As an engineer and a photographer I was a little annoyed with the generalization that two processors was more powerful than one. There are far too many variations between processors, architectures, number of cores, threaded software and clock speed to make a broad sweeping statement.
It's just a minor comment, I really love your RUclips channel. Keep up the good work!
yeah a processor alone shouldn't be compared in cameras, things like frames per second and time to do certain actions should be the way to benchmark
If you can't make generalized statements, you didn't understand it well enough!
It's a cop out to say the best camera depends on your shooting situation. People want to know which is the best overall camera. We know one is more expensive than all the rest. We know one is lighter than the rest. We want to know which one you would pick, with an unlimited supply of lenses, if you were going somewhere remote and could only take one camera system to do everything.
That's what we came here for. Don't try to keep everyone happy. Pick a camera.
693 focus points and you still using 1 in the middle lol
haha damn!
You've done it now, Nikon fan boys incoming!
yep
@@move_i_got_this5659 fuck? moron? even though i use a7 3, for my portrait works i just use 1 center point cuz it gets me the best focusing...
Great video as always Jared, we would love to see a D850/A7RIII/5DMKIIII comparison as well.
I'm going to buy my first camera soon and wondering which brand should I invest in.
If you're buying your first camera, any of those three are great cameras. Think more about what YOU will be shooting, the glass you wish to invest in (more important than the body), and then work backwards to the camera body.
It's 5DIV, not 5DIIII. :)
Jared, always the best reviews from you. Thanks for your help.
Very nice comparison, informative and not biased even tho you shoot Nikon. Very nice!
Hey Fro can you touch on bracketing photos for exposure issues and demonstrate in photo shop...I'm a painter and have problems with sky vs. foreground...thanks
Fro...Guru..Sensei.....this next year ime plonking down the dosh for either a canon or Nikon...which one?
Great video!!!, Can you please do a real world review of the sigma 500mm f4 sports lens?
You should start doing a real world comparison with all three of these at the same time. Keep up the great work Jared and crew
Hey... Nice review... Also nice meeting at the show in NYC... 👍
Great video, very informative. Thank you.
I would be very happy with a 1DX markII as I own a lot of Canon glass!!!
I happen to have 2 of them for sale...
The 1dxs are one of the only canons i would want being a die hard nikon shooter
I wonder which one of these I should rent for this rodeo I'm going to in a few months 🤔🤔🤔
Great reviews as always
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks Jared.
thanks for watching.
Even if i save for wait for a few years.
I might not be able to get one of these bodies and their glass.
Even with depreciation 😭
Love this video. And just realized why doesn't all the other cameras don't have lighted buttons. That is a very basic common sense feature.
Hey Jared,
Can you please make a 1DX Mark II vs 5D mark IV comparison video???
Hello sir i have question about which camera should buy a6400 or a7iii ?? I'm using now canon750d and want to upgrade my usual usage is to get best clarity pictures and some videography work..pls help me
Ohhh... The Sony A9 is the camera of choice based on your review and my needs.
If you could pick one, which would it be and why?
Jared Polin 1dx, dslr, more durable
Sony's spec, sensor, af, weight and more from Sony. Sony fanboy 🤘
If you're at that point in your camera gear to afford either one of these just stick to what brand you love.
Sony A9. Im shooting videos and photos. And this 1 was the lightest for long term, this matters. And ofc, the cheapest (while still expensive).
Sony a9 no question
A checklist at the end would have been fabulous
What do you mean by critical focus?
when you focus right at the spot you need like exactly on an eye. This is much more important when you have a large aperture and a long lens since the DOF is so shallow. When some cameras "focuses" it sometimes just comes close, but not right on the spot - and that can ruin a portrait.
He never mentioned the amazing eye af on the Sony
I thought all focus is critical.. LOL -- Made up category IMO.
meaning TACK SHARP where I want it to be and where I focused. Sometimes the Sony's just seem out but it's not actually out.
No wind tunnel test???
