Is Canon 800d suitable for video shooting?

Canon 800d can shoot video, but it is not the most suitable choice.

800d can meet the basic video shooting needs. 800d is Canon's entry-level SLR camera. This camera has the capability of shooting video, and has the following basic video creation indicators:

1, 1080 HD resolution video. Can shoot to meet the creative needs of online videos and general family commemorative videos.

2. Full-pixel dual-core autofocus and video focus tracking function. When shooting video, matching stm lens can achieve relatively quiet, soft and accurate video focusing and continuous focusing.

3. Flip the touch screen. This kind of screen is more suitable for shooting video, which can be flipped to achieve different angles of view, and can also be touched and focused, making the operation more convenient.

These parameters can meet the needs of ordinary video shooting. If you demand high video quality, it's not enough.

The shortcomings of 800d used to shoot videos are also obvious. After all, the 800d is just an entry-level SLR, mainly taking pictures. As for shooting video, the disadvantages are obvious:

1, SLR model is not the best choice for shooting video. Because the SLR camera has an optical framing system, this system is completely designed for taking pictures, which is not only useless when shooting videos, but also has side effects. In the process of shooting, the reflector will remain convex, which consumes more power and is not suitable for video creation in video anti-shake and body control.

2. The endurance is limited. As an entry-level SLR camera, the battery specifications of the 800d are relatively low, which can still meet the basic needs for photography. But if it is used to shoot videos, especially for a long time, the battery is a big short board.

3, the fuselage heating problem. If the SLR camera takes a long time to shoot video, it will have overheating protection, which will interrupt shooting. This is more obvious in entry-level SLR cameras. Some high-end models have good heat dissipation performance, and the probability of automatic interruption of shooting is relatively low. However, a machine like the 800d is likely to have overheating protection frequently, which will interrupt your shooting.

4. The video quality is average. Aside from 800d-D video, the resolution can only reach 1080, and it is impossible to shoot 4 k. Needless to say, it is obviously different from the video-oriented mode in terms of video bit rate, color sampling and format. It is certain that there is no oversampling. 4:2:0 can only meet the basic shooting needs of achromatic color, and the backward coding format leads to small size but relatively average quality.

At present, there are many devices for shooting videos, and SLR cameras are not the best choice. But if you only have an 800d-D camera to shoot simple video creation, that's no problem at all, and you don't always have to think about changing the machine, because the fundamental factor of video quality is your content, planning and process, not the equipment. And if you don't have a machine at hand and want to choose an entry-level device to shoot video, you can look at the mirrorless camera, and some non-inverting micro-sheets are more suitable for shooting video. Such as a6400, gh5, etc.

This camera has video function, so it can be used to shoot video if the requirements are not high. However, the video shooting index of the camera is not so high, but general shooting is still possible. The highest shooting index of this camera is full HD 1920* 1080p 60p format. At present, better cameras can shoot 4k video. The video index of this camera is very low. Fortunately, the CMOS of the camera is larger than the general camera, so the shooting effect is generally better than the commonly used video recorder.

This camera has little advantage if it is generally shooting high-definition video. Because the machine must be equipped with a lens, and the lens is not a small expense. So the advantages of this kind of SLR video are not so obvious. On the contrary, some 1 inch card machines should have greater advantages in shooting videos. First of all, some card machines are equipped with good high-resolution lenses with large zoom range. Because coms is 1 inch, it can also achieve better background blur effect than video recorder. So to sum up, if you shoot video in 800d for low price, you might as well buy a high-end 1 inch card machine. The size of the card machine with large zoom ratio is similar to that of d800. But with a matching lens. It is more reasonable to buy a camera if you specialize in video.
