Some may object to using a $2300 Canon lens on the Canon vs a $700-800 third party lens on the Sony - I personally see more odd color (with Samyang/Rokinon) and contrast (with Tamron) with 3rd party lenses - but I think the results of this test are still pretty much valid. It's essentially a wash except for the log shots. Half of the first 8 shots I picked Sony and half I picked Canon. I picked Canon for all 4 of the log scenes. Cheers.
Great review! Yes, the R5 is amazing in low light and probably the king up to ISO 12,800. I think it's very underrated in its low light abilities and the colours, especially at 8:10 look 100x better on the R5. People just assume that because of the large sensor the R5 will suck at low light but Canon did something special with their new cameras and they make their own sensors unlike Nikon and Fuji who just rehash Sony sensors.
I knew which one is canon, because look at the skintones of the sony has ,it still has green cast on ths skin. Also it's not over sampled, its downsampled from 8k.
@@zakiradi450 Camera picks the color is the point of the exercise. All modern sensors capture thousands of times more data than is contained in a final 24bit color image. You can get any color style from any camera. When we talk color science and camera colors we are talking about what the camera chooses to do automatically.
I got 90% of them right. I've been using Sony for close to 5 years, my eyes are engineered to pick out their shitty color science. Much improved over the previous colors!
Issue I've had with Sony is that Greenish tint which you can still see on the girl and the little boys skin, as well as the chrome trim on the truck and the dogs fur. Other than that greenish-blue tint, Sony is really good. one of the reasons it looks more attractive at a glance is because your eye is more attracted to the green color in that first split second when seeing a plant or an image, it's a survival thing. I think the Cine line of Sony cameras is the only camera that doesn't have this greenish look from my user experience.
Just to reply to my own question - I've not noticed any green tint with my Sony A7c and Sony 35mm f1.8 (skin tones are great), BUT I've heard the 35mm Samyang can give a green tint (I'd imagine it's the same with all Samayang lenses, and is likely due to the lens coatings used).
The green tint is intended to mimic film stock somewhat. There was complaints of this being really bad on the FX9 when it was released and that was Sony's explanation
Could tell from the very first shot that canon was A. There where a few shots that made me doubt it but overall you can see that canon always has the warmer greens and more magenta in skintones which makes it easy to spot
Well darn it, this makes me want to cancel my A7S3 order. I have no interest in the R5, but the C70 looks very good. I preferred Camera A pretty much every time. At best it was a tie for one or two. So many amazing cameras out there now.
I end up using the camera colors maybe 10% of the time... This whole exercise only applies to what the camera does automatically... Raw files contain hundreds of shades of color in-between every possible color step in a 24bit image. Seems silly to let a very simple automatic routine in a camera choose exactly how those 14 bits (16384 shades) per color gets rendered down to 8bits (256 shades) per color. over 90% of the information in the image gets thrown away to make that 24bit image. Am I going to choose what to keep and what to throw out of that data or will I let a very weak AI choose for me?
Hey Thad! I don’t know which camera you ended up getting, but you can get a lut called Phantom Luts for the Sony system and the colors match to those of an Arri camera, which most people in the Cine community says has the best colors of them all. It’s amazing and worth a look if you ended up getting the Sony
Same here... I have canon R5 and Sony A9II. And I shoot a lot of wildlife... And somewhere I love the Sony colours more in the habitat. But while shooting portraits I prefer the canon colours.
Wow I went with camera A 9/12 times! Thought you were mixing up the cameras shot to shot so expected a result much more 50/50... To me the A tones looked a little more natural and workable while on B sometimes noticed odd colour casts... really surprised Canon killed Sony with that last night exposure of the building!... the one B stood out for me was the much warmer landscape field
I taught that I would have prefer the Sony colors because of other compare videos and the new A7S III colors, but looking at the clips, the Sony sky's where weird alien, the skin tones where a little too green on some conditions. Tx for the video!
One thing to note is that you were using S.Gamut 3 Cine. Unless you've been given some new Cine LUT, The Sony LUT isn't made for the Cine profile so you probably messed the colours up there. S-Gamut3.Cine is also the wrong LUT to use for TH-cam. "Combining S-Gamut3.Cine with S-Log3, which has gradation characteristics similar to those of scanned negative film, makes it easier to grade a movie for playback on devices such as a digital cinema projector." For a closer comparison, try use S-Log2 and the standard S-Gamut.
It is not fake at all, just smaller than on the cinema cameras. You can use the smaller .cine variants instead. You can use whatever you like with TH-cam as capture and rendering aren't the same. S log 3 gives a lot of latitude for editing.
totally liked the Canon COLORS better, hands down. The Sony often looks greenish/yellowish. I did prefer the Sony's less contrasty look though, although I guess this is easily fixed if one wanted to. I would like to see more on the noise comparison!!! As always though, TH-cam is no good at all for comparing video quality. Either a better service like Vimeo or offer videos for download!
Both look Good actually. i think for someone like me who color grade your footage the sony is way way better choice good low light great dynamic range nice color nice codecs no overheating
GREAT video, Max. I’m a Canon/Blackmagic shooter but the a7S iii is on my list. For me it was an even split, but Cam A won all the Log settings. Meaning Cam B won the non-log settings by a lot. Which was unexpected. And also I am now more confused than before 😂.
It's so obvious in each scene which is which. The Sony Yellow is real. The canon pink is real. Canon clearly has more details. Sony however, has more "pop" while Canon looks flat. Don't love either images. Sad.
What camera should I get? A7iii or A7siii? I don’t plan on taking advantage of the new Sony memory cards because the file sizes are way to large . However stabilization and low light is very important to me. So we are talking about a $1800price increase if I go with the a7siii, do I really need that though? Help me out.!
Its interesting that when we usually talk about skin tones, its typically in reference to Caucasian skin. I'd really like see a comparison of camera colors with models who are Indian, Native American, Black, Asian, Middle Eastern etc. Let's see what these cameras do with different skin tones across the board. It think that would offer a more realistic, accurate picture of how skin tones are handled by each camera. (Of course that maybe difficult during Covid, but just something we need to see...sometime)
Certainly there is a reason why caucasions are used as models. Color tones are easier to notice. Vs on someone who's skin color is brown or coffee black. Especially in bright to low light conditions. Now if you are going to test sensor capability. In low to very low light conditions. Then including people who's skin color. That is brown trough coffee black. Alongside white, red and yellow would be perfect.
