Wow, you just about covered everything about the Canon T7i! I know you uploaded this video about 2 & a half years ago but your narration was spot on and your demos of videos were excellent, you get an A+! I was concerned about the video/audio quality & you answered my question. Going to seriously consider it! Thank you!
Nice video. Here in 2023 I can say I have a T7i that I use every day as my online merchandise photography camera. I also have the 80D, 77D (a spiffed up T7i), and the SL2 that I have bought for a lot less than new prices; some at ridiculously low prices. I have tried them all, and found that the T7i was the best for my product photography for a few reasons. While all of these have WiFi, I've decided that I don't like that, and would rather just connect the camera with a long USB cord, and have it run Canon EOS Utility, such that every photo I take almost instantly gets saved to a directory in my computer where I want it. All four of these can do it. The SL2 has the connection on the other side of the camera, so it does not interfere with the movement of the tilt screen. Unfortunately the other three are affected. I liked the 80D's "C1" and "C2" settings that allowed me to program in my settings for tripod and handheld photography for easy switching between, but I found I could get it close enough to ideal with Av on the T7i. I shoot both photos and videos of my products, so I want one camera that meets both needs. The 80D will not record in VGA light, which works best for my quick videos that need to be small files. That leaves the best to be T7i, 77D, and SL2. 77D has some nice features that are useful, including a locking mode dial and a thumb control wheel on the back, but they are not of great use in how I use it. It is just as good, but almost too good. The SL2 is so nice and small that it is easy to take on trips, and it is possible to get nicer shots. The T7i came in a junk lot because the flash doesn't work, but I don't use the flash for my product photography, and the camera was effectively free, which makes it nice. I don't care about the lack of the thumb wheel because I just set the aperture at small aperture for good depth of field and leave it there. Unfortunately the newer 18-55mm F/4 STM lens is not good for close focusing, so I use an older 18-55mm F/3.5 STM lens. That works great.

@@Vishal-vf8yb if you want one for both photography and videography then the T7i is great. The SL2 is good for video but the pictures per second are lower and it doesn't have as many focus points. For recording external audio for videos you want the T7i because it'll have a port for plugging one in. The T7 will not have that option so make sure it's the T7i
For beginners its a very good camera. I have a 650D and i can take a good shots using it, usually it depends upon the lens. The dials/wheel is usually not an issue as I have a touch screen so no more menu diving.
went straight to the comments because something didn't feel right. this camera is a the top of my list. i've been watching all sorts of reviews, and my mind was basically made up. I saw this title, and my stomach SUNK! HAHAH
I’ve taken some beautiful pictures with the t7i. I totally love it. I literally take it everywhere. LITERALLY. Depends on your skill. Keep in mind all of you watching when he’s showing you the screen it looks weird cause he’s recording it. I use it totally on Manual. Love it
You can use back button focusing which will cause the camera to lock focus. Also you can lock auto exposure when you have back button focus by half-pressing the shutter button, or by just setting it to manual mode.
Nice camera review. I have some good news for you, there is a focus lock to temporarily stop AF from changing, without using the AF/M switch on the lens. The t7i has an icon on the screen for servo AF. Servo AF is continuous AF. Tap it to momentarily stop continuous AF and tap it again to turn continuous (servo) AF back on. That's the focus lock you are looking for. You can turn it on and off during recording.
The 800D imo justifies the price and size because the 200D lacks allot of features. The 200D has: just 9 (1 cross type) focus points compared to 45 (all cross type); worst AF in low light (-0.5ev compared to -3ev); and for video it lacks digital IS, very useful to have if you're using a lens without IS. I personally hate the size of the 200D and would go for a 800D any time. They're getting cheaper too.
+Jaime Almeida thanks for the feedback! Those are true, but I tested the digital IS and it was useful, but not $200 more useful imo. I didn't use this much for photography, but yeah I agree. Photographers will probably prefer the T7i.
Quick note here, only the center point of the t7i is -3ev, the other points are -.5ev. Still one point is better than none at all. This is also true of the 77D, the 80D, and the 6D mkii, all of which use the same focusing system as the T7i.
And also, depending on the lenses you want, that built in IS can be worth the 200 bucks. But it looks like you are using some of the cheaper lenses, some of which have IS already, so it probably won't matter to you. But for lenses like say, the 70-200mm, the difference of no IS and IS is quite a lot more than 200 bucks (500 for the F4 model, 700 for the F2.8 model). Also, did you have your lens IS on for your test? If so, maybe do the test again with it off.
+billynightmare I can totally understand that take. The T7i is better but I still feel it's pretty slight when using it for video. Pictures is a totally different story. For me personally, I kinda wish I got an SL2 instead for the savings, but can understand someone valuing those features for the upgrade. Thanks for the feedback!
I brought this camera 2-hand last year and my family loves the pictures and video, so much they do not longer take pictures with their cellphones, I just give them the camera and they have fun using it.
+Raymundo Hernandez thanks so much! Hope it was helpful. I used to do much shorter reviewd but this one went so well, I think I'm going to keep doing reviews like this for a while. Just launched another one last night about that new Amazon Fire Tablet 10in. Thanks again for the kind words!

