Kai’s departure from DigitalRev—news we shared earlier today—has made some pretty big waves throughout the photo industry. Where will photo lovers go for their slightly inappropriate, kind of funny, sometimes annoying camera reviews now!? No worries, Kai’s got you covered.
As we mentioned earlier, the former host of DRTV isn’t done with photography, cameras, or camera gear. In fact, since leaving DigitalRev, he’s already released his first camera review on his personal YouTube Channel.
The review covers the odds and ends of the mirrorless Canon EOS M5, a camera Kai calls “the first Canon mirrorless camera worth owning,” and it features the same goofy style many have come to love (and some, no doubt, hate) from Kai.
If anything, that signature style is more potent now that it’s just Kai putting this content together. With nobody helping him film and no Lok there to balance him out a bit, it all feels so charmingly amateur… while still clearly made by someone who knows what their schtick and how to create content his audience will want to watch.
Check out the full EOS M5 review up top. Whether you’re more interested in the camera itself or the newly-solo Kaiman Wong is irrelevant, you’ll get a decent overview of both.

I dunno, in this video I can’t help but imagine he’s constantly thinking “be more Top Gear! be more Top Gear!” I wish him well anyway, he maybe needs to find a new “voice” now he’s not part of DRTV.
Love Kai, BUT is it just me or has the quality of the sound gotten muddy? This new production’s sound is on the level of annoyingly hard to understand.
Kai is just funny. If you just want to laugh, watch him. If you expect some technical and accurate reviews of camera gear look elsewhere.
His review of the Canon 300mm f/4L and 100-400mm MkI gave a new meaning to measurebation! Good luck dude!
Best of luck. Very entertaining.
I love Kai, and will surely follow his new channel. He is the reason I watched drtv
Yeah, same here. He comes off pretentious if you haven’t seen him before but when you realize he is extremely sarcastic he ends up being pretty funny. I don’t think Lok can do DRTV by himself, his reviews are fine but his broken english and terrible jokes are almost unbearable; it seems like he tries way too hard to be funny.
I think they’re banking on Warren being the new Kai. I love Lok, though. He’s so goofy and I can’t tell if he really thinks he’s funny or not.
