- Canon 6D Mark II VS Canon 5D Mark III Which To Buy | The ULTIMATE BATTLE.
A lot of people have been asking which camera should they buy. Should they get the older 5D Mark III over the NEW Canon 6D Mark II. I think I have a clear cut answer for this but this video takes a look at the specs and breaks it down from there.

This so perfectly answered the questions I had regarding these two. You literally validated every point in question. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much for this video. It was super helpful for exactly what I needed.
Great video! It answered all the questions I had between these 2 cameras. Thank you, well done!
Just what i needed to see. Perfect video. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this info. Helpful, for sure
Always helpful! Thank you!
thank you dude Jared, ur information is helpful
Great content and review! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Jared, this and the 6D MkII Real World review have been a big help while looking to upgrade my trusty EOS 60D and go full frame. Most of my Canon / Canon fit glass is full frame spec as I've always kept this a possibility when buying lenses. From a crop sensor to full sensor upgrade perspective, the controls and relative focus area of the 6D MkII are pretty much what I'm used to working with anyway.
The Raw files have also been useful, keep up the good work.
One of the most useful features for me going from an entry level DLSR to a 5D3 were the custom controls. I wish he would had included that discussion.
Your videos help a ton, ty!
You always keep it real 👌🏾
Great video dude!
It is somewhat laughable that an "older" tech camera isn't worthy of consideration "into the future". Let's see. Pick up any magazine from 5 years ago. I've got prints on my wall 36 x 24 shot with an XTI...hello? It is always about the image, not some tech specs. We have 2 images 3'x4' in the living room...shot with........a Canon A-10 point and shoot 7 mpxl. Everyone keeps chasing the technology. Back when the ID Mk IV hit the scene it was $5,000.00! Every Canon pro on the planet used that camera with stellar imagery from baseball to football to soccer to weddings to portraits...published worldwide. Now it is old tech....and supposedly not worthy. It is the CHEF not the PANS!
Dude, chill. That's exactly what he said.
Super informative, Jared..... I wasn't even considering a 6D mkII, but after seeing this, it's definitely in the game..... I love my Canons, and will be using it more for video - same boat as most, the 5D mkIV is perfect, but too rich for my blood. I was between a 5D mkIII and a 1Dx.... Your content has been very helpful in my search!
Excellent work
Awesome video! But you have to remember that for video you can install Magic Lantern in the 5D Mark III, and with that you can shoot RAW and 4K (in 21:9). So, for video I would go with the 5D Mark III all day
Yay camera reviews are back!!! More real world reviews too please of anything 😬😬😬
we're working on those. They take some time but we're getting there. Also have to wait for some new cameras.
Big help Jared, thanks!
Hey Jared, Wanted to say thank you for this video and your many others that have helped me build my kit in an economic and informed way. I was toying with the 5d series bodies for a long time but settled on an amazing deal for a 6dii this past month. Wishing you the best!
i know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Ephraim Dominic Instablaster ;)
@Gibson Colton Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Gibson Colton it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Ephraim Dominic Glad I could help :)
Fun video, love the sarcasm
Great comparison. I was wondering what the best SD card would be to shoot video, best buffer for photography, etc? I currently only use CF cards and if I switch to the 6d I want to be prepared. Thanks!!
Thanks for the comparison, Jared. After years away from SLR photography, I'm here because I wanted to see someone's answer to this specific question because one of these bodies may become my purchase. It's fascinating to see that so many things haven't changed at all since the 70s and 80s (including the hair, lol?), as camera recommendations are still made based on "newer is better" and comparisons of a list of features and numbers. It's just like when I was buying my first Canon film gear in the early 80s. I'd love to see an honest comparison of image quality and dynamic range between these two bodies. I appreciate that there are fundamental differences in features, especially autofocus and video. But even I, the last guy in North America to shoot film regularly, know that pixel count isn't a tell-all measure of sensor superiority, and that a certain newer sensor isn't necessarily better than a particular older one. I've read that the 6D II has shadow or dynamic range issues at low ISO. So is the 5D III better in this respect? Does the 5D III exhibit lower noise? At what ISOs? Bottom line, what's the nitty-gritty answer about the photos (and to a lesser extent, the videos) these bodies will produce, under all conditions of light?
