What's up everyone?! I hope this cinematic SL2 tutorial was helpful. I love how powerful this camera is for the price. A lot of people dismiss it as a beginner camera, but I think the results are pretty good. Let me know what you think!! Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
I wish I could go back in time to 3 years ago and have this video when I started. Seriously, bro, this is the best 18 minutes somebody new to videography could watch. You are going to help a LOT of people get started with this video and if these doesn't end up with a million views someday it will be a shame.
Wow, that's amazing to hear. I'm really glad this video was useful. I was hoping that I didn't include too much stuff to the point where people wouldn't watch. Really appreciate the feedback.
Tech Gear Talk my pleasure. I would’ve loved to see this when I was starting out. My only concern about how many views this gets is because it’s tied to the SL2 and Canon seems to be moving away from DSLRs right now. But I guess you could just make it again with a different camera. ;-) I’ve said this before but I’m really thankful for this new batch of camera/photography youtubers coming up who just seem to want to help.
Good point about it being tied to the SL2 but yes, I could just re-do it. I'm just glad this is being helpful. I know people waste hours/days/weeks/months searching for info.
I have had my camera for 4 years and didnt know how much could be acheived with the kit lens. i have made 100s of videos with bad settings and already in 10 minutes the qualty of my footage has 10x!! such a learning curve and excited to see more
Loved this video. Really thankful it’s based on the SL2! Can’t wait to see the color grading tutorial. I just hope it’s not too different on Final Cut Pro 😆 thanks for sharing!
I found a used camera shop where I’m gonna buy an SL2 for $350 in excellent condition. All of these tutorials will definitely help me use the camera properly, thank u
Very informative video! Not many know the capability of Canon 200d as a serious creative camera. So, thanks for making a detailed video. Waiting for your next color grading tutorial.
TechRunsGadgets That's it. The 200d is a great camera. She is very valuable and for this money you can't get a another camera with this quality. It's sad that the 200d often stands in the shadows of the expensive ones... My sister got the 200d to xmas from me. She is totally happy and me too.. I love the 200d. Great photography should not cost a lot of money, so the 200d is perfect.
Man... We watched tons of videos on ytube for cool tips and a number of people have talked several minutes by wasting time for no reason but Dear Sir, You are the real GEM and no one is close to you. How brilliant you are it is simply awesome, one of the great video on Ytube we have ever watched. Thanks a million for wonderful work. Really appreciate the afford you have put into it. You deserve to be in trending list.
This was great! Nearly every sentence contained an answer to a question that was in my head! There’s a lot of info here and the beauty of UA-cam is I can rewatch bits of it to make sure I’ve understood. I don’t have the SL2 at the moment but will be getting one later in the year - your videos have helped me make up my mind on which camera to get and also got me excited for what I can do with it once I’ve got my hands on one. Many thanks!
This video really helped me. Thanks so much. I have it saved to refer back to because I have a bad memory when it comes to camera settings. I was worried when setting my indoor light settings for a kitchen tutorial when the balance was dark. I remembered this video explained to start at lowest light and then I just raised my light settings. It was perfect. Thanks.
In all videos that i have seen in youtube, not a single one even compare with this one. Its didactic, technical, desintenteresed, practical and clear in every way. Thank you so much!
Been struggling to choose between m50 and sl2 but after watching your in-depth review about sl2 and m50 I think I would finally choose sl2/200d over m50. Thank you for your help!
@@TechGearTalk For a beginner like me and considering the price this camera is an excellent choice. Looking forward to learn more from your channel. Subscribed!
I tried my new 200D today and was dissapointed with the results. I now realise I had it set up all wrong. I can't wait to take what I've learnt from this video, and put it in action. Thank you so much.
This is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on the SL2 (I have 2 of them). I'm a beginner and this was exactly what I needed. You even went places I didn't know to go. TY! I subscribed and glad I found you!
Thank You so much for this video. You are a great teacher, and You demonstrate awareness of the important small notes to give. I am a beginner with an sl2, and Ive been just moving round aperture and shutter speed until the video looked somewhat ok, Having no knowledge of which is which. The small things You do here like point out where to find them on the camera, and talk about cinematography basics at the same time his extremely helpful. I am going to use the 180degree rule immediately with my iso low while I shoot during the day. Thank You so much for this!
i'm using canon 200d mark2 and the only thing i can say, this camera is underated, the quality are good, not that great but for the price, its a big thumbs up for me...
