Canon 5D4
Nikon D750
Nikon DF
Sony A7rii
Sony A7s
Fujifilm X-Pro2
Fujifilm X100T
Sony A6300
Sony A6000

Also what’s stated here is just my own personal opinion =)

    Which camera would you recommend for photographing artwork?

  3. Claresta Chew says

    Thanks for making this! Love it! Was helpful!

  4. Kathleen Kavanagh says

    You didn't mention Image Stabilization, articulating screens and mic ports which are important and I read reviews on Sony cameras that suggest they have a quality control isdue and there are so many lemons out there that become pape weights for people. Scary to buy a camera my last was a $500 canon that stopped working quickly and was useless. Thank you.

    So bias

  6. Robert Gorden says

    Before you decide what camera to buy decided what it is that you want to shoot.

  7. shamal p says

    what you're opinion about canon m100 for photography? for only photo shooting no videos?! or else is there any other option in that price bracket.

  8. Sarah J. Geronimo says

    Hi Desy, what can you say about Canon EOS 200D? Nice video bro. Thanks!

  9. Angeline Tan says

    which affordable camera would you suggest for potrait photography? 😀 im a makeup artist and i just want to take photos of my clients 😀 i find that my phone captures less detail and colors than an actual camera 😀 hopefully a camera that amateurs can use

  10. Yuki Hana says

    Can I get your advice ? Now I own a Canon 70D + 18-55 STM + 50 f1.8 STM. Should I change from that set to Fuji XT1 and its kit lens ? I go for portrait, a little bit sport and I go on a way to become a professional.

  13. Quiini Page says

    Is there any DSLRs or mirrorless cameras @ cheap prices, like the 2nd hands or brand new at 100 dollars???

  14. Madison Mallard says

    Hey there! I have a question for you: so I’m developing my own photography business. I don’t have a specific targeted type of session I want to work with, I want to do everything honestly! (Sounds bad now, I’m sure eventually I’ll have a focus point lol but for now I’m up for it all) I’ve been talking with a few friends here & there about the ultimate camera to get now. Currently I own a Nikon D3200 & Sony a5000 (which are both really old for me now since I’ve had these for a few years & they’re kinda worn out), & I’m wanting to get a new camera. I’m deciding between Cannon, Sony, and now Fujifilm. But I am curious.. would fujifilm be a good camera even for a business? I know cannon knows how to bring out the best skin pigmentation, & Sony is just so clear & crisp. But would Fuji be a balance of those things? Or should I stick with looking into Sony/cannon?

  24. Lisergiko says

    Funny thing is, most image quality and dynamic range tests have shown that Canon and Nikon are the worst cameras. Don't misunderstand me, they are still great, but Fuji, Pentax, Leica, Olympus have always shown better results. While Full Frame DSLRs are great for stills, they are disappointing when it comes to video. Sony is the best Full Frame camera you can find that is impeccable for both video and still photography, but anyone would recommend a smaller sensor if you are a film maker or videographer. The Panasonic GH5 and GH5S are the best, while cheapest cameras today that can achieve professional results that can be compared to RED and ARRI. I know you'll start complaining about Panasonic's autofocus, but consider that no serious film maker uses autofocus for his footage. Autofocus is great for vlogs and one-man-crew video production, but use manual focus if you are shooting a film, commercial, music video or marriage/public event.

    EDIT: Just to confirm my knowledge and experience on the subject; I have a Canon 5D Mark III and I am incredibly disappointed by it's video quality and dynamic range. You can shoot better footage with a modern smartphone (2017-2018) than the 5D Mark III. I'm trying to sell it to buy the GH5 or GH5S; after trying it for a few days, I just could not return to that horrible 1080p video Canon is known for. It's great for stills, but I'd be ashamed to buy a 5D for video purposes…I actually am ashamed that bought it, but I didn't know much about cameras back then and this photographer I knew guaranteed me there was no better (while cheaper) camera to capture professional quality video. I got conned since the photographer was a close friend of the seller. He probably took a cut of the money I paid for convincing me to buy the camera…

  25. HeyHeySav says

  30. Gaurav Krishna says

    I am planning to buy 1st camera and It's mostly as a hobby and landscape photography. I am thinking of Fujifilm X Series X-T100 or Canon EOS 200D. What's your recommendation? also if I am able to stretch is Fujifilm X-T20 a good camera?

  31. Mrbigolnuts says

    Thanks, great vid, I used to always use cannon, but recently I went to Nikon A900, I also have a Nikon golf laser range finder and Nikon binoculars all of which are good quality, however the FujiFilm cameras I've looked at are a higher grade for certain.

  32. Yunnie YT says

    I want to capture landscape photos (that is good for lowlight) , is Nikon D5300 with the 18-55mm lens is fine?Or should I change to other brands like Canon,Sony..etc

    OMG what I learned here is Nikon is pronounced as Nay-kôn. 😅
    Kidding aside…this is really informative especially for me which is thinking what camera to buy as entry level.

  39. Railfan Bryan says

    So I am looking for a camera, either mirrorless or dslr. I want one that shoots video in 4k (preferably) or at least 1080p 60fps and takes good photos. Looking to be in the $250-350 (USD) range. What is your recommendation(s)?

  40. Ally says

    I personally always liked the newest Nikons, they have great colours and speed. It just really works well for my portfolio. I get that it has a lot of features most people won't use but if you are getting serious it is absolutely one to consider 😉

  41. Camilo Andres Gonzalez says

  43. Nadz says

  44. Brandon Wright says

    I really appreciate the fact that you don’t edit your videos like every other tech channel. I can’t stand all the jump cuts and scripted gibberish I see when I try and research new equipment. Just wanted to let you know that. Thank you

  45. John says

    All u did was bash Nikon 😑👎

  46. PREETHAM RAI says

    Thanks for the comparison, I would like to know which camera you suggest among Fuji X-T20, M-50 & Lumix-G80/85. I stay in a city and I go Trekking/hiking quite often. As my need is both in city surrounding (to say Dubai, which has beaches, Buildings and park's) and while going on Trekking (say on a nature photography-Hills, mountains and Falls). Please suggest me the one if you know better what is best for my need. If you have any other option please do let me know. Thanks In Advance
