This was definitely helpful, other people were just telling me, "just get the SL3 its just $50 more and its newer". But, I really need that 1080 at 24fps. Thanks

I am grateful in advance 🙏
I got my sl2 about 2 years ago, 2 years after my sl1 - i overpaid while on vacation and spent like $850 for a lens, bag, and sl1 Sl2 was $550 without lens, but with filters and battery, charger, i think it even came with a bag. And it's 24 rather than 18mp. Sl2 is awesome and faster than sl1. I can tell the difference in darkness is much better and more useful. Especially compared to my rebel xs from a decade ago. I compared images, videos, and even screwing around with the shutter speed to smooth out water effects, YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW DECENT WATER EFFECTS WITH OLD CAMERAS! the sl2 is 100 times better than any canon in even twice the price range compared to last decade. The sl2 didn't give any extra creative filters which pisses me off. I don't want to edit my photos outside my camera. This is the future, and that should be the future. In-camera photo editing!!!
@@rstaraptorphotography3082 @@rstaraptorphotography3082 thanks a lot dor this. I have a rebel xs still and want to upgrade. Im torn between sl2 and sl3 because sl3 is cheaper in germany.. is 24fps and 25fps so much of a difference?
@@therealcinnimo there was something about the sl3 i didn't like. They reduced some qualities. I think my next camera will be full frame, but I just compaired close shots with my sl2 and my galaxy note 9 and my phone takes better short range photos. Pisses me off. My camera is 6mp more but my phone just blows my camera out of the water. I'd say now, for macro and micro photos, don't touch a camera. Only grab your phone. I took like 10 different shots and my sl2 just had a type of blur i couldn't get rid of. It's always been like that. Back 4 years ago this would be a completely different story, my galaxy s4 took "good" photos, but my sl1 i though was vastly superior. Times have changed. Nobody buys cameras now, and it's because phones are better somehow.
I think the SL2 is the winner. Not much of a difference in image quality, and most peoples still use 1080p videos as it is more easy in post on your computer. At 1080p, 60fps like you said, you can do pretty good slow motion, and in Canada, you can have the SL2 at $560.00 and the SL3 $899.99 a pretty big $ 339.99 difference. For the price, i can even buy the Rebel SL2 with a Gopro7 Black and i can do both 1080P and 4K for just $120.00 more than the price of the SL3 :-)
Your comment is still relevant a year later. SL2 and GoPro 7 Black is what I chose to buy as well. I got both refurbished for just under $600 total, which is what I would have paid for on a new SL3.
I own a sl2(200d) and I don't do live streaming or anything live,.... Videos are already great, having 4k might give sl3 an edge but having crop factor of more than 2 is just no no. Most of people would just stick with 1080p, in photography side I see no major difference, except the battery life. And don't get it wrong, the sl2 gives already around 1500 shots with full battery with viewfinder. You will most be shooting... If you are going for photography just go for cheaper sl2, and if for video, it's really up to if you want that cropped 4k....eye detection is nice though... I say go for cheaper sl2 at last.
@@TechGearTalk No improvement in AF points is my concern, why one should pay extra for features with limited capabilities? especially no dpaf in 4k with crop factor.
I think sl2 is Value for money! Upgrade should be impactful! Sl3 not have much that we can call sl3 is the upgrade version of sl2! I think people should buy sl2 ! Offer are running online in india on sl2(200d) ! With 2 kit lans it is only ₹47,000 Sl3(200d ll) price is ₹66,000. Which is too much on my view just for 4k & Eye detection 😉
I bought my SL2 in mid January after returning the Canon PowerShot sx740 & then the Canon T7i. The PowerShot & T7i took great photos however when it comes to a price point and similar features I decided to stick with my SL2. After seeing the SL3 come out, I had a moment if I made the right decision on buying in January 2019 vs waiting until now. Thank you for this comment and this video. Now I will invest into lenses instead of upgrading to a newer model camera that's in the same category of what I already own.
Need a 2nd DSLR and found your channel because I'm trying to decide between a SL2 or SL3. I owned an SL2 before but sold it cause I never ended up using it. I'm leaning towards the SL3 now because of the clean HDMI out for live streaming. Thank you so much for the in depth review!
Appreciate you watching and glad the video was helpful! Like you said, the SL3 is the way to go for streaming. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and for participating in the community.
THE BEST COMPARISON! I have seen numerous videos and read a bunch of articles in magazines and on the Net! YOU - Good Sir - are the ONLY ONE That mentions the additional crop factor when filming in 4K! I have a 200D and I had just bought it a few months before the 250D arrived! AND I was struck by instant "Fear Of Missing Out"! As the 250D has 4K and the 200D doesn't! I have been planning on filming with a DSLR for some years now - and THAT is one of the reasons why I upgraded from 600D to 200D! I also love how the 200D with the 24 mm pancake lens is so small that it fits in the pocket of a overcoat! Your videos have been very useful and informative to me and TODAY! I am finally going to try shooting my first RUclips video! Yesterday I went out and bough me a hotshoe mount shotgun mike (a Boya By-bm2021)! And I'm planning on filming four people discussing with the shotgun mike, lavaliers recording to smartphones for the two on the sides and either my Canon "nifty 50" or Sigma 18-250! As I will be one of the "talking heads" It will be shot with a fixed camera! I THANK YOU for ALL the useful information you give in your videos and I want to encourage you to keep up the good work!
Dude i don’t know why ?🤔 but when I’m confused about a camera i just look for your videos on RUclips and definitely helped me here on choosing one of those two beauties 😂 thanks 🙏🏻 a lot
The most thorough review and comparison I’ve seen of these cameras yet. This was really helpful as I’ve decided to finally upgrade my 7 year old camera, that was also my first (a Canon EOS 1100D) Can’t wait to get the 200D! I can really tell you put a lot of work into this! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such kind feedback. I do put a lot of work into these so that hopefully they help people save time and make a decision (and sometimes save money 😂) Let me know how it works out for you!
This video actually helped me a lot with deciding on a camera to get. I was planning on getting the SL3 but I wanted to see a few more videos and see if there were any things I was missing, and not having 24fps was a pretty big downside, and the crop factor on 4K made me realize that I’d need to get an ADDITIONAL lens. I don’t have a lot of money right now and the SL2 is considerably cheaper so this helped a lot on deciding. Gonna stay subscribed from now on.
I still hadn't decided between the M50 and the SL2, now I have the SL3 in the mix... I'm hoping there will be a new mirrorless with that new processor soon and the M50 will come down in price - then I'm sold I think.
