 This is a very special box. Not containing a plastic horse like the rest of my channel, but containing a very special piece of equipment. Film has been a really important part of my growing up and my career. I actually chose a career in film prior to doing this whole model thing. My goal in life was to be a film person, make movies. This camera has been with me for six years. I bought this when I was in, I believe, 11th grade. It was an upgrade from a Nikon D5100 and I upgraded to this guy because it was like, at the time, state of the art, top of the line, autofocusing video type of a camera. So this is the Canon 70D. This camera has been like my child. I remember it so vividly because it was the most amount of money I had spent on any one given thing at that time in my life. It was a lot of money for me to fess up and I was so nervous about it, but it turned out to be the best piece of equipment I ever bought. This camera has filmed every video that you've seen on this YouTube channel. This camera filmed tons more YouTube videos prior to me having this YouTube channel. This took pictures at countless events, countless memories, and life moments. Studio photography, it's done it all. This thing has been with me for so long. And unfortunately recently it's been crapping out and I don't know what the issue is, but I'm assuming that it's something to do with the actual system within the camera because cameras are digital now, they're computer-based, the system glitches out. So it no longer works filming video, it no longer does photos seamlessly. It has a lot of glitchy moments now. It got to the point where it was too unpredictable and I couldn't just keep using it and have it stop recording because I tried to film a couple tutorials in the recent few months. It's like stopped recording, it'll just decide when it wants to record and then quit. And as exciting as it is to get a new camera, I just I feel so attached to this fun because it's just been so good and so solid and I hate buying new things when like old things are just so good and they work so well for so long and then they stop working and you have to get the new one and you're just not sure. Today we are unboxing the new guy that I had to order and this was like a whole process in itself. Whole man. So I ordered this from Best Buy and normally Best Buy is great. I've usually had really good experiences with Best Buy. Well Best Buy decided to be a pain in the bottom. Basically I don't know what happened but my credit card didn't go through the first time so I got an email saying your order can't be complete and like this is like me struggling with this camera trying to film tutorials and YouTube videos and crap and then having it like glitch out and then having Best Buy telling me that my credit card isn't working. So I called them and I was like what's going on and so originally yes I put the billing address incorrectly in so we changed that and it still came back couldn't be processed so I had to call them again and they were like oh it's probably your visa card so then I had to call visa and visa it was like your card is fine and so then I waited a few more days and then it said just we cancelled the order completely so then I had to call back and say I need to replace this order but I had sale prices on that specific day like that I was watching so now you have to give me that old price so long story short we figured it out the payment went through the process and this shipped in like two days so I guess I can't really complain because it's here now. Cameras hurt they are very expensive I mean they last six years but still it's hard to justify that especially because I just bought a real horse I was not expecting to buy a camera within the same month but here we are nonetheless so let us open it and see what it is like. Is it as exciting as a model person box thing? I'm not sure. It came with a lot of air pockets and shoved it right in there here we go guys is like the newest version that they have of this camera I got it back when it came out and so it was like top of the line brand new and this guy is like the most current technology so it comes with way more megapixels way more video options different controls and just like a better overall processor so it's going to be like a higher quality camera for sure my like old one is definitely updated at this point the megapixels actually are really bad on that camera so this one has a lot higher megapixels I personally am a canon fan I had a Nikon for a while Nikon I think is better for photography and stuff but I find just canon in general has a better color range and their photos pop more they have a really crisp color to them I just always really liked canon versus Nikon that's my personal preference I looked into getting like a full frame or something fancier because I just needed the body I didn't necessarily I didn't eat the kit because I have all the lenses and everything but I just decided that this was gonna be the best because I don't really need anything more advanced just having more megapixels having a slow-mo camera option would be good but pretty much what the old one was is exactly what I wanted I didn't want it to break I also got a promo where it came with an extra free battery so I'm not sure if it comes with a battery I think it does so I think I got two batteries out of the deal which is sweet I think part of the problem was this old camera I was using off-brand lithium batteries in it and I was sold these by a camera person who said they would be fine and I trusted them and I don't believe that they are fine I think that you should be using canon grade products in your canon product just because you never know and the canon battery like I found it was less glitchy when it had the canon battery in it versus when it had the other one so who knows maybe I wrecked it by using that lithium battery I'm getting rid of it needless to say I now have this one I have a new one and I have the old one because I can't really sell the camera it doesn't really work and then my boyfriend also ordered a second battery for his camera which I'm currently filming with so thanks and because I was ordering everything at once I thought why not upgrade my 50 millimeter lens at the same time I am broke so basically same thing I bought this 50 millimeter lens when I bought the camera because it was like 120 bucks um same kind of thing technology has increased advanced autofocusing has gotten a lot better since then this was six years ago this is quite some time has passed we're now in a different realm so this um new version of the lens is a lot more advanced and just a quiet autofocus so I can actually use it to film things this guy I never could because it's so noisy it takes lovely pictures it does everything perfectly I love it I just want to replace it but then otherwise like I have the kit lens works fine um I have a micro lens and I have a zoom lens so I'm like I'm set in the lens department so here we are comes with the battery pack comes with the battery comes with the strap but I hate these straps I got this strap for my birthday years ago it was like off Etsy so someone made it um and it's amazing because it feels like a scarf like it doesn't scratch on your neck so I definitely will be continuing to use that because these things suck then here's the child here it is so my first like impression my brother actually has this exact camera he got it for Christmas this year it's a little bit different there's a few things that are a little bit different on it for sure it doesn't feel as solid like I really liked the 70d it was really thick it had weight to it and I really like that feel these guys feel kind of light but when you do get a lens on it and you get some stuff going on and it definitely like wears to your hand like I've noticed that there's a lot of a lot of wear like on this camera where I hold it and I get like clay and crap all over it so we'll see it's pretty much the same like layout and function as the last one there's just a few different modes little thing has like a slot there versus a slot on the side still touch screen still swivel screen and so let's set it up let's see if we can put a battery in it check it out so I don't really know like how the generation of the lenses really works but it's so much smaller it's like half the size so this is the old guy and this is the new guy this one always felt cheap to me like it rattles a little bit too it's just not great this one's like more compact no card and camera oh weird it's so quiet the lens it's crazy oh and it takes lovely photos it's good it's like pretty much the exact same as like what I've had so like I know it's going to be good I'm just a little bummed that it broke but I am excited to start my journey with this new guy maybe I can like advance more with video creation um and having this extra megapixel is going to help with the photography aspect as well I love my cameras my cameras are really close to my heart they make me proud and I love having them and using them so it is exciting it's just kind of like an end of an era so I'm just sad to see it break like I didn't expect it to break so soon um but that being said this will be lovely I am sure and now I can continue with my tutorial creations and all of that so now all of the videos will be filmed on this camera I'll probably do some kind of a review perhaps on how it works like what it works I want to do a little bit of a photography and videography rundown as well just I was hoping that like I could upgrade and like my old one would still work so that I could have two and I could do crazy setups but it doesn't really look like that's going to be the case I don't know if it's going to work pretty cool so this has been DJB thank you so much for watching and happy filmmaking and photographing
