The Canon EOS Rebel SL2 can record Full HD video at 24, 30, and 60 fps. For the average vlogger, this is more than enough. And, with 60 fps you get a little bit of slow-motion fun, but it won't capture fast action.
The EOS 1300D can record video at up to 1080p at 30fps, which is a shame considering that its competition can go up to 60fps. Video quality is good for most lighting conditions as you have the ability to manually set the exposure. There isn't any stabilisation for video so you'll need a steady hand or a tripod.
It is an entry-level DSLR with an APS-C sensor that works with Canon EF (full-frame) and EF-S (APS-C specific) lenses. Inside, it features a 24.2-megapixel (MP) sensor and 19-point autofocus (AF) system powered by Canon's Digic 6 processor.

The EOS 750D and 760D (or Rebel T6i and T6s if you're in the US) are a pair of Wi-Fi enabled 24-megapixel DSLRs, while the EOS M3, with its hybrid autofocus system, looks to be Canon's best attempt yet at getting into the mirrorless market.
Your camera may have heated up. If your Canon camera gets heated up, it could shut down and stop recording automatically. The memory card in the camera may be unable to handle high-quality videos. A card with a low write and read speed will not record high-quality videos, such as those shot by Canon cameras.
If you need video clips longer than 30 minutes, there are ways to do it: You can use an HDMI-connection external recorder, such as the Ninja Flame, to easily capture longer content out of your DSLR. Learn more about how to use external recorders in Crash Course on External Recording Monitors.
The maximum file size for a movie is 4GB, regardless of the capacity of your memory card. However, you can keep shooting until you reach a total time of 29 minutes, 59 seconds — the camera automatically creates a new file to hold your new clip.
If the recording time reaches
29 minutes and 59 seconds or the file size reaches 4GB (whichever occurs first), recording will stop automatically.

The maximum clip length is 29 minutes and 59 seconds. The camera also includes a time-lapse recording mode, which creates a final Full HD video that plays back at up to 30 fps. Like its predecessor, the SL2 has an external microphone input but no headphone jack.
Canon T6i is powered by LP-E17 battery which provides a battery life of 440 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of DSLR type cameras is 948 shots, Canon T6i has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend T6i owners to invest in some extra batteries.

Videos shot with Canon 1500D have good amount of details and nice low-light noise control. It records videos in 1080p resolution. We shot videos at about ISO 3200 and the camera amazingly handles noise.
The diopter is a small lens in your camera's viewfinder. If your eyesight is good and you are using a camera that's had the diopter adjusted, you will see a blurry image in the viewfinder. You will need to adjust the diopter to correct this so you can see a sharp image.
It's much smaller and lighter than the 1300D, has a touchscreen, better ISO range, faster burst shooting and will continuously focus in video and Live View modes. Of course Canon itself pitches the 1300D as a camera that'll tear you away from your smartphone and it undoubtedly does a good job on that front.
If your recording needs call for the use of an external microphone, a
3.5mm input microphone jack is included as well.
