What Camera Kit Could You Get for JUST £1,000? This is What We Got 

Can't beat a bit of German-engineered plastic.

You could get a elmarit 2.5 lense for that ^^ Great lense.

😅😅😅😅

Just buy a Fuji.

@@Casskario yeah I’m beginning to regret my Leica at this point. LOL

Hardout, DRTV with Kai and Lok was fab. . . I invested in many a Nikon lens after Kai's brilliant reviews. I always wondered weather Kai and Lok are a little more than co presenters . . . . . If you get my drift.

So many people really don't know the true god fathers of RU-vid photgaphy channels 😂😭

I miss those days :(. Hong Kong times

It does. I keep buying used cameras because there's so many good cameras that aren't brand new.

Hello kai, i will love if I had the nikon 50mm lens. 😊

@@KaiManWong This video was really lame Kai, I challenge you to do better.

@@eugenequarshie7637 Lots of tem at kamera-express with ext nl

😎

Digital Rev TV days 🥺

Watch out when flying budget airlines, I've gone to try and book them before, and by the time they added on all the bells and whistles it was cheaper to fly with British Airways or Lufthansa.

Carry it/them round your neck until you're on the plane!

I grabbed a d800 years ago 40k shutter for next to nothing, brilliant cameras. Im no photographer but have produced some wicked shots, that sensor has so much room for crop. I love it with my sigma 1:1 105mm macro. The bug, flowers, water fun

I don't think I'll ever sell my 3100 even if I don't use Nikon as my main system. For only $100-150 it has been a solid camera for what it puts out has put out some amazing photos. I was sold on the camera by these guys really old review on DigitalRev

Pentax makes compact DSLR cameras, and budget options. Bit of a learning curve tho.

Nice! That's definitely a good deal - we know ;)

the old 35mm f1.4 is a great pair for that camera.

Xt3 / xt4 is such a beast both for video and stills. You can do street, travel or commercial portraits or even weddings with those cameras.

I love seeing Lok here in the UK. I loved his escape story. Welcome to the UK Lok!

The D3000! I used to have that with the 35mm 1.8. That ccd sensor was magic.

@@crazykenbei Same here. Still rocking my D3000. Going to use it till it breaks

@@victorlim5077 when I bought mine, it came with the 35-80mm f4 D lens from 1998. But, it only cost me £117 in 2015 👍

@@crazykenbei yes, it still is and still going strong 👍

Former owner of D300. Chonky beast with excellent grip and ovf.

They are the reason I picked up my first ever camera, Nikon D300, now on Fujifilm X100S. All used of course.

@@Indrakusuma_a I switched from canon 40d to Fuji xt20. I was amazed how great it is and got it for something about 300£ with Xc16-50 lens which amazed me how great plastic Fuji lens can be 😮. There’s no need to have always new camera especially when monthly salaries in our country are not that great. Keep in mind that some guys are still shooting with canon 10d. Have fun

@@jerronimo6874 Used is definitely the way to go to enjoy photography. Lots of options available to us. Of course nothing wrong with buying new for those who can afford it, without them we won't have those options in the first place ;D

That's what I like about Kai and Lok. Instead of a dry technical review or a pushy product ad, their reviews are like hanging out with a couple of friends.

Frames cracking?

I would still get a Z5. IBIS gives you sharper images, higher resolution is only relevant on tripods or with flash (or very bright sunny day) without IBIS or VR support. F-mount glass isn't as great as Z-mount lenses either. The newer 24-120mm f/4 Z beats all the F-mount zooms of similar focal length.

@@shang-hsienyang1284 You would rather have an amateur Z5 over a D810? Haha well, if you're not a professional I'm sure Z5 will do you fine. :)

@@fuglstad_explores I know these two cameras well enough to know that the D810 is an inferior camera in most regards. Z mount lenses is superior than F mount lenses. What's the point of higher resolution when the lens sharpness is inferior? And when you stop down to get more sharpness, the lack of IBIS is going to rob away any benefit of the higher resolution. Z5 also offers focus bracketing, which is extremely critical to getting everything tack sharp. Most lens sharpness peak at f/4 or f/5.6, which often results in insufficient DoF, and reliable focus bracketing is very useful. D810's heavier weight and shutter shock also demamds heavier tripod. On most travel tripods the Z5 with electronic shutter provides extremely stable operation. Z5 also provide symmetrical card slots, better mobile connectivity, Canon EF and Sony E mount lens support via adapters, accurate eye-AF for portraits even at f/1.2 without focus shift. Anyone who chooses the D810 over the Z5 clearly does not know very well how these cameras perform.

