Hey, I just got my rebel xti with a sigma lens a couple months ago and love it but always have trouble with focal points. The tip about the ftp and different modes will help in future shooting. Keep up the great reviews!

Great video. just bought this camera with the canon 18-55mm IS lens and the 50mm f/1.8 II lens. Can you explain what settings you used for the pictures you posted at the end of this video? Thanks, Rob.

Auto only lets you …
Auto only lets you shoot in JPEG, doesn’t let you shoot more than one picture at a time, and doesn’t let you change any settings.
P automatically sets F-stop and shutter speed but lets you shoot in RAW, shoot picture sequences and change other settings like ISO and WB.
A-DEP tries to find the objects in the foreground and adjust the aperture so that the foreground is in focus while the background is blurred. Supposedly used for group portraits.

Will, keep up the good work on making your videos. Listen to some of the recomendations to improve your videos and keep pressing ahead. I can tell there are a lot experts commenting and they have made a lot of good demo videos also I bet. Always good to see a young person that is interested in his hobby and willing telling to others about it. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. Keep up making videos.

you are totally wrong.

M = manual mode and you can change EVERYTHING
Av = appeture piority and you can change the f number and the camera will detect the shutter speed
Tv = shutter priority and you choose the shutter speed and the camera detcts the appeture and the rest of the settings
P = program its just like auto but you can change things and the camera will adjust

Hey man thanks for …
Hey man thanks for making these videos. Despite what everyone says about you, keep up the good work. One complaint…. Before you make the video just sit down and right down everything you want to talk about and almost everything your going to say. You say uh a lot and its understandable because your just making up what your going to say. everyone does it man. No worries. And I got some good advice from your vids.

Hush up. He sad he’s not positive. He is doing this because he wants to, not because he has to. And just like him, YOU don’t have to watch it.

You are completely …
You are completely wrong. Tv mode is extremely important if you are doing sports, and especially if you want to get those really interesting panning shots with the nice, blurred backgrounds. Also, the Rebel XTi is not a “toy camera,” and I don’t even understand why you would even call it so.

i agree with guy1193 im a 13 year old photographer, They are good videos i find them entertaining and slightly educating but i think he needs to get his fact right and have a decent script, of which he can follow to give the whole thing structure. However he needs to review something else.

I agree some people are being kind of mean to this kid but he just doesn’t yet understand that you actually have to know how to make videos, write a legitimate review of a lens, write a script for his videos, and he even has many of his facts wrong!

Markthecameraguy …
Markthecameraguy wasn’t bulleing this kid, he was opening his eyes. This just plain doesn’t know enough correct information to actually make videos on youtube. And it doesn’t take any courage to post a video on youtube or argue with someone on a comment thread.

I am also 14, but not stupid. I like to see younger people talking about things on youtube too, but only kids that know about things. This kid is telling us nothing. I was going to start making videos on youtube about cameras too, and the I went on a real site written buy a guy who actually knew something and then i stopped.
