Good to see the sheep! England has several times the sheep we have here in the US, despite a small population and much smaller land area. Thanks for my sweaters England!
This reminds me of back in the film days, we had a saying, "It's not the camera, it's all about the lens." You're absolutely right. Find a good camera no matter the make or brand, and learn how to use it. A good lens is worth its, weight in gold. No matter what camera body you have , if your lens is crappy, so will be your shot. Gear up grades has become a fad and a trap. Don't fall into it. I like what you're saying and I'm glad you said it. I have a Nikon D3300; my first DSLR. I have the kit lens that came with it, the 18-55, and I purchased also the 55-300mm lens and so far I have no complaints. So far you're doing just fine with what you have. Good video, dude. Peace!!!!
Please keep doing with the d7200, we enjoy it. Photography is not just the latest technology, I think the Nikon d7200 is enough to provide a lot of experience and lessons. thank you
@@rumtreibbaer and I bought a used 5Div for £1400. Absolute bargain. Like new. Bought a used 70-200 f2.8 series 2 with the money saved over a new body. 👍🏻
Just recently discovered your channel. I've been a serious amateur photographer since the mid eighties and have come across a lot of people who seem to think photography is all about having the latest gear. I agree with your comments. Past certain technologies, such a having enough megapixals for sharp picture, the camera of choice becomes less important and more a matter of personal preference. I personally stay with DLSRs because I started with a film SLR and SLRs are what I like working with.
The latest cameras are so over the top. It's like having a Maserati to do your supermarket shop. It's not necessary. Love my D7100 and D750. No intention or need to "upgrade" to mirrorless. Love the weir image. Keep it up mate, keep the faith and stay safe.
From DSLR to Mirrorless has nothing to do with upgrade. I did have a dslr, (Nikon D3300), but the last 6 years i went on hollidays with my motorbike, and simply didn't have enough room for a dslr with several lenses. I've sold it al and bought a Panasonic GX9. Very small, very lightweight, and beautifull pictures. I have been thinking of going back to DSLR, (I've asked on this channel what the differences were between the D7200 and the D7100), but decided to stick to MFT, just because it'ds smaller, easier to take withe me on the bike, and for me, as a photographer for fun, as a hobby, the immage quality is more than enough. So no upgrade here......
@@edvrolijk8943 fair point my friend and I accept your point, however the camera manufacturers marketing is definitely aimed at making us think that it is most definitely an "upgrade"
When I picked up a Z50 over a year ago, I gave my son my D7100. It wasn’t long before I missed the old girl. I was fortunate to find one online with a low shutter count of 1495. I need both and each has its strengths, but it took the Z experience to make me see what great sharp images I was getting with the D7100 plus a much longer battery life. Love them both and I have no real lust for a full frame camera.
Hi again Henry....Just to say that upgrades are like fishermen buying upgraded rods & reels but they don't catch anymore fish.... There are some very great older model cameras & lenses around that take amazing shots....cheers..
Henry - Thank you, Thank you! Some people have all the gear, but it have no idea! Photography is about photography, and not the equipment. Yes, equipment does play a role. But doing the actual photography is more important.
I meant to say, I have a beast of an old 5d Mark 111 canon with so many great lenses. I have toyed about going mirrorless but having watched this video it has confirmed that its still a great camera so I don't need yet to join the mirrorless team yet.. Keep shooting and posting Henry. Thanks
Just get yourself a D750 Henry. They're going for a song at the moment. You'll gain more resolution and ......a lhistogram on the live view. No, seriously, I've had mine for 6 years and cannot justify spending a chunk of my savings on a new mirrorless with all the extra expenditure for lenses, L bracket and suchlike. Like yourself I'm sticking to what I've got.
recently found your channel, Very good! You handle that camera like it already is mirrorless. It partly is. Getting a new camera is fun. But connecting with the rig you are holding and where you are is what really matters. Keep it up. Good stuff!
Another excellent video. Thank you for your continuing joy and obvious pleasure in what you do. My son cautions me about GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome - and reminds me it's the eye of the artist, not the gear, that makes the photograph.
I am one of the beginners you mentioned. When my Dad died a few years ago, I found he had a Nikon film camera with a few kit lenses . Wow, I thought, if I buy a digital camera with the same mount, I'm in business! So, trawled the second-hand market and found a low risk opportunity - the Nikon D200. Had great fun with it and no real intention of changing it. The one bit of envy I do have is that my lenses are a bit of a restriction for me - I'm inerested in finding a reasonably priced suitable lens to allow me to move on. Your down-to-earth style and approach have reinforced my thought that I don't need lots of expensive gear, I just need some enthusiasm (East Kent is very very flat and boring - or so it seems at the moment!)
Its about using the right tool for you. If you’re happy with the D7200, don’t be in a hurry to part with it. I shot with a D200 crop sensor for years and then bought the D7200, which I loved. Some of my best images to this day were taken with it. After a couple of years, I decided that I’d move to a full frame D750 because I fell into the trap of “full frame is best” and honestly, it was a mistake for me to do so. The camera was heavier, the full frame glass was heavier, and as someone who likes to hike/walk for miles and take landscape photos, it was a real pain to carry the gear with me. I didn’t think I’d care so much about the weight, but it was a real burden carrying the full frame lenses around. I wound up selling the D750 kit and going with Olympus Micro 4/3, and I’m very happy with it. Even though it’s not as good as full frame or even the D7200 in low light, it has everything I need for a lightweight travel/hiking landscape camera kit, at a fraction of the weight. As a matter of fact, it takes care of all my digital needs, as I’ve been more interested in shooting film again recently (I still shoot with Nikon film cameras). You’ve just got to pick what works best for you. Use whatever tool fits your needs.
Excellent advice. Many people just don't have the resources for new gear, so they certainly don't need to feel 2nd class by using their existing equipment.
I remember that video on the beach in New Zealand when you excitedly announced you got yourself a D7200. Think how many outings it's had. Time and landscapes flies by.
Amazing video, Henry! As a fellow D7200 user, I also agree that what's most important is that your gear does not hold you back from creating. Anything outside that is just a want and not a need. I personally have little to no interest in mirrorless cameras, mainly because I prefer an OVF and the amazing battery life DSLRs have to offer. Crack on mate!