@@simon_patterson Brilliant camera's. I'm 280k on shutter now (bought at 40K), dropped and wet multiple occasions, dust in view finder, still cranks

Is it now? Very interesting.......

They were quite the team weren't they. The video where they all switched jobs was charming.

Film and the wet process after it are for duds who haven't got a clue how dirty and time consuming it is. I did it for decades and will NEVER return to any wet B/W process. Wet colour is completely impossible (at home). Do a websearch for "So entwickeln Sie einen S/W-Film selbst" to see how it works. Keep in mind that decent equipment does not exist anymore.

I've been inside a Concorde, I always expected they would be bigger and more modern inside. Going inside I can see why they might have wanted to mothball them in comparison with modern jets. 🤣

@@aaronmoore3050 Thanks a lot. Happy shooting to you too.

Just bought a 5d mark IV. Why ? Image quality is better than most mirrorless, cheaper than a R5, lenses are now very cheap, battery life is great, and you avoid the price and weight of the adapter should you have any EF lens.

For Landscape and Street I still like dslr caemras. Even a canon 6d is dirt cheap nowadays and will produce great results with the right ef lens. But for sport/people/portrait. I want somehow modern eye AF :)

How does the D800 compare with the Fuji cameras you have?

@@JB_inks Very well, shooting the D800 at ISO 800 there is very little noise (I couldn't actually see any) which is on par with the more modern X-T2/T3/T4. The dynamic range is also very good, on par with Fuji & Sony ( Nikon cameras tend to have very good dynamic range ), I've found Canon cameras to be very noisy & muddy when you try to pull out the shadows unlike Nikon/Fuji & Sony. I recently picked up a Nikon D800E with under 5200 shutter actuations (yes that is right) for under £500!

shit camera. A7 is a better camera. sell it get the A7, never look back..

D810's are great! And it brings back some good DR-memories!!

Thanks so much! We do love to hear when customer pick up super good deals

I use the 5d mii with the cheap meike 85 1.8, surprisingly sharp for the price. Just very slow and noisy autofocus. Also a few rokinon f1.4 manual focus lens. Love the quality.

Canon make paperweights. Nikon make camera's.

I was thinking that too. Canon vs Nikon color is the decision.

Yes please!

True, but not perfect. They can't autofocus old screwdrive lenses, which are much cheaper. I am a DSLR shooter for life tho, so take that with a grain of salt.

I bought a 135L and 200 2.8 Mark II from MPB. Really good prices.

I have a D7100 and a mirrorless GX9 and the GX9 is always dead when I need to use it. Have to have a handful of batteries with me if I want to shoot all day. The D7100 can last all day on one battery.

The first DSLR I bought was the D3300, and I still have it. Although I have bought other Nikons since then. I've never had a battery problem with my mirrorless camera.

Another d3300 owner here. It was my first camera and I still have it. Still had the most fun shooting on it and will probably pull it out once more.

Why you lucky jammy b@$%@&d !

You are now a Pentaxian. Live long, and prosper.

@@numbersix8919 my dad is collector of Pentax so I was one anyway

@@ronbokje6213 Hail the Pentaxians!

I was going to post that. Or you can get an X-T30 plus two lenses. Plus the Fuji f2 primes are a steal.

75mm wide-ish?

@@NullStaticVoid wider compared to standard 85 or 135 portrait lenses.

If you feel like treating yourself; those battery doors are pretty cheap if they're similar to D700 ones, I think mine was under a tenner.

@@MrSimonj1970 The actual door was fine. it just needed the rubber grip replacing, which was also pretty cheap.
