Battle of the Bokeh: Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM vs Sigma 70-200mm OS HSM

[kriisoobg]

CANON with a NIKON strap!! AWWW YEAHHHH

[DuyNPhotography]

I'm so lost....at one point he shooting with a Canon and then near the end he has a Nikon?

[norauu]

@DuyNPhotography It's just Nikon strap. He didn't change the camera

[KursFotograficzny]

Canon 1st place!!!

[911Tyson1]

I really think this test was very immature and only makes the Sigma shine for whats it worth. hahaha.

[iloveapple123456789]

Canon

[MizzMona21]

CANON IS BETTER! KUZ I HAVE A CANON AND IT IS AWESOME!

[thosevlogs]

this is the worst video ever.....

[amsmiami2011]

this guy is stupid!

[flickers456]

Canon had the upper hand

[patrixiomadrid]

chino culiao no teni niun brillo

[oysteinsor]

problem: it looks like they did take the pictures at different distance. ( they did not use tripod on the last shots is my theory ). To really have a good test you have to have the camera on a tripod to be sure about the distance.

When so close, a few cm will have great impact on photo.

[relent107luke]

It absolutely pooped on it hahahaha

[waleed10101]

wow nikon strap+ canon 5d mkii + sigma lens...

[kboy7777777]

why does kai subtly diss his own kind???

[17GAZZANIKON]

pause at 5:38, nikon strap on a canon :P hehe cool idea Kai!

[Jimald2510]

I'd like to see a Canon vs Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8

[Ravy054]

i don't get ur point... u might have to do some more test with ur Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. I am sure it can give u much better results than what u have tried in this video. Also please try to be on the point rather than wasting my time coz half the video u do is crap.

[Dragon4eva]

@Ravy054 then don't watch the video?



[portraitsbyvlad]

I think the focal length in the images in 5:28 is different.

[graniteminds]

Photography is way over rated.

[Gallosafare]

sad



[baaliboi]

f2.8 sigma has shit dop.

[YOOivansterr]

Omg just get to the point.

[Altair8801]

Is it possible to have the Canon lens set to other than f/2.8 aperture? Isn't this supposed to be a constant aperture though the whole focal range from 70 to 200 mm? Hmm... I thought you couldn't change the aperture at all, but now from what I understand the f/2.8 is the smallest f-number you can have throughout the whole focal length, but you can still choose to have it set to like 4.0 or 5.6. In other words it's not affected by you zooming in and out. That's one cool lens!

[WildIndieMovies]

I haven't watched one of your reviews for a while.. your getting funnier. Nice job fellas... "that blooming guy.".. "if anything, the Sigma is a good paperweight"... "modelling inspired by that tree".

Enjoyed it a lot guys.. thanks. Mind you .. Canon vs Sigma 70-200.. no contest.. Have you done one comparing a Tokina 11-16 with a comparable Canon. I'd be interested in that.

[GrendelPL]

bokeh is totally subjective... Honestly, i prefer bokeh of russian Helios 58mm f/2@5.6 - sort of a swirl, harsh and strong bokeh... I really hate canon's "sweet and soft, milky and cute" bokeh

[jebokmasam]

lol ! canon body .. nikon's strap ! haha !

[vercauterenalex]

well, the differense is not much..

BUT canon has a little bit more bokeh..

and the blacks in the last shot in the bokeh are smoother on the canon lens than on the other one..

[RobertTriscoli]

Was anyone else shiting their pants with the cameras so close to the water? And WHY in all that is good on this earth is there a nikon strap on that 5D?

[MastaKadaj]

Swagmaster walks right behind Kai at 0:20

[brumbori]

@AssiVomDienst1

I'm sorry i was watching prices for 70-300mm not for 70-200mm .. Sorry my mistake...

[GameGlitcher94]

Guitar song at 2:00 ???!!!!

[alexb12kt]

@GameGlitcher94 It a default loop from GarageBand for Mac OSX

[GameGlitcher94]

@alexb12kt ill try and find it off that, must have a name though :/

[brumbori]

Canon might have just a little bit better quality but comparing prices.. I'm not sure how much Canon costs but in Finland sigma costs about 200euros and i think Canon is about 700-800euros.. So i prefer more Sigma because it's almost 4 times cheaper and there is not much difference in quality.. Sorry about my English if you didn't understand what i mean lol.

[AssiVomDienst1]

@brumbori

please send me a link

[CosplayFeverBook]

@brumbori 200 euros for the Sigma? What have you been smoking?!

