    Perfect balance of info and entertainment
    If you’re searching for podcasts about cameras there’s a decent likelihood that you’re a bit of a nerd. Assuming that you’re reading this review, then you are a nerd, and you’ll most likely enjoy this podcast for the information AND entertainment value. If you’re looking for straight entertainment you might want to look elsewhere. One thing that separates this podcast from other very lovely camera-related podcasts is that Jeff and Gabe, as writers, understand how to tell a story and how to keep things brief. Which is not to say that sometimes Jeff won’t go on an overly-long diatribe about the correct pronunciation of a word or the rarity of a particular Alpa, but all in all they keep it short and don’t extrapolate unneccessarily. But even so, they’re delightful to listen to and very fun people. Maybe it’s just my luck, but often when I run into camera nerds they tend to be elitist or put-off if you try and chat with them. Jeff and Gabe are none of the sort; I get the impression they’d be happy to chat with you if you bumped into them on the street. (You’d likely have to be in Milan to bump into Jeff or at fashion week to bump into Gabe, but I digress.) Actually, that makes me think of a word of caution; your podcast hosts are not blue-collar “Joes,” as such do not fall for their schemes to get you to buy every camera they do; you’ll be in the poorhouse if you do. But if you do, at least you’ll have good cameras to document your stay.

    Just two smug white dudes talking
    Started out great then got worse and worse. It used to be so informative. It used to be witty. It used to talk about the real joys of film. It used to do distinctive gear reviews (they often took credit for the IDOC effect on eBay). It used to be more than vapid glad handing. Nothing to hear here.
  • geedab
    Refreshing point of view in photography
    This is my goto morning walk podcast, learning more about photography and interesting discussion on a variety of subject matters.
  • toddfd
    The Car Talk of film photography
    Very fun, engaging conversationalists talking about what could otherwise be a very dry subject. And it’s like therapy, listening to people who share my obsession with classic cameras.
  • bhorn12000
    Great Podcast!
    This is an awesome podcast. If you like old cameras, film photography or anything related, I am sure you will enjoy this podcast. And even if you don’t, you might find it enjoyable to listen to as the hosts are very entertaining to listen to and their love of cameras and the connection they have with each other is very engaging.

    Best Of The Best
    Jeff & Gabe are great together they have fun on The Smash Hit Podcast and bring that fun to us listeners. If you want to listen to one of the top rated photography podcast this is definitely one of them.
  • Brent Tranchina
    A smash hit podcast!
    Listeners beware, if you didn’t have GAS before, you will after listening to each episode!
  • PJCtampa
    Makes the Voices Go Away
    I love this podcast! Jeff and Gabe are funny, exciting, and entertaining as they discuss cameras and photography. Do you want to know the difference between drill drivers and hammer drills? Well, this is the wrong podcast. Want to learn about classic film cameras? Then these two Hollywood insiders and icons are for you. 6 out of 5 stars.
  • Alanhp
    Would listen to the hosts talk about anything
    While I love cameras and photography I would listen to Gabe and Jeff talk about almost anything. They have a great rapport and don’t take themselves too seriously. I just wish they would do more than every three weeks.
  • nonickname129
    A tour de force in film photography…actually all …podcasts
    This is a hugely entertaining podcast and worth listening and binging them all! Their enthusiasm for cameras is contagious and my eBay wish list expands with each episode.
  • JeffryPittman
    Always informative and entertaining.
    Always a delight to listen to the latest IDOC podcast. If you love film cameras, you’ll enjoy this wonderful podcast. Thank you Gabe and Jeff!
  • Chrisna35
    Great listen
    Just found these guys. Entertaining and learning a lot.
  • ElkyKiss
    So much fun! SO informative!
    Love listening to these guys! They literally have so much knowledge and passion for film photography that it’s contagious. Definitely check it out!
  • Christina_217
    Fun film packed podcast!
    These two are a joy to listen to! They cover a huge array of film cameras. Highly recommend!
  • filmprofbear
    Listen with a pencil and paper
    Jeff and Gabe are a wonderful duo. Their style and banter makes this show entertaining while offering tidbits and insights on cameras and the loves and quirks of camera users. Every time I listen to a show I have notes or want to make comments, which causes me to go back and listen again to episodes.
  • Michael Carnell
    With an accent on film cameras
    Only found this show recently at the recommendation of some other, admirable but stodgy, photography podcasts hosts. This prodigious show is a an amazing mailbag overflowing with information, anecdotes, and real life camera addiction. Focusing in on each episode is like taking a tasty bite of the most delicious brisket sure to give you unavoidable but satisfying G.A.S. Don’t know if I Dream Of Cameras will ever be a hit at NY Fashion Week or make it as a TV sitcom, but it is sure to fit the bill for at least one of your many camera bags. Gotta say, I really Leica the show.
  • Whatsamotta
    So informative and entertaining
    I love listening to this show. I’m a photog novice and some of it I don’t totally understand (yet!) but they are so funny and smart and entertaining - it’s always a great listen.
  • BritHisBuff
    I like this show like Gabe likes Rolleis!
    Jeff and Gabe are natural podcasters. If vintage cameras of any kind are your thing you have to listen. The hosts know a lot about film gear but they don’t lord their knowledge like the Simpsons Comic Book Guy. The podcast is very friendly and approachable. It’s the kind of show you can enter anytime. Don’t feel like you have to start at the beginning, but you will want to go back and listen to them all eventually.
  • Father from the North
    Fun podcast!
    Why do I enjoy this? Occasionally I’ll learn something new, but not that often. So it’s not for it’s informational component. I guess i just really enjoy having a para-social friendship with two witty and enthusiastic fellow photographers. It’s fun.
  • Kerry Jeffrey
    Uplifting
    The guys really keep the fire burning for classic film cameras while maintaining a real world, upbeat show. My absolute favorite.
  • audioper
    All the Praise!!!
    This podcast is the highlight of my day when it comes out. Hearing from a pair of guys who are enthusiastic, excited, and friendly about film photography is a bright place in a world full of grumpy old men.
  • KentuckyTRI
    Simply the best
    Entertaining, informative, and so well produced. Gabe and Jeff enthusiastically share their passion for cameras of all kinds and the pursuit of photography. This is the best podcast about cameras and imaging, hands down.
  • C Timothy Floyd
    Fresh and Energetic
    In a world where dull and boring photography podcasts dominate the airwaves, where men and women listen at midnight to induce somnolence, where creativity is crushed and flattened by the drone of monotonous babble - two courageous men have risen to elevate discourse, amplify the fun factor and deliver humanity into a brighter future where all sentient beings, regardless of camera brand or film choice, can delight in the eloquence of their oration and proudly proclaim themselves to be… film afficionados.
