- Huge thanks to everyone who pitched in and helped us with this massive upgrade in gear. Super excited to bring everyone much crispier looking footage that looks more realistic than we've even been able to before. I hope this is a bit of insight to how we make videos and what goes on on the backend of video production.

Brevity may be the soul of wit, but it’s not in the soul of Camera-nerds.
Your camera has great hair
@@straggler64 its only 49.36, its not like its 49.59
@@curiousnomadic its the critical tipping point
Is that natural Yack testicular hair or natural camel testicular hair on the Mic? Do you think Aliens show Mics with Natural Human testicular hair? Ha Ha. Great video by the way.
"My beard is never as majestic as it should be". :-D
A camera funded by the people for the people 😁 p.s: the new camera quality is 1000%
The quality is so much better
it's finally here !!! glad we all chipped in & helped make this possible
also, knowing you geek out as much as i do over tech/camera gear makes me smile 😊
as a *Sony α7R III* shooter (mainly photos, but some video), y'all will *NOT* be disappointed.
just know that the menu system is not as intuitive as *Canon* - but other then that, new *Sony* mirrorless cameras are superb.
also, saw you're using *Tamron* lenses. if future budget allows, look into *Sigma* . their newer *"Art"* series are cheaper & usually sharper than *Sony* lenses.
Thanks a lot! Stoked to learn this system. I compared the Sigma to the Tamron I got and picked the Tamron b/c the comparable Sigma used some weird system for adding filters to the back (sensor side) of the lens and also b/c the Tamron was significantly lighter. People also complain a lot about some Sigma lenses letting dust inside of their bodies, but I don't have hard proof on this. The Tamron seems to be doing awesome, thankfully. -E
I like that the guy behind Eric looked like he was meditating, stood up, looked at Eric, then moved further away and sat back down. That is my take away from all this... that Eric can get really excited about a camera. :P but CONGRATS! excited to watch more of your videos
Your pixel phone and this camera is a blessing to our eyes.
Dude that scene at 30 minutes the difference looks incredible
I've been watching your channels for years. You should have 5 million subs by now. 😊😊😊!!!!!
Haha, that'd make things exciting, that's for sure. Thanks for sticking with us! -E
I think upgrading to 3 arms is known as "doing a Zaphod"
I'm sold.
I understood that reference.
Should go for the 2 head upgrade too.
Loved the side by side comparison and especially loved seeing you just absolutely geek out over your new gear :)
Watching Eric geek on about camera equipment is so satisfying, as a camera/lens person. He's so passionate. Congrats on the new rig, been with you since the early days!
Rock on! You guys deserve it!
This was a really well-produced video of the comparisons between the Canon M6 and the Sony A7Siii. This could be the go-to video for anyone looking to upgrade to the Sony.
There are vastly better videos showing what the Sony is capable of, channels that specialize in this kind of content, haha. But glad you enjoyed! -E
Great Cam you will enjoy it! Also being a railway man I'm loving watching the trains in the background!
No shortage of trains here!
This is so exciting! I can't wait to see more from this new camera, it really looks great!
Woahh. The total darkness modes is crazy. Really excited to see your future videos, congratulations!
Yea, the lowlight is crazy!
@@kydeanderic that could because the ISO went from 400 to 16000 for the darker shot, the higher the ISO the more light is getting into the camera. There are Canon Cameras that have an ever higher ISO, my CANON 90D - a three year old camera goes up to 25600. Loving the UK videos
Congrats! You guys deserve all the goodwill from the community.
Thanks so much!!
Dude that camera is awesome. I want one.
Hurray! Great camera.
Congrats on the new camera. The difference are definitely noticeable. Also great editing on the video on showing the differences when you made changes to the video. Can’t wait to see more
Really happy for you guys! I'm a newish viewer and love your videos. Working my way through the "Round the world 2009-2010 playlist right now. You guys are definitely one of my favorite youtubers.
Awesome! Glad you found us!
I like to see the background like in your old camera
Yea agreed. That's an adjustment I can make and will during future filming sessions. -E
It’s amazing the difference a faster lens makes on its own. Looks great. Congratulations. My go to color correction is to crush blacks slightly, raise the saturation in the highlights/mids and sometimes shift them slightly bluer (primarily indoors). You’re going to love having the dynamic range to play with.
