Great video! I just bought the 6D mark II and I'm waitimg for it
Thanks to Dan for your always well-thought-out and informative videos.
Appreciate that Gerald!
As a Canon 6D user I can see that the Sony A7iii has almost everything I would want, the killer feature for me being eye focus. However, I got about 20 excellent lenses, 4 flashes, L-brackets, remote controllers etc that would be shockingly expensive to buy for Sony - all accessories are very pricey in the Sony world, so I am planning on getting by another year or two to see what Canons ff mirror less will be like. I am very glad that Sony is pushing it this way, as consumers we stand to gain from competition.
Richard Rönnbäck you can use adapter at start and switch to Sony glasses later on. There are cheap but very good Godox flashes at really good value.
Ladislav svencik Yes, I could, but I personally think that it would be a less satisfying option. Autofocus with adapted glass seems to be a mixed bag, sometimes working really well, other times working really bad, and when/if I switch I want it to be an upgrade, not only I features, but in experience. Godox flashes are great, I use them as studio flashes. I buy a lot of my gear used, and the secon hand market for Canon gear is enormous, and with good prices, but for Sony very limited and with few bargains, so a switch leads to having to buy new gear, which often has a Sony premium price tag, unfortunately. That is something that will improve over time, but right now the cost of a switch is prohibitive, for me at least.
Richard Ronnback, I was a pro Canon user for 40 years, yes 40 and switched to Sony mirrorless back in January 2017 and have no regrets. I used my Canon lenses with adapters for a while and then transitioned to Sony and Sigma glass. It was worth it. I sold all my Canon gear cameras, lenses, flashes and accessories to my camera dealer and got store credit for my Sony and Sigma gear. I lost some, but not as much as you might think. It was all well worth the change. I use Godox/Flashpoint strobes now. The Sony system is so much better than the best from Canon. Yes you could wait to see if Canon's full-frame mirrorless release will allow you to use your Canon lenses, or be brave and switch now. Your choice and your budget. Cheers
from 10 years of experience with Canon personly, I would suggest that you sell it and slowly build your arsenal back with Sony gear. Canon just has a much larger market share that they have not invested in innovative new products anymore. That is the only reason why Sony has this opportunity to come all this way from the noisiest camera bodies a decade ago. cheers..
Glad to hear you are happy, and I suspect I would be too, but for me as an enthusiast, rather than a working professional, cost is real issue. The option of switching is always there, but if/when Canon come out with a FF mirrorless I feel my options for choice will be even wider, so with that in mind, I will hang out and use what I got.
Great review and comparison, learnt a lot. Just bought a7iii few days ago, upgraded from 7ii.
This was a very informative and practical review of the two camera systems. I bought an A7RII in 2021 for about 700us $ equivalent and was quite thinking whether I made the right decision. Had second thoughts about having a Canon 6D instead. But once I got used to how to shoot with Sony, it’s pretty amazing. Proved that my purchase was right decision. But as you said, you’ll have to set aside some decent money for lenses to match Sony’s performance.
In 2021, there’s few amazing Tamron FE lenses for enthusiasts. I got the 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 and it is simply stunning for the money and versatility. Very sharp in the whole focal range, than any other non premium lenses out there.
We have shot tons of promotional and professional videos with our Canon 6 D Mark II. It's amazing with low light conditions. However, we have not yet used a Sony full frame camera.
As usual Dan exceptional work.. I catch many of the best channels and your work is climbing fast.. Always fun to watch, you handle most questions anyone would have while making it entertaining. Huge praise my friend, keep up the great work!
Appreciate that so much!!!
Fantastic video, man. Thank you very much!!
Your video looks amazing. How did you get that look?
Thank you. Can I please trouble you to tell us what camera and audio you are using for this vlog spot. Cheers.
Great video. I'm considering Sony a7iii. What would be the best allrounder lens for Sony? The kit lens or Tamron/Sigma? I like to take low light and landscape photography, thanks
Dan in low light and tap screen focus which system is the fastest to use to acquire a focus point. The only reason I ask is I shoot events on stage (video) often I can't use the EVF or OVF fast enough or I need a elevated angle.
