Great video mate. I’m still brand new on my TH-cam journey as a photographer but channels like yours keep me inspired and motivated. I really wanna try a mirrorless now.
Thanks for this comprehensive video about setting up a new camera. It has 2 unique points. The first is finding out the highest ISO of one's camera that creates the most acceptable noise level for the user. The second is how much overexposed & underexposed one can shoot photo & videos and then recover the highlights & shadows in post. I've seen them in other reiviewers' videos but nobody has told me to do them when I just purchase a new camera. Great job!
I scoffed at your suggestion to read the manual. Then I began reading the manual, and it's consolidated things in a way I didn't expect (even though I have been using a Canon C200 for two years now). Great advice!
Set your clocks! I now have a habit of resetting all my clocks after the time changes twice a year. Two cameras, a camcorder, a couple Zoom sound recorders, Sound Devices MixPre-6 II, etc. I hate getting back to the computer and some files are an hour off. It bugs me! 🤣
Thanks for listening! Yeah I know what you mean but this hotshot has a bolt mount inside it for exactly this purpose, but generally: never trust a hot shoe
@@stalman Ahhhhh I knew there had to be something! Thanks for explaining. I've always been wary after the hotshoe on my first a7riii got super loose and the top of my flash would be able to move back and forth a inch at the top....
Yesterday TH-cam suggested your 2011 review of the original X100 with TCSTV, so I obviously watched it. Time flies, but glad you’re still making great content!
For all the Sony users: If you have an a6300 or similar, which use the FW50 batteries, I can suggest the Baxxter alternatives. They are red instead of black which I don't lika haha, but the last the exact same time if not even a bit longer and they cost less than half of the Sony's price. And I've never had problems using them, neither friends of mine who are using them as well✌🏼
For years, people like myself find its hard to try photography as instruction are thick and hard to understand, your introduction series are excellent and the words choice + explanations make it simple for beginners
On the note of batteries, even secondary brands that work correctly and are safe usually don’t last as long. So it’s still worth going with the battery made by the camera company.
Tyler I’m really enjoying all your videos 👏keep up the great work 👍 you deserve way more subscribers... your FCPX stuff is awesome.... you have inspired an Aussie film maker to be way better 🙏 Colin. ps love the podcasts too😁
Hey! Can you discuss more the base iso of the canon R? I have the R, but I also have a fuji xt3. I noted on the fuji if I shoot at iso 640 and set the dr400 dynamic range, I get TREMENDOUS dynamic range with a small cost to noise in the shadows... but fewer blown hilights despite having a “base iso” of 160. Looking for a similar mode on the R. Talking raw still shooting here, not video. Thx!
I've had a C70 for a couple months now and you can shoot 4k 120 with V60S cards. Been doing it for months and never had an issue. Angelbrd V60s for me.
Hi, lost with all these offers in this market...I like your videos and I don’t know if you can taking time to give me and advice. I have and old Nikon d5000 with a very crisp 35 mm 1.8 lense. But I would like to bring something with me, even when i do my jogging, to take picture of interesting views in my neighbourhood, especially architectural elements, garden, etc. I want a viewfinder. I know that the choice is huge but you have and idea ? It could be a zoom camera ( I miss so much my very old Nikon Coolpix 4500. I was blown away by the pictures I succeeded to take). So, easy to carry, viewfinder, crisp image, and (no choice for now) affordable. Thank you and have a good summer !!!
I’m confused about base ISO. Your description seems to suggest it is not the lowest ISO? For example the EOS R’s lowest ISO is 100. Is that not the base iso?
It‘a very confusing. You’re lowest ISO is be 100, and for photos that’s all that matters. But if you shoot videos in LOG, any ISO below 400 will throw away a lot of dynamic range.
When I buy a new camera and/or a new lens, I ... 1. Perform test shots under controlled conditions. For example, during test shots under controlled conditions with a new 28mm perspective control lens, I discovered that there was too much barrel distortion to use this lens for architecture. 2. Perform test shots in the field. For example, I took a new 28-200mm lens on a sports assignment with a 180mm prime lens as a backup. I discovered that at the 200mm focal length, the zoom performed more like a 150mm lens. 3. Keep good notes on the performance of the new camera/lens. For example, I have a permanent note in my files to never buy another variable focus zoom lenses because I discovered that it was too difficult to use with studio flash because it was too difficult to calculate the correct flash exposure when the f/stop changed while zooming. 4. Use the new camera/lens as a secondary camera/lens while on an assignment. For example, I was using a new micro 4/3 camera for wedding candids when it failed for the third time during the short time I owned it. After the wedding, I replaced the micro 4/3 with an APS-C mirrorless camera. 5. Use the new camera/lens as a primary camera/lens while on an assignment but have a secondary camera/lens just in case. For example, during a wedding, I discovered that my new camera was not compatible with a few of my older lenses. I had to resort to my secondary camera to use those older lenses.
Favorite lenses on the c70? For my workflow (action sports photography) I'm taking advantage of the super 35 crop and not using the speed booster. I'm actually really interested in / happy with the compact sizes of the rf glass so far.
I like this channel, I've been following you for a long time, but yes, it's annoying when they ask you to subscribe, really, don't do it, we are all adults and we all know how TH-cam works. It is annoying.
I never did it until a video last month. Typically I'll get a few hundred new subs directly from each video, this one got 7,000 so it seems worth it