Jared!! You forgot to do the sniff test☹
Deadpool (A9) *VS* The Hulk (1DXii) *VS* Colossus (D5)
no one can defeat deadpool
so... deadpool wins?
You shouldn't made the 1DX the Juggernaut because it's more related to the other 2
A9 is sentri
A9 is one above all
Great info, thanks.
Perhaps the best side-by-side I've seen. I'm a 5D IV and 1DX II shooter, primarily because I have Canon glass. I agreed with every point you made. You must be very smart.
Jared u can't compre 4k on the 1dx ii, and the a9 because of the coded 1dx ii us motion jpg it's 1gb for 10 sec video
Great share of your opinion, always enjoy the information you share. 51years I have taken photos, in the 80's worked for a fashion photographer in NYC. Let me first say Rollei, K1000, AE1, FM, F2as, F3 ,RB67,Fuji 6x9-4x5/8x10 cameras and then returned n60,D50,D90 a5000. Converting to Sony wasn't easy, coming from such a Nikon love. But new paths and not carrying a BRICK around my neck as I had many years, Sony mirrorless caught my attention. I do watch a lot of information sources, in this video more than normal, listen to you voice when you have to admit Nikon isn't a leader, it goes down as if their is a bitter taste you have to admit Nikon or Canon isn't the best. Remember the photography business of selling cameras was on a spiral DOWN, with a majority of pictures being taken by cell phones! Sony took the BULL by the horn and offered a smaller lighter option, my opinion powered the non-pro to take more pictures. Yes, I wish Canon, Nikon took mirrorless more serious! Panasonic, Olympus, Pentax and Fuji efforts are farther ahead! I would like to see some videos talking about them! Maybe a history of where they started in digital cameras and where they are now. Looking at their tech and features sound interesting. I will not buy a $5000 camera Brick on my neck and that is out of my budget. Lens is my attention. Look forward to your remarks ........ Jeff😀😀
That Sony A7R III is great and hard to pass up.
Not sure which Camara I want to purchase...A99 ll, or A7Rlll
Any advice ?
Cal Buell Sony A9 it’s a fucking beast
18:05 "The camera that could take over the world"That's a good quote for Sony to put in their adverts.
Perfect info with my new 1DX Mark II! Thanks!
Hi, I think your thumbnail omitted x from 1 dx II word..
All these focus points, and I still choose center AF lol
It's funny you said that dual sensor of Canon and not the Stacked CMOS sensor of A9 which has more processing capacity.
All these specs and info are nice but which one shoots better picture?
Hi Jared, always good, watching your reviews from here - Germany :).
what do you advise (for wildlife) - buy the used D4 (very good condition) or a new D500 for the same price. 2 things are important: image quality and low light ISO.
thx a lot
Zurab Managadze
D500 simply because video aspect
Thx Mary - video is not important for me - its about image quality and ISO. a couple years ago D4 was a flagship camera and thats why - but i think D500 would be a better choice - i tested it and its soo comfortable
Im sorry, but this is another of those videos that dont say much. We all can read specs. Your real world reviews are reaaaally good, but those that you just compare the specs are pointless. Comparing ISO on the maximum range? why does it matter? Focusing points? PROCESSORS? How can you compare processors? Oh, because its dual processors so its fast? Keep up the good work and I would avoid those videos. Cheers!
Thanks for your comment. But in the game of the internet and youtube these videos are far from pointless. It may seem pointless to you but when this type of video brings people into my fold it's a win. It's a win becuse those people will then go watch the Real World Reviews. Make sense?
It's not only reading specs, Jared add some comments between specs, and its also a good summery. I think it would had be great if you talked about eye autofocus, I know it's on the real world reviews :) great job Jared Polin!
Jared Polin makes a ton of sense. There is no such thing as non biased unless you are a computer. Comparing specs is the closest thing you can get to non biased comparisons, Which avoids turning off new people before they can get to know/respect you, your philosophy, and your biases. (Real world reviews) thank you for the great content.
