The lack of functionalities on this camera is actually good for beginners. It gives beginners the basic instincts in photography rather than bring spoonfed with technology. Getting the right instincts is the biggest selling factor for this camera.
I'm sorry, but if you do a honest review, than maybe you should not edit the pictures, but show how they look straight from the camera. Because it's very confusing and not quite helping to deside. Thank you.
With a good prime lens and good light this camera can take shots in near identical quality to most modern cameras, Peter Mckinnon has a video showing this specifically. What this camera lacks is features rather than image quality.
Yes in controlled condition a lot of cameras can produce good image quality. But I’m pretty sure no beginning photographer has a controlled environment. It definitely lacks image quality in normal everyday life situations ✌️
That seems to be mostly because of the really bad 18-55 kit lens, not the camera body. But it is a very useful range for a first lens. And the other problem is when a new user asks what should the first good lens be, most will tell them a 50mm prime, and they buy the 50mm f/1.8. Again not the sharpest, and 50mm is great on a full frame, but with an aps-c, 35mm would have been a much better choice. This is where the beginner balks. A good 35mm f1.4 could cost more than his camera and kit lens combined. But it will turn his soft focus, under exposed, or noisy pictures into great photos. Beginners think they need a better camera. What they need is better lenses. Even the cheap Rebel T7 can take fantastic photos, when coupled with a great lens, and being an APS-C, there are great lenses that cost far less than EF full frame lenses. 1; your camera's focusing can never be better than the lenses ability to get a sharp focus. A Holga lens on a 5d mk IV will get you the same picture on a T7. The lens is the limiting factor. Yes the 5d mk IV can take much sharper photographs, if both cameras are using an L50mm f/1.2 lens, but who puts a $1,200 lens on a T7? Because the T7 is an APS-C, and needs a better lens than the kit lens, I suggest the little pancake EF-S 24mm. It lets in more light than the kit lens, focuses faster and is sharper. And is not too expensive. Second lens for a T7 would be a 50mm f/1.4. It's sharper than the f/1.8 version, lets in more light, and can be had for as little as $20 more. Beginners, remember when you are getting into photography, you are investing in a system, and the EF/EF-S lenses you buy will not only be for your first camera, but future cameras as well. If you think you may invest in a full frame camera later, you may want to buy EF lenses, instead of EF-S lenses. But if the camera of your dreams is a 90d or an 80d then when you buy EF-S lenses, buy good lenses, and they will last a lifetime. And yes, an EF L25-70mm f/2.8 is USM lens costs 7 times what a T7 camera costs, but try and find a better lens. Even if your dream camera is a 5d mk IV, you would still be using this lens. I own several Canon cameras. From an old kiss, t6i, T7, and T7i, to 6d, 5d mk iii, 80d, and want a 6d mk Ii and 90d. Just can't get myself excited about the R cameras because I have an excellent EF and ef-s lens collection. I have bought 2 T7 cameras, one for my wife and one for my son in law. Because they are the best camera under $800 available today. But do get some good glass (lenses) on it, before you think you need a better camera. Remember, a good photographer can take beautiful pictures with a cheap camera. A poor photographer will still take mediocre photos with a million dollar rig. Get out and shoot. Learn all you can about composition, lighting, and photography technique. That's what really makes your photos great. Bought the 90d, wow what a camera. When talking about lenses, I forgot to mention, if you don't like swapping lenses, shoot with good light of flash, and want one lens for everything, look at Tamron 's 18-400 for efs cameras. No it's not as sharp, nor does it have the aperture of a prime lens, but 18-400mm means most people can get by with just this lens for most uses.
3:13 the major reason why manual focus isn't great on modern DSLR cameras is the absence of the split prism that was in most, if not all, half decent analog cameras, that thing rocks, and completely removes the guesswork of adjusting the focus.
