Why Cheaper Cameras Are Better Than Expensive Ones

- Your budget camera probably looks better to your audience than your more expensive "pro" camera. There's something magical about a cheap camera that just works in auto mode and looks great. There's less pressure when you use it, and you can just focus on making good content.

Steinbeck? That’s a novel name 😉 😆😂🤣
My wife doesn't care about cameras, doesn't know a thing about cameras but she's addicted to your little intro jingle and insists I turn it up so she can sing along. Then she leaves the room and goes back to watching her gardening videos.
A lot of people would do better with a cheaper camera and better lighting equipment.
Stop making sense , people don’t want it
And audio....
Don't spread a fact. Someone needs to sell something.
shhhhh dont tell them our little secret. if the visual people learn we wont be able to work...@@cb2000a
10:34 “Your mom has a single slot” 😂😂😂
that came from no where and i just burst out laughing🤣🤣
Still loving the BMPCC! Crazy. But the Z30 with 40mm prime was really nice too.
That 40 f2 is nice. Through YT compression it has the nicest midtone delicacy (micro contrast) of the group.
Fun Fact: The two guys in the thumbnail are actually the same person! Believe it or not
You lying
Do you feel good about yourself spreading misinformation? 🤬
No way! This is slander! Shame on you! 😆
A $30 haircut is better than a $3 haircut.
They're twins with inverted flannels.
The mkh416 is by far the best mic. Couldn’t believe it was such a difference when I heard the change.
Same, I came from the ME66 and upgraded to the 416 and was blown away, love that thing.
Wait till you guys try out the MKH50. Sounds even better than the 416 IMO, especially indoors.
Enjoyable start to my day! Fun responses to the questions; but some great advice within. Still loving that z30!
Mix pre-3 is the best I use it all the time and if you decide to buy the noise assist plug-in you won't regret it but it is $300. The best thing about the audio interfaces that technically it's a field recorder so if you ever want to do this show on the road where you answer questions you could just need to bring a battery bank.
That Black Magic x Leica 25 combo is undefeated
Good Nas reference
10:33 “Your mom has a single slot.” 😂
Bro! You now own the ENTIRE cinema, and we must fight you for any possible hope of replicating what you have mastered! The Z30 with the Nikon 40/2 and Sennie 416 is top-notch on every level. My CC is going to be taking a big hit.
Agree with your nikon z30. Beast of thingy . Bought as a easy backup for backup and just love the ease of use and pic quality, colour and everything else. Can write a book on the thingy. For the price unbeatable. Even wildlife with 400f4 nikon.
Markus shoots everything in perfect lighting. Even an iPhone 6 can produce decent videos in perfect lighting condition...
Perfect lighting at Disney ?
Bad lighting wont be any better with a 50000 dollar camera, like, who are you kidding? You think Hollywood shoots movies in poor lighting and their magical medium format digital film cameras just fixes the lighting???
LOL, no camera in the world can fix poorly lit scenes.
But a damn good lens and the right settings can make the difference, does not matter if its shot on a GH2 or Sony A7s3
@@SMGJohn did you ever had an A7Siii in your hands? I owned the ZVE1 with a Tamron 20-40 2.8. And compared to my G9, this Sony can see in the dark. And there is no comparisson to the ZV1... There is a huuuuge difference when it come to lighting and cameras/lenses.
@@bastian.michel
Funny how you completely avoided telling us the lens you were using with the G9
@@SMGJohn 9mm 1.7 Leica. If Zoom needed, I take the 12-35 2.8.
Sony ZVE1 with 20mm 1.8.
I sold the Sony because I didnt like the colors and the stabe. But the light sensivity was incredible.
So basically youre saying a Sony RX100 VII will perform in dim light same good or bad like a A7Siii. Is that what youre sayin?
Most vlogger folks are gonna buy a Pocket 3 and be done with it.
Or you could go panasonic G9II, load a good (paid) film emulation lut via their Real time lut feature, and now you have your "film simulation" in a panasonic body
“Your mom has a single slot”. LOL. I just subscribed. JK. I pathetically had already subscribed a while ago.
That z30 image looks like it could use a little softening in my opinion. Happy to see a test of the 40mm f2! I’m sure you will investigate it’s 3d popping abilities soon
I think it’s the bokeh. R8 is full frame and therefore the 40mm f2 on the Nikon aps-c is like almost equivalent to the canon stopped down to f4
@@18yearsoldnotthat could be it. Probably was just jarring switching to it from the canon EF 85mm f1.2, which I don’t think was ever considered a super sharp lens.
@@danieltilley actually you’re right. Nikon crushes its blacks in stills mode as well. I just realised that
Sharpening is set to high! Nothing else!
The MixPre preamps are top notch. That's a really nice gift.
Mix pre 3 plus the MKH 416, as good as it gets. Z30 bit of a champ have to say.
Glad your still liking the z30 Nike boy. I like mine for similar fun knock about. I’ll have to get the 40 mm
Damn I gonna use "you're mom has single slot".
All 3 dynamic handheld mics sounded great. The shotgun condensers sounded a bit meh to me. The MixPre3 is amazing!
Amazing. For THIS video, I started watching it with my Sennheiser headphones!
To me, the best, and sounding the same, are the e935 and MD 46.
I'm so happy for you that you have a mixpre3, they're so great. The limiters in the mixpre3 are fantastic, as are the microphone preamps. Just carry it with you in a fanny pack.
I'm surprised by the 8 bit supremacy of the Nikon z30, especially with the 40mm lens. The OG pocket of course looks great, I'm not a huge fan of the yellow Canons. Super blurred backgrounds have always been overrated, from the time the Nikon d90 (Nikon was first!) came with video. I'm waiting for an updated Z6 with some trickle down Z8 features as a long time Nikon/Pannyboy aficionado.
