Here's an updated camera setup, all of my equipment + how I film my videos in 2018! ua-cam.com/video/LFBnGOtTvv0/v-deo.html (You can always check out my full list of gear here: lavendaire.com/gear) Make sure you check out the other videos in this content creator series: ▸ Advice on Starting a UA-cam Channel & Blog | bit.ly/27S7nMU ▸ How to Start a Podcast | bit.ly/1Y7Q8D5
Thank you! I found these videos just in time for Cyber Monday. Yay!💕. I currently use the Canon EOS M10 for vlogging, but really want a better DSLR for my YT channel. Happy Holidays to you!
Since you have an 80D, it has wifi on it. And if you have an iPhone or any type of Android, you can download the Canon App for free and use it as a remote as well.You can adjust f-stop, shutter & ISO as well as save the photos from your camera directly to your phone without importing to your computer and send them to your phone/web. Very Convenient
FYI for all my bloggers who use Wordpress - I personally use & highly recommend using StudioPress to make life so much easier. It's an add-on to Wordpress that handles site security, advanced SEO, and optimized performance, basically streamlines all the back-end tech stuff so you don't have to deal with it! More info here: bit.ly/2juc7In
For people who can't get Photoshop, I recommend Gimp (I have Gimp 2). It's free and it does the job really well, it's very easy to use and you get do a lot of cool creative stuff on it :)

Hey, I am planning on vlogging later this year. Do you know of a DSLR with a flip screen, auto focus, and image stabilization, and that works really well in low light?
Filmmaking 101 ... if you are into making videos and are in need for some advice in making your process more fluent (like this clapping trick that has been used in films since audio was introduced via external recorders) - I suggest you watch channels like DSLRguide where the topics are more into making your productions better via tips and tricks like these.
Thank you! I started watching your videos on organization so I can study more effectively and from there on I've really admired your video quality and editing. I tried making my friend a birthday collage video and that took me 3-4 hours lol so yeah lots of love and appreciation for all the hard work you put in your videos. And thank you so much for sharing with your followers. Truly grateful!
AAAAHHHHH!!! I found an old TriPod from my dad which I've used for *YEARS!* It has sand stuck in it, but it gets the job done for now. Would love to eventually update though. 😅Thanks for this!
I loved this video but I also have to suggest for editing video, custom build a desktop. I built one from the ground up with ASUS Z170 Deluxe Motherboard, I have 2TB SSD and 3TB Solid state additional storage drive (external USB style but housed inside the tower), 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, Intel i7 quad core processor, and ASUS GeForce GTX PCI express video card. Between that, the chill tower, the other drives and PC full size tower, I spent about $2,600 BUT with DDR4 RAM and USB 3.0 and 3.1 slots I am future proofed for awhile. There is never ANY lag and I can easily export videos to take and share on a laptop after they're processed. You will be amazed at how much faster you can download and upload files from your camera, produce video, and upload projects to memory stick or other hard drives. This is only a suggestion, but i don't see how anyone could go wrong. ♥
Love this! I ended up getting the 70D. By the way, do you think you can make a video on your UA-cam journey, ie how often you posted when you started, tips on what you've learned gets more views, etc.?
I started making video as well and my macbook became so slow!i hate it im thinking about switching to dell instead. Thanks Ailleen for sharing we love u
with some of the new editing software it does all the work for you with finial cut X select the audio and video and you can make a SYNC clip getting everything in sync with premiere CC you drop the audio and video files select them on the time line right click and sync everting is synced . have used booth and they are booth good
SUPER HUGE SHOUTOUT TO YOU!!!! I'm really thinking about starting a blog, podcast and revamping/reviving my youtube channel and i've been watching your videos and literally taking notes for a solid 2 hours. thanks a bunch, these videos are super helpful!
