I like the fact that you got straight to the point. Thank you because most people lose me in 15 seconds cause I lack patience. I watched the whole video.
I liked this camera so much, that I bought a second body. If you choose your lenses wisely, you can rival lengths of a full framed camera, i.e. a 28mm (X 1.6 =44.8mm) would be your 50 mm, and your 50mm (X 1.6=80mm)would be your portrait lense! It's an excellent camera for both vudeography & photography!
T7i (800d) was my first camera since high school for about 4 years and still is today, I got into photography back when my father bought a t6i (750d) back in Vietnam. Now when I started to study in the US, my hobby gets more curious when I got my own Canon DSLR. I took this thing starting with a 18-55mm kit, 55-250mm, and 50mm f1.8 throughout all the seasons in Minnesota, even outside in the snowing winter, I just gotta be extra careful to take out SD card and battery everytime I go into warm place! It still working perfectly as I hone my skill, making great memories and art. And yes upgrading your lens will worth 10x more than upgrading body because it can expand your skill than an expensive body of which I got myself a 70-200mm f4 is and 16-35mm f4 is, and kept my nifty 50 . I might think of the 90d as an upgrade but this is forever my favorite camera and definitely a great way to start transitioning to pro-grade camera when possible. I myself still have skeptical of mirrorless since they are electronic and pop up more issue than mechanical.
As a beginning photographer, the T7i camera does what I need it to do. Still like using the 18-55mm kit lens that came with it. I also budgeted the 50mm, 24m prime along with the 10-18mm wide angle. I added the 55-250mm tele after I read the reviews. All told these inexpensive lenses cover just about everything I need without breaking the bank. Thanks for info regarding the flash setting. What a pain that was..lol
The worst part about starting with the T7i is that when you finally go to upgrade, you have to really spend some money. The 80d is an upgrade, but mostly for being better built and weather resistant. So the next step up is really a 7d Ii or a 90d. And when you go to buy uhs 2 SD cards, you get smacked with some pricey cards. On the other hand you may move up to full frame. And then only your EF lenses can be used. A 6D isn't cheap either, but less than moving into the R line. I love slr's and dslr's, and so I have a T7i . But also a 5D and a 6D. But to upgrade my T7i, I will get a 90D, and that's pricey. The T7i could be the best aps-c camera you ever own, and you won't regret it. But do get some lenses for it. The kit lens is not top quality and if you want better photos, you will upgrade this lens. As far as the 1.6 crop, if you want wide, there are plenty of lens choices for asp-c at 18mm and below. I love my Sigma 16mm. And aps-c EF-S lenses cost less than full frame EF lenses.
Thank you so much for this!! I've been watching tons of videos trying to compare the canon m50 and the rebel t7i and I couldn't come to a decision but this video helped me decide!! Awesome video!
I have and like this camera. I use it for photography and with a good lens and knowledge of photography I've been able to produce really nice images. I've found it's more about the photographer than the gear. The t7i with a lens upgrade and good skills one can produce professional images.
I'm looking to get my first camera mostly for photography but I want to also get into cinematography would you say it's a good purchase? I do have experience with taking pictures but its just with my phone and I can't get that to really focus the same way and I'd really just like to up the quality on my photos
I wouldn't consider this an ideal choice for video, but any of the cameras that perform better for video also cost more. My camera for video is a Sony ZV E10, and there are better cameras out there than this, it's just the prices. For good video you need great tracking, and Canon cameras can do it, but a used 80D would be a better choice, or if you could swing it a 90D. But both cost more. And you still need lenses. A mirror less camera will almost always beat a DSLR for video. So look at the R series. If you're only shooting a few short clips on vacation, then the DSLR cameras can probably fill the bill, but if you want to make documentaries or short films, go mirror less and make life easier. I started with range finder cameras and when I moved up to an SLR I was in heaven. Being so stuck in my ways, I love DSLR cameras, and just can't get into mirror less for photography. Video I chose the Sony because of their auto focus, tracking, size, weight and price. If the R series Canon cameras and lenses were a better price I would have went with one of the R cameras for video.
I’ve had this camera for 2 and a half years as my first cam and I still use it. Bought the 70-200 iii (you get more confidence and hire) and now I’m waiting till Black Friday to buy a mirrorless cam
@@Ann-se7bz Eos r6 (which I saved up for now) but I was thinking I’m probably gonna need to build a better computer to Handel the 4K and h265 files format. That’s if I can find an rtx 30 series gpu.
