      Hey can I get canon 90D over canon r or r8? I already have a 550d with 18-55 kit lens, canon et 40mm macro lens, and a canon 70-200. I am having really hard time to understand what’s better for me to start film making

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  11 месяцев назад +2

      You can, but you’re not going to have as many video features since it’s an older camera and you’ll have the 30 minute video recording limit. You can always get the Canon EF-RF adapter to use those same lenses with an RF mount camera. If you’re wanting to do mainly filmmaking, the mirrorless RF mount is probably the way to go as far as getting better video features.

    Just subscribed, very glad I found your channel! I'm very interested in stills (24MP or higher, for amazing quality even while zooming in) and cinematography (4k) . After days of research, it seems like a mirrorless camera is preferred based on size/weight, particularly if I'm going to be traveling. Do you happen to have any recommendations for those criteria, under $600? Excited to start deep diving into more of your content!

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  6 месяцев назад +1

      It depends on whether you want to have an EVF for shooting stills. I like to still use the flip screen for stills so I prefer the Sony ZV-E10 overall. But if you want the EVF, then the Canon R50 is pretty comparable with video options.

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes it’s fine for both photo and video. However, I wouldn’t suggest using the kit lens with any camera. There’s a reason they’re so inexpensive. The lens does A LOT more for you than the camera.

    • @CamberFilmSchool
      @CamberFilmSchool  4 месяца назад +2

      The Sony a7Sii will definitely give you better quality imagery, but the newer features of the zv-e10 are really nice. The biggest downside of the a7Sii is that it uses an old contrast based autofocus system that doesn’t work nearly as good as the new cameras. If you can wait and save up some cash, the. ZV-E1 is a great little camera: amzn.to/4c1p7KL or even an a7C mark 1: amzn.to/3A0vbWK

    • @CamberFilmSchool

      Depends partly on the setting. If you’re indoors, then you’ll probably be good. If shooting at 4K for that long the camera could overheat. 1080p should be good though. And you’ll want to either use a dummy battery or hook up some power to the camera.

      They are small cameras and will overheat depending on the ambient temperature and recoding setting, but when filmmaking, you’re not typically running the camera for really long periods of time. You record a take, stop, reset, and go again.

      Yea, that’ll happen with small cameras depending on ambient temperatures and recording settings. But when filmmaking you’re not typically recording for long periods of time. You film a take, stop, reset, and go again. It’s not likely it’ll overheat in filmmaking settings.
