Tony Northrup tests the Canon EOS R5 (sdp.io/r5) vs the Canon EOS R6 (sdp.io/r6) and Sony a7S III (sdp.io/a7s3) to find the ULTIMATE 2020 video camera for vlogging or RU-vid! Yes, if you're a serious RU-vidr or creator there was never been a better time to upgrade to 4k. The Canon R5, Canon R6 and Sony a7S3 all have AMAZING eye-detect autofocus and full-frame sensors that give you the option to blur the background as much as you might possibly want for recording RU-vid videos.

@Atamaii 3 года назад

Nice job, but, if you do it all yourself, as I do, you want to record good audio in camera. The Sony doesn't just connect the mic through a hot shoe it (according to Sony), can receive 2x stereo lines through the XLR K3M. But no one has demonstrated that yet!

@simianinc 4 года назад

Good review of the camera capabilities, Tony. I’d love to see a part 2 review where compare the edit ability based on Codecs, 10-bit v 8-bit, file sizes etc - preferably on both Premiere and Fingal Cut Pro. As an aside,I don’t think greater contrast is a plus. Since the old school days of the Canon 5D Mark II, we;ve been reducing the contrast in the cameras settings so we have more to play with in post. Unless you’re shooting raw, stretching out the DR in your NLE can lead to artefacts. the positive is that I think the DR of modern cameras mitigates this somewhat.

Where is that cool camera grip handle he was using on the Canon R6? I googled it but can't find it.

@TheArtofSimpleGolf 3 года назад

If recording golf videos which would you recommend? Can use lapel wireless or ideally on camera mic. Prefer the cheaper canon for cost, but need the right set up as waste so much time things failing.

@Ramage7070 4 года назад

Tony, thanks you for the awesome and very balanced review of the 3 systems. I am an R5 owner and could not be happier with the Camera because it meets MY needs. I will be adding an R6 because again it meets MY needs. The Sony is amazing and anyone should be excited to own it but for me and my Canon glass "investment" it does not make sense. Let's all hope that Canon, Sony, Nikon and all the rest keep upping the ante so we all benefit.

@ceelothatmane9421 3 года назад

We have issues with Dust on the sensor of the Sony Cameras we use in production. We watched your videos on cleaning and have to replace our low pass filters on Sony cameras. We do not have dust spot issues with Canon or GH5 series cameras and want to know your experience. It is not really usable in the field to have Sony cameras with dust all the time showing in post. We are careful changing lenses but work in the city and there must be something bad with our air or something cause they always show up. Ideas?

And how about that collapsible lens hood that KUVRD is offering? Have you seen it? What do you think? They also have an add-on that promises to improve photos IN THE CAMERA. I'm considering both.

How do the Canon mirrorless bodies work with DSLR lenses, especially autofocus? My Samsung NX1 which I love, will be unrepairable at sometime and I am looking at new body. 4K video is a must. So with a bunch of canon lenses it seems they would be more compatible with Canon, but am I wrong? Can Sony bodies do well with Canon?

@cbflazaro 4 года назад

the problem in the R5 at weddings isnt if it overheats at 4k line skipped. Its that after you film a wedding ceremony at soft 4k in a church for an hour. first, you need to restart every 30min, second, after the ceremony is over, you dont have 4k60/120 for the confetti as they walk out and lastly, no backup/dual card recording. Doesn't matter how long you can record 4k "normal" if you cant shoot 10 seconds of 4k60 during the confetti after shooting 4k normal during a ceremony

What a great video. I would just add a note at the top of the description that Canon launched a great $179 RF 50mm f1.8 lens in November 2020 just a few months after you published this. Now there is no need to adapt the nifty fifty. Oh, and it was probably added later but now you can record video in both SD cards.

Hey tony, I'd love it if you took a look at the A7s iii overheating update by three blind men and an elephant productions. Do you think you could test the overheating of the Sony in direct sunlight? Some people are saying that the lens may play a factor in heat dissipation and that could account for him and dan Watson experiencing overheating while no one else did.

@Tugela60 3 года назад

The camera you were recording with first has a really nice image. The one you used to record holding the a7SIII kind of sucked though.

@danieldougan269 4 года назад

It's a terrible waste of cameras like these to just use them for vlogging. The R5 and a7s III are really cinematic tools, and the R6 is not far behind. If you just want to vlog, there are more affordable and suitable cameras available, especially with crop sensors.

Tony, great review, thanks! Question, I have been a Nikon shooter for 30 years... About a year ago I started shoot some video with my D4s, D800 & 810 for my small channel and for some travel documentary stuff. As I have found out and per your comments regarding Nikon falling short in many ways regarding video, I can"t agree more, especially in the auto focus department, HORRIBLE!!! I am seriously considering jumping ship but, I have "a lot" of Nikon glass $$$$$. My head is absolutely spinning on what DSLR or mirrorless camera to buy??? I thought I had my mind made up on the Canon R6 but hearing about the over heating issue is bothersome to say the least... Seeing as I am just getting into this arena, I also don't want to drop 3K plus on the R5 or Sony A7sIII. ANY suggestions would help please??? Does Cannon and Sony make adaptors for Nikon glass? Is this defeating the purpose? I have watched many reviews and they are all over the map which why my head is spinning on this! Help please sir, I trust your knowledge, experience and candor with your reviews... Thank you very much and have a Merry Christmas!

Not sure about other brands.

A FEW QUESTIONS FOR TONY: Tony, GREAT review, and very thorough. But I'm going to ask you about a few things you didn't touch on that are important to some of us. Here they are: 1. How good is the APS-C mode on the Sony? 2. How good is the Sony Stab. with 3rd party, non-electronic lenses? I DO love shooting video fully manual---and find focus by wire lenses IMPOSSIBLE to use.. Finally, let me say NONE of the reviewers EVER cover the two issues I just posed---yet, there are thousands of us who love shooting fully manual lenses, and love shooting hand held, while using BOTH full frame and APS-C modes. Why are we constantly TOTALLY neglected? Can't you just give those of us who PREFECT shooting mirrorless this way just a few moments of testing and commentary on the results? Oh yes, Hey from Texas.

I want a hybrid camera for my A camera which can accommodate my work flow consisting in 40% photos and 60% videos. My videos are rarely more than 10 minutes and never more than 20 minutes. Autofocus has to be utterly dependable as I am a one man show. A flip screen is important to me as I like to be able to check myself as I am filming.
