Update: Thank you so much. I had no regrets buying this camera. Your video helped a lot while I was testing out the features. I also took photos of my classmates and they loved it. God bless you! You deserve more subscribers 😊🙌
Just wanted to say I don't usually watch videos this long but you did a great job and I watched it till the end, I wish you could maybe do a video on the best settings for beginners and show how to blur pictures Ik it's aperture mode but it's complicated at times and if possible how did you get the lights on those passing cars to show streaks? Amazing it would be very helpful to me and alot of youtubers ty sir I subbed your channel friend 😀
Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel!:) I created a couple of other videos that you might find helpful ... ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html (this is all about modes outside of Auto), ruclips.net/video/TbSgl5e6h7I/видео.html (trailing car lights), ruclips.net/video/P9o3jyPaybw/видео.html (steel wool night shots) ... this leverage the Nikon D3400 for the most part but the same logic applies to Canon:).
Thanks for asking this question,,,,,...been finding it hard to ask ,not sure pros have a thing for rookies like (yet to get my t6i Buh I’m pretty infatuated enough to want to know)
Great to watch this older review in 2023, I've always loved Canon dslrs, but I bought the T5i (700d in the uk). My 700D has been and still is an amazing camera. Thanks.
Tons of great information!!! Wish I would've seen this video before I bought this camera. But I'm mainly using it for video and it was a huge jump up from my smart phone so I'm still happy. Definitely wish it was 1080p 60fps
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The camera will do a solid job for video:). I do not shoot 60fps much unless I need to slow down action.
Love your videos! I think I have narrowed my first DSLR purchase to the Canon T6i and Nikon D5500. I am really struggling with the decision. I will be primarily using for photography...maybe the occasional video. On paper the D5500 seems like a clear winner. I also have read multiple sources who believe Nikon to be a better brand for photos. I know it really depends on the person behind the camera...if it was your best friend or family member asking...would you go T6i or D5500??
such a great video for someone who's just purchased this. Love this video, delighted to have come across you through searching reviews of the product. Love it, love the entire video, congrats, thanks for all of the useful, knowledgeable and balanced info. Hat tip to you! 🎩
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) The T6i is a great capable camera. I used the Nikon D3400 for a number of videos simply because I had quick access to one when discussing other topics. Nonetheless, each video can be applied to any camera including the T6i ... most are not camera specific rather they focus on various techniques, etc.
I've had this camera for the last 5 years. It was my first DSLR, so I can't compare it to Nikon or any other brand, nor am I interested in doing so. I have bought various Canon EFS/EF lenses for it and have been delighted with both the quality of the lenses and the options they have given me. I have to say that I've had an incredible time with the T6i and would recommend it to anyone interested in dipping their toe into the wonderful world of photography. I'll be moving on soon (probably to the Canon 90D, if I can get the cash together) for three reasons: battery life, frames per second and build. At the end of the day, I can honestly say that owning the T6i has changed my life. I don't work for Canon, by the way :-).
Thanks for the post/feedback Peter!:) Something I have come to realize over the years is that each major manufacturer makes solid/decent gear for the most part (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Fuji, etc.). The T6i is a solid camera to gain a better understanding in the world of photography. I have been looking at the Sony lineup and may jump soon as well:).
Excellent review. Bought this camera today and your video made me feel a lot more comfortable with it. Going to primarily use to vlog and take pics of my new grand baby
I'm so glad I doscovered this channel! I live about 1/2 mile from the park where you were shooting and about that far from downtown where you took your night photos :)
The Nikon D5500 has more focal points (39), BUT the Nikon has just 9 cross-type sensors and the Canon T6i has all 19 focal points as cross-type sensors, and that makes difference if focal points are important for you.
Agreed and good point:). Cross-type will yield better/tighter focus - the more the better especially for moving subjects across the frame. I typically leverage my center focal point and recompose if needed.
RealWorld this video really is going to help me with may New camera I just got I been wanting one Canon EOS t6iD. Thank to may husband, and now thanks to this video.
Thank you for this! I loved your shots and how you reviewed it. I am planning to get this as I begin my photography/filmmaking journey and this helped a lot! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
This is the camera I have pretty much decided on, thanks in large part to your videos. Thank you for a good honest look. You have some great music in your videos, by the way!
I'm sticking with nikon. I did eleventy billion hours of research before I bought my camera and chose the one I did because it seemed to me that I could do anything with it. I very often ask people in the know if they think I'm into it over my head financially. My plan was to buy lenses and equipment that would transfer over if I wanted to go to a better body. But hey, who am I kidding. How much can I shoot from a wheelchair. I'm an amateur and the best I can hope for is to be a good one. I can do tons of stuff with guys like you around actually. One being macro. I'm rigged up for that fairly well. So thanks for the honest test. My daughter is a photographer, weddings an outdoor and is a cannon girl so we now have a new subject to argue about. How bout another test on that D3400? What a great camera to learn on. The other is shooting in raw. I'm still not with it on that one. This stuff goes whizzing by and I write down a lot of subjects to study but as y'all can clearly see P.T.S.D. AND A.D.D. HAS ITS WAY WITH ME. wave something shiny in front of me and you have me.
Hi Andy and thanks for the post!:) Both Nikon and Canon are great systems in my opinion. I have shot with both and stick with Nikon simply because I have more Nikon lenses:). I created a video on the Nikon D3400 and put it through the paces (not certain you saw it - ruclips.net/video/cORINOaLSTk/видео.html). I have friends that shoot Canon, Nikon, and/or Sony ... always a good discussion:).
This video helped me out so so much! I am looking for a great entry level DSLR and this video might have made me choose which one I want! The cons were ok but I could live with it. The photos were just amazing. I love photography and I love to make videos! Keep up the good work! :)
Great review sir. Very good job, thank you. I'm about to buy my first DSLR and the 750d is one of my options.. Things that hold me back is lack of 60fps at highest res, low battery performance and the fact that this camera is not weather resistant, as I would like to take it with me at the beach and such adventures. Image quality seems impressively good to me, given the fact that you used the standard, not of such high quality, kit lens. Did you edit and post process the pictures or are these the actual colours the camera produces? (it's probably the first one, just need to confirm tho hehe)
I love this video it's really helped me to see the capabilities of the camera please ensure you make more videos like this they're immeasurably useful!
Would you purchase a canon t6i or a nikon 3500 (I have found black friday sales on both)? I have watched both your reviews, but I still can't decide. I love capturing my family and want room to improve my skills.
Both are solid, but I might lean towards the T6i especially if you plan to capture video with the camera. Canon did a great job with their STM lenses and auto focus system:). Nikon removed the AA filter which is nice as this tends to soften images. If you have no plans to capture video, you might want to consider the D3400 as it should be on sale since the D3500 was just release (the image quality between both will be the same as they share the same sensor and resolution:)).
Great review. I'll be using my first unit to shoot independent music vids as well as fitness vids mostly, but also some still shots. Let's say at a ratio of 70% vid 30 %photo, which would you recommend?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). If you are on a relatively tight budget and plan to shoot more video than photos, I would consider the T6i or the Nikon D3300 (not 3400 (the 3400 does not have an external mic port)). The T6i comes with an STM lens which is Cannon's silent auto focus lens (works great). Nikon comes with the AF-P (the P is Nikon's silent auto focus lens (works great as well). For better audio consider using a Rode mic or the like. This is a small external boom mic that connects to the external mic port and attached to the external flash slot. You might also consider the Zoom H1 and a cheap lavalere mic (this is what i use - ruclips.net/video/4StJ6QmYvpQ/видео.html).
RealWorld What do you think of the Sony RX10 iv do you think is a good Camera for all types of taking pictures the only problem you can't change the lens .
I keep coming back to this video, and others of your videos as well. Thanks for your good work. I have this camera, and I have a question about bracketing. I believe when bracketing is set up the camera is supposed to fire off three exposures by holding down the shutter button. But mine doesn’t do that. It will take three bracketed photos, but only with three separate shutter clicks. Not a big deal, but I wonder if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks again.
Thanks for the post/question Mike:). Sounds like you are on the right path although I believe you can also hold down the shutter button until all 3 images are captured.
Hello and thanks for the post/feedback!:) I used a Sony a5100 to shoot this video. In addition, I used a Zoom H1 along with a cheap lavaliere mic:). Here is a quick video on the Zoom H1 and lavaliere mic - ruclips.net/video/4StJ6QmYvpQ/видео.html
By adding European name of this camera is a display of professionalism from your side, unlike many of the same camera reviews from your fellow Americans..
Thanks for the feedback:). I chat with people all over the world and quickly recognized the naming differences ... a bit confusing at first and not certain why the name changes on various makes and models:).
Good vid. Just got one as an upgrade from my T1i. I will mention a do own a Sony a6000 as well so the T1i wasn't the only camera i had but was the only dslr. Have only taken a couple shots with it so far and I really like it. I know this video is old but was still a good one to watch if you are just getting a T6i
Thanks for the movie. Is 750D better than 4000D? I now have a 4000D and want to upgrade my camera. Which model do you suggest? (Consider also economically)
Glad to be of help!:) Yes, the 750D is a nice step-up from the 4000D ... higher max ISO, higher resolution, more focal points, articulating touch screen, etc. :)
@@RealWorld Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately,4000D has a high noise level and all my photos were rejected by Shutterstock. Even at ISO 100, it has significant noise.
Great review, sir! I've been using the Samsung NX300 mirror-less camera for product photography and have been planning to switch it up a bit. After days of research, going to the store to feel it in my hand, etc, your video helped me make up my mind. T6i it is! Your have a new subscriber! :) Matt Bills, CEO, Elite Wear
Hello Matt - welcome to the channel and thank you for the feedback!:) I am glad you found the video helpful. I just released my first video is a may series of how-to's (found here: ruclips.net/video/6I3jtQfd-sU/видео.html) ... a good first step for entry level DLSR users. I plan to demo with the Nikon D3400 but the message and logic applies to other cameras as well:).
Hey brother, I think I’ve commented on this video before (love your approach, and I have that camera. It’s a good one and I’m really enjoying it.) But I gotta ask: what is the music and who is the artist? I really like it! Thanks.
