Sony a7R V vs Canon R5 Camera Comparison - Which is Better?

[@MidnughtMerauders]

The Sony didn’t have as much grain in the iso test but it seemed to be smoothing out the noise and didn’t look sharp because of it

[@АндрейПоручаев]

У sony плохой jpeg, тут понятно, но такие тесты надо было однозначно проводить с RAW файлом, очень странное сравнение.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Yes, that did seem to be the case. Thanks for your comment!

[@АндрейПоручаев]

@@TheSlantedLens мне так не кажется, тут наверное во всех тестах был использован jpeg фаил у Sony... Я хорошо знаю модель A7R IV и знаю как там выглядит jpeg и RAW и сам лично сравнивал Canon R5 (друга) и Sony 7R IV и при прочих равных у sony гораздо больше деталей и мелких текстур, если использовать хорошие объективы.

[@sandb1867]

I doubt the RAW conversion of the Sony was actually set to neutral for smoothing/sharper setting.

[@Elemino]

Exactly how I felt. I prefer the grain over the smoothing I was seeing. At least the Canon was still sharp.

[@davidromano2421]

That was pretty shocked at the color difference between the two cameras. Sony much warmer. I just bought the Sony and it hasn't arrived yet but I'm upgrading from the A7rII, so I'm looking forward to being blown away by the A7rv

[@Stego86]

I don't understand how you can say that high ISO files are worse on Canon when they're WAY sharper, while Sony's files look badly processed in camera...

[@TheSlantedLens]

The Canon has much more pronounced noise.

[@Stego86]

@@TheSlantedLens Canon has a sharper image, with sharper noise, that you can reduce in post without affecting quality, meanwhile Sony is mushy and not sharp at all, and you can't fix any of that in post...

I switched from Canon to Sony because of the better low light and ISO values. But when I look at the sharper photos from the R5, I really wonder if I should switch back to Canon. If I didn't have the expensive Sony lenses, I would even do that. Sorry Sony.....you can do that better!!

[@LeaMotion]

Been a Canon user for more than 8 years, last year I decided to go with the Sony A7SIII, its a great camera, but my main issue was the colors! Canon colors are hard to match and on th Sony it does not look as good unless you shoot Slog 3 and apply LUT to match but lots of extra work, also the menu navigation is not as good as the Canon. Decided to sell it after 1 year of using it, I own the R5 now and never been so happy with a Camera! Canon for life! 😀

Great to hear about your journey trying out both cameras. For some reason I am not loving the Canon color lately. It used to be my favorite.

A7R5 is a great camera, can't deny it, but it's set to work with this type of use out of the box, while canon will not work so well without setting af for the use you plan to do. It's set universal, and when set properly this tree test would be 100% hit, but when set opposite, you will struggle to have any good results.

[@VolkswagenNut1969]

Thank you for the interesting comparisons….I’ve been a Sony shooter for years, but in your ISO comparison the Canon images were much, much more pleasant IMHO. Nicer, cleaner colors, better detail and smoother transitions between light and dark. The Sony images were dark and harsh by comparison with ugly colors. I love many things about the Sony cameras but the image files have always been on the dark side for me, and the colors have always needed lots of post processing. I’ve thought about moving back to Canon for those reasons and honestly this comparison makes me want to even more. ;)

[@TheSlantedLens]

I agree that the Sony is generally a little darker and the color is not as pleasing. I find the post processing works pretty well. Canon does tend to be more yellowish, so if you don't like that look than other brands might work better. Sony is cooler, Panasonic and Fujifilm have nice rich colors. And Nikon has great color as well!

[@VolkswagenNut1969]

@@TheSlantedLens Thank you for that, agreed! 😉 Never tried Panasonic, but always loved Fujifilm colors right out of the camera. If they had ever offered a full frame camera I probably would have been a Fujifilm fanboy hands down. 😊

Wow surprised at your findings on the R5 for focus! I feel like I can’t even MAKE it miss. So much so that I look at my client most of the time and don’t look I’m the viewfinder or screen when I’m in studio. R5 just never misses the eye. I also shoot A7IV which is very good but still not Canon good.

[@michalsierzchula]

When you go to AF settings and set it to hunt for focus anytime it can't see the subject, it will fail this test most of the time ;)

[@EsotericNY]

Yeah - I switched from Nikon to Canon (after 20 years) for better focus and haven't looked back. Wonder what Michel's focus mode was on, e.g, Person vs Animal vs off. Capture One and DxO's PL handle color space for Canons much better than LR, as well. In fact, I rarely use LR anymore.

