Really appreciate the effort you took to make this test meaningful, great model, location, shooting on the two cams. That's a ton of work and effort that it took to film and edit this and the footage from both cameras look amazing. For me, as a long time Canon user and also current FX6 owner, I have no horse in the game, I have both brands, but my C200s and C300 MKII are much older tech than the C400, but my observations are here that the Sony footage looks more "filmic" a bit softer and more cinematic in a good way. The 6K C400 to me, here, looks overly detailed and more digital video looking. Not bad but I prefer less sharpness and detail. The skin tones on the FX6 aren't bad with your grade but overall, I still find the Canon colors more pleasing, particularly her skin tones and the golden hour backlight. I bought my FX6 in July and it was a great business decision, it's much more in demand in my market, but if I was buying today and my client base wasn't so Sony on the brain, I'd buy the C400 in a heartbeat, it's shaping up to be a real winner for Canon. But in the world of freelancing, good luck on breaking the Sony single minded obsession and I freelance for quite a bit of my income. I think anyone would say that both cameras look amazing and that you and your team did some great work here. Thank you for posting this, excellent work.
@@danbrockettDOP thank you for that kind insight. I’ve noticed the market or clients that know cameras prefer the Sony over the canon. Both have unique looks to them it boils down to preference. I too like a softer look like you say.
Your C400 reviews have been really helpful and informative!!! I have been shooting docs for almost 15 years and i got my EOS R6 when i made my third Doc in 2021. Still used it on my last Doc which i just finished, it's been a workhorse for me, and i have been a Canon guy my whole life. I am gearing up for a huge shoot in Australia and it time to upgrade. Thanks to you I made my decision and i am going to be picking up C400 plus the full rig out, as my A cam, and a C80 for my B Cam, with the full rig and for quick running and gunning. I love canon, I love the color, i can always tell a Canon from a Sony. Thanks for the comparison video. There was a short period when i considered the FX9 / Fx3 combo (after the Creator came out) but with the C400 /C80 i will be all set for a long time to come. I tend to stick with gear until it breaks or becomes to obsolete. Thanks again for an informative video.
Bro a R6 owner here, I make travel docs, the R6 is a freaking monster, lately I’m having issues with the overheating specially in my current trip in Southeast Asia, how you address that ??
@@eliovisita I hear you. When I first got my R6 Rig in 2021 I had heard about the overheating. So I got the Atomos Ninja V - while expensive, it solves the overheating problem completely and gives me a high quality Pro-Res. 422 image - also with those big 500G SSds I can shoot all day. I rigged y Cannon RP the same way. It's also nice to have that larger monitor. Another trick is to keep the screen open when shooting video, it definitely helps cool the camera. I hope that helps.
@@inframe-brooklyn993 I’m glad I could help here. I feel the same way about canon v Sony. At one point I considered Sony as well. So far I’m very happy with the c400.
Great comparison! Keep it up Been using my FX6 for a lot of different situations and this is one of the best options ever made. It supports now the Blackmagic RAW. Tbh, this kind of comparison nowadays is an arms race with no clear winner, because at the end of the day, it’s all about your creativity and skills to use tools properly to get the result. Thanks for your video and best of luck!
@@aubakeerov that’s very well put! I heard about that raw option coming to Sony. Very nice. Creativity > then technical details. We all have so many options now days and you don’t necessarily need a 2-3 person crew running a cinema camera these days allowing us to focus on creating 🎥 Thanks for the kind insight.
All the footage is amazing. When the C400 reel showed came up I immediately thought the Canon was much more pleasing and technically better, but after watching the entire video, overall maybe FX6 due “softness” and cinematic feel? This is all so highly subjective. I prefer clean and downgrade in post rather than cinematic and try to get it sharper in post - which to me would be much harder. Overall all though, they’re both amazing. The operator and post is more important. I think we’re finally at a stage where the prowess of the operator, DP or what have you is more important, all else equal. The equipment is not the limiting factor [vs the competition]. Furthermore, maybe the feature set of the equipment and overall package is more important in these times now? In the is case the C400 by a country mile? Either way, great times and competition is good!
@@heikogehrig thanks for the insight. I’ve noticed a shift in what people prefer in terms of visuals. Sharper and crisp being more the preference. That could be iPhones fault. You make some interesting and valid points. I think in a few years what we closed to consider cinematic will be entirely different. The story and person behind the camera are definitely the biggest factor. I’m just really happy to have autofocus on a camera like this honestly.
i noticed that also but i think that was due to the lens choices. c400 was shot on a wider lens and the fx6 was more telephoto so you got more depth of field and a different more cinematic composition.
also, i could be wrong but it looks like 2 different people filmed with each camera. composition was on point with the fx6. no offense if there was a different camera operator on the c400.
