I bought my 2013 EOS Rebel SL1/100D in 2021 after shooting for almost ten years with a Nikon D3100, which I loved. I got beautiful images with my Nikon kit lenses until I lost my whole system when traveling in south America. After that, the Canon 100D was the most available option for my budget. My Rebel SL1/100D hasn't slowed down my photography one bit. To solve the dynamic range problem early Canon models have with washed out skies in outdoor shooting, I rely on ND and CPL filters to keep the color saturation and blue of the sky without losing the rest of my shot.

For any other image challenge, whenever people ask me whether they need a better camera body, I tell them to put their money into their glass instead. It continues to serve me well.

I shoot mostly street, nighttime, and concerts, so I need wide apertures and I don't want to mess with ISO noise in post-processing. The ISO can be a limitation on this camera, but it's easy to solve with a couple changes. For lowlight photography, upgrading my lenses to faster apertures were the game changer. I don't need to use extreme high ISO because I have Sigma Art series f/1.4 primes at 30, 50 and 85mm focal lengths, plus a great little Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 zoom. Additionally, the Sigma Art series makes two absolutely killer crop sensor zoom lenses that beat the pants off the similar Canon L series lenses and for several hundred dollars less. If you want to shoot mostly with zoom, their 18-35mm f/1.8 and 24-70 f/2.8 are the best glass you can put on any Canon APS-C camera.

If you can't afford the Art series, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 that came before it is still a great lens, and Samyang makes a beautiful MF 85mm f/1.4 that you can grab used for ~$150. Christopher Frost has done really solid lens reviews on Sigma, Canon, Tamron and Samyang lenses for Canon which have informed my buys.

I'm also having tons of fun with the Lensbaby Optic Swap lens system (available in 30, 50 and 85mm focal lengths depending on which optic). Their original Lensbaby series are pretty inexpensive now at second-hand prices and you can get beautiful effects that make your photography really unique.

MPB is the best of all the secondary markets for camera gear. Plus you get their six-month warranty. Never buy new. There is no reason to eat all the depreciation on new gear when people are constantly upgrading and trading out their systems. You can get high-end glass at second-hand prices through them without any of the risk you have when buying from, say, eBay sellers.

I’ve just found your channel a week ago and I really like your content, the style of your videos it’s really pleasing. I’ve always wanted to pursuit photography and videography, but it has been harsh for me to do it. I’m from Mexico and started this with a canon sl2, then I bought the 80d which I truly believe was the camera that helped me to improve significantly and finally a month ago I was able to pair the 80d withthe sigma 18-35mm f1.8. This combo has helped me to give more quality to my project not needing to upgrade necessarily to a full frame world as this combo offers huge quality to the work I do and has been for me the best way to learn and improve.

What would be the best lens for a T7 for sports photography? OR should a just switch to the R10?

[Owen_Maers]

Love your videos mate, always great advice! I've got a 650d with a 50mm 1.8 STM lens at the moment and thinking of upgrading to the R50 with a 50mm lens. Funny you brought up F1 earlier in the video as I'll be in the Aston Martin garage!

[TheFitChristian]

Never buy the first one if you want to stream or make videos. There is a rectangular box in the middle and you cannot make it go away. Just a warning.

[sebastianrowe]

Thanks for the video. I just got the Canon 2000d or T7 so pleased to see you recommend it. It's working well for me so far. I bought it so I could get some decent lenses cheap. Finding the autofocus not great but other than that I'm finding it a great camera and really enjoying using it.

[lilmoldavite]

Is the cannon better than Sony for photography?

[Journal_of_edits]

Hey man
Im getting the canon eos 100d for 150 dollars. How is the camera for a beginner. Should i go ahead and buy it?

[mintumiri]

I am really new to cameras. There's a guy i work with on events like weddings and any such doing videos and photos and i use his old nikon 5300d. I want to get myself one but my knowledge on this field is close to zero.
What are my options without lense restrictions? Cheap ones though (any brands)...

[snowwalker]

With the R10 and speed booster the Full frame EF lenses are great options for lenses. You would actually get more light in because of the speed booster.

I've been using the T6 since it was gifted to me on Thanksgiving.& before that, I was using my smartphone, so i already learned a decent bit. But had no experience with a real camera, so it was a great camera to get me started but I'm in need of a hybrid camera since I also do videography.& am learning about cinematography. So ive been looking at the R8🤔

[longingbydesign]

Truth is: There is no good Canon beginner camera, because ALL of them make you invest in the least appealing camera brand, tying you to a ridiculous R mount policy that won't leave you with alot of choice when it comes to buying lenses later. Go with L-Mount or E-Mount!

[thegaminghub]

T7 is hands down the best beginner camera it literally got me going in understanding camera settings and how to properly understand the concepts of photography all while being an easy camera to use, just bought my first full frame and went with an R8

[felix]

What about the canon r50 compared to the r10 ?

[coach_yo]

R50 should be on here for sure. It’s a great beginner/intermediate camera.

[alexSpunkt.]

Great video as always, are you taking the T7 on a field trip? That would be awesome 😀

Do we have to buy hair before starting the course?

[cotzker]

In my opinion, those who want to start with a DSLR, the most recommended is the 90d. Much more than t7(800d). But since I have experience with these cameras, you should choose a manufacturer that has more lenses for aps-c. For example Fuji or Sony
It's frustrating that there isn't a rich selection of lenses for Canon aps-c cameras

[krishnamoorthynatarajan]

Your videos are immaculate and quality is out of the world.

Which is best APS-C or full frame
Also DSLR vs mirrorless which is best.
My ranking based on best one.
1) Full frame mirrorless
2) Full frame DSLR
3) APS-C mirrorless
4) APS-C DSLR

Can you please post a video on this also I am a beginner. I want to do more photography and time to time videos too. Please suggest which is best.

Hey is your course a monthly thing or 1 time purchase?? Thank you