“It’s hard to get good images bcs bad autofocus” Honest to god that’s BS, use manual focus with viewfinder, if u suck at that, then press the plus twice on the screen to get a super zoomed in view so u can get that nice sharp focus
Thanks for the review, I have used an all in one Fuji S-700 for years till it died in Europe on a trip in July.Looking at the Cannon 7. I stated photography in the 80’s and still have my OM-1 and a bag of lenses. I also use to develop and print my own photos. Was disappointed in my IPhone 13 photos from the trip so looking for something that will be better for trips.
Thak you for your vídeo! You can actually focus very easily with this camera, just use one point (the centre one), focus with that point on the eye and recompose! I have now a sony a7iii but 3 weeks ago I swap cameras for a photo shoot with a friend just for fun and I was able to focus all the time.. Of course, the image quality is not the same as my current camera, but it focuses very well as long as you focus and recompose, which for me is very easy because that is how I learn how to photograph on a T5i
Ive been looking into possibly getting a used a7c, looks so good for how compact it is. I feel mixed using my girlfriends EOS 2000D, recording videos isnt great and I have had to do more adjusting than I want to get the focus to work well.
@@autofigure00 hi Drew, the reason I didn't get the a7c and instead I got the a7iii is because the a7c only has one card slot and that is important for me, but if you don't mind, the a7c is a good choice. I'm saving to get the a7IV but it will take a while... The a7C is not comparable to the EOS 2000D in terms of image quality, focus and many other things... The a7C way much better as it is the a7iii. Hope it helps with your decision.
This camera is perfect to learn an be creative with. With an EF 50mm 1.8 for example, you can take professional-level photos, with just shutter speed, aperture and ISO to play with...perfect to slow down.
I bought this camera 4 years ago and I want to sell it because I slightly used it, and I don't see myself using it in the future. however, I'm really hesitant about whether to sell it or not
24mm is good too. I was just trying to keep a new buyer from making the mistake of not going wide enough since the camera is an APS-C and most forget to factor in the 1.6 crop factor.
oh man... are you sure? I think the part you drink coffee in the kitchen and shot video with 2000d looks pretty fine. it would not be better on most of the supreme smart phones out there. I believe your expectations are a bit high because you experienced shooting with better devices. thanks for the review.
Yes I am sure 😎 Maybe I should do a side by side with a budget phone then people would see the difference? Thanks for your thoughts! Have a good weekend!
@@GaryJahman yeah Gary. after watching the other video you took about 2000D I take my words back. You were right. I am looking for a cheap, convenient and preferably technologically up-to-date DSLR which will be cabaple of producing good quality videos. I found that Sony Alpha A6000 is pretty well but it is lacking a aux input so not ideal for videography. Would you recommend any other models around the same price tag? Have a great weekend, blessings.
@@MrYarabandi hmmm well if you can find something like the canon 80D for cheap that might be a good thing for you? These days there are so many options
@@GaryJahman Got myself a Samsung A34 cell phone and 97 CRI LED video light source. I will get myself a Sony Pro series (something like A7) camera when I have the budget. Thank you man.
I don't think it's good that you show edited pictures when you are reviewing a camera, because then we can't see how good the camera actually is but your editing skills also
Thank you for the question! I’d go with a second hand one such as a Sony A6000 or Canon M50. If you want brand new and do not want to spend a lot of money then the Canon R100 might be interesting
Excuse my comment on your older video lol you obviously took a second look, i followed you on IG, but as the cheapest DSLR i learned quite well with it as a beginner
I just reacted on your previous comment haha Well that’s great and I do think you can learn a lot. So what do you think about the replacement of this camera? The Canon R100? It’s basically the modern version
@@GaryJahman if I were to go modern I would go with the R50 instead because the R100 has the digic 8 processer and the R50 has the X, but I think the bodies are too small 🫠 so in hindsight to all the videos I've watched on them, I'm just going to save for the R8
I've bought several T7's for gifts for beginner to get into photography. Best bang for the buck available. However the kit lens is nowhere near the best lens. It's a foundation that can be built on. Off camera flash, better lenses, etc. And the accessories you buy for it move along as you get a better body. It's a lot better first camera than an M series. As you buy better and special lenses for the T7, they will still be usable all the way up to a 90D or if you buy EF lenses to a 5D mk IV or a 6D mk Ii. Not having to buy all new lenses when you improve your camera body makes stepping up a lot cheaper. But beware, that L glass costs times more than a T7.
