10 minutes in and Chris looked wasted already. One of the better B&W episodes of the last few years
lol 😂
5 min. You were being too nice
The ‘boop’ at 6 minutes tho 😂
It's about body mass though - he's half the other guy's size !
I look forward to this post all year long!
Please, for the love of God. Don't. Ever. Stop. This. Series.
You guys are amazing, props to Peta and my holiday's truly aren't complete until the games begin and the drinks are flowing.
Cheers!
Edit - *Boop!*
Edit Edit - Orientated Mother Trucker!
Edit edit edit - I woke my wife and sleeping baby in the room up 2 or 3 times trying to stifle laughter. Wish me luck trying to explain that one in the morning lmao
YES! the tradition lives on!
For photographers, videographers, and camera nerds the world over - this is peak entertainment
Get them more drinks…. and let them debate…..I can bing on it till Christmas!!
Chris' lens-juggling abilities are terrifying
Terrifyingly amazing! I flip lenses better when I’m drunk. Didn’t even drop it once!
Lens juggling and lens chugging
@@niccollsvideo- well, not in the clips that made the edit. ;)
I was dying of laughter with jordans face! hehehehehehe
I was praying don't be like Linus from LTT, and drop that....
You know Christmas is coming when Chris and Jordan do the yearly run down with drinks and games! :D
Also, you can't have Christmas without Chris ;)
I’m the best ornament around!
Oi mate, now you make me spit my drink, lol. Preparing a cloth for next year then, best holidays for everybody. @@niccollsvideo
Chris deciding to drink from the lens at the end is peak camera nerd comedy.
17:45 oh please, Chris ages like fine wine.
Awe shucks!
All the X-S20 owners such as myself watching this video… 😂 Glad you’re still doing this episode.
Panasonic s5ii x. The one and only. Proud user of Lumix cameras since 2008. Never looked back.
27:58 Chris taking a lens swig 😂
Camera Guess Who? Is an absolutely inspired idea. I want an app-based version that generates a random board from the full DPR database.
Probably not a game with mass market appeal, but I think I could be a champion.
Getting pissed whilst making any kind of video carries an element of risk that it might all go badly wrong.
Big thumbs up to Chris and Jordan for making, every year, great content whilst absolutely bladdered.
Nobody else I can think of could do it.
Classic again and loved it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
So basically, I have been watching you two idiots for over 10 years now.😊😊
Who’s the idiot now! 😂
"what if he enjoys it" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 , this duo is just something else
Chris’ competition suggestion for next year: “competitive reloading, target shooting.” [while drinking?]
Jordan: 😳
Love this tradition. Thanks for continuing.
You can tell you're watching a Canadian when their breath is freezing while they're wearing short sleeves.
Thanks for another year of nice and entertaining camera reviews and podcasts. Glad to see you guys landed well with Peta Pixel and look forward to seeing more next year. Happy holidays!
I’m so glad this series (and you both) continues despite what had happened.
The highlight of the camera gear talk!!! Thank you for all your hard work, cheers guys!
Beer and camera talk, what's not to love about this.
Would be curious to know what brewery this is!
We state it in the video but it's Tool Shed Brewing Company here in Calgary
@@niccollsvideo Literally saw that mentioned a few seconds after my comment haha. Thanks again dude. Cheers
@steezyasfvck Damn I never knew you were interested in photo related topics as well. Appreciate the music you share on your platform🙌
@@steezyasfvckYour Lo-Fi tracks are beautiful! I’m gonna check out more of your channel when I’m tying flies and such.
A fixed date every year! I'm celebrating it. Greetings from Vienna, Austria!
And...cut!! I laughed so hard at this.
Thanks for another brilliant and funny best and worst, I am so glad you kept this tradition going. Although it is a bit early I wanted to say thank you PetaPixel for a great 2023 and Happy Christmas PetaPixel team. PS.
I'm only a third in and already Chris is off his rocker.
You 2 are just hilarious. I'm always looking forward to your end of the year best of videos. Buuurrrp!
That M11 monochrom is the correct answer. Considering picking up the Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome, an entirely new system for me, just because the leica is out of my budget. I really want those beautiful black and white tones and crazy low light / better noise distribution from removing that color array filter.
You would get your beautiful black and white tones via playing around with e.g. curves in Photoshop or Lightroom.
True analog-looking noise can only be achieved when photographing noise free at low ISO (or denoising higher ISO images), i.e. getting rid of any digital noise, and then simulate film noise with e.g. a dedicated plug-in.
crazy low light? You wouldn't want photographing auroras in B&W? I haven't seen a single noteworthy B&W photo done in "crazy low light". Not worth taking.
