  • 3:25 3:27 are the funniest part of the video haha

  • Alamby is so cute. <3

  • i have huge hands and huge feet.

  • you guys really like to start the videos near by a jet of water dont you?

  • I wonder why they decided to skip on the available colors? Not only was the red GF1 quite good looking, they even produced a pink "sakura" version later on.

  • @gmartirosyan background blur in a photograph.

  • shooting iso 3200 under perfect sunny conditions. Any low light tests?

  • Is there any reviewing depth to this?

  • possible a different person narrating on this video? haha...

  • do a Nex7 review asap!

  • gx1 vs ep3

  • Gx-1 vs nex 5 ??? or what is the best mirrorless camera

  • Guyz? what's a bokeh??

  • @gmartirosyan Just ask Wikipedia. It knows everything ;-)

  • "It performs better than the GF1, but doesn't exactly vomit in its face."

    That's why I like Kai.

  • I sell this shit! good shit! (Y) wohooo!

  • Looks lovely. 80% decided on this compared to the oly ep3 just need to hold both to make up my mind. Add some fast primes and im ready to rock and roll.

  • kai is one goffy dude.

  • 25 mm F1.4 Leica SUMMILUX for micro 4/3 !! Simply lovely

  • Guys guys! I need your advice so bad!! Which do you think is better? This or Olympus E-PL3?? I was already planning to buy E-PL3 next week. Until I saw this. The photos look stunning!! I also saw the sample photos from Olympus and comparing it to GX1, the photos from E-PL3 is a little disappointing coz it's not that sharp and vibrant unlike this. My only problem is, GX1's more expensive. Is it worth the extra price or I'll just stick with E-PL3?

  • @rapamano The GX1 doesn't give you all that much more than the E-PL3 for the money. And the reason why the images look better on the GX1 in this video is probably because the pictures taken here were taken with a Panasonic 25mm f1.4 lens, and the pictures from the E-PL3 were probably taken with the kit lens. The sharpness is more determined by the lens, rather than the body (and you can use the lens in this video on the E-PL3 as well).

  • @rapamano GX1 is better in low light. That is why i am going for it. otherwise not that much difference. Its all in the lens. both olympus and panasonic kit lenses not so impressive. so invest in fast prime lens.

  • Panasonic would do better if they waited and release this as GF2 instead of the crappy GF2/3 they released earlier.

  • i need a poo so im just going to pause be back in a bit...

  • Photos are impressive but surely you should use the kit lens rather than an expensive lens like that? Masks the actual potential image quality that people who purchase the camera will get.

  • WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING THAT THE SONY A65 TAKES HORRIBLE PICTURES?

    I thought I finally found my perfect SLR to hold for years and years lol

  • @BlubberOwl Because they are clueless. Excellent camera, same sensor as NEX-7 or vice versa.

  • thumbs up if u wanna buy it right now 

  • @TheDarkRanger7th  NOPE!!!!!....leave that to YOU! and your 13 friends with MORE money than sense!......its almost DSLR size! WITHOUT the dslr benefits!....the whole point of a compact camera is its size and most of these newer so called compacts are not THAT small so what's the attraction?....if u must get 1 of these over hyped toys..get the Sony NEX-5N!....AND for the same price you get a BIGGER APS-C sensor!...do some research before wasting your money my friend!

  • @MrCOLTSR2 Fuck you.

  • @musguelha14 lmao..no fuck you!... retard!...as if i give a shit..

  • 0:44 If i was passing him, i'd so push him.

  • STRONG LIKE BULL!

  • why would you want 20 fps burst mode? 25 fps and you have film. it would just come out looking like a film recording surely.

  • The sound is out of sync on this video cuz I am hearing this Oxford British voice and I look at some chinese guy!

  • perfect match with Leica Lens...

  • An... Asian dude with a British accent? *Mind snaps* This is about as freaky as that one white guy, Ken Tanaka, from Japan. =O

  • @IntarwebUser The last person that was this ignorant was from U.S. , so i assume you're from the same place?

  • after watching, i wondered why did i have to carry my heavy d700 around the city.

  • Comment removed

  • close your eyes and listen to his voice..

    could never tell he was asian :P

  • Oh my, this is pure boredom. You can do better, really.

  • please please do a review of the pentax k5.

  • Can you please compare the GX1 with the EP3?

  • Your face doesn't match your voice, LOL

  • @ItsMooseJaw My thoughts exactly, but the presenter is really quite funny 

  • @ItsMooseJaw it does if you live in britian.

  • @AngelTheTigress I do live in Britain!

  • @ItsMooseJaw LOL true.

