Woohoo! So glad!

Lololol fair

For the t3i? Honestly the best thing is just using manual focus

Shoot!! Sorry to hear that. Yeah it definitely has its downsides.

That's awesome! Yeah autofocus with it is good. I'm not a fan of manual though. Yeah honestly you can still get some really good shots with it. Just doesn't fit the role of a 'wide' lens for me personally!

Dang. Yeah I bet you're right. I guess it's either 'good lens' or 'small lens' for now

Glad to hear!!

Shoot. Thanks man. I have been thinking a lot about it lately tbh...

Of course!! Glad it was helpful!

Weird! I've never had this. I wonder if you can do like a factory reset on the camera, maybe that would help? Also try and get a new SD card. It could be corrupted!

@@_jacob.brownn yeah, I bought it on FB and then it started doing this the next day. I'll have to look into a factory reset because all I've be able to do is "clear settings". Thanks for the ideas! It happens every time I go into video mode, and sometimes when taking pictures. I'll give a new SD card a whirl. I've been using a 10mb/s write speed SD card.

Dang. That sucks. And yeah 10 should be plenty fast, maybe that's not it. Good luck! Maybe some forums could help too. I don't know many for cameras but I'm sure theyre out there. Or reddit too?

Heck that's awesome! So glad. And your videos look great!!

It sure is! Hm that's a tough one. Lots a questions: what's the budget, what do you need that you don't have with the 70D, what are you using it for, etc?

Wow, I had no idea. I guess at that far away it doesn't need high pixel density lol! Thanks for the info!

Hmmm that's fair. Depends what kind of photography I guess - but still would say there are better 1st photography cameras in this price range. The bad autofocus also affects photography when not using the viewfinder, and if you want to use a monitor for photography you'll have issues, but yeah other than that the rest is video downsides. Definitely a good point though.

@@_jacob.brownn Thanks! Coming from 35mm and medium format film photography, the idea of using a sensor as opposed to a viewfinder is very foreign to me. But I never had a problem with autofocus, perhaps because, in the film world autofocus was a rarity and even the T3i's autofocus seemed magical in comparison! I got my T3i in 2012 new. Unfortunately a year or so later I had to stop photography due to a (misdiagnosed) hand problem. Finally, years later I got a proper diagnosis and the correct surgery and the hand is back. SO I pulled my old T3i and various lenses out of storage. First thing I did was a shutter activation count - 2340 activations! Basically a new T3i. To make a longer story shorter, I got the wildlife/bird bug so got an R7 with the RF100-400 for wildlife and the RF24-105 for more general use when out with the R7. I use my T3i for wide angle/landscape type work with my 10-18EF-s and a 24 f2.8 ef-s (when I want a bit more aperture). I still have the original 18-35 and 55-250 I got with the T3i and they come in handy from time to time as well. The results from the T3i are quite beautiful, in some cases bettering the R7 using a EF/EF-S to RF converter for those wide lenses. Sometimes packing too many pixels into an asp-c sensor can bring its own issues and 32.5MP is pretty well packing it in! GREAT for wildlife, action etc but for the more contemplative wide angle/landscape shots I like the T3i look/feel more. It is a bit closer to the film feel. It is also nice as a street camera since, at worst, I am at risk for a much cheaper setup than the R7! Anyway, thanks again for your reply. It was more polite than my initial comment! LOL

Nice!!! I hope it serves you well!

So glad!!

Thanks! Yeah it seems like good advice, but I haven't followed it completely haha! I try to 😅

It's such a good camera! I've heard great things about the 6D as well. These older cameras are at such a good price point right now, and still very relevant!

@@_jacob.brownn for real the EF lens are a steal right now. And they work well with the mirrorless! And last forever!

Yes exactly haha!

It sure is. And yes, this was shot on the 70D!

@@_jacob.brownn 🙌

Ha, nice! Good luck, hope it turns out!

@@_jacob.brownn Got it today. So far so good. Does what it says on the tin.

Ohhh bet! Have fun using and learning it. You can really get some good stuff out of it

Hi! I guess it depends. If it's live Tv, I'm guessing that would be a huge obstacle. But if it's recorded, then the issue would be having to deal with the poor monitor output if you use a display while recording to monitor

Haha nice!! Thanks! 😊

Thanks!

Hey Tristan! I'm so glad to hear that! Have fun messing around with it. The SL1 is a great camera!!

Thanks so much! I used to use Premiere Pro, but I solely use Davinci Resolve now. I highly recommend it, it's free for what you'd need, and very powerful!

Tbh I have no idea. Sorry man, I've never used that Gimbal before!!

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Sentry! Yes, I actually use the t3i as my work webcam, and it's great! But it will only support the clean HDMI out on their own software as far as I can tell. For focus locking, yes! Since it doesn't autistic continuously, just focus it once and don't worry about it, or turn the lens to manual if you want to be safe. And yes, I LOVE the side tray for the SD card!! My T6 with the bottom tray was super annoying

Definitely. I think this is an EXCELLENT beginner camera!! It's one of the cheapest ways to get into the hobby

Of course! Scanning on a HQ scanner may work better but this would for sure work

Pretty good! I'd say you could get it for cheaper but everything is more expensive now!

Of course! Personally, my next favorite is the Canon 70D. It has clean HDMI out and continuous autofocus. It's also pretty cheap, but more than this camera for sure. I got mine on eBay for like 300 if I remember right!

@@_jacob.brownn 70D better than the Lumix G7?

Depends on your needs! That may be better for you. I think that may be a little pricier? I don't know a ton about that camera

Thanks man! I just turn the sharpness/contrast/saturation all the way down on the profile

@@_jacob.brownn thanks man.. appreciate it

Very true! You can get a lot out of an old camera if you know what you're doing. But it usually takes a lot more time and effort too!

Hi Stealth Star, I guess it depends where you are coming from! If you want to be a DP or in film of any kind you are totally spot on. But if you just want to want KZbin videos or short films personally, then I'd say this feature is very important. Not everyone has access to a camera assistant or focus puller, and even camera operators rarely pull their own focus. Honestly though I definitely put this one too high on the list either way!!

I honestly don't know much on that camera, sorry!

I guess when I refer to continuous autofocus, I mean focus that is continuous throughout video, so yes a 'lock'! But in reality all autofocus during video on this camera is pretty useless!

Wow, nice upgrade!

It does go by fast haha!

t3i is a superb camera. further, i agree with you regarding that this kid is reviewing it as though it is a video cam. also, the t3i does in fact have continuos autofocus; it is named as 'focus lock'.

Honestly not trying to bash it! Just showing some of the video specific features that it lacks. And you are totally right, for photography it's pretty good!
