- Welcome to the Think Media "Best Camera "for YouTube" super stream Q&A. My name is Sean Cannell,
and I'm super fired up to be taking your questions about what's the best camera for
YouTube for your needs. We all have different types of camera opportunities and budgets, and so whether it's camcorders, or point and shoot
cameras, or action cameras, I'm gonna be taking your questions today. So let's dive right into it. If you haven't watched our video on "12 Things You Need To
Know When It Comes To "Picking Out the Right Camera," definitely check that out. I'll link to it in the description below. But we've put these in a
couple different categories. The first one is what camera should I buy? Some of you in the Think Media community, we're gonna start with
some of the questions we just put out on the community tab and on social media. So then we'll dive into
the live chat a little bit. But I can see you. In fact, let me know where
you're watching from. What's up, Michael Guru Games? What's up, Matthew Wood? In England, we got
Amber in eastern Oregon. I'm coming to you from Las Vegas, sipping on a La Croix, and grateful for Thanksgiving yesterday here in the U.S. So let me know where you're watching from. We got Alaska, what's up, Cooper? NC Tink TV, good to see you. San Diego, Pennsylvania, so fired up. Let's dive right into these. Clayton says, "I want something that will "shoot 4K with clean HDMI out, "with auto focus still
enabled for live videos. "Was considering either the G85 or GH5. "Can you provide a recommendation?" Really good question, and
here's a really cool answer to find out what cameras
have clean HDMI out. So if you've never heard
of the Cam Link, by Elgato, it's a little device that'll plug into your computer USB port. Make sure it's a newer USB port. Then so you can see it has an HDMI plug on the back of it, so that you can livestream right off
your laptop or computer. Let's see if I can do this here. If I pop up the Cam Link website, it actually has a web
page that brings you to all the compatible cameras. So if you are curious. This is a good question, this
is to answer the question. Does it have a clean HDMI out? The other question is, does
it have unlimited runtime? So unlimited runtime
is how long the camera will stay on until it
shuts down automatically. And then what's a clean HDMI out? It means that there's
not gonna be graphics, like the aperture, or
the battery power life, or whatever on there. So he was mentioning
some Panasonic cameras. Yeah, the GH5, the G7. I'm pretty sure the G85,
it's not listed on here, that one's a clean HDMI output as well. You also can look and see that all the Sonys are pretty much. And see, when you click on these, on this Cam Link website, it'll tell you that, like the A7 III not only has a clean HDMI. Yes, it's got unlimited runtime. It tells you what kind
of connection type it is. So you can really get into
the nooks and crannies of your specific camera. But back to Clayton's question, "I want something that will shoot 4K "with clean HDMI out." I think you're good on those
Panasonics you mentioned. However, they don't have
the best auto focus. Now I actually am on a GH5 right now. I love it. I love it for livestreaming. But I have it set to manual focus. I don't want it hunting around the room. I don't need it hunting around the room, auto focus-wise. So yeah, I think that the Sonys are great, but they don't have a flip screen. I love this GH5 in the 7 and the 85 because it has a flip screen. If you live without good auto focus, then I would recommend the
cameras you're looking at. Because I love this setup right here, and if you're curious
about my livestream setup, we have a kit.co link to it
in the description below. Yeah, that's what I would say, Clayton. I hope that helps, and let's keep going. All right. "I want a full-framed Canon camera. "What camera should I get
for my YouTube channel? "I just want to upgrade." I'd ask you why do you want full frame. Because full frame's amazing, but it's gonna make everything heavier, it's gonna make everything bigger lenses. I think right now, the Canon
EOS R and the Canon EOS RP are definitely worth checking out. With the crop factor in 4K, to my opinion they're
more like 1080p cameras. Couple sales on those are out right now. In my opinion, also the 6D Mark II is a great full frame camera. That's around here somewhere. It's downsampled 1080. Even the 1080's not very good on it. It's really more of a
good photography camera. But I think, my opinion right now, my favorite full frame
camera is the Sony a7 III. Problem is, there's no flippy screen. Which is not the end of the world. You could use the app. Remember, in our other
video we were talking about you get the app, you
get the Sony camera app, you get the camera set up on a tripod, and now you can monitor
it off of your phone. But I have people helping
me shoot now at Think Media. In fact, I was just shooting
some content by myself, and I was actually
leaning towards the 90D, not a full frame camera, crop sensor, because it's so user-friendly. I didn't even wanna use this, because I was like, okay, well, how am I gonna frame the shot? So here's the 90D, same as the 80D. Obviously it's the newer version, but you what I mean, same. The Canon setup of being able to just tap your face in focus, know it's gonna be crispy, plug in a mic, touch
the screen real quick. Sony doesn't have the touch screen. Not that these are huge complaints, but just some things to consider. I gotta open a window, man. It's so hot in here. Okay. Welcome to the crazy
livestream, real flow, that we're just gonna go deep, right? What? Okay, Sony a7 III sale going on right now if that's a camera you'd wanna check out. I love this camera, but typically for when you're behind it. Like if I'm gonna go film B roll with it, this is what I wanna shoot. If I'm shooting photography with it, this is what I want in my bag. The quality, the 4K,
the image, the features. But for being a YouTuber,
if you're shooting solo, I don't know if I'd recommend it. This guy is over on B&H Photo. A good savings with a camera bag and a few other things
happening on that one. If you're getting value, smash like. I'll be getting to your
live chat questions in a second. I'm gonna catch up on some of these ones that came in. If you are curious about
any of these things, I'll put show notes and summary
in the description below. Henry, "If you have a
Canon M50, is there a need "for a point and shoot
like the G7X Mark II? "I already have a T5i. "I can get a speed adaptor for both." So what he's talking about, first of all you got Canon M50. Omar stole mine. He steals all my gear all the time, and so I don't have one here. I've got a Canon M100. Let's pretend it's an M50. Now you mentioned a speed adaptor. Keep in mind that the Canon adaptor is not a speed adaptor. It'll just take the mirrorless camera and it'll allow you to now put on a bigger EF lens on your main camera. You could get an adaptor,
yes, for your M50 and put any lens on it you want. How crazy does that little guy look? So is there a need for a G7X Mark II? In my opinion, yes. More so than a T5i, or a DSLR, because I'm not gonna carry
this around with a lens. Imagine it being an M50. As much as I'm gonna carry
around a point and shoot, like a Sony RX100 or a G7X Mark II. In my opinion, too, we're gonna answer some questions about vlogging, I actually don't think
this is a vlogging camera. I know that's the new thing. This is ridiculous. What are we talking about? You know what I'm saying? It's just obnoxious. When I think vlogging, what's cool about point and shoots like this, is they'll let you into concerts. They don't consider it
a professional camera. When you go like detachable lens, typically you get into
situations where they're like, "Oh, you're not allowed
to film with that here." So this is, in my opinion, what a vlogging camera is, by definition. Based on that, yes, an M50 can travel, and is light enough to vlog with. But on the flip side,
you might not take it outside of your house, because you've got the
mic, and the mic input. And what are you gonna
do, bring three lenses? And you could do that. I know some of you guys are hardcore. In fact, let me know in
the chat if you're like, yeah, I go to Disneyland with a pack on, four lenses, two mics, 44 batteries. So that's what I would say. Game by Night, "Thanks for the super chat. "Do you think it's worth
keeping the Sony RX5 "now that the 7's out for
the 1.8 for low light, "because of the sensor size?" Yes, I actually think that the 5 is the last great vlogging camera. I've actually got a 7 over here. I don't know, now that
I've got the window open it's gonna be total chaos on this stream. 7 is great 'cause you got the mic input, but they messed the lens up with the 2.8. It's not messed up, but 1.8
is better, in my opinion. But no internal ND filter. That's the issue. The 5 is the last great
vlogging camera from Sony because you have the
internal ND, like a G7X has, you got the 1.8, and who
cares about the mic input? Let's go vlog and you
got all the 4K and stuff. And it's a better price. I think the newest RX100 is crazy. So hey, hey, hey, check one two. I've got all kinds of tech difficulties going on over here. What's up, guys? Can you hear me? I put a weird pop filter on here. Does it sound better? I like taped. I just ordered a new pop
filter thing, too, as well. So here we go. "Is the M50 the best vlogging video, "travel stills, compact
camera for the money? "If not, what is?" Okay, is it the best vlogging? As I said, I think so, but image stabilization's
not the best on it. Travel stills, yes, I love
taking photos with it. Compact camera for the money? Yeah, so, by definition,
what you're saying, First of all... I've already lost all hope
of keeping this organized. Have you noticed my personality is trying to keep things organized? And now that windows are
opening and doors are opening it's all gone out of the window. But I got some M50 photos for you. I love the M50 for photography. It takes great photos. Can't even find those. Shoot! We take so many different photos. Okay, here we go. So M50, yes, yes, great photo for travel, for things you might wanna do. Here we go! Tour through a little M50 photos. Do you need me on there? Does that ruin it? This is the Grand Canyon. Let me take me off. This is the M50 in the Grand Canyon. There's my wife, Sonja. Awesome. Did I do a jumping shot? You have to do the jumping shot! Don't you have to do the jumping shot? Can we go full screen here? What did I just do, crop? Okay. Oh there you go. Ooh, look at that Ninja. Okay, can't even zoom in more. You can put different lenses on it. This is one of my favorite shoots with this camera. Answering your question, yeah. It takes amazing photos, great for travel, great for lots of different situations. Nostalgia mode. We're over here going to Austin. There's the M50 in vertical mode. Just real crispy shot out of the window. Right, like what are we talking about? It's beautiful. So M50, great photo camera. And how do I escape out? Here we go. Austin, cheers ya'll. Ooh, okay. Can we go eat? All right. Anyways, M50 best vlogging, travel. Is it worth it? Yes. Compact camera, that's what I was after. (sucks air through teeth) I think that what I would recommend, Omar stole that too, G7X Mark II is, I think, the ultimate travel vlogger, vlogger camera. It also takes good photos. It's also compact, and we'll
talk about it a little later. M50, yes, if you want to
travel a little heavier, and have a little more things. I think the image stabilization
between the optical and the electronic in the G7X is better. And hey, we got this right here. So right now there's a
sale on the G7X Mark II. Why am I recommending
the II and not the III? The III has enough auto focus problems, and we have some videos
coming out about it, about how you can work around those. And there's so many great things about it. But just not the same and
it's not as good as the II, as far as dependability for auto focus, which I think, in a way,
is good news for you. If you've got one, there's workarounds. But if you're gonna invest in something, get the Mark II, man. 600 bucks right now on the deals going on on the website. But check this out. It's one of my favorite things. You go to Amazon and look
at a renewed version, that still comes with a 90-day warranty, and it says, "Works and looks like new." $470 for a G7X Mark II. I could see both, and
I know you always gotta feel your budget. I could see having some kind of, or an a7 III, or like a 90D, as your sit down, keep it in your bag, roll it in your roller case. But your point and shoot
is rolling with you everywhere you go. I also think that this is
the future of vlogging. I really am optimistic
about the GoPro HERO8. I'm gonna pick one up over the holidays, 'cause it's like $100
or $150 off right now. They're saying things
like it's not as durable, or the build quality like the other ones. I think they're new one,
they want for vlogging. And this vlogger kit
with the selfie screen, I don't think it comes
out until February 2020, but with the hyper smooth, with just how light it is, again, this is what I
think a vlogging camera is. Much smaller. And when I think about this, I think about if you're
rolling with the crew, if you're just super strong, and you want your arm to be
tired at the end of the day, those types of situations. Dalan, "I watched your M50 videos. "Thinking about selling
my 80D and getting an M50. "Since neither are full frame, "it might be better to roll
with something lighter, "cheaper and more portable." I agree. "Would you swap or keep
chugging with the 80?" I would like the M50. I think the new processor, the
image quality, looks great. I like the M50 workflow. It is more auto focus points. Are both dual pixel? It's definitely the newer processor. It loads fast. 80D's a great camera. There's some really great
sales on that camera right now as well. If you like, maybe the mount
would be your question. If you just are going to
be doing all EF lenses. Or if you do want a lighter setup. I think both are solid, if that helps. Hey, if you want the shortcut to my best recommendations for cameras, too, just gotta shout-out
our ThinkGearGuide.com. Have you downloaded that already? Let me know if you've downloaded that or gone to that website. ThinkGearGuide.com, there's a link to it. Enter your name and email. I talk about my top
vlogging recommendations. My top if you had a
couple hundred dollars, if you have $1,000, if you have $4,000. My livestreaming stuff,
all at ThinkGearGuide.com. Let me know what you think about it. "Thanks for the super chat. "Suggestions for a good face
cam for 2018 MacBook Pro." I'm still on Logitech bandwagon. I think that's really what it is. You could get the BRIO if
you wanna be real future. And then maybe read reviews to see if it works with Mac well. This is a 4K ultra HD webcam. $150 and definitely the newer MacBook would be able to handle it. USB C. I think this would be
