- All right, today we are comparing two
really cool cameras both no doubt
gonna be very hot cameras.
They're both in the same price range,
right around eleven thousand dollars.
Actually I think the Sony is literally $1 cheaper.
So, if you're trying to save that cash
Sony takes the win there.
They both have very similar features
but they're also very different,
the Canon has that four K super thirty five dual gain output
and of course we have the full frame
six K down sampled into a four K image
and we're losing the light real fast.
So, let's strike these up,
here we go, we have mystery camera A, mystery camera B.
You guys guess which one's which now
we ended up losing all the light setting up this shot.
So, where ISO four thousand.
Both of these cameras plenty
good enough to get professional looking images
like the type of images you would see on Storyblocks,
who happens to be our sponsor today?
All right,
(clapping hand)
guys, come on.
- Yay - Oh yeah, we lost everybody,
she is the best
You are my favorite vlog blocks.
(laughing)
- Storyblocks is the place to go
and get your stock footage
but not only that they have audio
and whenever I go hey follow me on Instagram.
She that little blur blur graphic that comes up,
I got them from Storyblocks.
It's a little after effects template
all I had to do was go and type in my Instagram handle
and look at that fancy production value baby.
(laughing)
Since we're losing all the light,
let's just cut to some beautiful images
that we found on Storyblocks.
These are all images
that you can use in your own videos.
Pretty much all your video needs
they got you covered right there.
I definitely recommend checking
out the unlimited plan on limited downloads
with just one account.
How big is this library?
Elephant size.
What's bigger than an elephant?
- A whale, Gene.
- A whale, a whale, yes.
What else?
- An airplane.
What are those balloon shaped things?
Oh, you blimp?
Yes, about some grand canyon action.
Go to storyblocks.com
for slash potato jet grand canyon done.
- Do they have an aerial photography?
- Guys guys.
- calm down a storyblock sponsorship,
isn't supposed to be this long.
Okay, how did you said what I need to say
and you guys are just dragging it along now.
- But Gene, I'm hungry,
I just want to see some like really ice cream.
- That actually sounds great.
- Some tacos.
All these stock clips found right there on Storyblocks
So, don't forget to hit that link in the description
and we need to do a giveaway.
What does the giveaway?
I haven't thought that far ahead.
We have a lot of drones,
so let's give away our Maverick air, yeah.
We'll all sign it with love
or unless you don't want us to sign it,
then we won't sign it.
Just let us know if you want to sign or not.
All you gotta do for a chance to win,
drop a comment down below
within the first five and a half hours
of this video going live
and somewhere in that comment,
just put a semi-colon in there. Yeah.
There you go.
All right, so now that we're back in the studio,
let's take a closer look
at some of this footage side by side.
So, are you ready for the results
camera A on the left is the C three hundred Mark three
camera B on the right FX nine.
Both of these cameras were shooting
at ISO four thousand T one point five,
it was really dark there but I'm gonna go ahead
and digitally boost both of their exposures
and the FX line definitely cleaner,
there's more information it's better.
So, the FX nine takes the win
for low light and that's no surprise.
Since the FX nine has a dual base
ISO eight hundred and four thousand.
I was able to just switch it to that high sensitivity mode,
And there you go.
Moving on to the next shot
here is where the Canon C three hundreds
dual gain output sensor is really going to shine.
We should in theory get more dynamic range,
So we should be able to look into the shadows,
get more information out of there,
and also the highlights as well.
Now, definitely keep in mind
that the dual gain output sensor
or DGO is completely different
from dual gain sensors
that are a lot more common.
For example, on the FX nine,
I can switch the base ISO between
eight hundred and four thousand,
but on a dual gain output sensor
like on the C three hundred,
there's two circuits connected to the sensor
and one records the highlights
make sure there's a lot of saturation in there
and the other circuit reports the shadow separately,
giving it less noise and then combines it.
So, both circuits are being used at the same time
on a dual gain output sensor.
And the benefit of doing all that is that this camera
has more dynamic range than any other camera
can and has ever offered and claims sixteens stops.
And that usually comes into play
when you're dealing with some intense natural light,
you don't have to be as selective of your environment
or time of day that is a big plus.
Now let's take a look at this shot of Sam,
he's getting blasted by direct sunlight.
The background is all in the shadows,
they're both on native ISOs and I'm gonna go
ahead and overexpose the shot
by opening up the lens by three stops.
But luckily both of these cameras
are powerful enough to recover this image,
but if we do look closely at the C
three hundred Mark three,
we're getting a little bit of clipping
in those skin tones.
And then we take it another step,
go five stops over there both goners,
but again the FX nine
seems to be able to handle
the highlights a little bit better.