I liked the FX6 footage better but I'm sure that's due to using different NLE's. They both looked great though. The photos you took with the R5II were fantastic! I'm guessing you used the 85mm? A big difference too was the shot of you guys standing there holding the different cameras and just how nice and compact that Canon setup is.
Such a shame there isn’t a cfexpress slot on the C80, C400 is way out of my price range.. sorry if I missed it but what lenses were you using on the C400 please?
@@kashifswaynerobinson it’s got a softer cinematic look here. In a previous video we did a test against the c70 where the fx6 looked sharper more commercial like on a cinematic project.
@@TJIzzy yeah, I mentioned that the previous video, I should of mentioned here too. I used a variety of settings, WB, and iso base, because this was my first time playing with it besides one wedding I filmed with it. This video was just a creative exercise not necessarily a montage with any sort of continuity. But noted. Future projects of course would account for things like WB.
Great work and very interesting to see that they both look so good. If I saw them separately I couldn't tell. I didn't get the impression that C400 would be sharper (I looked at it on Eizo 4k screen). Maybe Canon has a tad sort of softer rendering of the high lights and skin tone... maybe its the grading. Hard to say. I would be happy with either camera. But heavy to work with raw. Do customers really notice it?
@@martinekwall4671 thank ya. I’m new to filming in raw. I’ve filmed 2 weddings using c raw. I notice a difference in the colors but I doubt many people would notice 10 but vs 12. People have commented they only use raw in color heavy scenes, especially sunsets. Less banding.
some of the C400 shots look really nice like at 1:55 and better than all of the FX6 shots, but some of them look like they were shot 3 stops under and brought up in the grade like at 2:22 where the colour is way off... think you need to work on your exposure a bit, or the camera has a busted sensor.. either way keep em coming :) edit - ok watched the second half of the video my bad, I think your grading is fine when you're shooting with decent light, I prefer those shots to the sony by far, the footage looks more organic and less plasticky/digital (i've owned both a C70 and FX3, this is consistent with the canon v sony image), but yeah trying to match 12800 minimal light shots against golden hour shots will never end well
@@louie8488 thanks for the input. That sums up my frustration with grading this footage. The sunset vs blue hour footage was a challenge. It also told me I’ll probably think twice before going into 12,800 ISO. It’s very possible I missed the exposure on some shots as well. Not to sound like I did everything with intention, but part of me was thinking, if I am filming in raw I want to see what all I can bring back in post both in my highlights and shadows. I was impressed the details I could bring back out of the sky (highlights).
To me the FX6 image looks better with the photolens. Where the C400 seems to shine (based on other comparisons) is its crispiness combined with cine lenses.
Man that canon footage immediately stood out to me! Great colors and So sharp! Sony still looked Great but occasionally kinda bland in comparison.. although I can say the Sony footage looked a little “thicker” or more textured. Really can’t go wrong with any of Them. I love my c70 but the auto focus is just not very good. I’ll probably get the c80 or c400.
@@avx111 I’m playing around with that. I try to keep it at the base of 800 or 3200 if I have to obviously, but some people have suggested setting base iso to 3200 then going back down to 800 for a cleaner image.
It’s a toss up both cameras are really good. This makes me feel like I can hold on to my fx6 for another 4 years if it hangs in there with a new camera. Good content
@@eyecreatereality226 honestly I think you could. That fx6 is great. I just wanted a few features my c70 didn’t have, like a full frame. I probably woulda got the c80 had they announced it at the same as the c400. Canon got me lol, but I’m glad I went with it.
@@AlexanderJawfoxAlex thats the thing to worry about if you think long term . Yes c80 is 5,500 compared to 8k but cf express are cheaper than 256 gb sd cards v90 300mb which you need to operate the 6k function. You spending 190-250 depending on brand . Same price youll get a cf express 1tb card minimum 512 . Moral of the story. It will all be the same if not more since you’ll be needing to buy more cards that are flimsy. ! Smh 😩😩 plus i have a r5c, r5 ii and r5 and a sony z. Ill figure it out in the next 6 months. Gives me Time to save up for the c400 or have extra money left over .
Love the videos man ! Quick question, I also do wedding videography and I shoot in 4k 60p on a R5 - 35mm f1.8 + Ronin rs3 pro and deliver all the highlight videos on 50% slowmotion,,, I just pre order the c80 and I'm a little worry about the autofocus for couples, specially for the ceremony or entrances when people tent to be nervouse and walk super fast straight to the camera and also how heavy it might be to carry all day? Thank you keep it up with the video con comparison for sure !
