Tech Gear Talk I’m torn between g7x and sl2

Hi Elvie, thank you for watching. Alright, so let's start with the basics, what will you be using the camera for?

Tech Gear Talk oh you replied! Really! That’s awesome! Nyway, i really have this passion for photography. I want to take pictures like those pics of ocean, mountains, my daughter when she will have her taekwondo promotion. I want my camera to be handy but i want to learn also those with different lenses. Quite confusing right?

Ok. So it doesn't sound like you'll be doing a lot of video, so an external mic input is not super important to you (but think about whether that is something you may want in the future). You can learn on any of them. They all have full auto mode AND they all have full manual mode where you have to choose the settings. They will also give you the ability to shoot aperture priority and shutter priority. Check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htt1adpyqdzScY0.html It's an early one that I created so I'm sorry if I talk a little slow :) As far as interchangeable lenses, it's not so confusing once you learn the basics, BUT, it is more expensive. The range on the G7 X MK II is usually good enough for beginners. Mostly people will want to go wider or add telephoto later on, which is the advantage of buying a camera with interchangeable lenses, so that you can continue to build. Once you watch that video, let's continue to answer any questions that you have.

Tech Gear Talk yeah i did considered that thing that is why i am having second thoughts of buying the g7x mark ii. But with regards to image stabilization, g7x have it ryt?

Oh, wow, thanks for that awesome comment James. I'm so glad it was helpful. Wasn't sure if it was too much detail or not. Which did you choose?

Tech Gear Talk I ended up picking up the Canon SL2 earlier today from bestbuy (couldn't wait for shipping lol)🤗 Absolutley love it so far. I ended up going for it because of the remote connectivity for video and I like that it uses full size lenses. This was the perfect upgrade from my OG Canon Eos M. Now going to use my old M for a secondary cam / b roll and / time lapse shots. Thanks again for the awesome video! This will be a perfect camera for the fam 😊✌👊

"couldn't wait for shipping" - LOL!!! So happy for you. The remote control for video is HUGE! I totally agree that it's a super nice upgrade! I'm pumped that this video is being helpful to people. Inspiring me to create more like it. Grateful 🙏

Tech Gear Talk keep up the good work! Subbed

Thank you James!!

Congrats and you are very welcome! Have you started using it already?

Hi Donavon. I'm super glad this video was helpful. I'm just starting out and super appreciate the feedback (good and bad). The SL2 is a great DSLR choice. You're getting so much for the price. Again, thank you for watching and please let me know if you have any questions.

You're very welcome Alison. The M6 is a sweet camera and will work great for your vlogging-style channel. I'm glad the video was helpful. Was there anything else you wish I would have covered?

Dude. You literally covered pretty much everything! Haha Oh, but actually I do have a question. Do all the cameras have the same low light filming capabilities?

The M6 and SL2 will do better in low light because of the larger sensor. Again, we're dealing with degrees here so "better" also is a question of how low is the light, etc. Can you give me an idea of a situation where you'll be recording? (because there is a lot to say for the size of the G7XMKII for vlogging)

Tech Gear Talk ah okay I see. That makes sense. Thanks! For now, just dimly lit restaurants, but eventually I'd like to use it for festivals and raves. I watched a detailed review on the g7x and it seemed pretty decent in low light like you were saying. I'll watch your m6 review soon and see how that looks!

Let me know what you think after you watch it. I have some other ideas for you too, regardless of which camera you get.

Hi Sabrina! I'm so, so, so glad that this video was helpful to you. That is truly my goal. I know this is a big decision for people and I just hope I can make it a little easier. Yes, the SL2 is going to be awesome and you'll be able to re-purpose your existing lens (woohoo, save that money). Being able to use your cell phone to remotely monitor and shoot is awesome and is going to be so valuable to you! Great job on your channel by the way! I like the honesty and positive vibe you give off in your videos, and I appreciate that you get real even on super serious topics that some people avoid. I'm just starting out here so we'll see where this journey takes me. I would super appreciate you supporting the channel when you buy the camera, if that is possible :) What external mic do you use?

SimplyBeingSabrina Did you end up getting the SL2?

VERY solid points. Thank you so much for taking the time to contribute. People who understand, appreciate the built in nd filter so much. In my C100mkii I use it all the time.

Can I ask you where you read that the g7xm2 has the Spiral leaf shutter?