Sorry but if you can’t shoot an event or a wedding with the 6d mkii that says more about as a photographer than it does about the camera. Pro photography has nothing to do with spec sheets.
You absolutely can, but you absolutely shouldn't. The Canon 6D mkII is missing some key features that every event shooter SHOULD have given the choice... And you do have a choice! If the 6DII was the only camera around, sure...it's a great camera and I certainly could shoot just about anything with it. But when the A7III, D750, and even the 7DII exist, you have to ask yourself who should buy the 6DII over the other cameras. Pro photography is all about finding the best tool for the task at hand and there are not many jobs the 6DII is better at than other cameras.
True, but this video is comparing two cameras, not two photographers. But what he said wrong is that the 6D2 would be less capable, very very wrong.
I shoot weddings with a Canon 5DMK2 ffs ok ive got great glass but i dont have a problem haha
Yo Paul; you are absolutely right! There is no way someone should say that the Canon 6D Mk2 isn't capable doing a wedding; are you kidding me? Like who heck says such BS! I've done tons of wedding with My Canon 6D Mk2 and has gotten tremendous and beautiful results so for this guy (Dan Watson) to make such a stupid statement it's absurd!!!
agree bro
Wow! What a compact review, I learnt a lot. Thanks 🙏🙏.
Man, nice review, however... You keep saying that "it depends on your usage", but then destroy Canon with on argument positive for Sony, and repeat that cycle again and again and again... You seem so innocent as if you are really trying to show that the 6d is actually OK, right before putting it down again.
I'm trying only to give you a constructive remark. You focus way too much on how the Sony is better on specific points COMPARED TO THE CANON, and when something is good on the Canon you DO NOT SAY IT'S BETTER THAN ON THE SONY, while this is true in, not all, but many cases. This makes you sound way much subjective than you seem to aim for.
The caps in my comment are only for emphasis.
canon is good but they're becoming like apple, they bang you upside the head upfront with the price they charged for garbage hardware thats outdated where as with sony, you actually get your moneys worth in what you pay for their cameras
But cannon its 2x cheapper than sonny :)
@@Robert-cu7kv what? Which one is that much cheaper on same category?
@@mithunrajsuresh1278 i dont know what you mean"category" i wanted buy Cannon but sonny has better options for future ,that's why its expensive
@@Robert-cu7kvyes, i agree with u. Canon is cheaper considering the lens.
I love what Sony is doing with the A7lll. I shoot with the 6dmk2 and love the quality i am getting out of it. My only gripe I have with sony is I tend to shoot in the rain and snow often and Sony’s water resistance seems to be below their competitors. So far I have shot in downpours and blizzards with the Canon with no issues from it o my Tamron lenses.
What macro lenses would you recommend for this camera?
Love the comparison. Can’t wait to see what Nikon and Canon comes out with for their first FF mirrorless offering. I feel like the release of the A7III will mean that both Nikon and Canon will add additional features that they might have otherwise left out.
Jimmy Ngo, I agree . The Sony A7III puts the pressure on Nikon and Canon to try and match features at the same price, a daunting task for their first full-frame mirrorless cameras.
Meh, only people who want to buy camera with high performance and good value would buy Sony. The majority only care about brand names and Canon would make way more money with the M50 than all three Sony cameras (a9, a7Riii, a7iii) combined.
and canablise there existing DSLR lineup? no chance
jonneymendoza actually I think Canon will put out a decent offering it won't be Sony specs, it will be less all around with no IBIS but it will be good enough that most canon shooters heavily invested in the Canon ecosystem still opt to stay, and then the next day Sony will drop another camera that will miniaturize the Canon launch at half the price.. Sure Sony really hit it out of the park with the latest round of a7 mark 3 line-up.. But they didn't launch any new sensors really it was only reiterations of previous technology.. They are holding out waiting for the competition to drop their best, to dwarf it. That would be my opinion. Fun times unless you are on the board of Canon, and your bonus depends on a lazy R&D department that hasn't been funded properly in the last decade. Oops.
