  • The more versions of this video I do the worse it gets. I took out all my talk about Camera Conspiracies but in the end feel this is a good clickbait title, if nothing else.
    Camera Conspiracies doesn't talk about the fundamentals of cameras but it's implied in his humor about "new" camera benefits. Or the conceit that there could ever be one perfect camera.

    I am looking for a camera that has a button on the back labeled automatic Pulitzer Prize material.

      I need a button, "You've now made ____ mistakes in your lifetime"

    I loved Plus X Pan, since I still shoot film I've not really found a film that matches the results I got from it.
    I'm well aware that no film stock or even camera can improve your photographs. I used the same camera and lens for 20 years. I still have the lens, a Ziess 50mm 1.8, but not the camera.

      As I say in this video, you can get amazing bodies for very little. With an adapter you'd be back in business!

      @@MaxoticsTV I've yet to adapt it to F mount, or buy an adapter rather.
      This is rather silly I admit, but I like my Nikkor 50 1.2 so much now that pretty much lives on that camera, and I don't have a spare Nikon. I keep looking at F2's, so one of those will be purchased next, when I do it'll be adapted and used.
      I don't use auto-exposure or in camera meters any more, so the F2 lacking this is of no concern, the only cameras I have with that feature have been 35mm, so I no longer trust that I'd get the look I'm after unless I use the same spot meter I do on every other format.

      @@MaxoticsTV In terms of spot meters, when I moved up to them I initially had a Sekonic, but I got so sick of it running out of power and the overcomplication of the thing I sold it and bought a Pentax Digital Spotmeter.
      I absolutely love using this meter, and may well buy the analogue version *just* in case my digital one stops working. Mind you if it does I'll find someone skilled in circuitry repair and try to get it fixed.

    Good comments that I mainly agree with. Some would say though that manufacturers have found ways to improve video quality in the past few years. I take point to the moiré found on your shirt in this video. However, I think you could eliminate it by sitting further from your camera or simply changing your shirt. Moiré is near impossible to get rid of once it's there- not even the most recent AI can do anything about it.

      I spend 99% of my time researching, experimenting, and 1% of my time shooting my own video. I am NOT short of nice cameras ;) So why shoot on a webcam? Why hurt my own argument with amateur hour "content"? I wish I had answer. The best I can say is I don't have patience to do that when I have yet ANOTHER thing I want to investigate. I had a mirrorless teleprompter thing on my desk but a few weeks ago I was bugging me (taking up room), so I took it down. I figured the webcam would be good enough--HA!
      ON the moire. There's a lot of things AI can't do and never will. I spent some time on trying to fix that when I was doing a lot of Magic Lantern stuff with the EOS-M. Back in the day when it could to 1280x720 at best. It seemed a relatively simple problem to fix. I tried every kind of demosaicing algorithm I could try. I finally settled on Amaze.
      Thanks for comment!!!

      @@MaxoticsTV I totally understand. It's really difficult to shoot video and even harder to understand, after all that effort, something like moiré would screw it up! Keep bringing the good content.
