hey there my name is Chris winter and in
this video I'm going to share with you
my favorite beginner DSLR cameras for
2019 I've got a couple of new cameras
here a couple of older ones and
hopefully I'll be able to help you
figure out which ones might be right for
you and if you haven't heard yet I'm
currently doing a massive camera give
away to one lucky subscriber you can win
either a Canon M 50 t7 or Nikon d 3500
and the lens of your choice from my epic
lens list which you can see in the
description box below under this video
all you need to do to enter is leave a
comment on this video and tell me which
camera and lens from the list you want
to win anyway let's now take a look at
some of these beginner DSLR cameras so
I've been lucky enough to review and
shoot with a number of DSLR cameras over
the last five or six years and over that
time I've seen a number of different
beginner cameras come and go I've also
seen which kind of features work for
most beginners now in front of me I've
got some cameras here from Canon and
Nikon now I'm also going to make a video
on cameras from Panasonic and Sony so if
you'd like to see that make sure to
leave a thumbs up on this video but I've
got a couple of cameras here which
should work well for pretty much all
beginners now I'll go from cheapest all
the way through to more expensive so you
can kind of get an idea of which cameras
might work well for your price range so
starting off with the cheapest of these
cameras I probably look at something
like the Canon mm D or the Canon 4000 D
now let's take a look at the Canon 4000
D first this one here was released about
two months ago and it's a fantastic
beginners camera if you're looking for
just a photography camera if you're
gonna be doing video I probably wouldn't
recommend this camera at all why is this
camera so cheap well firstly it does
come in at around about four hundred and
fifty dollars depending on where you are
so it is one of canons cheapest DSLRs
ever but it's pretty much a cheaper deal
are because they've got rid of a lot of
the kind of special features so if we
take a look at the back of the DSLR here
we don't have a flip screen just got a
built-in screen it works pretty well but
again a lot of these cameras here now
have flip screens and they also have
touch screens as well which again this
doesn't have but if you're looking for a
camera that's going to be relatively
lightweight and allows you to change the
lenses this can definitely be a good
little camera for you in terms of specs
you're going to be getting around about
18 megapixels on this camera here
compared to a lot of these ones
which might be doing around about 24
megapixels but honestly to me the Canon
4000 D is probably going to be a very
popular camera for a lot of beginners
simply because of its price like I said
before you could also look at the Canon
mm D and in America this is going to be
called the canon t7 now the canon t6
which came before this was an incredibly
popular camera probably one of the most
popular cameras ever sold in terms of
dslr's and my review on that one that
had over a million views last time so
the canon t7 is definitely going to be a
popular camera now in terms of this one
here we've got a slightly larger screen
on the back we've got a few other
features we've got a few more buttons on
the back here as well and in terms of
video recording this one here is going
to be a little bit better compared to
this one we've even got a dedicated
video dial which allows you to really
start your video as soon as possible by
the way guys I was thinking about making
a video on the best cameras for travel
in 2019 if you'd like to see that let me
know by leaving a thumbs up in this
video now in terms of actual specs
you're not going to get a massive bump
in specs with the canon t7 compared to
the Canon 4000 d this one does shoot in
24 megapixels if I'm correct and it does
have a little bit better autofocus as
well in video but overall there's not
only a massive difference between the
2000 D and the 4000 D what you're really
going to see is if you're going to be
stepping up to a camera such as this one
right here this is the Canon so2 or 200
D I've currently got a vlogging
microphone on the top because I use this
as my vlogging camera to take this off
but the Canon mm sorry the Canon 200 D
is a fantastic camera for a few
different reasons
firstly it's got a really big upgrade in
terms of video specs so the Canon 200 D
or so2 does call it the so2 for today
has a thing called dual pixel autofocus
and dual pixel autofocus allows you to
get silky smooth autofocus even in video
mode so you're gonna be getting some
