If you've already bought the SL3 or are planning on getting one - what projects have you done or are planning to do with it? Let me know right here in the comments section (:
Kai Creative it’s my main camera
Nice! What projects are you filming with it? (:
Kai Creative is it a good camera for review/unboxing videos?
I organize live online educational webinars and use the Canon SL3, 24mm lens, and a ATEM mini as my webcam setup. I was live streaming in-person events until we had to switch to an online format.
Weddings just about anything really
I just bought the camera, and so far love it for filming purposes. I do some vlog style videos in 1080p and cinematics of car events in 4k too. Little bit of a bummer for the 2.64% crop and no dual pixel auto focus in 4K, but i'm fine to manually do it. Still gets some great results
Edit: I've got a 12-24mm wide angle lens and it basically eliminates the issue of a crop!
Hey, I'm also interested in getting the same camera for car photography and cinematic films for car shows, how would you say the camera is doing?
Also do you have any place I can see some of your work?
Hey mate I wanted to buy this until I found out about the 2.64% crop.. Does the bigger lense have any downsides running the 4k? As I'll be using it for car events as well and even just filming nature and stuff I'd really like to have the full resolution the crop is just too much.. Have you got a video or anything at all to show with the 12-24mm in comparison to the 18-55?
@@Thunder0wnsz Actually, I now switched to a 10-18mm lens. I've got a video on my channel showcasing it a few weeks ago in my 'Tech Videos' Playlist 👍
They I want to buy a camera mainly for landscape photography should I go for it?
@Eren Yeager For the right price, but a lot of time has past and there have been many better cameras release at the same price point.
Definitely use it for TH-cam videos, it will give good quality video at 1080p which is enough as most people have full hd monitors or TV's, and no need to say about that amazing dual pixel auto focus
Have to agree with the 1080 being great! Use it at 50/60fps to get that nice slow motion in post (:
Thanks Kai !
This was one of the cameras on my shortlist as i am about to begin photographing my miniatures and also videoing myself painting miniatures for my upcoming You Tube channel and your review(s) on the Canon EOS 250D made me decide it was the perfect camera for my budget !
Just what I needed to know. Thanks Kai!
Sigma 18-35 mm gives you wide angle and cinematic view on canon sl3
loved that intro man, along with song playing
currently deciding between the m50 or sl3 for my fitness youtube channel game and social media for picrutres of myself.
Great video, well narrated and very informative!! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! (:
This was so extremely helpful! Thank you
☺️
thanks you - i was one who ask before about 4k video 😀
Thanks for that Weiday! I hope that it helped to answer some of your questions (:
Would definitely consider it as a B cam/backup. The way you go about the technical aspects, is surely good advice for many videographers out there. 👍🏼
Thanks bro! Have you considered whether you will go for the M50 or the SL3??
@@KaiCreative It's a tough one. I could go with either one, but after careful consideration, its the M50 with a speed booster. Its greater features would allow me to do more with it, and I would just need to buy extra batteries, which is best to do anyway.
Yeah - I always seem to be going for the M50 and speedbooster for quick video projects (:
As an enthusiast wildlife photographer, sometimes I feel like capturing few movie footages. Seriously contemplating SL3!
Great video thank you!!
Great video! I am considering the SL3 for photography as a hobby. Some family portraits, some bird pics, indoor/ourdoor quick pics. But also curious for sport photography of the kids, including video clips of sports? Both outdoor (such as soccer or water skiing), and indoor (such as volleyball/basketball)? 1080p is fine. I can't find any review info on taking sporting videos indoors. Lighting in gyms is always a challenge.
Thanks so much for this
No problem! Hope it was useful for you!
Great review thanks
Thanks Joy Joy 🙏 i hope you found it useful ☺️
Yeah thanks
I saw your 250D vs M50 comparison, did it nicely.
Please tell me for photography Canon 250D or Nikon 5600 which one is best.
From the research I've done the canon 850d will be identical for video as the SL3 with the only difference being that it will shoot 24p in 1080p but the 4k will be identical, cropped and with no dpaf
IMichael McFadden build quality should be better on the 80d. I have the SL3 and compared to my 5D it feels much cheaper. A non issue in doors but if you are using outdoors often then build quality might be worth the extra $$$. Also the controls might be a bit more familiar to the higher end cameras like the 5D on the 80d. If they had dual pixel AF in 4K on either that would have made these cameras a must. I always wish it did. Would be amazing.
