You can grab yourself a bargain today in the form of old Canon full frame cameras, namely the 5D mark iii and the original 6D. These two oldies are being retired by many professionals to eBay, allowing many more people access to kit that only the upper echelons of the photography had access to back in the day. But they came out in 2012, so would you consider getting one now in 2019?
I think i'm going to go with the 6d.What lens would you consider getting if you were going to only have one? I will be using it only for shooting floral photography, think more still life, not macro. 35mm? 50mm?
@@rwalden87 I have the 50mm 1.4 and 1.8 lenses - both are really nice on the 6D and thanks to the fast apertures you can get some really nice pictures in low light (:
I would like a 6D for a complementary camera for my 5Ds. When I can’t change lenses, when 51MPx is too much and when high iso is needed. There’s not a lot of difference with the 5D Mark III.
Nice review, but it sounds like you are saying that a 6D can't be used professionally and is only good for amateurs. I have to respectfully disagree. I started shooting weddings with manual focus/manual wind film cameras, then my first digital was an Olympus E20N (4 shot buffer, raw shooting was not possible, no HSS, and it was $2,000!). When I stopped shooting weddings, I was using a Canon 20D and 10D. There is a youtuber around somewhere that claims he has about 1 million shutter clicks each on a pair of 6D's. I just photographed a wedding with the 6D for the first time and it is VERY much a professional unit, and this thing can practically see in the dark! I don't do video, so I can't speak for that aspect of the camera, but if you do weddings, portraits, sports, landscape, or anything that doesn't require video, the 6D, to me, is an amazing machine. You are right, though, BOTH units are an INCREDIBLE value! I got my 6D with 175 shutter clicks for $750!! What a steal!! Not trying to "crash the party", but just saying that the professional part is in the photographer, not the camera.
the 6D CAN be used professionally, Idid it for years. However, its subpar AF system and the fact it only has a 1/4000s shutter like a cheap Rebel tells you all you need to know, its not a professional grade camera. Its a prosumer camera. A Rebel can be used professionally as well.
6D can be used however you will have a ton of miazed shots. I kept my 6d after selling my 1dxii and 5d4 as a cheap inexpensive alternative. I still use it but man do I miss the AF on the other two
It amazes me when people talk about the two card slot, I never used to be able to shoot two rolls of film at the same time, i’m a professional photographer in Los Angeles and I use the 6D all the time for gigs with no issues , nice in-depth information on both cameras!
It’s definitely something that gives me peace of mind - the immediate cloud backup of more modern devices has become the new third slot for many 😅 soon we’ll have backups of our online backups 😅
I have both of these and I will never sell them. I don’t think upgrading my equipment to the new Canon gear will help me improve my photography. That’s what I tell my students that attend our photography workshops. Thank you for your video.
Do you think the Mark III(450k shutter actuations)with 2x batteries, a cf card and a new shutter for replacement is a good deal for 550$ or I should buy a 6D(15k shutter actuations) that comes with the same accessories(without the shutter)for the same price.
Autofocus: The central focus point in the 6D focuses almost in total darkness what is very useful for example for weddings photographers in many low light situations. Magic Lantern can be installed also in the 6D. The 6D has a better sensor in terms of dynamic range and in my opinion, also in terms of image quality. Greetings.
One thing I'd like to add is both of these two camera's raw files can be opened using the old version of lightroom which means there is no need for the subscription version.
just covert your "modern camera" RAWS to digital negative with the free tool Adobe DNG converter, then you can open them in an old version of LR and PS. I do that with the RAWs from my 80D
No mention of the organic image output of that 6D sensor. Colours and contrast are stunning SOOC . Better than my long gone D610 and was between than my 5DS when I had it. Reminds me of my D700 with better high ISO and higher res. Love the 6D 🤩
I think it is funny how just over 10 years ago people were using the 5D2 for professional events and now people assume that same level of quality would not be ok for an event. I client would not be able to tell the difference between a 5D2 vs a 5D4 images if you get your shots right.
