πŸ’‘Canon EOS R10

The Canon EOS R10 is another camera model discussed in the script, priced just under $1000. It is also a 24-megapixel APS-C camera but has additional features that differentiate it from the R50, such as the ability to shoot 4K at 60 frames per second and a more professional body design. The R10 is positioned as a potential upgrade over the R50, depending on the user's needs.

πŸ’‘24-megapixel APS-C cameras

This term refers to the type of camera sensors used in both the Canon EOS R50 and R10. APS-C sensors are known for their balance between size, cost, and image quality. The script emphasizes that despite their budget-friendly prices, these cameras are capable of professional-level image capture, which is a key point in the video's comparison.

πŸ’‘4K footage

4K footage refers to video that has a resolution of approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, which is four times the resolution of standard 1080p HD video. The script mentions that both cameras can shoot 4K footage at 24 and 30 frames per second, which is significant for videographers looking for high-quality video capture.

πŸ’‘60 frames per second

60 frames per second (fps) is a frame rate used in video recording that provides smoother motion than the standard 24 or 30 fps. The script highlights that the R10 can shoot 4K at 60 fps, which is beneficial for capturing slow-motion footage, whereas the R50 can only achieve this frame rate in 1080p mode.

πŸ’‘Record limit

The record limit refers to the maximum duration a camera can record video continuously before needing to stop. The script points out that the R50 has a one-hour record limit, while the R10 has a two-hour limit, which is an important consideration for those needing to capture longer, uninterrupted footage.

πŸ’‘Professional body

A 'professional body' in the context of cameras typically refers to a design that includes features favored by professional photographers, such as better ergonomics, more controls, and a sturdier build. The script notes that the R10 has a more professional body than the R50, offering better grip, twin dials, more buttons, and a joystick.

πŸ’‘Burst rate

Burst rate is the number of photos a camera can take in a single burst, usually measured in frames per second. The script mentions that the R10 has a faster burst rate than the R50, which is crucial for capturing fast-moving subjects in photography.

πŸ’‘Buffer speed

Buffer speed refers to how quickly a camera can process and store images during a burst of photos. A faster buffer speed allows for more continuous shots before the camera slows down or stops to process the images. The script implies that the R10 has a faster buffer speed, making it better suited for high-action photography.

πŸ’‘Electronic shutter

An electronic shutter is a type of shutter mechanism in a camera that uses electronics to control the exposure time instead of a mechanical mechanism. The script notes that the R50 only offers an electronic shutter, while the R10 provides both electronic and mechanical shutter options, which can be important for photographers needing the reliability and speed of a mechanical shutter.

πŸ’‘Full frame camera

A full frame camera has a sensor that is equivalent in size to a frame of 35mm film, which is larger than an APS-C sensor. The script suggests that for those with a higher budget, a full frame camera could be an option, offering potentially better image quality and low-light performance. This is mentioned as an alternative to the APS-C cameras being compared.

play00:00

so on the one hand we have the Canon EOS

play00:02

R50 for about 700 bucks and on the other

play00:05

hand we got the Canon EOS r10 for just

play00:08

under a thousand bucks so what are the

play00:10

real differences between these two

play00:12

cameras and is the Canon r10 worth the

play00:14

extra 300 bucks or not let's find out so

play00:18

let me start out by saying that both of

play00:20

these cameras are most definitely

play00:22

amazing for the price they're both 24

play00:24

megapixel aps-c cameras that have most

play00:27

things in common but they also have five

play00:30

major differences that are going to be

play00:32

the main factors to consider when

play00:34

choosing between the two and by the end

play00:36

of this video You're Gonna know exactly

play00:38

if you should go with the r10 or save

play00:40

300 bucks and go with the R50 instead

play00:43

now don't let the budget price of these

play00:45

cameras deceive you because they're both

play00:47

capable of giving you professional

play00:49

results both for photography and

play00:52

videography and after I help you decide

play00:54

which of these two cameras are going to

play00:56

be the better fit for you I have plenty

play00:58

of videos that you could watch that are

play00:59

going to teach you the skills that

play01:01

you're going to need to get the most out

play01:02

of your new camera now me personally I'm

play01:05

doing mostly video these days and find

play01:07

myself doing less photography than I

play01:09

used to so let's start with the

play01:11

differences and video capabilities first

play01:13

both cameras can shoot 4K footage up to

play01:16

30 frames per second and the most common

play01:19

frame rate in which most videos are shot

play01:21

in is 24 frames per second and for the

play01:24

most part most people agree that it

play01:26

looks the most cinematic but you do have

play01:29

a small percentage of videographers that

play01:31

prefer to shoot and 30 frames per second

play01:33

but not to worry because both cameras

play01:35

can give you 4K 24 and 4K 30 so no real

play01:39

differences there however if you want to

play01:42

shoot footage that's intended to be used

play01:44

as slow motion then you're gonna have to

play01:46

shoot at 60 frames per second and that's

play01:48

where our first major difference lies

play01:50

the r10 can shoot 4K 60 frames per

play01:53

second whereas the R50 can only shoot 60

play01:57

frames per second in 1080 mode and what

play01:59

that means is that the slow motion from

play02:01

the r10 is going to be sharper than the

play02:04

slow motion from the R50 but keep in

play02:06

mind that when you switch the Canon r10

play02:08

to 4K 60 you're going to get an

play02:11

additional crop of about 50 percent

play02:13

which means that the camera is going to

play02:15

automatically zoom in a bit also the 4K

play02:18

60 frames per second coming out of the

play02:20

r10 is going to be slightly lower

play02:22

quality than the 4K 24 and the 4K 30.