Thank you man, very helpful video for my T7i camera. I cant believe i watched it for free, no gimmick, just pure quality tutorial. Definetely subscribed
After 1 week of not getting great tutorials, I didn't used my new canon 200d, but when I got your channel, I've got a lot of information now I am ready to go outside Thanks for your help.
First of all, congratulations on your new camera! I'm glad that you found my channel and that it is being helpful. I have more content coming about the SL2 and let me know if you have any questions.
I've since been held in suspense waiting for the color grading video. I am dying now. Please, may you shoot it ASAP. By the way, this video was so much informative, thank you!
Glad the video was helpful Jasmine. Take your time. Remember that with the shutter speed being double the frame rate, you're only changing aperture and ISO. Let me know if you have any questions.
I think my favorite part about this video is that the focus ( oh boy here come da puns ) is on the right shot . In a LOT of other videos I hear this phrase way too much: " Don't worry, you can fix that in post". Second video I have from TGT and just had to sub! thanks for your content!
Was seeing cinematic videos on Instagram & thought I needed a new camera for this. Glad to know I can still use my sl2 and capture this content thank you for this information.
This video was amazing. I have an EOS200D and was already worried my camera is too bad for low light conditions. But your explanationsreally helped me from a very bad video quality with a lot of noise to a perfect video quality, even in very dark situation with high contrast and awesome cinematic look. I struggled the whole day before finding your video. Thanks a lot, you saved my day! I have my camera already 2 years but never figured out how to have good quality, so I kept using my smartphone as it was way better. Now with the correct settings I can see the difference. Wow!!! On point your explanations! Thanks!
Seriously dude, thank you so much for this. I'm buying the SL2 in 1 month and this video has helped me so much. And the fact that you have more vids like this pretty much explaining every detail about this camera means a lot. this is 1 of 3 cameras I will be using to shoot my music videos for my channel. I will learn quickly because of you because right now I know NOTHING lol
Hi! I've said many times that you make great videos, but this one is maybe your best one for me. Great look, great sound and man... you're the king of scripts! 18 minutes, but every second is needed, helpful, interesting and understandable for everyone. You're doing an absolutely great job! Keep on!
I can't tell you how much these comments mean to me. I put a lot of work into these videos and hope they are helpful, but I never know unless people provide feedback. I was worried that 18 minutes was going to be too much but I didn't know what to cut out. Glad it was all useful and thank you for watching.
Thanks man, definately the best explantion video by far. Youre really good at making the concepts seem more simple and less overwhelming espeically for someone like me whos a complete beginner
Thank you so much for this video. I watched it last year but didn't pay much attention. And I'm back at again, and am amazed at how great the information you've shared here is. Thank you. You are easy to understand.
One of the best, fastest, straight to the point tutorials I have ever seen. And also includes links to everything mentioned. Wow!!! If only all tutorials were like this one. Thank you so much. I just subscribed.
Great Tutorial, I have (5) SL2's that I use for Podcasts, Commercials, Documentaries and streaming. The videos that you are tapping on this camera have shorten the learning curve for me TREMENDOUSLY! Thank You and keep up the great work.
Hi Mike. I’m super happy that the content is being helpful and I’m grateful for you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏🏻. Let me know if you have any questions.
Tech Gear Talk Thanks for your feedback, appreciate you take your time to answer comments. I have a ton of questions, but I don’t want to bother you with those beginner stuff. ;)
Omg I’ve had my SL2 for 3 years . Used it in auto mode and wish I had a clue on what the hell your talking about . I hate myself !!!!! Bought the camera for UA-cam , which has gone no where lol. But I enjoy my camera. I actually bought my first lense last week , the canon 50mm 1.8 ( start small ) I will continue to watch all your tutorials as I really want to learn . Much love from the UK
Loved it! The color grading alone was very helpful; I've always skipped that step because I never knew what it was for and how I would use it, but your before-and-after shots certainly illustrated the "why".
I bought this camera few months ago from watching your videos and fallen in love with videography. I’ve learnt so much since. I’ve been filming short trailers for small companies and personal cinematic footage since. You’re doing such a great job! Can’t wait for the colour grading video!
