"Do not get that lens
You're welcome"
🤣🤣🤣
Well the jole is you could pick up all three versions of the efs18-55 ever made for about a 150$
.....same 18-55 that came with the others,like the 5,6,7,as part of the whole kit???
"It's like comparing cars and deciding which one can get to the grocery store faster" - this had me rolling on the floor laughing! Too funny. Great analogy though, but still hilarious.
Yeah that was pretty funny ... got the point across well too. 😂
It reminds me of people on motorcycle forums arguing nonstop about what brand is the fastest when not a single one of them could ever possibly take any of the bikes to their limits.
I still have my t2i. Works great.
Love the analogies, the overview clarity, the honest assessment of this camera and the market in generally. Superb. Thanks !
The Rebel series is so much fun. I’ve since moved on to M4/3 for better dedicated crop lenses and video features, but I learnt so much shooting my SL1&2 and my friend’s 70D. These cameras always fly off shelves as a sweet spot of price for beginners and photography students, as well as those needing a second body.
Great info
I love your reviews! You're helping lots of newbies like me..thanks.
These cameras sell because they get the job done.
Thank you for this! Super helpful as we try to decide on a camera
You explained this video so well, like the example you made.
Thanx Matti👍
LOL I like the warning in the beginning.. 😄Always on point with these cameras!
Great video, this was what I was looking for.
Outside of all the camera talk, your tip on ordering wine at restaurants is a true gem. Thanks for that! Haha! And while I considered getting the T8i for a long time (upgrading from an SL2 - 24fps _does_ mean something to me), I instead put a few more dollars up and copped a used C100, which I am absolutely loving. Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Very helpful video, thank you!
You have a wonderful channel. A group of friends and I have all been planning on doing a short movie, and taking great photos, and your channel has been immensely informative and helpful when deciding what camera/lenses I should be going for!
Such a great video I want to step up my quality on my stop motion animations so this really helped 😀
Really insightful content. Subbed.
I love my T8i. I have a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens and they work great with it.
Great video with more than enough information to make a choice on this camera!
Thanks for your review. I got a T7 a few months ago to get started and I've been happy with it. You validated my decision in the 9-minute area. Thanks for the details too, I'm a numbers person and definitely appreciate your details.
thank you, great perspective.
Love the metaphors 👌🏻
If you are strapped for cash and also happen to be a Canon fanboy do yourselves a favor and get the SL2 or 200d. It's much generously priced rn and doesn't scam you for a half ass 4k system. Got money to burn get the 90D. With my budget I got the SL3 and believe me the AF in 4K is pretty garbage(CDAF). M50 is a good option too if you are into that.
Great review, very helpful and informative 🙌
Great review! Thankyou! 😊
I’m still rockin’ the T1i...damn.
Me too, works fine
t3i pal here
Great review. Thank you.
I started off with the 650D, and I absolutely loved it. Paired it up with a 50mm 1.8 and that's what I learned on. Used it for years and I loved it.
Was there a difference between the EF & RF 50mm 1.8 lense ? Which one did u get ?
@@davidcapistran2832 No I just kept using the EF 50mm because it still just works perfectly even though it’s been through everything. I tested the RF version and there is a difference in image quality sure but nothing drastic.
I started with the same camera :) finally thinking to move to r6 mk2
thank you for the comparison to other objects "cars, wine" I was able to make the connections so much easier than other videos out there
Best review i watch yet. Thanks
I like your straight forward common sense way of reviewing cameras.
I'm still rocking my T3i and it's perfectly good for my amateur vacation pictures. I got a Tamron 18-400 lens that is amazing for it's versatility, a nice Canon macro lens, and a good Rokinon wide angle lens. I can take pretty much any beginner-level picture I want, but at some point, if I upgrade or need to replace my camera, I'm probably gonna stick with a Rebel :)
Thanks, I am upgrading from a T3i and being deciding for a while between the 90D and T8i.
I've seen several reviews on both and this is the one that really help.
Thanks

T3i here :)
Samesies
That was my first DSLR I gave it to my daughter. I use the 90D now and a 5D mark III. I actually love the 18-55mm kit lens that came with my T3i. I still use it on my 90D from time to time.
Schardt Cinematic Productions full frame! Nice!
My first cam
T2i enters the chat..
The Rebel line is a steal. You can get most of them super cheap used. You want to put your money into quality glass anyways, not a camera body. Put quality lenses on them and they are awesome.
