Helpful Posts: I generally run hot and cold on YouTube videos. Some are excellent and some are absolutely horrible. The worst, IMO, are done by some dunce who has just received the piece of equipment he is reporting on and is so dim that he must look at the piece of gear to read the name.
OTOH... some videos are really quite good. Grant Atkinson a South African wildlife photographer has a series on the Canon 7D Mark II that are really quite good.
Here is a link to one of his videos. If you enjoy it, you can find his others from this one...

Re: YouTube Videos On 7D Mark II
Or how about the ones where they force you to watch them open the box, its not Christmas and we're not your parents; its not cute.
Or the even worse behavior where they wait until the camera is turned on to take a gulp of their coffee or eat their doughnut, save it for the blooper reel please.

Re: YouTube Videos On 7D Mark II
I quite agree and I watch a lot on YouTube.I generally run hot and cold on YouTube videos. Some are excellent and some are absolutely horrible.
Perhaps I'm biassed by a career in professional/broadcast TV, but in addition to the above, those 'Review' YouTubers that don't seem to understand the concept of 'rehearsal' annoy me. Richard and John have already given a couple of examples of behaviours we don't need to see or hear in a review.
They should either do a rehearsal (camera off), or do it to a recording camera, but ditch that take and do it a second time to avoid at least 50% of the bloopers. They obviously take no pride in their output.
I exclude Vlogging from my criticism above, that's just the nature of the beast and, especially if subsequently edited well, can be entertaining.
A review should not be treated as a vlog, people watch them to gain information, not the 'idiosyncrasies' of the person in front of the camera.