Thanks for the post/feedback Mike and glad to hear you are enjoying the camera - great camera:). I exchanged messages with the group a couple of years ago - a great group with great music in my opinion:). Music by: J Hacha de Zola (song is 7 League Boots).
watching this video because i'm buying this camera soon.. was pleasantly surprised to see my hometown during the night shots! carmel represent!!! great review as well.
Hi Emma and thank you for the post/feedback!:) Great to hear from someone who is from the area!:) Carmel is a great place with continued growth. I have heard from a few people who recognize the area which is always nice. I plan to create/produce a video in the next few days on night shots. My goal will be to capture trailing lights. I would like to get a good nightscape of downtown Carmel but may head to Indy:). Enjoy the camera!:)
Absolutely amazing video...I am leaning towards this camera with the 18-135mm lens..although im New to this and have only tried a t6i and D3400 in the store, the focus on the t6i is really winning me over so far
I was really confused on whether to get the canon T6i or the Nikon D5500 and right at the end you answer my question. Thank you for your review it was really good.
Great video sir. I am looking to upgrade from my Canon EOS t6 rebel but i cant decide between the t6i or t7i. I would like to do videos but more than likely it will be mostly for photography. Any advice? Thanks! Love your content
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:) I might lean to the t7i if your budget allows for it. The t7i has a better battery, higher max ISO, more focal points, and built-in time lapse. The image quality will be very similar though:).
Would you recommend this one or the Nikon 5600D? I'm really torn between them. I'm a beginner and want to be able to catch good photos and maybe make videos for RUclips. I've watched both of your reviews...but basically, WiFi and touchscreen are important for me, as well as a good battery life. Thank you very much!!!✨
Thanks for the post/question Inna!:) I might lean towards the D5600 for various reasons ... more focal points, higher max ISO, better battery life (820 shots vs 440), built-in time lapse, better dynamic range, and Nikon removed the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images slightly). Canon's STM lenses and AF system are very nice for video though:).
@@RealWorld thank you for the answer!!! After reading some comparison reviews, I think I'm set on the 5600D😊 your reply helped as well, thanks again ❤️
This is really a nice video and really like the way you presented it. I'm wondering between Nikon D5300 and Canon 750D that which camera I should buy... In this video sample images are really good in terms of clarity, but I am confused with these two above mentioned cameras.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) They are both very close/good and I give a slight edge to the D5300 for a couple of reasons. 1 - the D5300 lacks the AA filter. The AA filter tends to render slightly softer images so having a camera without the filter is nice:). 2 - the D5300 has more focal points. This is not a huge deal for me but perhaps worth noting for some. 3 - better battery life (600 shots vs 440).
Came here to decide if this camera would be a good upgrade for my wife, but stayed for my own interest. Fantastic video! I subscribed and am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Best,
Hi , awesome insights on the camera, great picture and background music. Worth subscribing to your channel. I am planning to buy the Canon 750 D but confused about the lens choice. Should I pick 18-55 mm STM or the 18-135 mm STM lens ? and why ? Please help. Thanks.
Thanks for the post and welcome to the channel!:) If given the choice, I would go for the 18-135 STM. The main reason is versatility. I have shot for a long time using various lenses including the standard 18-55. On many occasions I wanted more reach so I would swap to a larger zoom and then back and then back again:). I eventually got the Nikon 18-200 which I have used for years ... it is my primary all-around lens. The 18-135 is a great lens and will satisfy most needs in my opinion.
Well done. Indeed, the Nikon D5500 is less expensive, has more features and better WiFi, shoots 1080P at 60fps and does NOT have that nasty, sharpness and detail killing low-pass filter in front of the sensor. Even if you started off with Canon, I'd recommend ditching them and going with Nikon, unless you have a large investment in lenses (and maybe even then).
Hello Patrick and thank you for the feedback/comment!:) I agree on all points made:). The Canon STM lenses are great for video, so look for the Nikon AF-P lenses if you down the D5500 path and want to shoot video w/ AF. I also feel the Canon line in general does a good job at rendering color. Nonetheless, would have been nice to see 1080p at 60fps:).
I apologize if I mentioned this before, but I strongly suspect that Canon is including a firmware correction for their low-pass filter sharpness problems in those STM lenses, and not telling us. People are reporting "L" lens results from the STM 55-250, and that just makes no sense for a $300 lens otherwise. If this is so, they should release it to everyone, but with Canon I wouldn't hold my breath. My D5500 is on it's way, along with a Sigma 17- 50 f/2.8.
Thank you for the additional feedback:). Curious to see if/when Canon will address the AA filter. I also suspect a firmware update could resolve the auto ISO cap I discovered/mentioned (this should extend to the max native ISO IMO). Enjoy the D5500 and nice choice on the lens!:)
Here's a little snippet from the Canon Web site: Low-pass filter effect cancellation For photographers wanting the ultimate in high resolution capture, the EOS 5DS R camera has a low-pass filter* (LPF) effect cancellation. While a low-pass filter is useful to reduce color artifacts and moiré typical with digital capture, it also reduces detail at the pixel level. With the LPF disabled, the EOS 5DS R takes full advantage of the original resolving power of the camera's 50.6 Megapixel sensor. More detail is captured and retained in the original image, perfect for landscape and commercial applications where pixel-level detail is scrutinized and when the sharpest possible image is needed. So what about the rest of us Canon?
This was a great video, although i have one question. When you say one of the cons for the T6i is its battery life, how long is the battery life? I've been looking into buying a first DSLR camera so i can shoot videos of nature from night to day and I would like to know if you think this camera has enough battery life to shoot for more than 12+ hours?
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I have shot a full day of photos on one battery but this will depend upon the usage. If you wanted to leave the camera on a record video most of the time - no, the battery will definitely not last:). You can always purchase extra batteries to keep with you though.
Unfortunately, all cameras will have the same limitation:). In addition, the max amount of video will be capped at 30 mins per continuous recording as this is another limitation imposed by various technological challenges.
Thanks for this review sir..... I’ve an old EOS 350d which I’ve had since 2004.... I’ve seen mint condition 750d would this be a good upgrade as they are very affordable now...... hope you don’t mind me asking.....regards Fred
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I have used the Sony a5100 and a6000 (both mirrorless) along with a handful of DSLRs over the years. Mirrorless are interest/capable/powerful cameras in my opinion. The menu system along with the feel is completely different from a traditional DSLR. The biggest challenge is battery life ... if you carry a spare or two, this is not a problem. In addition, I was challenged with the viewfinder on the a6000 (same holds true for most mirrorless cameras). Since mirrorless cameras do not have a mirror to reflect subjects through the lens, they must us a digital display of some sort. If you are new to the world of photographer, this may not be a big deal. If you come from the world of mirrored cameras, you will find this a bit odd ... not to say this is bad, just different/odd:). One big benefit to mirrorless cameras is size ... mirrorless cameras are just as capable as their mirrored counterparts only in a smaller form factor which can be nice. I recently climbed a mountain with my older Nikon D7000 ... a beast of a body which is weather sealed but relatively heavy to carry a looooong way in my opinion:). Nonetheless, I do like the Sony a6000, a6300, and a6500 although they can overheat when shooting long contineous video clips:).
I would lean towards the D5600 for various reasons ... better battery life (820 shots vs 440), higher max ISO (25600 vs 12800), time lapse is included on the D5600, and Nikon removed the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
nice vid man are you using the kitlens in your sample photos right there? I am new to photography and I have this camera, I am wondering if you got a video tutorial for newbies using this cam? cause I’m really confused about shutter speed and aperture and I always get a blurred or dark photo whenever I try to shoot 😔
thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) i plan to do a deeper dive into this particular camera at some point, but in the meantime i created the following video which might be of help (concepts are the same but i use a nikon for demo): ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html
Hello from your neighbor over in Ohio! I have family in Carmel. Its a beautiful town! I am looking at one of these used and checked your buying guide. Do you still reccomend this camera today?
Thanks for the post and welcome from Carmel!:) I have been to Ohio many times to visit the Air Force museum (which is awesome), Kings Island, and Cedar Point!:) Yes, this camera is still relevant today in my opinion although the T7i is another consideration (a nice follow-up to the T6i).
I thought you presented a wonderful review of this Canon camera. I do have the Canon EOS Rebel t5 and have been enjoying it a great deal. The only part that I take issue with is that folks have a tendency to label the t5 as a beginners camera. I believe it is far beyond a start up camera as I do with the Canon T6i. Both are very reliable, solid build and produce excellent results. At best I would say that the Canon t6i is squarely between intermediate and advanced levels. I do have both the Canon EF-S 18~55mm IS, II lens and the Canon EF-S 55~250mm IS, II Lens. I am truly impressed with the rapid auto focus on both and also with the awesome IS Image Stabilization system. Thanks again for a very thorough and comprehensive review. Tony.
Thanks for the post/feedback Tony:). You bring up an interesting point ... what is a beginners camera? I would not consider the t5, t6, etc. beginner camera simply because of all the available features. Many photographers might consider the t5, t6, etc. to be an entry level camera which is different than a beginner camera. Entry level simply meaning the first step/line in the world of DSLRs. Entry level cameras are fully capable which why I have created many videos using them. I want people to know they do not need an expensive DSLR to take great shots:).
Thanks for the video, I just purchased this camera refurb from Canon with two lenses for $639. I do like the Nikon d5500 but I had to pull the trigger at this price. I already had a Pentax K10D from about 9 years ago and loved it but time to upgrade and wanted to shoot videos. I also chose canon and pentax because it is what I learned on in high school many eons ago. The video was great, helped me have hope that I made a good choice.
Thanks for the video and glad to be of help:). Sounds like a good deal on the camera - I am a fan of refurbished equipment as well:). The T6i is a nice/solid/capable camera. Take time to practice, practice, practice:).
Brilliant video! Superb quality and advice! I have been looking at this camera for my youtube channel which focuses primarily on unboxing videos. Would this be an over kill for a static 'point and shoot' stance from an overhead height? Im mainly looking for a camera with good quality and good auto focus (due to moving the unboxed items closer for a better view etc). Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I think this would be a great camera for your needs ... not overkill and I suspect the AF system in this camera will handle the subject's movement without much issue.