[anthony851]

Only 3 comments about the Nikon strap on a Canon! Didn't anyone notice it? Look at 5:06

Anthony

[Niobifyed]

@anthony851 your a new watcher i guess :) Kai does this all the time ;)

[ManCamRa]

After watching this Video, I would never let these guys handle any of my lens.... I'm a little er more protective of my glass.

[c17rox]

I want to snatch that lens and take it for myself. Standing it up right next to the water!!! Crazy??

[jchoo34]

You can't really compare Canon to Sigma. Canon simply makes the best 70-200 period.

[Voxnulla]

I don't like both of them. The DOF is so obviously hard edges for both lenses. A good bokeh smears the transition much more smoothly. The sigma seemed to do that a bit better, but both can not compete with German primes. We can't really judge how stripy or silky the lenses are due to low contrast in the backgrounds, but I think the Canon is silkier.

[PsychoTerror915]

LOL!

[pepckat]

Nikon really makes GooD.....Straps! :-)

[10truman]

please stop disrespecting canon by putting a nikon strap on it, canons better get over it

[iRoNaK696]

@10truman chill a dslr is a dslr im just happy i have the skill to use one

[xXspartan125Xx]

YOUR LENSES ARE SCARY-CLOSE TO THAT WATER

[littletiger06]

@xXspartan125Xx I was gonna say the same thing!!! I can just see him bumping them accidentally into the water..

[TryThinkingAboutIt]

Get on with it lads......

[treepizzle]

Which one won? The next 2 episodes don't say....:(

[FreTzx]

really with you guys would review lower end lenses because we can't all afford L lenses :P

[JotaLegendOfficial]

THROW THE CHEESE!!!

[sugashack74]

Canon at 2.8, but after that the Tamron catches up. What about a L vs Non L Zoom lens?

[charger348]

looks to me like you mixed up the apertures in the comparison shots at the end. have an other look at them and you will easily spot the mix up. like your vids though.

[colagero]

press 9....repeatedly

[urwholefamilydied]

why do I love kai so much? If I was into asian men I'd totally bang him... unfortunately I'm into asian women.

[snapshutterPhoto]

I have to admit digital rev do some great reviews but the style in which there presented is extremely gay

[codyduncandude]

PRESS 9 REPEATEDLY.. #lmao

[drommens83]

Canon all the way...

[lakai2305]

I want to have these Crackers :D

[stevesteeeve]

Press number 9 :D

[ManillaThrillah]

@stevesteeeve

repeatedly*

[Stefanwouldyou]

i really think for the price the Sigma looks like a solid performer and a nice lens.

[Kygroh]

Am I the only one that noticed that limping guy in the beginning?

[Zihab2000]

Dude,,ur so funny! love ur videos man !

[sunizzil]

canon



[JRobPhoto]

canon is better bot youd evpect that for spending another $400+ personally i think the sigma holds its own against the canon considering its a 3rd party lens. still need a lens that can focus as quick as the human eye though.

[keshavrao27]

Y is that you use a Nikon Strap on a Canon Body ?

[genspire]

It looks to me like at the end of the video, where you are making a side by side compare of the bokeh (at 5:34), you mixed up the Sigma images for the f/2.8 and the f/4 shots since the f/4 has a background that is more out of focus than the f/2.8 which would never be the case, no matter how crappy the sigma is.

[pol10pablo]

@genspire Its because of the focal length, look how in the "sigma at 2.8" you can see more ground under the post, and bigger part of the bench X legs.

And, as you now, the longer the focal length is, the smallest is the focus zone

[zapatolas]

I think I prefer the crackers ... although the cheese isn't bad either...

[saporob]

The bokeh is better on canon but the contrast of sigma is better

[hafidzajis]

test it in low light. We can check on the IS n OS then...

[tatungchow]

Canon is better. Just look at the degree of blurry of the background.

[MrAdamAcid]

This is rather stupid, they should of both been on Canon 5dmkii, they look completley different because of the different sensors

[97purna]

@MrAdamAcid they are both on the 5d mkii...

[CarlulousEE]

I like the Canon better. :D

[KooksCMonday]

Canon is better

[floryka]

Kai, do you really do the pictures from same distance and same focal lenght?

[urwholefamilydied]

if you want to skip ahead to the actual review... go to 4:00

[urwholefamilydied]

hey kai... can you please stop saying "bokeh" like fat bastard from austin powers? YES?! thank you.