Want vs. need! Very well put and you are absolutely right. You and your channel continue to be the actual proof that it doesn't need the latest and greatest gear to produce stunning images.
Exactly this, there are far to many youtubers advertising products that nobody really needs. What we need is people like Henry; showing you don’t need the bells and whistles to take fantastic photos. I’d rather invest in good glass and trips to inspire me.
@@justluke8836 exactly. Henry is the only big photographer youtuber I know that actually takes pictures with a crop sensor. Everyone else is all full frame. His quality of work proves you don't need the latest and the best tech to get amazing photos and prints.
@@Michael-it2rw a couple of years ago I won a local photography award where I won $5000. After the awards,one of the judges asked what equipment I used to take the photo. I will never forgot the look on his face when I told him my camera was a D5600 and the lens was a kit lens 18-55mm
As usual you hit the nail on the head. I'm in a similar postion and contemplated going mirrorless but realised that the D7200 does everything I need it to do. A saying I hear a lot on the music scene can be applied here, "All the gear - No idea". Keep doing what you do Henry, honest, forthright vlogs that are much more interesting and useful to us hobbyists
Hi there Henry, I asked the same question when I upgraded. But I only realised why after my purchase. I bought a D850. My quality of pictures has gone up 100 fold. I don't know about mirror less but the D850 is a super, super camera. It has a very good dynamic range. Over 15 stops. And loads more. Happy days man !!!
I recently bought a new D850 after waiting to see what the Z7 ii had to offer. At this moment I could have afforded to buy the Z7 ii and the expensive pro "trinity" lens to go with it but I felt it wasn't the wisest use of my money (especially right now with most events cancelled so virtually no gigs) and that the Z7 ii didn't offer any real advantage for my shooting style except in the video department. It does offer several disadvantages such as being expensive, having short battery life, being less ergonomic, having less lenses, having to use an adapter to be able to use my old Nikon lenses and a few other issues. Mirrorless might well be the future but I'm waiting to see what comes down the road later on. The D850 remains what is probably the best DSLR ever made to date in my opinion. And the D7200, which I also own, is one of the best cropped sensor DSLRs.
I totally agree with you. I was in the same boat as you when my beloved d5300 "went to the camera heaven" after 145K shots. Switching from that little boy to that "monster" was like switching from a bicycle to a 1000cc sport bike.
Love the fact that you're happy with your lot, class photos again Henry, keep doing what you're doing. I have only recently got my first dslr, a canon 250d and I'm loving it, you are proof that you don't always need the top end latest gear and just enjoy what we have not what we want.
Wise words Henry...A Want Rather Than a Need! The best camera you can possess is the one you have on your person at that given moment! I used a D5300 for a long time...then thought Henry and Lynne are using a D7200 ...I need one of them...so I bought one! Still using both of them today and I cannot separate them in picture quality! . Best of both worlds with the 7200s dynamic range and the 5300s flip screen. Good presentation Henry.
I watch a few photo-tubers and they all say the same thing “gear doesn’t matter”, yet they are all using really expensive cameras and lenses, and going mirror less! If you can get really good shots with modest equipment I say “prove it”. Henry, you do exactly that, you prove it, well done. I don’t begrudge expensive equipment, if I could I too would probably get my wallet out, but most of people watching channels like yours are beginners and enthusiasts, we want to know what our camera’s are capable of. You are inspiring to lots of people I’m sure.
Always a good day when I see a notification for a Henry Turner video. I just sold my Sony a6400 and purchased a used nikon d300 and some decent glass. All the bells and whistles were just to much to deal with. Wanted to get back to the basics. Keep the d7200 and invest in better glass.
Gear is just that, as long as it inspires you it's all good. Personally well happy with my D7200 and 80-200 AF-d 2.8 lens, don't feel the need to upgrade at all. The D7200 is quite a capable camera!
I really enjoy your enthusiasm and passion for getting good images. Glad I found your channel. With panos, taking a larger number of pics even if they overlap a good bit, makes for a more even and higher resolution final image.
Hi Henry, another pano tip! Try to keep the front of the lens in the same place and rotate the camera body in stead to simulate using a panoramic head and nodal slide. This will help prevent the fisheye look if using a fairly wideangle lens.
As a total beginner with an older Nikon D40x I’m just getting to grips with that, hopefully to the point where I’m taking reasonable shots. It would be lovely to have a camera capable of using multiple focus points (not just three) and a live view but as a beginner I’m perfectly happy with what I have. Having the best kit wouldn’t make me a better photographer, it would just depress me knowing I had spent a lot of money to take the same quality of image as I am currently. I’m willing to learn with what I have now, even if it takes a long time, and maybe in a year or so I might feel the need to upgrade slightly 🤔 I’m under no pressure to produce commercial works of art, I only have myself to please and I’m getting there slowly 😉
I was asked the same question from another photographer why I never moved to mirrorless. I’ve been shooting with the D850 for quite a while . Upgrading to the mirrorless version of the Z7, my opinion is I don’t think I would gain anything . Yes I know the D850 is a brick but it’s still a top quality camera. Thanks for another great Vlog. 👍🏻 Dave - Brisbane 🇦🇺
I love your artistic enthusiasm. Wish I was there! I also enjoy working with all the graphic techniques I can imagine. I sketch, paint, and photo in Florida USA and love the contrasts to the sub-tropics that I see on your entertaining and informative videos!
Your right, most people don’t need to upgrade, but desire is such a strong feeling and it’s the desire to upgrade that sometimes wins through. Does it make photographers better at photography because they have a newer camera, not necessarily so, upgrading can be a costly error. But for camera manufacturers, the desirability of there new cameras is important, they need to sell them, so they want people to feel convinced that a new camera is going to perform far better than their current one, it’s so refreshing to have someone on you tube to suggest that it isn’t always the case. Having said all that, we constantly buy things we don’t need, I don’t need chocolate digestive biscuits, there not healthy, make me fat and have no nutritional value, but I buy them anyway, millions of people do similar things everyday, so it’s natural that people who’s hobby is photography will buy things that not all of them will need, it’s what humans do. Great channel btw Henry, I hope your success continues.
Thanks for sharing..again a great location.... Yes I agree with your comments regarding upgrades... I have a D7100 & upgraded to the D500 and yet I still love using my D7100...In reflection I should have spent the money on better lens..I will not be going to mirror less gear ...cheers..
