Canon M6 II Sigma 30mm Sample Photography (at the Pittsburgh Zoo)
Hey! Might be an odd question but I use my Canon M50 M2 mostly for streaming as my facecam but also use it to record stuff like panels from time to time. Would you recommend the Sigma in that case? I really like having a stronger bokeh which is what it seems like it can do better for my streams. I guess I'm just worried that since the lens itself is bigger, it may appear way closer than the 22m I'm currently using. Thoughts?
It might be a bit more but I absolutely love using the Sigma 16mm 1.4 for my UA-cam videos and that what I'd probably recommend the most! Definitely a good lens to invest in!
I feel so sigma!
What the Sigma
Well done 🤘 Greetings from Russia 🤘 But what about some settings or modes u used taking those pics? Aperture priority or else? Could u tell some?
great video! you're right about the experience. if canon makes a retro camera, I'd jump all over it and pre order it right away. keep up the great work!
I just read a Canon rumor today that the CEO of Canon wants to make a mirrorless RF mount AE-1... Let's hope it's true and they don't take too long!
@@AndrewKnepper that would be amazing!! I did pick up a m6mk2 thsts silver and black, I love using this camera much more than my r6mk2
You skipped over the only thing UA-camrs care about, 16:9 1080p 30fps recording for UA-cam. Nothing else you talked about matters. Not sure how you could miss that as a UA-camr (???)
Nothing else matters? 1080p 30 FPS is actually kind of a standard on all modern camras so I didn't really consider it a feature! But yes I do shoot 1080p a lot on this camera! Thanks for watching!
@@AndrewKnepperexactly 1080p is found on like every single new camera. And now everyone is going to 4k so you would think 1080p would just be a obvious resolution this camera would have
Oh good. I've already seen your MK 200 review. Im really thinking to order this mic. I need one for outdoors recording.
Great mic for a great price!
Do you have outdoor audio samples?
Yeah, check out my full length review!
Just picked up a R7. This Sigma will work great with it, especially for my indoor volleyball shots thanks to the 2.8
Nice! I'm gonna get an R7 soon!
I currently have the rebel T3, would this be a good upgrade body? I don’t need anything insane just something that I use for fun..?
Yeah definitely a great upgrade!
@@AndrewKnepper canon 50mm EF and 18-55mm EFS will work with that body right?
Hey, I have the canon mark50 II and I was wondering would I have to get the speed booster too?
Is it optional?
For an EF mount lens you'll need an adapter or speedbooster on the Canon M50 which is an M-mount camera!
What lens would you recommend? I’m a beginner I have the sigma 35mm ( also loved your review on it). I want to do a combination of portraits and Candids but noticed that for Cándida that require zoom is shows a lot of noise :( What other lens would you recommend?
I'm not Andrew, but for what its worth, I've been looking at different Canon EOS R series cameras for purchase. I used to be a 35mm film camera person many years ago, have had a number of non-dslr digital cameras since, but would like to get a better mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera sometime soon. I like having a long zoom range personally, particularly for travel and being out and about, avoiding switching lenses... capturing a picture in the moment, not missing something while changing lenses. I'm leaning toward an R7 or R10 with the Canon 18-150 Image Stabilized zoom. But as Andrew alluded to, the choice will depend on a person's specific needs and budget. Also adding 1 or more fixed lenses for specific needs - youtube or portraits, you could get something with a larger/faster aperture, generally sharper, or could consider an adapter EF-EOS-R which allows using 3rd party EF lenses, that tend to provide additional choices that may be more affordable. Also note that some of the noise tends to vary depending on light level, and for people willing to do some light post editing, software comes with option to smooth the noise some in the final picture, as needed. If I were to add a lens, I'll probably add a longer zoom, as it seems like my subjects are more likely to be farther away than I'd prefer, to get a larger image in the frame.
I have been really loving the new Sigma 18-50mm f2.8!
I have the r50. I have the stm 1.8 35mm and the kit lense. I’m worried the IS might be an issue for shaky videos and photos. Also does it shoot fast in low light situations like the 1.8 35mm? Because the kit lense is slow and I seem to always miss the perfect shot and they show up as a bit blurry. Also the sharpness on the kit lense isn’t great vs the 1.8 35mm prime. Is the sharpness of photos as good as the 35mm or is it worse.
The Sigma 18-50mm is sharp and fast! Better than the kit for sure!
The minimum shutter speed you should use on this lens is 1/100th of a second. If you are still getting blurry photos, focus on keeping still. If you are still struggling, shoot short bursts until you are confident shooting just once. You should get no blurry images when shooting over 1/200th of a second. Hope that helps :)
Does canon have an app for sharing photos and videos to your phone like gopro where you have to buy a subscription or is it free? Because I don't want to pay monthly/yearly subscriptions
Yeah there's an app and it's free! It works great too!
Does it work with the Canon SL3?
Unfortunately it does not :( The Canon SL3 is an EF mount camera and the only Canon mount for this lens is RF which is not adaptable. The EF system does have lots of lens options available! Or if you're looking for an RF mount Camera upgrade I'd recommend the R10 or R7!
@@AndrewKnepper thank you! Unfortunately I have no plans in changing the camera as I just got my SL3 recently. I am just starting in this photography world; I wanted the R5 Mirrorless but it wasnt on stock
Thank you for this review! I’m not sure if I should take this one, I’ve read in the comments that it’s similar to the 50mm and I always use that one (mostly at 1.8 since I want the bokeh effect), but I’m looking for another one that allows me to obtain that effect in full figure portraits and to not have to go far from the person. I’ve thought about the 35mm at 1.8 at least but it’s quite expensive though /: which one would you recommend?