[@mattstolzman]

And I'm still using single point.

[@TheSlantedLens]

The problem causing the Canon to miss was the walking behind the tree. And a lot of cameras miss at that point. This new Sony technology is changing that.

[@Sergei__v]

@@TheSlantedLens AF scenarios in Canon R5/R6 have a setting for that. Subjects entering the frame or holding on to the same subject even if its obscured by an object. Try moving the slides in AF Scenario 2 or 3.

[@adhi_atma]

WEIRD. if canon AF fail many times why dont you show us the pictures when it fails. instead you showed to us when its succees ?. again in hi iso test it seems you forgot to make sure both of cameras using same comparable high iso noise reduction settings. canon looks noisier but give sharper & better detail while sony gives cleaner although with less detail.

[@dsp2go]

Yeah I felt like in the ISO test, the Canon looks noticabely better in terms of the details and colors. Yes it has more noise, but it seems like a better image overall. Also, the color is way better in the Canon too... I also felt that in Sony A7RV's color at 5:26 looks really unnatural, as in it's quite red. (I may be more used to iPhone like neutral color tone).

[@TheSlantedLens]

Agreed. The Canon had more noise, the Sony had more banding. Color is a personal choice. Good things to consider!

[@stefanbecker9526]

Frames per second with an electronic shutter are completely irrelevant because both cameras don't have a stacked sensor. That means all action type of photos will be horribly warped if you use an electronic shutter. That means you cannot really use it for action. It's a completely useless irrelevant number.

[@EsotericNY]

...and image bit depth is lower. Electronic 1st curtain (at least on the Canon) is the "happy medium" to preserve the highest image bit depth possible and a fairly decent 12 fps.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@dragSD666]

not irrelevant since the sensor readout on the canon r5 its like 8 or 10 times faster than the sony a7rv.. so you can actually use eletronic shutter in the r5 which is not the same situation on the sony a7rv

[@patrick.munich]

@@dragSD666 Yeah, I had never any problems with electronic shutter and sports with the R5. The only problem with the electronic shutter are flickering LED Lights. You need to have a really really fast moving ball (Baseball, Golf, Tennis) to see any "warping" and even then it is minimal.

[@ShipLeague]

I went with the A7R5 just because of the autofocus but honestly the Canon images look much better to me. Even in the high ISO with the grain, it still looked like a better image and Canon was definitely sharper. Only thing I wish I knew the whole time was what the models actual skin tone was. Maybe you can tell us which one was closer to her skin tone? The Sony looked very magenta.

[@denis5850]

I think the same, I'm thinking about buying the a7rv but after watching this video I think the Canon is a great option. Contrary to what the author of the video says, in most images I see more sharpness in the Canon as in the ISO test, at low ISOs I still see the Canon better in this review even though the author says otherwise. I'm going to rethink the team change.

[@rovleculina8237]

Just wow, look at that stuff at 9:15 and 9:22 Ladies and gentleman, this is a perfect example why it's not all about pixels, both cameras suck at high ISO, terrible dynamic range, awful color degradation, destructive banding and artefacts all over the place, Sony looks mushy with no detail retention, banding all over her face, just terrible image quality from both sensors. And this is just at ISO 6400, embarrassing for both companies. For some reason, when talking about image quality, everybody means just pixels but forgets to take into account dynamic range throughout high ISO range, color depth throughout high ISO range, detail retention, etc. Sensor performance measured at base ISO looks great but that's just not realistic and doesn't translate into real world usage. This is why I sold my R5, as a wildlife photographer, I more often than not have to shoot with very high ISO settings, and I was quite disappointed with it's low light performance. This is why I still appreciate lower MP sensors for low light photography.

[@amhtxc2960]

Spot on comment. Nowdays lower MP does not correlate with better high-ISO performance (or the other way around) any more, but these cameras suck big time in this department. I would take better ISO performance and dynamic range over millions of frames per second and super-sticky autofocus any day.

Excellent comparison! Thank you! I switched from Canon to Sony a few years ago and am heavily invested in Sony mount lenses, so I have no interest in switching again or supplementing my Sony gear with Canon gear. The two brands are great and they push each other to get better and better. Clearly the A7rV has the upper hand now between these two except if you need the higher frame rate. I'm debating on picking up the A7rV, as I have come to prefer the rangefinder style bodies, and also really like the no-blackout viewfinders like in the A9 and A1 cameras. So debating whether to wait to see if 2023 brings me a body that clicks those boxes for me.

