Making YouTube videos with the Canon EOS R and EOS M50!

British YouTuber Dave Cad has charmed the Finnish people with his sense of humor and positive attitude. In Finland he is best known for his Finland-related videos of him learning the Finnish language and trying out traditional Finnish foods. He has a strong personal bond to Finland and has recently moved to Helsinki. Dave is a skilled video editor and his videos are visually interesting.

Dave started his video blogging career from zero almost seven years ago and during those years he found his own voice and audience. Today he is one of the most popular YouTubers in Finland with 123000 subscribers, 17 million views, over 90% of his subscribers come from Finland. He is the nice guy from the neighborhood, makes videos almost every week and talks about his life and experiences in Finland. When he started his career, he did not have a camera of his own, but soon he noticed that professional video blogging needs good tools. This year he has experienced the Canon cameras for vlogging and some of his videos this year have been made in collaboration with Canon.

The must have features in a camera for video blogging according to him are:
• Image quality
• Flip out / articulating screen
• Reliable auto focus
• Microphone input
• Swappable lenses

From summer 2018 Dave has been shooting his videos with a small, mirrorless Canon EOS M50 camera and later this year, when the Canon EOS R system was launched in September, he has had an opportunity to use the full frame mirrorless Canon EOS R camera for his videos. He likes using both models, the EOS M50 is nice to use when he wants to shoot inconspicuously and the EOS R is more visible/bigger with even higher image quality. According to him, both Canon EOS R and EOS M50 are suitable for video blogging. Which one to choose, depends on youtuber’s needs and experience.

Canon EOS R is the first camera to feature the RF lens mount with a 12-pin connection, flange back distance of 20mm and a wide 54mm mount diameter enabling even greater flexibility in lens design. Through the combination of high-performance RF lenses, a 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor with approximately 30.3 million effective pixels and the DIGIC 8 image processor, the EOS R enables consistently high-quality imagery.

Canon EOS M50 is the perfect choice for confident smartphone and compact camera photographers seeking to enhance their photography capabilities. For a super-fast and responsive autofocus system, the camera’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF speed enables photographers to capture crisp, high-resolution images and Full HD videos with beautiful depth of field control for sharp subjects and soft backgrounds.