Love your content! Keep it up!
Enjoyed the video. I'm wanting to upgrade to a full frame censor so this video applied to me. I think either will capture great pictures. It's not always the equipment that makes pictures great.
wait this was so helpful
Canon should pay you because I'm going straight to buy the 6d :D
I'm new to this channel. I love it! I can't believe it took me so long to find it haha. You're so knowledgeable, and I've learned so much in a few weeks time. I appreciate your work!
Lincoln Riddle welcome!!!
B. Christine thanks!
I like 6d mark II and going to buy it. Thank for your review
Thank's for the help
Amazing video.
Thank you!
Very helpful. I need to upgrade for professional photos but I also make sit down vlogs. The main issue with getting the 6D mark ii is the lack of microphone port! That is so important!
The 6D Mark II does indeed have an external microphone jack. What it _doesn't_ have is a headphone jack which is for monitoring audio. I don't think most (if not any) other DSLR's have that so it's a mute point. If one wanted to monitor the audio they were getting, it would make more sense to simply get a fancy audio recorder setup like the Zoom H5. If all you want to do is record audio with an external RØDE Microphone, this camera will let you do that just like any other good DSLR will. :)
Thanks for the video. Does the 6d2 have clean HDMI output?
Still using my 5D 2 it still takes great pics as long as I do my job, I'm not a professional so it works for me.
Picking up my first full frame 6D MKII tomorrow after having a 70D. Can’t wait to see what she goes like 😜👍
Thanks for great review/comparison JP 👌
in the exact same boat. own a 70D for a couple years now and looking for 6D MKII now. any regrets?? thanks!!
It looks like it is been almost a year, I'm about to do the same from my 70D. Any thoughts on how it went?
SnarfBeats why are you considering the 6dii?
Hey Jared,
Great name! I am looking at either the Nikon D850 or the Sony A7RII. Can you do a compare video of them? thanks
That exactly was my dilemma in the summer and I chose 5diii - two memory card slots was a must to me.
how are you able to fuck up 64 GIGs to such level it is inconvenient to you?
jesus, you can but a 400gb for like $120
@@hrabia the point is to be able to back up your photos, so if one card fails you still have back up.
@@madmanjoe that I understand, but the other argument was stupid
@@blackie75 And its gonna break after 1 week...
bello! I just discoverd your Chanel and really like it. I would like to ask you something. I have been working shooting weddings dir two seassons with my 6D mark i and I love it. now I see I need another body because I want to start working with no zoom lens (35mm / 85mm) and because I need a back up if something happens to my camera in the middle if a wedding! Un this casa, what would hoy recommend? going with another 6D mark i because I already know it and love working with it, going yo next step to 6D mark ii or give a chance to the 5D mark III?????? by the way we do video too, but always try to use our cameras only for one thing, not the same camera for both photo and video. Thanks for your help!
As of December’23, the 6Dii is about 2x the price of the 5Diii on the refurb sites I checked. 5Diii may have lost this comparison but it’s currently a terrific and great-value entry into the FF world.
Brilliant !!!
Jared I own the MKIII and now want a second body for back up and have a second lens/body comby handy. So based on this review, you would recommend the 6D? Thanks, Dave
Thanks mate, I shoot a particular style of landscape with the D5M3 but want something lighter and with a swivel screen...
i bought 6d mark ii, i got to say damn... I do a nighttime shooting more than daytime, and this shines way better than 5d mark ii and 5d mark III !!
What lens do u have? :D
what about colors of RAW images? Is it at least as good as from 5D II? Thanks
When the 6D came out it also got a lot of bad reviews, and to this day you can't buy anything better for the price.
@@DeyvsonMoutinhoCaliman I'm trying to get one, do you think I should get the 6D or the 5D iii?