With a color camera, you keep decisive B&W benefits:
1- higher dynamic range (for high contrast scenes). This is achieved from the RAW converter's highlight recovery, which exploits that one or two color channels still have tonal information, while the brightest color already hits the histogram limit. A B&W camera (recording the sum of all colors) would be already clipped = useless there, while a color camera can recover e.g. bright white clouds from the not-yet-clipped color channels.
2- better high ISO results (lower noise), because denoising software has access to the color noise, and treats that particularly efficiently with dedicated algorithms. Whereas a B/W camera simply throws all color noise on top of luminance noise. Fox example, on a color camera, a noise outlier pixel will have a color, making it easy to separate it from the scene's texture, and to remove it. Whereas on a B/W camera, it is as gray as the scene's texture, therefore easily overlooked by a denoiser.
Also, the next-gen AI denoisers require color images, they are trained solely on how noise appears on such images.
3- applying flexible color weighing when converting to B/W in postprocessing. For example, locally differently for different parts of the image. Or even negative weights for a color for more creative options.
4- removing the strong color fringing of Pentax lenses, with the help of the color of the fringes. Not possible with B&W cameras, where fringes would be white or gray fringes in their full glory, baked into the photo forever.
5- retouching, such removing distracting objects, or any workflow requiring masks: Only with full color (i.e. before B&W conversion), such masks (i.e. the objects selections) may have sufficient quality, or may be even possible.
Furthermore, the next-generation ultra-high quality AI selection aids have been trained solely on colored objects.
The Pentax K3 III monochrome is indeed awesome. It’s a different experience. Those talking about converting image to BnW in Photoshop haven’t tried the camera. You have to work with the RAW images from the K3 III monochrome to see the difference. KobieMC channel and others have great discussions of the surprising results. Low light? Indeed, phenomenal. I own one and love it.
I stumbled upon this page randomly while researching cameras as I want to get into wildlife photography. You guys have made me laugh for sure and are helping me to narrow down what I'm looking for while also learning about photography. Thank you!
keep that grind chris nickles .. Sick
peta-Files lol 😆
I was afraid this video wasn't coming this year, but I'm happy to see it. What I need t know is how many drinks Chris's had at the beginning of the video and how many at the end, maybe next year you can put a counter! I know I would appreciate it
I had the mimosa and then about six full pints.
Ah, looked like a strong mimosa! haha. You won the drink count for sure, that's a victory@@niccollsvideo
Dear PetaPixel! Please make videos for 2024. You got two guys who are amazing talent, and are instrumental in the photography industry. Let them create whatever they want! Thank you.
The worst trend this year is shit EVF in cameras like the A7CR x-s20 R7 & R8 other than that it is a great time to be a photographer!
Totally. Getting 2.3 million dots in 2023 in cameras at and over 1K$ is ridiculous
28:00 Chris took the wrong cup to drink
I paused my big bang theory marathon to watch this yearly tradition. Lets go!!!!
Thank you for the chapter markings! I wish everyone did this.
Hearing "burn in hell simian" nearly dropped me into a coma lmao
I bought the Z8 with the Trinity! Just brilliant package!
I just bought the 20-70mm lens, so it makes me happy to hear it’s #1 for the year.
Nikon Z8 well deserved!
Super Monkey Ball for the Gamecube was peak gaming
Amazing video as always!one of the best duos!
You guys make TH-cam better
Fun Video fellas. It was good to see you at the Shed that day and see you in action!!! Chris ... love the drinking from the lens at the end. Cheers.
You guys were right at that drunk line between “I love you” and a fistfight.
25:20 “does your company also make photocopiers?” LOL Chris
Im glad to see the xs20 got the nod. Ive been considering that or the a6700 so that's good to see. Also im surprised the Nikon Zf didnt get any love. Seems like the next x100v to me
Not me! And not most Nikon folks lol. They did love the Z9 I’ll give them that though.
Chris is a well known “Sony Shill” 😂😂
@@mikedfurman ya but to be fair the same can be said for the x100v. It didn't really hit its stride until several years after it actual release
@@akyerit yeah. And I’m only kidding, Chris is great and he calls himself a “Sony shill” as a joke.
Great film questions and great answers!!! Especially Jordan for the Before Trilogy 🔥
Damn ... it's the time of the year ... again. Crazy times, crazy times indeed. The episode I'm waiting a whole year for!
25:56 that time of year indeed.
The real winner is the Audience! Who get to keep you two going!
10 min in the video and Chris was seeing unicorns :)
So fun and informative. Merci! You always look to have fun and your reviews are always top notch. Thanks for your great work.