The Sigma 30mm is great for portraits! Anything with a good apature from 24mm to 50mm is good to use on APS-C cameras for portraits!
I own the M50 and whenever I turn it vertical the image is sideways. How to I shoot a vertical video using HDMI out into my computer and have my image be vertical instead of sideways?
You will have to use a editing software to rotate the footage either 90° or 270° I believe. On most newer cameras like the Canon R10 they have the ability to sense when you're shooting vertical video or horizontal video which is a nice feature!
Hey man in this 2 cameras which camera should i buy in 2024?? Pls reply 🙏
Not sure I understand the question! Sorry!
Great review
Thank you!
Is it a great combination. Canon R10 and RF 800?
Yeah I mean the R7 has image stabilization which would be better with that length of focal distance, but the R10 is a great beginner option!
Have you tried filming something while zooming in and out a couple of times? I've seen some reviews where the lens loses focus completely every time you zoom. Do you have the same issue?
Yes, that does seem to happen almost every time it zooms in and out. I think most zoom lenses are this way. I usually set my distance and then film my shot rather than record while zooming, so personally it's not an issue for me!
I've got it on R50. It's better than I expect. The benefit of better AF system on newer Canons really shine over equivalent Sonys(ZV-E10)/Nikon(Z50/Z30).
Canon has always been on top of the auto focus! This lens works great with the R10 so they built a great lens that keeps up with the modern auto focus system.
I have my R50 since a year already. Now i realised i should have bought r7 only got the autofocus
Great review! Have you had any issues with the r10 not being stabilized for stills?
Thank you! No, I haven't noticed any issues with photography and video I just use digital image stabilization.
I suspect the pandemic ended Canon's M-series. I carry my M6mkii for street photography with very small and optically perfect Leica M-mount lenses. I find that setting the focal range like a rangefinder lets me grab quick shots in the moment. The flexibility to program all the dials and buttons really lets me set the camera up for stealthy shots!
Yeah it's hard to want to get anything else when this little camera has so many useful features and in a perfect compact design! Still love using it!
How does it compare to the regular D4 Mini which you also reviewed?
The D4 has a few more features, but the D4 mini is more portable and half the price so both are great options!
out of all my lenses, the one that has earned me the most money is easily the Sigma 16mm
It really is the Sigma of Sigma lenses
What about the Mark II
Yeah it's work it too!
If I buy the sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens for canon ef what would I need to put this lens on my GH5? Im new to this
You'll need an EF to Micro 4/3 adapter to use this EF version mount!
@@AndrewKnepper thanks
Does a 70-200 f2.8 Sony Lens and a 24-70 f2.8 Sony lense fit? Camera is Sony a7 iii
Not entirely sure, but it does have tons of room with the top part and the bottom part combined! I'd say you could make it fit!
I am just getting started and I have a canon rebel t2i I got back in 2012. I was looking to buy this lens but it has an EFS mount. Would I need an adapter for this lens?
Yeah this lens will mount to your camera! No adapter needed!
@@AndrewKnepper Awesome! Thank you!
I have the 1dx mk 3 which is full frame. Would this work for it?
Yes it would mount to your camera, however you will have vignetting. I think there is a way in settings to crop the sensor in to make it equivalent to an APS-C sized sensor but I'm not particularly sure how that works.
I bought mine new a few years ago. Other than the limitless recording in the new Canon cameras, my M6 Mark II smokes most of the new Canon R line. It is IMHO the most underrated camera that is still a very viable camera, even for professional work.
Totally agree! This camera is very underrated!
nice shots man and digging the editing too. chill vibes!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I recently got the MKE 400 and I have trouble recording the sound properly. It sounds much more quiet on the recording than on the live-test with the headphones plugged in. When I was checking the sound before recording I was surprised how much it picks up and I loved it right away. Once I heard the recording though I was disapointed. I use a Zoom F2 field recorder and I already switched from 48 down to 44.1 kHz which is "louder" and more crisp. But it´s still relativly quiet compared to the live audio with the plugged in headphones. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Wating for a 70 - 200 apsc hopefully sigma makes it...
Agreed 👍
just to confirm, the lens doesn't have any kind of stabilization, correct? asking since my a6400 body doesn't have in-body stabilization:(
Yeah unfortunately no image stabilization...
I’m more interested in learning cinematography or doing videos/streaming Is this a good first camera? I do have a canon t7, but I know that’s technically better for photos, but I’m more into learning video
Yeah the R10 has great video specs for beginners!
@@AndrewKnepper Dope! That might be what I get, thanks!
Still my favorite lense
Nice foot pad
Agreed! 👍
This or Secret Lab?
Haven't used a SecretLab desk so I can't say for sure however the Vari desk is a great option I can confidently say!
I am looking for a lightweight and compact camera to use on high altitude expeditions in the Himalayas. and I am expecting to get good quality photos and videos of other mountains from the top of the summit. Canon M 50? which would be a great? I'll be very grateful if you guide me. Thank you.
The M50 is a great beginning camera! The Canon 22mm F2 lens is also a nice compact lens able to get some amazing shots as well as the Sigma 30mm 1.4!
@@AndrewKnepper thank you very much for your recommendation
Awesome setup bro
Thanks bro!
I got a R10, I just use full frame glass, I plan on upgrading soon any
Nice which camera are you planning on updating to?
Hdrpq mode 👌🏾
Hi Andrew! Have you used Nikon 85mm on crop sensor? What are your thoughts?
I haven't use any Nikon lenses, so sorry I don't know anything about them.
@@AndrewKnepper its ok.
Am I doing something wrong but it doesnt let me change the white balance unless i use the auto options it has. it doesnt let me set my own white balance
You can definitely set the color balance to whatever Kelvin you want to. Look up how to change it and you'll definitely figure it out!
