Mr. Martin Castein, I appreciate your work! Thank you for your amazing informative videos!
Thank you so much Luis!!!!
Agree, 5DIII is the one you don't want to let off your hands. Probably the most comfortable camera I've ever used (1DX might be slightly sweeter, but its big and heavy, so not always reasonable). I brought it for a review only and loved so much that I sold my 5DII and bought myself Mark III instead (for special colours I saved my 5D Classic). It also accepts Magic Lantern (actually it's the top camera of all available with ML) which brings focus peak, trap focus, zebras and tons of other features. My complain is that in minimum shutter (P\AV mode) it only goes up to 1\250. I miss the shorter values for shooting action. About ISO... I posted some pictures at 25600 on Instagram and not a single viewer said a word about their quality.
Hey could you explain further about that minimum shutter @ 1/250 please
@@leonmullingscreative You can't set automatic minimum shutter speed shorter than 1/250 in Av mode (can longer - 1\125, 1\60 etc.). If you want to set shorter (1\500, 1\1000 etc.) you have to go M or Tv mode... More recent DSLRs (e.g. 80D, 6DII and many more) let you set minimum shutter speed in Av all the way from max to min available in whole steps.
I Agree I love My Mark III it's a work horse, I love the feel and the way the colors looks. One think you have to is get the exposure right and the colors pops. Doesn't do well when you blow the high lights. Mark III with the Canon 70-200 II lens no Joke. Even the budget 50mm 1.8 off the change
Last few years I have been shooting surfing photography. My main body is a 5D MK IV with the 300mm f2.8 L II, and around my other shoulder is my trusted 5D MK III with the 70-200 f2.8 L which I use for headshots and those beach photos of the surfers entering/exiting the surf.
Yeah, the autofocus with tracking on the IV is much better, especially in low light such as at dawn. But, when the subject is at a walking pace, the III is perfect in low light.
Why have I not gone to the R series? - battery life and awesome quality second-hand low shutter count bodies of both the III and IV are available. I picked up another Mk IV a month ago for $AU1200 with only 7k shutter count, as it was sitting in a studio as a standby camera.
I've got a 7D and a 5D Mark II, planning to add a 5D and a 6D in the next few months and consider myself set for cameras for the rest of my life.
Your reviews show how absolutely ridiculously good your photos are. It doesn't matter what camera and how old it is. Ok, with the new models, the way to a photo is certainly sometimes easier - keyword eye autofocus. But the results speak absolutely for themselves. Through your inspiration, I recently bought a Canon 1DX for around 670 euros and I love it and the images I get with it.
Thank you so much, means a lot feedback like that. Hope you will enjoy your 1dx everyone loves them.
Do you have a red focus point and can see where it focuses? Or do you have to trust the camera that it does focus where you want it to?
@@lerx1980 The camera shows the focus point like other cameras I have. I don't trust any of them, even with the 1DX I check the images. What I can say is that I have never had as many accurately focused images in Servo Autofocus as I did with the 1DX. It really is a different world. So far I only had cameras in the 6d class, Eos RP, Panasonic G81, Canon 5ds. For the price I paid there is nothing better I have found. Of course an Eos R6 is better but at a much higher price point, so the 1DX does it for me.
@@avsthomas Thanks for your answer? How do you compare the RP vs the 1DX? The are on the same price level used, so thats why Im asking.
Canon had long been criticized for their âsoftâ images, so I think this is what made them change things up on the 5D3? Focusing and other things were improved over previous models, however, some issues were there with low light and processing, as you alluded to. There were many reports of a âMagenta castâ to the skin tones, and I noticed this. I did not like the way the 5D3 handled red colors, and I got rid of the one I had.
Really good point you brought up, that a lot of people have misconceptions of, and that is there are some things that are âbaked inâ on files, even in RAW. And, even if one shoots RAW & JPEG, if you choose a color profile, it can and does effect the RAW files to a certain extent. Best way is to just shoot and learn what each Camera model can do, and go from there.