Hi,Henry brilliant video, love the last shot.i totally agree with about camera gear.There is a well known photographer called Mike browne and he always says it not the camera that take a good pictures its you. And if you have the skills you can take a good picture with the cheapest of equipment.
Your photos always appear top notch so why change. Keep the enthusiasm going as you are a good teacher and several of us subscribers have learnt and improved our landscape photography following you
My best antidote to Gear Acquisition Syndrome is to look at sample images taken with older model cameras and lenses that are worse than what I have now.
A couple of things, firstly great photos Henry, I always look forward to your videos. Secondly, I agree with kit, I'm shooting with Canon 600d , sigma lenses, they are currently the best I can afford offset with cost against quality. The sigma vs Canon lens yes a lot cheaper but not a huge drop in photographic quality. I will no doubt upgrade when I can afford too but till then I feel learning to use what I have to it's and my best ability.
Fantastic vid. I shoot with Canon 5DS. And love it. It's a beast. I'm old school and like my beast weather proofed 5ds. And have zero plans to go mirrorless. I also have large hands. And it gets the job done and then some. Mirrorless feel like little toys. Some people love 65 mustangs. Some like a 2021 mustang. I'm the old school guy.
Do what’s best for you Henry. If IBIS will benefit your handheld shots; if a 45MP sensor will give you more freedom to crop images; etc., etc., then go for it. If you want to wait, that’s cool too. It’s not like we’ve seen you changing gear every few months. Yes, I use an older crop sensor Nikon DSLR and there is something approaching nostalgic about that. But it’s your personality, honest approach and skill that has me watching. Cheers from NJ, USA!
i have an a6000 and a330 Sony dslr love using both, depends how i feel the a330 does have a satisfying feel to use, nice to see the DSLR not being dumped.
Hi Henry. I think what ever camera you use, as long as you are happy with it and it does want you want it to then stick with it. like you say it`s about getting out and enjoying what you do. And finally, a nice set of photographs mate.:-)
Great video Henry! The camera gear "race" has been going on for decades - buy the latest, it's the greatest - but it's not the camera, it's the photographer who matters: TMP - Take More Pictures! That said, I confess I bought a better camera than the one I've had for years. I upgraded from my Nikon FM to a Nikon Df... but I'm still using my old film lenses. 😎
i think you are shooting with what the majority of DSLR shooters are using , APS-C, so i feel you are right in using what you are using. Your results show what the format can achieve with a good eye and a full knowledge of your kit, you also show the work needed. You and Lynne Luxon-Jones inspire me, with you both shooting APS-C the same as me , to achieve your level of skill. The time to change camera is when you are beyond the limits of it.
A Z6/Z7 and three decent pieces of glass is upwards of six or seven grand, you will not see a six or seven grand improvement in your work if you decide to go down this route. I'm looking forwards to picking up some dslr bargains if I'm honest.
A better camera wont make you a better photographer, there is so much more to photography than the equipment side. The question I pose to myself about camera investment....."is there something or feature missing in my current camera that prevents me from advancing my photography?" On a separate note Henry, nice one in hitting the 40K mark 👍
Thanks Henry, you just saved me a couple of grand on a Canon R6. Listening to you made me realise that my EOS 80D does everything (well 98% of what) I need really if I'm honest with myself.
Mark, I happily used my 80D for a couple of years. I was getting excellent results. Then I got into astrophotography. Full frame is much better for that. And occasionally, I am happy now to have high ISO capablity during the day, but not so often. The 80D is an excellent camera. I still have mine and don't feel at all lacking when I grab it (as part of my lighter kit) when I go out the door.
I bought your ebook. We'll see how it goes. I wanted to comment on the gear issue: It is sad that getting and having the latest and greatest of anything, no matter the hobby, sport, or professional interest, is so ingrained in us. So ingrained that we feel shabby if we don't have it, even though we are working and performing at our peak, with excellent results, and truly don't need it. Some people cannot afford a phone with a camera. Some people cannot afford anything more than a point and shoot camera. Should they feel bad; ashamed? Should they give up taking pictures of anything? Sure, you can't do everything with cheap gear, but you can play to its strengths and take the shots it can do well. Maybe you pass up a lot, but wow, you can still bring home some images you'd be proud to print and hand on a wall at home...award winning or not. Thank you, Henry, for speaking on this subject.
I'm still using my d5600, I'm learning a lot with it. Not to brag but I have sold some prints with it, - very much thankful for it. But one day, maybe my wife will allow me to buy a Z5, I just need to convince her. That's the hard part.
I almost switched from my D7200 to a Fuji X-T3 mirrorless system last month but decided that the significant outlay was unnecessary. So I bought a new lens instead to replace my kit lens! Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Some people won’t be as steady as you are. Can I suggest that others would benefit from stabilising their pictures with using a stick to stabilise the photo rather than being totally “handheld”?
Great blog I agree with you wholeheartedly it's not cameras that take photos it's you just a point where did you take this video I'm guessing stocks res
Henry, stop it, now. I started a River Wyre project in December, but because of lockdown, I've not been able to progress it. And now, every time you release a video, it's from one of the locations I've got planned. Not only is it frustrating that I can't get to them, but you're also inadvertently completing my project. Seriously though, great video and some nice shots in unusual conditions for the area. Can't wait to get back there.
Some folk do make you feel inferior for shooting DSLR, and not jumping ship to mirrorless, but I just don't feel the need to chase technology, and spend an absolute fortune doing it. I have a Nikon D7500 and D500, and lenses covering all bases, and I couldn't be happier with the images that I produce. Photography, for me, is a hobby and I get joy out of what I do. Every creative person should do what feels good for them.
I love my new Canon R6 the focusing system is brilliant, not needed for landscape but when there is an eagle around the big lens goes on and animal eye detect comes into play! But there are heaps of youtubers covering that side of my photography but when it comes to the tricky stuff like landscape composition and motivational inspiration I like nothing more then my 15-30 mins of Henry Turner getting them "in the bag" which has become a catch phrase for my mate and I when we go out shooting together. I don't give a bugger what camera you shot with Henry, I don't think people watch your videos for gear so much its more your ability to see a composition and the process of capturing it and because you have such a lovable nature. Keep it up son your doin great.
Lightroom can handle multi-row panoramas so you can take a matrix. Make sure you capture a little bit wider than you intend to use because of warping affects that you need to crop.
