Thanks for this. I've been watching a ton of videos on YT and I've been seeing that lighting is the common denominator. I'll definitely check that brand out. Do you have any recommended pages or videos yourself?

EDIT: I've had my eye on the Fujifilm X-H2S, but I told myself I need faith over a few things first, and to get the basics down regarding exposure, lighting, etc, before I even think about making that type of purchase.

Just make sure you get good glass. Camera bodies are interchangeable. Your investing in the mount system so when you upgrade bodies the glass will still be valid.

I’m on Sony, and have an older used crop sensor body and a $4000 high MP body and use the same 3 sigma lenses on both

Even though we shot this outside we still light the speakers. We used 2 Nanlite 720 lights and shot through 8x8 diffusion.


This one is still running on TV


A little camera promo we shoot of the rig we use everyday.

@GoldenGlove @MikelArteta @CashmereThoughts and any other brehs with knowledge

I got my now 14 yo niece a Polaroid Now camera a couple years back, she really took to it. Always snapping up during family events (if she has enough film....Polaroid runnin a racket with them prices ). She even bought additional accessories/filters with her allowance.






Was gonna wait til next year to buy her a 'legit' starter camera, but we got a family trip coming up this summer, so thought I might as well cop it before that.


1. What's a good camera that: is light enough for her to travel with.....carry around neck or her backpack/slingpack? and type of camera or lens that will do well capturing regular city shyt like Madrid, but also outdoorsy/hiking type shots thru the Alps?


Alternatively, I was thinking of maybe just getting her a point and shoot, super light weight camera and just getting her a better one at some point down the line.




2. Are yall self taught? If so, can yall drop some basic beginner videos.