@@RS1925 thank you. And I think that would be a great wedding combo. An R5 with the C80. My C70 lives on the RS3 now and while it doesn’t have the AF of the c400 it’s still very functional. The c80 would be even better with autofocus. So I think you’ll be good. Congrats on the purchase. 🎥
The c400 footage was amazing 🔥 what phantom lut did you use? And no noise reduction? The raw seems very clean compared to the R5C raw which is noisy as he’ll
Sorry bro, one more question.. do you know if the C80 in 4K 60fps has the same sharp quality from the 6K oversample as shooting 24fps or 30fps ? I think it lowers the quality at 120fps
@@RS1925 no problem man. I believe at 120fps xfavc isn’t a codec option. You drop down to HEVC and you’ll be at 4k. But on the C400 you can shoot 6k 60fps so c80 should as well.
What lens did u use at 51 second on fx6? It looks so nice. To my eyes fx6 looks better more cinematic I just feel . I might be wrong but i feel like fx6 lil better but u gotta have the eye tho lol. Which lens on the fx6
@@AlexanderJawfox while editing. seems like i can't stretch the image like how i can with the FX3. I would pay good money to see how you color graded this shoot here! 🙏🏽
@@mathewallen555 I preordered the day it was announced in June (2024). Canon got me by announcing the c80 a month or so later. I decided to keep the order and got it two weeks ago. I ordered from B&H
Be carefull not to compare RAW footage to XF-AVC footage too much. The XF-AVC has build in noise reduction and are always a little less sharp than RAW is. But RAW has noise that you first have to remove in post.. They are both really good looking though I find. cool video.
@@baekmedier For sure. we did have that conversation prior to shooting, my concern at the time was my xfavc files weren’t loading in fcpx. Since that’s been fixed though.
@@moussasah2710 I love his color grading I think he beats me skill wise right now. The footage from the canon though was really crisp by comparison. I just need to grow into the camera and learn it.
I apologize, but all Canon cameras, including the 400, suffer from the same issue: they look overly digital, almost like a broadcast camera or a scene from a Spanish soap opera. Don’t get me wrong, they have a clean and beautiful look, and as a Canon shooter myself, I appreciate their color science, especially in photography. However, when it comes to video, Canon cameras lack that rich, cinematic texture you find with RED, ARRI, Blackmagic, or even higher-end Sony models like the FX6 and FX9. Even with the stunning footage from the video above, it’s clear that Canon falls short of delivering that coveted cinematic feel. It’s not a question of lighting or timing-your work in capturing and color grading was phenomenal. It’s simply a limitation of Canon. You can use a cinematic lens, set up perfect lighting, and push the color grade to its limits, but the result will still look digital. Canon offers great color, no doubt, and some people love that aesthetic-but calling these cameras ‘cinema’ is a stretch.
@@patricioderito3722 that’s some good insight. Thank you. That is an issue I proposed in my previous video, a digital look on the c400. Some say embrace the new times, others say stick to a more traditional look. The one thing I’ve found about canon is it’s the jack of all trades (to me). Red is pretty niche and Sony has for greater advantage. But Canon gave me touch screen auto focus, and internal raw on as a one person crew on wedding films and commercial jobs which is how I was able to afford the camera in the first place with cameras like the R5, and C70. Red cameras are great if you got 2-3 ppl ready to use them on set/location. I think the biggest issue is in post because in my previous video with the c70 v the fx6 it was the Sony that looked too digital. But it could all boils down to our own eye and preferences too in this changing time of media and how we view it.
@@AlexanderJawfoxthats why i stick to my c70‘s, even though the better af would be a great improvement to me as a solo filmmaker. When i show my footage to my client the most likely say it looks like a Netflix movie…
@@AlexanderJawfox I have to disagree with the comment avobe. The FX6 looked way more digital to my eyes. That said, the C400 still doesn't beat how organic the C70 makes things look.
@@brunoshoes864I’ve always thought the same myself. Sony cinema cameras have always seemed overly sharp and digital looking compared to Canon cinema cameras.
Sony never did nail their colour science and to this day, it still looks awful. Canon on the other hand? As an Arri user, nothing gets closer to what Arri gives me, than Canon. Come on Sony, you're playing catch up still. Terrible skin tones in particular.

I just feel .
I might be wrong but i feel like fx6 lil better but u gotta have the eye tho lol.
Which lens on the fx6
@@sarazinosarazino557 that was the Sony 24-70 2.8
C 400 looks very like 😊
Thanks again guys 👗✨️
@@ivylightsey thank you for working with us! It’s always a pleasure 📸🎥
We want moreee !!!
@@JeffHanesworld more on the way ❤️🎥
Do you ever notice the decrease in quality when editing the FX6 in FCPX??
@@joshnachoz I haven’t noticed that. You mean after exporting? Or while editing?
@@AlexanderJawfox while editing. seems like i can't stretch the image like how i can with the FX3. I would pay good money to see how you color graded this shoot here! 🙏🏽
@@joshnachoz the Sony fx3 was edited on resolve in this video.