I keep finding that s-log, even in the hands of people that know what they’re doing, looks worse than c-log. I still preferred the Canon colors on the 709 profiles in most of the shots, but the Sony colors looked good and close enough that it wouldn’t really sway me either way in terms of buying a camera.
I found A always had better/natural color spectrum/resolving in the images, and the B has always had either green or magenta over-tones which looked lacking wider color-spectrum, (i,e resolving image into a narrower color spectrum with these over-tone shades).....that said color preferences are subject to personal perception of the image/scene....... Big thanks to Max for this beautiful experiment as it helps my own decision in future as am not yet committed to either system......
To me, it's the lens and quality of light that affects the colors more. I noticed a big bump in image quality after I bought my first decent lens. I think it has to be the coatings that help absorb light better.
Sometimes I would shoot on my A7iii and just shake my head as to how the image could look so bad but after watching a number of videos online I have a feeling the Sony sensors really don't handle mixed lighting conditions that well. I mean in some shots it looked great but others just plain awful where the canon didn't seem to have this issue
Probably bad white balance with non-full spectrum lights. The green is likely more true to the actual scene, but not very attractive (unless you're going for that look- see the film Collateral)
Sony’s skin tones always lean on green/yellow green. And when it comes to grass and trees I know it’s sony when it looks too green, or mustard green, sometimes neon green. Canon’s green is more subdued and leans to warmer side
My result : Canon EOS R5 (9) and Sony A7SIII (3)... Yep, didnt expect the lowlight would be much better for R5 than the A7SIII, and no I am not both brand user. Just here looking at the footage for comparison :D
[1st group] A (both good), B (neither good), B (definite preference), B (both good), [2nd group] B (better sky), A (both good), A (both good), B (both good), [3rd group], B (more real), B (more neutral), A (more saturated), A (better hue). The problem with a test like this for me is that an hour later I will change my mind on at least some of them. I have never felt compelled to only look at things one way.
Woooo, i wrote my results and I didn't pat attention to the pattern that i was following lol. I chose A 9 times, 2 of them were even ( 5 and 11 i think both were as good to not pick any above the other, and i liked Sony better only in the second shot. The Sony gives a more saturated image straight out of the camera i guess, but i noticed a green ish hue to the skin and that's why i kept choosing the more pink healthy ish skin tone. In the waterfall shot i could have chosen B, but i thought it was too saturated already, that's the only one I'd switch. Overall, i like Canon colors better, i have a M50 and i barely shoot with it, but I'm very glad that it has the tones i like the most 😁
The first time I looked through these images I was concentrating on skin tones. In the blind test I picked Canon 7 times---and every time I picked Canon it was preferring the skin tones. Three images seems a kind of wash--both looked fine I couldn't absolutely prefer one to the other...but.... now I've been going through looking closely at every thing else---close looks at skies, contrasts, naturalistic looking colors and tones, color tints, weird polluted colors and I've got to say I'm shocked at what I am seeing. Sony skies: totally weird and unnatural looking. Bizarre. There is no true yellows---tons of weird greenishness in the little girl's slide, and the yellow traffic block the boy was sitting on---NOT yellow. Sony has managed to tint it green. The boy's car---the bizarre purple throughout---really weird and unnatural looking. Sony skies---weird, and looks unnatural, painted on by some artist who has no talent. At 5:56 note Sony all shot through with some weird yellow tint---all over the sky as well. I was seriously thinking about the Sony---and their improved colors-. Yea, maybe they're better (how could they be worse???--they're, hands down, the worst of all the companies for color)....but I have to agree with Carlos Quintero: their color science? Very unsettled, even now in late 2020. At times it looks unnatural to me--painted on, and at other times, like with the greenish slide/traffic concrete thing, or crazy tinted skies..it just looks like bizarro world. I saw a real world comparison in back to back videos on Park Cameras in virtually identical circumstances with the same model--really pretty gal; great subject for skin tones and shadow fall-offs, etc. The comparison was accidental, because the videos were simply placed next to each other in the Park Cameras youtube production, so it was only natural to watch them both and make the comparison----especially if you're considering buying a new camera. The first video was the A7sIII, the second? The new Panasonic S5. I watched them closely several times. Picked up the phone, cancelled my pre-order for the A7sIII and ordered the S5 instead. Yes, Sony now has a 10 bit 422 video camera, and, as always, the bells and whistles they try to draw you in with----but NO MORE! After really looking at Park Cameras videos and your video---NO MORE! Maybe Sony people and fan boys (and girls) find it all exciting...but, it's really ho-hum. Blackmagic Design, far superior color, Panasonic GH5 and Killer 6k S1H---422, anamorphic, DCI, 10 bit, RAW, high bit rates, waveforms, synchro-scan---all that and a lot more has been going on for several years now. Sony's not innovating. They're still behind the curve, and still with those "make your own color profile" color profiles...and hard to grade versions of Log. Better menus...yes. It's only taken YEARS for them to respond to that. But still Canon/Panasonic, Blackmagic---almost every one has better menus and ergonomic button layouts. NO more of Sony's iron pyrite for me. Heck, give me a G9, an EF to MFT speed booster, with 10 bit 422, waveform, class leading stabilization, fantastic colors, anamorphic, V-log...I'll have a ton of $$$ to spend on great lenses...that don't weight a ton or weight a ton, and be happy the result. Can't shoot slow motion in the dark??? Yup. Ya got me there. Good luck with that shooting in the dark thing. All the wedding clients have been asking for that.
i actually scored a draw on the end, mainly because i liked the canon's log results way better. the greenish tint of the sony is just way too apparent on those night shots. on the daytime shots it really depends - i found the skin colors on the canon to be more natural and better looking, while the landscape shots (especially with a lot of green) looked much better on the sony. the good thing though is that, now that the a7s III does 10 bit, you don't need to be afraid to get ugly artifacts and color shifts if you want to change it in post.
Canon 4 K HQ is the absolute winner to me. The colors are just warmer and not colder as i would describe the Sony A 7 S 3 footage. The overheating is no issue for me bc i normally never shoot longer than 10/15 min Videos, alone bc of the sometimes very slow rate of being able to upload to youtube. Of course you can only see the 4 K or 4 K HQ video on a Laptop or desktop and not on mobile devices
i was hoping youd switch up the shots a little. It was obvious the B was a little greener and probably the sony in every shot. I preferred it in all cases except shots 2 and 12 where the red was nicer than the green. I still hate that the sky turns out teal with sony instead of blue, i could never figure out how they keep colors pretty accurate then make the sky completely change no matter where i shoot.
