is this a re-upload from an older vid? feels like 7 year old thinking.

You forgot 200 megapixels Samsung and 80 megapixel oppo, iPhone is grand dad like nokia

mirrorless all the way

Except Smartphones are catching up fast, I think in a year or two max, even the quality would supercede DSLR. I have been shooting with DSLR for over 15 years now and never thought I would say this.

@@whitbyretreat145 highly doubt. With new full frame mirrorless cameras surpassing DSLR type cameras, which have even better IBIS, lens IS, dynamic range, exposure, etc, its really hard to beat with simply just a cellphone, there is a physical limitation to the complexity of such a small lens on a phone to fit all of that into a phone. Not to mention, the realistic bokeh is very hard to replicate on a phone, and at the end of the day if the sensor is bigger, your light collection is most likely going to be greater, thus detail

I want to post my experience. I saw this video prior to buying a camera, and have basically 0 photography skills beyond product photos on my phone. I wanted to take better product photos for my business and videos like this were discouraging me as they made it seem like its a tall order to get good photos. I took the plunge and I promise you it is not as dramatic as these KZfaqrs make it out to be. I bought a 50MM lens to compliment the Cannon EOS Rebel T7 alongside 2 lightboxes. Keep in mind I am in no way saying I can compete with a professional, but all you have to do is adjust your aperture depending on the environment. I set it to manual mode, adjusted a few other settings to my liking, then, Simply adjust the aperture setting depending on the brightness available for the photo you're taking. The camera took great photos out of the gate, there is small learning curve, alongside adjusting to the camera and learning how to take good photos, its a little intimidating at first, and it is not like a regular phone camera, lighting is VERY important for great photos, overall I spent about 3 hours and did what I needed, and now I only need about 30 minutes to accomplish what I want for a thorough photoshoot. Yes, I take a TON of photos to get my result, and adjust allot, and out of 200+ I maybe have 10 that look very professional, the rest the angles may be off, or the product isn't centered, etc, but its better than 0, and a tri-pod reduces the error rate if you're into that. The natural photos come out very well and don't need much color correction, but you can throw them into photoshop or lightroom if you need to, which also isn't hard. People act like this stuff is hard, you know a good photo when you see it. Is a phone camera better for regular everyday photos? Of-course. I don't ever see myself carrying around this camera except for rare occasions, but I promise you there is no comparison to a professional camera with a great lens and the photos you can get VS a phone, the detail is significantly different and worth the investment.

@@whitbyretreat145 Nope, even current flagship phones fail to match the quality of a 2006 DSLR purely due to the absolutely tiny sensor size.

Complete agree. Every one can take pics and then let's print them out in a2 format minimum. You can see a different. We are talking good camera.

Even iphone or Samsung flagship phones can't produce same results?

@@hillsongbest3818 no, the color accuracy of a DLSR is still waay better and of course lenses

Y’all sound crazy and need to let the camera industry at least this portion of it fade away 😂

If you think of phones as small compact cameras, then they are the best compact cameras. The question one might ask is if they want a larger sensor, better lenses, longer/shorter zoom ranges and wider apertures.

No shit Sherlock

I use the cable and they are pretty fast (I have samsung s23)

The new smart phones today, including the low end ones, are able to shoot in 1080 pixels. For anyone that is starting out, that is all that is needed. Now, if you have the money and want to go out and spend thousands of dollars on a top end camera to shoot 4K that will likely die in the middle of your recording session due to overheating, then go for it. However, if you decide in a couple of months that you no longer want to do content creation, and you don't use the equipment for something else; you just wasted all that money. I know of a channel that started 3 months ago and now has over 3000 subscribers. The equipment being used is likely a cell phone since he records from his car. Even if he is using a DSL camera; you can't tell by the quality of the video. 1080 pixels is 1080 pixels. The wise person will start out with their cell phone and upgrade after the channel is monetized and bringing in money. That way the channel pays for the upgrades and the upgrades don't harm the budget. PS: Some people still use their Logitech 920 webcam to make videos.

@@scotttovey It depends how you aproach things. If you think YT is just a hobby that might or might not make you some money, and you go from there, then that is a way to approach it. If you are however determined to make it a flourishing business then that is not the way to approach it. YT is the TV of today and I never saw a business that started a new TV station with mobile phones. And sure there is a difference between 1080 pixels and 1080 pixels. If you can't see the difference between the B-roll that was shown on this video and the talking head part then perhaps you should use a decent screen. Probably even on a mobile phone it is extremely obvious. And like I said, content is still king but it is not as if this channel is the only channel that is about content creation on YT. Normally a decent camera is used and there is a reason form that. People find that more pleasing to look at. Like I also said, audio is even more important and I am not surprised that a separate microphone is used. People can forgive when the video quality is not super but when the audio is mediocre they start to move away from your channel.