Great videos, but i have some questions, im trying to buy a DSLR camera but i dont know which is better if the Nikon D3400 or the Canon T6i, i already watched 2 of your vids, this and the Nikon D3400 vid, ¿wich camera do you recomend me of this 2?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). Both do a great job in my opinion and it might come down to price. If I had to lean one way or the other, I might lean towards the T6i if you plan to shoot more video and lean towards the D3400 if you plan to shoot more photos. Canon's STM lens is great at auto focus in video mode:).
Great job with the video! Got a question, I'm stuck! So I'm new to DSLR and I narrowed it down to Nikon D5300 and Canon Rebel T6i I just don't know which one to buy. I'll be using it mostly outside for nature, wildlife, and family events. Mostly taking pictures but I maybe doing videos in the near future. Can you help me decide?
Thanks for the post/feedback Mark and glad to be of help!:) In this case, I would might lean towards the the D5300 if more focused on photos and towards the T6i if more focused on video. This is not to say the D5300 cannot shoot video nor the T6i cannot shoot photos:). If you plan to shoot any video with the D5300, check to see if the included lens is AF-P. AF-P is Nikon's silent focus system which is somewhat comparable to Canon's STM. If you have the AF-S version, you can still shoot video but the auto focus will hunt and hunt and hunt to lock focus:). Canon's STM lens is great/solid at focusing in my opinion (quick and quiet:)). Nikon removed the AA filter which tends to sharpen images more (AA filter is the anti-aliasing filter). The D5300 has a slightly better battery and built-in time lapse. If you have plans to shoot some video and do not have the AF-P lens, go for the T6i:).
This is a great review, I've finally upgraded from my Nikon3100 and purchased this 😊 I hope I will be able to take pictures half as good as you but I'm mostly using it to film 💖
Great review just got this camera set for Christmas I will be putting it to the test. If you need any original music for your videos let me know Instrumentals or Vocals. Keep up the good work!
Hello Tariq - thank you for the question and feedback!:) Sounds like a great buy on the T6i - nice grab:). The T6i has a few advantages over the D3400 IMO ... the fully articulating screen is a big plus, along with the touch screen and additional focal points (19 vs 11) and built-in mic jack. My one grip would be the AA filter ... I would like to see Canon remove the AA filter. Nonetheless, given the price I think you got a good deal and would stay the course:).
Tried the Nikon D5500 and had the 18-55 lense, but I/we didn't like it. We have been regular Canon users before the Nikon. -That might be one main issue. So we're concidering this camera now (EOS 750D) - The last Canon we had was EOS 600D. - We want the 18-135 stm lense to it. Do you think it's a good buy? tnx for a nice video!
Hello and thanks for the post/question:). I like the versatility of the 18-135 and the stm feature is great in my opinion. The D5500 is a great camera but I know what you mean ... if you come from the Canon world, it is different (different feel, different menu, etc.):).
Yes... We also concidered the EOS 760D, but it was almost 100$ more than the 750D and I don't really see us needing the LCD display and the scroll wheel option that the EOS 760D has. - So I think we will go for the 750 with the objective mentioned.
great video well explained I'm new to DSLR, this whole time I been looking at 70D now I have seen this video im confused some say 75D. what would you recommend for a beginner to do videos and photography? is this ideal compared to other models?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). If you are looking to do both photos and video, I would consider the Canon 80D. I reviewed the 80D and one point and felt the camera offered a good/solid mix. Canon's STM lens is great for silent focus. In addition, the touch screen's ability to pull focus was nice and images were sharp.
I know I am a bit late to the party, but I wanted to ask about something :) Is this a good upgrade from the 1100d? I've had that since around 2011/2012, and it just doesn't do it for me anymore :) I've tried the 700d, and I like that one a lot.
Thanks for the post/question and never too late!:) The 750d would be a solid upgrade from the 1100d ... twice the resolution, articulating touch screen, much higher ISO capabilities, etc. etc., etc.:)
You mentioned in the video that Canon is good at their color rendering, is it the same as Nikon D5300? Honestly, back then I was considering Nikon D5300 but after watching this and other reviews of Canon T6i (also watched some reviews about Nikon D5300 as well) I' am really considering buying this camera instead of Nikon D5300. It's 2019 and is it still good to buy a T6i? Can't go beyond this camera's price range and I really think this one (or Nikon D5300) will satisfy me.
The T6i is a solid choice. I like Canon's STM lenses for video but might lean towards the d5300 for photos:). Nikon removed the AA filter (this is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images slightly).
Hmmmm if you are more into video, I might lean towards the 750D (Canon does a great job with their STM lens and AF). If you are more into photos, I might lean towards the D3400 or D5300 (rotating screen). The D3300 and D3500 are solid as well.
thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Nikon produces lenses with an AF-P notation which is their silent auto focus system. AF-P is most desired for video. If you tried to record video with a AF-S lens, the camera will hunt for focus when shooting video (assuming you are not shooting in manual focus). Canon has historically done a great job with auto focus and video.
The main difference between the two is with the screen:). If you do not need a rotating screen, the D3400 will work fine (they both share the same sensor and resolution):).
I am stuck between Nikon d5500 and canon 750d. I am a beginner and want to buy camera for landscape, indoor and portrait photography. I like canon's live view feature.Which camera should I go with.
I have the choice to either buy the 750d for €400 or the 70d for €525. I really want to buy the 50mm STM lens as well but I can (budget-wise) only do so if I buy the 750d. With what choice do you think I will be better off?
Thanks for the post/question:). Many photographers will say to put your money in glass (lenses). Bodies will change but lenses will stay with you (for the most part). If there was a drastic difference between the 750d and 70d, I might lean in one direction vs the other. In this case, they are not too far apart in my opinion:). The 750d has a slight edge over the 70d regarding resolution (24mp vs 20mp). The 70d has a edge over the 750d in battery (920 shots vs 440) and faster max shutter (1/8000 vs 1/4000) and a few other items of less importance in my opinion. If given the choice, I might lean towards the 750d and fixed 50mm (great lens):).
Hi im just between the 3400 or the 750 i like the more photos from 3400 in your Videos but i think im gonna use the mic slot that 750 have. recording concerts etc so u think the 750 is the best choice? Great Videos and happy hollydays
RealWorld ithink that the canon t6i is a better choice for me because im recording concerts just for the mic slot but your photos with the Nikon 3400 are incredible thanks for Answer
Helpful video,Can i ask the best option for general photography (specially for travelling ) Canon 750D or Nikon D5500 ot Sony a6300 or any other ? Thanks...
Hello Shalika - welcome to the channel and thank you for the question:). This is a slippery slope depending on your budget. Given the three cameras, I would lean towards the Nikon D5500. I also really like the Sony a6300 but the battery life is a challenge along with the non-fully articulating screen which may not be a huge deal considering your purpose. The Sony has many interesting features as well along with a notable fast burst rate (11fps vs 5). Unfortunately, the Sony has an AA filter making for slightly softer images. If the Sony and Nikon were the same price, I might lean more towards the Sony:).
Which lense are you using to take pictures in this video? Another Question is , Can I use this Lense -Lense model - FE 40mm f/2.8 STM on 750D? Please answer ASAP.
This was an awesome review on this camera, I just purchased this camera and I love it, I love the picture quality, you had some great photos with this camera, I hope I can achieve that at some point, thanks so much for sharing this great video :)
I would lean towards the D5500:). I D5500 has more focal points, higher ISO, better battery life, and Nikon removed the AA filter from the D5500 (the AA filter is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to cause softer images).
Thanks for the post!:) I would recommend Aperture priority. There is a time and place for manual, but I find Aperture for still images works best (moving subjects are a different story). When in Aperture mode, open it wide (use the lowest possible number) to gain a nice background blur, or leave it narrow (using a high number) to gain more background focus.
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I have a few videos on post processing, but I am thinking to create more as I feel post process is important in the overall creative process. ruclips.net/video/tqd_Cnk-FBM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/ZRJ8aifcin4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/nkh78JifdVc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/pKnpLb32j1w/видео.html
Hello, I found your vids very helpful and interesting, I m thinking to buy a DSLR and this one should be the right one I'm new in this domain of photography and I want to progress, I do have one but very limited in parameters, this one is a bit pricy but I will do my best to have it soon
Brother, which one do you suggest between eos rabel t6i 750 Canon or Nikon d 3300??? Which one has a better performance and better picture quality?..please answer me strange according to your preference or your choice...
I might lean towards the D3300. The T6i has more to offer for video (external mic port, etc.), but Nikon removed the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images). In addition, the D3300 has a higher ISO which can be nice under relatively dark situations if needed. The T6i is a great all around camera though, and I like Canon's STM lenses:).
Enjoy the ride Kara ... a nice/capable camera in my opinion:). Take time to understand all the features, etc. ... give yourself time to explore the camera and have fun. You photo skills will improve with time. I have a bunch of videos on the basics which should be helpful to some extent.
RealWorld yes I’ve been learning a lot off your videos ! you inspired me to get more into photography! You don’t need an expensive camera with expensive lens to take some great pictures. I’m so happy I found your channel! Thank you
Buying myself a first dslr camera, but still doubting between canon 750d/t6i or nikon d5300. Main goal is photos all around. What would you recommend? Thanks for the video too! Gave me great perspective of this camera's possibilities.
If you have any plans to shoot video, I would lean towards the 750d. Canon includes the STM lens in the kit (providing you are getting the kit lens) with is great. If you have no plans to shoot video, I might lean towards the d5300. The d5300 can still shoot video but the focusing system will struggle:).
RealWorld at the moment it's purely photography I'm interested in. But in a few months my first little one will crawl around the house and I think my interests will shift to both photos and video. That's why I'm really torn up about which one😁.
Ahhhhh yes, little ones are a blast (congrats as well!):). I might lean towards the 750d as you will definitely want to capture some video as he or she grows:). The 750d is capable of taking some great shots as well as proven in this video.
RealWorld thank you! 😁 What about the more recent t7i? How does that one compare to the nikon? Iso should be able to shoot higher and has more af points
Thanks for the post/question:). I might lean towards the 200d ( also known as the SL2 - amzn.to/2UZODJ9 ). The 200d offers a higher max ISO, built-in time lapse, higher resolution, better battery life, etc.:)
Good video. You seem really down to earth and honest. I'm just getting into the world of cameras and film, more so on the film side. Just using my iPhone 7 now but I'm torn on what to get on a cheaper budget. I like the Sony a6000 but no audio jack and limited screen articulation bothers me. I like the t6i and have found a nice bundle with a rode mic for $749 but I'm not keen on the film quality. Looking into the Panasonic G7 now. Any suggestions? Thanks and you've gained a subscriber!
