Camera Conspiracies - most viewers are on mobile and the youtube app has a built in web browser and the links all open in the youtube web browser, where obviously nobody is logged in, so it's really a hassle these days. I face the same issue.

I come from a scientific background, but I have to tell you I appreciate your "reviews" more than anything as a) you are honest and b) you try to identify the weaknesses. Of course you are also entertaining and you are the only channel that I look forward to watching every day. Dont apologise about what you do, you are doing great job, there is method in the madness, there is depth and quality in what you do and at the same time you make us smile. Keep doing what you do and being yourself.
Dude, you are one of the only channels left on TH-cam worth watching. You kept your personality while the rest of the hobos assimilated into the borg mind, they followed the golden carrot, right off a boring cliff. Please never change man. I don't watch your videos for reviews, I do it because its fun and entertaining. you're the best man.

I'd say camera conspiracy review often reveals something no one else does. I used to just watch it for comedy. But once I started actually paying attention to the footage, he actually shows a lot of interesting stuff, just requires real attention because it's all hidden behind the sarcasm and humor.
Dude, I just gotta say this. I am so glad that I found your channel, however it was recommended or whatever. I just find myself smiling and laughing the entire time. Even on your old stuff, and now that you do a lot more wildlife videos too it's just great. You have a phenominal channel.
The exact reason why I respect your videos.... NGL, as soon as I click your videos, I automatically thumbs up because I know for a fact the video won't disappoint 👍🏾!! found your channel in 2020, Subscribed INSTANTLY, watched every video, and started vlogging myself, the definition of "Influenced" 🤣🤣 Thanx man, again.... love your content 💯💯
Kasey, you clearly must be feeling pressure to explain the “why” behind your video production decisions. Don’t listen to the haters. Keep making the videos you want to create. CC is by far my favorite TH-cam channel and has no equal! Keep up the great work my friend!
Kasey your content output consistency is surreal. I love it man. There is ALWAYS a new video of you dunking on high end gear in a comedic yet accurate fashion and I live for it
Your channel content is on another level. The humor mixed with real life use of cameras. The comparisons you do are far more enjoyable and who needs the tech when you can see it! Keep up the great work!
Totally agree about the bit rates and the codecs. Each of my videos requires 150-200 landscape shots (videos). Ideally, I should use vlog and the highest possible bit rate to maximise dynamic range and give more scope for colour grading. In reality, I use 8 bit, 100mbs and H.264. Vlog is a nightmare to shoot with and edit. H.265 kills editing performance and ProRes has ridiculously large file sizes which are a nightmare to manage. For this reason nearly all TH-camrs use 8 bit, 100mbs and H.264.
I'm not even a photographer or videographer - I don't care about "proper" review channels - I'm here for your journey and the hilarity of your videos. You're literally the only "camera channel" I'm subscribed to :)
You are a youtube champ. I can't imagine dealing with all the idiotic comments. I give you much credit for that. Just keep being you, and block those bung holes. I remember when I was getting into cameras and watching youtube reviews they were all the same. It was when you launched your Sony A7III disappointment review I found your channel. You bring the best combination of information and entertainment. So I will tell you well done.
LOVE every one of your videos. Literally laughing all the time. So positive, so different, so brilliant 👏 thanks for your comedy/entertainment and info on cameras 📷 😀
What I appreciate about your videos is that you present the gear as people would typically use it. For how you shoot, the X-H2s fell flat. You've made it clear its not a bad camera, but not a step up from what you currently have. No reason to attack you for honesty.
I'm sure like many others, I started watching this channel just for the jokes. Now I see it as one of the most trusted voices in the camera scene. Keep calling it as you see it!
This video is gold! Kasey stopping the video, running down the street to pull fire alarms and use pay phones to dial 911 to get more and more siren activity.. 🙂 "....this is just a scrambled mess of awkwardness..." LOL! Dude, you deserve far more subs that you have. I don't understand how people get pissed at you. Your channel info clearly states that it's first and foremost a comedy channel. Seriously, you're style is so much fun. And, you give time to many brands. I love how you use a new device for a while without saying anything then show that footage once you get to a review video. Keep up the fun style. BTW, Ken's brutally honest style has befallen many products over the years, not just the XH-2S. Have a great weekend!
Your real-world view camera reviews centered around the 5K Toronto world you live in really show the "real user" what to expect with their camera of choice in an extremely entertaining, non-biased way that is 100% genuine. I showed 4 others your videos at work, and after watching "Camera Gear Addiction" they immediately became fans. Well, one fell back into rehab for his Meth habit, but 3 others subscribed. Seriously Kasey, as others below have said, keep doing what you do!