You are one of the few guys that review cameras..know what you are talking about and are charming and funny. I need you in my life! It's time for an upgrade for me...I am so tired of being fuzzy....I have a entry-level Canon DSLR and I do have a hard time with focus....xxoo Susan
The weirdness in the leaves is an effect of two things: 1. Canon DSLR image is usually not very sharp. Its been argued that these cameras actually shoot sub 1080 because of how soft the video quality is. I've used BMPCC and own a C100, both are 1080 but produce more detail. 2. In camera sharpening. Unless you adjust the picture profile, the camera will try to sharpen the image, that is to say it will look for tiny contrasty areas and add more contrast. Leaves on trees are a perfect example. They're small and the background is a bright sky. Therefore the camera processor will see the contrast between the darker leaf and bright sky and boost the contrast. (note the abundance of black areas on the leaves and very thin white trim around the trees -- thats the contrast). The solution is the custom "Prolost" picture profile. Go to custom picture profile > use Neutral > turn contrast all the way down, sharpness to 0 and saturation down a little bit. This will give you softer looking video but less of that gross sharpening. It doesn't look awful unsharpened, but sharpening it in your editing software will get that sharpness back and with less grossness (it just does it better). Hope that helps! Great video!
Yes it will! Like I said it will look softer until you sharpen in Premier or FPCX. If you don't have one of those, maybe keep the sharpening to 1 to give a little crispness without post work... btw your channel is a search for me hahahah
UnratedAwesomeness which camera should I get as a first timer to use to record content for youtube? You sound knowledgeable, thx. ( I want slow motion and time lapse)
Kilo Alfa The M50 is fantastic for video but for stills,I returned mine. I thought it was just me but I don’t really know anyone that gets pro level stills even when using L lenses or Viltrox Speedboosters. I wanted to love it but... I was constantly disappointed.
Wouldn't some of the stabilization features come at a price of reduced resolution, for either photos or videos? If the resolution is the "same", would that not be due to interpolation? As nice as those features are, seems like they could otherwise just be accommodated in post-processing, which would also mean saving battery life. Anyway, great review. The T7i seems nice but I'm not too sure I'd really benefit from spending the extra money on features that I'm not so sure I'd take advantage of.
@@TheSearchForAwesome Thanks a lot for the clarification. Since there is in fact some quality loss, I think I'd rather spare some battery life during my recording (due to image processing) and if I feel stabilization is necessary, I'll add it when editing the video instead. Though, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 3x digital zoom have the same level of quality as a 3x optical zoom (assuming we're talking a 1080p video recording) if the digital zoom uses more of the sensor?
Thanks for your review. After my T4i was stolen last month, I am in the market for a new camera. You helped make my decision easier. I am heading out to buy the T7i
WOW okay this channel is amazing! You give clear advice, show the cons and pros of a product, and your voice is nice to listen to. I cant wait to see you get bigger :)
great video! im looking at getting the T7i or the sl2 and i cant decide bc i like photography and videography about the same and the sl2 is cheaper but not great for photography and this one looks decent at both
For photos, I really couldn't tell you. But my less informed opinion is the T7i might be a better option if you want to save money on lens. I know Sony lens are pretty pricey
+MM Iliyas if you're buying for video, I think the sl2 is a better deal, but if photography you might want to do the T7i for more AF points and higher fps options when taking a burst of pics. Although I don't think you can use a camera outside of your phone for vines? I assume you're talking about when vine 2 comes out?
The Search For Awesome thanks for reply, i want to film street magic, so will sl2 be enough(9 af point)?, or do i need camera like 77D,(45af point)?.. I m confuse, please help me... Ps-my budget is tight
I have had my t7i for about 5 years now. Still love it. Debated about getting a mirrorless canon but think I’ll keep the t7i. Any thoughts about t7i vs mirrorless canon.
Good question. Of those, I'd do the 800d. Flip out screen is nice for videos and photos and video should be identical to the 77d. Also Canon has some good cost effective lens whereas Sony's are pretty pricey
I see them as basically the same. 77d is supposed to be better in some ways for photography - maybe has a few extra features here and there but image quality should be the same as 800d
Picked up an SL2 with the 10-18, kit 18-55, 55-250 (all certified refurbished), macro 35 2.8, and Yongnuo 50 1.8. I have a huge range of lenses now from 16-400 35mm equivalent, with extra primes for great low-ish light use. All this for the price of a higher end APS-C body. Super happy with it for stills and video. If Parker Walbeck can shoot cinematic footage with it using non-pro accessories, anyone can with practice. I've been playing with ProLost and Cinestyle profiles, but either way, soft or not, it's good enough for most people. I feel like I'll get a LOT of use out of this setup. Budget lights, tripod, sliders, etc. can be bought with the extra money saved on the body, so having spent a good amount of money to cover every single base one could need, I can focus on getting better.
the 9 vs 45 focus points and speed of focus while taking stills is enough reason to choose the t7i,,, honestly it feels like it takes forever to properly focus, after switching to the t7i I was able to spend more time shooting than trying to figure out the camera auto focus.
I don't remember off hand, but if it was a mic I typically attach a deadcat or foam which is to help with sound. It can block wind or moving air noise.
The Canon t7i is awesome. I'm glad it's plastic. I use my Astro modified t7i for astrophotography and being lightweight plastic is perfect for attaching to a telescope. It reduces the weight on the telescope focuser.
I think it would be great personally. It does a great job on its own and as you learn more about it, you can start using more manual settings if you'd like to
I'm having so much trouble figuring out what camera I want to start with! I want to take video, but also good still photographs too. I thought I finally decided and was gonna be good with this one, but maybe not. IDK!
For a beginner mainly interested in photography, would you recommend the nikon d5500 or d5600 or canon t7i or SL2? Which would be the best bang for the buck?
I've never used a Nikon camera, but honestly any of those sound like a great start. I'd recommend the SL2 and maybe get a nice lens like the 50mm 1.8. that is really nice for bokeh shots
If you're going to use single focus point photography anyway, wouldn't the SL2 be the better option? How do they differ in terms of overall image quality?