I still own and use both the 6D, the 5DMii and 5DMiii, But I also have the MarkIV, and while I agree that most clients can't tell the difference in picture quality, as a photographer I notice a massive difference in usability, newer functions (i.e. dpaf and touch screen) as well the a much quieter shutter for weddings and events (the 5DMarkii sounds like a machine gun going off). Those changes make upgrading to the newer models more appealing to me as a professional in the field.
Interesting points 🤔 coming along a similar path to you, having owned all of the previous FF DSLR range I can also attest to the new functionality as being a game changer for usability. Although Venus is right when they state that image quality has changed much, especially from a clients perspective. And YES the MARK II is very noisy !! 😂😂😂
@@bob-hw3qc I have a 5Dmk2, and a 6Dmk2 and I'm thinking of trading the 5Dmk2 for an original 6d. The 5D mk2 is very noisy and heavy, and I want to use it for streetphotography alongside my 6Dmk2. (button layouts would be more similar also) Would that be a sensible move in your opinion, based on your experience with both 5Dmk2 and original 6D?… or would you consider that to be a downgrade?
In my opinion the most significant advantage of FF is that you get the most out of fast lenses in low light conditions. These cameras allow you a pathway into FF, but the most significant cost will be the lenses.
Picked up a 6D with a 22k shutter count for $700 AUD or $490 USD! Came with 2 batteries, original box, manuals, etc. So worth it as now I can invest heavy in good lenses! First Full-frame camera too!
The 6D is an okay camera on mine only the center focus point is reliable. I have seen many 6D’s that have the same problem. The 5D3 is going to absolutely brutally pummel the 6D in the focusing arena. The low light advantage given to the 6D is not real. In fact I prefer the 5D2 iq over the 6D. The 6D can work for you it just not my favorite camera.
I went for a 6D, a used 5D Mark III was too near of what I paid for my new 5Ds. The 6D gets me a second body to change lenses much less often, higher iso, wifi remote control - though the 5Ds has an SD card accessory for that, but I will also need an expensive CF card then, and slightly more sensitive center AF point. $350 for a practically new 6D. It’s amazing how inexpensive one can get access to DSLR technology this days. Not only cameras, but pro lenses as well.
It's November 2020 and the 6D is still a very capable camera. I recently purchased a 5Ds from B&H Photo for $1299, the same price I paid for a new 6D in December 2016.
Great for their time - if your looking to do video the focusing for dances might be annoying - unless you are filming someone else 🙏 for photos you’re good to go 🙏👍💪
In conclusion "the 6d has wifi and gps, great full frame and better dynamic range, lighter than the 5d3 and built well. but if your a professional then get the 5d3...it has dual card slots and lots of auto focus points." The 6D is the clear winner!
I am still using a 6d and it is capable of producing superb images. For me , its biggest drawback is the lack of focus points . Focus and recompose works up to a point , but when using wide open fast lenses nailing critical focus can be difficult I am actually thinking about replacing mine with a 5d3.
Interesting perspective Anthony. I think nowadays as the tech is improving we see the cracks in the older models more and more. As a filmmaker myself I used the 6D all the time for corporate and passion projects alike. Nowadays I wouldn't use it, but that's purely because of the newer cameras that I use and am used to. Things like DPAF, more focus points, faster processors and touch screens, are a big pull away from the older models to the new. Saying that though if i was just starting out or upgrading from an older APS-C model I would LOVE this camera. (: 📸
I bought a used 6D about 2 years ago after having never owned a full frame before and I don't know if it was just 'my' 6d but I had a terrible time getting in focus shots at lower f stops. Thought I just stunk at taking pics until I finally went for a 5d mark IV this past January and since then......heaven. Worth every penny of the 1,800 I paid for it. They're even cheaper now. Don't get me wrong, I had a ton of great 6d shots and I have a bad feeling there was just something wrong with mine although it could be I'm just an idiot. Hope others have a better experience because I had high hopes for it and loved it for what it was.
