I totally agree!! im carrying a $1,500 5diii and 5div canon camera, and one of my friends carrying a $6,000 z9 Nikon camera and his work is okay, im like seriously!!

I started out with a Canon T3i and the 18-55 kit lens I inherited from my brother. Then I purchased the EF-S 18-135, which was a better lens. I did not know anything except the Green button, but I could see things to photograph, and I got lucky a lot. So I promised myself that if I could complete structured basic classes I would upgrade my camera body, which I did, so I upgraded to a Canon 90D at the first of 2023, with a 32.5 MP sensor. I shot a birthday at Chucky Cheese a week after delivery in manual, and it was a disaster. Children move fast. I shot my Granddaughter's Junior prom with a EF 50mm F/1.2 I convinced myself to buy, and later convinced myself to buy a EF 24-70 f/2.8. Single shots good, group shots a disaster. I snapped everything since, and I am getting better, or I have a higher rate of success. I'm around a year in, and I still feel like an armature, because I am. I almost convinced myself to but a 5D MK IV used, because I use "L glass" on my 90D, so I have the lens. I am not making money with my equipment, so no for now. For Now I am focusing on learning post processing, which is amazing. Structured classes on that also.
Your videos have improved so much. I mean you are now "dropping fire" 😀 Your fast "just the facts" style makes me smile. This video is so spot-on! I am currently learning this "no one cares" lesson (again). I posted a 65:24 aspect ratio monochrome panorama on FB yesterday and referenced the XPAN cameras and Crop. The photo is awesome, but in our can't-bother-to-stop-phone-scrolling-and-make-the-photo-bigger-world nobody cares. It's sorta simultaneously sad and hilarious. It will make a great 15x40" print. I have three prints sold. 🤠
I’m a Fuji shooter (crop sensor) and my circle of friends are mostly full frame Canon shooters which constantly remind me that I should get a full frame camera 😝.. but I love my Fuji especially the colors and film simulations .. thanks for making this video yes gear doesn’t matter creating beautiful images does 💯
Honestly crop sensors are only an issue if you can't get your focal length/depth of field the way you want it.(Or if you need lots of megapixels) I hear wildlife guys like them because they get the extra reach on each focal length... Thanks for watching!
Excellent commentary! I never realized that I was an "Uncle Bob," and that one fact hit home! Everything you said is soooo valid! Thank you..(old man in the Philippines)
Hello Hayward, early morning in Germany and a new video from you. You are so on point with this video. I want to be creative and not an Uncle Bob, so I‘m skipping the tech talk videos and looking for inspiration. Also I skipped Instagram , TikTok and moved to Flickr and 500px. Better for my photography soul 👍. Thank you for this great video. Best regards from Germany.
Finally, someone speaks the truth! It's all about the content. I have taken fine pictures with a 2008 Nikon D700 camera and even my pocket-sized Canon S100.
Interesting. I want to buy a new camera. I'm particularly interested in shooting landscapes but I don't want to spend a lot of time understanding complicated cameras. Instead, I intend to buy a high-quality compact camera. What do you think about that? Greetings from a guy from Norway.
If you have no starting point my best recommendation is to find a way to actually try some cameras. Either a store that will let you test or maybe a rental. When you don’t have a starting point you need some kind of real world feedback/experience. In terms of compacts you have to see if they have the image quality level that works for you.
Funny story. Last year I attended a school's Photography workshop in Dallas. There were two new photogs who also there with freshly minted mirrorless Sony cameras. Long story short, they had the money and bought the cameras not even knowing how up use them. I suppose they thought that If you have a high end camera, then that equates to high end photographs.
In general you are right, but there’s exceptions. Some customers demand a medium format camera! And try to take pictures for libraries and museums with a Canon Nikon or Sony! They demand MF Phase One or Hasselblad! Maybe it’s just in Europe, but that’s a fact!
Yes, this is definitely true. Those kinds of clients I generally refer to as commercial clients and they absolutely have equipment requirements. Thanks for watching!
I watch a channel on TH-cam named "Tin House Studio". He shoots hi res photos for high dollar clients. One of his first cameras was the Canon 5Ds, at 50 MP. He has way more money in his lens than he does his camera bodies. One of the talks he gives is how hard it is to reach the top tier clients. It took him 15 years. I find his channel fascinating, because he is honest about what it takes. If you don't love doing it, you will hate it.
Not entirely true. When i help my daughter sometimes as a second shooter some people who don’t know jack will say that’s an amazing camera and that must be why your photography is so good.

Don't be distracted by the technical part in your photography away from the final result. It's all about the final image.
Camera & Lens Choices DON'T MATTER for _Most_ Photography.

Learning never needs to be traded in, it holds its value 😉
You are so right, as a keen amatuer I always look at the camera that other photographers use.
I think its just human nature.
It’s not a bad thing, it just gets in the way when you’re actually trying to do the photography. Thanks for watching!

Hey hey hey, SALES! That’s the ultimate validation, congrats! Online gives with one hand and takes with the other, I hear ya! Thanks for watching!
Never thought my camera or lens choice mattered to anyone but me, but I never saw a need to make a video about it.

Thanks. I really love your "No BS" approach to making videos.

Wow! What a fast response! Hahaha

Thanks for watching!
Once again, another great video!
Thanks for watching!
As long as you take great photos the clients don't care what you use! 😁
So true!

Soooo many people do! Thanks for watching!
"There are hundreds of U Bob's out there, when I'm at social events I just use my phone, nobody bats an eyelid at that."🙂
Exactly! 🤣
You’re the best.

It’s a great channel, I can relate to a lot of what he says even though I don’t shoot commercial anymore.
So few photographers are instantly recognizable; as, neither am I btw…Still working on it 😅
So am I! 🤣
🎯
Not entirely true. When i help my daughter sometimes as a second shooter some people who don’t know jack will say that’s an amazing camera and that must be why your photography is so good.
I’ve always loved how they don’t realize what they’re saying about you when they say that 🤭🤣
They also assume that DSLRs are superior to mirrorless cameras due to the larger size.
🤣
Ha! This is funny and so true!
This video is like, finding out that gun powder exist after the war 😅
But matter to you! To pRODUCE GOOD QEALITY PICTURES YOU HAVE TO CARE!