I find these videos very useful
Stephan Eilert these videos are very useful I’m sorry you don’t have a in depth understanding of how your camera works I’m sure you have wonderful composition.
Nice video. I'm a bit confused with the auto-focus tie though. The I'm sure are all comparably good in the general case, but Sony's Eye-AF feature is super convenient and works really well, but it got no mention? I'm guessing the non-Sony's don't have any kind of object tracking auto-focus either, which is probably why sports photographers are going towards Sony. Even as a novice, I can lock on to an object, and the camera does a damn good job at holding focus while it moves towards or away and take multiple photos.
It also seemed like a really big stretch to not give the A9 a check on price when even with the (not actually mandatory) grip, it comes out to $1200~$1700 cheaper than the other two? That's an extra lens or two? I don't get how that's not a clear winner, especially considering on merits alone the camera is at least on par with the other two.
Even size was kind of a strange non-win category for the A9. I get that a smaller camera may actually not be as comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. But 3~3.3lbs can also an issue. "The best camera is the one you have on you." I can see how a professional would care a bit less (I guess that is the target audience here for $4k+ cameras) about this if they are going out for a known job, but I imagine there are still size/weight issues that matter in situations. Do you have room for a backup camera body? Are you hiking somewhere and don't want to carry as much weight?
It's really very Simple; it's because ....er"Nikon". Fro's heavily biased towards the mechanical dinosaur brands Nikon in particular.
@@46ace this comment aged well
I think you are wrong the video should have gone to canon for the dci 4k slowmo and good bitrate. Is rather have that than uhd 30p
daan stam and what about the full frame ha ?
daan stam agreed
I DX Mark II was great, when it was relevant. The live sensor in the A9 is the reason.
Great review
If I were choosing one for my motorsport photography, I’d rule out the Sony and be happy with either one of the DSLRs... lens choice, monster battery life, top deck display, ruggedness. All those extra buttons you get on DSLRs really come in handy when you need to switch settings fast too. A9 is very good, but I don’t think the advantage of mirrorless really shows itself with sports photography.
X2 is brilliant, I've found for motorsport!
Doesn't sony mirrorless actually have contrast detection focus system instead of phase detection ??
It has both.
Sony has in body image stabilization
And it's $2 GRAND LESS THAN THE D5.( but no check marks because er... "Nikon") Fros' Nnikon Bias stands out like a fat chicks thong at Walmart.
What is critical focus
Nice balanced report, thanks for taking the time to put it together
your welcome
I feel bad for not bying a mirrorless camera,that flopy mirror is becoming an issue,especialy on sound sensitive occasions
1dx mk ii with a 24-70 and the new 85mm IS is my dream kit.
The Sony might be great on the inside, but I like my cameras big and heavy.
@UC3qwijxU2JGN_CkOBve2egg
Me too. Im a pro and I hate the small form of the Sony A7R3 I have. I am waiting for the next 1DX3 and then Ill get that.
Attach a lead weight to your rig. Problem solved.
@@minibuns5397 you know, I didn’t think of that!
Weird that the A9 can only do 5FPS with mechanical shutter when the A7III can do 10 FPS mechanical at half the price, i could see an APSC camera hacing a faster shutter speed but they have the same sensor, i would have assumed they would also have the same shutter, or better on the A9
Love this video
You are in my top 3 favorite camera reviewers! Excellent review!
5dsr vs D850 vs a7rIII
Black Lynx d850 wins that game
It's close between the d850 and the AR7III. Both are ahead of the 5DS. For landscapes, I'd take the d850 over the 5DS because it has better DR. I actually made a video comparing the two.
I also own the 5dsr and while I will agree with you (Clint Ashley) that it is great for landscapes, product and portrait I will also add that it is good for wildlife, sports and music events/gigs. I have used it for all of that and have been more than pleased with the results. I don't spray and pray but I do take bursts of action to ensure I have a choice of expressions, body position etc when I shoot gigs and have not only never caught up to the buffer, I have had no low iso issues. Too many variables involved for anyone to definitively say that it is very user specific or rather weirdly, that it is meant for those who use flash. It is a great camera for all types and there isn't ever just one answer, just one good choice. As Jared says, there are pros and cons to all cameras, it just matters what you want to do with it. Just another opinion for you Aleksi :)
D850 is the most versatile for everything except AF in video.