10:35. “Get the biggestt drive you can afford.” Remember folks, you can have a ton of speed, but if you go with a larger hard drive, patience is all that is required for those long renders! Besides, look into getting your rig setup with a “hardware or software raid”. Raided 0 hard drives will speed up your rendering!
Really informative. Thanks! I did not know the clapperboard was to sync audio and video for movies. Also...love those Seagate slim dives. I use one, too!
You're just outstanding! I could set here and watch your videos all day long. I'm thinking about starting a UA-cam channel about photography. Your videos and info have been very helpful.
Me: watches vid Ad comes up Me: dang it Ad: “if you want to become a good photographer you need good lighting” Me: skips ad Her: you need good lighting Me: wUt.
We use the Nikon D5600 for or camera and the Rode shot gun mic. So far it has been a great set up for us until we get larger. We started with natural light and found that we where not getting that great of quality in our videos. So we found some great light on amazon for pretty cheap and it was amazing how much better our videos look. As far as editing we tried Adobe premiere but we ended up going back to Imovie. It seemed to be a lot more user friendly. Our favorite think to use for thumbnails is Gimp. It is a free software that is as powerful as photo shop and there are a bunch of great how to videos for it.
Thanks, but my english is not perfect, is a impression your haha I need learn english until september and I have difficult. are you know videos with subtitle in english for to indicate for me? please... i will stay very happy. Very!
Thank you sweetness, I am not a kid who understands all new tech(in my fifties) but I was a on air dj many years ago, all analogue you just cut the tape and spliced it, super easy, but watching so many vids to learn this I am doing an educational YT about certain drugs and it's an urgent calling so I need to know how to do this, I have no idea how to upload but will learn. Anyway after watching yours I don't have to look at any others except I know sound and I need a shotgun mic overhead for real big warm tones, but you just showed me everything I need to know to film them and find you refreshingly calm instead of everyone screaming and jumping like they are on crack or something. If I indeed get an audience they will be people whose nervous systems are shot so I have to talk softly, calmly and reassuring that's why the overhead. So thank you now I can get some sleep lol...
Thank you so much for the advise on recording on an Iphone. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. And I can't believe how easy it is using your advise.
Yes I use my Galaxy for sound. Great tips here and I have both those tripods. The grey one when I was shooting with my phone and the black one for panning when I bought my Cannon. I have a Manfrotto but for a stabilizer. Great minds think alike!
Lavendaire thank you for responding fast! Now, I can make sure if I ever get one, since I’ve been told that I might be gifted on for Christmas, I’ll get a lens! 😁
This video was very helpful to me personally. I saved it and kept coming back to it until I was able to finally make my first UA-cam video. The lighting tip was my fav! Thank you
How do you edit videos using your hard external drive? Is your editing program on your computer? I'd be interested to know how you do that because it takes my videos a long time to render in iMovie (which is resident on my Macbook.) Thanks for any info on this.
The external HD is just another drive to the computer. But since it has to go thru the USB port it will not be fast. The best idea is to have an SSD as your O/S drive and use it to put your videos on. That way things are the fastest they can be. Then once you are finished copy all files to backup (an external drive).
hi Eileen...coming back to your video because you give such clear, awesome advice. ^^ My question is...what do you suggest for amplifying voices? The reason I'm considering getting a mic is because my voice is quite soft and when I'm filming and using the mic from my camera or even my iphone (I tried as you suggested), the volume is still very low and even when I'm editing I can't bring up the volume to a good level. I don't want to be holding a mic like the ones singers use though...any advice? :)
Wow! I am new to your channel. I watched a lot of videos like this and they were okay, but yours I definitely saved for when I'm ready to start buying my things. This was VERY informative and helped me a lot. Thank you. Can't wait to check out your other videos
Great video and thanks a lot for your help with the equipment. I am a casual UA-camr but now looking to step up my game. Came across your channel and found your content very helpful. Subbed 😉
I made the crucial mistake of not buying the "i" version of the T6. The "i" has all the features that you want in your Canon and it costs more but definitely worth the investment. I since returned the Canon Rebel EOS T6 and have a Canon 70D arriving on Friday. Rode mic is already here!
