Sorry! In attempt to post an “easy” video before the end of the month, I ended up making this over 20 minutes long. This is why I use a teleprompter 🤣
Manny what if you recorded the endings first? Then everything else.
It was the perfect length! I never got bored not even for a moment
I would’ve watched it even if it was an hour long. Great work!
We needed the in depth longer video
I can watch this content for hours real feelings and practical points.
"I like sitting on the couch, just holding this camera, for no reason at all." That is the most real statement of the photography experience I have heard on CZcams. I don't feel so weird anymore. LOL. Thanks, Manny!
I do it actually more than taking photos ;)
Don't worry you always find someone more weird than yourself :)
That's on a different level... It's therapeutic
Same, just holding the camera is great! I like to click the shutter for the sound of it, so satisfying!
I jus got the canon r50 and I jus grab it for reason I love holding it it’s so small but comfortable at the same time
haha same here xD I just like to take my camera and look through VF for no reason xD
1- Canon R5
2- Nikon Z8
3- Sony A1
4- Hasselblad x2d
5- Fujifilm X100vi
Great thanks
I take the A7R V over the first 2 any day of the week. Canon L lenses are last gen, that alone is a no-go.
So basically top of the line cameras from each brand lol 🤦🏻♂️
Which mode you've say you use on X100vI? Thanks!!!?
When I started photography in 2018 in Chicago. Manny's videos were such an inspiration to me. I've been on this journey and learned a lot from you. Fast forward 6 years, I've upgraded from the D200, to the D600, D750, and Z6II, and I've been published in 6 different magazines. I'm picking up business and hopefully I'll get to where I'm trying to go.
I just wanted to say thank you to you for being a guide and sharing your experience. It helped me a lot when I wanted to quit. Keep going brother.
How did you get published in those magazines?
The man who made me the photographer i am today 😎 Bro u are the biggest influence to my photography journey. One day i hope we can do a shoot together bro✊🏾📸
Top 5 lenses next please Manny
I'm a pregnancy photographer here in Brazil, and I love my Sony cameras, A7RII and A7RIII. They're still amazing
I use an A7RIII for photography and FX 30's for videos.
@@official6arz Here in Brazil, everything costs very, very expensive. I'm saving money to buy an A7RIII, I love the R series.
R5 + 28-70 F2. I’ve been extremely happy the last 4 years. Travel, portraits, events, nature.. all good. PS: love your work, thanks for sharing!
Manny, cameras make you emotional. The love comes within! I love you passion to the art.
Always appreciate the content and your honest opinions, Manny!
It's interesting what you (very honestly) said about "being a CZcamsr, I have to use the latest cameras...". I think this gets lost on a lot of viewers and buyers. Content creators are not always using their preferred/favourite camera, just what they 'have' to use to keep views coming in from us gear-obsessed people.
I don't shoot hardcore sports/wildlife, so for purely photography, I'm still waiting for a compelling reason to 'upgrade' from a Sony A7R III(A). All bodies post-2017 are sensational for stills and give pretty much identical stills performance, so it all comes down to the glass for me...
Those Hasselblad shots are INSANE…Canon family over here though 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Manny, your sample photos in this video out of every camera are amazing.
Great content, love that you’re showing so much of your work impressive, and motivating… cheers
Great upload Manny, love the photos as well as your passion
I still use my X100s I've had for ages. I got mine because my cameras were becoming a work thing, and my kit had grown to a large roller bag. My X100s got me to enjoy photography and make it fun again. I agree, there is no real alternative. It is what it is, and if that is what you want, you want an X100.
Do you miss the autofocus of the A7R5? Or was it overkill for your style of work?
Nicely composed presentation, Manny!
Hey Manny,
What is the mechanism / bracket / tripod you are using for vertical shooting in the studio in this video?
That ending haha. This was an awesome video though, it was really cool to see what your favourite cameras are, but even better getting to see the images from each all together. You have some incredible work.
Love my x2d best camera I’ve ever had . Where do we go from here? Leica mirrorless medium format I am waiting
Insightful stuff, Manny! Really like how you put this together 👏
I just visited Chicago last week, I just noticed the train and the river in the video, wasn’t aware you were based in Chicago! I love the city!
Hey quick question, out of all those cameras which one would you say has the best image quality? And which camera do you think would be the best to do strictly portraits no videos .
You’re awesome I enjoyed every moment of the video
Thanx for the great video. I have the R5 and X100V and couldn't be happier. When I first borrowed a R5 I knew I was never going to use anything but Canon in my career. I had a XH2 and a A7RIV and sold them the same week, and bought the R5. And the X100 is in my pocket whenever I'm not in the studio. They're my brusches and I can paint whatever painting I want with them.
Manny, i love u . Thanks for all yout tine you dedicated us to teach us.
Hey what camera stand are you using on the canon R5? I’ve been looking for one.
@Manny if you could only choose between 1) Hasselblad X2D 100C or 2) Leica M11 which one would it be?
