Should you use a full-frame Canon RP or APS-C size camera for YouTube?

Part 3a - Image Stabilization ➜ (14:53min)
Part 3b - Image Color ➜ (16:32min)
Part 3c - Background Blur ➜ (17:41min)
Part 3d - Image Color ➜ (19:17min)
Part 3e - Random Footage ➜ (21:03min)
Part 3f - Dynamic Range ➜ (23:10min)
Part 4 - Summary ➜ (24:22min)
After watching this review you will know the difference between an APS-C size camera and a full-frame mirrorless.
While the Canon EOS M is considerably more affordable and compact, the bigger sensor in the Canon EOS R and RP line offers superior image quality.
However, as a beginner it may appear to be a subtle difference, that is why I included two test shoots, and you can compare by looking at the footage yourself.
Because video codecs are very important when recording video, please note that the EOS RP only supports the H.264 IPB format.
Unfortunately only the more expensive EOS R offers H.264 ALL-I and Canon C-Log formats.
My conclusion is that beginners should do well with an entry-level APS-C size camera, and once more advanced can step it up to an entry-level full-frame such as the EOS RP.
Keep in mind the filming in C-Log and Apple ProRes with an external recorder will require the more professional EOS R, and can also make your workflow a bit more complicated.
In my opinion, for a beginner, it is best to stick with a smaller APS-C or the entry-level full-frame.
If on the other hand, you know you want to do it professionally, then the EOS-R and an external recorder such as the ATOMS NINJA is the way to go.
I have been using the EOS M for years now, and even though it is not perfect it gets the job done most of the time.
The bigger full frames tend to have a better shallow debt of files, much nicer lenses, and also better sound quality when connecting external microphones.
Hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.