Hello - welcome to the channel and thank you for the post/feedback!:) I appreciate the comments and glad to be of help!:) Sounds like you have started your quest into the world of DSLRs - an interesting world of creative possibilities:). Based on your post, I have a relatively good understanding of your direction. If you are more into film, consider the G7 when choosing between the T6i and G7. My only concern is battery life (G7 is rated at 350 shots vs 440 on the T6i), sensor size (four thirds vs APS-C on the T6i), and resolution (16 vs 24). If you are more into photos, consider the T6i. I do have another suggestion which should be slightly cheaper than the T6i, does not have the AA filter (making for slightly sharper images), has the APS-C sensor, fully articulating screen, and has a much better battery life (rated at 820 shots) ... consider the Nikon D5500:). Hope this helps!:)
RealWorld well, I've decided on the g7. 4K video really intrigues me as I see it as a way of the future. Plus, id have a decent camera to take pics on but my main focus is video. Found a g7 at Best Buy open box-excellent condition for $630. I'm not 100% for sure if it was a display model (which bother me a bit) but if it's bad I'll just buy the new one for $800. I think $170 is a good saving though. Thanks for you reply!
Sounds like a nice grab!:) I like the open boxes if they are available (I've bought a few open boxes over the years as well). I have yet to have a bad open box:). Most are displays from Best Buy as I know they tend to send various models back to the manufacture for reconditioning ... think about it like this - if you had the camera and modified various settings, tested it, returned it, Best Buy would not simply place it bad on the shelf. Nonetheless, sounds like you got a good deal and are on the right path. Keep in mind that the content contained in my videos typically apply to any DSLR or in this case mirrorless camera:). Take a quick look at my P, S, A, and M modes to break away from the fully auto mode:). Enjoy the camera and practice, practice, practice:).
For taking largely outdoors photos, and mostly animals, would the Canon T6i, or Nikon D3400 be better? Planing on purchasing today, since Boxing Day Sales are ending.
Thanks for the post/question Ashu:). The big advantage to the T6i is the screen ... the screen is touch sensitive and fully rotating. In addition, the T6i has an external mic port if you want to leverage a microphone, etc. Both cameras share a similar sensor and resolution which will yield similar image quality, however Nikon removed the AA filter from the D3400 (this is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images (the T6i has it and most photographers prefer to have it removed)). In addition, the D3400 has more than double the battery life (1200 shots vs 440). Both cameras are very good in my opinion. If you are looking to shoot video and have a rotating screen, the T6i wins. If you are mainly looking shoot photos and do not need a rotating screen, save a $100 and go for the D3400 ... just my two cents!:) NOTE: I reviewed the D3400 as well which can be viewed here - ruclips.net/video/cORINOaLSTk/видео.html
this is the best camera ever, i bought one like 10 months ago. thats the camera that i use for my channel, this guyswas honest and real with his review.
Hey.. thanks for great video.. please help - Need your advice - am confused - whether to invest bit more n grab a full frame Canon 6D or image quality of APSC is not that different from FFrame - so go for Canon 800D ?? (remote capture is my priority..so cant go with Nikon)
Thanks for the post/feedback/question:). Nikon can remote capture with the right camera (i.e. Nikon D500, etc.). Nonetheless, the difference between a crop and full sensor is always an interesting discussion:). I have shot with both and appreciate the detail capabilities of the full sensor, but it is truly needed? By most users - no in my opinion. People rarely print anymore which means most images are shared with jpegs at relatively low res after post processing. Think about all the images that are shared throughout the web. I feel the polish/creative flow is added in post processing. Another thought is this ... you can go with a crop body and full glass (which works fine). If you upgrade to a full body down the road, you can use the same glass. Ultimately, the goal is get away from full auto and take full advantage of all features offered regardless of crop or full. In addition, regardless of crop or full, camera gear tends to retain value which is good if you want to sell/upgrade down the road:). Hope this helps!:)
RealWorld But even seeing pics via hashtag search of camera models on Instagram or Flickr etc, I found huge difference in quality of fframe models like canon 6d Nikon 750 vs crop.. Didn't want to buy crop, then after month start regretting missed quality
I know the feeling and you are doing the right thing by thinking ahead:). Nonetheless, I suspect many of those photos are edited in post processing to some extent (I do the same). If more people understood the power of post processing, I suspect the camera type would become less important. Nonetheless, a full frame is a great choice but understand that a resulting cool/unique shot is not necessarily caused by the camera rather the resulting cool/unique shot is caused by the photographer's ability to compose image and use the camera (and post process:)).
I've seen some videos where some of the best cellphones take pictures relatively similar in quality as an expensive dslr. Would there be a huge difference in quality comparing the T6i to a Samsung Note 8's camera? Or should I just stick with the Note 8?
Great question which might be worthy of a video:). In short, yes - there is a significant difference between the two:). The major difference is sensor size. The sensor plays a valuable role is capturing information/details from the given shot. The sensor size in a DSLR vs Note 8 or any smartphone is MUCH larger. This will render a much better shot especially in low light situations. If you are taking a landscape shot is bright light and only plan to share the image via cell phones, etc., the two images might appear similar. Noticeable differences will be seen on portraits when wanting to soften the background or shooting in relatively low light. I will use my cell in a pinch or when I want to take a quick photo to share, etc.
I was so set on the Sony a5100 for my first decent camera purchase, but after watching a few reviews on the Canon t6i, I’m stuck. I’d love your opinion though.. Between those two, which would you prefer for photography? I would be doing a lot of photos of people’s faces (while still), and photos of products.. Between the Sony a5100, and the Canon t6i, which camera in your opinion would be better for those needs? Thanks in advance!! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the post/question!:) Since you asked, I will offer my two cents:) ... I would lean towards the T6i. I current shoot videos with a a5100 and have tested/reviewed the T6i. Both are good but are apples and oranges. The a5100 is a mirrorless camera that chews through batteries and will overheat when shooting relatively long video (more than 10 minutes at a time). Since you are more focused on photos, you may not experience the overheating situation. The a5100 offers more focal points but that will not come into play unless you plan to shoot action that runs throughout the frame:). Canon has always performed very well with focus locking and should not have a problem with portraits:).
RealWorld RealWorld thank you so so much for your reply! 😄 That actually helps me so much! I really thought I was going to pick the Sony, but I went to play with it at Best Buy and i was in there for a good hour and a half messing with the settings, but it just wasn’t what I was hoping for. So I think I’ll go with the t6i! Thank you! 😄📸 Also, I don’t really want to add anymore cameras into this mix, BUT just because I value your opinion because you actually know what you’re talking about, are there ANY other cameras you would recommend for photos? It could be any brand! 📸
Glad to be of help!:) Since you invited other cameras to the party, I would suggest the Nikon D3400 or if you want a flip screen, consider one in the 5000 series (i.e. D5300, D5500, or the D5600). Nikon removed the AA filter which is nice (this is the anti-aliasing filter which typically results in slightly softer images (not a huge deal but worth noting)). I have a review on the D3400 which can be found here: ruclips.net/video/cORINOaLSTk/видео.html
Update:
Thank you so much. I had no regrets buying this camera. Your video helped a lot while I was testing out the features. I also took photos of my classmates and they loved it. God bless you! You deserve more subscribers 😊🙌
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Stay tuned as I have more vids on the way ... the channel is growing - slow but sure:).
Just wanted to say I don't usually watch videos this long but you did a great job and I watched it till the end, I wish you could maybe do a video on the best settings for beginners and show how to blur pictures Ik it's aperture mode but it's complicated at times and if possible how did you get the lights on those passing cars to show streaks? Amazing it would be very helpful to me and alot of youtubers ty sir I subbed your channel friend 😀
Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel!:) I created a couple of other videos that you might find helpful ... ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html (this is all about modes outside of Auto), ruclips.net/video/TbSgl5e6h7I/видео.html (trailing car lights), ruclips.net/video/P9o3jyPaybw/видео.html (steel wool night shots) ... this leverage the Nikon D3400 for the most part but the same logic applies to Canon:).
Thanks for asking this question,,,,,...been finding it hard to ask ,not sure pros have a thing for rookies like (yet to get my t6i Buh I’m pretty infatuated enough to want to know)
Also to have the head lights look like streaks you turn your shutter speed down
Great to watch this older review in 2023, I've always loved Canon dslrs, but I bought the T5i (700d in the uk). My 700D has been and still is an amazing camera. Thanks.
Tons of great information!!! Wish I would've seen this video before I bought this camera. But I'm mainly using it for video and it was a huge jump up from my smart phone so I'm still happy. Definitely wish it was 1080p 60fps
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The camera will do a solid job for video:). I do not shoot 60fps much unless I need to slow down action.
unbelievable pics for kit lens
Hello and thanks for the post:). I agree - the kit lens is not bad and did a solid job IMO:).
He's a nice chap. Makes me like him just watching him speak. Ma shaa Allah
Thanks for the post/feedback Sam!:)
Love your videos! I think I have narrowed my first DSLR purchase to the Canon T6i and Nikon D5500. I am really struggling with the decision. I will be primarily using for photography...maybe the occasional video. On paper the D5500 seems like a clear winner. I also have read multiple sources who believe Nikon to be a better brand for photos. I know it really depends on the person behind the camera...if it was your best friend or family member asking...would you go T6i or D5500??
such a great video for someone who's just purchased this. Love this video, delighted to have come across you through searching reviews of the product. Love it, love the entire video, congrats, thanks for all of the useful, knowledgeable and balanced info. Hat tip to you! 🎩
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) The T6i is a great capable camera. I used the Nikon D3400 for a number of videos simply because I had quick access to one when discussing other topics. Nonetheless, each video can be applied to any camera including the T6i ... most are not camera specific rather they focus on various techniques, etc.