  • 3:24 OWWWW.. flowers going for my penis!

  • Wow Asian dude with british accent, awsome.

  • When is the GX2 coming out? it's gonna be better than the GX1

  • Review the Nokia C1- 01

  • 'and now...its BWACK!'

  • Here's the G3. Remove articulating LCD, remove EVF, add metal and $200.

  • Kai has the Panasonic Leica 25mm f/1.4 ASPH lens on the GX1. Same combo I use.

  • Okay we need to see the ep3 vs the gx1 now.

  • A 1 minute review padded out to almost 8 minutes!!!!

  • what lens was he using with the camera, please?

  • Waba grip

  • thanks, I check it out, here in canada both camera and lens are from japan, and they are arriving in january with gx1 and in stock with gf3. and i did check that lens out at the store

  • i fell asleep during this review fuck sakes

  • Socks & boat shoes doesn't mix. Come on Kai! You should know better.

  • @spambryan17 Maybe his feet were cold?

    

  • Nice review, but more of the charming Allambie, please.

  • Nice rhyme at the end there Kai.

  • Good review. Good to see Kai more relaxed and getting straight to the point!

  • your glasses are cool, can you tell me the make?

  • @HARDCOREgoodrums They look a bit like Ray-Ban RB5257s, but that's just a guess.

  • Canon EF 10-22mm lens review please!

  • what are you? o_o

  • WTF! I was watching this on high volume and my entire volume heard 3:26.

  • STOP MOVING UR LIPS LIKE THAT UR SCARING ME!!!!

  • that akward moment when you think the guy who is talking is a white british guy, but turns out to be asian

  • With this i know what to know now Sony NEX-7 preforms and is it better to go for the A77 when your spending this much money...

  • Its my birthday! Can I get a reply from Kai? That'll would be awesome!

  • I never knew asians had Nigerian lips. Someone needs to introduce this guy to Vaseline.

  • Could you do a head-to-head to compare this against the Samsung NX200 please? Currently I'm really stuck between the two cameras and have been looking for a good review for ages.

  • Kai, pls get a haircut!

  • sweet!

  • What is leicable?

  • BOKEHLICIOUSNESS!

  • @badgot ahahah i thought so

  • his voice dosnt match his look hmmmm hahahaha

  • ...very leicable

  • F1.4 OoO

  • Thumbs up if you think Kai needs a haircut! (and prolly do a review while he's on that)

  • is that at the sha tin park?

  • HEY LOOK ITS... ALAMBY

    sorry had to be done!

  • why not review it with the X lens ?

  • @KelvinEF Due to flooding in Thailand, the X lenses are incredibly hard to come by right now (especially the 14-42mm X lens, which will not ship with the GX1 as a proper kit until January, last I read on The Camera Store's blog in Canada). I have also read that there are some sharpness issues on that particular 14-42 X lens. With the 20mm prime and 14-140mm lenses, I see no sharpness issues, and fully agree with any sentiments stated by the reviewer about just how much fun it is to shoot with.

  • @benjjs

    i don't think the panny's lens is made in thailand, it's sony and nikon usually.

    the 14-42mm x lens is made in japan.

  • @9054716755 - If you go on The Camera Store's blog, there is an article about product shortages. My understanding is that several companies had to move from Japan due to the tsunami and earthquake and moved production to Thailand, only to be affected by the flood. That blog post specifically addresses the 14-42 mm X lens, suggesting it will be available January both alone and as part of the GX1KX kit.

  • what lens was this?

  • i love alamby

  • There's gotta be a contractual obligation that Alamby has to be in at least one DigitalRev video a month. And look incredibly adorable in the process.

  • Please review Zeiss CP Prime lenses.

  • "strong leicabull"

  • Good review/video as always. These 4/3's cameras make so much sense. These companies just have to get with the program and add a few extra features to one of their models, still keeping the price reasonable. PC flash sync, smaller built-in EVF (ala 35mm rangefinder) and a decent AF assist light for available light images. I use Canon aps and full frame DSLR's with L lenses but use my 4/3's camera more and more each day. Keep up the good work. Did I mention entertaining as well.

  • ..her

  • What a pleasant weat

  • A lot of this "performance" is due pretty amazing lens (version before 25mm f1.4 for 4/3 was pretty good too and for very long time, only "normal" prime lens for 4/3s and m4/3 via adapter).

    GX1 doesnt have much real advantage over m4/3 12 mpix cameras, its just good processing, noise is still there and if you take a close look, its a lots of noise. And colors are, well.. Panasonic. If you want good ones, shoot RAW and use Capture One. Then its ok (almost).