@@scotttovey There is of course no law to buy expensive hardware to start a YT channel. People are free to do whatever they want. The competition is however huge and you make it a lot harder on yourself if you want to do the same thing with lesser equipment. If you are a professional cyclist then there is no rule that you can't compete with an old heavy bicycle but it is a lot harder if you do so. When you create content there are a lot of factors that determine basically the value of the content The quality of the video and the quality of the audio are part of that. The algorithm of YT learns what the best content is that they want to recommend to people. If your video is not in that short list of best content for that particular person then it is not recommend. So if the video quality is not perfect then other factors of the video must compensate for that. It is not impossible but it is very hard, while it is already very hard to succeed with the best possible equipment. Why do you think Primal Video is making most of their content in 4K with a good quality camera?

@@annoholics "If you are a professional cyclist then there is no rule that you can't compete with an old heavy bicycle but it is a lot harder if you do so." This is your problem. Slap yourself in the head, your brain is frozen and you are delusional. You are assuming that a person just starting out in something is a professional. They are not. They are amateurs learning a new skill and testing the waters to determine if they want to invest themselves fully in that endeavor. A professional cyclist has already made that determination and has the skill set to determine which equipment is best for him to purchase at his level of expertise. The benefits one gets from 4K has nothing to do with the video being streamed over the internet and watched by viewers. Unless you have the fastest of internet connections, you can't watch 4K over the internet. It gets downgraded to 1080 to save bandwidth. Amateurs just starting out do not have the skill set to take advantage of 4K video. They haven't learned how to edit a 1080 video yet. For that matter, they do not even know if they will like producing content. I know of one channel that was doing some high quality professional video and then, one day, she decided to go back and start shooting videos with her old Logitech 920 webcam. There was absolutely no reduction in the quality of her videos. Her quality is the result of her skill, know how and experience; not expensive equipment. If you can't make quality video from your cell phone which is near the level of DSL cameras 5 years ago; you can't make quality video using the expensive equipment that can shoot 4K. The equipment is a tool. The lens that shoots 1080 on a cell phone is just as usable as the lens that shoots 1080 on a DSL. All the pros and cons of the equipment are nothing more than excuses people use to justify their unwillingness to do the hard work and level up their video-graphic skill set. There's an individual that modified a piano. Then hired pianists to play it and tell him what they thought. One gal became fairly challenged by it and worked to see how good she could make that handicapped piano sound. Why? Because it doesn't take a master pianist to make a well tuned grand piano sound great but; it does take a master pianist to make a handicapped piano sound great. Likewise, a master violinist will take an old worn out violin and make it sound beautiful leaving it's amateur owner awe struck, whereas the amateur violinist will struggle to make the old violin sound as good as the master made it sound. If you do a professional job with today's low end equipment, that was yesterdays high end equipment; don't bother buying today's high end equipment. You don't have the skill set to make it look as professional as you think it will look; because it's high end. It's the experience and the skill of the videographer, not the cost of the equipment.

You can easily get good quality video from a high-end phone camera. Audio.. not so much, but I use a fairly inexpensive mic.

Many have both already, it's just that the phone is always easier!

I just ordered the iPhone 14 Pro to handle the majority of my content shoots. Looking forward to exploring all the options from the smartphone perspective and video shoots (microphone, lenses, apps).

@@MichaelJDay the continuity function on the new macOS Ventura is amazing no wires needed no fancy set up just put your phone next to your Mac and boom. It just works as a WebCam.

I really feel that people have spent so much money on the equipment they have they try to find reasons of still needing it. Today’s phones are literally all you need given the amount of megapixels you have today. In the early 90s 5 or 6 megapixels pixels was just fine to use professionally……what’s changed?

@@MichaelJDay I have the 14 pro max just as my cam along with my 13 pro max as my phone….linked to my ipad pro with the pencil, and I can do everything I need to do music wise video edit wise and mobility. I’m thinking of adding something more powerful than my ipad pro to the network but don’t know what

Yes agreed. I did a video on continuity the day it was released. Works so well.

Thanks - all the best with the videos you're making! 😊

Thanks - glad you liked it! 👍

Cool, glad you're enjoying Davinci Resolve. All the best!

