"The technology is there to serve the idea" is the best one line summation of this concept I have ever heard, and I haven't even finished the video. Well done.

On the other hand, this means abundance of older cameras found on the used market as people are wanting to get rid of their old gear. 🎉 Better prices for the budget photographers 😁

[triplewinlin]

Imagine asking a chef what pot they used? Or asking a carpenter what hammer they used? It is the skill of the user in photography, not the camera.

"its in camera companies best interest to trick you and market false hope to you" meanwhile the entire video is to market your course 😭💀

I learned a long time ago that a camera is just a light, tight box that stores the media. The most important thing is having the right lens

[jimzielinski]

Well said. You present an important message to anyone who needs tools for any pursuit.
Decades ago, when i was a student, i taped over the brand names of my "inferior" tools. People stopped approaching me to give advice.
The specs i did obsess over were directly related to what i was trying to accomplish. Sometimes i spent more then i wanted to. I was always thrilled when i found a budget product that got the job done. (Im speaking as a life long hobbyist.)

This is pretty well said, we shot commercials on the Panasonic GH1 14 years ago that still look great today, people who care about specs or brand are usually people who have a complex they hide behind the gear instead of improving their technique and going out to experiment, have fun.

Auto companies don't want you to know that.... expensive car will not make you better driver.

One thing I like about old videos over 10 years old, is the scenery and fashions in the background Thank god the background wasn’t blurred out back then even little things like the price on old labels make the videos.

True!!! I've shot on a 8mp dslr and the image made it to a magazine cover!

[Forrest-Jackson]

Thank you for this reminder- It's easy to forget what I'm doing and why... this applies to instruments, power tools, electronics, boats, etc....

Love this. Just bought a Canon R50 w/kit lens after not owning a camera since the GL 20 years ago. Picked up a couple of used lenses, a 24 and 50 and a Meike EF S mount. I spent $800 for all of it. I've got a 4K camera now were I can get some different looks and thats all I need. It's how you use it and yes good subject matter and story telling is huge.

I use a Fujifilm XP-200, and I learned how to photograph with it, and learned how to operate it. No matter the camera learning how to operate it, adjust it and little tricks that are unique to every camera.

Very good points for someone like me who is too caught up on gear

[sa.t.]

Cheat on your cameras, marry your lenses.

[rotbart]

Thank you for sharing the message! This is an excellent take, the point you're making is very important. Beginner photographers do need to be reminded of this.
A camera is pretty much like a guitar. Buying a more expensive guitar doesn't make you a better musician. Any well-tuned guitar will do if you know how to play, and if you really put your heart into the music you're playing.
Thanks from Ukraine!

I really can’t see why camera companies “wouldn’t want you to know that”. I’m an intermediate amateur with OK but not stupid expansive kit. I think everyone at my level and a lot below appreciate what you said and do not feel mugged off by camera manufacturers. The law of diminishing returns applies to many product categories such as hi-if, watches etc but people still spend mega money on them, not because they need features but because they want them.

[TewaAya]

For action/high movement scenes, the sensor readout is essential. Anything else with higher mp is just needing the details like prints/reference images/composition. It's pretty hard to view a shaky camera and jittery composition watching the whole movie.

Two couples.

First couple host a dinner. Wife of second couple admires all of the photographs everywhere. 'Wow' she says 'you must have a very good camera.'

A couple of weeks later the second couple are hosting dinner. Man in first couple says 'that dinner was delicious, thank you. You must have a very good oven.'

Funnily enough today I dug out my Nikon D70 and 35-70 F2.8. You could probably buy both for $100 now. Was amazed at what shots that combo could take. Lovely warm feel, very flattering for people / animals etc.

Anyway, excellent vid, thank you.

Oh yes, I'm a coachbuilder by trade and you often find the very best people have the least (and oldest) gear, whereas those that just buy more and more (and more) kit just don't have that fundamental feel for the craft and have fallen into the same trap: if only I had the right / newest / most expensive then I could achieve the right result. Nope, skills first, gear folllows.

People forget about the 2000's when people started making movies on digital video cameras. There was a doc on this called Side By Side with Keanu Reeves.