@@stalman Oh! it worked, congratulations. Personally I find it irritating, but it's just personal. Good luck and I sincerely appreciate your channel. Greetings from Moscow.
“Don’t buy a variable aperture lens”. Maybe, if all of your viewers are professional photographers (I am not) or they have 700-1000$ to spend. If you are skilled enough in photography you can do miracles even with a kit lens. Anything more expensive is for pro usage only. With the rest of your points I totally agree.
Hey Tyler, I'm starting out in photography and videography and I am looking for cameras on a budget rn around Rs 35k-40k ~ $480-$500 most of the recommendation videos I've watched are really old and I'm not able to make a decision, can you make a video about it? Used camera recommendations are appreciated, thanks!
What to do after you buy a camera? Play with it for about ten minutes then shelf it and proceed to look up another camera review to buy it online shortly afterwards.
Great video mate. I’m still brand new on my TH-cam journey as a photographer but channels like yours keep me inspired and motivated. I really wanna try a mirrorless now.
Mirrorless for the win! I always recommend it over dslr to friends wanting to get a new camera.

Stop putting that X100V in your thumbnails and then not talking about it. That camera is too good to be ignored.
Yep i came here for that.
I had to pick a camera for the thumb!
@@stalman Lets see an X100V video then huh? ;)
@@stalman With a Leica COOPH Strap :) Try the real deal one day, you will love it I bet (Leica SL2s, Q2, M10Monochrom...:)
Love the channel btw
@@guillaumevalli5031 curious to see your IG or flicker with the real deal

Coming in from the podcast, great video! Also that is the most trust I think I've ever seen put into a hotshoe on that c70 lmao

Where is X100v...? We love to hear about that.
I love the X100! I started a review that i never finished
@@stalman if you make it half we will still watch it..🙂
Yesterday TH-cam suggested your 2011 review of the original X100 with TCSTV, so I obviously watched it. Time flies, but glad you’re still making great content!
@@snifferstein oh man throwback! still a great camera
@@stalman agreed. i still have the original X100 in silver and i absolutely love it.
Great video, again. I asked this question once on a camera forum and got so many toxic replies. This was great. Cheers!
I hate it when people are being idiots when you’re trying to learn something new. Hope the photo/video journey is going well!
I normally look for a Tyler Stalman video!

It really depends of your shooting video, jpg photos, or raw photos. All work with iso differently
My Fujifilm s5 used to shoot to PNG, bit more wiggle compared to large Jpeg
i think this video production quality is a bit higher than your previous video. congrats tyler for your new editor. all the best
I know what you meant, but Arca Swiss is a brand just FYI they make large format cameras
Extra thumbs up for using a scene from I Am Number Four! (Building exploding behind sunglasses woman)
Great. Thanks. A very helpful video.
I've had a C70 for a couple months now and you can shoot 4k 120 with V60S cards. Been doing it for months and never had an issue. Angelbrd V60s for me.
I’ve had mixed results, even the same brand of V60 at different sizes behaved differently
Do one for film cameras PLEASE!

I’ve been leaning into my Sigma 20mm lately but haven’t found a favourite for the body yet
Did you try the luminance +2 on the c70 display while working outdoors?
at what resolution you record your videos???
5:55 haha yeah, my a6000 looks fine up to ISO 400 😂
But 200 and 400 are als the dynamic range sweet spot I think
I want to get the Sony a7siii next, and ima make sure it definitely pays for itself and more! 💯✔️🔥
?
As far as v90 cards go, I find the prograde brand to be the best bang for your buck. I use four 128gb cards with my a7riv.
What is "correctly exposed" for a C70? EV meter center?
Yes.
Yup that’s right
Download more ram?

Hi Tyler your link for the Luts is broken
Thanks Daniel, every time I copy paste that link it breaks. No idea why but fixed now!
How many people went to this video thinking it was going to be about the x100v? Or was it just me?
Every camera is different, so do some tests😉
Sellfy store link broken
Thanks for the heads up
The Sony camera you’re using is pretty outdated, FX3/6/9 in S log 3 with Phantom Luts is bonkers how close it comes to Arri
Ahaa... Leica COOPH rope strap on that Fuji :).... yuo got to try the real thing one day (SL2s, Q2, M10 monochrome...) :)
Wow this is sign
That's an easy one... Put it on the shelf and marvel at it's price tag 🤣
I literally had no idea there was a difference between memory cards 🤯
It took me a while to figure it out too

When the thumbnail camera doesn't match the video.
You find the next one you want to buy :-D
first thing i do is throw away the manual like a tru Jamaican and they struggle to figure it out on our own dwldwldwldwl.