I was reading the comments and hopefully you can answer my question. I take video of models (below the waist) with a Samsung s21 and I shoot 4k 30fps. Do you think this video will still look good on tvs in 20 years (I recently had my vhs tapes from the 90s put on a USB drive and they are very grainy), so that is why I ask? Should I upgrade to an 8k mirrorless camera or stay with what I have or get something else (if you say this, what is your suggestion that I go with)? I should also mention that I shoot during the day and never in low light situations.

@@AllthingsVegas I doubt they will have TVs in 20 years. And I still think B&W photos of cute girls from the 1930s - 1950s look good - and they are kinda grainy too. Then again I have seen a lot of crappy 4k video....so will your video be any better at 8K or will that just create a lot of work & expense while your competitors are outselling you with their volume and productivity? Now if you are shooting museum quality fine art for archiving a hundred years - go with the 8K. It will still look crappy in 20 years but you'll feel better for the first 10.

@@RussellWatsonFMHL do you think that I should get a camera for 4k 30fps or stick with the Samsung s21 4k 30fps that I shoot with now?

@@AllthingsVegas I have no experience with Anderoid phones. I'm sure there are lots of revues on KZfaq.

Noooo that's a mirrorless 💀. You should be getting a D series Canon that's a true DSLR.

Great to hear that, cheers 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

I think it depends on the phone. I use a Samsung and I get good photos indoors and out. If I wanted better I'd have to use a DSLR.

@@sassygrrl32 Your idea of good photos and mine may be different. I've never seen a phone that can do what my DSLM can do in low light. My cam has a full-frame sensor those itty-bitty chips in phones can't compete with in that situation. Not to mention the depth-of-field issue. There are situations where a phone can absolutely compete with a more expensive camera. Low light isn't one of them. Same with a GoPro.

Cheers, you're welcome! - Hazel, PV Team

Well done, all the best 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

you can using a laptop. you can use the DLSR as a webcam with apps like Eos Canon app wich I use

iPhone

Many do. Iphones, Samsung Galaxy , Google pixel, and I'm sure many others

If you are an Android user, the LG V60 ThinQ 5G is a GREAT phone. It has auto, and manual video. I know that LG stopped making phones, but they are still sending out updates. If you are interested in this phone, be sure to lookup the correct model for your phone carrier. These phones are nicety discovered right now.

I have to disagree with you there. I get really good photos with my smartphone. Of course it's a very expensive one. And it takes as good as my last DSLR. In fact, I was very surprised at how good they are. I am, however, considering buying another DSLR. Partly, bc I spend so much money on a smartphone & could probably get a good DSLR cheaper. Even so, I probably won't give up a high-end phone. Too bad they haven't yet combined the two.

Sure you can do all that but never recreate the In body stabilization that dslr / dslm lenses have. Also idk where you got the assumption that smartphones are gonna get cheaper, last time i checked it bumped from 600 to 1200

Thanks for sharing Perry - Hazel, PV Team

Great, thanks!

Thanks!

You can pick up a good new DSLR for about $300 give or take or a good used one with even more features on Amazon.

Yep, smartphones are indeed powerful nowadays - Hazel, PV Team

DSLRs still take WAYYY better photos than any phone. Dslrs really aren't outdated

You can update the thumbnail on any of your videos inside KZfaq studio. Hope it works out! 👍

@@PrimalVideo thanks alot sir

Thanks!

Nope

😆

I like the smartphone for long pants too

sorry disagree, have you even used an SLR? Sure phones are really good...but try to get a fast shutter speed on a phone. Try to get SD card storage. Try to get the massive amount of lenses available, try getting that beautiful bokeh on a phone. Your comment is a bit short sited. For the beginner...sure...but if you are into photography, you cannot beat an SLR or mirrorless like the Fuji X range or sony.

When I starting videos a little over a year ago I started with my phone which I prefer. I can take video with beauty enhancing apps, other apps & my phone & pull them all together on my phone. I'm currently looking to go back to a DSLR because I do a lot of landscape videos & want to increase quality but I prefer my phone.

Dude.. the 4k 60 on the S22 that I have is laughable in comparison to the 4k on the EOS R / RP that I mainly use. Especially in low light.

we are talking about cameras, cellphone camera vs a real camera..and no, there is no way a cellphone camera can even the quality of a DLSR camera, color accuracy, lenses quality, depth, bouké etc... DLSR videos and photos kust look more organic , cellphones camera often look overprocessed , fake sharpness etc

What planet are you on? No way on this earth are phones are better than dslrs. Phone video is only good on phones. Transfer your video from your phone to an editing software and you’ll see how bad the quality is.
