I'd go with a T8i over an M50 MKII. Better ergonomics and physical controls, better battery life, side SD card slot, and it natively accepts EF and EF-S lenses. There aren't many EF-M lenses to begin with, and while the adapter does give you more options, the M50 doesn't pair well with bigger lenses because of the awkward balance. If all you're using the camera for is live streaming and shooting talking head videos, then I'd get the M50 MKII and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and call it a day. If you're actually getting into photography and/or videography then go with the T8i.
@@Aj-me8mo If you're just shooting talking head videos and you don't already have some nice EF/EF-S lenses, then you should go with the Canon M50 MKII and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4. If you actually plan on holding the camera while you use it, go with the Canon T8i and 17-55mm f/2.8.
Thanks for this review. I went with this one for the mic input, the Bluetooth connection and the flip out screen. Just getting into photography and videography so I feel like it was a good choice. Thanks for the lens recommendation upgrade
sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
I had the t6i when I came out and loved the camera but sadly it got ruined during the 4th of July. Just purchased the t8i and what an upgrade and a lot of the features. I am thoroughly enjoying the new camera and thanks for the tidbits regarding video which I don’t really do that much.
When talking about the 1.7x crop in the 4K, you forgot to mention that it already has a 1.6x crop since it’s an aps-c camera. That makes for even more intense cropping.
As I mentioned in the review if you want a DSLR style body because they are robust and have this classic feel. Get the canon t8i. But if you just want a canon camera, I would get the Canon m50
Great video thank you for the information I was actually looking at the M 50 as well but I am looking for something that can handle 4K a little bit better than these two is there something you would recommend around this price range I am looking to do vlogging style videos
Hi: Love your reviews. I know this video is about t81. I just bought the Canon Rebel T7. Love it so far. I noticed the T81 has ISO of 25k vs. the 6400 ISO of the T7. Would you recommend eventual upgrade from the t7 to t8? Video is not that important to me.. Again, thank you for the honest reviews.
The 25k iso doesnt mean it totally clean at that iso. I would recommend a new canon rf camera. If video is important , the r50 is a good budget option or the canon r7 is a great serious video camera
What lens do you prefer for video? I have the T8I, and mostly use EFS 35MM Macro for beauty content & also have the 50MM 1.8 (which I don't use as often as I should)
I have a Canon T5 that i use for photography and videography (here and there) and im looking to upgrade soon. would the t8i be worth the upgrade from my t5? or should i just hold out on the purchase
Hi River. Just to clarify, I have the Canon M50 but want a second Canon camera. Do you think I should purchase the T8i or, would you recommend another Canon camera? Thank you for your video and your time.
Great info dude. Love your stuff. I just bought the t8i. I got it for the video portion of my photography. My photos are from my D7500. What zoom lens should I buy for my t8i??? INEXPENSIVE one..
Great review thanks for being honest and real. Would you buy a 850D, if you are getting it for 1/3 of the price I know it's the same as T8i but for other countries?
This is great camera for any skill level. But its definitely on the high end of beginner cameras. I would also consider the m50 mk II in this price range
Hello I have a question, so I have this t8i, I’ve had it for about a year and it’s great I have no real complaints with it overall but I am curious would a canon 5dmk4 be worth investing in if I wanted a few more perks and something a little more on the “professional” side and less “entry level” or are the stats so minimal that sticking with the t8i would be my best option, i just love the lenses I have currently so wanted to stick with Ef mount
Hi Bro, Truly a nice content. I liked it. I am a novice for the photography. I don't want to by a cheap model but wanted something medium range to start the photography. which camera you suggest. I have compared canon T8i with other versions such as EOS4000D, EOS2000d, EOS800D and I found this one is much better. What are you opinions on this? I also got few recommendations for Nikon D7500, so should I stick with Canon which is my personal choice or should I go with Nikon?
quick question; if autofocus not being useable while using 4k, and the downsize in the frame, with a gimbal I should still be able to get some good scenes no? 😬
So I have the T6, you don't think it's a good enough upgrade to justify? I would think the more megapixels alone, but I'm not a expert. I've been wanting to upgrade my lenses due to all I have are the ones that came with it. Thanks for any imput.
Personally, if I had the T6 I would sell it and upgrade to the T8i. It is very worth the upgrade, and selling the T6 would boost you closer instead of just spending the entire 1000$ for the T8i out of pocket.
