CANON T4i in 2020 - Can it STILL Compete?

[@AI4QT]

I like the fact your overview was straight to the point. So many camera reviewers just ramble on... and on. Your review was perfect for me.

[@JaeOvrZane]

The first video that actually showed solid footage and pictures💀 thank u bruh got straight to the point, researching this camera was aids until I found this

[@shortbutsweet]

Nice shots! I love my t4i. Had it since launch. It's my first and only DSLR. Finally wanting to try a full frame (thinking of the EOS R) but I know the t4i will always be my baby.

[@270shoot]

These "can you still use this camera today"-videos" are all over KZbin. I would answer that with another question: "What makes a camera, which was top of the line a few years ago, unusable today"? Ones people get over the thought that they can only use newest gear, these videos are not necessary anymore. I built my photography-career with gear usually two generations old, to buy it for lower prices. After 27 years in the business and climbing some of these career-ladders to the very top I can say that gear was never the roadblock in my work. I actually still own a T4i and I would not hesitate to shoot almost every assignment with this body. Brings us back to the old statement: "The photographer takes the photo, not the camera".

[@crowina_nutshell]

While that is true, there is a certain point where the tech really is the limiting factor, for example, one of those "4k Camcorders" that go for about 100 bucks on Amazon that look absolutely horrendous in either photos or video and something like the t4i far surpasses video quality even with a "lower resolution" in video. Some of those Camcorders claim to have 50mp but only really have like 13mp -which don't get used very well anyway- but that's where more expensive/"high-end" cameras show how a higher quality camera can make a lot of difference. Skill can get you far with bad tech, but it can only take you so far, that's where better tech comes in. Basically what I'm trying to say is: A person can be the most skilled photographer but when given a camera with terrible technology, the photo is not likely to look good. So, there is a certain limit to which what you said applies

[@zgSH4DOW]

No one's questioning their useability-- the videos are whether or not you should accept the step back in time, and the innovations you lose access to

[@Zlist1994]

I just found a deal on this camera on ebay for $350. Comes with 2 lenses and everything else in original box. I'm so excited to shoot on this 😁

[@gallegos_prod]

Congrats! It’s a hell of a camera! Until this day, I refuse to sell it, I love it, it’s been with me since the beginning and it taught me everything I know! Best of luck on creating with it!!

can you make a video and show us the best setting to put for pictures and videos on the t4i

[@kamisokudoxvii]

Good video man! I own a t4i now and I'm thinking about upgrading. Main thing I'm trying to figure out now is if I want to sell it or keep it as a backup

[@WTG194]

I have the T2i and it still shoots beautifully but the time for change has come, I've since upgraded to the Panasonic S5.

[@gallegos_prod]

Such a nice upgrade!! Hope you enjoy it! The canon rebel series will always have space in my line up lol! Thanks for watching✌🏽

[@WTG194]

​@@gallegos_prodA pleasure Daniel, I like your style! I've been playing with the idea of doing a ridiculous comparison between the S5 and the T2i just for fun.

[@gallegos_prod]

@@WTG194 you should definitely do the comparison! It’ll be a night a day difference that’s for sure!

[@commandruller]

The only problem is the night performance. Anything above 800 iso and this camera immediately introduces noise. You need an awesome light source to work with this camera.

[@kevinarackaparambil2724]

really good content man, just stumbled on this channel and was impressed with everything! keep it up

[@gallegos_prod]

Appreciate this so much! Thank you🙏🏽

[@GenesisAnne]

What lens did you use?

[@gallegos_prod]

I was using the Canon EFS 24mm f2.8! It’s a really cheap lens and it works amazing for the price!

[@adamryan5682]

Hi Daniel, Sorry for my bad english, I am beginner and i want to make some short movie (Cinematic)... I would not go for expensive one because I am still newbie. But I am confuse which one to pick, Eos 650d, 700d, 60d and M50..... Which one is great for short video???

[@HealMyTech1]

Would have loved a little more details and b rolls, and a little more depth explanation, but for what it is, its a good short video. I own 2 of the same and will upgrade soon, and thinking about doing a video on it as well.

[@gallegos_prod]

Thank you for your feedback! Will take it into consideration moving forward🙏🏽

[@kathleeng3414]

Those are really cool shots👏🏼👏🏼

[@gallegos_prod]

Thank you 🙌

[@thedurants]

What are you shooting your review video with? Looks 🔥?

[@ofeliacristobal9080]

What is the best image quality to set this camera on? I have the 18-55mm lens.