@@adetayoadegoke I would get the 6D. The 5DMkIII cost more than double, it's in a completely different league, while you won't notice that much of a difference in image quality, if you notice at all. The 5DMkIII has more focus points, but unless you are shooting birds in flight instead of people, this won't make much of a difference.
You missed the most important review: Image quality
In this point, 5d3 is better
6d mark ii 😎💥
They're basically the same IQ, except the 6D Mk2 has 4 more MP and has less noise ISO 6400+. Not sure how the dynamic ranges compare though.
5d mark3 is better. But they're different
Where are you from originally Sammy, may I ask? Your surname sounds rather important to me
get a million subs already!!! youre dope!
many thanks
Midway through 2021, I think there’s some really good potential for the 5D iii. I keep finding them used for as low as $700. Super easy choice for me.
i bought the 5D mark iii as i mostly do photography, however lately i have been getting more video projects,
and would love to have the continuous auto focus feature for video.
do you think it would be a wise decision if i sell the 5D mk iii & buy the 6D mk ii instead?
Great comparison, I had this problem awhile back when 6D mark II was new and wanted to upgrade from my 5D mark II. But it ended up with spending more money for the 5D mark IV. That focus system on the 6D mark II really broke that camera for me.
What was the problem with the focus system?
Will take my 6d mark 1 for stills I recently got new at an estate sale for 23.00 bucks. 😎👍
MrCochise71 Tchaikovsky to and
Thank you for clearing it up. 6d mark ii it is 😃👍🏼
Dude I bought the 6d mark 2 and seeing a 5d3 for sale for 800 bucks used so I thought maybe I should get it as an upgrade but after watching your comparison video you helped me make up my mind and simply save my 800 bucks and put it towards a canon 70-200 is 3 instead , thanks for letting me see the real picture why I shouldn't get that 5d mark 3.
I'll keep my 6D mark 1 for a few more years and get some more glass.
Thank you for this comparison. My original 6D died during a recent fashion show with an err 20 code. The Mark II looks like a great replacement even though we will probably still get the other repaired as a backup cam.
Raymond Isbill what happened with 20 error?
Spot on!!!!!!!
I was wondering if you were going to do a real world review of the tamron 18-400mm
What camera are you using while standing at the desk to record yourself and what lens? Thanks in advance.
I shoot real estate and have been using a Canon T6i with good results. However, in order to overcome some issues in tighter spaces, I'm looking to acquire a full-frame camera and will definitely stay with Canon. That said, I've watched this video TWICE just to fully understand your thinking and contrast it to my desired to have a camera with 2 memory cards. I haven't yet lost any pictures as a result of a failure, but I'm not looking to stretch my luck. I'm also considering changing/adding different genres to my business and would like that added bit of security without breaking the bank. I'd be happy to consider any insights you might have beyond the info in this video.
The 5dm3 has a joystick which the 6dm2 doesnt but the 6dm2 does have a touch screen ... which I've found is quicker than moving a joystick around. Though as mentioned the AF points in the 5dm3 are much better situated anyway. Glad to see more review vids, man!
Hi Jared , out of your experience which is the best getting clear photos (aviation photography)?? /Thanks!
Stelios - I don't know much about aviation photography, but I might check out the Sony line with in-body image stabilization. I'm guessing you'll be shooting really telephoto with a lot of vibration going on - this means you'd probably need fast glass with some advanced image stabilization in it, so you don't get shake when you're at 400mm or whatever you need for your photos. If you go Canon - I don't think it will matter much between these two - you'll just probably want something with the latest IS system and a fast aperture.
6D MKII wins, but I keep 5D classic and A7 ^^
This video compares specifications, which we can do ourselves. It would have been great for you to do some side by side shoots with them both, to see how they fare in the real world.
Thanks anyway
welcome to you tube , haha, I say this alot.
Hey Jared is there any chance you can do a real world review of the Sony 100mm-400mm GM?
Great video btw. I would pick the 5D Mk3 based on the dual card slots alone.
More Focus points, dual card slots and the joysticks. I don’t care about the spec, I would take the 5d mark iii over the 6d mark ii any days of the week.