If you haven't purchased and can afford it - get the Canon EOS RP with the RF 24mm - 105mm lens. The "R" series is where Canon is going to be putting the money, and supporting with new product. the M50 cannot compete in any way with the competition at the same price point.
Well done . I have never seen your channel before. Great voice , great calm presence, great analysis and great differentiation of use cases. I am now a subscriber
@@TechGearTalk Mainly photography yes, the 24 fps missing doesn't bother me much. Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video! Really helped me with my purchases and being able to stretch what few dollars I can scrounge up!
Tech Gear Talk I mostly use it for portraits and architecture photos Now I’m in west Africa taking lots of landscapes This camera is a beast with the right lens
One more deep down review with precious insights. Spot on. Oh and FU Canon...for not implementing 4K in SL2 (or any other previous camera) and then doing it for just 50$ more. I already own SL2. Mofos. 16:40 I havent tried since it still under warranty but if Magic Lantern can support SL2 then you can easily forget about this 'advantage'. Right?!
Thanks Marko! Yes, the audio levels would help. What I really was hoping for is the ability to change the levels on the fly from the LCD rather than going back into the menu.
I rarely subscribe to any channel. Your guides helped me 2nd time to make a decision between two similar cameras. I can see the passion, dedication and hard work in your videos. You have earned my subscription. Keep up the fantasctic work!
Acompanho o seu canal! Seguindo suas dicas, comprei a SL2 ao invés da 3... E com a diferença de valor e mais um pouco $ comprei: Lentes da Canon 50mm e 24mm, 1 Bateria extra e cartões de memória! Valeu, mesmo, pela dica!!! Agora tenho a SL2 e a G7XMark2! Abração. Muito Obrigado! DG Tudo
That is great to hear!!! I'm so glad that you got the SL2 and that you were able to get additional lenses with the extra money. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!!
This video is extremely helpful. I bought the Nikon D3500 initially, returned it upon more research for better cameras, then concluded that the Canon SL3 would be the right camera! I purchased the camera bundled with several goodies from eBay for around $630. After watching this video, I’m confident I made the right choice. GREAT CONTENT!
I'm currently looking to buy one of these models, and this is the first time seeing your videos. You do such an amazing job of simplifying so much information. Really appreciate your work!
No 1080p at 24fps in SL3??? That is a huge deal breaker right there for me. Thanks for the review and forewarning. Edit: * No auto focus in 4k * Proprietary hotshoe Douchebag Canon is regressing.
@@georgesideropoulos6704 24fps is a cinematic look! you can realize it with comparing a news program look( sl3) with a hollywood movie look(sl2). 24fps has a more soft look!
You must be joking, Canon will cripple the SL4 even more to make you buy the M series and then they will abandon the M series to make you buy the R mount aps-c cameras and lenses.
I use SL2, doesn’t see too much increase in terms of functionality for SL3 except battery and 4k, and the current battery life already enough for me to shoot for a whole day. And for video 1080p and 60fps are enough and don’t take up too much space in terms of data storage.
Thanks for the comparison. I was almost buying the SL3 ($100 more) because of the new processor, battery life and 4K video, but the extra crop at 4K with no dual pixel was decisive to buy the older SL2 instead.
So now I guess canon M50 Vs sl3 Btw one question: if a camera has 30fps but no 24fps them can't we lower the FPS in the editing process when we are about to export the file?
That's a very bad idea because when u put 30fps video and put it on 24fps timeline then this will remove 1 frame after every 5th frame from the video .. this will result in a very jittery video in final output .. I hope this helps .. thanks :)
Watching the first 20 seconds of the video literally answers this question. At some point, you have to put in an ounce of your own effort in the decision-making process.
@@TechGearTalk i have same question..does that matter much..those focus points inc in sl3?..i wanna go fr sl2 ..wanna jus shoot some prank videos for youtube and vlog..plz explain with example in what kind of video or photi shoot it will be less helpful than sl2. kindly explain.
Your electronic videos help me so much! It's very hard to walk into a store. Most people try to upsell me or confuse me from what I originally wanted. Now I can walk into stores confidently and know exactly what I'm getting. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Your videos are so straight to the point, easy to follow and professional !
Sooo, with LS3 filming with 24fps for that cinematic footage I really want, I need to shoot in 4k, which can work sometimes but are very zoomed in. But I do live in Sweden, and then you say “not living in North America”. So I can shoot in 25fps in 4K + 1080hp. Question, how is the difference from 24 to 25fps? And, what more than 1080p would you wish for? Otherwise, such good comparison! You’re awesome
🤟😎Hey my Bro.. No words to say. Again & again detailed explanations.Nice comparison 🤩. If SL3 improves 9 autofocus points to 45 & added the same 1080 @24fps , it will be a great value for money. Anyway I like new SL3 with new features mainly with battery backup🤗😋 . Thanks ma Bro😎
This is an epic comparison and is extremely helpful to me, a beginner. Thank you for helping me make my decision on what camera to buy. Keep doing what you do!
Thank you. This was a nice comparison. I recently picked up an SL2 at a pawn shop and immediately put it to work as my workhorse for my online sales business. I do my product photography using the SL2 on a tripod, set to square photo format, at low resolution, with external lighting, using live view with the touch shutter. I shoot product videos with it, as well, and get good quality with small file size MP4 files. The WiFi works great. All of my photos taken each day go into a folder for that day, which keeps them organized. The WiFi connection means that I do not ever need to have a cord running from my camera to my computer.. I had been using a 77D, which did everything I needed, but I felt I was wasting a lot of great features of the 77D using it that way, so replaced it with the SL2, and replaced an earlier SL1 with the 77D as my vacation camera. Since the SL2 and 77D share the same battery, and I use a power adapter on the SL2 on the tripod, that gave me an extra battery for vacations. I had wondered about what the SL3 offered, and from your video I can see that while it has some nice features, in the way I would use it ,there is no good reason for me to seek one out.