@@raspberry5286 . I was curious too. I read it on a DP forum. From what I read you can tell by the flash sync speed of 1/2000 for the g7x mk ii has a leaf shutter and 1/200 for the SL2 has a focal plane shutter. The Sony a6300 flash sync speed is 1/160. G1X MK III is 1/2000. Focal plane shutters can't sync flash at fast speeds but the manuals don't say leaf or focal plane so its confusing.

@@floridahiker1503 The flash sync is a nice observation indeed, I hadn't thought about it.

Oh wow, thank you so much Joe, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback! What do you plan on using the SL2 for?

Oh wow, thanks so much Armen. Which one did you like best?

@@TechGearTalk I'm still thinking: probably the Canon M6 but I need to figure out if I'm going to use the external microphone or record the sound separately with my ATR 2500. If don't need the microphone I'll go with the G7 X Mark II.

I would also look at the M50 (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html) if you're considering the M6. One thing I'll tell you from experience. Even if you don't always plan on recording audio with an external microphone, there will probably come a time when you will wish you could. Make sure you plan ahead.

Oh wow, thank you so much; That's super kind. I'm glad you like it and you're very welcome. I think they are both really good options, it depends on what features you're looking for. I love the G&XMKII because it is SO portable. But the SL2 will give really nice quality and I love remote control and an external mic input. Good thing is, it's hard to go wrong. Thank you again for the kind words!

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave feedback. Appreciate your Sub too!!

Oh wow - so glad it was helpful!

I’m super glad that this review was helpful. Thank you so much for the support!!

Oh wow Dennis, thank you so much 🙏🏻 Glad the video was helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.

I'm really glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for the kind words and hopefully the Sub! Which did you decide to get?

Really glad it was helpful. Which one did you like the best?

Aditya, I'm so glad that this video was helpful. I'm just starting out so I really appreciate the feedback. What did you end up deciding?

Well like everyone else, I too started off with the canon. But slowly as I looked and read up more about cameras, I found out sony is equally in par with canon. Being a sound designer, the main use of my camera will be to document the field sound recordings which I do. Some of which do take place in low light conditions. The canon sl2 has everything that I need. From external mic input, to flipscreen and a great auto focus capability. I don't really care about 4k although the fact that sony is providing me all these features (minus the flipout screen) plus 4k capabilities and better low light performance, I feel sony (a6300 to be specific) is a better option to go with. If I may request, I'd love to see a comparison between the Canon sl2 and the Sony a6300 on your channel sometime in the future. :)

I'm actually reviewing the A6500 now. I'll get to the a6300. I would definitely recommend that you first get you hand on the Sony and the SL2 and see which "feels" better. Don't always go by specs. I'm not saying not to get the a6300 but only that you should be careful about just comparing specs. If you're always behind the camera, the flipout screen won't really matter to you. I really like the touch screen on the SL2, I don't believe the a6300. I'm impressed with the a6500 so far and I will definitely create a video for the a6300 when I get a chance. I need more time!! :) Autofocus is not as fast on the 6500 vs the Canon (0.05 vs 0.03) but I probably only notice that because I';m used to the Canon. Sony also has 120 fps so that's nice for slo-mo.

Sure. Trying them hands-on first makes sense. Looking forward to those reviews. Thank you so much and all the best. :)

You're welcome. Have a great weekend.

Glad this video was helpful. Looking forward to the mk iii

Awesome! So glad it's being helpful. Would love to know what you think after you finish watching!

i think i lean more on the m6 as i will ne using the camera for travel i also like the interchangeable lens on it.. i researched the lenses for eos m and it only offers a few, but with the additional one inch adapter it opens up the option to choose from ef/ef-s lens.. also i dont think that i will miss the view finder that much though if i get more serious on photography i might be needing one but for now i'll be fine without it. :) oh also just wondering how about comparing the m5 and m6 in the future? anyways thanks for the vid and happy new year. :)

Super insightful comments. The adapter is a great option (kinda $$$$ though) and really opens up the possibilities. The electronic view finder is pretty cool, but I'll be interested if you feel like you're missing it once you've used the camera for a while without it. Personally, since I'm used to having one, I think I'd miss it....but I thought I would miss the headphone jack on my iPhone 7 Plus until I got the Airpods :D

Sweet Josh!! Plus it's a crazy nice and portable camera to take with you when your full frame is just too big. Thanks for watching and dropping me a line!

