    Hi Paul. I only recently got into photography (at 46 years old!!) and after much reading I decided on the Canon 2000d after you reviewed and recommended it... just wanted to say a big thank you for all your you tube videos!! So clear and by far the easiest videos for learning the basics of photography. Thanks and please keep up the videos

    • @photogenius
      @photogenius  3 роки тому +2

    I used to be keen on photography with SLR cameras, but study and life got in the way. Now many years later my family have given me a Nikon DSLR . Your videos are brilliant, helping me to relearn all I had forgotten and guide me in the use of a digital SLR. Your explanations are very clear. Thank you so much!

  • @carltonwells6421
    @carltonwells6421 2 роки тому +1

    Been watching your videos,thank you! I bought the t7/2000D and I’ve never really had a camera. I love all your videos and tutorials mostly because it seems that’s the camera you demonstrate. I have to admit it’s big learning curve and sometimes I have to watch the tutorials over again. It’s been a huge help. Went out to try twice and the second time I was much better

    Thank you so much for your video! I realized how powerful my canon EOS 4000D really is because of you.
    I was having trouble getting my camera to focus on specific subjects. You unveiled a lot of hidden gems I didn’t know about as far as specs on the camera that allow us to zoom in closer to focus on our subject. Had a shoot today with a 50mm lens and the pics were beyond amazing.
    You’re the goat💪🏽
