Shopper conversation with Eric T. on July 12, 2016

Eric T.
Hello! my name is Eric how can I help?
Yes. I am looking for a canon camera that also has video. I will be using it for high school football games. I have 2 canon lenses and an a rebel XTi. Canon lens 70-120mm 3.5-4.5.
and a 28-105
3.4-4.5
Eric T.
Ok, so you are thinking of the T5?
I don't know. It's the first one I pulled up.
Eric T.
The T5 takes pretty good video, the controls are a little automatic in my opinion
What do you recommend?
I can spend up to $1000. I also will be using the camera take family pics and videos.
Eric T.
ok, let me pull up some units
I am assuming you want to stick with canon?
I would love to change to Nikon but then I would have to buy new lenses.
Eric T.
There is this nikon camera that comes bundled with a lens
about $1000 with the discount
how does that look? it takes much better video than the t5
Can you please also show me the next price down so I can look at a couple of choices.
Eric T.
sure
one moment
Can I buy this one without the lens?
Eric T.
Yes of course
I will look at both cameras. Thank you.
