I recently started studying cameras and lenses to film my nephews football games. I've watched SOOOO many videos to help me understand the technical info and its so hard to grasp, but this video is the single most informative video i've come across so far. I finally feel like im learning what I need to be better with the camera. THANK YOU.

[@8ca1ne8]

You’re a great uncle man 😤

[@karljuster6000]

Best explanation i have seen so far. Flow is impecable!!! Great work

Fantastic video. Thanks for this 🖐️

[@TheAnimaloons]

It's amazing how you guys always seem to compress so much technical information into brief, concise yet simple to understand videos. Looking at any of your videos, one can see a lot of thought and work has been put in each project. Your simplification of complicated projects are genius.

What 24-70 lense would you recommend for canon r8? Filming social media content for restaurant/bars (trendy punchy vids and 30sec vids of behind the scenes, chefs cooking, drinks, etc)? Also any other lense to get? Thinking of getting a gimbal too.

The RF 24-70 is fantastic just expensive

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you :)

[@presidentbusiness1rst]

Fantasic information share you made that soooo simple loved it

[@giannobong6778]

Crop factor only matters if you’re buying a full frame lens- you made it sound like all lenses would be affected but that’s not true. For example the sigma art 18-35mm f/1.8 is built for APS-C, there is no crop calculation to do and that lens cannot be used on a full frame camera without having the edges of the image missing.

[@MrPaulXavier]

If you compare the image from that 18-35 on a crop sensor camera compared to an 18-35 lens on a full frame camera the first will be significantly more zoomed in due to the crop sensor.

[@giannobong6778]

@@MrPaulXavier They make crop sensor lenses- that specific 18-35 I mentioned is a crop sensor lens. If you put it on a full frame camera you would get dark and distorted edges in the image because the lens doesn’t project a large enough image to fill a full frame sensor.

[@sunahura]

Great video

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks!

[@abhijitdas-fs9qs]

Which sony lenses will be best for shooting a cooking vedios for youtube compatible with Sony a6400 APS-C ?

[@robholguin9091]

18-135 Sony

[@C.Krisztián]

What u think about SONY E 16-55mm F2.8 its good , beginner lens to find ott what i rly want and , learn ?

[@AlexanderAwakened]

So on a aps-c sensor it crops in AND zooms in right? So a 30mm lens on a full frame camera will zoom in on an aps-c camera to 45mm right? So technically you get further zoom on aps-c cameras?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Crop in and zoom are used interchangeably here. When someone says it CROPS IN, they basically mean that the resulting image will look ZOOMED IN. So really one and the same. Either way you are correct. The final image is more zoomed in

[@antoinekikkers9022]

This video was very very helpful. Thank you very much for your clear information. Thanks again. Helped me great.

[@unquestionabletv]

How far was the camera to you when showing the focal lengths at 1:19?

[@AlexLifeson1985]

I am enjoy the 14 day course, but it doesn't show the process of actually white balancing a CANON camera. Also would be cool to see how to use a boom mike.

[@yiweng8524]

[@JulianNapoles]

What do you recommend for a rebel t5 to record Instagram reels?

[@arielzwolinski]

Does this assume full frame and ignores crop sensor impact on focal length perception? I’ve got Canon 700D APS-C camera. This means my 50mm is zoomed in, more like 80mm on a full frame.

[@805productions3]

So if you are doing landscapes, and don't want a blurry background, what do you suggest?

If you’re doing landscapes you don’t want a blurry background. That would cause the landscape to be blurry because it is the background.

[@szinetar]

Traducir texto con la cámara thanks for this great video. My question is this. I want to buy a camera with ibis, but I don't know how important it is to buy a lens with oss? I like the versatility of a 18-50mm 2.8 but it doesn't have oss, there is a 35mm 1.8 with oss, which one would you recommend more?

If your cameras has ibis you don’t really need OSS. Ibis is much better

I am using Sony ZVE-10 camera with 11mm F1.8 lens for landscape real estate videography please suggest a budget blurry backround effect lens for real estate agent house tour hosting video

Typically for real estate you’d want everything in focus. If you want something for a blurry background I’d look in the 20-35mm range and keep the aperture low

Hi, thanks for this video. Im not really a beginner, I wanted to buy a Panasonic S5ii as and investment for the future but about lensens It doesnt have really cheap options. I wanted to go for 24-105mm F.4 with stabilization but I'm worried that I wont have enought bokeh in the background while filming, also Is expensive (1200€). With almost the same amount of Money I can buy a 35mm and a 85mm boh 1.8 but unfortunately without stabilization. What shoud I chose? I dont know what kind of works Im going to do...

Am I on the right track or should I "focus" on something else? Thank You!
