Love the slow motion options in the Canon R7 it of course does 4K at 60 but It also does full HD at 60 frames per Second all the way up to 120 frames per Second in 10 bit color also don't forget About your YouTube thumbnails the Canon R7 shoots high resolution photos at 15 Frames per second in mechanical shutter Mode and 30 frames per second in Electronic shutter mode this is really Useful for capturing thumbnails where There's a lot of movement and action and The 33 megapixel sensor along with the 14-bit raw option gives you a lot of Flexibility when you're editing your Thumbnails trust me thumbnails really Matter plus the autofocus Indie R7 is Ultra reliable with the subject detect For both people animals and vehicles in Terms of the body and design it it's a Very standard mirrorless camera Canon is Known for making easy to use cameras the Bun layout and menu R7 is very simple But it also has dual SD card slots and It has in body stabilization for smooth Handheld and of course it has a flip out Screen so you can see yourself however I Do recommend using a monitor instead if You really want to be serious about your YouTube however I have two small Complaints with the R7 one the lenses From Canon at this moment in time are Pretty limited and the kit lens that the R7 comes with is kind of just meh but I
Have a fix you can actually use a Speed Booster that converts your aps-c sensor Into a full-frame sensor using a reverse Magnifying glass so you actually get the Look of full frame on a budget and it Also gives you access to Canon EF lenses Which are much more affordable but There's also a wider variety of lenses Because there's also third-party Manufacturers that make EF lenses and The autofocus still works perfectly fine Because this this is actually officially Supported by Canon the Canon R7 is one Thousand percent a great camera for YouTubers content creators and even if You want to do a little bit of photos Because it covers the three things you Want to look for in your camera great Design high resolution video and high Resolution photos it pretty much shoots Anything and everything but as much as I Love the Canon R7 there is a camera at The exact same price that's even better For video that's later in this list so Make sure to stick around for that also If you're someone who wants a casual Vlogging and sit-down camera to make Videos like this you want to make sure To keep things simple and easy for you Guys I have the Nikon z30 the z30 has a 20 megapixel aps-c sensor which might Look like a low resolution at first but The low resolution is actually a hidden Advantage the lower megapixel resolution
Actually allows it to be better in low Light and it's also much cheaper because Of that sensor and I promise you you Really won't lose much in terms of Detail because the way the sensor is Made by Nikon it's actually just about As sharp as a 24mb pixel sensor so You're really not losing too much Resolution in terms of video it shoots 4K at 24 and 30 frames per second in 8-bit color however this footage isn't Up sampled so it's just native 4K and You won't get as much flexibility in Your colors as the R7 because it's 8-bit Footage but that's good enough for Vlogging and easy sit down videos like This the Nikon z30 does have a flat Profile however I recommend using the In-camera colors for the most part and They look pretty great the Nikon z30 Also shoots full HD at 60 frames per Second and 120 frames per second for Slow motion and let's be honest slow Motion looks awesome now I know the Nikon z30 is not as powerful as Something like the Canon R7 but it's a Lot cheaper and the body is a lot more Portable making it better for vlogging Plus it has a flip out screen so you can See yourself and the menu and Bun layout Is very straightforward and simple but One huge advantage that the Nikon z30 Actually has over the Canon R7 is that There's a wider variety of lenses
Available for the z30 plus the kit lens That the z30 comes with is probably the Best kit lens I have ever used it's very Sharp and it also has vibration Reduction built right into the lens the Z30 is the perfect vlogging and On-the-go camera but for my serious YouTubers who want to make high-end Content and YouTube bangers I recommend The Sony fx30 it's built with cinematic Filmmakers and serious video Shooters in Mind but it does have one teeny tiny Issues that YouTubers specifically Should be aware of the first thing you Notice about the fx30 is that it has a Cinema style body with mounting points For accessories and handles right on the Camera but you can also attach an audio Handle that has XLR input for high-end Audio mics and it gives you time code so If you're someone that's also shooting Multiple days on your YouTube video or You're doing documentary work your Editor will thank you by having time Code and XLR audio for perfect effect Audio because if there's one thing that I've learned doing YouTube is that your Audio is just as important as what's on The screen inside the fx30 you'll find a 26 megapixel aps-c sensor which gives You 4K at 24 and 30 frames per second And yes it is down sampled or Oversampled from 6K it's pretty much Going to give you the quality of 6K but