a really good way to go for crispy webcam. If I'm answering your question right. Thanks for the super
chat in the place to be. Let's rock, ya'll. Smash like. Stephen Williams, "Best for vlogging "assuming price doesn't matter. "Looking at the Sony's. "Seem lightweight and crisp." That's what I would say. I still would want either the G7X Mark II. Why? ND filter. What's that mean? It has an internal ND filter, so when you want to shoot in 1.8
or 2.8 during the day, and it's super sunny, but you still want it to be blurry behind you, and have the right camera settings, you actually can't do
that in the RX100 VII. That's the discouraging thing. RX100 VII costs $1,200. And it's amazing, the
image quality's amazing, but I was shooting in
the middle of the day. I had to go to aperture
as far as it would go, which is not that far. It's like 16 or something. And I couldn't actually get
the aperture closed enough to keep the camera settings right, in like slow motion, even. So my shutter speed was 250 or whatever. Whereas even back in the V, to be clear, the Sony X100 V has an internal ND filter. So what it's like, is
it's like a sunglasses for your lens, so it lets less light in. So in my opinion, best
vlogging is G7X Mark II, for all around point and shoot. Even compared to, like an Osmo Pocket or an Osmo or GoPro, I think for vlogging and storytelling, the fact you can zoom in, zoom out, the fact that you can do
this and vlog like that, but you have some good
image stabilization, that it fits in your pocket. It's a proper camera, proper
like video-making tool. GoPro, too, but you can't zoom in. It's always the same shot. If you're just talking head all day and some panning shots, you can't really shoot a building, zoom in, story tell with it as much. And then on the Sony
side, I would say RX100 V. Deal on that on Amazon right now, $829. Camera came out it was $1,000. The difference, in my opinion, is 4K. You're gonna get true 4K with this camera. It can handle 4K. It doesn't really overheat in 4K. It also does true slow motion, like up to 960 frames in a
high frame rate type deal. It does some vlog profiles
and things like that. There's my best answer. For vlogging, if you want user-friendly, great all around, even good for pro stuff, G7X Mark II for around 400, 500 bucks. We just saw that. If you want to have 4K vlogging, which I don't why you would need that, but if you want that, or you want log a little bit of a higher-end picture quality, Sony RX100 V. That is my complete mic drop. Nothing else to say about that except for probably a lot. Effect2o, I'm gonna hit
this question in a second. Let me check in with you guys and give a shout-out to everyone. Pure Trading, good to see you. Tiger Bait Com, good to see you. Couple shout-outs of
some new things we have that I would love ya'll to see. We got Think Media merch,
in time for the holidays. You need that Think cup,
help you think different. If you change your thinking,
it could change your life. Gotta grab that cup, man. We have a Rise and Grind one coming, that'll be on there. The two recommendations that
I would want you to see, is this, this is a good color combo, this hoodie with the blue and white, that is a great one. You can always switch the colors up, too. But I think it's the
box logo that is really where it is. The box logo hoodie, with the navy red, that's gonna be strong. Go gray (puffs airs) come
on, you know what I'm saying? Go blue with the red, I mean, let's talk about everyone
at your Christmas and family gatherings being like, "Yo! "You watch Think Media too?" I'm just, that would be
crazy if that happened. Let me know if that happened. That probably wouldn't happen. Smash like. Effect2o! This is gonna be a fun question. "I have the potential to
start filming for a church. "In the past, I've
always wanted, just film "with whatever equipment I had. "This time I wanted to be professional. "Should I look towards the DSLR, "just a video camera? "So much out there. "Not sure where to start." Okay, for a church a couple things. One, definitely check out my video "Camcorder vs. DSLR." Camcorders are great because they have no record limit. They're good for that
30, 45, hour long sermon. Or that long Christmas
production with the kids choir. You might wanna video camcorder for that. DSLR, much better for all
the photos you wanna take for church, whether you're taking pictures of story and gatherings,
and all the clips, and making promo videos, and doing a recap of the
conference that happened, and doing a story of
the community outreach you just did in the city. So different purposes and different tools. When I think about
camcorders, I actually think that they're also a
little more user-friendly. We covered, a while back,
this Canon camcorder. There's good Panasonic ones. There's good Sony ones. They have flip screens,
headphone jack ins. There's a lot of good 4K ones now. There's a few that are on
sale during the holidays. You've got 4K in a lot of these. They're gonna be easier to
have them stay in focus. Less complexity of what it takes to shoot usually with a DSLR or
a mirrorless camera. Easier for the outputs, HDMI outs, and those types of things. I think a camcorder is a really solid way and approach to go. However, here would be my ultimate answer. I think, and this is what we're doing, is one of the main
cameras we're recommending on Think Media, is the Sony a6400. So not only is this a
super rad photo camera. Not only is it a vlog camera with you can flip up the screen and
use it for YouTube stuff. So you have great photography, you have sit down talking head YouTube style stuff, where you sit down with your pastor or some leaders in the church and you wanna film like a little series for Christmas with him. This guy'll break the bank, but then you've got the ability to, I would say, back of the room, for any kind of production. This is what we do for our conference, GrowthVideoLive.com. It happens in Vegas once a year. It'll be next September 2020. You don't have to have this lens, but now we've got a camera. But why am I saying all this? This has no record limit. So this is a video camera as well as a APS-C YouTube camera, as well as an incredible
photography camera, as well as it's got the mic input. And it's got proper 4K, and not overheating in 4K. We have had a little bit of issues. We have two of 'em and on one doesn't overheat, one does. But because of the cage,
it dissipates the heat, and we've had no issues. This, my friends, is something, 'cause again, you don't
even need to use it for everything I just said, but think about how future-proofed everything I just said is. You've got a 4K camera. You've got a YouTube camera. Now the criticism around it for vlogging, because you can run around with it nice and light, is it doesn't have IBIS, but a lot of cameras don't. You just wanna make sure you use an optical steady shot lens, OSS. So if you use this Sony lens right here, or even the 10-18 or 19
wide angle Sony lens, it's got OSS, optical steady shot. That takes out some of the shake. So there's a few thoughts on that coming from your boy in Las Vegas. - [Female Voice] I can learn
to understand you much better if I can get familiar
with the way you talk. - Okay, "I returned the a6400 for a6400 "because the flipout screen, but no IBIS." "How about the 6600." Or is it 66 or 67? Isn't it the 6700? "Me and my sister are
10 and eight years old. "What do you think?" Yeah, I mean if you want to get IBIS, basically, the 6100, the 6400, (laughs) now the 6600 or 700. Why don't we actually look it up? We do have that ability. Has IBIS. I mean, are you really gonna vlog with it, is my question. You might. Oh, it is 6600. Have I been saying the a6700? So, yeah. Yeah, get this one. It's great. Wait, I'm not showing you the right thing. Okay, here ya go. So this would be kind of
the newest Sony, right? With the IBIS and
everything else I just said. So yeah, that would be
better than even the 6400, it just costs more, right? You're gonna pay $1,400 just for the body. But yeah, I think if you can afford it, then that would be better. From the tests I've seen, the IBIS sometimes acts weird, but it's kind of better than nothing, and it does give you
that stabilization help. "Thanks for the super chat. "I was looking for a
Canon 80D for YouTube. "Is that no good?" Yeah, it's still good. In fact, and I'll put a link to this in the description below, by the way, those are affiliate links. So if you're doing any shopping this year, definitely stop by Think Media first. We try to add as much value as possible and that just helps. So that means if you click a link, we get a small percentage,
a few bucks off the sale. It doesn't make the camera cost any more, and it just helps. Canon refurbished, my
favorite sales that are happening right now are these
Canon refurbished sales. If we head over here, and
we go to the left side and click 80D, here's the deals. You could grab, I think, two lenses. Is it this one? $640 in savings. Yes, so this is the one right here. Or it's maybe just the nicer lens. This is the really dope. This one has an electronic
zoom type of a situation. If you connect this thing to the bottom. This kit right here, $640 off. So refurbished and $800
with a fire 18-135. Something to check out. Okay, I got more questions. "What's a good price point for DSLRs?" I'm still catching up on some, and I'll try to get to
as many as possible. That's a completely open-ended question. What's a good price point? I mean, how much do you have? You probably, I think that if you buy, okay, so really quick. Do you need photo or
do you also need video? If you just need photos,
you could go 200 bucks, like 300 bucks, and then you could get some decent DSLRs that
are a little bit older. You also, I mean, shoot, T3i is one of the great original 1080p
DSLRs where you could find those secondhand
and things like that. So I'd say, what's your
budget, when it comes to that would be the biggest question. I think that, and it's
a mirrorless camera, but where I'd wanna be is at the M50. I think that if you're
gonna spend 400 bucks, I know it's like $100 is a lot more, $200 is a lot more. But if you're gonna spend $400, why not spend $550, like
$510, for the Canon M50? Or, if you have to have
a DSLR, the Canon SL3. SL3, just to clarify, is essentially the M50 in a DSLR. There are differences, but it has the same kind of 4K vibe, and it's the different mount. This guy is at $600. So I'm saying, SL3 $600, M50 $600, that's the retail, new
price of each of those. That's what I recommend. Ken, "Between the t7i,
the 77D, or the 80D, "which is best?" Hard to say, man. What do you need? Do you need the headphone
input of the 80D? The 77D's newer, as is the t7i, so you get a newer processor, which can help with low light and the image quality a little bit. Excuse me. Between all of those, I think they're the same sensor. What do you need and
what are you looking for? If I was buying a camera
today out of those, I would probably grab the 77D. Us Men, "I'm looking for a camera that's "perfect in low light,
as I'm making videos "after my regular office working hours, "so the camera with better performance "in low light is my priority. "Which camera should I buy?" Low light, I'm gonna lead
you towards Sony a7 III. But let me actually flip it on you. I think you should buy lights. It's actually gonna be
cheaper to buy lights than it is to buy a super
killer camera for low light. Let me show you some of my
Black Friday shopping here. One of the things we're
gonna be testing out, but I've already pumped about it, is this lighting kit. What the heck? Holy Lightning Deal! My friends, we need you to check out this light right now. Heather, I'll give you a link to share. If you don't mind supporting. I don't know if I've ever seen something as crazy as this. Midstream, here we are, it's coming to you in slack Heather, we'll
throw this in the chat. This is a Lightning Deal
so ya gotta grab it quick. Holy smokes, man! This lighting kit is $24. For the price of you and
three friends at Starbucks, you could get just a lighting softbox kit for your house. Now here's what I know about it so far, is that you don't wanna travel with it. If you set it up once and
kinda forget it, it's great. But the stands and stuff are
not gonna be super crazy. But let me tell you why I
picked out this kit to test. And it's on Lightning Deal right now, where we shared the link
in the chat for you. Or you could just go check it out. But that'll be our affiliate link. Get the Mount Dog and here's why. A lot of these lights are the exact same. The actual bulbs. They're gonna be fine. The CRI means how good the
Color Rendering Index is. But I picked this out because the bulb is 135 watt and not 85 watt, which means it's much brighter than a lot of the cheap lighting kits that are out there. I actually picked it up last night. Frickin' paid more than
you're about to pay if you wanna pick up the
dopest, cheap lighting... $24.48 for a light kit! That's what I'm saying. Then that's gonna give you
all the light you need. You're gonna have light
for your SL2, your M50. So if you're shooting in
your office after hours, invest in lighting. Now maybe you don't want bigger softboxes. That's maybe the only thing. Another one I picked up was the Neewer. Just so we could review
this over on Think Media. It's a $84 LED, not bulb-based. So the bulbs could break,
but this won't really break, unless you like smash it on the ground. But the bulb can't
shatter like glass bulbs. So an LED ring light for less than $100. A lot of cheap options you have, affordable options you have, for lighting. That's what I'd recommend. If you want a low light
performance camera, as you mentioned, I'll
share some of my other Black Friday deals that
are still going on. That Lightning Deal's crazy, man. Then get a Sony a7 III or
a7S, with a G Master lens. That's gonna cost five grand. So M50 plus a $25 lighting kit, is gonna cost you less than $600. Jennifer, "I'm having a hard time "figuring out what to upgrade to the 80D. "I would like a full frame 4K, "but really loved Canon auto focus. "I want the camera to be lightweight. "The 5D Mark IV looks interesting." Super heavy though. Yeah, it's super large and heavy. And 5D Mark IV shoots
in the most horrendous 4K Kodak I've ever seen. The file sizes are larger than the Titanic and they don't even look that great. I honestly think the 90D is interesting. I know you want full frame, but I'm in love with it. I know the 4K, it kind of is like, there's the uncropped 4K which looks good, but I've been shooting
with the cropped 4K. I shot some videos today for one of our Black Friday specials on
some of our YouTube training. I got the wide lens on there. I've got electronic
image stabilization on, so I can turn that off, and it takes the crop out a little bit. So 4K, might can put
