If you could chose for free but couldn't sell it... would you take a Leica Q3 or Fuji X100V?

@xbudixdharmax Год назад

Definitely Q3 😂😅

Leaving tasks to the last minute so the adrenaline kicks in is a classic ADHD characteristic. Creativity is too! It is a fascinating journey learning about how one’s mind works.

@dccoletrain Год назад

Great to hear from Kai. As a Fuji guy I hope he gets a X-S20 to play with. The original ZV-1 has built in ND it’s just not very effective.

@guidetheride2103 Год назад

That’s the beauty of L2, like it or loath it, it’s a great partnership, in my humble opinion, for anyone in this eco system. Add the L Mount Alliance, not Sigma in the Q range but with all of the L mount changeable lens lineups, happy days. This Q3 actually seems a good investment. I’d still need to sell or trade in some gear to be able to afford a Q3.

@Gael_AG 10 месяцев назад

36:10 totally agree the most important as a technical point of view is a good audio recording first . The photography can be terrible as long as the audio is good you are fine .

@Democratiser Месяц назад

Dave - You would love the TED presentation by Tim Urban ‘Inside the mind of a master procrastinator’. He doesn’t mention ADHD but all the hallmarks are there. Also, search for a photo Einstein’s desk at the time of his death! It might look familiar?

Zeiss ZX1 was an attempt to put Android in a camera, it even had lightroom built in, it was super mega expensive. Would really love to buy something like an RX1R iii or FujiFilm X-E4 or other small camera with Android built in and it just backs up to Google Photos or whatever automagically when it connects to wifi and super easy to upload to Instagram etc

@IsaacNYC212 Год назад

Basically Leica is the Apple of the camera world.

No its the Bentley of the car world. Apple is still affordable.

@tor2919 Год назад

Not really. Apple computers are similar in price to PCs with matching build. An iPhone doesn’t cost much more than a top Samsung model. Leica is in another price bracket entirely from other brands

@collodionpositive554 Год назад

I had a X100V then upgraded to an M-P then added a M11. Honestly before the Fuji I would have never considered a Leica. Think Kai has something with his theory

@umaraslam7731 Год назад

Man with the q3 being released, I wish sony would have made a successor the rx1r ii.

@discotechwreck Год назад

I’ve had an X100V for two years now but I’m seriously considering selling up for the Q3 (especially with the overinflated second hand prices of the Fujifilm)

@Classical416 Год назад

Problem is you still have to pay a lot of cash to get the Q3.

@discotechwreck Год назад

@@Classical416 True. The Q3 is a very compelling upgrade though

@Gael_AG 10 месяцев назад

39:30 well, just release a memory card with nano SIM card or e-sim chip to provide the service to any camera

@ChrisLRobinson Год назад

Cool talk. Rather than the k3 mono Pentax should have re-dropped the GR1 film body, 2023 edition. I own a q2 monochrom iso 6,400 to 50,000 it's unmatched for a AF point and shoot. If you don't shoot concerts, after 7pm street, or in an urban environment - even more so if you dont have many street lights, you may not see the benefits the tool provides. q3 mono is going to be crazy once the waitlists drops, 100%. And facts, I went GFX 50R to Leica and should have invested the money toward the Leica in the first place.

@GHPod Год назад

Love this comment. Great value here. So funny you agree with Kai on Fuji vs Leica. I’m torn on whether to get an M or the Q3 personally. (David)

@DA-lp4rh Год назад

Kai looks like a break dancer from the 80's. I like his track jacket better than the Q3 - the jacket is cheaper and will remain relevant longer than the Q3.

@niclightfoot4329 Год назад

I love Kai, one of the most knowledgeable and amusing reviewers I have come across. I love his YT videos. But, I can't see how he can say buy the Q3 in preference to the X100V. If I had unlimited budget, yes, I would go for the Q3. But the Q3 is five times the price of the X100V and offers little that is better for me. I'd prefer to have a Q3, I think it's a beautiful camera, and I love its simplicity. Whenever I hold my X100V I always wonder "why did they put command dials on it - a complication too far, I'd prefer simplicity". But, I've disabled the command dials and have a camera that is basically shutter speed and aperture control with great autofocus. I'd love a Q3, but financial logic dictates that I'm going to stick with the X100V. By-the-way, Fujifilm service is also stunning, I don't know about Leica, but Fujifilm repaired my X100V in a way that I cannot more highly compliment - I had my camera back in 10 days.

@joules531 Год назад

Kai is great, but people shouldn't be puzzled about the deficiencies of the new ZV1 - ii. Sony could make a perfect small camera, but that would hit sales of cameras further up the range. Better to buy sell a camera that has mass appeal initially, but whose deficiencies will become apparent after a few months of use, prompting the sale of yet another camera.

@victorcarmelo8606 Год назад

Would have liked a Visoflex instead of the flip LCD, they shot the aesthetics with this LCD not as lovely as the Q2. The USBc and other connectors could have been housed in the attached hand grip. Video is of no interest to me, I just use stills, everything else is great especially no constrains on low light. SO keeping my Q2.

@123johnthebaptist Год назад

You can’t just look at the stats on paper. Thats like looking at the 0-60 times on cars. It matters, but it’s not what makes it great. hold and use a Leica and you will see why they are so great.

“Looks sexy on your neck”. Lol, Leica is probably saying “pay Panasonic to design our camera and slap our logo on it”, “these clowns won’t know it as long as it look sexy on their neck…hehe”. As long as there are clowns in this planet, companies will make billions. 😝

@domTT Год назад

Leica Q3 can only be a dream camera for me, Sony on the other hand, is very uninspiring, putting in and taking out features, coming out with a pancake fixed lens then this wider lens. Totally money grabbing, lazy tactics disappointed.

@philipsutton8921 Год назад

Most guys finally grow up around 20 years old. They stop their flatulence jokes, avoid artificial fart noises under their armpits and have finally stopped giving each other 'wedgies'. Unfortunately for Kai, it has taken him 20 years longer to grow up. Now that he is forty years old, I can finally watch him and not think that I'm listening to my 13 year old nephew!

@gbwalther3198 Год назад

Hey, Kai, I finally did come up with a good reason to promote the Leica Q3. One can make better coins on affiliate sales than if one goes for a vintage Brownie on E-Bay! Right? As for me and my house. There is NO WAY that I would get a Lecia Q3 with my hard earned money. If u want to shoot a Leica, get a real Leica. A Real Leica shoots film, 35 mm film! Period. When I was at CalArts in the seventies,, I was able to check out Leica cameras/with lenses for class projects. Now that's real photography. Why Leica ever caved into this digital game beats me. As far as I'm concerned, these are plastic-metal toys & Leica makes a TON of money off them while laughing all the way to the Deutschesbundes Bankolla! If u want to shoot Leica, get a 35mm Leica camera that shoots real film. Then you'll know what photography is really about. 😎😎

I like when you crap on Sony but drool over leica. They used Sony sensors up until the last couple of cameras lol. They are rebadged Panasonic. I can't wait to spend that much money on a mediocre camera with a red badge. I'd rather have a s1r over any leica. Only thing leica has is glass in my book.