Thank you SO MUCH Aileen, this was extremely helpful! I was a little confused about the last part... Is the external drive you're using an SSD (solid state drive)? Thanks!
Mama Yom SSD means Solid State Drive and is extremely fast, but is usually soldered onto the computer motherboard. But there are some external drives that are pretty close to SSD read and write speeds.
There are SSD external drives readily available but you will still be limited by the computers interface i.e USB 3.0 so your looking at transfer rates of approx 100mbps which is not really good for editing files from. As Aileen mentioned, get your files copied onto your computer hard disk and edit from there. When you are finished you can use the external drives to back up all the large video files thus making space on your computer for your next editing session. personally I use 2Tb or 3Tb standard external drives (not SSD) as you get so much more storage for your money and the only real difference is slightly longer file copying times. A small price to pay. And remember you'll always be limited by USB speeds and thunderbold interface on the macbook isn't much faster than usb 3.0..... Thanks Aileen for an awesome upload. excellent content!
SSD drives on USB 3.0 ports give you around 200mbps transfer so double the file transfer speed of a conventional drive..... check macworld article....www.macworld.com/article/2039427/how-fast-is-usb-3-0-really-.html
Thanks for this info, so helpful for me just starting out with my channel. I have a lot of the equipment already as I do photography as a hobby... but video is a whole new world. Will definitely use your series for tips !
Great video. I'm a tech review UA-camr and I even learned something. Thanks for the tip about the iPhone video recorder app. I subscribed just because of this video.
Another important lesson, make multiple backups of all your important work. Keep different copies in different places. One at your place, a back up at your mom's and another backup in a vault at the north pole. You just never know when crap will happen.
Hi! After you record, edit, and publish a UA-cam video, do you delete the original footage to free up space in your hard drive? If not, how do you back up those videos? Also does the Canon Rebel series have good auto focus? How does it compare to the 80d? Thanks!
Thank you for this video!! I'm a life coach and I just started a channel in the same niche as yours, and you are such an inspiration to me!! Since I'm just starting out, I'm using a stack of books as a "camera stand", and only a Ring light I made myself. What lighting do you recommend for beginners, that isn't too expensive?? and also, a good camera?
I did a lot of youtube until college, then I gave away ALL of my equipment :\ so I'm starting all over. I really miss my Canon 60D :( Probably gonna get a rebel next... I remember having the nicest camera in college and now i'm completely downgrading! Anyway, thanks for all the tech recommendations :) OMFG the clap! This is genius! I am in the process of getting a mic but need to record audio like.. today. Ugh this is so good THANK YOU
Yeah, all the material and projects, you save those on the harddrive. You import the footage in the project that is on the harddrive. Otherwise the project won't see any footage and claims it as lost.
You can buy a boom setup to fit that Rode mic for about $50 including a 25' mic extension cord. That would allow you the ability to put the mic closer to you and be out of the frame at the same time.
There are some wonderful cheap usb mics out there. If you're interested in reviews for them I'd consider checking out my channel as I post this type of content quite regularly.
I shoot with a Canon 700D with a Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens and i use the rode pro shot gun mike for audio or the rode lepel make for audio. If i do upgrade in the future i will most likely go a full frame camera.
Newer viewers: Canva is amazing for creating thumbnails, intro & outro videos, and even let's you animate different parts. It also has a free version! 😊 I just discovered it and my mind is blown.
Good job making this video! Please ignore the 200 dislikes, maybe it wasn't what they were expecting to see or hear but it was perfect. Pay more attention to the 6500 LIKES! That's most important! :) As a fellow video creator, I appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the great work! Happy New Year! Cheers!
I would like to say this was the first ever video I looked at to learn how to get into vlogging. Been vlogging like crazy ever since. Thanks for the video.
