Sony a5000 vs Canon M10 - Vlogging Comparison

[@mgfloresca]

This side by side video and audio test is genius and so amazingly helpful! I am upgrading from my iphone and could not figure out which camera to get starting out as there are so many different models out there. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@preciousakilu]

what most "professional" reviewers don't understand is that a review like yours is exactly what most average people are looking for, the best review I've seen by far, well done!

[@imnoah1124]

Agree! :D You did a great job, sir. Thanks :D I picked M10.

[@antonmacapili9930]

+tobetwobees2b How's the M10??

[@imnoah1124]

Auto focus is not great as indicated in many reviews. If you simply do video without moving much like me, then this is so far so good :D

[@DaxM]

I agree with tobetwobees2b, the auto focus isn't the best but I've been playing around with the settings a little and you can' minimize the loss of auto focus a little and keep it locked in.

[@antonmacapili9930]

+DaxM How about this m10 for Portrait photography?? is it good for a beginner like me???

[@joeljoy293]

That was one of the best reviews that I have gone through. Thank you so much @DaxM

[@teadott]

its pretty good for real

[@PentoolistaTV]

Sony a5000 has more natural color than canon m10. It is perfect for daylight. But sucks in lowlight. Also, sony has a very expensive equipments. Canon M10 does a great job in both daylight and lowlight tho. Canon M10 wins!

[@nuramoboy]

I thought the same thing and I agree

[@bobbydooly]

@@nuramoboy Sony is not known for more natural colours. Canon outperforms Sony on colours especially skin tones. Thats just my opinion and it is shared by many videographers.

[@storytop9876]

I am not sure about other parameters...But Sony kills everything in low light performance. Sony performs better in low light

[@SLGeek]

This is what I looking for . I'm a tech vlogger . M10 is my next camera for sure . Thanks

[@DaxM]

Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching.

[@shebengs8680]

i cant stress enough how helpful this review is. Im a student who likes to travel and on the look for a new and affordable camera. This review is so helpful that it shows the actual differences and it makes it so much easier for people like myself on purchasing decision! i wish other reviewers would do the same! please make a video on canon m6 too! advance many thanks!!!!

[@j.d.3597]

This is a phenomenal review set-up!

[@DaxM]

Jeffery Duke thanks for watching.

[@AnyaEightySeven]

I think the Sony has better picture quality. It makes things look more realistic. Its sharper. The canon has far better lighting. But it added a glow and smoothed details too much for my tastes. Due to the overheating, I would go for Canon.

[@vladimirtrump4806]

try Magik Latern - should increase image quality

[@justdom1618]

Anya the Sony overheats?

[@ericdieker9316]

You must be crazy. The Sony looks blurry.

[@avishekghatak2176]

@@ericdieker9316 the Sony was way sharper and cleaner. The blurry bits were out of focus. Canon has better exposure but the quality of the video wasn't nearly as good.

[@liteondonzax]

i will just quote @preciousakilu ~ what most "professional" reviewers don't understand is that a review like yours is exactly what most average people are looking for, the best review I've seen by far, well done! ~ ! well done sir ! i really love this video and i am glad that i have found you and ive just subscribed ! all the best !

[@TheGamerDad82]

Exactly! I've been scouring youtube for a review like this for days. Thanks to you @DaxM, my new cam (EOS M10) is on its way to me!

[@rainyseason.]

Totally agree!

[@TribeCalledNoel]

Agreed with the person below. I was literally going to buy the A500 TODAY...after seeing this...The sound quality is a no-go! Super helpful Mr. Dax! Happy New Year

[@RespectfulRevolution]

You're review is PERFECT under all accounts. No BS, I now know exactly which camera to buy and you saved me a ton of time & $$$. And I'm glad you saved me from giving my $$$ to a company I grew to dislike more over the years BTW....

[@mochi7643]

which company? sony or canon :O

[@RespectfulRevolution]

The company that doles out features to constantly force its customers to buy new equipment because it never gives them all that they need... which is... Sony of course. But see, I'm completely full of it because after spending at least three nights watching scores of reviews, I finally settled for... the new Sony RX100 V. It's a lot of $$$ but I figured, if you're gonna spend 6 or 7 bills, you might as well throw two more and get the best point-and-shoot camera on the market at this point. I would rather have bought a Panasonic because I love the company but... the Lumix LX 10 isn't quite there yet unfortunately.

[@taylamayde]

i was bout to say lol that rx100 a beast i know u love it

[@MikesManCave]

I also watched lots of reviews, now bought the Sony A5000 just today, this is 2018, but I still think the camera is very relevant to youtube creators.

[@willpowr416]

Mike's Man Cave I'm thinking of buying a 5000 today... How has it been so far?

