- Using two Canon Rebel T7's to see how the kit lens vs a Canon 50mm Prime lens. Hear my thoughts on why you should trash your kit lens, but not buy the best possible lens... Hear me out. Definitely a good video for beginners.
In this video you'll see me comparing photographs taken from the Canon Rebel T7's kit lens against a better-suited Canon 50mm Prime. The goal is to show you how much MORE important good glass is, and how capable your beginner camera is when you put new glass on it.

The 50mm USM 1.4 : amzn.to/42KXyAS
thanks so much, i can already see the big difference
Love your enthusiasm for helping others on their photography journal.
Ill have to look back at these videos in the future once i get back into photography to take pictures of TI because you are giving out some great tips and knowledge :)
Great video! I've been doing photography for fun for a few years with just the kit lenses on my T7 but this for sure gives me a ton of insight on getting a new lens.
Welcome to the crew! And yes it saved me some money doing it this way before I got another camera setup later. These bad boys are quite capable :)
This was a very satisfying watch, and just sold me on an upgrade. Thanks!
Happy I can help!
Thank you!!! I have been looking for this information.
Well I’m glad you found it! More content on the way as well. I usually see every comment so ask anything and I’ll answer if I can help :)
This video pushed me to upgrade to the 50mm 1.8, and I love it. Thanks so much!
😄
Thanks man, going to go and pick one of these up this evening.
Enjoy!!
Fantastic video for beginners thank you!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful!
I’m so glad it helps!
Good stuff my guy. More videos are needed man. I enjoy supporting the small black content creators✊🏿
super high quality video. love the content man :)
Thank you for the encouragement then. When I get back home, more content on the way! Big time.
Thanks so much for this video! I literarily felt this way today after shooting on my T7! I was like maybe i picked the wrong camera! But now im going to invest in the 50mm cuz i want to really take it seriously! Great video btw, keep it up!
Thank you! Yes get every drop of value you can out of your setup before another big purchase! Hope you get great shots!
Super helpful video. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to, and happy to know it was helpful!
Always updates your lenses! It will blow your mind! I’m referring to High end lenses that you can afford to shoot with! Your clients will love you for it and you will love the end results! Great looking outdoor scenery Larry!
Hey brother, I got some good stuff coming starting this weekend! Going to do a few film shoots!
So helpful, thank you! I know this video is a year old but it still really helped me. I’m definitely sold on the 50mm! Your comparison shots sold me. I’m a beginner so learning for cheap for now until I can upgrade in future. But for now, the T7 with a prime lens will do!
I still use mine, ;)
I just bought a Canon T7 and I was thinking of getting a better lens so your video did help me to understand better about lenses thank you. Michael G.
Thanks I really needed to see this because I bought a rebel 7 and wanted to get a full frame but I do have lots of lenses primes and a few zoom
Yeah man, I just wanted to make sure people got every drop of quality out of this camera for SURE before they went and upgraded. I may redo this video. I've got some way better images since then lmao
Excellent - to the point! Thank you :)
Thank you! I’m glad it helped or at least was good info for ya’
Excellent. Point... Sensor tech these days is pretty darn good. Dont believe the hype. Take ur time and learn, most of all have fun.
Thank you!
got the t7 and getting the 50m, Great Video !
Fantastic news! Congratulations :)
This landscape looks just like grizzly island near Suisun, CA. Great video btw.
Excellent. Very informative
Thank you!
Ty very helpful ❤
Glad you found value and happy to help!
i have the canon t 7 have shot a ton of amazing pictures even with kit lens but since i also love portraits and im getting clients for that this lens is a must have for me cant wait to get my hands on one ! keep up this amazing content dude !
Thank you so much!
ok I have the kit lens good video now let get down to work when I shot in my back yard I noticed that that the shadows were really dark in automatic mode, now we knows the problem, how do I compensate for the darks and the lights being washed out w/ this camera lens, question: I was shooting w/ the view finder, if I was shooting w the live mode would I be able to see the over/under saturation on the lcd ? I would think that what you see is what you get, is this a true statement ? next in manual modes what should I be shooting with.to get a better image?😕
I’m finding this long after you made the video, but great video. I have an old Nikon that I did the same with, put the kit lenses in a box and put a 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm prime in the bag. Always loved those $200 and below lenses. I know there’s better than the f1.8 lenses I shot but while learning and practicing, I couldn’t justify spending the money on higher end glass to my wife… I am now in college, funded by the VA, so when I was sent my school supplies for my photography class, I was sent the cheapest kit the VA could find because my old Nikon is struggling and needs some TLC to keep going. I am now shooting a T7 in my college photography classes. Being the government, they can afford to send people all over the world for symposiums but they won’t spring for a $130 - $200 prime lens. Well, back to saving pennies. I’m much too old to be a broke college kid.