Don't ever stop doing this sort of thing - you are the most sane, realistic and at the same time really amusing channel covering this stuff. Every time I watch you I appreciate what I have more, and go and have fun taking footage (and photos :) ) with it. Thank you :)
Being a TH-camr is very annoying at times. Never change your style, you are legit Casey! Your unique way of showing a camera in action always makes me watch the whole video. I have multiple Sony cameras and if I want the specs I watch Jason Vong but I watch you to see it in use during everyday life! Boogers have a way of wrecking a party.
Honestly I love the way you review. You are soo unique, comedic and honest in your reviews (especially love how you change your mind admitting your own flaws in opinions you hold). I don't think there's anyone like you even across other tech items
Hey Kasey I've been saving up for that ulanzi tripod. I'll get it through your link when I'm ready. Also thanks for all the knowledge that you share man. It might not always be the perfect reviews, but at least it's honest, most of the time, sometimes... You so right about everyone making the same videos. Hope I can also find my own style one day...
Hey, Kasey! I just want to say that I have been enjoying your content for quite a while. I appreciate your humor, rants and the calmness of your speech. You create fun content that I have a good time with even binge watching. When I found your channel, initially I didn't get your style as I was looking for some camera review and I was wondering "who is this mischievous-looking rascal of a youtuber and WTH is he even talking about!?" but your content grew on me quite fast. After a 14 hour drive mostly listening to you I feel it's time to put a filter thread conversion ring on your finger. Silliness aside, I wish you all the best and an ever more satisfying career!
Keep on making your videos man I love how you do real world reviews. I'm a pro photographer with 18 years in the biz and specs mean nothing. It's all about usability. Keep on keeping on buddy.
I currently don't have the need for a proper camera (only using my phone), but if I ever will buy one, your channel is the one I would go to for advise. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Here on the left coast of Canadaland, I watch your videos as soon as I wake up; both this channel & the Veg Police channel. Often the content is not relevant to me - yet I watch every video from beginning to end. Thank you for being one of the best parts of my day.
I feel the exact same way! So many “reviews” are the same - this thing is awesome, this is a must buy, yada yada. Everyone is afraid to speak honestly about the products they are reviewing for fear that they will lose their coveted status with the camera manufacturers. Not surprised at all that you are having a difficult time selling the H2s. Quite simply, it’s overpriced for what it is. The average Fuji user does not care about any of the advanced features and it’s missing the manual controls. Real world AF performance is certainly better than T4, but still not as good as Sony or Canon. Had they developed a new AF system that performed as good or better than the competition, the camera would have been a huge hit. Unfortunately, Fuji just didn’t deliver on expectations, at least not in video mode. Keep doing what your doing Kasey - we all appreciate you!!
Your videos are not ( it seems / looks like to me )staged or overly produced, but you seem informed and prepared , you have a personality that shines over the stiff necks. Keep it up ! Enjoy watching and I’m not a camera guy, tho I do have my DJI drones and pocket and GoPros, not to mention cell phone (shit I just did).
If I would have to choose one review of a camera or lens, it would be your channel. It's so special. To be honest most people don't care about numbers but how it looks. And you are pointing out how things look in different applications showing the strengths and weaknesses of the gear in those different applications. What else do you need?
Excellent video, Kasey. Funny as usual, plus very valid points about TH-camrs. Problems I'm guilty of myself. I've decided to start filming more of my TH-cam videos in 8-bit HD. The filmmaker in me lead me to shooting everything in 4K 10-bit. Which only slows down my post production. For actual film projects, that's fine. But, for videos intended to be viewed on TH-cam, it's overkill. Have a great weekend. And thanks for the inspiration.
Your review is more trustworthy than many of the most popular channels. I am so tired of the "read-the-spec-sheet" content. They rushed to publish the video, and they don't get to reveal the real shortcomings of those products.
I am glad you are getting this off your chest. Your real life practical experiences help ME and so many others. You learn and you share what and how you learn. Your skills make you Freaking TOP of the ladder man. Another positive thing, your looking pretty buff, keep doing what your doing. You deserve all the success in the world.
Sigma 56mm has imo a massive 3D pop, have you actually tried it ? Sharp as hell also, in Olympus world it is as good as the 75mm 1,8 oly lens...but that one is 2 times the price.
I have maybe been the guy talking too much about the m50. But i like your way of reviewing and a genuine hands on feel i get because of them. I do share the same wildlife bug, so the wildlife addition has been a blessing. Getting to see you struggle and eventually land the shot is also very relatable. I watch your videos as to see how my brother in canada is doing. To me this is a big family and very happy to see the notification pop up. Btw you're the only guy I've pressed the bell icon for. Lastly please try the r7, i want to know what you discover in your journey. Thanks.
I love this wavelength, this is how everyone should talk. As if the general absurdist humor wasn't enough, every now and then we are gifted solid gold, burst out laughing comedy. That comment about "the mitakon days," training the eye to perceive missed focus of the ear killed me! Total image of a Shaolin temple in some mountain village, Kasey in a saffron robe kneeling among a row of acolytes, each with a line of lenses before them with increasing toneh ... the final the mitakon ...
