    If only these cameras had like hmmm idk 2gb of built in storage to cache to. But instead practically no cameras offered built in storage, just "buffer storage". Imagine a 2TB camera, that alone would be a huge selling point for companies

      @mattjohnsonphoto Leica M10 actually has a 2GB buffer actually...at $6k used lol. The $9k M11 has 64GB (😲 so much!) built in lol (the M11-P is 256GB though.) The Hasselblad X2D 100C actually had 1TB built into that $8,200 price lol. It's crazy when a 4TB really good SSD is under $500, capable of over 3000MB/s, more than enough for 12K Q0 recording from 2 streams of 12k lol.

    You absolutely don't need a UV filter, lenses don't scratch easily. UV filters are just an expensive piece of glass that if anything only add more glare...

    • @mattjohnsonphoto
      @mattjohnsonphoto День тому

      I disagree. A brand new photographer that is just getting used to their first camera should absolutely have a UV filter on their lenses. Once you are confident and comfortable with your camera and changing lenses, then you could stop using it.

    IMHO the only good thing i can say from this is the strap and extra batteries. It should be a given that people should buy V30 or faster cards as a minimum. Vertical grips are not a Must have. Only reason for someone to get one is to fit more batteries, or to shoot portraits all day. Not everyone needs a memory card reader, they may have a built in one on their laptop/PC. (a faster memory card might be useful if you are using super fast cards) 50mm 1.8 is a good beginner lens though. UV filters is the worst advice i have ever seen being thrown out there like they are free pokemon cards. I could stand behind polarising filter but nope to UV. Not touching that crap

    • @mattjohnsonphoto
      @mattjohnsonphoto День тому

      How are people who don't know about fast memory cards supposed to know that V30 is a given? I say in the video that if your computer has a memory card slot to use it, but if not, then buy a card reader. Beginner photographers should have a UV filter until they get more comfortable with their cameras and lenses. Once you are confident with your gear you could stop using them.

    I would not recommend buying memory cards from Amazon. Whenever someone posts that their memory card failed it is commonly from Amazon. I also have had a CF Express Type B card from Amazon fail even though they are supposed to be very reliable cards. I'd recommend a real camera store, it's not worth a card failing!

    Nice list, even though some of the entries really come down to personal preference, I'm with you regarding the camera strap as manufacturer supplied once are usually horrible, and Peak Design is indeed a great alternative with a nice lineup of other camera gear. But wouldn't recommend a battery grip for everyone, it makes the camera bulky and cumbersome to handle, if you bought it for the "I need a small one I will take everywhere and replace my smartphone to take even better pictures"-bundle. A bigger but however: V30 is not the search term you should use, when looking for fast cards in regards to photography. This specification is for video, hence the V, and in this case guarantees 30 megabytes of continues writing per second, which the SD Association itself says only covers Full-HD video depending on the manufactures chosen bitrates for that format. A single RAW file from Canon's R5 45 megapixel sensor will use up that speed and space and you are sputtering along at 1 frame per second, compared to the 20 frames per second the camera can handle at top speed. If you really want to make sure your camera can shoot for multiple seconds without the buffer lag, check if your cameras supports UHS-II, which can achieve much higher speeds (at a much higher cost). Those cards use an additional row of connectors as seen 1:19 and can even handle RAW bursts of 30 megapixel plus cameras. If you outgrow that speed you will probably have to switch cameras anyway and they will ditch SD slots in favor of CFexpress Typ A slots (mostly Sony alpha 7-series cameras) or Typ B slots (usually in higher end Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras) and their respective speeds in the GB/s range.

    • @mattjohnsonphoto
      @mattjohnsonphoto 12 днів тому

      Great comment and I agree with everything you say. I try to make my videos for the absolute beginner photographer (think high school kid in a photo 1 class), and for those guys, a v30 card will be plenty fast. CF express cards are phenomenal, but I don't even use those as there's nothing I do that needs a card that fast.

    • @thatguywitha.camera
      @thatguywitha.camera 11 днів тому

      ​@@mattjohnsonphoto True, I have yet to run into the limits of SD UHS-II cards for my personal photo sessions, client work however can be demanding. Just wanted to give a bit more info on the standards, as write speeds can get extreme with the mega pixels and frames per second some cameras can get to. You wouldn't want to end up with just one picture of the touch down from the high school football match if the buffer is still writing to a Class 10 card 📷

    I find UV filters to be a horrible waste of money. If you just spent hundreds of dollars in some quality glass, why would you put some piece of cheap plastic in front of it? Use the lens cap to protect the lens when not in use and clean the dust and such from the glass with air and microfiber cloths and you'll be okay. If you treat it right, glass doesn't scratch easily. ND filters on the other hand, if you get good ones, open up a world of creative possibilities, so I would recommend investing in a good one and it's one of the accessories I would buy first

    • @mattjohnsonphoto
      @mattjohnsonphoto 12 днів тому

      It depends on who is using the camera. My videos are designed for brand new photographers and I think brand new photographers should have a UV filter. Do pro photographers need one, probably not.

    • @thatguywitha.camera
      @thatguywitha.camera 12 днів тому

      ​@@mattjohnsonphoto Let's find the middle ground between you two: I would suggest adding only a clear glass filter instead of a UV filter if you really want to add a layer of protection to the front element. They are cheaper, and usually don't have any special coatings on them that introduce false colors into the image, which could happen on the cheaper ones. UV filter in my opinion are still recommended because we used to buy them for analog, but film was sensitiv to UV rays and you could push the blue tones a bit. Nowadays the blue is one white balance and color correction dial away in camera, or can be corrected in post. I usually only add effect filter, like NDs or circular polarizers. But you wouldn't find me without my lens hood on, regardless if the sun is out or not, as it usually provides that extra bump protection.
