Yup it’s definitely not that easy! 😬 Which one did you end up keeping?

@ i kept 14(M4 Pro) for now,when i need to do heavy LLM stuff,i’ll will get a 16(M4 Max)

Nice! Sounds like a solid choice 😃

@@coppensbram Thanks, keep those reviews coming 😊

For real estate you want something wide, so I’d advise this 14-35 or if you can, spend the extra cash on the RF 15-35 f2.8. It’s an investment, but you’ll earn it back! If you’re ok with a prime (less versatile though), check out the new RF 24mm 1.4 VCM. Or just to get started, the RF 16mm 2.8 (quite a bit cheaper, but not as good for professional video). Hope this helps! 👍

Yes - totally makes sense. The 11" is the portable device and the 16" the powerhouse 😎 Thanks for watching!

@@codegeass809 Indeed, I’d say this is the sweet spot price/performance. The binned Max is also a good option, but you’re not getting a lot more for the money, and can’t upgrade the ram. You’d have to go for the full, unbinned Max to get to the real next tier. I’d rather have the extra memory to 48gb rather than the binned Max chip. That’s just my opinion though 😃 Hope this helps!

Yup, indeed - each has pros and cons 😃 I’m back on team 16” too 😎 Speakers are definitely more immersive!

Why do people like you talk like that on the internet, but in real life you wouldn’t say that with a straight face to him in person. Where does being negative get you in life?

@@sotonin brilliant analysis 🤯 you should totally make a video about it!

For me: glossy :-) I do a lot of visual work, and definitely prefer the standard display. The nano texture lowers contrast a bit and also isn’t as sharp. Unless you work from outside a lot, I’d not go for it. Just my opinion though 😊

@@coppensbram thank you for the thoughts!

You’re very welcome 😀 anytime!

Yes indeed! I upgraded to the M4 gen from M1 14”. Loving the 16” - definitely the size for me! Apple makes it difficult not to want to upgrade haha! But this seems like the right time, next year will be just a spec bump, but there’s a redesign rumored for the M6 gen. 2 years is acceptable to sell and upgrade 😂

Totally makes sense in your case! Solid setup. Which monitors do you use?

Thanks bro, but I’m a designer too 😉

@coppensbram oh I see, well, you can offset the work to another designer to make yourself able to focus on create your videos! And I can create merch prints and so on too :-)

Same for me! Went back to the larger size this time 😎 That screen 🤤

@ Amazing right. 16 m4 max is a beast

@@angad23dec yup it’s really fantastic! I ended up returning the m4 pro and splurged for the max. Future proofing 😂

@ that’s the right decision!

@@angad23dec yes I’m super happy with it!

Exactly! I actually started with the 16” and swapped it for 14”. Now super happy to be back on the bigger one!

Thanks! Yup, it’s an awesome machine 🔥What spec are you going for?

@ the base model M4 16gb, 512GB (it’s going to be my first ever MacBook, so really hoping I enjoy it)

@ you’ll love it I’m absolutely sure 😎

Awesome 👊 😎 thanks for the kind words!

Thanks!

Good choice! I’ve only heard the fans kick in when I was exporting 180-ish RAW files to JPG in Lightroom. The top center of the bottom part of the laptop was also warmer at that time, but nothing hot. While Video editing in Final Cut and even exporting, I haven’t heard the fans or noticed the temps going up. I guess you’ll only hear/feel it when you’re taxing the CPU and GPU at the same time (which is what Lightroom exports do). All in all, you shouldn’t worry about thermal performance or fan noise 😎 Hope this helps!

​@@coppensbram thank you! Yes you reassured me a lot, that's what I hoped :) My main uses are a lot of writing, some photo and video editing in the range of 30 minutes video export. I upgrade from a 2012 13" macbook pro, which i still love, but it is literally burning to the touch, I use layers of insulating paddings when I use it on my lap 😂.. so thank you, I'm looking forward to open the box soon

@figo9246 oooh that will be quite the upgrade! You’ll be super happy 😉 Let me know how it goes!

Thanks 👊 😎 Glad you like the video!

Thank you very much 👊 😎

Awesome! 😎 I’m happy it was useful! 👊

Thanks for the kind words 👊 I really enjoyed editing these videos!

Ahhh cool - so an identical setup to what I had! 😎 The M4 Pro is a beast isn't it? Especially with 48GB memory! Yeah, I was also considering waiting for the M4 Studio, and speccing that up for my main workhorse. The M4 Ultra will be ridiculous! 🔥 But maybe a bit overkill for me? But I think this time, I'll go for the 1 device setup. I mean, at least try it for at least a year and see which I prefer 🙈 I'm really leaning towards the unbinned 16" M4 Max with 64GB. I've learned the same lessons the hard way haha - it's just Apple's crazy upgrade prices... Let me know what you end up with in a couple months 😎

Thanks 👊 Glad you like it!

Yes - definitely team Silver here 😎 Not only does it look better and timeless (in my opinion), it’s also much more fingerprint resistant! I definitely feel the 4tb ssd is the sweet spot for me. 2tb is just too tight, especially with a couple video projects and footage. And for memory, yeah 128gb would be awesome! But I’m thinking 64gb will be the best price/performance ratio for me. Especially that you have to upgrade to the top tier M4 Max to get these memory options 😅

Indeed - that would be a good comparison! I’m wondering if would affect the export time in Final Cut 🤔 and by what margin! I think in my case it’s more about the extra memory though.

