I love what Sony and Sigma is doing with compact primes for E-mount. E-mount has a great support by Zeiss and Voightlander. Also, unless I'm terribly mistaken, you can adapt lots of non-Sony/Minolta DSLR glass on E-mount, including Canon glass. That being said, Canon has some great compact zoom lenses for R. A1 is better but not by much despite all the tech ... and at that price R5 is amazing. So, I'm getting Pentax.

I'm sure Sony is just as good if not better for Image quality, but I love Canon's ease of use, value, solid build and glass. Great video, Jared.

[@PioneerFoto]

Nice job Jared, always love you and Steve! As a company that primarily shoots weddings in NY, NJ, CT, we went with the A1. We just couldn't run the risk of a camera overheating during a full Catholic ceremony. Interestingly as far as cost goes (this is what we did)..... the A1 with the Sigma 28-70 f2.8, and Tamron 70-180 f2.8 totals $8,596. The R5 with their 24-70 f2.8, and 70-200 f2.8 totals $8,897. We put the extra $301 towards some pro grade SD Cards. P.S.- Tell Steve, he's my hero. Great job editing.

[@waynedennyphoto]

Nikon portrait shooter here for over a decade, using a D800 professionally for the last 7 years or so. I really wanted to stick with Nikon, but just couldn't wait on them any longer to catch up with the competition. I considered the A1, but the thing that pushed me to choose the R5 instead (camera arrives today!) was the glass. I also bought the 85 1.2, and even though that's some seriously expensive glass it was the same cost as if I had just purchased the A1 without a lens. Given how close they match up, it's hard to justify switching to the A1. I'm also considering the 28-70 f2, which if I buy it will make it about the same cost as buying the A1 and one high end lens. Even if I don't end up buying it, it's really cool that Canon is innovating with something like this lens.

[@filetdelumiere5037]

Nikon shooter since the D200, I now use a D810 (studio, fashion, portraiture, nude). I am sad that Nikon is not anymore in the running for the AF capabilities. I have some Nikon hardware and lenses and I am still waiting for a new up to date Nikon mirrorless body. I love the Nikon cameras, color science, lenses and the look and feel. Sony has made great efforts to become the head of mirrorless world. But I think I would never go to Sony. Sony 's hardware is changing too fast, becomes obsolete very often. It must be much more difficult to sell old Sony cameras that Nikon ones. Switching to Canon is neither an option.I hope Nikon will release soon a good mirrorless body (as good as Sony for the AF reactivity) at a decent price. Until that, I still use my D810 with very good lenses.

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@filetdelumiere5037 hardly becomes obsolete very often. I’m still using an a7iii almost 2 and a half years later. It only becomes obsolete if you’re in the video sphere. Even still there are still people that shoot 1080p. It really matters who is behind the camera. Not what’s inside

[@waynedennyphoto]

@@filetdelumiere5037 I'm with you. I still think Nikon's files look the best out of the competition (and with a 7 year old camera!). Plus the camera designs feel the most intuitive. For example, just where they place the aperture/shutter dials. For some reason Canon makes one of their dials vertical (why?!), and the Sony dials (at least on the A1) felt like they required a good amount of grip to move. I also prefer the Nikon menu system, but I just couldn't wait any longer for them to get the autofocusing corrected.

[@leerothman7570]

I jumped ship from Sony over to the R5 and some of their top RF glass. I do weddings, events and Real Estate. For me it's been quite a transformation indeed and glad I did it. I know many make light of the "color science" argument but I have to say after my first wedding with it I'm totally hooked on the Canon's output vs. the Sony's. To each their own. There's nothing Sony is offering that would dissuade me from my decision at this point. The eye autofocus is unreal good as is the focus system in general. I don't even miss shots at all which is astounding to me. Exposures are dead on and if the few aren't are easily adjusted with a NO NOISE penalty. The ergo's are still better with Canon as well.

[@bhupinderkumar9106]

That’s perfect summary of real life advantages than paper specs . I shots with Sony for 6 years until I picked up EOS at as my first Canon and I was hooked . People often forget that Canon offers 5 years warranty too. Canon customer care is second to none . Sony need to redesign camera bodies . Current design is outdated and impractical.

