I was at work when I saw this, so I was only half-watching some fragments, with subdued sound... I wasn't quite sure yet whether it was a joke or not. Until I got to part three and the pictures of his neighbourhood and house... classic. Very funny.

Just indicative of a 'sad' world - what a waste of time, space and money.
Luckily the guy doesn't seem to be harming anyone so let's just be thankful for that.

I totally see the humor, yet can understand how some cannot. When the high-end pro dslr cameras came out, I was shopping for a lesser body. There was an older guy holding a camera and lens combo that was probably $9k and asking the samesman things like "how do you get the picture to be in focus?", "what do these numbers [f-stop] mean?", and "can I take good pictures with this?"

I get that it's a joke, but it's not laugh-out-loud funny. It's a bit boring actually. If anything, it's TOO understated.

I didn't click on it, but from the conversation I think I saw it over a month ago. It warrants a mild chuckle at times. Nothing more.

Other brand forums/sites aren't circle jerks?

I disagree, there is never enough money.
There is always insufficient humor as well.
I like those even numbers on the knob, also. |

I think he sums up why some of the people buy luigi cases , instead of another practical half case that doesn't cost as much. After all when you are taking pictures in the decisive moment you don't really care for the quality of the aged leather, rather durability, don't get me wrong they are fine cases

He's clearly ridiculing a specific segment of the camera-using population. It seems more cathartic than comedic to me.

I've tried his technique of leaving the outer dial on 4 and turning the inner one all the way clockwise and I have to say I'm getting more keepers!
I'm just hoping he brings out a follow up to this video soon because I'm still not sure what to do with the little dial on top of the camera?

yeah and he has a gun in one of the videos, too.
I doubt this guy is a photographer; I'm pretty sure he's rich as **** and is just poking fun at his friends who probably own the same cameras but don't know how to change the ISO. |

'But I have become a good photographer now. I also shoot film with the Leica MP.' Brilliant!

Still. His voice and tone used are hillarious. He kept himself sounding serious.
Maybe he is making fun of people who do not know how to take photos.