Can you use autofocus / facetracking, and still controll aperture manually? And what happens to autofocus/facetracking if an opbjekt is passing by inbetween?
24 fps & all-i recording is what matter to me. You explaining that the 4k has a crop factor made me want to stick with buying Canon T7i since it has more AF points too (even though it doesn't have ALL-i, I still prefer this over photography). Thanks!
BTW, does this camera have C-log?
We’ve paired this as a b cam for our 5d mk4 and it fits it perfectly. Using the right lense (tamron 35mm) and proper white balance and it’s performs well. That’s in HD. In 4K it’s solid assuming the right environment. For talking heads and Corp video. Use the manual focus with the focus peaking and stop down to f3 to ensure it’s sharp if the subject moves and you should be good to go. We don’t vlog so I can’t comment but using the kit lens in 4K makes the crop less of an issue since it’s meant for that sensor size.
It’s not perfect but for the price it’s great for certain projects. The 5D is amazing, this is pretty close.
Great video. Thank you 👊🏽👍🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for this insight - Jorge! I think you're right with the 4K - in controlled environments with the right lighting and lens. Interesting that you successfully use it for your corporate videos! That's pretty Awesome! The Mark IV is such a beast Love it! (:
Would love to see you do a lens comparison with this camera using kit vs other lenses like the sigma 18-35 or similar quality lenses meant for aps-c if you have any. With good lighting it helps to see the various quality differences between lenses with a camera like this and how much a good lens helps and how often it’s good to go with the kit.
Thanks for your reply. Stay safe! 🙌🏽😷✌🏽
@@jayel27 I'll add it to the list! (: Thanks for your input on this (:
Hi Kai. I make food videos and I use iPhone SE 2018. Now I am interested in 200D mark ii which is SL3. Please have a look at my french fries video if you don't mind. That's the way I shoot. So, iPhone is okay for me or I should get a SL3? Some have suggested me M50. Please guide me. Thanks and regards
is it good for TH-cam videos like reviews and some interviews 🤔 4k with 0.71x adapter? and 50mm 1.8 lens
Can this camera be good for films, or for events like weddings and all sort? Please I need a fast response because I'm thinking of getting this camera
PAL mode allows video 1080p at 25fps.
Which is better between 250D and camon m50 II - if I think for 4k wihin this budget !?
I am planning to vlog on the sl3 as well as shooting occasional b-rolls
Not a bad choice at all for the Broll work! What lens are you planning on using with it?
I'm only 13 and i dont have a big budget so I'm probably gonna use the kit lens it comes with.
@@KaiCreative i love ur videos, keep it up, if you have the time, please make a video on mobile videography. I sadly cannot get my desired camera, the sl3, so i have to stick to my phone.
Love mine I've also got a 5Dmk3 but to be honest this is better for trekking very lightweight great quality images. I use it more than the 5D these days. For the price it's a great bit of kit.
Hey Kai, Great video & Useful overview of the Canon 250d. I have a question, I'm an Event Manager looking to add event videography to my services for clients. I wondered if you could give me tips on a good starter camera for filming events (and taking the odd photo)?... I'm on a budget for my first camera and hoped the 250d was the one, but now not so sure :/ Too many options!
Hey Event Spotlight - great question - doing event videography with this camera is not impossible - but the work and time you would have to put in to make it look good on the day and in the edit would probably make it unprofitable for you as a business. First up having a crop frame for event video is never a good idea - due to the grain you get in low light - it also depends on the lens you put I front of that sensor. If you want to make a real go of event videography why not hire some decent kit first? Put that cost back to the client - once you have a portfolio and a reputation the money from that part of the business can pay for the camera cost. I’d recommend you do DSLR event videography with a 5DMark IV and some f/2.8 lenses first, you can hire these quite cheap on peer to peer lending companies. When you start making money invest that into kit for that part of the business 👌 that’s my recommendation (and what I did when I first started out) (: hope it helps!