everything, user-friendliness, of everything that you love about it. I just don't know if
full frame would really be that much of a game-changer. Panasonic, I wish they
had phase detection. And Sony full frame, I wish
they had the flip screen. So a7 III is still what I would, and it's on sale through the holidays, but no flip screen. So if you can live with that, Jennifer, then I would probably go, and that's more insanely expensive. Just the body's gonna be $17, 1800. You know, EOS R. I actually think EOS R would be, you would probably love to be there. Now with the firmware update, it has done a lot of things. I believe they're adding 24p back. So many people love the EOS R. We haven't really spent much time with it. I think we'll spend some more time with it in this next year. And then I think Canon's
gonna do a great job in mirrorless long runs, so then eventually getting lenses, but you can convert all of them. I think that'd be a good way to go. Hit the like button if
you are getting value and grateful to be alive today. Let me know how this pop
filter's working out. Does it removes the pops? Is it kind of weird? 'Cause like a little black...? Okay, Kenneth, "Thoughts on the T6i "and the Lumix FZ1000? "I know they are not M50, but hopefully "better than my phone." I like the T6i out of those two, because you have interchangeable lenses. So the Lumix FZ1000, friends, is... Oh, am I wrong about that? No I'm not, okay good. We got limited time deal. I don't believe it's
interchangeable lenses though. You're gonna get, do you get 4K on this? You're gonna get 4K and you're gonna get not
as good of auto focus. It's contrast-based, but
it's gonna be a great camera. I think on the deal that's going on, I don't think you'd be disappointed. It's also maybe what workflow, or what workflow, what product line, what brand, you maybe wanna commit to. T6i, my gosh, why is it so expensive? If you're finding a good deal on the T6i. It's almost like the
T7i should be cheaper. You have hybrid auto focus, by the way. So there's full on contrast,
there's full on phase, and then there's hybrid. It's good auto focus. I still would want, I mean you
say they're not M50 quality, but look at how expensive it is. I don't know how much
you're getting this T6i for. 'Cause M50 on the deals is like 520 bucks. You could buy an M50 right now on eBay. New, shipped to your house,
free shipping, both ways. Both ways? I think free returns, too. You can get the body for $478. Now be careful on eBay. Just make sure it's a really solid... Like what are we talking, like $455? But you want to make sure it's Hollywood, north Hollywood cool, is this used, comes with a lens, buy now $455. Anyways, I think, Kenneth,
for the price point, we're talking kind of
about the same thing. Tiffany, "Do any low-priced Canons "have two mic inputs, so two people could "be recorded in the same video, "like an interview situation?" So in answer to that question, that's a good question, Canon camcorder. You'd be more looking at a
camcorder for that situation. Like this guy. That little rig on top
has two mic inputs on it. But I'll show you an
answer, because most don't. But you can interview people all the time. We do it all the time. So let me see if I can get an example. There you go. So check this out. Copy image address. See the two inputs there? Kinda cool. This goes back to that church question. You could have the input 1, input 2, and then adjust 'em. Camcorders are much more
built for this type of stuff. Now there's very budget ways. You could check out the Boya interview mic that we have reviewed. So this is a $30 microphone. Lotta cable. You can see it sitting on the table there. And it plugs into one input, but it records to left and right. It records vocals to left
and right separately, which is nice. But then you have to do some editing. Then in editing you can
separate left and right, make them stereo, if that makes sense, so it doesn't sound weird. Like you only hear Heather on the left, and then you hear me on the right. But it's a $30 interview mic solution. Furthermore, a lot of
times what people will do is they'll get a Zoom H4n. This is a multi-channel recorder. You could plug two mics into the bottom and you could either record
the audio separately on this, or you actually use the
headphone out or the line out and record right into the camera mixed. You use this as like a mixer in between your mic input and the source audio that you're capturing. So a lot of times, what we'll do, and this starts getting into
being quite a bit of gear, but what we'll do... See, we have two mics here. This is going into one a7 III. That's maybe a perspective of what do we actually use
to video influencers for interviews. It's a a7 III, this is shot in 4K. This is a very expensive setup. I mean, by the time you've got the lens, the two wireless mics, the Zoom H4n. But once we've invested in it, we use it for years. We have shot hundreds of videos on it. So if you really wanna
pump out tons of content, that is our strategy and
our thinking around that. So same thing. Now I also do interviews like this, where I have one mic. All I need is one mic, one mic. What I do is then just
interview the person by going back and forth
man on the street style, straight into the camera. So we've got some training about that, but those are some tips. So yeah, in answer to both questions. You could try to get
one of those camcorders. All right, Tiffany, "I
need a camera that works "like the G7X Mark II, but has a mic jack, "so that I don't have to
do a separate microphone "for doing proper recording. "Any recommendations"? Well, G7X Mark III, certainly an option. People are using it. I mean, people are vlogging with it, people are liking it. It's having some issues with auto focus. The video we have coming
up shows a couple ways to just nail focus every time quickly, by tapping Servo on the screen and doing a few other things. So that's out. But probably you're not
gonna like the price tag. But if that was the one thing you wanted, and you wanna just get crazy this year, then you may wanna just go straight to the RX100 Mark VII for the budget price of
$1,300 for this little guy. But this is an outrageously dope camera. So I mean, do you really
need the mic input? 'Cause then you could always go back to the G7X Mark II. Then, do you really need
that good of video quality? That'd be the other question. Just feel like having some fun. These are RX100 VII photos. There's probably no camera that is more of a pleasure to shoot with that fits in your pocket than the RX100 VII. I actually view it as much more of a photography camera. Oh, it shoots incredible video. But again, no internal ND filter, and it starts at 2.8, as
far as on the aperture. But it also zooms in. It's a 24 to like 100 and
billion zoom in ratio. This is like where we were, right? And this is how far it would zoom in without cropping in or
anything on the city. It is absolutely, if you're
really thinking about just having a photography camera. Friends of ours just went to Paris. They were thinking about getting this. I don't think they got it in time. I was like, this is the best camera that you wanna just capture memories. This is a great example, right? Like how crispy is that shot? But then it's kept zooming
in and like cropping it. Like what are we talking about? Like the detail of the city? This is insane. RX100 VII. Probably going too long in this shoot, but I just am too pumped about the photography of this camera. Look, what do you think? Let me know in the chat. Smash like for being grateful. And let me know what your questions are when we get to some new
questions in a second. I mean are you seeing the
image quality of the RX100 VII? Just absolutely beautiful. Like those shot, like
hey walk around the tree, pretend you're walking around. Oh hey, there he comes. Oh, trying to act cool. Yeah. All right? (laughs) So where are we going, what are we doing? Next question. Camera buying questions. Five dollar super chat, thank you. "I was looking at the EOS 80D." Yep, check it out, great prices right now. "Which do you like better, the SL2 or the M50 for vlogging?" For vlogging, probably the M50 'cause it's lighter, Patrick. Rodney, "Do you recommend the 90D, 50D, "60 Mark II, or the EOS R
as an upgrade for me SL2?" Well, EOS R out of those. I think it's also the most expensive. I'm always gonna pick
the most expensive one. I'd either go 90D, or EOS R. And EOS R's full frame, so yeah, I mean, and then
spend money on glass. Okay I saw that second part. 90D, spend money on glass. Or EOS R and save more money and upgrade for the rest of your life. It's between those two. That's what you're gonna have to debate between, in my opinion. "Can the Canon 60 auto focus for making "YouTube beauty videos?" If it's the 6D it's a
little bit more limited. You don't have a flip screen. So it's just a little
bit tougher for videos. You got 1080p and it's
probably a hybrid auto focus. It's not dual pixel, for sure. So yeah. It would not be my favorite camera for making beauty videos. I think it could be frustrating. You could make it work, but
I think it'd be frustrating. Technical camera questions. OC Imaging, "Sean, do you agree that 1080p "is still good enough for YouTube?" Of course! This is 1080p right now. I think this is good enough for YouTube. Let me know if this video's
good enough for YouTube. Ann T, "What's the max
continuous recording time "of the G7X Mark II?" 30 minutes. Pretty much true for all of 'em. 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Almost all of them besides the GH5, the Sony a6400, or camcorders, have that same time limit. The Spanish Leo, "What
improvements do you think "the new M50 in 2020 will have? "Do you think it's worth waiting for?" Canonrumors.com tells us that maybe they're gonna drop the M50 September 2020. Anything can change, by the way. But I don't expect the M50 to come out at CES or NAB, and who knows if it'll even come out next year. Here's what we know about the M50. The sales are through the roof. It's maybe their best-selling camera. That's for good reason. That's why we talk about it so much here. Because it's just a joy to work with, just a good price point. So I'm sure they're working on it. So what's my point? I don't think I'd wait. It's kind of like the 80D and the 90D. The 80D is still being
sold and still great. I think that the M50
will also be, Mark II, will be a step forward, and it won't even really push the M50 down really. It'll just go up with some new features, and be more expensive. Kinda like G7X Mark II is
really holding its price because that's also one of the great vlogging cameras of all time. And the price is not
going down because people still know it's absolutely great. "Is the Canon M50 good for livestreaming?" Not really. My friends at Livestreaming Pros, my friend Diana, has done some stuff. You have to get third party software. It works for a while, it
glitches out for a while. Here's what it says over here, though. Max resolution, clean HDMI, yeah. Unlimited runtime, yeah. People have had issues with that. So it claims that it
works on the cam link, I've just heard people
that have issues with it. So maybe check out some
other YouTube videos. I just know from what my
friends have experienced. I haven't tried to livestream with it. In my opinion, that's kind
of why we point people. I mean the SL2, it says it
requires a dummy battery, here. You gotta think about that generally too. Like Disable Eco Mode, they tell you this. But you need a dummy battery. So you buy that separate battery so it stays on continuously, and I think there's a setting
to say don't turn off. But I'd be hanging out in the Sony world. The a6400, this would be one reason why. So it's verified by Elgato. Micro HDMI, unlimited runtime, clean HDMI, 4K if you want. You get the dummy battery. Retains full auto focus
with clean HDMI out. So read through this website link. I'll shoot that over to Heather in Slack so she can get that to you. Or Mel. Check it out. "M50, yes or no for vlogging?" I think yes. Good shock in mic. It's not heavy, even when you mount it. You put gear all around it, it's not heavy at all. It's a very light camera. We have a video coming out with the best settings for M50 vlogging. Again, different than
this is what I believe to be a true vlogging camera, would be like a G7X or a
point and shoot like this. But I think M50 is a great way to go. Dargeraldo, "Would M50 be good for doing "football, basketball highlight videos? "Which lens should I get?" That's a good question. The lens is what's
gonna probably kill you. Now here's two things. If you're shooting in broad sunlight, that's gonna be an advantage. You don't need as fast of a lens. If you're shooting on a field at night that has a ton of light on the lights, you could do a little bit in lower light. But really what you're gonna want is a 70-200 millimeter lens for Canon. Pretty much, you have to
get this focal length. So if you were to get an f/4, and this would work in
the middle of the day, it's gonna be plenty bright
to use that f/4 aperture. You could get this guy
with the USM auto focus for $549 and here's what we're looking at. It's essentially this, right? This is what we're talking about. And you'd be putting the
M50 on there just like that. Now there's also, and it is a
good auto focus in photo mode, and you've got auto focus points. See if you're gonna get the 2.8 lens, even faster and better for
low light or night time, you know, this is like
break the bank type of... Like, oh that hurts, $1,800. Then what you could do on these though, is you can get Sigma and read about them, so you have sometimes the
Sigma one, $1,100, 2.8. See it says sports? That's kind of what, and then you just check out the rating. So you're gonna save money off buying the Canon brand lens 70-200 and kind of hard to explain but because it's not full frame and because it crops in, it actually is longer than 70-200. So the M50, what I would do is I would get a monopod or a tripod
and you actually mount it on this little thing. You don't actually put
the tripod on the camera. You put it on the lens itself
because this thing's heavy. Then you're on a mono pod like this, and you're able to then zoom in. Those are the pretty much the lens that sports photographers
and videographers are gonna be using. There you go. Some kind of a 70-200 lens. "Is there a way," Wendy,
"to get around the "29-minute recording limit on Canons, "like the Canon T6i, to
make the shoot longer "than just at once?" The way to do it is to record
to an external recorder. So you may not want to necessarily go to all of that work, but let's talk about it. It's a really good question. So if you got a Canon T6i,
your first question is does the T6i have a clean HDMI output? Yes it does. Does it have unlimited runtime? Yes it does. Connection type mini HDMI, great. Next step, get a Ninja