[@TheTonyMartinExperience]

Thanks for this I am about to buy the m10. That audio was a dramatic change. The m10 is far better.....wow.

[@ffamosobrian]

The Tony Martin Experience Did you like it?

[@Junior2uu]

So true

[@VasilisChtz]

The Tony Martin Experience is the mic that good?

[@Lotje250]

Well it's a lot better than the sony here so yeah

[@richardramirez9445]

I just started trying to understand cameras. I am literally with 0 knowledge with it until i this review. It is very informative. No extra just pure information. Great job!! You deserve more subscription.

[@trishagumafelix5254]

The best review I've ever watch! 😍 Eto talaga yung review na hinahanap ko. Hindi yung sasabihin lang kung ano ano yung mga specs ng cam. Makikita mo talaga yung difference nung cameras eh. Thankyou for this vid. Hands up! 😄

[@carolineerlam3110]

Brilliant review. I get so frustrated with reviews that don’t show you what the camera can do and all you get is he vlogger talking and not showing. By far this is the best review I’ve seen . Hands down

[@DaxM]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad it helped.

[@KazDubyew]

This is a brilliant review! I'm not a vlogger, but trying to decide whether or not I want the M10. This was so much more helpful than loads of others i've been reading and watching. Good work!

[@saptaabimanyu7188]

I've been looking for this kinda review. This is the best review I've ever had. thank you

[@DaxM]

Sapta Abimanyu glad you found it. Thanks for watching

[@Tumblroy72]

Best camera review ive seen! Love that way the video was edited (Having both videos side by side), as well as the different tests you did. Great Job!

[@joshnorton9326]

This is probably the best camera video review I've seen, so much better than the "professionals", exactly what I was looking for thank you

[@tonyblohsh]

I was looking at the Sony a5000 on Amazon, and thinking of buying it. However, when I found out about the Canon M10 I was maybe considering it a bit more. I decided to look on KZbin to see if there were any comparisons. I didn't think there would be any at all, but I just wanted to check. Your video was the first one that came up and I was SO happy! It was exactly what I was looking for! I was so happy I had watched the video, because it made me have a whole different view on the superiority of the Canon M10 to the Sony a5000. I cannot explain how helpful this video was to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, and taking the time to compare each and every aspect of the cameras. I can's thank you enough.

[@DaxM]

I’m glad it helped you. Thanks for watching. 😀

[@KizzyCourtney]

This was by far the best review I've seen, been debating between these two cameras and m10 has my vote. Thank you so much for your hard work.

[@simmyandrea3677]

There are so many rubbish videos reviewing cameras but yours is by far the best I've watched. So in-depth and detailed and allowed me to make my final decision as to what camera to buy. Thanks a lot! X

[@jdaragon]

This is a fantastic review! I have an old Canon point and shoot and have contemplated getting a sony for months. From what I've read on the specs, Sony gives you 20 mps and the Canon has 18. Although the auto lighting filter is obviously superior, this is something that can also be touched up in editing. Also a plus that I like about the Sony is the richness in color. Thanks again for sharing, this has helped. :) Happy Holidays!

[@DaxM]

Thanks for watching and happy holidays to you and your's.

[@wassupjg]

Great comparison dude, you went straight into what's important and presented straight to the point, nicely done

[@emilyudell7032]

This review is so helpful! Im saving up for the canon m10

[@SuperJonni2010]

itsonlyemily Go for the a5000. It has better autofocus, better grip, and better ISO performance (means that it can take less noicy shots in dark). Even better choise is a5100, it's about the same price as a5000.

[@sahmommamang]

pesuainepoika But Sony over heats.

[@cracxed2519]

pesuainepoika n

[@SuperJonni2010]

SAHMOMMAMANG Not when taking pictures, maybe when taking alot of videos.

[@sahmommamang]

pesuainepoika That's what I was thinking too. Maybe it overheats because people use it to record videos with no stops in between like a straight shot-one-time kind of video. Maybe that's why it over heats....

[@bongolzxc]

Your review, mate, deserves more recognition, here, have my like. And thank you very much, your review helps a lot. Now i know what i am going to buy

[@DaxM]

Arga Widhiasmawan thanks for the kind words. Congrats on your decision.

[@HangingwithTheOsos]

Thank you so much for this video!! I'm in the market for a new blog camera and I've never heard of the canon m10 and by the looks of your footage, I'm really liking it!!

[@jarod4323]

this is the review that i've been searching for this whole day, thanks !

[@sammienicole_]

Exactly the kind on review I've been looking for! Been struggling to decide what camera I want for my channel and this was exactly what I wanted to know. I think other reviewers make things a bit complicated, when all I want to know is about lightning, microphone, focus and quality! Thanks os much for this review!