I just bought the Canon 50mm lens. I can see why they they call it the nifty fifty. Awesome for blurry foregrounds and backgrounds to make the subject stick out.❤
It's definitely fun for portraits on EF cameras! Congrats on the new glass!
Hello Larry!
I am a new to photography and I got the T5 as a gift. Will the 50mm work great with the T5 as well?
Great video. I just got a t7 and am new to photography. The kit lens is ok but I also picked up a 50mm 1.8 stm for $129. I am really happy with it. I am thankful for an older model because the ef lenses are so cheap now!
Yea man, you got the right idea. Enjoy your camera :)
Do you feel the 50mm is too zoomed in on the T7?
@@MikeL0084 Ah, yes with the t7 crop your 50 shoots at about an 75-80mm equivalent. For me I think the benefit of the picture quality is more of what I want people to go home with.
As for my own usage, I’m not upset about it. I am not at all a fan of the original kit lens quality at all. I’d rather take a few steps back with better glass than use the kit lens.
@@PhotoMeLarry It's a shame bc the lens is amazing. But I find myself having to step back a pretty large amount (8-10 feet) before I feel comfortable shooting portraits. I wish Canon made a more affordable 35mm.
I have a Canon T7 and I have a Nikon D7000 I want to use my Nikon lenses on my Canon T7 can you please and advise me on which one I should buy . I did send for one but bought the wrong adapter . Thank you. Michael G
I purchased a cannon EOS rebel t7 DSLR I got it for a steal on FB market place. I have the standard lens it came with 18-55 mm. I purchased a Feiyu SCORP 2 gimbal. Because I decided to transition from photography to videography. I want to shoot basketball videos. I understand now this may not be the ideal videography camera. But this is how and where I started before doing any research really. What lens could you recommend for me to use for better quality videos. I’ve been told a prime lens may be the best route to go
Nice video I just got the 1.8 lense 2 days ago and I wanted to know how to get the background to blur
I’d say shoot a picture of a subject 7 feet away or less, set your aperture as low as you can. 1.8 is the lowest you can go, but that’s where you’ll see the most bokeh (blur) behind your subject.
1.8 should give you plenty blur, maybe even too much. So take a few shots at different f stops til you get familiar with your bokeh results and distances to subject :)
Hola excelente video saludos desde México.
Great video! This model will work with my T7,correct - EF 50mm f/1.8 STM? Thanks!
Yes, these cameras support EF lenses just fine. Just know the T7 isn’t full frame, so there will be a slight magnification. I believe it’s about 1.6 increase. So your 50mm EF will produce what would look like roughly 78mm lens from the spot you took the photo. But, what you see through the viewfinder IS what your image will be, there’s nothing to fear.
The quality difference is so worth it to me. I exclusively use EF lenses with my rebel and only have the stock lens in case I do another comparison video in the future 😂
Have you tried to record a youtube video with this camera and lens? When I try to record myself it never focus
No I’ve only used these lenses for photos. I have a whole different setup for recording video. I do all my video on Sony cameras.
Hi Larry I have the exact same camera and still have the kit lens for it. I saved up and bought the sigma 85 1.4 and the bokeh is a beast but when I place it on M on the settings it messes up my focus. I took it to a camera shop and they just told me to use the no flash setting. It works perfectly but I can’t change my settings for it bc it’s on Auto should I upgrade my camera ? My upgrade I wanted to get was a full frame Canon Rp or R
Funny enough my partner has that same lens. Give me some time but I can test it out myself soon and give you advice with confidence :) feel free to ping me again if it feels like too much time is passing, but I have a travel plan starting tomorrow… hence why I need some time.
But if you are looking to upgrade and want to keep using ef lenses natively, I picked a used 5d my III on eBay for a few hundred bucks. That may be worth you checking out as well!
Awesome!!
Let’s say I’m just looking forward to take pics for Instagram/ social media etc, which lens would you recommend for anyone to use. Granted i owned a eso rebel T7
I would skip the USM then and just get the 50mm 1.8 . Being able to take photos with nice bokeh on the t7 can go a long way. And the 1.8 is about $99 ish brand new.