Thank you for this! All the videos so far that I’ve seen say the T7 isn’t a good option but this has changed my opinion. Might be the first camera I purchase just to get started!
Autofocus is *very* sensitive to what lens you're using. The 18-55 IS 2 that comes with the T7 and T7i sucks. Swap on a different lens, like the 18-55 IS (1, the OG) and it's way way better. A higher quality lens will also yield major improvements.
This was just shot with some cheap limostudio softbox bulb light, actually! The window is properly exposed because it was a cloudy day outside. Nowadays I use a Smallrig RC220D as my key light, and it has plenty of power to match the window even on sunny days.
I bought this camera 3 years ago almost 4, and I have not gotten a new lens than the kit lens that came with it. I am finally getting a better lens as I don’t have the money to buy a better full frame as opposed to this crop Sensor camera. I would love to buy a canon r 5 and even better the r3 but don’t have the money.
Get good glass first. R glass is much higher priced than used EF-S glass. And adapting lenses gets old fast, plus some R series cameras down grade their performance when not used with native glass. The T7i is a great camera, especially for the price, but the kit lens holds it back. A good prime 24mm lens is not too expensive and will inspire your love for the T7i. A good 24-70 is lens, f/2.8 if you can afford it, will make your T7i perform like you never thought it could. Yes these lenses can cost more than the camera, but cheap glass on the best body won't take as good a picture as good glass on a cheap camera body. And equipment is only half of the recipe for a good picture. The other half is the photographer.
Thank you for this it has really helped, can you reiterate about the cropping, I didn't quite understand. I want a camera for shooting videos in the Everst region in Nepal.
Hello could you please help me figure out what may have happend to my t7i? Well I dropped it from my upper waiste as I was trying to screw it back on my ringlight. However as it fell it hit my knee/leg first then hit the ground. Now there is blur around the edges of the frame. & the focus doesn’t work as before. You think it might be the whole dslr or just the Lens? 😓
Kit lens (18-55) should be fine for tiktoks/reels. It depends on the content you make but phone cameras can sometimes even be better than pro cameras for vertical content. Regarding vertical shooting- just hold the camera sideways to make a vertical frame and then rotate 90° in post :)
The overheating isnt an issue until you get to 4k 60fps. But it is a pain there. I would still buy it now because it’s perfect for anything up to 4k 24fps, and it’s an excellent still camera. The use cases I wouldnt recommend it for are wedding or product videography cause those rely on high framerates
can you please help me choose between 250D and T7i? Even if we ignore the 4k capability it lasts for 1000+ shots while this one lasts for 600+ shots only. I'm super confused.
Are you willing to donate it ever? I’m a volunteer firefighter in Florida and would love to make fire prevention videos. If not, I still appreciate your time making this video.
Settings change depending on the circumstances of the shoot and what look I’m going for… it’s something that has to be altered basically every time I set up a new shot
I havent had the r6 ever overheat or even give a warning but I dont push it very hard. Most of my youtube videos I record in 1080p just because editing 4k footage (even with proxies) on my computer is a nightmare
@@JosephMartin I’ve had the T7i since 2017 and it is amazing. I just returned the m200 because it overheated after 15 mins. Looking to us T7i for streaming. Great video man. New sub here. Do you recommend any camera for live stream?
Thanks for your support! Im not a streamer so i dont know the best cameras for that, but if the T7i is capable then i would just use that since you already have it!

if you have problem with focus and going around just increase ur aperture iso and shutter speed to compensate your focus

I try!
Was expecting to see a video or photo from the camera
What would be a good wide angle lens for this camera? Im worried ill get one thats not wide enough to make up for the crop sensor in the camera :(
What lens are you using for the t7i , the one with the red ring around it? thanks .

I have a T7, is this much of an upgrade for video?
Not in this day and age. I’d go for one of the newer mirrorless options like the r10

overall the 250d is a better camera. The T7i just has faster burst and can usually be found for a larger discount than the 250d because its older
What is the best camera for $400
If you can, bump the budget up to $450 and get a Canon t7. Sony makes good cams too but I dont know anything about them
What lens did you use on the t7i for video?
Are you willing to donate it ever? I’m a volunteer firefighter in Florida and would love to make fire prevention videos. If not, I still appreciate your time making this video.
If the t7i has bad autofocus and no 4k the t7 is like 400$ cheaper and most likely the same apart from the flip out screen
