Watching this in 2019, still a great combination for videography.

@abelincoln3196 9 лет назад

Dude i was LMAO when he was dancing around in front of the camera, giving those looks like "not bad".

@FabricioMurta 10 лет назад

The body and the lens at the moment are my dream consumer.

@oblomoffood 11 лет назад

thanks for a lot of tests. Its much usefull than other reviews when only bla-bla-bla.

@buildshow 11 лет назад

Super Helpful! Great image quality, and the focus which is my biggest issue seems a world better than the competition. Thanks for posting! Best, Matt

@sheltonminor9881 9 лет назад

Great job, I am sold on this camera and I have been a Pro Photog for over 30 years, using a Nikon.

@TheTroubledTurtle 11 лет назад

your photography is beautiful and your editing and choice of music are the small things that make videos like this outstanding. Good job Blunty :)

@iggygeeproductions 10 лет назад

I got one the other day as I'm starting my first official project. To me the worst thing is an almost great shot that is ruined by lack of focus. That is a thing of the past. The 70D pulls focus very naturally, not distracting. On my 6 foot crane its invaluable. On my steadycam Jr. it's amazing, Who can hold one of those things with one hand and focus with the other? Friend shoots weddings so goes with the 6D because of the VERY low light he shoots in. Dual pixel full frame soon, you think?

@atopalian 10 лет назад

Blunty what codec did you use to get this footage? I know canon h.264 mov files are dramatically compressed. How did you get this quality in you shots? Also do you use FCPX and what basic settings do you use both on your camera and editing software. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

$ 1,349.00 at Digidirect right now. I don't speculate on price drops.

@kidcochiese 8 лет назад

Excellent video, Thanks for taking the time to make it.. Looks like Canon sold one more 70D !!

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

Yes, of course... I'll be giving the kit lens a full work over too. (which is easier now I've got a baseline to compare it to, from the excellent sigma).

@ЭтоДрючинский 10 лет назад

Oh, sharpness, where did you go from Canon)

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

If by "yellowy" (not a word by the way) you mean it has a warm colour cast, then yes, that's deliberate... I usually shoot with the white balance configured to the warm side because I think a cooler setting makes things look a bit stale.

@puddingineenbakje 10 лет назад

at 4:30 it just looks so boss that you are standing there. I don't know why. maybe the music? It just looks so cool!

@ChintyaLeonardo 7 месяцев назад

Oh wowww it's 10years ago but u already made an AESTHETIC VIDEO 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

Indeed, it was a pleasant little stroke of fortune stumbling across such a pretty car while testing a camera and a wide angle lens :) (The Merc people had some kind of event or press thing going on at circular quay today)

@MaxwellMaxwin 10 лет назад

This a great review but something IMPORTANT should be added! Everyone planning to buy a Canon EOS70D mainly for filming using its great new autofocus feature should know that very ANNOYING NOISE coming from the lens will also be recorded :-( No problem when movies like this one use a background music but if you want to keep the original sound (family moments, events, concerts, theater or whatsoever) be aware that you will have a very annoying noise coming from the lens constantly autofocusing. I don't know about this specific Sigma which could be quieter compared to others but as today, the sole reliable solution is to use Canon new STM lenses which are totally silent! Hope this comment will save you money avoiding you to buy lenses you cannot use like I did... Cheers!

@MaxwellMaxwin 10 лет назад

Actually I went today to a mall only selling digital cameras so I could try different lenses on a Canon EOS70D and in a QUIET environment. Although STM lenses are making no noise at all, the Sigma introduced above by Blunty is VERY quiet compared to old Canon IS and even other good brands like Tamron... The noise of the Sigma18-35mm is almost not perceptible so I even decided to buy one because better in low light compared to 18-135 STM lens. But the two have their own interest, and it is nice to even have the 2 :-) In conclusion, when video autofocusing with the 70D, Canon STM lenses=0% noise, Sigma 18-35 HSM=5% noise, Tamron=15%, but older Canon lenses like EF-S 18-200mm formerly supplied with the Canon EOS60D=80% noise and changes of focus is not smooth. So cannot be transfered on the EOS70D unless using MANUAL focus. Hope these lines will clarify the situation about lens noise while autofocusing with Canon EOS70D...

@MaxwellMaxwin 10 лет назад

Hello Henk, You really are totally right. I even have a Rode mic myself and I don't know why I don't ALWAYS use it (?) Even for quick family events or whatsoever I will now use it. Thanks for your kind recommendation. Btw, I also want to thank Blunty for his great work and mention that I am VERY satisfied with this Sigma lens. Two days ago I took pics for the Earth Day, of students lighting candles in the evening and results were amazing. So sharp and clear! And all came from the video above :-) THANK U!