Hi friend! I just found your channel! Amazing content! Keep it up! 👍
You have a very unbiased and analytical mindset.
You would be good as a Manager at any company you might work for.
Btw, your camera uploads are the best at explaining which camera offers which features.
Unbiased I agree👆🏽
great video .. on the consumer side .. thank you
T7i here and I love it still
💯about the kit lens.
Dang... now you got me thinking about the 90D... decisions, decisions... thank you my man!
Haha that warning notification on the kit lens tho
Excellent Video.
My T5i is still my back up photography camera. The Rebel series is reliable as hell
same here
Intending on getting this for a range of uses ie; studio,scenery and at sporting events...is it a good workhorse?
Sold my t5i back in 2017, i regret selling soo much
@@justus4331 sorry to hear that.
What kind of Camera do you have now?
@@egorxeke3465 my husband got the t8i 5 months ago for my birthday. So far so good! I love how it’s not too big and it is lighter compared to the t5i
Great review.
I have the 800d/t7i which is most often paired with a sigma 30mm f1.4. images are great.
I'm a beginner, and I found your video very easy to understand, with useful information. Thank you
I love that warning against buying that kit lens hahaha
mrksetn same!
As someone who bought their first DSLR in 2020 (a Pentax KP--same price as the T8i, and the kit lens is weather resistant, so not pointless!), I obviously think there's a place for fairly entry DSLRs. Basically, given phones, most folks don't need cameras to create images. What a camera offers is *process*. Manual control. Selection of lens (with a reach that phones can't match). But that's all true of Mirrorless as well.
DSLR over Mirrorless offers the physicality of an optical viewfinder. If I just have a mirrorless camera, and I'm looking at a digital screen, that's fine for creating an image. But the DSLR offers light--pure light through the lens delivered to my eye. While reflected by mirrors and prisms, it's not converted into electrons and twisted about by microprocessors.
If you're not going to enjoy the process, this probably isn't the right hobby for you. For me, looking through a real optical viewfinder just makes my eye happy.
NICE REVEAL
I have a t4i and it has been great. I have used it for both photography and video for all sorts of projects. The video is 1080p at 30fps. I still break it out for doing quick videos. They way I have it set up it produces a soft deep-color film look rather than harsh video. The result is kind of retro, which is very pleasing.
whats your settings?
very strong presentation. nice work
Nice to see someone reviewing a stills camera as a still camera rather than complaining continuously about the video specs. My only issue with the rebel line is the lack of Autofocus Micro Adjustment. Could be a real pain if you buy something like a 50mm 1.8 STM or 85mm 1.8. I've never actually experienced an AF misadjustment but I know it's a real possiblilty when purchasing a new lens.
I have a Rebel T6 (not T6i) as my first and only dslr I own, looks like this is perfect for me esp when taking this on a hike.
Awesome vid
Good for you in reviewing this type of camera because you are quite right, whatever the brand, the 'noise' is always about what are "Halo" products that very few people will actually buy or frankly need. The two DSLRs I use most are my 7D MkII and 5DS both of which are now 6 year old designs but I'm not a professional photographer and can get all I need from them and as I have the matching EF glass really don't feel tempted currently. Keep up the good work, like your output.
If you are interested to hear why I bought the 850D/t8i, it is pretty easy. I got into photography a year ago (and since half a year intensively). I first shot with a 4000D as an entry camera. I’m working up to more expensive cameras but as I’m not a professional the really good ones are too expensive. So what do you do? The 850D is a good stepping stone to find out what way I want to venture, do I like filming or rather take pictures, do I prefer sports photography or landscapes? Maybe I’ll go FF after this or a smaller upgrade after this. I’m pretty happy with this camera, when I upgrade I’ll sell the 850D for one that’d suit me better.
I would switch to a Sony a7r. Much better camera than most canons and its only 650 bucks
Great Video! At a $749.00 price new, frame only...Do you still think the T8i is a relevant camera in today's market?
Still use my 550D and have fun with it 😃
I can't find any difference between that camera and Rebel T5.
Struggling with T7i/SL3/T8i and this review was about as unbiased and objective as I have seen. Appreciate it. Love all the analogies :D I am a Toyota kind of guy.
I'm in a similar boat lol.
May I ask what you decided on, and why?