I don't completely understand photography autofocus to be honest, but I don't think it would be better with less points. Should be comparable though and yeah image quality should be identical
Either camera can get good quality images. Most of any good quality image begins with the person using the camera. Want to become even better taking photos. Practice, practice, practice will help get you there. Get out and take lots of photos and with time you will get better and better photos.
Im going to buy this (or Canon 70D)camera as my first. I've used a Nikon when I was in high school (i dont remember the kind) and loved it but the camera didn't have the image quality i was looking for. My lenses I was thinking about buying are the Canon EF 70-200mm (599.00 on amazon), Sigma 24-70mm (659.99), and Sigma 18-35mm (639.00) for beginner lenses (to slowly buy each lens as im only part time at the moment). I wanna capture people, portraits, landscapes and videos for fun. Would you suggest these lenses for the T7i and/or 70D? thank you for reading >w
You'll probably be happy with either. The 70d is larger though. When I did my research while back the t7i had the same sensor as the 80d. In terms of lens if you're on a budget and want to do portraits the 50mm 1.8 is around $100 and it's awesome. I've heard good things about the sigma18-35mm and that's a decent range. That's what I'd want for what I do. I'd say you don't need a lens for every focal range unless you need to shoot vlogs and things far away like a football game and you want images right in the action from the sidelines. Figure out what you want to shoot and then get a lens/lenses that will do great for that. Sometimes the less gear you have the better. Too much gear can be really frustrating when you are trying to get your shoot done.
T7i seems like a sweetspot, but to be honest, unless you aim for hardcore video production, if you are just starting with Photo, should better aim for a used body, T5i seems like a starting camera that could provide with 18mpx (trust me, you can aim really high on detail with 18mpx) articulated screen, autofocus for video but yet a much simpler 9 cross point AF system. And that can be purchased with less than 20.000 shots (10% usage) for even less than any brand new DLSR
Personally I'm not a huge fan of electronic stabilization. It does work well on this camera from what I remember, but it's at the sacrifice of some image quality. Not much but some. It's been a while since I used this camera, but I think you'll like it. Great image quality!
Video was awesome. Sound quality is great! Very entertaining. Title got me though, seems like people should buy the T7i. LOL... Nice work on grabbing people in on that. Video makes me miss my 77D a little. The digital stabilization does work great for handheld video! I believe the SL2 has less focal points for it's AF then the T7i also... Big like!
+Fun With The Bugs hey thanks so much! The T7i is a great camera, but I think for most people the SL2 would be a better choice because of price and form factor. But yeah those AF points might make a difference for some and the stabilization is nice. What do you use now?
The Search For Awesome Yeah, 45 vs. 9 AF points is a pretty big difference. I personally don't the the price difference is worth going with the SL2 unless the T7i is totally out of budget. Digital stabilization, while it does crop a little and I think takes a little hit on quality, for a non stabilized lens it is so worth it over watching someone's camera shake. I am currently using the Sony a6300. I wanted 4K because I like to crop shots in our videos and having the ability to do so and still keep the picture at full HD is a big advantage. Well, to me that's the only advantage. I always render in 1080p, so I am not interested in the actual 4K resolution. If these new lines of cameras by Canon had 4K and under $1,000 there is no doubt I would look no further the Canon and if someone doesn't need 4K which a lot of poeple really don't, I usually recommend they look at Canon. They are awesome work horses and very reliable!
+Fun With The Bugs agreed, I wish Canon would do that! On the AF points, I heard that was only relevant to pictures taken through the viewfinder - it uses the same dual pixel af for video, correct me if I'm wrong there. I've been considering a a6500 for the channel recently for the 4k support and good AF. Glad to hear the a6300 is working well for you!
+KING K4L personally I think the SL2 is a better deal, that's what I would have done had I known it was coming. Get T7i if the extra af points mean a lot to you or if the digital stabilization will come in handy for what you do. The extra af point will help with photos taken through the viewfinder
+Please give us a Name every camera has it's to8 and weaknesses. Its about deciding what you value most. I switched from the T7i because I realized autofocus really mattered to me after the G7 failed me a couple of times. Here's how they stack up IMO. G7 has 4k which is nice, audio is better with attached mic and low is fine with a decent lens. T7i has better low light, audio is fine, but not as good. Color is better on T7i imo, but that's subjective. Let me know if this helps.
+Boozed Noggin thanks for the feedback. I've used the G7 for months and I loved it, but it's main problem is the autofocus is just unreliable. That's was my main reason for looking at Canon - dual pixel autofocus is almost perfect. I do prefer the color of Canon as well but that wasn't my reason for switching. If panasonic figured out their autofocusing issues, I'd be back in a heartbeat.
The Search For Awesome i am a canon fanboy i own a rebel t3i for the price rebels are awesome but i also only shoot in manual focus so the g7 was perfect, and once you get used to manual focus you will never go back to auto
I realize that this is an old video, but was wondering about the distortion when in video mode. As the camera moves from side to side from camera shake, as small as it is, there seems to be some distortion, almost wavy image, on the edges. Seems a bit wierd 5:18 I dont know how to put a link in this text.
Really well done video, and I enjoy your humor style. I bought the Rebel t7i last year and love it, but I'm just learning (always used a cell phone cam before...), and haven't yet even started playing with the video side of the camera. This gives me some things to think about!
Thanks for the great video! Do you think the image stabilization for videos in the t7i would make it worth it over the SL2? Would like to have smooth video while vlogging. Thanks!!
A little but digital stabilization isn't magic, if you're camera isn't at least a little steady it can only help so much. I think you'd be fine with the SL2 honestly. Hope that helps!
i still don't understand why Canon feels the need to call this the "rebel" series in the US and something else in the rest of the world. What are they trying to accomplish?