DSLR or Mirrorless is not the question. Because both produce images via digital files. I mean we are not in film-to-digital transformation period, thus both systems are as good and will remain together happily ever after until one day a new groundbreaking medium comes into the game. Great vlogs mate!
It is said that the best camera is the one that is with you (often the iPhone). It is also very important to just "be there" at the right place with the right light. Having said that, I find that camera bag weight and size is also very important. If bulky equipment is not a deterrent to hike or travel so that you can "be there", keep the old heavy gear. If you don't have application for higher dynamic range sensors or in camera function for focus stacking, or the many added software features, or programmable buttons/dials to make your camera more versatile so that when you "are there" you can optimize your capture of the scene, keep your DSLR. It will do a fine job.
I'm with you Mate! I am using an old Canon T6 and I'm finding that it has most all of the features of a top shelf camera. I do need to upgrade my editing software though... Thanks for your thoughts!
I skipped an entire generation of Canon cameras (the EOS film SLR cameras) because I thought that I could focus manually faster and more accurately than any automatic camera could do. I was wrong!
I understand your concerns. Mirrorless does require a commitment. An abandoning of the DSLR. You have to comfortable with your decision to go there because there will be a lot of second thoughts. I would suggest a written list of reasons why you want to go mirrorless. If you decide to go mirrorless you will need to reference it often. I shoot professionally with 5 DSLR bodies. I bought 2 Z50 and adapted my glass. Recently purchased the Z6 II and realized I could run my business and self projects with 2 bodies. I’m on the waiting list for the Z7 II to add to my arsenal. Thanks for your videos and sharing my friend.
Iv'e been having a similar dilemma lately, I shoot with Canon, 80D + 5Dmk iv. I shoot mainly landscape and wildlife. 7fps is more than enough for my needs for wildlife, and hey, if you use live view for landscape, that's mirrorless anyway!!!
I switched from my Nikon D3000 after 11 years to new Nikon D7500. D7500 simply outperforms D3000 but now I see that shots taken with the highest end camera can be bad - as today when shooting crane birds - all photos was muddy. I was wandering why - photos was taken with 1/1600s - after a few seconds I just realized that air movements from the ground can introduce issues like this, even when temperature is low as -10 degree of Celsius. The reason why I do not switch to mirror less is that I don't need it yet and the ergonomics of Nikon's DSLR is so good. You are totally right in what you said - switching to better camera is more our want rather than our need. Now I see that D7500 is good enough for me - it has everything what I need and what I did not have in my old D3000 - good sensor and other good things. To all enthusiasts of the photography - take the shots rather than new gear!!!
Hi Henry, I passed my D80 to my dad a few years ago and purchased the D7200 myself, I love this camera and have no intention of upgrading it anytime soon, I just want to add, my dad is now 80 and is a fantastic photographer. Keep these inspiring videos coming Wish I had the minerals to go blogging.
The reason I changed from Canon to mirrorless Sony was after a 6 week trip to Australia. The bag and gear became heavy and on short flights in smaller jets, my bag would not fit in the overhead. Also, I am now in my 70's and I don't like to carry as much weight on a days hiking.
Thats probably the most valid reason I’ve heard John. I live in Oz and definitely find the weight of my canon gear tough when hiking to waterfalls etc. my back pack loaded with 6DMKII, 100-400, 24-70, and some other odds and sods, comes to 18kg. I’ll definitely be considering dropping the weight in a couple of years or hit the gym 😂😂
I have been using a d7200 for just over 2 years now and it is a fantastic bit of kit, the only reason the image might be questionable is simply the bit behind it operating the shutter button needs to learn more, hence we are all watching TH-cam to constantly improve, all the best and many thanks...
Again Henry another cracking video, brilliant pano by the way. There's one good thing about you there's no snobbery with you with regards to mirrorless camera's you say it as it is. Also you'll take images during the afternoon and not just early mornings and evenings, your so down to earth definitely gonna have to think about arranging a 1to1 when lockdown slackens. I have a question in relation to laptops any advise on what type of laptop to buy as the one I have is kind of slow when using Lrc especially when trying to merge a pano. Keep the video's coming mate learning loads from you
Thanks for your words regarding the gear race. I just switched from crop sensor to crop sensor because I wanted a weather proof body. No reason not to make cool photos with that. As you said you can take good photos with any camera and more often than not it’s not the gear holding you back. And once you reach that point, you’ll know. 👍
Great video, Henry. I am more than happy with my Canon 5D IV but I know that in the future I will more than likely have to change to a mirrorless camera as they are generally smaller and lighter and have IBIS. Being disabled, weight of the camera and shaky hands are fast becoming a problem, and lugging a tripod around is not really an option. But my changing will be because of need and not because I have been swayed by all the advertising and other photographers singing the praises of their mirrorless cameras on their TH-cam videos.
I did just update from my Nikon D5300 to a Fuji X-T3. I originally wanted a Fuji when I bought the Nikon 3 years ago but wasn’t sure I’d stick with the hobby so went with the much cheaper option. But after 3 years I did feel like I wanted to make the investment and plan on keeping the X-T3 for hopefully 5 years. But it’s coming tomorrow and I’m very excited to try and learn about the new system. Glad you’re happy with your set-up. All that matters!

The best gear I’ve added to my setup lately is a foldable chair, now I can sit comfortably at any location and think about my composition.....
Such a good idea.
That reminds me...👍
Me to 😀
This reminds me of back in the film days, we had a saying, "It's not the camera, it's all about the lens." You're absolutely right. Find a good camera no matter the make or brand, and learn how to use it. A good lens is worth its, weight in gold. No matter what camera body you have , if your lens is crappy, so will be your shot. Gear up grades has become a fad and a trap. Don't fall into it. I like what you're saying and I'm glad you said it. I have a Nikon D3300; my first DSLR. I have the kit lens that came with it, the 18-55, and I purchased also the 55-300mm lens and so far I have no complaints. So far you're doing just fine with what you have. Good video, dude. Peace!!!!
Please keep doing with the d7200, we enjoy it. Photography is not just the latest technology, I think the Nikon d7200 is enough to provide a lot of experience and lessons. thank you
Still a better/ equal aps-c sensor than the latest Canon!