In a word "perfect". This video was on the ball, very succint and perfectly explained. I dont have an SL2 or 200d as it's called in Europe but have got a 100d which has been severely underused until now as I am now teaching myself through youtube how to get best results. I'm already using manual settings and all the other modes. I hardly use the auto mode anymore thanks to youtube videos. I have just purchased the 55-250mm stm lens and also been givena 50mm lens. I also have the 18-55 stm kit lens which has been very good. Thank you for your videos and keep them coming👍😊
That is super kind of you today. I am very glad that this video was helpful. I am working on a few more right now. I like your setup, the 18-55mm and the 50mm are the first 2 lenses people should get, then the 55-250mm gives you good range.
After a year of this video i still watching this over and over to refresh my learning great videos I really thankful for the information that you provide. Thank you 🙏🏼 im a fan of what you do. I would to see more videos about the canon SL2
I have been looking everywhere for a video that gives clear and to the point tutorials and guides to the Canon 200D. This video was exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for this quality video. I have subscribed.
Thank you so much, I own a SL2 and I always wanted to record some videos but was never quite sure how to understand all the settings since I'm a total beginner. Now with this I can start feeling more confident while I try to learn more.
First time ever someone explains this so simply and logically. Thank you so much!!! I gave up on getting the cinematic look. I am back after 2 years of staying away from my cams footage looking kinda flat.. Buying the cannon sl 200d soon because of this review after years of dealing with sony nex ea50 (quite frustrating, very expensive lenses which I don't want to buy) and the Panasonic Gh 2 (way better look but with limitations).
Bro, your hosting style for these videos is so welcoming, and the information on them is so useful! I just pulled the trigger on a second hand SL2 after watching your review and recommendations. Thank you so much, and keep it up! Subscribed!
I have had my Rebel SL2 for 2 years and still learning new things about it. I also watched this video a long time ago and had a lot of the tips just fly over my head and I just felt lazy to choose auto on a lot of features. But I am looking to make better quality videos for my channel now so I am going to try some of your tips. Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I was thinking of buying a new SL3 because of 4K capability. But I just learned how to make my videos looks way better just by watching this tutorial.
Glad the video was helpful and thank you for the kind words! I just want to make sure you're aware that 4k on the SL3 has an added crop and no dual pixel autofocus.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you. So, I'm about to start shooting for my new channel with my SL2, but I see almost all creators today use 4K or higher. Do you think 4K is a must?
No, I definitely don't think 4K is a must. Very little of content is viewed in 4k. If you really want 4K, you're better off looking at something like the t8i or the 90d. (but again, it's not a must in my opinion).
I was really confused which camera to get between 800d m50 n 200d. I want to be a content creater i am so much interested in photography n videography and as being that which will be the best camera to go with,, i was so much confused But finallyy waaOoo yOur videOo took my mind to the sureshot buying of 200d You showed what 200d is capable of! And waOo i liked it soOoo much! Now just i want to make such videos that you made using 200d I am excitingly waiting for the color grading video of this!! Thank yOu!! 😍
This was so great, i was literally able to follow along with the camera in my hand and see all the features i had no idea about. You got our subscribe Thank you!
loved this video , i had no idea what i was buing when i got it , i just wanted a camere to do what i hoped would become my youtube channel , i never realised how cepable my camera actually is
Man, this is an incredible video, have watched hundreds of videos and I didn't gasp so much info as I did watching yours. Thanks a million. following you and waiting for your new videos.
if i use led lights that go to 5200k how should i adjust my whitebalance? I'm a beginner. And and recording as a talking head sitting down(no movement). Also should I use a light difuser? Thank you.
Awesome content, man! As a beginner most videos feel too overwhelming but you go straight to the point and provide lots of useful information. At first I was kinda skeptical of the quality from the cheaper DSLRs but you proved me completely wrong. I'll definitely consider getting this camera. Please keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Lucas. I wanted to help and also show people that while there are advantages to higher-end cameras, you don't always need to spend a lot of money. Glad it was helpful.
Excellent review. Not only informative, but also educational so that everyone can better understand FPS, shutter speed, ISO, etc and how they’re related to one another. THANKS a bunch!
Hey, I don't have any dslr or mirrorless camera but your videos are really helpful for those who are having. Your videos show your efforts, that you put in making videos.
