Is the Canon T6 WORTH IT For Video in 2019?!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- The Canon T6 is a DSLR from a distant time and place, and by distant I mean March of 2016. It can record in up to 1080p 30fps and frankly it has a really nice image quality to it.
But can it stand the test of time while camera companies continue to innovate and release newer, faster, smaller, stronger cameras?
Well there's only one way to tell and thats to watch the video!
Canon T6!

This is my photography camera, I'm also starting my TH-cam channel with this camera. If you know how to operate a camera and understand video production you can work around its flaws.
1. There's no audio jack (ZoomH1 can fix that)
2. Bad autofocus (Learn how to use manual)
3. No flip screen for vlogging? (Use a tripod, attach your phone as a monitor)
No 1080p@60fps (no solution)
YourTechGuy 1080P 24fps is good enough for a standard vlog.
It’s also hard to vlog because of the bad autofocus
what is zoomH1?
I would go for the sl2 instead of the t6.
The T6 was my first DLSR I got, for an intro to photo class in 2017, and I still use it today. I do plan to upgrade to the EOS 80D, but I will still keep this gem of a camera. As an example of the quality of this camera, I was able to be offered a solo show at my college I go to, and I printed 12 photos all around 23' x 33', and they all look pretty good. This shows that this camera does have what it takes for quality student work.
Now, is this a professional camera though, no. I would not use this for real photo shoots that will be for an ad or something, but is it a good camera to get into digital photography, hell yes!
I would say, buy this, use it for a few years, as I have, and when the time comes, look for the next camera up from the T6 that fits your budget. Remember, having an amazing camera isn't going to make you an amazing photographer/ videographer.
It may not be the best in image resolution, but it's more about the photographers skill more than the camera itself. You can buy a very cheap point and shoot camera, and still get very good photos from it. Good equipment is both nice to have and only necessary to your skill level. If you are just starting out, or just want something to give you quality images to record memories with, this camera is for you. If you are on a budget, but are comfortable with your skills as a photographer, I would say that this is also for you, although, saving for the previously mentioned EOS 80D may be better for the long run.
Sorry for the long statement, but I just wanted to share my experience and thought process on the matter.
Austin Bowers bro I want to upgrade so bad but I really want to trial and error my way through the beginning lol.
The camera is just an extension of your creativity.
This was my black Friday gift to myself. Going to learn as much as I can about photography
Thank you for the Video
What price you get it at?
@@nickdaboii got mine for $220
The T6 got me into photography. Very respectable DSLR and a great starting point for photography. You can capture some really solid images with it.
not gonnalie, the audio coming from the camera in the outdoor vlogging test sounded better than your external mic
The T6 could get someone started, but no flip screen and audio is a bit tough. I still love the SL2.
Can you use a small monitor, or macbook say, to monitor it?
@@RawFitChris yeah
Thank you SO much for saying that 1080p is all you need!
I can still use my D3200 with it's massive 11 focus points!
I hate the way it hunts at times but it's what I got.
Yeah you really don’t need 4K, the only reason I record in 4K is all these crazy cameras have it 🤣
The Everyday Dad You also know how to use it! 😎
In all fairness, I'd say this camera was designed to take still photos, and shooting video was just a secondary option.
I own a Canon camera which I bought exclusively to take photos, and it does a decent job of that. While it is capable of recording video, I rarely use it for that purpose.
Just how it is sometimes.
And on a side note, just for reference.
My internet connection will only allow me to view videos at 720p.
I can try to watch videos at 1080p, but I'll get 3 seconds of video, then 3 seconds of buffering, (and that repeats).
The point is, people upload 4K videos to youtube, which many people (like myself) can't watch in 4K quality.
Just something to think about when dealing with large file sizes and upload times.
Omg I have this camera way before I started my Channel and never use it for video. I've been using my android phone eversince and phone works for me a lot easier. Gosh I'm more motivated to learn using real camera after watching your reviews. My viewers deserve HD vlog. Hehehe thank you!
I've had a T6 now for about a year or so...It was my first DSLR, really great for photography. I'm ready to sell it and go into full frame now.
Same but I can never find a buyer
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR VIDEOS OF THE T6 FROM SOO LONG!! THANK YOUU
Probably one of the best, most control accessible cameras that Canon have built, is that an over statement, in my view no. I get superb results from the T6. As far as video is concerned, you can use use your mobile phone as a flip screen, just use it forward facing while fixed to the hot shoe. The T6 is a great photographer's camera.