[@stuartschaffner9744]

It is SO nice to see two stable camera companies competing this closely in the new world of mirrorless systems. Even with the used camera equipment market, it's tough for ordinary consumers to have to go through a change of vendor or even to a different model line in the same company. Like many others, I spend a lot more money on lenses than camera bodies and I keep the lenses longer. Clearly the new mount gives Canon an advantage, as well as its long history of producing top-quality lenses in quantity. Still, it is heartening to see that some of Sony's newest glass is getting rated near the top in quality. That's reassuring for the future. I personally think that the mirrorless technological revolution is only part-way over. Both Sony and Canon seem to agree with that. It was a huge relief to see Sony coming out with a big improvement on its revolutionary but now aging A9 stacked sensor. There is a clear issue of cost for stacked-sensor technology. Putting a new version into a flagship camera while you drive the cost curve down makes a lot of sense.

Why are we 100% skipping the fact that you can adapt old canon glass using a adapter on the canon but you can do the same thing on the sony ? I understand you prefer some of the new RF glass but thats party based on future wishes remember that sony was not 'pro' because it didn't have long native glass ? Now it has 65 native sony, 100?+ 3th party + all old canon glass. I do agree that some older GM lenses need to be replaced but thats just shows you how far for example their new drive system has become they all need the ones from the 135GM or 400GM. Real question is who will be quicker canon filling the holes in their lineup or sony replacing some older ones with V2's ... anyones guess....

Nah,. Sony lenses are sucks,. Tony tested it,. 30fps won't work,. It will only give you about 11-13 and also not accurate,. Yes you have the best body,. But you don't have great lense to pair to it,. It's still useless,. Camera bodies became outdated after 4-8years while glass holds their value for morethan 30years,. GLASS GLASS GLASS,.

[@scb2scb2]

@@kenjiyamamoto423 So sony has the oldest mount now with the most lenses on its own (about 180) . And it can adapt more lenses including all old canon glass. So how does this GLASS GLASS GLASS work. If you feel sony (or 3th party lenses) are all bad you might want to look at some again, On Tony what can we say i like some of his reviews but he also makes mistakes (that he later fixed) the 30 fps was one of them he just didn't set of the camera correctly maybe watch some pro sports or bird people review the A1 with some of its glass ... Sony now has one of if not the best lens line up since for all the 'gaps' canon still has and has to fall back to adapting lenses the same lenses will work fine on the sony A1 as well.... But to each his own i guess. My point was why exclude the fact that canon can adapt its old lenses while sony can do the same and many switchers over the years have as a way to move slowly from canon to sony.

[@davidlewis5929]

Nice compare. I think if kind of feels wrong to say should you get an R5 or A1 because you either know you need that processing power of the A1 or you get the R5. Nobody looking at either of these cameras should be new to photography, if you are you probably have more money than sense.

[@pebmets]

They are both excellent cameras, but if I was starting out, the R5 with a great RF lens, RF 24-70 F2.8L, for about the same price of an A1 body. I agree, I wouldn't switch brands if you are already a Canon or Sony user.

But does the A1 really shoot 30fps when tracking a moving subject? No it doesnt... Oh, and you have to use G-Master lenses and shoot compressed RAW. The R5 shoots 20FPS tracking using any RF or EF lens adapted with awesome eye focus.

[@frankfeng2701]

200-600G gets you 30fps with AF/AE, among many Sony OEM lenses, if you have the correct AF setting. Check out Mark Galer's channel. R5 with adapted EF lenses might only get you 10-12 shots in focus, not to mention rolling shutter.

[@matthewsequoyah2665]

Exellent comparison video ! ! What a tough choice. I'm in that position where I need to choose which platform to jump onto. The Sony pluses are; The Sony lens, even the GM lens, are cheaper than the Canon R lens so that by the time you add up an equipment list the price point between the Sony system vs Canon becomes a lot narrower. Also Sony makes a 200-600 G lens that makes a lot of sense when you want to move up from the 70-200. Also Sony's 400 flash sync is a fantastic feature too as well as the longer non-limited video recording time. 50 mega pixels vs Canon's 45, and I believe you can switch between shooting full-frame and APS-C which can make your lens more versatile. Having the SAME card slots makes perfect sense. On Canon R5 side: The Canon body is cheaper. Also It seems the Canon R glass is 2nd to none and is better than Sony's GM glass. Their 85mm f/1.2 and 28-70mm f/2.0 look killer. The rotating rear screen could be a nice thing to have on occasion. What to do, what to do ? ?

To help me decide which platform to invest in, I’m comparing the RF glass to the GM glass. Specifically, the auto focusing motor drives.