Interesting. Where White Balance is concerned this was the setting that I had always left alone on my 200D (having changed everything else manually) and let the camera look after it by selecting AWB. Likewise with Picture Styles - it was something that I had always ignored.....so thanks for bringing these things up. Will make me take that little bit more time to get things set up right next time!
A trick that I learned for getting filters is that you always wanna buy the filter for the largest size lens you have in terms of diameter. Then if you need need to put it on a smaller lens you can just buy a step down ring to make it fit as opposed to buying several filters for all your lenses
I have watched enough videos of this nature to safety say that this is the best! ...to the point, examples every step of the way... Awesome! Thank you! This is the fourth of your videos I have watched. Subbed, liked, and also hit that bell.
Oh wow... I'm so glad it was useful. I never know if I put in enough or too much detail, so I super appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Thank you also for the support! Are you using an SL2? What lenses?
@@TechGearTalk Actually, I ordered the SL2 right after I finished commenting here. You influenced that purchase. It should be in my hands tomorrow. I own an Olympus, and a Minolta SLR...very, very old cameras. I have not used them in ages. Once I went DSLR, I stopped using the old SLR cameras. I own a Canon EOS Rebel, also very, very old (XTi). Now it was time for me to upgrade. I wanted the movie option. The lens I am getting is the one included with the camera (EF-S 18-55mm STM Lens). I have a few other lenses that I have purched previously, including a macro lens. Thank you so much for all the information you are putting out there, and in the manner in which you do. You are a natural when it comes to teaching. I should know. I have been a high school teacher for the past 36 years. I will continue to come back to your channel to learn some more from you.
I'm just starting my UA-cam channel and I have the Canon G7X Mark III. Your Video is helping me soooo much understanding my camera and about filming! Awesome Video! Thank you!
I really want the sl2 ive heard very little negativity about it but so much good for the price and you keep helping me get more info about it along with many others thank you youve been inspiring for me as a (almost) beginner film maker
Great great video. So we'll done. So thorough but to the point. I have struggled with putting all these concepts together until now. You just changed my field of view from a 125mm lens to a 22mm lens.
That was awesome man. I own a 200D (SL2) and lately I've been thinking about selling it and buying a different one, like 6D mark 2, or even the huge step of buying the EOS R, which definitely are much better cameras than the SL2, although they are way more expensive!!!, but you got me thinking here. Thanks again. New supporter here
Glad it was useful and appreciate your support. I really like the EOS R image quality, but as you mentioned, it doesn't come for free. Smart move to just wait a bit longer and see.
A very cool and informative video. This helps me decide what to get as a beginner camera for videography and filmmaking. Thanks bro. Love here from the Philippines 👍.
Literally I'm thinking, is it worth to buy this 200d so i search in UA-cam and your video showed up... I watched it... Now i'm gonna buy it... Thanks brother.. ✌️
@@TechGearTalk I had the SL1 and just bought the sl3. (I was going to buy the Sl2 but it appears the SL3 was very similar and only a few dollars more expensive, so that's what I got.) Can't wait to delve deeper into the settings.
very inspiring. as the owner of an SL2, i purchased it for the dual pixel autofocus. i have read plenty of web slams about the soft 1080p, canon mp4 codec. sure, it's not 4k. sure, it's not the sharpest footage. that said, there is something very appealing about the image, especially since so much of the footage we see is distributed on the web. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i look forward to ANY and ALL SL2 vids you post. BIG thumbs up for a job well done.
This is a great tutorial! I’ve had the 200D for a year and use it a lot in my UA-cam videos. I get very nice video right out of the camera but would like to get the most from this handy, small dslr. I’ll check out your color grading video next. Thanks👊🏻
What's up everyone?! I hope this cinematic SL2 tutorial was helpful. I love how powerful this camera is for the price. A lot of people dismiss it as a beginner camera, but I think the results are pretty good. Let me know what you think!!
Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
Do you think this camera still worth it in 2019?
Amazing 👍👍.. waiting for the color grading video.. Thanks.. Greetings from Australia 👍

But your explanationsreally helped me from a very bad video quality with a lot of noise to a perfect video quality, even in very dark situation with high contrast and awesome cinematic look. I struggled the whole day before finding your video. Thanks a lot, you saved my day! I have my camera already 2 years but never figured out how to have good quality, so I kept using my smartphone as it was way better. Now with the correct settings I can see the difference. Wow!!! On point your explanations! Thanks!