D850
Where would the d850 fit into this
The Sony is more solid than one would think. My A7 II unfortunately fell from about 4 feet onto a gravel driveway. Only thing broken was my UV filter on my lens (in addtion to me almost having a heart attack when it fell). It was fine and still is.
Jared love your channel but its so funny to see that u almost die when u give those check marks to Sony....priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up yo
I love the Sony focusing system, there’s been so many times I wanted a more creative composition and on my D750 the focus points are all contained in the center so it gets real annoying
Great comparison. Really balanced and objective. The future does indeed belong to Sony, if only because their R&D budget is so obviously much larger and they have some real talent working for them, but I’m still on the fence about getting a Nikon though. They’re still competitive as far as I’m concerned. Tricky choice.
how come the top part of the Canon 1DX mark ii here is like the 1DX mark one? did anybody notice it?
Because it is a 1DX mark one, he mentioned it at the beginning of the video.
I always get these ads that say a new smartphone camera can compare to a red weapon. I'd like to see a smartphone compare to these cameras
I love Nikon, and I shot nikon. However he did not give the sony near enough credit. Sony is pushing a lot of money and tech to become the industry leader and canon and Nikon should be scared. Photographers making camera reviews shouldn't be so biased to their brand that they discount the trend.
Gear gear gear , when did you last actually take a photograph you were proud of ?
Jon Summers This is a gear video he shows us his work on a regular basis you bitch.
Doesn't the Sony have a 1.2x crop when shooting 4K 30fps?
no
Problem with canon is that saturation... can't give any photos to cilent with out editing
You really are my Go to chap for info. Thank you my Darling x
Those ancient dinosaurs next to the A9 look literally funny :-)
They are proven workhorses
I bought a mirrorless to try it out, and I can't go back to my DSLR. It feels like a brick.
Ancient dinosaurs? Literally the only difference between them is a prism and mirror.
Lol. Speak for yourself.Electronic view finder, Eye autofocus combined with silent shooting is a whole new experience. And the fact you can adapt canon and Nikon lenses on the Sony with eye af.
Jayanth Shailendra I’m aware, I use an a7rii. They have some great focus modes, but they are nowhere near as accurate as dslr yet and the best focus modes won’t even work with adapted lenses, even some of the most popular 3rd party lenses don’t support them . Not enough keepers when I shoot motorsports. And I’ve found eye af sometimes catches the bridge of the nose instead of the eye, I still use single point af.
Sony is the winner here obviously...Just put a grip on the a9 for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's all very well bro, but if you're just not digging mirrorless then it's not for you. Mirrorless is great, but I can't help to think it looks like something from a toy store. At least with a DSLR people know you have big balls.
Liam Photography I would guess that has less to do with a cameras ability and more to do with brand sorority's AKA wanting people to see them as the pro that they may or may not be.
A second influence would be lens selection. Sony is starting to push out lots of lenses but the selection isn't as vast as Nikon and Canon's.
dual processors or dual ASICs mean nothing, it depends on the architecture, so that is a bit silly
is that a hand-written cardboard?
How about Printing quality. Which delivers more bang for your buck.
Hey Jared... if you are not afraid of smaller sensors: do a real world review of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk ii aswell. Its a Beast for its price point ;) slap a 40-150 2.8 on it and give it a go :D
That would be like comparing a Fiat Punto with Sports cars.
Sir compared canon EOS 6d mark ii and Canon eos 200d
Why..??? 6d mark2 is better.. so why comparison..?????????
From all the tests I've seen, the Sony A9's AF is a little faster but the Nikon D5 is more consistent, at least in sports/wildlife. Also the slow speed of the A9's buffer clearing speed would make me go to Canon or Nikon.
