Gear doesn't make you a better photographer is what normies mean when they say this.

However better gear will result in higher quality photos in terms of color and sharpness.

Gearfags who pretend not to be.

Rich ones.

Remember that photography youtube channels only make money in 2 ways.
1: Selling shit directly. Presets, Books, Videos Courses, T-shirts, Apps...
2: Getting paid (directly and indirectly) by camera companies to shill their stuff.

There are exceptions, such as Thomas Heaton.
Shilling has been reduced to saying Squarespace when the video starts, and that's it.

I'm a hobbyist and I've spent like £2k on my camera and lenses.
That said I got inheritance so I bought them because I know i'll use them well into the future.

Happy for you anon, photography is a great hobby. I do think that that is quite unobtainable for most people though.

fyi the photography industry is almost entirely sustained by rich hobbyists and always has been

poorfags and "professionals" (people that earn 100% of their income from photography) are the minority consumers of gear

It doesn't matter as much if your photography is good but these dudes are creating video content. People don't like watching bad quality videos but these guys go way over the top.

I’m not sure, but I think I might hate peter McKinnon.

The last video of his, he spent the first five minutes of the video basically vlogging about how he was out in nature birdwatching and didn’t even have a camera with him and was just enjoying the moment, which
A. Was not at all related to what the title of the video promised me
B. Was clearly a lie, because he was goddamn VLOGGING, so OBVIOUSLY he had a camera with him and CLEARLY he was playing with that instead of actually bird watching.

There’s an old saying about how you can tell a real pro photographer from an amateur hobbyist.

The hobbyist will have much nicer high end gear.

Photography is one of those hobbies where people get excited about the prospect of having a new, interesting quirk about them, splash on all the expensive equipment, take a few macro pictures of nature or maybe try some "street" photography and then become disinterested within a month and never use their cameras again.

Well he made a video suggesting you buy complementing lenses that cover a decent focal range..typical holy trinity stuff.

Not sure how you interpreted that as ..go buy these three specific lenses other than an excuse to make this thread

He also pointed out that there's far less expensive versions. Peter's a professional and therefore it makes sense that he's using the pro versions of that "holy trinity."

Also hes an influencer so they just throw whatever. Expencive new toy they come out with for him to review

Why earn money if not to spend it at some point?
It's not like you have to drop 6k all at once just because the screen man told you to. Don't you have agency and free will?

When your favorite camera youtubers get invited on a free vacation/trip to review a new camera that is also a form of paid advertising.

Over the last 12 years I have probably spent over $20k on gear. Started as a hobby and then began making money which in turn led to upgrading from a rebel with kit lens and a 50 to better gear that could withstand some abuse. I've only made a few regrettable purchases for gear I no longer use (gary fong, some tripods, etc). I haven't bought anything new ever except for my most recent camera body. Mostly bought used. Been shooting and getting paid for the last 6 years.

He is sponsored by Canon. He is trying to sell Canon gear, even if that is is not outright stated.

People like to live vicariously through these videos, or are just curious. Buzzfeed has a popular series where they compare the most expensive version of things to the cheapest, and it wildly popular. Linus builds computers some times with components that people cant get access with near unlimited budget. Personally I enjoy content of that nature because particularly for technology watching give insight in to what make are heuristics for value and quality, and more importantly its a glimpse into the future. As poorfag even the cheap camera more pros use are above me. still watch because I want to know what it takes intern of gear to be at the pinnacle on the profession.

>this

I work at a camera store and this really is so true. If it wasn't for newly-retired boomers, rich wildlife photo loving rednecks who will do anything for "more zoom" on their D500, trust fund millennials starting their YouTube channel/travel Instagram, Leica snobs, and insecure businessmen trying to buy their trophy wife's love for another year with a FF Canon, I wouldn't have a job. When I'm not working with one of those types I'm dealing with seniors hanging onto their scotch tape covered 2003 HP digicam for dear life, and the rare professional.

Camera equipment has and always will be a luxury commodity.
