We should have mentioned Canon's iTR, which is similar, but doesn't work with a single AF point. We always use a single AF point when shooting sports. If your style is different, you might be satisfied with it.
Also, on June 23, 2016, Nikon released a D5 firmware update that allows 30 minute recording in 4K mode: downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com...

The link to Canon is wrong... It's going to "Blackmagic Design URSA Mini 4K" product page
Plzz give this camera like technical guruji
The silent mode on the 1Dx sounds like a diesel 😂
I've been waiting all my life for this video and I was not let down. You guys just seem to never fail at delivering the best of the best.
Tony, Chelsea, very nice work. Thank you as always. It's fun to watch these comparisons.
you guys have proven that relevant and entertaining content can be together in videos that don't feel long at all even though they are 18 minutes long. Big thank you! I owe you a lot guys.
man, the fact that you even make time to personally respond to comments really sets you apart from the pack, stellar work by the way
Thank you guys for the time to create these vids!
Great in-depth videos, very informative. Keep them coming!
i have seen loads of video comparison between canon and nikon for years but the way you guys have covered all the details in this video is the best i have ever seen and total total unbias review , kudos to tony and chelsea for this .
Thanks!
Congrats guys the quality of your content is getting better and better, more dynamic than ever, sharper than ever, good timing for each, really really good!
Very detailed review, and good case propositions of use, that really makes sense.
thanks for your time and thumbs up for you.
What a great video thanks Tony & Chelsea. I'd like to move up from my 7d mk2 and this has really helped me. I'm a little nervous to go full frame thereby losing mm but your favourable review of the 5dsr is a great help. Thanks guys!
Very good video, I really like the effort you guys put into them. But I missed one thing and that is the fact that the 1DX II has 21 F8 focus points making it an excellent wild life cam by putting a 2X extender on the 500MM F4 of 600mm F4. And still be able to track.
great work guys love the review and your channel
or you know those pro wildlife photographers use the top of the line bodies because they are capable of withstanding a direct nuclear strike and have enough battery power to shoot a week without charging and still have enough juice to jump start a truck
Yes I think it is one of canons first non top of the line bodies that has seen so much care in getting a sturdy body.
Probably the reason why Nikon introduced the d500 and didn't just update the d7xxxx again
But still if I were to be sent in the wilderness and had to pick a camera, I wouldn't even think about picking anything but a 1Dx or Dx, the lines have the reputation and $5000 is getting you a heck of a lot more quality control than some thing you can get for less than $1500
My 7D2 got soaked in Wales and England last August. Didn't even flinch. ;)
phoenix7289 I live in England and there's a flood right now; I can completely relate to you.
Very good review! You guys are the best! It would be interesting to see a side by side review of the D500 and the D4s also!
Love the way these guys do videos. Really good fun to watch and Chelsea plays piano beautifully.
Can you guys make a video about the 1V? I think it would make a rather interesting video, from the perspective of shooting wildlife with film back in the old days.
Another well produced video with great content
Justin, the work you are doing on these new videos is absolutely incredible! The quality just keep getting better and better!
Thanks Maya! What specifically do you like about them? We'll be sure to keep improving :)
Great comparison video with a lot of useful information. Nice job and thank you!
Very Informative Review! Thank you Tony!
I just came across this video, would love to see an update on how the a99ii performed against them, I expect poorer AF results but the rest should be close. all the best.
I have watched only 3 minutes and the review is already epic and very informative. Also i like the touch of humor makes it more fun to watch!
Dear Sir.Confused about the HDMI out put of various cameras whether they give clear 4k out put through HDMI...which camera give complete 4 k HDMI out put....please guide whether Nikon D 500 and Sony A 7 R II give 4k HDMI out put if connect with Atomos Shogun and what about Sony A 6300 and A 6500 whether this cameras give 4k HDMI out put to record external with Shogun
Great Review as always, but one slight point I'd like to make that is often overlooked in deciding which camera you need that suits you and that is hand size & grip. If a camera fits well into your hand & you can hold it and reach buttons comfortably then its going to be simpler to get shots that you want. For me, and it is only a personal thing, I have found the 5D 3 with battery grip attached the best simply because I can hold it at any angle. A friend who is a Nikon user hates the way the Canon is laid out. I know with time you can use to anything but handling a new buy prior to purchase is always a sensible idea before parting with your hard earned cash.