I own and use, a 5D4, and Canon did âfixâ a lot of things. LIve View focusing that works, great colors and skin tones, reliable focusing, and decent video, but that camera could have been so much more. There was no excuse for not having the SD card slot be UHS-II capable. Heck, my old XT-1 Fuji has a UHS-II card slot! Battery grip that should have been designed to use a larger battery ala what Nikon bodies do.
Some 5D4âs were known for being battery hungry, and mine is one of them. It âeatsâ the lousy LP-E6N batteries for lunch! And yes, those batteries are lousy. I hear people speak well of those batteries, but I am not one of them. Iâve had far better luck out of the EN-EL15 batteries I use in my Nikon bodies.
The 5Ds Series offered in camera crop mode, and the 5D4 should have done so as well. I realize the 5ds were 50 megapixels, but if Canon had made the 5D4 be 32-36 megapixels, it would have been a huge hit. So many possibilities. YES, I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with my 5D4. I will not part with it as I used it for my Sonâs Wedding, and did not use flash out of respect for the âpaid Prosâ there. I took a lot of ISO 12800 photos, due to the light limits of my 24-70 F4.0 L lens. The PROS all had 5D3âs with a GoDox flash unit, and did great work. My Son & Daughter admitted to me they liked mine as much or better. I think they were being nice. đ
I do not consider myself much of a Videographer, but I must say that the choice of Codec Canon did for the 4K video on the 5D4, was ridiculous. It looks good, but eats up the memory cards. Plan on using at least a 128GB Compact Flash card! Iâm not even going to get into the stupid crop effect for 4K. I do think the 1080p out of my oleâ 70D, looks better than on the 5d4 1080p?
Stay safe and Happy Shooting!
Love your vids, real life expirience you have with those cameras is just so valuable and thanks for passing on that knowledge to us. Just one tip, invest in better audio, your vids are amazing, dont let them suffer cuz of that.
Thank you! I made a big mistake on the audio on this video I only realised after.
I recently bought a 5D2 after seeing Martinâs videos. A near mint, 5k shutter example with warranty for ÂŁ299 - AMAZING bargain! I had intended to buy a 5D Classic next, but when I saw amazing prices on mark 3 bodies online, I grabbed a Mk.3 instead. Glad I did: I am absolutely loving everything about it (not least the colours SOOC.) For my tastes the mark 2 colour is a little overwhelming, whereas the mark 3 colour seems more subtle. Itâs all personal preference I suppose. My God though - really good used 5D3 bodies at ÂŁ450 (when these cheaply-built little mirrorless things with their horrid EVFs cost ÂŁThousands.) What strange times we live in!
Glad you found a camera you really like!
You basically told my story. I was looking for a full frame camera and couldnât beat the price of the 5d mk iii. Iâm still in my learning curve but enjoying the experience. It goes well with my 90d.
Hi Martin,you are spot on about the 5d mark iii.I have got one and used it for last four years at weddings.I only upgraded from the 5d mark ii for the dual card slots.
I also have the 6d.As you say the autofocus is not a problem with the mark ii as I only ever use centre point.
Even my 6d snaps in autofocus quickly with the centre point.I think people get far too caught up with all these focus points.Love your content.Thanks.
I agree with the dynamic range. I edit alot when I do more fine artish edits in my portrait work and the quality easy starts to break down when I recover to much high lights or lift shadows
I used a 5Diii for like, eight years. Loved it. Took it around the world a few times. It felt like a part of my hand. Since that camera Iâve gone through an RP, EOS R, R6, and a 6D original, and nothing has felt as responsive, intuitive, and ergonomic as that 5Diii. That camera was peak canon as far as work flow and ergonomics.
Yeah I agree Andrew the workflow/ergonomics were just outstanding.