I have both and work as a pro The 6D has a much better sensor for very high ISO, the 5D3 is more rugged has better AF and dual card slots, while having a slightly poorer sensor over about 1600 ISO Below that the sensors are virtually identical for IQ If I could only have one it would be the 5D3
Old but the choice is relatively simple, video and casual photography 6D, action photography and weather sealing - 5D3. Low price full frame general photography - get a 5D or 5D2. Just bought a mint late production 5D for as little as EUR 135,- I still have my 5D3 - bought new in 2015. More camera than I ever need, that’s why I did not replace it for the 5D4. Use a 70D + STM zooms for video. I also play around with Nikon with an oldie D700 and D800. Don’t make a living with photography, just a hobbyist. Right now thinking about the next gen of mirrorless - which must be capable of using Canon glass. R and RP not there yet, unless at an even lower price, R6 and R5 getting close, but at far too high a price, especially the latter. Waiting another gen. Might pick up a Sony A7iii as a stop gap once the price drops more. I like the R6, but 20mpx just below what I look for in a modern general purpose body, 24-26mpx is goldilocks for me.
Thanks for the video. I base my decision mainly on image quality, so I miss the sample pictures in this video. Speaking of image quality, I own two 5D Mark I bodies since 2006 and I worked with them for years. Now It´s time to upgrade my sistem and I will buy a 6D instead of a 5 Mk III, because I consider that it has a better sensor, more similar in image quality to the mavelous sensor of the 5D Mk I, with some features that I need like speed, extended dynamic range, wifi file transfer and a better screen, keeping that film-like output of the 5D Mk I. I´m a photographer from the film era, so I´m glad with the single center cross-type focus point. As you can see, I don´t carevery much about features, because I´ve been working with a camera built in 2005 uo to 2022!!! Image quelity is the main feature that I tend to consider. Greetings.
You make it sound like the 5D mk3 is the only one that takes Magic Lantern. But the 6D is on the supportlist as well. I just ordered a 6D for €625 with only 2100 clicks. Your review made me go for it. I am interested in trying magic lantern and use if as a bcam for photography next to my x-t3
I’d say more for the video options - but also more focus points, larger max ISO, slightly more megapixels and slightly faster continuous shooting. If you can get the Mark II at a decent price it’s still a beast of a camera 💪
Recently picked up a low count 6d. It has great image quality but I'm not keen on the limited focus points or the lack of joystick or lack of functionality compared to my 7d. While I appreciate the lack of bulk and weight with the 6d , I am very tempted to trade it in on a low mileage 5d3.
I have to admit the 5DMarkiii does have a few advantages over the 6D - but for the size I often find myself taking the 6D out when I need a full frame with me (:
Both are amazing 5d m3 has two card slots. They both have amazing colors but 6d has little better character and sharper because filter in sensor is almost not there
Good day from Tampa Florida Kai. Just found your channel. I have enjoyed two of your videos, so far and I shoot with the 6D. Really enjoyed your review. Be well and stay encouraged!!!
Kai, great content, thanks for putting this together to help those in need. The only disagreement I have is that the 6D is excellent for professional jobs, unlike your opinion of it. I don't want to discourage people or force them out of their budget when the 6D can certainly handle professional jobs. I have several magazine covers in the US, and three additional magazine covers in the UK, all shot with a 6D. Not looking for clout so I won't post where I can be found.
Hi there, thanks for your comments. I think you might have misunderstood what I meant here and just watching it back I didn’t make it very clear - as a corporate or wedding filmmaker I wouldn’t use this as a A cam, since that is my job. For photos I know many professionals who still use it as their primary camera and take some amazing shots (:
A full frame sensor would be really nice, but I stick to my 80D. The flip screen is so comfortable ^^ But I´m just a hobby photographer. Probably one day I will get the 6D Mark II (I really don´t know why this model got so much bad response...).
