[@tmk1991]

Thank you Jason! Super helpful. I got the R50 and I only have the kit lens, which other lens would you recommend? Mostly for traveling (landscape, portraits, animals), 50mm?

[@Jason_Hermann]

I would grab the RF-S 55-210mm geni.us/PbfjL0S to compliment your RF-S 18-55mm lens for the most range and most affordable option. The 55-210mm appears to only be available as a kit lens option though at the time of writing this unfortunately... For the best all-in-one lens option you can get the RF-S 18-150mm lens: geni.us/5pxFjX and then you won't really need the 18-45mm lens anymore... 150mm is a lot of reach... I compared the 18-45mm vs the 18-150mm lens here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIeZiZmVert1iZY You could also consider some full frame RF lenses, but they are larger and more expensive for the most part... The RF 24-240mm geni.us/QqwaXAB in particular looks to be a great all-in-one lens option for the money, but it's $899 US... For portraits in particular, the RF 50mm f/1.8 lens: geni.us/U8903L would be an excellent option and it's very affordable... I hope that helps and thank you for the kind words about the video :) Jay

[@LeeMarie11-11]

Hi Jason! Thanks for all the great info. I like the way you explain everything ! You make it very easy to understand Keep the great videos coming !

[@ESLTeacherMr.Sahyogee]

I just bought

[@TheIslandExpat]

The nifty fifty is a great all around lens that's about $150-$160.

[@6581punk]

24-240mm will do pretty much everything.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

mine's coming tomorrow. So I'm going to watch this a few times.

[@Jason_Hermann]

It's a great little camera Mark, your going to love it!

[@matthewdrexler188]

Lol dito xD

[@ApexOfExistence]

Watched twice already! Mines coming today I'm super stoked!

[@Realwildshots]

Mine’s coming next week so already watching it 😂

[@datguybrandon9683]

Mines coming in two days? 😂

[@adambernon6930]

I’ve been jumping from one video to another after buying the R50 as my first legitimate camera. A lot of the other videos assumed a base line understanding I didn’t have. This guide is great.

[@YouTub-sl1zx]

After 10 months of saving, I'm finally getting my first camera. This video is really helpful and gets me more excited! Thank you!

[@crappyslappy]

i bought this as my first camera too! its a great camera so far

[@fatihkoklu]

I bought R50 today, learning from this video 👍

[@piahelens]

I absolutely love this in depth explanation. You explain every single detail and not just assume that everyone knows the basics right away and jump straight to the specs. THIS is a beginners guide👍

[@aliceemma135]

The BEST guide I've ever seen!! Really appreciate your efforts! My husband and I gained a lot camera knowledge from you.

[@northernexposure8622]

Thank You Jason! An Excellent Presentation for someone new to this camera! I'll stay Tuned.

[@silversight9661]

Whenever, I get a new camera, I can always count on you to teach me everything I need to know about how to use it. I just wanted to let you know that I am very grateful for all of those lessons. Thank you, Jason; and you're an excellent instructor.

[@erniemorgan471]

What an awesome tutorial! It’s really helping this old man understand the camera much better. Thanks!

[@davezamora3626]

My wife got me this camera for my birthday and your video was totally a game changer for me. It allowed me to fully enjoy it, amazing video super extensive. Thank you for sharing this out with the world!

[@James47888]

Kia Ora Jason, just picked up an R50 and this guide is a winner. You've saved me (and everyone else here) a bunch of time. Cheers mate, appreciate your efforts!

[@tulinsahin4606]

what an amazing video, really in-depth info provided, thank you.

[@MuscleFishingOfficial]

I have just purchased this camera for my fishing channel. This video is the best guide on KZbin by a million miles. Thanks for making it and going through it slowly and with detail. Just what was needed to further understand the camera world

[@prihmorales]

Thank you so much! I'm so excited to begin take nice pictures with this amazing camera♥

[@BlumeBen]

Such an amazing and helpful video and it's going to be very cool when I start using this camera so thank you so much for showing me how to use it!

