5Dmk2/7D lens comparison test
by Mike Collins

This is a short test with the tripod in the same spot switching between prime lenses to show how the crop affects the 7D. The subject, ace stand in Chris Clement, was roughly five feet from the camera. This isn't meant to be an aesthetic test to show the difference in image quality between the two cameras. It's a down and dirty field guide for myself and the other shooters we work with so we can quickly figure what lens we want to use on each camera.

We go from 20mm all the way to 100mm with a Lensbaby composer thrown in at the very end.

This video shows the difference in term of FOV between the full frame Canon EOS 5D Mark II (reviews) and the 1.6 crop factor Canon EOS 7D (reviews) using the same lenses.

  • @rojaslaz Until you run into a studio wall.

  • bottom line is: take 4 steps backwards and save yourself 1000 bucks, go for the 7d.

  • The lighting and video quality looks so much nicer on the 5D, brighter, clearer, crisper. And you get a lovelier depth of field. I'd happily spend more for the 5D, seems worth it.

  • great

    

  • The 5D has a nicer finish to the video imo

  • Whhhhoooooa. That is a big difference! I'm curious how a wide angle lens would look on both.

  • That was a very good video

  • @Acarsfault It wont be the same portrait, the full frame sensor will have a different look than the crop one. Also the focal lengths are different. 70mm is still 70mm its the field of view that's different when comparing crop and full frame. the full fame 100mm will offer shallower DOF and more compression of perspective.

  • @rojaslaz ..and when its time for wideangle landscape shots..? take 1 mile step-back ?..

  • My question is :

    Fx 100 mm = 100 mm

    Dx 70 mm = 105 mm

    will be the same quality portrait ?

  • @rojaslaz Hahahaha! Love it.

  • Is it a hidden message that he's smiling at the FF but not at the cropped sensor? jk
