My name is Dan Watson and I'm a huge fan of anything cameras and cars. I created this channel to help guide you through the photography and videography journey! Tons of videos on cameras, lenses, gear, education, tutorials, and obviously a major focus on hands on real life reviews where we take our gear on location with crazy awesome shoots to guide you on your purchases.
Check out the gear I use everyday! www.kit.co/learningcameras
Recently, I’ve expanded my focus from content creation to helping businesses build in-house content creation solutions by designing studio/podcast setups, training teams, gear selection, and implementing scalable strategies for YouTube and social media platforms. Instead of creating content for the sake of content, we use content to build a brand, improve market perception, and expand influence and partners in a crowded market.

UPDATES!!
I'm heading to the BILD Expo this month in NYC with B&H so register for free and get tons of hands on with the latest gear, workshops with awesome speakers, and a full expo with the best photo/video companies...register here and let me know if you're going! www.bildexpo.com/2025/registration/?ref=AFFWATSON&…
Also, I need you're feedback. I've been using the Sony FX2, Fujifilm GFX medium format, Sigma BF, and some new lenses and I need to know what videos to prioritize first!! Help.
I'm also trying to find a good way of sharing some of what I'm up to on a daily basis with my car shoots, commercial projects, and literally driving a Porsche GT3 RS through the mountains...but I'm not sure what format would be enjoyable to actually post on youtube. I post stories on IG so always check those out and I could literally wear a POV camera and you can just see a mostly uncut version of how I shoot, what I shoot, and the gear I'm using. I could vlog (but I hate it lol). I could hire someone to help shoot a more polished video from these shoots, and I could do a more story format where I show some BTS and then talk through what I was doing maybe more documentary style...still figuring that out but appreciate any help.

I'm heading to BILD expo with B&H...and registration is FREE!! Register today: geni.us/BILD25
Alright, this is by far the best chance to go hands on with all the crazy new gear coming out...(even a few products that haven't been announced yet!), there are a ton of workshops and keynotes with amazing speakers, portfolio reviews, hands on experiences, photo walks, and definitely some big networking opportunities which I will be a part of as well. Let me know if you're heading out and I'll see you there! If there are a few of you, maybe we can setup a coffee shop meetup at some point during the week.

New youtube upload hitting shortly! I haven't been posting as much lately but that's about to change and I'm absolutely stoked for what's next.
Also, taking a poll...would you listen/watch my new podcast? Covering news, new gear, tips, interviews, and even some mini reviews with my impressions on new products. I have note books filled with info I want to get out that usually doesn't fit my typical youtube format. Should the podcast go live?
I have new camera guides going live in 2 weeks to take you next level with your camera, a bunch of new comparison videos for lenses, filters, and cameras, and a few secret vids are also in the works!! It's getting busy haha.
I want to focus this year on getting back to helping photographers and videographers get to the next level so if that's you, let me know right here what I can do to get you there...let's make it happen. Is it reviews, guides, tutorials, comparisons or maybe something completely different...hit me up

Big things on the way! Spent the week in LA and SD working with Tilta on some new tests rocking the DJI Ronin 4d and a ton of other crazy gear. So much footage to go through but I'm pretty stoked for some upcoming content. Also just picked up new cameras and lenses so check out the IG stories Instagram.com/learningcameras and let me know what you think!
Last thing...should I go to NAB this year? Who's going!

Sony 24-50mm F2.8 review on the way! Sorry I'm a day late lol...I've been using the lens the last few weeks but lost my voice last week and struggling to get it back. But I finally managed to record myself yesterday and I'm editing the last bits together now! Going to be a late night but I'll try and have it live tomorrow (Thursday) AM. Honestly, it's a pretty solid lens but there is definitely a bit too much hype from a few "reviews" I saw earlier today so I think this might actually bring some balance to the youtube vids haha. Anything specific you want to know?
