Which Camera Should We Use? Canon R6 vs GoPro Hero 9 Black

We’ve filmed over 100 vlogs with a GoPro but recently we shot a video with a different camera: the Canon EOS R6. The Canon camera is one I’ve owned for a few years but we’d never made a video with it until recently due to the convenient nature of the point and shoot action cam.

We asked for feedback and the response was quite mixed so I thought a more detailed experiment was in order.

I wasn’t planning to turn this into a video for public consumption but I thought it might be interesting – and I’d really appreciate your input as to which camera you prefer in terms of picture and sound quality.

All footage was shot on the same day, in the same location in 4k resolution.

  • Version 1: GoPro Hero 9 Black

Yarn Projects (crochet/knitting)

Knitting Needles

I've only just started knitting again and have had to upgrade from my original Symfonie needles (they tend to snap quite easily). I have a set of stainless steel needles from ChiaoGoo and also an ebony set from Lantern Moon.

I like both! The stainless steel was a little hard to get used to but yarn really glides on them. I like the look and feel of the Lantern Moon set too, but unfortunately they don't come in all the sizes I tend to use so I now end up switching between the two sets.

Crochet Hooks

I've tried loads of different single hooks to find the 'perfect' hook. I finally found what I was looking for in the Clover soft touch range. The hook glides well and the thumb rest is really comfortable. Unfortunately they don't seem to be available in a set, so I have a jar full of all the sizes I like to use.

Tunisian Crochet Hooks

My favourites are these from Lantern Moon, they're super comfortable and glide really well, and the best bit is that they swivel. They are also compatible with the KnitPro Symfonie hooks (these seem less sturdy but also glide well).

I also have a set from ChiaoGoo made from bamboo. These are very lightweight but I find that they can snag on some yarns (a nail file often helps to make the hook head better).
