Dude his content is incredible. Visuals, sounds and music everything fits perfectly. Just his own style... breathtaking!
type in Anamorphia into youtube.. you'll understand
Agreed. Definitely unique.
Personally it’s some of the best if not The Best content currently on your tube. Its mind blowing, his aesthetic and talent is next level. Every creator in TH-cam should be taking notes.
i know right
as soon as i found out about him, i binged all of his videos
follow him on instagram as well, cuz when he posts a new video, he also updates his insta with a new photo
Dude.. for only $17,079.56 (plus tax & _possibly_ shipping) _you too_ could achieve this filmic look!,, 😂
Aw yeah time for another cinematographic masterpiece
: D
This guy doesn't make videos, he makes short movies that capture the mind and are so well thought out, keep up brother you are doing great
Mate, your videos NEVER fail to impress! Bladerunner vibes and aesthetic just spot on.
I am a camera newbie but your videos give me this odd feeling of satisfaction. Almost like you are a personal friend telling me about a sweet new/old camera that you just got. I absolutely love the content and the way you present it!
This guy has made a channel that deserves a oscar 👍 every video on this channel is a cinematic masterpiece ✅✅
Hey man, I just wanna say...in the age of A.D.D and things moving at such a fast pace, everybody fiending for more, rushing...your page / content / and opinions are top tier ! Very original, very thought-out, very well executed. Kudos to you for that man, thanks for sharing and hope you keep going. There will be a million subscribers here one day, and it'll be well-deserved.
As someone with ADD maybe don’t use a disorder to describe things. Its like when South Park utilized aids as a derogatory descriptor. It’s all very middle school
@@Citizenflaba Got you. Will keep that in consideration in the future for sure.

The people being cruel, callous, hurtful are certainly not making the world a better place and in fact it isn’t really up for debate.
You just want to be able to contribute to freely insult and harass people because in the past you weren’t called out on it. And now that people ARE you don’t want your little party to end.

@@user-dd2ux8wb4c we get it you peaked in middle school
@@user-dd2ux8wb4c thanks for saying my potential is infinite, lmfao…
The amount of photos you took with it really shows how much you love this camera. I love your videos.
Every six months or so I look up the RX1 to see if anyone has made a video on it. It is my absolute favorite camera and I LOVE the way it looks with the evf. Thanks for such a beautiful video- made my day!
RX1R II is better. Did you upgrade?
@@inquisitvem6723 maybe one day! In my opinion, the tilting screen, pop up vf, and 42mp sensor are nice upgrades but not necessary. I'm mainly tempted by the faster AF, which might be the RX1's only flaw. The RX1 is slightly lighter, uses the same lens, costs a third of the price, and still takes incredible images. Not to mention, the EVF looks so cool. Personally, the extra moving parts are not really a plus for me- they just make the camera more fragile. If the rx1rii was
@@lasoccerkid rx1r II has much faster auto focusing than rx1. I just bought a rx1r II from a photog forum user for $1,500 during pandemic which included a custom hand grip and strap with extra Sony batteries with charger. If a rx1r iii comes out, the price on rx1r II won’t drop much anyway…it won’t be below $1,200 for a long long time.
@@inquisitvem6723 sorry, what I mean is that I am jealous of the rx1rii focusing. I've never seen one under 2k, looks like you got an insane deal! I'll keep hoping for the rx1riii, compact full frames are awesome
I am mesmerized by every single one of your videos. Absolutely, mesmerized. The pacing, tone, and effort put into your work is inspiring. Also, I love the Cyberpunk vibe!
Your photography always really gets me lost in it. I don't understand how you create a frame with composition, colour and subject that is always exactly certain to put me in the frame of mind... It's seriously an incredible body of work.
This is incredible.
Every time i watch one of your movies, i feel the urge to call someone and just explain what i just watched.
Your content is on another level.
Just keep it up.
I can’t understand why this channel doesn’t have +50 millions followers. The creativity, artistry, is UNIQUE.
100% agree. But Sony doesn't really need to make a new version. The RX1R II is a big upgrade over the one you have (resolution, focus and speed) and after owning mine for 4 years (picked up a mint used copy for $1900), it is still one of my favorite cameras for everyday use. Set the image size to 1:1 and use the articulating screen facing up and you basically have a compact hasselblad experience that is even better than the 907x, since that one doesn't shoot square ;-) Carry lots of batteries and think of them like film which you need to change every couple hundred shots. You make beautiful images. Subscribed. Thanks.
Hands down the best content on TH-cam atm. A true master of your craft, perfect execution, and aesthetic second to none. A true film maker and story teller. Every one else on the platform should be taking notes.