[@marciflores6687]

Thank you!! This video is incredible!!! Just like you said as a total newbie and beginner user I felt a little frustrated trying to figure it on my own, but after watching this very thorough and helpful video I can’t wait to get back out there. Looking forward to watching this again as well as your others! Thank you!!!

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome Marci :)

[@cesarvieitez2981]

Thanks Jason for this tutorial on the R50, I got mine a day ago and I’ve learned quite a few things from watching your video very informative and straight forward, you take your time in explaining things.thank you again

[@Dean4790]

One of the best videos of this camera, thank you so much!

[@nvtrials194]

Got my first camera a couple of days ago. This is awesome content, thank you. I will need to come back to it a couple of times I think! Going to get out in the next couple of days and play around with my new camera 😊

[@beanofdean]

straight to the point, love this content! thanks so much!

[@stugney]

Great tutorial, thanks. Can't wait to get out with my R50 and try those settings.

[@skinbybruna]

As someone who films long videos for KZbin, I appreciate so much the amount of details and the pace you go about showing everything about this camera! I wish I had seen one of these for the first camera I’ve had, would’ve made the learning experience much easier! Thank you!!

[@chiarabenelli7431]

you don't know how much I appreciate this video and the simple way you're traching us! I'm getting mine in a few days and I literally don't know anything about cameras (this will be my first!). Thank you so much for being so clear and slow! Have a good one, sending love form Italy 🫶🏻

[@PierresAdventure]

Got mine. And this video is really a great help. Thank you.

[@efreutel]

A splendid review; detailed yet straight to the point. Many thanks! 🙏 ☺️

[@anuiris]

The Best video on Photography basics I've ever seen. Its like a crash course for a beginner. Thank you very much!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear that thank you :)

[@freakinkim]

This video was extremely helpful, thank you so much!

[@TheTravelingHatter]

This was a wonderful video. I am planning on getting a R50 and will repeat watching this excellent video

[@MacKenziePoet]

Just what I was looking for, Jason, thank you!

[@gigim.7949]

LOVE THIS IN-DEPTH GUIDE!! I will be having my R50 as my first ever camera and this video will somehow help me how to navigate the controls without being overwhelmed. I hope there's a part 2 where all functions will be demonstrated via taking photos or videos outside.

[@Prez54]

just wanna say man you do a very good job explaining yourself, the camera, and how it all works im glad you posted this because this is an amazing tutorial thank you so much

[@BlueChipAdvance]

Great video 🥇 I’m loving this camera 📸

[@mithunlalm4746]

Thank you Jason, so helpful this video ❤

[@marbelhaj1234]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, Couldnt figure it out without you really, all those little things are very important to know and I was quite lost before I saw your tutorial. I got annoyed that every time i clicked on the screen it was taking a picture and you showed how to turn that on and off. I'm only at 20 minutes and have gotten so much information out of this. You are the absolute best. Thank you!

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome!

[@pacs1life2]

Omg that was THE BEST tutorial ever!!!!!! Thankssssssss

[@SPEARHEART]

Awesome! Thanks. This was certainly very helpful.

[@SogaGoat]

I had my R50 in my hand just going through it while watching the whole video. This video actually really is a true How-To.

[@crashoverride210]

Great video. Much more useful then reading the manual.

[@manohariisc]

This is wonderful. Many thanks!

[@662OutdoorAdventures]

Excellent informative video! the R50 is my first "serious" camera and I understand so much more now. Thanks!