@zulfikangga Yeah, I biased towards the Canon colors that I like more. I'd still rather shoot video with the Sony, because of my bias that prefers dynamic range over out of camera color. Bias is normal dude, come to peace with yours
Great job Max for real life, outdoors comparison. I scored B-7, A-3, Tie-2. If I was shooting a documentary, I would choose the Sony every time. I have screen with 100% RGB accuracy. The waterfall (3rd image) the Canon shows the rock face with a cold blue cast, the waterfall has lost detail, and the shadows under the trees are darker and less detailed... while the Sony waterfall mage is better is every way including colours. In the first eight images the Canon shows some faced with a little less detail (slightly blurred?). This is very odd (I trust Max got it right) as the Canon has dual pixel auto-focus and a 4K HQ image (down sampled 8K).... which should on paper match or beat the Sony but fails in these real-life tests. The most troubling image is the last image (little Max under the street lights)... at first I gave the win to the Canon (sharper & better colours) but changed it to a tie... the Canon has made the image with "Canon colours" by typical pushing red into the skin tones but also the yellow brick has been "correct" for daylight yellow (looks unnatural)?? .... However, the Sony seems truer to life for a nighttime streetlight scene (there is a natural colour cast). I find the Canon colours tend to be over processed and are not accurate to life. On top of this the Canon also has overheating issues with high quality modes and the Canon codecs are more CPU intensive to edit.
Dynamic range is better on the Sony by a significant stretch: 5:52, 6:04 details on her jacket in darker areas, 6:14 details on trees, bush and pavement, etc. You just need to add some magenta and you're set to go.
Picked B for the first two sets. Better colour and dynamic range. Then A on the last set. The last set though for the Sony looked like the profile was wrong. Why not set colour and white balance using a colour chart then go from there.
I bought into the canon colors hype but I like the sony look better. Whenever I grey card I don't seem to have to change the skin tones unless the flash is mixed with continuous light or if my settings aint right
Issue i have with the canon is how they add extra white to the skin almost giving it a edited look with a almost unnatural bump in skin exposure. Yes the skin pops more but it just doesn't belong in the image
Great video again! Love the colors of the a7siii Would love to see a low-light side-by-side comparison between the a7siii and the former low-light king the a7sii, especially in how the lowlight noise and details compare to each-other... is it a big improvement or not?
Camera conspiracies is totally right Max feels like he is always trying to skew the results to what he thinks. lol. That last shot is green literally. So funny 😂
BABA BBBB BBBA Sony killed it and I was shocked. Have always though Canon was the king of color. However lens plays a role in this as well. Nice vid thanks
I think you like the more saturated shots more, i got 9 Canon, 2 even, and just 1 Sony shot, in the slide shot i thought it should be yellow and not green, that's why i chose A. I thought he would mix them up so i was actually choosing the ones i liked, didn't pay attention to the pattern.
Ugh so frustrating. It’s literally the only reason I still shoot Canon. Sony has the better specs and bodies but they take so much work even in stills that its just not worth it 😂 Thanks max, made me feel better for not keeping my a7siii preorder. The “new” colors really almost had me. 😨 Canon ship the r5’s
They can do it,. Canon crippled r5 intentionally for their c70 and c50,. Thats why I hate Canon so much,. But still I don't know why I'm still using Canon,. Sometimes I'm really jealous about Sony and nikon camera specs for its price,. I feel canon over pricing their cameras,. Well the technology is great now,. You'll never go wrong now on each brand,. Just find the brand you loved the most,.
I was able to spot the Canon immediately, on all the profiles. The difference between the two LOG quality is seen in the last scene at night, with the green skin tones. That exaggeration shows the problem that exists even in normal light, just a bit less. The only way to get good color out of a Sony is via HLG3, rec709 color mode, -1 saturation, Detail -7. Then, color grading it is much easier.
It was pretty clear that Cam A was the Canon. Especially in the log-conversions you could see the differences. Sony has much more of a greenish tint. Personally, I like the Canon colours much better, except for the portrait of your wife (?) in Neutral, the Canon was too red in that one...
I preferred the Cannon. I didn’t expect it honestly, I thought familiarity with my Sony would’ve wired my brain to like it more out of familiarity. But it was a fairly close battle at 7v5
Pick a custom WB off the same grey target like a passport checker so the white balance is actually the same between the cameras and you’re not look at a difference of white balance
I assumed each picture would be randomized as to which camera was A or B (some reviewers do that). Thinking that way I spent a few minutes on each picture without consideration of what came before. I had a sense of which was which but wasn't sure. Many seemed too close to call which was best... (so subjective), but I picked a winner regardless. Group one split 50/50; B, A, B, A. Group two(Neutral) all B. Group three (Slog3 vs CLog) all A. So it ended up dead even for me, though the Canon R5 is the winner because I'd be using the CLog and grading it. I was quite surprised with the night scenes; I thought the Sony would be sharper.
Please expert, is Combining S-Gamut3.Cine with S-Log3 a good idea? that is what I saw from another of Max's videos but I am not sure if that is the best option or just use gamut3
Hi Max. I chose A on 12 out of 14. So all of the Neutral and Slog were A. Only the 2nd and 4th (in out of the box) did I pick B. I look at two things: 1) are the whites pure in any light or is there a hint of green? 2) Do the skin tones look perfect or do they have a touch (a kiss) of green or are they sunburned rosy look? BTW, I want to buy your NX1. ) Fletch
Nice comparison. But let's be honest. We don't use the pictures or videos out of camera. You tweak them in lightroom or PS, or Premiere or Final Cut. I guess you can match them up in post almost identical that you cannot tell which camera is which cause they look the same. Only difference might be dynamic range and noise. Or more advanced stuff like rolling shutter and all the things like that.
I suspected A was the Canon from the beginning.The Sony footage looks more yellow. The more important question is which is more realistic? This is something only Max can tell us.
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A Now to start. A by a mile with the exception of the water scene around 3:55. I actually wonder if those were mislabeled.
