    I now understand why photographers have two or more cameras. There is no all in one. Some will just be better at certain things than others.

      @julmaass 4 года назад +5

      at entry level maybe. More advanced cameras really do have a huge range of features. unfortunately a lot of these entry level ones are intentionally limited , particularly the D3000 series in my opinion.

      No, they have two cameras, but usually are identical, but with different prime lenses because they can't afford changing lenses in a photo shoot. Having two different cameras makes you slower

    I was asked by my father to look for him a good but cheap decent camera that he can use during his retirement trips across the country. And me, got like 0 knowledge about Cameras and Photography since I'm more of a PC / Gaming guy, had to roam around youtube and Google for tips and reviews for any beginner class and affordable camera and I stumble upon your content. I was at first torn between the two said cameras, but I'm clearly going for Nikon D3500 now. The review and comparison between the two was very comprehensive and even someone like me who's a total newbie to this whole thing did understood the whole process and length of the video. 28mins was really worth it! God bless you sir. Thank you

    Nikon D3500 owner, bought as a hobbyist and now moving into professional work (where we shoot w/ Canon 5Ds), I'll share my thoughts. I love my camera, if I were to start over again I might actually have purchased a used 3300 or 3400 instead and spent the money I saved on an extra lens. The lack of external remote for the 3500 means that I've had to use the painfully slow and underwhelming smartphone app for timed shots or self portraits. The 3300 actually has the port to hook up an external intervalometer, and I would have loved the opportunity to do timelapse photography. The more I learned my camera the more I longed for a dedicated iso button (although when shooting wildlife I actually prefer shooting manual with auto-iso enabled). I plan on upgrading to an older full-frame d750 and if you're purchasing a camera with the idea of maybe using it professionally I highly recommend saving up for full frame that has all the bells and whistles. Features to look for: Built-in Timelapse options, because why not, compatibility with with external remotes, AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) which is great for doing some real-estate work on the side, A Dedicated ISO button, Back-Button AF, and >5+ FPS for action and wildlife photography

    • @photogenius
      @photogenius  2 года назад +1

      I love the D3500 but agree that it was a mistake by Nikon to remove some of the features like the Fn (ISO) button and the ability to use the wireless remote. The D750 is a great camera and there are some great second hand deals around as people are selling them to go mirrorless.
      Thanks for watching.

    Canon Rebel T7 and Nikon D3500 are two professional cameras combine with quality features. And if you want to pick the best one, then we recommend you the Nikon D3500.
    Why Do We Recommend The Nikon D3500?
    (1) Nikon D3500’s maximum ISO range is 25600, and Canon Rebel T7’s maximum ISO range is 12800. The higher ISO range will help you to capture perfect and detailed photos even in low lights.
    (2) This camera has a powerful battery (EN-EL14a Li-Ion Battery), so you can capture approximately 1550 frames by charging it once. Besides, with T7 (LP-E10 x 1 Li-ion Battery), you can capture only 600 frames.
    (3) Nikon D3500 has active D-lightning which will optimize high contrast images and make sure you get the shadow and highlight detailed images every time. But this feature is not available in T7.
    (4) The autofocus of this camera is 11 points and T7 has 9 autofocus points. So, D3500 is going to help you to focus on a particular object better than the T7.
    (5) The continuous shooting speed of D3500 is 5 frames per second whereas T7’s continuous shooting speed is 3 frames. D3500 will help to capture fast-moving objects like cars, birds more accurately than the T7.
    (6) The image sensor size of the Nikon D3500 is 23.5 mm x 15.6 mm and T7’s image sensor size is 22.3mm x 14.9 mm. With a bigger image sensor size, D3500 will ensure better low-light performance and low noise images.
    (7) This camera is a built-in microphone, which will make the video recording with sounds easier for you. But there are no microphones in T7.
    (8) With this camera, you can transfer your files faster as this camera has a USB 3.0 interface. On the other hand, T7 has a USB 2.0 interface.
    (9) Nikon D3500’s weight is 365 grams and Canon Rebel T7’s weight is 427grams. The lightweight D3500 will help you to capture stabilized photos.
    Nikon D3500 would be a perfect camera for you since it has high-end features, so we suggest you pick this one.

    Both are great cameras. If you're on a budget and looking for a good beginner camera, Nikon does the job well. If you are getting into mid-level and professional photography, Canon are definitely the most recommended. But it all depends on what you're looking for in a camera and what suits your needs most, imo. Great video, thanks for sharing.

    I am on my 4th DSLR now and finally found a winner.
    First I got a D3200 and couldn't really figure it out.
    Sold it.
    Couple years later, bought a D3400 and remembered why I sold the D3200.
    Sold it.
    So I did a little research, bought a Canon SL3.
    Doesn't focus.
    Try spending more money on lenses.
    Doesn't focus well enough.
    FINALLY, I found a great deal on a Canon T6i.
    This thing shows great promise and potential.
    It's heavier and the others, but it is going to be MY DSLR companion.

    Another informative video from you Paul. But what I like best? That you don't come down on one side or the other. You give pluses and minuses and leave us to make our minds up. I am looking to upgrade my old Nikon D3200 so this has been useful. I will stick with Nikon as I have a few Nikkor lenses. But without the ability to attach my intervelometer, it would make my night time shots just a bit too difficult. Have to look further up the line I guess.

    A newbie to camera (I am mostly point and shoot or iPhone photographs), I found your presentation very interesting and informative. Best of all I liked the fact that whilst talking of a particular function you had the slide of that image to show what it exactly looks like and how to operate those modes. Thank you for such a great video. With this said, I am leaning towards NikonD3500. Is there anywhere I can get a full tutorial of actually how to use each function - I am more of a visual : like videos, rather than a reader : reading manuals and instructions.