I am tempted to get 5D3. Every camera has its own specialty, according to my needs. Presently, I enjoy using my D800 for landscapes. my D300 during concerts, where files are easy to edit. Canon 5D3, I am aiming for portraiture, where skin tone is a bonus and heard from my fellow colleagues. Perhaps for street/events, I may use it also. For landscapes, I see Gary Gough (he has a channel also) has been using it
The 5D Mark III is one of the few FF Canons Iâve never felt I needed. I went from the 5D Mark II to the 6D and then 6D Mark II. Both had their pros and cons, but for me as an amateur they where enough. That was before my weakness for the 1D-series started to show itselfâŠ
I would put the 5D Mk.III in the same generation as the 1DX, which I own. Many things seem to be similar to what you describe. The programmable buttons, a bit better ergonomics, better low light capability and probably better or at least more advanced autofocus. The 1DX has a so complex AF system that I feel intimidated by it sometimes. Itâs another reason for me liking the older cameras better. From the analog Eos 3 up to the 1D Mark IV the autofocus system was almost identical.
I do feel that the files of the 1DX comes out a bit soulless. As you say about the 5D Mk.III, maybe too sharp.
Of the three first generations of Canon pro sensors, I would say that the 5D Mk III / 1DX are a bit more boring than the earlier ones. I can understand why pro photographers feel a need to upgrade their system, but for amateurs like myself, the first generation, 5D / 1Ds Mk.I and Mk.II are producing nicer pictures straight out of the camera. The second generation, 5D Mk II / 1Ds Mk III are great as well, but I do believe that the earlier ones will be remembered longer because of the character of the photos. They make a dilettante like me feel pleased with the results. Great video as usual!
Thanks for the comment, I agree the earlier cameras had more character Im not sure why Canon didnt really ever seem to be aware of this later on, i guess its different engineers and different priorities.
@@MartinCastein I believe that they where aware of it, but if I remember correctly, the third generation came about in the middle of the âDxO-warsâ. A lot of people where completely fixated on DxO scores, high resolution and dynamic range. Canon had to try for higher performance in synthetic test or they would have lost too much to Sony and Nikon. In my honest opinion a lot of the high performers on that list looked quite boring. Clinical and soulless.
@@mberggren9768 Ah yes the dxo-mark wars of 2012-16 hahaha love it.
Thx Martin for your honest review on the mark iii.
We've spoke in the past when I was getting the old tartan banding in the shadows from my 5D. It does look aweful and there was no way I could (ltd experience) recover those files.
I seen that as a positive experience as I quickly realised where the 5D would come apart.
The 6D never suffered from it (again in my ltd experience) it's odd how it skipped a generation only to return again!
Your channels great and it's always a pleasure to listen and be involved Martin! đđđ
Hi Chris, yes I know who you are haha dont worry, the banding is forgivable on the 5d classic but for me on the mark iii it was just ridiculous at that stage when i was upgrading from the mark ii and then the mark iii was back to that banding again. I remember getting the mk iii when it came out and i was like "not this again..." Although you get it on the mark ii as well it wasnt quite as bad as that. 6d stomps all over that.
@@MartinCasteinplanning to get either or. Should I get the 6d?
@@barrylyons8102 depends if you shoot paid events or not, if you do paid events id get the mark iii, also get the mark iii if you plan to shoot 1.4 or 1.2 primes wide open, otherwise id look at the 6d. in basic terms the 6d has the better sensor and the iii has the better body, the mark iii body is a lot better though as its focus system.
Hi Martin, as usual another interesting review. I've been watching your videos for a little while now, I'm kinda tired of hearing "built like a tank" on camera reviews so yours are sort of a fresh air here. I own a 5D and just bought a 5D mark III, only because I saw a cheap one online (I was looking for a lens and ended up buying a "new" body haha). I do landscapes with the 5D, and that's pretty much all I do to be honest, I think it will be a great experience to see results from both cameras in the same spot. Hope I don't end up selling my 5D since I'm kind of in love with it!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great video! Can you do a review of the Nikon D750? I upgraded from my 5D Mark III 6 months ago and usability, tracking, detail, etc, it all excels above it even in shadow rendering, dynamic range and the look of noise but I constantly go back and forth and realize I'm not in love with the colour as the 5D mark III. I'm not sure if it's just me but it takes a lot more work to edit the D750 files to what I like regarding colour, particularly with skin. I'd like to hear your opinion on it, thanks!
