I just ordered one EOS 1D IV, thanks for the inspiration!

[svennors]

Great video, thank you. Since I am currently taking photos with a Sony A7II, the direct comparison of the pictures from the lake was particularly revealing. A small note at this point: the reason why the Canon has zoomed in further at 78mm than the Sony at almost identical 75mm is the sensor size. The Canon works with an APS-H sensor (1.3 crop).

I'm still using my 5d classic and 5d mark iii. They are more than enough for me 👍

I still use 1DIV to shoot BMX races my kids take part in. Going to replace it with 1DX in next summer, since it has had weird noise originating from mirror box for 2 years, but still works. I actually planned to replace it 2020 but since corona came and we had no races and uncertain times, I skipped updating. I also still use 1DS3, but it has shutter bounce issue so does not get that much of use. My wife takes her business product shots with 1D3.

Hey bro love the colour of your video in all the footage including the 1D iv’s video too. Where can I get your lut?

[juanitakelly]

That was really interesting and makes me feel much better about using my older gear! Keeping up with trends can be expensive and not always the best choice depending on what you are doing with your photography. My old Nikon meets my goals at the moment as an amateur hobbyist. I began my journey down the YouTube rabbit hole watching in-studio tutorials, but now I enjoy the videos that are more out in the field focusing on nature and composition with good b-roll and music! Yours are easy to listen to!

Just got mine on eBay for a song. I’ll be able to buy some nice EF glass. I don’t need/want a computer (mirrorless) to do everything for me. I will work on improving my skills in composition and post.

About the differences in the shots at 09:40... You are comparing a full frame camera with a crop sensor camera. Ofc there will be difference in the width of the frame and the depth of field...

[PureNordicVibe]

Great video buddy😀The most important thing is to have fun outside and be creative👍💯

[Jassibro]

Sony a7c has a full frame camera and canon 1d mark iv has an APS-H sensor... That is why in image comparison there was more blur on the mountains side

How heavy did you find the mark 4??? I have a 70d and a sigma 150-600 and it makes my back hurt but really want a 1d mark 4

[David_Quinn]

the Canon camera outperforms the Sony in color, something about these 10+-year-old sensors are just better than what is rolling out today.

[CrestlessWave]

I watched your video and ordered a used 1d Mark IV today. This would be my first "Pro" camera after owning a Canon EOS 700D for over a decade. I hope most of my lenses would still work on it, since it has only EF mount support.

[Zetaphotography]

I loved that lens. It was so much lighter than expected for a 70-200. Had one with a 5D and 1D II. Considered rebuying just for fun.

[TexMex]

The 1DX Mark IV was the last APS-H sensor (1.3X crop) Canon made. I always though it was a fascinating camera because of that. It seemed like a bigger sensor to me being used the 1.6 crop of most canon consumer cameras. For wide angle photos you could use lenses like the Tamron 11-16 f2.8 that were made for 1.5 and 1.6 crop cameras.
I also loved the way it felt in the hand. The built-in vertical grip was so much more solid than add-on grips for the 5D and similar. When I eventually got a 1DX to replace mine I was disappointed in the size of the camera. It seemed thicker and chunkier in the hand.
Thanks for the video.

Hello mate I enjoyed your video as I too have recently bought the1D mkiv albeit as a hobby camera and for the 2nd time. I enjoy using older cameras and I'm always surprised just how well they deliver especially with the editing software now available. Love using it, especially wildlife with longer lenses.
I recently bought the canon R6, great camera, however I find I'm using the mk iv more often than I anticipated. I think newer cameras make photography easier but maybe not so satisfying.
I look forward to any camera comparison videos.

[paulroberts]

The canon 1dk4 is not old a olympus 2n or 4ti is, move a bit father for ward and try a canon eos 100 or rs / hs thats old, but if you know what your doing you can still get some beautiful photos just not hundreds of them which can be say l processed in something like light room. Digital has made a massive difference to how we take pictures and made it so much easier. So along those lines a 1d mk4 is still a great camera

[acehanson]

Great video and great comparison between cameras

[kalleankaa]

Whats your color profile and settings for video here?

[boeju]

the difference in effective focal length is because the sensor on the 1d is a bit smaller.
