  • What are your thoughts on the good old "does gear matter?" debate?
  • @bbartlomiej
    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.
  • I love this video so much!! The diagram was fantastic! Your videos are something I look forward to, Emily. Cheers!
  • Because of you I bought em EM5 for $100 and I love it so much. You’re making the world a better place! Thank you.
  • 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.

    This was an absolutely wonderful video presentation, and one that I think that we all needed to hear. Your viewpoint is right on point 😊
  • @mongoose9594
    What an extremely insightful vlog! You’re so right Emily, idea first, camera second. And it’s great to see you back too 👍
  • @Elifarnhill
    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
  • @NerderousRage
    Thanks to folks like you and a few others here I’ve fallen in love with my “old” gear again.
  • @artyshefartsy
    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
  • @yaupie
    Thanks for introducing the MagFilter. It's an interesting and useful accessory for small compact cameras.

    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 😊 Keep up the great work, you make it all fun and interesting.

    What a beautiful topic. So so good as usual!

    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). 🤗
