Why is this the Best Selling DSLR? | Canon T7 

The Rebel T7 is a fantastic camera! I use it to shoot weddings and earn around $2k. You simply have to work around the camera's limitations and invest in a 50mm or 24mm prime lens. I recently purchased a 90d and sold my T7, and I am forever grateful for the experience I gained with that camera.

Don't blame the dogs for farting. I know it was you. 😉🤣 Great content as always. Keep it UP!

As an amature landscape shooter I can tell you that is this 100% all you need for photography. I do agree that there are some features missing for the video geeks, but as someone who regularly takes his trusty old t3i on hikes, you don't need anything more than this. In fact, I would go so far as to recommend the t3i to anyone on a really tight budget wanting to get into photography. The only aspect that matters for photo that is a weak point of the t3i is its dynamic range, which no doubt the t7 has more of. Even if you can afford something more expensive than the t7, I'd advise you to save your money and get more lenses instead.

What I learned about the autofocus on this camera is that you have to be within range of the focal length of the lens in order for it to autofocus and get a clear picture

WOW! it just shows that it's not the camera but the person using it. Amazon must LOVE you 😍

Hey guys can you please press like so potato jet can see it? Dear Mr.Potato?, I'm a big fan of yours. My name is Bobe, I am fourteen years old, a noob filmmaker, I've made some video/shorts before. I hope that one day I can make videos in LA just like you and maybe work in the industry when I grow up. I'm going to this filmmaking camp in Burbank from the end of June to the start of August. I was wondering if there is a way that I can meet you maybe grab lunch on the weekend because you really inspire me as there isn't much Asian filmmaker on youtube and generally Asian in the filmmaking industry in America so I really look up to you. I know I might be asking too much but I just really want to meet you in person and get to know you.

I currently shoot on the a7 these days but the rebel series is single-handedly what got me into photography and later videography and I still recommend those cameras as great cheap entry level cameras to get a feel for the hobby.

I use the T7i and I love it! It’s basically the same as the 70D ( mostly) in that it offers duel auto focus, mic input, APS-C CMOS sensor, etc.. I bought it used with 2 nice lenses for 525.00. You can’t beat the value. It’s a great beginners camera 👍

I bought the canon T6 last year and I do all my photography on it. I love it, got myself a few decent lenses and I’m set for a little bit. I liked this video a lot tho.

i remember my first dslr, the t2i (or 550D over here in the uk) and even now i would recoomend it as a first if someone wants to learn photography or get into video, suprisingly durable and has everything to get someone started, even now im using a 600d (t3i for you americans) and loving it after the howmany years of abuse its been through.

Wait but how does he do slo-mo, when the camera only shoots 30fps?!?!?!?

Your hand getting better

My starter camera was a refurb Canon rebel t5 that I got directly from Canon. After a year and change with it I sold it to a camera reseller for $50 profit. Good times.

I have this camera but there’s one thing I don’t like, I can’t use my rode microphone with it, you have to buy the rebel t7i instead then you can use a mic

He's so smart, he gave us a very funny part at the very end, very clever

I have a Canon 1300d, which is known as the Rebel T6 in the US I guess. It is THE BEST camera to start learning.

O man, When you hit MANUAL mode, it was eos R (at least ).

Good point about resale value. I just sold my old t3i kit + nifty fifty for $300...

I bought the T7i and was thinking I got took as the price is almost double between the two cameras. But still good info. Thanks.

This line of canon DSLR was always selling well, its "ok" but limited. I do have one T3i (600D ) and do some easy/simple job well when paired with some good lens.

Nice to hear a bit about your old Canon Rebel... I'm making my first steps into photography with a used Rebel T4i (650d), got it for $200 w/ 18-55, 80-200, tripod, backpack & extra battery :) Thanks for the video too, solid tips!