I could hardly listen to this video while watching the pics. The most important thing to me is image quality. Especially on people of color. It will mean you have to color correct every person with the Sony. The skin tones from the Sony disqualify it for me. The correction for one part changes the entire look of the photo. Humans are extremely triggered when skin tones are off. It’s not just a preference but subliminal reaction to your photos if the skin tones are off.

[@TheSlantedLens]

We try to show the color as it comes out of the camera so people can judge it by how they will like it and if they can color correct it.

Interesting review. My Canon R5 renders skin tones that are warmer (less green, more red, then the Sony A7r4, the reverse of this comparison. I haven't compared the images to an A7R5. I'm glad Sony has improved the autofocus from the A7r4 as the R5 autofocus was more accurate and stickier than the Sony r4, for me. I haven't heard of many complaints on the R5's focus capability before. I wonder if there are camera to camera sample differences within a given manufacturer? Thanks for the comparison.

[@donaldmcvee9371]

Comparisons of cameras that are used with default settings are often invalid. The Canon R5 has adjustments in the menu to change the "stickiness" of the autofocus when shooting moving subjects. If you don't know this or don't make the correct adjustments in the menu you can get results like you got. It surprises me that you use a scenario to test autofocus that no other camera has passed. As to the noise test, it was pretty obvious to me that the Sony in camera noise suppression was blurring the image. Looking at the model's forehead in those close ups made it pretty obvious. Based on those two observations I would consider your evaluation to be invalid.

Sony imaging edge does NOT give you any kind of good raw demosaicing for the A7RV raws right now. They only do a quick fix for every new camera, and the quality will be a bit better in a couple months. However it will never reach the quality that Capture One gets out of the Sony Raws. Capture One already supports the A7RV raws, and you could have used the free express version to develop your raws. That you didn't do that means that your whole "image quality" segment does not show anything close to the real quality of the A7RV files, which are a huge step up over the A7RIV, and miles ahead of the mushy, noise reduction baked into raws, stuff you get from a Canon R5.

It's also a good camera, and I was mostly reacting to some other comments here (that still regurgitate the old "color science" myths, as if it was 2014). I respect that you guys reply to comments here so fast. Check it out yourself. Use the free express version of Capture One and compare the demosaiced files. Imaging edge is miles behind at this time.

The file of the a7rv are so bad compared of the canon

[@nikolai_art]

@@denis5850 in reality, the files of the A7RV are much better. I know it’s mostly Canon bros who watch this channel, but that’s an American/ UK thing mostly. The rest of the world is not on that Canikon DSLR trip you guys are still on, like it was 2012. In blind Test a majority of people prefers Sony colors over Canon. „Color science“ is just something that Canon marketing in the US desperately clings to.

Когда досмотрел до того момента, когда страшное замыливание шумов у Сони (начиная с 1600) преподносится как преимущество перед Кэнон, то понял - обзор не честный, Сони здесь явно пиарят.

Sony is notorious for bad skin tone. A7R5 is no different.

Hi, I have a question, can anyone help? I want Sony a7R V but I want len that have 67mm, is it possible? Because I used Xiaomi 67mm... and stupid of me, I bought about 60 different types of Lens that is 67mm, turned out, 95% of them don't work with Xiaomi Camera at all. Only a few of CLP or CPL do works... the rest of Lens such as UV or Prims or IR Lens don't works at all. I'm looking to shooting some video for my DIY Project, so I don't need any fancy ones up to 77mm or to 105mm... and I think 67mm is enough for me. But I don't know how to get one. I'm 101% NEW TO CAMERA! I was going for EOS-R5 but my brother said if I focus on Video, I should get Sony a7R V instead because it has better AI focus when shooting any fast moving objects. I found this Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM (SEL35F14GM) on Amazon. Not sure if the mount fit, can anyone tell?

[@TheSlantedLens]

If you are wanting to do video mostly I would not choose the Sony a7R V. You might be happier with the Canor R6 or the Sony a7 IV.

[@effesettanta3502]

First of all: science of color: Canon so much better.

Canon to me has a more natural tone compared to sony. I have never used sony and i don't know if i should take the risk

[@TheSlantedLens]

You could rent one to test it out if you are interested in trying it.