@TomRipley7350 11 лет назад

A guy who reviews cameras and actually knows how to use one. Beautiful cohesive piece.

@LucAga92 10 лет назад

The sigma lens is incredible and the follow focus of the 70d is unbelivable. But what about low light situation? The follow focus still work? And the image quality is still good?

@skykink 11 лет назад

Thanks, I just got the 70D last night, and I love the fact that I can now shoot video and the camera follows the subject with AF. Certainly a game changer regarding video versus the T3i. I just need to decide what lens to use for video. I would rather have a lens with image stabilization if possible, but this lens does seemingly do quite well.

@sigridkweon 11 лет назад

I liked the sample clips. liked the whole dramatic music to it. felt like a little trip around sydney myself

@EbrahimSaadawii 11 лет назад

Autofocus is quite insane! Canon has really invented something this time. It's just eye-opening how can a large-chip camera autofocus this smoothly and accurately!

@TakeshixStudios 4 года назад

I find that vlogging I don't need the BEST camera just yet. Right now the 70d is roughly just above $450. Might just get it lol

@matthewstanley5943 10 лет назад

I have this exact combo for video shooting. It's the best for all situations that don't require too much length (zoom). I use the 3x zoom option which helps me reach out a farther when I have to. I will say though that an nd filter is a must for shallow dof in bright conditions, but for the rest (including very dark conditions) its the best! Great review as always blunty

@Wayfaringwolf 11 лет назад

You can see the issue with the fast shutter speeds, an nd filter seems essential.

@patdavidmusic 11 лет назад

It's so very pretty blunty, cracking lens

@MarshallLarkin 11 лет назад

Great music, great way to show off the cameras features. Look forward to the full review.

@southeastpacarshows 11 лет назад

This was a fantastic little review type thing. I have to say though, the C63 AMG was my favorite part. Absolutely love that car. Color combination does it so much justice too.

@neilgatpandan 11 лет назад

Oh man, I played with a brand new copy that literally hit the shelf 10 minutes before I got my hands on it! So much want for that camera!

@BVBArmyMemberForever 8 лет назад

Exactly the video I've been looking for. Thanks!

@IraqiFilms1 11 лет назад

The best quality I see from canon cameras

@RossMcgowanMaths 2 месяца назад

Yes nice quality. 10 years later I have just purchased one for my youtube videos.

@alpcns 11 лет назад

Excellent work, a pleasure to look at (and the music was beautiful too!). Keep up the great work, Blunty.

@mcrazza 11 лет назад

One word: impressive. Pretty darn impressive AF for Canon and even for a DSLR. And that lens... buttery smooth.

@TheScaryfluff 10 лет назад

Fantastic choice of music bluntly

@fanficrocks 11 лет назад

Great clip as always. An idea for a future video, can you go around the city and show some of your fav spots where you like to film or take photos ( a focus for places where iPads will shine).

@joshuawilliams8903 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video samples! Absolutely beautiful!! Moreover you're one great salesmen because you pretty much reinsured that this would be a great purchase for me

@betweenframesproduction3968 4 года назад

My 18-35mm has an ever so tiny slip on the focus ring when manually focusing... does your copy have that too? Thanks!

@TwistedLogic93 11 лет назад

That mostly has to do with the autofocus. AF sensors need a certain amount of light to work and the extender makes the effective aperture smaller so you're getting less light to the AF sensor. So the extender will work with your camera and lens, AF just probably won't work. I suggest you take the camera and lens into a camera store and ask to test it, any camera store will let you.

@trv16gel 11 лет назад

Focus of you in front of the gate was pretty impressive

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

Nope. Pumped up the shutter speed instead, most shots don't have much fast movement in them so it didn't matter.

@86Timewarp 11 лет назад

I too possess a Canon T3i as well as the 18-55mm Kit Lens. Unfortunately because of the T3i's 1.6 crop factor, you don't get the actual 18-55mm range, rather you get a focal range of 28.8-88mm lens which is a bummer. For quality, the lens does what you would expect; no serious issues like vignetting or lens blur unless your subject is really far away beyond the 88mm zone. If you can upgrade the lens, I say do it.

@mbvglider 11 лет назад

That tracking test at the 5 minute mark might have sold me a 70D.

@86Timewarp 11 лет назад

No problem. I too am a videographer and I've shot a few videos with my T3i and the manual focus on the kit lens is a pain in the arse at times. I might eventually upgrade to the 70D in a few years if the 5D Mark III doesn't go down in price.

