If someone is confused about buying this camera or smartphone...let me tell you...it can beat any flagship smartphone interms of image quality any day.

I'm really happy to know that this camera is still alive and kicking. As a proud Canon T7 user, I have this camera for 5 years until I can afford to buy a Canon 90d. Although the T7 had its limitations especially it's very slow auto focus, It helped me improve my skills as a photographer and videographer.

Thanks. Its OK to ignore haters. Buy what you can afford. I know there are canon camera haters. This is a good camera imo. Great photos are done by great photographers - not expensive cameras.

I purchased a T7 with 18-55 and 75-300 kit lenses for just under $600 about a year ago and Tech Through The Lens was one of the 1st places I found that really helped me figure out how to make it work (thank you for that). I mainly shoot wildlife and I am by no means a professional, but I don't completely agree that it's not that great for sports or wildlife. It's true that 3fps isn't all that fast but that only limits the number of photos not the quality. The shutter speed and auto focus are more than capable of getting pretty decent pictures. I have also recently upgraded my lens options with a Sigma 150-600 zoom lens and it works great with the T7.

4:10 To any aspiring wildlife photographers out there, I still wouldn't let this dissuade you if you're looking for your first DSLR. I've been shooting on one of these for about 3 years now, primarily for wildlife and landscape, and it's served me very well. The slow frame rate does get frustrating at times - aerial shots of birds, for example, can be a bit difficult to get - but it'll push you to get better at assessing and anticipating the behavior of your subject, which will always be very valuable even on a faster model. If you're like me and seeking a promotion from point-and-shoot or smartphone photography without breaking the bank, whether that's due to your budget or doubts over the mileage you'll get out of it, I can't really think of a reason not to start with this model. The one thing I'd say to avoid a lot of grief, though, is to pay attention to that ISO! As mentioned here, this camera produces some very noticeable grain at 1600 or above depending on the lighting conditions. I was already using manual shutter and aperture to fine-tune my results, and also because onboard light meters on many cameras aren't yet able to discern between dark colors and actual darkness with 100% accuracy, often yielding not-quite-right exposure recommendations as a result. (This is something you see on many cameras, not just this guy.) Noticing when you're getting a bad reading comes with experience and can be worked around when you figure out the situation-appropriate tweaks to shutter and aperture. I still relied, though, on auto ISO mainly for the ease of use. What I didn't put together right away is that the same sensor deficiencies were also occasionally producing bad ISO results. I would be shooting a dark-colored subject and/or background with very strong ambient light and the result would come out disappointingly grainy. I eventually thought to review the metadata on these shots and realized that these elements were causing the sensor to blow out the ISO to 1600 or 3200 when the scene in fact required a much lower value. I still use auto ISO under certain circumstances because it can be quite helpful in reducing the amount of time spent fiddling with settings, but your subject matter and lighting conditions will dictate whether this time-saving is worth the possible side effects. It's also nudged me further into using a standalone light meter to assist with directing my camera settings and help eliminate these issues. (Full disclosure, I've been using a cheap app that uses your phone camera to get light readings until I can shell out for an actual, high-quality handheld light meter, but it's been getting the job done well enough for my purposes, lol.)

I just ordered this camera. It’s my first professional camera and I’m so excited to get more into photography.

The Rebel T7 was my first DSLR that I purchased back in the fall of 2019 I went everywhere with this camera I also upgraded my lens with the 18-200mm and the 75-300mm, both are canon lens I still have the T7 to this day and use it for either practice or travel to do street photography I have the 90D and that is my go to camera right now nice that the T7 is still relevent even in 2023.

loving my T7 kit from bestbuy... enjoying walking around and taking bird photos casually

dude, thank you so much! this video was short and SUPER helpful. I'm new to photography and before this, I was completely lost. Great video!

Im researching about beginner cameras and discovered your channel. I just wanna say. The way you talk and explain is beginner friendly. Your tone changes like it emphasizes on words that matter? Like on books where keywords have highlights? Thanks for a good video, man. Im sure I will be frequent on your channel. Peace!

I’m 13 and getting into photography, I’m gonna get this for bday, so excited❤

Thank you for providing a very clear review of this camera. I'm shopping for a new camera but the jargen goes over my head and you did an excellent job of explaining the features.

We love our Rebel… most product shots on our website site are all T5i (as of today). Using just sunlight and a quick minimal color correction.

Wow! I bought mine 3 or 4 yrs ago. I’ve watched a few videos on how good of a camera it is, but didn’t think it was better than some of these very expensive ones. It’s a great camera to learn photography and videography on😊.

Now THAT was a well-produced video. Thank you.

I'm looking to buy my first camera and it can be overwhelming with all the reviews out on the internet but you my friend nailed it for me. Thanks for keeping it simple and easy to understand, looking to get a T7 soon! keep up the vids!

Thanks! I just bought one and it will arrive the 17th! :) I can’t wait to start taking pictures with it.