Don’t hold you breath! 😄 Canon will likely not throw in all the features the Sony has, since it would eat into their Pro series 5D line. I wish Canon listened to customer feedback
Doesn’t the dynamic range issue with banding have to do with the canon sensor not being ISO invariant vs the Sony being ISO invariant?
You got the Sony a7iii focusing right on the filter thread of the Hasselblad's lens so it appeared as if the Sony was a bad lowlight performer.
Still loving the canon rendering
Can't wait for my A7iii! Tomorrow! Great Video BTW.
SeeYee Xiong what do you think of it? :D
António José so to update on this. My came in through fedex. I was at work, my wife was taking a nap and didn’t answer the door. Soooo they took it back and won’t have it in until tomorrow!!!!! FML. Will be doing an unboxing tomorrow. :(
SeeYee Xiong ohhhh, that's saddd! Good luck!
Dear sir how do you find in your opinion this camera for photographers , is it verygood for Studio and daylight photos in the street especially i want to use it in Studio photograph .
The 6d seems to have better iso and better image quality but is sadly too expensive...
Great video Dan. Was the A7iii footage straight out of the camera, or did you edit it?
Thanks! Almost everything was edited except actual TEST shots like low light/ISO or direct comparison shots. Those I usually leave stock
Hellow. Can you tell me which camera should i buy??
1. Sony 6600 or
2. Canon 6D mark ii.
I work as a full-time wedding videographer. I find the focusing on the 6d mk ii to be a lot smarter than my a6500. I love the a6500 iQ and the 4k is unbeatable. But the canon battery life and heat resistance is a must in Texas. Really, the 6d is my mule. A6500 for the pristine shots.
Hi, can you tell me which camera is better for videography as a beginner? I appreciate it.
I have a canon SL2 I wanted to have a full frame for getting a 6d I was looking into.. but then I saw the 6d mark ii then I see this omg
This is the review I've been waiting for! I'm looking to upgrade after 7 years of my rebel t3i! I think Sony has won me over :) Thanks heaps!
Awesome!!! Let me know how it ends up for you
Also looking to upgrade from my t3i. The Sony lenses are so expensive though...
Will you do a comparison between this sony and the XH1 please?
Not sure. I tried out the XH1 but I honestly didn't get it. Seems like a lot to pay for a camera with some definite weaknesses and smaller sensor so I'm not sure if I'll be doing any long term reviews with it
Good vid , just ordered the a7iii but I’m used to the Sony menu as I have an a6300 ✌️
I just did the same upgrade today. Camera won't arrive until June :(
wish i can afford it, but im still putting in work with the a6300!
@@realJonSpringer how is the quality in photos? I have also the a6500 for video excellent but for photo I don't like it I still using the canon 6d
@@realJonSpringer thanks!! I hope can buy soon .
I have a6300 and still learning how to use it. If ever i wanted to upgrade to fullframe its either a7iii or a7r or eos r🤔
The A7III is probably the best camera of 2017 along with the awesome D850. But, I can get a 6D2 + 24-105 for less than the Sony body only, and that's a difference... I hope Sony prices go down a little more
Sergio Serra
True but this is essentially a A7RIII with 24mp but better high ISO performance due to the new dual gain bsi sensor.
At more then a grand less.
That's properly good value. Yes currently the Canon 6D Costs less. But that only shows what an outrageously overpriced rebel it was.
It can't even beat a 4 year old competitor that released with the same price tag.
Yes I'd rather buy a D750 even now
They'll never come down, man! :) Its Sony marketing policy... can't pay, can't play ))
Man I love photography and I love innovation but people should just focus on becoming better photographers. Great video!
@Jee Vang Calling someone a hypocrite based on one sentence on YT video, you should relax man :DD
Ok but what about the people that don’t want to photograph??? What if we want it for video? Why should I stop doing video and switch to photography?
I think that you should drop your photography and focus on cinematography
How dare you comment something so controversial as this haha
It’s really hard to suck at photography, I literally just bought a Fuji xt3, and used it for first time in low light, as a night portrait photography, and they look amazing, and I don’t know anything about cameras, lighting etc, I just learned what the buttons do, and then twicked them to my eyes liking, it’s not that hard.