Might even Be a good idea for a video bow that I think about it :)
@@PhotoMeLarry THANKS MUCH I FIGURED THAT WOULD BE GOOD ONE FOR ME TO GO WITH :)
can you put a link to the lens so we can buy? I'm too new to distinguish the difference of all the different lenses on the market when searching, any help appreciated!!
Man, I can't believe I didn't do this already!! Sorry, my friend. I put it in the description now! I also pinned it as a comment. Thank you for asking.
Do you have any links to the 50mm in the vid? Or any recommended 50mm lenses? Thanks
This is the 50mm I was using at that time :)

@@PhotoMeLarry Thanks!
I just bought the 50mm lens. Any tips for family pictures at a state park with a lot of big trees. I bought the rebel t7 but haven’t really gotten around to play with it a lot. Thank you in advance
If all the family is on one line shoulder to shoulder you can use lower aperture’s and get good images. But if folks are standing behind each other or their faces are different distances away from the lens, you may want to use 5.6 or higher, maybe even f8. When I first started doing group shots I missed focus a lot not keeping this in mind.
If you do want good details of the family and the environment without background blur, have some fun between f11 and f16 as long as there’s some good light available :).
I’ll leave the rest up to you but that’s what I find ruins family shots the most. Using an f stop where the depth of field is narrow and some members of the family are beyond that range slightly.
@@PhotoMeLarry thanks for the quick response but you lost me lol what’s 5.6 or f8? I should probably mention I don’t know anything about cameras lol
@@christinalanfranco3166 Ah ok understood.
These numbers are your Fstop setting, or the "Aperture". It's the size of the hole your lens opens or closes for letting light in. When the hole is small (which is usually a big fstop number like 8 or more) you will get more subjects in detail (even if they're far from the camera). If the number is low (1.8 for example) it means the hole is pretty large, letting in a lot of light, this is mostly what makes the images where a single subject or person may be in crisp focus, but the background is all blurry and creamy like a "professional photographer" took the photo.
The only thing I will reccomend because if you're new I dont want to overwhelm you with advice. I say learn how to put your camera into Av mode if it has it, and try taking pictures with different values. Low numbers and high numbers and look the photos. I believe if you do this, you'll quickly understand how this setting affects how much of your image is in detail and how much isnt.
Ping me any time for any questions or advice, if I can help you I always will.
@@PhotoMeLarry I will try and see if I can understand all this info lol thank you I appreciate your help.
The kit lens is fine for well lite areas. It's just about learning how to use one's equipment and it's strengths and weaknesses.
Is getting the f1.4 50mm really worth double the price for the f1.8 50mm?
Very good question, and the answer is really (it depends)...
The one I have I got second hand for only 50 ish more dollars than the 50mm brand new, so that was reasonable to me. It was in good condition from what I remember. If you want it brand new, its around $350 - $400 vs $100 so I'd probably pass if I was exclusive to only owning never before used gear.
I'm a bit more thrifty though personally because I realized one day, "all of my gear is used, and it all works". So I shop for good deals on used more often than I buy brand new now. Hope this helps!
The kit lens pics are overexposed?
Can I buy a camera lense separately? Or do I have to buy a whole other camera? I have the reb t7 camera kit
Yes you are free to buy more lenses. The entire EF mount family is available for you to use. Prior to the release of the EOS R, the EF mount lenses was the latest series of lenses from canon.
So now they are less expensive and still fantastic!
So hit up, Amazon, eBay, or even your local camera shop. The ef series of lenses have been made by the millions for so many decades. There are a ton of lenses available everywhere. Even brand new!
@@PhotoMeLarry thank you so much ❤
@@sage266 of course! Good luck out there :)
Muito bom!👏👏👏
Is this 50mm the 1.8 or 1.4?
The 1.4
What a difference.
Who sells a US market warranteed Rebel T7 with "nifty-fifty", without kit lens?
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking here, but I'll take a swing at it anyway.
If you want a Rebel T7 with the nifty 50, and not the kit lens in one purchase... I think your best bet is ebay or second hand marketplaces.
I dont think there's a package that comes the way you're asking out of the box. But you could buy a rebel t7 body, and then buy the lens. Thats my best understanding of the answer I believe you're hoping for.
But I dont know a store or "package deal" that exists without including the standard kit lens, and all items are brand new.
💪🏾💯
Why's the kit so bright
IT IS NOT THAT BAD AND THIS VIDEO CLEALY SHOWS NOTHING OUT OF UR EXAMPLES. MOST OF THAT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED WITH SETTING AND EDDITS.
Yyyyyyyaaaasssssssss
Yep. Yep I'm buying a new lens.