You made the most easy video to understanding everything, answering questions as I would think of them

I bought this camera and excited to use it!

My aunt just gave me this camera today. I am a photo taker for my church and I was using my phone. So I am learning how to use it

Great camera im looking to upgrading to a 90D hopefully soon but I love this camera because of the Sensor I use the sigma 150-600 contemporary and it’s amazing

YEEESSSSSSS , wow this video was super instrumental to my first purchase of my camera! Im starting commercial photography soon, and all I had was a compact camera !!!

Just bought one today cuz the T8i wasnt available, but this video reassured me that im not missing out on too much 👍🏼 :)

I love the lens options too. That's super important when you start pricing lenses that cost 3 times more than the camera. Crazy

I am new to photography and have been putting off buying my first camera because I felt I need to research heavy before deciding; however, I decided "fuck it" and hopped down to my local pawnshop. I almost bought the Canon eos m5 that was there but it just seemed like a "fluffier" digital version of this camera. I love the light feel of it and Did notice the lack of bells and whistles making it very straight forward and easy to learn while handling. I recommend going to a pawn shop or anywhere that sells used cameras and find the best offer for the most intact camera. I got my camera and kit plus a third party wide lens for half the price of a brand new kit. I feel very confident in my choice because of this video and I'm excited to learn more.

Another great option for begginers is used cameras, ypu can get a 6d for about 200 bucks which is cheaper and full frame, plus the ergonomics and build quality of older flagship caneras that are cheaper can make them considerably more enjoyable to use. Though im saying this from having a 40d as my first camera and being used to a bunch of dials to quickly use manual settings so to each their own

Thanks! I love you photos of Toronto!

After watching this video I got everything I needed to know for video and photo. Nice!

Thank you very much for the review! You have convinced me that this is the camera that I'm going to start out with!

Quick question for you. I also have a Canon EOS Rebel T7, and have learned so much about it. I now wanna start doing videography! If I upgrade to a more advanced lens that is compatible for my camera, would that make a difference in my videography skills? Like would my videos be clear and precise?

I bought 1 today and its awesome ❤❤❤

Extremely helpful. Thank you so much.

You mentioned some alternatives for people who need more shots/second or who want to shoot video, but what if you want to do lots of low light photography? Is there a similar camera at a similar price point but that can handle higher ISO settings with less noise?

thanks! the 24mm made me feel better.. thought i'd made a mistake.. great prime lens.. Good Info, here.

Just got one today at Walmart for $385 I’m stoked. Bit of a learning curve going from my 10 year old Nikon to this new camera. I’m mainly using it for aerial landscape and air to air photography. Any lens recommendations?

Thank you. Buying it tomorrow.

Great video with essential explanations , bravo !

this vid was so helpful!

Thinking about picking this camera up for a upcoming Disney trip. Would this be a good camera for pictures inside the parks and would the 50 mm lense be the best bet. Your videos are really informative by the way.

Thank you for the great video. I did end up buying the Canon t7 kit, from Target: Case, and 75-300 zoom. Love it. I have a camera class tomorrow.

Amazing video, thank you!

My hubby know my obsession with this but I wanted to have that as a special gift from working many hours ❤ welp reward yourself for your hardwork

Just out of curiosity- how would this compare to the Canon Rebel XSi or T4i? I have used a variety of Canons, but I’m considering adding another Rebel model to the collection and wondering how much better it would be than those two models?

Picked one up on fb market for 100$ the other day. I've only been shooting film woth an old canon ae-1 35mm. So hopefully it will be a nice beginner dslr until I can afford something professional grade

Thank you much sir, especially about a lens replacement. It's all good, thanks to you.

its settled! im a completely new person to fancy cameras and after watching various videos and reading many articles and comparing cameras and brands im sold on this one:) thanks man!

I appreciate you!!!!! Thank you!! ❤

Great video man, many thanks.

Hey, Thank you for the video, is the Canon T7 the same camera as the Canon 2000D with different brandings?

thank you indeed your commentary was fulgurous :

Is this camera good for social media content? I primarily need something I can use for promotional videos and street photography. I like to shoot a lot of my videos and photos at night, so do you think this camera would be good for that? I am by no means a professional videographer or photographer, but I would like something that can look and perform better than an iPhone camera. So, between the Canon EOS Rebel T7, Nikon D3500, and Canon EOS M50 Mark II, which one would you recommend for what I'm trying to do? Or is there a completely different camera you would recommend for me to buy?

Heading to Vegas In September for the first time. I just purchased this camera from Amazon, Hopefully, It will do me justice.

Can I say I like this video I’ve been debating on what’s a good beginning camera and honestly I want this t7 camera period. Hopefully along the way I can look into others but I want one to where I can start doing videos and some photos

Hi Which lenses you recommended again for the T7? Please share a link to buy. Thank you for the thorough explanation.