Your video aesthetic reminds me of those moments in life you are completely immersed in your thoughts or art, and you don't care what you look like, you just look.
I haven't commented on anything for about 5 years... Your content is exceptional! Totally off the wall - but exceptional! Thanks!
I knew that silhouette looked familiar! So glad to see the RX1 on your channel! I've been pushing for a modern iteration of this camera!
YES YES YES AND YES!!!! Great job!! Ive been shooting RX1 AND THE RX!RII. BOTH from the very beginning and swear by them both. Also have the Fuji x100v and totally miss the shallow depth of field of full frame when I shoot the fuji. I thought I was going crazy that this idea and a video just like this was not the prevailing common wisdom. THANK YOU!!! I started watching your work with the Minolta Rokkor 40mm f2 and have been a fan ever since!!! WELL DONE!!! Thank you!!! Michael Neumann One World Productions.
Superb video and hauntingly good music. I love the concept of giving the usually emotionless review video a completely cinematic and dystopian look and feel. As a branding specialist I admire your courage and skill.
Those photos are fantastic, love the super wide look when viewing on youtube's Theater mode. They have a film-like quality to them too, despite being an older digital camera, I'd definitely say these images will always look amazing and timeless.
I just let go of my RX1r2 because the GRIII proved to be the one I lifted to take the shot when I ran with both last year-giving up very little. I have no regrets letting go of the RX1r2.
That being said, I'm having a hard time letting go of my og RX1 that I picked up in 2012. It defined a decade of my work, and that lens, while not the last word in sharpness or evenness, has a look that is hard to replace.
Great video and storytelling, as always. 👍
@@-_ch40s_ Guess it's a matter of perspective of what the buyer wants and how comfortable their budget is.
The r2 version has a lot going for it that's unique to it but has pushed the limits of what -you- camera manufacturers can -do- fit in a small package that puts more demands on the user to get good results.
Another masterpiece. Please never stop making videos. Thanks.
Thank you! I was waiting for this one! One of my all time favourite cameras! Brilliant video as always!
Great video man! And I love how the images aren't silky smooth but have that roughness too it! It gives shots so much more characther!
Glad someone appreciates this camera. I got one at work the year it released and was obsessed. Took it everywhere. Had to part ways with it eventually, but would pick up a used RX1R for myself about a year ago and use the thing every single day.
Your videos are a VIBE, dude. You've got a great eye (and ear) for dystopia.
I cannot get over the quality of your videos, and the vibe. It's unreal. So so good.
I like how you actually have the correct canvas aspect ratio on your video.
Big Up 🆙
You are simply in a different league... MInd-blowing production!
Man, your Style, Music, Visuals, Fell, of making this VIDEOS is making me go nuts. What an high-end-epic-photo-cultur Style. WOW. Thank you so much for your work.
Ive had my RX1 RX1R and RX1R2 since its release. It's the best camera and only tool in my box I truly enjoy using. I have modern DSLRs and mirrorless but for strange reason I gravitate towards this camera whenever im traveling.
Jaw-dropping work as always! Your work is such an escape for me.
Man, that opening scene, with that music... so haunting, love it!
Your image making is astonishing. The video and production is superb. The camera certainly works beautifully. Really cool!
Your videos are always top notch bro! Always look forward to seeing new ones drop!
man, your content is without a doubt the coolest produced product review and recco content on youtube. period.
Best cinematic reviews ever.
Yes! I purchased a new RX1RII in late 2016 and I still use it weekly.
I have so many great memories of mundane, everyday life captured with it. Places now demolished,, friends and family who have moved or even passed away.
Battery is horrible, focusing is slow and unreliable, but especially in the earlier years comparing its photos to smartphone ones is night and day. I have owned pro Nikon DSLRs since the early 10s but I would've never bothered carrying them with me during this time.
I had to check if I was watching Blade Runner or your review for a second there... you are way to good with your videos dude!
Try the Leica Q2, I switched to it from the RX1 and never looked back. I wish Sony will release Mark 3 of this camera because it is smaller than the Q2 . I had the RX1 and the RX1 MK2, the MK2 had a better resolution 42MP and built in EVF. I missed the built in flash of RX1 when I made this upgrade to RX1 MK2. My issues with RX1 cameras: the battery (very small) you need to carry many of them for a day of shooting. Autofocus is bad. No more updates from Sony. Video is only 1080p.
Brilliant - so good
Thanks so much, Ted!
Amazing video as always! Do a video talking about the process you go through to create a single image, like, how you find a good place to shoot, how you frame, a little bit of the post processing you do, would love to know how you do your shenanigans!