[@philindeblanc]

The body feel is major, and I dislike the sony, even adding a custom grip I still dont like it. I hold the canon and using it, it just feels comfortable and very much ergonomic in my large hands. Also, the elctronics of Sony is hit miss, it sometimes reads the cards, sometimes not, the camera hangs up when using adapted lenses, its a mess to juggle for any action work, while the Canon hits the shots without a hiccup. Thats my real world experience.I DO like the Sony large files, but, I regret taking the Sony when I finish a shoot and kick myself for not taking the Canon. When I take the Canon, all is done well, and happpy I used it with no regrets on the files. I also notice that the Canon sensors allow for highlight recovery, while Sony is more recovery in the dark areas.Maybe why in the test you got those results.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks for sharing your experience with the cameras.

[@CristoforoBonissone]

It's a shame that there is no thorough examination of the RAW files that are generated by these two sensors, as on DPReview.

Were you using silent shutter for the sensitivity tests? It looks that way and that'll negatively affect IQ.

[@dukeofurl999]

Around 1:30 in this, tech talk walked on my ears. Could you point to some explanations for the points? TY

[@TheSlantedLens]

The larger the bit depth the more information the video carries. 10 bit is more information than 8 bit. 4.2.2 gives more information than 4.2.0. Hope that helps a bit.

[@bobmorr2892]

You and everyone else has gone spec crazy. All that matters to me is the final image and the amount of time I have to spend post processing, and in that case the Canon always wins. Sorry Sony sharper and faster to me is not better.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks for sharing your point of view!

[@michalsierzchula]

You forgot to mention that sony gets 10fps only in lossy compressed raw, while up to 6 in loseless. Also it has 1/10 readout speed when on ES, while R5 has usable 1/60. Canon uses CF express that can go 1.7GB/s, when using single card write, and lossless compressed, you can shoot 12fps continuously to fill the card, and probably 20fps too. I can't make R5 miss when subjects turn around or run behind something for a moment, but I have set the AF to be aware of sport scenario. Set it different way or universal, and it will start to look for other objects to focus on, set it inproperly, and it will almost never pass your test. Lab tests show that R5 has better DR than any sony camera released prior A7R5, and as it uses the same sensor as A7R4, I think it still be the case. ISO - true, R5 has some noise going on, but at least it doesn't denoise RAW like sony does, look at your mooshy photos. I preffer to DxO Pure RAW 2 files from R5, than sharpen lost data from what you showed to us. Anyway, A7R5 is a great camera, has some downsides, ha some strenghts, it's a very good body if someone is loaded in E lenses. I would definietely enjoy using it and for sure produce somengreat results with one. Ending the comment, O think this comparison it worthless, it looks to be made just to say that sony is better, it doesn't show all the details that would tell the otherwise. You ommit everything that don't fit the narrative and show the results the way you want it to be seen, like avoiding showing noise it detail (because details were gone on sony).

[@Yupthereitism]

The canon is outdated and not as good. Accept it

[@michalsierzchula]

@@Yupthereitism it is older, but still a better option in general use if expensive RF lenses are not a problem. Problem with youtube comparisons is that they are biased depending on who does them.

[@chriskosti1806]

The old R5 is very very near at Sonys new "Flagship". Wait for the R5 Mark II. It will lead again for years. Never would switch to Sony (but buy it as 2nd System)

[@TheSlantedLens]

Yeah, that will be one to look forward to, the R5 Mark II.

[@alsoknownasMaSTeR]

It's weird that most reviewers claim that Canon's AF is far superior and your test shows the opposite. I think you did not set the camera properly. I wish you had some some low light AF test as it's pretty important for me. I'm buying one of these 2 and retiring my 5dMIII. I find this a pretty tough decision

[@TheSlantedLens]

It is a hard decision. Your lens collection is something to consider. Thanks for your comment!

Is sony implementing this AI autofocus in older models like the A7iv and A7siii or is it a hardware feature?

[@TheSlantedLens]

I asked that question about the A1 and the answer was that it is hardware so can't be updated with a firm wear update.

Interesting comparison. I am a Canon shooter looking at adding a Sony body with the Simga adapter for my EF lenses.

[@TheSlantedLens]

[@jobinsarts1791]

In higher ISO shots, the canon still has details but Sony images looks washed out like a digitally zoomed picture on a phone camera. So later while editing you have more room to play with the canon image. Reduce 😊light and color noise and the picture will look good with a bit sharpness added.