I will probably do a review of it, I found the same thing, the d750 is much much better at all of the technical stuff but the colour is just really hard work. Everyone finds the same, its such a shame as its an outstanding camera otherwise.
This was the colder winter in northern sweden in 30 years , was out on a photowalk in 44.5 f for 1.5 hours and while my 5d3 was lagging alot , took 2 seconds everything I change aperture or any changes but it got all the photos . Itâs a Tank
Excellent that is seriously cold and the fact it worked at all in that is impressive
If I wanted to use a 5Diii for mostly street photography on manual/vintage lenses, do you think it's a bit overkill? Or would I be better of going for an older version? FYI I own a Fuji mirrorless already, but its quite expensive find experimental lenses for mirrorless; hence why I am considering a DSLR.
By the way, really good video. Shows how much knowledge and experience you have, and not just reading out a spec sheet.
Not overkill at all I think it would be a good choice
Great video. Would say ISO 6400 was my top limit for files from this camera - after that noise and colours go off the rails a bit.
Agreed on the sharpening, which seems extreme. I remove default sharpening on import now. Also strongly agree about using the cross types only, which is a must, really improves AI performance to keep things workable.
Can see what you mean about 5D III colours too. Had a 6D and it had much better colours straight out of camera. Made portrait work a lot easier. Shame the AF system was so basic - if you are a manual vintage lens user, I think the 6D is a better option because of the colours. And so cheap now - can't believe I paid nearly 2 grand for mine new, sans lens they are 350 now for body only. Reminds me of the thing that I miss most from the 5D III - WiFi!
Comparing this against later Nikon's isnât fair - the D750 came out two years later and improves on the Canon in every way except handling and colour science. The D800 is a fairer comparison - for an extra 100 quid used you get enough resolution to make it worth looking at. I would hold on and put an extra 100 on top of that for a D810 though - that one was a real Canon killer for me. AF was perfect, dynamic range staggering (in comparison to 5D III), general tweaks and AA filter removal made it a more compelling option. Here you are getting into D750 price territory, so you have to look at how you would be using the camera - D750 is better for everyday work/weddings, D810 is a studio monster.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, lots of useful points for new 5d III users.
I totally agree with you that the 5D and the 5D Mark ii 6d had better colors ânaturallyâ. The 5D Markiii is the last of the canon cameras to have true canon colors. And it does have something unique about it that the other canons donât have as well. Presets!! If you like to shoot with film emulation presets or any kind of preset for that matter like Masten labs etc. the 5d markiii is by far the best!!! No question the others cannot do as well. I have seen people make the markiii look exactly like the contax 645 to the point you would not be able to distinguish. So If youâd like to shoot a real film and you want to shoot digital hybrid with it this is your camera. Also when shooting after golden hour the markiii has this amazing brown skin tone that shows up. Itâs just amazing. Another thing it shoots natural light and flash Equally amazing wish I cannot say for every camera before it. The markii is amazing and natural light but not as good as the Mark iii with OCF. but itâs also amazing. These are prob the best three four cameras ever made in terms of color to be honest. Markiv colors are not good. And itâs way more digital looking.
Yeah Id have to say I agree with you here, very good comment and thanks for making it. very interesting about the response it has to flash, Ive just been sat here thinking about that and I think you are right, although I hadnt really thought about that before. Agree on the 5div colours too. Thanks for this comment, made me think about a few things too.