In an easy to manage 4K file size and it Also has s-log and S gamut for color Grading but the coolest thing about the Fx30 is that it also has the ability to Output 4.6 K raw using external recorder Up to 60 frames per second raw is going To give you a lot more color information A lot more dynamic range and you could Easily use this to shoot TV commercials If you wanted to you can also shoot 4K Internally up to 60 frames per second Without a crop or reduction in quality However it's not down sampled or Upsampled so it's just native 4K one Thing that really surprised me about the Fx30 is that it can also shoot 4K and 120 frames per second this is a pretty Rare feature to find in modern cameras But especially at this price point the 4K does have a 1.6 times crop so you Zoom into your sensor but it's a nice Feature to have and I kind of just Consider it a bonus in this camera the Sony autofocus is also very fast and Very reliable and the body also has In-body stabilization for smooth Handhelds now for the big problem with This camera when it comes to photos well It really doesn't do very good photos it Only shoots in single frame mode and Only in jpeg with no option for raw Which pretty much makes this a unusable Thumbnail camera because you're not Really going to be able to edit your
Photos and you're only capturing one Photo at a time it's kind of tragic and It's a flaw in this camera but if you're A serious video shooter and you really Want to start using a proper Cinema Camera the fx30 is the best way to start Because it's also the cheapest cinema Camera on the market but the lack of Photo features is just unfortunate and If you you feel the same I actually have A little recommendation for you the Fuji Xh2s has the same video specs as the Fx30 including the ability to Output raw Video but it's a 26 megapixel sensor Which shoots at 15 frames per second Mechanical and 40 frames per second in Electronic shutter mode the autofocus Isn't quite as good as the fx30 but it's Pretty close the only reason it's not Officially on this list is because when You look at the price it comes pretty Close to a hybrid full-frame camera Which I do think is a better value for Most YouTubers and you might be Wondering what is a hybrid full-frame Camera and why should I get one the main Reason to get a full-frame camera is That it has a larger sensor which means You can capture more light and thus more Detail and thus better quality and the Larger sensor also gives you a wider Field of view giving you a more Cinematic look to both your photos and Videos and full frame is also the gold
Standard for most professionals and most Netflix shows movies are also shot on Large format full-frame sensors so if You want to make art and you want to Make YouTube bangers let's talk about The Canon R6 Mark II the best hybrid Full-frame camera out there for the Money today the R6 has pretty much Everything you could possibly want in a YouTube camera without making any Sacrifices to Quality or cutting any Corners it has a 24 megapixel full frame Sensor which produces sharp and crisp of Video quality it's 4K that's over Sampled from 6K in all modes from 24 to 60 frames per second so in every mode You're getting a rich 6K video but in an Easy to manage 4K file size plus it also Has c-log for advanced color grading and It can also output raw in 6K up to 60 Frames per second using an external Recorder that right there is a huge game Changer 6K raw up to 60 frames per Second in this price point Wow and it's still a full-frame camera With in-body stabilization and Brilliant Autofocus in all video modes it never Slows down not even in slow motion when It comes to photos the R6 Mark II does Not let you down it shoots 40 frames per Second electronic shutter mode same as The Canon R7 now this might be a little Bit overkill for photos but it's nice to Know that I can use this as a YouTube
Camera but also a camera to do Professional work outside of YouTube or Shoot for my social media when it comes To design the R6 Mark II is pretty much Exactly what you expect from a Professional mirrorless camera great Button layout simple menus and it's Built like a tank though I do wish they Would release this camera with a cinema Style Body similar to the fx3 or fx30 But the Canon R6 Mark II does have one Major downside the lenses for the RF Mount that this camera uses are very Expensive they're a thousand percent Worth the money but they're expensive And currently Canon doesn't allow for Third-party companies to make lenses for The RF cameras but I do have a fix now There are RF STM lenses that you can Also use on this camera that are mainly Prime lenses but there's no good solid Zoom options available the best thing I'd recommend most people do is use an EF to RF converter to add Canon EF Lenses onto the R6 Mark II you're going To get a wider variety of lenses you're Also going to be able to use third-party Lenses for the EF Mount and they're a Lot more affordable what I love about The Canon R6 Mark II is that it Perfectly balances photos and videos at An amazing price point without making Any sacrifices or cutting any Corners There's no major downsides to this
Camera as long as you're okay with using EF lenses and if you have the money I Highly recommend the RF lenses that Being said make sure to check out the Links in the description down below for The best pricing on all the cameras we Talked about today and I'll see you guys In the next video peace