I have a hand-me-down Rebel Xti. Would this be a considerable upgrade?

I have a Canon T7. I have been using it for a few years now and it’s been great. Would you recommend a 90D or 5D Mark IV? I want to upgrade my body with some better autofocus

Resolution is not always the issue it can out perform a webcam you get more detail 14 bit sensor

Thankkkkkk Uuuuu Alot great info lol frrrr thanksss

I have a T7 or actually a 2000d to be exact with a 50mm 1.8 lens. Love it except I wish it had eye autofocus.

So would you say this camera would be better for videos?

Would you say, along with its kit lens, the T7 would be okay for shooting, say, an interview where the camera is simply fixed on a tripod?

Thank you for this review

I still have AND use my Rebel T6i…STILL takes better photos than my iPhone 14 Max Pro LOL

What would be a good vintage/cinematic lens for canon rebel 7 please?

Any links to the recommended replacement lenses on Amazon? I can’t find a reference to “Prime”

Im looking to buy my first camera which I will solely use for landscape photography. this is the price point im comfortable with but I want to know if there is anyother options out there for landscape photography that I should consider?

Awesome video!!! I’ve got a few questions that I’m hoping someone in these comments can help with! So I’m interested in starting my own photography business. I need a camera to shoot really detailed close up shots along with landscape and action shots(of people not animals). I’d like to be able to shoot video as well but I’d only use the camera for short video segments. There are just so so many options and I don’t know how to decide. I’ve had people recommend the T7, RP, and the 90D. Price wise I’d like to stay around $1,000 or less. Any suggestions?

I’ve been searching for some good beginner cameras to buy since I want to get into the hobby of photography, and this video has me pretty hooked! I’ll still look into other options but so far this has me ready to try and buy it 😅 The pictures in the video were jaw dropping - but do you think it’s good for taking pictures up close? I want to start with sizes similar to nendoroids, etc.

Does it have the self timer feature?

What is a good all around versatile Canon lens to grab instead of the kit?

This was quite helpfull 👌🏻

would this camera be good for using as a webcam for streaming?

Amazing video ❤️

So according to you can we use this camera for vlogging or not??

This video might have just changed my mind on what camera to get. I was going to get the m50 because its newer and more compact. But I am only doing photos so I really don't need the nicer vireo on the m50. And they have the same sensor anyway so I might go with this camera instead which also saves me some money for a nice lens

Would love to see a video on the Nikon Dxx products

Seems like a great camera but I want the Sony a6400 for the autofocus and the faster shutter speed but I don't got the money it's been a rough year

Best explanation, ever!

Wow that's so nice camera

Hoping you can help, would this be good to stream a podcast or stream video games for my face cam?

Is the Lens that the camera comes with any good?

Is the t7 good for macro photography? I am looking for a camera that isn't too expensive and can do macro. This is so confusing when you are new to any photography.

Is this good for real estate photography? Lower lighting?

Is this a good camera for podcasting?

This Canon camera reminds me of the Nikon D5600

This video was super helpful, thank you! I'm trying to buy my first camera and the search has been pretty difficult. I want to mostly focus on pictures which this sounds good for, however I also plan on doing some filming. I don't know a lot about cameras yet (I'm learning) and I was wondering if there was a lens or something that would help the quality of the video? Also I was wondering what lens you would recommend with this camera for a beginner just looking for good quality photos. Thank you!

I am looking to record myself woodworking. The camera is never gonna leave the tripod. Do you think this camera would be good? I want something that's gonna be in 1080p, I'll post the videos to RU-vid but really don't care if people watch or not. If people do, awesome, but I mainly just want good video of me doing my thing for current and future family to watch when I'm an old man or something lol.

Is the kit lens itself actually plastic, not glass? Can the T7 be bought with "nifty-fifty" sans kit lens?

I think I'm gonna just go for it and get this camera when I get home

What’s the best affordable camera for concert photography???

If I got a lends that would zoom far, would this be good for plane spotting

Is this camera good for podcasts since it’s not alot of motion going on

This is not a review of the T7, this is an ad. This guy is to broad and doesn't talk about the camera features in particular that sets it apart or anything worth while that doesn't make it sound like any other DSLR camera

Got the body, 18-55 lens, bag, and SD kit for 419 EUR, lol. 100 euro promoted discount. Nothing close in its price range atm. Thanks for the great review

I want to record an event is this good for that to just leave it playing on it’s own hooked to a stand? What’s the Battery life and how long can I record for without stopping? Can I pause and continue to record? Please help!!!! I need this for this Friday I need all the help I can get new at this and my photographer let me down

Best camera to shoot good image quality videos cannon t7 good for it

I understand you said that this isn't great for quick action shots/video like sports, but what about if it was used for streaming on youtube or twitch? Since most streaming isn't a super quick action like a sport, would it still be a good quality?

Is this good for a concert Like the zoom and etc ?

Would this be good for railfanning