[Mikenopolis]

I'll go with Sigma, since I shoot Sony anyway. I would like a comparison with the Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM lens. With that said, if I had money to waste, obviously I would buy the Canon. BUT many of us don't actually make money from our pictures and it is a hobby (expensive one at that) have slightly less bokeh is a non issue. I would just use my 50mm f/1.4 if bokeh was the end goal.

[Ernests11245]

that means Canon has a better depth of field definition... cumon..who wants their background get focused at 2.8? sigma did!

[genin69]

im thinking about the amount of dust that was blown into his camera while changing lenses..

[blackninja650]

@genin69 What about the poor uncapped Sigma pointing straight up at the sky taking dust and heat before he relegated it to paper-weight status?

[Stefanwouldyou]

are people forgetting the canon is double the price?

[matthewstein1997]

k i am watching this video for a review of canon lens's NOT CHEESE!

[M1sterHamilton]

Canon looks better to me

[LowCountryWild]

@M1sterHamilton your wallet doesn't think so

[M1sterHamilton]

@LowCountryWild I just bought a 70-200 today haha

[TheKirby177]

Sigma wins

[NO0Bstatus]

both look like great lenses. i shoot nikon so id have to go with the sigma

[gchamp727]

I enjoy DRT a lot. Kai is entertaining but I would say that as far as gaining insight into equipment, DRT is a complete waste of time. However, for entertainment value.. not bad .. I think you should give Lok a more prominent role. He seems to know quite a lot about cameras & photography. Kai, you are ok but Lambie is under used. She needs to contribute more. She is a charming woman but her clothes are junior high schoolish. Keep up the good work.

[ZARTHALAS]

possibly the most annoying reviewer on the interwebs...

[richieramone1]

Don't be fools. If the canon costs $2500 it's for a reason. Remember the rule, better glass just costs more, always.

[allantiono]

Canon body wit Nikon strap... you did it again.. lol



[Skatrav]

The name's C. Lok, C.

Or

The name's Man. Camera, Man.

Which one do you reckon is better?

Reply with your opinion.

[majestixblue]

on 5.30 comparison, at f2.8 canon is a lot better, and then sigma is catching up on f4 and f.56 the closest bokeh between those two with Canon is still better especially on the far background

[fanastic9]

2:20 Maltese Cross on his jeans!

[hurtrov]

what if he tripped and pushed the sigma onto the water lol

[cgouais]

i prefere the other lens!!! ;-)

[MacLeod1905]

I have tried both several times, and the Canon is a bit sharper at f/2,8...but that is easily fixed in photoshop...$1200 difference made it easy for me choosing...I have the Sigma, which, by the way, won the EISA award 2011.

the $1200 I can use on the Canon EF 135mm f/2 instead....

[TehJynxx]

Do the stanky leg :P 0:20 - 0:30

[DamirxD]

canon is always better

[kraig800i]

LOL skateboarder lost his board at 0:20

I would personally say either the both seem to focus the same the sigma has a good depth of field with distance where as the cannon does the opposite.

[de4musketiers]

fuck video



[coffieworld101]

canon one looks better

[flip5577]

Photobombed at 0:16 haha.



[RAAR3040]

Bokeh of the canon is way much better, but tthe color it produces is darker than the one the sigma produces....... But I would still go with the canon, cuz I LOVE CANON!

[Wonderboy0987]

I use the sigma for my track photography, works like a charm for me. Love it! I'd love to have the Canon, but with funds...the sigma is a winner for me. Best bang for the buck imo

[Alreetkid]

i like the sigma, but canon's canon so canon wins.

[ravivide]

Have you ever dropped your lenses?

[truknayr23]

for the quality... no doubt... CANON... but for the price.... sorry Canon... i am going for the Sigma,

[morloff]

Nice cheese commercial!. 1/2 video opening a plastic bag..... Nice!

[pivotsweeter]

i think sigma wins



[SeatBeltFTW]

I'm not sure if Canon were going for "Luxury" with the 'L', I think what they meant was, 1337!!!!!

[megamegamario13]

lol at the guy at the beginning. i mean i feel sorry for him but the timing was pretty fly. and yes, the canon did poo on the sigma, much much sharper with better contrast

[AdeptPaladin]

It's a "flat cap" popular in Britain. I haven't followed the series until just now, but I think Kai's from Hong Kong.

[joe88jo]

what do we called for kai's hat?

[offspringy]

Chinese secret agent LOL

[helthuismartin]

Strike the pose? reminds at Madonna.

[helthuismartin]

The Cannon has bedder bokeh,bud the Sigma is sharper wide open.

[goldenguy12345]

What camera was this being tested on?

