What are your thoughts on the good old "does gear matter?" debate?
-
I can't stress enough how important this video is. It is crazy out there with any of recent camera premieres. Suddenly nobody neither knows how nor can take any pictures unless they have the latest model. Then you see their "portfolio" and you realize they're tech geeks, not photographers.

Griffin Hammond (OG M43rd-er) gave some of the best gear advice back when he was Podcasting. He said (paraphrase) "Don't upgrade a camera until your current one cannot do what you want to do creatively." That means you (your ideas) have to outpace your gear, before you get new gear. Same concept, different way of putting it.

Legend - hope the trip is fab it sounds sick!

Thank you. Seriously. I just emptied my MPB cart and I'm looking into booking a trip to a distant land. You're absolutely correct, capturing cool moments are much more rewarding than gear. Thanks again for being the voice of reason.

One of your best Emily! I really enjoyed that x
-
This was an absolutely wonderful video presentation, and one that I think that we all needed to hear. Your viewpoint is right on point š
-
What an extremely insightful vlog! Youāre so right Emily, idea first, camera second. And itās great to see you back too š
-
Love this Emily and some great photos too!
-
Fantastic video as always Emily! That masking tape on the flash is a great idea that I'll have to try on my little GF3
-
Thanks to folks like you and a few others here Iāve fallen in love with my āoldā gear again.
-
I love this, you're such a good teacher! I love learning these life lessons from you and it inspires me to just get out there and shoot
-
Thanks for introducing the MagFilter. It's an interesting and useful accessory for small compact cameras.
-
Gosh! This was exactly what I needed. Thanks so very much!

Hi lovely x That is so refreshing to hear. I do have a lot of cameras (too many tbh, compacts, 4/3rds, DSLRs cropped and full frame) but I always tend to take a small compact with me most of the time, an Olympus XZ-1 for pictures, not video. Though, as a micro 4/3rds nerd too, I love my Olympus E-M10 MK 5 with the fixed 14mm š Keep up the great work, you make it all fun and interesting.

What a beautiful topic. So so good as usual!

As long as you happy what you put out is enoughā¤

The LX10 is my one and only camera since 2021 (except for my phone, of course). It's brilliant. The sharp and bright lens, the "big" sensor with its surprisingly good dynamic range, the small size, the intuitive controls and of course the great image quality (especially in RAW). š¤