What’s really important is how good your camera is, no matter how good I get with my camera, it’ll never beat the Sony a7iii in low light, and that’s facts. I’m tired of people saying “oh they r all great cameras, just be a better photographer” they’re not all great cameras, some are better than others and people should be informed on those topics before buying them.
Great video thanks
Can we shoot video with Canon 6D Mark II?
Somebody help me.. I'm planning to do to fashion photography as a career and im planning 6d mark ii with 24-105 as my 1st camera.. Is this good?
Great video and comparison, what's the bracket to mount 2 cameras on same tripod?
Thanks! Just a bracket I machined out of aluminum. Not sure if they have something like that you can buy
Great vid thanks! Subbed
Thanks!!
Oh Question for you..... what do think about the Canon SL2 for beginning film making then moving up the Canon chains of more aggressive cameras?
The SL2 is a great camera for the price and I highly recommend it. You get almost the exact same video quality as the 6DII for 1/3 the price. I would consider getting the T7i though if you plan on shooting photos as well. The T7i is a big step up on the photo side with the AF system, speed, and features.
Wich i should buy for short film budget 600$ canon or sony .please help me
I love your videos. Just wondering where you get your music from?
Thanks! I get most of my music here: geni.us/mymusic
I would like to ask how is the experience of shooting with external flashes in a mirror less camera? can I set the camera in manual and still be able to see the ambient before taking the picture?
Just like shooting on a DSLR but there is a setting you have to change. You need to set the camera NOT to preview exposure and then everything will be perfect.
I have been subscribed to your channel since the Sony A6500 review, keep up with the good work Dan!
Appreciate that man!!!
Out of curiosity. What software did you use for the images? Capture one or Adobe? I noticed that Sony images have a green tint. Something I don't see anymore now that I started using capture one. Just curious. Great video man!
Adobe Lightroom
My thoughts are in the 6d mk ii now I'm changing my mind for the Sony a7iii whilst stuck in the middle of confusion for these two😭😭
Already preordered the 73 and I’m hyped...but...DOES IT HAVE AN AA FILTER OR NOT 😩😩 lol I can’t get a straight answer. Help ya boy out and let me know lol
AWESOME!!! The A7III does have an AA filter and you probably would never notice if it didn't. At 24MP, the differences would be minor if even noticeable
I am very tempted to switch. Might wait til A7SIII but the A7III already looks pretty nuts.
Should we wait for youtube to render in 4k or this review is only in 1080p?
Only in 1080p for this one. Didn't seem necessary to post in 4k since all the Canon video is 1080p only anyway.
Muy buenas noches y gracias por atender mi mensaje. Una pregunta. Para la calidad de video que da mejores resultados, una cámara de sensor 4/3 con con grabación ProRes 10 bits ó, una cámara "Full frame" que graba apenas a 8 bits. Caso concreto PANASONIC GH5S vs SONY A7III. Gracias.
thumbs up! which picture profile do you use when you film in fullhd on sony a7III?
I use the standard profile and drop the contrast / Sharpness slightly
Why hasselblad camera is out of focus on Sony ISO test?
Tomas Ramoska because the focus is on the writing at the front of the lens. The Sony is showing a shallower depth of field.
Ordered A73 but i am still keeping my 6D (mark 1) coz it is a good camera and it renders differently. You’re right about the menu system of Sony (my 1st sony) which pretty intimidating😂 but we’ll see... Love the video 👍🏻
Jonel Tadeo let us know what you think when you get it! I'm searching for a new camera.
Sheldon Aurat ... after been playing for almost a week now, the Sony is a very nice Camera & you will not be disappointed (vs my 5y.o. 6D). Loving the Sony (especially D.R. And high iso is clean) but i still prefer Canon color. I don’t have any Sony Native lens and i used my canon EF lenses with Sigma Mc-11 and i did not encounter any issue with it AND i can use Aye focus (which is a plus and saved me money buying FE lenses.