Gx’s videos, both visually and musically, are entirely on another league of their own. Love the concept❤
Coming from an RX1R II, I have to agree with most said here. I have an A7S III with quite a few lens options but if I had to choose one camera it would be the RX1R II. For someone just getting into photos and videos though the RX10 IV is another stand out king of an "All-rounder" that despite being 6+ years old dominates. Sony in General has some truly amazing stand out cameras in so many segments.
Truly incredible production. I’ve binged watch so many videos already. Love everything. 🙌
Dude I'm gonna go bankrupt with all the things I want to buy from seeing it in your channel. But don't stop please. This content is the best I've seen for a long time. Keep it up! Wish I could film like you, what a dream.
Right? I went straight to checking camera listings online to check how much these were going for lol. So good though!
@@NunoAlmeidaPhotography Dont get fooled, you can take these shots with an iphone 7
I had a quick check. In Australia the RX1 is going to set you back $5400. For that kind of cash I would rather get a Sony A7iii with a lens. During Black Friday these were going for $1600 body only.
Hands down, the best videos on TH-cam. Your chronicling of past and current cameras from the perspective of a futuristic and mildly dystopian future is somehow nostalgic, contemporary and sci-fi all at the same time.
Many years ago i bought an rx1r in a new condition. After a while i sold all my gear. I had many many cameras, nikon dxs, sony a7's rx100's rx10's, fuji x100's , xt-20 etc lenses etc. My only gear for the last years is this rx1 (and samsung ultra series smartphones). Rx1 with the zeiss is just a masterpiece and kills at photography most of new tech combos. I still remember some tests many years ago with my last x100iv and the differences where as night and day.
it has to be said, it's not the camera, any camera.. it's all YOU. I bet you could make these epic images with shoebox. great talent and another awesome vid.
This was my holy grail camera. I bought a broken one years ago. Had to sell and got it back right after the pandemic. I have all the accessories now and have a video of images on my page.
Feels like a hollywood director joins the TH-cam game.
I've been shooting with an RX1 for 8 years. I've tried many other cameras but nothing has convinced me to replace it. Its definitely not perfect, but I've taken so many memorable photos with it, that it's pretty hard for me to let go of it at this point.
I'm curious. What are the things you don't like about it?
Thanks so much.
@@FifaInspected on the mk1 the autofocus is really slow. The mk2 is much better, but it's still slow by modern standards. The battery life is pretty bad as well, especially on the mk2, you definitely have to carry around multiple batteries. Also the SD card read/write time is extremely slow on the RX1R versions due to the high resolution sensor. I regularly run into an issue where I cannot review the images for a few seconds after I've taken the picture if I snap a few pics in succession, even with a fast SD card. Part of it might be due to me shooting RAW+JPG. For the mk2 they slightly altered the body and made it ever so slightly thicker. For whatever reason it being thicker made it a bit harder for me to hold (my hands are on the larger side). Fotodiox sells a small grip for this camera that's makes it much easier to hold.
Despite all these issues, the image quality is just so unbelievably good. I've had other Sony cameras, but something about this camera + lens combo and the way Sony has tuned it results in such stunning images.
@@tamoorc OK.. .thanks.
This would probably become my daily camera that I take with me everywhere. I shoot a lot of different subjects from landscape to street. Right now I'm taking my xt-4 and would like something smaller.. The full frame is an added bonus.
@@FifaInspected Battery life and lack of tilting screen, and the 1/2000s shutter speed.
I have no interest in photography but I always watch your videos because they are amazing. Maybe one day I’ll even pick up a camera
i want more pics of this camera, of the camera itself and pictures taken with. i love this camera desing.
Watching this on my Xperia 1 ii. Got the full advantage of 21:9 4K screen with this amazing video🔥
The music combined with the images is 10/10 on this one!
Another banger
3:22 my eyes are definitely playing tricks on me but if I didn’t know any better, I’d say that’s Caleb from Bad Flashes!
Your eyes are not playing tricks on you :). I did an event with him in NYC last month!
@@GxAce That’s awesome! Great video as always, I especially liked the images this time around; the increased depth of field from an actual 35mm f/2 lens really adds to the images.
Great !! 👍
You know you gonna get the ride of your life every time there’s a new GXAce video. The mix between Cyberpunk and Blade Runner of the videos are mind blowing.
Right? It's so good!!
Had no idea this camera existed... I fully agree... only thing missing on my X100V is a full frame sensor.
The second I saw the thumb I knew exactly what camera it was gonna be and I couldn’t agree more
I agree the RX1r is great camera although it is pretty dated as you stated. The current smallest full frame Sony is the A7C and I pair it with the Zeiss Sonnar 35mm for Sony. When I go on trips or Vacations it is what I take with me and get pretty amazing results. No it is not as small as the RX1r but The Color Science, AF System and all the other advance features makes it the best bang for the buck.