TGT: Your explanations, descriptions, and delivery are exceptional. This will not be as helpful to the rookie as it would be to the seasoned camera officionado. For myself, being closer to the rookie side of the scale than the expert side, it would have been very difficult to follow, but my working knowledge of physics helped me to understand most of the discussion. Your delivery is superb, and I would recommend your channel to others. Thank you for showing the outtakes. It brings you back down to human level. GO Enthusiast
I volunteer at a recycle place that does workshops for special needs kids, we get donations a lot of stuff that works and don't work, in a massive donation from a school with a ton of computers, there was a SL3 (EOS 200D II here in Australia) and the back screen was ripped off, no batteries, no lens. I ended up fixing it, the back screen was there, it was just no longer attached, so i reattached it with hot glue and dreams, and got it tested, it worked. Bought a lens on ebay and aftermarket batteries, and now I got a really damn cool camera now
i'm so in for tech channels but your explanation is way understandable and you're not biased to any of it yet still catch your recommendation of which one should we get. bravo brother. keep up the good work!
With the SL2, as a work around for the clean HDMI when live streaming, will it let you stream in 1080pm with using the USB and Canon's web cam software?
Thank you very much! I was trying to decide which one I want to buy, and before your comparison I was going to choose 250d... but now I decided to go for 200d. Simply because of those 24fps at 1080p. I am more of photographer than video maker, but I have in mind some project including cinematic shots, so thats game changer for me.
@@TechGearTalk For now I'm aiming for standard 18-55 IS and Telephoto zoom 70-200, but which ones I'm yet to decide. We'll see what the future holds, cuz I probably won't stop on these two :)
Thank you sir for the video. I'm getting an entrusting deal in the SL2. I just wanted to know if the difference between both was overwhelming to a point that i might regret not saving for SL3. But your video helped me realizing that it's not the case. No crippling differences here like the ones we see between SL1 and SL2, for instance.
I watched like 7 or if not more of your camera review videos before I FINALLY decided on the camera I was getting 😂 (which is the SL2). I just got it today, ( still super stoked about it) Thank you for making straight to the point, easy explanation camera review videos! Greetings from a small Nigerian RUclipsr.😊
I’m super glad the comparisons have been helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏🏻 The sl2 is a great option! What lens/es did you go with?
Perfect option - here's why: ruclips.net/video/z-x-d-K9Jfw/видео.html If you have any questions, check out this: ruclips.net/video/8EEKkrOuj-w/видео.html and this: ruclips.net/video/UUPqjPs5Iw8/видео.html
Even though the SL3 doesnt shoot at 24fps @ 1080p, that eye detection stabilization is a must. I am not going to shoot much video and need something that has better picture quality. You have earned a subscribe from me, good video.
A couple questions. I watched the video and have seen others. How are the cameras for night filming and pictures. Specifically focusing with all of the excess lighting. My son is mainly interested in fire related scenes (fires, accidents, vehicles), currently he is using an ipod and we know that while that is okay he wants to get a better camera. Of all of the videos I've seen, nothing has said anything about night time action. Originally I was liking the sl2 over the sl3, but then realizing the 3 had just a bit better edge. He doesn't want to spend past 700, but he gets it. Quality of finished product is based on pricing. 1. Night time photo and video actions for cameras. Pretty good or with all of the flashing lights still a problem? 2. Shooting from across the street. Short or long lens? Fire engines would sometimes be coming toward him.
Well I just want to get the best video quality in 1080 p so which one I shud consider buying so basically want to do film at night .maybe some day filming as well.not worry to much about taking photos
I will be buying a camera in a month or 2 (waiting for online festive sale) currently 200d is 704.59 usd and 200d ii is 845.54 usd. I will be using this for photography mostly and I am a beginner as well so 200d for me. Thanks a lot for this video, most of the videos online explain just the spec sheet but yours are a really great help to actually understand the value for money and lot of other little details!! Love from India
Can canon's SL3 stream live and record simultaneously without affecting the clean HDMI output taken for streaming. I mean whether the red indication of the record button will show in the live stream. Please also indicate the third party gearwhich i should buy for a power back up by using a dummy battery and a power bank for continuous live streaming in case of SL3
I have never tried recording internally while streaming because I always record externally (since there is no time limit). Here ist he power adapter: geni.us/sl2-sl3-usb-power-1
Thank you ,I just bought this camera and couldn’t even figure out how to turn it on ,,,just this one video has taught me so much. I can’t wait to see all your other ones I plan on using it for my RUclips channel and all of my work as I’m a designer for journals and stationary. Necee
I was leaning towards T7 because it was cheaper but after going through so many videos. Is not about the lenses but more so how you handle it and what the camera has to offer. Also t7 audio jack sucks since there isn’t one. Then leaned towards Sl2. After comparing Sl2 vs T7i I leaned towards SL2. I said wth why not VS SL3. I thing you won me over. Not due to 4K but I think I want SL3 now. Ughhh 🤦🏻♂️ I think long run best investment would be SL3..right? Sorry all over the place researching.
Very nice review thank you very helpful I will only need this for Long exposure astrophotography using a telescope I think it should work without breaking the bank Oh one more ? does it have an option for bulb mode
I've seen a few of your videos and trust your opinion. This will be my first DSLR and chances are good for a future upgrade, so the SL2 makes more sense to me. Thanks for doing this video.
your review was extrememly useful in deciding on a used SL2 with 3 used lenses(10-18, 18-55, 55-250) versus a NEW SL3 with kit lens 18-55) ALL lens are STM also TY oh which one used versus thw NEW & saved 150.00 & got 2 more lenses !! TY
Hi a small question You talk about not being able to film in 24 fps with the SL3 for NTSC, but you can film in 25 fps on pal. Can't you just switch between these options? (I think you showed that on the video, so I feel like I'm missing the problem) because I like that NTSC has 60 fps but I'm European.
Yes, you can switch. The reasons for PAL VS NTSC has to do with frequencies in electricity delivery which could cause a flicker effect if used in the wrong zone. Hope this makes sense
@@TechGearTalk I am a pro photographer (Canon) with over 20 yrs of experiance and for the last few years have been a camera sales person . I have not yet had a chance to extensively use the SL3, but the SL2 has always been huge bang for the buck and a sweet spot on the cost/performance graph. Thanks !
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking to replace my old 550D that I have very good memories with. I'm looking for a small DSLR with pretty good specifications. I was going to select SL2 but 4K Timelapse made me think about SL3. I have a question if both of the cameras have an option to disable AGC (Auto Gain Controller). I have had big problems with AGC disabling and thankfully Magic Lantern helped me.
This really helped me decide. It's sl3 for me, Primarily for better focus with more focus points. I already have a M6, but sometimes both my wife and I need to shoot at the same time. She has a keen eye but doesn't care to know about anything other than turning it on and taking photos. She does not like the larger cameras and thinks the M6 is too small. Unless I find a screaming deal on an SL2, it's the SL3 for me.