Great comparisons :D
But please let me know what lens did you use to record the opening screen? I love that blurred everything :D
As always, awesome review. Informed information in a concise format and interesting presentation.
It wouldn't be the cam for me even if I had the money, but I really appreciate the time an effort you guys put into planning, filming, editing, summarizing, comparing etc
Keep up the amazing work!!! Your videos are always fun to watch!
very nice review, thanks for that! i still do all of my wildlife with my "allround-full-frame" canon 6d (which has at least a good silent mode) but thinking about getting a 7dmII as second body...
I just love Tony's analysis for "real" usability and shortcomings of design. Great job for this information!
If you were to use the additional 1.3 crop mode on the D500 how many pixels would you have? Or, would it be better to use a 1.4 teleconverter? Thank you for another very informative video.
- Great review! I am looking to upgrade my 5D Mark lll to a 1DX Mark ll but I'm not so sure now? I shoot a bit of everything but mostly hockey and sports. What Canon body (because I own Canon glass) would you recommend for shooting hockey? Thanks!
hi. thankyou guys 4 all your time and effort put into these amazing free videos!!!!!
Hi guys!! Thanks so much for this video! I've been considering replacing my aging D2X with something newer and was almost ready to pop for the D5 when I saw your video. Since I'm mostly a bird photographer it makes much more sense to me to stay with the APS-C sensor size. I am looking forward to being able to shoot at higher ISO since the D2X gets pretty noisy above 640 or so. How about yu guys having a meet up here in good ol' CT?
Tony are you using 3D tracking on the Nikons for your BIF pics? I've found 3D tracking to only be accurate for large subjects that fill a large part of the viewfinder. I've had better luck using AF-C and Dynamic 25, 72 or 153 points, with my D500 for fast moving, smaller objects. Many more keepers. Also, are you using release+focus, or focus+release?
I'm really looking forward to your Pentax K-1 review. I'm debating between it and the Sony A7II for my first full frame camera.
Nice job Tony! :-) Thanks for the review!
Very nice comparative review! If money is not an issue and I can purchase either camera body to cover all kinds of photography interests (portraits, nature, macro, gardens, architecture, and video), which Canon camera body do you and your subscribers suggest: a 5D Mark IV or a 1DX Mark II? Many Thanks!
You did a great job on this review! Thanks!
Thank you!
Great review Tony. Thanks 👌🏻🌷
Very useful video. I use 5D Mark 3 now for birds. Considering upgrading. Should I get a 5D Mark 4 or 5D SR. From your video, it looks like 1DX Mark ii is not the first choice.
I have the D810 and I'm shooting sports. Should i even be considering getting the D5 for sports like MLS Soccer and Football? my main concern is the auto foucus
well done Tony and Chelsea great video as always
hey Tony which lens should i buy in canon as I am a wildlife photographer with a $2500 budget so what do you recomend
Great video comparison. Being a wildlife shooter, I particularly liked that portion of the video. If the D810 were included, where would that fall in your recommended wildlife camera list?
This video is only a year old. I am rewatching it after seeing your Sony a9 review. Wow the 1dxii and the D5 seem like 10 year old technology now. It's crazy.
If burst frame rate is not a concern, is 5DSR a better camera for BIF than 1DX MK II?
I really enjoyed this review Tony. I much rather hear about your personal opinion than whatever you take from DXO mark which is a proprietary technology that has never been peer reviewed and I would not put too much stock in.
Its early christmas!! this is the video I was waiting for! gonna watch it now... play
Thanks guys, nice and useful info ...
Fantastic comparison, and thanks for pointing out the need for using OLED displays and ditching those archaic '80's LCDs.
Having switched (mostly) to Nikon with the D810/D500 I was thinking of parting with my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II Canon glass but your recommendation for a 5DS R sounds like a great option, thanks!
As always best content online
Very informative! Thank you.
