Canon 650D & 700D - Should You Buy One? 

The sample footage gives me an idea of a perfect fashion film ad. Brilliant

Im in the habit of immediately liking your videos because I KNOW its going to be massively informative and extremely entertaining. Pretty cool that your content can instill that level of confidence. 🙏

This footage looks like a feature film! I'm looking to add another camera or two for my multi-cam studio shoots, I'm gonna look at these camera on marketplace, I've even thought about a 50D, so we'll see. You're video tests are always inspiring, thanks for what you do!

fabulous shots brother never could I imagine the 650d would produce such beautiful shots

Very nice video, Colin. Besides all the tech stuff, you now what amazes me more? Your progress, bro! Fantastic 😍 congrats, bro!!!!!

Great video - I do agree, I much prefer the form factor of my 700D especially with the battery grip. The only thing I need to get used to is going back to not speedboosting lenses. Loving the teaser for the documentary too, can't wait for it to drop. Needs a premiere night

Thanks ma man! I do think to purchase my first camera, so I had two choices: 650d and 700d, coz I don't have a lot money for 5d Mark2 or 90d. I really realised the fact that it's not always about camera, but the person who hold it. The footage is really great 🙌

Great work Cole! 🎉

Looking forward for more dude. Thanks

Wow, that was an amazing clip of 650d, never thought it was an old DSLR. The color just pops! I might need to get 650/700 even though I already have EOS-M. Looking forward to more videos on magic lantern on these camera.

I love your methodology when it’s comes to this lifey

re lenses - I use a lot of vintage M42 mount Super Takumars, and they'll work on tons of different cameras, so I wouldn't be discouraged about having to resell lenses. Great video!

Just getting into Videography, purely for enjoyment and creativity. Can't thank you enough for sharing these great cameras and methods. There is nothing less inspiring than crap video quality, this is the perfect solution for what I want to do, Anamorphic cinematic shots in the mountains. I ordered my 650d yesterday.

Thanks for sharing this 🙌

Excellent video and great footage as ever man. The 80's was the best era, I love the tech that's evolved since but everything 80's was so cool.

BTW.... interesting doc about the ML. GREAT idea

Good content deserve more subs ❤good luck ♥️

Thx for the video. I like your silver lens 😀. I owned a 550d for a very long time. It was also nice even without a flippy screen. I think my son still has the 70d lying around but he isn't doing anything with it 😢

Or get both. EOS M pocketable with the 22/2 or kit zoom lens and the 650/700D for longer shoots. I think I prefer the convenience of mirrorless for my casual shooting although I could get my M42 lenses adapted to EF. Looking forward to your ML docu ❤ peace!

I have 650D from 2022 and use for racing photography it's enough good for me, happy with it

I just got a 700d for my fiance and I might just get one for myself. It's good to hear that ML performs as well as the EOS M or even better because of heat management. I'm in a hot environment so that would be great! Also, the 650/700d are still great photo cameras. It's great if you're like me and are interested in doing more photography and travel video than making short films or doing client work.

I love vintage things as well. I collect and watch laserdisk movies and love using my og BMPCC and 2.5K BMCC. BTW that music on House of Black has a cool Grandmaster Flash vibe to it 😊

Couldn't take my eyes off that Sony tube tv. Gorgeous

Most of succesful people loves Hystory, not just remain but Hystory is Re-remain. Ages and years change, but the pattern of succesness are the same. Loving old things is one of the sign

I got the EOS M because of its small size. Given the size of the 700D I could as well go for a 5d mk3 which I can get fairly cheap. Has the 700D in ML an advantage over the 5dmk3 in terms of clip length overheating etc? The development of ML goes so fast that videos on YT get outdated very quickly! Many thanks. Great to see that you cover ML so well.