Do not get a T6i! If you are going to buy a T6i, you can get a 70D for around the same price which is a small step down from the new 80D. The Ti's series are great and all, but if you want better stability then go with the 70D. If you have a little less to spend then go with the T5i or T4i!
Labib Hoque I have not used the Nikon cameras myself, but I have associates of mine who have used both the 70D and Nikon cameras and say they are equally matched when it comes to image quality! I myself cannot attest to that because I never used Nikon! I have been using Canon since Canon started making cameras! :) I have four 70D's which I love and so far I have found no reason to upgrade or switch! I just suggest people buy one of those over a Ti' series because the 70D's are about the same price!
+Flightguy69 Do you think The T6s is a better buy for the money?I'm telling that because 70D is li'l bit expensive with lenses and other accesories honestly.
Labib Hoque Being the T6s is about a 100.00 cheaper and is slightly better in specs then the 70D, I would purchase the T6s! I am looking at the camera bodies only! 70D is 799.00 and the T6s is 679.00 www.42photo.com/Product/canon-eos-rebel-t6s-24-2-megapixel-dslr-camera-body-/113392 The specs are generally a little better with the T6s so if I was a new buyer and starting out, then I would go with the T6s! sometimes you can find some great package deals on eBay!
+Flightguy69 this will be my first.I thinking to buy the T6s body with 18-135mm STM & 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens + Maybe 32gb card(is there'll be storage problem if i use 16gb,will it run out fast?)+An extra battery(the battery life seems poor)+if i can then a mic like rode videomic go and a Bag.Didn't thought of a tripod yet. What do you think about this package?Is it good or it needs some modifications?
yes i use manual focus for my sigma lens when doing talking vlogs. had the remote since the old camera. i use autofocus with my new canon lens when I'm shooting b-roll :)
Thank you for sharing all this info. What sort of issues are you having with the mic? I’ve been so unlucky with 2 of the mics I bought and I have just ordered the one you are using but seen mixed reviews.
Just discovered you. Love this. Thanks!! I am getting started on youtube and this added some really practical info. I love it that you say what works and... what doesn't. Superb advice. On top of that you are smart, young, new gen, great looking, fast and all. Gee. I might be hooked.
almost all external hard drives are spinning disks. these hard drives aren't very fast for copying/loading files. whenever you can you should edit off of your computers hard drive. if you'd like to still be able to edit of a external drive you'll need a ssd (solid state drive). Those cost much more but it is totally worth it.
Well external drives should be used for backup storage or slow retrieval storage ... but saying that if you video is a blog which is just a bunch of jump cuts then that probably won't slow the process down that much. Just be aware that traffic thru a USB is way slower than going to your computers local HD (preferably an SSD on your computer for O/S and to edit videos with is ideal)
I’m still in the researching phase but this video was soooooooo helpful. I especially loved the audio tip with the clapping. Now I understand why I see videos where the audio is out of sync.
Who else is binge watching these types of videos in 2017 to improve your channel? Me, lol, my channel literally won't grow :( and I am not sure why... I tag my videos properly same with titles, thumbnails, etc. and I even have a mini tripod, an actual tripod, a camera, a good setup, and moreeee! what is going on? lol
i got most of my following from facebook. so i suggest you combine social media content. meaning post in multiple places. i don’t have a huge following. about 4500
Loved this video! Thank you for all this helpful advice! Feeling inspired! I'm in the process of launching my own UA-cam lifestyle channel featuring Design DIY, Decorating & Entertaining tips.
Thanks for this video. So helpful and very informative and i love how you are not boring too watch and ramble too much. Great advice as well. My question is on editing your video to add music, graphics or adding special effects, how do you do it? Video tutorial soon? Thanks a lot
Please help me, I have a Canon eos 600D and I recently hot myself a videomic go, BUT the sound is just not great? There's a hissing noise in the background even though I have tried Manual on my camera sound settings. Please help me
i-ve bought some time ago a canon 70D body + 17-55 2.8 lens. (I have not used it much, because meanwhile .. Huawei P 10 Plus arrived.) The fact is, I didn't no so well my camera's functions, as you do. Respect, good job, useful video !
