I was kinda surprised to see that he isn't even using any form of stabilization.

Kevlar, Canon RP, EF to RF adapter and a 50mm F1.2 EF lens. That is pretty much it.

Canon R, not RP. Still pretty much bottom of the barrel mirrorless.

That's why no stabilization, so much light he needs none. A matter of equivalence.

you are retarded and you should consider MAID. on the frontline you use fast shutter speeds anyway so what would you need stabilization for? HOLD STILL BASED SOLDIER I NEED TO KEEP ISO AT 100 AND MY VR ALLOS ME TO SHOOT 1/2S HANDHELD.

because a R5 brings in half annual income for the typical ukrainian. would be a shame if that reporter got shot by russians ... in the back ... and that nice R5 would disappear

If he had leica q3 43. he could take the photos he wanted because q3 doesn't look like that big bulky expensive noob camera.
Shame someone does a real job doesn't have a real camera.

Contemporary war photography is utterly disgusting and boring. These goobers have no style.

Crossdressing as maids is part of tranime culture so you go do it instead. Faggot.
Secondly, IS lets you shoot sharper at almost every shutter speed. So even that 50mm 1/50s shot benefits.

As a street shitter, i demand IBIS to be better and better. the Hassel X2dii's IBIS looks awesome to me.
IBIS isn't only about shaky handers coping feature. It also allows to take pictures that can't be took without IBIS or improved IBIS.

Just guessing based off of a hunch, but I'd imagine this is the kind of guy whose profession isn't to take photos of pixels but of subjects.

Its worth mentioning this man literally has brain damage

The expensive as fuck rf 50mm f1.2 is so soft at f1.2 its not that different from just bumping up the ISO for an f1.8 unless you insist on being beholden to the camera jpeg engines shitty noise reduction. Literally just opening a raw in capture one and clicking export with 0 changes is better than older cameras jpegs.

Good thing there are plenty of reasons to own the f1.2 even if you only shot it at f1.8
Perhaps your own brain damage made you forge tthat

Watched the video. Basically it's street, but you're more likely to get shot, shelled and kidnapped. Also your camera suffers more wear.
Shooting nothing but manual seems like a flex. Cool that he's shooting in war zones so that I have pictures to go with my morning news, but I think most YouTube reviewers give better gear advice than this guy. It's clearly not his forte.

Q.E.D.: the whole hiding the SD card is a 2010s thing. Most of the places this guy is at have mobile service. A modern body can push photos straight to the cloud via a mobile hotspot as you shoot making this a non-issue.

I was in Afghanistan and we had these big Kodak digital back modded blads, a few F3s and a shitload of Nikonos V’s. The Nikonos’s were basically a point & shoot, but 1, that was what we needed instead of dicking around with settings all day like the F3s, and 2, holy hellin damnin ass if those Nik V’s weren’t as close to indestructible as Jesus and his 3 hot sisters ever came. You never hear much about the sisters, but shyyyyet he taught em to suck a mean dick and build a mean camera.