@casablancawatch 10 лет назад

did a lot of research to decide this had the tech specs and cost level for us...it does, but your excellent test video showed best of what i could find that this could also pull off an indie film...thanks, much appreciated

@idoscharf4485 11 лет назад

Whenever I watch a video with this Sigma, I just can't help but be utterly amazed. Sorry if you said that in the video (I skipped some of the beginning to watch the footage), but in your full review, will you review the 70D with that new kit lens?

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

Yes.

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

Compared to what Canon's done before, yes. No question. Compared to other ILC's? not quite as "revolutionary"... Several Micro four thirds cameras have pretty good AF tracking, The PEN EP-5 and the GH3 for example... the more recent Sony NEX system cameras are no slouch in this area either.

@CosplayFeverBook 11 лет назад

It's way better than a rebel at higher ISOs. I have one. But no it doesn't have the detail of some other brands at lower ISOs. Still looks good to me, and is suitable for professional use in many contexts.

@skykink 11 лет назад

It fits find, but apparently the lens does not work well with an extender on a cropped camera. Check out their comments on the 1.4x III in relation to the 100-400 lens specifically mentioning the lens as not being compatible with a cropped body.

@MasticinaAkicta 11 лет назад

That new sensor is really working out well. Good to see Canon finally got what they need. That new sensor!

@jeffdjtube 11 лет назад

I tried the same kind of test with my 70D and a sigma tele lens. The focusing was great but the noise from the auto focus motors was not.

@GautamBhuyan 11 лет назад

Looks amazing, the auto focus is quick and smooth. The lens is amazingly sharp. Great video man

@Montfrooij 11 лет назад

Is that a rolling shutter effect on the top of the frame from about 9:30? Or something else messing up the alignment of the upper lines?

@CosplayFeverBook 11 лет назад

The AF is great when you need to get from A to B quickly and accurately. Tracking is pretty good but not perfect and if there's a brief obstruction, tracking fails. However, if you want the focus to be part of the story, it's too mechanical. Sometimes you want a lazier, more organic focus shift. It's a keeper for me, anyway.

@paigow66 11 лет назад

could you please do a buffer test. set to raw and tell us how many shots to fill the buffer. also be sure to turn OFF all camera adjustments, such as chromatic aberration, lens distortion and so on. basically anything that will make the camera process data which will slow it down and not really fill the buffer.

@SzerlokHelmlok 9 лет назад

*shut up and take my money*

@iCTechReviews 11 лет назад

Ah.. Sydney Botanical Gardens. Can't beat that!

@Millionairecarclub 11 лет назад

Sounds like a great option for people who do video with their DSLRs. Perhaps a game changer. I am sure this will move to the more upmarket cameras next.

@bryanfsmith 11 лет назад

This is phenomenal, best sample reel so far by far- love the artistic focus pools and your showing 50p - hope you do similar footage with kit lens - thanks, now I'm sure I want it!

@Midane85 8 лет назад

Phenomenal work Blunty!

@MrKdr500 11 лет назад

@Cosplay Fever.. why are you sorry? the question was which one (70D or 6D) would be better for video & there's more than just image quality & focus to consider here. assuming he's a beginner the 70D would be better & if he's not a beginner he would already know the answer in the first place.

@EricElsewhere 11 лет назад

it would be nice if you could control the speed of the focus. maybe have fast focus with a tap on the screen, but slower focus when you tap and hold?

@cyorkgo 7 лет назад

MMMMMMMMM Pressive........ WOW .. I am sold! Picking one up tomorrow!

@DarrenTech 11 лет назад

the focus of one flower to the next is all done with the touch screen???

@kembalsado1 11 лет назад

WOW this is great. I did not know the 70D could autofocus with other lenses. I thought full auto focus was limited to the Canon STM lenses. Thank you so much for posting.

@anthonybrowning1 11 лет назад

The auto focus is great but what good is video when it is full of aliasing and moire its in almost every shot. Thank you for the test!

@BluntyTV 11 лет назад

For my commentary; the full review is now live: watch?v=IxoURoNCBrw

@CosplayFeverBook 11 лет назад

I was merely correcting you when you said "i've sampled a 70D and the video & focusing is better the my 5D3..". The word sorry can be used as a shorthand social nicety, as in "I'm sorry that I have to correct your erroneous statement but I'm pedantic like that so here goes".

@HOTMONEYTV 10 лет назад

does a fast lens like this @1.8 need IS or does the 1.8 compensate because everyone says the lens is heavy i want this lens but the sigma 2.8 18-50 with OS is @half the price so is the 2.8 that much slower for the money if you dont want to be confined to tripod.

@NathanMillerVisuals 10 лет назад

There's no end to amazing DSLR equipment!

@PabloAM93 10 лет назад

Oh my....! I've just found my dream body-lens combo!