Bought a 70D on release, found it has a dead pixel on the sensor recently. This video convinced me to upgrade to a 6D MarkII.
Costs peanuts to have the sensor remapped - all gone the dead pixel. Most sensors have plenty of dead pixels from new.
This video was helpful. After I get my Canon 80D I would like to invest in there 90D. I've always wanted a full frame camera and my art lenses will work better (effects will be more pronounced) on this camera and they are all EF mounts lenses.
The world trusts you mate.Your approval is my final decision .💖
Please advise me, at this point I should buy 6D mareki or 5D mark iii. Thank you very much
I think the 6Dii is quite an upgrade from my T3i.
And you forgot the most important thing, the wind tunnel test
Great points but i think one problem is with the dimple on the 5d and the lack of on the 6d... the 6d has a touch screen you can use much faster than the dimple/nipple thing... great video once again tho fro!
I got 6dm2 on a bundle deal for $1700. Cash back of 300. Sold printer out of the bundle for 250. Got body plus battery grip plus fast SD plus lens filters for $1150. One should try out.
thank u sir
Fro, curious. Was the main shot in this video shot at f4? f5.6?
Gotta love that 6d!
I also have a Canon 80D and I've come to realize this 6D mark II. Is almost a full frame version of the 80D with a higher ISO.
This is the comment I've been looking for. I shoot with a 70d and love it. Coming from an XT1. I just needed to know that the 6d mkii is a ff 70d. Sold.
Can you compare this two who has a better image quality?
I'd choose 5d3 because to me video is important and I can use Magic Lantern with it.
The video quality straight out of the camera from the 6d2 is nothing compare to the ML on the 5D3
Dao Quang how do you put magic lantern on mark iii
I'd add 4 checkpoints to the 5D Mark III just because of ML. I loved it when I had my T5 and was deceived when I learned it wasn't available on newer cameras.
Jared - Loving the videos but the recent ones have TONS of side-to-side eye movement and its very distracting as a viewer. May want to reconsider or refine the teleprompter set-up to reduce/ eliminate the rapid eye movement.
Nice comparison but if I an shooting my kid playing tennis would 1/4000 better or 1/8000?
Also like to do slow motion can 6d m2 give me more frames for slow motion?
you summed it up right at the end of this review....That the 2 cameras are not to be compared for the various reasons you mentioned.
And the 6d mark ii is ideally for those of us who are just entering the world of full frame cameras.
It is easier than any 5d to get used to. It was not made for the serious professional, however you can use it as such if you know how to get the best out of the 6d mark ii.
I would not suggest that anyone who is NOT a pro go and invest in any 5d until they have mastered the art of shooting and have been using a crop sensor camera like the 70d or 80d.
Finally, the pros versus the cons of the 6d ii versus the 5d are clearly s matter of if one wants them to be.
Unless of course you are a pro...
Can't forget Magic Lantern on the 5D Mark III for video... also, having the joystick/better handling PLUS dual card slots is a big deal for me with the 5D...
Thanks. Handsome dude.
Please make a video about nikonD750 Vs Canon 6D mark II ( for wedding photography)
I have a 5DmkIII, an 80D, and an even older 7D. I wouldn't invest in the 6D all things considered. Canon still needs to get it together though. I mean like wow me in the next two years. The D850 was a real flag in the ground for Nikon all over again. The 5DmkIV was close but they need to give up 4K on their DSLRs already. A person that gets a cinema camera is always going to get a cinema camera. If I was just shooting video I'd consider a C200 because C200.
I read this comment and it's been two years....did Canon "wow" you? lols
What’s a review without the wind tunnel test?
I own a 6Dmkii and I will say that this is a versatile and practical camera. I used to own a 5DmkIV. Love the flip screen and lighter weight of the 6Dmkii. I shoot video and don't find the lower bit rate an issue for youtube videos.
AyeEye Creation need your help..... I'm planning to buy the 6d mark 2, would you please tell me that it's really bad at low light photography?? Focusing is really a big problem? What about the dynamic range?