Atomos external monitor, recording monitor. Oh yeah, here we go fam. In fact, you wanna just get crazy, I didn't know we were gonna get this crazy on this livestream, (claps) you could get a really long HDMI cable and you could actually
bring that HDMI cable over to your desk where you're shooting. And you're gonna plug it in, and here's what it's gonna do. It's gonna go into the HDMI port of, let's say, your Canon 80D, which has a 30-minute time limit. So you're gonna go into
the side HDMI port. You plug into the Atomos and it records to a hard
drive on the monitor that you plug into the back. 600 bucks and so this workflow is, I mean, people do it, but definitely kind of a learning curve. You could plug this into the wall as well. You can run these off batteries, you can plug it into the wall. Here's a situation. I think that would be the
hard drive right there. You got the batteries out there. Let's see if we can get a picture of where the hard drive... Here you go. So there's the batteries on that side, hard drive slips on this
side, like a little SSD. You could then also do all kinds of stuff. The footage actually
looks better oftentimes because you're getting an HDMI capture of the footage and it's
not being downprocessed. You can capture in Pro Res so that you could edit right in Final Cut. So we're getting geeky right now. so again, if you were
to go down that path. You also could try to keep it simple and just say I just want plain HDMI, I want to keep it simple. So here's the Atomos with two drives. It looks like there's a couple packages. Two hard drive caddy, a carry case. Oh, it actually says no hard drive. So those are the caddies for that, hold the hard drives. Cool question, let me know if there's any follow ups on that. I get the Canon M50 is a kit lens. Okay, "If I get the Canon M50 kit lens "for three to 10-foot tripod shots, "what's the best budget
macro lens for the M50?" Yeah, the kit lens is great. I don't even know if
there are Canon M macro. There is one. There's not that many Canon M lenses but I got good news for
all the Canon M EF-M peeps in the house. Okay, so the 28 millimeter
is a macro lens. So what's the best? That might be like the only. And so you got this guy right here. This is a macro STM f/3.5. Definitely check it out. Ooh, what do we got here? A little example. Wow, see, very cool, right? So that's 28 macro. What's a macro lens do? It allows you to get super close to coins, super close to watch things, to raspberries in Lacroix. You know, all the things that people film. To lemons in Lacroix, shout out your favorite seltzer water in the chat, shout out if you even like seltzer water. Shout out your favorite
beverage in the chat and I'll connect with
you guys in a second. But there's one other
really exciting thing that's happening. So EF-M lenses are what
you call M50 lenses that mount directly on the camera. Sigma is releasing some
new lenses for the M50. So it's fire. So you got the 16 millimeter 1.4. Come on, can't wait. You got the 30 millimeter 1.4, game-changer portraits
and game-changer for, like you want some depth of field, crispy M50 beauty videos,
talking head videos, game over. This one will make you,
this is like vlogging. However, no image stabilization. So something to keep in mind, this guy, you know,
same thing on the Sony, it's a little jittery
if you don't have IBIS. This guy, oh man, is
just an absolute beaut. You got the 56 1.4. I probably wouldn't sit in front of this and film on the M50. I would shoot from behind it, and so it'd be these first two that I want to get. They're gonna be a couple
hundred dollars each. Really great Sigma glass
coming out on those. I'm gonna check it out over here with what you guys are drinking. Smash like, thanks for being here, yes favorite Lacroix is peach pear, awesome to see you 3d Punk. New questions coming in. I'll get to as many as I can. We're only at an hour? Time to stand up, my Apple watch tells me. No, the stream must go on! Let's do a few shout-outs. Let's grab some more Qs. I got some more on my list. And let me remind you of
a few things we're doing over the holidays. At any point during this video, definitely check out some of the summaries of things in the description, some of my favorite videos. We got our best Canon Black
Friday deals video out. We got Think Media merch. By the way, the link is teespring.com/stores/think-media-merch. A little long, but ThinkMediaMerch.com. Maybe we'll link that up. We can get that linked up, but we'll just send it straight here. Give the gift of Think hoodie. All Christmas long, for
those that think different, think bigger, that think
outside of the box, and that want that custom
black red Think hoodie. All Christmas. Helping perpetuate the Think movement. 3d Punk, I get the Canon. Okay San, "Hi Sean, does the a6400 split "the HEVC files into four Giga big chunks? "I'm planning to record it
for around four to six hours. "I don't want to split it." I don't know the answer that question. I don't know if we
shoot in the XAVC files, to be honest. We might just use the mp4 files, so that's even more clarity on that. Vipop4K, "Is 4K overrated? "1080p's okay?" I don't think 4K is overrated. I think that if you didn't
check out our video, watch it a little bit
earlier, we got some tips about 12 things to know about cameras. What we learned was, when you're making a buying decision, we learned that in this video, "What Camera Should I Buy? "How to Choose the Best
Camera for YouTube" that 4K now is in over
50% of American homes, here in the U.S. So obviously, whatever curve
that is across the globe. It's in 50% of homes going into 2020. So one out of two people have a 4K TV. Most monitors are now becoming 4K. Almost all phones are 4K. So 4K is not overrated. It's definitely more mainstream. But in answer to your question, 1080p, think about even Netflix. You know, it's called UHD on Amazon Prime. UHD on Netflix, UHD content. But a lot of content's still 1080p and it's great. A lot of final content's
still being made in 1080p. That might not be true. I think probably most TV shows and things are almost all being produced in 4K now. So I would probably say this. Three years from now I think we'll probably be all 4K. 1080 probably has another three years, and even beyond that, it's probably got another five years, but before it's kind of
like an older format. Again, I think the M50 is a 1080p camera. It has 4K, but I would use it for 1080p. I think the 90D, I just shot it today, and here this is a good example. So I just shot some videos today, about our holiday special for one of our YouTube training courses. And I used the 90D and loved it, but I shot in 4K. Worked great. It has no overheating issues. Beautiful image. And then I threw it on Dropbox to send it to Heather and Mel, and I was like, dear
god, this is gonna take five to 10 times longer. So I was like, this is
slowing down our workflow. Just one example, slowing down the process of getting this footage sent over. So then I actually
brought it into Premiere, downprocessed it to 1080, and then uploaded it to Dropbox so we could actually use it. Then eventually I put it
on my Instagram stories in a little square that
was probably like 480 by the time it got there. So that's just kind of something to think. Everything's different. It's harder to edit 4K, bigger file sizes, but it's also where things are going. So it's kind of a long answer. "What camera has good
focus when zooming in?" Dual pixel auto focus,
phase detection auto focus. Now keep in mind that these
cameras don't really zoom. I mean they zoom, but they
don't zoom in smoothly. Ironically, it's not
even ironic necessarily, but Sony's kit lens is a zoom lens. It's got power zoom on it. It's got a little (whirring sounds) It's pretty cool. So that has one. There's also an 80D zoom setup kit. It's called a power zoom adaptor. Yeah, with dual pixel. So this guy, see not the best reviews. It's all right though. It connects to that lens right there and then you lock it together, and it allows you to zoom smooth. You got slow and fast, so it kind of turns your DSLR into kind of like a video camera. So here you go. You can see it in the picture here. The 80D being more like a
video camera setup situation. So then the clearer answer
would be a Canon camcorder. If you want to zoom in, stay auto focused. Or it doesn't have to be Canon. Let's talk about it. I think Panasonic's killing
it with the camcorders. Panasonic camcorder 4K. Come on, holidays. Look at this! Limited time deal. This is dual cameras, by the way. Do you see that camera in the lens? I'm hiding it. Let me take me off here. Look at that in the lower right hand. That's a second camera. There's two cameras on this one camera. So you could do a wide shot and then you can do this tight shot here. You've got 4K, you've
got image stabilization, hybrid OIS, you've got a great lens. Now it's not gonna look the same as a DSLR or mirrorless camera. You could take 4K photos, 4K video. You've probably got a
headphone jack and a mic input, I would assume. And right now we're on special. We've got 30% off, this thing's $700. So you can shop for, go back
to that church question, or like shooting seminars,
no record limit, right? So this is definitely the
world you could be living in. There's deals on all these. You can see how big the sensor is. These sensors are usually,
like there's three stabilizer things in here. Probably not enough people,
and we probably have not done a good enough job
talking about these. It's not really our vibe and our style, because we kind of like vibe and style, and these have more of
a flatter image to them. But this right here,
this thing'll crush, man. So you get a flip back camera in. So, yeah, pretty pretty cool stuff. All right. Camera blaze buying questions, Myron. "What do you think of Amazon's
T7i bundles they offer?" That's a good question. Amazon's bundles. (sighs) I'm not really a bundle guy, but if you don't have anything. That's a good question. We'll talk. That's what you're here for. That's what I'm here for. Grab some coffee. This is a good bundle. I think most of them are kind of a joke. This tripod, garbage, like cheap. This USB SD card reader, maybe nice. That's what that thing
is right under the lens. Battery, battery charger,
wall charger, kind of nice. These macro lenses things, garbage. Filters, they're not gonna
be the best quality glass. That flash, a joke, it
already has a flash. These SD cards, old and
and maybe avoid those. Battery charge, the camera bag. So I guess getting some of these things, because they also don't
even really cost much more. What these companies do is they want you to buy it in this bundle
from them with all these... It's just kind of cheaper stuff. I like to handpick what I want. There's maybe some value to some of them, if you really think through what you want. So just let me review one more of these. This guy, this wrist strap, kind of cool if you like the look of it, and definitely good so you
don't drop your camera. This guy looks legit. Like a nice little deal
you could put there. Some magic fiber lens pouches, reasonable. And it comes with a backpack
and then the two lenses. So I would just think
through every single item and then price it out
compared to not having it. And you get the two lenses. A lot of times you get this stuff almost for free, quote unquote,
compared to what you pay. So a lot of those are on eBay, too. Again, I'm actually more
of the buy the body guy, because this might be
the set it and forget it. That would be the way to summarize it. You just wanna have all the stuff, couple lenses, get it all in one bag, you got the SD card, you
don't want to think about it, and you think you're gonna use the things. I'm like buy the body only for as cheap as I can find it refurbished, or like direct from
Amazon renewed or Canon. Then I'm like, buy the exact lens I want, because I may not even use the kit lens. And then buy the bag I
want or whatever else. All right. Ashley Love, "M50 versus 90D. "Which one do you recommend
for beauty content "and vlogging?" If you can get the 90D, I'd get the 90D. It's more expensive. Sean will always, when given the option, and not just because I'd recommend the more expensive
model, but because truly it's more expensive for a reason. The 4K is pretty proper and uncropped. So $1,100 with the lens? Does that really come with the lens? That's a good deal. So you've got the newest processor. You've got slow motion and proper 4K. You've got the new auto
focus and what-not. So definitely check that. Someone is here and so I will be back in just one minute. Someone is going absolutely crazy. I'm gonna pull a right hook on you, and and we're gonna check
out the Canon camera versus the SL2 versus the M50. I'll probably be back in 30 seconds. So the Canon SL2 and the
Canon M50 are two of the best budget options on the market right now for content creators,
YouTubers, and anybody that wants to shoot great
photos and great videos. But which one is the better buy? In this video I'm gonna be breaking down the pros and cons of
each of them, coming up. (upbeat techno music) Hey what's up, Sean here with
Think Media, bringing you-- If you want to learn more about the SL2, that guy is out there and we're back. All right. Captain, "What's a good
budget flip camera, "flip screen camera for a gaming channel?" Well, maybe the cheapest
a6100 would be maybe one. What's your budget? You want just a clean,
you want to be able to plug it into your computer. A6100, it's not super
cheap but I'd definitely check this one out, and a6100. That's what I'd recommend. Daniel Lee Legend, "What
camera or video recorder "do you recommend for
pitch dark ghost hunting?" Never done it. Something that has
infrared, or something that is kind of like night-vision goggles. So probably none of these cameras. You're probably looking for something that's designed for that. "What do you think about
the Sony a9 Mark II? "I want to use it for fitness modeling "and action shooting." I think it's an absolutely killer camera and I think there's some
big discounts on it. Maybe I would go Mark I, because by the way y'all, if you
want to talk about sports, there's a lens and this
camera is only $4,500. But the cool thing about this camera is, yeah it's $4,500, but right
now you could go Sony a9, and they've got some Black Friday holiday discounts on this guy right now. So let's even see the B&H photo price. Almost $1,000 cheaper. That's some pretty serious... Maybe you want the Mark II, but this guy is just one of the killer. People might ask, too, what
makes this so much better than in video mode? The video is usually
uncropped and really killer. Full sensor readout type of look to it. But it's the photography. It's meant for sports
photography, full frame. And not only the image
you can get out of it, but also how big the buffer size. So it's one thing to be
like, click click, good image of someone who could be like,
okay reposition yourself. For sports, you need