I have to say that i like the pictures of the R 5 better than the S 3, bc the colors are without much tweaking so much richer. But on the hand i have to admit that i have smaller hands and shorter fingers, which means that i would feel more comfortable having to hold the S 3 than the R 5 in my hands. As soon as the extrem amount of covid cases go down in California i will go to a Best Buy to see how they both compared feel then i hold them in my hands. One question for you Max is the Canon RF 27/70 2.8 roughly the same size as the similar Sony G Master lens. That could maybe be the deciding difference in which camera i will choose
The Canon has simply the warmer colors / higher contrast between warm and cooler colors. I know that a lot of you tubers say that you can make the Sony A 7 S III look like the Eis R 5, but how much extra time, per video will this take you.....the decision will come up for me in Summer then i have to make the decision. What makes my decision making tougher is that i will need a 3 camera set up, and for that both of theses cameras plus a more budget friendlier can era, but which makes videos of a similar Quality like the Lumix S 5 will be pricey. Max what would be your advice as which camera too choose. Just so you know it will be a music production, gear reviews covers, centric channel ?
My vote is canon, but you can't go wrong with either. The greens are very consistent on canon, however, when I edit sony footage I find it easier to grade.
There reason that sony has alot of noise in low light because you’re not overexposed it when shoot in slog. It should at least overexposed +2 stop to remove the noise in the shadows.
BBTA BATA AAAA T means tie. Clog really surprised me! I’m a Sony user. just got my S3 yesterday, and i plan to shoot slog3 all the time, but now i am more confused... Gee... i have a BMPCC4K too, i feel it always has a magenta shift, while Sony has green tint shift(seems less on S3 than older cameras). Guess i will use BlackMagic for portrait, and Sony for landscape. Or just try to grade both to match Fuji colour. Nice test! Thank you for doing this. Keep doing this plz~
Biggest difference I noticed from the start and the reason I picked the Canon shots out right away was the clarity and slightly sharper colors. The Sony pictures appeared to have a very slight haze compared to Canon.
Wow, didn't expect the R5 to look better in low light! I picked B for test 1-8 then A for the last 4. I suspect with further tweaking though the slog could look better than shown here. Would have been nice to see some low light test in the first two profiles.
cool vid 🤟. although... being a sony shooter too I could instantly tell before you said it you used the neutral colours. THOSE are the ones that give that historically pronounced sony 'look'. ie the skin goes a bit yellow or green. on no picture profile I use STANDARD and the skin tones are much much better. (I do other tricks for cine profiles too but perhaps I'll make my own video for that )
Both look fantastic on their own. However, I preferred the Canon 9 out of 12 times. I nearly chose the Canon on the landscape shot because it was more neutral but preferred the Sony for the warmer WB. In general it seemed most of the Sony clips had a green cast to them.
Thanks for making this comparaison. It confirme my experience using canon and Sony dsrl : under natural light they are both pretty close (envie though I found that Sony skin tones has a bit more green) but under artificial light (boy at night) this were you see how canon color shines for skin tones
It's so easy to know which one is what. Since i shoot both systems i can see the difference. Sony have a green tint and canon magenta, and on canon at least on skin tone is so good but on sony not that much and even how much you try in post there is still that little green cast that you can't get rid off. I've saw and on other reviewers aswell
A looks better to me, specially for skin tones & the dog scene. He looked more true to life (brown, redish) than the B cam which he looked yellowish to greenish color.
@@MaksimYuryev i ordered 1 s3 just because I have too many glasses. It is arriving tomorrow. I will make a review as well. However, I also like Canon R5 because it gives you 45megas for great landscape photoshoots. The only downside is overheating. this is why went to sony again.
A 1,2 / 6,8 / 9,10,11,12 B 3,4 / 5,7 / I preferred either camera until log applied. I always found green tint on skins, and always preferred R5 over a7S III. I also preferred bluer sky from Canon files.

Some may object to using a $2300 Canon lens on the Canon vs a $700-800 third party lens on the Sony - I personally see more odd color (with Samyang/Rokinon) and contrast (with Tamron) with 3rd party lenses - but I think the results of this test are still pretty much valid. It's essentially a wash except for the log shots. Half of the first 8 shots I picked Sony and half I picked Canon. I picked Canon for all 4 of the log scenes. Cheers.
Great review! Yes, the R5 is amazing in low light and probably the king up to ISO 12,800. I think it's very underrated in its low light abilities and the colours, especially at 8:10 look 100x better on the R5. People just assume that because of the large sensor the R5 will suck at low light but Canon did something special with their new cameras and they make their own sensors unlike Nikon and Fuji who just rehash Sony sensors.

Issue I've had with Sony is that Greenish tint which you can still see on the girl and the little boys skin, as well as the chrome trim on the truck and the dogs fur.
Other than that greenish-blue tint, Sony is really good. one of the reasons it looks more attractive at a glance is because your eye is more attracted to the green color in that first split second when seeing a plant or an image, it's a survival thing. I think the Cine line of Sony cameras is the only camera that doesn't have this greenish look from my user experience.
Does anyone know if there's a way to remove the green tint from photos in the Sony?
Just to reply to my own question - I've not noticed any green tint with my Sony A7c and Sony 35mm f1.8 (skin tones are great), BUT I've heard the 35mm Samyang can give a green tint (I'd imagine it's the same with all Samayang lenses, and is likely due to the lens coatings used).
@@Mickparrysstepdad You can shift the color balance more toward magenta in camera or in post.

Soon as there’s skin involved I can tell instantly when it’s Sony as the darker parts of the skin have a green tint
It’s the green ... just the worst
The Canon also seems to add red. They always have.
Well darn it, this makes me want to cancel my A7S3 order. I have no interest in the R5, but the C70 looks very good. I preferred Camera A pretty much every time. At best it was a tie for one or two. So many amazing cameras out there now.
C70 is different level,. But the price of it is also on different lvl,.
I end up using the camera colors maybe 10% of the time... This whole exercise only applies to what the camera does automatically... Raw files contain hundreds of shades of color in-between every possible color step in a 24bit image. Seems silly to let a very simple automatic routine in a camera choose exactly how those 14 bits (16384 shades) per color gets rendered down to 8bits (256 shades) per color. over 90% of the information in the image gets thrown away to make that 24bit image. Am I going to choose what to keep and what to throw out of that data or will I let a very weak AI choose for me?
Hey Thad! I don’t know which camera you ended up getting, but you can get a lut called Phantom Luts for the Sony system and the colors match to those of an Arri camera, which most people in the Cine community says has the best colors of them all. It’s amazing and worth a look if you ended up getting the Sony
I prefer Sony colors for landscapes and Canon colors for portraits
I had much the same feelings towards the results.