Great content. Thanks for the tips. Helps a lot to have someone with experience give you some ins and outs. I also like that you didn't try to push the most expensive camera and even suggested to get a used one. Makes you very down to earth. Thanks again :)

I like how your honest in this vid cause other youtubers only suggest the equipment they use but you show ways how to do it differently
Love this! I ended up getting the 70D. By the way, do you think you can make a video on your UA-cam journey, ie how often you posted when you started, tips on what you've learned gets more views, etc.?
I just began with a TV studio and your videos have been of massive support. Thank you .. Much love.
Getting into UA-cam is hard man. But hopefully everyone is figuring it out. I hope I can too. Great video.
I started making video as well and my macbook became so slow!i hate it im thinking about switching to dell instead. Thanks Ailleen for sharing we love u

Lilreeces10 Thanks! Almost 30k now!
WanderingTulip XD Awesome!
The clap idea is simply superb. I've been seeing this challenging all these years.. thank you for the wonderful tip.
I LOVE using natural lighting. It gives amazing results! Oh and picmonkey is my life. Sometimes I just play around with the features for fun xD
-Jess
This was really good. I like the part about using the "snap" sound to sync audio. Having a remote control for the camera is a good idea too. Thanks!
Thank you for your time spent on this video it was very helpful for me

Literally answering all the questions I had in my head
Me too
GIMP is also a good image producer. I've always used it for mine but I haven't started to truly learn it until this year but I feel it's paying off.
Great video.I watch lots of video and like them few but rarely comment . U explained thinks very well and honesty. Good job
Thank you so much for the advise on recording on an Iphone. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. And I can't believe how easy it is using your advise.
you rock!!
Yes I use my Galaxy for sound. Great tips here and I have both those tripods. The grey one when I was shooting with my phone and the black one for panning when I bought my Cannon. I have a Manfrotto but for a stabilizer. Great minds think alike!
Love the camera! I use the same one.
whats up spencer
This may be a dumb question, but can you still shoot a video with a camera when you don’t have a lens?
No you need a lens
Lavendaire thank you for responding fast! Now, I can make sure if I ever get one, since I’ve been told that I might be gifted on for Christmas, I’ll get a lens! 😁
Your equipment is gold!
ikr
BryanENVY no. She spent enough to have great stuff, but made a lot of bad choices.
KaelinSaint nothing? Have you read my other comments on this video? Clearly I explained.

This video was very helpful to me personally. I saved it and kept coming back to it until I was able to finally make my first UA-cam video. The lighting tip was my fav! Thank you
How do you edit videos using your hard external drive? Is your editing program on your computer? I'd be interested to know how you do that because it takes my videos a long time to render in iMovie (which is resident on my Macbook.) Thanks for any info on this.
The external HD is just another drive to the computer. But since it has to go thru the USB port it will not be fast. The best idea is to have an SSD as your O/S drive and use it to put your videos on. That way things are the fastest they can be. Then once you are finished copy all files to backup (an external drive).
hi Eileen...coming back to your video because you give such clear, awesome advice. ^^ My question is...what do you suggest for amplifying voices? The reason I'm considering getting a mic is because my voice is quite soft and when I'm filming and using the mic from my camera or even my iphone (I tried as you suggested), the volume is still very low and even when I'm editing I can't bring up the volume to a good level. I don't want to be holding a mic like the ones singers use though...any advice? :)
"The ADD is great for auto focus." 😂
The irony!!😄
Peloky 2 years late but that’s hilarious
Wow! I am new to your channel. I watched a lot of videos like this and they were okay, but yours I definitely saved for when I'm ready to start buying my things. This was VERY informative and helped me a lot. Thank you. Can't wait to check out your other videos
Great video and thanks a lot for your help with the equipment. I am a casual UA-camr but now looking to step up my game. Came across your channel and found your content very helpful. Subbed 😉
:) awesome!