Yeah, I've had a play with the 6Dmarkii and think that it might be the vloggers dream camera. Although saying that I've heard really good things about the 80D too! (:
Solid video. Great comparison, would love to see some sample photos and footage. I recently upgraded our 6D to the 5D mk4. Much better all around. However, the 6D is solid. Just make sure if you buy used, you get it looked at. We got our 6D used and the flange was warped which caused images to be out of focus. Costs $250 US to get the issue fixed by canon. Decided to upgrade instead. My strong recommendation is to look at the m50 or the SL3 vs a used 6D mk1. Around the same price, you lose the full frame but the other features make up for it. Better quality image, auto focus, flip out screen and touch. Sharper image as well vs the 6D.
I got an m50 when it was first released based on the rave reviews and it was the worst Canon purchase I'd ever made. The images it produced weren't even comparable to 5d or 5d2, let alone a 6d.
I do mainly video production and used to use my 6D for wedding videos. When it comes to photography the 6D is still amazing, but I've found the 5DMarkIII and IV better for video. (:
I have a 6d and my sd card reader is not working anymore and it's quite expensive to replace it. So i was wondering if it's better to buy a new 6d or buy 5d mark III. I was happy with the 6d but if buying the 5d mark III is an upgrade i'm considering it..
I want you to do one on the canon 6d mark 2 and a old one the canon 400d came out 2006 it takes great pictures but i think i need a better lens. I like the 5d mark 3 cause its good in low light situations and I love how big it is
Dude, how about webcam functionality? Will they do it? I'm thinking about scoring a 6D on CL but only if I can use it as a webcam. Do tell sir,,,,do tell. Thank you.
Hello, I hope you are well. I have a Canon 5d mark 4 camera. When recording a movie, the camera shutter speed is not less than 500 and it has more. Is there a solution or not? What is the problem?
I used the 6D to film the documentary: “memories of Dunoon” I used the faithful picture profile and the24-105mm kit lens - so I would say that it is possible
The 5d mark iii has its benefits for photo like the joystick and wider spread of focusing points, but the 6d has benefits being newer. Check out the Jared Polin comparison between the two.
Both old technology, but still do the job, you've got to work the focus though, and the HD pictures is not as sharp as more modern canons like the markiv. I still use my from time to time !
Hi, I have both of them.Using the 6D as the second backup camera. The problem i have is, my telephoto zoom lens is EF 70-300 F4-F5.6 L IS USM. Which should I upgrade first? 6D to 5d mark iv first, or upgrade 70-300 to the 70-200? I have 24-70 f2.8 L ii & 16-35 F4 IS USM
The 600d is a crop frame - which means it has a smaller sensor and doesn’t work as well in Low light or with high ISO values. The 6D is full frame - larger sensor better low light performance. 🙏👍🤩
As a film shooter with NO autofocus at all. Hearing people bitch about slow auto focus makes me crack TF up. For fashion, portrait, headshot and event photography, the 5d mark ii/iii are still extremely viable cameras. The latitude is JUST fine as well. If you're overblowing highlights THAT much, you probably shouldn't be messing with professional level cameras to begin with. The mark ii and iii handle overblown highlights very well. Even 6,000 usd digital cameras today still barely touch the latitude of 35mm film, let alone medium format film. Moral of this story? LEARN TO PROPERLY EXPOSE YOUR IMAGES QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY. I stopped listening to gear heads and people with GAS. They're dumber than a bag of bricks and argue to hell to justify why they spend so much money on gear, whilst being mediocre photographers.
For photography these cams are great options, but for video the internal h.264 is very soft and mushy and totally not up to par with the Sony A7S, that also shoots 1080@60fps and 720@120fps, all for the same price as the 5d3 or 6d. And yes you can record RAW with the 5d3 but that will require fast expensive memory cards and gives you huges files. while the A7s shoots the same sharpness straight out of the box ;) And if you want fullframe for cheap you can also consider getting an Canon M50+speedbooster or Sony A6300+speedbooster, in the same price range and then you have usable auto-focus in your video's. 5d raw vs internal comparison to see the shitty stock 5d3 footage: czcams.com/video/B5P13iyAJvg/video.html

Could be a lens calibration issue?