I agree 100%
Same here... I have canon R5 and Sony A9II. And I shoot a lot of wildlife... And somewhere I love the Sony colours more in the habitat. But while shooting portraits I prefer the canon colours.
Have you heard about color targets? Calibration? Luts? Dcp profiles?
@@photobatya Yes, but it is irrelevant to the topic "which colors do you subjectively like more straight out of the camera".
Wow I went with camera A 9/12 times! Thought you were mixing up the cameras shot to shot so expected a result much more 50/50... To me the A tones looked a little more natural and workable while on B sometimes noticed odd colour casts... really surprised Canon killed Sony with that last night exposure of the building!... the one B stood out for me was the much warmer landscape field
Can I just say they're both fantastic. I'd be more than happy with either image.
Thank you so much for this! I got the Canon every time! Definitely, the canon has the better colors! Especially for portraits.
I taught that I would have prefer the Sony colors because of other compare videos and the new A7S III colors, but looking at the clips, the Sony sky's where weird alien, the skin tones where a little too green on some conditions. Tx for the video!
Yeah, Parker Walbeck showed the A7SIII while better than other Sony cams, still exhibits the green skin problems.
agree on the skin issues
Too big color difference on "Night Kid in car park" scene...
The face too green...
@@DarkPa1adin that's a white balance issue not a color science thing
@@DarkPa1adin Greenish tint look very cinematic, magenta cranked to 11 on the Canon looks like crap
@@MM-gx8fd Are you suggesting Sony AWB is inferior to Canon? Max used Auto WB right?
@@akekun1983 I question why he used AWB on any shot. Manual custom would be preferable to compare colors.
BAAB, BABA, AAAA. So the Canon log seems to be my favorite :)
we have literally the exact same scores. clog looked great
My exact rating.
One thing to note is that you were using S.Gamut 3 Cine. Unless you've been given some new Cine LUT, The Sony LUT isn't made for the Cine profile so you probably messed the colours up there.
S-Gamut3.Cine is also the wrong LUT to use for TH-cam.
"Combining S-Gamut3.Cine with S-Log3, which has gradation characteristics similar to those of scanned negative film, makes it easier to grade a movie for playback on devices such as a digital cinema projector."
For a closer comparison, try use S-Log2 and the standard S-Gamut.
Or don't use S-Gamut at all as it is fake. Use the i t matrix 703
S-gamut in a7siii is still fake according to their website.
It is not fake at all, just smaller than on the cinema cameras. You can use the smaller .cine variants instead.
You can use whatever you like with TH-cam as capture and rendering aren't the same. S log 3 gives a lot of latitude for editing.
Pretty consistent with old color science, canon has magenta tint and sony green tint.
Not sure why anyone would prefer the green tint over a magenta tint either, especially when it comes to skin tones.
@@Dub105 Generally speaking though, people would rather look a little pink than a little green. No bride was ever like, "I love how green I look!"
@@JoshAmes1980 yes true !!!
Old color science??? Older sonys had a serious magenta cast
Hulk = awesome that’s why green > magenta
totally liked the Canon COLORS better, hands down. The Sony often looks greenish/yellowish.
I did prefer the Sony's less contrasty look though, although I guess this is easily fixed if one wanted to.
I would like to see more on the noise comparison!!!
As always though, TH-cam is no good at all for comparing video quality. Either a better service like Vimeo or offer videos for download!
The Clog footage was so impressive and a very unexpected win for Canon in low light.
Both look Good actually. i think for someone like me who color grade your footage the sony is way way better choice
good low light
great dynamic range
nice color
nice codecs
no overheating
For all the colour graded Raw footages, I chose Camera A..❤️
GREAT video, Max. I’m a Canon/Blackmagic shooter but the a7S iii is on my list.
For me it was an even split, but Cam A won all the Log settings. Meaning Cam B won the non-log settings by a lot. Which was unexpected. And also I am now more confused than before 😂.
Same for me
Same!
It's so obvious in each scene which is which. The Sony Yellow is real. The canon pink is real. Canon clearly has more details. Sony however, has more "pop" while Canon looks flat. Don't love either images. Sad.
I have a Sony A7s3. And went for the Canon nearly every time. Less of a a green tint (genuinely making me thinking of switching)
What camera should I get? A7iii or A7siii? I don’t plan on taking advantage of the new Sony memory cards because the file sizes are way to large . However stabilization and low light is very important to me. So we are talking about a $1800price increase if I go with the a7siii, do I really need that though? Help me out.!
Its interesting that when we usually talk about skin tones, its typically in reference to Caucasian skin. I'd really like see a comparison of camera colors with models who are Indian, Native American, Black, Asian, Middle Eastern etc. Let's see what these cameras do with different skin tones across the board. It think that would offer a more realistic, accurate picture of how skin tones are handled by each camera. (Of course that maybe difficult during Covid, but just something we need to see...sometime)
Certainly there is a reason why caucasions are used as models. Color tones are easier to notice. Vs on someone who's skin color is brown or coffee black. Especially in bright to low light conditions. Now if you are going to test sensor capability. In low to very low light conditions. Then including people who's skin color. That is brown trough coffee black. Alongside white, red and yellow would be perfect.
Thank you I have been searching for a7siii skin tone content that show people with melanin and have really struggled to find anything of quality!
The colors can vary from lens to lens. Did you use the same lenses?
he didn't
Thank you, literally the only comment on here pointing out one of the biggest factors
I keep finding that s-log, even in the hands of people that know what they’re doing, looks worse than c-log. I still preferred the Canon colors on the 709 profiles in most of the shots, but the Sony colors looked good and close enough that it wouldn’t really sway me either way in terms of buying a camera.
I'm not sure how my screen is calibrated but i definately liked the canon colours by far and I shoot sony!
The image stabilization is much better with camera A, so because of that, this is my winner. The color differences are not that significant for me.
I found A always had better/natural color spectrum/resolving in the images, and the B has always had either green or magenta over-tones which looked lacking wider color-spectrum, (i,e resolving image into a narrower color spectrum with these over-tone shades).....that said color preferences are subject to personal perception of the image/scene....... Big thanks to Max for this beautiful experiment as it helps my own decision in future as am not yet committed to either system......
