BE HONEST - What were your results? FUN!!! :)
Peter McKinnon Pete it’s all about the creator ! Wanna come ride in a big truck ? I’ll pick you up at the border
I have a 1300 d !! I'm gonna work now
Peter McKinnon Pete you are so rad🤙🏼📸😎
All nailed😎😂
Anything is possible.. Thanks Peter😎
No, it's not about camera, it's all about Adobe lightroom skill.
Mobile Gameplay totally true. The chromatic aberration and fringing from the cheap camera can easily be fixed.
In this video, it’s very controlled lighting so camera really doesn’t matter much at all. But there is a huge difference in cameras that will allow Lightroom to work better versus other cameras.
Only partly true, editing is still only half of the story...if you take a picture with a blurry concept, no amount of sharpening, editing or filters is gonna fix that lmao (Ansel Adams will attest to this)
photography is the most important part..its like 60-70 % of the game.. editing is the rest 30%
Chris project I’ve been doin this photography thing for five months now with one paid shoot done, wat I’ve realised is that Lightroom isn’t that hard of a concept to know how to use, shit my 12 yr old sister can use it to edit photos, wat i noticed weeks in is that it takes a skill to kno how every tool light room offers will affect ur photos so that u can see a photo preedit and kno exactly wat tools to use to give it the feel u want it to look like post edit
This why I love Peter's video is that they don't age. All his info on how to be a better photographer never changes, the technology changes, but the creative aspect of the art form remains.
A big giveaway in the differences between the 2 cameras is the depth of field, especially in the first 2 photos
I noticed that too, but you could use something like the 50mm 1.8 (just as a cheaper option) and it'll look a bit better
I agree, could jst get a better lens to increase the depth of field
@@lunawroblewski that's true, but it doesn't change sensor size. Like my lumix g7 which is 500 is very noticeable compared to an entry level full frame.
You should do a new-age smartphone vs. new-age camera showdown! Yes, the camera will be better but it would challenge you which is always a good thing.
I'd like to see a comparsion between a highend smartphone (Galaxy Note 9, iPhone Xs etc.) and a low tier DSLR. Just to see where smartphone are today. I don't think you get better results than the cheap DSLR, but it could be interesting anyway.
Thierry Pasteur Yes, it would definitely be an interesting video as today’s smartphones are pretty good when it comes to the camera department.
i've never been a big fan of photo editing although i use it from time to time. i grew up taking photos with a pentax 35mm developing from dark room and there is nothing more satisfying than a raw unedited image
Oh I'm so happy to hear this. I'm one of those who uses a 600$ camera and I'm trying to make a living out of it. Thanks for this! I needed it!
Mike Lunc. I feel you I’m doing the same with a 509 dollar Nikon D3300
It's more about the glass than the body these days. I was shocked to discover that the team that shot my wedding shot the entire thing on a pair of Sony a6000s, the photos came out absolutely fantastic.
The a6000 line has amazing autofocus, you can capture practically any moment and not have to worry: "is it in focus?"
As a native San Diagan I have to give you props on the mug. Totally would have bought a few if I saw this video in 2018 when they were available. Thanks for always sharing awesome content. Also, I got my mom your Nomatic Bag last year for Mother's Day and she still talks about it. Stoked for the new bag currently in crowd funding to arrive. Cheers!
Every pictures that has more blur(dof) are from the R because you use different len so it is super easy to tell the different.
Thanks just picked up the 90d love it so far
I'm still rocking a 450D (XSi), love it and I have a AE-1 I still use to get some gritty shots (which takes alot more work to setup shots and thought). But I still want to upgrade to a 6D for that full-frame goodness as I primarily shoot landscapes
Great message man. It seems so many people (including me) just want the next best camera because we think it will magically make our images better, but this is a great example that even cheap gear and get results.
Just bought an A6000 under 500$ and loving it. So much to do, so much to discover, especially for a beginner that is totally enough, and also there is a lot more in a lense than a camera.
S. Vestrè the only thing that kinda sucks with sony is their prices on their lense. Their 50mm 1.8 is freaking $300 while canon’s is $130
@@lewissison6557 yes especially their fast zoom... Those are over $2000. But the 50mm has IS whereas the canon one doesn't.
Great camera, I have it too. But yea Sony lenses are expensive; I was so surprised to see how much lower the prices are for the Canon equivalents.