25:20 DoEs yOuR ComPaNy aLso MaKeS PhoToCOPiers?!, ahhh yes the the perfect question for a camera guess who.
your review of the 20-70 was the nudge that got me to pick it up, absolutely in love with the thing.
Great video and glad to see my S5II as the #1 video camera! Crazy that it's actually cheaper than the G9II on the holiday sale right now. It's a steal.
Nikon has really impressed this year. Glad to see it coming back up, good show guys 👍🏼
With the R100 Canon really should've designed it more as a replacement for the M6, though a bit bigger with the mount diameter. Something like that paired with the RF 28mm would be a fantastic travel combo
M6 is much better than this crap. The loss of direction at Canon is why I switched to Sony now.
It's absolutely mindboggling that Canon has such a large market share. The most expensive of any system when accounting for performance, the only system blocking 3rd party lenses, and much more dumb stuff. I hope Nikon can regain some of the market share they deserve.
Ah yes, it's that time of year once again!
they are so awesome, love this videos
“Maybe I’m a morning person” 🤣🤣
Drunk Chris might just be the best thing ever
I am. Thanks you for noticing. I try my best.
@@niccollsvideo 😂
My dream, as a 68 year old boy, would have been to be there with you, right behind the camera, but to experience those moments of joy, and little alcohol with you, but I live on a small island very far from you. But I'm sure that one day we will meet. I follow you from Dp.Review, now you are on this magnificent channel, and I will always follow you. Warm greetings from the island of Capri
I’d happily do the next best worst video on Capri!!!
I was waiting for it. Tradition 😅
Thanks Guys for another great year.
Nikon really won me back this year after abandoning them for Sony 8 years ago.
Great mirrorless options, the awesome retro Zf (which didn’t half-ass it), impressive colors, fast processors, amazing autofocus systems, what’s not to love?
PS: These guys have more and more over the years become my go-to for camera reviews. Straightforward yet breezy and entertaining at the same time.
My top 3 best camera of the year is : 1) M11m 2) GFX100ii 3) Nikon Zf
Holy Cripes that was hilarious 😅😂🤣. I was only waiting for Chris to put his arm around Jordan and, drunkenly slur out, "I love you man....😵💫", then puke on the coffee table. Too freaking funny, loved it 👍. Oh, AND I did take advantage of your discount to Audiio through your affiliate link sooo......yeah, you owe me a beer. 😁
Another one down!, far out! lots of laughs. Thanks guys :)
Thank you for the wonderful video (very fun) and stills / video insights!!
I didn't even watch the photo content, I just came for the games. Hell, all cameras are now pretty great, pick whatever you like.
Don't you two go all Hall & Oates on us😂
Yes, the boys are back with their end-of-year drunken shenanigans. Thank you for yet another (I'm sure) highly entertaining vid. P.S. The Cube movies are Canadian? No shit! Loved that scifi series.
Great as usual, thanks guys. Cheers
Love this end of the Year Videos of you both. And honestly there is no one who can compete with you in this regards. Legen... Wait a second... Dary! 😂
Drunk Chris is my spirit animal 😂
Honestly this is a fabulous holiday tradition
Chris drunk is the best thing on the interwebs.
It's like watching toddlers do camera reviews and toddlers are generally brutally honest too. Best camera review of 2023😂
I love you guys. Don't ever stop doing you.
You got it all correct in fact Panasonic really dominated the camera releases on 2023. This is a great video!
This is awesome can't believe I been following you guys for 10 years too, keep up the good work boys
Here you are ! i was wondering if there will be a christmas show this year, and i got served :) Thank you mates !
im glad to know my xs20 made the cut, amazing apsc camera at a great price!
The lens swigs. 😂 Entertaining as always!
TH-cam ad followed by in video audio ad followed by tool shed ad followed by plugging movies / games. Video starts at 5:33
Legend. Look forward to these every year
Loved it. One of the all time best. Thank you
Thanks for another fun video for the end of the year!
Hysterical lads - Jordan on fire, Chris getting steadily more drunk and irate - loved it
Now i dont feel so weird for listening to the podcast in the bedroom during happy fun time.
thx guys, this was so good, very funny.
I loved every minute of it!.
Only thing missing here was a food fight.😁
Already looking forward to next year👀
Always one of the highlights of the year. And something I actually look forward to. Thank you again. And yes, I am drinking too. 🍺
Yes!!! Been waiting on this.
0:12 the golden moment🤣
Thanks for keeping the tradition alive 🎊
My favorite time of the year! Wish I was in the audience chugging a few IPAs with you.
So entertaining! Great stuff