Tech Gear Talk Yeah I actually bring it along now when I’m just out and about. Cheers!

Right on! What do you usually shoot?

Tech Gear Talk I shoot Weddings full time with my wife and shoot a lot of landscapes 👍🏻

Oh fun!

Thanks for the compliment. You are very welcome!! Glad it was helpful and hope you love your new camera!!

Oh nice! Let me k ow how it works out

That's absolutely correct. I realized that I misspoke but it was too late. Which did you like the best?

Well, it IS mirrorless but it’s just not an ILC or CSC.

I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for being part of the community 🙏

Glad it was helpful and congrats!! If you want more about that camera, here is my SL2 playlist: kzfaq.info/sun/PL9Y8hNm43poKzHUQ-5DoPGtTfUm5s_khH Hope it's helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

@@TechGearTalk great!! Thanks again!! 😊

You’re very welcome

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the support and kind words. The M6 is so good. Let me know what you think when you get it. What do you plan on using it for.

Oh wow... thank you so much. Glad you like the videos and appreciate you participating in the community.

That's great Karen. I'm so glad that it was helpful and thank you for the kind words! If still possible, I would appreciate if you used the links in the profile when you're ready to buy! Thank you again for the feedback, I super appreciate it 🙏

You're very welcome. I really appreciate your feedback. What did you end up getting?

@@TechGearTalk No problem. :) I'm definitely going to end up with the SL2. The more research I do on it the more I'm sold. It just offers so many great features and so much versatility.

I completely agree with you, it's a great beginner DSLR. So many features at such a good price. Did you see my full review of it?

@@TechGearTalk Yes I did. That's how I ended up here actually. You'd think it would be the other way around. Lol. But I totally agree. It seems very user friendly. Keep up the great reviews!!

That's awesome, glad you found it regardless, and that it was helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Those are really valid points. I always say "The best camera is the one you have with you". For social media, especially when there is enough light, the phone does a good enough job.

@@TechGearTalk I'm going to go for the SL2

That's a great choice. Have you looked at the M50 also? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm really glad this was helpful to you. How do you like the G9Xii? Thank you again for watching and hopefully subscribing!

Super grateful for the feedback!

Glad it was helpful!!

Really glad this video helped you out.

Thank you so much! I love the process you're going through right now. You are thinking of a lot of things that most people overlook. I appreciate how thoughtful you are being. I really love the SL2, it's super hard to beat for the price. What will you use it for?

I'm not much of a picture taker but I want to do some vlogs and pictures of my travels. SL2 I think is the best starter for me. I can always get a high end camera later if I think I really need it but the SL2 is ideal for what I need right now. By the time I'm ready to upgrade 4k will be on all of the Canon cameras and it will be a more useful upgrade.

That's a great strategy. Plus, you'll be able to re-use the lenses so you'll only be upgrading the body. Thank you again for watching and supporting the channel. Let me know if you have any questions.

Jeff Dubworth .

wow, thank you so much. I super appreciate you watching the video and the feedback. I do not know about a software/firmware update. I am actually trying to reach out to Canon to get an answer. It would be AMAZING if they could do that. I don't see how that's not the case, but I'm also not the one writing the software. The fact that some cameras can do it is encouraging. The M6 is really nice. What will you be using it for?

You're very welcome Raj! Glad it was helpful. Appreciate the love and you joining the community!

Thanks Mark!!! I really hope that this is something they can do with an app upgrade, I just don't see how it would be a hardware restriction. Although, I don't build cameras for a living :D

You are very welcome, I'm glad you're able to get the info you need. Happy New Year!

Tech Gear Talk Happy New Year aswell!

thank you!

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm very happy that the video provided value to you. Thank you for the feedback regarding the sidebar outline, I wasn't sure how people feel about it so it's great to get feedback. I'm unsure as to why the app does work the same way for call cameras, hopefully Canon will fix that. Which one was the best fit for you?

I like the size of the G7X mkII but the SL2's audio in jack and larger sensor with fully articulated screen are more compelling. Truthfully I could make both work, but still researching audio options (not sure I'm sold on the Rode VideoMicPro / Shure VP83 - I like the richness of typical shotgun, yet I've discovered the super/hyper cardiod condensers may be better suited for indoor recording minimizing ambience/echo... Then again, I enjoy many YT videos that use the Rode). Other note: While sidebar is nice, I much prefer time stamps listed in the description so the outline is readily visible and I can just go straight to the information I need.