I've had this camera for the last 5 years. It was my first DSLR, so I can't compare it to Nikon or any other brand, nor am I interested in doing so. I have bought various Canon EFS/EF lenses for it and have been delighted with both the quality of the lenses and the options they have given me. I have to say that I've had an incredible time with the T6i and would recommend it to anyone interested in dipping their toe into the wonderful world of photography. I'll be moving on soon (probably to the Canon 90D, if I can get the cash together) for three reasons: battery life, frames per second and build. At the end of the day, I can honestly say that owning the T6i has changed my life. I don't work for Canon, by the way :-).
Great shots, by the way!
Thanks for the post/feedback Peter!:) Something I have come to realize over the years is that each major manufacturer makes solid/decent gear for the most part (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Fuji, etc.). The T6i is a solid camera to gain a better understanding in the world of photography. I have been looking at the Sony lineup and may jump soon as well:).
Excellent review. Bought this camera today and your video made me feel a lot more comfortable with it. Going to primarily use to vlog and take pics of my new grand baby
Stay with it and have lot of fun!:)
I'm so glad I doscovered this channel! I live about 1/2 mile from the park where you were shooting and about that far from downtown where you took your night photos :)
catching up on older comments but very nice to see someone nearby!:)
IF YOUR READING THIS KNOW JESÚS LOVE’S YOU
God bless you Eddie and stay the path:).
The Nikon D5500 has more focal points (39), BUT the Nikon has just 9 cross-type sensors and the Canon T6i has all 19 focal points as cross-type sensors, and that makes difference if focal points are important for you.
Agreed and good point:). Cross-type will yield better/tighter focus - the more the better especially for moving subjects across the frame. I typically leverage my center focal point and recompose if needed.
RealWorld this video really is going to help me with may New camera I just got I been wanting one Canon EOS t6iD. Thank to may husband, and now thanks to this video.
Glad to be of help!:)
Thank you for this! I loved your shots and how you reviewed it. I am planning to get this as I begin my photography/filmmaking journey and this helped a lot! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) This is a good/solid camera ... if I can do it, so can you!:)
This is the camera I have pretty much decided on, thanks in large part to your videos.
Thank you for a good honest look.
You have some great music in your videos, by the way!
Thanks for the post/feedback Mike and glad to be of help!:) Enjoy the camera - it is great/solid!:)
Just bought my brand new canon 750d and i'm a newby..your vids helped a lot thanks
I'm sticking with nikon. I did eleventy billion hours of research before I bought my camera and chose the one I did because it seemed to me that I could do anything with it. I very often ask people in the know if they think I'm into it over my head financially. My plan was to buy lenses and equipment that would transfer over if I wanted to go to a better body. But hey, who am I kidding. How much can I shoot from a wheelchair. I'm an amateur and the best I can hope for is to be a good one. I can do tons of stuff with guys like you around actually. One being macro. I'm rigged up for that fairly well. So thanks for the honest test. My daughter is a photographer, weddings an outdoor and is a cannon girl so we now have a new subject to argue about. How bout another test on that D3400? What a great camera to learn on. The other is shooting in raw. I'm still not with it on that one. This stuff goes whizzing by and I write down a lot of subjects to study but as y'all can clearly see P.T.S.D. AND A.D.D. HAS ITS WAY WITH ME. wave something shiny in front of me and you have me.
Hi Andy and thanks for the post!:) Both Nikon and Canon are great systems in my opinion. I have shot with both and stick with Nikon simply because I have more Nikon lenses:). I created a video on the Nikon D3400 and put it through the paces (not certain you saw it - ruclips.net/video/cORINOaLSTk/видео.html). I have friends that shoot Canon, Nikon, and/or Sony ... always a good discussion:).
By far the best review video for this camera. I am getting this camera now. The video is very informal
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) This is a good/solid camera - enjoy!:)
You have convinced me to buy it.
gotta be one of the best reviews on cannont6i that really show video quality
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Such a great review. Thank you for taking the time to produce it.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
This video helped me out so so much! I am looking for a great entry level DSLR and this video might have made me choose which one I want! The cons were ok but I could live with it. The photos were just amazing. I love photography and I love to make videos! Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Great review sir. Very good job, thank you.
I'm about to buy my first DSLR and the 750d is one of my options.. Things that hold me back is lack of 60fps at highest res, low battery performance and the fact that this camera is not weather resistant, as I would like to take it with me at the beach and such adventures.
Image quality seems impressively good to me, given the fact that you used the standard, not of such high quality, kit lens.
Did you edit and post process the pictures or are these the actual colours the camera produces? (it's probably the first one, just need to confirm tho hehe)
I love this video it's really helped me to see the capabilities of the camera please ensure you make more videos like this they're immeasurably useful!
Thank you for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
RealWorld No problem
Would you purchase a canon t6i or a nikon 3500 (I have found black friday sales on both)?
I have watched both your reviews, but I still can't decide. I love capturing my family and want room to improve my skills.
Both are solid, but I might lean towards the T6i especially if you plan to capture video with the camera. Canon did a great job with their STM lenses and auto focus system:). Nikon removed the AA filter which is nice as this tends to soften images. If you have no plans to capture video, you might want to consider the D3400 as it should be on sale since the D3500 was just release (the image quality between both will be the same as they share the same sensor and resolution:)).
Thank you so much for direction! I learn a lot from your videos :)
Which one did you go with The Suitto Family?
Great review. I'll be using my first unit to shoot independent music vids as well as fitness vids mostly, but also some still shots. Let's say at a ratio of 70% vid 30 %photo, which would you recommend?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). If you are on a relatively tight budget and plan to shoot more video than photos, I would consider the T6i or the Nikon D3300 (not 3400 (the 3400 does not have an external mic port)). The T6i comes with an STM lens which is Cannon's silent auto focus lens (works great). Nikon comes with the AF-P (the P is Nikon's silent auto focus lens (works great as well). For better audio consider using a Rode mic or the like. This is a small external boom mic that connects to the external mic port and attached to the external flash slot. You might also consider the Zoom H1 and a cheap lavalere mic (this is what i use - ruclips.net/video/4StJ6QmYvpQ/видео.html).
RealWorld thx. This advice has helped me
RealWorld What do you think of the Sony RX10 iv do you think is a good Camera for all types of taking pictures the only problem you can't change the lens .
I keep coming back to this video, and others of your videos as well. Thanks for your good work.
I have this camera, and I have a question about bracketing. I believe when bracketing is set up the camera is supposed to fire off three exposures by holding down the shutter button. But mine doesn’t do that. It will take three bracketed photos, but only with three separate shutter clicks.
Not a big deal, but I wonder if I’m doing something wrong.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the post/question Mike:). Sounds like you are on the right path although I believe you can also hold down the shutter button until all 3 images are captured.
RealWorld thank you!
Another great review packed with lots of important information, nice background music and lovely pictures! I am sharing this for sure.
Thank you for the feedback Bruno!:)
Nice video!!! Between EOS M6 and
750D, which one is worth
I might lean towards the M6 if given the two choices:).
What camera did you use to shoot the review? And what mic? Thanks. Nice video!
Hello and thanks for the post/feedback!:) I used a Sony a5100 to shoot this video. In addition, I used a Zoom H1 along with a cheap lavaliere mic:). Here is a quick video on the Zoom H1 and lavaliere mic - ruclips.net/video/4StJ6QmYvpQ/видео.html
By adding European name of this camera is a display of professionalism from your side, unlike many of the same camera reviews from your fellow Americans..
Thanks for the feedback:). I chat with people all over the world and quickly recognized the naming differences ... a bit confusing at first and not certain why the name changes on various makes and models:).
Good vid. Just got one as an upgrade from my T1i. I will mention a do own a Sony a6000 as well so the T1i wasn't the only camera i had but was the only dslr. Have only taken a couple shots with it so far and I really like it. I know this video is old but was still a good one to watch if you are just getting a T6i
Thanks for the movie. Is 750D better than 4000D? I now have a 4000D and want to upgrade my camera. Which model do you suggest?
(Consider also economically)
Glad to be of help!:) Yes, the 750D is a nice step-up from the 4000D ... higher max ISO, higher resolution, more focal points, articulating touch screen, etc. :)
@@RealWorld Thanks for the tips.
Unfortunately,4000D has a high noise level and all my photos were rejected by Shutterstock. Even at ISO 100, it has significant noise.
Great review, sir! I've been using the Samsung NX300 mirror-less camera for product photography and have been planning to switch it up a bit. After days of research, going to the store to feel it in my hand, etc, your video helped me make up my mind. T6i it is! Your have a new subscriber! :) Matt Bills, CEO, Elite Wear
Hello Matt - welcome to the channel and thank you for the feedback!:) I am glad you found the video helpful. I just released my first video is a may series of how-to's (found here: ruclips.net/video/6I3jtQfd-sU/видео.html) ... a good first step for entry level DLSR users. I plan to demo with the Nikon D3400 but the message and logic applies to other cameras as well:).
Hey brother, I think I’ve commented on this video before (love your approach, and I have that camera. It’s a good one and I’m really enjoying it.)
But I gotta ask: what is the music and who is the artist? I really like it!
Thanks.
Thanks for the post/feedback Mike and glad to hear you are enjoying the camera - great camera:). I exchanged messages with the group a couple of years ago - a great group with great music in my opinion:). Music by: J Hacha de Zola (song is 7 League Boots).
RealWorld Thanks! I will check them out.
watching this video because i'm buying this camera soon.. was pleasantly surprised to see my hometown during the night shots! carmel represent!!! great review as well.
Hi Emma and thank you for the post/feedback!:) Great to hear from someone who is from the area!:) Carmel is a great place with continued growth. I have heard from a few people who recognize the area which is always nice. I plan to create/produce a video in the next few days on night shots. My goal will be to capture trailing lights. I would like to get a good nightscape of downtown Carmel but may head to Indy:). Enjoy the camera!:)
Thanks mate for the video, you convinced me to buy the 750d 👌🏼👌🏼
Glad to be of help - a nice/solid camera:).
Absolutely amazing video...I am leaning towards this camera with the 18-135mm lens..although im New to this and have only tried a t6i and D3400 in the store, the focus on the t6i is really winning me over so far
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Agreed - I really like the focus mechanism on the T6i:).
I was really confused on whether to get the canon T6i or the Nikon D5500 and right at the end you answer my question. Thank you for your review it was really good.