Dude your reviews are awesome! Your unique style and sense of humor are super entertaining. Never mind the haters! The only reason you’re getting hate and relatively low views is because your content demands a certain (high) level of intellectual capability. Love your videos ❤️
I look forward for every video you put out, very entertaining. I don’t shoot much video unless it’s on a tripod and love my XT3 that’s good enough for my photography.
Great review channel 👍.when out & about in town..when will you compair the xiaomi Leica 1" camera..your reveiws are different...you point out the good & bad..thats great
When it comes to this channel, those who don't get it just don't get it. It's not even about the gear🌸🐻❄ Thanks for all the sweet content, keep it coming:)
There is something worse that specsheet reading reviewers. The trade show style videos where someone interviews a sales executive holding a product and mentioning random specsheet information. Manufacturers and distributors that live in the dark ages still do this.
So happy I stumbled upon your videos - entertaining and informative. I hope to cross paths with you in trails of the Don Valley some day so we can awkwardly chat for a few minutes.
Me (and I'm sure) many others, watch your videos precisely because they're different, and quite awesome I must say 👏🏻 And the internet is a baffling place... Nobody walks into a fruit store and starts saying out loud "the way you pile up the melons is stupid", walk a few steps, stop again and say out loud "where are all the microwaves? That's what everyone needs right now, not melons!". And then they leave the store, most people inside just puzzled, they turn around at the door and scream "thumbs down!".
Glad I'm not a vlogger. My most popular videos were shot 8 - 9 years ago with either my Nikon D800 or GoPro 2 or both. No one cares that it wasn't 100k at 12 million frames per second. I just watched several videos on the new GoPro 11 and they all sounded just like what you posted about the Fuji. Looking forward to your review of the two new GoPros.
I see many comments saying they started watching you for the comedy without caring for the camera stuff. Not my case. The thing is that I wanted to start vlogging and find the proper tool, and you took me there and got me what I wanted. You really gave me all the info that I wanted before making the purchase. And I did not regret my camera choice. Thanks. I think you also influence youtubers for the good, a good example is that 10 youtuber commandments video. Im drunk. Guess this is better than texting my ex. Thanks again.
No photo, video enthusiast benefits from TH-cam videos if the TH-camr only praises the product because of the affiliate links. Honest and practical information is what we want. As well as information about what is not good about the products. - Thank you for the information you bring across.
4:27 Looking at that ProRes footage the blacks look really dark and the brights seem to clip faster than the other footage Which makes me wonder Ive been using sony for years, recording externally to atomos for prores There is a quirk when using that combo where the external prores footage has messed up contrast/saturation so the brights blow out and the dark get crushed when compared to the non-prores footage The issue is the prores doesnt save metadata to tell the editing software whether its a full or limited data signal In davinci Resolve i have to right click the footage>clip attributes>data levels 'full' to restore the prores to normal I wonder if the fuji has this same issue when recording to prores internally
I feel you on selling fuji gear: I've waited a good 2 month before to be able to sell my fuji xt30 to a photographer. One of the best lightweight camera for photography, in perfect condition, perfect price (700euros with the kit lens), and still have to wait two month. Good luck on that! :)
Took me 2 months to sell my X-T3, and had to deal with 2 scammers to boot. Also, I appreciate what you do on your channel. I can care less about reviews or wildlife, I’m here for a good laugh.
I love this channel..my daughter also became a fan of kasey..we appreciate your hard work you put into your videos..ignore those haters and please comtinue doing what you do so well..
In ye old days of the quality of film/negative the standard was 14 lines per millimetre to be regarded as the quality threshold, So I've been conscience of how many don't know about quality or care x.
DPReview just posted an XH-2S vs. GH6 video. This was great - I haven't laughed this hard in a while. You are the king of TH-cam camera comedy with engaging content.
your show is the best! I hate those guys that read the spec sheets. They are a generic waste of time. You have an opinion! That is what we need! Thank you
The great thing thats sets people like you and Markuspix apart is that you don't have pink and purple backgrounds. Every damn video that I see has pink and purple backgrounds and it drives me nuts. Like a clone army. Your originality and humour is what makes you different. Keep going!