I sold my T2i which I bought in 2010 for 280$ and bought an M50 recently. The T2i served me really well but it didn't have DPAF and Flippy Flippy Screens. Nice review 🥔. Thanks for the video Eh

Next video you should compare b-roll from this camera to b-roll with the Eos-R

If your going to spend exactly 400 get the lumix fz300 it has a mic jack time lapse a flip screen 4K and good auto focus but the only downside is the the lens is not changeable but it’s a great lens ($397) but that’s just what I would do

AGREED! GLASS IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN THE CAMERA. For anyone learning, get at least one wide aperture prime lens to learn on.

I had the T2i and the 50mm 1.8 for so long. I could do everything with this setup. Still you use the setup from time to time.

Would this camera work for a beginner photographer? Like for some low end or just newbie photo shoots? Just to get started on a budget? If not which camera would you recommend?

you say that with a good lense this camera can be a beast so which lense do you recommend for it? Obviously no one is gonna buy a lense that is worth more than the camera itself, which i feel like most are what are some decent lenses that arent too bad for it? How about the Canon 75-300? I have that one that came with it as well as the Kit lense which I dont really like

I have a Canon Rebel T5i and it’s still doing me good

3:55 oh! God, that was real cinematic shoot, I just want that camera now so badly... So... Can I have it just because I love your videos? :'3

Potato jet for president 👍🏽👍🏽

ur a fighter bro! one hand beast hahaha but wow! good price, not too complex and for a beginner and aspiring vlogger that's perfect. i think....

lmao, I love how smooth you were in not mentioning the name on that YN 50mm.

I got 1300D(T6) as a gift to learn how to use a camera since it’s my first camera And I have a question about lens should I get a normal Lens or Pro L lens because in the future I’m gonna upgrade my camera! And I already learn all things related to shoot good photo and knowing my camera and lens holding me back for what I’m gonna do with !! Thanks before hand for answering

Im a mobile photographer for 5 years and thought nows the time for a try at true photography. What would be a good start as of 2022 now?

I'm currently loving my canon t5i that I got used last year, learning the ropes with photography, but would also like to venture into video, but I know lenses are king over body.

Why would anyone buy this over the SL2 or the SL3? My first and current DSLR is the SL2 and it has a mic input, timelapse, and 1080p up to 60fps. Super solid!

I'm looking to buy my first DSLR and I found your video! Great review! But still, I just want to ask if it's a good camera for mainly toy photography? Thanks!

Thing is, RU-vid pitch shifts the video to compensate for the playback speed. You do sound drink when slowed down and the pitch doesn't change.

I watched 2 min and I learned everything I needed.

Would you recommend this to a beginner filming sports? If not what camera would you recommend?

Jason vs Potato is like Sony Vs Canon :)

Awesome video you answered a lot of questions I had about the T7

get sl2 if t7i seems expensive to you, its the same.. just no digital is.. and less focus point if you cap stills..

Great video this camera looks pretty good for its price

Excellent videomaker man 👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙

Honda Rebel and Canon Rebel, okay

Are accessories for the T7 and T7i interchangeable?

have a question do you ever write out what you are about to say before film for your videos ? started a channel but have trouble remebering everything i need to say .

I have the T5. Not the best for video but still takes great pictures!

Canon T2i was my first ever camera! Got it in 2010.. then went all Fuji

Glad I got my G7 over the T6 a few months ago for my first camera

I'll have to google what a T7 is? I'm guessing either a 1300D or 2000D maybe?

Big bang for a beginner for the bucks

You should check out the T7i as a comparison, its more video based but still lacking a lot because of the price point.

Canon has a great camera with the T series..loved using one..

Two Rebels in one video😄😄

I would buy the t2i in 2019 for 200 dollars or less instead of this. at least you would have mic input. the other features are almost the same.

You own a dr 650? Just traded mine in after 4 years. Loved the dirt pig.

thanks for the best review i ever seen.

Trolling Canadians eh! Next time you’re in Toronto I hope Maddi goes all hockey on you. How about that? Huh!? Great video again Gene. Hope your recovery is coming along well.

