Canon 5D MKII VS The Red Epic!

Ever wonder if a HDSLR can match up against a Red cam? So did we, and so we did something about it! Today Ryan puts his 5D against the Red Epic to see how close he can get his camera's quality to that of 5k!

@giggaheim, Thanks for hosting the file.

I honestly don't see that much of a difference between the 5D and the red(except for the detail part. Which can be tweaked for the 5D in After effects.) Color Correction wise, they look pretty much the same. The 5D has more of a dense look and the RED looks "light & weightless". I'd go for the 5D even though i just rented out a RED. Nice Review.

Ah, well in that case I agree with you. I use a Panasonic HMC150 with the 3CCD sensor, and I hardly ever run into instances where rolling shutter is an issue. I thought you were just saying that the Epic is crap because it employs a rolling shutter :)

[SunnyShawFilms]

@lazlochatter yeah but these rolling shutters are too slow, I hate the jello-effect of these cmos sensors, trust me when it comes to capturing fast motion subject, even an old 90s ccd camera would gave better result.

@SunnyShawFilms

What are you talking about? That fact that it has one? Every digital video camera NEEDS one, or else, ya know, we would just see a white image the entire time from severe over-exposure. As it was shown, the Epic rolling shutter is far and away better than the 5D's is.

@Bleacheddata

For shitty stuff like YouTube, sure. But when you're making The Hobbit, and you kind of need to capture all the extra detail, you're completely wrong. 5K, all day every day.

Whenever you get a piece of equipment that's used for film riot, you should have Gear Unboxing Mondays

fine on the small screen and I use 5D all the time but when shooting ads or if I want printable still it's the RED EPIC all the way.