I'm sure it's a branding thing. They probably did some research and determined that in other cultures "Rebel" has negative connotations that would impact sales. Sort of why the Chevy Nova had horrible sales in Central and South America: "no va" in Spanish means "it doesn't work" or "it doesn't run". Not exactly what you want to buy a car for.
The SL2 SD card location is a deal breaker for me. You have to open the battery door to get to the card, which means you'll have to take it off the tripod... Not worth the hassle and messing up your tripod placement.
The Search For Awesome I have the T6i and the T7i. The alternate batteries I have are not the same as yours but always give me that prompt on T6i but not on the T7i which is odd because the batteries are compatible with both cameras.
Good to know! So I would guess Canon removed that warning on the T7i then. From what I understand Canon had in the past programed their camera to sense if batteries weren't made by Canon and if so they would give that prompt.
@@kyrelterrhaun Hey! I'm from Argentina and I've recently bought a battery grip and alternate non-canon LP-17 batteries. Can you tell me your experience with non-canon batteries and T7i body? The price difference is beast! It does that good or totally non-canon unfriendly?
i want to buy a camera for school (ceremonies, sports day, special occasions) AND Instagram too. im still a beginner with dslr, so in your opinion, which one do you think would be better for me, the SL2 or T7i?
I just upgraded to the t7i from an old t3i. I waited and waited holding off because of the lack of support for a battery grip but I finally caved in and got the t7i. I am using batteries from wassabi and they seem to work very well I don't get non Canon battery error, but, if I use two batteries in the battery grip I get the error message and if I agree to use these batteries at my own risk the battery charge display does not work. But it will work with one battery in the grip which I guess I'm going to have to live with because I like the feel of a grip on my camera.
Great video! Quick question, what settings did you use to capture the video footage? Its beautiful and I cant seem to get my T7i to look like it. Thanks!
I am still struggling to decide which one to buy! Here in Switzerland they have the same price but they give you the canon 50mm with the 200d for free. I would use the camera mainly for photos and astrophotography (already have another canon lens for this)...
@@TheSearchForAwesome Thank you! I just got to the part of the video where you show an example! IM looking to upgrade my Cannon to allow auto focu in vid mode for my YT channel :)
+Jaxolotl For video it uses the Dual Pixel system from what I understand. You might have to be a little more patient when looking through the viewfinder.

This is the first video on YT where the clickbait was entertaining, and informative and i wasnt annoyed that i got clickbaited lol
You can use back button focusing which will cause the camera to lock focus. Also you can lock auto exposure when you have back button focus by half-pressing the shutter button, or by just setting it to manual mode.

It's too expensive for my budget right now but I've been saving for the t3i I should be able to get in a couple months! Hope it good 😭
T3i is still a good camera :)
i just got a 550d
Yolanda Reyes check out marketplace. I got my t3i for $220 but I’ve saw them cheaper since then on there.
Check offerup
Nice camera review. I have some good news for you, there is a focus lock to temporarily stop AF from changing, without using the AF/M switch on the lens. The t7i has an icon on the screen for servo AF. Servo AF is continuous AF. Tap it to momentarily stop continuous AF and tap it again to turn continuous (servo) AF back on. That's the focus lock you are looking for. You can turn it on and off during recording.
Oh nice! How did I miss that? Thanks so much!
Bro, I realize that this is an old video so are u still recommend this camera? Because I am thinking of buying it ???
Yeah it's a good camera :)
@@TheSearchForAwesome thanks bro
@@TheSearchForAwesome lol asking the same thing thanks!
Same! I’m a freelance model and I wanna start shooting some of my own content! Thanks for this review
The 800D imo justifies the price and size because the 200D lacks allot of features. The 200D has: just 9 (1 cross type) focus points compared to 45 (all cross type); worst AF in low light (-0.5ev compared to -3ev); and for video it lacks digital IS, very useful to have if you're using a lens without IS. I personally hate the size of the 200D and would go for a 800D any time. They're getting cheaper too.
+Jaime Almeida thanks for the feedback! Those are true, but I tested the digital IS and it was useful, but not $200 more useful imo. I didn't use this much for photography, but yeah I agree. Photographers will probably prefer the T7i.
Quick note here, only the center point of the t7i is -3ev, the other points are -.5ev. Still one point is better than none at all. This is also true of the 77D, the 80D, and the 6D mkii, all of which use the same focusing system as the T7i.
And also, depending on the lenses you want, that built in IS can be worth the 200 bucks. But it looks like you are using some of the cheaper lenses, some of which have IS already, so it probably won't matter to you. But for lenses like say, the 70-200mm, the difference of no IS and IS is quite a lot more than 200 bucks (500 for the F4 model, 700 for the F2.8 model). Also, did you have your lens IS on for your test? If so, maybe do the test again with it off.
I totally agree with what Jamie said.
+billynightmare I can totally understand that take. The T7i is better but I still feel it's pretty slight when using it for video. Pictures is a totally different story. For me personally, I kinda wish I got an SL2 instead for the savings, but can understand someone valuing those features for the upgrade.
Thanks for the feedback!

+C Williams good eye! Yes it was. I live in the ATL area. The whale playing with the towel was so funny.

Getting tired of these 20 min long videos that drag on an argument for too long and take forever to come to the actual point.
Then good you came to this well done video
I brought this camera 2-hand last year and my family loves the pictures and video, so much they do not longer take pictures with their cellphones, I just give them the camera and they have fun using it.
"I don't need my lenses to survive a nuclear blast" Favorite part of the video xD
+Raymundo Hernandez lol thanks! I wondered if that slipped by people :)
Very extensive review of the T7i, awesome video
+Raymundo Hernandez thanks so much! Hope it was helpful. I used to do much shorter reviewd but this one went so well, I think I'm going to keep doing reviews like this for a while. Just launched another one last night about that new Amazon Fire Tablet 10in.