I don’t know the Sony world (Nikon/Fuji user), is that Zeiss f/1.8?
@@WatchmanNiel f2
**FUN FACT** this was the last camera that Sony produced that was actually still manufactured in Japan! I hope to see a RX1R III still get released.
And i hope to see RX2 😂😂
So crazy to be casually looking at all these photos and realizing some were taken just blocks away from where I’m watching! Shout out to GR.
Good eye! ;). That water tower is awesome. Haven’t noticed it before.
Every damm video is a small movie.. This man has raw talent for his craft... stay awesome
Your work is so similar to Ash Thorp. The grit the fear the cyber punk and steampunk feeling. Insane!!!!
Amazing, as always. Thanks bro
I don't know if this dude is a cinematography genius or he's living in a parallel universe where everything looks like it's straight from a Blade Runner movie.
Ur blowing my mind with every video. You are a liminal space pro with no equal. The angles and lighting are ridiculous. Amazing.
You need to make a video on the sigma fp. I think you would appreciate its compact full frame design
I remember when this came out. I love the tiny design! But I was kind of pissed at Sony for not making it an interchangeable lens camera. I agree that fixed focal length shooting is both challenging and rewarding and provides more satisfying results, however I do think you should be able to switch lenses. After many years of waiting I finally chose the Sigma FPL, another extremely small full frame camera with tactile dials and buttons, but you can change the lens. I def think that Sony would Destroy the market if they produced an updated, higher mp version of this camera body, but also made it so you can use the huge amount of E mount lenses on the market, or adapt vintage lenses to it.
Excellent video as always. I want to thank you for making these videos, when ever I feel down I come back to your channel and come away feeling inspired!
I use mine more than any of my more modern camera. It’s the best camera ever made. And the technology to get that lens that close to the sensor is just flappable and incredibly awesome.
I'm preaching this for years. Even if I don't like the built quality and ergonomics of Sony, we need a small Full frame fixed lens camera to compete with Leica. Built in EVF, tilt screen...and if you can put a true 28mm f2 on it.. not like the fake 28mm of Leica
sound design and the delivery of the video are so on point. thx for the video.
Love that blade runner type intro shot
I need a MKIII version of this RIGHT JOW and I would literally buy it asap
Thanks for another great video. I get super excited every time I see a new post!
Dude.. you can even make the subject a rubber duck and I'll still be watching this.
Dude, this is the coolest channel. Like I don't watch most camera/lens review channels because they're boring, but this guy is lit 🔥.
U make me.interested and excited for every single camera that u feature in your channel. Only downside I go to ebay and boom . Expensive 😂 your channel is great!!
This channel is the only youtube channel that I force myself to listen to using headphone. The audio is just amazing.
You should be a movie director tbh your cinematic style, sounds and color grading is so unique & classy. Definitely a cinema-worthy
this has to be the best youtube channel of all time
The most important is not the camera but the EYES of the photographer and HIS SKILLS.....
Damn it. I've been waiting for the prices to get lower and now it is going to see a significant spike. 🤣
As usual, you make masterpieces.
I love this content, I am just blown away by production. The feeling, the color, and narrative. keep it up man.
I picked one of these up about 2 or 3 years ago and love it.
I’ve been salivating for an update to this camera for a couple years now, I hope Sony sees and agrees with this 😩
You Video Style is incredible, Pure Inspiration. Tks!
although the cinematography is amazing, the sound design on these is out of this world... what the... heck! Amazing
Same here... my go to is my Sony RX1Rii. Two iterations ahead of the RX1, but it is an absolutely stellar camera, and I love it. The Zeiss Sonnar is easily one of the finest 35mm lenses that exists, especially as it has been engineered to be paired with the Sony Exmor sensor. Stealth, lightness, versatility, all the manual control a pro/ enthusiast would want, image quality to die for... the most underrated and perhaps the most significant full frame digital camera that was made in terms of it being a TRUE compact sized version (even the Fuji is bigger with APSC, and the Leica Q-series as well). Sony: reinvigorate the RX1 line!
I just purchased an RX1 mostly because of this video. Can't wait to explore with this unique image capture device!
Mom wake up, new Ace vid just dropped!
Amazing on all things as usual. Sound design, visuals and narrative. But yeah.. STOP. DRIVING. PRICES. UP!
Every camera you showcase makes me want to buy it
your shots continue to astound me!
THE most underrated TH-cam channel I've ever seen.