to be (rolled R trill) in full raw, like the
buffer is able to just take massive shots all in a row, and then refresh itself
quick and then next play. (rolled R trill) Or model shoot all day long. (rolled R trill) That's what these cameras can do. So like what's the
price, what's the point? Well if you're like, hey
honey, stand right there. Click click click. Hey move around, click click. That's why you wouldn't need. You could get almost
similar image quality, you just don't have that crazy processor frames per second. Stirovay, "With budget of
2 to 3,000, would you still "recommend the 6400 with
a Rode boom mic Pro kit "for video creation? "Any suggestions on a
lens within that budget?" If you need the flip
screen is where I'm stuck. I would probably, if I had
$3,000, want the a7 III, with the Tamron 2.8. This is my dream setup right here. The Tamron 2.8. It's not super wide for vlogging, but if you don't need it, 28-75. Lens costs about 700 bucks. Got the ND, variable ND,
filter on there right now. Fader ND. And this kit right now on
sale over the holidays, you might be like $2,500. So then on top of that you
could get the Rode boom kit. You could get the $25 light kit. Did we sell that thing out? We should sell that thing out. $25 for the lighting kit. If you're just joining the livestream, we discovered the
craziest deal of all time. (muffled thump) It's still on Lightning Deals, my friends. Look at this thing. $25 light kit, although
if you're getting a7 III, I'm telling you though, I think this thing will be pretty killer. 36% off the already affordable price. For the price of dinner tonight, you could have a light kit. If you're eating out at some
place that costs 25 bucks. "Do you think the lens
16-50 with the Sony a6400 "is good for vlogging traveling videos?" Yeah, that's kind of the, what lens is the 16-50? The kit lens? Is that a real lens? I don't know. Is that a real lens? You just got me curious now. Let me know what lens you're thinking of. 16 is a great focal length. I don't know, are they
usually 18 or something? Oh yeah it is. It's just the kit lens. Yeah, this is great for vlogging. It also has OSS, that's the
optical image stabilization. It is good for vlogging. On a crop sensor, it's
the 10-19 or whatever, but this is where Sony gets ya. The Sony wide angle
lens, it's amazing, but it's 10-18 f/4, this guy right here. So $800 and great for vlogging. Nice and wide, I think
it also has got the OSS. You gotta have it, optical steady shot, yeah, you're good there. Cool all right, smash like for clarity. I was just heard from Mel in Slack. The official website to

section here, accessories. Shout me out if you've been
watching since the beginning. Hit like if things are working for you and you're having a good time. We're gonna rock it all holiday long. And let me know if you just joined. We're doing a deep dive camera Q&A. My name's Sean Cannell and
our passion on this channel is helping you with
the best tips and tools for building your influence
with online video. We want to help you find the right tools for content creation so we're answering accessory questions now. Dewey asks, "Which lens
is the best all-around "for vlogging?" So typically you would want OSS, optical steady shot, or IS. And if you go over to Canon, the most popular on like
a T7i or SL2 or even on, well we can go through a couple. So this is also a problem with full frame, if you ever want to vlog in full frame. It's too dang heavy, man. You can get wide lenses but these things, with the red lines on
them, they're crazy heavy. So you gotta be just, well, these are all on sale. So you got the EFS 10-18. Now it starts at 4.5,
not my favorite thing. But IS STM, that means image
stabilization stepper motor. I don't know STM stands for, but it's the stepper motor, meaning
it's really smooth auto focus. So it doesn't go (gnashes teeth) in big... It goes in small micro steps
so it works really good with dual pixel auto focus. Now this is definitely one to check out. Furthermore, if we jump
into EF-M, so Canon M50, you can get a lens directly
for wide angle on the M50. Where is it? Does it exist still? Page two probably. Nope, okay. So we go EF-M wide lens. Hey nope, this is not it either, but this looks great, 32 1.4. Such a great lens to check out. So think about that. 1.4, very blurry background, 32 millimeters, nice focal distance, but not also what we were looking for. Here we go. The Canon EF-M goes directly on the M50, starts at 11. Starts at f/4-5.6 IS-STM. Then we just looked at
the Sony one a second ago. So for vlogging, when we're
talking about vlogging, we're usually talking about this. And therefore starting at 11 or 12, starting at these wider focal lengths helps you get more of the shot. Therefore, it's great for vlogging. Now let's even think about this. A G7X starts at 24 millimeter equivalent. That's also why it's kind of, back when Casey Neistat first popularized vlogging with a different style of setup, like building a rig and using a DSLR, we were like whoa! This is a whole different experience. So you can get away with, and people do, 24 millimeter starting focal distance on a G7X or Sony RX100
but the wider angle lens is what you could get
on a Sony or a Canon, which I would recommend for vlogging. Brian the Camera Guy, "I have the a6400 "and I want to upgrade my zoom lens. "Would you recommend going
option one, Zeiss 16-35 f/4, "or option two, 10-18, or Zeiss 16-70 f/4? "Might go full frame at Christmas." I haven't really messed
with the Zeiss lenses. Do they have image stabilization? Zeiss Batis. I don't think I would go with them. I think that they're gonna
be fire for filmmaking. If you got them on a gimbal, yes. Are they gonna look better,
yes, than the other lens. Is this not even a zoom lens? Not even the one you're talking about. Let me actually try to get to the one you're talking about if I can find it. Is there such thing as a Zeiss 16-35? Does Zeiss make zoom lenses? Oh oh, did you mean the... Okay, good clarity. So you're talking about the
Sony which is Zeiss glass. That does have optical
image stabilization. Okay, so your thing here is gonna be, this thing's also gonna be crazy heavy. We have this lens, we like it, beautiful. Yes, I think it would be... You also said you're gonna
upgrade to full frame. Did you say that? So then this would be future-proofed because I believe this
is a full frame lens. So yeah, I think that if you can spring the extra dough, then you might be just making a half step on that 10-18. I don't know if I'd go the 16-70. And wait, you're not even
necessarily saying vlogging. So maybe I'd go with
probably either of these. Because you have the same
aperture in either case, but they're gonna be much more versatile. They're gonna give you a
much greater focal distance. Omar was talking about just
how much he loves this lens. We were just using it like
two days ago or something. I believe if you even compare
this to a Sony G Master. I wrongly assumed for awhile that G Master had image stabilization. And I'm pretty sure they don't. So that's also why he loves it, is because it's actually got image stabilization in the lens. Yes, you get the 2.8
and these G Masters cost more than your car. But they're amazing glass and so, yeah. I think that this is a great deal. I think you could also
find these secondhand. You could probably get this
one, probably for 900 bucks. Don't believe me? Let me try. Mission accomplished! Doot doot doot bup doo! What if I did like a livestream that had sound effects and a little production, like I hit my oh god oh stream deck and like do something cool. $714 but let's see how bad it is. "Used-acceptable, works
well, takes sharp photos." That's a little... "Used-acceptable." "Used-good." "Good, above-average cosmetic wear. "Works great, 90-day warranty." This is me, though. It's like how I roll. I'd be getting this Fulfilled by Amazon. I mean 91% positive, but like $785? That's what I would probably do. Or then I'd be up, like
I'd go over on eBay. Sonja's like, "What are you doing?" I'm like, "I'm shopping
for lenses on eBay." And I look around here. Even this guy is under a
thousand, free shipping, free returns. Expedited shipping from
Louisville, Kentucky. I mean that's much better
than the B&H price, you know what I'm saying? And the other one's like, what? Almost $850 for the wide
vlog lens type flow. So that would be a major steal. All right. Any more questions? Bring 'em in. Smash like. Logan, "I still got
this 6300 and I love it. "I just wish it had a flip out screen. "It would make vlogging easier. "I'm curious about lenses
above 50 millimeters though." I mean 24-70 range is always nice to have. Then 70-200 if you want
to get sports photography. Then don't hesitate to check out Sigma's whole line of lenses, So Sigma Art. They might have some Black Friday deals. These sometimes get mixed reviews, but there's some like killer lenses that Sigma makes for different mounts. The one I really wanna
get into is the zoom. So if we go lens kits, wide, standard, telephoto, OS. Is that a optical stabilization lens? Okay, all right, I like it. Standard maybe? We're looking for the Art zoom lens. A lot of these are prime. A prime lens is 45 fixed, 30 fixed. And then a zoom lens
is, let's see, lens type zoom, zoom only, ha ha! Narrowing it down. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 24-70, 2.8 pretty good, 24-105. They don't really have it on here. So let's see. Sigma Art Zoom 1.8? I think it's like one
of the only 1.8 kind of zoom lenses, very cool focal distance. You've got 18-35, 1.8 fixed aperture. $639 and what a blessing
this lens could be. So definitely check that out. All right, I'm gonna
take some of your more questions here in a second. But if you're just

your videos in the studio?" Panasonic GH5. Delirious, I'm getting there. So if you've never checked
out our kit as well, I break down this kit. Think Gear Guide's the
best way to get there because we share all kinds
of other resources with you, but this particular livestreaming setup is pretty gnarly but if
you've been part of... How long you been a part of
the Think Media community? Tell me in the chat. When did you first discover this channel? A week ago, a year ago, 10 years ago? 36 years ago, before YouTube started? So here's the camera I'm using, the GH5. Lens I'm using. I built this livestreaming setup two and a half years ago maybe? Three years ago? And I use it all week
every week for business. I record online courses, I do meetings. It's a heavy-lifter, it was a
very expensive setup to build. But if you amortize it out over
how long I've been using it, the computer for it and
everything, it's insane. It's very worth... I get to sit down, do what I'm doing with vMix, my software. So I got this capture
card, the HDMI cable. There's a tabletop tripod
behind the computer that the camera is on. Then I have the continuous
power going into the camera. So I flip it on and it's
like a workhorse too. So I didn't want it to, can it handle long, just
running, running, running? I'm using a Shure mic right now, but I've used this NT-USB. I've got my Spiffy Gear
light in a triangle. So anyways, ThinkGearGuide.com
for any kind of questions like that about, especially, the gear we use. Francisco, "How do you
avoid not getting blinded "by the light for your videos?" Maybe you get used to it. This light is like blasting me right now. You start seeing stars. You maybe just get used to it. Maybe you have some light sensitivity. You know what you could do, is you could lower the light. Obviously it's not looking as good. You could then change your camera settings and higher ISO. That's why you might want
a better low light camera because you don't want
as much light on you. So you could adjust
either the camera settings and the camera quality versus the amount of light you're using. "What micro SD card do I
need for a Sony a7 III? "Slow motion or 4K?" Well, a micro SD card probably will work but you probably want
to get a normal SD card, and maybe that's what she meant? But like micro, first of all
they need to be class 10. But they're like all class 10 now. So see this says, like you don't want A1 unless that's better, but V30? What are we talking about here? Class 10, you definitely
need that 10 circled. But as confused as I am
is because I wouldn't use these for... See this one says 4K, A2, C10. Like maybe it's different classifications. So those are micro. This is what you're
gonna put in your drone. This is what you're gonna put in... Ooh, I remember I got one
that I thought was good. I was shooting some drone
footage in San Francisco, and the SD card couldn't
shoot the full 4K, the Mavic 2 Pro. So let's clarify. What you want to get for your a7 III, is these days the speeds keep going up. So like this sale right now. 95 megabytes a second is fast enough. So here's what you're looking at. Class 10, but that's like all of them now, and then this speed right here. So for 4K, we shoot all day long on 95 megabytes a second. Now the SanDisk Extremes
are up to 150 a second for the same price. So you can grab 20 bucks for 128. I would grab this 256 for 40 bucks. This is definitely a good time. Probably gonna pick some of these up. It's always what I do
around this time of year, Black Friday, Cyber Monday. So yeah, you're good right here. And SanDisk, there's other good brands. I won't say they'll never fail. They've never failed me. I know people have horror stories with all kinds of hard drives and stuff. But SanDisk Extreme, 95 megabytes or up. You go with those 150s
you should have no problem in all kinds of 4K shooting. Matt, "What lens would you
recommend for outdoor video "with a wide angle on T7i, crop sensor? "I have the 2450 and the kit lens." You're pretty good, because outdoor, there should be plenty of
light unless at nighttime. And the kit lens is like 18, right? So you should be good with that, too. 24 is also good. I mean, if you want a wide angle lens, get the wide angle lens. STM, wide angle STM Canon 10-18 if you want it really wide. This is a great lens, used it a lot. This was the lens that Casey Neistat originally kind of made popular when he started on the Canon 70D using the 10-18. Image stabilization, great lens. John says, "Just picked up the M50 on your "recommendation." Awesome, John, I know
you're gonna love it. "I need a lens to shoot my daughter's "soccer game at a distance. "Any reasonably-priced recommendations?" Okay, so here's what you get into. Is there some zoom lenses for Canon, like Canon 300 millimeters I think, I've used this one before. Like this guy, you know what I mean? Maybe I'd even use this guy. I used this guy that is like 200 bucks. 70-300 millimeter. That'll zoom in really
far and it looks terrible. And it vibrates so much, and it's so hard to get a good shot. This is compelling to me. Because you do got the nano
USM image stabilization. You start zooming in that far, you need some image
stabilization help, for sure. What you're gonna want
