Is the Insta360 X4 worth it for "normal" people? First Impressions!
The Insta360 X4 was just released and I seen a bunch of really awesome footage from it! However, as a "normal" guy who doesn't do adventurous stuff like skydiving, cliff jumping, and crazy stunts, is it even worth it to purchase? Especially since the price is more than other action cameras?
I had the Insta360 One R that was released in 2020 and one of the main issues is the video quality. It just doesn't look that great no matter what settings I used. That is why I was really excited to try out the 8K from the X4!
This video is not sponsored, I bought the X4 with my own money to test out and see if it lives up to the hype. Let's find out!

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - 3 Months Later!
Просмотров 29 тыс.2 месяца назад
It's been roughly 3 months since the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was announced. As a photographer, what differentiates flagships from one another is really the camera system. And since this is the top of the line flagship from Samsung, it should have the best cameras right? Well it's not that simple. Especially since they removed the 10X lens from the S23 Ultra and "upgraded" to a 5X lens this yea...

Best camera settings for Samsung Galaxy zFlip & zFold
Просмотров 8 тыс.6 месяцев назад
If you are paying $1000 or even close to $2000 for a new phone, don't you want the best cameras? Samsung has a few flagship options with the Galaxy S23 Ultra along with the zFold and zFlip foldables. While they all sell for flagship prices, not all of them have flagship cameras. Of course the form factor of the zFlip and zFold devices outweigh the camera setbacks, but just how bad are those cam...
Pixel 8 Pro - Photographer's Review
Просмотров 57 тыс.6 месяцев назад
The Google Pixel 8 Pro probably has the best cameras of any Android smartphone out right now. The RAW files paired with the 50mp mode from all 3 cameras produce photos that look like they were shot from a real camera. However, it's not perfect and there are still some critical drawbacks that prevent it from being perfect. Watch the full video for some street and travel POV footage, as well as s...
Google Pixel 8 Pro - Well Rounded!
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.8 месяцев назад
The Google Pixel 8 Pro was just released and it's quickly becoming my favorite pixel to date. Objectively, is an improvement in nearly every aspect from the previous generation from things like the display, speakers, and of course the cameras. This is by no means a full review since I only had the phone for a few weeks and it's not nearly enough time to test out the device thoroughly. However i...

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - Best Camera Settings

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is probably the best Android smartphone out right now. However, the camera has been hit or miss with a ton of options. A lot of the settings are hidden so it's even harder to find. In this video, I will go over all of the camera settings to show you the optimal setup to take amazing photos. There will be test shots showing the difference between the quick shutter op...

I shot my wedding with the Pixel 7 Pro

So I recently got married and decided to create my own wedding film using only the Pixel 7 Pro! I passed my phone around during the wedding and asked guests to take random clips for me. This was just a fun experiment to create a more raw and authentic highlight video instead of the typical overly produced video you get from a videographer.

Okay, so what smartphone is your preferred one for photography? Thanks!.
Awesome
I don't use any photo apps for images because they have a very digital effect and produce overly sharp images. Instead, I capture a prof video as needed and then use the capture button located at the bottom left to save a jpg from it. Trust me, I have achieved better results for images this way than with the photo modes. Does anyone else use the camera this way?
The raw image from the Pixel 7 pro is only 12mp the software does all the work. It is nice overall but still prefer a proper camera.
Bru i dont no why im crying😅
Would you recommend it to use it as a trip cellphone for vacation??
Great job man you earned my sub this is the first video i see of you!
Wow thank you for sharing this beautiful wedding and showing us how the phone works in sentimental times
I recently ordered my new S24 ultra and it's great but after only a couple mins of using it, it heats up. Anybody else has this problem?
Camera assistant app - is it available in samsung store now?
You did so good! I can't wait until the pixel 9 comes out.
Bạn sử dụng lens gì?
Pixel 6 and 7 pro had amazing cameras the only complaint I had was that if the sun was extremely bright I felt that the pixel did worse . I think the pixel does good around the morning ,evening and at night when taking a photo but taking photos on the afternoon where the sun was really bright it did poorly in my opinion.
So I just got my first A6000 and this gave me two things I wanted to change. The "auto review" I wanted to remove, and I also didn't want that autofocus light helper thing. So that was great!
#TeamPixel
THANK YOUU. I've been really trying to figure out how to take better photos of my flip4 and this helped
I know you posted this vid a long time ago, but the algorithm sent me here. I really like the message you conveyed about desire, creativity, and eye over gear and honestly the pics I like the most in this montage are some of your pixel 6 pics. I'm glad you had that interaction with that guy and hopefully he sees/saw your video and was inspired.
Do you prefer s20 series, s21 series, or Google Pixel 6 series for photography and daily use?
0:20 and 0:31 did you take that photos with the google pixel or what camera did you use? i'd love to take that kind of vintage pictures, but i don't know much about cameras
why use auto mode instead of pro mode?
0:28 the music choice's so banger, i haddd to subscribe
Bought S23U with 1TB for 750. No need to the 24u
Bro is literally the chosen one of tech youtubers
Hello. How do manually rotate the lense so I can focus on products and blur them when filming?
Finally someone addressed the portrait mode that you can adjust the bokeh afterwarss just like in iPhone, all the video said the bokeh effect was strong and they didn't like it
I have this lens, this is the best ultrawide I have used, I stopped using the 16-35 after I got it.
What is your preset?
If you take in pro mode and raw, you can change exposure in post
super exited to start editing can't wait to learn form your channel
Camera assistant no longer available
what do you mean? It works. You need to install it from from galaxy store, not playstore
How is the X4s still single lense camera mode at night vs say an average cellphone photo at night? Ive just got my X4 and my wife is so disappointed with the photo quality at night, making her look darker, less clear, she says she prefers her phone😢. Am I missing something key?
Lot of photos looked better without editing. Good review though.
i found this RUclipsr is soo cool its rare to find person want to discuss an idea respect 🙏
This is a good review straight to the test photos and videos. I dont like a review when they do is just talk and talk. I like more images and videos samples.
should i buy pixel 6 or pixel 5a
capture mode is no more available in 6.1 update. When i click photo in 200 Mega Pixel and check the details it shows me 150 Mega Pixel in details, why ?? this is happening in 50 and 12 MP also.
hey, i bought the s23 ultra phantom black, but i realize that my phone had slight violet color on the aluminium frame anyone have this color?
Loved this video, it was engaging, interesting, inspirational, and informative. Can't fault it, thank you
You should review the Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Vivo X100 Pro. They are extreme contenders in the camera category. They have global variants which also suits your target audience. Sounds like some of your keen subscribers could get together and send you phones for review, accelerate your channel growth!

