Canon 5D mkII vs The Canon T2i

http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/canon-5d-mkii-vs-the-canon-t2i/

Ryan Connolly did good comparison of these cameras some time ago, but since I like to do my own testing I thought I would run some similar tests. I found similar results to what Ryan found, except I didn't see that the T2i was more saturated than the 5D. Color and saturation are so similar you could easily mix both footage

You might be asking, "Dave, why are you comparing the 5D mark II to the 550D when the mark 3 is coming soon?

Yes it is true that the 5D in terms of features almost feels historic when compared to it's little cropped frame brothers when it lacks a ton of cool features like focus points faster shutter drive a level built in zoom, tilt out screen. But the reason the 5D is Canon's flag ship product for professionals is because of the full frame.

personally i came from a T2i .. actually bought a 5D

As a professional photographer i choose the 5D all the way ..

Images are much more detailed, full frame sensor, really good at hight iso and the 21MP sensor really helps with images like portraits.

But for amateur video and picture taking i confirm what you say .. you really must zoom in 100% to see the difference, and an amateur will never do that so ..

a 5D don't worth the costs

Thanks for this compare. Btw. You have an excellent view for nice pictures!

This video is not in 1080p. Not a valid comparison.

How can video from 5D not be much better than the T2, when it lets much more light onto the sensor?

[Harrisabd]

hey dave, what settings do you use to render your videos, they look amazing, or is it the lighting? hope you can reply! thanks :)

[ChuukeseStink]

Do you shoot at 60p?

@himalay7 True, and remember you never want to crank the iso that much anyway, so really in most situations, you won't even be able to tell the difference.

Thanks so much for this video. With all the rumors of the 5D Mark iii swirling around, I've been pondering an upgrade from my T3i. Your video helps shed some perspective on the intense "covet factor" the new full-frame is bringing.

[himalay7]

$1800 more for a full frame sensor and better ISO sensitivity?. I would rather get good lens and photoshop :).

Great comparison and footage! Those are the kinds of things that we amateurs take time to learn about. It's so great to see that knowledge shared, thanks a lot!