That was my first camera. It's really good for landscapes
Well. I have a chinese MF f/1.7 35mm lense for 100$. Great for bookeh pictures and portraits. Sony lenses are expensive, but there also are other alternatives. A lot of third party manufacturers make for E-mount.
All valid points. That being said, great gear can make some things a great deal easier. For the enthusiast, but pretty average dad photog that I am, Sony's A7iii with a f/2.8 lens makes great indoor photos of my always-in-motion toddlers actually work, as opposed to my late dad's Fuji X100 that caught nothing but blur, even at fast shutter speeds because the AF can't keep up with them at all. My P900 offers a 2000mm equivalent zoom... something unique that a smartphone can't provide - much like a tough/waterproof camera works well for scuba.
Can you do the same concept but for Videography?
Do the same kind of video , but for videography
preerag prakash have a look for Parker Walbeck’s channel, he’s done a video on the canon 200D (rebel SL2) and shows how a lower end camera can still create a great cinematic video!
yeah do it!
loving my g7 right here
I also love my g85
Niice
I have been using a used D7100 for race track photography and I love it and it was less than 500 bucks. Shutter count was real low.
I wan't a camera even if it is that budget one. I want to start capturing images with my own camera. I have a passion for photography but I only borrow my friends' DSLR when i shoot. :(
I have seen a lot of people selling older Dslrs on Facebook, or even mirrorless for really cheap because they don't know what it's worth, or they're just trying to sell it fast.
Keep an eye out and you’ll find a deal! I ended up getting a barely used canon t5 about 8 months ago with a kit lens, bag and tripod thrown in for $200 off Facebook marketplace. It’s not the best but it’s a good starting point. Good luck
I’m selling a Nikon D7100 on eBay (Bernard6708564@yahoo.com)
"doesn't matter what you shoot on, fuji, Nikon, Sony (music stops), canon (music resumes)
I caught that mr McKinnon you sly guy!
haha jokes aside, love your content, even though I went with Sony over canon... I really do like both. Would love to see a video where you're forced to only use sonny gear for a day!
Daniel Ramirez haha good catch
it wont happen man. If yes then he wont publish the video
Totally agree with you! When I started shooting I bought my Canon 1300D and I was happy cause it works (and i'm still happy using it!) But when I started into video... oh, man! That camera just doesn't work! Your needs make your choices.
I nailed all of them. The only differance is the differance in depth of field which is due to the crop factor ;) other than that impossible to spot..!!!
You can just see the difference in depht quality,
EOS R: Smoother, none edge lined
T100: 2 lined egdes and little bit noise
Tamás Bihari yes I spotted the difference the $4,000 was more blurry around edges and $500 was more sharper
@@kristinaswendseid7221 same. literally was looking for this comment
It also depends what you are shooting. This is a very wild estimation of the balance between the photographer's experience, the lens and the camera body.
still compositions/portraits : 60% photographer, 35% lens, 5% camera (or 20% lens, 20% film)
macro photography : 50% photographer, 40% lens, 10% camera
wildlife : 45% photographer, 40% lens, 15% camera
sports : 40% photographer, 30% lens, 30% camera
When subjects are pretty still or if you have time to prepare the setup, the photographer artisitic pov has far more importance than the rest. Of course he can also use a very specific lens for the scene and make great effect but only his experience can tell. In our digital era, the body as almost no impact. But, the wilder and the more erratic the subjects are and the more lens and bodies have to follow the photographer's reflexes and cheap lens and bodies will have a greater impact on photographer's work.
" The camera doesn't make the photographer, the photographer makes the camera" (Loved you video by the way)
Solid and informative vid. Thanks man !
when youre having to SPOT the difference, it kinda goes to show, you dont NEED A 4K BODY , you need to improve your skills and maybe try different lens/lens types for shots.
Haha sick video, I think your way of changing subjects is so funny! Love the video
1 hour away from doing my first wedding shoot with an Canon M50
How'd it go?
Creativity takes place in you head, not in the tools you use!
I have a rebel eos t600 and I get fairly decent photos, though I'm still learning how to use it
I can't wait to get better
Remember, the people who are buying your pictures and videos are not professional photographers or cinematographers. They just know what looks good, to them. So, they're not likely to be able to discern what level of quality equipment you used. And, if they like what they see, they're not going to care. So, in the end, what you're really selling is your talent. And, if you have talent, it's going to come through whether you're shooting with a $30,000.00 Red or an iphone.