Im barely 5 mins into your video and your the best informative teacher on cameras , thank you 🙏🏽 your far way better on explaining everything
I'm so glad the video was helpful!
Seriously dude, thank you so much for this. I'm buying the SL2 in 1 month and this video has helped me so much. And the fact that you have more vids like this pretty much explaining every detail about this camera means a lot. this is 1 of 3 cameras I will be using to shoot my music videos for my channel. I will learn quickly because of you because right now I know NOTHING lol
I’m so glad the videos are helpful! Welcome to the community and thank you for the support!
I’ve just recently purchased an SL2 and this was both technical but also easy to understand. Thanks soo much!
That's awesome feedback, thank you. I'm glad it was helpful!
Hi! I've said many times that you make great videos, but this one is maybe your best one for me. Great look, great sound and man... you're the king of scripts! 18 minutes, but every second is needed, helpful, interesting and understandable for everyone. You're doing an absolutely great job! Keep on!
I can't tell you how much these comments mean to me. I put a lot of work into these videos and hope they are helpful, but I never know unless people provide feedback. I was worried that 18 minutes was going to be too much but I didn't know what to cut out. Glad it was all useful and thank you for watching.
Thanks man, definately the best explantion video by far. Youre really good at making the concepts seem more simple and less overwhelming espeically for someone like me whos a complete beginner
Thank you so much for this video. I watched it last year but didn't pay much attention. And I'm back at again, and am amazed at how great the information you've shared here is. Thank you. You are easy to understand.
You're very welcome!
One of the best, fastest, straight to the point tutorials I have ever seen. And also includes links to everything mentioned. Wow!!! If only all tutorials were like this one. Thank you so much. I just subscribed.
Great Tutorial, I have (5) SL2's that I use for Podcasts, Commercials, Documentaries and streaming. The videos that you are tapping on this camera have shorten the learning curve for me TREMENDOUSLY! Thank You and keep up the great work.
Again, you are the only person who made me understand what ISO is ACTUALLY for!!! 👏👏👏
So happy that I was able to help.
This (all your other SL2 videos) is the best content I have seen so far on this amazing camera. Thanks a lot. Subscribed, of course.
Hi Mike. I’m super happy that the content is being helpful and I’m grateful for you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏🏻. Let me know if you have any questions.
Tech Gear Talk Thanks for your feedback, appreciate you take your time to answer comments. I have a ton of questions, but I don’t want to bother you with those beginner stuff. ;)
You’re very welcome. Maybe jump on an Instagram live when I do one, and ask there
Omg I’ve had my SL2 for 3 years . Used it in auto mode and wish I had a clue on what the hell your talking about . I hate myself !!!!! Bought the camera for UA-cam , which has gone no where lol. But I enjoy my camera. I actually bought my first lense last week , the canon 50mm 1.8 ( start small ) I will continue to watch all your tutorials as I really want to learn . Much love from the UK
Loved it! The color grading alone was very helpful; I've always skipped that step because I never knew what it was for and how I would use it, but your before-and-after shots certainly illustrated the "why".
Glad it was helpful Johan. Appreciate the kind words and support!
I bought this camera few months ago from watching your videos and fallen in love with videography. I’ve learnt so much since. I’ve been filming short trailers for small companies and personal cinematic footage since. You’re doing such a great job! Can’t wait for the colour grading video!
I'm so happy the videos are helpful and that you are enjoying your gear! I'm working on the video and will have it up soon!
This is a whole photography course in 18 min. Thank you very much
You are very welcome. Hope it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.
In a word "perfect". This video was on the ball, very succint and perfectly explained. I dont have an SL2 or 200d as it's called in Europe but have got a 100d which has been severely underused until now as I am now teaching myself through youtube how to get best results. I'm already using manual settings and all the other modes. I hardly use the auto mode anymore thanks to youtube videos. I have just purchased the 55-250mm stm lens and also been givena 50mm lens. I also have the 18-55 stm kit lens which has been very good. Thank you for your videos and keep them coming👍😊
That is super kind of you today. I am very glad that this video was helpful. I am working on a few more right now.
I like your setup, the 18-55mm and the 50mm are the first 2 lenses people should get, then the 55-250mm gives you good range.
