the 18 has worst fuji focusing and vastly OVERPRICED...Truly needs a REDO add LN focus and WR
A part of the video was shot with the camera in view being off (no change on the top panel window) w t heck
I can make good photos with my phone, but none that I actually want to. It doesn't do raw, and I don't have much control. I can make good photos with my EOS 30D, but live view on my 60D is a useful improvement. Arguably my 80D doesn't do much that my 60D doesn't but I like the flippy screen, and the focus tracking is useful and the AF is outstanding. With my eyes, that matters. I misunderstood the "benefits" of fullframe cameras when I bought a 6D, by the time I lost it I had a collection of TS-E lenses, and for me those are important enough I needed a replacement. At the time, the cheapest replacement was a 5Ds. I sold the 5Ds after I got a cheap Lumix S1R with which can make every photo I could with the 5Ds, and a few more besides. And it has some nice convenience features. Mostly though, I use 20 Mpx Lumix G and Olympus cameras which can make photos I could not make with the 5Ds which is what I was using in 2019. I might buy an OM 5, I'm not as strong as I used to be, and hope it will fit into a pocket, maybe with a lens attached. If not the OM 5, then its immediate predecessor.
Some really nice photos here Greg! Quite arty too, especially those last ones mate✌️🇦🇺
Ten second video clips might be interesting to a museum or NLA, someone who records history.
My favorite of the photos is the thumbnail/splash pic of the tree. And thank you for your post. :) Be safe, sir.
Capture the moment ? 🦘
well, I was a photojournalist for some years :)
@@GregCarrick I shouldn't judge ? - I was a product photog for many years ... 🦘
@@roybixby6135 that wasn't my point... I was saying that's the way I'm wired to take photos.
Nice video, you still rocking with that X70? :)
No longer. Someone else has it now. I tried the X100V for two years and just didn't like it, so I have found the X-E4 is just what I'm after. Basically an X70 that can change lenses.
You're very sweet, really liked your video and helped me in taking the decision to buy this lens or not! Thank you
Wonderful idea to use good old Glas :) Do you have IG or email to contact you?
I got off Insta. You can ask me questions here.

I will not judge your talent as a photographer because I do not feel authorized to do so, but I can say with complete certainty that your honesty and humility are rare on these networks. I feel very grateful for your generous lesson.
I have this sigma but hood gone
Super nice Greg, great shots and you really nailed the Milky Way. Looks a little scary there at night, please be careful moving about.
Persistence pays, obviously. I like the results. And your explanations.
Love my ttartisan lenses. The 25mm f2 was my first. I also own the 35mm f1.4 and 50mm 1.2. Have my eye on the 17mm f1.4. I know not everyone is into manual focus but I’m having a great time. Having a Fujifilm with exposure triangle and other features at my fingertips (X-T1 & X-T2) with manual lenses is like driving a sports car instead of a luxury car. Not for everyone I’m sure but great experience.
Great video! Unfortunately the lens that you are using is no longer cheap.
That's a shame, it's not a premium quality lens. Good optics, cheap build.
I have to admit, it's great watching the videos again and you get more from the images that you may have missed on the first go. This time I figured out what to say. These particular images seem like they are alive if that makes any sense, and it makes you want to just jump in and swim. I have only one such image in my files and it was from my Olympus E500 down at the Hook beachfront. I was gunning to make a Kodachrome shot which I love and when I looked at it I said .. yup .. Kodak CCD Oh Yeah. Not quite as good as Greg's but in all honesty this one could hold the tail wind.
Super nice Greg, saw them on my tablet, even more stunning on my big screen TV. I can't wait to do some more long exposure shots. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you could hand Greg a pink kiddie camera off Amazon and he can take it and make it sing. Thanks again for sharing, The shots with the stars really have a magical quality to them, spot on getting the moon in the one frame.
Looks more like a horseman/woman or their horse than an eagle 🏴🦅
Nice work. Loved how you talked us through 'working the scene' Hey-ey-ey Good old Eagle Rock is here to stay I'm just crazy 'bout the way we move Doin' the Eagle Rock
You'll confuse my 'Merican viewers... "Daddy Who? Daddy Cool"
Wow Greg, you really turned up the heat on these, absolutely beautiful stunning shots. Thanks so much for sharing and showing how cool the Australian landscape is. I love long exposures, but none of mine are even close to these. I gotta try the dark thing.
It's a fun experiment, and the results can be awesome :)
Beautiful sunrise shot. I went SCUBA diving somewhere around there many years ago, I can attest to how steep the climbs are after lugging all my gear down to the "beach" from the car park.
It's still a popular spot for diving, there were a few there a bit after dawn.
Awesome
Great effort for an excellent sunrise shot.. BTW is that you squeaking or your kit 😅
It's my camera bag, I swear!