I made the crucial mistake of not buying the "i" version of the T6. The "i" has all the features that you want in your Canon and it costs more but definitely worth the investment. I since returned the Canon Rebel EOS T6 and have a Canon 70D arriving on Friday. Rode mic is already here!
Thank you SO MUCH Aileen, this was extremely helpful! I was a little confused about the last part... Is the external drive you're using an SSD (solid state drive)? Thanks!
it's not but i heard SSD is better from the comments.. haven't tried that tho
Mama Yom SSD means Solid State Drive and is extremely fast, but is usually soldered onto the computer motherboard. But there are some external drives that are pretty close to SSD read and write speeds.
There are SSD external drives readily available but you will still be limited by the computers interface i.e USB 3.0 so your looking at transfer rates of approx 100mbps which is not really good for editing files from. As Aileen mentioned, get your files copied onto your computer hard disk and edit from there. When you are finished you can use the external drives to back up all the large video files thus making space on your computer for your next editing session. personally I use 2Tb or 3Tb standard external drives (not SSD) as you get so much more storage for your money and the only real difference is slightly longer file copying times. A small price to pay. And remember you'll always be limited by USB speeds and thunderbold interface on the macbook isn't much faster than usb 3.0..... Thanks Aileen for an awesome upload. excellent content!
SSD drives on USB 3.0 ports give you around 200mbps transfer so double the file transfer speed of a conventional drive..... check macworld article....www.macworld.com/article/2039427/how-fast-is-usb-3-0-really-.html
Thanks for this info, so helpful for me just starting out with my channel. I have a lot of the equipment already as I do photography as a hobby... but video is a whole new world. Will definitely use your series for tips !
Great video. I'm a tech review UA-camr and I even learned something. Thanks for the tip about the iPhone video recorder app. I subscribed just because of this video.
nice!
Best tip ever!
The best practical suggestions I've seen in a long time. Kudos to you for publishing this really useful vid.
7:00 - Oh, I guess I learn something new! :D
haha yup!
+Lavendaire Thank you for sharing. I use adobe premiere too.
This was one of the best videos I have ever seen about video set up. Thank you for posting.
Panasonic G7 best auto focus very goody camera
Another important lesson, make multiple backups of all your important work. Keep different copies in different places. One at your place, a back up at your mom's and another backup in a vault at the north pole. You just never know when crap will happen.
I'm at 6k subs and I've been using my phone the whole time
what phone did you use?
Hi! After you record, edit, and publish a UA-cam video, do you delete the original footage to free up space in your hard drive? If not, how do you back up those videos? Also does the Canon Rebel series have good auto focus? How does it compare to the 80d? Thanks!
the biggest thank you to you!! learned sooo much!
UA-cam Recommended me your Video and i must say I appreciate a person who knows what they're talking about.
Thank you for this video!! I'm a life coach and I just started a channel in the same niche as yours, and you are such an inspiration to me!! Since I'm just starting out, I'm using a stack of books as a "camera stand", and only a Ring light I made myself. What lighting do you recommend for beginners, that isn't too expensive?? and also, a good camera?
I love your voice
you'll love my look.
So nice
I did a lot of youtube until college, then I gave away ALL of my equipment :\ so I'm starting all over. I really miss my Canon 60D :( Probably gonna get a rebel next... I remember having the nicest camera in college and now i'm completely downgrading! Anyway, thanks for all the tech recommendations :)
OMFG the clap! This is genius! I am in the process of getting a mic but need to record audio like.. today. Ugh this is so good THANK YOU
How do you edit video off of your hard drive love ?
you just save all the files onto the harddrive and edit them on your computer/laptop.