to do is then you'd need that converter to get
this lens on your camera. I think the other people that
are doing this really well is like Tamron. So Tamron have got some zoom lenses 18-200 and these things
mean different things. VC means vibration control. So that's what these
different lenses mean. Like this guy, up to 400 with the words world's first ultra telephoto, thrilling close-up action shots. For outdoor with a lot of
light, a hundred bucks off, instant savings right now. Starts at 3.5. I forget what Di means. One of them means crop sensor, VC means vibration compensation, which is kind of their word
for image stabilization. Faster zooms, like let's see how fast. And these will probably break the bank if you get to these bigger guys. And they'll be a little bit heavier. But even Tamron's lens
like this doesn't have to necessarily cost a arm and a leg to grab. So yeah, check out some of Tamron, Sigma. That's what you're looking for though, is something like that. And I would spend, I
mean do your research, read the reviews. There's Sigma, Tamron, Canon. You buy a cheaper one that's
more of like a kit lens, it's gonna reflect you kind
of get what you pay for. And sometimes the Tamron's
people will be like, "These are terrible." But sometimes they're like, "Amazing." They're like, "Dude, it's
better than the Canon L glass." That's kind of how I feel about this guy. It's as good... It has a different look to
it than the Sony G Master. The Sony G Master of the same focal length on Sony here is like 2,300 bucks. This is like $700 from Tamron, and I love it. Book of Alpha Raname, "Thank
you for the super chat. "I'm starting vlogging
with the HERO 7 Black "and my trusty D7100 in Tokina." Tokina is another brand to check out. Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, they make lenses for Canon, for Sony,
Olympus, Pentax, others. The HERO 7 black, love it. "Is there really a need to upgrade?" No, I don't think so. I think vlog on the HERO 7, maybe rig up like a mic input if you want or just use the on camera mic. I think that Nikon,
that's what that is right, is a great camera. You're good, man. Really well-reviewed camera. I'm not a big Nikon guy
as far as my knowledge, but I've heard great
things about this camera. And so you've got 1080p
with full auto focus, right? Yeah, so stereo mic in. You're set. You got the headphone jack too, right? Sheez, beast mode. Yeah, I'd feel great. Daniel, "Which camera
has better functionality "and takes great photos and videos "between the M50 and the M200?" They're really the best, the same sensor. And the M200, I think, is newer. They're almost, I mean I'm
sure there's differences, and don't fully quote
me, but they're the same. I mean one maybe has a newer processor. Didn't the M200 just come out? I mean you got the same sensor. They're both mirrorless. Same mount kit, same pixels, digit 8, I think the other one does. They're gonna be pretty similar. If you want it just for photos, you're probably good with the M200. If you want it for a video as well, I would go M50. Does this have a mic input? Maybe it doesn't, because
it may not even need one. It's not what it's meant for. Good question. All right, camera-buying questions. Lego building expert, "Which
is better, the ELPH 160 "or the 80D? Well, the 80D is gonna probably be better. I'm gonna guess way better. Because the ELPH, I
started vlogging on these. These are fun cameras,
but we're talking about two totally different things. This is like a little
point and shoot camera. See this is max 720p HD video, whereas the 80D, of course, can do 1080p, change lenses, headphone jack, mic jack. And this costs eight times as much. So the 80D is better. Fluffy ASMR, "I'm gonna get the Canon M50 "to start my YouTube channel. "Is the best the kit lens
or just buy the body?" I think I'm gonna recommend, type in best Canon EF-M lenses. So I got this video out. In the video I recommend,
yes, the kit lens. But there's two different kit lenses. There's the 15-45 which
is a little bit wider than I believe that one that
starts at 18 or whatever. So I recommend that kit lens. Good question, good point of
clarification on kit lenses. Then there's the EF, there's the 22 f2. I love this f2 because nice
shallow depth of field. This is a very awesome YouTube lens, but it's more limited. You don't got the zoom. So if this is your only lens, you might want to start with the kit because you get the biggest range. Same thing. If you're gonna vlog, 11-22 is nice, but it also doesn't zoom in
even as much as the kit lens, so it's still a little bit more limited. I wouldn't want this to be my only lens. So starting with the kit lens is a really great place to start. So yeah, I think if you
can, get the 15 millimeter. And I don't even know if that's possible. Let's look, well I'm
sure anything's possible. Canon M50 kit, let's
see if we have options, my Think Media friends. Let's rock the... Okay, I'm like, I don't
even know if it's possible. It's the one it comes with. Yeah, so 15-45 is the standard kit lens and so that's good news. Maybe I was thinking about
the fact that a Canon T7i has a different starting focal length. So the kit lens, that starts is 18-55. And there is usually a
different guy that that starts. So yeah, no, there's only one for the M50, so you're good there. Let's rock. Daniel, "What's the best
budget camera and lens "for studio recording?" Do you mean like recording yourself doing mixing in a studio? I would check out the Think Gear Guide. I mean, I would still say the M50. If you want maybe a wide angle lens to show what you're working on, and then mixing in your
audio off of your board, if I'm hearing you right. Rodney, "So in the a6400, 6600 or 90D?" Okay, well, it's between
the 6600 and the 90D, because on the 6600 you're getting more of the newer features and you're getting the IBIS, right? So the 6600, it shouldn't cost that much. So let's actually really see brass tacks what we're looking at here. The 6600, premium E-mount APS-C camera. Retails at $1,400 without the lens. $1,800 and you got the IBIS, the image stabilization
is the big difference. 4K is probably gonna be better because it's gonna be uncropped. I think Canon's will look just as good. It crops in slightly. It's got the uncropped mode,
but it's processed a little. I still like how it looks, but you could tell a difference. This is probably to be a
better photography camera. Not probably, this will be
a better photography camera. If not just slightly. That image stabilization
is the big difference. A lot of other small details, but you're gonna be pretty close there. The 4K HLG, amazing, right? Keep your subject in focus. Both are gonna have killer auto focus. So then your next question is gonna be, Canon battery's probably
gonna last longer. Is this the same batteries other ones? Or maybe they put the new battery in it. That's something to consider. So that's a 6400, 1400 bucks, but let's talk about it. If you need a lens you're
gonna go into much more, like 1800 bucks. So then if we go Canon
90D, then with a lens, can we get a lens on this
in our advertisements here? On sale right now. You're definitely gonna save
money, so what's your budget? Uh, I don't get it. I mean this must just
be the body, unless I'm reading this wrong, and it's
the best deal of all time. So yeah, really great. Of course you know, the
slow motion on the Sony is gonna be, I think, probably better. But what do you have here? You have a DSLR. You've got all of Canon's glass. You've got the EF mount here. You've got the flip screen to the side. See a lot of those things
are move the needle for me. The user experience and just overall filmmaking experience... I got this right here. This is what I wanna roll with. My dream is like I want to roll with 90D flip screen, flip it on, Rode Pro, EF mount, activates all
my lenses that I have over here that I've been
building up in Canon. And then I think about that, yeah, again if I'm gonna carry him around, that IBIS is nice and so those are some things to consider. But let's just compare the body. You're already at $350 cheaper on the body right now of the 90D. So those are a few some food for thought. Those would be the ones I'd try to decide between, Rodney. KK or a Chanel, "Cheap vlogging camera "that's not too heavy and can fit "on a tripod." DJI Osmo? On sale for Black Friday and especially from cheap and you get image stabilization and just carry it around. I mean we got that Pocket. Also I know people love this. They make little rigs with it. So 300 bucks for this little guy and you got a basically a little gimbal. And then $250 though. This is a good deal, man. This camera is sick. You got the selfie screen built-in. That is a real thing, right? So we took this jet skiing. Can you do external audio? You can, sometimes it's a little tough, so I don't know. External audio DJI Osmo. Not the Pocket. Not the Pocket, I don't want the Pocket. DJI Osmo, oh wait, action? I needed to actually say action. Great, so here you go. Things like this. I'm glad we're looking at this. This kind of setup for vlogging, I think, is a great idea. Osmo, selfie screen, the rock steady or whatever it's called, image stabilization, external mic, that's gonna sound good. Obviously gotta test it all out. Little hand-held thing's gonna be smoother than other things. I think that for the
weight of it, et cetera, that's a good question. That's kind of where I'd roll. Otherwise G7X Mark II. You can't zoom in, you
don't have a proper lens, so it's not gonna be my
favorite photography camera, but for smooth,
storytelling, walking around, different cameras for different things. That's definitely stuff
that I'd check out. "What's the best camera for an upcoming "filmmaker and vlogging? "$500 limit." I don't really consider
vlogging and filmmaking necessarily something I'd
put in the same sentence, because if it's upcoming filmmaker, then you definitely want to check out Nolan Molt, who's on the Think Media team. He was a grip on "The Affair," the show, if you've ever heard of that. So you get into cameras
that are like these Blackmagic Pockets, they're a little more. But just as a point of
reference, even this. Because, for instance,
you could grab this guy for $600 bucks, used, free returns. (chuckles) Free returns. But like Blackmagic Pocket, it records to SD cards,
can shoot log formats or pro res, headphone jack. It's a different approach. You don't really have auto focus, but filmmakers don't
need auto focus, per se. They're pulling focus,
they're measuring focus. That's what I mean. So filmmaking is so
different than vlogging. Vlogging should be the
Osmo I just showed you, because you just want
to walk around and vlog. On the flip side, you
could just go like T3i or cameras similar. People would get these, you could get it for $164. Used-acceptable, let's
get one that's even in good condition or very
good, for 200 bucks. Excellent condition. There's some discoloration on the charger, but it's no effect on usability. So you get an old-school camera like this, and then you go Magic Lantern Canon T3i. This is what filmmakers do, is they hack software into... They install, this is like Magic Lantern, is software that you download and install in your Canon camera and it gives you filmmaking settings like
zebras and a spot meter and a histogram, all in the camera itself. By the way, you literally could, the camera I showed you is $200. So you have $500, you get a lens, you download Blackmagic,
you buy an SD card, and then maybe you get a
tripod or even a gimbal, which is gonna be more for filmmaking. T3i is light and what I
just described though, is not something I'd
recommend for most people to go down that road. You start installing Magic Lantern, you're like, how the heck does this work? But as a filmmaker you're
gonna stay up for hours. You're gonna invest hundreds of hours in studying your craft,
mastering Magic Lantern, zebras, pulling focus, you
know, shooting in flat. It allows you to shoot flat and
do different color profiles. Color grading. It's a whole different
approach in thinking. So great question. I think you could invest
in some cheap cameras. Join the Magic Lantern community, because that's where a lot of people that are thinking that way hang out. Then if you want to
vlog, it's the opposite of what I just said. Get a G7X and just be
like auto, flip screen, it's in focus. Hey what's up guys? I'm vlogging, a good to see ya. And if you are vlogging,
I don't even think you should be really color grading. It's about speed. A lot of YouTube stuff, and we drift more away from the filmmaking side. We have mass respect for it, and Nolan on our team's
gonna be focusing more on that side of Think Media. We're on the side of like,
get your content to market, post videos fast, make them good, but edit them fast, post them fast, get those views, focus on the content not the camera. Make it as simple as possible. Make it as user-friendly as possible. If you have to deal with manual focus and figuring all these
details about focus, it's gonna slow you down. That's our perspective
and so we're happy to help on either side but we lean more on that quick, simple, set it and forget it, the best cameras for YouTube type of flow. If you want more about that,
Think Media Gear Guide, to kind of learn our perspective. You start going into
some of the higher end cameras, like the a7 III,
now you really do have best of both worlds. So that's at ThinkGearGuide.com
to download that. There's a link in the description. This a7 III is easy. There's a learning curve, for sure. But filmmakers push
this thing to the edges. So when you invest a little higher end, you can do both. But you can pull off some incredible filmmaking stuff without spending much, quote unquote, much money. Real budget indie filmmaker type hustle. That's what I'm recommending. Nathalley, "I want to
make longer more creative "beauty videos, so because
the battery and no time limit "of the a6400 a better choice?" Might be. If you think you're gonna be
going over 30 minutes a lot. Now you can always just
get up and restart it. It's really not that big of a deal. It's really frustrating if it stops and you're not paying attention. Then you're like, shoot I missed the time. So that could be frustrating. You could set a timer. You know, these types of things happen, as I get more delirious
on this livestream, going minute after minute after minute. I forget words. If you're doing the same,
you're doing a big batch day, you want to take out as
much friction as possible. You get back later I'm like, did I not even say the words right in that sixth video on our batch shoot? That's not the only thing. I think you'd be fine with the M50. But yeah, if you want to
just be able to turn it on and shoot continuously,
then definitely do that, a6400, because of the no time limit. "I was looking to do a YouTube" Myron (mumbles) "I was looking to do a YouTube channel "as well as streaming. "Would having separate