Wow Greg, amazing long exposure shots and in the dark! How on earth do you work out the exposure times🤔✌️
It's pretty much guesswork. Although when it's that dark, a couple of minutes extra barely makes a difference, so it's all very forgiving.
Remember, four minutes to eight is one stop. Failing all else, guess. Then adjust as seems best. Next time, your initial guess is informed by experience. You could possibly get a reading by pushing ISO beyond reason. However, some of my cameras measure exposure over the exposure duration. Gets progressively annoying as you go further and further beyond 1s. With Olympus and I think recent Lumix cameras, you have live composite or something - you see the image as it develops on the back of the camera.
Looks like a good deal if you shot square format. Issues get cropped out, but you still get to have bokeh with it wide open. I'd add an extension tube for closeup on top of square format. I don't see you looking for bokeh balls though.
Nice one Greg, gotta love our back yard…👏👏👏🇦🇺✌️
Agreed they're overhyped by the online influencers who have gravitated them to cult status. You now have to pay several times their original value to buy one. I remember when digital first cane out and everyone was selling their film gear, I picked up several on ebay for £10 or less. Thankfully I kept them and sold quite a few, the mju zoom 170 I paid £10 for it and sold it for £180.😊 There are still bargains around, I recently bought a mju zoom 80 for £15. To be honest, they're quite a solid camera, I've not had any issues with mine but like any electronics they will not last forever.
So in other words any photo that you post process (manipulate) is Fine Art
Thanks for the walkabout. Cockatoo’s. You have wild cockatoo’s…I’m letting that sink in lol. The one second b&w at 7:25 worked nice. Great fun!
Yeah, Cockies are the teenagers of the bird world.
Hi Greg, thanks for sharing, well I happen to like all the photos, some make you feel like you are right there with the water coming at you. There are falls right by where I work but I have not gotten there yet. (50 miles up then back) I want to do the lighthouses first, if only the stupid cars would stop breaking down, full radiator job on the daughter in laws plus some electrical repairs, all good now.
Yeah, sometimes there's a line of problems stopping you from getting out and about, then they clear up and the trips are very enjoyable.
Great images ! I was just about to order one of those 3d printed lenses that use a disposable camera lens until I saw this ! Pair with a suitable film recipe on my XT30 shoulder be perfect! Can’t wait to receive it now 👍
The S9 was never advertised as a Photographer Camera 😂 never pick a Camera on feelings. You said “you were upset” & “and the S9 didn’t answer anyone’s needs”😅. I could use the S9 in several ways to encourage Clients to agree to upsell items via Social Media. The S9 is great at many things but if it’s not for you move on. It was and still is advertised for Fun Pictures (not Pro Pictures), short video clips & Social Media Sharing nothing more nothing less. Canon and Sony gave us $2500 USD overheating Cameras and the community found a way to defend it. We get so invested in things we do like or would not personally buy to justify what we do have, We Camera Snubs are the absolute worst. 😂 Where LUMIX went wrong was they should have not invited ANYONE and let the market customers found out their personal need for it. I shoot 4 brands and what I’ve learned from the LUMIX experiment is people are hobbyist not daily shooters because if they were their would clearly not read specs only and make final judgements from there. The S9 has a User Case (I agree not at $1499 maybe $1199) but there is a void it fixes for Social Media Content Creators. LUMIX misread the room, oh invite these people who a filmmakers & KZreadrs because they are in essence Content Creators they take family and friends photos for quick upload, they post to instagram and TikTok to promote themselves with short form, they would like an easy to use app to style and transfer pics and quick videos… but “nah” the Internet is the loose canon of unnecessary judgement 😂.
ToallyAgree With Ya Bro , Yank Reviews Its the Size of there Market There got a HUGE Market In everything with 350 000 000 Millions people Compaird too our population and Market Economy of Scale I Suppose , There Bikes are made In China Too , Like every thiny else I kive in the Mountains Mine is 750 watt heaps of Hills but gets up them all , Forget 250
I bought a Panasonic camera, way back. The thing was very noisy. I will never buy another of their cameras. They had their chance to impress me and they blew it.
i enjoyed seeing your work 😍
I have it. Love it! I have 8 other lens gathering dust!
I first saw one of your vids where you referenced this one... so, I watched and am just cheering like a little kid with money. Don't get me wrong... I can't afford that freaking piece of camera gear under any circumstances, shit, I'm on Soc Sec. But to see a corp trying to upsell such a piece of tripe.. well, so much for them. I buy used. I buy Konica. :)Vive la Revolution !
Wow, those photos are gorgeous. Made me think of Twin Peaks again....
So what?
"Badges? We don't need no stinking.. badges!"
Ahhhh, some of those shots I love dearly... one even reminds me of my ole bass player's stuph... she loves to do pics/series by throwing her phone in the air. Otherwise she's doing a lot of very interesting work with reflections, glass, etc.. lotta subway cars and ferries. Nice work Mr Carrick.