A great video! I am thinking of SL3 as it is within my budget and the specifications seem to be good. But, I need to make the right decision. I want your advice, please. What is the best budget camera in general for a person who is just going to learn photo and videography and also can use the same camera for the initial years of a Photo and videography career? Areas will be covering Weddings, newborns, parties, and portraits. (it doesn't have to be between SL2 or SL3, but can be any brand or model. The main thing is I should be able to use it during the initial stage of my work ) Thank you
Amazing review! Do you know how much time does SL2 and SL3 record? Like the max size of the video in minutes... And also the battery duration for videos. I am about to buy the SL3 to start with better video productions, currently I shot on smartphones. Galaxy S9 has a great camera but I would like a little bit more now.
Both cameras have a 30 minute record limit (for a single clip). As far as battery life, I do this (with a different part number) for both cameras: ruclips.net/video/TOpsG_jlEbU/видео.html
Hi there! Trying to figure whether the SL2 or the SL3 is better for me. I am a beginner, planning on getting a camera for photography of indoor events for school, and general family use when traveling and going on trips. I plan to use video here and there, but nothing professional. I notice a lot of people discussing the SL3 lacking the 1080/24, but it also doesnt have the ability to add a third party flash (which I'm not sure I'm going to be using anyway, at least right now). How important is the eye recognition over these other aspects given my use? PS - Finding a $100 difference, and my budget is $900 max. Looking to get the Sigma 17-50 lens for all around use but I was also recommended the Tamron SP 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di. Which is better for me? Thanks!
I am also looking at buying the 250D on Friday and I am interested in the eye detection in video mode. Is it making a real difference when compared to the M50 and 200D ?! It would have been amazing to see an actual comparison side by side, since this is one of the main selling points of this camera.
@Isaac Attia - you've outlined the things I don't like about the SL3 (no 1080/24 and removal of the hot shoe center pin). For me, the hotshoe is less important. Eye recognition is really nice for portraits, you're going to appreciate it. Especially if you're shooting with a shallow depth of field and it's important you get that closest eye in focus. Look, I've lived without it for years and so has everyone else, so it's not a deal breaker, but it's nice to have. @sebastianFM - For video, it's a little less important because the face detection is pretty good and there is usually motion blur anyway. Again, nice to have, not critical.
great video again! theres an interesting topic i can suggest, if you use gimbals, the sl2 doesn't work well with strong ones, jittering, lack of balance makes it almost unusable. keep up the good work! thanks for another video.
@@TechGearTalk mines the one cheapest thing there is on amazon, its the hohem isteady gear... honestly, i had to buy it because it was the cheaper one, but i had less regrets doing worst than this. I would never recomend this gimbal to anyone, i should make a video about it though my channel isn't about tech anymore. Thanks for the feedback on the comment, ill wait for it

@viva vintage - thanks so much for the kind words.
I still think SL2 will work best for me as a beginner's camera for RUclips.
@misha basu - it's a fantastic choice for youtube - no question.
Using the sl2 for the last 2 years and I'm super happy with it. It's a great camera for a great price. Beginners you can't go wrong with the sl2.
I'd still go for SL2. 4k is not that important to me.
That makes sense to me. I think it's a very self-aware move.
I got my sl2 about 2 years ago, 2 years after my sl1 - i overpaid while on vacation and spent like $850 for a lens, bag, and sl1
Sl2 was $550 without lens, but with filters and battery, charger, i think it even came with a bag. And it's 24 rather than 18mp.
Sl2 is awesome and faster than sl1. I can tell the difference in darkness is much better and more useful.
Especially compared to my rebel xs from a decade ago.
I compared images, videos, and even screwing around with the shutter speed to smooth out water effects, YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW DECENT WATER EFFECTS WITH OLD CAMERAS!
the sl2 is 100 times better than any canon in even twice the price range compared to last decade.
The sl2 didn't give any extra creative filters which pisses me off.
I don't want to edit my photos outside my camera.
This is the future, and that should be the future.
In-camera photo editing!!!

Back 4 years ago this would be a completely different story, my galaxy s4 took "good" photos, but my sl1 i though was vastly superior.
Times have changed.
Nobody buys cameras now, and it's because phones are better somehow.
I think the SL2 is the winner. Not much of a difference in image quality, and most peoples still use 1080p videos as it is more easy in post on your computer.
At 1080p, 60fps like you said, you can do pretty good slow motion, and in Canada, you can have the SL2 at $560.00 and the SL3 $899.99 a pretty big $ 339.99 difference.
For the price, i can even buy the Rebel SL2 with a Gopro7 Black and i can do both 1080P and 4K for just $120.00 more than the price of the SL3 :-)
Wow, that’s a huge price difference. I like where your head is at with the GoPro!
It's still the same 24mp sensor.
They updated the video that's all. It's sad.
In Germany there is almost no price difference at all!!!
WELL SAID MY FRIEND
Your comment is still relevant a year later. SL2 and GoPro 7 Black is what I chose to buy as well. I got both refurbished for just under $600 total, which is what I would have paid for on a new SL3.
I own a sl2(200d) and I don't do live streaming or anything live,.... Videos are already great, having 4k might give sl3 an edge but having crop factor of more than 2 is just no no. Most of people would just stick with 1080p, in photography side I see no major difference, except the battery life. And don't get it wrong, the sl2 gives already around 1500 shots with full battery with viewfinder. You will most be shooting... If you are going for photography just go for cheaper sl2, and if for video, it's really up to if you want that cropped 4k....eye detection is nice though...
I say go for cheaper sl2 at last.
I think that's a good analysis. Eye detection is nice, but I don't know if it's enough right? The SL2 might be a better value.
@@TechGearTalk No improvement in AF points is my concern, why one should pay extra for features with limited capabilities? especially no dpaf in 4k with crop factor.
I'm still unable to explain removing features. Waiting to hear something from Canon.
I think sl2 is Value for money!
Upgrade should be impactful! Sl3 not have much that we can call sl3 is the upgrade version of sl2!
I think people should buy sl2 ! Offer are running online in india on sl2(200d) ! With 2 kit lans it is only ₹47,000
Sl3(200d ll) price is ₹66,000.
Which is too much on my view just for 4k & Eye detection 😉
I bought my SL2 in mid January after returning the Canon PowerShot sx740 & then the Canon T7i. The PowerShot & T7i took great photos however when it comes to a price point and similar features I decided to stick with my SL2. After seeing the SL3 come out, I had a moment if I made the right decision on buying in January 2019 vs waiting until now. Thank you for this comment and this video. Now I will invest into lenses instead of upgrading to a newer model camera that's in the same category of what I already own.
