- What's going on guys, ah,
first of all I have a little pimple here,
so if you guys could do me a little favor,
just don't look at it.
That'd be great, I'm a little self-conscious about it.
This is the EOS R and a while ago I made a video
about the 4K versus the HD on this,
a lot of you guys where hating on this camera.
You guys were like oh the 4K on the Canon's so bad.
- It sucks dude, don't listen to this guy,
go with the Sony A7 III, it's a much better camera,
it's cheaper, it's got better dynamic range,
it's better in low light, why would you buy that thing?
What about the crop?
- Could you please go back to your channel?
- What? - Yeah
Your channel's right over there.
- No, no we need to do a test.
- I was like Armando take me to a cool place spot to film
and then he was like I know this really shady looking alley,
and now here we are.
Basically I'm out here with Armando just to tell him
that he should sell that thing.
You have like SLog3 but you're recording 4K
at 100 megabits per second, how you gonna grade that thing?
It's gonna fall apart.
- Give this video a thumbs up
if you want me to attach some balloons
so he can go flying like the guy from UP.
- Hey, that's not funny, that's not cool,
that's too real.
- Let him know, that this is the best camera
under 2000 dollars.
You're getting a 6K image, it's being down-sampled to 4K,
so you're going to get a lot more megapixels, mega pickles.
- In theory.
How are you gonna be a YouTuber, Vlogger
and not have a flip out screen,
you're just like looking at this like piece of glass, like.
- Good thing we're not shooting this with the EOS R
or I would be like this because of that damn crop.
- So we set up a bunch of shots side-by-side
and we're gonna like compare them and actually see
which camera looks better in what condition.
- So we also did a couple tests on my channel,
we're doing auto-focus, low-light and also color science
so if you guys are interested in watching that,
head on over to the channel,
I'm sure that there'll be a link.
- This is not a commercial for your channel okay.
- Subscribe!
- You're on Potato Jet time right now.
- Subscribe!
- Go over to his channel and unsubscribe
if you're already subscribed.
- That's terrible, don't do that.
Why don't you unsubscribe and see which one,
we'll check Socialblade tomorrow.
- (laughing) Okay, let's not do this
(laughing) let's not do this.
- Alright you guys already know the drill by now.
We went out and shot a sequence side by side
with these cameras, some with matching cinema lenses
and some with comparable native lenses.
Watch this sequence and tell me
which camera you like better.
Camera one on the left or camera two on the right.
Here we go.
- Just for one second I'm gonna hold this here
for a second and I want you guys to tell me
which one you guys like better just from those few shots,
one or two.
Both cameras where shooting on standard picture profile
and literally as straight out of the box as they get.
Don't worry, we're gonna get over the technical specs
and the microscope and take a super binocular look
at all this footage in second,
but all specs and all that stuff aside,
just looking at that quick intro,
I personally like camera number two better,
which is the EOS R.
And yeah both of these have lots of different capabilities
and all that stuff that we're gonna talk about in a second
but just the straight at the camera look tells you a lot
about what you can expect out of this camera.
And yeah we are gonna talk about
all the technical specs in a second cause hey,
they're fun to talk about and they're exciting
whenever a new spec sheet comes out.
But for me I try to ignore that stuff as much as possible
and just try to look at the footage
and as always there's no right or wrong answer
on which camera looks better,
it's just kinda like looking at two paintings
and going, hmm I like that one better
and one's like hmm why do you like that painting better,
it's like dude I don't (bleep) know I just like it.
Is the EOS R a better camera than the A7 III?
I'm not really one to say, but I'm happy that I got EOS R?
Hells yeah.
Alright, so let's start off by looking at the 4K
in both of these cameras.
They're both honestly really, really sharp.
I mean if you do 1000% scale up,
the A7 looks a tiny bit better in some cases,
but again they're really, really close
and they both have great 4K.
And I've seen people talk about how soft the 4K
in the EOS R is and my response to that is,
first of all what kind of lens where you using?
And are you sure you got critical focus
or where you just using peaking?
Because I can promise you that if you're using
matching cinema lenses, it's neck and neck with A7 III.
But we did notice something, on the A7 III you can shoot 4K
in either Full Frame mode or Super 35.
If we take a microscope up to it,
the Super 35 mode does not look nearly good
as if you're using that Full Frame sensor.
So if you have an A7 III
and wanna get the most out of your 4K,
keep your dirty little fingers off that Super 35 mode.
On the other hand as we all know
Cannon crops in automatically in 4K which sucks.
So yeah, unfortunately you're gonna need
to get yourself some wider lenses
for that 4K punched in mode.
But on the bright side the 4K is super sharp
and the codec is nice and beefy,
up to 480 megabits per second,
meaning it should be able to withstand some heavy grading.
