Canon 50D Live View | Auto Manual Focus Modes | 50 D DVD

[Ithinktheref0reIam12]

I have a Canon Powershot SX200 and it takes fantastic pics that end up looking professional after editing (even before). I'm thinking about upgrading, and since this is more of a hobby than a livelihood what should I upgrade to? I want a non-fuss camera that's reasonably priced and takes amazing pictures.

[londonwrightduzd]

@NikAizamKalashi i feel the difference concerning what's semi professional and professional is little today. d7000 is all we need. check out... freedslr . com remove spaces and take the chance to win a new Nikon D7000

[KJEmum]

Thank you .. a GREAT video to learn from. This is the kind of learning I like.

[sharagim1]

[timeholdsitspromise]

Hi, great video! Do you happen to know if the features in your video are also possible on the Canon Rebel T1i?

[Benjamin5050]

Im a canon man, however it might just be me but my frame of view on live view is out of line compared to the actual shot, but i frame up a shot in live view.. take it. and then its out of frame its like the picture drops down a bit.. is it just me?

[64s]

Bought Canon 50D last October, and still loving it!

[thaolidgard]

Thanks so much Michael, a year now finally i just know how to use live view. I thought that my camera wasn's got Live View. I really happy .Thanks

[Namorad]

[Crazi4Thoroughbredz]

Which canon is the best? the Rebels? or This canon 50D (next up)

[dlsiagrl]

This short video was very helpful! I'm so intimidated by this camera, I don't know where to start. I may buy your Crash Course!  Thanks so much!

[lueisadude]

please don't be bias..but what are the pros/cons of the 50D..because i'm considering of buying one.

[PhilTheBurn]

Nice one, I was wondering why I was struggling with Live View. Thanks.

[TJHOW1]

have you used the 7d, how much quicker is it compared to the 50d, is it worth £500 more?

[asyarihahaha]

I feel so dumb buying the 1000d,and not having the patience to wait.I tested it out of curiosity and I love it! STupidStupidSTupid!

[kmacdigi]

I have this camera, - since Dec. 2008, but the live view options are not listed under that menu. am I missing some sort of update?

[MichaelTheMentor]

@kmacdigi Check your Mode Dial- if you are in the Automatic Modes, you wont see it. Turn it to P, Av, Tv, or M and try again. ;)

[kmacdigi]

@MichaelTheMentor You're exactly right. it was in automatic sports mode from my son's swim meet! ha ha! I have a lot to learn. thank you so much!

[MichaelTheMentor]

@kmacdigi Glad to help- You may want to check out the DVD I have on the 50D, there is a link to it above. Very helpful. Best wishes

[AnaestheticGas]

@MichaelTheMentor Thank you I was trying to figure that out myself as well! :-)

[mbpetally]

Hi, I have had film SLR's for years and I wanted to move to DSLR's. After researching on the internet, and spending a bit of time thinking about sensor sizes, I bought the EOS 50D this week. It had the biggest sensor I could get for the money I had. It's great. No regrets, although I have a lot to re-learn.

[phildas]

cool How is the photography going?!!!

[nickomc91]

help me!!!

nikon d5000 or canon eos 50 d??? please help me!!:)

[cocorrancho]

@nickomc91 well with all I know of cameras, Im compleatly sure that eos 50 d is better than nikon d5000 for much!

Actually, there's a new model of canon which is cheaper and better.. its caller Canon t2i or canon eos 550

its really really good!

[BlankMessageTV]

cant really compare its really what u like most i enjoy canon most.. but nikons are really great their pictures come out more crisp in my opinion

[phildas]

canon EOS50D without a doubt! Else look at a Nikon D700 or something...

[NFSMWgamer]

thats actually a good question! the Nikon D5000 got a monitor that you can rotate and stuff and shoot over head of crouds. It also has the Nikon D90 sensor that has 12.0 Mega Pixels. The Canon Eos 50D has got 15 Mega Pixels but just 9 focus points. The Canos allows you to capture Full HD video. The D5000 can record "Just" HD vidoes. i hope it helped...

[LSFreeBird]

I had my mind set on a 1000D/Rebel XS until I studied more into the 50D, now I can't make up my mind whether I should go for the 1000D entry level (I'm new to DSLRs) or go for the camera that might be a step up from entry but maybe that doesn't matter? please help, Thanks.

[BlankMessageTV]

the 50d is more than just a step up dont let price fool you its a powerful camera

[mbpetally]

@LSFreeBird See my posting about the 50D - biggest sensor one can buy for the money, so I went for it. Cheers Mark

[Turk66460]

i had a Canon 40D and it was great camera. when i get some money saved next purchase is going to be a 50D for sure. My friend has nikon d40 and i didn't like it, it was not user friendly.

[bagusbali75able]

i decided to buy a camera,which one better d90 nikon or 50d canon?please give me an answer!!

