yes all right what's up everybody today I'm gonna talk about the canon a TD
which I have right next to me that's why I'm pointing over there so I'm gonna
unbox that and I'm gonna talk about why I chose that particular camera okay so
first of all let me show you the box actually got this bad boy off of ebay as
you can see there cuz it's been out for a while and I didn't really need to get
a brand new for this one it's not the most expensive camera so I didn't feel
like a no I just didn't feel like spending my total amount and I found a
good deal comes with the kit lens I found it for $100 so with everything as
you guys know before I tried to drill a hole in my last camera right there
and ended up shattering the lens so that was the g7x I was a little disappointed
because I hadn't I kept getting dust in here right and the audio wasn't that
great even though I try to improve it by putting this little window made
windscreen on top when mom but it really didn't do the job the way I wanted it to
and since it's now dead it's time to step it up since I'm making
daily videos I need a better camera so here we go
after I unbox that I'm gonna make a point about why I chose this camera and
a recommendation for you so this is not just an unboxing so stay with me for a
little while guys alright so obviously there's a live stream so I
can't fast forward this part but I gotta
baby looks like they wrapped it really well all right okay so there we are that
is the box it doesn't look like the normal canon box right I don't know
maybe it does and I'm just haven't bought a can in a while
Canon DSLR anyway wearing the Canon colors let me yeah now you guys may say
hey Brett you a Canon fan well I'm gonna talk about that later but I really don't
care I have an icon right here this is a the d700 straight for what I
do for portraits but this is a totally different beast all right
I'm tell you why I got this so as I open it I'm gonna explain so basically I
needed a vlogging camera and when it comes to anything comes to a DSLR under
$1000 around a thousand bucks you can't get better than the Canon see that a TD
alright it's just it's the best for vlogging alright and for doing little
videos like I do so here it is I'm gonna open it up like tilt the screen a little
bit so you can see it alright let me tilt it down a little bit there you go
and so there it is even though it's used it's like brand new I got this one on
eBay and
man this looks brand-spanking-new look it's got all the original wrapping and
stuff it's hard to believe that this is uh I got a double check I thought I
bought used but maybe I didn't buy a brand new it's been like a week or so
since I bought it I forgot yeah this looks brand-new for eight hundred
dollars it's like eBay right now as a buyer you just can't beat it so as you
can see it has a crop sensor inside only gonna open quick because I don't want
dust to get in you can see it's a crop sensor so it's not a full frames and as
big as my Nikon however it's really small and best of all here's the kit
lens that comes with it well let me put this down for a second so it comes at
least the version I got was with the 1855 which I probably won't use at all
but I still have it I'll probably end up selling it we're doing a review on it
but it's a good looking backup lens that's the way I use it so I have that
the 1855 whenever you see the kit lens I usually don't go for it but since it
came at such a good price I decided to get it for $800 you can't beat it now I
can sell that kit lens for like a hundred bucks and I got another hundred
dollars off here's the charger here's a little strap here is the battery so this
is all factory steel this brand new I'm actually really excited now because I
thought I had ordered it used but yeah i bay is great for buying not for selling
but for buying it's ridiculous okay so let me just put that over there I'll
take care of that later so why did I get this camera right well the reason I got
this camera is for this thing for this pull out this pull out screen
is half of the reason I got this camera okay
so the screen pulls out and as you can see when you're filming yourself it
turns around how cool is that so being able to see yourself is
critical when you're making videos like I'm making right now and also being able
to do blogs and things like that so having the screen it swivels all
different directions it's really nice hey what's up
what's going on game Lord 27 pawn say it's good to see you if you have any
questions type it in good to see you guys
alright so I'm gonna continue I don't want to keep this stream too long so I
have the ATD now the other thing that I really loved about this camera if you're
looking for a camera the main reason I chose it is a for the screen now I wear
the glasses a lot people wonder why wear the glasses as a small little I digress
a little but small reason is because often I'll look at the screen while I'm
filming so when I look at the screen and I have my glasses on you can't see where
my eyes go however if I took my glasses off and I was looking at the screen see
I'm looking at the screen now at you guys but then now I look at myself at
the screen and see you can see the difference it doesn't look natural so
that's why I put on the glasses so when I have the glasses on see now you can't
tell you don't know where I'm looking right now see I'm changing back and
forth and you can't really tell where I'm looking so that's why I wear the
glasses so another thing is and it just makes it look more natural so I got this
screen I got this Canon DVD because another thing is one I want to see
myself into in order to vlog or do these videos I need to have really quick
autofocus now this is the Canon a TD if you go online you can print this out you
can see all the space all right 24 megapixels 3-inch screen
1080 up to 60 frames per second yada yada yada 14 bit color dust reduction
which is nice all this stuff is basically toss it out the window the
only one thing on that paper there's one small thing I like on this paper
besides the screen it's the auto focus all right so if you're filming yourself
and you do manual focus it is so frustrating now I've used an awesome
camera it looks great but trying to get auto focus is such is so time-consuming