Armando's gonna be grading both these cameras
so more on his video.
Alright so now we now that both cameras have excellent 4K
but how about the HD and I personally shoot
all my YouTube videos in HD like right now
I'm shooting on an ADD
and there's several different reason why I do that
but for one I spend a long time filming these videos
and there's a lot of data.
Have you noticed that I've been filming
since it was bright outside and now it's dark.
I don't need to be more of a data hoarder than I already am
I mean look at this, each one of these
is like four terabytes, couple of eight terabytes.
(coughing) it's a lot of dust,
I haven't touched them in a while but I have them still.
Dude and I'm still not even done though,
this one's like a 16 terabyte.
Guys I burn through media like crazy.
And I've been there,
shooting the highest resolution possible all the time
and never wanting to delete any footage
but seriously though after like years of this insanity
I'm done, I'm shooting HD bro.
Another question is do you really want 4K and if so, why?
A lot of people say, oh they want higher resolution
so they can punch in and more pixels
and yeah that's all valid.
But if you're a Vlogger do you really want this thing
right up in your face filming every little pore?
Alright so let's take a look at this for a second,
now we are in 4K, it looks nice and sharp right?
But are you sure you wanna come this close?
You really wanna see all these like little details,
you wanna see like little hair?
You can see my chipped tooth right there,
that got shot out by a BB gun.
I feel like I asked you nicely to not look at my pimple
but now that we're in 4K I feel like you guys can't help it
and this is kinda disrespectful, you know,
I'm like tryna make this video for you guys
and try to be helpful an you guys are just,
you know, just staring at my pimples.
And I'm convinced that's why a majority of movies
that are out in theaters today is shot on the Arri Alexa
which has a 3.2K sensor not even a 4K sensor
because these actors and famous people,
they're not perfect, when you do a close up,
you're taking a picture of someone like this big
and blowing it up to something that's like 50 feet tall,
like that's scary.
I mean even with this HD camera like
this pimple's a little bit sharp here,
this is how I want my videos to look from now on.
Look, I look like baby-skin noodle.
But it's also important to realize
that not all HD is created equal.
Some HD can look a lot better than other
and this happens to also be the case
with the EOS R and the A7 III.
I shot my entire last video in HD
and a lot of it actually in 720p even
and a lot of you guys just talked about
how much you liked the look and the colors of it.
I like good HD.
The A7 III's HD on the other hand, I'm not a huge fan.
The first time we went out and get some test shots
I looked at the footage and I was like,
this doesn't look that good,
maybe it was out of focus or something so we went out again
and then just like quadruple checked the focus on it
and it just always looked a little bit soft,
so if you have an A7 III I would always suggest
shooting in 4K and then down scaling it in post.
And then your HD is gonna look
much better when you down scale it.
But on the other hand the EOS R,
the HD straight out of the camera is pretty solid.
(cheering) - Oh (bleep)
(laughing) - I thought it was this line
- You messed up.
Do you guys see this, I can't work with this guy.
You had one job to do.
And for me, I would much rather shoot
on HD all the time anyway,
so I kinda just rather have good HD straight outta camera.
Alright so let's round this up.
This is a 500% scale up on the this tough-ass baby.
The worst is obvious, it's Sony's HD,
don't even touch that thing.
And then we look at Canon's HD
and it looks a whole lot better.
Next up, is Sony's 4K at Super 35 mode, like I mentioned,
if you're shooting in 4K, try not to use that mode.
And then the Canon's 4K and the Sony's Full Frame 4K
is neck and neck, right there at the top.
Now me, just like everybody else,
was like uugh when they announced the 4K crop
but I thought about it for a while
and I ended up buying it and yes I did buy it,
Canon never sends me free stuff,
although Canon if you're watching please send me free stuff,
I'm going so broke because of you guys.
But after thinking about for a little while I realized,
ah the 4K crop isn't the worst thing in the world for me
because first of all I know HD out of this camera's
really solid and that's what I'm gonna be shooting
all my YouTube stuff with.
And if you saw my last video,
I think even the 720p's not terrible for YouTube,
I think it's enough.
And the other half of the time
when I'm not shooting YouTube videos,
I'm shooting projects, commercials, whatever work brings in.
And for those commercials I really love the fact
that this has C-Log 'cause C-Log is really nice to grade
it's powerful, it's flexible
and usually if I'm filming for work I'm not filming myself,
I'm usually filming other objects,
so I don't really need super wide frames,
so I just slap on tighter lenses
and I could also use this Sigma 18 to 35
which I really, really love.
And of course I can throw this on a Gimbal
and I know the dual-pixel auto-focus
is gonna do a pretty good job
because I've trusted that since the C300 Mark II.
But of course Armando's running some tests
to compare the auto-focus on these two as well.
