i don't like youtube clips made with computer software. Can you guys recommend youtube channels devoted to flamenco guitar where clips are recorded exclusively with video cameras ?

What do you mean?
Can you post an example of the type of video you mean?
Maybe I'm lucky as I don't come across such videos. The only ai generated voice/text videos I've seen are youtube shorts. Quick hit, poisonous content designed to maximize clicks and profit.
I've never seen any serious flamenco tutorial videos like this.
Unless of course you mean something else.
What kind of thing are you hoping for? Just solo guitar performances? Or tutorial videos/online classes?

Thanks for sharing those Videos. Yeah ok I see what you mean. You don't want any effects added. Fair enough.
Are you watching all these videos to find guitars you might like to buy?
The ones you say you like are marketing videos. And the ones you don't like are just dudes who are recording their playing, not showing off the guitar, but to show off their skills.
So why not search for guitar makers and then once you have a list search for their channels on youtube.
How long have you been studying flamenco guitar? Do you have a guitar currently?

Cel phone camera video tech has improved a lot, to the point the sound is highly processed compared to what you are thinking. Mainly compression is used, built in with no option to suppress it. Some filters are even using noise reduction, however, since it is not practical always to put the camera (mic attached) in an optimal position (like the mics placed that you ironically don’t prefer), you have a guitar sound mixed in with ambient noise. You wrongly believe that this will give you a truer guitar sound, and should be careful making your purchasing decisions on this aspect.

Rafapak what's your first language?
polish. Yesterday after talking to people who work at london guitar studio I was told that they are brother and sister (lady and man were working there yesterday) and that their grandparents were born in Poland. Their grandparents lived in a city 15 kilometers from my home city. What a coincidence !

London Guitar Studio are vastly overpriced. I've been looking for certain guitars that they also had and tried to sell the same thing 2k above the "normal" price. They also don't have many guitars to choose from (judging by their website), at least not proper luthier made ones - and I couldn't care less about the "brands". Rafa you've been advised many times that Spain is the place to go if you want to buy a guitar, you're wasting your time and money with basically anywhere else except for the two or three bigger guitar dealers around Europe with great selection.