[@gallegos_prod]

When it comes to photos, I always shoot in a raw format, around a 125 shutter speed. When it comes to video, 24fps, with a 60 shutter speed. It will give you the most natural/film look. Hope this helps and thanks for watching🙏🏽

[@JayDiazFilms]

I’m currently using a T4i and I got to a point where I’m ready to upgrade because I now feel limited. I was actually looking into getting the EOS R and I wanted to ask you if you see any significant difference between the two cameras in photography as far as high quality photos, assuming pro lenses are being used?

[@gallegos_prod]

The EOS R has been my go to camera. It’s a HUGE upgrade from the T4i. First major difference I noticed was simply the autofocus, it’s super fast! And the lowlight capabilities are also very good. Of course the EOSR is not the best in low light but compared to the T4i, it’s a huge improvement. I currently only own and use two lenses. The RF 24-105 F4 and the Canon Ef 50 f1.8 stm. I really love the eosr. It’s been my first professional level camera and I love the results it puts out! I’d say make the upgrade, you will not regret it!

[@JayDiazFilms]

@@gallegos_prod Thanks for the quick response! I’ll definitely look into getting the EOS R.

[@sophiad3028]

[@creativewoodpicture4149]

Can I use t4i in studio photography?

[@gallegos_prod]

You sure can! Just pare it up with a nice lens and you’re good to go!

[@hacksfactsreviewspoosdoos3219]

does it take longer then 30 min videos before you have to restart another one? (ya know that import tax thing) thanks

[@gallegos_prod]

Yes sadly that is the limit of video on this camera. After it reaches 30 minutes, it stops recording automatically. It’s not huge deal unless you’re recording long format content.

[@MarcC1973]

What settings/frame rate is best for slow mo video? Thx

[@gallegos_prod]

Best settings to use on THIS specific camera and to get out of most of it. I had it at 60fps/720 with a shutter speed of 1/125🙌🏽 The T4i doesn’t have 1080p but it’s still usable footage nonetheless! Hope this helps!

[@sarahg2965]

I like your bloopers:)

[@brendaschenk9390]

Great video. Someone is selling one for 225. Will be my first camera if I purchase.

[@gallegos_prod]

Such an amazing price! It’s a great starter, you’re gonna love it!

[@perfectochico]

I would definitely say the video quality of b rolls from the t4i were great & competitive in 2021 still. The images appeared to be average however I can't say much beyond that because the settings could have played a major roll in the image quality.

[@gallegos_prod]

You are 100% correct, Settings always play a major roll! As a beginner/starter, I think the T4i gets the job done and executes. Sure it’s not as fast as these newer cameras but with time, saving up from gigs can lead to that higher end camera. You do have a valid point tho, the image quality is where you fully start to see where it lacks

[@Gmenpg]

i still use it. ITS good enough.

[@maggieeisenhour8285]

Just got this camera for a starter (I am loving so far) however I am having a lot of issues with my SD cards for video longer than 4seconds. Currently, I am using a Sony 128GB with R: 227 MB/s & W:150 MB/s - which from my research should be PLENTY to shoot at 1080 24 f/s - BUT it keeps telling me an error message and I’m not sure what to do! After seeing your video I thought I’d ask you and see if you might have an answer or SD card recommendation? Thanks so much in advance, you have been so helpful on here!

[@gallegos_prod]

The only thing I’d say to try is getting a regular 32GB SanDisk card. I had a 16 and 32GB that I’d always use and never had any issues. It could be that your Sony card could be too modern for the card that it has trouble writing to it or it can be sony coding that it’s having trouble with. Give a more simple card a shot and see if that works.

[@maggieeisenhour8285]

Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@DeltaCreditRestoration]

Have you found that it can compete with technology- i.e., pixilation, wifi, mic ports, memory?

[@gallegos_prod]

It is a little outdated whenever it’s compared against these new cameras and their new components that they offer. However, I believe the T4i is a great started camera. If you’re new to cameras and want to learn the ins and outs, I’d recommend it. Even with its age, you can still get commercial work with it!

[@DeltaCreditRestoration]

@@gallegos_prod I am going to use it for videos primarily. Just can't decide- $500 towards this or $500 towards an I-Phone

[@gallegos_prod]

They both are great solutions. With the camera, you might a more cinematic and a more professional setup. The iPhone cameras are really nice as well though don’t get me wrong. If you decide to go with the iPhone, there’s a nice lavaliere mic I’d recommend. I did a video about it a couple weeks ago and it sounds super professional! Either or, I phone or camera, I think you’ll be able to work with both and get amazing shots. I’d get whatever fits into your budget best
