Description
New gear is great, but what if you could get the same results for a fraction of the price by buying used?
Direct from Adorama’s own used store, photographer Gavin Hoey puts a “Heavy Use” Canon 5D Mark IV camera through a series of real world tests to answer one simple question… Would you trust it on a real photoshoot?
From consistency and exposure accuracy to shadow detail and overall reliability, Gavin walks through a practical workflow you can use to build confidence in any used camera. If you’ve ever been tempted by used gear but worried about reliability, this is a practical, real-world guide to help you decide with confidence.
Gavin will be joined by Chloe as his model, Sam on the chat and Freya on the super switcher, so join the conversation, get your questions answered live or just watch along and enjoy the show.