cameras for each be best?" I mean, it's a dream. Meaning I don't really take
this camera out very often and I just boom, I sit
down, I turn my light on. I got my little hair light. Watch this. (clicks) Little separation behind me, huh? Oh, there it is. Hits the hat. Notice how it hits the hat bill? Makes the hat bill stand out. Wow, so much flatter and darker. (clicks) So I built a studio. I wanted to set it up and then I wanted to just be able to grab this and leave. I would recommend that. I mean, if you got the the
money to invest and what-not. And here's the thing. For your streaming setup, you could get like a Logitech BRIO, which is a 4K webcam type flow and then that's
a good proper camera for streaming, 4K
potentially, or just whatever. Pop up an Elgato green screen behind you. Key it out in whatever
software you're using, and then have a proper camera for shooting other kind of YouTube videos. Best ones I'd recommend, M50, SL2, things like that. ThinkGearGuide.com to get my best advice, or watch the replay of this. And definitely check out the video that was before this. Go to Think Media. So if you go to ThinkGearGuide.com we have those answers there. But if you also go to just Think Media, definitely watch this
if you haven't seen it. Because I talk about the 12 things you should know when buying a camera. We didn't really touch on all of these when it comes to like, okay,
does it have auto focus? What's the aperture? What's the record limit? What kind of lens options are there? So the 12 camera features,
definitely check this out. It's on the Think Media channel, and that'll be a helpful video there. Pam, "I've been using my
Mac computer and iPhone. "I've been doing more
Facebook lives but want "to broadcast on YouTube live. "What is the best camera to start with?" Well, if you're already
been using your Mac computer and iPhone, you could
start with your webcam on your Mac and your
iPhone and you could just start going straight to YouTube. Heather has done that on
her home school channel. We've got some new
series coming up with her about more smartphone stuff. She just goes live from
her phone on YouTube. And it doesn't have to
be a super challenging setup or it could be very basic. I'm trying to think of
what one of those streams might have been. "Hangouts on Air." So this is a webcam in her office. Shares her screen. Now "Hangouts" is actually
gone now, I think. But there's other ways to do this. She does a little training
all on home school myths over on her YouTube channel. This is amazing, right? 2,300 views, helping people,
following our process of what we teach on YouTube, but using simple tools and
just over here and streaming. What's amazing is she
just uploaded one video in the past month because we keep her pretty busy here at Think Media, but she does this as a
passion to help people. She's grown by 200 subscribers. Got 8,000 views in the last month. Why? Ranked videos. I know if you've been around Think Media, you know we teach that. Search-based videos, smart strategy. So that your channel is growing for you whether you're uploading videos or not. So that's what she's been doing even with just a webcam and
just using her smartphone and not having a fancy
camera per se, right? Diramunde, "Best headband camera." Hmm, Osmo or a GoPro. We were shooting recently
with the Osmo Action. So cheap right now and it's just so great. I mean it's like 250 bucks right now. It came out at like $400. (clears throat) Excuse me. Maybe I don't have the
footage on this computer. I was gonna show you some. I put a Osmo headband. Osmo Action head band. Is that what you call it? Freebly compatible. There you go. So that's 99 cents and $5 shipping. So this is exactly what I used. Osmo Action, strapped it on my head with my hat backwards, went jet skiing. Footage was absolutely fire. I can't wait to share it with you someday. I've been trying to catch up. Snowboarding, different things. There's other mounts, but... So it's gonna be an action
camera of some kind. It's either gonna be Osmo
Action or GoPro7 or 8 would be my newest recommendations. All right, Kkorsenal,
"Camera with 100 millimeter "zoom and/or slow motion under 1K." Okay, a 100 millimeter zoom, well easy. Is it that easy? Hmm, G7X? Think it goes to 100 millimeter. It's under 1K and the G7X Mark II does not have slow motion. It has 60 frames a second. But let's look at this real quick. What's the zoom range? Why is it not telling us? Overview specs. So it's 24-100, right? So the G7X Mark III does have slow motion. What you're gonna be better off with would be Sony RX100. We're in a tight spot with your budget. Because if we go Sony RX100,
the new expensive one, the VII, we're gonna be dealing with a sweet focal length of a lot. Is that what it is? It's like in some weird measurement and then it's like the equivalent of it. Why is this the most zoomed in? Okay. So what we got over here is an equivalent focal length of 24-200 millimeters, and slow motion on this is fire, is crazy. So that if we go Sony RX100 VI, how much is that guy? 'Cause the V, then, is not as much. So the VI is 1,000 bucks? I found it for ya. Here it is. 24-200, $1,000. And if we dig into these specs, we got a website that's loading. Close window, close window, close window, close window, close window, close window, close window, close window, oh my gosh. Refresh, maybe it's
because of notifications. Just curious here. This is kind of fun, let's look at this. We've got video formats. This how you figure this stuff out. We're on the spec sheet of the website. And NTSC movie recording modes. Dear god, like trying to read this. What are you even saying? So 4K, you know. So we got 100p, 4K, 25p (wails) I don't know, it's a lot. I think it's got that
high frame rate mode. It goes crazy slow-motion. So that's what I would
definitely recommend. I would say the V is a better
all around for vlogging, but I don't think it actually goes all the way up to that focal distance. I think it goes actually
much shorter, like 24-70. So yeah, I like this guy right here. There's a new A version. That's like a whole nother interesting... What? This is a great deal. $400? This is amazing! I mean it's used, but this is a great, this is a crazy deal. Is this in stock? What are we talking about? In stock and ready to ship. Maybe it comes with no warranty? But it's a miracle camera, it's true! So yeah, I got this
one sitting on my desk. It's a great vlogging camera. If this really is an RX100
V, which it says it is, that is shockingly good. You may have been
hanging out at this point in the livestream just
to find that you could get a used Cyber-shot
off of Adorama for $400 and just take it to the bank. I'll show you one of my
other sites that I like, if you go Sony RX100, because I'm trying to just get some clearer information. Just imaging resource,
it summarizes things for you a little bit better. Here you go. So that camera for 400 bucks, oh man, it's not even the good one. Come on, man. Exposure samples, field test, overview. Here we go, this is the one I want. All right. 20 megapixels, one inch sensor. So it's 24-70. So it doesn't go to 100 as you wanted. But it starts at 1.8 and
you could get it for $400. I mean look, it's like $800, $900. Used, obviously been used,
but what a killer little guy. Got the full flip screen. And you got 4K on there
so you can see the hinge and it's this guy right over here. All right. Got a couple other questions for you, a few other deals. This is the Sony 100X. Thanks for still being here. As I fade. ThinkGearGuide.com Links in the description to everything we talked about. Think merch to help you think different at ThinkMediaMerch.com. Thanks so much for being here. I really do appreciate you. and I appreciate you being
a part of our community and third party productions. Thanks for reading YouTube secrets. Appreciate that. And Kiren, I'm talking
about the Sony RX100 V, is the camera I've been talking about, is this guy right here. It's a little point shoot camera that's kind of like the G7X, but it's gonna shoot more 4K and better slow motion, and that's what we were talking. You can go to the VI, but
you start having trade-offs. There's a built-in ND filter, so check out the replay
for some details on that. And if you're willing to go used and see what those details are, that was a pretty killer deal on Adorama. So a few things. "Is there a difference
between the image quality "of the M50 and the M200?" No, there is not. There's different feature sets. I like the M50 better. Fig Tree Mom, "What
microphone is good for M50? "Is the Canon in camera mic good enough "for outdoor vlogging?" I mean, it's good enough but you definitely want an external mic and I would say that, for the M50, here's what I'd recommend. Actually I've been testing it lately. I like it and it's super cheap. Boya BY-MM1, we got you. 30 bucks, bam. Why does it, I don't even know why it would have low stars. I like to read here. Plastic shot mount broke
almost immediately. Yeah, actually mine did too. So the key is don't... I taped it. The mic is really good though. You gotta be very careful. Once you get the mic in there it's like totally fine. It's 'cause you push the mic so hard to get it in there. I'm like, you know what? You get what you pay for. The Rode, if you want to
go with more brand name, then just go Rode video micro and wow. Good deals! And that's the Boya one. So, 60 bucks. You're not gonna have issues as much. By the way, this what
you want for outdoors. Looks ridiculous, right? But that takes out that wind. But the Boya has that as well. So you can do the Boya, just don't push it as hard as I did when you were mounting it to break the plastic mount. And then, too, got the
wind muff and what-not. So definitely recommend Rode for that. Rodney, "Any deals on your video courses?" Yes, actually. We have a Black Friday deal on our YouTube Hyper Growth BluePrint program. It's at youtubehypergrowth.com. There's a Black Friday
discount over there, and a couple other bonuses. We actually have not just the main course of YouTube Hyper Growth, but
also my thumbnail training. My YouTube live behind the scenes training of how I set these
things up and things I do to help rank them in search. And actually, our Grow
With Video Live sessions. All of the sessions from
Grow With Video Live 2019. So that's at youtubehypergrowth.com. I think Heather can post that if you want to check that out. It's a big discount. It's still definitely an investment, but we believe that the
best investment you can make is in your education, your learning, with everything I've
learned about YouTube. I compare it to community college. It's not even the price of one class at a community college,
and the amount of learning, and the amount of training
that you would get on that program. So that's at youtubehypergrowth.com and I'm very excited. You will get the recordings
from Grow with Video Live which is our course, our conference that we do
every year in Las Vegas. This next year Grow With Video Live 2020 is happening in September. It's gonna be over two and a half days. So we'll have details
coming out about that. But if you want all the training from Omar on video podcasting, everything Heather did helping you with confidence on camera as well as strategies on YouTube, my latest strategies. We had some guest speakers
of some business owners and how they're building video and doing their thing. So there's all those recordings. Plus the YouTube Hyper Growth
BluePrint program itself. That is brand new and updated for 2020. It's all like the new
stuff with the algorithm, the new stuff with YouTube studio beta, the new stuff with all of those things. All of that is that, we'll
post a link in the chat, but youtubehypergrowth.com. YouTubeHyperGrowth.com. Where did I go with it? Check that out. Gear Guide, if you want
to check that out as well. Just want to see. Youtubehypergrowth.com. Is that the URL? It is, and that's gonna be lasting for just a limited time,
and so check that out. Oh, and we do have a limited number of fast-acting bonus. On my most advanced
affiliate marketing training, step-by-step guide to affiliate marketing. And we're doing stuff
right now, of course, with affiliate marketing and it helps us with the links to cameras and stuff. That has been big for us. But the thing that's been even bigger is not cameras. It's stuff like this, for example. If you come over here and you go best greens powder on YouTube. So you could do stuff
in the healthcare niche. I'll even show you another one. This is a good example. This is a product, Green Juice, and I'm into lifestyle and bio hacking and all this kind of stuff. I learned about this from a friend. And when I link to this as an affiliate, Lewis Howes actually recommended this Organifi stuff to me, so I tried it out. When people use this affiliate link, I get 30% commissions. When I recommend a camera, I get one or two or two and a half commissions. A huge blessing, but hard to make a lot of site income doing that, unless you've got big numbers. But this is 30% on commissions on the health supplement, on the green powder
that you mix with water to stay healthy when you're traveling. So this video has now ranked in search, which we talk about in
YouTube Hyper Growth, it's still getting four views an hour. So four people watch this every hour, even though this video came out, hmm, I don't know, when did it come out? May 2016, so three, four years ago. So every hour four people watch it. And then if people say
that sounds interesting and they order the product,
I get 30% on the sale. But I also get continuity. What's that mean? That means if they say this is really good and I want it every single month, I get my cut, affiliate-wise, every single month forever. So this video has made around
$1,000 in YouTube AdSense. Which is a huge blessing, but it took four years to do that. You're not gonna make, you're not gonna be able to pay your bills, that's only $250 a year over four years. It's still great, though. So you add that up, but
it's made around $9,000 in the affiliate commission alone over that time from 30% and continuity on the actual Organifi products. See what I'm saying? So if you're interested in that, I go into that at a high level in this Affiliate Marketing Guide. Not only that, I go
into even higher ticket affiliate marketing stuff than that, where there are some deals
where if you start doing, you could get 50% commissions or higher, and depending on what you're promoting. So whether you want to do stuff, this one's crazy to me, too. Best Christmas LED lights. So laser lights. Three years ago I was talking about these Christmas lights. And we talked all about this. Looking at trends, how to opt... This video's getting 34.5 views an hour. It came out same year, November 2016. So I guess this is