@@KaiCreative the answer is very satify for me b'cause i am looking for a DSLR camera for events. Am in Tanzania. Thanks a lot
Canon sl3 or Sony zv 1? I never use camera, I've tried my friend camera little bit. I want camera for video
Thank you :)
Hi Kai, first time looking into a camera myself. I like your brilliant video and I like your honesty. I’m looking for a stable camera that can record a podcast, similar to how the ones are on my page. Would this camera be suitable for this purpose? And in HD, I wouldn’t be using the 4K as I believe the 1080p should be more than clear... I imagine? Any advice would be great, thanks.
I own this camera and in my opinion, this is more than enough for interviews and podcasting. I recorded over an hour of 1080p 60 FPS footage on one battery charge and still had battery life to spare. Just get a decent external microphone and you're good to go with the default kit lens. You'll just need some good lighting. The built-in mic is even pretty decent if you wanted to hold out on a mic especially since most of the camera's compatible lenses have quiet autofocusing.
Hi, di you have a reccomendation for drum cover videos?
Hi Kai, found this video very informative. I was looking for camera for recording youtube videos which costs below £500? Any recommendations you can point me to? Thanks
Thanks mate - I use the M50 and the SL3.
@@KaiCreative hi Kai, thanks for getting back to me, so I have brought the canon 250d and uploaded a new video on my channel where I unbox the camera. But in that video (last 1 min) the quality looks saturated and not clear? I was recording with 1080p and 50fps. Any advice you can give me on how I can make the video more clear next time when filming with the canon 250d ?
Hey Kai, do you think this will be a good first camera if the video side is only a portion of the use. I see myself shooting products & events and eventually some streams and vlogs for others. Would this be a great start until I'm ready to do more?
This is a great investment for those starting out - I wish I had a camera like the SL3 when I started my creative journey (I had an old Tape Sony camcorder 😬 ) - there are some limitations with things like the 4K video - but if you are willing to get creative you can work around it’s shortcomings 😃👌
@@KaiCreative Okay, thank you so much for replying.
Hey brother would recommend this camera for outdoor preaching ? Like on my channel right now I’m using my iPhone 11 for my videos with a lava microphone but I want to get a camera but I don’t know what will be good ? I would appreciate any feed back thank you
so I've brought the 250d to shoot vlog videos for parties in the dayparty/night club scene . can you give me some advice for shooting in dark spaces
Get a lens with a large aperture - like a 50mm 1.4 / 1.8 / 2:8 - this will help 👍👍
I was thinking about buying this for landscape, travel, natural and some cityscape and some other normal videography!!! Would it be ok if I buy this or not?? Please can U help me out?
can we shoot a cinmatic vedio with this camera even if we dont have 1080p 24fps in the sitting ?
This was very informative thank you. Would you recommend this camera for product video such as video adverts of products?
This is a great question. I think it is possible. I know a couple of people that are using it for their businesses. It really depends a lot on how polished you want the end result. It does ok for videos and pictures for social media.
So to be it basically, when switching to 4K video it crops the image?
Exactly right, and you don't have the DPAF advanced focusing system.
I’m trying to add a face cam to my videos. Is the sl3 good for that?
30p is fine for most. 4k at 24p is great. I may just sell my Sl2 and get this instead.
I use mine 100% for talking head videos and tutorials. I need something that can do 4K.
Totally agree! As long as you aren't moving too much and have enough space to move your camera back (or have a wide angle lens) you can get the 4K to a useable level! Hope it goes well!
I am planning on using it for guitar youtube videos. I am in need of a video upgrade for my channel!
Hope you make some great content! (:
Is the full servo AF reliable in video?
Yes
I dont know if I'm too late but dear Kai, I am new to photography and i just bought this canon 250D as my beginner camera. Would you mind suggesting budget lenses i could go for because this Kit lens isn't good enough. I intend to use my camera for totally personal consumption materials like family photos, camping and a few videos here and there. Thank you.
I’d say get a 50mm 1.8 or a 50mm 1.4 - whatever your budget allows 👍
hello Kai- a question please- i like this camera but i want o have better video 4k - as you say- which is the best canon, close to this price [ 250 d] . thanks
Have you had a look at the m6mii? I have a video on it on my channel - made for on the go 4K video , with the autofocus system and No crop factor 🥳🥳🥳
I made the mistake of buying one I needed a camera for paid work promo videos and I found out about the crop way too late
how important is to have 24fps for video? but the battery and the lens put me off.
