Hi Kai, l don't comment very often but thought I'd just say it's a total pleasure seeing you and Lok still doing videos together after all these years, I followed DRTV for years until you guys left, (it wasn't the same after) I'm so happy you are both doing so well with your new YouTube Channel, you guys still deliver unique hilarious content that no other reviewers do, please keep up the amazing work 👍😂😁

I’m happy this camera exists! I don’t need it, not going to buy it, but the more new film cameras, the longer I get to shoot film.

Props to anyone bringing a new film camera to shops

“building greener pastures when the old ones are still crumbling” that’s deep

[BriManeely]

While I realize this camera is almost exclusively designed for new shooters, and I'm sad I don't have room for this in my arsenal, I'm glad it exists! This is unabashedly designed for social media shooters with a VERY low bar for entry, but why not? That camera didn't exist before.. I hope this gets them into the game!

Pentax had make 110, 35mm, 645, 6x7 film cameras. But it is Pentax’s first half frame film camera

[comandreja]

It's a great entry back in to film. Excited to to see the next camera they make

[khashayarr]

Jaded gear-heads complaining about young people being enchanted by charm instead of precision is always funny! Let people enjoy things!

[tsellsseashells]

They should make another film GR call it a GR1X with a 40mm lens

Why is it that every youtuber thats reviewd this camera today has complained about the portrait orientation and said its because of social media? Have none of you ever seen a half frame camera before ? Theyre all in portrait orientation. Even h/f cameras from the 1930s

[hfiguiere]

10:51 That idea of using the next half frame in context is really nice.

[KitBetts-Masters]

Take that Jarod. Banger after banger in this video Kai.

[FelixCervantes]

Those that are complaining about the half frame size forget that this is close to Super 35mm format used by Hollywood and those images were expanded to fill a movie theater.

[DokukuDreams]

One of the funniest videos from you two in recent history. Had me howling at parts. Cameras alright too

[davedeluxe]

its nice to see a major company trying to do something different and new. But you can't please everyone I guess.

[henrymach]

I never thought I'd see the phrase 'new film camera' in 2024. And it's a half frame like my old Olympus Pen

[no_b_roll]

I was indifferent at first; cool, new film camera, that’s nice, not for me though. Then he ends with it costing ~$715 US. You could buy a pretty nice used film camera for that price!

[huggleton]

One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Kai is his ability to pick a subject or location that he can then use to draw analogies between it and the camera he’s reviewing

[Mindartcreativity]

I hate this camera already. Ah well, hopefully influ-cancers will stop buying the X100V/VI and jump on to this😂

[OldGuyWithaCamera]

For that money you could get an original Olympus Pen FT half frame and two or three lenses. Through the lens viewfinder, metal body, real focusing, aperture control, and genuine retro design!!!