There are other applications the 422 high bit rate would make sense, but in day to day use of a vlogger, I don't see any difference. I like your real world reviews
The only people who We are impressing are other picky users. The ‘every day’ people could care less about shadow details or slight softness of the corners. My followers don’t look at my photos and say “You probably captured this image with a $2,500 lens.” I’ve had other photographers get upset as I tell them my photos come from Nikon Z5 when they’re expecting me to say something like a Nikon Z7 II or Sony A7 VI. We are too worried about what other users think rather than focusing on what a customer wants. Not to mention too worried about what a TH-camr thinks about their camera. OH MY GOD!!! HE’S TALKING SHIT ABOUT MY CAMERA!!! 🙄😒 As always… great content. Thank you
It’s painfully obvious that you’ve updated your a7siii to the new firmware because it now has a yellow tint. I have to color grade the hell out of everything now. No more straight out of camera footage from now on. Not unless I want everyone and everything to look like the baby sun from teletubbies. Thanks Sony for adopting you’re own crippling system for your flagship cameras. I swear I’m thinking of switching to the a1. That way Sony will quit screwing up my camera to make it worse than the fx3 so people can feel good about spending the extra 500 bucks. End of rant. Until next time
QUESTION: who would win in a mud wrestling match: camera conspiracies vs fototripper? I might have bet on kasey, but the slippery mud evens out strength advantage. 😳
Hate to break it to you Kasey, but the reason why no one wants your XH2S is because you're selling it for the same price that people can buy it brand new. $3,300 CAD is $2500 USD. And $2500 USD is what the XH2S sells for brand new. Although I'd definitely trust to buy it from you over other used sellers, and it's obviously practically unused. Maybe throw in a Fuji lens you don't need for a good deal if you have one and that might help sell it. Some people just want turn key, where they don't need to worry about searching for a separate lens, they just want to get into the Fuji system and start shooting out of the box as long as it's a decent usable lens. I think the real problem with people buying such a new camera used, is that they might fear the owner is selling it because they did something to it, like dropped it on accident and then realized "Oh crap I just messed up my brand new camera! Here let me sell it real quick so I don't have to eat this expensive loss". Or they'll think "Well it's brand new and this guy is selling it, he clearly doesn't like it, so there has to be something he doesn't like about it". And well you did make a video trashing it, so if they watch your video on it, then they might not want it lol. Also the pictures you used for the listing aren't great. They look like you just quickly snapped a couple random shots with your phone. You should do every angle in studio quality shots so that the camera looks immaculate. Here's an idea...maybe even offer an autograph with gear you sell. Like some kind of fancy sturdy sticker badge made (that can be removed without issue, or separately that can be placed by the buyer if they choose) that goes on the body somewhere prominent but innocuous that doesn't interfere with the usage, with a fancy autograph of your name and/or the channel name on it that, like black with gray marker. Doesn't have to be hand signed, could be printed or engraved. But just something a person could show off and say "See I got this from the camera conspiracies guy!". You could order up a bunch of those for very cheap, to put on or include with gear you sell. Or even make it as simple as made with a sturdy label printer, that way it could even be stuck to lenses. I could imagine like a sturdy black label with some beveled white writing that just simply says "CAMERA CONSPIRACIES", using something like the X-files typewriter font, maybe even with a picture of the channel icon on it. You could even joke around and add a small 2x3 or 4x6 portrait of you hand signed with something like "Kasey loves you". Just a whole little fun package of goodies to go with the gear for the buyer. Would cost almost nothing, but add unique value. So you can add all 3 in a separate little bag put into the box. A little engraved metal sticker badge of the channel name and/or icon, a beveled font label with channel name, and a hand signed autographed portrait.
@@cameraconspiracies That's true. But a lot of people like to get around the customs fee, so they'll just drive over and back without saying a thing. Also keep in mind that the warranty only applies to the original buyer. This is explicitly stated in Fuji's warranty policy. So even if someone were to buy your camera, it technically comes with zero warranty. So if anything happens to it that would be covered under warranty, they're screwed. At that point, paying even a bit more for the peace of mind would not be unreasonable to most people.
The video quality in cameras has peaked for the most part over the past few years. You really can't go wrong with most modern hybrid cameras. Even the 8bit codecs are so robust you would struggle to find the difference in most respects in a project timeline.
@@JetBen555 absolutely I would prefer 10 and 12 bit color but given proper exposure and WB are accurate most 8bit codecs will easily mix in most projects. From what I’ve seen 8bit is just less forgiving.
@@JetBen555 10bit literally does not change the dynamic range what so ever. It's just the gradients between the shades. 10-bit is useful when recording in heavy logarithmic formats so you don't get banding. That's it.
I appreciate your videos for all of the thigns I can't find from the spec sheet. Like I can read. Are the reviewers aware of that? Also your videos are also just hilarious to watch.
As frustrating as your videos can sometimes be from user error, I do really like and appreciate them because you really test them hard on their practicality. And your humour really makes you stand out. Since you stopped being vegan you’ve been more relaxed and funny again, somehow you were more frustrated and angry as a vegan.
Your side-by-side comparisons in real-world scenarios show us the real differences in performance between gear. Keep doing what you're doing and let trolls be trolls. There are always going to be people telling you that they know better than you, because they know the specs and codecs from reading about it.