If you’re not creating with the camera you already have, you won’t create anything with a more expensive one 👊🏻
Duncan Smith Trueee!
Nah don't completely agree, there are sooo many cameras that just don't make fun to shoot with and your result isn't enjoyable, just because of the lens, but as you pay 300 Dollars, everything is fun to shoot with :)
GeekShow haha I think you make a great point and I totally agree that you have to pay to get a better experience. My point is that if someone can’t push through an unenjoyable experience, they probably aren’t committed enough 👊🏻
Duncan Smith soooo true.....
@@DuncanSmith I've had a Canon Eos M10 (dunno if it exists in the US) and it wasn't enjoyable, it was a frickin' pain in the arse, no manual focus (why the hell ever) with really bad autofocus and now I bought a Panasonic G7 and it's soooo nice, no useless and unnecessary limitations, just filming and having fun, but yeah I definately get your point, but let's face it, when you're under a Panasonic G7 (I bought mine used for 330 Euros, probably around 370USD) and everything below never seemed attractive to me ^^

PM: "I'm talking about bottom of the line $500 or less"
My camera is $150
Yeah he's a little out of touch because he's talking bottom of the line professional or pro-sumer grade. Consumer grade cameras above 200$ are generally very nice. At least they are in a world where most pictures are badly composed and processed automatically by smartphones.
Sam to be fair though, an SLR really is the bare minimum you need for professional photography and they start in the $400-$500 range for the newest entry level models. You can get older models and used models for cheaper ($250-$350). I just got a Nikon D3500 with two lenses (18-300mm covered) for $449. It doesn’t get much better than that for entry level and new.
Loool exactly what I was thinking 😬

@@angelfrias9953 😂
All is relative, but maybe for the future - the value of a body depreciates pretty quickly. You are better off getting a used pro or prosumer body than spending your hard earned cash on a new one. For instance if you look carefully you can get pro full frame cameras for under USD 500,- It may be a decade old, but in many ways it is still superior in the areas that really count. The mirrorless revolution is changing the game right now, not in image quality, but AF is a different story, but it pays to look at used and spend the difference on glass. That said, be happy with what you have and what you can afford. Although I am not a pro I have a lot of gear, but two of my oldest cameras make me the happiest - an original Canon 5D and the Nikon D700, both bought used. I could be happy with just one of them and a couple of lenses, 2-3 fast primes and a practical zoom.
LMFAO SAME i just bought a nikon d3500 kit
LMAO
Now my problem is: I don’t have the knowledge
The knowledge comes with experience. The more you shoot, the more you'll learn.
If you can't see it in first glance, it's not there. Art is about creating, not bury under technical information. 🤘

I can't imagine how many beginners (in awe of the cost of high end equipment) this video has encouraged to continue to pursue their dream of learning the art of photography.
absolutely
I was one of them😄
Yup I bought the canon t100 and starting my dream job
Canon will be like 'Cheers Pete, costing us thousands man!"
They should be thankful for bringing in new customers ✌️
Too right. Ha Ha!
They will sell more cheap cameras to more people than expensive cameras to professionals.
With good lighting, the difference is small. But lets try the same game in hard conditions...
Thats the difference : a pro camera will allow you to not care about any limits. Thats all.
Lenses make way bigger difference than body does.
Camilo Mejía Until you’re in a rather dark building and still need “fast” exposure, that’s when the noise level of the body comes into play...
Low light photography.
I agree! It’s better to spend more on a higher quality lens than the camera itself! If you are creative, you can get away with cheap cameras no problem. But a good quality lens will do wonders to your photos
Camilo Mejía not necessarily. I upgraded last year to canon 5d mark 4 for the 2 and that made a bigger difference than expensive lens. I can shoot at ridiculous ISO that I’d never dare shoot at and still the image detail is great. The difference it makes in low light was huge.