bro you been making these vids for sooo long keep up the good work
The Canadian ear warmer haircut is real? I thought it was a myth.
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY RIGHT
The ME66 is a legendary mic with legendary sound quality and super durability.
Definitely the 935 sounds the best 🤣 They're all very similar though.
The Nikon is some good kit, excellent colours straight out of camera. No fiddly editing or colour grading required 👍
Fuji X-S20 is quite nice camera for family/hobby video - handheld, not walking, static with no or slow panning - super stable, even when 16-80mm is zoomed-in at 80mm. Only it looses focus when zooming in/out, but that would be annoying to do in videos even if it was not loosing focus. Downside is overheating, that various people report. Didn't happen to me for my short videos, yet.
Over time your videos grew into cinematic works of art. Care to share specifics on the A7SIII picture profile settings or whatever you do to create the look?
e935 no faults but maybe I'm just used to it
e945 amplified saliva sounds
md46 sounded kinda cheap
me66 I liked but the sample was short
mkh416 scrotum enhancing levels of midbass and good resolution
I'd go with the mkh416
This is the best way to audition them though. As you probably noticed- mics sound different depending on the preamp used just like speakers sound different depending on the amp they're hooked up to
I didn’t notice much difference in microphones and I’m listening through headphones. It’s hard to focus on the tone when the jokes are so engaging lol
Great tennis shot, LOL!
you look best on the BlackMagic.
7:45 duude thats that batman comic show or whatever it was ... hella nostalgic
The R8 looks a little green compared to the Nikon. But the RF 50mm F/1.8 was the most pleasing. First world problems! The mics all sound good, but I'm listening on my phone without a headset. I'll have to re-view it later.
your points in this video is why i chose my a7c with a ridiculous gm lens. I just want it to do the heavy lifting for me lol. So i still spent 3000 but eh its totally within my budget
Literally selling my A7sIII because it's just so much easier to use my pocket three now and 99% of people can't tell the quality difference anyway LOL.
i kinda dont hate the trolly teaching it helps me remember what i learned tbh
Hi Kasey - Thanks for your great videos. I’ve been a fan for years. I am wondering if you can suggest a lens for birding videos. I have a Sony zv-e10. I want to take videos and photos to prove to the birding community that I actually saw the birds I claimed to have seen (they are doubtful). For Sony aps-c, do you think the tamron 18-300 (27-450 ff equiv.) would be ok? Or do I need something longer?
Got the Nikkor z 24 1.7 for my Z30, pretty sweet deal
Your mom has a single slot……. That made me lol
glad squirrel is getting his due
You can also use selfie stick, they are free in nature. Just take any stick... take it! TAAAAKE IT! And then you can use some tape or something to stick your camera on it. No need for tripods or quatrodomes...
I like the hobo lens 😊
I'm going Panasonic... for my hairdryer
Tbf, all the mics were fine, though the 945 and on were definitely better.. but you could probably overcome that by auditioning preamps, particularly the nice rack-mount models.. I've been through some of that in musician land. Dynamic mics can also be altered with input impedance, not to mention rack-mounted includes hi-fi valve models..
But none of it matters without good content.
Markus video from Disney was very cool to watch! Markus has some kind of super power of talent!
The practical shade and the reflection create a fine art leading line pointing directly at your huge brain. Nice blocking.
Squeak Squeak!!!
mix pre is great
The e945 sounded shweet.
Between the z30 and eos R, which one wd u recommend.
I’m a huge fan of your haircut!
OMG I CANT BELEIVE IT
@10:34 said your mom has a single slot 😂😂😂😂😂
10:15 for hiking get the sigma 70-200 for $1000. Sell it for 900 if you don’t want to keep it.
The OG Sennie 935 sounded best! 😂
Dang, why is the canon so much brighter and colorful and poppier than the bmpcc og?
Oh my god why does the canon rf with the 50mm1.8 look so amazing?
I will NEVER shut up about the Sony X3000. Still among the greatest ever made. I'm using it more often now over my other more expensive options. 📽
Is its video quality good like skin tones color science and sharpness etc compared to other cameras?
@@basharatali9946 Outdoors from dawn til dusk with the correct settings I'd say it still competes with many of the modern action cams. The newer ones with bigger sensors look better indoors and at night.
ive shot my most recent 4 music videos with a Nikon z30 as well as 26 client videos/music videos its an amazing camera with the right lense
What's your favorite lens with the Z30? -thanks
I don't know if cheaper cameras are entirely better than expensive ones, but they are better in several ways. Less expensive cameras are much better at saving you money, and the end resulting image of both is so unnoticeable by the majority of viewers. Buying expensive is more about desire, whereas buying inexpensive is more about necesity
To me the Canon R8 looks washed out and not exactly blurry but lacking in detail - very obvious when next to the Z30. Is that how you see it - and if so, what is causing it? / Thanks
Your Nikon kit lens has a smudge on the top right of the image (14:15) and now I have a thumbprint on my laptop screen.
😂😂😂
the mic with the foam on it sounded best.
hahahaha why am I just seeing this
How would you explain Nikon having the better color science? What are the parameters you judge by?
Did the MKH 416 had the darkest background? I tend to think so.
I downgraded to t3i with 50mm f1.8 from a7iii with 28-75mm
I was thinking Of selling my Lumix g9 to get a a6700 or canon r8 but watched this video and decided I'm going to keep it 😊
Most people never get pass the first step of a camera hobby and that is buying gear. Don't forget to click the affiliate links! I still use my D3300 as my daily snapper