Me too
As a Rebel T7i user I appreciate your time to make this review
Right now I have. T2i, T7i and M6MK2. The T7i was the first in the T series with decent autofocus. Im keeping the T2i because of Magic Lantern.
I honestly can’t decide on a camera. I just want it for great photos for my Instagram business. 😞
I have the canon EOS M50 and I love it I wouldn't upgrade or downgrade to anything else
I just upgraded from my t6i to a 90d I don't regret it
90d is my first camera, switched from a smartphone, and I'm so happy with the camera!
@@CyberPunkSimms what kind of smartphone?
@@egorxeke3465 I used a OnePlus 7 Pro (with Pro Mode) wasn't the best, wasn't the worst :)
@@CyberPunkSimms Nice
@@egorxeke3465 yeah, it was an alright phone
I would be pretty tempted to get that camera if it had 30fps 4K. I'll definitely be looking into the 90D now, though.
Look at the 250D (SL3). It has cropped 4K but if you want to shave of the price a bit, thats a solid choice to go for if 4K is a must have. I have the one down, the 200D, and its a really solid but still really small camera and the footage out of it is great for its price range.
@@CasuallyTrash why would you recommend that from a 90d. A 90d is a much better camera, its not even a comparison
@@jeepjoseph9036 yeah I know it is but given that this was commented on a video about a budget oriented camera, I figured OP was trying to find a budget 4K camera so I recommended the 250D. The 90D is the dream APSC camera but it will also run you a fair bit more than the rebel lineup.
T8i here
i asked for a rebel t6i in 2018 lol. still working really nicely to this day though. although sometimes i wish i had asked for a t5i because magic lantern basically turns it into a cinema camera as far as im concerned
June 2020 and just bought a 2nd hand 5Dii, like brand new only 7k clicks... 2nd hand prices are now fabulous ... great value for money (just over £400).
I decided for something that has been heavily used by pro photographers over a prolonged time but still at a bargain price. This body is good enough for 95% of my needs, I used the 5Dii over a few weeks under various conditions such as low-light /sun /rain /indoors /outdoors etc and this 5Dii is still a VERY capable camera.
Since I'm mainly a stills-image shooter who shot for around 25 years (pre-digital as well) and I have very little interest in video, so I'm looking forward to use it for many years to come and even use it for some paid jobs.
I'm not shooting sports and don't need exceptional crazy frame rates. Auto focus is good enough if you use the center spot only and I also find RAW files up to ISO 3200 to be good enough to sell to wedding clients if you use good lenses (might need a SLIGHT noise reduction in Lightroom on a few occasions). Normally its only photographers who pixel-peep, clients are more focused on moments and emotions instead of technicality.
Also, try to put some outside perspective into our consumer society where we are tricked into getting new gear/upgrades all the time. It was not that long ago Professionals used EOS-D1 for their corporate work and created fantastic images displayed on large billboards. The list-price for D1 on release was around 6500 Dollars even though the resolution was a meagre 4 MegaPixel only, but still photographers managed to generate fantastic photos on such small resolution.
Some of the best + most historical images we seen are pre-digital, taken using a camera which literally was a box with a piece of glass in the front without any technology.
Today people are buying cameras that are more powerful than the computer that took humanity to the moon in the 1960s... AND they cost as much as a second-hand car!!!!
Even so, we often still see generic photos that could have been taken with any consumer camera.
That's the only real way to get into this hobby. But if everyone knows about this... Then there won't be any good cameras out there for the rest of us. 😄
Like I said for the 700$ or so needed to pick up an 850D. You could instead have a 5D Mark II, and a 70-200 L Series Lens. Non stabilized of course.
Honestly with the death of the DLSR, and Phones that can shot RAW, at as many 100s of Megapixels. I'm not sure brands like Canon, or Nikon even have a future. Other then in their lenses that is.
This camera is a workhorse. I did so much with the t7i. Def under-rated. Top recommendation for beginners and intermediate shooters
I have the T7i. I love it. Looks like the T8i is about the same with, I assume, the new processor so probably just as good or a little better. And nothing I know of tops the duel pixel auto focus!
I just bought a T8i upgrading from my old T6i (my 1st Rebel was the XTi) I have been shooting tethered with my T6i since 2017 and I had to ditch the cord and go wireless. I mainly shoot product photography and have a dedicated area w/continuous lighting and many backdrops. And I always order the best wine because I don't like "swill". Thanks for the video!