The t6 audio was surprisingly better
So I'm not the only one who thinks this way then? LoL
Canon t5i! I got the t5i to start out with practically brand new(1200 shutter count) for $270. It has a flip/touch screen, continuous Auto focus in video mode (not dual pixel but not bad), an external mic Jack and it comes with the stm motor on the efs 18-55 kit lens Wich makes it practically silent. It's for from the best camera out there but I love it for my first camera and it cut out a lot of limitations that usually come with a camera that cheap. Love your reviews Everyday Dad, it would be fun to see a review of the t5i.
Bryant Laws T6i was my fist and it still is. Great for photos, and Ik for video I really started getting interested in video and now I’m thinking moving to m50
Meanwhile we all hear the G7 laughing maniacally in the distance
I heard Panasonic G4-g7 is awesome
is that any better? the t6 with no stabilization is giving me a headache lol.
I recently bought a mint T6 body, batteries and charger from ebay for $165 shipped. Looking forward to getting to know it.
Congrats on 60k, Gary!! Well deserved, my man!
Thanks so much! 🎉😁👍
You are a life saver. I have this camera but use gopro for u-tube stuff. I'm using my T6 now. Thanks
I had the T3 and was considering the T6 as a replacement, but it wasn't much of an upgrade. I ended up holding up for the M50 instead that is on back order for me.
I love how long I could snap and take videos, the battery life was quite decent. Enough so that I only ever had 1 battery.
People will think it's a good vlog camera, but it's not. The fact that it doesn't auto-focus during video makes it really hard to use. Unless you are crazy about blurred backgrounds and will record only inside an studio, I would prefer to use a cellphone, for example, you would get sharper images. I have to mention that it only records 12 minutes at a time also, so if you are doing things alone, this camera is nothing short of a pain. But to take pictures it's very good, far better than a person with money would admit, but a solid option for third worldlers, for example. I have a T6 and a friend of mine has a 6D, we go out shooting and after we put the images online people would never notice the difference.
Well I just got this with a case and Telephoto Lens as well. Cost 270.00 di not have the battery, gotta love pawn shop treasures sometimes! I think for what I paid it's a great first camera. This is something to build on and that's my goal. I also got my OSMO Pocket on Thursday.I'm really excited about that. Will I'll be unboxing and reviewing that on my channel once I get the camera set up. Great open and honest review TEDD.
Get the 50mm
Audio from camera sounded better than your lapel mic
Great video. Just got this camera thanks to you. What is the stick you use to take selfie videos outdoors? Thanks and keep rocking :)
Get the 550d as it has mic input. If you must have a screen facing you , DSLR controller on Android is great...but it doesn't work on all phones, particularly the low end androids.
Lastly, get a good lens and you'll be fine.
T6 is great for photos. I think it can be pretty good for videos too but not the best especially, compared to other cameras. I have the T6S and it's waaay better than the T6 and a smidge better than the T6i. Articulating (touch) screens are so useful in exponential ways. I recommend the "i" Rebels for shooting videos. Especially because they have microphone inputs.
I own one of these and regarding the “fiddliness” I find the biggest thing I fiddle with was the start and stop record button. The camera automatically shuts off after 30 minutes or when the recorded file hits 4GB, which ever comes first. Using the highest quality possible means I hit 4GB after about 11 minutes or so which means I can’t leave this camera to record, I’d always be having to make sure it’s recording
Is it good enough for food videography!? And close ups for photos? This will be my supplemental camera 📷 to my Canon G-7 X Mark II
What camera is on the tripod outside ? That has amazing picture.
Too bad you don't do stills, a little snow can make blah beautiful. Seems like stills would be a better option for the T6 if you're solo. BUT! If you already have a T6, use it to get your feet wet with video.
That’s a really great point Mark 👍 and yeah the snow the last couple days was gorgeous 😍
Very good video! Very informative! You covered everything I needed to know! Thanks man 🤙🏽
Yep this will definitely be my first “real” camera, thanks for the review 👍🏻
Another amazing review sir
This was very helpful. Thank you. I've been using these tips on my camera for my channel
Soo your saying I can start shooting music videos in my T6 ? 🤗
The audio actually sounded louder and clearer though the camera but not as smooth. I bought the camera yesterday for $289. I didn’t pass up that deal. I will mostly use it to shot produce images for my business. I might use it for tripod set-up for DIY videos not vlogging. There are workaround to the camera not having a flip screen. My older 12mp Canon has the flip screen which is very handy to make sure I stayed within camera view for my DIY videos, so I may continue to use that for a while.