@@MartinCastein Iâm kind of obsessed with this topic to be honest and how especially with older digital cameras you find that the sensors are almost like film stocks today it seems to me that theyâre all very close to each other but certainly back in the day the variety of digital cameras some were better in natural light and some with OCF. Some like the 5D Mark iii were great at both. Nikon doesnât have a camera in my opinion on the level of the 5dii or 6d thatâs almost magical. Even the D700 D3s which is great isnât as unique. However they have many bodies that are great at both natural and OCF d700 D750 D3 D5 d810. With the exception in my opinion the D800e very close to that canon color with a Nikon twist. D800 is great as you mentioned.
Very great video. This is true in worst light sytuation 5dm3 struggling with sharp picture. I remember 5d classic been sharper fir most sytuation. For studio portret is brilliant Camera.. Some comments remind me 7d mark I which was very speed camera with big noise look picture hovewer Still remember when upgrade monitor and this problem dissappear, magic happen what only show how important is monitor for picture edit.
Still using 5d3 for almost 2 years... I'm thinking to upgrade to EOS R or R6II mostly because of autofocus and smaller body compare to 5D series..
id probably go to the r6ii if i were you.
Hi Martin. I canât find any videos on the 1DX 18mp Iâd love to know your thoughts on that camera.
Rob
I havenât used one so I canât comment beyond saying the people I know in real life that have them all love them.
I think, I stick to my MKII for now. I can't justify the cost of jumping to the MK IV. As most of my photography is landscape, and I do not use ' filters ', Dynamic Range is important to me. Yes, I have my Nikon D800 and D7200 both of which have atleast two stops of extra dynamic range on the Canon , but I like my 5D MKII, plus te fact that I also have a few L lenses to go with it. I have looked at MKIII several times, and although the used prices are quite low now, but still something tells me not to bother. Very well explained and presented. Thank you.
I would prefer the mark ii over mark iii for landscapes, better colour and better dynamic range response
I'm opening a studio soon and I was thinking of just using my 5d mark3 as the main camera. I did think about buying the mark4 or Nikon D800 but no need I guess.
Ohhh Iâd focus so much more on marketing, the camera swaps you are looking at will do nothing
hi Martin, following your vedios when i can and love your comments about cameras, i have 7D, 6D and 90D, looking to buy 5Diii to make it even among my collection, do you think its wise?
Depends what you shoot? Why do you want it?
Great video Martin the answered a question I'd been looking for
Glad I could help
What do you think of how it compares to the original 1Dx? Used prices are more or less the same. I went with the 1Dx because I like shooting with a battery grip anyway, and the 1Dx solves the dynamic range problem.
Ive not used the 1dx so cant really comment on it accurately but I know many who have had both cameras and based on their feedback over the years Id say you are saying exactly the same thing they are.
Where do you find the 1Dx for 350âŹ-400âŹ?
Cameras apply sharpening to raw files? are you sure about that?
Martin, try the 1D Mark IV. :)
Does the mkiii or 6d have better live view focusing? I find myself using live view more when shooting non-models.
the way i use live view is to drop the mirror back down quickly to focus, its one of the focus options, the live view focussing actually in live view is just awful on both really.
I've owned my Mark III for over 10 years now and used to doing weddings up until a couple of years ago. I've moved to the Fuji system for most things I shoot now but occasionally pull out 5DIII. I was going to sell it but I cant part with it along with my 135L. For Environmental portraits its the one camera I can trust to get the colours right. While the Fuji is excellent the files are a tad too sharp and the Fuji skin tones not as good as canon. I'm unsure what I'm seeing in the latest generation of canon mirrorless full frame cameras but the files look too clinical/digital too me. It was one of the reasons I kept the 5DIII
interesting, do you think you will go back to canon then or stick with fuji?