Why do the "lower end" pictures look better to me damn
I thought the sharper ones were the expensive camera. After two in a row like that, I caught on to "the game" sooner than the guest did. See the sharper ones = cheap camera. No explanation given though of why that was. No way I can match up to Mr. Mc in success, but for a fact, my artist portfolio clients would be disappointed with those gold ring shots; a matter of taste I guess.
a 50mm 1.8 makes anything passable
but a 1.4 is everything and more

I mean I first got into photography when I used my iphone 5 around 4 years ago, and got a cheap Sony NEX from eBay and a kit lens and I really spent the time to improve. The only reason I sunk so much money to eventually get an A7iii was because I often shoot events, and the crappy autofocus on older mirrorless cameras made me miss more shots than I could count.
That's the difference; an expensive camera makes you able to ignore problems such as noise and focus speed, but in the end it's always your eyes that will truly make a photo great
Haha try shooting a black cat some time. I don't care which of these cameras you have. If you don't get positioned so the light catches the critter well, you'll have a cat-shaped black blob with eyes. I learned this by experience which is more important than cameras.
@@mfreeman313 Not if you shoot RAW and use Lightroom.
@@jonothandoeser Yeah -_- like LR is able to correct f***** up focus...
@@evilikea Well, maybe not focus... just use manual focus if you have to.
Having spent 30 of my 64 years behind a camera I'd say you need to spend thousands...on learning to be a photographer. A good photographer can run a cheap camera but a poor photographer cannot run ANY camera.
That is so well said!

Same, people have 2 much money these days
A nifty 50 prime does tend to help with nice sharp images.
It would be interesting to see what a pro makes of pictures shot with a $4000 camera with a cheap plastic budget kit lens on the front.
They would make the same photos they make with any other lens of similar focal range....
Did you put a $900 lens on a $500 camera tho
Max no I have the lens he was talking about and it was around 125 dollars retail. But you raise a good point, lenses do make a huge difference
He said he used the 50mm 1.8 STM. It's like $125
Along with it, he mentions light makes a difference. If both photos were taken in poor lighting, the more expensive will be substantially better.
@@GrimTactics6226 No, he is not.
@@penkatadrums for some photos he is. He mentioned he switched it up like half way through.
When you ask a photographer what kind of camera they are, it's like asking a poet what kind of pen they are
Upon failure, it's easier to blame the tools used rather than how they were employed.
Would love to see a similar comparison with video quality? Really insightful though! :)
Yes pleaseee
PETER!!!!!
EOS R should dominate, $500 video camera go for SONY A6300 used or G85/G7
That is a great idea!
Yes!! And video with kit lenses on a $500 camera vs the really good lenses on the $5,000 camera.
this is exactly what I currently need... make a peace with cameras and start do more with what I have..
I agree, I made do with the T3i and the kit lens as well as a nifty fifty for a while, now I switch between my T7i and an Olympus EM-10 MKII, depending on my needs. It's all about using what you have and getting the most out of it. you'll get more creative if you work with limitations. forces you to make do with what you've got.

I did better than I thought I would! I've not watched your whole video yet so I don't know if you're going to go into how you can tell the difference but the main thing I was going off was quality of blur. The ones I thought were entry level had jagged blurs instead of a nice gaussian effect, almost like the camera couldn't quite cope. You can see it on the ring photo when comparing the two. However I got some wrong so this can't be the entire basis, right? 😝
Do a videography version of this video
Agreed - curious where the diminishing returns comes in when it comes to video. Likewise another version of photography with different styles/lighting.

Loved the stories of your early experiences but times have really changed. It was 1952. I was 13 and had just thrown a roll of B&W 620 film into my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye and proceeded the 6 blocks to a grand opening of a new gas station. I shot 10 of the 12 shots on the roll and developed it that night using a Kodak tri chem pack. The next day I went to a local camera store and had him make an 8x10 of the best negative. Total cost, if I remember right (for the film and the enlargement ), came to about 2 bucks. That afternoon I sold the print to the owner of the station for the grand sum of 6 dollars. Wow , I tripled my money and got hooked for life. In the 66 years that have flown by since, I've never forgot my first sale.
Your 79 years old incredible!
I'm awfully late to the party but I figure I'll leave my two cents anyways. I was already looking forward to getting my T100 (my first camera!) and now, seeing what it can do with enough time and practice, I'm even more excited to really get into photography.

Vast majority of Image Quality comes from the Lens rather than the Camera Body. Expensive cameras allows you to work more quickly and efficiently so when "time is money", cheaper cameras that take longer to do things actually cost Professionals more money in the long run.
thank you.

