hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room welcome back to another one of my videos today finally got the camera out and did this video here this is going through all of my cameras that have at Jim's review room or probably most of them that is and actually explain to you why and it's gonna be a really quick rundown because if I go into each individual camera this bid is probably like an hour long but what I want to do is seriously ask you guys in the comment section below let me know what you guys think of this kind of video this absolute straight away from my reviews this is completely no narrative no script this is me talking to you guys so it's very raw it's probably a lot of hard cuts a lot of me rambling on here and see if it's something that we could do moving forward so with that being said right now as you're looking at this for those who are familiar with a channel you notice the background maybe me the quality looks a little bit different it's because I'm not using one of my uh a player cameras here I'm using a Sony a 65 hundred recording in 4k 30 frames a second being recorded out to my external monitor onto an SSD and I know I'm pointing over to this corner right here but if you guys want to see a video of that I might go into detail about that it's a little bit more technical but this is the a 6500 you guys can see the quality's not bad at all first thing I want to say if you guys are thinking of starting YouTube even into photography you don't need a nice camera I know I have all the stuff in front of me right here but when I first started YouTube I started with a Nikon d50 100 that D 50-100 did great at that time it was a good foundation I used it for about a year or so before I even committed to YouTube full-time and it serves his purpose so after I said you know what let me go full-time let me take this serious I was let me just go even darker and I eventually I painted my walls dark grey eventually sharp shot and much darker lighting I said I needed a new camera so that's when I went into this bad boy right here and I know this is older I'm sorry my phone is vibrated there again is all raw this camera is still one of my favorites if not I'm reluctant to give it away or sell it basically not given Tom so this Nikon d810 full-frame sensor paired with a 24 to 70 F 2.8 Tamron lens both of this is weather sealed both of this I can go into the rain and have peace of mind am I gonna drench it or anything like that me toss my phone back here and the color signs on this thing is probably one of my favorites here I know I got the Canon right here I'm not gonna say which model it is just yet I have another camera right here but out of everything I know the Canon I don't know almost a fanboys I wanna disrespect you guys but from my purposes this looks phenomenal where they'll be recording video or taking photos I think bring into post-production it just looks great every time at least from my type of editing my type of workflow it looks phenomenal I just want to emphasize that also the fact that it's it's just so easy to use it's economical it is a large size it's a little bit heavier than other mirrorless cameras obviously at the time when I bought this I thought this thing was a tank until I bought this this has been now looking back at it in hindsight it feels absolutely great in the hands you know any problem with this the reason why I moved on to the next camera this did not have in-body stabilization when I first started youtube a lot of it was just me and I had it on a tripod still look great don't get me wrong but eventually once I got this office and started hiring people I had other people film me and they have to hold the camera by hand with this one is gonna get shaky jittery even if you hold it as still as possible you're gonna see the image just kind of like bounce around a little bit looked a little bit unprofessional also and the biggest gripe is the auto focusing system on Nikon as much as I love every other aspect about Nikon the auto focusing system it just sucked compared to the other cameras that I have here at the office once I try to lock onto an image it does this hunting thing we're just kind of like jerks back and forth a little bit not cool at all didn't like it for that aspect so eventually I moved on to the sony a7s to this camera loved it because of the embody 5 axis in-body stabilization we can shoot handheld this thing looks great pair this with a gimbal or some kind of spam eliezer I paired it with a xun crane too I think you pronouncing a lot of people don't know how to pronounce it I don't know either but anyway that soon cranes who paired with the image stabilization embody paired with the image stabilization not on this lens but that we have another wide-angle lens here holy freak the cameras like it's on Rails perfectly smooth it goes along a linear path loved it did some commercial work with it again that worked out phenomenal the auto focusing system on here is very good much better than a Nikon but compared to my Canon Canon wins hands down the auto focusing system on canons great with the Sony it did very good but once in a while just for some reason unlock on my face and start focusing on the background or start focusing on another object it was quite weird so not perfect but much better as one be best actually on the market third thing that I loved about that sony a7s 2 besides the low-light performance I had low-light performance and the d810 as well which is phenomenal but it was the 120 frames per second slow motion basically for 2017 and this is in general my filming career I guess this was the first time where we really shot in slow motion and I tried to utilize that in a lot of the reviews in 2017 it looked amazing I loved it loved it loved it you can see some of the shots on your screen right now just buttery smooth and just kind of evokes a certain aesthetic and emotion each in each one of those clips now the negative side of this thing better life sucks I mean it is horrible that's why I recorded in 1080 even though I had a 4k camera I only recorded in 1080 of 2017 cuz I was going through batteries left and right these batteries do not last