Read our full blog article which dives in deeper to compare and contrast all the specs and features between these two popular cinema cameras: www.soundstripe.com/blogs/sony-venice-2-vs-canon-c500
If you take a look at the C500 Mii and the Venice on CVP's lens tool, you can see that the Venice has more vertical sensor size, but the C500 has more horizontal sensor space. The C500 actually has more horizontal sensor size than even the Alexa mini lf. The only camera that I found which has a bigger sensor both horizontally and vertically is the red V-Raptor
@@nicholasboule5134 haha, yeah, but that's a given, it can record a crop factor of 0.97x that of the v raptor - which honestly speaking isn't that noticeable
What's neat to see with both of these cameras is how similar they look to the image coming out of the compact mirrorless cameras of each line. Of course, there are a bazillion more features with these, but especially with how flexible codecs have become in post the mirrorless cameras have become extraordinarily powerful tools.
Truly, it's amazing how just in a short couple of years image quality is almost indistinguishable between a pro cinema camera and a (pro) consumer camera. But you'd have similar results with an even lower pricepoint now. It's a great time to make films!
Guys making this video: "we're going to test the dynamic range of these two cameras" Guys making this video then throw a lut into both images, dereby reducing the dynamic range in the footage :/
Great video, I’m curious if the Canon c500 MK2 had spatial filter set at least +1 as it cleans up noise drastically. Also with new price reduction c500 best bang for Buck cinema camera as 2 plus year user the Benefits drastically outweighs the cons
I have greater respect for blind reviews comparing camera image quality. Labeling images often introduces bias. In my opinion, the underdog cameras often perform surprisingly well compared to their high-priced counterparts. This demonstrates that cameras are merely tools for expressing an artist’s creativity, while reviews lack that creative element.
I didn't understand the vignetting - but then I saw you used Cooke S4! Need to check with Cooke S7/8 but the Canon C500 is definitely beautiful, they shot 'fathers and daughters' with it(with Cooke S4, cropped surely) and it's a really great movie
No fair, the Canon C-500 is actually second below the flagship. The better comparison would have been the Venice against the C-700. In any event, maybe next time compare them on cost, connectivity, features, media, build quality etc.
@@mbismbismbbecause sony is leading in cinematography and rightfully so. ☠️. Truth is truth. But cannon on the mid to low range has alot of options that are great contenders
@@Aviciiz you don’t really shoot like that and your eyes are distorted with bias. Your opinion has implicit bias supporting the Venice because it’s more expensive. Both the colors from the Venice and canon look really nice but if Arri has the undisputed best color according to all filmmakers, then the Canon wins “skin tones” and “color separation” (which are intangible assets). Your argument is weak in the 1st place because nobody uses stock colors especially if your shooting with the Venice so your opinion has been proven wrong
Color separation is something I grossly underestimated with the c500 II (and isn’t talked about enough in camera comparisons) I believe nearly ALL cinema cameras can be graded to look super beautiful, but getting that color separation is a huge factor in that.
@@Erdnase52 show me something where a camera has little color separation and a lot of color separation. What would be better, and why? I don’t think “Color Separation” is a real thing until you can prove it otherwise

Panavision DXL2 as well which uses the Red sensor.
@@vlcheish yeah, that uses red's monstro sensor which is the same size as the v raptor sensor
Also the Alexa 65 😉
@@nicholasboule5134 I dont think the Alexa 65 has as much vertical size
@@nicholasboule5134 haha, yeah, but that's a given, it can record a crop factor of 0.97x that of the v raptor - which honestly speaking isn't that noticeable
The C500 MKII is a grossly underrated camera.
Coming from you Phil this means something...because you're basically RED all the way.

The C500MKII just got a $5K price drop too!
When you recognize some of the tracks in the video and you look down and are like oh it's soundstripe!

I have an updated r5c and it has come a long way on image quality. It also is an 8k60 camera. This video made me quite happy about my purchase.
Great video guys! hope to see you guys at NAB again :)
❤!!
I like the Canon warm and deep look better .
You should have known about the noise which is visible in raw. Because it’s raw. That needs to be cleaned in post. Basic raw workflow.
My favorite part of the video was when I totally thought you were gonna boil and eat your hat… 😅
Who says I won’t 🤤

You shift exposure latitude not dynamic range when moving ISO.
c500 mk ii has a 17:9 sensor so it is a little wider than the Venice though the Venice has a taller sensor
Going up in price is more about supporting workflows and specific features :)
For those are not making feature films or broadcast commercials, the 500 is the better camera by a long shot.
Canon c 500ii is top camera. But Hollywood fool people don't used...
Did you black balance the cameras before starting to shoot at each location?
I didn't understand the vignetting - but then I saw you used Cooke S4! Need to check with Cooke S7/8 but the Canon C500 is definitely beautiful, they shot 'fathers and daughters' with it(with Cooke S4, cropped surely) and it's a really great movie
I’d Love to see a side by side 8k raw and 5.9 raw between R5C an c5002
Now we have C400 that is even better and cheaper than C500ii.
Can you please tell me which camera did you used to film this video cause that looks way better
Ahhhhhh LETS GO BEEN WATING...
Woohoo!
Albeit I love the Sony Venice 1 & 2, I stand with the Canon EOS C700 FF & C500 Mark ii.
My hat!!!
The music at 0:46 🤤Love it!
corperate amerikah!!!

its the same sensor as the c700 only difference is the c700 gives you internal probes and uncompressed raw with the codex recorder
@@Auteur_Vision what are the internal probes?

🤣🤣🤣🤣
What ever happened to the music releases?
Textbook Sony Fanboy video.
I’m not a Sony fanboy! 😂
Ironically we (David and Chris) shoot only on canon! C70 and C500 and are both not switching to Sony any time soon.
@@Soundstripe i watch ur podcast video lately and u keep low key praising sony in it hahaha

@@slurp3194the whole video is only comparing low light hahahaha
I'd use the sony to film The Hulk, that's about it.
Feel like Im watching tmz
The colour of the Sony was soo much nicer than that from the Canon, it looked DSRL in comparison.
Canon c500 mk2 is like a 95% match to Arri Alexa LF. You don’t know anything about cameras
@@JitDawgBruhDang You sound butthurt. The Sony showed more color seperation and nicer skintones