I owned a $500 sony a5100 until yesterday when I bought the Sony A7iii with G Master lens.
I heard so many UA-camrs say exactly what this video says, but let me give you a different perspective.
It depends what your shooting! With studio lighting it’s probably not going to matter much.
You want a picture of the sunset, in any lower light etc. low end cameras won’t touch higher end.
My first few photos out of the a7 I shared online, I had people begging to know what camera I used, how did I get such incredible, professional photos?
The a5100 would blowout the sky or wouldn’t have the dynamic range needed to get a great shot, just average regardless of how many settings I tried.
The a7 instantly gave me incredible details and colors instantly that were far beyond the possibility of my $500 camera.
Just be aware it really depends what you’re trying to shoot.
Exactly
Thanks for the insight, currently I've got an 80D for event photography and thinking it just isn't cutting it with the amount of noise it often has so I'm thinking of finally going full frame, but I feel like there are so many people online trying to shame you into using cheap cameras because you can still get results with them.
Sure I've done some great stuff with just my iPhone but that's under very specific conditions, I think what's important is the better camera will allow you to be more flexible with lighting. Put that old Canon in any other situation and let's see how it goes.
Also the autofocus points
There are times, when DR matters, but I’ve mastered my cheap Canon 550D with exposure bracketing and the photos became much more better looking after that. A funny thing is that with my new Nikon FF I cannot shot as good photos as I did with 550D, because Canon gives much better colors, so there’s no need to spend a lot of time for post-processing.
@@sergeyz5053 that depends a lot on what you're doing, you probably wouldn't have fun trying to bracket on an event shoot.
Did anyone else search up photos from d-day after this?
if you go to google trends, you can actually see a jump in searches from 0 shortly after this video came out trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%203-m&geo=US&q=d-day%20photos
as someone who is into photography you should have known these pictures. anyhow -you know them now which is nice!
i think this comparisson sucks anyway.
I mean - there was only one photographer during d day, that was robert capa. So he shows them pictures by one of the best war photographers ever alive done with a Leica (the best gear at that time).
Look up Robert Capa
@@artk8639 man shut up
Low light situations, fast sport events etc make the difference. For set up perfect shots you only need good glass to get rid of the vins... and for some cases have low enough D stopps to male that sweet bokeh.
Look at all the rich white guys getting offended haha. Same thing with sports...I see guys with 10k mountain bikes but can't ride. It's the person, not the instrument.
I once passed some full-suspension all mountain mtb "mountain biker" on my 1990's full-rigid trek lmao. The poor dude was more rigid than my fork going down the hill xD
I think if you’re skilled you can always make art out of cheap materials.
Yes, you can get great photos with a 500 dollar camera. However, if you are shooting on a T100 you most likely are using the 18-55 kit lens. Not a $1,600 L lens. The glass makes a bigger difference than the camera.
Yes but the 50 1.8 mark 2 is a plastic piece of shit you can buy for a smile and a high five.
It looks good if you know what you're doing.
There's even a Chinese knock-off that's so cheap, it pays you if you buy it.
Cheers.
Spend a bit more and get the new pancake-ish STM model, it's not as cheap but it won't crack under a strong breeze and has vastly less distortion, ca and corner softening
@WillHerondale My 50 f1.8 Mk1 exploded into like 10 pieces this year in my camera bag while I was in Mexico. Reached into my bag to swap from some cheap EF lenses I picked up at a garage sale for a few bucks and instead of my lens, pulled out a random collection of plastic bits instead LOL.
He actually wasn't using any of his L lenses. Just an 18-55 and 50 1.8! Both the cheapest, most plastic filled lenses canon makes lmao. But you're totally right, for photos, good lenses are farrrr more important than a decent camera
More expensive cameras work much better in low light or with fast moving subjects or extreme photographing conditions in general than cheaper cameras, hard to notice too much of a difference with simple daytime photos though.
Put a comparison between a cheap dlsr and a canon eos r6 or r5 in a sports event and the r6 and r5 will completely destroy the cheap one.
As someone who's used the T100 for two years... You can 100% work with the camera in most situations, the situations I wasn't able to work with I'd blame them more on my incompetence and lack of experience/skills than on the camera.
love the animations you have overlaying recently.. squiggles, lines.. I appreciate the little details!!