Thank you! Uploading them from the hard drive on to the editing software as well?
Yeah, all the material and projects, you save those on the harddrive. You import the footage in the project that is on the harddrive. Otherwise the project won't see any footage and claims it as lost.
Thank you so much love !
No problem!
You can buy a boom setup to fit that Rode mic for about $50 including a 25' mic extension cord. That would allow you the ability to put the mic closer to you and be out of the frame at the same time.
I have a Nikon D3400 it doesn't have a Mic port, do they have USB mics or something?
There are some wonderful cheap usb mics out there. If you're interested in reviews for them I'd consider checking out my channel as I post this type of content quite regularly.
Can you link me to some?
Deangelo Scott shameless plug
Endlar Filmations it should have a mic port, D3300 have it
Ride With Rahul D3400 doesn't, don't believe me search it up
I shoot with a Canon 700D with a Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens and i use the rode pro shot gun mike for audio or the rode lepel make for audio. If i do upgrade in the future i will most likely go a full frame camera.
thank you, this was helpful!
Newer viewers: Canva is amazing for creating thumbnails, intro & outro videos, and even let's you animate different parts. It also has a free version! 😊 I just discovered it and my mind is blown.
Good job making this video! Please ignore the 200 dislikes, maybe it wasn't what they were expecting to see or hear but it was perfect. Pay more attention to the 6500 LIKES! That's most important! :) As a fellow video creator, I appreciate what you are doing. Keep up the great work! Happy New Year! Cheers!
thank you & happy new year :)
Great Video! I am super new to making videos and love watching things like this and learning what other people use to make theirs!
Thank you for the clap tingy...learned something new today... ;-)
Same, I used to suffer trying to sync my audios 😭
I would like to say this was the first ever video I looked at to learn how to get into vlogging. Been vlogging like crazy ever since.
Thanks for the video.
Do not get a T6i! If you are going to buy a T6i, you can get a 70D for around the same price which is a small step down from the new 80D. The Ti's series are great and all, but if you want better stability then go with the 70D. If you have a little less to spend then go with the T5i or T4i!
What about the Still image quality of the 70D?Are they good as the nikon competitors??
Labib Hoque
I have not used the Nikon cameras myself, but I have associates of mine who have used both the 70D and Nikon cameras and say they are equally matched when it comes to image quality!
I myself cannot attest to that because I never used Nikon! I have been using Canon since Canon started making cameras! :)
I have four 70D's which I love and so far I have found no reason to upgrade or switch!
I just suggest people buy one of those over a Ti' series because the 70D's are about the same price!
+Flightguy69 Do you think The T6s is a better buy for the money?I'm telling that because 70D is li'l bit expensive with lenses and other accesories honestly.
Labib Hoque
Being the T6s is about a 100.00 cheaper and is slightly better in specs then the 70D, I would purchase the T6s!
I am looking at the camera bodies only!
70D is 799.00 and the T6s is 679.00
www.42photo.com/Product/canon-eos-rebel-t6s-24-2-megapixel-dslr-camera-body-/113392
The specs are generally a little better with the T6s so if I was a new buyer and starting out, then I would go with the T6s!
sometimes you can find some great package deals on eBay!
+Flightguy69 this will be my first.I thinking to buy the T6s body with 18-135mm STM & 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens + Maybe 32gb card(is there'll be storage problem if i use 16gb,will it run out fast?)+An extra battery(the battery life seems poor)+if i can then a mic like rode videomic go
and a Bag.Didn't thought of a tripod yet.
What do you think about this package?Is it good or it needs some modifications?
Spanish subtitles are available! Click "CC" and check the video settings 💕
"I bought the 80D because of its amazing auto focus" - "I use remote because I always use manual focus"
Bwahahaha
yes i use manual focus for my sigma lens when doing talking vlogs. had the remote since the old camera. i use autofocus with my new canon lens when I'm shooting b-roll :)
Thanks for your help! I'm currently studying media and this really helped!!