Adding timestamps in the description is SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!!! I will definitely do that. I agree with your assessment of the mic choices and ultimately audio is subjective and so much of it has to do with post production processing. The only way to find out is to try something out and hear the results. You're right, I think that for someone with the level of knowledge you're exhibiting in your comments, the SL2 is a better choice. You'll outgrow the G7X MKII and wish you had the upgraded sensor and mic input. When you end up making a purchase, let me know how it works out for you. Thanks again for the timestamp idea!

You're welcome! I'm primarily looking to invest in quality gear with as much high returns in the investment without spending too much. Also I think I'm more in the camp of wanting to create with a workflow that's simple in efficiency. I don't want to spend hours editing and changing settings to correct color and etc - I'd rather just invest in a great mic and camera and editing program where I can film, edit within predictable time frame, and then upload with confidence. In fact, I don't think there's enough workflow videos for prospective viewers. Lot of camera reviews and comparisons, but not enough workflows that suit guys like me.

I'm completely aligned with you. You have to remove as much friction from the production/editing process as possible. Anything else is just an unnecessary obstacle. I started a series designed to help creators and will continue with it when I have time. I have not gotten to the actual process yet because I think strategy goes first. If you have time, check it out. kzfaq.info/sun/PL9Y8hNm43poKsaMfWacWrJwVzT2BpYNxJ It's directed at KZfaqrs but the concepts apply to any creative process

Nice!!! That’s a solid pickup!

@@TechGearTalk I was looking all over the internet with all of these cameras in my Amazon cart just trying to see if I could see an objective comparison. Everything on your channel is so top notch in terms of quality, friend. Thank you so, so much for what you do!

I really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback! Glad that you find it helpful!

You’re very welcome. I talk about if here a little more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK-SZpOGv7HRm40.html

Thank you so much for watching. I'm so glad this video was helpful!! Which one do you think is best for you?

You are very welcome and Happy New Year to you too! Which of them did you like best?

Tech Gear Talk EOS M6! I’m from the Philippines btw. So muchh loveee.

that's a super nice choice. Thank you for watching!!

Tech Gear Talk You’re always welcome!! Hope to see more reviews about Canon cameras and other Apple products too!! Your reviews have excellent cinematography with loads of content that can influence a lot of people and I wish this 2018 you’ll have more subscribers and more blessings for you and your channel. You honestly deserve it, sir!

Wow... those are wonderfully encouraging words. I am very grateful for you taking the time to share them with me. I will definitely review more cameras, including Canon and will try to add some Apple products in there too. My true hope is that these videos actually help people who are looking to buy. I get made fun of for how much research I do when I buy a product so I try to be pretty detailed in my reviews. Thank you for the kind wishes and blessings. I hope this is a fantastic year for you and the people you love.

Well... wow... that just made my day. So glad it was helpful!! Which did you like best?

Canon SL2

Awesome!! Good luck!

You are very welcome! I'm really happy that it helped you make a decision. You're going to LOVE the M6,. Like you said, it's small, you have the flexibility of interchangeable lenses and the dual pixel AF is so good! I'm still new at this and I very much appreciate the feedback! Will you be using it for your channel?

If control is your number one priority, you may want to look at the M50 (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html). As far was "shine", can you give me an example. What are you shooting with now? Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel!

Thanks for your response, I have created a short video to show you the shine, And the camera that I use, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6mhoNFh1tSdh5c.html

Ok, that helps! 1. You can control with both the SL2 and the M50 (that I linked to). The M50 has full control and the SL2 will have pretty good control over the video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jauBp6tpzc6clIE.html). The M50 lets you change focus point which is really nice. 2. As far as the shine. That I think has to do with 2 things. Lighting and exposure. With these cameras, you'll be able to better control exposure (and you'll also have better dynamic range). If you need help understanding exposure, check this out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htt1adpyqdzScY0.html I made it for photography but the same holds true for video. I hope this is being helpful. If you have more questions after watching the videos, let me know and we can continue!

Thank you brother!

You're very welcome Mike! The SL2 is a great camera to add to the G7XMKII. It's bigger, of course, but uses better lenses, has an external mic input, larger sensor, etc. What do you use your cameras for? Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing!