@@sexysilversurfer I think the Nikon d7200 is perfect for photography, because the d7200 has a wide dynamic range

I have been thinking of going back to DSLR, (I've asked on this channel what the differences were between the D7200 and the D7100), but decided to stick to MFT, just because it'ds smaller, easier to take withe me on the bike, and for me, as a photographer for fun, as a hobby, the immage quality is more than enough. So no upgrade here......
@@edvrolijk8943 fair point my friend and I accept your point, however the camera manufacturers marketing is definitely aimed at making us think that it is most definitely an "upgrade"
When I picked up a Z50 over a year ago, I gave my son my D7100. It wasn’t long before I missed the old girl. I was fortunate to find one online with a low shutter count of 1495. I need both and each has its strengths, but it took the Z experience to make me see what great sharp images I was getting with the D7100 plus a much longer battery life. Love them both and I have no real lust for a full frame camera.
Hi again Henry....Just to say that upgrades are like fishermen buying upgraded rods & reels but they don't catch anymore fish.... There are some very great older model cameras & lenses around that take amazing shots....cheers..
Henry - Thank you, Thank you! Some people have all the gear, but it have no idea! Photography is about photography, and not the equipment. Yes, equipment does play a role. But doing the actual photography is more important.
Right on Henry. Cameras don't take photos, people do. It ain't the meat. It's the motion.
I meant to say, I have a beast of an old 5d Mark 111 canon with so many great lenses. I have toyed about going mirrorless but having watched this video it has confirmed that its still a great camera so I don't need yet to join the mirrorless team yet.. Keep shooting and posting Henry. Thanks
cheers Henry you always put a smile on my face.
Just get yourself a D750 Henry. They're going for a song at the moment. You'll gain more resolution and ......a lhistogram on the live view. No, seriously, I've had mine for 6 years and cannot justify spending a chunk of my savings on a new mirrorless with all the extra expenditure for lenses, L bracket and suchlike. Like yourself I'm sticking to what I've got.
I love your honesty and adore that you focus on the actual photography and not gear! Thanks for yet another inspirational video Henry, take care!
Thanks so much!
You’re very welcome, and I’m EXTREMELY grateful I found your channel! I hope you have a good week, Melanie
recently found your channel, Very good! You handle that camera like it already is mirrorless. It partly is. Getting a new camera is fun. But connecting with the rig you are holding and where you are is what really matters. Keep it up. Good stuff!
Another excellent video. Thank you for your continuing joy and obvious pleasure in what you do. My son cautions me about GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome - and reminds me it's the eye of the artist, not the gear, that makes the photograph.
I am one of the beginners you mentioned. When my Dad died a few years ago, I found he had a Nikon film camera with a few kit lenses . Wow, I thought, if I buy a digital camera with the same mount, I'm in business! So, trawled the second-hand market and found a low risk opportunity - the Nikon D200. Had great fun with it and no real intention of changing it. The one bit of envy I do have is that my lenses are a bit of a restriction for me - I'm inerested in finding a reasonably priced suitable lens to allow me to move on. Your down-to-earth style and approach have reinforced my thought that I don't need lots of expensive gear, I just need some enthusiasm (East Kent is very very flat and boring - or so it seems at the moment!)
Its about using the right tool for you. If you’re happy with the D7200, don’t be in a hurry to part with it.
I shot with a D200 crop sensor for years and then bought the D7200, which I loved. Some of my best images to this day were taken with it.
After a couple of years, I decided that I’d move to a full frame D750 because I fell into the trap of “full frame is best” and honestly, it was a mistake for me to do so.
The camera was heavier, the full frame glass was heavier, and as someone who likes to hike/walk for miles and take landscape photos, it was a real pain to carry the gear with me. I didn’t think I’d care so much about the weight, but it was a real burden carrying the full frame lenses around.
I wound up selling the D750 kit and going with Olympus Micro 4/3, and I’m very happy with it. Even though it’s not as good as full frame or even the D7200 in low light, it has everything I need for a lightweight travel/hiking landscape camera kit, at a fraction of the weight. As a matter of fact, it takes care of all my digital needs, as I’ve been more interested in shooting film again recently (I still shoot with Nikon film cameras).
You’ve just got to pick what works best for you. Use whatever tool fits your needs.
Excellent advice. Many people just don't have the resources for new gear, so they certainly don't need to feel 2nd class by using their existing equipment.
I remember that video on the beach in New Zealand when you excitedly announced you got yourself a D7200. Think how many outings it's had. Time and landscapes flies by.
Great memory Alan thanks for this!
Amazing video, Henry! As a fellow D7200 user, I also agree that what's most important is that your gear does not hold you back from creating. Anything outside that is just a want and not a need. I personally have little to no interest in mirrorless cameras, mainly because I prefer an OVF and the amazing battery life DSLRs have to offer.
Crack on mate!
Want vs. need! Very well put and you are absolutely right. You and your channel continue to be the actual proof that it doesn't need the latest and greatest gear to produce stunning images.
I so agree with what tour saying, however upgrading my 7200 to the 500 was a revelation of just how good a camera can be.
stick with the d7200. Show people that you can take amazing photos on a crop sensor
Exactly this, there are far to many youtubers advertising products that nobody really needs. What we need is people like Henry; showing you don’t need the bells and whistles to take fantastic photos.
I’d rather invest in good glass and trips to inspire me.
@@justluke8836 exactly. Henry is the only big photographer youtuber I know that actually takes pictures with a crop sensor. Everyone else is all full frame. His quality of work proves you don't need the latest and the best tech to get amazing photos and prints.
@@Michael-it2rw a couple of years ago I won a local photography award where I won $5000. After the awards,one of the judges asked what equipment I used to take the photo. I will never forgot the look on his face when I told him my camera was a D5600 and the lens was a kit lens 18-55mm
@Michael Yi Lynne Luxon-Jones also shoots landscapes with a crop sensor camera and guess what, it's a D7200.
Glad your keeping these videos up, really appreciate them in the current climate. Hope we can all travel further afield soon. Cheers
I love watching you. Henry,
you have helped my landscape photography so much.
Thank you for your time and the joy that you put into what you do.