Thanks for the video. I base my decision mainly on image quality, so I miss the sample pictures in this video. Speaking of image quality, I own two 5D Mark I bodies since 2006 and I worked with them for years. Now It´s time to upgrade my sistem and I will buy a 6D instead of a 5 Mk III, because I consider that it has a better sensor, more similar in image quality to the mavelous sensor of the 5D Mk I, with some features that I need like speed, extended dynamic range, wifi file transfer and a better screen, keeping that film-like output of the 5D Mk I. I´m a photographer from the film era, so I´m glad with the single center cross-type focus point. As you can see, I don´t carevery much about features, because I´ve been working with a camera built in 2005 uo to 2022!!! Image quelity is the main feature that I tend to consider. Greetings.
You make it sound like the 5D mk3 is the only one that takes Magic Lantern. But the 6D is on the supportlist as well. I just ordered a 6D for €625 with only 2100 clicks. Your review made me go for it. I am interested in trying magic lantern and use if as a bcam for photography next to my x-t3
You are correct sir! Thanks for pointing this out! Glad that you got one! When you get a chance feel free to share your creations with me here (:
6D can film RAW with magic lantern aswell
Just bought a 6d with 1041 shutter clicks for 350!
Awesome 😎
Kai Creative I’m going to pair it with me 35mm 1.4 I
From where ?
6D takes magic lantern too
Serious question, why the 5D Mark III over the 5D Mark II? They're essentially the same damn camera, and the Mark II is significantly more affordable.
I’d say more for the video options - but also more focus points, larger max ISO, slightly more megapixels and slightly faster continuous shooting. If you can get the Mark II at a decent price it’s still a beast of a camera 💪
I just brought the Canon 6D and its great. I love it
Have you tried vlogging/videos if so whats ur thoughts
Thanks man. Awesome content made by someone who knows - and loves - what he's talking about.
Thanks for the support man!! Much appreciated (:
Canon 6D & 5D3 use DIGIC 5+ not DIGIC 5, big difference.
Recently picked up a low count 6d. It has great image quality but I'm not keen on the limited focus points or the lack of joystick or lack of functionality compared to my 7d. While I appreciate the lack of bulk and weight with the 6d , I am very tempted to trade it in on a low mileage 5d3.
I have to admit the 5DMarkiii does have a few advantages over the 6D - but for the size I often find myself taking the 6D out when I need a full frame with me (:
@@KaiCreative kept the 6d , got a 7d MK2 . Very happy chappie !
Good review and summary. I have both and they are great cameras!
5 years old and this video is still getting views 😮
Love both of them
Both are amazing 5d m3 has two card slots. They both have amazing colors but 6d has little better character and sharper because filter in sensor is almost not there
Why compare specs and not actual photos? So annoying 😩😭.
6D has always had Magic Lantern available. But you need to run the camera on v 1.16 firmware to use it.
I bought a 6d 2 years ago, chose it over the 5diii purely as I take it away with me and having built in WiFi was essential.
I'm using 750d t6i now, considering 5d3 age ,it was still better than my t6i
I have come across a Canon 5 D M II with only 877 shutter uses, for a decent price. Unfortunately the MII only has a CF card slot and not a duel slot.
Good day from Tampa Florida Kai. Just found your channel. I have enjoyed two of your videos, so far and I shoot with the 6D. Really enjoyed your review. Be well and stay encouraged!!!
Kai, great content, thanks for putting this together to help those in need. The only disagreement I have is that the 6D is excellent for professional jobs, unlike your opinion of it. I don't want to discourage people or force them out of their budget when the 6D can certainly handle professional jobs. I have several magazine covers in the US, and three additional magazine covers in the UK, all shot with a 6D. Not looking for clout so I won't post where I can be found.
Hi there, thanks for your comments. I think you might have misunderstood what I meant here and just watching it back I didn’t make it very clear - as a corporate or wedding filmmaker I wouldn’t use this as a A cam, since that is my job. For photos I know many professionals who still use it as their primary camera and take some amazing shots (:
@@KaiCreative Understood. Keep up the great work, you are appreciated .
