Good for you! Congrats and enjoy your Motorola G5!

@cameraexplorations thank you

If so, I believe there are other factors besides this video from a small TH-cam channel, which doesn’t even have 2,000 subscribers at the moment.

Thank you!

Yeah, that would great! 😁

Totally agree!

For video, I recommend considering one of Nikon's recent mirrorless cameras from the Z series. Nikon has significantly improved the autofocus capabilities for video on these newer models.

If so, I’m sorry to hear that. I haven’t been keeping up with US prices for used products lately.

It's nice to hear that my video was helpful! Thanks for sharing this! Regarding autofocus, Fujifilm has significantly improved their autofocus on newer models. The X-H1 and X-T3 were both released in 2018, and there's not much of a difference between the two in this aspect. However, the X-T4, released in 2020, is definitely the best of the three.

That's a good scenario where the camera's default video settings really come in handy. :)

It can be challenging to find a DSLR camera for $100, but if you visit a website like MPB, you will find quite a few options. A Canon 50D, 60D, or 7D would be great choices if you're looking to get into photography.

Nice!

Thanks for your input!

Fujifilm offers a versatile lens suitable for both photography and filmmaking: the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS. If you check the MPB website, you can find a few options priced around $250 USD.

@ Thanks for the advice

Approx. 290 is mentioned on one of Canon's official websites (Canon Cyprus).

Enjoy it!

I haven't heard anything regarding an update that will allow longer 4k video recording. I see that the latest update is version 1.3, launched in October 2024.

I'm glad you agree with every aspects covered in this video, and I'm sorry to hear that one issue - the silent shutter - prevented it from checking all the boxes for you. I wouldn't say I'm misleading people with that PRO. While it's true that this isn't the quietest silent shutter mode out there (many are more discreet), it is slightly quieter than the normal shutter, just not as much as most of us might expect. Thank you for pointing this out!

I am not very familiar with Pentax DSLR lenses, but there are definitely prime lenses with wide aperture openings available. While I’m not sure about f/1.2, a 50mm f/1.8 prime lens should be easy to find. Honestly, f/1.8 is sufficient for low-light situations. Such a prime lens comes highly recommended for any camera brand - it provides good bokeh and is very helpful for night photography. Regarding landscapes, the lenses you already have are good and suitable if you close the aperture between f/8 and f/11. For macro photography, if you can find a compatible macro lens, with manual focus, for your camera, that would be great. You don’t really need autofocus for macro shots. Hope this helps!

​@cameraexplorationsCan someone become a professional photographer with this camera? It has a maximum ISO of 1600 and 3 fps. Pentax has two lenses with an f/1.2 aperture. One is analog, and the other is digital but has manual focus only, with aperture adjustment available through the camera. How does one become a professional photographer?

With practice and motivation.

Glad it was helpful!

Happy Birthday! Enjoy it! 😀

It's perfect as a backup or travel camera, and it's great that you found it at a good price! Enjoy!

Yes, absolutely - no doubt about that. And if you can find it in good shape at a good price, that's a bonus.

@ i actually found it for $400 on ebay then lost the bid 😒 i’ll search for another one, unless you have any other suggestions on something similar/better/great for beginners and maybe is a bit older so it doesn’t cost as much

Hi! Also watch my other video "The Canon V10 Solution For Charging and Streaming" - the solution for drawing power from the USB cable is to have a cable with two USB-C heads.

Canon 2000D is a good camera for beginners, yes.

Yes, it does

@cameraexplorations Does the V10 overheat recording Clean HDMI externally with a USB C to C cable and USB C power supply? Normal USB power supplies provide +5V where a USB C power supply provides +12V, which produces less heat. This also makes it so you can use the Webcam mode without using the battery. I suspect it's the battery overheating.

It's nice to hear that!

Good to see that this camera fits your needs! Be sure to check out my other video about this camera, 'The Canon V10 Solution for Charging and Streaming,' where I demonstrate that the camera turns off due to overheating after recording in 4K for 15 minutes. If this doesn't bother you, then it's the right camera for you.

@cameraexplorations I don't actually now how well it works an an HDMI camera. Do you know if it runs on battery in HDMI mode? In USB webcam mode it runs on battery and trickle charges, which sucks.

@@CaleMcCollough I haven't used the HDMI mode and don't have the camera anymore to test it, unfortunately; but I'm pretty sure it runs on battery only in HDMI mode.

@cameraexplorations It runs on battery in webcam mode but it does not say about HDMI mode.

LUMIX Sync is the only way I’m aware of to transfer photos and videos directly to an Android device. The only alternative would be to transfer the files to a laptop or PC using a card reader and then move them to the Android device with a cable.

@cameraexplorations Thank you for your advice, I am currently preparing to buy a camera, my first choice is lumix g7, but I don't have a laptop to transfer video photos from android mobile, except that the camera's SD card can be used in mobile. to do

Yes, you don't need a capture card, it is plug and play (like a webcam). It can record in both 4k and Full HD, but I wouldn't advise recording in 4k for extended periods, since it overheats.

I only see two that are overexposed, and that's when the sky occupies a lot of space in the frame. Either way, these are just quick snaps for fun, taken with a cheap camera to show that you can still have a good time even without expensive gear. That's the goal of the video.

The 80D is one of those legendary cameras. Although the 90D is newer and better (still without IBIS, though), it hasn't stayed in the public's mind like the 80D did. The same goes for the 60D and 70D. While they were good cameras for their time, the 80D has always been the standout star among them.

Nice to hear that you like it so much that you want to get another one! I also miss my Canon 80D. I now have its smaller brother, the 77D, and I’m trying it out, but the 80D is better.

That's an exception, but indeed, it's a smartphone with a tilting screen. Good for you! Enjoy it!

I agree.

Glad I could help and thank you!

Yes, I also owned a Canon 60D and completely agree with everything you've described here.

So which Canon would you recommend for beginners with great AF?

​@@nami20622 tbh in still on the 60d but most newer than the 60d should be better sense as they all have dual AF unlike the 60d

Yes, newer Canon cameras with Dual Pixel AF technology offer better autofocus. The Canon 80D and 90D perform well, but for great autofocus, Canon's mirrorless cameras like the R50, R10, and R7 are excellent choices.

There are many good options depending on the budget. At the moment, for me, the best one for photos and videos at a reasonable price is the Canon R10. If the price is too high, then a second-hand Canon 800D, 77D, or 80D is also a good choice.

Of course not there are other good options, I was just talking about the best options, which are dslr and mirrorless cameras.

Yes, it seems like I do look a bit like him. Thank you for the comment! :D

Yes, that's a disappointment, and they're not the only ones who do this. I've experienced it with other brands too... market segmentation.

Well said! Thanks for sharing this!