Hi Mr Carrick !!! I'm an ole punk rocker and newbie photographer.... shoulda put that in quotes I think. Anyway, there's two things I love; people who question and people who prove it. And you sir, did both. I've never trusted a corporation and never will. I research to my ability on a product and then ponder, a moment and either walk on by or hit the buy button. But, marketing is just a method to gain familiarity, also called brand recognition. Familiarity causes trust in some; it's basically imitating the relations with family and dear friends, but they're NOT your family. They're NOT your friends. They want your money. And money is a representation of time you've spent renting yourself out to some sort of business to assist that business to ... make money. IE: you're basically selling a portion of your time on this planet while still alive, to procure tokens that you can exchange for objects you desire, things you need to survive, and an object that provides safety, comfort, and protection from the elements. These are tokens you can only get by selling part of your time on this planet so other people can get more tokens than you'll ever see. People in corporations want to have LOTS of tokens so they get the feeling that they've sold their hours for more tokens than others; it makes them feel strong, and special. And they'll do anything; lie, cheat, buy politicians, and even murder their parents to get that standing. And that goes to marketing too. People in marketing think we're a bunch of rubes. And those at the top of corporations don't even give us that courtesy. Nope, we're rats in a box who are unable to lift themselves up by their bootstraps and become owners of billions of tokens, like they are. Marketing is lying, cheating, manipulation and lawyers. Sometimes the product is good and sometimes they rush it out fast cos they don't want to invest money... never, ever... trust a corporation. On the other hand.... YOu sir, are awesome :) All my love and pls be safe.
Great rand that pounds in the nail. However, lose the watch cap [beany]. You're not in a Seattle grunge band.
I wear it to keep warm
Well, the numbers was just released today and lo and behold, it's selling like hotcakes. Apparently it's a giant hit and it's backordered almost everywhere. Almost like a multi billion dollar company did the market research and found that a camera like the S9 would sell really well.
Perhaps too many 'reviewers' shilled it instead of being objective.
@@GregCarrick i think they did their market research and found that the market would love this type of camera which they obviously did as it's selling better than anything else atm.
Clickbait video comparing apples to oranges , Fuji does not make FF cameras and their APS models have poor IBIS poorer video than Panasonic models etc. The S9 hold no appeal for me , but when you see the whining about it online it is almost always the old codger brigade { a brigade I am about to join } this is not aimed at that group. The quoted price $1500 is US dollars and $2500 Australian is roughly $1620 US so not a lot in it. The 26mm F/8 makes absolutely zero sense to me Nikon has a 26mm F/2.8 that is a fully functioning lens a full 3 stops faster and only 6mm taller than the Panasonic. Every company has made cock ups over the years,
Love the content. I found one of those disc cameras at a thrift shop but didn't buy it. Maybe I should have... it was a novelty anyway. too bad APS film is gone. all those crazy small point and shoots are useless now.
All I'd want extra would be a proper pancake lens like the Nikon or Canon 28f2.8. Outside of that, I don't care about mechanical shutters, because every Fujifilm camera I've owned has malfunctioned and left me with electronic shutter for years. I don't use a EVF because I am a Ricoh GR III shooter, I got used to LCD - even in sunny Mexico where I live. I also don't use flash so the hot shoe is irrelevant. With the S9 I get better AF than my Fujifilm cameras, better IBIS than my Fujifilm cameras, and interesting new way to create and share colour profiles for use in camera, and it's full frame while being cheaper and smaller than most of Fujifilm's line up currently. As a user looking to leave Fujifilm but not wanting to commit to a massive camera like the S5II, Z8, R5, or A7RV, the S9 is great. Unlike most critics of the S9: It's a tool for a purpose.
Good luck with the switch
11:54 Panasonic doesn't sell LUTs, how are they the product? Arri on GH7 is an exception, cause all of the money will probably go directly to Arri lol 11:59 Panasonic is introducing another competitor to Leica travel cameras, but with one of the best sensors of it's price and a lot of Panasonic features, that even Sony cine-line don't have. 12:25 Camera, on it's own, is godlike. It has amazing sensor, best in class gimbal, awesome AF, low noise, wonderful V-Log, and a video capabilities like open-gate 6K. And! No useless crap that modern filmmakers are not using, because why would they. It has a lot of shortcominds, 99% of which You can overcome. I've clicked on video, thinking that Panasonic tried to silence Your opinion. I was disappointed. Also - the commentor is somewhat right. Of course, You're right - the companies CAN fail, CAN miscalculate and CAN do wrong. BUT in this case - You're just a wrong audience for this camera. And I see no reason for You to get mad at it. Except clickbate OFC.
Wow, Godlike, what a fanboy.