Very good..... Thanks you😻
Love the shot at Lake Eola. ;)
which one better for photo ?
can anyone tell at 7:35? the table on the Canon is not really white, it's has red tone...
Dan did you just say one can't shoot weddings with a 6d mkii? Man! I shoot weddings with my 77d and sigma 18-35. I don't think I agree with that statement
Well, you certainly can but you probably shouldn't. In theory I could shoot a wedding with any camera. But with cameras like that you are taking certain risks as they are not weather sealed, can't shoot dual cards for redundancy, and have more limited low light performance and a good portion of the wedding usually is shot over 800ISO. With the 6D II my main issues with shooting weddings are the lack of 2 card slots. Weddings are so important that I don't recommend taking any unnecessary risk and shooting them with a 77D and the 18-35 (even though I love both of those and highly recommend them) would not be my choice. I would 100% rent and use the 77D as my backup.
Love the quality and everything about the canon 6d mark ii but gotta appreciate the look of the sony a7iii it looks god damn amazing
Nice review!
Can u pls review a small monitor like as andycine A6 monitor
Currently (in Switzerland) the A7III is about 1k more expensive than the 6d MK II.. Therefore, I guess the cameras are not even in the same price range...
Retail price on both is $1,999 in the U.S
Gabriel Agent well that‘s crazy! Then I‘d probably also go for the Sony :)
Gabriel Agent but I got the 6d MK II and I am pleasantly surprised :)! It is a great camera and the AF is amazing. I prefer its ergonomics over the Sony as well as the whole color scheme and the menu.
@@sm6993 Sony has way better dynamic range, better in low light and a lot more focus points.
Gabriel Agent yes, but it costs twice the price that I paid for my Canon 6d MK II.
hi i can't decide between the new blackmagic 4k which comes out in september and the sonya7iii. i also do photography. what would you say?
Obviously I have not used the new BM4k but based on the past, they are extremely capable for the price but you might have to work around some issues and missing features. But if you want the best quality possible and are working on a limited budget, they can be awesome. Or great B & C cameras
ok thank you!
I figure once you buy into a system you wanna save on not having to buy new glass every time you move up. Just my thoughts
7:36, is this the real colour difference between Canon and Sony?
I have a canon 7D with 70-200 2.8. Thinking of switching to Sony A7iii but wanted to know if I can use my canon lenses if I use an adapter. Any downsides?
You can but the autofocus performance is not as good as native Sony lenses
I bought the 6D and i love it
Thanks!
Which one would you recommend for portraits? I’m quite new to photography so don’t have many lenses. Most people say Sony lenses are much more expensive than the canon but not sure what type of lenses would be best for portraits
Thanks
So yes, Sony lenses will be more expensive than the Canon EF lenses but that's because they don't make EF cameras anymore so you are buying very old lenses and I'm sure the resale value of Canon lenses will be MUCH lower than Sony lenses in a few years. Portraits aren't the most demanding so both of these cameras would pull it off nicely but the A7III definitely has the most advanced autofocus system which will track focus on your subject better and will have more dynamic range if your doing more environmental portraits.
Dan says the 6D2 offers no improvement in video technology. But, it does. The 6D2 has digital video stabilization in video modes, and the next generation of DPAF.
The Sony eye detection AF system falls short in low light conditions. Why do you think they keep releasing firmware updates for it? Because it does not work very well. It fails to focus quickly, if at all, in backlit shooting conditions, or low light shooting conditions.
Why do people complain about the focus points being clustered in the center? I ask because these are the same people who tell you that they do not use all of the AF points, anyway. The 6D2 has 45 cross type AF points, while the Sony has zero.
But the Sony has 693 phase detection points, and 425 contrast detection zones, you might say. Well, you are comparing apples to oranges, mirrorless vs. DSLR focusing systems, which use a separate AF sensor, instead of the main image sensor. So, how many AF points does the 6D2 have on its’ image sensor? With DPAF, that means each of the 24MP on the image sensor is a potential focusing point.