If your eye is dialled in the Sony's look way more artificial, the Canon's look more filmic.

I think everyone will just say the r5 is cheaper .-. Jared, remember when you didnt include the a7c in budget full frame cameras comparison because of the price difference? Well, same goes here, in fact, comparing to the current 1dx would fit better! Because it is an actual flagship camera like the A1...

[@pratamamp]

Great vid Jared, just wanna let you know that you can adapt A mount lenses on the sony, the same as adapting EF lenses to the canon, but other than that, great stuff! Keep it up!

[@aov_james]

I only hope r5's video performed as it did on stills... + easy on post production... would've been perfect hybrid cam

[@MikeJanesPhotography]

Why does it feel I'm the only one with nonstop issues with the Sony? Hold down the shutter, it does nothing until play is over at times, macro broke first month, the IV files all of a sudden won't read in PS or Capture One when they did before without issue. Dusting off the Nikon this weekend.

[@morvegil]

That tell a you something, r5 tangles with a flagship at 60% of the price

[@cooloox]

Keeping it real, the R5 is the flagship mirrorless camera for Canon, right now.

[@stevemurnan1702]

@@cooloox It's 5 series camera i.e. not pro grade. I've used them all since the 5DII. Canon's flagships have always been the 1 series so expect an R1 to take on the A1 when/if it arrives. The 60% price is factual and reflects where the R5 will sit in the Canon line up.

[@chandhus7643]

Jared ....it's a good video and it's a tossup that who wins this and in my personality r5 wins because of the price point and a lot of features that donot in sony

[@SeanColey]

33:03 R other one, yup! I'm super curious what the R3 is going to be like. I'd much rather cameras don't include a grip but let us choose to add one if we want. Other than that, I'm hopeful it'll be an awesome camera.

[@teraculverwell302]

This is a great video. Thanks Jared

[@MrTacticalinuit]

The tilt screen is great for people who never shoot vertical and low angle, and people that love to not see what's on the screen in the sunlight. (Ex Canon shooter with a7riv going back to Canon)

[@chamian1167]

Still using 70d, Why am I watching this when I can’t afford either one of them.

[@braddahjerry]

Same here, I got a T6 looking to upgrade to a 90D. It’s nice to dream though! Lol

[@mikeodowd100]

You honestly need to find a way to save up for the R6. I considered the 90D. I decided in the end, it wasn't about money, it was about a fantastic mirrorless camera with incredible animal eye detection, vs a good DSLR, the 90D. I am so happy that I spent the extra money. Now. I'll never say I compromised. I'm adding wildlife photography to my hobby. And in this area, the R6 is incredible, the 90D is just ok. So save up, you will not be disappointed with the R6. It's not a compromise camera like the 90D.

[@davidho2977]

I'm shooting on a T5. It will take me a couple of years to get out of debt, then I can think about upgrading.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

First, thank you for the video. Second when you were comparing prices you seem to have said with the grip the cost difference reduces from $2600 to $1700., why? The grips for each camera are about the same. If your assuming adding the higher priced Canon grip with ethernet you still would then add the grip to the Sony as well would you not to keep the battery life the same?

[@yogi-niphotos1106]

He added the Canon grip to equal the Sony's ethernet connectivity, not for battery life. Besides, the Sony grip costs $320, not $999!

[@tuca3537]

there are definitely moments were having a rotating screen is extremely helpful. But most of all I just like having the ability to close off the screen so that it isn’t exposed when in a bag. The best screen however is on the Panasonic S1H which rotates and does tilt.

[@mreposa31]

nice job, like the comparison

[@jeffhampton6972]

This is really helpful, and I love use of the konami code!

[@timdaugherty7612]

It's safe to say both Canon and Sony are in positions where there would be NO compelling reason to switch ecosystems if you're already in one. And since neither model is going to be someones introductory camera...well...

[@RiceCubeTech]

That’s my thing. If you’re already invested in a few grand to either system, it makes no logical sense to switch. Just don’t get all the flip flopping. If you had an original R or an original a7iii and have the native glass, both have compelling upgrades on the mid, high, and pro end. EOS r has r5, r6, c70 Sony has riii/riv, a7siii, a9ii, a1 and hopefully a7iv soon.

[@timdaugherty7612]

@@RiceCubeTech I think 95% of the flip flopping is KZbinrs chasing likes and click baits. Virtually every camera KZbinr on here has a dozen videos about "switching" and it's all nonsense.