I happened to start this video on a tuned 4K home theater setup and there was a difference in the codec quality Noticeably better dynamic range and more detail, would I have noticed without side-by-side comparison? Absolutely not

I'm sure like many others, I started watching this channel just for the jokes. Now I see it as one of the most trusted voices in the camera scene. Keep calling it as you see it!
This video is gold! Kasey stopping the video, running down the street to pull fire alarms and use pay phones to dial 911 to get more and more siren activity.. 🙂 "....this is just a scrambled mess of awkwardness..." LOL! Dude, you deserve far more subs that you have. I don't understand how people get pissed at you. Your channel info clearly states that it's first and foremost a comedy channel. Seriously, you're style is so much fun. And, you give time to many brands. I love how you use a new device for a while without saying anything then show that footage once you get to a review video. Keep up the fun style. BTW, Ken's brutally honest style has befallen many products over the years, not just the XH-2S. Have a great weekend!
Your real-world view camera reviews centered around the 5K Toronto world you live in really show the "real user" what to expect with their camera of choice in an extremely entertaining, non-biased way that is 100% genuine. I showed 4 others your videos at work, and after watching "Camera Gear Addiction" they immediately became fans. Well, one fell back into rehab for his Meth habit, but 3 others subscribed. Seriously Kasey, as others below have said, keep doing what you do!
Don't ever stop doing this sort of thing - you are the most sane, realistic and at the same time really amusing channel covering this stuff. Every time I watch you I appreciate what I have more, and go and have fun taking footage (and photos :) ) with it.
Thank you :)
By far my favorite youtuber and I have like a toe in the hobby. Your vids are different, unique and funny as hell, just keep being you man lol
this is why I love your content, it's different from all the others. keep it up, cheers from New Zealand.
Being a TH-camr is very annoying at times. Never change your style, you are legit Casey! Your unique way of showing a camera in action always makes me watch the whole video. I have multiple Sony cameras and if I want the specs I watch Jason Vong but I watch you to see it in use during everyday life! Boogers have a way of wrecking a party.
Honestly I love the way you review. You are soo unique, comedic and honest in your reviews (especially love how you change your mind admitting your own flaws in opinions you hold). I don't think there's anyone like you even across other tech items
You are a legend dont let things stop you from creating. You my friend are a gem.
Bud, from kingston ontario.....Love the honesty and the format style......you rock.
"I didn't go to college, I don't deserve to have thoughts." 💀😂😂 man I almost spit my coffee out.
Hey Kasey I've been saving up for that ulanzi tripod. I'll get it through your link when I'm ready. Also thanks for all the knowledge that you share man. It might not always be the perfect reviews, but at least it's honest, most of the time, sometimes... You so right about everyone making the same videos. Hope I can also find my own style one day...
Hey, Kasey! I just want to say that I have been enjoying your content for quite a while. I appreciate your humor, rants and the calmness of your speech. You create fun content that I have a good time with even binge watching. When I found your channel, initially I didn't get your style as I was looking for some camera review and I was wondering "who is this mischievous-looking rascal of a youtuber and WTH is he even talking about!?" but your content grew on me quite fast.
After a 14 hour drive mostly listening to you I feel it's time to put a filter thread conversion ring on your finger.
Silliness aside, I wish you all the best and an ever more satisfying career!
I love when your videos are all over the place.
Keep on making your videos man I love how you do real world reviews. I'm a pro photographer with 18 years in the biz and specs mean nothing. It's all about usability. Keep on keeping on buddy.
I currently don't have the need for a proper camera (only using my phone), but if I ever will buy one, your channel is the one I would go to for advise. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I loved the Fuji style color grade of the Sony footage. It looked really nice. Would love a video of your grading process for it.
I have no idea what you're rambling about but I still enjoy listening to your clips!
Here on the left coast of Canadaland, I watch your videos as soon as I wake up; both this channel & the Veg Police channel. Often the content is not relevant to me - yet I watch every video from beginning to end. Thank you for being one of the best parts of my day.
I feel the exact same way! So many “reviews” are the same - this thing is awesome, this is a must buy, yada yada. Everyone is afraid to speak honestly about the products they are reviewing for fear that they will lose their coveted status with the camera manufacturers.
Not surprised at all that you are having a difficult time selling the H2s. Quite simply, it’s overpriced for what it is. The average Fuji user does not care about any of the advanced features and it’s missing the manual controls. Real world AF performance is certainly better than T4, but still not as good as Sony or Canon. Had they developed a new AF system that performed as good or better than the competition, the camera would have been a huge hit. Unfortunately, Fuji just didn’t deliver on expectations, at least not in video mode.
Keep doing what your doing Kasey - we all appreciate you!!