@@TechGearTalk Thanks, hope to take many photos and start videoing a bit more.
Best thing you can do is shoot, shoot, and shoot more.
Just got this camera in 2022 and it's really nice😀
After a year of this video i still watching this over and over to refresh my learning great videos I really thankful for the information that you provide. Thank you 🙏🏼 im a fan of what you do. I would to see more videos about the canon SL2
I have been looking everywhere for a video that gives clear and to the point tutorials and guides to the Canon 200D. This video was exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks for this quality video. I have subscribed.
Thank you so much, I own a SL2 and I always wanted to record some videos but was never quite sure how to understand all the settings since I'm a total beginner. Now with this I can start feeling more confident while I try to learn more.
I have a canon SL3, and this video was a big help! Not much has changed only that the new one shoots 4k
Glad it was helpful. Yes, not a ton of changes. None as far as this video is concerned.
Full info. Thank you sir so much. Just got my 200d
Congratulations. Thank you for the kind words and the support.
First time ever someone explains this so simply and logically. Thank you so much!!! I gave up on getting the cinematic look. I am back after 2 years of staying away from my cams footage looking kinda flat.. Buying the cannon sl 200d soon because of this review after years of dealing with sony nex ea50 (quite frustrating, very expensive lenses which I don't want to buy) and the Panasonic Gh 2 (way better look but with limitations).
I'm so glad this was helpful. I wasn't sure if I covered too much and I appreciate the feedback
Bro, your hosting style for these videos is so welcoming, and the information on them is so useful! I just pulled the trigger on a second hand SL2 after watching your review and recommendations. Thank you so much, and keep it up! Subscribed!
I have had my Rebel SL2 for 2 years and still learning new things about it. I also watched this video a long time ago and had a lot of the tips just fly over my head and I just felt lazy to choose auto on a lot of features. But I am looking to make better quality videos for my channel now so I am going to try some of your tips. Thank you!
Good luck - hope it's helpful!
I have bought a 200d last week im trying to learn everything from you
Congrats!!! Hope this was helpful
Thank u. Video is a big help for me. I just hope I'll follow what I learn from this video.
Super glad it was helpful. Take your time and follow it one step at a time.
went through about 100 videos before i saw this!! Ticks all the boxes!! Great work!!
So glad you liked it! Appreciate the kind words and you joining the channel!
I bought my first dslr canon 200d II today and watching your video to learn how to operate it.. great video.. thanks
Congratulations! Hope the videos are being helpful.
Fantastic tutorial! I like that you emphasize what is left out of this video so we don't end up hitting any loose ends! Thanks
Thanks so much for the feedback Anton. I was worried about it being too long and I appreciate the feedback.
Another great video, I've been to a couple film schools and i've learned more in your videos. Please keep them coming.
Wow Aaron, I'm so glad this video was helpful. Appreciate you joining the community!
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I was thinking of buying a new SL3 because of 4K capability. But I just learned how to make my videos looks way better just by watching this tutorial.
Glad the video was helpful and thank you for the kind words! I just want to make sure you're aware that 4k on the SL3 has an added crop and no dual pixel autofocus.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you. So, I'm about to start shooting for my new channel with my SL2, but I see almost all creators today use 4K or higher. Do you think 4K is a must?
No, I definitely don't think 4K is a must. Very little of content is viewed in 4k. If you really want 4K, you're better off looking at something like the t8i or the 90d. (but again, it's not a must in my opinion).
@@TechGearTalk Thank you very much. Very helpful. You have a new subscriber and fan!!!
very glad I was able to help and thank you for joining the channel.
I was really confused which camera to get between 800d m50 n 200d.
I want to be a content creater i am so much interested in photography n videography and as being that which will be the best camera to go with,, i was so much confused
But finallyy waaOoo yOur videOo took my mind to the sureshot buying of 200d
You showed what 200d is capable of!
And waOo i liked it soOoo much!
Now just i want to make such videos that you made using 200d
I am excitingly waiting for the color grading video of this!!
Thank yOu!! 😍
I'm really glad the videos are helpful. I have more coming!
This was so great, i was literally able to follow along with the camera in my hand and see all the features i had no idea about. You got our subscribe Thank you!
Super glad the video was helpful and glad you were able to follow along. If you have any questions let me know. Appreciate the support!
