  • I thought I'd grasped the idea of how small it is on video the first time I watched, but when I saw it in my local Camera House I thought it was a toy model thing. It's minuscule!

  • if i worked at a camera st-actually ANYWHERE at this point in these economic times i wouldn't make the customers A.K.A the people who could determine whether or not i work the next day aside from management upset

  • Comment removed

  • lol that story was hilarious your hilarious blunty keep it up i still remember the bubble rap video fuicking hilarious

  • Note that Jessops are ALREADY offering a package worth £300 off anyone buying the new V1 - kind of proves that Nikon now understand that they have got the price WRONG ! Good luck Nikon selling many after the 1st rush - your gonna need it ! Think the same will happen with the Pentax Q - too small a sensor and too expensive

  • @mikeismad61 they didn't make a mistake, they did it right, like apple they make the first pay a premium just so they can feel special....and broke, then once the price drops they make more profit later on, but the people who bought it first also bring in good profits

  • LOL!

    I agree that all brands should seek new ideas and designs - I'm an ex Pentax man (Pentax MX) and used the classic Auto 110 during the 1980's -it was fun, prints were crap but the slides weren't bad. My point was really aimed at Nikon rather than Pentax. I just think that with new players like Sony, Samsung and Panasonic some of the classic camera brands are in danger - perhaps most of all Pentax (which is a great pity). Not anti Pentax - far from it.

  • Great video, looking forward to the review

  • Been working in camera store for years. I have to say I sympathise with your description, but for the most part I had it in reverse, with the wining and nagging.

  • Seems like a lot of guys working at camera stores aren't really happy with their jobs:P

  • @hattrickster33 Indeed. Lucky for me I know a couple guys at good stores who happen to enjoy their jobs.

  • Always Love your stories. sorry I am behind. Just catching up. 

  • 2:25 if you really wanted to stick it to them, you should have put the employ's name up there

  • funny, i was actually trying to sleep. but it was interesting.

  • I hate it when store assistants don't know their facts.

    Before LittleBigPlanet 2 was launched in the UK, I went to the local GAME store and asked when it would be available in the UK - since it was already released in the US (The same day intact).

    The guy says "That game won't be here for the another 6 months. It might not even come here at all"

    You bastard! 1 Month later, what do you know? LBP2 is in the UK.

  • lol blunty the frog!

  • Has anyone told you that at an angle you look like Robert Downey Jr.?

  • We were at the Pentax Q launch event earlier today and they said that the other lenses would be available in the coming weeks. So it might be the reason why you only got the pancake lens kit. Nifty little thing, the Q.

  • I LOL'ed hard at the sale rep part. I even googled the place XD.

  • Man the hell we have to go through to get a decent camera lol (for anything come to think of it) I feel your pain brother. I hope you enjoyed this camera.

  • That shirt is awesome...I want!

  • I love that you leave in the flubs and distractions, and the bits where you get sidetracked into talking about awesome features. It's brilliant to see someone so enthusiastic and honest about the "product" they produce. +10 internets for the use of the word "cnut" too!

  • I work in a camera shop in the uk and see lots of rubbish come and go from some of the companys. I came back after 3 weeks off(holiday) and saw this and thought "whats this crap?".....

    now a few days of playing with it, I really like it. It reminds me of the old minox cameras. Not had a chance to take proper photos with it but I honestly would consider spending my money on it. The lenses are reasonably priced too

    plus the dude in the first camera shop, what a dick. 

  • That Olympus have a hard time focusing on anything. Nice image quality though.

  • @SquirrelFromGradLife Actually, with Olympus lenses it's very very good, I was using a Panasonic lens (which is superb for stills, but not so great with constant tracking exposure for video).

  • @Blunty3000 How can the lens play a part in that segment when it's the auto focus system that controls what's in focus? Isn't it more the case of having to shallow a depth of field for everything to be in focus. The face tracking system is constantly working if your mug moves..

    But I really love the idea of the m4/3 system and both Olympus and Panasonic have made some brilliant small cameras.

  • @metelgirlrobo That'd be Georges. Wonder how Michael's doing..

  • I wish I was bored with a new gadget...

