So what is the best all around DSLR for video I'm gonna share with you my research and my best tips right now
Hey whats up guys Sean here with video influencers
helping you build your influence And your income with online video
And one of the big question that people are always asking is what is the best
DSLR for making videos and YouTube videos So I had the opportunity to shoot on a lot
of different cameras and work with people who use all kinds of different
cameras but in this video I was specifically concern
with the best all-around DSLR like the one you can be sure it's solid when
it comes to price features performance ease of use
and also stay at the end of this video because I'm going to be sharing
some of the things that you should look for in a DSLR even if you go with
a different one as well as some of my best money saving tips
lets get into the review so whats the best DSLR all-around for youtubers
and video creators I think is the canon 70D and here is why
Number one of course the camera is HD every camera you go with is gotta be HD
1080p it was brilliant video quality number two a huge youtuber attribute Is it has a
flip out screen and not just a flip out screen but
also a touch screen that is really good quality on it so of course youtubers want that for
if you would use it for vlogging or when you are shooting a video and you need
to able to see yourself or you want to be able to compose the shoot number three is
got a 30 min record time and so you don't have to keep restarting the video
every like 12 minutes like some others DSLRs or some of the older Canons number four and
this is the stand out that this is the game changer
for the canon 70D and that is auto focus during video and so de 70D introduces
what's known by dual pixel CMOS autofocus and that simply means it's really good
at focusing when shooting video not only that but you can also tap in the screen to focus
you can set it to follow faces you can set it to follow regions and so for youtubers
specially that want to do reviews that want to hold up a product and having the camera
focus on the product they want to make sure to not
ruin a whole video by not having it in focus having really good auto focus really sets
this camera apart and we'll talk about it later because there's
other good cameras with autofocus but at a much higher
price range we are interested in what's the best all around that auto focus is a game
changer next is there is a huge variety of lenses
available because is a canon camera because canon really is so main stream that
means a couple things that you are going to be able to
find more lenses than some other brands or some of the niche brands but also if you search
even on like used or refurbish you can actually save
money because there are so many out there and get variety of lenses
next is that the kit lenses that are kinda like the standard lenses
that would come bundle with the camera if you buy it with a lens
are actually really good and great for video creators and youtubers
to get started with and one of the features that you want to look
for is the kit lenses most of them now are
STM and that means that the auto focus system It's just on a step remoter and it means that
it focuses fast and it focuses quiet next is that the wireless features on
this camera are super solid Meaning it interfaces great with the canon
the canon connect app its available on iPhone and droid
And so you can shoot the camera remotely you can transfer files to your phone
Most video creators and youtubers also need to take great photography
And well talk about that in a second But what's nice is that you can take really
high end photography Get that on your phone and then use that for
social media content And then also takes great photos and so if
you've been watching Video Influencers For any length of time you also know how important
branding is And that is not really is not just about your
video content but that You want good thumbnails you want good branding
on your social media Good photography to use in other places and
so having a solid DSLR You can also depend on this not just to create
video content But also to create photo content kinda your
social media content Creation machine
And lastly it has a mic input so one of the big challenges with a lot
Of point shoots and with a lot of youtubers video creators
That's kinda were you gotta start But because you've got that mic input it really
changes the game For what your audio options are and that's
pretty common for DSLRs But definitely should be mention
So how much does a Canon 70D cost? Well right now is still gonna round you about
a 1000 dollars And if you want to get a kit lens with it
you can actually Grab those or find those I just saw on Amazon
for 1100 bucks You can get a solid kit lens
so definitely a STIP investment but what we are talking about is all
the features and performance that you get for the price
for instance the autofocus is really good and that's a huge feature that
a lot of people want but you can use something like a the sony
A7s which I've used a lot now the autofocus is better the video quality
is better but just the camera is about 2500 bucks and
by the time you are investing that much you could build
an entire studio lighting tripods mics everything
so is there better DSLRs ? absolutely better for video ? sure
but best all around I really think is this and another one you could look into that is
also very popular is the luminix gh4 but those are gonna run
you I think 1500 ish right now for just the body
and if you are interested into researching any of this stuff more
I'll link up this techy details in the YouTube description
So what about ease of use ?
It should be known that there's definitely a learning curve from moving form
say a point and shoot to a camera like this however this is one of the
most user friendly models out of any of the DSLRs I've ever use
and these days you can just spend really probably an afternoon on YouTube
researching specifically how to use the canon 70 D and pretty much
to become an expert if you just invested the time
something to note but overall user friendliness is very solid on the camera
and the last think I consider when looking into what's the best all
around DSLR for video and for YouTube is just how many youtubers are using it
and people from different areas and we interview a tone of here on
video influencers so people on the beauty space that are doing like
beauty channels life style channels and doing a lot of look books and
different kinds of content like that and then people like Casey Neistat I mean He highly
popularize this camera and the fact that he use it for vlogging
and I recently heard him say on a podcast that the reason he still
uses it is not because is perfect but because of the autofocus
is so great on it and because that's really important to him
in fact I actually did a video on Casey set up and you can check that out
I'll link that up in the YouTube card that will pop up somewhere here if you are
interested in that now as promise I just wanted to share a kick
tip when it comes to saving money if you are going to make an investment on
this camera or any other camera though amazon.com as you can see here the
70D is running for about a 1000 bucks just for the body so that
mean it doesn't come with the lens but I was able to pick the 70D that
we got off of amazon for 750 bucks and the way we did it
it was ship via prime and it came in two days and it came and turn out perfect
it's we did it in this section right here see you have two sections you
have refurbish and you also have this used so in used you can go through
here and look at things for instance like this one is a warehouse deal fulfill
by amazon for under 700 dollars its used acceptable so there's not a lot of
details about that but it is amazon warehouse so there
would be a return policy so you just shaved 300 dollars off the price
of the camera right there so inside of this section here you can find
a lot of great deals and just make sure that the seller has a really
positive rating and that they've been around for a little
while Question of the day What camera do you currently
use for your video content or your YouTube content I would love to hear form you and
connect with you in the comment section bellow