[@ohemgeeitsmaya]

This was incredibly useful, thank you so much for doing this! You've just saved me a lot of money :)

[@Sainibala]

I'm in love.. with your reviewing skills. Very in depth, accurate and just what I needed to know. I know which camera I want now... Thank you, DaxM

[@mrssarkazz]

I have the a5000 and I love it. My last vlog shows it's quality. Good review.

[@RageDauntlessWinters]

Greetings Sir, Such review is simple and.effective! M10 will be my choice as a beginner.

[@SuperJonni2010]

Rage Dauntless Winters Are you buying it for shooting photos or video?

[@RageDauntlessWinters]

pesuainepoika​, I already bought it and I am.using it for videos and photos as well. Kit lens are good, however if you use an EF-EOS adapter mount with auto focus support, you can expand the capabilities. right now, I am using 50mm f1.8 EF lens and I am contented with the performance. it is not a perfect camera for some but for me, it is a better start and step up from the smartphones, which is not a "real" camera for me.

[@SuperJonni2010]

Rage Dauntless I bought an a5000 instead and i have been very impressed with it and especially with it's autofocus. It's stupidly fast in almost every situation. It's very helpful in situations where it's hard to manyally focus. Canon is probably very good aswell.

[@tomw6414]

pesuainepoika can you try recording 30 minutes of video? People say Sony cameras overheat and shut down after 15 min of recording, especially at highest 1080p setting?

[@SuperJonni2010]

Tom W Im not sure about it's video performance, but it's exellent for photography.

[@chellebernido6549]

Great review and comparison Dax! It's really frequent to see a side by side testing of cameras in the same price range nowadays. This vid just saved me from spending $$$ on a wrong choice. For me, Canon M10. Thumbs up!

[@DaxM]

Glad it helped.

[@Bleuvibes]

If they took the image quality from the Sony and kept the microphone for the cannon and the canons low light you'd have the perfect camera... Can't decide 🙄

[@DaxM]

+Bleu I totally agree. 👍

[@ibapa888]

An awesome review. Showed me a lot of info from both cameras. Makes it easy for people to decide which one they want and you,re not even an expert camera guy. Kudos!

[@DailyLoveee]

Been looking for a review about Canon M10 and this is the best review I've ever seen. Great job!

[@moderator_sanchez]

damn, hellova good review, man! i already have my a5000 with lenses of 16-50, 18-55, 55-210 aaand 16 with vcl-ecf (fihseye), and as far as i got in options - on Sony you can change the "Metring" option on "Multi", or "Centre" or "Dot", so you could choose the light distribution on your shot

[@oseeeng]

Was looking forward to buy a new camera probably for vlogging~~ was planning to buy the sony a5000, but i guess this video changed my mind to just buy the Canon M10 hehe 😁 Thankyou for this video!

This was literally the most amazing review I've ever seen

[@mikeviewer01]

Sincerely, this review saved me a lot of time checking on reviews (which are biased at times) on which to buy among these 2 camera models. Sir @DaxM may you live until you are 487 years old so us Laymans can watch more reviews like yours. All the best!! And I just subscribed by the way...

[@nancymascorro6369]

finally! A good review comparing cameras! Nicely done

[@arvintajson9767]

Best review ever! I bought the Sony A5000 yesterday because of you, THANKS!!!!!

[@TadeyPremusic]

Now I see that my decision for Canon M10 was the best one. I was thinking of buying Sony a5000 and I didn't because I saw some reviews of overheating.

[@soledadvazquez7198]

The sony a5000 does not overheat, the a5100 does

[@DennisEspiritu]

Excellent comparison! I wish all camera reviews are like this.

[@gillkill32]

where were you when I needed something like this a year ago? great comparison!

[@Oculudus]

This was so helpful. These were the two cameras I ended up narrowing my search down to. The sound and the ability to cope with low light really convinced me of the canon. Thanks!

[@mykrojas]

hi dax! i see you're just starting out on the vlogging, as i have too. so far from what i've seen here in among the other reviews so raw, yours have been very helpful to ordinary people. keep it up!

[@melbourneally8194]

Best comparison video!!! I'm looking at the Canon for vlogging so your test was PERFECT! Thank you for being so thorough with the comparison job :)

[@poydrel18]

Saw these 2 cameras in a store and I've been torn between them since. Because of your review, I'm finally decided and I thank you for it :) Canon ftw.

They are both great vlogging cameras but Sony has horrible audio and bad low light and the canon has bad autofocus. Which one to chose 🤔 great review!

This review is really usefull! I realized that the Canon mic is even better than the Sony mic and the M10 is brighter in video recording. I think you are the one who change my mind about the Sony...

[@ryantheblokeman2611]

how good is the canon M10 low light and sound quality?