  • Love your reaction to the camera store! Haha just subscribed, always nice to discover another great camera reviewer!

  • Your autofocus is having a fun time on this video...

    Been watching for a while. Always impressed how you get your hands on the new stuff down under. Nice work.

  • @semajsb Ha.. see you commented on the autofocus in the video... damn attention span.. can't wait till the end to comment!

  • Thats some bad luck with that camera. Good that it was worth it.

  • "Shut up you whiny , bitching, lisping, fucking cunt!" HAHAHAHA

  • :) that top is around 20% cooler then any other top

  • This is the most enthusiastic-despite-sick Blunty yet! If this is how excited you are telling the purchase story, I can't wait for the review (with high hopes you still feel good about it).

    Get well very soon, Nate.

  • i, too, have been fascinated by this camera. and, yes, despite all the negative nancys saying bad things about it i would like one.

    my only problem with this camera is the price- it seems far too much. but as i work in a camera shop there may (may!) be ways around that... fingers crossed!

    ;)

  • Live long and bitch well!

  • 6:48 - 6:58 xD best 10 seconds in the video xD

    btw get well Blunty :)

  • Gotta say, it sounds like you handled the camera's order thing very well. A lesser man would have been mad at the camera store.

  • @LOTRzagorath Like I said, it was hardly their fault... their online ordering system worked, they requested the correct items from their supplier, they invoiced me correctly, they were simply sent the wrong items from their supplier/distributor, nothing they could have done, not their fault, and they were eager get things fixed up as quickly and painlessly as possible. (still waiting on that part). No point blowing up at them.

  • @Blunty3000 blowing on them hey? ;)

  • Im curious, what Mic do you use?

    Nice little vid by the way.

  • This video was freaking awesome just by the way. Very well done review, kept me interested the whole time. Even the little blunder with the focusing was entertaining somehow.

    Also noticed how much longer your takes are now compared to what they used to be. Good work with that!

    Cant wait until the review is out.

  • Comment removed

  • This video reminded me how fucking good Blunty is at ranting. Easily the best.

  • Nice shirt.

  • How many camera stores that you won't visit now?

  • Why do u sound funny?

  • Stores should ask if people are assholes on the question airs. 

  • Good job on calling out all of the shitty camera stores Blunty! Doing us all a favor :)

  • lispy fucking cunts piss me the fuck off too... those cocksuckers!

  • Yeah story time with blunty :D

  • the focus problem isn't distracting me, at least no where near as it seems to be distracting you any how lol , get better soon,

  • The comments that you make, made me laugh. Thats why I watch your video for information and your comments on them!

  • @metelgirlrobo That was a different store... one, true to my word, I have never returned to since.

  • Just one of the many reasons I stopped working in retail. People are assholes.

  • Brony shirt. Nice.

  • i did the same thing for some reason when the camera went out of focus haha

  • Snide comments like that, ya I agree. I would never go back. Treat your customers like crap. You deserve what you get. No money! Great video.

  • how much does it cost?

  • @Blunty3000 try taking some Try drinking some honey, lemon, and Ginsing tea, and look for tea tree oil, and put a few drops in a hot cup of water, put a towel over your head, and huff the stuff in, that along with a honey/lemon cough drop does wonder when I loose my voice do to allergies like right now.

  • pro video man, maybe a seperate rant about that camera store when your voice is better, i wanna see you go full scale Blunty on them! :-) I still watch your last camera store rant when i need a pick-me-up.

  • You don't sound too bad in this vid. Still must be a bitch to talk. I hate soar throats.

  • lol butthurt, the Pentax Q is a great little camera. A good bit overpriced but definitely performs better than its specs let on. Still I would not blame anyone for assuming its a stupid little gimmick with that micro sensor.

  • I did not fall asleep.Usually I avoid watching longer videos but you kept my interest :P And I loved how you were talking about that douchebag in the store.You were talking with such passion... xD

    ~ Get well soon :)

  • I love your rants, Blunty xD Gimme moar

  • Get well soon Blunty!

  • Ohh... Interested! My old Pentax is almost dead, and why are camra store people such Pricks? Is it because 99% of people only take photos and vids from crappy phones...

  • Your rant-videos are the best <3

  • Comment removed

  • Get well soon brother!)

