FYI, typo in the shooting raw timestamp.

[@zoyai]

Would you ask this to Amazon or BestBuy?

[@miriamvonhall1543]

49:32 PAL is 25 fps not 24. You're welcome;)

[@subwarpspeed]

Miriam vonHall I was about to point it out too, our mains electricity is 50 hz so divided by 2 gives 25. Personally I dislike this being still being around in the menus without and good explanation. We are not recording to tape nor using that lower resolutions that was used for PAL or NTSC. As most smart devices and computers have a refresh rate of 30 times something (office computers 60, some gaming phones could be set to 90 or 120 etc) I tell everyone to set it to NTSC and I wish they stopped calling it that. Older people know they live in a PAL country and set it to that, when it is not relevant any longer.

[@aight365]

Dude im in love with your channel you are the best out there tbh! Much appreciated for making this tutorial! Also not sure why but the video was getting stuck at around half hour into the video. Lots of love from Israel keep it up👍

[@HudsonOutdoors]

Very well explained for beginners like me who have ZERO knowledge of cameras lol. Just purchase this camera and you were a huge part of that decision. Thank you for the awesome tutorial videos. Another sub for you👍

[@RAINDROP2427]

Same here ..

[@jesuspuga9001]

Hey, Tony: You are a natural teacher; with a soothing voice.

[@rx-heaven8934]

IKR!

[@machennii3336]

kinda reminds me of Bob Ross

[@Linda-pc4re]

I can't believe how much I learned in just the first 17 minutes! Fantastic.

[@jellocumshot]

Bro you not kidding I feel like I’ve absorbed so much I just keep watching the first 20 mins cuz I got ADHD but once I move on it’s finna be on for real

[@derekcook1000]

I learned an insane amount from this video. thank you so much for all this information. i’m new to photography and the SL2 will be my first DSLR and now i’m confident i know the majority of the controls. thanks again Tony!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad to help, Derek!

[@miaa628]

Exact same on my end. Just bough it as my first DSLR and Tony's tutorial helped enormously!

[@Seki952]

are you satisfied with 200d? i'm buying it in a few months

[@menslayer7019]

@@Seki952 yes

[@6Murphy]

Tony Enjoyed your video it kept me glued for an hour, well done I’m a fairly sort of new to photography, did a course two years ago but I’ve forgot most of the lessons. I now want to focus on learning again to use my Canon EOS 200D camera. I was just really inspired with your instructions, taking one step at a time, near the end of video my brain was not taking all in so I’ll watch again SOON. I have done videos, storey board, and exported them to DVD’s, but I forgot much of what I did. I used Video Studio to do them and I did burn then off to DVD’s.

[@jeetbania]

Mann this was probably one of my most productive 1 Hour watches!

[@daniyalahmedqureshi7831]

same. I salute him

[@candacechiaruttini52]

I just bought my first DSLR...and I’ve watched this 3 times! Of course I have ordered your book as well. Thanks Tony!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks, Candace! Enjoy!

[@eaglescout9901]

I was a beginner in 1977, Mamya 645,. Like many been through Hasselblad film, Nikon D70, 1st digital, etc, Now I just wanted something good and light for vacations, etc, This is it, not just for beginners. People reading this, learn the camera you own and stop wasting good money, its all you not the camera. Good luck to all... Love the one you're with!

[@jessicaaaro7492]

I purchased my first dslr camera this week and I'm so glad I picked the sl2! I'm so excited to open and play with it on christmas. By the way you explained details so wonderfully I will definitely be watching more of your videos to learn thanks!

[@LisasLife]

So glad you did a tutorial on this camera. It may be set more for the beginner, but I like it because it's light and affordable. Great for video. Thx for the vid.

[@SKYNET84AI]

lol beginner that's funny you get just has good if not better pics then any camera out there

[@jonathanRodriguez-vq4tb]

A camera does not define the beginner or distinguish the professional, if you know how to make good audiovisual content, you can make them with a cell phone, or with this canon sl2 with 5D 6D LUMIX GH5 in short, there is no equipment for beginner or pro, there is no perfect camera , only commercials ...!

[@1337Menace]

This is the best tutorial video on youtube across all genres

[@traviscberance8250]

Got my first camera for my birthday & Anniversary from my wife and this tutorial was the best....looking at this vid. for the second time now...thank you!

How do you guys like the camera? I’m considering buying it as my first dslr!!

Prashant Jhala its a really good camera, ive had it for a couple of weeks and you can take awesome photos with it. Im loving it, dont exitate ;) cheers

[@mazend.3562]

Thank you so much I just ordered this camera and It will be my first camera ever. This video is very helpful.

[@uniqueyoutubehandle]

I'm so thankful for this mini class! Gonna watch it multiple times...

[@noonediva1984]

I’m back holding my camera in hand doing step by step with him. I wish I could like this a million times. Thanks so much cause I felt so overwhelmed and had anxiety trying to figure out my new camera.

[@bluelunevideos]

This was the best one hour, nine minutes and 53 seconds I have spent since I got my camera a year and a half ago. I played along as I watched the video and already my photos are noticeably clearer and crisper. Thank you for a very concise and thorough tutorial.

[@AshtonFitness]

I haven't even finished watching the video, but I have to say that I am so impressed by it. I have no knowledge of cameras at all, but this tutorial makes this very esoteric subject much more accessible. Your presentation skills are amazing. Your descriptions are concise and informative. The brilliant camerawork shows us newbies exactly what you're talking about. I could go on and on about why this video is so helpful. You even went out of the way to timestamp each section of the video. You really do deserve your 1.2m subscribers. I can tell a lot of thought and preparation goes into your content. Thanks again for such a thorough and thoughtful tutorial.

