For years, smartphone manufacturers have said that their built-in cameras are SO GOOD that you no longer need a 'real' camera. So can a professional photographer with a smartphone beat a total pleb with a 'real' camera? Only one way to find out...

"is a good camera important?" If you actually did a fair test then no. If you actually wanted to test this, you would ask them to the exact same thing and compare the results. This was just a Linus vs. Brandon competition with a catch, nothing more. A good photographer is always more important than a good camera. The video itself, the idea and execution, where very awesome tho. You guys are crazy I love it :)
That's kind of the point of the video. There is no such thing as a fair/scientific answer to this question because in the real world you never know what's going to be thrown your way. It often comes down to improvising and making the most of the tool you have. In some cases a phone will be more than adequate, but in others a great camera will save even a very inexperienced operator.
A lot of people are upset we didn't explicitly say this in the video, but I had felt like it was pretty heavily implied by the results and the process. I guess not.
@@LinusTechTips Well that's how I understood it and the video was AWESOME! ♥
The best camera is the one in your hands when you need to get the shot.
WRONG A good photographer is as important as a good camera. The test would have been much better if they had given the appropriate camera to each. The Fuji for the pro and the phone for the blond guy, then each would have gotten the best possible outcome.
@@LinusTechTips Also understood it that way... heavily implied!
Dude James and Colton have no shame and their devotion is INSANE
Respects for them dude
@KokoPokiStick noooooo i hope he doesn't get fired!
@KokoPokiStick good thing that he gets fired daily, just off-camera XD
Anthony Master Race and Alex Master Race don't like your comment, lol
Ikr this is legit employee abuse ! I would have been gone.
I get the feeling that James is someone who always wins at gay chicken, but somehow doesn't end up seeming gay.
This is probably one of the best videos ever made by you guys.
Now let's see Taran and Linus go head-to-head in editing. Linus uses his app of choice and Taran uses Windows Movie Maker.
Easy win for taran, i'm afraid
Editing challenge is in the works with Jonathan Morrison and Taran . not with movie maker
Video editing is harder the more complex the software. You give a kid MS Paint and they can do some silly edits but they could save a picture. Give them photoshop and I doubt they could do anything.
@@ender-gaming except Linus isn't a kid. Taran is a professional vodeo editor. Also, the hard part about a professional app is the "manual" mode. Its 100% flexible, so the figuring out aspect maybe slightly hard. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Its not the best. Its entertaining. But this channel is not for entertainment
I just realise James is the Writer for this episode, so he basically wrote himself into the modeling
*was
@@poultrypants He wrote this episode, he's still the author of the episode. Or a simple synonym, he's the episodes writer. Grammar Nazi fuckin' it up
*realized that
@@poultrypants There ya go
@@poultrypants *realised
I can’t imagine how much fun the editors had when they first saw the footage of this challenge😂
Linus, whoever had this idea should get a promotion, or a bonus or at least a cookie. It was something fresh, out of the usual tech stuff(and funny af)!
Welcome to channel super fun!
It is an age old question. Ideas are often found just by scouring message boards.
Or told to stop watching youtube during work ;)
DigitalRev has made things like these for years. Search for "pro photographer cheap camera challange" on youtube and you have many good hours in front of you :)
Was it Linus who took that cute picture of Colton in an XXL? If so, he should give himself a raise!
coltom for the win
not to forgrt James
Who won this? James and Colton, by a mile.
james by half a mile, if you know what I mean.. like 2 laps
LGBT always wins
@@vladvilcov3175 lmao welcome to lgbtips your news source for everything gay

nvm, got it
17:00 Nobody talks about that transition?
Editor spotted. :D
Goddamn . I was looking for this comment
Thats was dope
Too few comments on that awesome transition
Holy shit thats mind blowing to watch yall too good
13:00 Linus's "Do you want me to fire you for the third time?" face.
That change! That's a boss face. That's a "going have to let you go" face. Wow. Love it, never would want to be on the receiving end tho.
@@kaspartambur Yeah, he kinda put Colton back in his place or atleast reminded him his place with that look...
I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch a 40 min video, but it turned out to be a really fun watch! Great job guys!
Ya man and you know sometimes I like to just wear a sweater with no pants.
pmhops77 they talk about using a phone camera professionally, but film it with a camera rig and what I think is a red.
I dint even realize it was 40min until i saw your comment, it was just fun to watch.
@@alistonfernandez9539 Same! I was just laughing the entire time.
Pretty sure the video could have been the last 30 minutes lmao
This was like watching
a disabled man with a lightsaber
fight an
army general with a swiss army knife.
Jello Luke why don’t ACTUALLY funny comments get no likes at all?
@@masterbaits4108 this has 111 likes tf u mean

