Canon for photo, Sony for video. The R8 is a photo-first camera that happens to be awesome at video. The Sony is a balanced product but without a viewfinder and with poorer ergonomics with heavy lenses, so its really optimised for handheld video.
Nice Comparison! I think the Canon R8 is a strong competitor and punches above its weight being it is 700 dollars cheaper! The zve 1 should more be compared to the r6 ii or the sony a7iv or Panasonic s5ii as it is closer in price to those cameras. So for the price I beleive the R8 is an amazing deal considering. Thanks for the video, good job!😊😊
Thanks for this! Finally decided after watching analyses like yours and seeing the cameras live in the store that the R8 is the one. Just feels like a better camera and suits the use case of the person I bought for perfectly: filmmaking over vlogging. Also, it's smaller than a DSLR and really comfortable but not micro-small. And, at that price point too. wow!
i really wonder where the extra stop is visible on the sony...i could not see any difference...maybe with a good will a 1/4 stop difference, but for sur not more
Great and helpful video 👍 I have a canon M50 and I plan to upgrade and perhaps R8 is the most sensible option for me. I like many Sony features but annoyes me yellow cast on the face. I don't have time colour grading.
That's a tough choice. One is APSC, one is full frame. I'd probably go for a6700 because I feel like it's going to provide a higher dynamic range when shooting video.
"Sony AF is a little bit superior" and than it's starts missing😂 "Active steady camshot is brilliant" and than god blessed IS in RF glass just beats it out. Nice, Sony boys! Moving just the right way!
well said i sold my sony a7iii and bought r8 for the better colors and the only problem i have is the lack of 1 stop of dr in canon compare to sony As you mentioned.but generally i am pleased with this cheap ff camera
Hi, thanks for this detailed comparison. Can you give your thoughts on weather sealing in the ZV E1, especially with the large mic on top. Is it resistant to slight water splashes?
I bought it a month ago and noticed the next day that when shooting 4K 60FPS there was a STCK PIXEL and I was horrified and refunded my money and got it back. The store is telling me to get another one, this is a manufacturing defect, but I was afraid and thinking about getting a Sony A73. Has anyone had the same situation?
4:53 get your eyes checked buddy the R8 destroys the Sony just because you know you messed up selling a better camera for the downgrade of an E1 doesn’t mean you have to lie to us and yourself about it!
Its all because its in compact or subcompact series. Thats a tradition for this product line. Because its minded as a travel or support/second camera. Just get 2 spare batteries (smallrig produces nice ones) and boom, you are perfect🎉
Fk bro , dont give wrong info , r8 autofocus is far better , dont say anything you want and 4k footage of r8 is sharp and better then zve1 Maybe in extreme low light zve1 is better other then canon r8
Canon or Sony?
Both!👍👍
Canon❤
I am actually asking myself. We are all either on Canon or Sony cameras. But I never see anyone with Nikon cameras for video or vlogging.
@@MilatovichFamilyNikon don't put "flippy screens" on their cameras yet. That kind of explains it.

6:09 he was talking about Autofocus "Sony may be slightly superior" then ZV-E1 missed the focus. LOL.
Great review bro, was so much fun shooting over recent days.
Yeah, was great!

@@vmnetnet8793 Both body cameras have a difference of more than 600 dollars, you have to buy good lenses for both so in the end the R8 is "cheaper"
In the autofocus test the canon seems noticeably better 😅 and it make sense, it’s has the same as the R3
AND they even included it from the R6 MII as well😂

Seems like the R8 would work for you! It’s a great camera, but I’m a Sony fanboy haha
Canon r8 perfect
A6700 and R8 body coming at the same price rn in my country. Which will be a better choice for hybrid shooting, priority on video?
That's a tough choice. One is APSC, one is full frame. I'd probably go for a6700 because I feel like it's going to provide a higher dynamic range when shooting video.

Nice, Sony boys! Moving just the right way!
very strong competitors , i would rather save 700 USD on a lens than to get the ZE1 body
To each their own..

For the $1500 price tag, the R8 is great. I really liked the colors and ergonomics!
May I ask - what are you doing to get more pink canon tones in the Sony? Is this something that can be done with a baked in LUT?
I probably used the Phantom LUTs which provide really great results when it comes to skin tones..
Sony ZV E1 $900 more than what I paid for the R8 directly from Canon...ouch!
The colors on the R8 look significantly better
Hi, thanks for this detailed comparison. Can you give your thoughts on weather sealing in the ZV E1, especially with the large mic on top.
Is it resistant to slight water splashes?
I think it should be fine with slight water splashes, but it's weather sealed. I would be very cautious using the ZV-E1 in rainy conditions..
@@Romafedorov thanks 👍🏼
No high iso comparison, both have great lowlight capability
I didn’t have time to compare that..
What about photos?
R8 all they way
I bought it a month ago and noticed the next day that when shooting 4K 60FPS there was a STCK PIXEL and I was horrified and refunded my money and got it back.

Sony Bias Review
Sony bias. Canon R8 has a superior AF
Except Canon lenses will be the thing that closes the gap for price.

Sony, но денег хватает пока только на кэнон)
The battery on r8 is a joke
That’s true!
Sony price is a joke
Its all because its in compact or subcompact series. Thats a tradition for this product line. Because its minded as a travel or support/second camera.

Its not superior. Save your time lol.
lol it's close tho
@@WasionKey no bro. Not even. You have to fool around the footage for yourself. Much robust data from the Sony.
@@kashifswaynerobinson lol man listen if i wasnt already knee deep in Canon gear i would consider the zve1 in a heartbeat!
@@WasionKey It's a capable camera, very capable, just that ZVE1 is literally FX3 and a7sIII sensor.
It's superior in certain aspects and inferior in others.
