You (and Alice) are trying to convince us that forking out 600 pounds for a semi-camera body without a screen, without a lens that has an additional variable to manage which is the phone’s battery makes MORE sense than learning how to use a camera and get one instead? Can someone who signed up for a preorder please help me understand why?
It looks like shit, you cannot even hold the camera without the phone getting in the way and touching the screen. The other failed ideas with a sensor attaching to the phone like sony and olympus did was better, but still a fail
@@Culturelens I made a video last week rigging it out. It’s epic for that! Although I’d say McLaren is a better example than red bull right now mate! 😂
@@cristibaluta you’re a cheerful waste of space aren’t you? Literally every comment is you moaning and whining like a little baby! Haven’t heard from you since yesterday though. Did mummy change the WiFi password again because you didn’t do your homework?
Are you a related person?? No one had a camera. After reading the review, I understand why delivery was delayed. The features they mentioned aren't quite ready. Even the slow autofocus of cameras from 10 years ago is not yet ready, coming soon?? It's like a review that appeases bad public opinion by saying, "Just wait because it's real." (But it's not as good as they said.) And people don't know because they always delete bad comments.
@@mnmnmnmn4541 I’m not related. I bought them (like all my gadgets) with my own money. I interviewed Vishal on this channel about three years ago so I’m an early adopter.
I am for the idea of the Alice Camera, but at it's current price point it really is not worth it. Comparing it to my Canon M50 (Or the newer Canon R50) which both can be found new for the same price or cheaper, without a wait-list, the choice is simple. (Going on the new price of the Alice, and not the "sale" price). I don't know if I can live-stream from my M50 via my phone since I only use it for photography, but since the Alice does not (yet) have auto focus, you're better off using your phone anyways. As for the vlogging bit, it does seem inconvenient to have your phone (read display) at a different position from the camera itself. I won't say if it is problematic or not, as again, I don't do this and have no experience with it. I would also like to see a built in flash on the Alice, I am assuming it now uses the flash on your phone, which is not even remotely comparable to even a built in flash on a DSLR or Mirrorless. Another downside I see is that you now have to make sure both the camera and your phone is charged. Most people keep their phone charged overnight anyways, but many have low battery at the end of the day. If you want to go out and use the camera after school or work, you might run into the problem of waiting for a device to charge. This is a minor problem though, and I'm not going to hold it against the Alice, just something to keep in mind. The Canon cameras also connect to your phone over WiFi and provide, from what I can tell from your review, the same features. If the Alice was at 300 USD and not 950 USD, with a built in flash and with a better, more fleshed out software, hell yes. A decent body where you essentially only pay for a camera sensor using your phone for all the processing is brilliant for someone that want a cheap entry into photography, when done well. I would like to the the Alice, side by side with a camera at the same price with a equal lens to properly understand what the camera is capable of when it comes to photography.
@@allthegearnoidea69 With the price of the Alice camera (off sale) being listed at $1295 on their website, I'm leaning towards two options at the same pricepoint: Canon EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera with 18-45mm Lens Content Creator Kit - $1299 (Includes lens and microphone - camera with lens on it's own is cheaper) Sony a6400 Mirrorless Camera with 55-210mm Lens Kit - $1196 (Prices gathered from B&H photo) I come from a photography viewpoint, so that's what I'm most interrested in, but would be nice to see how they go up against eachother in video as well.
so you see a moment you want to capture, how many seconds it takes to take your first picture The size of the camera already quet large, then the phone. WHy not just use a6000 that same size and takes 0 seconds to power up???
@@Amazing_nature_videos339 good point. But when I take my digital camera out and it’s asleep it’s still 10 seconds. If I was intentionally out filming or taking photos then my camera wouldn’t be asleep, neither would my Alice camera.
What are the benefits over using a dedicated camera? You say that this camera in the hands of a good photographer will yield better results than the Leica Q3. How? What does this camera bring to the table that the Q3 doesn't?
So the comparison I made is that if someone knows what they’re doing, they’ll get equal or better results from this, than an amateur like me would get from a Q3.
@@allthegearnoidea69 Sure, but the same applies to this camera vs a smart phone; someone that knows what they're doing will get equal or better results from their smart phone than an amateur will get out of the Alice camera. I really like the concept of this camera. But modern mirrorless camera's are already able to be constantly connected to your phone, so that you have a lower resolution image directly on your phone to share online. What does this camera do better?
This product simply makes no sense ))) You can sell anything on the internet these days using stretched and absurd comparisons like this (and modern digital marketing techniques), I guess 😅
His comparison is literally equivalent to saying that an F1 professional racer will do a faster lap on a track driving an average car than an average person driving an F1 car.
Having had an Olympus Air... finally... a replacement This with the Panasonic F1.7 20mm nicely fills that gap in coverage between 24mm and 95-125mm most cameraphones have. And it's such fun to shoot tethered remotely (I still use a Sony QX just to do that, but it's getting pretty old).
Super interested in this. I think auto focus is a MUST before i take the plunge though. You mention live streaming from it, does it integrate with the likes you Instagram/TH-cam? Or can you stream to those platforms from their app? Great video, cheers boss.
@@Parallel_ hey! So the next app version will allow you to stream direct to those platforms. Yes autofocus is soooooo important! Coming very soon. I shall be testing that next week. I suck at photography at the best of times, so manual focus just makes everything garbage for me! 😂
How can your conclusion be "I am completely sold" after demonstrating that you really struggle to take photographs of non-moving subjects due to having no EVF and no AF. You also criticize the way MF works. But your conclusion is not reflecting this criticism in any way and therefore does not feel genuine to me.
I’m sold on the feel, the idea, the results I got in spite of the current limitations. Autofocus is on the way. I love what these kids did. I’m a big fan of it. That’s how my conclusion came about.
Honestly i loved the idea but seeing the actual product i'm quite disappointed. The reason most people in general use their phones to take photos is the convenience of having it in their pocket. This , once equipped is bigger than some actual mirrorless cameras. Because the image is transmitted over wifi and not cable, there is a noticeable delay , which is not great. I would have loved a much smaller "sensor only" type of system that can be easily pocketed but in the current format you have no reason to pay for that. It's not small enough to carry everywhere, it's not even using the phone's superior computing capabilities which for me would've been to be able to edit the raw right there on the phone in a fast way or at least have some way to make heavy edits or profiles directly on camera. This is just a camera without a screen which is stupid. Also your video reeks of sponsored content and is really the best anti-ad i've ever seen. Now i know i'd never buy that thing.
@@aazdu03 your response started off really well! But that last part! 😂 I’ve got about twenty viewers for most videos mate. And there is no amount of money they could pay me to endorse them if I didn’t believe in it. Look at my videos where I’m slagging off Leica cameras!