Thanks again for the kind words!
Hey, I'm a beginner and I want camera for both photography and videography.
I'm confused between SL2 and t7i. I'm considering sl 2 and then buying better lenses.
Suggest me some good stuff.
You’re one of the only “review” people on UA-cam that I enjoy! Surprised you don’t have more subscribers. Thank you for this!
Wow, seriously thanks so much! There alot of great ones, but that means a lot. 😀
Thanks your video just made me look at other options. I have found that Canon cameras don't like a splash of water.
look who I found here 😳
You are one of the few guys that review cameras..know what you are talking about and are charming and funny. I need you in my life! It's time for an upgrade for me...I am so tired of being fuzzy....I have a entry-level Canon DSLR and I do have a hard time with focus....xxoo Susan
I went straight to the comments to see who else just bought the t7i lol
I did and love it.
I was hoping for him to explain what aperture and shutter speed are. I can never get enough of that
Which one do you think would be better for product photography?
This is my first DSLR and I absolutely love it. I only take pictures of my family and landscape. Haven't had any trouble so far.
Nice! It's a great camera :)
At 10:06 is that with the 50 mm lense?
This video is exactly what I was looking for in a review, pretty simple, super helpful!
Is the sale better than that one in terms of build quality?
as informative as it is hilarious, this is the best review on the t7i ive watched till date!! thanks man!
For the money, what would you prefer to get instead? Thank you
The weirdness in the leaves is an effect of two things:
1. Canon DSLR image is usually not very sharp. Its been argued that these cameras actually shoot sub 1080 because of how soft the video quality is. I've used BMPCC and own a C100, both are 1080 but produce more detail.
2. In camera sharpening. Unless you adjust the picture profile, the camera will try to sharpen the image, that is to say it will look for tiny contrasty areas and add more contrast. Leaves on trees are a perfect example. They're small and the background is a bright sky. Therefore the camera processor will see the contrast between the darker leaf and bright sky and boost the contrast. (note the abundance of black areas on the leaves and very thin white trim around the trees -- thats the contrast).
The solution is the custom "Prolost" picture profile. Go to custom picture profile > use Neutral > turn contrast all the way down, sharpness to 0 and saturation down a little bit. This will give you softer looking video but less of that gross sharpening. It doesn't look awful unsharpened, but sharpening it in your editing software will get that sharpness back and with less grossness (it just does it better). Hope that helps! Great video!
+UnratedAwesomeness thanks for sharing! So if I reduce sharpness, it will help?
Yes it will! Like I said it will look softer until you sharpen in Premier or FPCX. If you don't have one of those, maybe keep the sharpening to 1 to give a little crispness without post work...
btw your channel is a search for me hahahah
+UnratedAwesomeness oh nice. Yeah I use final cut. I'll give a go when I see some softer shots
+The Search For Awesome lol nice! I will find you someday! :)
UnratedAwesomeness which camera should I get as a first timer to use to record content for youtube? You sound knowledgeable, thx. ( I want slow motion and time lapse)
Amigo I just loved your video, haha the voice over was really good. I felt like I was in a TV series. I'm definitely buying the t7i
1 year with this bad boy... I'm lovin' it
I use a modded one for astro, and to me it has the best selection of menus, settings and flexibility...I love it.
Hey! I'm watching this in 2019, can you please recommend a camera in the same price range or shall I still go with T7i??
Nidish Vashistha T7i I bought it
It’s really good
Canon M50 any day
I just bought it today! Still a fantastic camera on the market. $800 on sale in Canada with a 22-55mm kit lens included (reg $1100). Good luck!
Kilo Alfa The M50 is fantastic for video but for stills,I returned mine. I thought it was just me but I don’t really know anyone that gets pro level stills even when using L lenses or Viltrox Speedboosters. I wanted to love it but... I was constantly disappointed.
Bought mine on sale at Best Buy for $800. It included a camera bag, 32GB SD, 2 lenses and a $25 shutterfly code. Love it
Just part time. Selling prints
Wouldn't some of the stabilization features come at a price of reduced resolution, for either photos or videos? If the resolution is the "same", would that not be due to interpolation? As nice as those features are, seems like they could otherwise just be accommodated in post-processing, which would also mean saving battery life.
Anyway, great review. The T7i seems nice but I'm not too sure I'd really benefit from spending the extra money on features that I'm not so sure I'd take advantage of.
Yes you do lose some quality the more you digitally zoom or add stabilization. Not too much though if you need the stabilization in certain scenarios
@@TheSearchForAwesome Thanks a lot for the clarification. Since there is in fact some quality loss, I think I'd rather spare some battery life during my recording (due to image processing) and if I feel stabilization is necessary, I'll add it when editing the video instead.
Though, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 3x digital zoom have the same level of quality as a 3x optical zoom (assuming we're talking a 1080p video recording) if the digital zoom uses more of the sensor?
This camera does not have stabilization. That's a function Of the lens, if it has it.
8:05 I have a canon t3i and been using off brand batteries and have NEVER had this issue
Thanks for your review. After my T4i was stolen last month, I am in the market for a new camera. You helped make my decision easier. I am heading out to buy the T7i
Awesome! I hope you love it!
WOW okay this channel is amazing! You give clear advice, show the cons and pros of a product, and your voice is nice to listen to. I cant wait to see you get bigger :)
I just got 2 batteries from a third party seller on amazon. Bought it used for $9. It worked better than the canon battery lmaooo.
What battery was it ?
great video! im looking at getting the T7i or the sl2 and i cant decide bc i like photography and videography about the same and the sl2 is cheaper but not great for photography and this one looks decent at both
also the fottage looked kinda shaky from the T7i is there no stabilizer?
