Mirrorless vs DSLR - Sony A7 IV vs Canon 5D mkIV

Insightful

Canon just looks better. It's almost nostalgic, it's something we like about photos. Cinematic and deep. Sharpness is most definitely secondary. Art first.

I think the DSLR photos are better

prefer mark 4

I love the way your model looks in Sony camera.
It brings details to the light, better than canon. But I do have a question: which one is closer to reality?

Hiciste las fotos en raw o jpg???

I have the canon 5d mark iv and the sigma 24-70mm lens and it’s so heavy for wedding and christening photography that my arms hurt. I’m thinking of purchasing the Sony a7iii
Is there a zoom lens that is light to buy ? Because weddings and baptism need a zoom lens.

I know I am splitting hairs here but I prefer the unedited colours of the Canon in your examples, the Sony looks just a tad cold and a little harsh to me, great video again, thank you

Canon better color for me.

The 5Dm4 still holds up though for a 7 year old camera! 😮

I think that although it cannot be denied that mirrorless cameras are more technologically advanced and offer an array of features that we won't ever see in DSLRs as they've been officially abandoned by camera manufacturers, good pictures can be taken in any system, any camera type (rangefinder, mirrorless, DLSRs, rearview) and any brand. Case and point your side-by-side comparison showed that your proficiency using the tool got you to the same end result. It is in a lot of ways a case of convenience, technology makes it easier to get there but sometimes the discourse you hear from brands etc, especially when there's a new camera coming almost makes you think that there's only way to get to that desired outcome. New cameras and technology don't make existing ones worse. I appreciate that this was not any part of your message in this video I just wanted to share it. Lovely work as always, you've been one of my greatest inspirations when it comes to portrait photography, all the love from Scotland!

There are 2 things i prefer on mirrorless designs big time.

1. weight. i know myself. i wont take a big 2kg dslr combo and lenses with me every time. its just not convenient at all.
2. i wear glasses. dslr viewfinders with glasses are anightmare. basicly your vision is ALLWAYS smeary because your glasses are dirty.

But something like a lightweight mirrorless, sony a6xxx series is still able to produce great pictures and i can bring it with me everywhere i go. i just need to think less, and prepare and plan less because there is no excuse to not have my camera with me


oh and im kinda amused right now because i just saw your name here and was like... wait a moment... i still have a lot of really old photoshop curves and actions from you, i know that name from somewhere xD

Cannon 5D Mark iv or Cannon Eos R ?

Hi @Julia Trotti just got a 5Div. What lenses do you use or recommend for portrait? I really like the pictures you took with it! Thank you for your great content!

You should train Your shoulders in gym sometimes, if You don't like gym cycling could be not bad as well

Nikon D780 vs Nikon z6ii which is better than buying wedding shoot in villages

On the Canon she looks like 20 years old, and on Sony she looks like 30.
The high sharpness is not a good point for shoot portraits of people.

They're both close but I really prefer the natural film look of the Canon.

Thank you. What can be seen in Sony's small screen? In the photo from Sony, there are slight glare on the skin. The price is high.

Отличное видео, спасибо!
Не знаю, может быть, это просто взгляд человека, снимающего на DSLR 24 года, но мне кажется, что у беззеркальных камер картинка немного "синтетическая" (я уже не говорю о самом процессе съёмки, он на 100% синтетический, электронный видоискатель - это кошмар)).
Но прогресс не стоит на месте, совсем скоро изобретут что-то, что изменит мой взгляд на это)
В любом случае, мы снимаем для людей, которым важна конечная картинка, а 98% населения планеты никогда не отличит фотографию, снятую на Canon, от фотографии, снятой на Sony, Leica, Fuji и так далее))) Самое главное, чтобы вам было удобно!)
Вам успехов и самых удобных камер, чтобы было ещё больше прекрасных снимков и осанка оставалась идеальной!)

Actually Pentax dslrs have had ibis since 2008.

Tell me you wish you had a Sony SLT camera, but without telling me you wish you had a Sony SLT camera: the video.

