 What is happening Nick chay back with another video today? We are talking cameras photography videography if you're not interested in this tech review stuff come back next time for a new video But today is a question. I've been getting asked a lot is you know What kind of camera do I shoot with do I prefer different brands over another and let's just jump right into it So first things first obviously this video is entitled canon versus Sony because those are the two brands that I shoot the most I have worked with the most over the past few years when I first got into photography I shot on the Fujifilm X10 which is a great point to camera, but then eventually I upgraded to Canon and now as to Canon versus Nikon. This is a huge controversial question It's been debated years and years and there's tons of videos that you can look over the exact specifics But from what I've experienced and from using specifically Canon over the past almost six years I can say that by far. I'm a die-hard kid and fanboy like no matter what nothing will ever be Canon's colors face profiles their build is always great And overall like it just super user-friendly like if you're just getting into photography I can't recommend any brand more than can just because the user interface is so easy to use. It's very simple It's very well laid out Nikon is so confusing like I can't figure out how to change the freaking shutter speed without having To go into like different dials and things like that So that kind of gets the cannon versus Nikon debate out of the way obviously like the biggest photographers are using either or But from what I've seen and the photographers that I follow a lot of them usually shoot Canon just because it's so once again like the color space is huge, which I'll get into later Okay, now as far as cannon versus Sony Cannon I really primarily use for all my photos any portraits weddings events anything like that and Sony I primarily use for videos So all my vlogs my travel videos Anything else that I'm using to film like cinematic stuff. I'll shoot on Sony Okay, so my biggest complaint is I don't have an all-in-one body meaning that I literally have to carry around a Sony and a cannon just to film photos and videos because I don't like shooting photos on this and I don't like shooting videos on my cannon And so now I have to highlight these stupid converters to adapt my cannon lenses to Sony blah blah blah and so What I'm looking for is an all-in-one photo video camera And I haven't found that yet which I'm hoping to find eventually. Okay, so let's specifically talk cannon for photos and videos Photos are out of this world. They're super tech sharp. The image quality is great. The skin looks so soft The color space profile so what I mean by that is like you notice a lot of like cannon pictures and portraits It's that it just looks so natural like they figured out their color science and they just made it work That's why cannon has been the top of the brand for every camera for so long literally like the Sony colors suck Like I hate shooting portraits on this because like the skin looks yellow and like it doesn't look great Like the quality is obviously very sharp and like it looks great And maybe this is because I'm shooting on the Sony a7s mark one But if I had like a Sony a7 or two or three like obviously I'd be saying different things Another thing is the autofocus and like the tracking like I'm using video right now And like it's tracking my face super well and then with photos it autofocus is super well Sometimes I miss it which is kind of annoying But if you find the right settings for your autofocus like it turns out fine All right So those are some of the pros some of the cons is that the size like these DSLRs are massive Like it's taking up so much space in my bag And it's such a burden to carry around like literally just to take photos when you can like have like a Compact Sony camera right so a few things like why I'm not shooting solely on like an a7r2 or r3 to have like the photo video Because I don't know there's something about having like a robust camera body when you're shooting portraits It just makes you feel a lot better. It's more traditional for me Like you don't want to show up to the function like with this knowing that it's just as good quality Like I don't know there's also like you kind of lose credibility like people are like How are you gonna capture like good photos with like this small of a camera when you know the professionals are using like the Freaking like 1dx mark twos with a huge battery group. I mean so there's that like clout factor Is that even make sense all the lenses made for Canon like the L series lens and the Sigma R series? Like I love those lenses to death. They're super great quality and they're a lot of them are weather sealed Meaning that you can kind of get them wet and they'll be fine Like the Canon bodies are also weather sealed like the 60 mark 2 and the Canon 5D mark 4 and the 1dx mark 2 Like all those are weather sealed meaning you can shoot in the rain Which is a super great thing to have like I hate taking the Sony out in the rain because I don't know if It's gonna mess up. So yeah, that kind of wraps up Canon moving on to Sony So a few years ago when Sony first launched these a series cameras They were blowing every other company out of the water in terms of video video has been insane The fact that they've been able to do so much in like such a short amount of time is very impressive And like kudos to Sony for figuring it out like their 60 frames per second is buttery smooth Their s-log which meanings like a flat profile meaning that you can color grade it later It looks