    Thanks for clarity. I think that I may take this info to decide what I really need in a camera. I think ide rather spend more than these entry level cameras if I can find one in a suitable price range. Like you said, pick a camera that you can move into in the near future. Even though I feel that both of these cameras would be good for portrait and landscape with the correct lense, I feel like it might be a better use of $ to buy a camera that can film moving and still images and that has the ability for an external mic. It's difficult to chose between these two cameras. I think I need to look fir one that is well suited for my needs.

    To be honest, I tried a T7 and D3500 once. From a build standpoint, the Nikon felt more solid. Plus the kit lenses that Canon bundles with their entry-level REBELs tend to use the older style DSLR lens where the AF motor is quite loud. Nikon's are very quiet. In this market, I would say that Nikon win. But in the ML, Canon wins.

    Very very well put together video. I just cooked breakfast for Father’s Day so I couldn’t watch but I listened and I’ve learned more in your video than on the actual websites. Great info for a beginner like myself. Thank you for not speaking camera jargon without explaining what these terms mean. Really great video!!

    Great info, cheers. I want the WiFi of the canon and the snappy 5fps option of the Nikon and the faster focus of the Nikon too. (Fussy bugger that I am). For a similar cost what camera would you recommend? Thanks.

    May I ask, as a former film photographer stuck now with an iPhone and no decent computer, but preferring the Nikon here, how does one get the photos off the thing? Can you bluetooth them to your phone? To google photos? How? I would buy tonight if I could clear this mystery up.

    One of the things no one talks about is which camera will give you the most bang for the buck before you'll need to upgrade to a new camera. If you are serious about photography and don't want to have to upgrade your camera in a year or two definitely get the Nikon. I shot with a Nikon D3300 for years before upgrading to the D7500. Honestly, I was very happy with the D3300 but when I began to use more sophisticated editing software I upgraded to the D7500.

      Which Is one of the reasons I would avoid entry level dslr cameras full stop.
      Anyone with more then a passing interest in photography would be far better off looking a picking up a good second hand mid range dlsr instead as a compromise.
      Reason being a new entry level dslr could be mastered quite quickly, and then the user finds the camera lacking in certain features that are to be found on more advanced mid range cameras, higher shutter speed range, faster focusing, better performance at higher ISO values, better performance in low light, night time photography, a flip out screen offering much more flexibility, not to mention a weather sealed body, particularly useful for outdoor photography, landscapes, seascapes etc...
      So for not a whole pile more then you would pay for a new entry level dslr. Which you would quickly find lacking, in terms of features, which would mean you'd upgrade before long anyway, you could get yourself a much more advanced second hand midrange dslr camera packed with features which would quickly improve your photography and not for a huge initial outlay.
      The second hand market if full of such cameras offering great value for money. Things to look out for include low shutter count, comes in original packaging, with neck strap, charger and battery etc... You don't always have to buy new.

    Hi Paul,,, that was a brillient and informative review,,, Im a canon user myself,,, but loved Nikon from an early age. especilly the film cameras,,, (showing my age now) just on one point,,, you mentioned about the size and weight of the cameras,,, and the Nikon being the smaller and lighter,,, Over my long years in photography,,, especilly with the women photographers, ive known and come into contact with all say that the more professional type cameras are to big and heavy for them,,, so they all go for the smaller lighter models available,,, even bridge cameras in some cases, just because of the weight,,, I dont know if you have many women in your subscribers or on your courses as it might be more of an issue to them,,, especilly if they are more on the petite side,,, (just a thought). Great review tho, Cheers

    Hi Paul, I have the canon 550d from 2010. Just getting back into photography. Is that still a good camera to start with still. I also have the Sony alpha 6000. Both cameras have the kit lens. Let me know your thoughts.
    Cheers
    Steve

    • @julmaass

      Hi Steve, I have the A6000, it has a really good sensor, great in low-light, much better than the Canon 550d. It depends what type of photography you want to do, and what lenses. Nikon/Canon DSLRs have more lens ( i recommend choosing a camera based on the lenses you need). The canon you have is decent in good light, but will not do well in dimmer light, sensors have improved a lot since the 550d. Sony Alpha series have a limited choice of lenses, but I recommend the following in order of preference: the sony 35mm f1.8 (a good standard walk around prime lens, its the classic nifty 50), the Samyang 12mm F2.0 for ultrawide, the zeiss 16-70 f4 is excellent but expensive, and the sony 55-200 if you need more reach. I'm moving on from A6000 because I want more choise and going for Nikon because i've done my research and found lenses i think would work for me better than sony, I also prefer better Autofocus of modern SLRs. I don't know that much about Canon , but if i liked portraits and good colour straight out of camera , then a more modern Canon is a great choice. If you're not sure, don't stay stuck at home. The A6000 is an excellent camera especially with the kit lens, it's also pocket size, so no excuse for leaving at home.

    Wow! After two days of reading and watching reviews of these two cameras, I FINALLY found one that said all I wanted and needed to know. Since a year or so I'm visiting lots of graveyards and photographing them with my Samsung Galaxy S10. Which are pretty good pictures for a smartphone. Now I want to switch to a camera so I can upgrade my pictures a bit. So I was sure I wanted a beginnersmodel, not a professional camera. I want to learn , and not get lost in details and technique. Second reason is that I don't want to spend too much money! :-D This review gave me the chance to make a decent comparison. For me, I think the Canon will do the trick. Thanks for this awesome video! You have a new fan! ;-)

    Great video and so useful, just like the others I have watched. I am now a subscriber. I am not sure if I should upgrade from my compact Canon sx710 hs, or stick for a while. My main concern with my camera is the narrow aperture levels, range of only f3.2 to f8. What do you think?