@@MartinCastein I have acquired 6 Fuji lenses over the last 2 years so I don't think I will switch back. However I'm not sure about selling off the old canon. mainly for the portraits I get out of that 135L. If I find something that can nearly match it in Fuji, "Maybe" but until then I will keep the canon
@@julieholland9639 that 135 is just special isnt it, hard lens to beat for a lot of manufacturers. i dont see any issue with having 2 systems, most photographers do, me included.
I still shoot the 5D mk1 and currently looking for a 5D mk2 I briefly considered the mk3 and mk4 but finances limit my selection to the mk2. Good choice or not???
Hi Fred, yes its a good choice but look at the 6d 1 as well, its more similar in look to the 5d1 but it suffers from having a smaller body but its sensor is better than the 5d ii. Auto focus and iso are better too.
For shooting landscapes would I be better off on the canon 6d for better dynamic range?
6d has noticeably better dynamic range so id go for the 6d personally.
she looks cool
Owner of 2 5D MK3's with 7 pro lenses - Canon must hate, they over engineered this beast of a camera. Easy to use, reliable, damn near drop resistant, shutter counts reported at 500,000. Canon tries to stop you upgrading firmware to Magic Lantern with their last update. I've done nightclub shoots, low light, 24-70 red ring workhorse lens, I'll except a challenge on your 'R' bodies. Your going to lose. Canon does not like that? Current price about ÂŁ500 for body against an RF at 5K, need new lenses.
Iâd heard the colours from this are the closest to the mk1. Iâm colourblind so wouldnât be able to tell - I just trust the mk1âs colours!
Id say the 6d mark 1 is closer to the 5d 1, the 5diii is closer to the 5d 1 than the 5dii though. They are all good, you wont go wrong with any of them.
I have a 6DMk1 and 600d... A friend is selling the 5dMk3 for ÂŁ400 with a shutter count of around 5k... would you say to buy that to have the 6d and 5d?
Yes if that suits what you do
Shooting 5d classic and a 40d currently but much prefer the full frame viewfinder and donât want to have a separate set of crop lensesâŠ. Looking to consolidate my set up with a full frame workhorse camera that can do most everything pretty well and that can focus quickly and decently in lower light situationsâŠ. I want to spend most of my money on quality lenses such as the 24-70 f2.8 L mark iiâŠ. Wondering if the mark iii could be that camera or if the files look too different from the âclassicâ
I should also add that I want to get paid for my work
Yeah i would go for the mark iii in your case or even mark iv if you can stretch to it. The ideas of it being like the 5d etc shouldnt be your priority for paid work. Either of those cameras are you answer though.
@@MartinCastein Thank you!
@@MartinCastein Got a mark iii with a 24-105 f/4 and 17-40 f/4! Shooting a wedding in a couple weeks!
Great review Martin. Thanks for helping to confirm my choice to pass on the Mark III.
Glad to help
The AF system of the mk3 was a huge upgrade to the mk2. Along with dual card slots this body was as professional as it gets back in 2012.
Hi John, yes I think I bought it shortly after launch and it was a really big upgrade especially for the autofocus. Being able to use my 50mm 1.2 without fear was so much fun.
@Martin Castein are you planning a 5d4 review soon? Just got one used for super cheap and I love it. Still love my 5D classic more but I feel like im not using the mark 4 to its full potential yet.
I might do a mk iv reviews Iâm digging through hard drives finding photos but stick with the mark iv itâs excellent đ
what lens did you do for those street video shots at 4:25?
its the 50mm 1.4, i dont really recommend it though but it does ok for video like this, i dont like it much for photos though. just too unreliable.
yeah i recently traded mine for the nikon ais equivelant. focus was too dodgy for me. but the rendering can be nice
How does the 5D mkiii compare to the 5D mkii in your eyes? Anything you prefer about the mkii?
I prefer the mkii overall for its output. The focus on the mk iii is much better though. For me if they had just put the focus system into the mkii id have been happy with that.
@@MartinCastein I have heard that before. Iâd love to have the 5D mkiii AF system in my 5D mkii. Itâs the only thing I feel letâs the camera down overall. Another great video from yourself, and thankyou for the reply.