Yea, the ability to fix things is incredible. I'm so stoked. -E
congratulation on the new camera
Definatly see a difference and am eager to see the the awsome video on your next trip :-). You have always taken us with you on your explores because of your skill at video. However with your new camera I think we will see more detail, color and experience the incredible beauty you find. Hope Kyde never looses that great child like giggle of joy at life! Have been with you two since the world trip :-) can't imagine a world without Kyde and Eric videos. Thanks for taking me along!!
Thanks for joining us! -E
I enjoyed the talk about your cameras.. I found it interesting even though I'm not into camera tech at all. I never had any complaints about your video quality, but when you put the cameras side-by-side, the big jump in quality is very apparent. A great investment for your channel, and I'm excited to see videos with the new camera!
Glad I was able to keep it accessible for people not into gear like this, that was the goal I worried I had failed when I saw how long it ended up being, hahaha. -E
Which at 42:37 with the canon you can’t see your head at all, the Sony is nice! Congrats on the new camera 😊
Yaay! New gear. Hopefully, the content stays the same... Now, it's time to hit the road and show us this marvelous cam on the go... Cheers!
Haha, we wouldn't know how to change the content if we wanted. It's just going to look nicer! -E
Don't take this as an attack, but I found this video incredibly interesting and one of your best! I, personally, not only care about your adventures, but we feel a certain connection with you both, so when you are excited and happy about new gear, we are excited and happy about the new gear! Sorry we couldn't donate more, but we are happy that you achieved the goal and can take some pleasure in your endeavors! Cheers, can't to hear more about your gear/processes!
Haha, super glad you enjoyed it. I was worried it'd be a bit long and drony, hahaha. Thanks so much for pitching in, still stoked for what we will get to make as we move forward! -E
Thanks for another video. That’s one amazing camera. Will be looking forward to seeing videos recorded by it.
Interesting comparison to see! Thank you for sharing ^^
Your low light tests reminded me of my neighbour who had an Israeli military grade night scope used for stalking deer. In pitch black everything seemed clear for a long way. As clearly there is light around in what we consider patch black conditions, it makes you wonder exactly what constitutes real dark.
Haha, yea stuff like this is just magic...right?
Thanks Eric! That was great, always liked your videos, (watched ever since you were in Glasgow) as they have been, but will enjoy spotting where the new gear is doing it’s thing!! Cheers...
Thanks! Glad you dug it! Looking forward to getting more stuff out there with the new gear!
I happy to see you guys have been able to upgrade the camera. I think it is well deserved as you guys make awesome videos so it makes sense that the quality be up to par as well. That new camera is amazing in the low light! I was interesting to see the comparisons of the 2. Enjoy it and keep up the good work!
Good luck on new camera !
23:50 Much better 👍
Congrats on the new camera! I'm so happy for you guys to get a real quality camera to film the videos With. I have had the Sony a7sii previously. And now I own the A7iii. But want the a7siii in the future when I can afford to switch it out. Hope you get the new SD cards later when more companies can make them. A7siii is the low light king. That M6 looks just garbage right now lol
really nice camera. I spent some time researching a camera myself for product photography. I just purchased a Canon M50 with a 22mm F2 lens. I don't do videos or vlogs so it works great for pictures for what i do. It's all about what you need the camera to do, and the Sony looks great!
Congrats on the new camera, that beard looks majestic!
Hahahahha
ケイディ、エリック これからも元気でがんばってください。
楽しみにしていますね。
Wow, the difference in definition is night and day! XD lol I couldn't resist. The only nitpick I would have is the background gets blurred occasionally. I know it's one of those features that most filmmakers see as a plus, so it's not really a bad thing about the camera, just that it is kind of a bummer when more often than not we are wanting to see the background. I'm sure that can be easily adjusted with the settings though. The beard is most definitely more majestic. ;) I can't wait to see the beautiful ocean shots with this new camera! I really enjoyed the in-depth explanation even if I don't really know anything about cameras.
Yea, I'm aware of people wanting to see the backgrounds for sure. I need to keep an eye on that when we are filming, it's not something I've needed to worry about in the past, hahaha. Glad you enjoyed my blabbling! Haha. -E
Yes, background is much better on the canon...
I think you should probably mash up the cameras together 😆
@@gctyrsdax2591 The new Sony is capable of keeping the backgrounds clear as well. The blurry background is a "feature" I should have adjusted out when I was filming. I will be doing so in future videos.