With the high number of available AF points in the latest cameras, no one should move AF points around anymore. For one, it is too slow to move the AF point selector around the viewfinder. Most cameras offer a reduced set of AF points to choose from.
Two, instead of focus and recompose, you should be thinking expose and recompose. In most cameras, spot focus is only available on center AF point. If your photography is so demanding that you need to focus and recompose, or select AF points, then you should also be worried about your metering.
In most cameras, you can spot meter with the center AF point, and lock exposure. With AF tracking turned on, the camera will stay locked onto your original subject as you recompose the shot. Meanwhile, exposure stays locked onto your original spot focus point.
No more need to move your selected AF point. Instead of focus and recompose, just meter and recompose. Let AF tracking keep your subject in focus as you recompose the shot.
I got my A7III on Friday. Also have A7RIII and A6500. I switched from pro Canon gear after 40 years, yes 40, back in January 2017 and have never looked back. Never going back to any DSLR ever. Mirrorless has so many advantages that no DSLR can physically have. Cheers
Gerald Williams I wish you well.
Eddie Grant, thanks man.
You're welcome my man. I unfortunately had a few life changing events for which I cannot switch from Canon to Sony until later...
Eddie Grant Just do what you can. The gear will always be there when you are ready. Cheers
Using your Canon Lenses on your nifty nice A7 series?
Which lens are you using I sony A7III
Great! Thanks!!!
Nice review but there is about 800 euro different price between A7III and 6DII in Czech Republic :D
I have 6d mk 2 it's amasing cmera, and i love it!!!
I recently purchased the 6d mk2 and absolutely love it..
@@shantanughosh4666 same here :)
Friend which one is good I’m stuck between these 6d mk2 and Sony
I'm trying decide between the 6D2 and Sony also..ugh
Still cant decide which new camera i should get, right now i have Eos 5D and its time to get something modern. I got a few EF lences, including 24-105 L, flash and B-grip system - all that stops me from going sony...
Hi ! Nice Channel ! Just ONE question Canon brand new 90D or Canon 6DMk2, just about images QUALITY ?? Thx ^^
Thanks!!! So the 6D2 will have better low light performance but that sensor was never amazing so it doesn't offer much better IQ than the 90D would despite being full frame except in low light
Which camera would you recommend for landscapes and portraits. Not interested in video just stills.
Or just keep my Canon 6d for while longer?
Maybe keep your Canon 6D. Certainly the 6D II will not give you a step up in quality and BARELY an upgrade in features (mainly the AF system which has gone from horrible to decent). Or consider the switch to Sony which will give you quite a bit more if you don't mind the cost of switching.
Dan Watson Thank you for your advice, much appreciated.
Thank you for all your great contents!
what's the name of lenses at 1: 55, even I am searching like that small lenses, if anyone know about it just let me know about the all features.
I had 85mm F1.8 lenses from each manufacture on those lenses. Great small portrait lens option.
Trolls out in full effect, Haaaa who more than half can’t shoot to save their lives, or they wouldn’t be trolls.
Thanks Dan! I do shoot canon for professional Architectural Photo's, but do use the GH5 with a gimbal on walk through's and for integrated 360 video's. As a guy who left canon for sony, how much will I miss the Canon color, will my clients notice a difference and should I sell my GH5 for the A7III? Keep up the great reviews!
Thanks!!! The Sony colors improved with the A7RIII and A7III to the point that I am convinced you will not care. There are still slight differences to Canon in some situations so you might still have a preference but I don't think you will ever be left disappointed with the A7III after editing and you might even come away impressed! I should be selling my GH5 for the A7III later this month. There are things I will miss for sure but overall I think I'm better off.
Thank you! I think I'm convinced. Now I just need to find out where to sell my GH5 along with XL Metabones adapter without paying that big sellers fee ;)
Quick question then. To use my Canon glass should I go Metabones or Sigma adapter? Which one is better for video autofocus?
video autofocus only works with native lens, buy some cheap native lens like 28-f2 55-f1.8 85-f1.8 for video, I recommend Sigma adapter(lastest firmware) over metabones for stills
Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!
both are super, better than most need...