Hi!!!! I've been considering buying this camera and it was quite fortunate that you mentioned the Canon M50s as I work with two of them. They're solid alright, but there is one very annoying issue with cameras in NZ which is finding camera couplers that will fit the Canon M50s. I was wondering if that would be an issue with the T8i/850D? What type of relay would work for that camera?
Im currently trying to invest in a dslr camera and stuck between the t7i and the t8i would I be better be better off with getting the t7i or should I just get the t8? I was leaning towards the t8 because of the 4K but if it’s not as good as you say I’m debating saving the money and getting the older one
Hi I want to use the t8i for school. I'll be taking pictures and doing mini videos/movies and making my own blogs and UA-cam videos do you think i should buy it?
Still trying to decide if I should buy this or the M50 MK II?? It’s my first camera, wanting to do mainly photography, family shoots, maybe some videos. Should I start off with dslr or mirrorless??
Dslr or mirrorless won't make too much of a difference. The m50 would be a great camera for photos! Though you might enjoy a dslr more simply because of the bigger body and shutter noise. Its a different feel
I have the T5i and I’ve been going back and forth with possibly upgrading to the t7i or T8i I would like to get into more professional shooting would you recommend the upgrade or another camera ?
the 18-55mm lens has an 3.5 Fstop. it's based on how much aperture/light it lets in. ive got an eos rebel with the same 18-55mm lens ditched it for a 50mm 1.8 and the 50-270mm and a UW angle lens.
I bought a T7i at the end of 2019, and loved it. Naturally the t8i came out a few months later. Still a good camera for what they are. I ended up moving to the full frame rf system via the rp.
River, I have a Tameron B016 16mm to 300mm and it works. But I have one issue with the T8i and that is the fact that it picks up the internal autofocus/tracking. Is there a way to remedy that?
I'm undecided between the T7i and T8i. They are similar in price on Amazon, therefore, price is no issue. I want to do nature, landscape and portrait photography along with some video. 4K is not really important as HD would be sufficient. Also, the T8i and 850D are the same camera? Any comments would be appreciated.
I just bought the m50 yesterday from Best Buy because it’s on sale for $499 but it feels too small on my hands. Was testing it for about 2 hours and most likely going to exchange it for the t8i.
All depends on what your looking for, the Canon 80D is a more advanced camera with weather sealing, very good camera, some pro photographers use them as a backup camera, uses a digiic 6 processor, released around 2016 and is now discontinued, but can still be found on the second hand market. The canon 850D/t8i is a 2020 entry level DSLR, which doesn't have a weather sealed body, it uses the newer digiic 8 processor. Is 4 years newer then the 80D. But more of an entry level DSLR.
Anyone has some advice? I'm looking to upgrade from my T7 and I'm looking for a DSLR that has Manual Video mode for filmmaking and professional Stop Motion ;production. Is this a good option? Or should I go with the T7i?

Love the review as I was considering this camera but after watching all the way through I'm a little more confused than when I started. I'm a complete beginner so I won't be editing photos or videos anytime soon. I was considering this camera or possibly the 90D (but it's double the price) I don't think I need something as robust as the 90D since I am a beginner and I'm not sure I'll utilize everything. I just need something that takes really great pictures for when I'm traveling (I want to get more into photography) and also possibly for some short videos.
I am a wedding photographer (in the hall and people) and I shoot videos for UA-camrs as well. I intend to open a channel, God willing. I have a Canon 850d, 50mm 1.8 and 24mm 2.8 lenses, and a kit lens 18-55. Would you advise me to update the camera to the 6dmii, or would you advise me to invest in better lenses? Is the 850 possible to get a professional job with me, or does it not mean that I can be a professional photographer with it? And if you advised me to invest in lenses, would you advise me, which lens should I buy? And if you advise me to get a new camera, which is the best option, knowing that I am a student and the budget is not the best thing? I will do associations and so on?😅 And thank you very much for the beautiful videos. I benefited a lot from you ♥️
So couple of things to note. Because you are shooting on such a telephoto / zoom lens your camera will pick up shake a lot more. And every little jitter in your hand wil be noticed. And If the lens is heavy that makes it even harder. So you need to ideally shoot at 3 times your focal length, this is just my own rule. So if you are shooting 70mm try using a shutter speed of 1/200 or so and if you are shooting 200 try /1500. But That shutter speed should fix it. And also if you find the lens wide open is too soft try closing down to f4. Lastly a tripod will help. I really like the ulanzi travel tripod. Hope it helps. If you need more help. Post a new comment instead of replying so i see it.