It's interesting, Sony used to have superior AF and Canon used to have superior color science. Now Canon mirrorless matched or surpassed Sony in AF, OTOH Sony matched or surpassed Canon in color science. The differences between the two camera lines have become smaller and smaller

It's always about the gear. lol

the colors of 5mark4 are amazing and even looks better than the Sony even after editing

The 5D Mark IV is also a camera released back in 2016... to see it coming so close with the side by side images is amazing.

Although I have an A7S3, and a A7R3, I just recently bought a used 5Dmk4. Mainly because you can get one super cheap today, and you can pick up used L lenses super cheap because everybody is upgrading to mirror less. I’m not switching to DSLRs, I’m just adding to my collection. I always wanted a 5Dmk4, but could never afford one, now I can, and it is still a fantastic camera. Plus the colors out of the Canon are way better than the Sony straight out of the camera. I’m not a pro, and I don’t like to edit photos, so with the Canon, I can just shoot and post with very little, if any processing. Now if I was a Pro like you, I would probably go full mirror less for all the reasons you mentioned. But if you are an amateur, and can’t afford the latest and the greatest, you can get a used pro camera setup, and save a bunch of money by buying an old 5Dmk4. There are a ton of them out there that are pretty much in mint condition, because most of them where not purchased originally by pros. I got mine a couple of weeks ago for $800, which is a steal if you ask me.

Canon is more costly than sony

Sony a7iv is a clear winner because price wise and features wise.

compliments to the model! she gave a million billion poses in great timing //clap clap//

so many natural amateur shooters posing as pros.

Does Sony make any laser or inject printers? No
Does Sony make any High resolution Monitors (NOT TVs)? No
Does Sony make any Document Centres (Photocopier + Fax + Scanners), No
Does Sony make any high precision scanners? No
Does Sony make any FILM? No
So where is Sony's COLOR SCIENCE? Almost non-existent.

I still love the photos that come out of Dslr like canon 5d iv. Even if the sony technology has come a long way i think the picture quality still doesn’t match the canon 5d mark iv. The photos from canon has the 3d look and has more film aesthetic to it. And last but not least was looking into a optical view finder, it looks like looking through the soul of the subject, compare to looking into a tiny tv screen.

5D mark IV has better color

I love the comparison. When it comes down to it, I have big hands and 5d just fits better. I don’t know if it’s just me but every time the sleeves feel off the models shoulder I had a hard time concentrating on why one camera was better than the other.

When I have to use a fixed screen camera I just accept my clothes will get dirty from lying down 😅
I also will use random things to stand on if I need a high angle - will probably break my neck one day.

Nope, Canon all the way.

mirrorless are great but...
"during a wedding, when i'm getting photos on the dance floor it's usually extremely dark with optical viewfinder......"
Yes, but my old canon 7Dii is able to focus in totally dark with flash af beam. My sony a7riii fails. The sony try to focus using his ridiculous red led and 1/3 shots are out of focus. It's frustrating.
I also try with the godox x1s trigger that have an af assist similar to the reflex flashes but it doesn't make much difference :(

That about sums it up. You a pro Julia. Hey back at ya 😊

To me, the Sony unedited shots looked warmer than the Canon.

Hey Julia love it! 2 questions! 1. What camera are you using to film the behind the scenes? 2. I would like to see some sharper shots with a higher aperture like f/5.6 I noticed they were all 1.4 having such a shallow depth of field could cause some of that blur you were talking about. Just curious why you only chose to shoot so open! Other than that, I love your portraits :)

Sony Nice

5D Mark IV................winner!!!!!!

Thank you

Would love to see a video of a shooting comparison using only LCD screen and only viewfinder!

Very informative comparison.. I myself was gifted with a 5d mark 4 a few days ago and everytime I watch the review of this camera they always compare it to some new mirrorless camera.. which proves to the point that although this camera came out 2016 it is still a good camera.. I also have a sony a6100 and it is so easy to use because of the eyes autofocus and the flip up screen.. but many times I grab my canon and still use it.and I enjoyed using both sony and canon and use them both and maximize their functions..

The model looks like she's a little uncomfortable , but great photography .