Hello - thank you for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Great video sir. I am looking to upgrade from my Canon EOS t6 rebel but i cant decide between the t6i or t7i. I would like to do videos but more than likely it will be mostly for photography. Any advice? Thanks! Love your content
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:) I might lean to the t7i if your budget allows for it. The t7i has a better battery, higher max ISO, more focal points, and built-in time lapse. The image quality will be very similar though:).
Would you recommend this one or the Nikon 5600D? I'm really torn between them. I'm a beginner and want to be able to catch good photos and maybe make videos for RUclips. I've watched both of your reviews...but basically, WiFi and touchscreen are important for me, as well as a good battery life.
Thank you very much!!!✨
Thanks for the post/question Inna!:) I might lean towards the D5600 for various reasons ... more focal points, higher max ISO, better battery life (820 shots vs 440), built-in time lapse, better dynamic range, and Nikon removed the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images slightly). Canon's STM lenses and AF system are very nice for video though:).
@@RealWorld thank you for the answer!!! After reading some comparison reviews, I think I'm set on the 5600D😊 your reply helped as well, thanks again ❤️
This is really a nice video and really like the way you presented it.
I'm wondering between Nikon D5300 and Canon 750D that which camera I should buy... In this video sample images are really good in terms of clarity, but I am confused with these two above mentioned cameras.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) They are both very close/good and I give a slight edge to the D5300 for a couple of reasons. 1 - the D5300 lacks the AA filter. The AA filter tends to render slightly softer images so having a camera without the filter is nice:). 2 - the D5300 has more focal points. This is not a huge deal for me but perhaps worth noting for some. 3 - better battery life (600 shots vs 440).
Came here to decide if this camera would be a good upgrade for my wife, but stayed for my own interest. Fantastic video! I subscribed and am looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Best,
Thanks for the post/feedback David and welcome to the channel!:) I will have more videos on way so stay tuned:).
Hi , awesome insights on the camera, great picture and background music. Worth subscribing to your channel.
I am planning to buy the Canon 750 D but confused about the lens choice.
Should I pick 18-55 mm STM or the 18-135 mm STM lens ? and why ?
Please help. Thanks.
Thanks for the post and welcome to the channel!:) If given the choice, I would go for the 18-135 STM. The main reason is versatility. I have shot for a long time using various lenses including the standard 18-55. On many occasions I wanted more reach so I would swap to a larger zoom and then back and then back again:). I eventually got the Nikon 18-200 which I have used for years ... it is my primary all-around lens. The 18-135 is a great lens and will satisfy most needs in my opinion.
Thanks a lot for the help, mate. It was so nice of you. : )
Looking forward to seeing more great videos from you.
Well done. Indeed, the Nikon D5500 is less expensive, has more features and better WiFi, shoots 1080P at 60fps and does NOT have that nasty, sharpness and detail killing low-pass filter in front of the sensor. Even if you started off with Canon, I'd recommend ditching them and going with Nikon, unless you have a large investment in lenses (and maybe even then).
Hello Patrick and thank you for the feedback/comment!:) I agree on all points made:). The Canon STM lenses are great for video, so look for the Nikon AF-P lenses if you down the D5500 path and want to shoot video w/ AF. I also feel the Canon line in general does a good job at rendering color. Nonetheless, would have been nice to see 1080p at 60fps:).
I apologize if I mentioned this before, but I strongly suspect that Canon is including a firmware correction for their low-pass filter sharpness problems in those STM lenses, and not telling us. People are reporting "L" lens results from the STM 55-250, and that just makes no sense for a $300 lens otherwise. If this is so, they should release it to everyone, but with Canon I wouldn't hold my breath. My D5500 is on it's way, along with a Sigma 17- 50 f/2.8.
Thank you for the additional feedback:). Curious to see if/when Canon will address the AA filter. I also suspect a firmware update could resolve the auto ISO cap I discovered/mentioned (this should extend to the max native ISO IMO). Enjoy the D5500 and nice choice on the lens!:)
Here's a little snippet from the Canon Web site: Low-pass filter effect cancellation
For photographers wanting the ultimate in high resolution capture, the EOS 5DS R camera has a low-pass filter* (LPF) effect cancellation. While a low-pass filter is useful to reduce color artifacts and moiré typical with digital capture, it also reduces detail at the pixel level. With the LPF disabled, the EOS 5DS R takes full advantage of the original resolving power of the camera's 50.6 Megapixel sensor. More detail is captured and retained in the original image, perfect for landscape and commercial applications where pixel-level detail is scrutinized and when the sharpest possible image is needed. So what about the rest of us Canon?
Nice find:) ... Canon sees the benefit and now they just need to remove it on rest of they line:).
This was a great video, although i have one question. When you say one of the cons for the T6i is its battery life, how long is the battery life? I've been looking into buying a first DSLR camera so i can shoot videos of nature from night to day and I would like to know if you think this camera has enough battery life to shoot for more than 12+ hours?
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I have shot a full day of photos on one battery but this will depend upon the usage. If you wanted to leave the camera on a record video most of the time - no, the battery will definitely not last:). You can always purchase extra batteries to keep with you though.
I see, then what camera would you recommend for leaving the camera recording video for a long time? Just curious
Unfortunately, all cameras will have the same limitation:). In addition, the max amount of video will be capped at 30 mins per continuous recording as this is another limitation imposed by various technological challenges.
Thanks for this review sir..... I’ve an old EOS 350d which I’ve had since 2004.... I’ve seen mint condition 750d would this be a good upgrade as they are very affordable now...... hope you don’t mind me asking.....regards Fred
Thanks for the post/question Fred:). Absolutely ... the 750D will be a nice step in the right direction (huge improvement over the 350D:)).
RealWorld .... many thanks ..... got the 750d very pleased ....
Nice video, Great information. what's your opinion about DSLR and mirrorless? which one do you prefer for excellent pictures. Thanks.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I have used the Sony a5100 and a6000 (both mirrorless) along with a handful of DSLRs over the years. Mirrorless are interest/capable/powerful cameras in my opinion. The menu system along with the feel is completely different from a traditional DSLR. The biggest challenge is battery life ... if you carry a spare or two, this is not a problem. In addition, I was challenged with the viewfinder on the a6000 (same holds true for most mirrorless cameras). Since mirrorless cameras do not have a mirror to reflect subjects through the lens, they must us a digital display of some sort. If you are new to the world of photographer, this may not be a big deal. If you come from the world of mirrored cameras, you will find this a bit odd ... not to say this is bad, just different/odd:). One big benefit to mirrorless cameras is size ... mirrorless cameras are just as capable as their mirrored counterparts only in a smaller form factor which can be nice. I recently climbed a mountain with my older Nikon D7000 ... a beast of a body which is weather sealed but relatively heavy to carry a looooong way in my opinion:). Nonetheless, I do like the Sony a6000, a6300, and a6500 although they can overheat when shooting long contineous video clips:).
Hi Sir. Ur videos are really helpful and awesome. Please guide me as a beginner Which camera is better and I have to buy. Nikon d5600 or canon d750
I would lean towards the D5600 for various reasons ... better battery life (820 shots vs 440), higher max ISO (25600 vs 12800), time lapse is included on the D5600, and Nikon removed the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).

nice vid man are you using the kitlens in your sample photos right there? I am new to photography and I have this camera, I am wondering if you got a video tutorial for newbies using this cam? cause I’m really confused about shutter speed and aperture and I always get a blurred or dark photo whenever I try to shoot 😔
thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) i plan to do a deeper dive into this particular camera at some point, but in the meantime i created the following video which might be of help (concepts are the same but i use a nikon for demo): ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html
Hello from your neighbor over in Ohio! I have family in Carmel. Its a beautiful town! I am looking at one of these used and checked your buying guide. Do you still reccomend this camera today?
Thanks for the post and welcome from Carmel!:) I have been to Ohio many times to visit the Air Force museum (which is awesome), Kings Island, and Cedar Point!:) Yes, this camera is still relevant today in my opinion although the T7i is another consideration (a nice follow-up to the T6i).
I thought you presented a wonderful review of this Canon camera. I do have the Canon EOS Rebel t5 and have been enjoying it a great deal. The only part that I take issue with is that folks have a tendency to label the t5 as a beginners camera. I believe it is far beyond a start up camera as I do with the Canon T6i. Both are very reliable, solid build and produce excellent results. At best I would say that the Canon t6i is squarely between intermediate and advanced levels. I do have both the Canon EF-S 18~55mm IS, II lens and the Canon EF-S 55~250mm IS, II Lens. I am truly impressed with the rapid auto focus on both and also with the awesome IS Image Stabilization system. Thanks again for a very thorough and comprehensive review. Tony.
Thanks for the post/feedback Tony:). You bring up an interesting point ... what is a beginners camera? I would not consider the t5, t6, etc. beginner camera simply because of all the available features. Many photographers might consider the t5, t6, etc. to be an entry level camera which is different than a beginner camera. Entry level simply meaning the first step/line in the world of DSLRs. Entry level cameras are fully capable which why I have created many videos using them. I want people to know they do not need an expensive DSLR to take great shots:).
Thanks for the video, I just purchased this camera refurb from Canon with two lenses for $639. I do like the Nikon d5500 but I had to pull the trigger at this price. I already had a Pentax K10D from about 9 years ago and loved it but time to upgrade and wanted to shoot videos. I also chose canon and pentax because it is what I learned on in high school many eons ago.
The video was great, helped me have hope that I made a good choice.
Thanks for the video and glad to be of help:). Sounds like a good deal on the camera - I am a fan of refurbished equipment as well:). The T6i is a nice/solid/capable camera. Take time to practice, practice, practice:).
I want to be a photographer just like you. such an art!
Brilliant video! Superb quality and advice! I have been looking at this camera for my youtube channel which focuses primarily on unboxing videos. Would this be an over kill for a static 'point and shoot' stance from an overhead height? Im mainly looking for a camera with good quality and good auto focus (due to moving the unboxed items closer for a better view etc). Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I think this would be a great camera for your needs ... not overkill and I suspect the AF system in this camera will handle the subject's movement without much issue.
Great videos, but i have some questions, im trying to buy a DSLR camera but i dont know which is better if the Nikon D3400 or the Canon T6i, i already watched 2 of your vids, this and the Nikon D3400 vid, ¿wich camera do you recomend me of this 2?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). Both do a great job in my opinion and it might come down to price. If I had to lean one way or the other, I might lean towards the T6i if you plan to shoot more video and lean towards the D3400 if you plan to shoot more photos. Canon's STM lens is great at auto focus in video mode:).