A. Retarted “meme” comments get thousands.
B. when I commented it had ~50
@@masterbaits4108 yeah these types of comments are retarded , especially the "no one :" meme
This is one of the greatest comments I've seen
Linus is the kinda guy that, when holding a $3000 camera, makes sure the sensor is as in danger of being dirtied as possible
How's he supposed to see that juicy large sensor then? I forgot to blow the dust off with his lung-air, for good measure 😏
24:30 - best footage of Linus running ever to exist

Haha proper mince
I’m sad to admit this, but I’m doing that half walk sprint quite often 😅
Thanks for the one who edited and directed this video.
*YOU DID WELL*
Yup, awesome work!
Colton and James, they deserve a raise for the pregnancy photoshot. Hilarious!
"I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I have found how to change the ISO"
James is low key a full on comedian, his timing and dead pan expressions are so good!
This felt like a TV show, great production value, incredibly impressed.
Brandon: put you pants on.
Colton: Thank god
Colton: can i put my pants on?
Linus: i dont make the rules
Colton: but you do
Linus: you're fired
@@c.1055 The contest rules..
27:00 When you see the random people, you just have to wonder what's going through their heads as they see the... unusual scene unfold.
Just a pregnant bearded man and his husband. What???
@@kaizen5023 I know right? Nothing wrong here
I dont feel like this was about cinematography or photography alone. Brandon had the best ideas when it came to setting up the shot and how they looked. But Linus was awesome at directing talent and being a leader with his creative ideas! For me it just shows that teamwork makes the dream work!
goes to show how Linus became founder and CEO of LMG with crazy vision while Brandon is the “ol reliable” with all the knowhow and solid skills
The editing of this video is the real star. It kept me very interested for the whole 38+ minutes. Plus, that last maternity shot was indeed on point by Linus.
Thats the power of editing. Normally a 38 minute video is long and you just want it to be over. Great editors over at LTT
Rainbow James got me hooked into the video
*pantsless Colton*
"I think there's obviously a little bit of trouble with the exposure."
Like that's what is wrong
@@the_hamrat But it is, the "exposure"
this whole episode was hilarious. James and Colton were great. Linus' face when he was getting judged was relatable as heck
Oh geeze I didn't realize it was 40 minutes!
It was so hilarious I laughed so hard I had hoped mom wasn't napping. I still feel tears on my eyes.
"sandals!"
"Yes!"
"WAIT, YOU NEED SOCKS!"
"Noooo!"
You should start series called pro vs. Linus it would be amazing
Great idea!
Continue the format of pro with the cheap gear and Linus with the nice gear.
I agree! I would love to see this!
This!!
basically saying no matter what it is, Linus is not the pro
@@SparkyTheGingy he knows some stuff about computers I've heard
3:22 James just vibing in the background.
Brandon's eyes were dead inside whenever they criticized his photos, Whether it's good or bad.
Give Colton a bonus, he really deserve it this time! Then fire him or whatever...
*Yamahaguil*
So more like a Severance Package
This was amazing. Classic: Top Gear but for tech vibe that is there in all the best LTT videos. Honestly, great job!
William de Vial Check out classic DigitalRevTV videos. They often force pro photographers to use simple cameras and see what they can pull off.
they should do more videos like these in a very vague Top Gear vibe
"Professionally Clueless" that made me laugh so hard 😂

