Better than 250D?

Hi there, i need help. I have Canon 250D and I make wedding clips. Everything is OK with good f and stabilize lenses. But in the evening, when I need filming on higher iso (usually f/2.8 , iso 3600) my videos are very bad. I am thinking about upgrade, but not too expensive. Do you think it helps when I upgrade to R10 ? Or I need something better?

Matys0409,

In what sense are they "very bad"?

I agree with Steve; I can't really comment until I know what makes them "really bad".

For photos anyway, looking at DPR's studio scene comparison tool the amount of noise looks equally bad on the R10 (I presume you do mean the Canon EOS R10) as the 250D at top settings in RAW, though the R10 does go a step further, to ISO 32000.

The image is very "grainy". At ISO/1600 it is still usable but at 3200 or higher it's terrible. So i need some body which works better in low light situations. I know that expensive fullframes for example Sony work so much better in this situations. But I need som cheaper choice which work with APSC Canon lenses. :/

I don't really know anything about ISO is relation to video, but the more modern the sensor the better in that sense.

Matys0409,

I read several reviews that said that the 250D (or SL3) is good "within its native ISO range". which seemed to suggest up to 3200. They said that ISO 6400 and up is terrible, especially with its kit lens.

When you shoot video, what aperture do you usually use? A wider aperture like f/5.6 would allow you to use slower shutter speeds and lower ISO speeds in dim lighting.

If you do want to upgrade, a lot of your decision is going to depend on how much money you have to spend. What kind of budget do you have?

A Canon R10 is going to cost about $1,000 (body only). You'll need an adapter to make your Af and AF-S lenses work on it. Many people are happy with using their existing AF and AF-S lenses on their R Series mirrorless cameras with an adapter.