Thanks darkmatter 🙏😊
You mean Headphone output , aint much use from headphone input port ,
A full frame sensor would be really nice, but I stick to my 80D. The flip screen is so comfortable ^^
But I´m just a hobby photographer. Probably one day I will get the 6D Mark II (I really don´t know why this model got so much bad response...).
Yeah, I've had a play with the 6Dmarkii and think that it might be the vloggers dream camera. Although saying that I've heard really good things about the 80D too! (:
@@KaiCreative What would you suggest between 5D mark iii and 6D mark ii... am confused on which to get by August
6d Mark 2 doesn't have headphone jack. Only one reason not to upgrade from 80d.
6D should have mark 3 in coming years containing headphone jack and joystick. Which shoot 4k at 60fps and 1080 at 120fps.
Okay do me video for 5d mark2 vs 800d image quality
Good video - Magic lantern also works on the Canon 6D (and 7D). cheers
can you make a video as camera buying guide that will help the beginner to buy right camera for them please..?
thank you
Thanks for your comment Shamrat - seems like a great idea for a video - first time camera buying guide - I’ll add it to my list 🙏
Solid video. Great comparison, would love to see some sample photos and footage. I recently upgraded our 6D to the 5D mk4. Much better all around. However, the 6D is solid. Just make sure if you buy used, you get it looked at. We got our 6D used and the flange was warped which caused images to be out of focus. Costs $250 US to get the issue fixed by canon. Decided to upgrade instead. My strong recommendation is to look at the m50 or the SL3 vs a used 6D mk1. Around the same price, you lose the full frame but the other features make up for it. Better quality image, auto focus, flip out screen and touch. Sharper image as well vs the 6D.
I got an m50 when it was first released based on the rave reviews and it was the worst Canon purchase I'd ever made. The images it produced weren't even comparable to 5d or 5d2, let alone a 6d.
Stop doing crack dude
The 6D is miles ahead of the crappy m50
Your said that you wont take the 6D for professional jobs. Why not?
I do mainly video production and used to use my 6D for wedding videos. When it comes to photography the 6D is still amazing, but I've found the 5DMarkIII and IV better for video. (:
I have a 6d and my sd card reader is not working anymore and it's quite expensive to replace it. So i was wondering if it's better to buy a new 6d or buy 5d mark III. I was happy with the 6d but if buying the 5d mark III is an upgrade i'm considering it..
I want you to do one on the canon 6d mark 2 and a old one the canon 400d came out 2006 it takes great pictures but i think i need a better lens. I like the 5d mark 3 cause its good in low light situations and I love how big it is
FYI second hand and refurbished are not the same thing.
Dude, how about webcam functionality? Will they do it? I'm thinking about scoring a 6D on CL but only if I can use it as a webcam. Do tell sir,,,,do tell. Thank you.
Thank you for the fantastic video, mate!
Hello, I hope you are well. I have a Canon 5d mark 4 camera. When recording a movie, the camera shutter speed is not less than 500 and it has more. Is there a solution or not? What is the problem?
What kind of camera your using to film this video? I need it
I used the 5DmarkIV to film this one ☝️👍
What is the name of the app that can be used to operate the camera on a smartphone?
Canon Connect from the App store Has a picture of a camera and wifi logo lines and the canon logo at the bottom.
Can we shoot feature film by 6d without magic laltern and without cinema lenses
I used the 6D to film the documentary: “memories of Dunoon” I used the faithful picture profile and the24-105mm kit lens - so I would say that it is possible
Could you please review Sony A7. Thank you.
Love your video question 5d mark iii vs 6d mark ii which one do I get I’m upgrading also I don’t need it for video
The 5d mark iii has its benefits for photo like the joystick and wider spread of focusing points, but the 6d has benefits being newer. Check out the Jared Polin comparison between the two.