long at all now second the back of the screen I've been grateful that it tilts up like this so that women can shoot kind of low like this and kind of shoot up here and such but it was just so dim and sometimes it wasn't as accurate and when were shooting outdoors it just wasn't as accurate so once we bring it in post-production it be either too bright or too underexposed the screen itself needs tremendous amount of work so I just moved on from here I still have it I'm probably mostly gonna sell this one that v8 and man I love this camera but it is I'm not using it as much I'm using it more for photography and photos it looks great it's more of my backup camera if I need to bring it out and shoot and I know I'm I don't need the stabilization I'm gonna keep it fixed on the ground or on a tripod I usually bring up the Nikon but now since I switched to this bad boy right here this is the Canon 1dx mark - this is 4k when using shooting in 4k obviously as you guys have seen banner life is phenomenal on this thing this thing is massive look how big this thing is but look at this battery holy cow this lasts me an entire shoot if I shot this in 4k this lasts me 30 minutes maybe if that this ima have like 6 of these batteries on hand every time which is they said it does alleviate the problem but the same time just another thing that I got thinking about I love having this in here closing it up and done move on basically so anyways with the 1dx i love the skin color science my skin looks phenomenal on this thing here i still prefer the nikons but compared to the sony this blows the sony out of the water basically and obviously it's this is the top of line canon camera photography camera that is so it's not apples to apples but just in regards to workflow and such just going through what I have here the colors on the skin Canon does phenomenal 4k looks phenomenal here super sharp super clean you guys have seen couple of videos that have posted recently that's been shot on the Canon this camera is only about a month also I'm still kind of getting used to it trying to learn its pros and cons limitations nuances etc I'm shocked and this is the first time I did this when I was first using the camera I shot a image that was super dark put into Lightroom holy cow I'm able to bring out like almost a pitch-black photo bring up the brightness bring up the exposure and still have a very much very no question usable image that's how versatile that's the margin of error you can completely eff up a photo basically and still be able to use it by host production now the one advantage over from the cannon over to the Nikon I was like hey so both cameras doesn't have the image stabilization so why you know why am I not you know pumping up Nikon it's because the auto focus on here is hands-down the best probably in the world it's a touch screen in the back touch focus I tap on the object and I can move the camera around like violently and it still tracks I can tap on this my video African tap on my face and it can focus on my face and when I do like those 360 turns in my headphone reveals or narratives it lacks on my face never once doesn't drop out into the background sometimes that the Sony does it never loses focus basically in in tracking in general the only downside with this I'm not saying like this is like the Holy Grail or anything like that it doesn't have the image stabilization it's identical to the Nikon where if I hold this camera up it's gonna be shaky basically unfortunately a 120 frames per second it's only in 1080 which was a bummer to me I can bump up the sharpness we can bring it back up to par back up to at a reasonable good level but when you compare it side-by-side with a 4k image the 4k obviously just outshines at 1080 no matter what but the 4k arms are the high speed movements that's recorded by kin and I believe it's much more smoother and much more elegantly done versus even the sony a7s - I prefer the Canon over that and last the only other flaw that I could say with the Canon 1dx is its huge huge huge file size it's one of these cards right here and I basically blow this car like it's like it's nothing basically so about a minute recording time in 4k is about 4 gigs I believe on the memory card so you can imagine it just chomps through this thing like like it's nothing basically so with that being said oh and the last thing and I have no idea why as you guys see this is the a 6,500 recording me right now recording to an external monitor there's 4k output onto my monitor for some reason this top-of-the-line and best of the best can in photography camera only outputs 1080 not 4k so I can't do I can't have the advantage of external recording onto this monitor and recording 4k so everything I have to if I want to retain 4k after recorded to the CF card which it's not a really big deal the memory cards are extremely expensive one of these memory cards this 128 gigabyte memory card is like 350 bucks I believe versus one of the original C if cars this was like a hundred bucks so one hundred and ten dollars on being a chore so I can't remember off my head but you can see the price difference so those are not only gripes again I'm still new at the Canon so far I do see the pros and cons behind it it might be a better camera in general overall workflow I don't know for the time being this is gonna be it into the next camera am I gonna get a red I'll be honest with you I don't think so I'm not doing any kind of high-end production company videography and such so I don't think I'm gonna get anything even more expensive than this I don't think we'll see let's see the only reason why I would buy another camera is if it increased my workflow and just made everything simpler not harder I don't care if it makes the image that much better I think the images already looks pretty darn good if anything it's more on me I'm being a better colorist color grater and just post production management and efficiency so yeah that's it for this video guys hope you guys enjoyed it let me know in the comment section below if you guys want to see more of this again I'm Jimmy o'james review room you guys take care I'll see you guys in the next one you