Hello. I came from a 5DmkIV, D750 and 6D background and I honestly do not feel that this camera lacks in low light focus. Yes there may be tests that it has inferior dynamic range at ISO 100 - 200 when comparing to the MKIV or Nikon cameras but that is really if you are to pixel peep and compare the images side to side. In practical usage, I find that the advantages I get from 6DmkIV is far more important then the slightly lower dynamic range at lower ISO. I use this camera for both photography and video and let me tell you that the video that comes out of this camera is amazing. I came from a SONY 6500 background as well so I am very aware of the difference between 4K and HD quality. But there is more to just clarity when it comes to good video. For professional work, I would suggest the MKIV due to the dual card and the 1/8000 shutter and faster flash sync speed. But for everything else, my honest opinion is that if you love flip screen, the lighter body, and don't mind having only one card slot, then this is a camera of great value. If you are into landscape photography and dynamic range is absolutely crucial for you then you might as well go for Nikon or Sony. Hope that helps :)
Here's a high ISO test I shot with my 6D Mark II. I shot this time lapse at ISO 10,000 and I bet you cannot tell it was shot that high. I have plenty of images as well because I generally shoot astrophotography.
ua-cam.com/video/IArjgrE5OSg/v-deo.html
AyeEye Creation thank you so much for the reply.... It's really gonna help me. ☺️
Though, the main issue is that I'm a landscape photographer 😁
I'm a bit unsure about using a DSLR for timelapses. Not referring to quality, but to how quickly you can kill the shutter with timelapses. If you go by the 300k mean cycle count for a DSLR, you get ~166 minutes of 30fps video. Or, considering that the average timelapse is around 30 seconds, 333 videos. Sure, I expect Canons to last a lot longer than the average DSLR, but this is one aspect where a Sony would be better.
Hi Jared! When you talk about memory cards it seems like having dual cards with redundancy isn't a big deal to you. Is it true? Because actually for me the fact that the 6d mark ii hasn't dual memory cards is a deal breaker, and I wanted to hear your thoughts about this =)
Edoardo Legnaro Agreed.
Sal Alexander Canon would had just make it a little bit better
6D mark II has bluetooth. so you can pair it with your laptop, phone or any wireless hard drive that can backup realtime your photos for redundancy.
BudFox in raw? (If it does that its awesome, but I guess not. Or?)
I was hoping Canon would go with dual SD's on the 6D2 (like Nikon do with the d610 & d750) so I could swap my 5D3s for one .... single card slot= no dice
Are we polishing a türd here?
$2000 is a lot of money for a many of people, they will only spend that kind of money if the camera will fullfill all their needs and is not filled with old tech and curtailed on all corners just to make the flagship camera stand out a bit more just because Canon decided to hold back there as well. I hope Nikon will bring out a good replacement for their D750 soon to put pressure on Canon to step up their game as well.
If you are not a pro you are probably better off buying a good APS-C body like the 80D than getting a mediocre full-frame body, if you are a pro you probably will go with a 5D series because of the better reliability and durability of these cameras.
haha thank u soo much for this video
People missed the point of the 6d mk2. Sure it was never going to be as complete as the 5d mkiv but it was meant to fill the gap between the 5d mk iii and the mk iv for people who want an accessible full frame camera.
I will pick up the 6D ii any day with dual pixel af, wifi, touch screen on articulating lcd!!!
Thanku
idc what everyone says about the 6d mark ii, Canon 6D Mark ii FTW!!!!!!!
you're a good salesperson. all I say
Ok Jared, I'm downgrading soon ! ;-)
I found that there was no need for a joystick on my 80D as that touchscreen can be used to change focus points with my left hand thumb without moving my eye from the viewfinder. I expect this can be done with the 6DmkII.
Actually works quicker than my 2nd hand 5DSR, that I bought instead of the 6DmkII. Those bunched up focus points swayed me away from buying the later.
Keeping the 80D though!!
Hello. I want 90D or 6DMII. Which is better for photography?
