Canon 7D iso vs Sony PMW EX1 db

[TheXboxSux]

for filming that kind of shot the 7D is like bringing a tampon to a gun fight, it's not quite the best tool to fight with...

ex cameras are meant for wide shots that look super crisp while a DSLR is meant for dicking around with bokeh and being "artsy"

Given the extra controls and features the EX has, I would pick it up in a heartbeat over some DSLR camera for shooting video that's even remotely professional.

You get what you pay

[d1353lp0w3r]

7D looks out of focus, you should of compared it at high f-stops too

[play4keep]

this test is flawed in so many ways FIRST U SHOULD USE PROPER ISO 160,320,640 ECT 2 FOCUS

[raredreamfootage]

Once again, this comparison proves that DSLR's have very inaccurate natural colour reproduction.

As the gain increased on the 5D, the colours became way too over exposed and over saturated, whereas the EX1 maintained the naturalness in the colour.

No contest the EX1 wins hands down unless you want a cartoonie look.

I would have thought the EX would be less noisy

Guess I'm wrong.

[Linogq]

I think if your a true pro you would defenitly use the Sony. Not only because it looks pro, but alos becuase people recognize sony as a quality stuff. That being said, Canon is making images really close to those higher end Sony Cameras. I like both. I would like to have both as well.

[mariomanmitch]

@RTardEntertainment , I would get the 550d/T2i if I were you, the video is exactly the same, they are both 18megapixel but the 550d/T2i is only $800

[RTardEntertainment]

DANG I still dont know wich one I should get....5D or 7D

[BigBlueProd]

@RTardEntertainment

Depends on what you'll be doing.

I'd jump for the 5d if you're not worried about 60p or External monitoring.

[ClankyRochet]

@RTardEntertainment Hope you have decided but I went for 7D because I am hoping Canon will bring out 5D m3 out soon and then I will get the 5D.

[SuperAzproductions]

The Ex1 is clearly better, but also 5K$ more

[rainarzufall]

The EX1 is the better Camera.

[GrinningLizard]

The 7D is out of focus...

[erett2000]

nice comparison. you hear a lot of people saying the ex-1 is a much better camera than the 7d and 5d mkII but i think the 7d definitely hold it's own in low light.

[simon1234simon]

@erett2000 but 5D MKII is better in low light than 7D, beacouse of the much bigger sensor. i have found the 5DII to be less noisy at the same iso. and another thing. 7D 5DII both have noise reduction. EX-1 doesn't.

[erett2000]

@simon1234simon Of course the 5D will do better in low light seeing as it has a full frame sensor. I was just referencing the 7D because it is being compared in the video. The 5D is definitely a stronger camera for video. But, some prefer 7D because it is close to 35mm film. I own a 7D. And most CMOS based cameras have noise reduction in the processing because CMOS is known for generating noise. Canon's remove the noise on chip rather than in processing I believe.

[simon1234simon]

@erett2000 We learned in school that CCD chips would actually have better quality and lower noise. So i really wish That someone would make a very good CCD camera with a big sensor. If 1/3" CCD is comparable to a 36x24 sensor i can't imagine what a bigger one would do. As For the 7D being closer to 35mm, that's true. But when making movies they use 1.2F, 1.8F lenses - for example 85mm 1.4 or 200 1.8. Those lenses are very expensive. So i still prefer the 5DII even if it bit more expensive.

[erett2000]

@simon1234simon Yes CCDs are better in quality but they are much different from CMOS. CMOS takes much less power than CCDs. CMOS can shoot high frame rates without cutting resolution because of it's capture method. This is a problem with CCDs. The new RED can shoot something like 120fps at 4k. Also, a 1/3" sensor is the same whether it is a CCD or CMOS sensor. It's something like 5mm. APS-C sensors are somewhere around 25mm and full frames are 35mm.

[simon1234simon]

@erett2000 Yea but bigger sensors have better quality, right? I was saying if a 1/3" CCD is comparable to a 35mm CMOS than i wonder how would a 35mm CCD work. I think it would be probably very good.

[erett2000]

@simon1234simon ah i got ya! well things get super complicated from there. for instance, a 5D can shoot 21mp, but only 1080p is used when shooting video. this means that certain pixels are turned off in the camera and not used. i'm not sure on this but i don't think this can be done with a CCD. so really, if you a are making a giant ccd that can shoot only 1080p, then you will get increased dynamic range and depth of field. this is what the Sony CineAlta F35 uses and why it is so amazing.

[heihachi44]

i don't miss noisy Sony Ex1 :)

[ElementsVideo]

@heihachi44 don't forget that one reason the 7D has less noise is because it has noise reduction filters.

[erett2000]

@ElementsVideo please correct me if i'm worng on this but I'd say it has a lot to do with the sensor size, seeing as the 7D's sensor is at least 5 times larger than the ex1's. and, also the option of choosing a lens. i'm not sure about this either but it seems the lowest stop on the ex-1 is 1.9, whereas the canon can go as low as the lens allows.

[chingvang559]

perfect comparison. you are a first