I'm so glad that it was helpful. It's something that I didn't know until I had the cameras in my hand and I didn't want people to find out once it's too late. I super appreciate the sub and you taking the time to leave feedback! Which camera wins for you?

Thank you so much

You are very welcome, glad it was helpful. If you’re shooting video, check out these microphones: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html

So glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much for the feedback, I did my best.

What will you use it for?

You are very welcome Véronique - I'm so glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching (and hopefully subscribing)

Thank you very much for the kind words. OUTSTANDING point regarded lens performance. I'm pretty sure I discuss it in the detailed review but it was definitely something I should have mentioned here. For this price point having a 1.8 - 2.8 lens is killer. To your point, lenses that would compare to that, for the SL2 would be out of the range of the budget for most users would buy that camera. Focus peaking is also a good point and definitely a feature I did not mention. I SO VERY MUCH appreciate your feedback!! It's the only way I can make better reviews. Thank you for taking the time. What do you use?

I got a G7xm2 and a 600d and planning to buy a new m6/sl2/t7i. For those who do not need an external mic while vlogging, g7x series is really a fantastic choice. M6 does have some advantages when it comes to lenses, size, weight and portability compared to dslr, the focus peaking maybe quite useful when it comes to manual lenses too. However when it comes to video quality, nothing compared to your C100 M2 4k. :) For a complete package, i guess i have to wait until Canon hit 4k in their consumer markets maybe 2019/2020.

I also think the g7X is a great option if you don't need an external mic. It's so compact, you can easily throw it in your pocket and go anywhere. And I do believe that most people won't need other lenses (maybe it would be nice to go a little wider for handheld, but you can always hold a small tripod to add a little distance. Do you think 4k is that important? I think it may still be 5 years away from being widely used.

Yea a little wider does help a lot for most vloggers but they are usually very slow lenses that may not be that ideal for low light videography. I don't think 4k will be that widely used anytime soon in consumer level because most flagships smartphones are still 1080p/1440p. It will take like you mentioned 5-10 years for majority of people to jump into the 4k boat. However, 4k is quite important for mid to high end productions, you can crop and spilt shots, the professional look just cannot be done without 4k. I think you got a lot of potential to be a big tech reviewer in the future. Your in-depth reviews are really helpful for potential buyers like me. One thing I would definitely like to see are footages comparisons (mainly video quality ,audio quality and low light performances) between the cameras.

Thank you again, I had a similar sense about the footage. I will make sure I do more of that! Audio and low-light performance are great ideas!

Thank you so much for the kind words Derek! 1. if audio quality is important, and you don't plan on using an external recorder, get rid of the G7XMKII (I love that camera, but that is a weakness) 2. You're always going to want a 3 axis gimbal (if you can afford one). The in-body image stabilization in cameras is nowhere near as good as what the gimbal will provide. 3. no GoPro 4. Sure. The G7XMKII is so small and light. You'll definitely notice a difference. I would not get the M6 at this point but look at the M50 instead: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html Does this help?

Tech Gear, that helps a lot! To be honest, your reviews to date are exactly what the beginner to intermediate (me) requires, so as to eliminate expensive mistakes!. Simple things like the external mic attached on the M6 but cant use the flip screen is a point we wouldn't consider until it is too late! I'm leaning towards the SL2, have already watched your in depth review. I especially like the fact that in the future, it is possible to insert a different lens and that total weight is still just 2lbs! Good shout regarding the Gimbal, which type would you recommend? Also what would you recommend for a wind reduction external mic.? I appreciate your fast response, keep the reviews coming! Have you done any video editing reviews yet? If so what do you use or recommend?

I'm glad. The SL2 video has some gimbals in the description. Also check out the MOZA Air or Air cross from Gudson. (I'll add links soon) As far a a mic, look at Rode and make sure you get a deadcat. The Rode VideoMic Pro+ is awesome if it's in your budget. If you want to wait a few days, I'm reviewing their whole line of videomics and will publish soon. Video editing reviews? Do you mean software?

Thanks for reply Tech Gear, yes I meant the software to edit the videos ready for uploading to KZfaq or similar.

There are several great options. I use Premiere Pro. Are you on a Mac or PC? Looking for Paid or Free?

They are both outstanding cameras. The M6 is going to me smaller and more portable while the SL2 will give you the ability to use higher end lenses (although I don't think you'll be using them based on what you mentioned). You can't really go wrong, you'll be happy with either.