One thing that your videos invoke? Trust. Never trade that. Cheers.
That is very kind of your to say Robin - I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
Need a 2nd DSLR and found your channel because I'm trying to decide between a SL2 or SL3. I owned an SL2 before but sold it cause I never ended up using it. I'm leaning towards the SL3 now because of the clean HDMI out for live streaming. Thank you so much for the in depth review!
Appreciate you watching and glad the video was helpful! Like you said, the SL3 is the way to go for streaming. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and for participating in the community.
THE BEST COMPARISON! I have seen numerous videos and read a bunch of articles in magazines and on the Net!
YOU - Good Sir - are the ONLY ONE That mentions the additional crop factor when filming in 4K!
I have a 200D and I had just bought it a few months before the 250D arrived! AND I was struck by instant "Fear Of Missing Out"! As the 250D has 4K and the 200D doesn't!
I have been planning on filming with a DSLR for some years now - and THAT is one of the reasons why I upgraded from 600D to 200D! I also love how the 200D with the 24 mm pancake lens is so small that it fits in the pocket of a overcoat!
Your videos have been very useful and informative to me and TODAY! I am finally going to try shooting my first RUclips video! Yesterday I went out and bough me a hotshoe mount shotgun mike (a Boya By-bm2021)!
And I'm planning on filming four people discussing with the shotgun mike, lavaliers recording to smartphones for the two on the sides and either my Canon "nifty 50" or Sigma 18-250! As I will be one of the "talking heads" It will be shot with a fixed camera!
I THANK YOU for ALL the useful information you give in your videos and I want to encourage you to keep up the good work!
I’m so excited for you Bob!!! Thank you for the kind words. Glad I could help. Good luck!!!
Thanks so much for the review, I've been waiting for this Comparison.
I'm finally going for Sl2.
You're very welcome. Glad I was able to help you make a decision.
Dude i don’t know why ?🤔 but when I’m confused about a camera i just look for your videos on RUclips and definitely helped me here on choosing one of those two beauties 😂 thanks 🙏🏻 a lot
I’m so glad the videos are helpful! Congrats on picking a camera!
thank you sir, this assisted me in my purchase decision.. much appreciated
You're very welcome Chris - I'm glad the video was helpful. Which did you pick?
same
Same, I ended up choosing sl3 because if this video
I bet he chose none :)
The most thorough review and comparison I’ve seen of these cameras yet. This was really helpful as I’ve decided to finally upgrade my 7 year old camera, that was also my first (a Canon EOS 1100D) Can’t wait to get the 200D! I can really tell you put a lot of work into this! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to leave such kind feedback. I do put a lot of work into these so that hopefully they help people save time and make a decision (and sometimes save money 😂)
Let me know how it works out for you!
Man, one of THE best reviewers on youtube
Oh wow, thank you so much 🙏🏻 which camera did you like better?
@@TechGearTalk I have the sl2 and I cant believe is a beginners camera. Is the best
I super love mine. I think it’s a great value. What do you mostly use it for?
This video actually helped me a lot with deciding on a camera to get. I was planning on getting the SL3 but I wanted to see a few more videos and see if there were any things I was missing, and not having 24fps was a pretty big downside, and the crop factor on 4K made me realize that I’d need to get an ADDITIONAL lens. I don’t have a lot of money right now and the SL2 is considerably cheaper so this helped a lot on deciding. Gonna stay subscribed from now on.
Glad it was helpful in saving you money!
I still hadn't decided between the M50 and the SL2, now I have the SL3 in the mix... I'm hoping there will be a new mirrorless with that new processor soon and the M50 will come down in price - then I'm sold I think.
Ha, isn't that always the case. You're sold on the M50?
If you haven't purchased and can afford it - get the Canon EOS RP with the RF 24mm - 105mm lens. The "R" series is where Canon is going to be putting the money, and supporting with new product. the M50 cannot compete in any way with the competition at the same price point.
hah haa same here. I have done pros and cons chart and still cannot select a one. 😓😓
Man thanks for the review! Loved the sl2 a lot! So was intrested maybe in 4k... but the limits for the 4k options....not good
Thank you brother! I don't know how they can take away 1080/24. On principle alone that's a fundamental mistake.
@@TechGearTalk agreeing on that as well!
I literally spent 30 minutes looking for it thinking "I know other people said it's gone, but that just can't be"
@@TechGearTalk hahahahaha i would be the same hahahaha
Well... now I don't have those 30 minutes any more.
I love how he literally replied to everyone in the comment section
Kevin Olivera I do my best. Thanks for being part of the channel. 👍🏻
Well done . I have never seen your channel before. Great voice , great calm presence, great analysis and great differentiation of use cases. I am now a subscriber
Thank you for the kind words and support 🙏🏻
Still within my 30 day return period so Im going to swap my sl2 for the sl3. The battery life, 4k and Processor seems worth the $50 difference.
If you're using it for photography, and don't need 1080/24 then it's definitely worth it. Hope the video was helpful.
@@TechGearTalk Mainly photography yes, the 24 fps missing doesn't bother me much. Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video! Really helped me with my purchases and being able to stretch what few dollars I can scrounge up!
You're very welcome. I think going to the SL3 is a good move!
Got my SL2 and I’m happy with it
That's awesome! What do you use it for?
Tech Gear Talk I mostly use it for portraits and architecture photos
Now I’m in west Africa taking lots of landscapes
This camera is a beast with the right lens
I completely agree with you! Used well, it provides great results.
Tech Gear Talk big fan of canon myself
I believe their pics have warmer colors
I really like canon color too
You are the reason why Im having fun with my sl2.
So glad you’re loving your SL2!
One more deep down review with precious insights. Spot on.
Oh and FU Canon...for not implementing 4K in SL2 (or any other previous camera) and then doing it for just 50$ more. I already own SL2. Mofos.
16:40 I havent tried since it still under warranty but if Magic Lantern can support SL2 then you can easily forget about this 'advantage'. Right?!
Thanks Marko! Yes, the audio levels would help. What I really was hoping for is the ability to change the levels on the fly from the LCD rather than going back into the menu.
I rarely subscribe to any channel. Your guides helped me 2nd time to make a decision between two similar cameras. I can see the passion, dedication and hard work in your videos. You have earned my subscription. Keep up the fantasctic work!
You nailed it man, what a nice review.