As usual you hit the nail on the head. I'm in a similar postion and contemplated going mirrorless but realised that the D7200 does everything I need it to do. A saying I hear a lot on the music scene can be applied here, "All the gear - No idea". Keep doing what you do Henry, honest, forthright vlogs that are much more interesting and useful to us hobbyists
Hi there Henry, I asked the same question when I upgraded. But I only realised why after my purchase. I bought a D850. My quality of pictures has gone up 100 fold. I don't know about mirror less but the D850 is a super, super camera. It has a very good dynamic range. Over 15 stops. And loads more. Happy days man !!!
I recently bought a new D850 after waiting to see what the Z7 ii had to offer. At this moment I could have afforded to buy the Z7 ii and the expensive pro "trinity" lens to go with it but I felt it wasn't the wisest use of my money (especially right now with most events cancelled so virtually no gigs) and that the Z7 ii didn't offer any real advantage for my shooting style except in the video department. It does offer several disadvantages such as being expensive, having short battery life, being less ergonomic, having less lenses, having to use an adapter to be able to use my old Nikon lenses and a few other issues. Mirrorless might well be the future but I'm waiting to see what comes down the road later on.
The D850 remains what is probably the best DSLR ever made to date in my opinion. And the D7200, which I also own, is one of the best cropped sensor DSLRs.
I totally agree with you. I was in the same boat as you when my beloved d5300 "went to the camera heaven" after 145K shots. Switching from that little boy to that "monster" was like switching from a bicycle to a 1000cc sport bike.
Thanks Henry for sharing your work see you on your next adventure 👍🏻✌🏻
Love the fact that you're happy with your lot, class photos again Henry, keep doing what you're doing. I have only recently got my first dslr, a canon 250d and I'm loving it, you are proof that you don't always need the top end latest gear and just enjoy what we have not what we want.
Wise words Henry...A Want Rather Than a Need! The best camera you can possess is the one you have on your person at that given moment! I used a D5300 for a long time...then thought Henry and Lynne are using a D7200 ...I need one of them...so I bought one! Still using both of them today and I cannot separate them in picture quality! . Best of both worlds with the 7200s dynamic range and the 5300s flip screen. Good presentation Henry.
I watch a few photo-tubers and they all say the same thing “gear doesn’t matter”, yet they are all using really expensive cameras and lenses, and going mirror less! If you can get really good shots with modest equipment I say “prove it”. Henry, you do exactly that, you prove it, well done. I don’t begrudge expensive equipment, if I could I too would probably get my wallet out, but most of people watching channels like yours are beginners and enthusiasts, we want to know what our camera’s are capable of. You are inspiring to lots of people I’m sure.
life lessons as well as photography. Great job.
You talk so much sense. 👍👍👍👍
Great video Henry. Couldn’t agree more with your comments. Most mportant to get out and shoot!!
Always a good day when I see a notification for a Henry Turner video. I just sold my Sony a6400 and purchased a used nikon d300 and some decent glass. All the bells and whistles were just to much to deal with. Wanted to get back to the basics. Keep the d7200 and invest in better glass.
Wise, subjective content Henry... enjoy & make the best of what you have.. I use an mft system & I have no regrets..
Great advise Henry!
Gear is just that, as long as it inspires you it's all good. Personally well happy with my D7200 and 80-200 AF-d 2.8 lens, don't feel the need to upgrade at all. The D7200 is quite a capable camera!
I really enjoy your enthusiasm and passion for getting good images. Glad I found your channel.
With panos, taking a larger number of pics even if they overlap a good bit, makes for a more even and higher resolution final image.
Hi Henry, another pano tip! Try to keep the front of the lens in the same place and rotate the camera body in stead to simulate using a panoramic head and nodal slide. This will help prevent the fisheye look if using a fairly wideangle lens.
Thankfully somebody does fun photography with gear that is affordable.
As a total beginner with an older Nikon D40x I’m just getting to grips with that, hopefully to the point where I’m taking reasonable shots. It would be lovely to have a camera capable of using multiple focus points (not just three) and a live view but as a beginner I’m perfectly happy with what I have. Having the best kit wouldn’t make me a better photographer, it would just depress me knowing I had spent a lot of money to take the same quality of image as I am currently. I’m willing to learn with what I have now, even if it takes a long time, and maybe in a year or so I might feel the need to upgrade slightly 🤔 I’m under no pressure to produce commercial works of art, I only have myself to please and I’m getting there slowly 😉
Of these three things 1) Camera body 2) Lens 3) Brain. The camera body is least important to good photography.
Great advise Henry! Use and learn what you got. Look like most photographers are heavily influence by the Media.
I was asked the same question from another photographer why I never moved to mirrorless. I’ve been shooting with the D850 for quite a while . Upgrading to the mirrorless version of the Z7, my opinion is I don’t think I would gain anything . Yes I know the D850 is a brick but it’s still a top quality camera. Thanks for another great Vlog. 👍🏻 Dave - Brisbane 🇦🇺
I love your artistic enthusiasm. Wish I was there! I also enjoy working with all the graphic techniques I can imagine. I sketch, paint, and photo in Florida USA and love the contrasts to the sub-tropics that I see on your entertaining and informative videos!
Great video, exactly right! Could you make a video of your hdr (exposure bracketing) post processing workflow?
Finally made it to Abbeystead reservoir I see. Lovely round there..
Your right, most people don’t need to upgrade, but desire is such a strong feeling and it’s the desire to upgrade that sometimes wins through. Does it make photographers better at photography because they have a newer camera, not necessarily so, upgrading can be a costly error.
But for camera manufacturers, the desirability of there new cameras is important, they need to sell them, so they want people to feel convinced that a new camera is going to perform far better than their current one, it’s so refreshing to have someone on you tube to suggest that it isn’t always the case.
Having said all that, we constantly buy things we don’t need, I don’t need chocolate digestive biscuits, there not healthy, make me fat and have no nutritional value, but I buy them anyway, millions of people do similar things everyday, so it’s natural that people who’s hobby is photography will buy things that not all of them will need, it’s what humans do.
Great channel btw Henry, I hope your success continues.
Thanks for sharing..again a great location.... Yes I agree with your comments regarding upgrades... I have a D7100 & upgraded to the D500 and yet I still love using my D7100...In reflection I should have spent the money on better lens..I will not be going to mirror less gear ...cheers..
Hi,Henry brilliant video, love the last shot.i totally agree with about camera gear.There is a well known photographer called Mike browne and he always says it not the camera that take a good pictures its you.
And if you have the skills you can take a good picture with the cheapest of equipment.