[@MattHalpain]

Super cool how to guide. Fun to see the menu and functions of the Canon R50.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad you enjoyed it Matt and thanks for the comments :)

[@Sabundy]

Great video. Thanks for all the info

[@beardcomingsoon2738]

Great video and in depth explanation of its different modes and features! I appreciate it and look forward to growing in this hobby and catching up with your other content! Thank you kindly!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ApexOfExistence]

This is excellent man, thank you!! I shoot with a Rebel T6 and I use my Motorola phone for videography because it has a amazing camera setup but I am starting to take videography a lot more serious, started a KZbin channel for music concerts and heavy Athletic competitions for Scottish and Celtic festivals all over the Northeast USA and I did A LOT of research before deciding to get the R50. It's amazing what it can do not to mention uncropped 4k video for 60 min at a time! The amount of options they give you for the photography as well is astounding! I probably won't use the T6 as much anymore lol. I love how it has the 25.2 mp sensor as well! I really think it's crazy that it's labeled as a beginner/entry level camera because to be honest it's not. It's more of a ultra compact intermediate level TRAVEL camera.

[@DMOldies]

Great information.. Thanks Jason

[@sunehra269]

Super helpful tutorial, just got mine and I was a bit lost as a beginner! ☺️

[@ajaydeyart5467]

You have explained it very well, I am able to operate Canon R50 today after watching your video, thank you beautiful video.

[@robinbregman7540]

Thank you for this well done tutorial. I’m a Nikon fan but my son just bought a Cannon R50 and I wanted to learn about this camera so I can help him set up and learn about his camera. This camera has some really nice features! Seems like a terrific starter camera.

[@nairarjun06]

Hats off to the hard work .. top notch work

[@CatNavarroLee]

[@AlexisGarcia-lj1vi]

Thank you for the high fps tutorial. No wonder my videos werent that top notch for my beginner camera

[@ladyleeshome]

Thank you so much! Very helpful. I have the 6D Mark ii but got this one mainly for video (and travel) since it’s so much smaller. Makes life much easier and still more options than I need. Already in love with it! Again, this was very helpful. Thanks!

[@Jason_Hermann]

You're very welcome!

[@luisreyna4581]

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear and a great first camera option for sure 👊

[@jimobrien8806]

Thanks so much for this!

[@woahthatsrough]

I’ve owned a polaroid camera since I was 10. I’m 18 and just got a real camera!! I have NO idea what i’m doing or what anything means. This video is understandable, simple, and the exact video most of us needed. Thank you sir!!

[@Jason_Hermann]

That is awesome to hear and you are very welcome 👊

[@user-cj4gt6yw2k]

Thanks for the lens recommendations. R50 came with the 18-45mm, and I bought the RF 50mm f/1.8. Hoping to get the RF 55-210mm or RF 18-150 like you mentioned. Just a newbie here.

[@AshokaVines]

Thanks for this tutorial ❤

[@yukionii-chan1963]

I'm planning to buy my first camera (Canon R50) in future and this help me a lot as a beginner to get familiar with the settings and other modes, Thanks man 👏🏻

[@Jason_Hermann]

You are very welcome 👊

[@alphamercury]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@thedreamersrawvlog]

Thanks bro it's a big help for me i got mine only this week.

[@swansaudio]

Thank you for another beginning guy. I watched r50/m50,zve10/6400, z30/50 and personally the only camera that sits great in my hands is Nikon. My goals are shooting indoor videos (interview and architecture) as well as some outdoors events. I will more luckily buy a gimbal for any of those cameras but I want to have as many stabilization as possible (in body/in lens, in software). However, Nikon is a very old brand - people online most of the time work with canon, Sony, Lumix ... I totally understand that it's a beginner choice, but I still want to make the best choice possible

[@boostedmanhere]

this video is a gem! thank you very much! I though at first I bought a crap cam, now I know I was just uneducated to use it

[@briannajcksn]

You are the best! Thank you!!!

[@xtrongarage9666]

You are a machine thank you so much for teaching me how to use my new Canon EOS R50 camera. This is quite a big step from the Canon g7x Mark 2 which is more of a beginner camera compared to the R50. Fantastic video by the way I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.❤