1dx mkii is great. but I'm still waiting on canon to make a mirror-less 4k camera
you'll probably wait for a while. Looking at what Canon does wit DSLRs I find it hard to believe their first full-frame mirrorless is going to have top quality/feature 4K.
nikon mirrorless will be out first. but either canon or nikon has a lot of catching up to do
+mavfan1................ all canon need to do is make a 12mp sensor with 15 stops of dr (like the c300mkii, c700 and c200.......but full frame instead of super super 35) and than use the internals from the 1dx mkii (which shoots 4k 60p)..............the camera can shoot mjpeg in c-log 3 than I'm happy, but you're right this doesn't seem likely...........so I'll just keep using my sony a7sii
legendp2011 lol your prayers have been answered my dude: Canon M50
They made a new horror. Eos R. Not a bad camera. Infact the best of 2013.
Does it realy matter
did he talk about weather sealing or did I miss it?
When we'll see a real world review for the Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD?
Entertaining and all that, but do you seriously believe a professional in the market for a D5 or 1DX needs to know this basic camera and photography information? It's not like switching back and forth between washing powder.
Nope, but people who want to wish for the cameras still watch.
You forgot the incredible Eye-AF!
Should I sell my 1d mark IV and get the 1dx or the 1dx mark II?
a9
Jayanth Shailendra not a fan of the mirrorless or Sony colors, I’m sticking with canon, and I want to upgrade to the 1dx, I just don’t know if it’s worth the 1dx mark II upgrade.
I follow a lot of news in general and the latest firmware fixes the Sony color issue. Plus the fact you can adapt Conon glass on the Sony (with all features including eye autofocus) should be a no brainer. Ive been shooting Nikon for a long time and Sony's electronic view finder made all the difference for me to make the shift
I think you need to do more research on the topic of burst-mode among these three camera: the 1DX Mark II is unbeatable in this category. Check out Michael the Maven review at, ruclips.net/video/0xo9qKPVhEk/видео.html
Lol my wife who does not watch these vids but see's me watching them just said "Does he ever change his shirt?"
For build quality. I dropped my Nikon D5 and it was a total loss. I replaced with an A9 and it’s been great! It’s gone through one wedding season and has been highly abused. Let’s see how it does for season two.
Why don’t reviewers test WB, exposure systems and accuracy and mention the very useful crop modes that the Nikon has, the ergonomics?
RAW
Whaaaat? The lighter camera is the best one?
I will pick Sony a9 or a7r m3 because both offers more options in videos & photos Capabilities .
Can we applaude this guy on having the intro that makes you wan to stay
Just buy them all
the Sony is the best camera but it's underrated
beautiful
It's too bad there isn't a common measure (like GHz) to know which one has the best processor. If I was a manufacturer, I'd simply call it 'BestCPUEver' and I'm sure I'd win the war of specs based on the name alone... About FPS, I think it's best to compare the same file format. If the a9 only does 12 fps in uncompressed RAW, then that's the best it can do. Obviously, both Nikon and Canon won't get any faster even if the file format changes, but still, it's nice to use the same basis for comparison. Both the D5 and 1D Mk II are getting old, so I'm looking forward to Nikon and Canon's response. Oh, lastly, I'm strong enough, so I'll keep my Canon gear. Imagine a bunch of a9 shooting paparazzo outside a nightclub: the superstar comes out, and what do you hear? Silence! ;-)
lol fro I bet you wish you could have this review back. The a9 really wins in every single category. It absolutely kicks the s*** out of the Nikon and Canon in high ISO. It focuses faster and the auto focus is better then both of the DSLR's. Eye AF absolutely destroys dual pixel AF.
Why didn't you want to mention that all the new Canon lenses are compatible with the Sony CAMERA?
Not having the battery grip available for the Sony hurt this review
Whoa Dude. Was hoping you would pick Nikon because of their sexy glass.
Wind tunnel? Sniff?
The XT3 should be on here. 20-30 frames per second...
@S Tra Yes. And Samsung