Your photos always appear top notch so why change. Keep the enthusiasm going as you are a good teacher and several of us subscribers have learnt and improved our landscape photography following you
No nonsense no look at me content, wonderful to see and helpful advice.. keep it up 👍
My best antidote to Gear Acquisition Syndrome is to look at sample images taken with older model cameras and lenses that are worse than what I have now.
A couple of things, firstly great photos Henry, I always look forward to your videos. Secondly, I agree with kit, I'm shooting with Canon 600d , sigma lenses, they are currently the best I can afford offset with cost against quality. The sigma vs Canon lens yes a lot cheaper but not a huge drop in photographic quality. I will no doubt upgrade when I can afford too but till then I feel learning to use what I have to it's and my best ability.
Fantastic vid. I shoot with Canon 5DS. And love it. It's a beast. I'm old school and like my beast weather proofed 5ds. And have zero plans to go mirrorless. I also have large hands. And it gets the job done and then some. Mirrorless feel like little toys. Some people love 65 mustangs. Some like a 2021 mustang. I'm the old school guy.
You know you can get full frame mirrorless cameras that are the same sort of dimensions as a DSLR?
Do what’s best for you Henry. If IBIS will benefit your handheld shots; if a 45MP sensor will give you more freedom to crop images; etc., etc., then go for it. If you want to wait, that’s cool too. It’s not like we’ve seen you changing gear every few months. Yes, I use an older crop sensor Nikon DSLR and there is something approaching nostalgic about that. But it’s your personality, honest approach and skill that has me watching. Cheers from NJ, USA!
i have an a6000 and a330 Sony dslr love using both, depends how i feel the a330 does have a satisfying feel to use, nice to see the DSLR not being dumped.
Hi Henry. I think what ever camera you use, as long as you are happy with it and it does want you want it to then stick with it. like you say it`s about getting out and enjoying what you do. And finally, a nice set of photographs mate.:-)
Do continue with D7200. I am using it for portraits and birds for long time now. After watching your videos, I am going to give landscapes a shot.
Great video Henry! The camera gear "race" has been going on for decades - buy the latest, it's the greatest - but it's not the camera, it's the photographer who matters: TMP - Take More Pictures!
That said, I confess I bought a better camera than the one I've had for years. I upgraded from my Nikon FM to a Nikon Df... but I'm still using my old film lenses. 😎
i think you are shooting with what the majority of DSLR shooters are using , APS-C, so i feel you are right in using what you are using. Your results show what the format can achieve with a good eye and a full knowledge of your kit, you also show the work needed. You and Lynne Luxon-Jones inspire me, with you both shooting APS-C the same as me , to achieve your level of skill. The time to change camera is when you are beyond the limits of it.
Excellent Henry. Yes, it's a want, not a need. Thx for saying it.
Another successful handheld pano - Well done
What great advice !! Pointing the camera is far more important than pointing at the camera.
Excellent dude 👍🏼
A Z6/Z7 and three decent pieces of glass is upwards of six or seven grand, you will not see a six or seven grand improvement in your work if you decide to go down this route. I'm looking forwards to picking up some dslr bargains if I'm honest.
A better camera wont make you a better photographer, there is so much more to photography than the equipment side. The question I pose to myself about camera investment....."is there something or feature missing in my current camera that prevents me from advancing my photography?"
On a separate note Henry, nice one in hitting the 40K mark 👍
Thanks Jim
Thanks Henry, you just saved me a couple of grand on a Canon R6. Listening to you made me realise that my EOS 80D does everything (well 98% of what) I need really if I'm honest with myself.
Mark, I happily used my 80D for a couple of years. I was getting excellent results. Then I got into astrophotography. Full frame is much better for that. And occasionally, I am happy now to have high ISO capablity during the day, but not so often. The 80D is an excellent camera. I still have mine and don't feel at all lacking when I grab it (as part of my lighter kit) when I go out the door.
@@neild108 Cheers Neil
I bought your ebook. We'll see how it goes. I wanted to comment on the gear issue: It is sad that getting and having the latest and greatest of anything, no matter the hobby, sport, or professional interest, is so ingrained in us. So ingrained that we feel shabby if we don't have it, even though we are working and performing at our peak, with excellent results, and truly don't need it. Some people cannot afford a phone with a camera. Some people cannot afford anything more than a point and shoot camera. Should they feel bad; ashamed? Should they give up taking pictures of anything? Sure, you can't do everything with cheap gear, but you can play to its strengths and take the shots it can do well. Maybe you pass up a lot, but wow, you can still bring home some images you'd be proud to print and hand on a wall at home...award winning or not. Thank you, Henry, for speaking on this subject.
I'm still using my d5600, I'm learning a lot with it. Not to brag but I have sold some prints with it, - very much thankful for it. But one day, maybe my wife will allow me to buy a Z5, I just need to convince her. That's the hard part.
I almost switched from my D7200 to a Fuji X-T3 mirrorless system last month but decided that the significant outlay was unnecessary. So I bought a new lens instead to replace my kit lens! Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Some people won’t be as steady as you are. Can I suggest that others would benefit from stabilising their pictures with using a stick to stabilise the photo rather than being totally “handheld”?
Great blog I agree with you wholeheartedly it's not cameras that take photos it's you just a point where did you take this video I'm guessing stocks res
Henry, stop it, now. I started a River Wyre project in December, but because of lockdown, I've not been able to progress it. And now, every time you release a video, it's from one of the locations I've got planned. Not only is it frustrating that I can't get to them, but you're also inadvertently completing my project. Seriously though, great video and some nice shots in unusual conditions for the area. Can't wait to get back there.
Some folk do make you feel inferior for shooting DSLR, and not jumping ship to mirrorless, but I just don't feel the need to chase technology, and spend an absolute fortune doing it. I have a Nikon D7500 and D500, and lenses covering all bases, and I couldn't be happier with the images that I produce. Photography, for me, is a hobby and I get joy out of what I do. Every creative person should do what feels good for them.
I love my new Canon R6 the focusing system is brilliant, not needed for landscape but when there is an eagle around the big lens goes on and animal eye detect comes into play! But there are heaps of youtubers covering that side of my photography but when it comes to the tricky stuff like landscape composition and motivational inspiration I like nothing more then my 15-30 mins of Henry Turner getting them "in the bag" which has become a catch phrase for my mate and I when we go out shooting together. I don't give a bugger what camera you shot with Henry, I don't think people watch your videos for gear so much its more your ability to see a composition and the process of capturing it and because you have such a lovable nature. Keep it up son your doin great.
