This is peak camera nerd content and I'm here for it.

[chinookskier]

Been watching this video and noticed right from the beginning that this guy is sincere and one of the world's best speakers / explainers that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

What ever this guys sells...

[burgunbeerd]

I've loved your new studio background but always wanted it sliiiightly blurrier. So I am very happy you spent $12, 000 to achieve this

[williamsparkes]

For those of us over 60 you make the tech stuff a little easier to understand. Great presentation, useful information, and just genuinely having fun (with the apropos Canadian slightly dry self-deprecating sense of humor). Appreciate the effort you make. Best wishes...

[AlexanderTheFirstMate]

Gerald undone in my eyes, is the national treasure of Canada.

[nickl]

I'm Gerald Undone and at this point I don't even need my teleprompter for the Storyblocks piece.

[iSuperMC]

This is Gerald’s way of flexing on all of us. I respect it

[themichaelgraeme]

Thank you Gerald for doing the R&D for an idea I had no access of testing myself!

[keaganvandemerwe]

I swear I can spend hours just listening to gerald just nerd out about cameras and I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

[CompleteGeekTV]

We’ve been shooting all our stuff with the A1 on 8k into the Ninja V “down sampling” to 4K since you posted your discovery of the feature on Instagram! So far this has been awesome and insanely sharp! It has also allowed us to crop the end result 4K quite a bit for some product reviews with amazing results!!

[joseguadamud]

I love this kind of content. The update feels like a vlog for all us tech geeks and I love it. It feels more fun and less pushy to get new gear.

[anthonycostantini]

Gerald I just like listening to you talk about nerdy camera stuff, keep it up.

[theminiondude]

I love your content is so nerdy, technical and someone who has genuine concern for every pixel. I love it.

[CalumDavies]

Jared: this video is in 8k
Me watching in a 1080p monitor: yeah you would be like that

[basdenchris]

I for one would love to see a ton more of this type of video from you, Gerald. I like the deep dive technical stuff, but there’s a bit more of your personality in this one and I’m here for it.

[demiphotomode]

NGL, I love these types of videos. Here's hoping you make these once every month or so.

[winkcreativeedinburgh]

The worst thing i've found with my A1 is that I want 2 of them!!

[aidanleenstra]

Actually super nice to see you doing something you clearly enjoy.
Really comes across that you genuinely enjoyed making this video.

[THEHumanExperience]

Great analysis! Interesting how the skin tones have improved, even though there is less than a year between the A7SIII and A1! Also, I really appreciated your quick focus breathing showcase, between the 35mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.4 GM! Great work, as always :)

[WasionKey]

also, i love the freestyle format of this video.