[RedBird1997]

he love dropping stuffs

[aahhmmeedd112233]

His view finders hilarious

[LeftOfToday]

Ugh, the amount of things you drop and break or nearly break drives me crazy! I just about want to come and carry things for you so this doesn't happen... And I'm a clumsy bugger myself!

[TheSmight]

tap 9 if u wanna good laugh

[DeeJayHRave]

press 1 for gunshot :L

[mrmeadowsiscool]

sigma is amazing for the price. you cant hate on a lens thats not trying to pretend to be something its not. sigma is a budget lens and nothing else.

[samsungthepimp]

@mrmeadowsiscool +1 on that! The price difference in magnitude of $1,700 is not justifiable, at least for me, for the relatively small difference in quality. That said Canon will be Canon :)

[bwinn10]

@samsungthepimp you have to see the full res images to tell that canon blows the sigma away all day in real life but if you only show your pics on youtube,flicker and facebook and never print or make money with your photogaphy then ya dont spend the money

[TheChaliWorld]

Well I like the both of them making a good lens to shoot with!

[Mrsociety98]

I think the Canon is a little bit better also sharper and more contrast. But I think that Sigma actually did a pretty good job with that lens

[sosvocaloid]

Try the Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 OS HSM 2!

[1550592535]

sigma for the 800 bucks price is a killer

[MobiusCoin]

Too similar. I know the Canon kills it in terms of sharpness but I'm not letting that affect my choice here. The difference in bokeh is negligible.

[ICHIGOZYODAIME]

shit, that lense can fall into the water anytime =="

[bboychance]

DUDE, why are you putting your £1000 lenses so near the water???

[MobiusCoin]

@bboychance He seems to do this a lot. He holds his camera without the strap. He'll put a lens on a flat surface near a river and use it as a subject. He'll change his lenses without sitting down or even stop walking. He's either really ballsy or super pro. But probably both.

[mikep3kSUFC]

Crip walk 0:17

[HoloRetrieve]

Canon!

[pyre777]

SIGMA!!!



[MR555Nightmare]

why don't you just being 2 camera for both lens? It save a lot of time to swap between lens. :O

[baotloi1]

sigma 70-200 2.8 macro HSM vs canon 70-200 2.8 L non-IS!! Thumbs up!!

[odedia]

The most important question: what camera/lens are you using to shoot these videos?? the quality is amazing!

[Edsan91]

@odedia I believe a 5D Mark II is being used to record the episodes. I don't know about the lenses but I think different ones. Idk tho but I've seen that camera.

[skillbill83]

@odedia Canon 24-105 L f4 IS

[bozorgsara2005]

canon



[mikeprdct22]

i feel that the Canon has the better outcomes

not the sigma ,canon for sure , canon wins .i.

[costinho6]

That guy has swag.

[aslkdrjd]

canon wins...

[CalebFilmsPresent]

@aslkdrjd compare with Nikon,Nikon Win~

[dannyboi50ful1]

haha i just bought the cannon and it is freaking amazing

[TheMoo1231]

the canon doesn't "poop" on it wtf is wrong with you, read the reviews, the sigma is only a little worse, and MUCH better value.

[LordWeedSmoker]

The Canon defiantly has the best bokeh, no doubt about it!

[TheTrueBerliner]

4:42 nikon strap, sigma lens, canon camera

[flava82]

@TheTrueBerliner nikon strap, sigma lens, canon camera, chinese white boy haha

[habdien]

I trust canon optics for the quality, while the outcomes are relevant to your taste I believe. Some people need and like.

For me, Canon has what we expect from its optics, at 2.8 it's a shallow depth of field and it's sharper the smaller the aperture goes, while sigma is doing the opposite..

Canon for sure

[iasahuman]

for me sigma has the most vivid shot

[MrFooBot]

The cheese looks like it comes in a condom wrapper...

[kathleen023]

btw people should know that the sigma is a 3rd party lens and for 3rd party lens is not that really bad...i would still go to sigma + its made is japan vs the canon made in thailand or somewhere in china!!!!

[schiz430]

@kathleen023 is canon a Japanese company? i think it is made in japan not in thailand... you maybe referring to Nikon... which is originally from Thailand...

[k]

@schiz430 what are u talkin about nikon and canon is originally japanese company even sony,sigma,tamron and the tokina they all originally made in japan company they only made it on other country like thailand, china ,taiwan, and malaysia because the labor there is cheap...but in japan all the dslr is made in japan....why do i know because im half japanese..