Your videos are not ( it seems / looks like to me )staged or overly produced, but you seem informed and prepared , you have a personality that shines over the stiff necks. Keep it up ! Enjoy watching and I’m not a camera guy, tho I do have my DJI drones and pocket and GoPros, not to mention cell phone (shit I just did).
If I would have to choose one review of a camera or lens, it would be your channel. It's so special. To be honest most people don't care about numbers but how it looks. And you are pointing out how things look in different applications showing the strengths and weaknesses of the gear in those different applications. What else do you need?
Excellent video, Kasey. Funny as usual, plus very valid points about TH-camrs. Problems I'm guilty of myself. I've decided to start filming more of my TH-cam videos in 8-bit HD. The filmmaker in me lead me to shooting everything in 4K 10-bit. Which only slows down my post production. For actual film projects, that's fine. But, for videos intended to be viewed on TH-cam, it's overkill. Have a great weekend. And thanks for the inspiration.
Your review is more trustworthy than many of the most popular channels.
I am so tired of the "read-the-spec-sheet" content.
They rushed to publish the video, and they don't get to reveal the real shortcomings of those products.
I am glad you are getting this off your chest. Your real life practical experiences help ME and so many others. You learn and you share what and how you learn.
Your skills make you Freaking TOP of the ladder man.
Another positive thing, your looking pretty buff, keep doing what your doing. You deserve all the success in the world.
I'm not really that into cameras but I come here for the humour, you just make me laugh which is a good thing. Great and unique sense of humour!!!
Sigma 56mm has imo a massive 3D pop, have you actually tried it ? Sharp as hell also, in Olympus world it is as good as the 75mm 1,8 oly lens...but that one is 2 times the price.
I have maybe been the guy talking too much about the m50. But i like your way of reviewing and a genuine hands on feel i get because of them. I do share the same wildlife bug, so the wildlife addition has been a blessing. Getting to see you struggle and eventually land the shot is also very relatable. I watch your videos as to see how my brother in canada is doing. To me this is a big family and very happy to see the notification pop up. Btw you're the only guy I've pressed the bell icon for. Lastly please try the r7, i want to know what you discover in your journey. Thanks.
I love this wavelength, this is how everyone should talk. As if the general absurdist humor wasn't enough, every now and then we are gifted solid gold, burst out laughing comedy. That comment about "the mitakon days," training the eye to perceive missed focus of the ear killed me! Total image of a Shaolin temple in some mountain village, Kasey in a saffron robe kneeling among a row of acolytes, each with a line of lenses before them with increasing toneh ... the final the mitakon ...
Dude your reviews are awesome! Your unique style and sense of humor are super entertaining. Never mind the haters! The only reason you’re getting hate and relatively low views is because your content demands a certain (high) level of intellectual capability. Love your videos ❤️
Your channel is actually goated man, keep on doing your stuff
I look forward for every video you put out, very entertaining. I don’t shoot much video unless it’s on a tripod and love my XT3 that’s good enough for my photography.
I enjoy your reviews so much that I watch reviews for cameras and lenses that I don't own and will never own, but I watch anyway.
great insight, especially about the new processor. i'll be sure to follow the numbers in the pursuit of the perfect camera like you describe we should
Great review channel 👍.when out & about in town..when will you compair the xiaomi Leica 1" camera..your reveiws are different...you point out the good & bad..thats great
When it comes to this channel, those who don't get it just don't get it.
It's not even about the gear🌸🐻❄
Thanks for all the sweet content, keep it coming:)
There is something worse that specsheet reading reviewers. The trade show style videos where someone interviews a sales executive holding a product and mentioning random specsheet information. Manufacturers and distributors that live in the dark ages still do this.
So happy I stumbled upon your videos - entertaining and informative. I hope to cross paths with you in trails of the Don Valley some day so we can awkwardly chat for a few minutes.
Me (and I'm sure) many others, watch your videos precisely because they're different, and quite awesome I must say 👏🏻
And the internet is a baffling place...
Nobody walks into a fruit store and starts saying out loud "the way you pile up the melons is stupid", walk a few steps, stop again and say out loud "where are all the microwaves? That's what everyone needs right now, not melons!". And then they leave the store, most people inside just puzzled, they turn around at the door and scream "thumbs down!".
I enjoy your insight and delivery, thank you :)
Glad I'm not a vlogger. My most popular videos were shot 8 - 9 years ago with either my Nikon D800 or GoPro 2 or both. No one cares that it wasn't 100k at 12 million frames per second.
I just watched several videos on the new GoPro 11 and they all sounded just like what you posted about the Fuji. Looking forward to your review of the two new GoPros.
This is the first time I have seen your content, I don't own a camera, I'm not shopping for one, AND I just subscribed
I see many comments saying they started watching you for the comedy without caring for the camera stuff. Not my case. The thing is that I wanted to start vlogging and find the proper tool, and you took me there and got me what I wanted. You really gave me all the info that I wanted before making the purchase. And I did not regret my camera choice. Thanks. I think you also influence youtubers for the good, a good example is that 10 youtuber commandments video. Im drunk. Guess this is better than texting my ex. Thanks again.