“I’m married” he says half naked with his coworkers trying to make a sexy face
As long as he earns that bread! XD
James was sooooo enjoying the modeling portion! He even closed his eyes with the maternity pics!! hahahaha. Absolutely hilarious!
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that the microwave probably smells of dog food to this day?
This though disturbed me so much
We need more of this, hahahaha.. Colton and Linus photoshoot cracked me up.
Reminds me of when they were doing fun vids in the house.
Same holy shit
Hey, nice username!
nobody like this comment, let's keep it at a nice, even number.
Linus' holding that camera without a strap is giving me anxiety
Don't worry. Linus is a professional. He never drops anything!
Yeah, never.
@@freezerbomb699 wait a second... is that sarcasm?
@@NerdRapper But this is LINUS.
*drops CPU bin*
Just finished watching it. I've started watching this LMG videos 6 months ago and watched most of Linus Tech Tips videos and some fun channel and tech quicky videos but this one for me hit the spot. Everybody was genuinely enjoying this shoot, everything felt sincere, everything seemed spontaneous, everyone was "in the mood" and as a result it was a true comedy. No emotion was overemphasized ... and much, much more but I don't seem to find the right words to express it. An Oscar!
I’ve watched almost all the videos you have in the last 3 years and this has to be my favorite video. It seems like you guys actually had fun instead of reading a script about a product. It’s amazing!
The best LTT videos I've ever seen form an entertainment standpoint!
The lols hurt
To expand on this; this video is absolutely incredible. From James in a skin-tight greensuit running the track, Colton modeling with no pants on, to Linus & Brandon simply using tech they're less exposed to, everyone is just made to feel super uncomfortable. It makes such great content. The reactions are the definition of legitimate. Its a hard format to do often, but holy crap I hope they figure out a way to do more content with the same principle.
For sure, it's got an element of Channel Super Fun.
I think Brandon was having art school photo critique flashbacks XD
Underrated comment 😆
This video is absolutely amazing. Even though it's really comedic, it really feels like a TV Show with real challenges and judges and I can see Linus and Brandon really sweating it out. It feels real and fun. More of this content please guys :D
Dude, this video was by far the best i've ever seen on this channel... Awesome work guys. Greats from Brazil, Rio.
Man, I really appreciate James and Colton in this one! Needs real confidence to do this.
And a commendable job by LTT for creating a friendly comfortable enough environment.
Emphasis on enough
Now I feel Dennis never left the "Linus Roast" character
More like Dennis was just his usual self at the roast.
Seriously though, this is great content. Actually had me engaged the entire video even the sponsor spot. Well placed. Should make more content like this. Excellent ❤️
This was a really fun video to watch. I do love the timed challenges and struggles of the video, makes it more interesting; just like scrap yard wars. Great work!
I'm not saying there was bias, but the judges shouldn't have known who took what pictures.
Yes I totally agree with you.
yup, though in this case linus's photos were much more interesting, so it was probably fine
Agree, but Linus clearly won though.
I feel like if they did it that way they would then have to score them and that takes some of the fun out of the competition.
Yeah honestly
First video from Channel Super Fun in a very long time.
...also James should get a raise.
this should get to the list of top comments, i was thinking the same, Channel Super Fun V2
James is the best and seriously makes every video better
I don't know how much James and Colton get paid, but it's clearly not enough.
This was so much fun to watch, love this longer videos for a challenge :)
Easily the funniest video I've seen you guys do yet! Absolutely loved it from start to finish!
Job Interview:
Applicant: " So what do I have to do"
Linus:" Kiss your coworker's fake pregnant belly"
yes
And punch it after 15 minutes
made out of your wifes frontal body cast XD
"Your resume is fantastic. BTW Is your wife pregnant and would she be against making a cast?"
I want to see what Brandon can do with the Fuji!!!
You probably already have.
Yeah Brandon doing an intro to photography would get an instant watch from me.
@@graywolf2600 THIS. Do it Linus!
I mean just to see what he does you can check his Instagram. He posts some amazing shots there. But the intro to photography and some tips from him would be an amazing video. Maybe even a small series of different photography tutorials or whatever you want to call that.
@@graywolf2600 I feel with how much goes into photography brandon could get a side channel for those videos
26:50 "Nice, finally" I am actually dead
This was such an awesome video! Man I would love more of this.
How do we contact Colton's agent for more modeling gigs? lol
Hes got linked in so what gives ? 😂 but lowkey i dont think any of them have Management ... maybe Linus but i m not even sure bout that
This has got to be the funniest video I've ever seen from you guys! Great work all around (including the editors)!
The lense flare for the tinder profile picture really didn't help but that last photo Linus took was absolutely perfect
Colton's "I'm married" during the photoshoot is HILARIOUS! X'D
I would love to see a cinematography version of this challenge!
Brandon would hands down win. Video is a lot more complicated than photos especially when dealing with a RED camera
that depends on whether or not shit like external microphones, gimbals or lighting is allowed because that can be such a gamechanger for phones
Win or not, let's be honest here... Linus would absolutely drop the red camera.
But the vid needs to be 2 hours long
This is one of the best (and funniest) videos you've ever made!
Also a series like this would awesome!
It feels more like a challenge of fun VS professionalism.
"Needs to convey the speed"
Waddles like a damn duck lmao
OMG the picture of Colton in the Hoodie is actually being used on LTTstore xD