So, the FX nine is looking great
until we started going under exposed.
This is two stops under we correct it
and you already see how much the detail
in the background in the shade is already gone.
Let's just keep it going four stops under
and when try to correct this,
the Sony gets destroyed.
So, this is telling me that Canon
is giving me a ton more information in the shadows
the Sony giving me a little bit more
information in the highlights.
I actually noticed something
similar with the Canon R five
and the A seven S three.
I don't think it would be a bad idea
to underexpose the Canons by a little bit.
But there is more to the story.
See, I'm recording at the highest
possible setting on both of these camera's,
which means the Canon has an advantage
because it can record raw internally.
I do love the raw light codec that's in here,
it's easy to work with but it is a gigabit per second
you're gonna blast to five hundred gigs of data
in an hour of recording.
So, you cannot be trigger happy in this mode,
but do we still have access
to all that dynamic range in XF ABC,
and the answer is not really.
We can still recover the highlights
by a comparable amount
the shot was three stops over still looks okay,
but we look into the shadows,
this shot is four stops under
and it's still better than the FX nine
but when you compare it to the raw it's not even close.
This is five stops under
and really the raw was the only one
that really stood a chance down here.
So, when it comes to dynamic range,
the Cannon still does win even in XF, ABC
but to really unlock all that potential
you really have to shoot raw.
The biggest difference between these two
is probably sensor size with the FX nine.
We get that full frame sensor,
so we have a wider field of view.
So, both of these cameras have the same exact lens on it.
The sixteen to thirty five F four,
and it's so much wider on the FX nine.
So, on the FX nine we're gonna have to Zoom
in that lens to try to match that C three hundred.
But also keep in mind that super thirty five sensors
aren't all the same side.
Sensor on here is definitely one of the biggest sizes
that fall under the super thirty five category.
So, if it's the shallow depth of field you're after
you can still get it with the C three hundred Mark three
- Am I on youtube
( laugh loudly)
Are you a Sony shooter or a Canon shooter?
- I have a T six I, he has a sixty D Mark two.
My goal is to get the new Sony.
(indistinct)
Now let's take a look at sharpness,
usually I try to do these with the same exact lens
but since they have different sensor sizes,
that's a little bit difficult
but they're both on Sigma Cine primes.
They're both sharp but once we punch in about 500%,
it does look like the Sony
does have that sharpness advantage,
which isn't really a surprise
because it does downscale a six K image.
So, then we get even closer to a 1000%
and they're both good but the Sony definitely has that edge.
Steve, which one of these cameras do you like better?
- The one you're shooting on 'cause it's easiest to carry.
(laughing)
- But you probably like the FX nine
because when clients see this camera,
they go, oh yeah, that's nice and big.
- Well, I can bill more for this.
So it does have its advantages.
- But on the other hand,
Sam's always following me around
and I'm assuming you like the lighter, smaller camera.
- It's so compact that if you go down low,
I could go all the way almost to the floor
and if you go high I could go high.
It's easy for me to follow you because it's small
and I'm just so familiar with the Canon system.
- Like I feel like when you look at it,
it's very easy to figure out what each button does.
Like this whole half is very self explanatory.
Magnification, peaking, zebra, waveform monitor shutter.
I still gain luck, right?
And then you look over here,
your first time shooting on it,
it just takes a little bit more like
what's that do pressing it,
trying that.
How about this?
what's that dude?
It takes a little bit more guesswork
opposed to here where everything's labeled clearly
but you still have the option to go in
and customize everything.
- Think Cannon across the board
has the most user friendly interfaces
from the lower end cameras,
all the way up to the higher end cameras.
Another aspect of the C three hundred Mark three
is the monitor is a little bigger than the FX nine.
- This monitor up here is a little bit weird at first
But once you get used to it's
actually pretty nice because you know exactly
how to place it and you can very quickly
get it in between the different positions.
Now, one thing I do like is that this is a monitor
slash viewfinder but this part itself,
how many times has it fallen on us
while we were out shooting?
- It's weird when it doesn't fall on us,
- It's just too easy for it to just come undone like this,
this latch is a little bit too light.
At least this thing's have been durable so far
now to see three hundred Mark three,
we have up to ten stops of ND,
which is great.
So, higher range but every time you adjust the ND
you're gonna see some plates move in and out.
One of my favorite things about this FX nine
is this new electronic ND variable.
Remember, it's not like those typical variable ND's
where you rotate and it can kind of mess with your image
because there are polarizers in there.
It's electronic some electric current goes through it
and blah, blur, blur, some science stuff.