it's not worth it especially make daily videos if you want to pump out content
you need something quick so Canon is great for that not endorsed
by Canon but I will say that their autofocus is amazing especially with the
Canon a TD the other the higher the full-frame version of this is the Canon
6d Mark - I'll put that in the description at the end of this video
below so you can you see that as well and also put a link to this camera as
well so the thing about it it focuses like almost automatically like in an
instant so I can just click on my face and then anywhere I move to it will stay
focused on my face so it has that face movement detection so when you're
picking a camera a lot of people look through all those features like the ones
I was just looking at and they and they say oh it has this and this and this and
you read all the stuff online you can spend days and weeks and months and I
used to do all that but really you have to think about what do you want alright
this thing is also a beast look how big this is this is great for portraits I'm
willing to carry it around but for vlogging it's not gonna work
right it's a it's too big autofocus is not fast enough it's got
tremendous color but I don't really care about color for vlogging I just want
fast autofocus and I want to see myself alright so now we're gonna put on the
lens that I show you a couple days ago this is the
ten to twenty two now this is a crop sensor as you saw before so that means
you got to multiply it by one point six six so this 10 to 22 millimeter lens
it's gonna be the equivalent of 16 millimeters to 35 so 16 is super wide so
I can do nice wide shots and it goes all the way
to 35 which is a little more portrait but still wide enough I can do it so it
pretty much fills everything I need to do for vlogging and I'm gonna do a lot
more vlogging in the near future probably next month because this month
I've been doing these daily uploads and I haven't been sleeping much and it's
starting to catch up to me so let me put this on so I use this by the way use
this little air things and I blow the dust out so I make sure the dust is out
because I hate the dust as you guys know I destroyed as I said earlier I
destroyed my camera trying to drill and put a q-tip in there and get out the
dust of my lens and I ended up drilling into my lens and destroying it so with
this camera I don't have to worry about that the only thing I had to worry about
is putting the camera onto the lens so I'm gonna do that right now
let me just put it up here maybe you guys can see it you see if I can that's
hard right now to show you exactly alright one thing I will say when you
put a lens on a camera make sure the camera is off so you always want to take
out the battery make sure there's no battery in the camera when you when you
put on a lens all right then I'll have a charge in there and that could attract
dust and other things so I'm gonna take this off now take this off another thing
about this lens too it's made in Japan alright I got it online used but it's
basically like new for under $400 it's made in Japan like
it's hard to find lenses a zoom lens this good made in Japan for under $400
so that's why from vlogging this is like the ultimate combination what I have
right now so if you guys are looking to start out and are really it's not the
cheapest but it's really not that expensive compared to much bigger bigger
camera so basically I just make sure that you know there's absolutely no dust
you know even though it's brand new I still dust seems to always like find
its way in there you just gotta like blow the heck out of it that's what I'm
doing now so once that dust gets in there it's hard to get out you know and
I don't want the camera back so now all right I connected it now I'm good so I
basically never take this off the only time I'm gonna take it off if I use my
50 millimeter 1.8 which is another great lens if you want something light cheap
and easy I'm gonna do a review on it within the next couple weeks so there
you go guys now I have this screen I can just pop in the battery use it touch it
BAM and I'm good so the Canon ATD the ultimate vlogging camera for someone who
doesn't want to break break their bank and if you're vlogging to be honest
unless you're making like a ton of money you don't need like even the 60 mark to
is kind of overkill so crap sensor lens is plenty alright if you're if you're
making films even with this you can still make films so for what I'm doing
right here my point of this whole video is try to figure out what you want to do
first and then buy the camera people often like they like I want to do this
this I want to shoot everything well I've been talking to a lot of people
have been emailing me and sending me messages on Facebook try to figure out
what you want a shoe pick one or two things right and really
stick to that and figure out whether it's photography or video or whatever it
is and then get the best camera for whatever you shoot so what I do I
I like portraiture so I have my Nikon because it's got great color and I can
just flip through it quick because for portraits you got to be quick can't
waste time all right so I got to change my settings my manual settings quick and
Nikon is a great grayness for that because it is designed so well I can do
it everything here I can just do instantaneously the way it's designed
all these functions I can just do it in my sleep whereas Canon it's pretty good
canons good it's much better than Sony in terms of like the things but it's
it's a little slower however for vlog I don't really care
about being super fast what I care about is this flipping out and getting fast
autofocus alright alright guys that's it when you pick a camera remember find the
one thing that you want and go after that all right don't look it don't look
it like all the specs and dwell over for weeks and weeks just find the one or two
things that you really want find the camera that does that the best and then
just go for it use it also I recommend renting before buying if you want a good
rent rental place I usually go to borrow if you're outside in New York City you
can go to borrow lenses or lens rental calm if you're in New York City you can
go to Adorama rentals those are usually the best all right guys thanks for
