So then, how good is the Canon EOS Rebel T6i for shooting video? Spoiler alert... Good. In fact, very good. I had the opportunity recently to take the T6i for a test shoot, and came away impressed with Canon's budget DSLR shooter. I've been shooting for Stark Insider with a Canon 70D...

Sony is on a roll. Canon? Nikon? When it comes to innovation in cameras -- stills, videos, full frame sensors... you name it -- Sony seems to be leading the pack. Case in point: this new compact Sony RX100 IV shooter. Looks can be deceiving. This is not a simple point-and-shoot camera....