Mate your videos are amazing. I honestly thought you had millions of subscribers. Love your humour.
No photo, video enthusiast benefits from TH-cam videos if the TH-camr only praises the product because of the affiliate links. Honest and practical information is what we want. As well as information about what is not good about the products. - Thank you for the information you bring across.

Looking at that ProRes footage the blacks look really dark and the brights seem to clip faster than the other footage
Which makes me wonder
Ive been using sony for years, recording externally to atomos for prores
There is a quirk when using that combo where the external prores footage has messed up contrast/saturation so the brights blow out and the dark get crushed when compared to the non-prores footage
The issue is the prores doesnt save metadata to tell the editing software whether its a full or limited data signal
In davinci Resolve i have to right click the footage>clip attributes>data levels 'full' to restore the prores to normal
I wonder if the fuji has this same issue when recording to prores internally
What an absolute banger. 😆
That compliment sandwich bit was pure gold.
I feel you on selling fuji gear: I've waited a good 2 month before to be able to sell my fuji xt30 to a photographer. One of the best lightweight camera for photography, in perfect condition, perfect price (700euros with the kit lens), and still have to wait two month. Good luck on that! :)
Took me 2 months to sell my X-T3, and had to deal with 2 scammers to boot. Also, I appreciate what you do on your channel. I can care less about reviews or wildlife, I’m here for a good laugh.
I love this channel..my daughter also became a fan of kasey..we appreciate your hard work you put into your videos..ignore those haters and please comtinue doing what you do so well..
Would love to see your opinion on the new colour science aka puke yellows in greens in the a7iv, maybe adan camera could borrow you?
My favorite youtuber by far, keep up the great work and content
In ye old days of the quality of film/negative the standard was 14 lines per millimetre to be regarded as the quality threshold, So I've been conscience of how many don't know about quality or care x.
Ignore those haters. I come here to find out the straight goods on what’s trash and what isn’t. Keep it up!
I loved today's lighting. So warm and natural.
DPReview just posted an XH-2S vs. GH6 video. This was great - I haven't laughed this hard in a while. You are the king of TH-cam camera comedy with engaging content.
your show is the best! I hate those guys that read the spec sheets. They are a generic waste of time. You have an opinion! That is what we need! Thank you
Not sure who complains about your videos. but I enjoy your videos. Always looking forward for the next!
No no no no. Love your review style! It is spectacular. You and Gerald are my goto for photo gear! Keep up the spectacular work.
The great thing thats sets people like you and Markuspix apart is that you don't have pink and purple backgrounds. Every damn video that I see has pink and purple backgrounds and it drives me nuts. Like a clone army. Your originality and humour is what makes you different. Keep going!
There are other applications the 422 high bit rate would make sense, but in day to day use of a vlogger, I don't see any difference. I like your real world reviews
You are not stupid , far from it . Very clever and very entertaining 👏. Your sense of humor makes it interesting as well as educational.
The only people who We are impressing are other picky users. The ‘every day’ people could care less about shadow details or slight softness of the corners. My followers don’t look at my photos and say “You probably captured this image with a $2,500 lens.” I’ve had other photographers get upset as I tell them my photos come from Nikon Z5 when they’re expecting me to say something like a Nikon Z7 II or Sony A7 VI. We are too worried about what other users think rather than focusing on what a customer wants. Not to mention too worried about what a TH-camr thinks about their camera. OH MY GOD!!! HE’S TALKING SHIT ABOUT MY CAMERA!!! 🙄😒
As always… great content. Thank you
8:42 I'm sorry but as a lowley peasant asp-c user. I would like a full frame one day.
You provide a unique blend of info-humor with a generous portion of calling out fanboy fanaticism and brand loyalty.
It’s painfully obvious that you’ve updated your a7siii to the new firmware because it now has a yellow tint. I have to color grade the hell out of everything now. No more straight out of camera footage from now on. Not unless I want everyone and everything to look like the baby sun from teletubbies.
Thanks Sony for adopting you’re own crippling system for your flagship cameras.
I swear I’m thinking of switching to the a1. That way Sony will quit screwing up my camera to make it worse than the fx3 so people can feel good about spending the extra 500 bucks.
End of rant. Until next time
QUESTION: who would win in a mud wrestling match: camera conspiracies vs fototripper?
I might have bet on kasey, but the slippery mud evens out strength advantage. 😳
Hate to break it to you Kasey, but the reason why no one wants your XH2S is because you're selling it for the same price that people can buy it brand new. $3,300 CAD is $2500 USD. And $2500 USD is what the XH2S sells for brand new. Although I'd definitely trust to buy it from you over other used sellers, and it's obviously practically unused. Maybe throw in a Fuji lens you don't need for a good deal if you have one and that might help sell it. Some people just want turn key, where they don't need to worry about searching for a separate lens, they just want to get into the Fuji system and start shooting out of the box as long as it's a decent usable lens.