  • lol

  • Lol blunty ur the man

  • you sound like people asking when the i5 is coming out! XD

  • hey blunty, you described the pentax is a compact dslr, how would you compare it to the NEX-5 or NEX-3?

  • @3zoozM Same concept, very different approach. 

  • What beginner dslr would you recommended Blunty? I'm looking at the canon eos 600d any suggestions?

  • CLASSIC BLUNTY!!! love it!!

  • BLUNTY, i need some advice, im looking for a water proof camera as a gift, would you recommend any? hope you reply

  • autoooo-focus ><

  • Hey Blunty!? Wouldn't it be totally awesome if the store with the cunts owner saw this video? :D

  • i really enjoy how blunt you are about things, if u think something sucks you don't sugar coat it with the word alright u straight out say it sucks love your opinions

  • Anyone else think Blunty's voice would be great for audio books?

  • Maybe that guy is Micheal :D

  • The end was the best part of the video.

  • What's your camera store of choice?

    And I don't know why on earth employees ask stupid shit like "why do you want that for?"

    "I'm here to buy a TV"

    *in whiny voice*

    "But sir, what do you want that for?"

    Ffs....

  • the real question is does it suck

  • i want a brony car :D

  • Looks like a very nice camera. Bring on the review Blunty!

  • Blunty... Please never use the ep3 for video again :) or at least increase f/stop and use a wider lens at a closer distance (increase DOF)The hunting focus may actually be as annoying as dslr prices and stores in australia.

  • awesome review Blunty!!!! awesome as always!

  • I love the enthusiasm at the end there :)

  • our belly is bursting with excitement, you even make me excited about these cameras, cant wait for the review Blunty!

    p.s. love your stuff AND

    PentaxQ or Nikon 1?

  • that guy obviously fogot the first rule in customer service.... the customer is always right....

  • @nmairsoft21 Wrong. The French example is much better, "The customer is always King". In this version, you give the customer excellent service, but if the customer is being a complete idiot, you correct them. Although most US/UK stores now follow the idea that the customer is usually an idiot.

  • the shirt made the video 20% cooler. I enjoyed the little rant about the stupid shop-person too. As the customer one should not have to prove oneself to be worthy of service! If sb comes in and asks to buy a specific product there is no need for such behaviour. The customer should not have to explain all his life choices to a complete stranger!

  • Oogly boogly :-)

  • Not having too much luck with camera stores in Sydney, are you?

  • The focus did go wibbly wobbly.... timey wimey!!!

  • geez nate, the camera store guy really pissed you off.

  • Is youtube what you do on the side of your actual work or do you get enough money from just the youtube work?

  • Hm... So I should avoid Dirt Cheap Cameras and George's if I'm ever in Sydney??

    Wonder how many OTHER camera stores you'll find with shitty employees in the near future?

  • Comment removed

  • Sick? Boo

    On the BRIGHT side, Spring just started in Aus., didn't it?? ;) Or at least "Spring"-like weather since I don't recall how you folks in the S. Hemisphere refer to seasons.

  • @whoo689 yeahh.. well sort of. For you:

    Summer: December to February

    Autumn: March to May

    Winter: June to August

    Spring: September to November

  • I am really interested to see your review, can't wait!

  • Blunty rants. The second most entertaining thing on YouTube, right after ponies

  • I don't know why blunty but I think you look sort of like a koala here

  • BROHOOF ^_^

  • I love your gestures Blunty. They're very expressive. =P

  • Hey Blunty, what's opinion of buying cameras from foreign-based websites? i.e..eglobaldigitalcameras

  • @probotnemesis I've imported lenses, and other accessories, but never camera bodies, I always get those local.... Sure you'll probably spend a bit more locally, but you'll have a local warranty and much easier, and much more convenient, after sales support, worth it IMHO. Like today, had I imported this camera, then got the wrong one in, it would have been a COLOSSAL pain in the ass to fix the issue and would take much longer (emails back and fourth, shipping it back, ship out right one etc etc)

  • Comment removed

  • @Blunty3000 Take Care Of Yourself Man Lots Of Tea Honey And Lemon. Hope You Feel Better.