Jun Simons yea I seen it i think I’ll go w the 6 d until I get enough money for the 5d mark iv thanks for your reply
Great comparison! Quite clever
Thanks for the support Neal Prinsloo! (:
6D can do raw video with ml too :/
If they are reflex why we can see the aiming on the screen ?
Both old technology, but still do the job, you've got to work the focus though, and the HD pictures is not as sharp as more modern canons like the markiv. I still use my from time to time !
Work the focus? 😅😂🤣
@@derekfaeberwick DPAF... look it up... Geeze
Great advice! Thanks.
Thanks Tiago (:
Used for a pretty decent price: people sell their 5d for 2.5k and it has less than 3000 triggers
Well said.
Can you do a video on the 5DS R?
I’ll try to get ahold of one - have added it to the list.
Hi, I have both of them.Using the 6D as the second backup camera. The problem i have is, my telephoto zoom lens is EF 70-300 F4-F5.6 L IS USM. Which should I upgrade first? 6D to 5d mark iv first, or upgrade 70-300 to the 70-200? I have 24-70 f2.8 L ii & 16-35 F4 IS USM
hi, so the 6d eos 20.2 can be used with a 24-70mm f/2.8 ii ????????
@@janettearanda254 sorry for the late reply. You mean the 6D goes with 24-70 ? Yes
can you use a canon eos 6d 20.2 with a canon 24-70mm f/2.8ii ? please answer
Of course you can.
hello friends i have canon 600d i am curious one thing 600d vs 6d any there difference so much between sorry my english
The 600d is a crop frame - which means it has a smaller sensor and doesn’t work as well in Low light or with high ISO values. The 6D is full frame - larger sensor better low light performance. 🙏👍🤩
@@KaiCreative i think i can feel different 600d with photo and 6d photo
Great video that i was finding.
Asanka Lakmal glad that you found this video useful (:
Intéressant
what is your thoughts on sony a68?
Thank you very much for the video, very usefull
Really glad you found this useful!
Hey make a video about Canon 80d vs 6d in 2020
This is very helpfull, thankyouu!
Thank you 😊 🙏
Beautiful review i love it
As a film shooter with NO autofocus at all. Hearing people bitch about slow auto focus makes me crack TF up. For fashion, portrait, headshot and event photography, the 5d mark ii/iii are still extremely viable cameras.
The latitude is JUST fine as well. If you're overblowing highlights THAT much, you probably shouldn't be messing with professional level cameras to begin with. The mark ii and iii handle overblown highlights very well.
Even 6,000 usd digital cameras today still barely touch the latitude of 35mm film, let alone medium format film.
Moral of this story? LEARN TO PROPERLY EXPOSE YOUR IMAGES QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
I stopped listening to gear heads and people with GAS. They're dumber than a bag of bricks and argue to hell to justify why they spend so much money on gear, whilst being mediocre photographers.
Really great video
Glad you found it useful! (:
How’s live view focus on them? I’m mainly a landscape photographer
Great review exactly what I needed
Robert Flores Excellent! Glad you found this content useful!
For photography these cams are great options, but for video the internal h.264 is very soft and mushy and totally not up to par with the Sony A7S, that also shoots 1080@60fps and 720@120fps, all for the same price as the 5d3 or 6d. And yes you can record RAW with the 5d3 but that will require fast expensive memory cards and gives you huges files. while the A7s shoots the same sharpness straight out of the box ;) And if you want fullframe for cheap you can also consider getting an Canon M50+speedbooster or Sony A6300+speedbooster, in the same price range and then you have usable auto-focus in your video's. 5d raw vs internal comparison to see the shitty stock 5d3 footage: czcams.com/video/B5P13iyAJvg/video.html
No. A Full frame is really diffrent from a speedboosted cropped sensor.
@@cammac66 what do you mean? cropfactor after adding speedbooster vs fullframe or something else ?
John -
If that were true then why even buy cameras with FF sensors? BTW the m50’s videos are as soft as 💩.
This Video looks normal, Kai ;)
Ok (: I'll use these picture settings going forward ;0)
You is so beautiful 😍
