I follow a couple of different ones, some of them fairly well known, but I don't see them listed itt:

Mattias Burling - He does a lot of videos reviewing older digital cameras. They're quite cool, and he gets good results. I enjoy his dog, Gunpowder.

Samuel Lintaro Hopf - All street photography all the time. He doesn't have much of a personality, but he does a lot of cool, mostly European, travel photography videos. The one below has been one of my favorites. He's a Ricoh GRIII Ambassador, so you'll get a lot of that, but he also uses and reviews others.

Maarten Heilbron - The Mr. Rogers of PhotoTube. His product reviews are really thorough, and he often goes over most of the settings in the menus.

Ken the loving Sperg - This motherfucker is HIGH on the spectrum. His videos are awful. He readily admits it. He rambles a lot. He rarely stays on topic. He's hard to look at. He's hard to listen to. However, he will drop some knowledge...like real technical poo poo. He's mostly Fuji these days, but he talks a lot about Canon and Nikon too. Good luck.

Kai Wong - You can't wander PhotoTube without tripping over one of his videos. Everyone knows him. Everyone hate watches him, including me. I mostly watch him after a Ken video as a palate cleanser. Kai's observations amuse me. (Bonus: Videos that include Lok are the best)

Evan Ranft is like if a focus group made a photo youtuber to appeal to 16-29 year olds: tattoos, dumb haircut, limited edition sneakers, constant humblebragging, "rise and grind" BS, appears to be oddly successful for no reason. He gives a lot of advice that seems to just be "I did this you should too." He's not a bad photographer but he has no real style and a weird Stepford positive attitude plus for some reason the way he says "make photos" drives me mad.

What the gently caress even is this video? Is someone really watching a dude pack a suitcase and fly? I guess saying the word "aperture" occasionally counts as PhotoTube now.

Oh man I was going back and forth on bringing Ken up, this dude is capital C Crazy and a lot of his videos are straight up unhinged, like when he spent 20 minutes just yelling about how rude Nikon support was for not giving him a loaner of the new Z camera even though he spent six months dunking the gently caress out of the line beforehand.

Absolutely knows his poo poo on a technical level though, he's got a bunch of videos about hypersync and other techniques that are really loving cool, and he apparently does have enough legit connections to be the first one to break a lot of fuji rumor stuff (iirc he was the first one to call that the Xpro-3 had a nontraditional LCD and aside from the name, he's called basically every shot about the X-T4 that we know so far)

Worth rooting through his videos for the occasional gem, if you can get past all the weird physics truther stuff.

I hate that I get both intrigued and mortified when I see that he's posted a new video. He has the decency at least to know when you shouldn't bother watching one of them though.

^^Still over 7500 views!^^

He's on a tear right now, it looks like he's posted 42 videos in the past 2 weeks. :thumbsup:

That was funny as gently caress. He must be a goon, what's his username?

Fake Edit: Also, gently caress Fro. That guy is a poseur.

Ken is like a hosed up slot machine that always pays out.

Also, maybe not the best choice of screensaver.

*glaring at Kai W intensifies*

I don't know where this came from and it might be lost upon most people, but the perfect analogy for DigitalRev/Kai is that they're the Top Gear of photogear. Which is totally fine, if you know what you're in for

I don't have a problem with Kai. He's at least entertaining.

He did a literal Top Gear type challenge with Lok

Imagine being one the biggest yoooootooobe camera channels and some no name who is more interested in selling Monkey Strength workouts comes along and gives you that level of 3rd degree burn

I like Camera Conspiracies guy to a degree. His videos are more entertaining than most, but I hate the "running across the street" gag that he does all the time.
