[@TechGearTalk]

You're very welcome. Glad I was able to help you make a decision.

[@robbja]

THE BEST COMPARISON! I have seen numerous videos and read a bunch of articles in magazines and on the Net! YOU - Good Sir - are the ONLY ONE That mentions the additional crop factor when filming in 4K! I have a 200D and I had just bought it a few months before the 250D arrived! AND I was struck by instant "Fear Of Missing Out"! As the 250D has 4K and the 200D doesn't! I have been planning on filming with a DSLR for some years now - and THAT is one of the reasons why I upgraded from 600D to 200D! I also love how the 200D with the 24 mm pancake lens is so small that it fits in the pocket of a overcoat! Your videos have been very useful and informative to me and TODAY! I am finally going to try shooting my first KZbin video! Yesterday I went out and bough me a hotshoe mount shotgun mike (a Boya By-bm2021)! And I'm planning on filming four people discussing with the shotgun mike, lavaliers recording to smartphones for the two on the sides and either my Canon "nifty 50" or Sigma 18-250! As I will be one of the "talking heads" It will be shot with a fixed camera! I THANK YOU for ALL the useful information you give in your videos and I want to encourage you to keep up the good work!

[@TechGearTalk]

I’m so excited for you Bob!!! Thank you for the kind words. Glad I could help. Good luck!!!

[@paddysperspective3642]

Using the sl2 for the last 2 years and I'm super happy with it. It's a great camera for a great price. Beginners you can't go wrong with the sl2.

[@PeakTimeRacing]

Need a 2nd DSLR and found your channel because I'm trying to decide between a SL2 or SL3. I owned an SL2 before but sold it cause I never ended up using it. I'm leaning towards the SL3 now because of the clean HDMI out for live streaming. Thank you so much for the in depth review!

[@TechGearTalk]

Appreciate you watching and glad the video was helpful! Like you said, the SL3 is the way to go for streaming. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and for participating in the community.

One thing that your videos invoke? Trust. Never trade that. Cheers.

[@TechGearTalk]

That is very kind of your to say Robin - I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.

[@AlainLafleche1]

I think the SL2 is the winner. Not much of a difference in image quality, and most peoples still use 1080p videos as it is more easy in post on your computer. At 1080p, 60fps like you said, you can do pretty good slow motion, and in Canada, you can have the SL2 at $560.00 and the SL3 $899.99 a pretty big $ 339.99 difference. For the price, i can even buy the Rebel SL2 with a Gopro7 Black and i can do both 1080P and 4K for just $120.00 more than the price of the SL3 :-)

[@TechGearTalk]

Wow, that’s a huge price difference. I like where your head is at with the GoPro!

[@rstaraptorphotography3082]

It's still the same 24mp sensor. They updated the video that's all. It's sad.

[@maerklinistkaize4460]

In Germany there is almost no price difference at all!!!

[@messyroomstudios]

WELL SAID MY FRIEND

[@maxperaza8264]

Your comment is still relevant a year later. SL2 and GoPro 7 Black is what I chose to buy as well. I got both refurbished for just under $600 total, which is what I would have paid for on a new SL3.

[@diwasdhungana]

I own a sl2(200d) and I don't do live streaming or anything live,.... Videos are already great, having 4k might give sl3 an edge but having crop factor of more than 2 is just no no. Most of people would just stick with 1080p, in photography side I see no major difference, except the battery life. And don't get it wrong, the sl2 gives already around 1500 shots with full battery with viewfinder. You will most be shooting... If you are going for photography just go for cheaper sl2, and if for video, it's really up to if you want that cropped 4k....eye detection is nice though... I say go for cheaper sl2 at last.

[@TechGearTalk]

I think that's a good analysis. Eye detection is nice, but I don't know if it's enough right? The SL2 might be a better value.

[@deepeshkhatri]

@@TechGearTalk No improvement in AF points is my concern, why one should pay extra for features with limited capabilities? especially no dpaf in 4k with crop factor.

[@TechGearTalk]

I'm still unable to explain removing features. Waiting to hear something from Canon.

[@iamchintupathak]

I think sl2 is Value for money! Upgrade should be impactful! Sl3 not have much that we can call sl3 is the upgrade version of sl2! I think people should buy sl2 ! Offer are running online in india on sl2(200d) ! With 2 kit lans it is only ₹47,000 Sl3(200d ll) price is ₹66,000. Which is too much on my view just for 4k & Eye detection 😉

[@JulieGage]

I bought my SL2 in mid January after returning the Canon PowerShot sx740 & then the Canon T7i. The PowerShot & T7i took great photos however when it comes to a price point and similar features I decided to stick with my SL2. After seeing the SL3 come out, I had a moment if I made the right decision on buying in January 2019 vs waiting until now. Thank you for this comment and this video. Now I will invest into lenses instead of upgrading to a newer model camera that's in the same category of what I already own.