Tech Gear Talk have you done a video like this one with the SL2 that focuses more on vlog/indoor settings ?
I have not, but I can work on something like that.
@@TechGearTalk Cool, we've seen so many that explain settings for "SL2 Vlog style settings" but none have really explained how you did on this video.
I'll do my best.
Thanks for bringing all the details. You are truly a wise man !
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
Thank you, it was very much helpful. Best video about Canon SL2 on UA-cam.
Super glad that it was helpful - welcome to the channel!
loved this video , i had no idea what i was buing when i got it , i just wanted a camere to do what i hoped would become my youtube channel , i never realised how cepable my camera actually is
Super glad the video was helpful! Appreciate you joining the community.
thx so much .. I´ve watched so many times.. im still learing new stuff from it !! thank you, and greetings from Mex
Man, this is an incredible video, have watched hundreds of videos and I didn't gasp so much info as I did watching yours. Thanks a million. following you and waiting for your new videos.
Wow, I'm so glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the community.
@@TechGearTalk Really waiting for the Cinestyle color grading and if possible what is best external screen of SL2. Thank you.
Got it! 👊🏻
if i use led lights that go to 5200k how should i adjust my whitebalance? I'm a beginner. And and recording as a talking head sitting down(no movement). Also should I use a light difuser? Thank you.
Awesome content, man!
As a beginner most videos feel too overwhelming but you go straight to the point and provide lots of useful information. At first I was kinda skeptical of the quality from the cheaper DSLRs but you proved me completely wrong. I'll definitely consider getting this camera.
Please keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Lucas. I wanted to help and also show people that while there are advantages to higher-end cameras, you don't always need to spend a lot of money. Glad it was helpful.
Excellent review. Not only informative, but also educational so that everyone can better understand FPS, shutter speed, ISO, etc and how they’re related to one another. THANKS a bunch!
I'm super glad the video was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!
Hey, I don't have any dslr or mirrorless camera but your videos are really helpful for those who are having. Your videos show your efforts, that you put in making videos.
Thank you so much for always watching and contributing!
i found this to be very helpful as i want to start making videos and had considered that camera as my camera choice.
Super glad it was helpful. Thanks for joining the community.
Interesting. Where White Balance is concerned this was the setting that I had always left alone on my 200D (having changed everything else manually) and let the camera look after it by selecting AWB. Likewise with Picture Styles - it was something that I had always ignored.....so thanks for bringing these things up. Will make me take that little bit more time to get things set up right next time!
Since you nailed exposure down already, this will be a walk in the park. Glad it was informative!
A trick that I learned for getting filters is that you always wanna buy the filter for the largest size lens you have in terms of diameter. Then if you need need to put it on a smaller lens you can just buy a step down ring to make it fit as opposed to buying several filters for all your lenses
That is exactly what I do - good call!
I have watched enough videos of this nature to safety say that this is the best! ...to the point, examples every step of the way... Awesome! Thank you! This is the fourth of your videos I have watched. Subbed, liked, and also hit that bell.
Oh wow... I'm so glad it was useful. I never know if I put in enough or too much detail, so I super appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. Thank you also for the support! Are you using an SL2? What lenses?
@@TechGearTalk Actually, I ordered the SL2 right after I finished commenting here. You influenced that purchase. It should be in my hands tomorrow. I own an Olympus, and a Minolta SLR...very, very old cameras. I have not used them in ages. Once I went DSLR, I stopped using the old SLR cameras. I own a Canon EOS Rebel, also very, very old (XTi). Now it was time for me to upgrade. I wanted the movie option. The lens I am getting is the one included with the camera (EF-S 18-55mm STM Lens). I have a few other lenses that I have purched previously, including a macro lens. Thank you so much for all the information you are putting out there, and in the manner in which you do. You are a natural when it comes to teaching. I should know. I have been a high school teacher for the past 36 years. I will continue to come back to your channel to learn some more from you.
Would love to know what you think once you get it. I will do my best to continue and provide you with valuable information 🙏
I have an 80D, but it's similar to 200D for the video making
very Helpful tutorial, Thanks!
Excellent, you'll be able to do things exactly the same way. Let me know if you have any questions.
I'm just starting my UA-cam channel and I have the Canon G7X Mark III. Your Video is helping me soooo much understanding my camera and about filming! Awesome Video! Thank you!