You can also remotely control this camera with your phone👍👍
I love this camera for the price
Thanks for the review and the humour! 😀
Thank you for recommending the SL2 instead!
Lol the h1n sounds so much better. For anyone considering this, I would go for the 80d or m50 instead. Flip out screen, mic jack, dpaf, much better camera, albeit more expensive. If you want a cheaper alternative buy a gopro hero 5 or higher. Just my 2 cents
I agree about the M50 being a great camera, but some people can only afford a certain level. And I definitely disagree about getting a gopro anything for indoor recording. Those tiny sensors won't do much, you're way better off with a cell phone. But if you want to get a big sensored camera for as little as possible the T6 is workable.
The gopro isn't actually that bad even in low light, just gotta get the settings dialed in. Check my last vlog to world trade center, all was done with hero 6 on evo gp pro gimbal in 4k 24p. Iso set to max 400. Works even in the dark as long as its externally stabilized.
you can use external mic with usb adapter
Awesome review!!! I would love to see a review of canon 1500d(rebel t7) its a little bit more pricy than the t6 . Please do a review on that
Can you mention where you got the little hand tripods please ( idk what they’re called 😅)
I own this camera, and I 💘 it.
Thank you so much for the complete review!
Pretty easy to understand pros and cons.
lmao the camera audio sounds so mych better that yours!!
This Camera Works Nice For Astrophotography ,With Focal Reducers,and Good Lens On Your Telescope..Nice Pin Point Stars
Hello! I love the video and am trying to decide between the Panasonic Lumix Dc-Zs70K And this camera. I want to use one of these cameras for Video editing! Can you please help me and suggest with one you like better?
Why does this camera have an edit feature, but it doesn't explain how to use it in the manual?
Is it better than a new iPhone is the question
I still remember when you had 17k Subs
Can you get the blurred background video with the Canon EOS Rebel T6?
love your sunglasses. what brand are they?
Someone bought me a T6 for my birthday and even tho it wasn't exactly what I want, I rather have it then nothing. I was and still am saving for a mirrorless but it's a good beginner camera and it's especially good for someone wanting to learn basics or if you're on a budget. And I've seen people make beautiful things with it so it's not terrible or anything.
Sell the t6 and get a m50
Yeah use what you have, thats the most important part. There will always be more camera gear out there, dont worry about that. To make things easier for yourself sure save up for something a little more user friendly. But you don't need much to make awesome content.
@@CheeseOnEverything nah, i don't really like the m50 that much
@@TheEverydayDad thank you!
@@KosmicKole too small?
The dinosaur joke made me laugh out loud
Which is the camera that you use for main recording in this video?
It looks like a good camera if you don't need 1080p 60, stabilization or audio in jack. I have the Nikon d3500 and it doesn't have an audio in jack either. What would you suggest for any external mic?
Chase Knippa I have the T6 I record audio with a lav mic and my iphone, it does the trick.
Is TED worth it in 2019?
Probably not 🤷♂️
@@TheEverydayDad lmfao have your wife review you.
I didn't know you can get the camera wet
What adapter did you use to connect the Zoom H1N?
I hope it is because I’m a beginner. Any good budget suggestions?
Sony a5100 perhaps? I think its $450 USD on B&H right now
my t6 has a blue tint when i’m recording a video, how do i fix that?
Ok so you say no audio in jack, what is the 3.5mm Jack above the HDMI jack? The icon looks like a microphone...
Wired remote!
What external mic were you using?
Ewww not the t6! Its not any better than my old t3i thats somewhere in my closet! Cant focus for video! 18mp on both! Etc. Actually my t3i has a flip out screen! This dosnt! Plus the video quality is the same! If u WANT THIS JUST GO WITH THE T3i! None have a touch screen! And the T3i HAS AN AUDIO IN!! (Sorry abt my rage 😁)Great video btw
Jimmy Hidalgo chill
Coree Bell vlogs lol
No matter what preferences aside, if you know what you are going to do with your camera, your camera will not fail you. It may piss you off on some things, but they were designed to give good output. You have to weigh what you pay vs. what you want, and times give up for the price. I love a camera fellow who said it best. Buy it nice. Not twice! In other words could you wait till you got a better camera? Of course you can. The T6 is not the end of the world. But if you shop wisely, and bargain hunt, a better camera is always going to turn up. When is always the tricky part. But if you are diligent, and know all you want and need, and uh...ahem, focus on those items, a great camera will come your way.
iamdxpe @Vincent Chen tru you can still make great stuff from it its just going to be harder.
