550D + Canon 50mm f1.8 Lens

Test using the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens although for this it was set at f2.8.
This lens is a must...it is fantastic for the price and has made my shots a lot less grainy. For most of this video I was working at ISO 100, thanks to the lens.
Excuse my shaky hands!

Does adding a lens make the camera quality better?

[PeterWilliam10]

@MrSoggypancakez If you use a lens with a wider aperture, it lets in more light so you can use a lower ISO so there is less unwanted noise on your movies, and different lenses allow for different amounts of depth of field.

Amazing, just amazing.

What music is this?

[PeterWilliam10]

@AldossariEOS Thanks..Dietro Casa by Ludovico Einaudi

@SBSlongboarding Yes. The sort of heavily pixelated or grainy images are called 'noisy'.

@SuperMangn Both the 550D and the 7D have a APS-C size sensor, 1,6x , so 50mm = 80mm, 35mm = 56mm

@PeterWilliam10 does noise mean grainyness? because when i set my camera to iso 1600 i notice sort of a pixelated 'noise' like quality when shooting videos

@hillstudios haha thanks for the response, I myself am a proud owner of a t2i (: I plan on getting this lens soon !

[hillstudios]

@MrSoggypancakez Yes, Imagine the lens as your eye, and the sensor as your brain, yes you may have an awesome brain, but with shitty eyes, not even the smartest person can see. Better lenses ( like L series lenses) will result in sharper, clearer images

I've got the tamron f2.8 50mm vc do you think I still need this lens for low light shots?

[TheZAmiester]

i liked the shaky hands :) this was awesome filming! :p

[santygugu]

the video is great ... I have the same camera with the same lens ... really need to record good videos ... in my channel I have a test with the 550D and the 50mm 1.8. a greeting from Spain, very good video

[740tic90]

can you choose the aperture and iso when recording film at 550d? because on the 500d you can't :( nice shooting, I will buy that kinda lens when I can afford it, first of all I'm going to buy a fisheye:)
