I'm surprised you had little to no knowledge regarding Sigma's warranty/repair procedures. It's the same as Canon's, you send it in to your local Sigma facility. You also didn't mention that Canon lenses comes with a 1 year warranty whereas Sigma ART lenses comes with 7 year warranty. With that much of a length of warranty, you technically don't need to pay for a "membership" to get discounted repair rates. You also forgot to mention that Sigma ART lenses have the ability to be calibrated in your own home with the Sigma USB Dock, while Canon you'd have to send it in and most likely pay for this service. These would most likely be deciding factors for most people making their purchase and I'm surprised you left these out.
Thank you both for the information I know it’s a year old but have to purchase a 24-70 and debated between Sigma versus Canon and now knowing it has a 7 year warranty definitely getting the Sigma.
Good review, I also own both lenses and unfortunately the Sigma's OS is practically non existent. It really borderlines on false advertising. Especially since that is the most compelling reason to buy this lens other than price. Another very important factor not mentioned is the Canon lens focuses better in low light. A condition most wedding photographers find themselves in. Also, on higher megapixel cameras the Canon Lenses noticeably sharpener.
Great points! Thanks for leaving that info. As I was just testing the lens for video primarily I didn't dive too deep into low-light focusing, but that's definitely something to be aware of. I agree with the OS, it's very subtle.
Are there any updates that help the image stabalisation performance? There shuld be 2 modes for stabilisation.. It would be the perfect lens if the IS would be good :/
From my own personal experience I have the sigma 24-70 by far my best lens I've owned and if you are able to buy it used and in good condition definitely go for it
Thank you for this review. Just one thing that I wish you did was having a handheld video test for the Canon lens. Sure, you wouldn't have anything to compare to, but it would have still been nice to see.
Great Comparison Tyler. I have the Sigma and love it for video. I've used both lenses and I think the Canon is a tad sharper wide open, but the OS makes all the difference for video IMO, and therefore makes a better choice for video shooters. If I was a photographer first, I would buy the Canon. Have had several Sigma Art Lenses, and they are built like a tank - super heavy duty.
Great review as I'm torn between these two lenses for video. One point I disagree on is the Image Stabilization. I turned the audio off on your test and showed my wife and her friend (Who don't do videography or photography), and immediately they said the shot WITHOUT IS was much shakier. I have to agree with them that the IS make a very noticeable difference. But once again, great review and thanks!
Thanks Eugene! Glad the video was helpful! The IS definitely does make a difference, I guess it's just not as effective as other IS systems I've seen in Canon lenses. You can't go wrong with either lens honestly!
Thanks for the great video Tyler. I do everyday photography, wedding and other event photography. I have EOS R5 and confused to get a lens. which one do you suggest ? Sigma 24-70 F2.8 Art lens with RF adaptor or Canon RF 24-105 F4L
I'm still so torn between these two lenses. Given that the OS on the Sigma is negligible, would you consider the canon still if the price differences were closer, like within $100 dollars closer in price?
I prefer Canon lenses most of the time, so yeah I'd probably lean towards Canon naturally. Also because of CPS and the fact that the Canon is cheaper. Honestly you can't go wrong either way.
Hi Tyler - do you still recommend the C100 as a video camera - I was looking at a GH5, I do event photography and video with 2 D750 cameras but want a bespoke video camera. I still haven't been asked for 4K. PS - I dropped a Sigma lens here in the UK had it fixed easy and fast no problems
Hey Mark, I definitely recommend the C100 if it fits your needs. I love it because of small file sizes, long battery life, built in NDs and tons of pro features. But if you're looking for 4K 60p, 10 bit, or just a smaller form factor the GH5 is a great option. It all comes down to what's important for you. But as a standalone video camera, the C100 is my go to!
Good explanation! I think some people will think that as the Preis of Canon is high than Sigma, its Quality will be also high than Sigma. When they are same than why the Preises are different. I think this is the Point why some people prefer Canon lens.
I'm a bit surprised that you marked down the Sigma lens down on maintenance. If you had done a bit of research to see what Sigma offers in comparison to the Canon Professional Services & found out what Sigma actually offers is complete garbage, I would say that is a fair enough reason to mark it down. However considering your only validation for marking down the Sigma is because you haven't done any research into it seems like a bit of a poor reason to mark it down. Personally I own a few Sigma Art lenses including this one which I absolutely love & I have sent them for maintenance, each time very impressed by the speed services & professional results. Prices are reasonable if the lens was out of warranty & the standard of work carried out was superb.
Thank you for this video it was very helpful to me 💕 I'm a new photography and I wanna go to next level with my lenses, I have canon250d And I have canon 18-55 and 50mm, And I want to buy a new lens, I'm thinking of buying Canon 17-55mm or sigma 24-70mm , If you were me, what would you buy ? I'll take pictures of food and products and take cook video And thank you again 💕
This is a great review on both lens, i was trying to make a decision what lens i should buy, but, for this review i would decided for sigma, because, it is the same quality like canon is. Both are great and i think i decied for sigma. Thanks, it was a really good review for both lens.