ive been using a 1300d for a few years shooting fashion and recently got a 2000d but did notice the focusing and out of focus results were a lot more than the older 1300d ? whats the difference and why is it inferior to the 18pxl 1300d
Hoi, dat is best wel lastig om te beantwoorden 😅. Er zijn namelijk zoveel camera’s om uit te kiezen tegenwoordig. Ik zou gewoon een aantal camera’s huren met een 85mm prime lens of een 50mm prime lens
@@a.ra.r5162 Ja geen probleem. De Canon M50 Mark 2 is wel een goede beginners camera en relatief goedkoop. Anders even wachten op de nieuwe Canon R50. Lastig hoor, anders langs een camera winkel gaan en daar wat huren?
@@AleksAndrosik alright, I’d say focus more on the content with good audio and lighting conditions. Then if you feel like you need more of a “professional “ look then invest in something like a Sony ZVE10
I have watched your first video from 2 years ago and than this right after... I have win,,, lets say some small awards on some of my pictures from this camera with the 2 kit lenses that came with it... 18 to 55 and 55 to 250,,, I up "Graded to the r7,,, and i still post pictures from the t7/2000d And still get more likes with the t7/2000d than i do with the r7 So sometimes i think that i have made a mistake buying the r7 lol Me and my daughter will go out to take photos and videos i have the r7 and her with the t7/2000d and when we go on the computer some of her photos and videos will look alot better than mines,,, Sorry my point is that this camera is a Great Portrait camera i will agree that not all videos that come out of this camera is great... and audio really does SUCK,,, but you can take some amazing photos with the t7/2000d... that is for sure... Thank you for reading And let know your thoughts... Good and dont forget to keep on shooting... 🤘🍻
@@doughgarcia6086 thanks for sharing your experience and watching my video! 🙏 You can for sure create really good pictures with this camera. Maybe the limitations made you more creative than with the R7???
Thank you for your insight! Much appreciated. I am getting this cam today, very curious! My first, so yea, i am a newbie. Didn't want to spend much money so this seems like a very good option.
which is the best for you sir this 2000d of canon or the nikond3500? I really double check the lowlight capability of nikon/ the iso is like blur isn't?
Your first camera is a BIG deal. You are buying into a system. Think of your dream camera first. Canon or Nikon, or what ever. Make sure if you very from photography or video, that you have options in the system you choose. Then pick your affordable camera in that line. Even the cheapest camera body performs better with better lenses, and your next step up in camera bodies gets real expensive if you need all new lenses to go with it. Every camera and lens "kit" comes with a cheap, under performing lens. The T7 is no exception, same with Nikon, Sony, etc. Many buy the body only and put the saved money towards a better lens. But most buy the kit. Especially if you can get the kit for almost the same price as just the body. But your camera can never perform better than the lenses mounted on it. So shop lenses before buying into a system as well.
For a lot of beginner’s the expectations of getting a real camera means high image quality and this simply does not provide it. At least not as many may hope for 😉
Hey can you help me? I'm thinking to buy a camera bt my budget is not that high moreover I'm only the beginner I've three options 1.Canon 2000d 2. Canon 4000d and 3.700d which will be better? And also will they provide better photo than a mid range android devices?
Hi, buy the cheapest one and learn all the basics of photography. Then later you can always see if this is something you really love to do. Yes the photos in good light conditions and the right editing will look better than every other smart phone. It won’t give you that smartphone look 👍
@@woofiooxx i actually already had the camera before i even watched the video i just never put it to work, and i wanted to see other peoples opinions i just recently used it tho and it works swell
Hi there . Question, does this camera take double exposures? With my 35mm film camera I was dabbling in double exposures and night time photos. Just wondering?