@MotoFotoe 11 лет назад

Great video. The Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is pretty nice, but I hope your actual review will be using what a lot of people (@least entry level) might actually buy with this camera. So either 18-55mm or the 18-135mm STM as you got with your 70D.

@tommyleong4213 11 лет назад

great combo with the sigma 18-35 f1.8

@LoveKeebuu 4 года назад

You must be good at adjusting the camera settings, bc the imagery looks wayy too good

@M1710 11 лет назад

I was going to buy the Sony NEX-6 but after I read a review over at dpreview and watched this video, I'm definitely sold on this one. Huge price difference but hopefully it will be worth it.

@86Timewarp 11 лет назад

It's an aesthetic film thing. Now I don't know if the actual footage was shot with the yellow tint intended, but most people like to add the yellow tint in post production. If the 70D does infact shot footage with said tint, it's just a matter of fixing your white balance.

@skykink 11 лет назад

As I recall, that is what they pointed out (stopping down the lens too much), but I am not sure they pointed out that it would cause the AF to not function for that reason - interesting! If you have a moment, one of the questions I need to get answered is what exactly does it buy me to get a top-of-the-line full frame camera over my 70D other than perhaps better for landscape photography. What else will the pro body buy me? Thanks.

@tptrsn 11 лет назад

On my computer screen this appears to be the best looking video I've seen you post. It's nice that you used one or two of the same places you shot with the GX7 at for a sort of comparison. At any rate, I guess I'd better go sell a car or something, I want one of these combos! Hahah.... YOU CALLED IT BLUNTY, Nice Work! Oh, do you cross post your videos on Vimeo or anything where the compression might not be so "lossy" (as RU-vid is)?

@pr1mefire 10 лет назад

Beautiful!

@tezzap8325 10 лет назад

Did you use an ND filter outdoors? Also is the 18-35 good under low light situations,for example at night indoors or out doors?

@januaryheights 9 лет назад

Great video and thank u .. but it would be great to see another video like that using the kit lenses 18-135 STM for folks like me that cannot afford to expend $800.00 plus on that awesome Sigma lense.

@PaceyPimp 11 лет назад

I think it AF is fast and the color, and picture look amazing but its not sharp not sure if that is the youtube compression in the video though.

@Iwilldiesome 11 лет назад

MAn i cant wait for Sigma to sell the the alpha mount for the 18-35. Such a gorgeous lens! Really ups the bar for high quality lenses.

@Clk9057 10 лет назад

Beautiful. This video alone has helped me make my decision, it has to be a 70d! :D as much as I love my 600d, the sharpness here is unbeatable! ....and THEN I switched the Video to 1080! Thanks

@AroPnut 11 лет назад

That's good to know, and the ALL-I codec is easier to edit. But since my primary focus is video, it might be better to invest in the BlackMagic 4k camera if it doesn't have any major problems. Only time will tell.

@thewakz 9 лет назад

This looks like it blows the T5i out of the water, video quality wise, am I correct?

@truknayr23 9 лет назад

Yeah it does. The 70D is a step higher than the rebel series. The 700D or T5i is a lot cheaper than the 70D though.

@JJBfilm 11 лет назад

WOW..Canon got it right. I have been wondering when there R & D dept's HUGE funds would trickle down to the mid range consumer. Nice focus pulls and tracking. Now all we need is in camera stabilization and we are tight..

@tptrsn 11 лет назад

I definitely noticed some in the sample video here, but other than that it looked superb to me. 80megs data rate is really nice.

@ElDonAnan 10 лет назад

after i watch this review , i'm getting this lens for sure , never though Sigma Could do such a good lens ... thumbs up Amigo ..

@formattester6 9 лет назад

the 70D still seems to have the best AF in video mode for face detection. really very very impressive!! the D750 seems pretty good but have not seen that its as good as this 70D. so frustrating that the 70D IQ is not the best with lots of stair stepping and moire still present and obviously not very sharp compared to most other non canons. I'm looking for a light weight camera body for a gimbal that will face detect AF and this is the best for that. i want the AF so bad but still disappointed with IQ. argh!!

@Shrave 9 лет назад

Yup, it's a trade off. But I'm a one man team for videos so the AF really helps. That won over IQ for me.

@831lance 9 лет назад

formattester6 what about the new Nikon d5500? stuck on which one to buy

@sdhanna88 11 лет назад

Wow beautiful quality video, I think I've just found my new must have

@Archiemladen 11 лет назад

I don´t have some good monitor but, it looks quite sharp/good resolution this combination.

@CODcollections 11 лет назад

This camera seems remarkable! The focus speeds are insane. I think I'll be investing in the sigma lens next. Then maybe upgrade tho this camera body in a year or so. Wonderful video Blunty.