Honestly, after watching this review, I was still confused. I didn’t think he recommended this camera or didn’t for someone new to cameras. Also I wanted him to cover connection to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities
Still on my t5i and it sucks for shooting people outside😆
I still have a 400D, and with a good lens the pics are great.
You are damn right, DSLR is dead.
Yes but it still moves in my hand, for years I think
I own a T7i and it is great. I just wish I had held off on buying it with the expensive $450 dollar upgraded kit lens. Would have bought a Sig17-55 a and a Nifty for fun. However, the 18-135 is all I have so I have made the best of it. I have noticed that the more I use it and practice the better my images turn out. Love the cam.
Just bought mine today 😍
How do you like it?
@@egorxeke3465 it’s okay for a beginner but if you know how to edit pictures you’re really gonna love this camera
@@lmtki5981 Yeah I'm not a professional photographer but love to take pictures, do you recommend me any editing programs or photoshop?
@@egorxeke3465 prequel, Lightroom, Adobe Lightroom and photoshop
@@lmtki5981 Thanks I will be looking them up, I need them for portrait.
Good job bro..nice review
I only found out today that this camera exists.
T5I owner here. Still very happy with mine.
Just sold my T6 to get the T5i, and so glad I did.
I'm not a professional photographer but I use my camera to shoot product, lifestyle, portrait and video--I've been using a T3i since 2013 (it was old then) and finally have hit a point where I can upgrade. I really appreciate this non-judgmental review that makes it clear that while this isn't the most fantastic, professional level, fancy camera out there--it will totally work for what I need, and it has great features for someone who is working the way I do, and when I'm ready to upgrade again, I'll watch your reviews first! Thank you.
That's good to hear! Have you upgraded yet?
@@egorxeke3465 yes I bought the t8i and it is perfect for the work I do!
@@hannahbelleknits That's awesome! Do you have a website page where I can see your work? I just bought a T8i today as well, I'm not a professional photographer but love to take pictures.
@@egorxeke3465 yes! You can check me out on IG as @hannahbelleknits and I also have a video on my channel, and my website is www.hannahthiessen.com - I have also done some video work for Knomad yarns and I think you’d find that on their site or IG feed.
@@hannahbelleknits Awesome I will be checking out your work! I bet you are really good at it.
I have T2i, works just great. I bought canon m10 for 150$ for portability.
So... in short. It's dope!
The T4i was my first DSLR. Shot some nice pics and lots of great video with it. I didn't even know there was a t8i. The m50 is a much better value, but I can understand that it may be somewhat hard to hold for some.
their i series are really good. the t3i i had since 2013 still takes very nice photos like it's brand new
Ive been shooting with 600d since 2010, when I got the GH4 I still use the 600D to date. 1080 is not created equally but heck, youtube can only accept 8mbps for 1080p
Awesome now i can afford the t3i
still using the SL2, even though I've only had it for about a year and 9 months, it's been very reliable
I think I will get the t8i for a second camera body when doing wildlife photography
What will be your choice if you compare it with Fujifilms XT 30 ? Please suggest, Thanks
The T5i (700D) is so popular, and yes I have one, that you can still get a brand new full function battery grip (Neewer) for it.
do yourself a favor guys...this camera should be cared for...here is why - unlike it's predecessor -it has 800 not 600 pics per battery charge, it also has a better processor (ie better in low light/less noise) in addition I don't think the t7i has bluetooth but the t8i does{am I right?} also lighter than the 80d or 90d and cheaper....do wish the t8i had 120 fps and a headphone jack -my 2 cents
I just ordered the sl 3 but now I’m thinking this is better?
How is the video? Does it shoot in 4K? Is there a time limit for shooting continuous videos? Thanks
I started on a T2i because my favorite animator Kirsten Lepore used it, then I went to T6i, I will still buy this just because it’s so important to me as a tool of creative growth, even though I have Sony A7RIII
Hi, What lens do you recommend?
bro what canon camera would you recommend for blogging?
Between the t7 and t8 are they pretty much the same for picture quality? Don’t care for the video just want some nice looking pictures. Was thinking of buying a used one .
I'm between the T8i and the 90D my only issue with T8i is like you said it won't focus on a face when recording. I hate how they can't put everything on one. This video was helpful.
They did that for the same reason Nikon took away features from the d7500: it won't compete with the higher end cameras like the d500