I felt the same way, even though I am a Sony shooter 😄
To me, it's the lens and quality of light that affects the colors more. I noticed a big bump in image quality after I bought my first decent lens. I think it has to be the coatings that help absorb light better.
Sometimes I would shoot on my A7iii and just shake my head as to how the image could look so bad but after watching a number of videos online I have a feeling the Sony sensors really don't handle mixed lighting conditions that well. I mean in some shots it looked great but others just plain awful where the canon didn't seem to have this issue
what is that last set on the Sony camera? Looks from a cellphone.. and everything is green, and is supposed to be corrected.
Probably bad white balance with non-full spectrum lights. The green is likely more true to the actual scene, but not very attractive (unless you're going for that look- see the film Collateral)
Sony’s skin tones always lean on green/yellow green. And when it comes to grass and trees I know it’s sony when it looks too green, or mustard green, sometimes neon green. Canon’s green is more subdued and leans to warmer side
My result : Canon EOS R5 (9) and Sony A7SIII (3)... Yep, didnt expect the lowlight would be much better for R5 than the A7SIII, and no I am not both brand user. Just here looking at the footage for comparison :D
Definitely liked the R5 the best. Both in standard profile and in LOG. Can you test more in depth high ISO performance? Up to 25600 at least?
wow.. i was a A7S and A7SII user .. still am.. but definitely prefer canon colors on all those shots.. almost got the a7siii changed my mind 😅
Result like expected, i prefer the Canon. Thanks for this tests !
[1st group] A (both good), B (neither good), B (definite preference), B (both good), [2nd group] B (better sky), A (both good), A (both good), B (both good), [3rd group], B (more real), B (more neutral), A (more saturated), A (better hue). The problem with a test like this for me is that an hour later I will change my mind on at least some of them. I have never felt compelled to only look at things one way.
Woooo, i wrote my results and I didn't pat attention to the pattern that i was following lol.
I chose A 9 times, 2 of them were even ( 5 and 11 i think both were as good to not pick any above the other, and i liked Sony better only in the second shot.
The Sony gives a more saturated image straight out of the camera i guess, but i noticed a green ish hue to the skin and that's why i kept choosing the more pink healthy ish skin tone.
In the waterfall shot i could have chosen B, but i thought it was too saturated already, that's the only one I'd switch.
Overall, i like Canon colors better, i have a M50 and i barely shoot with it, but I'm very glad that it has the tones i like the most 😁
The first time I looked through these images I was concentrating on skin tones. In the blind test I picked Canon 7 times---and every time I picked Canon it was preferring the skin tones. Three images seems a kind of wash--both looked fine I couldn't absolutely prefer one to the other...but....
now I've been going through looking closely at every thing else---close looks at skies, contrasts, naturalistic looking colors and tones, color tints, weird polluted colors and I've got to say I'm shocked at what I am seeing.
Sony skies: totally weird and unnatural looking. Bizarre. There is no true yellows---tons of weird greenishness in the little girl's slide, and the yellow traffic block the boy was sitting on---NOT yellow. Sony has managed to tint it green. The boy's car---the bizarre purple throughout---really weird and unnatural looking.
Sony skies---weird, and looks unnatural, painted on by some artist who has no talent. At 5:56 note Sony all shot through with some weird yellow tint---all over the sky as well.
I was seriously thinking about the Sony---and their improved colors-. Yea, maybe they're better (how could they be worse???--they're, hands down, the worst of all the companies for color)....but I have to agree with Carlos Quintero: their color science? Very unsettled, even now in late 2020. At times it looks unnatural to me--painted on, and at other times, like with the greenish slide/traffic concrete thing, or crazy tinted skies..it just looks like bizarro world.
I saw a real world comparison in back to back videos on Park Cameras in virtually identical circumstances with the same model--really pretty gal; great subject for skin tones and shadow fall-offs, etc.
The comparison was accidental, because the videos were simply placed next to each other in the Park Cameras youtube production, so it was only natural to watch them both and make the comparison----especially if you're considering buying a new camera.
The first video was the A7sIII, the second? The new Panasonic S5.
I watched them closely several times. Picked up the phone, cancelled my pre-order for the A7sIII and ordered the S5 instead.
Yes, Sony now has a 10 bit 422 video camera, and, as always, the bells and whistles they try to draw you in with----but NO MORE! After really looking at Park Cameras videos and your video---NO MORE!
Maybe Sony people and fan boys (and girls) find it all exciting...but, it's really ho-hum.
Blackmagic Design, far superior color, Panasonic GH5 and Killer 6k S1H---422, anamorphic, DCI, 10 bit, RAW, high bit rates, waveforms, synchro-scan---all that and a lot more has been going on for several years now.
Sony's not innovating.
They're still behind the curve, and still with those "make your own color profile" color profiles...and hard to grade versions of Log. Better menus...yes. It's only taken YEARS for them to respond to that. But still Canon/Panasonic, Blackmagic---almost every one has better menus and ergonomic button layouts.
NO more of Sony's iron pyrite for me.
Heck, give me a G9, an EF to MFT speed booster, with 10 bit 422, waveform, class leading stabilization, fantastic colors, anamorphic, V-log...I'll have a ton of $$$ to spend on great lenses...that don't weight a ton or weight a ton, and be happy the result.
Can't shoot slow motion in the dark???
Yup. Ya got me there.
Good luck with that shooting in the dark thing. All the wedding clients have been asking for that.
i actually scored a draw on the end, mainly because i liked the canon's log results way better. the greenish tint of the sony is just way too apparent on those night shots. on the daytime shots it really depends - i found the skin colors on the canon to be more natural and better looking, while the landscape shots (especially with a lot of green) looked much better on the sony.
the good thing though is that, now that the a7s III does 10 bit, you don't need to be afraid to get ugly artifacts and color shifts if you want to change it in post.
Canon 4 K HQ is the absolute winner to me. The colors are just warmer and not colder as i would describe the Sony A 7 S 3 footage. The overheating is no issue for me bc i normally never shoot longer than 10/15 min Videos, alone bc of the sometimes very slow rate of being able to upload to youtube. Of course you can only see the 4 K or 4 K HQ video on a Laptop or desktop and not on mobile devices
i was hoping youd switch up the shots a little. It was obvious the B was a little greener and probably the sony in every shot. I preferred it in all cases except shots 2 and 12 where the red was nicer than the green. I still hate that the sky turns out teal with sony instead of blue, i could never figure out how they keep colors pretty accurate then make the sky completely change no matter where i shoot.