I actually prefer expensive cameras
T3i mark ii? :)
G9 was down to $650 new with the 12-60 crap lens, but sell that for $150-250 and it's a $400-500 camera in 2024. I'm going to suffer the autofocus for a stills only cam.
Imao the AF on Panasonic cameras for stills are really good, its just CAF that sucks
I would go for the Panasonic G9II with the 9mm Leica. Or if more flexible, then the 12-35mm 2.8.
Panasonic skin tones need work.
@@cameraconspiraciesPanasonic skin tones are perfect. If they don't look good on you, that's your skin's fault

Liked soley on the comment about lasting in the bedroom...or not lasting.
smaller, lighter = better 👍
trust me, size does matter
I do eat too much cheese and my unsatisfied desire for a Nikon DF is causing me to get depressed. Should I just accept that I *might* want to shoot a video one day and so should get a D780 just in case?
Is that a Sennheiser e835 microphone you are using? The windscreen you are using looks nice. I have that microphone, but my windscreen is round and ugly. Can you share the brand and model of your windscreen?
No, I said exactly which mics I was using you troglodyte.
Mkh 416 🎉 best sounds 😊 more low tones
Camera noob here. What is the difference in aperture when you say f vs T?
Them Nikons look like they've got too much clarity contrast baked in. Do they have a less molested profile?
my 6400 is cheap & awesome... needs a tripod for the pixel peepers, but me with shaky old hands I can do well enough to make me happy. Add a G full frame lens & I'm very happy, as you point every thing is arbitrary. I like SONY colours... weird I know. The 6400 has the Sony 9 colour chip, so the best SONY colour available at the time of release. I would like a full frame, but I enjoy the extra reach of the 6400 when added to my 600mm for Moon shots. I love my combo of 90mm G with the 6400, I used it for some specky sport shots, all magazine quality, as a friend pointed out. I'm a hobbyist. 6400 is now an old camera... that commands a larger price now (around 1300) than when I bought mine on special for $970 on special four... five years ago, maybe 6 I'm 60, exact dates elude me. AU dollars.
I don't know if you've used it before, try the Zeiss Batis 18mm 2.8 for vlogging. Yes it's a little on the wide end, but I love that lens.

Hollyland sent me a wireless mic set and a box of promo gear free, and I'm not even a camera review guy. So...

Red flannel is trustworthy. The symbol of Canadian resistance to tyranny.
It's also what Trudeau wore for Halloween.
What would be your ideal specs for a camcorder?
Large format digital 5D planar sensor with 4D depth logarithmics and quantum time warp technology allowing you to film negative 50 billion FPS back in time.
935 and it’s a big difference
I’ll say the R8 with 85mm f1.2 looks like you’re on a green screen. The 3-D pop and depth of field is a bit jarring.
Cheers for the vid. Here's a question for you. What are your thoughts on the canon 80d for photography. To heavy for vlogging. It's a great little cam.
I literally could not tell the difference in sound between any of the mics.
The problem with the Nikon is the Smokey peanuts
Anything by Sound Devices is a great product(I'm a recording engineer and have used them). The MKH 416 sounds the best with your voice in my opinion. Thanks for the audio review. Most people who vlog and blog could give a shit about audio. Just listen to how levels are all over the place(there are standards), a constant barrage of plosive shocks(are you deaf?), audible clipping, poor mic placement, etc. Do some research people, this isn't rocket science. Put the same amount of effort into audio as you do into video please.
Maybe
G 9 ii is good autofocus
I have the ME66, so i'm voting for the one I have because i'm insecure, and have a touch of narcissism.