    Its decent, but its not NEX-7.

  • If you dont read between lines, then I think it should have look like Panasonic L-1, had around 8 mpix sensor without AA and top-notch electronics to have very low noise. It would be then more expensive, but well made and usable even for "pro". Increasing pixels wont solve noise problem, or dynamic range problem (no Im not talking about DR in JPEGs), quite opposite.

    Thats my idea how should GX1 look, if they really meant it. Now its just like E-P3 with 16 mpix sensor..

  • Although I think this is the best looking Digital Rev review yet its also the least inspiring effort I've seen in a while...boring. Next time it would help if you shoot a bit more then tree branches and the strange electronic soundtrack is distracting.

  • Thats how Hongkong looks in winter?

  • just one question..are you sitting in water?

  • tamron 17-55mm f2.8 !

  • @C0C0KOKO dosent need reviewing i have it and think its amazing, why would you listen to my opinion? well check my fickr page if you want convincing that im any good with a camera (listed on my channel). i use it on a 60D for weddings and it has yet to fail me. I'd say the contrast and resolution are as good, and sometimes better than my 10-22 canon.

    only thing id say goes against it, is its hesitation to focus on low contrast scenes. other than that the optics are stellar!

  • Lok's fantastic videography ever!

  • Panasonic Gx1 vs Olympus EP3

  • Nothing to do with the camera, I would like to know how did they edit the outdoor audio to sound like he's in a room?

  • Your reviews are getting better, Kai!

  • where is the place at the beginning of the video? i mean the lake. anyone knows?

  • A mode?

  • up up up for alamby... <3

  • Nice review, though I wish he did it using the stock 14-42 kit lens or the new motorized 14-42 X lens. Using the Panny-Leica 25/1.4 is kinda unrealistic, seeing that most buyers will start out with the kit lens and will have to scrimp and save for better glass later on.

  • What? very leicable? :))

  • Another amazing video Kai...!

    Loves it !

  • Is it me or does Kai change his hair for every film?

  • $800/ usd WTFFFF

  • gf3 or gx1?

  • Sony nex 5n beats this anyday right?

  • 7:24 very "LEICA"-ble

  • Your clothes are too big for you

  • @NickSpaloss How tight do you wear your clothes!?

  • @ethancfbz haha in the first scene they look huge on him, maybe its an illusion

  • Anybody else see the little bug crawling around @6:22?

  • Thumbs up if you now say "bokeh" like Kai haha.

  • wheres yr video sample?

  • hello Alamby :)

  • I want one but the price is a tad overpriced!

  • Goodness it kills me when you guys sit camera's right on the edge of water. I guess it's not as bad as ripping it apart and painting it pink. No one would do that though.

  • @alishaisnotaface I'm surprised that Kai hadn't dropped one in a pond or off a ledge yet.

  • @RissaBlueStar The amount he fumbles around next to ponds, ledges and the ocean without a strap, it is a sheer miracle XD

  • Although the 5N is cheaper than the GX-1 and EP3 it would be lovely to see a three-way comparison. Had a chance to feel up the GX-1 last week, feels superb - personally i prefer the design over the EP3 and 5N.

  • forums.dpreview.com/forums/rea­dflat.asp?forum=1041&message=4­0095737

    theres the comparison of real life OOC samples with no PP

  • 5:43 did the ant just fell from the fence?

  • "to show off the bamboo nicely?"

  • Alamby showed off that bamboo like a pro!

  • good stuff, informative video... and alamby, the only model you guys need...

  • "It's very Leicable"

  • @thrillhax I heard the same exact thing.

  • @thrillhax Or "very likable"... :)

  • What's with all the abstract / point n' shoot reviews????? Do more videos of products that "normal people" would have!

  • Great review Kai! I agree with others who are asking for an GX1 vs E-P3 comparison video. Please do it!

  • I amaze by the image quality was so great

  • Click here 05:11 for Alamby and yeah its all about the BOKEH!!!!

  • the accent threw me off big time

  • Alamby is back! :)

  • No viewfinder, no use. Sony is the only maker really listening to punters. The Nex 7 is the nearest thing yet to what people actually want (apart from the 24 MP). I guarantee you this time next year there will be no middle-range compact or range-finder type cameras with a viewfinder.

  • Looks like I'm gonna keep my GF1 still...

  • DigitalRev never ceases to surprise me.

  • Great review, Kai !

  • Very leica-ble :D

  • MOAR Alamby indeed!

  • Alamby the best. No Kinky can compare to her.

  • @andersdenkend who is kinky

  • Mi mettete i sottotitoli in italiano????