super great and they just have a lot more options with video like Canon video has kind of sucked Like to be honest. It kind of sucks except in the newer versions Like a lot of people were mad that the 60 mark 2 doesn't come with 4k and yeah, that's kind of annoying But I don't I think it's it's mainly meant for photos anyway You know I mean oh side note Have you guys noticed that a lot of youtubers are hopping on the 60 mark 2 bandwagon? I'm not saying I told you so but huge youtubers are switching over like Casey Neistat Peter McKinnon travel feels Jessica Covey See, I mean not that like I had the 60 mark 2 first, but I Don't know so video Sony just has way more options You can do a lot more this is only the mark one so technically I have to do external 4k meaning I have to buy like a separate monitor, but the a7 os 2 does internal 4k, which is super handy All right, so the cons of sony's first off It's super expensive their lenses are like double the price of a lot of Canon lenses I mean obviously they're good quality and they're you know super sharp and precise But I mean it's just so much money to be forking out for a lens when you can be buying Canon gear or whatever Another annoying thing is that if you do already have Canon lenses You're gonna have to buy the adapter meaning that The autofocus isn't gonna be as great like you're gonna be losing a lot of Functions because it's not the native lens So even with this adapter a lot of the autofocus capabilities just like don't work And if it does work, it's either super slow or super lagging meaning that like if you're using an adapter with the Canon lens I only use it mainly for videos if I want to do like manual focus I'm not gonna be using autofocus anyway Then it doesn't really matter But if you are trying to shoot like sports or something that does need autofocus like you can't use an adapter You have to use a Sony native lens just because like you're not gonna be able to capture the shot Okay, so after that long spiel I'm actually considering selling my Sony a7s with this lens and three batteries and the adapter and the charger If you have serious inquiries like please email me and I'd be happy to talk over pricing But I'm trying to get this off my hands because one reason and one reason only I love the video I love everything about it. It's just that the stupid screen Sony Why can't you make a flip-out screen like that would make life so much easier for so many youtubers so many vloggers Like the fact that I can't see myself when I'm vlogging literally I miss so many shots It's so out of focus and like I can't work with it anymore Which is why I'm trying to switch over to something like the Panasonic GH4 or GH5 Or something that has a flip-out screen so I can freaking vlog If Sony made a vlogging camera that had a flip-out screen that would literally answer all my prayers But as of right now, I need to switch over. I need to try something new But I mean obviously if you're not vlogging then Sony's a great camera I mean people are using it for a super high quality production values Like literally putting on a stabilizer or on a shoulder rig like instantly takes it to another level with some color grading And if you're shooting in 24 frames per second, it looks super cinematic and you'll be fine as far as like user friendliness I definitely think that the Canon is way easier to use like the first few weeks I had the Sony I literally had no idea how to work any of the settings just because like they're super hard to figure out They go very in-depth in a lot of detail that I had no idea what they were talking about Eventually I figured out how to make it work, but there's still a lot of things that I feel like I haven't Jumped into or figured out but like to be honest like I don't necessarily need all those functions right now So obviously there are tons of other brands out there Canon and Sony are kind of just the two most popular ones in the market right now as far as you know What is the best brand for you? It really depends on the type of photos or videos or just production style that you're gonna be doing Each brand is very good at various things. You got to find the right combination of quality price Ergonomics and like what you're gonna be using it for because if you're looking to do video that obviously kind of go the Sony route If you're looking to do photos kind of go the Canon route if you're trying to find like a happy medium like I am right now Like I mean, yeah, obviously it sucks like carrying around like two bodies that each cost like $2,000 But I don't know like I haven't figured out the answer yet If someone does know like what the best photo video camera is like for me personally like I'd love to I like the Canon 1dx mark 2 to have like that 120 frames per second and like super great photos But first off that's like a 7 grand camera and it's huge like that's massive. I can't be taking that around everywhere So if I could wrap it all up and make a perfect camera It would first off be Canon's picture profile and like their photo capabilities with Sony's video capabilities with like a Panasonic body on like a Fujifilm format camera Yeah, that would be a badass camera if anyone knows anything like that Please leave it down below that kind of wraps up all I have to say about Canon versus Sony If you have any more questions, feel free to leave them down below I'll try and get as many as I can Specifically talking about camera gear as far as photography and videography the specifics of that That's an entirely new concept that I can make videos about later But yeah, that's it make sure you guys like comment and subscribe and I'll see you guys next time