And it's a very nice consistent
even level of neutral density.
You do see that plate come in as you turn it on,
which is at two stops.
And then you can scroll it very gradually
all the way up the seven stops.
I think a lot of times you're gonna be floating
in between that two to seven stop ND range,
so in those cases it's nice
to have this electronic variable,
but I think if you shoot in bright daylight
with really fast lenses,
you might want that extended range of neutral density.
So, we're talking about being able to hit
an F one four on a nice bright sunny day
and having enough neutral density
in the camera to handle that.
And having a camera that auto exposes
your shot using an ND filter.
What?
This was a first for me at least.
- No, I don't think anybody else has.
I was thinking about that.
- Yeah, it's crazy, right?
Usually you stay away from auto exposure, right?
If you have to your F-stop, your ISO,
your shutter speed, all that stays locked.
Your auto exposure comes from that ND
which is freaking awesome.
(laughing)
- Oh man, we were just talking
about how this thing never broke.
Oh my God, Steve just broke it.
I guess we found out that it's durable
until Steve touches it.
Sam, didn't we say we weren't gonna
let Steve touch the cameras.
- I don't know who invited him.
- No right.
Look at that guy.
- You wish you didn't invite me.
(laughing)
- I kinda do now.
(laughing)
- Easily stayed home today.
- Yeah right, Steve you love us too much.
- I also like dental work.
- How Steve's focusing on trying to fix this thing.
Let's take a look at the FX nine real quick,
because I do like how it feels as a handheld camera
- For long shoots I probably want this one.
- Yeah, especially if you're doing handheld
'cause with this I have a dovetail handheld rig
that I might slide this onto sometimes.
But a lot of times I do just end up finding myself,
just pressing that battery up against
my upper part of my test and holding it this way,
which tends to be stable but it does get a little bit tiring
because all the weight is in front of you,
opposed to the FX nine,
where majority of the weight
can sit right there on your
shoulder nice and comfortable.
And then you have your telescoping handle
that you can use to hit your record button
and your general controls.
Now, when it comes to stabilization C three hundred
much smaller meaning it's a lot easier
to get on to many different types gimbals
and you might actually be surprised
at how many gimbals can accept
the C three hundred Mark three.
Those options definitely get a lot slimmer
with this FX nine even when you strip it down,
you're still left with this pretty long body.
So, you have to make sure you have a gimbal
that can support that.
Now, with the C three hundred
I often like to run a stabilized lens
and also there's a layer of digital stabilization
that's built into the camera, which is nice.
It definitely helps a majority of the time,
but just like a majority of other Canon cameras,
if you're in a tight closeup of something
that it might track that subject itself
and actually give you the reverse effect
by making the camera look like it's shaking.
When it's really not.
On the other hand, you have the FX nine
where you can use an optically stabilized lens of course,
but also you can turn that off and store
the gyro information on the camera itself.
So, that in post you use catalyst browse
and that software is actually incredibly good
at stabilizing your footage.
And what's amazing is that you can decide exactly
how much stabilization you wanted to use in post.
So, you don't have to lock anything in.
Now, it doesn't get rid of motion blur
so they do recommend using a faster shutter speed,
maybe like one, one hundredth of a second
is what they were recommending,
but it is impressive and I love the idea of storing
all that gyro information in the metadata of the file.
It's kinda like the same thing
that GoPro's has been doing, right?
But the downside of that is that you can't use both
optically stabilized lens
and the metadata at the same time.
What's also nice about using the gyro information
is that it processes that footage way faster.
Like if you're using something like warp stabilizer,
that takes an eternity, right?
But when it's using the gyro data,
it just takes a few seconds to load up
and it's really fast and it shows you the side by side
of non stabilized and stabilized.
You could really dial in the exact
amount of stabilization you want.
So, I love that feature,
I think is super cool.
Now, when it comes to slow motion,
the C three hundred Mark three
definitely takes the wind
because we could do K one twenty
and still use dual pixel autofocus
while in one twenty raw even.
I love having that capability,
I can also go into a hundred and eighty
frames per second in two K,
but there's going to be a crop,
but the FX nine that kinda lacks a little bit in slow-mo
there's supposed to be a firmeware update
coming out in October.
That's gonna unlock a few feature
but it's still nothing crazy four K sixty
and I think and there's gonna be a slight crop.
Won't be able to do four K one twenty,
no auto-focus in any of the slow Mo modes
and a hundred and eighty frames per second in HD.
So, four K one twenty, four K sixty.
Alright, so let's wrap this up.
- Both of these camera's really capable,
they're both awesome.
But me personally with my style of shooting,
I would personally go for the C three hundred Mark three.
