Canon T7i Review and why you shouldn't buy it

  • I've been using the Canon Rebel T7i for a few months for videography and vlogs and I can truly say it's a great camera. But, there are better options. It's the first Canon Rebel with Dual Pixel Autofocus which is fantastic, but it lacks 4k and if you're okay with that the Canon SL2 is basically the same camera...but smaller and cheaper.
    I'll compare the T7i with the Canon SL2 as well as my previous camera the Panasonic Lumix G7. I'll also show you HDR, Digital Stabilization, and Digital Zoom and the awesome Dual Pixel Autofocus from the T7i.

  • @oldengguy
    @oldengguy Před 11 měsíci +2

    Nice video. Here in 2023 I can say I have a T7i that I use every day as my online merchandise photography camera. I also have the 80D, 77D (a spiffed up T7i), and the SL2 that I have bought for a lot less than new prices; some at ridiculously low prices. I have tried them all, and found that the T7i was the best for my product photography for a few reasons. While all of these have WiFi, I've decided that I don't like that, and would rather just connect the camera with a long USB cord, and have it run Canon EOS Utility, such that every photo I take almost instantly gets saved to a directory in my computer where I want it. All four of these can do it. The SL2 has the connection on the other side of the camera, so it does not interfere with the movement of the tilt screen. Unfortunately the other three are affected. I liked the 80D's "C1" and "C2" settings that allowed me to program in my settings for tripod and handheld photography for easy switching between, but I found I could get it close enough to ideal with Av on the T7i. I shoot both photos and videos of my products, so I want one camera that meets both needs. The 80D will not record in VGA light, which works best for my quick videos that need to be small files. That leaves the best to be T7i, 77D, and SL2. 77D has some nice features that are useful, including a locking mode dial and a thumb control wheel on the back, but they are not of great use in how I use it. It is just as good, but almost too good. The SL2 is so nice and small that it is easy to take on trips, and it is possible to get nicer shots. The T7i came in a junk lot because the flash doesn't work, but I don't use the flash for my product photography, and the camera was effectively free, which makes it nice. I don't care about the lack of the thumb wheel because I just set the aperture at small aperture for good depth of field and leave it there. Unfortunately the newer 18-55mm F/4 STM lens is not good for close focusing, so I use an older 18-55mm F/3.5 STM lens. That works great.

    You can use back button focusing which will cause the camera to lock focus. Also you can lock auto exposure when you have back button focus by half-pressing the shutter button, or by just setting it to manual mode.

  • @cooloox
    @cooloox Před 6 lety +5

    Nice camera review. I have some good news for you, there is a focus lock to temporarily stop AF from changing, without using the AF/M switch on the lens. The t7i has an icon on the screen for servo AF. Servo AF is continuous AF. Tap it to momentarily stop continuous AF and tap it again to turn continuous (servo) AF back on. That's the focus lock you are looking for. You can turn it on and off during recording.

    • @TheSearchForAwesome
      @TheSearchForAwesome  Před 5 lety +1

      A little but digital stabilization isn't magic, if you're camera isn't at least a little steady it can only help so much. I think you'd be fine with the SL2 honestly. Hope that helps!

    • @TheSearchForAwesome

      I've never used a Nikon camera, but honestly any of those sound like a great start. I'd recommend the SL2 and maybe get a nice lens like the 50mm 1.8. that is really nice for bokeh shots

    Wow! The camera takes great video quality and photo. I’ve been torn between getting a 4K camera vs a Full HD. My main use is for videos, So I’ve been researching the Panasonic G7 and GH4 to the Canon T7i. This video was very helpful in terms of comparison.

    • @youandican2

      The T71 is made for the US market and the 800D is for the European market. Other then the slight difference in price it is the same camera. You may find thought that the warranty coverage is different, because of the different markets.

    hi! i'm looking to get either the t7i or the sl2, but I am worried about the 9 point autofocus on the sl2. I do lots of action and sports photography for my high school, so do you think that the t7i would be better for that kind of photography instead of the sl2?

    • @TheSearchForAwesome

    • @TheSearchForAwesome

  • @UnratedAwesomeness
    @UnratedAwesomeness Před 6 lety +12

    The weirdness in the leaves is an effect of two things:
    1. Canon DSLR image is usually not very sharp. Its been argued that these cameras actually shoot sub 1080 because of how soft the video quality is. I've used BMPCC and own a C100, both are 1080 but produce more detail.
    2. In camera sharpening. Unless you adjust the picture profile, the camera will try to sharpen the image, that is to say it will look for tiny contrasty areas and add more contrast. Leaves on trees are a perfect example. They're small and the background is a bright sky. Therefore the camera processor will see the contrast between the darker leaf and bright sky and boost the contrast. (note the abundance of black areas on the leaves and very thin white trim around the trees -- thats the contrast).
    The solution is the custom "Prolost" picture profile. Go to custom picture profile > use Neutral > turn contrast all the way down, sharpness to 0 and saturation down a little bit. This will give you softer looking video but less of that gross sharpening. It doesn't look awful unsharpened, but sharpening it in your editing software will get that sharpness back and with less grossness (it just does it better). Hope that helps! Great video!

    • @TheSearchForAwesome
      @TheSearchForAwesome  Před 6 lety

      +UnratedAwesomeness thanks for sharing! So if I reduce sharpness, it will help?

    • @UnratedAwesomeness
      @UnratedAwesomeness Před 6 lety

      Yes it will! Like I said it will look softer until you sharpen in Premier or FPCX. If you don't have one of those, maybe keep the sharpening to 1 to give a little crispness without post work...

    Picked up an SL2 with the 10-18, kit 18-55, 55-250 (all certified refurbished), macro 35 2.8, and Yongnuo 50 1.8. I have a huge range of lenses now from 16-400 35mm equivalent, with extra primes for great low-ish light use. All this for the price of a higher end APS-C body. Super happy with it for stills and video. If Parker Walbeck can shoot cinematic footage with it using non-pro accessories, anyone can with practice. I've been playing with ProLost and Cinestyle profiles, but either way, soft or not, it's good enough for most people. I feel like I'll get a LOT of use out of this setup. Budget lights, tripod, sliders, etc. can be bought with the extra money saved on the body, so having spent a good amount of money to cover every single base one could need, I can focus on getting better.
