    I love my 6DMII. The only thing I wish Canon would have done with it was make it with Dual memory card slots. Its my go-to camera for when I travel and takes beautiful pictures, especially in low light situations, it shines there. Plus the flippy touchy screen is cool too.

    • @gavtakesphotos
      @gavtakesphotos 12 дней назад

      Yeah having dual slots would've made this camera great for events, I feel they left it out intentionally to push people to the 5d iv which is slightly annoying but still a great camera especially with used prices these days

      I’m wondering that too. I still use my Mk 1 but would like the updated AF system. Though I really wish it had animal eye AF.

  • @adamzain6770
    @adamzain6770 Месяц назад

    We were using manual focus lenses long before digital or live view, even for sports. It wasn’t particularly difficult to get things in focus. The disadvantage of DSLRs and AF SLRs for this was the lack of split image or fresnel focus screens as standard. You can, apparently, get one for the 5D, if you search - although I’m not sure if there is an official Canon one available - and they will, of course all be second-hand, so you’re taking a risk if you fit it. However, if you’re going to be using manual focus lenses a lot and you’re prepared to swap out the focus screens, it may be worth trying to get one.

    Great video, new susbscriber here. I have been considering buying an em1 mkiii but I already own an om5. Would that be a good investment? I'm just a hobbyist.

    • @gavtakesphotos
      @gavtakesphotos Месяц назад

      Hey thanks for subscribing Honestly they’re very similar, there’s a few areas the em1 mkiii is better The main one for me is the grip on the em1 is probably the best one on any camera I’ve held so it’s super comfortable to use for long periods I’ve not experienced hands on with the om5 yet but from what I’ve read online the tripod mount is a weak point so if you’ve got some of the heavier lenses and use a tripod the em1 mkiii might be a sensible upgrade

    • @juliotamayo413
      @juliotamayo413 Месяц назад

      @gavtakesphotos yes, thanks for rsponding. I know they are very similar but the em1 mkiii has a couple details superior to the om5. Anyway, I sold my Canon R-10 and just bought an em1 mkiii refurbished from OM systems USA with two years of warranty, very low shutter count and only for $764. Black friday deal on Ebay. I live in North Carolina and we have, as an average, 105 rainy days a year I need weather sealing for sure and the R-10 despite it's superior AF and speed, used to be more time at home in a dry cabinet than taking photos. Anyway, thanks for your answer and keep doing great videos. Cheers.

  • @timwitteveen935
    @timwitteveen935 Месяц назад

    Hi Gav, thanks for the great test! Just a tip: to get a better comparison between the apps, you could set the ISO/shutter speed to manual and use the same settings across all apps. Additionally, I have a question about Evenlonger. Does this app also only use the 12MP sensor? I know that Reepose does, but I would really like to use the full sensor (48MP). Is there a difference in file size between the apps?

    • @gavtakesphotos
      @gavtakesphotos Месяц назад

      Hey thanks for the input I was gonna do another video with the settings locked in and a fresh comparison as I figured out what happened with the reexpose app now Can confirm that even longer shoots 12mp images, wish one of the apps could use the full resolution The both save about 10mb raw files

  • @srancher6574
    @srancher6574 3 месяца назад

    if you're buying one used, go for it, but brand new, just think about it a bit more. You're better off getting a older, but better, model with more features, in a much better made body (60D, 70D, 700D, even the 600D, 550D, or a D3300 from Nikon). The 4000D is the equivalent of a 450d from 2008, but with more megapixels, better connectivity and it shoots video, apart from that, the body has cheaper plastic, the AF system is pretty much the same, the screen is smaller and worse resolution wise. The sensor of the 4000D was first used in the 7D, released in 2009 as a pro APS-C sensor DSLR. It was then used in the 550d, 600D, 650D and the 700D. While these four cameras use the same sensor, they are better built and have more features (the last three have a articulating screen). But if you really want to buy the 4000D new beacuse you are skeptical about buying second-hand (I've seen some cases), you can, just don't expect wonders from it, it is as bare-bones as it gets. The sensor, while being 15 years old now, still performs great.

    • @gavtakesphotos
      @gavtakesphotos 3 месяца назад

      If it's the 6d mark II then yes definitely, it makes a great RUclips camera The original 6d however doesn't autofocus in video so if it's that one you're getting then that is something to keep in mind

    Try reviewing the camera. I don't care where you are shooting the video, what camera you are using to record the video, all the lenses you've used and sold. Just review the camera and its amazing features!

    • @joshm9363
      @joshm9363 2 месяца назад

      Actually I’d push back on that notion. That sort of review is so easy to find another one would be a bit redundant and experience with lenses is super interesting. Similarly I’m more interested to hear about features that are actually getting used over time and their benefits than the typical run through of features found in a normal review.

    • @joshm9363
      @joshm9363 2 месяца назад

      To add to that point, the only reason RUclips pushed this video on me is because I’ve already watched enough reviews of the camera body elsewhere!

    I purchased this camera for my mother-in-law for the holidays. I realize its limitations and I did indeed feel how "cheap" it felt, but I tested it out and it gets the job done when paired with a decent lens, especially for absolute beginners who will continue to only casually use it. She lost her old camera, which was a film camera, so she's been out of the game for a while! I put it in a new case with my old Canon EF-S 18-55mm and 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lenses, so she will have IS now. Although she adores her grandchildren, nana has unfortunately been parentified much more than a grandma should be my sister-in-law and there will be a lot of little interested hands grabbing for this camera I assume, so my reasoning is that it is replaceable should something happen. That combined with less intimidating features is why I went with this purchase. She really wants it simply for occasional family portraits and casual photography.