You should've gotten a G7 and bought some extra lenses and accessories.
g7x is a fixed lens point and shoot. DSLR cameras you can swap out lenses
David Reid That's why I said the G7. The G7 and and G7X are two totally different cameras! The G7 is a mirrorless camera.
Ahh my mistake.
David Reid No problem. I know my cameras lol
MFT equals poor low light and loads of noise. Also the video AF is incomparable to the 80d. The a6300 would have been a better alternative.
Thank you for sharing all this info. What sort of issues are you having with the mic? I’ve been so unlucky with 2 of the mics I bought and I have just ordered the one you are using but seen mixed reviews.
Like the vid but it's a canon g7x
Just discovered you. Love this. Thanks!! I am getting started on youtube and this added some really practical info. I love it that you say what works and... what doesn't. Superb advice. On top of that you are smart, young, new gen, great looking, fast and all. Gee. I might be hooked.
Why did you say gx7 did you mean g7x
You knew what she meant. Cut her some slack.
2andFro I wasn't trying to be mean I was just wondering
Aaron Wynn Vlogs cool.
no actually gx7 is a camera
no the gx7 is a camera
Really great video! I've been thinking about upgrading and this is really helpful. And that clapping idea was awesome!
NEVER USE AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE FOR EDITING (unless it's an ssd)
Films For Cheap could you tell why not?
almost all external hard drives are spinning disks. these hard drives aren't very fast for copying/loading files. whenever you can you should edit off of your computers hard drive. if you'd like to still be able to edit of a external drive you'll need a ssd (solid state drive). Those cost much more but it is totally worth it.
Well external drives should be used for backup storage or slow retrieval storage ... but saying that if you video is a blog which is just a bunch of jump cuts then that probably won't slow the process down that much. Just be aware that traffic thru a USB is way slower than going to your computers local HD (preferably an SSD on your computer for O/S and to edit videos with is ideal)
I’m still in the researching phase but this video was soooooooo helpful. I especially loved the audio tip with the clapping. Now I understand why I see videos where the audio is out of sync.
Who else is binge watching these types of videos in 2017 to improve your channel? Me, lol, my channel literally won't grow :( and I am not sure why... I tag my videos properly same with titles, thumbnails, etc. and I even have a mini tripod, an actual tripod, a camera, a good setup, and moreeee! what is going on? lol
MayaKikiKathryn where’s your vids?
One word - Content quality.
And well Luck too😋
i got most of my following from facebook. so i suggest you combine social media content. meaning post in multiple places. i don’t have a huge following. about 4500
What an absolutely superb, brilliantly presented video full of honest, realistic information. Thank you so much!
Can you clap for me instead Aileen?
Love how you knew the technical terms and reasons why Aperature is important in Camera Lenses. Great job!
Loved this video! Thank you for all this helpful advice! Feeling inspired! I'm in the process of launching my own UA-cam lifestyle channel featuring Design DIY, Decorating & Entertaining tips.
You are a very honest person and video was very good for a beginner like me. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video. So helpful and very informative and i love how you are not boring too watch and ramble too much. Great advice as well. My question is on editing your video to add music, graphics or adding special effects, how do you do it? Video tutorial soon? Thanks a lot
Please help me, I have a Canon eos 600D and I recently hot myself a videomic go, BUT the sound is just not great? There's a hissing noise in the background even though I have tried Manual on my camera sound settings. Please help me
i-ve bought some time ago a canon 70D body + 17-55 2.8 lens. (I have not used it much, because meanwhile .. Huawei P 10 Plus arrived.) The fact is, I didn't no so well my camera's functions, as you do. Respect, good job, useful video !
Great content. Thanks for the tips. Helps a lot to have someone with experience give you some ins and outs. I also like that you didn't try to push the most expensive camera and even suggested to get a used one. Makes you very down to earth. Thanks again :)