  • it seems to be £600 with the 50mm equivalent lens over here in the UK. Is it worth that do you think?

  • That is a cool little camera, there are so many cameras in these videos it's giving me a bit of a brain overload XD

    Looking forward to the review Blunty :) Hope you're feeling alright soon.

  • how much is that camera worth? I might get one!

  • you look tanned...

  • Get well soon Blunty.

    Great video mate.

    I'll avoid that store next time I'm shopping for gadgets as I dislike pricks like that immensely!

    Hope this rain pisses off soon too so you can get out and do a review!

    Laters.

  • blunt RAGE :p

  • Nice looking little camera. Very professional of the camera store where you got it from... very nice of them. I know many stores that would have complained to hell and back about taking it back or swapping it out... almost like it was your fault for walking out of the store with the wrong box lol.

  • Comment removed

  • @JordanPBloomfield  you make me sick

  • Cool story, Blunty.

  • So this camera is like a midget. It wasn't to be taken seriously, but people will probably write it off as a cute, little toy.

  • @SeanTheOriginal It's more like Yoda.... Small, but only fools underestimate it because it's small.

  • HAHAHAHAH first time i've seen Blunty drop the C bomb, that store clerk sounds like a real bitch though

  • I like blunty when he say's cunt, like a true aussie

  • @xxashton92xx It's the only way I know how to say it ;P (it just happens to be the very best way in the world)

  • @Blunty3000 I'll have to disagree The Scots definitely come first, Aussies a close second though lol (I'm not Scottish BTW)

  • @xxashton92xx I had to rewind it to hear if I heard correctly LOL

  • I am now making a Blunty soundboard. Only sample: CUNT!

  • I've decided a really bad time to buy a new camera apparently, just recently I purchased a factory demo Olympus E420 which I mainly bought because it was only $200, but now the Nikon 1 series have come out and the Pentax Q and the Canon mirrorless cameras that are rumoured to be released soon and just FUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! But, I'm not complaining, it's a great camera as far as I can see(yeah, I'm kind of a noob to cameras but it seems decent even when I blow the photos up, but not changing ISO).

  • The audio,, isn't exactly brilliant, or is it just me?

  • Not a bad story :)

    I hate when orders get fucked around, I feel your pain

  • hahahaha @ the rant about the camera store... literally made me "lol"

  • awww such a cute lil sensor ^_^

    I'm actually quite looking forward to the review

  • audio's weird. great review though :)

  • this video made me happy

  • What's with you and camera stores salesmen lol

  • These kinds of videos from you are some of my favourites - pure entertainment (granted kind of at your expense what with the cockhead at the camera store giving you shit and what-not) :)

    I thought your shirt was a Ford Mustang shirt (which confused me slightly) but it all made sense in the end, a very clever parody-of-sorts of the Mustang logo.

    Should also mention that because of your tweets about M.L.P. I too am now a Brony! Brony Pride (!?)

  • Cool shirt.

  • @andrey9797 it's 20% cooler than most other shirts.

  • @Blunty3000 Sure is, great video.

  • track my face!!!!!!!!

  • In your using it, have you found whether the compact-sized sensor (though it is a compact sized camera, so fair enough) is much of a downside or not?

  • @NalaNosivad So far it's been surprising me, the image quality is noticeably better than I'd expected... it's a back illuminated CMOS sensor, (like Sony's superb Exmor R sensors... may even BE sourced from sony for all I know) some image noise sneaks in a bit sooner in low light at higher ISO's compared to larger sensors (micro 4/3 or APSC), and of course the focus depth of field is more limited, but I'm still getting some nice Bokeh under the right conditions.

  • Oh god, he's starting to talk to the cameras. 

  • I lost my camera in the mud :(

  • Hows your knees?

  • @AcHamudi ... bendy.

  • one brony to another, you dont need a great cam to take pictures of yourself covered in glitter... just use the dreameye for that!

  • Yay! More Blunty!

  • Im ill too blunty dont worry man :(

  • you switch cameras like i switch socks

  • @iPerfection68 I can only hope Blunty's cameras don't end up as crusty as your socks.

  • @iPerfection68 A camera slut he is.

    

  • @iPerfection68 You switch socks? :3