It's always tough to choose with Apple isn't it 😬 I ran a quick test for you 😉 Note I'm using the regular version of Lightroom (not Classic), but I do have all photos locally, so performance should be similar. I also rebooted to have everything out of memory - and I had no other applications open (apart from the usual ones like NordVPN, CleanMyMac, AdobeCC, OneDrive, etc.). Then opened Lightroom and was browsing a couple of my local albums - couple thousands photos (most photos have masks and edits). Opened a few, zoomed in, back to the grid and same for another photo, then switching albums, etc. So the usual way you'd browse your work 😀 Activity Monitor went up to 26-29GB of Memory. But Lightroom was only using 5-7GB of that. So I would recommend you upgrade to 48GB of Memory. It's better to have it than not and then need it and regret you didn't 😂 Hope this helps!

Yes! I think it's the sweet spot for the M4 generation 🔥😎 I'm still debating to go for the M4 Max though - my videos tend to use quite a bit of memory 😬

Great minds think alike 👊 You’re in for a treat! Really solid upgrade! The 14” will be awesome as well, so much power in a small form factor!

I believe the quality on the R7 without teleconverter will be better than the R8 with teleconverter. However, it all depends on your use case. If you shoot in dark(er) environments like a forest or something, you might benefit from the full frame sensor on the R8. Hope this helps! 😉

Well…. That would be M4 Max 🤪

@ true 😂

Not sure what you mean? 🤔

Thanks! 😊

Thank you for the kind words 👊 They both have the same sensor, so it’s pretty much even for low light performance. However, since the R8 doesn’t have IBIS, you might need to crank up the shutter speed a bit more in low light photography. But overall I’d say it’s the same :-)

Thanks for the kind words 👊

You’re very welcome! 😉 Glad it was helpful. I don’t have a course at the moment, but feel free to let me know what you’d like to see - always good for more video ideas!

@@coppensbram Thank you for your reply. I will send you an email if that's ok with you. I am really impressed how informative and detailed your tutorial is.

@ninoslavrandjelovic8100 all good ;-)

Oooh the M6 II - I also had that camera. Real nice and compact!

That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️ I’m sure you’ll capture a ton of stunning photos and videos 😎

Awesome, glad it was helpful! And thanks for the sub 😎

earned a subscriber btw

Haaaa yeah that’s the Apple Tax! 😂 Their pricing is crazy.

Yes indeed! It’s really hard to justify the 13” when you have a MacBook 😅 And somehow, I always feel like I want to get more work done on the 13”, and then run into the limitations of iPadOS. On the other hand, the thin and light form factor of the 13” make it much better than previous models. That screen! 😎 I’ve returned the 13” now, but I already miss it haha.

@ yeah holding it at Apple it was the first time where I was very tempted by the extra screen real estate since it’s so crazy thin and light!

You’re very welcome, glad you liked it! 👊

You’re very welcome! Glad it was helpful 😃

Glad you like the video! 😎 Honestly, I'd just go with the full frame sensor of the R8. It's better in every aspect compared to the aps-c on the R7. I think it's just more versatile, especially for your use case. Full frame will work better for wide angle street photography. Just get a spare battery and you'll be set! On the other hand, if you can bump up your budget a bit, the R6 II is the perfect all-round camera, which has all of the advantages of both the R7 and R8, plus some other stuff! In terms of lenses, you can't go wrong with any of the RF glass. For street and portrait, I'd probably get something wide, and something long. I love zoom lenses, so I'd say the RF 14-35 or 15-35 for your wide to regular shots, and the RF 70-200 for portraits. Alternatively, you might get a standard zoom range like the RF 24-105 or 24-70. Hope this helps!

@@coppensbram thanks a lot

Hi! Unfortunately no. It’s even not on the more expensive R6 II. For 4k 120 you need the R5 or R5 II, but that’s a lot more expensive! I do understand why you’d want 120fps though. Here’s the trick I use: record at 4k 60fps, and then in Final Cut Pro slow down the footage 50% with “Smooth Slo-Mo”, which uses AI. Here’s a link: support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/final-cut-pro/ver40b00150/mac

Hi there! It depends on the distance you have from the subject. Assuming you mean in a room inside, you’re better off with the wider lenses, like the sigma 16mm, or the wide zooms 10-18 or 11-20. If you’re outside or have more space, you have a bit more flexibility 😊 Hope this helps!

Hi 👋 No, unfortunately that won’t work… you’ll need a F38 base plate on the camera. Ulanzi does have other tripods that work with Arca Swiss though! Take a look at the Zero-Y (my favorite) or TT-09 (video tripod).

@@coppensbram unfortunately I ordered the f38 tripod before checking 😔. So I won't be able to do vertical pano photos with my camera as the L bracket is arca I think... 🤔

Ahhh ok… But maybe you could just get an additional base plate f38, and attach that to your L-bracket and just leave it on?

@@coppensbram I guess that's what I am going to do 😀. I just say the tripod looks really cool and lightweight. Looking forward to bringing it with me toJapan and Bali!

@jd5787 yes it’s pretty awesome - I use it all the time 😎 you’ll definitely be happy with it!

That's strange, it should work! How are you transferring to PC? Into an app (eg. Lightroom) directly or first into folders on your disk?

You’re very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions 😀

Definitely a nice lens for low light! 😎