[@stevesolo1512]

I agree with Precious, my wife and I watched a ton of reviews a mix of amateur and professional reviewers and this is by far the most helpful, my wife just wanted an honest demo with varying situations/conditions and you nailed it. Great work.

[@liyak]

Wow thanks.. i just bought a canon m10.. and now im watching a ton of review videos before my camera arrives... and im happy watching yours

[@kudesnik_net]

Clear and easy to understand! Thanks a lot - this is exactly what I was looking for - the review of non professional equipment for non-professionals! Now I know what to expect from both cameras in EXACTLY from exactly the same glance that I am going to use either of them... Thank, DaxM!

[@chaoreas2064]

this is exactly the review I've been looking for.

[@JustKriztina]

I've watched this a gazillion times already :))) And now I think the M10 is better :) Thanks again for making this review, DaxM!

I actually think I prefer the a5000? I don’t mind the audio being quieter as I use an iPhone now and have to turn up the audio on iMovie

[@mikeeocampo2000]

Probably one of the most helpful reviews I've seen. Thanks! 😊

[@fcoker73]

Even though I was looking for a picture test on the canon m10 you did a great job testing both cameras!

Very good head-to-head comparison! I have the Canon M10 and really liking it! Especially when it was on sale for less than 300$.

[@arminfatol]

Now THIS is what I call review side by side! Great job, thanks!

[@PeopleMakePictures]

A brilliant and simple post. I was going to buy the Sony a7, then I saw the a6000, then I saw the a5000, then I saw the Canon M10.... hmmm. I think that's made my mind up. Thanks.

[@tommynaibaho1197]

is m10 good for sit down video? Im looking for a good camera low light on budget. I was thinking the m3. if m10 i enough for me I can add a new lens for it

[@tommynaibaho1197]

hwlp please

[@DaxM]

Tommy Naibaho in my opinion the M10 is fine for sit down footage and the lens it comes with is fine for moderate low light. The best thing about the M10 is you can change the lenses. There's lots of lenses that'll have a f-stop less than the 3.5 it comes with. I've seen some f1.8 lenses that are awesome.

[@tommynaibaho1197]

DaxM can we get m10 kit + f 1.8 + tripod with a same price as m3kit? I was thinking f 1.8 like u said

[@DaxM]

Tommy Naibaho don't know. You'd have to look around. But for the same price might be a little hard.

[@tommynaibaho1197]

you record 2 of them with default settings? is it possible sony win if both using small aperture 3.5 kit?

[@Fi2pianist]

This is one of the best comparison videos ever! very helpful

[@Novemberries]

This is very helpful! I'm a beginner and still looking for the most decent camera I could buy and this just made the decision process a whole lot easier. Thank you so much!

[@TheKaren_makeup]

Thanks for the review! I already purchased the A500 for video only..I just noticed that it was difficult for it too stay focus when I recorded a video. but your right the low light on the Sony is not great it had to use 2 umbrella lights and a ring light, this was a simple upgrade from the nikon point n shoot. Thanks again for the review.

[@JemiilBrasco26]

Best camera review and comparison I seen! Ur a cool dude!

[@stellamariss8946]

Love this review! This is exactly what I'm looking for. As non-professional user I just want something that works well enough according to my situation (good AF, good IS, low-light shoot quality). I honestly don't care much about the MP or else, if the result just good enough, I am happy haha. Thank you!

[@thienvuongquach9209]

Sony A5000 doesn't focus your hand in auto focus test? Its cost is much bigger than M10. Why?

[@CinestesiaAnime]

Something has to be wrong with your A5000 exposition congif, because that is obsceneley dark, I saw other videos of A5000 in low light.

[@DaxM]

Cinestesia Anime ya, I've had a few people say that. All I can say is that all settings were out of the box (default) settings. Maybe what you guys saw online were videos with adjusted settings for the low light? Who knows. Thanks for watching.

[@CinestesiaAnime]

DaxM Thakns to you for the comparison.

[@fyekid2916]

Honestly the Sony a5000 doesn't seem bad at all in this video in low light. BUT when he put it side by side to the Canon m10 that's when it appeared bad in low light

[@renaldiwicaksono7925]

what you're doing is great. This is the best review. In my opinions, sony alpha a5000 had cinematic looks video with Bad audio, and eos M10 had brightest video with Amazing Audio.

[@rejinaalmanis5552]

[@t0sh400]

Great video. This is exactly what i was looking for. The only thing missing to be perfect was a conclusion at the end. Would have loved to hear your opinion after reviewing the footage. To me the M10 was a clear winner in light, audio and zoom. I only couldn't hear if the zoom was also audible as you switched to Sony that moment.

[@DaxM]

t0shki well thanks for watching. I left out my opinion at the end purposely so everyone could make their own opinions. Let's just say I use the M10 now and I'm super happy with it.
