Pls your reflections on the gh5mk2 for vlogging. Intended by Pana for this purpose, but not on your list. For myself I am not that much or deep in this CD/FD battle. I am good with the AF/CD or MF with peaking and AF ON when needed. I am asking for your honest reflections on this vlog cam, pls. Thank you. Frans, from the Netherlands.
The best camera for beginners starting off in CZcams is their phone to be honest. It takes care of the basics with little to worry about and has manual controls.
Solid point
@@ThinkMediaTV Still making my way through the video because it is long... lol. I seen the Chase Jarvis line part. I remember when he said that. But yes, I started doing CZcams and the phone was my best friend. I have a DSLR but it was so much easier to just buy a plug-in mic, a phone bracket (for the tripod I have), and start recording. Truth is cell phone mics are not half bad to begin with if you do not have an external mic. But you also now get varying camera options on modern phones so you can go normal, wide, tele in the middle of the video shoot. You can even pause (I hear this is an android thing) and adjust your scene and press continue and keep recording (I use this a lot). It is just so easy. I will eventually take my time to test out the DSLR but for now I just upgraded my phone (from a S10 to S23 Ultra) for better low light and quality. I also purchased little hand size lights that fit on mini table tripods for extra light (to battle the smaller sensor issue compared to DSLRs). So it all works and is easy.
3 years into my CZcams journey. . 36k subscribers later I’m still using my phone and most people can’t even tell when they see my videos
@@mrflickswatches Awesome!
@@mrflickswatches subbed !
Sean! Thank you for this! I have been following and learning from your and your team for many years!
Big hug for your and your team!
For all creators here, I know it can be frustrating and overwellming at the begining (and later too) not only for the creative power pushing us to share, but also for the limitations on cash, content ideas, and ALL THE NEW SKILLS WE NEED TO LEARN etc. I started "seriously" my content creation just one year ago using 99% my cellphone and a clip mic, and sometimes a second old cellphone my wife won't use any more. Now I am in a stage of NEW CHANNELS, new content and ready for the next level of creation. It takes time. Be patience.
The most important thing now is to create positive content aligned with your passions. This is the real trend and what we need to create more.
Use what you have!
and improve on the way :)
Wow! The comparison charts are just what I was looking for. This is best, most informative and fundamental video on this subject that I could find. Thank you.
your list is spot on with literally similar list we came up with a few weeks ago as well.
Awesome!! Thank you so much, I needed this video. I truly appreciate your advice Sean! 🤗
Think Media videos are truly terrific. Great work Sean!
This was right on time. As always, fantastic content. Thank you!
Wow, so much amazing info and I love how you organize the video and give me questions to think about when researching. Thanks for the hard work that went into this video
the best guide on cameras that ever existed. 10x respect to the author for doing this live
WHAT a great video. Breaking down everything for those out there that don't know anything about cameras this really is good info. I am only 25% of the way into the video.
I would love to see a video by someone that talks about buying USED equipment for streaming - so there are cameras you can buy used that are way cheaper than buying a new low end camera. Anything to avoid a "webcam".
Needed this video ‼️Thank you
This guide is excellent. I've been using Sonys for years, but I sold all my equipment. Now I'm at a new company and I need to build up a camera package proposal and this is so helpful! Thanks Think.
Hey Sean this video , regardless how many views , is crucial for those of us who have just got started and all this info to start a channel . That being said for all who are serious about it, needed this course.
Thank you for this, Sean. Incredible job filtering and synthesizing all this super-confusing information. 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's a lot of information. Trying to be as helpful as possible. 🙏
Thanks again for your videos. Has helped me out a lot on my channel.
Sean I noticed you mentioned the Canon R50 had very limited use of lenses, which is only partially true. With an adapter (Canon’s at $99) all the Canon EF lenses become available for this camera too. I use my adapter and the EF 10-18mm for my vlogging and the results have been awesome. Also, the Canon RF 16mm isn’t the only option for use on still video. For that I use my Canon 24mm mostly but have used my Canon RF 18-150 as well. There are plenty of different ways to do this and there’s no doubt the possibilities will grow in the future. No one should be afraid to go with Canon but I do favor starting with the R10.
Thank you for the helpful information!
Just picked up a 2nd Sony ZV-E10. Love it!
This video was super helpful. As a new channel that started 6 months ago and looking to buy my 1st camera this video was huge on knowledge. Big thanks !!!! Still lots to learn so will be watching more of your content
Thanks for the guide. Gets me up to speed quickly.