Gino Foto exactly
How do you know what most need?
@@Life_Is_A... many things, fortunately, change since that time I wrote this comment, but still, both pretty capable cameras, even to this day's standards...
Patiently waiting for a7siii over here. ;)
Yep!!! Hopefully soon. Usability wise these new cameras are a MASSIVE improvement eve without new features like 4k@60 or 10bit which I really hope to see
2 years later its here!
@@learningcameras Now its Here with 120bit hahahaha
I've been shooting weddings using 6D MK1 with great results. No problem with event photography... just need good glass and you're good to go.
My issues are the lack of dual cards and limited autofocus. I've lost 1 too many cards to not have backup
Nice review Dan. I love my Canon 24-70mm L series 2 lens. Can I use this lens on this camera for video and still get the great image it produces including auto-focus>
You want to use the Canon 24-70L on the 6DII? It will work perfectly there. With the A7III autofocus will suffer a bit, especially in video. Still good for still objects but for moving subjects or video you will need native Sony lenses
Yes, I was inquiring about using it for the Sony A73. Thanks for the reply. Is the Sony 24-70mm as good as the Canon 24-70?
Jeff Alani Stanfill I guess the Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f4 is not as good as the canon 24-70mm f2.8. But I guess, that the 24-70mm f2.8 GM is better, but also more expensive. But Sigma also has an 24-70mm f4 Art lens for Sony FE, which is as we know from the Art series, also a great lens, but I don't know, if they just realesed the lenses.
Well I keep hearing conflicting information. Everyone is telling me not to dare let go of my Canon 24-70mm L series 2 lens as the Sony is not nearly as good and metabones adapter will allow it to work perfectly on the Sony. I will rent the camera first and check it out. Keep these excellent reviews coming!
Do you know if the A7 III has medium raw format or just full raw ?, thanks a lot for your tips
Just full RAW but you can shoot compress or uncompressed RAW but both are the full 24MP
ok good to know thanks a lot
Re: dual card slots, I'm not completely sold on that one. I once had a card seemingly go corrupt and lost some of the images in a single card slot camera. I later discovered that it was caused by a loose battery grip and intermittent connections to the contacts. It would be interesting to know whether having dual card slots would've saved those pictures in that situation with those loose contacts. It would be good to hear reports from photographers who have had experience of one card going bad while the other was good still good in a dual card slot machine, as well as reports of incidences both cards going bad, if such a thing ever happens.
No, dual card slots would have not helped you hear. It basically prevents against card failure. However, I love it as well because after an important event like a wedding, I will immediately remove 1 card from the camera and keep it in a different location from the camera and keep the other card in my camera. I will then import my images ONLY from the card in the camera and only after that card has been backed up in multiple locations and I view the images to make sure they are good will I delete card #1. That way in case the camera got stolen, there was an error during import, or my computer hard drive crashed before the images had been backed up on multiple drives, I still have my 2nd card. So for me, it's more than just card failure protection but also against loss, theft, and computer crashes
WOW!… Has any of that stuff ever happened to you?… or are you just a worrier by nature? I know you can never be too careful, but all those possibility/probability stats do sound a bit stressful. By the way, do you shoot weddings with two cameras? which would equal FOUR cards, and at least four hard drives as a result?…
For weddings, I will do ANYTHING possible to never tell a client that I don't have their images of a wedding. That would be the end of my job. I shoot weddings with 2 cameras and have 2 cards in each camera so 4 cards total each shooting RAW so I will often have 350GB per wedding in images. But I am only backing up 1 of the cards from each camera (the other is kept untouched in a different location until I can verify card 1 pictures are good and backed up which is usually 2 weeks) and I will backup both cameras to the same drive. Thus I do use 4 cards but only 1 hard drive.