[MichaelTheMentor]

Canon 50D!! :)

[RangeRover87]

I´d say the same: Canon 50D!

i had my hands on the d90. the handling is better end the picture quality is better,if you ask me. you can use ISO 1600 what still produces quite good pictures and the 50d has a faster picrate.

[handsomelok]

@bagusbali75able if you have that kind of money , go buy Canon 7d or save some money to buy canon 40d ... and use that saved money to buy lens

[newcoyote]

@bagusbali75able Canon! Nikons a total crap and waste good material that could be used to make Canons. While you're at it throw out your PC and get a Mac. Seriously it is preference. You need to decide what YOUR needs and preferences are based on research, not just asking. You won't get a straight answer. Both are superb camera makers.

[karatemomma]

This is awesome. I am so used to a point and click camera and we just got this baby. I am going to talk my hubs into getting your tutorials!

[N6600]

i know this vid is about canon but setting aside all brand bises, help me to decide... canon 50d, nikon d90, or olympus e30?

[ChioPhotography]

Definetely Canon 50D, N6600. The D90 can't be compared to it, except that it has HD video for 5 min. In everywhere else, the 50D is better. The E-30 is a good camera too, but the 50D is a better DSLR.

[N6600]

thanks bro.. everything's clearer now... i also recently got a hand-on test of a new 50d from my cousin. it works great...

[ChioPhotography]

Awesome. I have one and I guarantee you it's an awesome camera ;)

[N6600]

thank you very much man..

[jvw2941]

canon 50D. better sensor, better noise reduction, higher ISO capability, more lens options from canon. ALLL over the D90

[N6600]

yeah, thanks bro. i have decided. i'll be getting this. can't wait for it next year, as soon as i have enough money save, i'll go get this one.

[HazyStudioVideos]

i never knew my xsi had live view untill i was photographing a wedding XD i always thought you had to do it where the screen went blank while it focused.

[Oamaru4life]

hey i doubt this is the right place to ask but im thinking of getting this camera but want to know if it'll be good for taking skateboarding sequences.. like good crisp images at 6.3fps..

[kmielec84]

yes, only problem i found was following the skater and having the the best focus was hard.

[vapormercury]

thank

[c2thew]

you used a 85 mk II lens for this video right? the lens body looks different.

[instantvoid]

Don't think that's an 85mm. It's probably the 35mm f/1.4

[c2thew]

ahh i think you are right. the 85mm 1.2 would probably have a smaller dof. wow the 35mm looks pretty awesome!

[nikovirtanen]

Very useful video. Anyway is that your girlfriend?

[Linayaya]

Very well done, easy to understand. Thanks

[luisfotosevideos]

Thanks Michael...

[Graphicspittz187]

Thanx great video

[LoLiTAiMmaFReAka]

I am limited to buying only two lenses at first for my future 50d.. i have a few lenses in mind, but what exactly are your recommendations?

[jaysucks312]

is there any way to buy your videos in stores? i live in toronto :x

[MichaelTheMentor]

we ship worldwide. Thanks! Michael

[bgplotsdotcom]

Beautiful girl ;))

[stylez59]

Hi, i am very interested at buying a new DSLR, i was wondering if there might be firmware updates on canon cameras? HD video shooting is a HUGE feature to me (so i dont buy a camcorder).

since the 50D has the same processor as the 5D markII, is it technically possible to shoot videos too? i don't really want to spend 1000$ more for the 5D markII but i would since 1000$ is the actual cost of (average) HD camcorders.

[MichaelTheMentor]

You can use your 50D for video by running the video cable out to a recording device such as video camera, but that added cost would justify the 5dII.

[Flyelskeren]

wildkid911: if u use the HDMI contact on the 50d, HD tv and recording system, u´ll see that it´s well yeah, maybe a bit complicated but an inexpensive thing to do, thinking of that u allready have the other devices that u may have to use :P

I´m not a Nikon man either, and the very first DSLR u get, is the brand u get married to, so...

[wildkid911]

or you can just buy a Nikon D90 ... Which Record HD videos

[stylez59]

ew no way. it just records 720P and has no auto focus for video mode. i'm a canon guy.

[Frace91]

Great Video

I really want to buy the 50d but it's have to wait until may next year because i need the 70-200 4.0 more^^

Do you ship to germany and how expensive is it?

i would like to buy one of your dvds

[MichaelTheMentor]

Yes, we ship worldwide, it is $9.95 for first class international (or just $5 more than US shipping)

[charlierock245]

dont waste your money on the f/4.0 lens. if you're gonna buy a "grey" series lens, you might as well save to get the 2.8 series. its so much better.

[Frace91]

I know, I will upgrade to a 2.8 version later but i currently have the 75-300 usm and i am really not satisfied with this lens, and it takes like another 6 months to get the money for the 2.8 is version

[moonofsaudi]

Excellent video!

[Domwrstlr]

Excellent and intuitive video. I have just placed my order for the 50D today. I really do enjoy watching all the clips you've put up here!

[jsynnott]

Great video!
