It’s become something of a YouTube tradition for photographers. Every December for the past 3 years, The Camera Store TV hosts get together to reveal their picks for best and worst camera gear of the year… while getting drunk.
This is the fourth installment of this tradition, and whether you come to see Chris Niccolls and Jordan Drake get drunk or you’re genuinely interested in the Top 3 best (and worst) cameras and lenses of 2016, the video won’t disappoint.
We’ll count down the winners and losers below—skipping video cameras… because photography—but we definitely suggest you watch the video to dive deeper into why exactly this gear was worthy of praising (and bashing) in such a publicly inebriated fashion.