Was all this footage stabilized in post or not?

I got the D5000 and I'm planning to upgrade to the D500 or something of the sort

nice vid. i would pick the canon sl2 which does have dpaf AND a mic in jack (i do wish it had a headphone port!). the canon sl2 is often cheaper than the t7! thumbs up.

What lenses do you suggest for this? I’m looking to photograph families.

hi russell hope you get well soon

so well explained preciate you

Would you recommend this camera for shooting podcasts ?

I can see her smiling from ear to ear under that helmet that's an awesome motorcycle.

A honda Rebel! \m/ Time does fly. my T3i is still working just fine but trully getting left behind. BTW you can install Magic lantern in these rebels and have alot of awesome features like a built in intervalometer or even focus peaking and trap focus shutter which helps with manual focus since its crappy. slap a prime in it and boom. awesome content!

Please for example can we buy a EF S 17-55 it’s a different lens from the original but it’s for this t7 one ? Does it make big difference in the quality of the canon! Compatible with the canon t7

Honestly, I could care less about auto focus, I'm use to Canon AE-1, which is from the late 70's for those who don't know.

I'm thinking of getting one

So you are shooting a Honda Rebel with a Canon Rebel? That should have been the title of the video :)

The problem is that the SL2 is less than $100 more and has all the video features you want. 

Shit, was laughing at you when you broke your arm. Just broke mine this week :(

Yeah -- for a "new" purchase of a functional DSLR -- great price! Nice motorcycle!

this was so helpful!! thank you :)

got a 200D still all the features like DPAF etc + FLIPPY SCREEN , but i use it for photography

I have this camera I’m getting used to it, this camera doesn’t have a mic plug-in how did you capture sound in these videos

Where did you get that shrimp at? Was it any good?

This was a great review. Thank you.

Which lens did you use to take better quality pictures on the Canon t7?

Last thing I remember about cameras and photography was how I got a B in high school and how my brother had one, so I'm getting back to it starting next week when I finish my exams. Any websites, tutorials or recommendations? I have my brother's old camera and will make due with it till I slowly become more accustomed, now hardware out if the way it's all about software folk. Thanks in advance

Watch the video at 1.25X speed. Because of Potato Jet's wide movements, he looks like a caffeine addict 😅

To others out there: It is obvious that Potato Jet is using a stabilizer in these shots (or probably stabilizing in post) since the incam stabilization for this device sucks..

Not all of us say "eh". Nice video

The Rebels are awesome. More importantly, they stand up to years of (ab)use from my high school students and they just keep working. Killer deal for $399!

Always quality that is going UP with you

People underestimate how important it is to have entry level cameras! Not everyone wants/needs to shoot on top of the line stuff!

"Hey what's that lens do" Like it's just a second kit lens *Holds a 50 f1.2 *

I bought a T7 in April 2019. Several thousand shots and 11 months later, and I've upgraded to an 80D (along with an 18-135mm, 50mm, and 55-250mm alonythe way) I learned a lot on it and am glad for the experience. Is it great? No - is it a good way to get into DSLRs? From my experience, I'd say YES

T7 sales are going UP and UP , day by day.

You could have added 30 more seconds in this video and make it 10 minutes long and earn a bit more😅😅😅

Why is it the best selling camera? One word - Costco

In my experience, the Rebel series have been a good balance between cost vs image quality. Especially when the DSLR movement started back in the day.

Motorbike stunts next?!! Right arm this time 😅 Go full RoboCop

Dude, you're hilarious. Love your videos. (Great information, too!)

Nobody: Potato: 399$ Me: Buy this chair for only £399!

This is my 1st time watching a camera review on professional cameras as I’m looking for new cameras to help improve my channel and I must say this video set the bar for other camera reviewers I loved the commentary and never got bored with the great footage and camera shots and b roll. Fantastic video! Very much appreciated!!! 👍🏾