[@harshith660]

I'd still go for SL2. 4k is not that important to me.

[@TechGearTalk]

That makes sense to me. I think it's a very self-aware move.

[@rstaraptorphotography3082]

I got my sl2 about 2 years ago, 2 years after my sl1 - i overpaid while on vacation and spent like $850 for a lens, bag, and sl1 Sl2 was $550 without lens, but with filters and battery, charger, i think it even came with a bag. And it's 24 rather than 18mp. Sl2 is awesome and faster than sl1. I can tell the difference in darkness is much better and more useful. Especially compared to my rebel xs from a decade ago. I compared images, videos, and even screwing around with the shutter speed to smooth out water effects, YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW DECENT WATER EFFECTS WITH OLD CAMERAS! the sl2 is 100 times better than any canon in even twice the price range compared to last decade. The sl2 didn't give any extra creative filters which pisses me off. I don't want to edit my photos outside my camera. This is the future, and that should be the future. In-camera photo editing!!!

@@therealcinnimo there was something about the sl3 i didn't like. They reduced some qualities. I think my next camera will be full frame, but I just compaired close shots with my sl2 and my galaxy note 9 and my phone takes better short range photos. Pisses me off. My camera is 6mp more but my phone just blows my camera out of the water. I'd say now, for macro and micro photos, don't touch a camera. Only grab your phone. I took like 10 different shots and my sl2 just had a type of blur i couldn't get rid of. It's always been like that. Back 4 years ago this would be a completely different story, my galaxy s4 took "good" photos, but my sl1 i though was vastly superior. Times have changed. Nobody buys cameras now, and it's because phones are better somehow.

This video actually helped me a lot with deciding on a camera to get. I was planning on getting the SL3 but I wanted to see a few more videos and see if there were any things I was missing, and not having 24fps was a pretty big downside, and the crop factor on 4K made me realize that I’d need to get an ADDITIONAL lens. I don’t have a lot of money right now and the SL2 is considerably cheaper so this helped a lot on deciding. Gonna stay subscribed from now on.

If you haven't purchased and can afford it - get the Canon EOS RP with the RF 24mm - 105mm lens. The "R" series is where Canon is going to be putting the money, and supporting with new product. the M50 cannot compete in any way with the competition at the same price point.

[@oldengguy]

Thank you. This was a nice comparison. I recently picked up an SL2 at a pawn shop and immediately put it to work as my workhorse for my online sales business. I do my product photography using the SL2 on a tripod, set to square photo format, at low resolution, with external lighting, using live view with the touch shutter. I shoot product videos with it, as well, and get good quality with small file size MP4 files. The WiFi works great. All of my photos taken each day go into a folder for that day, which keeps them organized. The WiFi connection means that I do not ever need to have a cord running from my camera to my computer.. I had been using a 77D, which did everything I needed, but I felt I was wasting a lot of great features of the 77D using it that way, so replaced it with the SL2, and replaced an earlier SL1 with the 77D as my vacation camera. Since the SL2 and 77D share the same battery, and I use a power adapter on the SL2 on the tripod, that gave me an extra battery for vacations. I had wondered about what the SL3 offered, and from your video I can see that while it has some nice features, in the way I would use it ,there is no good reason for me to seek one out.

[@FitzpatrickSD]

I'm currently looking to buy one of these models, and this is the first time seeing your videos. You do such an amazing job of simplifying so much information. Really appreciate your work!

So now I guess canon M50 Vs sl3 Btw one question: if a camera has 30fps but no 24fps them can't we lower the FPS in the editing process when we are about to export the file?

[@TechGearTalk]

You can do that, but it won’t yield the exact same results. It has to do with the shutter speed and the amount of motion blue your get at 24fps.

[@aridgp1]

That's a very bad idea because when u put 30fps video and put it on 24fps timeline then this will remove 1 frame after every 5th frame from the video .. this will result in a very jittery video in final output .. I hope this helps .. thanks :)

[@isaacattia675]

Hi there! Trying to figure whether the SL2 or the SL3 is better for me. I am a beginner, planning on getting a camera for photography of indoor events for school, and general family use when traveling and going on trips. I plan to use video here and there, but nothing professional. I notice a lot of people discussing the SL3 lacking the 1080/24, but it also doesnt have the ability to add a third party flash (which I'm not sure I'm going to be using anyway, at least right now). How important is the eye recognition over these other aspects given my use? PS - Finding a $100 difference, and my budget is $900 max. Looking to get the Sigma 17-50 lens for all around use but I was also recommended the Tamron SP 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di. Which is better for me? Thanks!

[@Valkyrie_SDS]

I am also looking at buying the 250D on Friday and I am interested in the eye detection in video mode. Is it making a real difference when compared to the M50 and 200D ?! It would have been amazing to see an actual comparison side by side, since this is one of the main selling points of this camera.