Great detailed review thanks Dan
I still feel that the characterization of the 6DII as an "entry level" camera is borderline insulting, it's still a $2000 FF body and as such we as consumers should totally expect more from it. My 80D (which I adore) has better base DR, 100% viewfinder coverage, better AF coverage, 1/8000s shutter all at half the price of the 6DII. The 6DII is only "entry level" in relation to the 5DIV and 1DXII, it should be better than the rest of the lineup in every way just like even the "cheapest" Lamborghinis are better than mainstream sports cars. The A7III is the leap forward the 6DII should have been and that's the biggest offender because Canon has shown with the 5DIV and 80D that they can make brilliant cameras. I'll always keep my 80D and maybe even upgrade it to the 90D if it's a worthy successor but my next FF body won't be from Canon, the bigger sensor and even all its intrinsic advantages aren't worth the $1000 difference and all the other ridiculous downgrades.
That's what Dan is referring as he was also comparing A7III is the "entry level" to A7RIII and A9, so equivalent to the Canon 6D is "entry level" to Canon 5DIV and 1DXII :-)
Peter James Young I meant it more generally, as even when the 6DII was announced last summer people were trying to brush off its shortfalls by calling it "entry level".
I don't disagree that the more expensive FF bodies should be better than these (relatively) cheaper bodies but as I said, $2000 is still $2000 and there should be bare minimums the consumer gets for their money.
Hi Dan, I do a lot of Wildlife and nature landscape. I have the 400mm 5.6, would it work with the sony? Would it be fast enough to shoot fast birds?
I'm assuming you have the Canon 400mm lens? It should work fine on the Sony but you will not get the tracking autofocus speed/performance that you would using it on a Canon or getting a native Sony lens like Sony's 100-400mm lens. It's good enough for when birds are still but I think it would be tough to catch birds in flight with adapters
Yes, that is correct, I have the Canon 400mm 5.6 f Lense, sorry for being vague. Thank you for your reply and input.
I asked, because i was considering switching over. However, Sony lack the proper glass to make the switch, and i noticed a lot of sony shooters have metabone adaptors for their canon/nikon lenses.
I saw another video, the youtuber mentioned that you will lose the 10 shots per second with adaptors... I guess i'll just have to wait for canon to make their move.
Thanks again.
ok so im really wanting to buy the sony a7III BUT i live in an area where the temperature is 90 degrees+ 80% of the time. So my question is to you Dan, will the Sony camera overheat on me easily due to weather?
Hey! So I live in Orlando Fl so heat is definitely a thing I deal with. I've had the camera overheat on me 1 time in direct sun outside on a particularly bad day after 30 min. The camera does have a setting that allows it to heat up much higher before flagging a warning so I turn that on before a big event like a wedding and I'm usually good. It's definitely still possible but much more rare than on Sony's previous cameras.
Hi, I am interested to know if sony is bringing an upgrade for Sony A7 iii since I am about to buy it and don't want to get outdated very fast.
I doubt it. They just upgraded the firmware and we still haven't seen an update for the A7S series so my guess is we are at least a year away. Obviously I'm guessing but I there is absolutely no pressure for them to upgrade it soon
@@learningcameras thank you very much 🙂
im a portrait photographer, mainly leaning towards self portraiture but im absolutely torn between the 6D ii and A7 iii
Yeah, the 6DII was a bit of a weak upgrade though the price has dropped like CRAZY since making this. Check out the description for the sale price. The A7III is absolutely better but for portraits, the 6DII works just fine and will save you quite a bit of money. I would never buy the 6DII for the same price as the A7III though
The images of Sony are so clear and shape and videos too
good like anything thanks dear
What first lens should it get for the A7? I do NOT want to pay over $1000 for a a lens. For that I wouls just rather stick to m4/3 and fast primes which are tack sharp and better than a lot of sony lenses I heard. However I do want better light photos thus im considering an A7ii.
Without a question, get this one: bhpho.to/2klEbf5
fastest talking, breath in, breath out, still speaking, WOW!
i have no idea which one is better and, am I a dumb guy if I say someone pretty good using one of them will do amazing things? and not sure other people will know which camera he used? Because we are so much focus on the high tech comparing pixel that we forget the purpose of a camera
Does 6D Mark ii have autofocus for vídeo finally?
Yep, probably the best of any camera
Song?? It's a vibe