New Editor doing his job :P
You’ve made me discover my hidden passion. Just saving up for my first DSLR, I’m pumped! Thank you so much for all you give. PS: your lightroom presets are awesome, best buy! 🎥💥
Looks like you only need to save $400 now...
Tasteful Transportation Haha, music to my ears! 🎉
Shit!! cracked my screen again...do i really have to smash everytime ? Cant we just tap ? Make video on that...
In conclusion. You dont need a good camera. Just good lenses and creativity
And alot more time.
Any camera (well, almost) can take a great image in the right conditions for the gear. Super cheap cameras, or even smaller cameras like phones, can usually take great images in 2 or 3 certain conditions, but fail when going outside these conditions. More expensive cameras / lenses can increase the number of conditions to include the more challenging ones that they are able to get great images with. Imagine taking a still life shot next to a window in your living room that is going on instagram only. Virtually any camera could do a good job. Now imagine taking a shot of a team playing indoor volleyball in a dark (for photography) room that needs to be blown up to 20"x30". Right tools for the right jobs.
This video explains why my dads pictures on his new iphone xs still look like he took them on the first iphone 🤣
You just roasted your dad
Intro after 3:25 minute of the video , only Peter can do that
500$ is ma max budget ...but even can't afford 😰♥️
Dude! I was blown away by those comparative photos! I guessed wrong 4 times. Thanks for the education 🙏🏻🤯
Got 1 wrong. Yay
I LOVE that cameras aren't "Pay To Win". It's so much more than the camera and lens, it's also about the creativity, the eye, the aesthetics, the edits, etc. This is why I love photography/videography, I don't have the best camera or lens at all but I am able to make my work look amazing still. Another great video, Peter, you've been such a huge inspirtaion to me, helped me create a photgraphy/videography business and just 4 months ago I started this channel manly inspired by you. I hope one day I can reach your level and I'm able to motivate thousands of people!
michael_ surfer Peter is the man!
Sony a7iii = pay to win
Yeah, good thing EA makes no cameras
Pete your channel made me realize how passionate I am with photography and editing and filmmaking and since then I've been using all that you've been teaching us but with the gear that I have ( my old Samsung galaxy J1 ) so upgrading to a camera like that would be amazing for me and I'm really motivated by the fact of being able to finally change lenses xD
Bro These pictures have PERFECT Light... So if you have PERFECT Light it doesnt really matter BUT when the light aint perfekt (street photography) a Vetter cam pays off...
Good lighting > camera equipment. Pretty much any camera is great in good lighting with still images but once you get into low light or start needing good autofocus it starts to fall apart. You definitely don’t wanna take that cheap plastic camera out in the rain either.
Again context is everything! if there are ways to achieve a good photos regardless of the equipment or location and subject. what you are talking about is a weatherproofed camera body, again there are ways around shooting without weatherproofing.
Not saying this video isn't valid, but might you get a bigger disparity in results if you had to take pictures of landscapes, portraits, moving objects or people in sports...If I have a lot of time to setup a mug on a table and get my lighting, I, too, might get excellent results. Not bashing the idea. I am genuinely curious if you could do a video that covers a few more of those things I said. I have only recently gotten into photography and I don't have a camera yet. It is a great learning experience to make sure that I get the right DSLR to start on. So far, just shooting on my phone and on a canon powershot from 2012 that was laying around my folks home.
I agree with you. Those you mentioned are the weakness of low end cameras. Low end cameras are great if you know what you are doing.
I too started with a SX110 moved on to SX130, later I got a 600D which I still use today with a 50mm but I also work with a NIKON D750
If you can get your hands on a Canon 800D, youll have a good allrounder on a ''budget''. Iso values are pretty good, burst is pretty great at 6fps and you have 45 crosstype focus points which is great.
If you want more FPS then go mirrorless.
IllenbergAir Yeah love my 600D! I installed Magic Lantern about a year ago and that really opened up a lot more possibilities (like long exposures, etc). What I have found is that for low light video I dare not go over iso800 though.
why is nobody talking about how dope that mug is?
Ahmed Traveling because it’s just a hipster trendy style mug ^^
Can you smell the leather?
im using a Rebel T6i, and I run a freelance photography/cinematography business.
Can you tell me what for lens? And what for settings / default? I own same camera, but I dont become great video 🤨 Tnx!
@@CalmingSoulMusic Different lenses have different uses, same for settings.