Omg man i just got a 650d on ebay for $100 with battery grip and its a great!!! Thank you

I had my eyes on the EOS M but someone in the Facebook groups said don't buy the EOS M and go buy a 650 or 700D instead. I pulled the trigger 2 days ago and purchased a 700D for less than 200 bucks including shipping. It comes with two batteries and the original 18-55mm lens too. Now I see that I made the right decision. That is an insane bargain lol. Thanks a lot for the video. I can't wait to take this baby on a test run as soon as it arrives.

great video!

I bought a camvate half cage even if you don't buy just look it up, it might be worth it. Respect!

AYE! It's here, watching it now

Great video man. You just holding shotgun mic for the fun of it? lol

Maybe it's time to get a T5i before the prices start skyrocketing 🤔 I have a 77D and M100 just for hobby photography use (cheap cameras, cheap lenses, can adapt my old vintage lenses collection). I hope someday ML can land in the 77D

So close to 10k subs!!!! You big time baller 😂

If you want a stupid cheap option...check out the 50D! Shoots 14-bit RAW video continuous without needing ANY experimental firmware...just the stable ML build. Super35 14-bit RAW video for as little as $95! Caveat is huge: The camera originally did not shoot video with it's stock firmware, so there is zero onboard audio.

Really cool thanks ! What lenses did you use on the video it was very slick !

your antenna on your TV is awesome! Stranger Things like lol

I've only just found this channel?! I am a fan of vintage, to the point that I am going to try and buy a Krasnogorsk K3, Super 16mm camera.

Excellent video. Which magic lantern version do you use with 650d/700d?

Am sure this tool can give me the best shoots of my dreams

heyy love ur videos i also wanna know your ML settings for video can you make a video or some info?

Love ur vids . If i buy a 650d can i use it in the mlite body or do you plan to make one for the 650d?

is there any way which can be zoomed in then taking a picture ?, i've had this question for a while and all sites seem not to have an answer, whether in picture mode or recording , can you zoom in and take the picture while zoomed in/ recording ??

Right now I’m close to deciding on getting the M-lite rehousing as long as it’s still in stock. If I rehouse the EOS-M into the M-lite would you still recommend the 650? Or at that point are they not worth comparing?

I love the dad joke in the intro! Classic 😂

fantastic video. i've been wondering about heat displacement lately. i live in a hot climate so i usually do my shooting early in the day before the temperature rises. the other day i decided to run some tests in the afternoon and my record times were rubbish. the shots were outside (35-37c) so obviously no way to control the environment. the M wasn't even giving half the amount of record time i can get in the mornings when its 21/22c before it would stop recording on it own. I'm wondering if you have pushed the m-lite with continuous shooting to see if it overheats with the fan? or if you have just noticed a difference in performance/ record times using 12 or 14 bit? for reference i usually shoot danne's build 5kfrtp 10 bit. the tests i referred to earlier was trying out crop moods in various settings and then back to 5k frtp. the M choked on all attempts in those temperatures no matter what settings i was using. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on either an m-lite or a 650d to see if i can get better performance from a cooler sensor. since you have both what do you think would be the better option? thanks for any input. i love your vibe and love your content, you do great work.

Nice one again bro ! Would you say the footage quality is the same as the original eosm ?

What are those mods you’ve done to make it look more like the cinema cameras?

Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for the informative videos, they really helped me learn a lot! I want to get into what Magic Lantern means and I have a question: In my country, the prices for a 700D and a 5D2 are roughly similar (150 USD) and a 5D3 is a little more expensive (400 USD) and I honestly don't know which choice to make! Do you think the 5D2 is worth more than the 700D? And what do you think of the differences between 5D2 and 5D3? Do you think it's worth investing a little more and buying a 5D3? Thanks in advance for the answer and for everything you do on RU-vid! Edit: And, for me, it's more important to be able to use an external monitor without problems, because with the fixed screen on a 5D you can't do too much!

I got a canon 70d , with all advantages of 650d, but no cropmood, high fps, dual iso, So envy!!!

