Whether you're thinking about getting your first camera, or like me, you're interested in having a small secondary camera, this video is worthwhile viewing!
I've wanted a small, cheaper camera that I can pretty much always have on my person. I've been debating the purchase of one for a couple of years but have never pulled the trigger; I couldn't quite settle on what I wanted. This video has made a significant dent in my resolve.
Mattias Burling is one of the YouTubers I subscribe to that I never hesitate to click. There's no attention grabbing music, dizzying transitions, or overly ostentatious presenting; it's just him snapping great images on lesser seen cameras. It's the sort of quiet passion I love to watch with anything I'm interested in. Also, the test subject for a lot of his cameras is a cute dog.
The itch this video really caused to flare back up for me is, in a word, Leica. For years I would scoff at the brand as for wealthy posers — albeit an important part of photographic history — but I kept softening to them. Then, I met with Leica in London to have a play with some of their camera, went to a few of their exhibitions, and I started to get it. A decent explanation of how I feel is a quote from Sean Molin's review of the very camera in this video: Leica T.
If you want the best bang for the buck in a camera, look elsewhere. You can get better camera tech for much less money. There's no argument. But the reason I'm even talking about this hunk of aluminum at all today, is because the Leica T is really truly a special machine
I've never been much of a pixel peeper, which admittedly can leave me exposed to whimsy when it comes to cameras, but Leicas are almost inexplicably enjoyable to use. I've already typed that Leica T model into a few second-hand sites. Danger.
What do you think is the best affordable, smaller camera?
No video linked?
so.... Your article about the top 5 affordable smaller cameras does not have a list of the top 5 smaller affordable cameras? I'm so confused
Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RynV2gI_K-g
you da man
ummmmmmmm......
Sony rx100.... Usability is mediocre sadly, but the results are remarkable. The m2 (with hotshoe) or M3 are grea best value
Damn. That's what killed the original Fuji X100 for me. The images were awesome but everything about the camera was slow and so slow to respond to input it made it unusable.
"What do you think is the best affordable, smaller camera?"
I love my X-E2, and with the 27 pancake it's about the size as a x100. Perfect for walking around. The tiltable flash has come in handy a few times.
That gets vote ooo... I had an m1 with the pancake. Greatcombo. E2 really really nice
First, the article has fuck all to do with the headline or video. It's whack.
Secondly, Leica users can never tell you why it's special, just that it's special. They need to jerk themselves off to justify why they paid so much for a camera.