I freaking loved this video. So much fun to watch while taking my lunch break
This was really funny and great to watch.
Loved the challenges and the struggle.
4:13 LMAO, whose idea was it to play around with a green-screen suit for this? Someone with my sense of humor, that's for sure.
Speaking as a photographer, Linus got a lot of very lucky spontaneous looking shots (which normal people like) while most of Brandon's shots are much better technically and better framed (which editors want).
Sabel so who’s the target audience? Normal people of editors...
Hej San normal editors?
@@Chief-wx1fj Normally it's not either-or. Usually you have enough time to take enough shots that you can get something natural and spontaneous and technically sophisticated.
as a photog hobbyist myself, linus should've had continuous mode on, or at least 3 shot burst. in my experience best way to capture lucky spontaneous shots is sheer volume.
@@GreenLycan I've always thought underexposed shots were easier to edit on...any justification for this?
omg.... I really Like It... Love This One..!!! Good Job linus...! Ur The Best
this is the best video i've seen in since lockdown. You guys are awesome.
James power walking in green spandex will unfortunately live in my head till the day I die.
"Feels like I'm wearing, nothing at all..nothing at all"
i can just imagine what passerbys were thinking during the pregnancy photoshoot moment...

I've been skipping this video for a couple days because it was so long and I don't particularly care about cameras, but I'm so glad I finally watched it. This was one of most fun videos in a long time! It kinda makes me miss Channel Super Fun.
This video was so epic holy smokes. Really like these kind of fun stuff and you should do more of it.
I haven't laughed this hard at an LTT video in a while. Great stuff!
I really enjoy LTT videos, but this was by far one of my favorites.
we need more of this
I have to admit, Brandon is an amazing photographer, the level of skill and creativity is astounding. LTT should have a separate channel which reviews and benchmarks cameras.
It is shocking that Brandon doesn't have a channel doing that, I love when he does his reviews and informative stuff It's really enjoyable to see someone who actually shows skill and knowledge about something
This video is absolutely hilarious no matter how many times I watch it great work guys!
I need more of this kind of video! Make this a series!
Watching Linus hold that expensive camera like that, made me really uncomfortable
Don't worry he disassemble 40 thousand dollar red camera
He really needs a strap. *I* would need a strap...
Lol , I wonder how they let him shot with this heavy expensive camera
Especially when he took the lense off and spoke directly to the sensor. Omg
Boy, one of the best LTT video that I've seen so far (maybe that intro from $1500 Gaming PC Secret Shopper comes close)
Christian Hattge @LinusTechTips The Secret Shopper Intro was so funny. Also loved Laptop or Bust still waiting for more episodes.
True that
It unusual. Love this video. Guys put effort into this. Thank you!
This was such a fun challenge to see you guys go through. Loved how silly the photoshoot actors/prompts were XD
Giving James flashy RGB with EDM in the background genuinely cracked me up.
When LTT meets Channel Super Fun...
That was hilarious to watch ! 😃
This was really funny. Love this videos that shows the team being themselves
This has to be one of the best videos to ever me out of this channel. Good job guys
I'm surprised Linus won, but it's clear he compensated his incompetence with creativity and energy, classic Linus!
Correction: his dropping abilities with creativity and energy.
I have to admit: James is an amazing Model.
Fynn Haggenmüller and Colton... is Colton. :)
he really had all the best facial expressions
This video is amazing,thanks LTT!
I GOT AN AD WITH LINUS IN IT IN FRONT OF THIS VIDEO I AM SHAKING!(For pulse way)
I promise you that James isn't getting paid enough for this.
Sparkey especially when your balls are out swinging in a green suit
This is fun ass work. Any pay is good enouph lol
I dare all the girls to take cool whip pies to the face and put the video on youtube!!
natural born talented for sure
I didn't know this was a 40 min video until I read a comment.

You guys are really great at content creation
17:41 cute running :D
This is so fun to watch and entertaining . we want challengs like this . Linus vs. Professional