Hope it was helpful. Thanks for being part of the community
Your content is always well researched and presented clearly. Very educational. Thank you very much.
Appreciate the kind words. Glad that you liked it and super happy that it was educational.
Acompanho o seu canal! Seguindo suas dicas, comprei a SL2 ao invés da 3... E com a diferença de valor e mais um pouco $ comprei: Lentes da Canon 50mm e 24mm, 1 Bateria extra e cartões de memória! Valeu, mesmo, pela dica!!!
Agora tenho a SL2 e a G7XMark2! Abração. Muito Obrigado! DG Tudo
That is great to hear!!! I'm so glad that you got the SL2 and that you were able to get additional lenses with the extra money. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!!
This video is extremely helpful. I bought the Nikon D3500 initially, returned it upon more research for better cameras, then concluded that the Canon SL3 would be the right camera! I purchased the camera bundled with several goodies from eBay for around $630. After watching this video, I’m confident I made the right choice. GREAT CONTENT!
Glad I was able to help! Great deal and welcome to the channel!
I'm currently looking to buy one of these models, and this is the first time seeing your videos. You do such an amazing job of simplifying so much information. Really appreciate your work!
THANK YOU!
I'm looking foward to buy one of these, and you've been so helpful!
Big thank you from Argentina!
Glad I could help Milena! Appreciate the thanks all the way from Argentina 🙏
No 1080p at 24fps in SL3???
That is a huge deal breaker right there for me. Thanks for the review and forewarning.
Edit:
* No auto focus in 4k
* Proprietary hotshoe
Douchebag Canon is regressing.
It’s just a weird thing, that’s for sure. There is autofocus in 4K, just not the dual pixel af. But still, not as good. That plus the hotshoe... smh
@H alkhattabi - but it can be frustrating...
What's the difference in SL2 NTSC 24 fps / SL3 PAL 25 fps ?
Why do we need 1080P at 24 FPS why not more?
@@georgesideropoulos6704 24fps is a cinematic look! you can realize it with comparing a news program look( sl3) with a hollywood movie look(sl2). 24fps has a more soft look!
Hopefully the SL4 will fix the features the SL3 lost in the “upgrade?” Wait until the SL5 comes out to get a deal on the SL4. lol
Electronics life.
Always - right?
sl4 will be WAY BETTER, I was sure the sl3 was going to be a a better upgrade to the sl2, pretty sad
You must be joking, Canon will cripple the SL4 even more to make you buy the M series and then they will abandon the M series to make you buy the R mount aps-c cameras and lenses.
I use SL2, doesn’t see too much increase in terms of functionality for SL3 except battery and 4k, and the current battery life already enough for me to shoot for a whole day. And for video 1080p and 60fps are enough and don’t take up too much space in terms of data storage.
I totally get it. If Eye detection and 4k time lapse don't really matter, I wouldn't upgrade. The SL2 is already a great camera
Tech Gear Talk
Thanks for the comparison. I was almost buying the SL3 ($100 more) because of the new processor, battery life and 4K video, but the extra crop at 4K with no dual pixel was decisive to buy the older SL2 instead.
Glad this was helpful and hopefully it saved you money 🙂
Thank you so much Dude, for this vid i think i will pick this SL3 over the M50.
You're very welcome. Here is a comparison of those two: ruclips.net/video/AM9thPT_IVE/видео.html
@@TechGearTalk Thank you Dude, I'll support you're 'vids every single day you upload.
Super appreciate that! Got another one coming tomorrow
I would to.
Love the Sl2 for my RUclips videos your videos was great and I would like to see more of the 4k footage using a gamble
Thanks Henry. No problem, I'm shooting more and more with it now.
This was an excellent comparison. Subbed.
Thanks Tom! Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave feedback!
I liked this video a lot. It was really helpful. I am glad content like this continues to live on, years after it was initially posted.
Thank you.
Great video, thanks. Definitely going for the SL2 after watching this
So now I guess canon M50 Vs sl3
Btw one question: if a camera has 30fps but no 24fps them can't we lower the FPS in the editing process when we are about to export the file?
You can do that, but it won’t yield the exact same results. It has to do with the shutter speed and the amount of motion blue your get at 24fps.
That's a very bad idea because when u put 30fps video and put it on 24fps timeline then this will remove 1 frame after every 5th frame from the video .. this will result in a very jittery video in final output .. I hope this helps .. thanks :)
Is the Rebel LS3 and Canon EOS 250d the same Camera? Please answer
Yes, the SL3 and the 250d are the same camera.
Watching the first 20 seconds of the video literally answers this question. At some point, you have to put in an ounce of your own effort in the decision-making process.
What's the advantage of all those extra autofocus positions over the sl2? I can't figure out what they even mean tbh
They are positions where you can place the focus point and where the camera can attain focus. Does that help?
Tech Gear Talk yes!
Glad I could help
@@TechGearTalk i have same question..does that matter much..those focus points inc in sl3?..i wanna go fr sl2 ..wanna jus shoot some prank videos for youtube and vlog..plz explain with example in what kind of video or photi shoot it will be less helpful than sl2. kindly explain.
My 250d arrives today... thank you again for making me confident that my choice was right 😀
NNNNNNNNNNNNNice!!! Can't wait to hear what you think about it once it's in your hands.
Your electronic videos help me so much! It's very hard to walk into a store. Most people try to upsell me or confuse me from what I originally wanted. Now I can walk into stores confidently and know exactly what I'm getting. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your videos are so straight to the point, easy to follow and professional !
Sooo, with LS3 filming with 24fps for that cinematic footage I really want, I need to shoot in 4k, which can work sometimes but are very zoomed in.
But I do live in Sweden, and then you say “not living in North America”. So I can shoot in 25fps in 4K + 1080hp.
Question, how is the difference from 24 to 25fps? And, what more than 1080p would you wish for?
Otherwise, such good comparison! You’re awesome
You are correct. You can just shoot at 25fps. You won't be able to tell the difference between 24 and 25
🤟😎Hey my Bro.. No words to say. Again & again detailed explanations.Nice comparison 🤩.
If SL3 improves 9 autofocus points to 45 & added the same 1080 @24fps , it will be a great value for money. Anyway I like new SL3 with new features mainly with battery backup🤗😋 . Thanks ma Bro😎
Thanks bro! I agree. Go to 45 and keep 1080/24 and you have the best camera for the price.
@@TechGearTalk I love photography more than video😉
In that case, how much does eye-detection really matter to you?