Thank you Joseph! I appreciate the view and the feedback!

Glad it was useful. If you want to see a more recent video I made about it, check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/odOpZ7KimL_GfYk.html

The M6 uses the liveview at all times since there is no viewfinder (you can buy an electronic view finder if you want one). So you're always seeing a preview of what it would look like and the settings you selected.

Super glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much for the kind comments. Are you more worried about low-light with the SL2 than the G7XMKii? The SL2 has a larger sensor (better at low light) and will allow you to get better macro lenses (of course they are very expensive)

Tech Gear Talk Thank you so much for your reply! I do understand that 1.8 or even 2.8 lenses will save me but the question is exactly about how drastically the G7X II is better than the DL2 !with the Kit lense! in low light. Is there a HUGE gap?

I'm saying that the SL2 should be better in low light than the G7XMKII because of the larger sensor.

Tech Gear Talk Got it. Thank you!!

You're welcome. Let me know if I could be of any further help.

I'm glad it was helpful Adam. The M6 is a great camera and I think you'll be happy with how small and powerful it is. What do you plan on using it for?

Thank you 🙏. I used two Canon C100mkII

Glad you liked it and you're very welcome.

really glad you liked it! Which camera looked like the best fit for you?

Tech Gear Talk The canon SL2 is the one I'm interested in

It's a really good one. Did you see my detailed review of it? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jauBp6tpzc6clIE.html

Tech Gear Talk Yes I did 👏

Awesome! Just wanted to make sure you got all the info.

Glad it was helpful. Which camera did you like best?

@@TechGearTalk The M6 because of it's form factor and versatility. I will be getting one soon.

Awesome. Congratulations!

Yes, it's a good camera for photography as well. You can also look at the M6II kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hM-ia9OX28zIdn0.html if you want even better photos and much better video capabilities. Hope this is helpful.

That's great. Which one did you end up liking?

@@TechGearTalk Can't decide because they are all amazing in different ways! But for what I need the camera for maybe the G7 X Mark II or Canon M6

I would look at the m50 over the M6 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html If you want options for better audio, the m50 is better than the g7xmkii. If you want ultimate portability and an all-in-one system g7xmkii is hard to beat.

I wonder if it's the same thing I ran into here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7Fjn6mLytO8aX0.html (is it for both photography and video?)

Hi Peter. Thanks for the feedback. I start out by putting the mic on the flash plate so that I know how much space I have to work with. Then, I attach the Joby plate to the bottom of the other screw on the bracket (the one that slides). It has a 1/4 20 socket on the bottom. Then I put the M6 on and tighten it, then put it on the Joby. AND I just realized how easy this would be to show you in a video so please let me know if that made any sense at all! I capture footage with a couple of C100MKIIs. It doesn't really compare to be honest. I'd be putting up cinema cameras with lenses that cost more than any of the setups in that review with a small DLSR and 2 mirrorless cameras. So it's just not fair. At the same time, the setup I use is not portable or light. I would be super annoyed if I had to drag it around with me. The tripods are heavy, so are the cameras and the lenses. So they aren't really meant for the same use. I'll tell you what, I would love to have dual-pixel autofocus with tracking, but I would need to upgrade to C200s.... so.... unless 2 of those fall out of the sky... The M6 is a great choice for sure. I'll see if I can get my hands on the cameras you mentioned as I continue to add reviews this year. Again, as always, I very much appreciate the feedback 🙏

So glad this was helpful!

So glad it was helpful!!! Let me know how it works out for you when you get it

It would be interesting to see if you'd be able to tell the difference between the images and video. If I were to rank them, sl2/m6 (tied) g7x last

I don’t have a comparison with the M6 because I upgraded to the m50. Here is that comparison. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jquYprhexqu8YGg.html

So glad the video is helpful. A few things. First, check out this video for another option instead of the M6 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK-SZpOGv7HRm40.html Once you watch it, let talk about your options.

You are very welcome. Which one did you like best?

In all honesty I like M6 though my budget for now only can afford the G7X besides my hand is so small for M6. I too realized that I don't need interchangeable lens for I already have Nikon DLSR with me. I just need an on the go practical and easy to bring camera.

Makes sense

Tech Gear Talk but if my budget is enough M6 is good enough for ot has faster auto focus. Ive seen a lot of review but yours is the best 'coz you explained well. Thank you very much.