Manny very classy not milking the x100 algorithm. Just camera 5. 💪
The FujiFilm X100VI is just such a joy to shoot with. As a true photographer and an old school one at that… the experience is just wonderful. It’s a modern purist kind of creative plaything. It just gives such a “real” experience to capturing life around you.
Hello. If you could pick pices from all cameras and build one camera how would it be?
very nice video and informative. i shoot canon and i have no regrets, nice design, handling and most importantly the ease of use
I feel you on the shutter sound being pleasant! It matters to me too!
Question: Was the Sony A7Cii even considered for this list? I've been thinking of buying it.
What kind of stand is the Canon R5 on? The vertical camera stand
0:54 how come; you must use latest gear for making youtube? Is there technical reason? For CZcams you need a good video cam or hybrid
Your pictures are beautiful, regardless of the camera. I appreciate this unbiased video.
Outstanding content sir 👏
Cant wait for long term review of X2D ✌🏻❤️
Personally I didn’t expect that one of your favorites was a Fujifilm camera... I was hooked with this video, the sample shots amazing as always, and that Hasselblad one of a kind, thank you!
That was so unbiased ❤️🔥
For me, what stands out here is the person behind the camera - this is where the talent makes the difference. I don't think there is that much of a difference anymore on the camera side, so the focus must be on the right thing - the image. Thanks for uploading.
Hey the shutter sound is extremely important I totally agree with you. (Pentax k-1, k-3 iii user)
The shots from the Hasselblad really show you how truly special those camera are. All your shots are amazing, but the Hasselblad (chef's kiss). Man, I would donate an organ for one!
Manny, the Hasselblad with face recognition does it get the eye in tack=sharp focus or you still need to make adjustments?
Actual solid street shots btw
Great picks, thank you
bruh, Manny's got guns! 💪
I noticed you said you like the medium format aspect of the X2D. The Nikon Z8 and Z9 have that as well. It’s the 5:4 format which is one of the things I loved most about shooting Nikon. To me it was a game changer and the biggest reason I want to switch back from Sony to Nikon. Try it with your Z8. You’ll love it!
You're videos got me into taking photography more seriously. Great video
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love the ending 😊
Hey Manny!
Just dropping in to tell you thank you for being so vulnerable about your struggles on CZcams. I had my car broken into yesterday, and they stole my Panasonic Gx7. I was really hurt that someone would do this to me and take away something so dear to me and my hobby... especially when I didn't do anything to them to deserve it.
Regardless, your video about having things stolen has really helped stay positive and level-headed about the situation, realizing that I'm not alone in having this happen to me. Thanks man
That sucks Nick. Do you not have another camera?
@DominiKing32 I have a K1000. Film is getting really expensive now though, so
11:30 Oh Manny, I really value the shutter sound, and you did a great job simulating the A7R3 shutter sound. I agree that the shutter sound is a crucial aspect of photography work.
Let’s fing go mannnnny
Manny is the man!
I loved your TOP 5 list of cameras Manny. My fav of the bunch was the Z8 ( I have the Z9) and the Hasselblad and the fact it has internal storage. But all your images from all the cameras were 🔥🔥.
Same. I’ve the Z8 since January. (Upgraded from Z6ii) and it still feels like a privilege every time I use it. Wonderful camera.
Those Hassleblad shots are insane but that camera is just too expensive imho! But I understand the allure of standing out in the crowd. Any thoughts on the A9III for strobe portraits? I understand the hit in megapixels but I used to knock it outta the park with the Canon 6d (which has even less MPs than the A9III).
hi MaNNY, No Leica (SL, Q, M) ?
may be it's not very practical for or doesn't fit in your style of work !!
i have M10-P *white* Limited Edition + 50 Summilux
would love to own the Hasselblad X2D
Extremely interesting. Many thanks! 🙏🙏👍👍👍
When I watch this video, my love for photography grows...
Oh wow. I didn’t expect the 1st camera! You should for sure use it more, I hear you on the CZcams side of things though. Mk ii nearly upon us!
Watched until the end, the ending is so funny
Good list and reasons. Maybe weirdly, after shooting with a GFX100s for a year, I am now drawn to go back to my Nikon D850 (to be the point where I just bought 2 lenses for the D850). I just find I love the ergonomics of the Nikon, and whilst I know the Z8 is a much better camera, I really can't justify upgrading cause the D850 does everything I need of it.
Hi Manny, just realized watching this video you have been in Madeira island, my Hometown.
I have followed you from the very beginning and i'm gutted you were in madeira and havent had a chance to meet you.
let me know if you ever want to go back, I can provide you accomodation and take you around to great photography places
Manny Fuji X100 V1 or Nikon ZF, I am between these for everyday street. I have the sony a7rv. What's your thoughts?
If you wanna be able to change your lenses the ZF. If that doesn’t matter to you the Fuji has a higher megapixel pixel count and is smaller so easier to carry around. But the Zf also has wayyyyy better autofocus.