24FPS will really only matter if you're into filmmaking. This camera has excellent battery life and a wide selection of lenses to choose from since it gets access to Canon's standard EF mounts.
Hey Kai Nice video I was gonna do a lot of filming and videos such as plane spotting would this be a good camera for this job?
I’ve never done plane spotting - but my instincts are telling me that you will want to invest in zoom lenses especially 👍👌☝️
@@KaiCreative I would will too I have been looking but would this camera be a good choice you think?
Can't you overcome the 4k crop by changing the lens?
Use a wide angle lens filter, helps alot
This verses the Lumix G85?
how can start Video. Everyone show settings. But how record video noboday tell this one
Can you please suggest me a cheap wide angle lens amd auto focus for sl3

Peace be upon you, my brother. I hope you are in the best condition. I watched a video of you on TH-cam about shooting a video with a Canon 250d , but I have a problem with the focus. When I want to shoot a video with a lens 50mm 1.4 whose focus is not fast, what is the solution?😢😢
I just got my SL3 after upgrading from an old 10+ Canon, why is the option to film in 4k grayed out? How to fix that?
Hi Nick, this could possibly be down to having the Clean HDMI set. If you go to menu -> 4 -> HDMI info disp, check that this is set to With info - let me know if this helps.
@@KaiCreative It says HDMI Resolution Auto and HDMI HDR output on.
figured it out, can't have auto zoom on.

@@KaiCreative I appreciate, it's really beautiful.
How's it going? Should I go for it too mainly for landscape photography and video?
Wedding work possible?
Planning to film guitar videos, like tutorials and gear demos with it. Good idea??..
Would be using a 50mm 1.8 lens with it.
Just my two cents since I own this camera: it's a great option for vlogging, TH-cam/social media content, and interview footage. The small size means it's lightweight and portable. It has a wide selection of good lenses, as it can use both EF-S and EF lenses, and has great battery life. I would suggest getting a wider angle lens than a 50mm for video as you'll have major cropping otherwise.
@@Fuchie thanks man, I bought it 3 weeks ago, super happy with it. 👍🏻
Hey! I'm French and I didn't quite understand the whole video 😅. But I have a question, is the SL3 a good vlog camera? Because I want to start video and vlogs and I'm a beginner (this is my first camera) can you respond to my comment in French please? Thank you
Baguette
Oui bien sûr! J'ai remarqué que tu possédais cet appareil photo
déjà?
Yes of course! I noticed that you own the SL3 already?
The 4K Crop is HUGE. Shame cause I was just about to buy it.. Could the problem be fixed with a bigger lense?
To an extent, a wide angle lens can help. However, I think the bigger issue with 4k recording is the lack of dual pixel autofocus. If you plan to use the camera for interviews or very limited movement, it's fine, but the autofocus will struggle if you do any video with a lot of movement.
@@Fuchie would a follow focus in a gimbal solve this problem?
Would this be great with photo on raw?
With a good lens absolutely ☝️👍
How many minutes can it record? , Im a starting content creator & I need an affordable camera for video recording
29 mins 59 secs before you have to hit record again
Does it work for headshots?
100% make sure you choose a nice portrait lens 👌
Colour Grade your footage please my dude - throw a LUT on there XD
в нем есть электронный затвор?
I got an M50 just less than a month ago. Basically same specs, only real difference is the native lenses and battery life. Nothing that can't be fixed with a battery grip, and a mount.
So then what made you decide on the M50?
Hi can anyone tell me if the sl3 has 24fps 1080 update yet cheers
No way
It has 25fps in PAL mode
I just hate how he thinks that everyone has the money to buy a more expensive camera for "client work"
Righ
The recording limit is for continuous video right?
Yes (:
@@KaiCreative I always hear people saying this is a camera for TH-cam only but I'm more interested in doing more filmmaker stuff like short films and product videos this could be a good entry level camera for that?
@@MrVjfelix This camera would be alright, but the lack of 24FPS on 1080p hurts a lot for cinema-style videos. You technically can get 25FPS if you switch the recording to the PAL variety, but I think it would be better to invest in another camera for cinema-style videos.
I'm looking for a camera for wedding videography and I need help!!! Please lol
I'd suggest going full frame - bigger sensor - better in Low light, consider a 5DMarkIV or R6 (:
