“So, the main camera I'm using is the Lumix S1R2.”
- Panasonic Lumix L10
$1,599.99cited in 3 videosmixed views on it

“Even though we still walked at least 15,000 steps on this day, I wanted it to be a bit more of a relaxing day where we don't shoot as much as usual. So, I decided to use mostly the L10.”
- Panasonic Lumix S9
$1,197.99cited in 3 videosfirst cited September 2026positive about it

“Usually, I brought my S9 to vlog with this lens, but I also have the L10 because I was here for Lumix's 25th anniversary event, so I have an L10 now, which I really like for photography, and it's pretty good for like cinematic video as well, but when I'm vlogging, I do a lot of walking and talking, and I find that the stabilization isn't quite smooth enough for that, so I'd prefer to use my S9 or my S1R II.”
- Sony A7S III

“I also have the Sony a7S III, and I'm going to be getting some video b-roll shots with this lens, so you can take a look at that footage as well.”

- Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM
$1,499.99cited in 5 videosspeaks highly of it

“Next, you know me and how I love getting portraits on a 35 mm prime lens. It's such a fun lens to use to capture more environmental style shots where you can see more of the location while the subject is still a prominent part of the frame.”
- Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II
$2,599.99cited in 2 videos

“During this roadtrip I am using only 3 lenses to capture all my images and videos: the Sony 35mm f1.4 GM, 70-200mm f2.8 GMII and 16-35mm f2.8 GMII.”

“This is the Mark1 version, which I own. I unfortunately don't really use it that often as the autofocus performance is not as strong as I would like and because of that it makes me not want to carry such a big and heavy lens around.”