I use my T6 to record my youtube videos but they're not made for recording they're made for photography so don't compare the T3i's video (which is literally a video camera) to a T6 that isn't
Bought the 77d for under $700. With the 18-135mm lens. Way better! If you cant get that yet, at least get the t6i version.
How is this camera when it comes to picture quality ( because that’s all I really care about 😂😂)
MalakaiG it's Good, get a 50mm 1.8 and a 24mm 2.8 and you will be set.
Still rocking with my T3i and T2i. May upgrade to the M50, thanks for your recommendations.
Anastasio Productions do you use them for vlogging if you do do you like it for vlogging
Does it have sound when you video? Could you attach a mic to it?
Well though it doesn’t have a mic input, is there any additional way I could connect one to it
I have the 2000D and to film something I just put it on a weird structure plugged with a cable to my phone or with WIFI for an amazing wireless screen.
Can you do the Panasonic G6 (2013) or the GH1 (2009)???
What is the camera this guy is using to record originally?, the good quality one
Please do a video on CANON EOS M6 same price point
I have the T6 and I wish I would have payed more attention to the flip out monitor and real time autofocusing on the Canon T6i as I now want to do sit down videos for TH-cam. How can one try to focus on themselves before shooting a video if they're standing in front of the camera but can't see whats on the LCD screen behind the camera, or if they have a nice blur behind them for the video? This is why I'm considering the T6i for vlogs/sit downs. Flip out screen? Plus. Continuous tracking AF? Plus. Now I need a job. 😂
did you film this whole episode on the T6?
Go T6 💪🏼
Do canon 1300D and canon 4000D differ with video quality?
I love this camera canon rebel Tf6 it great thnk fpr that
Is there a reason why people still buy a t6 or t7? Or even their "i" versions. Surely there are better cameras under the same price range. Like in the sony line up a6000 for example
IF ANYONE WANTS TO BUY A T6 LET ME KNOW. I THINK ITS MORE FOR PHOTOS. IF U WANAN DO VIDEOS NAHHH GET A DIFFERENT CAMERA
I just rocked video with t6 !!??????
For the price I got it for, I'm happy😂
Jude Kieffer what did you get it for?
i just want a camera that can record like 1440p60fps or at least 1080p60 but cant find one that doesn't have horrible reviews
We make music video with tht...😂
amazing video
I just want to make film for my college soccer career , should I buy ?
Just sold mine yesterday because it just wasn’t cutting it.
Try looking for a 77d or 80d on Ebay. Got one few months back for under $ 700. Gear worth 1500
jaythejewel lol are you sure it was the camera
Your "gear list" doesn't work
I wondered about this camera with yesterday tech. I could be fine but dual pixel AF and flip screen are spoilers here. But as a camera as a whole,not bad at all. Just don't vlog on it. Otherwise a good not great beginner camera.
So.....I’d have to agree. Technology is a wonderful thing. I’m out grocery shopping and watching a video on TH-cam about cameras. I would have to agree the T6 had its time. Just like if I was watching this video over AOL using dial up on a 56k connection. It makes sense to get a little more with the times. Btw.... I’m quite enjoying my M50. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this camera.
Thanks so much! Yeah I really like the M50 and for the price I don’t think you could do any better 👍
The Everyday Dad I decided to try and take a few pics with it. Unreal detail. Now to learn aperture priority TV mode
I wish that aperture priority mode worked for video too 😭
lol 😂 “dinasours rule the earth” lol
How good is the quality and features for taking still images?
Is the T6 better than a go pro 5 for TH-cam??
instead of spending on the 1300D its much better to get a used RX100 old gen
get the t5i, its a better camera with a mic port, flip screen, better processor and overall image quality. check out my Instagram and TH-cam channel to see examples
So what are you using to video tape your "show?" We have a Canon XSi, that takes pretty good pics, but we were wanting to upgrade. But, I am just wondering if it's worth the $399 for the camera, extra lenses and camera bag? Or, should we get a GoPro or something that is better video instead? TYIA
Also, how long of a video can you record?
Thanks and... For you in 2019 a SONY a99II? I purchased that camera last week brand new for 1700 dollars but I don't if I did at the end a good move...
I’ve never used a Sony DSLR but maybe I’ll check it out in the future, thanks for the suggestion!
@@TheEverydayDad you are amazing. Grazie
how do you sync the audio..