play02:26

but at least it gives you the option to

play02:28

shoot slow motion in 4k whereas the R50

play02:31

only allows you to shoot slow motion in

play02:33

1080. so to sum that up the r10 is going

play02:36

to give you slightly better slow motion

play02:38

than the R50 the next major difference

play02:40

between the video capabilities of these

play02:43

two cameras is that the R50 has a one

play02:46

hour record limit all this means is that

play02:48

when you record for one hour

play02:49

consecutively the camera is going to

play02:51

stop recording and you're going to have

play02:53

to get up go over to the camera and hit

play02:55

the record button again this isn't

play02:57

really a big deal in most scenarios

play02:59

because most people are going to shoot

play03:01

short clips and piece everything

play03:02

together in the edit however if you need

play03:05

to shoot long uninterrupted takes for

play03:07

things like sporting events or podcasts

play03:10

this may be a deal breaker there are 10

play03:13

on the other hand gives you a two hour

play03:15

record limit which is going to be plenty

play03:17

for most people but there is a caveat to

play03:20

that when I tested my r10 I was able to

play03:22

get two hours out of it shooting in 4k

play03:25

fine mode at 24 frames per second but

play03:28

I've heard from other people that their

play03:30

camera stopped recording right after

play03:32

about an hour due to overheating now

play03:34

they may have been shooting in a

play03:35

different frame rate or in a hotter

play03:37

climate but in my tests I was able to

play03:40

get the full two hours out of it so to

play03:42

sum that up technically speaking you

play03:45

should be able to get two hours of

play03:46

continuous recording out of the r10

play03:49

versus the one hour record limit on the

play03:52

R50 the next major difference between

play03:54

the Canon r10 and the R50 is that the

play03:57

r10 has a more professional body the art

play03:59

10 body is just slightly larger which

play04:02

makes the grip feel better in your hands

play04:04

the difference in weight is only seven

play04:06

grams so both cameras are very

play04:08

lightweight but for that additional

play04:10

seven grams the r10 is giving you twin

play04:13

dials a lot more buttons a joystick to

play04:16

help you focus as well as a dedicated

play04:19

button to switch between manual and

play04:21

autofocus the R50 is intended to be used

play04:24

primarily through the touch screen

play04:26

whereas the r10 can be used through the

play04:28

touchscreen but also has many of the

play04:30

dials and the knobs that you find in

play04:32

more higher end professional cameras

play04:34

this isn't a big deal for video Shooters

play04:36

but it's a pretty big Advantage when it

play04:39

comes to photography speaking of

play04:41

Photography that's where I think the r10

play04:43

really starts to outshine the Canon R50

play04:45

not only due to its body design but

play04:48

mainly due to its faster burst rate and

play04:51

faster buffer speed the r10 can give you

play04:53

23 photos per second an electronic

play04:56

shutter mode while the R50 only gives

play04:58

you 15 shots per second the r10 also has

play05:01

a mechanical shutter option while the

play05:03

R50 only offers you electronic shutter

play05:06

and what that means for you is that the

play05:08

r10 is going to be a better photography

play05:10

camera especially in scenarios where you

play05:12

need to shoot fast moving subjects like

play05:15

high Action Sports now whether you

play05:17

intend to do photography or videography

play05:19

to get the most out of your camera

play05:21

you're going to want to color grade your

play05:23

footage and edit your photos and this is

play05:26

really going to give your images that

play05:27

extra pop but the downside is that you

play05:30

can spend hours tweaking the colors to

play05:32

get the look that you want which is why

play05:34

I put together my filmic love pack and

play05:36

Lightroom profile pack which you can

play05:39

download for only 15 bucks off of my

play05:41

website and if you're new to cameras and

play05:43

you feel overwhelmed by all the

play05:45

technical terms in the jargon feel free

play05:47

to leave me any questions you might have

play05:49

down in the comments section also let me

play05:51

know your thoughts are you leaning more

play05:53

towards the r10 or the R50 as far as I'm

play05:56

concerned I'd save the 300 bucks and

play05:59

just go for the R50 unless I was

play06:02

planning on primarily using the camera

play06:04

for photography or if I needed to shoot

play06:07

videos that have to be longer than an

play06:09

hour I left links to both cameras in the

play06:11

description below as well as links to

play06:13

other gear that I found to be valuable

play06:15

now keep in mind that both the R50 and

play06:18

the r10 are aps-c cameras and if you can

play06:22

stretch your budget to about 1500 bucks

play06:24

you could go with a full frame camera

play06:26

instead and if you're not familiar with

play06:28

the differences between full frame and

play06:31

aps-c then I highly suggest you watch

play06:34

this video next where I explain the

play06:36

differences in simple language make sure

play06:39

to smash that like button and also

play06:41

subscribe to the channel so you don't

play06:42

miss future videos I appreciate you

play06:45

watching to the end and I'll see you in

play06:46

the next one it's full and creative and

play06:48

I'm out peace