CONGRATS on getting a G7XIII and starting your channel. So glad the video is helpful. Welcome to the channel!
Thank you so much! This is the first video I've seen that you made, and it so simple and helpful! Thanks for the work you put into this.
Appreciate the kind words Robert. Glad that it was helpful.
I really want the sl2 ive heard very little negativity about it but so much good for the price and you keep helping me get more info about it along with many others thank you youve been inspiring for me as a (almost) beginner film maker
It's going to be really hard to beat the SL2 as far as value goes. I'm super glad that I am able to help with your journey.
Thx so much!!!! I was so affraid to start on video.... being doing photo for quite a long time... was very clear. Gracias !
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for joining the community!
Great great video. So we'll done. So thorough but to the point. I have struggled with putting all these concepts together until now. You just changed my field of view from a 125mm lens to a 22mm lens.
I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful. Let me know if you have any followup questions.
what a good tutorial.. very informative for a beginner like me. i am taking note this man, thank you
Hey bro...thank you so much for this video...it really helped me alot...was running into problems with my sl2 but this video helped thanks again
That was awesome man. I own a 200D (SL2) and lately I've been thinking about selling it and buying a different one, like 6D mark 2, or even the huge step of buying the EOS R, which definitely are much better cameras than the SL2, although they are way more expensive!!!, but you got me thinking here. Thanks again. New supporter here
Glad it was useful and appreciate your support. I really like the EOS R image quality, but as you mentioned, it doesn't come for free. Smart move to just wait a bit longer and see.
A very cool and informative video. This helps me decide what to get as a beginner camera for videography and filmmaking. Thanks bro. Love here from the Philippines 👍.
Glad it was helpful!
Literally I'm thinking, is it worth to buy this 200d so i search in UA-cam and your video showed up... I watched it... Now i'm gonna buy it... Thanks brother.. ✌️
Glad I could help brother
I love all the details you included in here. I'm not sure I'll use them all in the future, but it's great to know that this camera can do that!
Super glad you liked it. As you mentioned, even if you just use some of them now and add as you go, I think it would be helpful.
Do you have a 200d?
@@TechGearTalk I had the SL1 and just bought the sl3. (I was going to buy the Sl2 but it appears the SL3 was very similar and only a few dollars more expensive, so that's what I got.) Can't wait to delve deeper into the settings.
Awesome, congrats! Here is my unboxing if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/N-NcwX5IU1s/v-deo.html I'm working on 3 more SL3 videos right now ;)
Very nice job! I'm had my SL2 for nearly two years and never adjusted the settings. I'm excited to apply what i've learned.
So glad it was helpful Jason. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help.
Ok this was a very helpful video about shooting cinematic. I like how you can shoot flat as well with free software
So glad it was helpful. I love that you can get good footage with an entry level camera.
Your videos have been a great help! Thank you!
I'm so glad they are being useful. Thank you for taking the time to share that with me.
Best cinematic SL2 video tutorial available! Thanks!
Thanks so much Brian. I really appreciate the kind words.
This was incredible! Best tutorial for my SL2 I’ve ever seen! Well done man you’re quality 😭😭
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
very inspiring. as the owner of an SL2, i purchased it for the dual pixel autofocus. i have read plenty of web slams about the soft 1080p, canon mp4 codec. sure, it's not 4k. sure, it's not the sharpest footage. that said, there is something very appealing about the image, especially since so much of the footage we see is distributed on the web. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i look forward to ANY and ALL SL2 vids you post. BIG thumbs up for a job well done.
Glad it was inspiring. Yup, I heard all the same stuff you're talking about. But for the price, I can't think of a better value. I've got more coming!
smalltalk.productions It’s a fantastic camera for the money especially considering the affordable decent quality STM lenses.
Great point about the affordable lens options @Tamas Varga
You're the man! I have the SL2 and definitely appreciate this. Haven't started filming with it yet but this was great!
Thanks for checking it out and glad you liked it!
This is a great tutorial! I’ve had the 200D for a year and use it a lot in my UA-cam videos. I get very nice video right out of the camera but would like to get the most from this handy, small dslr. I’ll check out your color grading video next. Thanks👊🏻
Glad it was helpful! let me know what you think of the color grading!