RealWorld what a hard choice, thanks a lot.
Great job with the video! Got a question, I'm stuck! So I'm new to DSLR and I narrowed it down to Nikon D5300 and Canon Rebel T6i I just don't know which one to buy. I'll be using it mostly outside for nature, wildlife, and family events. Mostly taking pictures but I maybe doing videos in the near future. Can you help me decide?
Thanks for the post/feedback Mark and glad to be of help!:) In this case, I would might lean towards the the D5300 if more focused on photos and towards the T6i if more focused on video. This is not to say the D5300 cannot shoot video nor the T6i cannot shoot photos:). If you plan to shoot any video with the D5300, check to see if the included lens is AF-P. AF-P is Nikon's silent focus system which is somewhat comparable to Canon's STM. If you have the AF-S version, you can still shoot video but the auto focus will hunt and hunt and hunt to lock focus:). Canon's STM lens is great/solid at focusing in my opinion (quick and quiet:)). Nikon removed the AA filter which tends to sharpen images more (AA filter is the anti-aliasing filter). The D5300 has a slightly better battery and built-in time lapse. If you have plans to shoot some video and do not have the AF-P lens, go for the T6i:).
This is a great review, I've finally upgraded from my Nikon3100 and purchased this 😊 I hope I will be able to take pictures half as good as you but I'm mostly using it to film 💖
Hello Emma - thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) This camera should do well in the filming department as well as photos:).
Great review just got this camera set for Christmas I will be putting it to the test. If you need any original music for your videos let me know Instrumentals or Vocals. Keep up the good work!
Hey Real World, I got the T6I for the same price as the D3400. Is this a better buy? Loved your review by the way.!
Hello Tariq - thank you for the question and feedback!:) Sounds like a great buy on the T6i - nice grab:). The T6i has a few advantages over the D3400 IMO ... the fully articulating screen is a big plus, along with the touch screen and additional focal points (19 vs 11) and built-in mic jack. My one grip would be the AA filter ... I would like to see Canon remove the AA filter. Nonetheless, given the price I think you got a good deal and would stay the course:).
Tried the Nikon D5500 and had the 18-55 lense, but I/we didn't like it. We have been regular Canon users before the Nikon. -That might be one main issue. So we're concidering this camera now (EOS 750D) - The last Canon we had was EOS 600D. - We want the 18-135 stm lense to it. Do you think it's a good buy? tnx for a nice video!
Hello and thanks for the post/question:). I like the versatility of the 18-135 and the stm feature is great in my opinion. The D5500 is a great camera but I know what you mean ... if you come from the Canon world, it is different (different feel, different menu, etc.):).
Yes... We also concidered the EOS 760D, but it was almost 100$ more than the 750D and I don't really see us needing the LCD display and the scroll wheel option that the EOS 760D has. - So I think we will go for the 750 with the objective mentioned.
great video well explained I'm new to DSLR, this whole time I been looking at 70D now I have seen this video im confused some say 75D. what would you recommend for a beginner to do videos and photography? is this ideal compared to other models?
Thanks for the post/feedback:). If you are looking to do both photos and video, I would consider the Canon 80D. I reviewed the 80D and one point and felt the camera offered a good/solid mix. Canon's STM lens is great for silent focus. In addition, the touch screen's ability to pull focus was nice and images were sharp.
oh nice, thank you sir, ill go check your video on 80D now, i havent checked any videos on 80D yet
Hi there, great video! Were you using the lens which came with the camera?
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I used the standard kit lens that came with the camera:).
I know I am a bit late to the party, but I wanted to ask about something :) Is this a good upgrade from the 1100d? I've had that since around 2011/2012, and it just doesn't do it for me anymore :) I've tried the 700d, and I like that one a lot.
Thanks for the post/question and never too late!:) The 750d would be a solid upgrade from the 1100d ... twice the resolution, articulating touch screen, much higher ISO capabilities, etc. etc., etc.:)
You mentioned in the video that Canon is good at their color rendering, is it the same as Nikon D5300?
Honestly, back then I was considering Nikon D5300 but after watching this and other reviews of Canon T6i (also watched some reviews about Nikon D5300 as well) I' am really considering buying this camera instead of Nikon D5300.
It's 2019 and is it still good to buy a T6i? Can't go beyond this camera's price range and I really think this one (or Nikon D5300) will satisfy me.
The T6i is a solid choice. I like Canon's STM lenses for video but might lean towards the d5300 for photos:). Nikon removed the AA filter (this is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images slightly).
@@RealWorld Didn't notice the reply thank you so much for your insight!
nice background music and nice photos ... keep up the good work
So what gear can u prefer a beginner to start with?? D3400,D3300,D3500,D5300 or the 750D
Hmmmm if you are more into video, I might lean towards the 750D (Canon does a great job with their STM lens and AF). If you are more into photos, I might lean towards the D3400 or D5300 (rotating screen). The D3300 and D3500 are solid as well.
thanks for your review, helped alot. my question is, if i want to shoot videos go with the canon instead of nikon?
thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Nikon produces lenses with an AF-P notation which is their silent auto focus system. AF-P is most desired for video. If you tried to record video with a AF-S lens, the camera will hunt for focus when shooting video (assuming you are not shooting in manual focus). Canon has historically done a great job with auto focus and video.
sir RealWorld i saw your two Field Test and Review (nikon d3400 & canon 5300d) please suggest me which is best for photography...
The main difference between the two is with the screen:). If you do not need a rotating screen, the D3400 will work fine (they both share the same sensor and resolution):).
@@RealWorld thanks, than i decide to buy Nikon d3400. Thanks for your activities ...
I am stuck between Nikon d5500 and canon 750d. I am a beginner and want to buy camera for landscape, indoor and portrait photography. I like canon's live view feature.Which camera should I go with.
Great video! Does this camera have a built in flash?
Thanks for the post/feedback Dylan. yes, this does have a built-in flash:).
ITS JOOOOOHN CENA!
What lens did you use? great job.
Thanks for the post/question:). I used the 18-55 kit lens - works well! :)
I have the choice to either buy the 750d for €400 or the 70d for €525. I really want to buy the 50mm STM lens as well but I can (budget-wise) only do so if I buy the 750d. With what choice do you think I will be better off?
Thanks for the post/question:). Many photographers will say to put your money in glass (lenses). Bodies will change but lenses will stay with you (for the most part). If there was a drastic difference between the 750d and 70d, I might lean in one direction vs the other. In this case, they are not too far apart in my opinion:). The 750d has a slight edge over the 70d regarding resolution (24mp vs 20mp). The 70d has a edge over the 750d in battery (920 shots vs 440) and faster max shutter (1/8000 vs 1/4000) and a few other items of less importance in my opinion. If given the choice, I might lean towards the 750d and fixed 50mm (great lens):).
Hi im just between the 3400 or the 750 i like the more photos from 3400 in your Videos but i think im gonna use the mic slot that 750 have. recording concerts etc so u think the 750 is the best choice? Great Videos and happy hollydays
Are you referring the Nikon D750? If so, yes:). The D750 is a full sensor camera and solid choice in my opinion:).
RealWorld ithink that the canon t6i is a better choice for me because im recording concerts just for the mic slot but your photos with the Nikon 3400 are incredible thanks for Answer
Agreed - the T6i does have an external mic port which is missing from the D3400:).
RealWorld thanks have an excellent 2018 u r awesome!
Incredible video, ur passion realy shows through ur work thank u man !
Thanks for the post/feedback Quentin!:)
Helpful video,Can i ask the best option for general photography (specially for travelling ) Canon 750D or Nikon D5500 ot Sony a6300 or any other ? Thanks...
Hello Shalika - welcome to the channel and thank you for the question:). This is a slippery slope depending on your budget. Given the three cameras, I would lean towards the Nikon D5500. I also really like the Sony a6300 but the battery life is a challenge along with the non-fully articulating screen which may not be a huge deal considering your purpose. The Sony has many interesting features as well along with a notable fast burst rate (11fps vs 5). Unfortunately, the Sony has an AA filter making for slightly softer images. If the Sony and Nikon were the same price, I might lean more towards the Sony:).
Which lense are you using to take pictures in this video?
Another Question is , Can I use this Lense -Lense model - FE 40mm f/2.8 STM on 750D?
Please answer ASAP.
Hello - I used the 18-55 STM kit lens to take the picts. Regarding the given lens - yes, this lens should work/fit.
This was an awesome review on this camera, I just purchased this camera and I love it, I love the picture quality, you had some great photos with this camera, I hope I can achieve that at some point, thanks so much for sharing this great video :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) If I can do it, you can to!:)
Youre very welcome, you are awesome, you helped so many of us :),I appreciate the encouragement also :)
Hi, would you recommend the 750D or D5500? great video btw :)
I would lean towards the D5500:). I D5500 has more focal points, higher ISO, better battery life, and Nikon removed the AA filter from the D5500 (the AA filter is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to cause softer images).
Hello, RealWorld. Thanks for a great review.
Could I ask you one question?
Thanks for the feedback - sure, what is your question?
Thank you. If I am taking pictures like the ones you did, should I use manual or do you recommend another mode?
Thanks for the post!:) I would recommend Aperture priority. There is a time and place for manual, but I find Aperture for still images works best (moving subjects are a different story). When in Aperture mode, open it wide (use the lowest possible number) to gain a nice background blur, or leave it narrow (using a high number) to gain more background focus.
Which one is better for filming? Canon t6i or Nikon d3400? Im just starting out.
U r amazing. Please make a video on how you process these images
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I have a few videos on post processing, but I am thinking to create more as I feel post process is important in the overall creative process.

Hello, I found your vids very helpful and interesting, I m thinking to buy a DSLR and this one should be the right one I'm new in this domain of photography and I want to progress, I do have one but very limited in parameters, this one is a bit pricy but I will do my best to have it soon
Look for deals on the Nikon D3400 ... since Nikon just shipped the D3500, the D3400 should go on sale:).
Brother, which one do you suggest between eos rabel t6i 750 Canon or Nikon d 3300??? Which one has a better performance and better picture quality?..please answer me strange according to your preference or your choice...