[@TechGearTalk]

@Isaac Attia - you've outlined the things I don't like about the SL3 (no 1080/24 and removal of the hot shoe center pin). For me, the hotshoe is less important. Eye recognition is really nice for portraits, you're going to appreciate it. Especially if you're shooting with a shallow depth of field and it's important you get that closest eye in focus. Look, I've lived without it for years and so has everyone else, so it's not a deal breaker, but it's nice to have. @sebastianFM - For video, it's a little less important because the face detection is pretty good and there is usually motion blur anyway. Again, nice to have, not critical.

[@christosmylonakis2552]

I'm just amazed by how good this video is. Very analytical, very explanatory, very likeable guy. Nice work man. Nice!

[@TechGearTalk]

Much appreciated! Thanks for being part of the channel!

Hey Boss whats thats special software to get clean hdmi out with the auto focus feature?

[@TechGearTalk]

What’s up! Look up sparkocam

[@therealcinnimo]

In germany the sl3 is cheaper than the sl2... is 24fps and 25fps such a big difference? And eye detection sounds so good....

[@TechGearTalk]

Get the sl3. You won’t be able to tell the 25 vs 24. Love that eye detection.

[@therealcinnimo]

@@TechGearTalk I will, thank you again.

[@UrbanGuitarLegend]

With the SL2, as a work around for the clean HDMI when live streaming, will it let you stream in 1080pm with using the USB and Canon's web cam software?

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks so much Krish!! Which did you like better?

[@czochinzo1005]

Is buying used sl2 for a beginner, okay in 2021?

[@hgonz14]

Even though the SL3 doesnt shoot at 24fps @ 1080p, that eye detection stabilization is a must. I am not going to shoot much video and need something that has better picture quality. You have earned a subscribe from me, good video.

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad the video was helpful and I appreciate the support!

[@bigkwijibo]

A couple questions. I watched the video and have seen others. How are the cameras for night filming and pictures. Specifically focusing with all of the excess lighting. My son is mainly interested in fire related scenes (fires, accidents, vehicles), currently he is using an ipod and we know that while that is okay he wants to get a better camera. Of all of the videos I've seen, nothing has said anything about night time action. Originally I was liking the sl2 over the sl3, but then realizing the 3 had just a bit better edge. He doesn't want to spend past 700, but he gets it. Quality of finished product is based on pricing. 1. Night time photo and video actions for cameras. Pretty good or with all of the flashing lights still a problem? 2. Shooting from across the street. Short or long lens? Fire engines would sometimes be coming toward him.

[@YaMudda313]

Another AWESOME review. Very informative and straight-forward. Well done Sir.

[@alexisraelyan9640]

Can someone explain what he said about 25 fps ? Is it possible to shoot 1080p 25 fps on the SL3? If so, why can’t I just replace 24 with 25mfor the slow cinematic footage?

[@TechGearTalk]

Yes you can shoot at 25fps. But if you live in the US (or another NTSC zone) you can get light flickering because of the frequency of the electricity. Hope that helps. Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@alexisraelyan9640]

[@lupinforever9334]

I use SL2, doesn’t see too much increase in terms of functionality for SL3 except battery and 4k, and the current battery life already enough for me to shoot for a whole day. And for video 1080p and 60fps are enough and don’t take up too much space in terms of data storage.

[@TechGearTalk]

I totally get it. If Eye detection and 4k time lapse don't really matter, I wouldn't upgrade. The SL2 is already a great camera

Excellent comparison, Sagi. I’m still a little confused with Canon’s choices lately. The pros of the SL3 for me would be the clean hdmi, audio levels showing while recording, 4K timelapse, eye af during video, and better battery life. Hope you will be comparing the SL3 to the M50. Keep up the great work👊🏾

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you Timeka. My issue is removing features. If all you did was add features, it's an easy choice: are the new features worth the money? YES or NO. Period. But now they made it some weird machine where you pull one level down and another goes up. Working on the SL3 vs M50 review! Appreciate the kind remarks 🙏

[@MissFate]

Thank you very much! I was trying to decide which one I want to buy, and before your comparison I was going to choose 250d... but now I decided to go for 200d. Simply because of those 24fps at 1080p. I am more of photographer than video maker, but I have in mind some project including cinematic shots, so thats game changer for me.

Glad it was helpful. It would depend on what I wanted. For me, personally, it's the SL3. I don't need 24fps and I value a clean HDMI output and eye detection for video.

[@Velocity_AU]

I volunteer at a recycle place that does workshops for special needs kids, we get donations a lot of stuff that works and don't work, in a massive donation from a school with a ton of computers, there was a SL3 (EOS 200D II here in Australia) and the back screen was ripped off, no batteries, no lens. I ended up fixing it, the back screen was there, it was just no longer attached, so i reattached it with hot glue and dreams, and got it tested, it worked. Bought a lens on ebay and aftermarket batteries, and now I got a really damn cool camera now