I have a Sony A7iii and doing this test I realize that I like Canon color more.
My scores were A-6, B-2 and Tie-4
Similar to me
@zulfikangga Yeah, I biased towards the Canon colors that I like more. I'd still rather shoot video with the Sony, because of my bias that prefers dynamic range over out of camera color. Bias is normal dude, come to peace with yours
Great job Max for real life, outdoors comparison. I scored B-7, A-3, Tie-2.
If I was shooting a documentary, I would choose the Sony every time. I have screen with 100% RGB accuracy. The waterfall (3rd image) the Canon shows the rock face with a cold blue cast, the waterfall has lost detail, and the shadows under the trees are darker and less detailed... while the Sony waterfall mage is better is every way including colours. In the first eight images the Canon shows some faced with a little less detail (slightly blurred?). This is very odd (I trust Max got it right) as the Canon has dual pixel auto-focus and a 4K HQ image (down sampled 8K).... which should on paper match or beat the Sony but fails in these real-life tests.
The most troubling image is the last image (little Max under the street lights)... at first I gave the win to the Canon (sharper & better colours) but changed it to a tie... the Canon has made the image with "Canon colours" by typical pushing red into the skin tones but also the yellow brick has been "correct" for daylight yellow (looks unnatural)?? .... However, the Sony seems truer to life for a nighttime streetlight scene (there is a natural colour cast). I find the Canon colours tend to be over processed and are not accurate to life.
On top of this the Canon also has overheating issues with high quality modes and the Canon codecs are more CPU intensive to edit.
I shoot Canon. Good thing, I was 10/12 for Canon.
Dynamic range is better on the Sony by a significant stretch: 5:52, 6:04 details on her jacket in darker areas, 6:14 details on trees, bush and pavement, etc. You just need to add some magenta and you're set to go.
Picked B for the first two sets. Better colour and dynamic range. Then A on the last set. The last set though for the Sony looked like the profile was wrong. Why not set colour and white balance using a colour chart then go from there.
Hey mate , can u please make a comparison video of sony a7siii with bmpcc6k
I bought into the canon colors hype but I like the sony look better. Whenever I grey card I don't seem to have to change the skin tones unless the flash is mixed with continuous light or if my settings aint right
Issue i have with the canon is how they add extra white to the skin almost giving it a edited look with a almost unnatural bump in skin exposure. Yes the skin pops more but it just doesn't belong in the image
wish u had the camera settings, especially the low light... great vid
i think you should show which is richer in color by how flexible the footage go when you grade.
i think its a bit easy to identify the moment it was tested in lowlight situations. the canon colour maintains in lowlight but its a bit darker
Great video again!
Love the colors of the a7siii
Would love to see a low-light side-by-side comparison between the a7siii and the former low-light king the a7sii, especially in how the lowlight noise and details compare to each-other... is it a big improvement or not?
Yes please. This !!
About the skin tones: Canon is too magenta, Sony way too greenish. Sorry, but I think this comparsion goes to Canon.
that's cos he used the neutral color profile like I said in my comment above.
standard colors in sony give a much more true skin tone.
@@TheJadedFilmMaker Ah, okay!
Camera conspiracies is totally right Max feels like he is always trying to skew the results to what he thinks. lol. That last shot is green literally. So funny 😂
You realize he bought three A73s and said he's probably gonna sell his r5????
Also, does color science apply to the jpegs or the raw files?
BABA BBBB BBBA Sony killed it and I was shocked. Have always though Canon was the king of color. However lens plays a role in this as well. Nice vid thanks
I think you like the more saturated shots more, i got 9 Canon, 2 even, and just 1 Sony shot, in the slide shot i thought it should be yellow and not green, that's why i chose A. I thought he would mix them up so i was actually choosing the ones i liked, didn't pay attention to the pattern.
Ugh so frustrating. It’s literally the only reason I still shoot Canon. Sony has the better specs and bodies but they take so much work even in stills that its just not worth it 😂
Thanks max, made me feel better for not keeping my a7siii preorder. The “new” colors really almost had me. 😨 Canon ship the r5’s
R5 will overheat though. I am waiting for c70 cinema camera
Fortune Finder crazy Canon can’t do 4K without overheating in a camera that can do stills🤷
Yup, i'm in the same boat. Love the Sony tech.. but hate their color science. So much work to make it look nice.
@@RockyMaiviaMiami the sony can do stills
They can do it,. Canon crippled r5 intentionally for their c70 and c50,.
Thats why I hate Canon so much,. But still I don't know why I'm still using Canon,.
Sometimes I'm really jealous about Sony and nikon camera specs for its price,.
I feel canon over pricing their cameras,.
Well the technology is great now,. You'll never go wrong now on each brand,.
Just find the brand you loved the most,.
Drastic difference in the Power Wheels shot with the car color! Which is most correct?
Up up down down left right left right b a start
Au au
I was able to spot the Canon immediately, on all the profiles. The difference between the two LOG quality is seen in the last scene at night, with the green skin tones. That exaggeration shows the problem that exists even in normal light, just a bit less. The only way to get good color out of a Sony is via HLG3, rec709 color mode, -1 saturation, Detail -7. Then, color grading it is much easier.
It was pretty clear that Cam A was the Canon. Especially in the log-conversions you could see the differences. Sony has much more of a greenish tint. Personally, I like the Canon colours much better, except for the portrait of your wife (?) in Neutral, the Canon was too red in that one...
agreed!
2:10 there's a huge difference in the blue sky.
Can you please tell what was the original colour?
I was like.. BBBB and then BBBA and then AAAA - my neighbours are complaining cuz im yelling :(
exactly the same
Canon colors for sure .. Sony dynamic range.. also for sure.
Canon: shooting ease and better experience experience
I preferred the Cannon. I didn’t expect it honestly, I thought familiarity with my Sony would’ve wired my brain to like it more out of familiarity. But it was a fairly close battle at 7v5
Pick a custom WB off the same grey target like a passport checker so the white balance is actually the same between the cameras and you’re not look at a difference of white balance
I assumed each picture would be randomized as to which camera was A or B (some reviewers do that). Thinking that way I spent a few minutes on each picture without consideration of what came before. I had a sense of which was which but wasn't sure. Many seemed too close to call which was best... (so subjective), but I picked a winner regardless. Group one split 50/50; B, A, B, A. Group two(Neutral) all B. Group three (Slog3 vs CLog) all A. So it ended up dead even for me, though the Canon R5 is the winner because I'd be using the CLog and grading it. I was quite surprised with the night scenes; I thought the Sony would be sharper.