@@TechGearTalkwell that's a good feature. does eye detection can compensate 45 autofocus points😜. No no😂
NOPE! Not unless it's like the a7iii and work in the viewfinder :D
Awesome video. You explain so beautifully that its so much easier to understand even for non technical people like myself. Thank you 🙂..... #mishabasu
Thanks so much Misha. You're always so kind 🙏
This is an epic comparison and is extremely helpful to me, a beginner. Thank you for helping me make my decision on what camera to buy. Keep doing what you do!
I'm so glad the video was helpful - thank you for the kind words and support!
Just ordered an sl2 and appreciate the excellent info vid on the cam comparison. The bloopers at the end are pretty entertaining as well, thanks!
Congrats! Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel. I appreciate the feedback about the bloopers. 🙏🏻
whenever im looking for a camera review i always look for your videos first
Thank you. This was a nice comparison. I recently picked up an SL2 at a pawn shop and immediately put it to work as my workhorse for my online sales business. I do my product photography using the SL2 on a tripod, set to square photo format, at low resolution, with external lighting, using live view with the touch shutter. I shoot product videos with it, as well, and get good quality with small file size MP4 files. The WiFi works great. All of my photos taken each day go into a folder for that day, which keeps them organized. The WiFi connection means that I do not ever need to have a cord running from my camera to my computer.. I had been using a 77D, which did everything I needed, but I felt I was wasting a lot of great features of the 77D using it that way, so replaced it with the SL2, and replaced an earlier SL1 with the 77D as my vacation camera. Since the SL2 and 77D share the same battery, and I use a power adapter on the SL2 on the tripod, that gave me an extra battery for vacations. I had wondered about what the SL3 offered, and from your video I can see that while it has some nice features, in the way I would use it ,there is no good reason for me to seek one out.
TGT:
Your explanations, descriptions, and delivery are exceptional. This will not be as helpful to the rookie as it would be to the seasoned camera officionado. For myself, being closer to the rookie side of the scale than the expert side, it would have been very difficult to follow, but my working knowledge of physics helped me to understand most of the discussion. Your delivery is superb, and I would recommend your channel to others. Thank you for showing the outtakes. It brings you back down to human level.
GO Enthusiast
Thanks so much for watching and for all the great feedback!!!
I volunteer at a recycle place that does workshops for special needs kids, we get donations a lot of stuff that works and don't work, in a massive donation from a school with a ton of computers, there was a SL3 (EOS 200D II here in Australia) and the back screen was ripped off, no batteries, no lens. I ended up fixing it, the back screen was there, it was just no longer attached, so i reattached it with hot glue and dreams, and got it tested, it worked. Bought a lens on ebay and aftermarket batteries, and now I got a really damn cool camera now
Very useful now I understand I'm going for my beginner camera SL3.Thank you so much.
I'm just amazed by how good this video is. Very analytical, very explanatory, very likeable guy. Nice work man. Nice!
Much appreciated! Thanks for being part of the channel!
i'm so in for tech channels but your explanation is way understandable and you're not biased to any of it yet still catch your recommendation of which one should we get. bravo brother. keep up the good work!
I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the kind words. Thank you for joining the community 🙏
With the SL2, as a work around for the clean HDMI when live streaming, will it let you stream in 1080pm with using the USB and Canon's web cam software?
Thank you very much! I was trying to decide which one I want to buy, and before your comparison I was going to choose 250d... but now I decided to go for 200d. Simply because of those 24fps at 1080p. I am more of photographer than video maker, but I have in mind some project including cinematic shots, so thats game changer for me.
I’m super glad I was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. What lens/es are you getting?
@@TechGearTalk For now I'm aiming for standard 18-55 IS and Telephoto zoom 70-200, but which ones I'm yet to decide. We'll see what the future holds, cuz I probably won't stop on these two :)
Nice! Here are some suggestions if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/UUPqjPs5Iw8/видео.html
Thank you sir for the video. I'm getting an entrusting deal in the SL2. I just wanted to know if the difference between both was overwhelming to a point that i might regret not saving for SL3. But your video helped me realizing that it's not the case. No crippling differences here like the ones we see between SL1 and SL2, for instance.
I watched like 7 or if not more of your camera review videos before I FINALLY decided on the camera I was getting 😂 (which is the SL2).

Another AWESOME review. Very informative and straight-forward. Well done Sir.
Appreciate the support and kind words 🙏🏻
A couple questions. I watched the video and have seen others. How are the cameras for night filming and pictures. Specifically focusing with all of the excess lighting. My son is mainly interested in fire related scenes (fires, accidents, vehicles), currently he is using an ipod and we know that while that is okay he wants to get a better camera. Of all of the videos I've seen, nothing has said anything about night time action. Originally I was liking the sl2 over the sl3, but then realizing the 3 had just a bit better edge. He doesn't want to spend past 700, but he gets it. Quality of finished product is based on pricing.
1. Night time photo and video actions for cameras. Pretty good or with all of the flashing lights still a problem?
2. Shooting from across the street. Short or long lens? Fire engines would sometimes be coming toward him.
Well I just want to get the best video quality in 1080 p so which one I shud consider buying so basically want to do film at night .maybe some day filming as well.not worry to much about taking photos
I will be buying a camera in a month or 2 (waiting for online festive sale) currently 200d is 704.59 usd and 200d ii is 845.54 usd.
I will be using this for photography mostly and I am a beginner as well so 200d for me.
Thanks a lot for this video, most of the videos online explain just the spec sheet but yours are a really great help to actually understand the value for money and lot of other little details!! Love from India
I'm so glad the video was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and for the support!
Can canon's SL3 stream live and record simultaneously without affecting the clean HDMI output taken for streaming. I mean whether the red indication of the record button will show in the live stream. Please also indicate the third party gearwhich i should buy for a power back up by using a dummy battery and a power bank for continuous live streaming in case of SL3
I have never tried recording internally while streaming because I always record externally (since there is no time limit). Here ist he power adapter: geni.us/sl2-sl3-usb-power-1
Thank u

I was leaning towards T7 because it was cheaper but after going through so many videos. Is not about the lenses but more so how you handle it and what the camera has to offer. Also t7 audio jack sucks since there isn’t one. Then leaned towards Sl2. After comparing Sl2 vs T7i I leaned towards SL2. I said wth why not VS SL3. I thing you won me over. Not due to 4K but I think I want SL3 now. Ughhh 🤦🏻♂️ I think long run best investment would be SL3..right? Sorry all over the place researching.