So with the Gimbal by myself I can get really good 4K
with a good codec, with a good color profile.
So when you're considering all of that, you know,
this is kind of a good deal for professional grade camera.
Now the A7 III, don't get me wrong is a spectacular camera,
I'm just trying to explain why I skipped that
when that came out and why I'm buying this
even though it's more expensive.
For me, I think it's worth it.
Starting to lose a little bit of sun here,
it's starting to get darker, once it gets pitch black,
we're gonna do a couple of low-light tests,
so make sure you go check out his video,
go dislike it and uh, (laughter).
So what made you get this camera.
- I mean it's kinda hard to beat for 2000 dollars,
Full Frame, peaking, you know all those features,
Super 35, pretty decent slow motion,
overall it's a great camera for 2000 dollars.
Color science on this has improved drastically
compared to like the A7S II and even the other Sony cameras,
I felt like they were to much magenta,
the skin tones where not that great.
It's improved drastically,
but I still think color science on the Canon
is probably gonna be much better,
but I guess you'll have to come to my channel
to see the results on that.
- Cliffhanger.
- Yes.
- I don't think there's a solid answer
to which one should you buy, this or this.
I think a lot of it depends on
what you're looking for and what you need.
- There is that crop factor
which I know a lot of people make it a big deal
but you've done some really great videos
showcasing the 1080p on this is phenomenal
and as someone who does a lot of YouTube
and uploads a lot of content,
I checked the analytics and 98% of the people
are watching on an iPhone or an Android phone in 1080p.
One thing that we haven't talked about is the
ND Filter Adaptor that will be on sale
I think next year or later this year.
That's gonna be awesome because as someone
who shoots with a C200, built in ND Filters
is really, really a great thing to have
as opposed to slapping on and threading something on.
For me I think a lot of it comes down to
what your priorities are,
what is the most important thing to you.
For me personally, one of the most important things
is this flip-out screen.
Some people can vlog without this flip-out screen
but to me I just feel so much more comfortable.
I dunno how you can possibly vlog with that thing.
You might be walking from a sunny spot to a shady spot
and you don't know how that's gonna look.
Right now if someone was gonna come up behind us
and stab us in the neck, 'cause you know
the places he's taking us too, you know we can see it,
but on that, like you know, you're a lot more blind,
so for me, that flip-out screen
was like one of the high priorities.
If your priorities aren't necessarily the flip-out screen
or just great out of camera color,
then the A7 III starts to look a bit more attractive
'cause being able to utilize the full sensor
and compiling that into your 4K image
is gonna give you a really clean image.
We're gonna talk a little bit about low light on your video.
We're about to get kicked out right now,
so we're gonna have to wrap this video up quick.
We're literally getting kicked out right now.
Right, talk to you guys later.
So now we're back at my pad
and we're gonna do our traditional reading of comments.
So let's do this, by the way this might not be my pad
for even that much longer, that's right,
we might be moving in about two months.
This might all change, my background might be
hopefully something really, really cool.
So let's take a look at what the top comment was
for the last video.
"Ugh - sucked in by another "Premiere"
man I hate these "Premieres"."
And when I first saw that option I was like,
that might be kinda cool,
but I think it causes a lot more frustration.
HardLine says, "You like the kid from that UP Movie"
No I don't!
"YouTube is more and more becoming like TV"
Got it, never touch that Premiere button.
"So are we just ignoring the fact that kid from UP
totally put his hand on dried up bird (bleep) on the pier?"
I hope, did I, did I do that?
Did I put my hand on the poop?
Oh that's really close to the poop.
Luckily it wasn't on that big patch of poop right there
'cause I ate a hot dog right after (laughing).
"Yeah, would not recommend the Premiere feature.
This some TV heritage crap we can leave behind."
Alright so this video definitely gonna be a normal upload.
"An interesting video idea: low budget anamorphic?"
That could be really cool.
"I think we should get this guy from UP
to the top by subscribing."
I partially agree with your statement.
"When with the A7 III versus EOS R be upload."
Well technically today when you're watching it, now,
but it's tomorrow in this time, I've yeah.
"Dude just stop with this Premiere bs."
I didn't know Premiere would piss off so many people.
"What happened to the dog with the three legs?"
That's Lefty, she can only go so far,
she gets tired after running for like 10, 15 minutes.
So we don't really take her on really long walks
or else like her back and arms start hurting.
Three-legged dog life.
Anyways I hope you guys have an awesome Halloween
and I better start packing.
I'm heading over to Toronto.
I'm gonna be there next week,
so if you guys have any suggestions on things to see or do
I'm gonna be staying in downtown, but I have a rental car
so I kinda wanna drive somewhere really cool.
Hanging out with Maddie, should be fun,
I'll see you guys later.
