Matt's Notes

I'm a journalist with a love for photography, videography, and animation.

On this channel, we take a look at digital cameras both old and new, digital devices, tutorials, and much more related to the art of visual storytelling.

Above all, I want to show the world that gear isn't nearly as important as fundamentals. Like I always say, it's the composer, not the instrument.

Thanks for viewing, and stay awhile :)

    To be honest, I'm also tired of the race for crystal-clear focus and megapixels. I sold my FUJI XT-4 and X-pro2, and my Ricoh GRIII has been sitting in a drawer unused. All these cameras took incredible photos. But for the past year and a half, I've been shooting with the Nikon D800 + 85mm, and despite its weight, size, and lack of stabilization... I just love it. I'll probably switch to a 50mm as a golden mean, but I'll still carry this amazing camera with me. One important point: when I walked with the Fuji on my shoulder and bumped it against a wall, I worried about the camera. But when I bump my Nikon D800 against a wall, I worry about the wall-wondering if it got damaged!

    It's 12 Pixels when shouting in RAW, I should know I have 3 of them as one of them was modified to shoot IR shots, and also I have the S5Pro too. Love the models along with my Mirrorless Fuji's. Good Video.

    I still have a bunch of my old DSLR bodies and corresponding lenses. I love the feel and process of acquiring images through them as I have been shooting since ‘03. With that said, I couldn’t give up my newer mirrorless bodies that I use for my professional work. Nice video though

    I came here out of curiosity due to the fact there are a couple of them for sale at CEX in the UK for just £60 each. Which is pretty darn low for any useful camera... even one from 22 years ago.

    Awesome video!. I had my Nikon D810 for about 8 years and I have an itch deciding if I want to get a new Z mirrorless camera. but I have invested a lot of money on high end lenses already and I will not be gaining anything with a new system besides the new AF technology built into those cameras. I only shoot Portraits on location or in the studio and my D810 has always produce crisp sharp images. I think I will use it until it breaks.

    cant agree that these are great portrait cameras - skin tones are wild and cannot be edited to be accurate. unless..... that film like asthetic is what your looking for. not portra film more like kofak gold. imo thats why you buy these cameras, for the film like look that is far from the clinical colors of modern cameras. these 2 sensors made by sony are all over the place and the sony alpha series cameras utilize these sensors to similar effect but with different color science - i find them to be even worse for skin tones. but again that may be what you are looking for.

    Stumbled across the Digilux 1 earlier this year and was quite tempted to buy it but ultimately passed (it was the equivalent of 200 USD). Nice to see it in action, the blues and reds pop indeed! Its design is a bit of digicam heaven if you ask me, haha. But the Digilux 2 looks even better (need to find that one...cheap of course 😆).

    Nowadays, you can buy F-mount superb 'like new' lenses for 1/3 to 1/4 of the price of new ones. I bought a Nikon D850 and 2 Sigma Art lenses 'like new' for less than 2000.

  • @PitlordWeedsmurph

    I bought one a year ago for the equivalent of $80 here in Bulgaria since it has a bit of a hit and miss AF but that doesn’t matter since my whole Nikon lens collection is vintage glass. I used to have a d80 which even though is a great camera it was lacking in the ISO performance. I’ve been shooting the d600 in some terrible light conditions and I honestly can’t imagine needing to upgrade. It’s a beast of a camera for cheap.

    Seriously, you'd think that no professional could have ever taken a decent photograph before the days of autofocus and digital sensors. What nonsense, I'm not a professional but I can afford professional gear 3-5 years after it has been introduced and is being sold at bargain prices because everyone else is buying the latest piece of new technology. The same applies to lenses, I own some of the best glass Nikon ever made and I'll never go to the Z system for that reason alone. I'll happily snap away with my D810 and my D850, in a couple of years I might consider medium format when a Fujifilm GFX 100S II comes down in price.

    I used the d810 for a while for landscapes and it's awesome but I did get the Z7 eventually mainly because of the 24-200 lens, weight savings plus being able to adapt older lenses of different mounts onto it. I still prefer the d810 for the viewfinder, battery life and overall feel in the hand. I may even buy another one at some point.