Fx6*
I'm just curious how you got your hands on a C400... BH and Adorama show it back/pre order until like Xmas.
@@mathewallen555 I preordered the day it was announced in June (2024). Canon got me by announcing the c80 a month or so later. I decided to keep the order and got it two weeks ago. I ordered from B&H
@@AlexanderJawfox Dang, I knew I shoulda pre-ordered. Nice vids!
@@mathewallen555 thank you! And If you ordered in august hopefully you’ll be getting it in the next month or so, but December isn’t too far away.
Be carefull not to compare RAW footage to XF-AVC footage too much.
The XF-AVC has build in noise reduction and are always a little less sharp than RAW is. But RAW has noise that you first have to remove in post..
They are both really good looking though I find. cool video.
@@baekmedier For sure. we did have that conversation prior to shooting, my concern at the time was my xfavc files weren’t loading in fcpx. Since that’s been fixed though.
@@AlexanderJawfox ahhh yeah make sense.
Great job ? The winner for you Alexander ?
@@moussasah2710 I love his color grading I think he beats me skill wise right now. The footage from the canon though was really crisp by comparison. I just need to grow into the camera and learn it.
@@AlexanderJawfoxwhy not use the same color on both cameras?
@@ryanpallotta5 we were both around 5600k
Guess the cat is doing some unboxing :D
@@JoATTech haha yeah it was playing with a dome diffuser and making a bunch of ruckus.
DR on the c400 is higher for sure but the fx6 image looks better somehow. The colors are right and the contrast is just right.
@@adnan_velic yeah fx6 is softer I feel like. The C70 is softer than the fx6. Next video like this I’ll use a pro mist filter.
C400 good
I believe if comparing the Fx6 with C70 Will be Justice and equality it’s almost 4 years since released It is unfair to compare with C80
I don’t think the shadows look as good on the fx6 you can’t see a lot of detail in it
@@ryanpallotta5 yeah the c400 had a slight advantage in dynamic range I think and autofocus.
Canon is better fot me
I apologize, but all Canon cameras, including the 400, suffer from the same issue: they look overly digital, almost like a broadcast camera or a scene from a Spanish soap opera. Don’t get me wrong, they have a clean and beautiful look, and as a Canon shooter myself, I appreciate their color science, especially in photography. However, when it comes to video, Canon cameras lack that rich, cinematic texture you find with RED, ARRI, Blackmagic, or even higher-end Sony models like the FX6 and FX9.
Even with the stunning footage from the video above, it’s clear that Canon falls short of delivering that coveted cinematic feel. It’s not a question of lighting or timing-your work in capturing and color grading was phenomenal. It’s simply a limitation of Canon. You can use a cinematic lens, set up perfect lighting, and push the color grade to its limits, but the result will still look digital. Canon offers great color, no doubt, and some people love that aesthetic-but calling these cameras ‘cinema’ is a stretch.
@@patricioderito3722 that’s some good insight. Thank you. That is an issue I proposed in my previous video, a digital look on the c400. Some say embrace the new times, others say stick to a more traditional look. The one thing I’ve found about canon is it’s the jack of all trades (to me). Red is pretty niche and Sony has for greater advantage. But Canon gave me touch screen auto focus, and internal raw on as a one person crew on wedding films and commercial jobs which is how I was able to afford the camera in the first place with cameras like the R5, and C70. Red cameras are great if you got 2-3 ppl ready to use them on set/location. I think the biggest issue is in post because in my previous video with the c70 v the fx6 it was the Sony that looked too digital. But it could all boils down to our own eye and preferences too in this changing time of media and how we view it.
@@AlexanderJawfoxthats why i stick to my c70‘s, even though the better af would be a great improvement to me as a solo filmmaker. When i show my footage to my client the most likely say it looks like a Netflix movie…
@@AlexanderJawfox I have to disagree with the comment avobe. The FX6 looked way more digital to my eyes. That said, the C400 still doesn't beat how organic the C70 makes things look.
@@brunoshoes864I’ve always thought the same myself. Sony cinema cameras have always seemed overly sharp and digital looking compared to Canon cinema cameras.
Sony never did nail their colour science and to this day, it still looks awful.
Canon on the other hand? As an Arri user, nothing gets closer to what Arri gives me, than Canon.
Come on Sony, you're playing catch up still. Terrible skin tones in particular.
such bad test,. different lights + RAW vs mov.... this is sheeetttyy..... comparison ........
FX6 looks better
@@unclejezza some shots catch my eye on the fx6 for sure.
The Sony footage held its on period.
@@simplelightmedia for sure. There are clear advantages to the c400 but for the price of the Sony it may be a choice that makes sense.