SamSD11 I have the same questions! Pls someone answer our questions lol
SamSD11 there is. Use IS STM lens for stabilizer video.
@@tavisprik4562 T7I is not great for Video. It's primarily a still photo camera beast.
This or a6000 or 6300 for taking aesthetics pictures... Streets, cars, indoors, female models? Thanks in advance! :)
For photos, I really couldn't tell you. But my less informed opinion is the T7i might be a better option if you want to save money on lens. I know Sony lens are pretty pricey
Ok I see, how about Canon 80D or Canon EOS 7D Mark II compared T7i? :)
@@FLawLesSTaStE 80d and 7d mark II are both not in the same price bracket at all
Apparently the batteries you mentioned are out of stock and may not be available again.
Which one is better sl2 or t7i for youtube and funny vines
+MM Iliyas if you're buying for video, I think the sl2 is a better deal, but if photography you might want to do the T7i for more AF points and higher fps options when taking a burst of pics.
Although I don't think you can use a camera outside of your phone for vines? I assume you're talking about when vine 2 comes out?
The Search For Awesome thanks for reply, i want to film street magic, so will sl2 be enough(9 af point)?, or do i need camera like 77D,(45af point)?.. I m confuse, please help me...
Ps-my budget is tight
The Search For Awesome i need some tips..?
+MM Iliyas what would you like to know?
The Search For Awesome which camera to use for outdoor shooting(like prank, magic) .. Dslr or mirrorless? If dslr which model 200d or 77d?
Which is better for photograhy nikon d5600 or canon t7i?
I have had my t7i for about 5 years now. Still love it. Debated about getting a mirrorless canon but think I’ll keep the t7i. Any thoughts about t7i vs mirrorless canon.
Wich is best for videography nd photography ????800d or 77d or sony a6300 waiting for rply
Good question. Of those, I'd do the 800d. Flip out screen is nice for videos and photos and video should be identical to the 77d. Also Canon has some good cost effective lens whereas Sony's are pretty pricey
So tell me wich is best between 800d nd 77d????
I see them as basically the same. 77d is supposed to be better in some ways for photography - maybe has a few extra features here and there but image quality should be the same as 800d
Picked up an SL2 with the 10-18, kit 18-55, 55-250 (all certified refurbished), macro 35 2.8, and Yongnuo 50 1.8. I have a huge range of lenses now from 16-400 35mm equivalent, with extra primes for great low-ish light use. All this for the price of a higher end APS-C body. Super happy with it for stills and video. If Parker Walbeck can shoot cinematic footage with it using non-pro accessories, anyone can with practice. I've been playing with ProLost and Cinestyle profiles, but either way, soft or not, it's good enough for most people. I feel like I'll get a LOT of use out of this setup. Budget lights, tripod, sliders, etc. can be bought with the extra money saved on the body, so having spent a good amount of money to cover every single base one could need, I can focus on getting better.
Dang sick kit! Yes you can definitely get some nice footage out of that gear! Let me know when you make something with it. I'll check it out
For sure! Thanks for the reply. Gladly subbing now!
the 9 vs 45 focus points and speed of focus while taking stills is enough reason to choose the t7i,,, honestly it feels like it takes forever to properly focus, after switching to the t7i I was able to spend more time shooting than trying to figure out the camera auto focus.
how come at 17:08 you had a gray puffy ball above the camera? what's the purpose of that?
I don't remember off hand, but if it was a mic I typically attach a deadcat or foam which is to help with sound. It can block wind or moving air noise.
The Canon t7i is awesome. I'm glad it's plastic. I use my Astro modified t7i for astrophotography and being lightweight plastic is perfect for attaching to a telescope. It reduces the weight on the telescope focuser.
Is this a good starting off camera? Like just for a hobby ??
I think it would be great personally. It does a great job on its own and as you learn more about it, you can start using more manual settings if you'd like to
The Search For Awesome Thank you !!
The t7i has a time-lapse mode which is pretty cool. If you want to do panorama's you could Stitch them in a million programs/ software.
I'm having so much trouble figuring out what camera I want to start with! I want to take video, but also good still photographs too. I thought I finally decided and was gonna be good with this one, but maybe not. IDK!
I do really want a Canon. But don't think I can afford the 4K ones I want.
For a beginner mainly interested in photography, would you recommend the nikon d5500 or d5600 or canon t7i or SL2? Which would be the best bang for the buck?
I've never used a Nikon camera, but honestly any of those sound like a great start. I'd recommend the SL2 and maybe get a nice lens like the 50mm 1.8. that is really nice for bokeh shots
As I understand, the weight of the SL2 and the T7i are about the same?
Thanks for the more video review side of this camera! Great content and your channel deserves more subs and views!
LOVE THE VIDEO!! HOPE YOU GET 1 MILLION SUBS SOON!!
+SLEEPLEZZ LINKZ hey thanks so much! I hope so too :)
If you're going to use single focus point photography anyway, wouldn't the SL2 be the better option? How do they differ in terms of overall image quality?
I don't completely understand photography autofocus to be honest, but I don't think it would be better with less points. Should be comparable though and yeah image quality should be identical
Thanks!
Either camera can get good quality images. Most of any good quality image begins with the person using the camera. Want to become even better taking photos. Practice, practice, practice will help get you there. Get out and take lots of photos and with time you will get better and better photos.