@@animegeek6118 Yeh thats what i was thinking too, the fuji has limitations and i think the biggest is the timeline. lol I do like the zf form factor, but also having an a7rv makes me think - do i need it lol
I don’t know about you, but as a Nikon user I find it easier to use Sony menus.
@@AbhinavYadav-zm7ut yeh I don’t mind Sony and quite used to it now.
Is that Hasselblad a higher tier camera than a Leica camera?
Amazing video !! Wow ! Such a lot of $$ tied up or invested plus the lenses that are needed ??
Canon R5 + RF 85 1.2 DS... My all time Favourite... Cannot wait to get my hands on the Canon R1 ❤
I like that you are not only for Sony like many CZcamsrs.. I have Canon R5 and it still amaze me everytime.. I had Sony A7III (which was also one of my favorite) and Sony A7IV (worse than A7III imo..).
loving all this results from every single camera. im using D850.
Good stuff brother....as usual. I am in agreement with 85%..except the hassy, The internal SSD failed on mine. Just 45 days out of warranty. The body is now a boat anchor. Internal SSD sounds like a great idea but unlike SD or CF express, once your media is shot, you junk the body. X2d boat anchor for sale.
Wow that sucks. No way to repair it?
I enjoy watching
The Sony A1 is not mentioned in the list below the video. Other than that, interesting assessment!
Still got my Canon 5DS with Sigma Art Series lenses but my new Hassleblad X2D with 90mm XCD is the bomb
Fuego!
Manny, is there any way to test out some Hasselblad raw files? Is there any link available? Thanks!
Yes go to my “I was wrong about medium format” video. The google drive link is in the description box. Come back here and tell me what you think
@@MannyOrtiz It worked. I downloaded all raw files and played with the sliders in Lightroom. It's really hard to make a clear scientific judgment - for example - Canon lens wasn't RF 50 1.2 and there was only one lighting scenario. But I can testify how the images made me "feel" (which is subjective): Nikon Raw file felt very pleasing, I felt so comfortable playing with the file. Canon file felt neutral and true, but shadows fell apart at 800 ISO. Sony felt dead and color seperation was completely "Off". Hasslblad felt premium - had an edge - colors felt like "perfection" - (but not by far). Fuji felt great honestly - and shadows didn't fall apart at ISO 800. I was amazed how copy paste the same settings made such RADICAL differences between all images. which means that every camera raw file is a whole entire unique universe.
I shoot Sony, Nikon and Canon daily. So I'm passionate about that stuff. Greatful for your content and sharing that passion
Saya selalu suka menonton video yg anda buat di channel ini 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic content.
Camera #5 ❤
The point is: today cameras are so good, that you can peek whatever feels right as long as you have the support you need in your location. There are exceptions, Fuji does not have a good action camera. You can make it work (I used to shoot dance with a film camera and take pictures of peek moments) but you will be at a disadvantage and will get far fewer keepers (for action for the most part, Sony is the best then Nikon Z8/Z9 then Canon, even if you don't believe it and just right now, as the new Canons are coming, but you are splitting hairs). A Hassy will not help you with action, but if you are a portrait photographer, food, product, or landscape the Hassy (H2D) and the Fuji are fast and consistent enough. Choose what you love.
It's good to see an unbiased video on cameras. I don't get to use as many brands as you, but I've found something that I love in every brand that I have tried. Amazing video 💪🏽
Hail the Fuji!! 👑
Interesting concept to have a documenting camera
Hey man! Great video! Yes I fully agree that the tilting screen like the Nikon Z8 is ideal for photography. But maybe a shoutout to fuji is in place, because they did that earlier....and yeah: fuji can do 40 frames per second raw....
Excellent video
Thanks for the sample images without editing. Looks good.
Manny try leica m11 or m11p :D and also sl3 (probably) :) m11 is the most rewarding camera to shoot imo (i’ve owned a1, r3, r5, x2d, 907x 50c, x100v (I hated the feeling of cheap build quality in my hand, loved the weight, but xpro3 was better camera for me). Only camera I never want to part is an M camera :). You just need to get used to it :)
Fire!!
I love the a1 but I do have big hands. So I prefer the newer grip on the other cameras. Like the a7rv.
i like manny, fantastic photographer. sombody i look up to
Great Video
great video!!!!!!!
I end up buying the Canon R5 glad I did.
And he will forever be known as "Ja' Quinn" to me now.
Good video Manny!
Manny straight up cuddling with the Z8. But I ain’t hating!
The review when you filmed that game made me want a Z8. Sooooo....I sold my Fujifilm XH2 and sold all my lens for 3300. I bought the Z8 and the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8.
The Laowa 10mm dff 0 distortion, Viltrox 27mm 1.2 pro and the 180 600mm are in my near future purchases.
It was a Nail biting experience for me Manny 😅
Any one of those cameras is DOPE,
Manny with the Switzerland video.
“This is kinda sussss, but…” lmao 😂
I wanna see your best budget mirrorless cameras