I think the real problem with people buying such a new camera used, is that they might fear the owner is selling it because they did something to it, like dropped it on accident and then realized "Oh crap I just messed up my brand new camera! Here let me sell it real quick so I don't have to eat this expensive loss". Or they'll think "Well it's brand new and this guy is selling it, he clearly doesn't like it, so there has to be something he doesn't like about it". And well you did make a video trashing it, so if they watch your video on it, then they might not want it lol.
Also the pictures you used for the listing aren't great. They look like you just quickly snapped a couple random shots with your phone. You should do every angle in studio quality shots so that the camera looks immaculate.
Here's an idea...maybe even offer an autograph with gear you sell. Like some kind of fancy sturdy sticker badge made (that can be removed without issue, or separately that can be placed by the buyer if they choose) that goes on the body somewhere prominent but innocuous that doesn't interfere with the usage, with a fancy autograph of your name and/or the channel name on it that, like black with gray marker. Doesn't have to be hand signed, could be printed or engraved. But just something a person could show off and say "See I got this from the camera conspiracies guy!".
You could order up a bunch of those for very cheap, to put on or include with gear you sell. Or even make it as simple as made with a sturdy label printer, that way it could even be stuck to lenses. I could imagine like a sturdy black label with some beveled white writing that just simply says "CAMERA CONSPIRACIES", using something like the X-files typewriter font, maybe even with a picture of the channel icon on it.
You could even joke around and add a small 2x3 or 4x6 portrait of you hand signed with something like "Kasey loves you". Just a whole little fun package of goodies to go with the gear for the buyer. Would cost almost nothing, but add unique value. So you can add all 3 in a separate little bag put into the box. A little engraved metal sticker badge of the channel name and/or icon, a beveled font label with channel name, and a hand signed autographed portrait.
It's $3616 CAD new here, American prices don't tell you anything because you obviously have to import it into the country for a customs fee.
@@cameraconspiracies That's true. But a lot of people like to get around the customs fee, so they'll just drive over and back without saying a thing. Also keep in mind that the warranty only applies to the original buyer. This is explicitly stated in Fuji's warranty policy. So even if someone were to buy your camera, it technically comes with zero warranty. So if anything happens to it that would be covered under warranty, they're screwed. At that point, paying even a bit more for the peace of mind would not be unreasonable to most people.
I literally unalived when he went full avatar. 💀💀💀
The audio was so realistic, I thought the ambulance was outside my door....in NYC the sound of ambulances is common!
The video quality in cameras has peaked for the most part over the past few years. You really can't go wrong with most modern hybrid cameras. Even the 8bit codecs are so robust you would struggle to find the difference in most respects in a project timeline.
10bit really does improve dynamic range though, you can't really see it in a studio but if you vlogg outside it makes a big difference
@@JetBen555 absolutely I would prefer 10 and 12 bit color but given proper exposure and WB are accurate most 8bit codecs will easily mix in most projects. From what I’ve seen 8bit is just less forgiving.
As with RAW vs jpeg, the quality difference becomes apparent only when you start grading.
@@JetBen555 10bit literally does not change the dynamic range what so ever. It's just the gradients between the shades. 10-bit is useful when recording in heavy logarithmic formats so you don't get banding. That's it.
@@MarkusFinholt You're wrong.
There is a significant difference!
I want you to feel devastated, Lol.
Kidding, I think your videos are fun to watch.
I appreciate your videos for all of the thigns I can't find from the spec sheet.
Like I can read. Are the reviewers aware of that? Also your videos are also just hilarious to watch.
As frustrating as your videos can sometimes be from user error, I do really like and appreciate them because you really test them hard on their practicality. And your humour really makes you stand out. Since you stopped being vegan you’ve been more relaxed and funny again, somehow you were more frustrated and angry as a vegan.
Your side-by-side comparisons in real-world scenarios show us the real differences in performance between gear.
Keep doing what you're doing and let trolls be trolls. There are always going to be people telling you that they know better than you, because they know the specs and codecs from reading about it.
I happened to start this video on a tuned 4K home theater setup and there was a difference in the codec quality
Noticeably better dynamic range and more detail, would I have noticed without side-by-side comparison? Absolutely not
its interesting looks like the shadow detail is a bit better on the 10 bit file
You crack me up! 🤪 I will buy a tee shirt soon😳
Keep doing what you’re doing bro…ignore the TROLLS….love the channel love the humour.
3:41 I want to see a full video of you trying out different color grading trends
🎵all i want is the perfect camera🎵