Hi, ik ben na deze camera aan het kijken, maar momenteel heb ik een Samsung s22 Ultra voor m'n foto's, vraag me af of dit echt een upgrade is van mijn s22 ultra.
Goeie vraag! Ik denk niet zozeer wat betreft foto kwaliteit. Maar wel dat je meer leert met een “echte” camera (dus dat je speelt met je sluiter snelheid, diafragma en iso waardes enzo). En je kan uiteraard nog andere lenzen aanschaffen voor deze camera en dan krijg je wel wat natuurlijker foto’s dan met de S22 ultra.
@@GaryJahman dank voor je reactie, met m'n s22 schiet ik alles eigelijk in manuel mode en raw etc, probeer het uiterste er uit te halen. Misschien handig om even te wachten en een wat "betere" camera te halen?
@@bryanbp89 lijkt mij een uitstekend idee! Haal alles uit je S22 en zodra het te beperkt wordt dan kan je inderdaad overstappen naar een betere camera. Ik zou sowieso dan zoeken naar een €1000+ camera en lens. Maar wees gewaarschuwd: het is een dure grap 😂
Yes it is the same! Sometimes companies are using different names for the same product due to legal reasons I think depending on the region/part of the world.
@@erickvargas5583 to be really honest you’ll need a proper lens and camera and to have that below 500 is almost not possible. Otherwise you may want to Google something like “budget sports cameras”
Is it better to have canon 2000d, 650d, 700,750d compared to fujifulm xt100? i dont see a lot of videos regarding xt100 prime lense like 50mm 1.8 though. Hope u could suggest
I never participated with any awards or anything, just did professional wedding photography for many years. So yeah, it was like doing a normal job for me. People that do normal jobs also don't have any awards or anything. But still have massive experience. Hope this makes sense
@@GaryJahmanI am a senior electrical engineer with master's degree and 15+ years of industry experience. I don't brag about it and certainly do not tell that to people just because! You could simply show the beginners the changes you made to the photo in lightroom(whatever you use), the lens you use, your settings and mention you are professional. What you did was not that, it was outright bragging which is heavily frowned upon! especially for someone who has not even participated in any competition, let alone winning any awards ;)
@@HondoMCI don't know about corniest, but this fella could talk about the end result photos much more gracefully rather than bragging about imaginary knowledge and experience.
@@alifarsani2469 Thanks for sharing and taking your time to respond senior electrical engineer with master’s degree and 15+ years in the industry. You should tell more people because that’s an amazing achievement. Much love ❤️
Hello, Gary! I want to buy 2000D, but it is going to be my first DSLR camera experience, and I don't want to mess things up. So my question is, should I buy some protection gear on top of the body and the lens of the camera? And if so, what should I buy?
Hello there! Well it really depends if you are clumsy or not 😅 For me I do not have any protection stuff but maybe a little screen protector for the display.
Screen protector, lens hood. If it's dusty or you eat sticky food and can't keep your fingers off the lens, a UV filter. That way when you clean the lens with your tee shirt and scratch it. Your lens won't be scratched, just the cheap filter. A good camera bag. Secure, and at least water resistant. Padded and room for a camera cleaning kit ( blower, brush, lens cleaning tissues), spare batteries, one or two extra lenses, and spare memory cards. Quick detach clips for your camera strap, especially if you also use a tripod. Camera straps are the number one reason for cameras on a tripod getting knocked over. Or off a table.
@@GaryJahman Okay, and also would you say how much millimeter is good to record pranks? Because I’m going to be making pranks like top notch idiots RU-vid channel
@@_l3330_ I believe they are the same camera’s but given a different name in several countries. I’d suggest renting a camera to try it out and see if you like the results
It will have much better quality when you crop, but most of all, when you zoom in with a phone, it's digital zoom, that means it's just cropping in. With a camera, zoom with the lens is optical, so you can still crop, but when you print the picture it has more detail and will be sharper. Phone cameras do a lot of processing automatically, leaving you a good picture, but much less data for you to process the picture as you want it. Phones have come a long way, but most cameras, even beginner cameras, still take better photos.