You are welcome!
Dear Martin, have you thought about the 5ds?
Hi yes i used that for a number of years, like a hi res 5d iii really
I was thinking of selling my MkIII for buying a Canon RP , now I have doubts
@5:49 I thought my eyes were going crazy on me. When I compared the 5d III against other cameras near the same era, including the 5D ii and Nikon D800, I observed the same. It felt like the images from the 5d iii are artificially sharp.
Yeah i am pretty sure they are adding quite a lot of sharpening to the raw file.
Any way to dial that back??
@@spost26 From what I can tell no. Its backed into the Raw. It appears to be a characteristic of the processing. I
Hi, canon 5d mark iii vs Nikon d610, which is better for wedding photography, and auto focus
thats a good questions and a bit harder to answer. The d600 wins on dynamic range by miles and miles, better buffer as well, the buffer on the 5d mark iii is really tiny like 9 or 11 shots or something and when the bride is coming down the aisle you can fill it really fast. If you are careful with it though you can get away with it. Overall though in other respects the 5d iii is the better wedding camera. However its more complicated than that because you have to take lens linup into account. While the 2.8 zooms are basically the same, the primes are not. Nikon is better at the 1.8 primes and canon is better at the 1.4/1,2 range generally other than at 50mm. If you want to shoot say 35 or 28mm 1.8 on one camera and 85mm 1.8 on another then nikon is better. If you shoot in a lot of really bright conditions with harsh light then nikon is better and for all else canon is better but overall i prefer the d600 but i expect most people would prefer the canon. The ergonomics on the canon are better.
@@MartinCastein for low light indoor photography which one you would recommend?
5d iii
Hey Martin! Iâm kinda confused between 5d mark iii and 6d i, any light to my confusion??
What do you photograph and what is your most used lend
@@MartinCastein Iâm thinking to start my journey only now, just casual street photograph and a bit of landscape! Iâm thinking of 50mm 1.8 also how do these compare with Sony A7 II, appreciate your response thanks!!
the sony focus isnt really good enough, id go with the 6d or a canon RP even if you can afford it.
@@MartinCastein really appreciate your video and reply, saved me a lot of money which I have decided to invest in lenses! Do you have any recommendations if I have a budget of 400$ ?
5Diii is great camera with lot of features. But colors are somehow better on 5D classic. Or 6D.
Yeah thats basically how I feel about them too.
hello, with what lense is the video of the girl shot with?
50 1.4, i dont really recommend it.
Loved the video clips of your friend, but the audio was just rubbish in the entire video.
What I did with the sound in this was so dumb im not even going to say what went wrong.....
Excellent vidéo, like every time !
I have 5D Classic, 5D3, 1DX, i Play with 5D2 but i dont have it, maybe later.
For my experience, i love color rendering of my 5D more than the others. But is not just the color science. Itâs about the feeling in the hand, the low level time process.
When i discovered my 1DX, 5D3, the color was not natural. I wanted to sell them. But i shoot more pictures and now i love it.
The color is so different. But for me itâs a modern analog cold camera. Maybe more neutral. I dont really know. But i love it specialy in high ISO. I like the film look.
For the sharpeness, i apply negative setting on my raw, but now i just use high iso (12800) and use grain.
I can have film look but not the creamy look i have with 5D1, 5D2 đ
Thanks Jonathan. This is the kind of comment where I can tell youve really gone through it with these cameras and dug deep into their capabilities.
Sounds like you need a new microphone my man. Did you use onboard by accident?
I had one, just helps if you plug it in properly đ€Ł
This camera is hot trash compared to the Mark 4 and newer ones due to it not having ISO invariance. I was so excited to sell it and move to the Mark 4. I now have an R5, though.
Now, buy 5D markiii and 6D. please you choice.
What are you photographing, if you are doing paid work id go for the mark iii. But it depends what you photograph?
