![]() ![]() Since all cameras shared the same film, it was primarily up to the lens to create superior image quality on the film plane. In the days of film cameras, the main criteria for selecting a camera “system” was the selection (and quality) of their lenses. In terms of modern pro- / semi-pro camera systems, here is my decision process. If people cannot make that commitment, then I recommend they stick with smart phone photography - which is amazing - but has it limits. Now, if you plan to get serious about photography, it requires a commitment to learning not only composition, but lens selection, technology and software - and to follow the updates and innovation in all of these areas. I also get asked to recommend camera systems. And I get to see firsthand how these cameras perform in difficult low-light situations (Milky Way, Northern Lights,…). I typically see new cameras as soon as they are released. So move along now, because there's nothing to see here.In my workshops I get to experience the performance of many cameras. ![]() It's a Panasonic and BlackMagic world now, and if you want 4k video, you're sadly looking in the wrong place in 2017. If you want 4k video from Canon, well, you're going to have to PAY for it, because Canon has dedicated video cameras in that resolution, and they are steering you right to them if you want to see a Canon plate on your 4k camera.īut let's face it, it's now 2017, and the video revolution that started with the Mk II and Magic Lantern is long over. About the only error Canon has really made is overpricing it, although I suspect the price will drop fairly quickly.įinally, this is CANON we're talking about here. In a camera like this, video is thrown in essentially for shits and giggles. Secondly, it's a base camera, a camera designed for those who want to break into full frame still photography who want to own Canon. First and foremost, this is a STILL IMAGE camera! Considering it's previous incarnation, this is a significant upgrade to make up for what was a really lacking camera, even compared to it's rival, the Nikon D600/610. ![]() I don't understand why everyone is so bent out of shape about this. Essentially this is an 80D with a full frame sensor at almost double the price. Yes, it's a smaller sensor, but it's also a far more robust camera. Being full-frame isn't enough to make you special, especially at such a high price point. It's not enough to come out with a "good" camera anymore. In short, who is this thing for?Ĭanon needs to realize that we live in a world where the quality of almost every new camera out there is incredible and innovation is everything. If it's a stills camera the Nikon D750 is clocking in at $200 cheaper with similar features plus dual card slots. For video, it's woefully lacking in features when compared to the equally priced Panasonic GH5. In short, it's suffering from an identity crisis. Check out the videos by Kai Wong and Jared Polin for other perspectives, but in my opinion, including a fully articulating screen gives the appearance of wanting to compete with other manufacturers in the realm of video. While I have no doubt that it will be a great performer, it's lagging behind other manufacturers in a big way as far as innovations go.