Excellent, I was about to get the Canon 5D S R, to go with my 1D mk 4, but I was thinking maybe get rid go the 1D mk 4, and get the new 1D X mk 2. But after seeing this video, think I'll keep my 1D mk 4, for action (10 frames is mostly ok), and get the 5D S R, with its 50 mega for other stuff (even though it's only 5 frames)!, great great video as always, you two really make the best photo videos, thanks Greg (from the UK)
Amazing video as usual!
How do they compare to the a6300? Are you going to make a separate video?
Hey bro...So according to you which camera do you prefer it's the best and which one will you choose it
Incredible! channel. your knowledge of cameras and tests are fantastic. Thanks for sharing
Well made video - I share your critical notes, you are absolutely right. Now I am really interested in your opinion about the Pantax K-3 II and Pentax K-1 - I think these cameras deserve more attention, because of their great price-performance ratio.
That was a great review! The upfront video wth the kickball was fun! Great analysis of nature photography. Any chance you'll do a revue of the EOS-1 and other film cameras? To me film still beats digital in everything except convenience -- which is a big deal. It seems to me that film cameras require the photographer to better understand what is going on to get a good shot. What do you all think?
hello, i hope you can help, i am looking for an inexpensive camera to take pictures of my soccer games, any recommendations ?
Do you think we are going to get a 50mpixel 1dx next year then?
interesting perspective. on IBIS I am not sure C & N ignore it, but the patents are difficult to work around...
Great review guys! Keep it up!
You create such great videos. So comprehensive and interesting to watch. Good job!
Thanks!
i was watching your video but i not understand you properly you says for flying birds please say it again. 5dsr or d500. which is good for still bird and which is better for flying birds?
What's your opinion on the Nikon D750, isn't that quite good for wildlife too?
eos-1d x mark iii is it posible in aeb sutter mode with ttl flash mode high speed drive ?
Great review! I have a question that's on about the cameras but lenses. For wildlife is it better to get the Canon 100-400 or the sigma 150-600? I know the sigma has more range but which has better IQ?
We found the Canon performed better at 600mm: ruclips.net/video/lgurGidoSJs/видео.html
nice to see you mention Pixel Density when briefly talking about the D500
+ Tony, what about Nikon D810? And maybe any mirror-less ones from Sony?
Good info. Thanks for the review.
You're welcome!
What about using nikkor 200 500 in d500
Any problems with fullframe lens in a dx body?
Interesting to see they kept the AA filter. How strong or weak is the filter compared to D750/5D3?
Wait the D5 doesn't have AA filter...
Amazing review, guys! One of the best from your channel ;) Subscribed immediately
Great video Tony and Chelsea, it's amazing that DSLRs hasn't changed in 15 years. I can pull out my Canon 10D from 2003 and it look and feel just about the same. Canon and Nikon need to get some younger engineers working on their equipment, because DSLR are like 10 years behind on technology. I'm always apprehensive watching these Canon vs Nikon videos, but you guys did a great job. Great video as always guys.
what optics did you have on when you tested low light focusing?
Great review again! I'm glad that I've got a D500 instead of D5, and will get a D810 as a compliment.
Yep, very good and honest comparison. I liked it very much. Helped me to decide if I should replace my 1DX or not.
I’m glad I watched this. Using a 5dsr and a 7d2 now for wildlife and was thinking of replacing the 7d2 with a 1dx2 but I’ll just wait for whatever the successor to the 5dsr is to replace the 7d2.
But the 5ds r is to slow for bird flight
Or runway fashion right
you get a like for this one Tony! very informative, funny and interesting haha
Great review, the first thing that I always get from you (and Chelsea) is honesty, I never got the impression that you are getting paid by manufacturer “XYZ”, unlike some other reviewers on you tube. Now having said that, since i’m not a professional and just for family and some street photography I got the Sony A7-II with the 55mm f/1.8 and I couldn’t be happier, printed as large as 20 X 30 and they look great on the wall. Keep up the great work.
Rick.
i have nikon d3 s sometimes problems to focus
i intend to buy a used eos idx
These reviews are getting better each time! Very well produced! Fun to watch even though i won't be buying neither of them for a few years.
Thanks!