Im going to buy this (or Canon 70D)camera as my first. I've used a Nikon when I was in high school (i dont remember the kind) and loved it but the camera didn't have the image quality i was looking for. My lenses I was thinking about buying are the Canon EF 70-200mm (599.00 on amazon), Sigma 24-70mm (659.99), and Sigma 18-35mm (639.00) for beginner lenses (to slowly buy each lens as im only part time at the moment). I wanna capture people, portraits, landscapes and videos for fun. Would you suggest these lenses for the T7i and/or 70D?
thank you for reading >w
You'll probably be happy with either. The 70d is larger though. When I did my research while back the t7i had the same sensor as the 80d. In terms of lens if you're on a budget and want to do portraits the 50mm 1.8 is around $100 and it's awesome. I've heard good things about the sigma18-35mm and that's a decent range. That's what I'd want for what I do.
I'd say you don't need a lens for every focal range unless you need to shoot vlogs and things far away like a football game and you want images right in the action from the sidelines. Figure out what you want to shoot and then get a lens/lenses that will do great for that. Sometimes the less gear you have the better. Too much gear can be really frustrating when you are trying to get your shoot done.
The Canon 18-135mm ( 28.8-216mm ) STM lens is a fabulous lens.
@@machia0705 - I can vouch for that. It is the lens I use mostly. It is a great all around lens.
Im new to photography and have been trying to decide between a T7i, SL2, and 77D :( I never thought picking a camera would be so hard !
T7i seems like a sweetspot, but to be honest, unless you aim for hardcore video production, if you are just starting with Photo, should better aim for a used body, T5i seems like a starting camera that could provide with 18mpx (trust me, you can aim really high on detail with 18mpx) articulated screen, autofocus for video but yet a much simpler 9 cross point AF system. And that can be purchased with less than 20.000 shots (10% usage) for even less than any brand new DLSR
I was curious did you turn off stabilization? lots of the footage here is pretty shaky!! I'm worried as I've just purchased this!!
Personally I'm not a huge fan of electronic stabilization. It does work well on this camera from what I remember, but it's at the sacrifice of some image quality. Not much but some. It's been a while since I used this camera, but I think you'll like it. Great image quality!
@@TheSearchForAwesome ok, great thanks for the info!!!
Can I buy 18-55mm lens pack ??? Worth it ????
You just gain yourself a new fan!
Holy crap this video made me figure out my new t7i 😍 love it !!! Thank u thank u
Video was awesome. Sound quality is great! Very entertaining. Title got me though, seems like people should buy the T7i. LOL... Nice work on grabbing people in on that.
Video makes me miss my 77D a little. The digital stabilization does work great for handheld video!
I believe the SL2 has less focal points for it's AF then the T7i also...
Big like!
+Fun With The Bugs hey thanks so much! The T7i is a great camera, but I think for most people the SL2 would be a better choice because of price and form factor. But yeah those AF points might make a difference for some and the stabilization is nice. What do you use now?
The Search For Awesome Yeah, 45 vs. 9 AF points is a pretty big difference. I personally don't the the price difference is worth going with the SL2 unless the T7i is totally out of budget.
Digital stabilization, while it does crop a little and I think takes a little hit on quality, for a non stabilized lens it is so worth it over watching someone's camera shake.
I am currently using the Sony a6300. I wanted 4K because I like to crop shots in our videos and having the ability to do so and still keep the picture at full HD is a big advantage. Well, to me that's the only advantage. I always render in 1080p, so I am not interested in the actual 4K resolution.
If these new lines of cameras by Canon had 4K and under $1,000 there is no doubt I would look no further the Canon and if someone doesn't need 4K which a lot of poeple really don't, I usually recommend they look at Canon. They are awesome work horses and very reliable!
+Fun With The Bugs agreed, I wish Canon would do that! On the AF points, I heard that was only relevant to pictures taken through the viewfinder - it uses the same dual pixel af for video, correct me if I'm wrong there.
I've been considering a a6500 for the channel recently for the 4k support and good AF. Glad to hear the a6300 is working well for you!
The Search For Awesome Definitely will have an impact on photos. Not sure of the impact on video would matter.
IM SO GLAD I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO! I’m trying to decide between these two cameras but am not sure. Should I buy the Sl2
+KING K4L personally I think the SL2 is a better deal, that's what I would have done had I known it was coming. Get T7i if the extra af points mean a lot to you or if the digital stabilization will come in handy for what you do. The extra af point will help with photos taken through the viewfinder
Hello. You still haven't figured out a way to get audio levels to show on screen?
So what would you recommend for video g7 or t7i . Note I only care about low light and audio also the colour
+Please give us a Name every camera has it's to8 and weaknesses. Its about deciding what you value most. I switched from the T7i because I realized autofocus really mattered to me after the G7 failed me a couple of times. Here's how they stack up IMO. G7 has 4k which is nice, audio is better with attached mic and low is fine with a decent lens. T7i has better low light, audio is fine, but not as good. Color is better on T7i imo, but that's subjective. Let me know if this helps.
thanks
go with the lumix g7 it will def outbeat the rebel line
+Boozed Noggin thanks for the feedback. I've used the G7 for months and I loved it, but it's main problem is the autofocus is just unreliable. That's was my main reason for looking at Canon - dual pixel autofocus is almost perfect. I do prefer the color of Canon as well but that wasn't my reason for switching. If panasonic figured out their autofocusing issues, I'd be back in a heartbeat.
The Search For Awesome i am a canon fanboy i own a rebel t3i for the price rebels are awesome but i also only shoot in manual focus so the g7 was perfect, and once you get used to manual focus you will never go back to auto
What if I bought a T7 should I get the T7i for the auto focus feature specifically???
I'm still using my T2i.. what does that say about me? it lacks autofocus during video and when I do focus, it's LOUD but I still like it.
The reasons you gave for moving from Panasonic to Canon are exactly the same as mine...the autofocus!
+vegasrenie yeah its really bad!