Just started a youtube channel, using old gear I had. Nikon D500 with 30mm f1.4 and Canon 200D MK i with 24mm f2.8.
Currently have Sony A7s IV penciled in for when I can afford it after it comes out. With limited space, full frame makes more sense and being able to record in 4k provides the option to crop in on videos or downscale for sharper quality. Backup plan is a Canon R8 or just the Sony A7s III.
Best video I’ve watched on this topic. Thx for the details and recommendations.
This content is amazing. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the info and jumping into the video without all the bull crap. I subscribed and will watch other videos you have. Great job!
This video was what I was looking for. It covers everything you need to know about purchasing your next camera. Kid you not I’m waiting on a ride to got to Best Buy to grab the EZ-E10.
wow...thank you for this video. i'm starting to shoot some videos and the information i gained was mind blowing. thank you for putting this together, truly appreciated.
Always good stuff!
This is by far out of all the videos I have seen one of the best.
I am learning so many things from you, Thank you!!
Awesome, breakdown Sean, thank you. I thought I had what I needed from the podcast, but dang, this was a whole different level of info.
Glad this was valuable 🙏🏻💯
Thank you for this great informative masterclass. I know nothing about cameras and videography, but now and because of you I know what to buy. From now on I'm one of your channel followers.
I was all set to buy new camera. Just overwhelming choices now, gotta do a think on this. Thanks for the class!
The biggest game-changer is lighting. Its okay if you don't spend as much for a camera. Instead get soft lights for the rig with the money saved!
this is complete. Thx!
Thanks for the great information. I got started almost 3 years ago with a Camcorder (Canon VIXIA HF R800) and I do not regret my decision. $300 for the camcorder w/ memory card, and another $300 for basic mics, softbox lights, and a few other items got me started. A camera is on my future purchase list, but for a hobby channel making $40 per month, $2K for a camera and lens is hard to justify. I still would not put "video quality" in my top 5 areas I want to fix to grow my channel.
Clear and concise
Very informative, I'll see you on another video. Thanks. Going to make some videos with phone first, then more training, I don't know how to get a channel yet.
Great info. Thank you
Great content as always 👍 I have the equipment, but have big problems getting great picture and sound 😂
Thanks for the information 😃
Very helpful and informative content. Thank you very much 🙂✌️
Wow, great job! I learned a lot!
I think the most important point that spoke directly to me, just starting out and thinking about my first attempt at creating content, is that I need to think closely about the non-negotiables. I'll be making technical content within a controlled environment. But I need to be able to go from shots covering (roughly) a drafting table viewpoint down to visualizing tiny microelectronics circuitry. My tentative take-away is that the lens is the starting point for me -- likely a macro-zoom such as the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II and let things fall out from there. It would be nice to rent one before buying. (I doubt that's happening.) Anyway, thanks. Regardless of your own choices, what all this time taken to make this video have given me is myriad questions to ask myself and also a lot of different technologies and their variations. It's just what I needed at this time, I think. Thanks!
Lots of great info here!
Great video, thanks!
Watching videos while I wait for mine to come. Pairing it with the Tamron 28-75 g2. Can't stand waiting, everything but the bodies arrived.
Thanks al lot 👌🥰
"Think" Media is true to its name with amazing shows like this!
🙏🏻💛
Great video!
Many years ago, I had a panasonic lumix _waterproof_ camera. It had a *super past full off to taking the 1st shot time,* I left burst mode enabled, and it fit easily in most pockets. It was great. I'd take it hiking, rafting, bouldering, you name it. It did the *take anywhere / always ready* so well.
My aunt had the non-waterproof version that instead was able to mount lenses. Each has their purpose, but I felt like I had much more use/utility than she got out of hers.
I've missed that camera ever since it got stolen. I've been considering buying something like that again.
Thanks
Thanks. Very good job
Thank Sean for making a layman like myself understand what I need in a new camera. I'm thinking of purchasing the SONY ZV-E10 to film my YT videos and for filming my videos for my online courses.
Glad this was helpful Lorraine!
Great choice. And the Sony ZV-E10 is at it lowest price ever right now.
We have more good information here 👉🏻courses.seancannell.com/think-tech-guide-2023
Great content as always ❤❤
Great video! Thank you :)
Thanks!
30 million views on YT in the first year from a IPhone 12 Pro Max and a Canon M50 (and not even the mark II)
IMO spend money on the lighting and mic vs the camera year 1
Now I am shopping for a 4k camera full frame as I am making money off YT, and I am not going to spend stupid money as that would be dumb.
Grow as you make money.
I love my M50!
I checked your channel and there's no way you're even close to 1M views.