Please expert, is Combining S-Gamut3.Cine with S-Log3 a good idea? that is what I saw from another of Max's videos but I am not sure if that is the best option or just use gamut3
Hi Max. I chose A on 12 out of 14. So all of the Neutral and Slog were A. Only the 2nd and 4th (in out of the box) did I pick B. I look at two things: 1) are the whites pure in any light or is there a hint of green? 2) Do the skin tones look perfect or do they have a touch (a kiss) of green or are they sunburned rosy look? BTW, I want to buy your NX1. ) Fletch
Canon gets the big win for portrait.... Sony still has yet to fix the yellow/green cast, hopefully it's easy to correct post
Nice comparison. But let's be honest. We don't use the pictures or videos out of camera. You tweak them in lightroom or PS, or Premiere or Final Cut. I guess you can match them up in post almost identical that you cannot tell which camera is which cause they look the same.
Only difference might be dynamic range and noise. Or more advanced stuff like rolling shutter and all the things like that.
I suspected A was the Canon from the beginning.The Sony footage looks more yellow. The more important question is which is more realistic? This is something only Max can tell us.
DOES A7S III CAN SHOOT DCI 4K EXTERNALLY WITH NINJA V ????
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
Now to start. A by a mile with the exception of the water scene around 3:55. I actually wonder if those were mislabeled.
I have to say that i like the pictures of the R 5 better than the S 3, bc the colors are without much tweaking so much richer. But on the hand i have to admit that i have smaller hands and shorter fingers, which means that i would feel more comfortable having to hold the S 3 than the R 5 in my hands. As soon as the extrem amount of covid cases go down in California i will go to a Best Buy to see how they both compared feel then i hold them in my hands. One question for you Max is the Canon RF 27/70 2.8 roughly the same size as the similar Sony G Master lens. That could maybe be the deciding difference in which camera i will choose
off topic, @Max can you please make a comparison video between Sony ZV-1 and iPhone 12 when it comes out? Thank you for the great content! 🙏🏻
Set 1 - all B; Set 2 - BABA; Set 3 - All A. I was looking at natural color density, white balance.
The Canon has simply the warmer colors / higher contrast between warm and cooler colors. I know that a lot of you tubers say that you can make the Sony A 7 S III look like the Eis R 5, but how much extra time, per video will this take you.....the decision will come up for me in Summer then i have to make the decision. What makes my decision making tougher is that i will need a 3 camera set up, and for that both of theses cameras plus a more budget friendlier can era, but which makes videos of a similar Quality like the Lumix S 5 will be pricey. Max what would be your advice as which camera too choose. Just so you know it will be a music production, gear reviews covers, centric channel ?
Interesting, I got consistently like Sony in the Standard profile. But Consistently liked Canon in the Neutral profile and C-log.
My vote is canon, but you can't go wrong with either. The greens are very consistent on canon, however, when I edit sony footage I find it easier to grade.
There reason that sony has alot of noise in low light because you’re not overexposed it when shoot in slog. It should at least overexposed +2 stop to remove the noise in the shadows.
BBTA BATA AAAA
T means tie.
Clog really surprised me!
I’m a Sony user. just got my S3 yesterday, and i plan to shoot slog3 all the time, but now i am more confused... Gee...
i have a BMPCC4K too, i feel it always has a magenta shift, while Sony has green tint shift(seems less on S3 than older cameras).
Guess i will use BlackMagic for portrait, and Sony for landscape. Or just try to grade both to match Fuji colour.
Nice test! Thank you for doing this. Keep doing this plz~
Biggest difference I noticed from the start and the reason I picked the Canon shots out right away was the clarity and slightly sharper colors. The Sony pictures appeared to have a very slight haze compared to Canon.
I went with B, crisp, better color, except the last set A was the clear winner!
6 for both! I predicted which one was the Sony as it seemed to always have a green tinge to everything.
exactly the same
Wow, didn't expect the R5 to look better in low light! I picked B for test 1-8 then A for the last 4. I suspect with further tweaking though the slog could look better than shown here. Would have been nice to see some low light test in the first two profiles.
cool vid 🤟.
although... being a sony shooter too
I could instantly tell before you said it you used the neutral colours. THOSE are the ones that give that historically pronounced sony 'look'. ie the skin goes a bit yellow or green.
on no picture profile I use STANDARD and the skin tones are much much better.
(I do other tricks for cine profiles too but perhaps I'll make my own video for that )
Hey I am a Photographer and Cinematographer, I shoot sports with the a6400 would we be able to talk my Instagram is @mtruproductions
Both look fantastic on their own. However, I preferred the Canon 9 out of 12 times. I nearly chose the Canon on the landscape shot because it was more neutral but preferred the Sony for the warmer WB. In general it seemed most of the Sony clips had a green cast to them.
Thanks for making this comparaison. It confirme my experience using canon and Sony dsrl : under natural light they are both pretty close (envie though I found that Sony skin tones has a bit more green) but under artificial light (boy at night) this were you see how canon color shines for skin tones
It's so easy to know which one is what. Since i shoot both systems i can see the difference. Sony have a green tint and canon magenta, and on canon at least on skin tone is so good but on sony not that much and even how much you try in post there is still that little green cast that you can't get rid off. I've saw and on other reviewers aswell
A looks better to me, specially for skin tones & the dog scene. He looked more true to life (brown, redish) than the B cam which he looked yellowish to greenish color.
Max, Will you keep any of this camera for your own production. If yes. which one would you keep it?
Yea. 3 A7S3’s are here for good!
@@MaksimYuryev i ordered 1 s3 just because I have too many glasses. It is arriving tomorrow. I will make a review as well. However, I also like Canon R5 because it gives you 45megas for great landscape photoshoots. The only downside is overheating. this is why went to sony again.
3:51, Easy two is the A7Siii because of the dynamic range. It's so much better.
One through eight are the deciders here, and I chose "B" for all eight. On the last four graded shots, I chose "A". Nice work Max.
Any choose , both look alright
A 1,2 / 6,8 / 9,10,11,12
B 3,4 / 5,7 /
I preferred either camera until log applied. I always found green tint on skins, and always preferred R5 over a7S III. I also preferred bluer sky from Canon files.