There's two things that really sold me on this camera,
one is its compact size and portability,
that's really important to me.
And two being able to shoot four K one twenty
while maintaining that dual pixel autofocus,
that is such a nice feature for me.
It's also very simple
and easy to figure out how to use
I can hand it off to Sam or Steve,
anyone that hasn't really this camera that much,
and they'll still be able to easily
figure it out right away.
I can even hand this to carrier
and say hey, just put the camera at me
and it'll probably turn out looking pretty good.
I also like the stabilization options,
especially when you put on a stabilized lens
and also turn on the digital image stabilization.
Like I said that digital stabilization isn't perfect,
but it's also very convenient.
Be able to get some pretty smooth footage
just right out of the camera.
And when I am on a job
and I want the best image out of here,
I love that internally.
I could get twelve bit raw out of there,
but even just that ten bit XF, ABC is pretty awesome.
And at that point on my pull off
this EF mount slap on a PL
I'll fit it with some bigger lenses
and you could really rig this out
to become a proper cinema camera.
Not to mention the built in anamorphic modes
and also these C pass express type B cards crazy fast.
What is this?
Seventeen hundred megabyte per second read speed,
or you can fill up this five hundred and twelve
gig memory card and download it on to a laptop like that.
It's awesome.
And also the ability to go all the way
up to ten stops of neutral density.
So, even in bright daylight,
I can go shoot an F one four if I want to.
But again, that is for my style of shooting,
but I was just talking to my buddy, Chris.
And I recommended he get the FX nine
for his style of shooting.
One, because he's all about that full frame life,
but also you have the option to go
super thirty five mode on here,
and you still have enough resolution
on that sensor to get a four K image.
So, you're flexible on full frame
or super thirty five.
And also portability isn't as big
over factor for him a lot of times for his projects,
so, drive up to a set and then shoot there all day
and then load back out.
It's not really gonna be packing it into backpack
and go hiking or anything like that.
But he does also have an A seven S three on pre order.
So, when that comes in that would be the perfect
hiking camera and then he can have this that will match
fairly decently with the A seven S three.
Now, of course that means he has a collection
of e-mount lenses which is great because,
so is this camera right?
The C three hundred Mark three,
these are all EF mount lenses.
And if you also pair that with
like the, then you're going to have RF lenses.
So a lot of times you're going to have to decide,
are you going to get an RF lens or an EF lens, right?
But with email it's the same across the board.
So you buy one great lens and you'll fit
just as well on this as it will on the mirrorless camera.
And internally it may not have raw
but it does have that ten bit codec,
which is generally enough for a majority
of professional shoots.
But you also have the option to eventually
output sixteen bit raw out of this camera.
So when you hook it up to the right devices,
it's going to be a monster.
And this electronic variable ND love this thing,
even though it does cap out at seven stops,
generally that's plenty.
Even if it's a really bright sunny day,
you can still open up your lenses
to F two eight in most cases,
I also love that the gyro data
gets stored on the file
so we can stabilize the shots in post.
And even though all these buttons
may not seem super intuitive,
you can go ahead and customize
it exactly how you want it.
So, it fits your camera
and you're using it day in, day out.
You're gonna be able to memorize all these buttons
real easily and customize it exactly how you want it.
And even though the screen is slightly smaller,
I do like the option of being able to pop it into EVF mode,
yes, we fixed it by the way.
If you're shooting in bright daylight,
it's definitely much more pleasant
to look through a viewfinder than a monitor
no matter how bright that monitor is.
And also on the next firmware update,
they're going to enable touchscreen operation up here.
So, that's gonna be nice
navigating through the menu that way.
And maybe one of the biggest benefits
is that it's also a full dollar cheaper
than the C three hundred Mark three.
And if you want to go full frame, then it's like what?
Five thousand dollar Less than the C five hundred Mark two.
So there's a lot of dollars,
but they're both really really feature heavy.
They're powerful, they're convenient.
They're smart.
So, you're really not gonna go wrong with either of these.
To wrap this up by reading a few comments
from my last video.
I did a giveaway in the last video
and everybody is commenting
entry done, entry done,
reason everyone is commenting like, what?
Why is everybody saying that?
I must be missing something
'cause I just said, drop a comment down below.
And then everybody is saying, "entry done".
I don't see a single comment
that doesn't just say entry done.
What the heck is happening seriously though.
I've been scrolling for a minute now
and it's every single one.
I can't wait to read all the comments down below
and just see a whole bunch of semicolons.
Anyways, let's call it a wrap for this one.
See you guys on the next one, see you..
See you guys on the next one. See it this two minutes.