[@jamesfullwood5054]

I am just getting back into photography after 20 years and I bought a Canon 200d. Its my first DSLR and this video has been instrumental in helping me to understand the digital aspects of my camera. Thank you for creating such great content.

[@Sbd222]

I just purchased my first camera ever and I learned more in this video than the past 3 weeks combined trying to figure it out on my own and watch other videos. I’m so glad I came across this! I like how you show the comparison photos to better explain the settings. Thanks so much! Great video! I’ll be watching this again.

[@DoubleTapDudes]

I named my SL2 "Greg" because of this video. Thank you and you're welcome.

[@KasraKlassics]

I don’t even want to be a photographer. I bought this for my hobby. This video was still GREAT! Thank you so much!

[@chrispewkreme]

This is by far one of the best reviews of the SL2 features. And also, by far, one of the best videos that goes over camera basics. You’ve got a great way of explaining and making things simple to understand! Thank you

[@StefanGenov7]

For the past 6 months I was looking for reviews comparison about Canon SL2 200d and two days ago I just bought my 200d and I found you're a video I can say 100% that your video is brilliant with so many details and you explain so nice I think you should get more credit for your videos especially for this one you help a lot of many people many thanks from London.

[@tinasailorportugal3114]

Outstanding!!! Not boring and you explain easily the important points... You talked about field aperture button... I was just waiting to check if you would talk about it... Very well... I'm not a beginner but it's always nice to watch videos like this! Congrats.

[@erictottman-trayner6976]

Hi Tony, I really enjoy your tutorials whether or not the camera in question is appropriate to my situation. I always learn something that increases my knowledge of cameras and photography in general. This is because you are a born communicator and teacher and this is evident in all your web-based and printed productions. This is a rare gift so I hope you and Chelsea will continue to produce this valuable and truly educational material.

[@devonbradford9217]

I stumbled on this video entirely by accident as i was ordering my new SL2 (to replace the Sony Alpha that I lost in Key West) I learned more about DSLR functions in your one tutorial than i had from years of owning that Sony. I'll be buying your book for sure!

[@amieiams68]

I’ll be visiting London in March and I suddenly realized I didn’t just want pictures taken with my phone. After lots of research I purchased the Cannon EOS Rebel SL2 on Black Friday last week. It was extremely intimidating. This camera is much fancier than any I’ve owned. This video is so helpful. You really made it easy to understand. So glad I found it. I’m sure I’ll watch it several more times to really get the hang of all the features.

[@ponceanthony]

I’ve had this camera for a year and had no idea what most of those buttons did! Thank you!!

[@viasummerseye6095]

I've had the SL2 for over a year and i still found your video to be relevant, well thought out, and informative!!! Thank you!! Saving to my watch later list so i can come back to it when ever i forget something 😌

[@Badonicus]

Fantastic camera. My first DSLR. Great tutorial too. Gave me some good tips on how to improve my photography.

[@SPMindra]

Super passionate and educated explanations of this particular camera. No wonder you have over 1million subscribers. Keep up the great work. Thanking you in advance, Tony.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Glad I could help!

this is the first video iv ever invested more than 10 mins on. Let alone an hour, Im definitely buying the book. Really went done man. Thank you.

I really needed this video....I had this camera for about a month and I just learned more in one video than I have since I had it! Thanks!!!!!

[@deanfordstaff893]

Fantastic tutorial of this camera! I have had this camera for 7 months and have only now really started to get into the different features that it has, and you have covered them in an easy to understand way! Thanks!

[@freeworldcarter]

my first camera purchase and I bought it second hand, no user manual!! WHAT A GOD

[@Jollyewe]

I just got this camera.....this tutorial is SOOOOOO much better than the boring user manual! Thank you so much for making this video. I'm a very beginner & after watching this I feel ready to start using my new camera with confidence. SUPER thankful for your SDP book & all your videos! Looking forward to getting the LR book next & jumping into that realm.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

YAAAAAAY! Been waiting for this. Bought one two weeks ago and haven’t been able to use it much because of one blizzard after another and then a bout of the worst flu I’ve ever had. So glad to have this though because I can assure you there are not any other in depth tutorials like this on KZbin.

[@AlaDin-fk4dr]

Hi. How do you like camera now? Is it still make you excitet ?))

I like how well everything is explained....and can go back, review sections, relearn..see what mistakes I've made and correct it.

Thanks for being so detail oriented. It is appreciated.. just started my you tube channel this year and was doing everything from my phone from taking video and pics to editing. If you have time give it a look and maybe offer some advise to making anything better. I have not uploaded anything from my SL2 yet so I would love any feedback possible on my older videos before I do.

I've been watching a lot of tutorials on KZbin. Many of the tutors seem to think it's important to put their personality in. You don't, Sir. Clearly it's about the education here (AS IT SHOULD BE). That said... you have a warm and likable personality! Thanks for vid and education.

Hi Tony & Chelsea. Total photography newbie here, but have long been interested in macro photography. Purchased the Canon 200D and had no idea whatsoever how to use it. Followed along with your video step by step with lots of rewinding and practising. I can’t thank you enough for this video! I also purchased your excellent book “Stunning Digital Photography” & progressively working my way through it. I got the ebook as the hyperlink to videos and additional information is awesome. Cheers guys 👍👍

[@curiouscollectiblesAU]

was watching one of your other vids the other night but after purchasing the 200d and seeing that neatly layed out table of contents not only in the description but also in the comments (need to pin btw), you sir have earnt my subscribe and like. Wow. just wow. I know you couldn't cover everything perfectly but it would have been nice getting your thoughts on inserting micro SD adapters into the card slot. Some people have complained that is it not a good idea although Canon are silent on the idea and do not mention it in the manual.