really quick and fast autofocus that
works just pretty much perfectly you're
also going to be getting a flip screen
on the Canon 200 D which allows you to
really rotate the screen so you can
actually see it in pretty much any angle
so let's say we've got the Canon 200 D
and I want to be taking a
photo from download I can flip the
screen and be able to see it perfectly
without having to kind of go down like
this or if we're at a concert or
something like that you can have the
screen pointing down while the camera is
up here and you can see it perfectly and
even if you're doing what I'm doing
right now you can actually film yourself
so you can flip the camera around the
screen around and you'll be able to see
it there if you're traveling here's a
little tip you want to actually flip the
screen in on itself so the LCD screen is
being protected that's another really
nice thing about this camera on the
Nikon side I'd look at something like
the Nikon d 3400 or what the Nick on D
3500 so I've got the D 3400 here it's
very similar to the D 3500 and this is a
fantastic camera if you want to be a
beginner on the Nikon side so why would
you choose Nikon or Canon well honestly
there's not a massive difference it
really comes down to personal preference
some may say that Nikon has better image
quality but some may say that Canada has
better video quality again it's very
very comparable these days the biggest
thing is what you feel more comfortable
with and generally you're actually going
to stay with the same camera brand for a
long time this is what a lot of people
find they'll go to their local camera
store and they'll find odd I've got a
Nikon d 3400 you end up staying for 10
to 20 years so I really like nakhon I
really like Canon as well and I also
like shooting on Panasonic and Sony so
I'm a bit fortunate with that but anyway
the D 30 400s got a really nice burst
rate can shoot up to 5 frames per second
so if you're going to be shooting
something like sports a wildlife 2 D
3,400 or the 3500 can be great for that
because it's really going to allow you
to capture that moment without having
that you know quickly via the shots
straight away I don't find that Nikon
beginner deer slides are a little bit
sharper but that's kind of changed a
little bit in the last few years they
are really coming a lot more similar now
if you're looking for something a little
bit smaller but also a really nice
camera and this one here is actually not
specifically a DSLR it's a mirrorless
camera but it's very similar this is the
Canon M 50 this is very similar to the
Canon so2 but as you can see it's a lot
smaller so the Canon M 50 is a doesn't
mirror in it essentially so if we take
off this lens right here you can see
that the sensor is right there so to put
that back on whereas these cameras here
have a mirror again one of the good
features of the Canon m50 well we've got
dual pixel autofocus like we have in the
Canon so2 so you're going to be getting
that fantastically smooth autofocus in
video mode and you're also gonna be
having fantastic autofocus in stills
mode as well we've got this flip out
screen as well works really well on the
side here we have a microphone jack so
this is really important if you want to
be making videos for say YouTube so if
you want to be doing it vlogging you
want to be making YouTube videos like me
reviews essentially you can plug in a
little shotgun mic like this or a
lavalier mic like I've got right here on
this side and then you can get much
better audio
whereas with cameras such as the Nikon d
3400 the Canon 4000 D they are
unfortunately lacking in mic jacks so if
you are going to be looking for a camera
and you know you want to be doing video
I would probably recommend the Canon
200-day or SL 2 or the Canon M 50 these
two cameras are probably going to be
your best bet for that now we'll make a
separate video for this but if you do
want to look at other cameras I probably
look at the Panasonic g7 again it's not
a DSLR it is a mirrorless camera but
it's a fantastic camera because it's got
shoots in 4k so if you are going to be
shooting video the g7 is fantastic for
that also I probably look at the Kino
Sonic G 80 or g85 they're kind of a step
up from the Panasonic g7 they've got
embody image stabilization it works
fantastically so you have a couple of
great cameras as well the sony a6000 a
6300 a 6500 all of those cameras are
fantastic for beginners and they do have
a couple of expert features that will
kind of stick with you when you want to
increase the level of your photography
and cinematography so there you go guys
there are a couple of beginner dslr's I
hope you have a fantastic day I've got a
