It's finally here. This is the camera that I've been dreaming of for 2 years.
It's finally here. The Canon 90-D. I'm going to tell you why this camera is the
ultimate best, the best for YouTube.
Actually the one here in my hand is the 70-D. The one that I'm filming with is my
new one, right? My 90-D is right there. But they look almost identical. I'm going to
talk to you about why this Canon 70-D, 80-D that my team is filming with
right now. And the 90-D are such amazing cameras and why you've got to go out and
get yourself the Canon 90-D. We're going to talk about the size. We're going to talk
about the flip screen. We're going to talk about the batteries. We're going to talk
about the autofocus. We're going to talk about the lenses. We're going to talk about
4k. We're going to talk about 120 frames per second, And I'm going ot demonstrate what
you can do with those things. Okay, let's first talk about the
autofocus. The 70-D, this is the first real DSLR camera. Meaning, a high quality
camera that's meant for taking great photography was used for video that had
auto tracking focus. So, I could set up a camera on a tripod as I'm using it right
now and watch this: It can track my face and change the focus. Look how blurry the
background is now. It just stays focused on my face. That's amazing. So, this was
the first camera that had this technology. This is the 70-D. The 80-D that
came out a couple years later, the autofocus was even better. Like when
there's bright spots like this window, sometimes on this camera, it would shift
or go to the window and the back to my face. The 80-D, it didn't have that problem.
Then 90-D, the autofocus, the tracking on it is way better. You can even have it
focus on your eyes. You can control some different things that I haven't even
figured out yet because I just started using this camera. But it hasn't had any errors
that I've noticed yet. Okay, this was a favorite camera for a long time even the
one after this the a 80-D from Casey Neistat because of this flip screen. I mean
selfie mode. When you want to be able to look at the screen like I can look to
the site and see myself right there. So, the flip screen is a must. It's a very
high quality flip screen. And man, cannon, just creates some great
lenses. Right now, I'm filming on a 24 millimeter lens which means it's kind of
wide angle. Because I'm pretty close to the camera. And yet there's not any weird
bendy things going on at the edge of the screen. The lenses are so great and for a
long time it's the end as cameras have progressed by Sony by Nikon and whatnot,
they've come out with 4k. They've come out with 120 frames per second which
means you can do slow-motion stuff. I was looking at other cameras like, "I want 4k,
I want faster than 60 frames per second" which the 80-D has. And Canon was kind of
slow at doing it. When Canon does something, they do it right. They don't
take any shortcuts on quality at all and they're willing to wait and perfect it
before they launch it. Well, that's what we have here the Canon 90-D. Now, has 4k.
Now, has 120 frames per second. Now, just a moment ago, I went outside with my son
and filmed him at 120 frames per second which is like four times slower than
normal, right? And I filmed it as if he were frozen. Check it out see if you can
tell. It looks like he's frozen.
Now let's talk about 4k. 4k is awesome but not for the reason that you might
think. It's not because we want to watch things in 4k. I mean most YouTube videos
are watched right here. I'm not going to watch 4k. I can't tell it's too small of
a screen. For 4k to really be noticeable you've got to have a big TV. Most of the
time, that's not how people are watching YouTube. So, why do I want 4k then? Well
check this out. Okay, when I come back here behind the chair with a wide-angle
lens, you know you're seeing a wide shot and I'm a lot smaller. But watch what
happens when I snap my fingers. Wow! I just zoomed in. This is on a prime lens.
So, my lens did not zoom in there. My editors zoomed in on me and yet, I'm
still high-definition. Because when we uploaded this video to YouTube, we upload
it in 1080p. Full-hd. We recorded it in 4k but then you can zoom in on me and you
can go to 1/4 the size of 4k and still have it be full HD. Now, you can zoom in
even more and still have it look really high-quality.
I used to zoom in and do crop edits all the time when I record in 1080p. But
that's the real strength of recording in 4k. You can take a high quality lens with
a 1.4 f-stop and really be able to blur the background. And yet now you've got a
zoom lens where you can zoom way in just using editing afterwards. I mean what if
you zoomed in right now? What if when I snap my fingers you look at my nose?
Okay, let's go back. That's what 4k can do, that's pretty awesome. Now, let's talk
about batteries. I love this battery. It's a small little battery. It lasts a very
long time. It's one of the best batteries that has been made for cameras. Way
better than Sony's by about double the length of time. The Canon 90-D uses the
same battery. And if you're going to be using your camera in studio a lot where
you don't need it to be portable, you can actually go on Amazon. And for 20 bucks,
buy a little adapter. So, there's a little plug that looks just like a battery. It
goes up in your battery compartment. The cord goes out a little flap that's built
into the Canon 90-D. And you can just plug that right into your
wall. So that's a cool feature. I'll probably get one of those. But I love
that the 90-D uses the same le6 or something batteries. Alright, there's
another question that's come up about how often should I upload videos to
YouTube. There's controversy here. Should I upload one video a week? Should I upload
daily? I have a very strong opinion on this. In fact, I've tested it and I've
proven it and it works. I made another video I'm going to link to it right
there. I recommend you go check out that video now.