@@allthecommonsense You might want to check again
Thanks great content
Loved this review. I just purchased the ZV E10 for Black Friday. I record CZcams videos of me creating jewelry and I also take photos of my jewelry. I'm pretty excited.
Great choice 🔥💯
@@ThinkMediaTV thanks for all yall do 🥰
Great content
Thanks for the feedback and for watching!
Great content Sean, thank you for explaining the advantage of having an hybrid camera, to be able to do video and photography. The Sony Alpha 7 IV seem a good choice for us.
Glad it was helpful!
A7 IV is a great choice 🔥🔥
You’re set
Thank you, just,,,, thank you.
@sean you are a real videographer lol I am a former videographer myself and I definitely understood every last thing you said lol knowledge I haven't taped into in a long time
Smashed like
Thanks for the video! Which camera do you recommend between the Sony ZV1 and the Sony ZV 1F for videos on CZcams where I play the guitar and for some holiday photos?
I haven’t even finished watching the whole video and I wish I could have watched yours specifically before I bought a camera. I’m still happy though because I got the Canon R50 which I’ve heard really good reviews on it!
Sean, Yes, a tonne of content and really detailed information that I found myself rewinding and rewatching a few times to really understand your points matching and understanding your points inline with my queries/questions about what I thought/think I need. Basically as a life coach with a private practice, I am stepping up to continue making content, but better quality than i currently make through my iPhone and start a podcast from my home practice, which is basically set up full time for coaching. From the information garnered from this video, I think the Sony ZVe-10L, with the Sony SEL50F18F full frame 50mm lens and the ECM G1 shotgun mic, this set up would be a great, long term for me to continue making content and podcast material. I may need to add an SD card and a few cables but do you think this would be a great shout for what I want? I'm in the UK and can get this for under a 1000 pounds, which is around 1200 dollars. Thank you in advance for you video and tips.
Great vid as usual! :)
Of these... which would be the vest one for photos as well? No Canon on the list for pro cams?
Hi Sean, this was such an impactful video. The note on audio peaked my interest as I've been using a Logitech webcam but just upgraded to a hand-me-down Nikon D3400. I was able to figure out the capture card and clean HDMI (via streamyards) but was having some issues with audio. My question is, do you think the built-in mic is suffice or would my usbc ShureMV7 be the best bet?
The reason I ask is because I wasn't able to access the ShureMV7 w/ the Nikon D3400, the same way I'd be able to when previously using the webcam. I fussed w/ audio in StreamYards and in the Settings but may need to retry a couple more times. I noticed the D3400 doesn't option a shotgun mic, so I wanted to know what reccomendations you'd suggest.
Hi Sean, I loved the video, thanks for giving so many tips. You talked a lot about filming with the camera still and in this style of video where only the person appears. In this case, I film recipes, with me appearing in the video at times. To have this blurry background effect in the case of recipe videos, which camera do you think is best? My budget isn't the best because everything is very expensive in Brazil, I could at most go up to the Canon R50.
Glad it was helpful!
I think the conversation comes down to Sony ZV-E10 vs canon r50.
Re listen to all my thoughts around the 1 hour mark. 🙏🏻
Hope they gives some clarity.
informative camera content.
Thanks John. Appreciate you. Happy holidays!
Amazing content 👌👌👌
Awesome video
would love to see a review on the Fuji XS-20
Thanks for the great content.
Insta360 Ace Pro and DJI Pocket 3 look so good that I can not make a decision: a second dslr (+my old friend Sony a7m3) or one of the abovementioned cams?
Any comments are welcomed.
This was a great video! Thank you. Questions, please on the Sony ZV-1: I have a Shure MV7 mic. Can I hook it directly to the camera? Is there a USB port so, I can take the recorded video and transfer it my Windows PC? Thanks again.
Top ten
Pocket 3!
I have a question regrading lighting and cameras.
Currently I record with a Logitech Brio webcam in 1080p, 30 FPS (not high def). For my lighting I have two SpectroLED SP-E-3600 Essential 360 Daylight LED light panels (no backlight and I record in front of a gray painted wall). The lights produce 5600 degree K Light. I think the lighting is decent, but it doesn't compare with the quality of the Think Media videos.
I'm thinking about upgrading my camera to a mirrorless camera and I have a couple questions.
1. Is it recommended to continue using my LED light panels are my point and fill lights? I've had them for about 13 years and they seem to work good.
2. If I did upgrade my camera to say a Sony FX30 would my current lighting be acceptable or should I swap that out too?
3. I sit at my desk to make videos so what lenses would be recommended to work with an FX30?
Thanks in advance.
