Canon T6i (750D) - Field Test and Review 

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:).

Hello and thanks for the post:). I agree - the kit lens is not bad and did a solid job IMO:).

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.

Thanks for the post/feedback Sam!:)

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 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4StJ6QmYvpQ.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 .

Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel!:) I created a couple of other videos that you might find helpful ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KTneVSxv1qs.html (this is all about modes outside of Auto), ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TbSgl5e6h7I.html (trailing car lights), ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P9o3jyPaybw.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

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 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cORINOaLSTk.html). I have friends that shoot Canon, Nikon, and/or Sony ... always a good discussion:).

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:).

God bless you Eddie and stay the path:).

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.

catching up on older comments but very nice to see someone nearby!:)

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!:)

Stay with it and have lot of fun!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) This is a good/solid camera - enjoy!:)

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!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback Mike and glad to be of help!:) Enjoy the camera - it is great/solid!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)

Thank you for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)

RealWorld No problem

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!:)

Glad to be of help - a nice/solid camera:).

Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the world of DSLRs!:) Take your time and have fun - lots of fun getting to know the camera and practicing with various shots, etc. Take a look at the video on created on steel wool which was good fun (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P9o3jyPaybw.html):).

Hello - thank you for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)

Thank you for the feedback Bruno!:)

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?

Thanks for the feedback!:)

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!

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:).

Thanks for the post/feedback David and welcome to the channel!:) I will have more videos on way so stay tuned:).

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:).

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:).

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:).

Thanks for the post/feedback Quentin!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback!:)

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 :)

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:).

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.

Thanks for the post Jay and glad to be of help!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Agreed - I really like the focus mechanism on the T6i:).

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.

i typically shoot in raw. nonetheless, if you are shooting in jpeg, ensure you are using the highest quality.

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.

thank you:) ... شكرا لكم وبارك الله فيكم

share similar thoughts regarding larger body - a better fit for my hands :)

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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tqd_Cnk-FBM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZRJ8aifcin4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nkh78JifdVc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pKnpLb32j1w.html

@@RealWorld thank you so much. Eagerly waiting for POST PROCESSING TUTORIAL....

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).

LOL - too funny, I have heard that before:)

Ahahahahhaa

HAHAHA

Lol

😁😂my jon carry

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

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 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4StJ6QmYvpQ.html

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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6I3jtQfd-sU.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:).

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help:).

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:).

glad to be of help!:)

a bit late to reply but i might lean towards the 200S Mark II (SL2)

Congrats and enjoy the camera - lots of fun!:)

Thanks for the feedback and question!:) Ahhhh yes, this is a result of using auto ISO:). When set to auto, the camera has the ability to select a value between stops.

Thanks for the suggestion ... I plan to create additional follow-up how-to videos for first time DSLRers:).

Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)

I might lean towards the M6 if given the two choices:).

glad to be of help!:)

LOL - audio is always a bit challenging although I like to think it is getting better with each video:).

Both are solid/capable. The a6000 is mirrorless whereas the 750d is not. I miiiight lean towards the a6000 as it is pack with many features but keep in mind the a6000 has an electronic view finder and will consume more battery:).

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.:)

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).

thanks for the post/feedback Kyle and glad to be of help!:)

I might lean towards the 750d if planning to shoot more video than photos and lean slightly towards the D5600 ( amzn.to/2DJkQ3k ) if planning to shoot more photos than video:).

What setting is the pictures are?

Glad to be of help!:)

Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I used the standard kit lens that came with the camera:).

Look for deals on the Nikon D3400 ... since Nikon just shipped the D3500, the D3400 should go on sale:).

Thanks for the post/question:). I used the 18-55 kit lens - works well! :)

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 ❤️

LOL ... yes, they are the same just different names depending on what part of the world you live in:).

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.

I might lean towards the D3400 if you plan to take more photos than video and lean towards the 750d if you plan to take more video than photos:).

@@RealWorld but what if you would do both? which is better??

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.

Stay the course ... it will take time but you will get there:).

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.

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:).