I realize that this is an old video, but was wondering about the distortion when in video mode. As the camera moves from side to side from camera shake, as small as it is, there seems to be some distortion, almost wavy image, on the edges. Seems a bit wierd 5:18 I dont know how to put a link in this text.
The stabilization is digital so my best guess is that's what's at fault. You can disable it
Really well done video, and I enjoy your humor style. I bought the Rebel t7i last year and love it, but I'm just learning (always used a cell phone cam before...), and haven't yet even started playing with the video side of the camera. This gives me some things to think about!
+Nefrai Laysh hey thanks! Glad you like it! Yeah there is alot to like about this camera!
Thanks for the great video! Do you think the image stabilization for videos in the t7i would make it worth it over the SL2? Would like to have smooth video while vlogging. Thanks!!
A little but digital stabilization isn't magic, if you're camera isn't at least a little steady it can only help so much. I think you'd be fine with the SL2 honestly. Hope that helps!
Thanks bro much appreciated! :)
You do realize the stabilization is from the camera lens that is attached. Use a image stabilized lens
i still don't understand why Canon feels the need to call this the "rebel" series in the US and something else in the rest of the world. What are they trying to accomplish?
+PoCanDo _ no idea, but maybe they understand the international audience to know that branding won't fly. Just a guess, no idea!
I'm sure it's a branding thing. They probably did some research and determined that in other cultures "Rebel" has negative connotations that would impact sales. Sort of why the Chevy Nova had horrible sales in Central and South America: "no va" in Spanish means "it doesn't work" or "it doesn't run". Not exactly what you want to buy a car for.
+the DM Lair that makes alot of sense! Thanks!
Love your shots from “the narrows!” A must visit place to put on any bucket list.
The SL2 SD card location is a deal breaker for me. You have to open the battery door to get to the card, which means you'll have to take it off the tripod... Not worth the hassle and messing up your tripod placement.
+FryVision I did not know that! Thanks for the info. That would be annoying. I've run into that with my G7
This is exactly one of many reasons I'm getting the T7i to replace my T5!
Is that lighthouse in Solomons Island?
So wait you don't like cannon t7i or you do?
The Non-Canon Battery warning does pop up every time. If you don’t acknowledge it warning you won’t be able to use the camera.
I did not run into it on my T7i with the batteries I had. Do you have the same batteries and the T7i?
The Search For Awesome I have the T6i and the T7i. The alternate batteries I have are not the same as yours but always give me that prompt on T6i but not on the T7i which is odd because the batteries are compatible with both cameras.
Good to know! So I would guess Canon removed that warning on the T7i then. From what I understand Canon had in the past programed their camera to sense if batteries weren't made by Canon and if so they would give that prompt.
The Search For Awesome They must have. The only indication that the battery is different is the 🔋 icon changes when using a non-Canon battery.
@@kyrelterrhaun Hey! I'm from Argentina and I've recently bought a battery grip and alternate non-canon LP-17 batteries. Can you tell me your experience with non-canon batteries and T7i body? The price difference is beast! It does that good or totally non-canon unfriendly?
People if your going to buy a cheap entry level canon just dont, buy an old pro camera, one that will be built well and take good pictures forever
INFINITY SKATE MEDIA 5d MK1 and 2 is a great option.
i want to buy a camera for school (ceremonies, sports day, special occasions) AND Instagram too. im still a beginner with dslr, so in your opinion, which one do you think would be better for me, the SL2 or T7i?
I think either would be fine. T7i would be slightly better for photos.
Is T7i and 800D are the same?
I just upgraded to the t7i from an old t3i. I waited and waited holding off because of the lack of support for a battery grip but I finally caved in and got the t7i. I am using batteries from wassabi and they seem to work very well I don't get non Canon battery error, but, if I use two batteries in the battery grip I get the error message and if I agree to use these batteries at my own risk the battery charge display does not work. But it will work with one battery in the grip which I guess I'm going to have to live with because I like the feel of a grip on my camera.
Awesome! Happy to here they work. Let me know how you like the camera
Great video! Quick question, what settings did you use to capture the video footage? Its beautiful and I cant seem to get my T7i to look like it. Thanks!
+ElleAtThe Essex I try to set the aperture as low as it will go and typically auto for most other things. For white balance, I use auto wb w
Thanks! I love my T7i so far :)
Cool video, great content and love the honesty
What wide angle lens did u use?
I am still struggling to decide which one to buy! Here in Switzerland they have the same price but they give you the canon 50mm with the 200d for free. I would use the camera mainly for photos and astrophotography (already have another canon lens for this)...
The 50mm lens is a really nice lens. Really good for portraits!
I have both the T71 and the SL2 and you will not be sorry getting a SL2. If you get the 50mm lens with it at no extra charge go for it.
Thanks for the information☺️☺️ I’ve been wanting a canon for years, I do like the fact I can flip the screen
Sure thing. Happy to help
Does the T7i have auto focus in video mode?
Yes!
@@TheSearchForAwesome Thank you! I just got to the part of the video where you show an example! IM looking to upgrade my Cannon to allow auto focu in vid mode for my YT channel :)
Canon dual pixel is excellent autofocus. I really wish my Panasonic GH5 had something comparable
Thank you for this in-depth review!
I bought the SL2 instead of T7i. I'm totally happy with it.
+RKG Austin nice! I wish I had done the same :)
9 focus point?
+Jaxolotl For video it uses the Dual Pixel system from what I understand. You might have to be a little more patient when looking through the viewfinder.
I wanted too, the only thing that's holding me back is that SL2 comes with a 18-55 where as T7i(800d) comes with 18-135mm option
+Crippleback ah yes. I guess it does. Ever consider this bundle? 2 lens and you get much long zoom range. amzn.to/2zxySTt
