Good Entry Level DSLR But Needs Proper Light

It's a good entry-level DSLR with good picture quality both in picture or video mode. I bought it for video production and it gives me satisfying result but the only problem is light. It properly works in daylight but night is a problem. Even if you use it with 18-55 mm lens on minimum F 3.5 you will not get the satisfying result under general standard lighting condition. And if you pull up the ISO the footage gets grainy. So you can't pull up the ISO more than 800, I will advise you to not. The same applies for photography, the only difference is you can use the built-in flash but you are not going to get desirable results except you are taking only close-up pics. So you will need additional flash for different shots. Both lens gives you different results. 55-250 mm lens has obviously more zoom range.


The camera with these kit lenses is user friendly. There is no doubt. You will get a free bag, a camera strap, an 8 gb canon memory card, battery with a charger and a USB cable. Camera is comfortable to hold and has a nice grip. It has a screen- touch LCD monitor with 360 degree rotation ability which makes my work very easy while shooting a video with different angles.


It is totally worth for the money. Just have enough extra lights.


Shutter response is very good in all conditions, I never have had a problem with that. The shortest and longest shutter speed are 1/4000 sec and 30 sec respectively.


Battery life is good. Once fully charged I shoot videos whole day on and off without any problem. If you google about the battery life, you will get 440 shots can be taken. I can't confirm this because I mostly use it in video mode. Anyway If your production rate is high you can always get an extra one.