Great job
Glad this was valuable!
@@ThinkMediaTV thanks
Thank you ! What do you think about Sony 7C II ?
dude Iphone 15, you can buy attachments and lens adjustments. you have all your data there to edit on your phone and post. The latest mobile phones are designed for social media content creation
Great video! Headed to grab a 6700!
I look forward to this video presentation every year Sean! I’m a former M50 user which was awesome to get me started with both still creation and vlogging. But I am a Canon R10 user now - and the 2 hour non-stop video ability and better overall capabilities over the R50 makes me think the R10 is a better choice over the R50. But I understand why the R50 would be an upgrade over the former M50 for beginners. Still have my M50 - don’t want to let it go as I have great lenses for it.
Is the R10 better than the M50?
@@Theverifiedvee For my purposes, yes the R10 is better. As a CZcams creator, I like having 2-hour straight running video capability over the 30 minutes capability of the R50. Also, the R50 is an excellent camera but is considered mainly a beginner’s camera. The R10 is more of a beginner to mid range user’s camera. If you buy the R10, make sure to choose it with the 18-150 kit lens version. I love that zoom lens and use it all the time. But watch a few good reviews on each camera and get the one that best fits your needs and budget. I love my R10!
very informative . but if you going to film outdoors at low temperatures there is one thing to think about how camera performs in cold temperatures . I had bad experencie with my gopro9 at near 0 C and below temperatures , when initially showed battery 40 % then suddenly shut down with low battery message.
Fantastic review and comparisons! However I am considering something small and light ie the Osmo Pocket 3 for vlogging. I was also considering the Sony Alpha 7 IV , however wouldn't I be less prone to take it for traveling due to its size and weight?😮 Thx!
How did you create that thumbnail?! That’s sick!!
The Clean HDMI topic was very helpful, it was something I'd been troublshooting for a while. I wonder if this same philosophy applies to when you utilize your IPhone as a StreamYards video source?
I need one ❤
The Canon R8 with the super cheap RF lenses eg: rf 16mm2.8, rf 24mm f1.8 IS absolutely kills in the beginner to intermediate level, vlogging to portrait/events. All that is a point and shoot camera body size.
That value proposition is insane.
on the sony ZV-1 why would you need an hdmi cable when it does usb streaming? is it just because you want to input it into your ATEM switcher? also what is your USB going into then for charging if you're already using an HDMI? thank you
whats the best tiktok camera to use and lens? sony? canon?, I want something other then my iphone 15 thats way better quality for filming vertical
So nice hlp ❤❤❤❤
@ThinkMediaTV What kind of lens would you recommend for fitness/yoga videos for the Sony A6700. Would the Sigma 16mm still work well for that use? Also, I loved the video! Very helpful information.
The best thing about the zve-10 aside from its jack of all trades abilities, is its super compact size. Makes it a no brainer to take any and everywhere. And the kit lens isnt horrible btw. Especially for only a hundred bucks? It gives you the essential focal ranges you need. And the af is snappy and you can affect the speed of the zoom if you want a cinematic looking zoom in video
zve-10 or zve-1? They made at least one typo in this video, so it sows confusion.
@@allthecommonsense They meant the Sony ZV-E10 (56:30). The Sony ZV-1 (56:00) lens is not swappable where as the ZV-E10 can be changed with other compatible lenses for that system. I'm looking for a camera myself for content creation and for taking with me on the go when I travel so the ZV-E10 is likely what I'm going to buy.
What I can't seem to understand is when you stream to your laptop through the HDMI is that recorded on your laptop HD or the camera's SD card?
great want to know about lenses eosR50
How about the PTZs? For church livestreaming and live tallk show with audience filming. I would love to hear your take. Thanks for this great video
I think they are great solution for a very specialized need.
Pro: convenient and allows for skilled opperators to manage multiple cameras by themselves
Con: they don't have "the look" that proper camera and great glass (lenses) will produce
Whats your thoughts on the A7Cii vs FX30? I do video podcast but also want to take some pictures!
I’ve watched several CZcams videos related to overheating while live streaming. I have some live interviews I’ll be doing soon and it’s just worrisome. I’ve seen the ZV-E10 overheating (or you have to change the internal temp control to prevent it from shutting down), I’ve seen people complain the Sony A6700 overheats while live streaming. I guess I’m just confused. Out of this first list. Which ones won’t over best while live streaming for, say if the interview runs about 2 hours? Is it only the FX30 because it has an internal fan? Thanks so much