Thanks! I am happy I purchased this phone. Blessings in your marriage.
May I ask a question that's not intended to be disrespectful or undermine the AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY on your site, this tutorial, least of all your talent and photographic artistic prowess (SOME AMAZING PORTRAIT COMPOSITIONS, and post production- dialing in your photographic capture to bring to life the vision you see with the sum of all instinctual, command of fundamentals all the way to the edge of what's possible. The LR Presets are Great, too) So, also being a photographer/videographer > I see the talent so I checked nearly everything I could find of you work. My question came to me way after already respecting, admiring, with a sprinkle of jelly > while being super glad for your success in achieving what I may only live to strive towards (thank you, btw for even sharing your techniques and special sauces that make your photog, authentically YOURS (we all have inspirational heros we begin our more advanced stages emulating - then as we grow those works we adore become but a foundational marker we then make wholly OURS! ---> Can you share with me the colors on your wall behind you as well as the complimentary color of the floating shelf on same wall and even the carpet!? This is my dream color pallet (I'd probably not be able to resist a red accent even if a pinstripe or corner LoL) [Perhaps you might even have the color values of a custom mixed paint color or even just the paint mfr/product line names of those colors???? I horrible at color theory and my OCD makes it impossible to select colors - and when I do, I have a real struggle with remorse or feelings I'm never getting things 'right enough'.. Heck, I've had a $50k home owners insurance claim on my home from hail and wind damage and am so afraid the colors will not be tolerable. IF I let loose and go for something OUTSTANDING. While also dreading the WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN, if capitulating to normal sure thing basic [had I not had all these bummer hangups I've battled since being a little kid!] So, if you could assist at all, I'd be more grateful than you could probably imagine LoL. Keep doing you - cause it and you are GREAT. GRATEFUL AND I AM, JD md
Why I can't find the CAPTURE SPEED mode @ the camera assistant? Please assist, thanks
yes, it is gone after update. When I got my phone it was there. But when I did update of everything (oneui to 6.1) it's gone. I don't know now if intelligent optimization setting (maximum, medium, minimum) is related to capture speed
This video has made me have no regrets in purchasing my S23 Ultra last month. Thanks for sharing. Will re-watch again.
Your review is great, but your image quality and sound quality is top-notch Thanks for the attention to detail
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching
1) Hi how is the still photos from pixel compare to I phone. I am planning to buy but still confused. I am looking for video and still photos. 2) How the still photo either in day and night from pixel compare to iPhone?
do you have the X3 too, can you tell, if the difference is worth the extra money, because I have the X3
Sorry no I only have the One R but if the x3 is doing everything you want, maybe hold off for a sale or wait till the 6 to see if there is bigger differences
Did you took photos in auto mode?
Or did you use auto mode in the night?
Yeah mostly auto mode with some adjustments to the exposure slider. And some manual controls but not a ton
Am I right in saying there is no way to permanently lower the exposure in a setting?
Thanks Alex, very informative. I'm thinking of getting one and your video helped me decide. Yes, this will be my next gadget.
Awesome to hear! Hope like it
I used X2 and X3 for the past two years. Pros - Maximizes amount of video sources. Cons - extra work on editing
The editing is definitely kind of strange for reframing 360 but once you get used to it I think the process is quick enough