Not really, they talked about the Nikon 3d focus mode or whatever it's called, Canon has the exact same thing... Also if you need "light up buttons" you probably shouldn't have a $7,000ish DSLR, i usually love their videos but this felt rushed, i couldn't make it past 12 minutes, maybe the video improved after that... and the intro was cheesy haha. Love you guys tho
OK, I'll bite. What's Canon's version of 3D focus?
+Tony & Chelsea Northrup He's most likely talking about iTR tracking
+Tony & Chelsea Northrup press the AF button, go to the third box over, then switch to continues autofocus! I think that's how you access it. I'm leaving work so my camera is in the back of the car, if that's not it, Google it! I just did a quick Google search and their are lots of forms talking about it!
Very clear and helpful information. Thanks for saying how loud the DX1 is. I have many photos of birds looking right in my direction thanks to the loudness of Canon. Not really happy about that. Would rather remain stealth. Interesting about the pixel quality and rather disheartening, as I often have to crop. Looks like I'll be renting the 5Dsr in the future.
Hey Tony, can you guys do a review on Sony rx10 M3 and compare it to other please.
What a great video! Well, as always :)
Thanks!
Interesting that he mentions that the 1DX doesn't have a C-LOG color profile. Peter McKinnon always shoots in C-LOG and he's usually carrying a 1DX. I'm guessing installing Magic Lantern may add a C-LOG profile?
Tony/Chelsea - Great Video!! Thanks :) Quick question: You advocate the 5DSR. How would it perform for AF of birds in flight? I am planning on buying a used 1DX, but now you've got me thinking 5DSR. I've got enough for one or the other and want to spend smart.
The 5DS-R focusing system is very good, but not as good as the 7D Mk II, D500, or 1DX Mk II. However, it's still very much good enough for flying birds. The slower frame-rate is a bigger influence, however.
I prefer the D500 for flying birds.
They are all good I'm sure, but if you plan on shooting assignments on a daily basis in PJ for example, the one you're going to want is any 1dx or a D3 and up body. Or even a D300, 1Ds or whatever it's called..
Thank you Tony. Nicely presented ... Looking forward for custom functions tutorials for 1DX Mark II (Say, customizing 1DX Mark II)
It's already up! Check sdp.io/tutorial
Thanks guys, great review! Not that I am about to buy any of these two cameras, but it is good to see an objective and insightful comparison of these two flagship products as well as a few very sensible recommendations to buy more appropriate gear for what one may be shooting. I loved the commentary on why pro wildlife photographers shoot the big guys. I guess habits die off very slowly.
You've got a good point with the screens, considering how far technologically small screens in mobile phones have come, camera screens seem to be severely lacking, especially those 2 color green calculator displays atop pro bodies.
I'm confused. Which camera at 3:38 was described as "so loud"?
I'm so conflicted now. I was planning on getting the Canon 1DX II but what I want most is sharpness which means now the Canon 5DS-R would be a better buy. I shoot mainly flying birds and would want more than 5 fps though so then I go back to wanting the Canon 1DX II. I can't decide!
Just base your buying decision on the type of shooting (subject matter) that *_you_* do. I've upgraded from the 2009 *_Canon 1D Mark IV_* to the 2016 *_1Dx Mark II,_* both of which are now superseded by newer gear. It's only a gain of 2 megapixels (18.1mp versus 20.2mp) but I get a faster frame rate, better noise reduction at high ISOs and I also get *_autofocus video_* in the 1Dx Mk II, which I _don't_ have in the older 1D Mk IV. (I'm using the same lenses, but on the 1Dx Mk II they will do AF video, which is handy.) Those features help me, but I mainly shoot news and events. It's happening fast and I don't have all day to get the shot. I don't shoot for fun, only for business and income.
So neither one and go for the D500 instead?
Thanks Tony! it is only after this video that I know what the D500 is for! It's a great option to consider!
I'm not quite sure a full frame is the best choice for wildlife shooting. Almost all shots end up cropped very small so all that extra sensor area is doing is adding size and weight, especially for long lenses. One could perhaps use APS-C lenses and shoot in crop mode, but again why not go with APS-C to start with?
What are the little red earbud-like things attached to the 1DX's strap loops?
It's quick disconnects for the Peak Design Camera Straps.