Really great footage. I have, for my part, started the journey with 100d, but unfortunately the pixel maps for all crop mood resolution are not yet available, so you have to deal with the pink dots everywhere, i also got some random striped frame, which can randomly appear if you are under exposed. Have you got any of this issues?

The color...Woohoo wwwwooooow🔥🔥🔥🔥

I use ef lenses on the m with the adapter

Nice video! I just want to confirm that is there any differences between the japanese version (Kiss X6i) and the 650D. Will I still able to use the crop mood with this?

Great small film

Hey, thanks for the video. I have a bit of an issue shooting with the EOS M in broad daylight. Either I overexpose shots and then the whites start to look pink (or purple?), or else if I expose for the highlights, then the entire shot starts to look kind of... bleak? I mean the colors stop looking "alive" and sure I can bring some of it back in post, but it's fiddly and unreliable. Help!

What’s the best quality setting with this camera in crop mood for unlimited recording ?

Funny I just ask about this on fb😂

Amazing shot.. As new using 650D it would be a massive help if you can share your setting in this kind of video shoot🫶

Only concern is EF lens couldn’t adapt all the old manual lens

How good is magic lantern with the 70d and is it as good as the 650d or 750d . I’m new to magic lantern and wanting to learn.

Imma stick to eos m, bcz we can use speedbooster... and it lightweight so the rig wont be too heavy... But nice info btw....

Just a stupid question. Is the 700D the same model as the Rebel t5i. I read they're identical, but do they work the same for Crop Mood? I love my EOS M and would still use it, but I would love to try another body where I don't need an EF adapter. I invested in a couple of EF/EFs lenses rather than EFM

Being the tech guy among my media friends, looking to run this on one of my friend's 650D. I once introduced him to it but that was way before Crop Mood came into the scene. He uses my Sony for his shoot but want to give him reasons to use his (he actually has two 650D). Any thing I need to know would be helpful (Asked him to bring it over this weekend).

Excellent that Canon colour science

I'm about to buy my first camera. I'm not newbe in video, i'm aware of the standart now which is 10 bit internal but i can't afford them for the moment. I can afford lumix g7 or canon 700D here in my country. Would you syggest me canon with magic lantern for work, or you keep your word to keep magic lantern for B camera and buy something stable first.

I would like to know which Crop build have used for 650d, because I tried few crop build however am limited to 10 sec recording time. Appreciate your help brother.

Where would you buy a 650-700D at this moment ?

What are the best videography lenses on canon 650d?

When you said i recomend it above the eos m, I am like what? Know i need the vs video

1 second : Ohhh sexy quality image

Which is better for magic lantern? 650d or 700d? And why?

hi sir i installed the magic lantern but the display is still the same canon display but 5* crop, it is not like the display from every tutorial i saw that has this fancy things, what should i do thanks

how did you mount fd lenses on 650d? some adapter with a glass inside?

😮

So, what is really required to get this working on the 650D. Scouted the forum, RU-vid etc and no one seems to even talk about it. Am at sea here and might give up, it's not my camera (even though I have permission to install crop mood). Some talking of firmware versions and when I tried, am being asked about firmware 1.0.4 (which is not available on canons site) etc. I'd rather be safe than mess up since the camera is not mine (I take risk only with my gears no matter what). 😮Any info from anyone here?

What firmware is needed for the magic lantern to work?

wow

Is there something for 600d as well? I have that since 2013. A bit effed up, but still going strong.

That wireless mic is the dog's bollocks, innit?

How the 650d can do slowmotion?

Are there any moire problem like EOS M?

I got so much grains with my 650d , even with iso 100

Man it's a movie

Does 650d support SD card?

can you shar your build?

5:01 I think your sunglasses are broken. 🫠

recording time?

After this video, the price of the 650D jumped about 200%!

can you show me the quality in 16:9 ratio...??

Does anyone got err70?

I love my 650d. Would not part with it. Thank you.

Hiiiiiii