Lightroom can handle multi-row panoramas so you can take a matrix. Make sure you capture a little bit wider than you intend to use because of warping affects that you need to crop.
DSLR or Mirrorless is not the question. Because both produce images via digital files. I mean we are not in film-to-digital transformation period, thus both systems are as good and will remain together happily ever after until one day a new groundbreaking medium comes into the game. Great vlogs mate!
It is said that the best camera is the one that is with you (often the iPhone). It is also very important to just "be there" at the right place with the right light. Having said that, I find that camera bag weight and size is also very important. If bulky equipment is not a deterrent to hike or travel so that you can "be there", keep the old heavy gear. If you don't have application for higher dynamic range sensors or in camera function for focus stacking, or the many added software features, or programmable buttons/dials to make your camera more versatile so that when you "are there" you can optimize your capture of the scene, keep your DSLR. It will do a fine job.
I'm with you Mate! I am using an old Canon T6 and I'm finding that it has most all of the features of a top shelf camera. I do need to upgrade my editing software though... Thanks for your thoughts!
I may be showing my age here but, love the one you're with. Great vlog Henry. The pano shot, you aced that one mate.
I skipped an entire generation of Canon cameras (the EOS film SLR cameras) because I thought that I could focus manually faster and more accurately than any automatic camera could do. I was wrong!
I understand your concerns. Mirrorless does require a commitment. An abandoning of the DSLR. You have to comfortable with your decision to go there because there will be a lot of second thoughts. I would suggest a written list of reasons why you want to go mirrorless. If you decide to go mirrorless you will need to reference it often. I shoot professionally with 5 DSLR bodies. I bought 2 Z50 and adapted my glass. Recently purchased the Z6 II and realized I could run my business and self projects with 2 bodies. I’m on the waiting list for the Z7 II to add to my arsenal. Thanks for your videos and sharing my friend.
So very true thanks for sharing
Iv'e been having a similar dilemma lately, I shoot with Canon, 80D + 5Dmk iv. I shoot mainly landscape and wildlife. 7fps is more than enough for my needs for wildlife, and hey, if you use live view for landscape, that's mirrorless anyway!!!
The best camera is the one you got with you. To get into "it" I'm more than happy with my D7200. I still gotta learn a lot.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you buddy hope you have a great one god bless and keep up the magnificent work 👍
Thank you! I totally agree... I have D750 and bought D3 "workhorse" and I´m super happy with that combo...
I switched from my Nikon D3000 after 11 years to new Nikon D7500. D7500 simply outperforms D3000 but now I see that shots taken with the highest end camera can be bad - as today when shooting crane birds - all photos was muddy. I was wandering why - photos was taken with 1/1600s - after a few seconds I just realized that air movements from the ground can introduce issues like this, even when temperature is low as -10 degree of Celsius. The reason why I do not switch to mirror less is that I don't need it yet and the ergonomics of Nikon's DSLR is so good. You are totally right in what you said - switching to better camera is more our want rather than our need. Now I see that D7500 is good enough for me - it has everything what I need and what I did not have in my old D3000 - good sensor and other good things. To all enthusiasts of the photography - take the shots rather than new gear!!!
Hi Henry, I passed my D80 to my dad a few years ago and purchased the D7200 myself, I love this camera and have no intention of upgrading it anytime soon, I just want to add, my dad is now 80 and is a fantastic photographer.
Keep these inspiring videos coming
Wish I had the minerals to go blogging.
The reason I changed from Canon to mirrorless Sony was after a 6 week trip to Australia. The bag and gear became heavy and on short flights in smaller jets, my bag would not fit in the overhead. Also, I am now in my 70's and I don't like to carry as much weight on a days hiking.
Thats probably the most valid reason I’ve heard John. I live in Oz and definitely find the weight of my canon gear tough when hiking to waterfalls etc. my back pack loaded with 6DMKII, 100-400, 24-70, and some other odds and sods, comes to 18kg. I’ll definitely be considering dropping the weight in a couple of years or hit the gym 😂😂
@@mattorrz759 Right you are, Mate
I have been using a d7200 for just over 2 years now and it is a fantastic bit of kit, the only reason the image might be questionable is simply the bit behind it operating the shutter button needs to learn more, hence we are all watching TH-cam to constantly improve, all the best and many thanks...
Give it a few more years and Nikon will be on the Z7 IV and the gen 1 Z7 will be peanuts. You'll get it free with a lens by then.
Wow, that pano was amazing and I appreciate your view on the mirrorless camera. Your content is great pal
Again Henry another cracking video, brilliant pano by the way. There's one good thing about you there's no snobbery with you with regards to mirrorless camera's you say it as it is. Also you'll take images during the afternoon and not just early mornings and evenings, your so down to earth definitely gonna have to think about arranging a 1to1 when lockdown slackens. I have a question in relation to laptops any advise on what type of laptop to buy as the one I have is kind of slow when using Lrc especially when trying to merge a pano. Keep the video's coming mate learning loads from you
Thanks for your words regarding the gear race. I just switched from crop sensor to crop sensor because I wanted a weather proof body. No reason not to make cool photos with that. As you said you can take good photos with any camera and more often than not it’s not the gear holding you back. And once you reach that point, you’ll know. 👍
Great video, Henry. I am more than happy with my Canon 5D IV but I know that in the future I will more than likely have to change to a mirrorless camera as they are generally smaller and lighter and have IBIS. Being disabled, weight of the camera and shaky hands are fast becoming a problem, and lugging a tripod around is not really an option. But my changing will be because of need and not because I have been swayed by all the advertising and other photographers singing the praises of their mirrorless cameras on their TH-cam videos.
I did just update from my Nikon D5300 to a Fuji X-T3. I originally wanted a Fuji when I bought the Nikon 3 years ago but wasn’t sure I’d stick with the hobby so went with the much cheaper option. But after 3 years I did feel like I wanted to make the investment and plan on keeping the X-T3 for hopefully 5 years. But it’s coming tomorrow and I’m very excited to try and learn about the new system. Glad you’re happy with your set-up. All that matters!
