Time to find a camera.
There's Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic.
I like Casey Neistat's stuff, and he uses Canon so...
1D,  5D,  6D,  7D,  80D,  77D...
That's a lot of choices.  So let's find the right one
Hey everyone, Camber here coming back 
at you from Alabama, and today we're talking
about everyone's favorite subject, or at
least one of mine and that's cameras and
we're gonna figure out which one is the
best choice for you and your filmmaking.
If you're new here, this channel is all
about teaching you how to use your
equipment to make great films so if
that's you consider subscribing.
Now, the camera is arguably one of the 
most important parts of the filmmaking
process because without it we wouldn't
have anything to watch, but if you're
picking one for the first time it can be
very overwhelming to figure out which
one is best for you.  This is just a
tool in the process; story is the most
important part of your film and just
because you get the best camera out there
it's not going to magically make your
film good.  So we're gonna talk about
two types of cameras.  You got your DSLR
cameras and your mirrorless.  With the
DSLR, when you look through your
viewfinder you're looking through a
series of mirrors that's showing you the
picture out through the lens.  Whereas
with the mirrorless camera, you're
looking at an electronic version of
what's being seen.  So the DSLR cameras
are bigger because the mirroring system
involved, whereas the mirrorless cameras
are smaller, more compact, lighter weight
because there's no mirroring system in
them.  So we're gonna look at Canon for
DSLR and Sony for mirrorless, and before
we go into all the stats on these
different cameras, there's three things
to keep in mind.  That's sensor size,
the resolution, and the frame rate. Each of
these three things is going to get their
own video in more depth, but for a quick
overview: your sensor size is gonna
determine how well your camera does in
lower lighting conditions and also what
field of view your lens sees. Your
resolution is gonna determine whether
it's HD - 720, Full HD - 1080, or 4k which is
four times Full HD. And then there's your
frame rate which is normally 24 frames
per second in video. If you have 60
frames per second that will give you
slow motion, and then if you have 120
frames per second that will give you an
even smoother slow motion. So as we get
into all these cameras there's links in
the description so you can see any of
them on Amazon for the best price
available.
So starting with Canon, the T6 will run you
$450, and that will give you an APS-C
size sensor, full HD up to 30 frames per
second, and HD up to 60 frames per second.
Then on the Sony side we've got the
a6000, which will run you $550.
And that has an APS-C
sensor also, and will go full HD
up to 60 frames per second.
Next up for Canon is
the 80D, and it will run you $1,100.
It also has an APS-C size sensor,
full HD up to 60 frames per second,
also a flip-out touchscreen,
and a good autofocus system.
Then on the Sony side, we've got the
a6300, and this camera will run you $900.
and it has an APS-C size sensor, 4k up to 30 frames
per second, and full HD up to 120 frames per second.
Next up for Canon, we've got the
6D Mark 2, which will run you $1,900.
and it has a full frame sensor, full HD up
to 60 frames per second, and a flip-out touchscreen.
Then back over to Sony,
you've got the a6500. Still with an
APS-C size sensor, but now we've got the
4k up to 30 frames per second, full HD up
to 120 frames per second, a touchscreen,
and also built-in image stabilization.
So the sensor itself is stabilized rather
than having to get stabilized lenses.
Last on the Canon side, we've got the 5D
Mark 4. This camera will run you $3,300,
and it will give you 4k at 30 frames per
second, Full HD up to 60 frames per second,
HD up to 120 frames per second,
and a touch screen system
And last for Sony, we've got
the a7S Mark 2, which is a
full-frame camera. It will give you 4k up to
30 frames per second, Full HD up to 120
frames per second.  Also with
the built-in image stabilization.
That's still a lot of choices. Which one's the best one for
me?
Really the best camera for you is the one that you have with you.
What?
You don't have to buy a new camera to be
making good films. Chances are you
already have a really good camera that
you carry around with you all the time.
It can shoot slow motion, HD, even 4k videos.
Casey Neistat shot his entire
Christmas video on the Galaxy Note 8.
A phone... And the reason that was so
good is because it had a good story behind it.
Yes, they knew how to use them well, and
understand the limits of those phones
to make the video look good,
but he was able to make a good
video with a phone because
there was a good story behind it.
So if all you have is your smartphone, start taking
it out and taking videos everywhere.
Push your phone to the limit and see what you can
do with it.
I've even used this in a wedding video before.
So if you know how to use your
camera, you can make them work for you.
However, if you do have the
money I suggest getting a DSLR or
mirrorless camera because you can change
out the lenses and shape your shots way
better with different options
and lenses that you can buy.
And speaking of lenses I, would suggest getting a
less expensive camera to start with and investing in
high-quality lenses.  The reason for that
is because whatever camera you get is
probably going to be out of date a year
from now, but if you get a really good
lens, that lens will still be really good
no matter what camera you put it on,
and you can keep using on new cameras 
in the future. So if you've got the money go
ahead and get a new camera you can start
working with. If not, use what you got you
can still make good films with it. Don't
wait to make a film until you have all
the equipment you think you need because
then you're going to miss out on
opportunities. I've done that before,
and I've learned just use what you have,
make a good film, and invest in more in the future.
So guys if you made it this far, hit that thumbs up.
Leave a comment down below about what camera
you're using, or which one
you plan on buying and why.
Subscribe if you haven't, and remember that the
only way to get better at something is to practice.
So get out there and film something.
See you soon.
