Please don’t fall into the consumer money trap of which camera is better. “It’s not the car, it’s the driver” the best camera for you is the one you can afford. Learn your equipment and its limitations and make the best of it.

I’ve used most of the brands, but when it came to buying the gear myself, I chose Sony over Canon in most cases. I’m a photographer first and Sony has never failed me and even my old a6000 and a7r2 still outperforms some newer cameras with video af. Their third party lens options are a major determining factor for me as many of those lenses perform as good or better than first party lenses from other camera manufacturers on their own bodies. I still like my Canon gear as well as some others though.

Was a Canon shooter for 20+ years. After the switch from EF to RF and no incusion of 3rd party lenses. I decided I would try a Sony A7 IV at the same time as I owned my Canon R6. I ended up selling all my canon gear for Sony. Why? I could buy much more lenses for the same price of just a couple of Canon RF lenses.

The hardest part about doing videos like this, is that the content is almost immediately outdated. It’s just how technology works, no fault of your own. That being said, I would to seen an update which includes where Canon is today (as it relates to autofocus) with the R5MKII and R1. Your approach was the best, btw. Not just another person complaining about how a camera manufacturer isn’t keeping up with their individual desires and that’s why Brand x wins or “that’s why I switching…”.

You forgot to mention something about Sony and 3rd party lenses. Sony cameras that can shoot faster than 15fps has that capped off lower if you use 3rd party.

I run an R7 and adapt lenses, including 3rd party with absolutely zero issues. Even an older EF 70-200 F2.8L version 2 has very fast and accurate AF on that R7. The only lense I have AF issues with is the Sigma 150-600C, where it loses subject at the 600 end quite easily. I do wish it had better low light performance, but it's not bad for a Canon APS-C. I do have plans to eventually grab an R6mkII. I am still, for the most part, happy going Canon since my first camera over 16 years ago with the RebelXT.

I am photography hobbyist. Was a canon user myself then moved to Sony when I want a full frame camera. I was looking for 1 lens shot all zoom lens. I find out that Sony has more choices and much cheaper in cost. Canon can give you less hussle or probably much better quality but price are too high. However, Sony has cheaper zoom lens and there are a lot from used market as well. If you are looking for full frame + zoom lens, I would highly recommend sony.

I have a Canon R8. It takes amazing photos and videos. You need to get good glass. You have to do that with any camera. I’ve had no problem editing using Adobe software.

Buying a full frame camera is a dream, I bought A7iv after 10 years of dreaming 😄. Why sony? bcoz I can buy Sigma, Samyang, Tamron lenses. Those lenses can give professional quality images in affordable prices. But If I buy Canon, I can't afford those lenses...those RF lenses are more costly than camera body...and those RF lenses are comparable to Sigma & Tamron in quality...

This was the most informative video on the canon vs Sony debate. I’m currently saving up for a premium mirrorless and have been leaning Sony for a while. But I’m also been mentally debating on going with canon. And for Sony being the most versatile on lenses and Sony being more simpler and efficient with their editing for video, and the more neutral color science. I’m now settled with picking up a Sony mirrorless for my ecosystem. Thank you for making this video and making as not biased as it could be 😂

[stevenwaldstein]

Thank you. I actually own and shoot both Canon, currently either the EOS R5, and Sony with both high end full size full frame bodies and two of their new compact bodies. Currently don’t do video but really should start. I do like that for Sony I can get a smaller and lighter body and lenses to pack small and the fact they have higher resolution and bodies with higher frame rates that are available in mallet bodies. I still like Canon though and was happy to see them move to mirrorless. My entire DSLR collection was Canon only. Take care.

No mention of reliability. I bought a Sony A7RII in 2017. I had to replace the shutter after only 35, 000 actuations. Now the ribbon cable to the LED screen has gone bad. I'm not a heavy user by any means. I find this unacceptable for a camera that is 7 years old and cost $2700 at the time. Perhaps Sony's build quality has gotten better over time but if I were starting out now I would go Canon or Nikon.

[noboshow]

Thank you for this video. I am mostly a video creator on all my channels and i wanted to swap out of Canon to Sony and now i know what i must do.

[JoyL_CO]

You neglected to mention that with Canon’s EF to RF adapter you can use any Canon or third party EF lenses, so you have much more choice. Stating that you can only use Canon lenses on Canon mirrorless cameras is misleading.

[bamabotak]

thx for the insight man.. you are my parameter for camera stuff.. god bless you..

[sanjaybali]

Where does one go to if they want to look at these cameras before buying? I am in the Toronto area and was shocked when I went to a local Best Buy and there was only 2 cameras on display. Even Henry's store don't much stock for customers to try.

[motoroll]

Thank you. My focus was to get good photos without hassles and good videos on fast pace activities. I believe canon is the best option for me, and for the videos ill focus on my action cameras. Basicly it ends up on what you need for your style and environment.

[BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

I love my FX30 because I care more for Video then Photos. I've never owned a Cinema Level Camera entry level or not it's a Learning curve coming from a ZV-1 & a6400 and even my ZV-E10. But color is always subjective to everyone. Some people can't tell the difference between the (2) if you're using Program settings or Auto. I'm still learning color correction for my FX30 but it's still a learning, but I've learned if ya take your time no matter WHAT you get it'll be fine

[VynZography]

What a brilliant video! You went through all the important points and just said when some things are basically the same and don't matter.

[sureshkannan]

Bro tell me hard to decide whether to go with canon r6 mk ii or sony a7iv…Majorly i shoot photos and videos… I want a clarity photo and video tell me your point of view

[Agbazu]

You just answered my question. Thanks.