I might lean towards the D3300. The T6i has more to offer for video (external mic port, etc.), but Nikon removed the AA filter (anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images). In addition, the D3300 has a higher ISO which can be nice under relatively dark situations if needed. The T6i is a great all around camera though, and I like Canon's STM lenses:).
Great video I’m excited to get one next week !!
Enjoy the ride Kara ... a nice/capable camera in my opinion:). Take time to understand all the features, etc. ... give yourself time to explore the camera and have fun. You photo skills will improve with time. I have a bunch of videos on the basics which should be helpful to some extent.
RealWorld yes I’ve been learning a lot off your videos ! you inspired me to get more into photography! You don’t need an expensive camera with expensive lens to take some great pictures. I’m so happy I found your channel! Thank you
Tremendous video RealWorld... Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!:)
Buying myself a first dslr camera, but still doubting between canon 750d/t6i or nikon d5300. Main goal is photos all around. What would you recommend? Thanks for the video too! Gave me great perspective of this camera's possibilities.
If you have any plans to shoot video, I would lean towards the 750d. Canon includes the STM lens in the kit (providing you are getting the kit lens) with is great. If you have no plans to shoot video, I might lean towards the d5300. The d5300 can still shoot video but the focusing system will struggle:).
RealWorld at the moment it's purely photography I'm interested in. But in a few months my first little one will crawl around the house and I think my interests will shift to both photos and video. That's why I'm really torn up about which one😁.
Ahhhhh yes, little ones are a blast (congrats as well!):). I might lean towards the 750d as you will definitely want to capture some video as he or she grows:). The 750d is capable of taking some great shots as well as proven in this video.
RealWorld thank you! 😁 What about the more recent t7i? How does that one compare to the nikon? Iso should be able to shoot higher and has more af points
If you have extra coin, I might spring for the t7i:). The t7i has a higher max ISO, built-in time lapse, more focal points, and better battery life:).
Sir should I get a 200 d or a 750d ?? Please reply as I am going to buy one of these very soon
Thanks for the post/question:). I might lean towards the 200d ( also known as the SL2 - amzn.to/2UZODJ9 ). The 200d offers a higher max ISO, built-in time lapse, higher resolution, better battery life, etc.:)
Good video. You seem really down to earth and honest. I'm just getting into the world of cameras and film, more so on the film side. Just using my iPhone 7 now but I'm torn on what to get on a cheaper budget. I like the Sony a6000 but no audio jack and limited screen articulation bothers me. I like the t6i and have found a nice bundle with a rode mic for $749 but I'm not keen on the film quality. Looking into the Panasonic G7 now. Any suggestions? Thanks and you've gained a subscriber!
Hello - welcome to the channel and thank you for the post/feedback!:) I appreciate the comments and glad to be of help!:) Sounds like you have started your quest into the world of DSLRs - an interesting world of creative possibilities:). Based on your post, I have a relatively good understanding of your direction. If you are more into film, consider the G7 when choosing between the T6i and G7. My only concern is battery life (G7 is rated at 350 shots vs 440 on the T6i), sensor size (four thirds vs APS-C on the T6i), and resolution (16 vs 24). If you are more into photos, consider the T6i. I do have another suggestion which should be slightly cheaper than the T6i, does not have the AA filter (making for slightly sharper images), has the APS-C sensor, fully articulating screen, and has a much better battery life (rated at 820 shots) ... consider the Nikon D5500:). Hope this helps!:)
RealWorld well, I've decided on the g7. 4K video really intrigues me as I see it as a way of the future. Plus, id have a decent camera to take pics on but my main focus is video. Found a g7 at Best Buy open box-excellent condition for $630. I'm not 100% for sure if it was a display model (which bother me a bit) but if it's bad I'll just buy the new one for $800. I think $170 is a good saving though. Thanks for you reply!
Sounds like a nice grab!:) I like the open boxes if they are available (I've bought a few open boxes over the years as well). I have yet to have a bad open box:). Most are displays from Best Buy as I know they tend to send various models back to the manufacture for reconditioning ... think about it like this - if you had the camera and modified various settings, tested it, returned it, Best Buy would not simply place it bad on the shelf. Nonetheless, sounds like you got a good deal and are on the right path. Keep in mind that the content contained in my videos typically apply to any DSLR or in this case mirrorless camera:). Take a quick look at my P, S, A, and M modes to break away from the fully auto mode:). Enjoy the camera and practice, practice, practice:).
For taking largely outdoors photos, and mostly animals, would the Canon T6i, or Nikon D3400 be better? Planing on purchasing today, since Boxing Day Sales are ending.
$600 for T6i, $500 for D3400.
Thanks for the post/question Ashu:). The big advantage to the T6i is the screen ... the screen is touch sensitive and fully rotating. In addition, the T6i has an external mic port if you want to leverage a microphone, etc. Both cameras share a similar sensor and resolution which will yield similar image quality, however Nikon removed the AA filter from the D3400 (this is the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images (the T6i has it and most photographers prefer to have it removed)). In addition, the D3400 has more than double the battery life (1200 shots vs 440). Both cameras are very good in my opinion. If you are looking to shoot video and have a rotating screen, the T6i wins. If you are mainly looking shoot photos and do not need a rotating screen, save a $100 and go for the D3400 ... just my two cents!:) NOTE: I reviewed the D3400 as well which can be viewed here -

Thank you for the input
Ma Sha ALLAH..
Nice shots...
thank you:) ... شكرا لكم وبارك الله فيكم
Looking up to buy this on Christmas, i really hope you answer, will i be able to make cinematic vids with it?
Thanks for the post/question:). Yes, Cannon packs the STM lens with this kit which is great for a smooth/silent AF.
this is the best camera ever, i bought one like 10 months ago. thats the camera that i use for my channel, this guyswas honest and real with his review.
Nicely explained . Bought it today !!!
Hey.. thanks for great video.. please help - Need your advice - am confused - whether to invest bit more n grab a full frame Canon 6D or image quality of APSC is not that different from FFrame - so go for Canon 800D ?? (remote capture is my priority..so cant go with Nikon)
Thanks for the post/feedback/question:). Nikon can remote capture with the right camera (i.e. Nikon D500, etc.). Nonetheless, the difference between a crop and full sensor is always an interesting discussion:). I have shot with both and appreciate the detail capabilities of the full sensor, but it is truly needed? By most users - no in my opinion. People rarely print anymore which means most images are shared with jpegs at relatively low res after post processing. Think about all the images that are shared throughout the web. I feel the polish/creative flow is added in post processing. Another thought is this ... you can go with a crop body and full glass (which works fine). If you upgrade to a full body down the road, you can use the same glass. Ultimately, the goal is get away from full auto and take full advantage of all features offered regardless of crop or full. In addition, regardless of crop or full, camera gear tends to retain value which is good if you want to sell/upgrade down the road:). Hope this helps!:)
RealWorld But even seeing pics via hashtag search of camera models on Instagram or Flickr etc, I found huge difference in quality of fframe models like canon 6d Nikon 750 vs crop.. Didn't want to buy crop, then after month start regretting missed quality
I know the feeling and you are doing the right thing by thinking ahead:). Nonetheless, I suspect many of those photos are edited in post processing to some extent (I do the same). If more people understood the power of post processing, I suspect the camera type would become less important. Nonetheless, a full frame is a great choice but understand that a resulting cool/unique shot is not necessarily caused by the camera rather the resulting cool/unique shot is caused by the photographer's ability to compose image and use the camera (and post process:)).
I've seen some videos where some of the best cellphones take pictures relatively similar in quality as an expensive dslr. Would there be a huge difference in quality comparing the T6i to a Samsung Note 8's camera? Or should I just stick with the Note 8?
Great question which might be worthy of a video:). In short, yes - there is a significant difference between the two:). The major difference is sensor size. The sensor plays a valuable role is capturing information/details from the given shot. The sensor size in a DSLR vs Note 8 or any smartphone is MUCH larger. This will render a much better shot especially in low light situations. If you are taking a landscape shot is bright light and only plan to share the image via cell phones, etc., the two images might appear similar. Noticeable differences will be seen on portraits when wanting to soften the background or shooting in relatively low light. I will use my cell in a pinch or when I want to take a quick photo to share, etc.
Sir can you make a video on cannon 750d vs 700d filed test and some photography focus test??
I was so set on the Sony a5100 for my first decent camera purchase, but after watching a few reviews on the Canon t6i, I’m stuck. I’d love your opinion though.. Between those two, which would you prefer for photography? I would be doing a lot of photos of people’s faces (while still), and photos of products.. Between the Sony a5100, and the Canon t6i, which camera in your opinion would be better for those needs? Thanks in advance!! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the post/question!:) Since you asked, I will offer my two cents:) ... I would lean towards the T6i. I current shoot videos with a a5100 and have tested/reviewed the T6i. Both are good but are apples and oranges. The a5100 is a mirrorless camera that chews through batteries and will overheat when shooting relatively long video (more than 10 minutes at a time). Since you are more focused on photos, you may not experience the overheating situation. The a5100 offers more focal points but that will not come into play unless you plan to shoot action that runs throughout the frame:). Canon has always performed very well with focus locking and should not have a problem with portraits:).
RealWorld RealWorld thank you so so much for your reply! 😄 That actually helps me so much! I really thought I was going to pick the Sony, but I went to play with it at Best Buy and i was in there for a good hour and a half messing with the settings, but it just wasn’t what I was hoping for. So I think I’ll go with the t6i! Thank you! 😄📸 Also, I don’t really want to add anymore cameras into this mix, BUT just because I value your opinion because you actually know what you’re talking about, are there ANY other cameras you would recommend for photos? It could be any brand! 📸
Glad to be of help!:) Since you invited other cameras to the party, I would suggest the Nikon D3400 or if you want a flip screen, consider one in the 5000 series (i.e. D5300, D5500, or the D5600). Nikon removed the AA filter which is nice (this is the anti-aliasing filter which typically results in slightly softer images (not a huge deal but worth noting)). I have a review on the D3400 which can be found here: ruclips.net/video/cORINOaLSTk/видео.html
RealWorld ahh thank you so much for all of your help!! I will definitely go check out that video asap! Thank you so much!!!!! 💜😄😄