exactly three years ago, right around this time. And every single year now, this video... You see all these ranking keywords with vidIQ over here? By the way, vidIQ actually as well, if you ever were thinking
about investing in it, now is the time to get it. Go to vidIQ.com/think. You can actually get a trial, but they've got, I don't know what it is, they've got the Black Friday sale. So we'll throw you that link too, if you've been on the fence about getting the boost version, which we use to figure out
at an even higher level. To be clear, the free
version, you need that. vidIQ.com/think. Great thing to start, but if you're ready to take your YouTube
channel to another level, that's the software we use for thinking about what time of day to post, for doing the keyword research tool. I just did, the night before Thanksgiving, about three hours of
keyword research and prep for a shoot next week, and I used the vidIQ keyword tool the whole time. And Ubersuggest. So I'll show you that one as well too. That one's free. Hey, long off camera tips, but Ubersuggest totally free, very cool. You might go with something
like Christmas LED lights, and you can start seeing
a lot of advanced stuff. With keywords everywhere now costing money and being different, of
course, than even vidIQ, you can see how many people
are looking for these. 27,000 are looking for
Christmas LED lights. And then it's gonna start recommending even like page titles. So play around with Ubersuggest. Really good tool. But what I use vidIQ for is
their YouTube search volume. Because it's not google search volume. So I might be over here looking for Christmas LED lights. And I think that in the free version they show you the first couple lines. Maybe five lines, maybe you don't even get this page, I forget. But then you could do and see that okay, 11,000 people searched
for LED Christmas lights a month and then know that maybe that's the keyword you
want to build off of. So then you could go
deeper on that keyword, see the other keywords around it that are recommended. So anyways, even having the tools, if you don't understand the strategies and mindset and all that stuff, that's what that's all about. So that's at youtubehypergrowth.com. Oh yeah, that Christmas LED light video, that made three grand the first year. Because it was just so
trending it went to Amazon. And then every year it's
made less since then. Maybe a couple thousand
dollars a year since then. But then the third level
of that affiliate training, is all about higher ticket stuff I've done to generate even over
six figures in a year. And so that's, you don't
have to own a product, "Make Money With No Product "A Step-By-Step Guide
to Affiliate Marketing." Anyways we wanted to put
together a crazy bundle for kind of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Lasts throughout the weekend,
and so check that out. Pierre, "What's the cheapest camera "that can shoot 120 frames?" I'm not sure. Well, I actually am sure. It's an action camera. Yi Action Camera. There's cheaper ones. Sometimes the image looks bad, but GoPro, GoPro does 120 frames. Yi does, even the
lower-end Yis probably do. The Yi 4K, I love this camera. So look at this. Back when it came out, said it was $250. My gosh, yeah right. We don't gotta pay that much. I wonder if it's on sale. So this one will shoot 120 frames. I think it'll shoot 240 frames. So yeah, if you want
some good slow motion, you have to otherwise get into a6400s and stuff to have it really be worthwhile. But if we go Yi 4K over here... Wow, is this for sale again? Fire, oh wait. This is pretty good. Yeah, this is a nice
selfie stick, I like that. You get an extra $35 off coupon right now if you click right there. Pretty good deal on this. But you can skip past that, go straight to the camera itself, $130? So a lot of these will shoot, I just don't, if I haven't tested 'em, I stay away from some
of these action cameras. Because just because it says the specs, doesn't mean that it'll look great. You can actually find out. Everyone advertises what sensor they use and things like that. So, all right. Revolution Fitness, "I want something that "will shoot 4K with clean HDMI out "with auto focus. "It's still enabled." Okay, yeah, we hit that
one a little bit earlier, so catch the replay. And then Logan, "Getting our first camera. "I wanna be filming YouTube videos. "Also needs a mic input,
changeable lenses, "and something that
will still be all right "in years to come." M50, man, I think it's great. If it needs a mic input, changing lenses, and will be all right,
90D would be a newer one. Or mic input, changeable lenses, and years to come, a6100. Right now the competitor
to the M50 on the Sony side is not the a6400, it's actually the a6100. So consider checking that out. $640 is the price. Flip screen, now you have no lens, but you do have the selfie screen and it's gonna be better 4K than the M50. It's gonna be actually real
4K that's pretty usable and not super cropped in. So you got the eye focus, you got all kinds of cool things. Great for photos, full pixel. So full pixel readout, no pixel binning, meaning it's not like
downprocess 4K or anything. So the thing is, and you start thinking about the weaknesses. Great camera, the fact that the M50 with the kit lens costs $50 cheaper. But if you want a future-proof, then a6100 a little more affordable. And then it gets tough,
'cause you're like, "Well, why don't I just go to the 6400? "Or why don't I go to the 6600 if I can "save even more money?" But for like bang for
buck, dollar for dollar, camera for camera, I lean to the M50 because it's more friendly to use. I want the screen to flip to the side. I think that, again, if your final output is gonna be 1080p, then the M50 is what I would check out as well. So yeah, my friends, if you got value out of this training, smash like. If you had fun from hanging out. And I would love to
connect with you on social. So if you have more questions
throughout the holidays, I'm gonna be doing my best
to stay connected with you. Make sure you subscribe
to here on Think Media. Let me know if you got
value out of this training in the live chat. Check out links in the description below. Video influencers as
well, we've got new videos coming out over there. And then I'm @seancannell everywhere. Add me on LinkedIn, DM me on Instagram, if you've got questions or leave a comment on our photo over there. Hit me up with questions on Twitter. We get a lot of inbound
so I do my best, right? So that's why I'm gonna try to do more livestreams like this, where I can do a lot of questions all at once. But I am active on social
throughout the day. And hit me up on Facebook,
any of the platforms, @seancannell, rhymes with YouTube channel. I really appreciate you. Grateful that you're
part of this community. Remember the best camera to have is the camera you already do have. Use what you got to level up as you go. I mean, I feel just kind
of humbled and overwhelmed. Number one that you're here. And just grateful that
I have the privilege, and trust me, I believe
this is a privilege and an honor and there's not a day where I take it for granted, that I get to talk about tech and work from home. It's been something that I've worked for and been dreaming about for over 10 years. I've been working on
this for over 10 years. And my passion is to help you
shorten your learning curve. I remember when I took out a
loan to get my first camera to start my video production business. Well, it wasn't my first camera, because my first camera
was like a point shoot, but to get my first professional camera. It was a Canon 7d. Not 70D, 7D. Back during the DSLR
revolution in like 2009. So I went to prosper.com,
took out a crowdfunded loan, and I got a Tamron lens
and I got the camera and a Zacuto rig and I
started shooting videos for businesses and weddings. And I just dreamt about being able to get tech and review tech and be sitting surrounded by cameras and things like this that I'm doing now. And I share that because
I want to encourage you to keep going for your
dreams, and to keep working. And that great things take time and overnight success is never overnight. So put the work in and keep hustling with whatever you have. Before that I had this Canon VIXIA, and I shot music videos with this. I couldn't even afford
this wide angle lens, which is this guy on
here, which was a dope, gives you a little wider shot, 'cause camcorders don't
really have wider shots. I remember messing with the hot shoe, 'cause I was like, I can't put a frickin' Rode mic on here. So I was like bending it and
like jacking my camera up because I just didn't know. There's was no YouTube videos to help me. I would shoot with this, and we used it to build a channel called Think International, and we'd shoot interviews and we'd shoot all kinds of different videos. So at every stage, I used whatever I had. Different laptops until they crashed and hard drives until they crashed. Then when I'd get more gear, I would level up as I went. So it's never about your resources, it's about your resourcefulness. I started with nothing and I got a loan. I'm not suggesting you
do that, by the way. It's not necessarily
good financial advice. But it's what I did, 'cause I thought I could pay that down by working waiting tables at Red Robin, that even if my business, Clear Vision Media at the time, didn't make it, I could pay that down little by little and
it wasn't a huge risk. I'm not saying I suggest you do that. I'm saying use whatever you have, get something smart,
but then put it to work. You want to use these cameras
to make money for you. You gotta, of course I'm
not a CPA, I'm not a lawyer, but you should start a
small business just because you should not be thinking as a hobbyist, you should start a business. If you've never read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" you can in the U.S. take a loss on your business for a few years. Meaning if you don't make money, and I think you have to
look this up yourself, this is not legal advice, please, you know
disclaimer, all that stuff. But it is true and I
remember reading this. And I thought, okay I need
to start a small business because then this camera
is tax deductible. And I can even combine all my finances, and even if I'm making
money somewhere else, it's tax deductible,
reducing my tax liability at the end of the year,
and I can deduct cameras, software, plugins, educational resources. Now I'm getting smart because I can invest in these tools not toys, that can help my family
and me go further faster. This gear is helping me create something. So I want to encourage
you, when you think about all this gear, whatever you have, accessorizing your smartphone, when you start YouTube,
you're not a YouTuber, you're a business owner. Like Jay-Z says, "I'm not a businessman. "I'm a business comma man." Like you're a business
woman, you are a business. So you start thinking, okay I'm investing in myself with education and cameras. And I'm building a business
and these things become smart. And now I could do affiliate marketing, or I could build and get views and do ads, make money off YouTube ads. Or I could go help small
business owners in my city. I could shoot videos for them. And now this becomes a tool that not only makes my family money, but
helps me build my side hustle while I'm freelancing for my main hustle. Because if you're watching
this, you're obviously already passionate about
video and photography. Freelance, sell your services,
level up your skills. Then use it to then
reinvest into your business, into gear, into your future. So I want to thank you for being a part of Think Media and this little storytime rant at the end here is where we're also coming from. And we wanna help you if you just like, "I just want a camera to go shoot "with the kids on vacation." But the way we think is different. That's why this is called Think Media. We think bigger, we
think outside of the box. We're passionate about
being completely ethical, but we want to pay as
little in taxes as possible. So we think about, how do I wrap a business around my lifestyle so that... You know there's five ways you could save on taxes over the holidays. This is where we're at
at the end of the stream. Sean's just like crazy. Here's how you can save on your taxes. You know that if you
travel to another city and you have a business, and you meet with a potential client and you track that, the travel there and back
can become tax-deductible. Even if you're visiting family. Now maybe not the whole trip, but the trip that's related to business. If you had a rental property and you visit the rental
property that could be. If you did any client actual work. What we'll oftentimes do is we will test cameras and go to specific places. So I've gotta go snowboarding
to test out action cameras. And I've gotta meet with
my business partner, Benji, in Seattle over the Christmas holidays. So do you see that now we're thinking, this is thinking about tax deductions, this is thinking about
how we're tying business into our whole lifestyle. And we document this stuff, and this is not legal
advice or tax advice, but we have studied this stuff at length. And we work with very smart people to do these types of things. So if you're interested in learning more about that, just stick with us. Because that's our heart
here at Think Media, is helping you think different, helping you go further faster. Helping you, yes, become
great at video and YouTube, but helping you build a
business around the whole thing. Helping you think about
your next one year, five years, and 10 years shifting your life to create more freedom, and more opportunity
for you and your family. Shifting your vision so that, even if you're in a job you hate, or that you want to transition out of, or you just wanna do
something on the side, what is the most strategic way to wrap all of that together so that it gives you more
momentum in your business, your income, your family
and things like that. So Illiterate Book Club,
"Hey, quick question. "If I get Ranking Academy 2.0, "do I get an upgrade to 3.0?" Yes, actually. So Video Ranking Academy
2.0, that's different than the special we're doing right now. Just FYI, Hyper Growth
BluePrint is different. But I have a great,
it's a brand new course we just recorded for 2020,
so you're gonna love it. But yeah, you get lifetime upgrades to Video Ranking Academy 2.0. And 3.0 is outlined and
is gonna be released probably at the end of January and a lot of what's in Hyper Growth is gonna be actually a part of 3.0. So that is a killer thing to grab as well. Yes, all right, hey appreciate you. Smash like if you got value
out of this video today. Thank you so much for being here. Hope your holidays are going good and check out links in the description for some of the things
that we talked about in summary. And hit me up on social media. Again, we'd love to stay connected if you have any further questions. Definitely hit me up on social. In the meantime, appreciate you.
