras during this time and i use them for different purposes, during the time that I photographed events I had a bag set up with camera and lens just for this purpose, i also have bags set up with the different cameras from Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm and Pentax. I started digital photography with different Pentax DSLR's my first being a K100D super followed by K10d, Kr, K5 MKII, K3, K3 MKII and MKIII and a k1 MKII. Panasonic have S5, S5 MKII, FUJIFILM XT3, XT5 and XH2. Micro 4/3 Olympus OMD EM5 MKIII, OMD OM1 MKII AND MKIII. PANASONIC G9 AND G95 with prime and zoom lenses from Pentax, Panasonic, Olympus, Sigma and Viltrox. I will be passing on a Panasonic GH4 with a 12-35 f 2.8 and a Olympus 45 mm f 1.8 to a family member that is starting her career at a Airforce base here in the United states, i will slso donate some of my older DSLR'S to a local school.

Fantastic versatility in your lenses, no excess and lens comfortability is always better than having what others would call "the best". Great video!

[ShawnPerryVideoPhotoS]

This was great video and shows how professionals use the right tool for the right job. Thanks so much. Plus I feel a little less guilty for owning 3 cameras.

[StarrysLostandFound]

I love my Ricoh GR IIIx for edc. Thanks for the quick look at your current collection. All the best in upcoming move and future travels.

[Cthames]

Again thanks for sharing the tools in the photographer’s tool belt! You explained a little bit but I’m imagining there is something about each of the various cameras and lenses that you love that made you want to keep them. I’m interested in knowing about the compact Olympus XZ-1. This camera was released in 2011, so in 2023 there are 12 years of tech advancements. I know you had a ZV1 but got rid of it from your previous youtubes. Why go with the Olympus XZ-1 over the Somy ZV-1? The ZV-1 is every bit as small, great autofocus, shoots 4K video, has really good burst shooting(24fps), and a large 1in. sensor which should beat the XZ-1 in low light performance. Further, you can transfer photos to your phone with Sony’s imaging edge app, and stabilize shakey hand held video footage in post using Sony’s Catalyst browse software. You describe a certain indescribable magic from the XZ-1’s, nostalgic 1/1.63 in., CCD sensor but does this enchantment make one look past all this? Describe this magical enchantment?

40mm or equivalent is also my favourite angle of view. That's why I like the Lumix 20mm MFT so much, and why I bought a 28mm lens for my Pentax APSC DSLRs. I also own the Pentax 40mm pancake lens for my old Pentax MX film camera that I bought when I was 16 years old in 1980... I'd love to get the Ricoh GR3x as well, but for now I find it a little expensive...

[Cthames]

Thanks for sharing! Noticing you seem to favor smaller sizes, (XZ1, the Micro 4/3 cameras: Panasonic GF6, GX880, & Lumix GX9, & the APSCs: Ricoh GR IIIx, Sony A6700), and apart from your Viltrox lenses and Sigma 70mm macro those are all teeny tiny little lenses! Your youtubes seem to be more centered on street and nature walks. The selections seem easier to carry on extended walks.

[busydadscooking]

I was traveling to Texas for work so I just seeing this video. Neat to see what you have in your closet! Interesting to see that the gx880 is smaller than the gf6, I wish the 880 had been offered in US. I think I am about to buy a Lumix 20mm 1.7 myself. Interested to see the ccd photos from your kid's camera.

[danncorbit]

What and why you use for your photography is interesting. I do mostly wildlife and landscape, so I have different needs, but I try other genres of photography as well. So your mentions of "It works well for me" are quite appropriate. Just as a roofer has a different toolset than the framer and the electrician, they all are building houses and all of them are important. I don't think I could become a good street photographer because I always want to ask permission before I take anyone's picture.

[Cthames]

When discussing the Viltrox, 28mm, f1.8 (9:55) you compared it to the Sony, 28mm, f2.0 and said you didn’t like the Sony. I saw your youtube comparing the Sony 28mm, f2.0, to the fixed lens of the Leica Q series. You had a lot of nice things to say about the Sony 28mm, f2.0, so I’m disappointed hearing it didn’t actually work out, and that there are a lot of quality variations. I am a small lens fan also and was thinking about the Sony 28mm, f2.0, for a more compact setup for times I don’t want to shoot with my larger 24mm, f1.4 GM, “really nice lens”.

[andrisstanga]

An interesting collection of gear. I must admit, I have wondered often about the Ricoh, especially because it is so pocketable. But then I heard that it has a weakness in build quality. Maybe things improved... I am also tempted by the Sony 6700 as it would be great to make it the main camera alongside the 6400 I already have. My ideal setup is my 6400 with the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 zoom. Most of the time there is no need for anything else. It is so sharp that people often think I am using primes. In addition to that, you can focus much closer than expected and so have the additional bonus of macro photography without needing to go into a macro mode like I used to have to do with Tamron that I have sold on.

[MichaelGerrard]

I used to have the Lumix 14-42 PZ, I had a lens cap that worked automatically. It was great for travel. When I got the 12-32, I sold the PZ. Sometimes I wish I had kept it.
I am happy to see you hang on to your GX9, even if it is broken. Mine is working as new. It is an exceptional camera.
Did you try the 14-140? I haven't used the 12-60 but from the images it looks about the same size. With the 14-140 nothing is out of range. Mind you, recently I went on a trip and took your advice, I used mostly one lens, the Oly 17 f1.8. There is a feeling of freedom that comes from not using a zoom.

[clintjohnson]

Fun video Matti! It was great to see the Lumix GF-6 since I bought a GF-3 about 6 months ago because it came with the 14-42 power zoom --been wanting that lens for awhile. It is a fun run-around camera and I kind of like that old school "Klunk" noise it makes and the solid feel. Always enjoy your videos..Just curious if the newer Panasonic camera developments will bring you back to being a Micro 4/3 specialist again.. Good Luck in all--