I need camera recommendations for same or bit more money for video streaming and video capturing camera.. I like canon for its simple software and drivers to setup via obs Please Id like to hear which other options are there for best resolution vs fps vs color vs over price for the bang
Didn’t mention how this camera will accept non-Canon flash units. The hot shoe on the Rebel 7 only works with Canon flash units and that gets pricey when you try to overcome that “issue”
I went from Nikon d5200 to T8i and I like the switch because I do both photography and video but what prime lens do you think are the best and what lens to match the 4K crop sensor to help with our loss... I would’ve paid the $300 difference for 90D but I never shot with one so I wasn’t sure if I was ready but after a review it was too late to get my refund but I plan to buy a 90D or the next generation when I get the chance

When talking about the 1.7x crop in the 4K, you forgot to mention that it already has a 1.6x crop since it’s an aps-c camera. That makes for even more intense cropping.
I don’t consider the apsc a crop. Because I don’t feel full frame is the standard . Most people don’t buy full frame or afford full frame
I don't think the 1.7x crop is 1.7x plus the 1.6x it think when shooting 4k it's just .1x more cropped in
Do you think this is a good camera for shooting game play videos for UA-cam?

The canon 850D/t8i is a 2020 entry level DSLR, which doesn't have a weather sealed body, it uses the newer digiic 8 processor. Is 4 years newer then the 80D. But more of an entry level DSLR.
Love the review as I was considering this camera but after watching all the way through I'm a little more confused than when I started.
I'm a complete beginner so I won't be editing photos or videos anytime soon. I was considering this camera or possibly the 90D (but it's double the price) I don't think I need something as robust as the 90D since I am a beginner and I'm not sure I'll utilize everything.
I just need something that takes really great pictures for when I'm traveling (I want to get more into photography) and also possibly for some short videos.
Any canon camera is great for someone who doesn’t want to spend time editing!
I am a wedding photographer (in the hall and people) and I shoot videos for UA-camrs as well. I intend to open a channel, God willing. I have a Canon 850d, 50mm 1.8 and 24mm 2.8 lenses, and a kit lens 18-55. Would you advise me to update the camera to the 6dmii, or would you advise me to invest in better lenses? Is the 850 possible to get a professional job with me, or does it not mean that I can be a professional photographer with it? And if you advised me to invest in lenses, would you advise me, which lens should I buy? And if you advise me to get a new camera, which is the best option, knowing that I am a student and the budget is not the best thing? I will do associations and so on?😅 And thank you very much for the beautiful videos. I benefited a lot from you ♥️
I really struggle to get sharp clear looking images. And I’m using a Tameron 70-200 2.8.
So couple of things to note.
Because you are shooting on such a telephoto / zoom lens your camera will pick up shake a lot more.
And every little jitter in your hand wil be noticed.
And If the lens is heavy that makes it even harder.
So you need to ideally shoot at 3 times your focal length, this is just my own rule.
So if you are shooting 70mm try using a shutter speed of 1/200 or so and if you are shooting 200 try /1500.
But That shutter speed should fix it. And also if you find the lens wide open is too soft try closing down to f4.
Lastly a tripod will help. I really like the ulanzi travel tripod.
Hope it helps. If you need more help. Post a new comment instead of replying so i see it.
Hey would you recommend a canon m50 or a sony camera?
Where can I purchase the 50mm f 1.8 lense ?
What about the Canon Rebel t6i?
How well does it work with the Dji ronin?
I need camera recommendations for same or bit more money for video streaming and video capturing camera..
I like canon for its simple software and drivers to setup via obs
Please Id like to hear which other options are there for best resolution vs fps vs color vs over price for the bang
Does the in built flash pops up on its own or you have to manually pop it
I have a t7 and it automatically pops up. I assume the t8i being newer would also automatically pop up.
Didn’t mention how this camera will accept non-Canon flash units. The hot shoe on the Rebel 7 only works with Canon flash units and that gets pricey when you try to overcome that “issue”
I went from Nikon d5200 to T8i and I like the switch because I do both photography and video but what prime lens do you think are the best and what lens to match the 4K crop sensor to help with our loss... I would’ve paid the $300 difference for 90D but I never shot with one so I wasn’t sure if I was ready but after a review it was too late to get my refund but I plan to buy a 90D or the next generation when I get the chance
Which lens would be advisable for capturing better candid/portrait photos with T8i
50 mm or 24mm f2.8 aperture
i would 50mm for portraits and 24 for everything else