Yes, they are both good options. The M6 can also accept an external microphone if that is something you want to do in the future. What will you be shooting?

Glad the review was helpful. I don't know about the M100 because I haven't played around with it yet (if you forced me to guess, I would guess no....) If that's a critical feature for you than I would go with the Sl2. I still can't believe they left that out. SMH. Thank you for the compliment about the channel. I'm just starting out so I'm happy to see that it's being valuable. What will you use the camera for?

I may decide to go with the M100 due to its very compact size even if it lacks the video control features on the app. I hope you get a chance to review the M100, i would love to see your thought on it. The SL2 still may be the one i go with seeing how it is also a pretty small body as well. And then there is the new M50 to consider as well. I want to make videos that will mostly be me in a controlled setting in front of the camera taking a look at statues and art pieces, but i also attend a lot of conventions and shows that i thought the smaller size of the M100 would be more convenient for shooting video on the go.

That makes sense to me. The SL2 is still pretty small but of course, not as small as the M6 or M100 of course but it's not bad. The M50 looks awesome, 4K will be nice, but 120fps is only at 720P.... I need to start an online collection box so that I can buy these cameras to review them :D

The quality would be similar. If I showed you 10 pictures and 10 clips, you wouldn't know which came from which camera. EF/EF-S lenses give you a lot more options. Sigma now makes 3 good ef-m lenses which is nice.

@@TechGearTalk Thanks for quick reply. I lean towards M6 for travel vlog. But not sure should I sell efs system and start to invest in efm or not.

You can get the adapter and use your EFS lenses

Great question. See if this video answers it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7GndLqI3tydpok.html

You are very welcome. I'm glad that you liked it. Which camera did you like best?

I like the SL2 given the lens options and the sensor. I am beginner and I also felt the SL2 would greatly assist.

Yup, the lens options are a big reason to go with the SL2! The M50 is also a good option: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html

You are very welcome. I'm glad the video was helpful!n

You are very welcome. Glad it was helpful. You can only control video remotely with the SL2. If you want to control video for a mirrorless camera, check out the M50 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otuJiZOVud7Th3k.html

@@TechGearTalk Thanks!

You’re very welcome Scott!

Thank you for watching and for the feedback. I am not 100% confident but I have not been able to find that feature in any of these.

Thanks for the clarification.

You are very welcome. Which one of these do you like best?

The SL2 will let you build and add lenses later. You will also have the option to use an external microphone (either now or in the future).

You are so welcome Jana. The SL2 is such a great camera!! What will you be using it for?

i wanna start vlogging! Ive always wanted to do it but i didn't have the courage but this year im gonna try it out! :)

Just go for it! Just start. You'll always get better with time and if it's something you want to do, don't wait!!!

Hi Sam. Thank you for watching. I'm very glad that it was helpful. let me know if you have any questions.

Both are good choices. If it were me, I would get the SL2. Larger sensor, newer processor, smaller, lighter

Of these three I would pick the SL2

I use a Canon C100 MK II and I'll have to do a video about my settings if I get enough Subscribers that are interested. I'm super glad that the image looks good on such a large screen!!! Thank you for letting me know and for the kind words!!

Tech Gear Talk - Thanks for your prompt reply. Interesting that you shoot with the C100 II. Can you also tell me what 'picture profile' you use on the camera? Thanks again.

You are very welcome. Why do you say that (strange)? The picture profile depends on my settings. Sometimes it's standard and sometimes it's Wide DR. I rarely use a custom one for KZfaq. What do you shoot with?

Tech Gear Talk - Much appreciate your feedback. I use the same camera but don't get a clean image like yours. Hence the questioning (strange!). I use Canon C-Log and grade in post. However for your purposes I guess time is of essence and it would take most of your time in post which you don't want to do. You're doing a great job by the way. I'm always on the look out for good content and great clean picture... which is what took my interest in the first place. Look forward to seeing more of your interesting reviews. Many thanks.

That is strange... what lenses are you using? Agree with you re: spending too much time grading in post Thank you for the input! I am still learning and trying new things with this channel so I'm super happy to see that there is positive reaction to where I am now.

it's a complicated question because of the difference in sensor size. You would have to divide by the crop factor. Essentially, at the same "aperture number" the G7xmkii is getting less light. (crop factor is 2.73 for g7xmkii and 1.6 for m6
