R7 is way better…….on top of being a badass photo camera as well lmao. No comparison. IMO

I like how Gene gets Kari involved in these videos as a layperson on the topic and then starts explaining the different features of the cameras. Also liked it when Gene taught Kari how to use Davinci Resolve in one of the previous videos. Besides, it also gives a different take on the review, maybe a bit of a more unbiased one, because Kari is choosing based on the features that she prefers rather than the brand that she prefers.

It's really cool that Kari is being more of a staple of these videos. Passionate people make great content

Sony always superior in everything but colour. The one thing most people will notice lol.

I got my FX30 about a month ago, and coming from the GH4 it is a world of difference. The autofocus, the dynamic range, the color, its an incredible camera for $1800, especially matched with the 18-35

I am really liking the R7 here. It handles itself well in video.

For Canon, get the Visioncolor custom color profile and you won't have to grade much, it desaturates just enough to uncrush the blacks. Saves so much time and looks great.

Your girlfriend candid questions and remarks are actually very helpful, especially for amateur like me who doesn't know all things camera. You guys duo is awesome! Other friends too by the way! Nice energy and chill humor from everyone.

Canon R7 is best as a Hybrid camera. Canon need more RFs lens with fast aperture. Best within 1500usd. It will be nice if it comes under 1400usd.

1 Word: Lens Selection
Canon needs to step up their mirrorless APS-C lens catalog.
Will it be a repeat of EF-M that gets dropped after producing 5 lenses for the platform?

Thank you for explaining the difference as I am a beginner cinematographer and a great photographer. It made it more easier for me to choose between the two cameras!! Keep the videos coming!!

[MQFahey]

When you were shooting on the R you made it look great (even in 8 bit). I'd like to see EOS R vs R7 with speed booster. Older FF vs current cropped. Ultra low budget cinema shootout. This was a great vid though, thanks!

[ScottJWaldron]

Great job on the tests and analysis. I assumed they would be relatively similar, but the Canon did a bit better than expected! That 30mbps encoding option on the Sony sounds appealing. It's a challenge saving projects these days so I often use 8-bit 4:2:0 h.265 hevc on an Atomos Ninja V when indoors because I don't need to adjust much in post. I'm actually using two Canon M6ii cameras right now for my videos, but if I can ever afford it I'm leaning towards a full FX30 dual body kit. That might change if Canon opens up their mount to 3rd party lens makers like Sigma and Tamron.

i would like to see a comp with the Fuji xh2s

1:55 'I don't wanna color grade, I'm not ready for that... yet' - Gene slowly getting into her head :D

[pixelretroo]

Great video PT. Love the comparison and insights. Purchased R7 plus EF lens adapter a few weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier. For its price it shouldn't be this good, It's surpassed my expectations, but then again I haven't upgraded my camera since 2015. Also acquired a Lumix S5, and have to say, the dynamic range and stabilisation is truly awesome on that. Camera manufacturers have picked up their game in the past 2 years =)

[YuB]

i got u on the POTATO song gimme a couple days lol

[yanicmb]

I have the fx30 and I looove it, coming from a LUMIX s5 and g9 this is such an upgrade for me

[Joey.Alford]

Just grabbed the mantispod 2.0 with your discount code, surprised to see how cheap it was compared to the OG. Thanks Gene!

[RockWILK]

Man, your reviews are just a cut above everybody else. School, but fun all at the same time.