Nerds
sigma is way less sharper than Canon's no matter how long its warrenty is.. lol
@@challenger2724 warranty plays a huge factor in decision making. And as far as sharpness. It’s really not that big of a difference.
I'm already looking at Sigma but didn't know this is a done deal for me thanks.
What kind of camera do u shoot with
Good review, I also own both lenses and unfortunately the Sigma's OS is practically non existent. It really borderlines on false advertising.

So you would recommend the Canon over the Sigma?
Are there any updates that help the image stabalisation performance? There shuld be 2 modes for stabilisation.. It would be the perfect lens if the IS would be good :/
Hi, does Sima have sharpness problems? Thank you
resale value on Canon is nice too.. That's a factor too.
I've had my Sigma 50-150mm go bad, sent it in and it works perfectly
Why didnt you do a lens flare test?
In this test these lenses would probably look different,
From my own personal experience I have the sigma 24-70 by far my best lens I've owned and if you are able to buy it used and in good condition definitely go for it
This was a great review, thanks for keeping it short and sweet. Those tests you ran were very helpuful
thanks for your test.
sigma
looks more realistic (like nikon look)
and darker in the corners
canon
the pictures looks warmer
and the shadows brighter
You get used to the focus ring on sigma after awhile. It’s worth it, even the extra half pound of weight. Save so much money for the same thing
I have had my sigma 3 weeks and like

Thanks for watching! Great input here! Sigma Art lenses are definitely an insane value!
The title is a little misleading, it is the version II of Canon 24-70mm of this lens !

Great video, dude! Thanks for posting this - very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video Tyler. I do everyday photography, wedding and other event photography.
I have EOS R5 and confused to get a lens. which one do you suggest ?
Sigma 24-70 F2.8 Art lens with RF adaptor or Canon RF 24-105 F4L
Great review man! It was very helpful and you pointed out some good things. Appreciate it 👊🏻
As mainly a video shooter, the I.S. on the Sigma and cheaper price gives it the win..imho anyway.
Yeah man, it's such a close call it could go either way! You can't go wrong either way!
Great review, thanks.
Thanks for such an understandable video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Tyler! Great video. What did you film you speaking with? Thanks!
I'm still so torn between these two lenses. Given that the OS on the Sigma is negligible, would you consider the canon still if the price differences were closer, like within $100 dollars closer in price?
I prefer Canon lenses most of the time, so yeah I'd probably lean towards Canon naturally. Also because of CPS and the fact that the Canon is cheaper. Honestly you can't go wrong either way.
Which exact model of sigma did you test? Thank you
hey tyler - are you using the lenses on a canon body?
if so, does it even make a difference?
He said it was Canon C100 camera using Dual Pixel AF
which one is better
Do you think sigma lens is gonna be well for canon fullframe mirrorless? Or probably autofocus is not gonna be well?
The AF quality should be about the same on the mirrorless if you're using the Canon adapter.
Hi Tyler - do you still recommend the C100 as a video camera - I was looking at a GH5, I do event photography and video with 2 D750 cameras but want a bespoke video camera. I still haven't been asked for 4K. PS - I dropped a Sigma lens here in the UK had it fixed easy and fast no problems

Price*
I have sigma lens. You definitely have the same service as canon with sigma.
Like sigma better I have sigma mount on Sony I do have RF CANON 24-70 L len
Heyy hii..
I heard that sigma and tamron lenses gives little soft focus(little less sharpness) after 2 3 years is that true??
awesome ! thanks :)
I'm a bit surprised that you marked down the Sigma lens down on maintenance. If you had done a bit of research to see what Sigma offers in comparison to the Canon Professional Services & found out what Sigma actually offers is complete garbage, I would say that is a fair enough reason to mark it down.