Im going for an entry level DSLR . In your opinion which one is better? SL2/3
Hi. Did you watch this until the end? The section where I name all the different uses, which one are you?
@@TechGearTalk i want to use the cam for photography ...not videography
How important is. Ether battery life and eye detection af?

Hi David, glad the video was helpful! CONGRATS on the SL3!
This is not a review, it is a master class.
Oh wow... 😳
Thank you
Very nice review thank you very helpful I will only need this for Long exposure astrophotography using a telescope I think it should work without breaking the bank Oh one more ? does it have an option for bulb mode
Thanks Tim, appreciate the feedback. Yes, both have BULB when shooting in manual.
15:03 Lol, talking about the eye-focus killer feature and having the picture blurred on a footage. Nice comparison after all thou.
Glad I could entertain 😉
I've seen a few of your videos and trust your opinion. This will be my first DSLR and chances are good for a future upgrade, so the SL2 makes more sense to me. Thanks for doing this video.
Glad the video was helpful John - appreciate the kind words!

Hi a small question
You talk about not being able to film in 24 fps with the SL3 for NTSC, but you can film in 25 fps on pal.
Can't you just switch between these options? (I think you showed that on the video, so I feel like I'm missing the problem) because I like that NTSC has 60 fps but I'm European.
Yes, you can switch. The reasons for PAL VS NTSC has to do with frequencies in electricity delivery which could cause a flicker effect if used in the wrong zone. Hope this makes sense
Tech Gear Talk I think so, but thanks for the answer 😊👍
It will basically depend on your lighting. If you shoot in the wrong format, you could get a constant light flicker.
Tech Gear Talk Aah now I see, thanks 😅👍
🙏🏻 you’re very welcome.
I love your channel! You are definitely my go-to for camera and gear reviews😊 Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
Sorry for the newbie question, but isn't higher the better in terms of fps? Wouldn't 1080p @60 fps look better than 1080p @24 fps even in cinema view?
Superb, balanced and mature review of the SL's !
Thanks so much, i really value you input. Which one did you like better?
@@TechGearTalk I am a pro photographer (Canon) with over 20 yrs of experiance and for the last few years have been a camera sales person . I have not yet had a chance to extensively use the SL3, but the SL2 has always been huge bang for the buck and a sweet spot on the cost/performance graph. Thanks !
amazing to have you as part of the community. Thank you for all your insight.
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking to replace my old 550D that I have very good memories with. I'm looking for a small DSLR with pretty good specifications. I was going to select SL2 but 4K Timelapse made me think about SL3.
I have a question if both of the cameras have an option to disable AGC (Auto Gain Controller). I have had big problems with AGC disabling and thankfully Magic Lantern helped me.
Hello! Can you please explain why you have to crop 4k video? What problem does that solve? Great videos and definitely earned a sub.
This really helped me decide. It's sl3 for me, Primarily for better focus with more focus points. I already have a M6, but sometimes both my wife and I need to shoot at the same time. She has a keen eye but doesn't care to know about anything other than turning it on and taking photos. She does not like the larger cameras and thinks the M6 is too small. Unless I find a screaming deal on an SL2, it's the SL3 for me.
Thank makes it was to me. I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
A great video! I am thinking of SL3 as it is within my budget and the specifications seem to be good. But, I need to make the right decision. I want your advice, please. What is the best budget camera in general for a person who is just going to learn photo and videography and also can use the same camera for the initial years of a Photo and videography career? Areas will be covering Weddings, newborns, parties, and portraits. (it doesn't have to be between SL2 or SL3, but can be any brand or model. The main thing is I should be able to use it during the initial stage of my work ) Thank you
Amazing review! Do you know how much time does SL2 and SL3 record? Like the max size of the video in minutes... And also the battery duration for videos. I am about to buy the SL3 to start with better video productions, currently I shot on smartphones. Galaxy S9 has a great camera but I would like a little bit more now.
Both cameras have a 30 minute record limit (for a single clip). As far as battery life, I do this (with a different part number) for both cameras: ruclips.net/video/TOpsG_jlEbU/видео.html
Hi there! Trying to figure whether the SL2 or the SL3 is better for me. I am a beginner, planning on getting a camera for photography of indoor events for school, and general family use when traveling and going on trips. I plan to use video here and there, but nothing professional.
I notice a lot of people discussing the SL3 lacking the 1080/24, but it also doesnt have the ability to add a third party flash (which I'm not sure I'm going to be using anyway, at least right now). How important is the eye recognition over these other aspects given my use?
PS - Finding a $100 difference, and my budget is $900 max. Looking to get the Sigma 17-50 lens for all around use but I was also recommended the Tamron SP 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di.
Which is better for me? Thanks!
I am also looking at buying the 250D on Friday and I am interested in the eye detection in video mode. Is it making a real difference when compared to the M50 and 200D ?! It would have been amazing to see an actual comparison side by side, since this is one of the main selling points of this camera.
@Isaac Attia - you've outlined the things I don't like about the SL3 (no 1080/24 and removal of the hot shoe center pin). For me, the hotshoe is less important. Eye recognition is really nice for portraits, you're going to appreciate it. Especially if you're shooting with a shallow depth of field and it's important you get that closest eye in focus.
Look, I've lived without it for years and so has everyone else, so it's not a deal breaker, but it's nice to have.
@sebastianFM - For video, it's a little less important because the face detection is pretty good and there is usually motion blur anyway.
Again, nice to have, not critical.
This video is what I have been looking, someone to help break down everything for first time buyers like myself. With that said I’m going for the SL3.
I'm super glad that the video was useful to you and thank you for the kind words and support 🙏
I appreciate your style - very articulate, to the point and calm - so refreshing!
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave feedback. Glad to have you as part of the community! Which did you like better?
great video again! theres an interesting topic i can suggest, if you use gimbals, the sl2 doesn't work well with strong ones, jittering, lack of balance makes it almost unusable. keep up the good work! thanks for another video.
Thanks for the input! I use the Moza Air 2 and I haven't had any issues with mine. Maybe I'll do a tutorial and a demo.
@@TechGearTalk mines the one cheapest thing there is on amazon, its the hohem isteady gear... honestly, i had to buy it because it was the cheaper one, but i had less regrets doing worst than this.
I would never recomend this gimbal to anyone, i should make a video about it though my channel isn't about tech anymore.
Thanks for the feedback on the comment, ill wait for it
I appreciate the insight. I've never used that one and it's good to know that people should avoid it.
