In this episode, I’m sitting down in person with the legendary Matti Sulanto for a candid, unfiltered chat all about gear, cameras, and shooting in the real world. We dive into everything from the classic Sony vs. Lumix debate and shooting YouTube videos with pocket cams, to surviving extreme sub-zero winter shoots in Finland and dusting off vintage 110mm film cameras. We also take a close look at the rise of modern third-party lenses—brands like Viltrox and 7Artisans—and discuss whether budget glass is finally rivaling the expensive first-party giants. Grab a coffee, settle in, and join our conversation!

In this podcast I talk about the decision making that went into picking a new hybrid camera for my photographic and video work. Both the Sony A7 V and Sony FX2 are both great hybrid cameras even though one is build primarily for video work. This video will break down what I traded in, why I went for the camera I picked, and what I hope to achieve! Subscribe on YouTube for the video version of this podcast.

In this episode, I’m joined by April from the @cameranewb3878 YouTube channel for a deep dive into some of the most debated topics in the photography world.

In this episode, David Altizer joins the show to break down the shifting landscape of the camera industry and the evolving nature of YouTube content creation. We dive deep into the technical trade-offs between full-frame systems like the Lumix S9 and the enduring utility of Micro Four Thirds classics like the GH5 and the 12-35mm f/2.8 lens. Beyond the gear, we reflect on how creators like Casey Neistat and Potato Jet have influenced the "gear cycle" and discuss why the trend toward cinematic camera reviews might be distancing creators from the simple, authentic storytelling that modern audiences crave. From analyzing Panasonic’s journey with PDAF to exploring the gear essentials that actually matter for growth, this conversation serves as a comprehensive look at where the creator space is headed next.

his video features a discussion with Chelsea Northrup Mercado regarding the current state of the photography industry and the logistics of professional camera reviews. The conversation covers the transition from traditional DSLR systems to modern mirrorless technology, specifically addressing the performance differences between first-party and third-party lenses in video applications. Technical segments provide an analysis of gear selection for wildlife photography, including the impact of sensor size and the utility of high-magnification telephoto lenses in field environments like safaris. The dialogue further examines the integration of artificial intelligence in post-production workflows and its effect on image authenticity. It outlines the operational aspects of tech journalism, such as brand-sponsored press trips, the management of review units, and the challenges of maintaining a long-form content archive. The session concludes with an evaluation of current hardware standards, including the Sony A7S III and various webcam configurations, alongside a discussion on anticipated developments in future camera releases.
