The Canon EOS 800D is a full-format digital camera designed for amateurs who want professional results in an easy-to-use and highly upgradeable design. Its advanced APS-C CMOS Sensor and patented DIGIC 7 Image Processor capture 24.2mp images for crisp, detailed shallow-focus images that can compete with some professional cameras.
It’s a slightly bulkier camera than some in its class, though still fairly lightweight at 2.4 lbs and should be comfortable to use for most. When you combine its extremely high-quality still images with its 1080p, 60fps video capture ability, WiFi and mobile app connectivity, very fast 6fps shutter for action shots, and highly modular, very upgradable design, you have a terrific value for a great all-around starter camera than grow with the skill of the photographer, as well as the best budget DSLR for video. It’s a wonderful beginner model for anyone looking for the best digital camera for filmmaking.
The Nikon 1633B Z50 DX uses the slightly smaller than full-format DX format and captures 20.9mp images. Its mirrorless design gives it the extremely light weight of 1.17 lb, allowing for comfortable use over long shoots, and its ability to shoot 4k, 60fps video makes it great for shooting sports and outdoor events. Advanced, modern features like 8x optical zoom, and 209-Point Hybrid Autofocus 20 with facial recognition software are balanced by an intuitive, easy-to-use design that allows beginners to shoot great footage with a low learning curve.