So happy you two were able to get the new camera! Please let us know when you need anything else
Eric, in my years of vlogging, I learned that the (3) most important things about camera gear used are: 1. Video and audio quality, 2. Wide angle to capture as much of your surroundings as possible (not just the face of the vlogger), and 3. Stable video (nobody wants to watch shaky video). It's that third "requirement" which made using big and heavy gear out of the question for me.
I've avoided heavy gear for years, but this isn't *that* heavy. And to be honest, a little more weight *helps* keeping b-roll landscape shots smoother. Of course if it's a major worry you can always get a gimble! haha -E
Oh I miss the old day when we used to be happy with point-and-shoot cameras that we can easily carry and put in our pocket.
Haha, it's also fun to push the limits of what we can film. -E
That quality is really astonishing, not just the light performance, but also the filmesk look of the sony footage is quite someting. For example here 30:56 on the left side the canon looks like movie from blair witch project, and the sony on the right side looks like documentary from the national geograpic :)
hahaha yea, for real
Listen here, camera, I GREW this beard now give me some credit!
it was more interesting than I thought to hear more about this, especially your motivation behind getting this equipment. I get it! Very exciting to see this in your hands =)
Glad you enjoyed, I was worried I went a bit too far off the rails hahaha -E
New camera looks great. Keep up the good work)
Thanks!
Man I'm excited for you guys, the footage with the new cam looks way nicer. I never noticed things being washed out but when you compare its really clear the difference
Definitely worth the upgrade, the overall light balance wins out with the Sony, looking forward to 4K in the future, and some lens variety...thought recently your old Cannon was showing some edges of Kyde's eyes and hair weirdly, to the point of distraction, the new Sony solves that overnight!
What a difference!! So glad you all were able to get the new camera
The side by side comparison was really helpful. I know nothing about cameras but this made it really fascinating to watch.
What's your first full video you've posted with the Sony?
The Sado series was with the Sony, but in 1080p. 4k stuff is rolling out now. The Seven Lucky Shrines video was in 4k with it, as well as the new Cheap Eats video. -E
Super big jump in quality, awesome stuff!
Learned a lot watching this, both about the equipment and its functions plus all the work you personally put into this. You really have an eye for detail and it's one of the reasons why your channels is one of the best out there. You take us along with you, describing smells, tastes, and experiences that most of us will never be a part of in real life. And you wanting to bring us the best in vision, to see it how you see it, is really wonderful. Thank you. Also straight up the new camera makes you look younger.
It blows my mind how this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
Hahaha, thanks! Time-machine camera! -E
Great comparison Eric! What a world of difference. Better contrast, better low-light, better overall. I did notice that around the 27:40 mark, when walking on the bridge with the sky tree in the background, that you probably had the aperture on the sony a bit more open than on the canon. The depth-of-field (DoF) on the canon got the sky tree in focus while the sony failed there, in this shot.
Looking at the mario kart vlog as well, it seems that the sony prefers a shallow DoF as default setting. Rendering in focus stuff tack sharp, and having a nice "portrait style" drop-off to the background, which is perhaps a bit less desired in vlogging where the background is also of interest.
Regardless, this is something that can easily be fixed with proper settings, and I'm sure the camera will get even better (read: you'll learn all the ins and outs) with some use.
.. and now I have GAS for a Sony. But to stick old manual lenses on with adapters. Manual focus, and optical distortions everywhere, but very awesome for photography. Congrats on the new camera!
Yea, the aperture of the lens on the Sony goes to 2.8, the Canon was only to 4.0, so it's not something I've even needed to keep in mind before regarding bokeh, using the Canon I'd roll with it as open as possible b/c the ISO would get incredibly noisy even at low rates. With the Sony I need to close the aperture down when I'm outside and if the ISO ends up climbing up thats OK b/c the image processing on the Sony is so good it can get crazy high before it gets horribly noisy. It's a learning process, but it's something I'm aware of and trying to fine tune the sweet spot so things aren't too blurry in the backgrounds, even if it looks "nice" it's not ideal for the storytelling we are doing. -E
New cam looks awesome, look forward to seeing videos shot with it!
eric’s hitchhiking series could’ve been a nice baptism for this sony cam...however, we know that can’t happen anytime soon
Haha, yea, I wish that was a thing I could do now. -E
This is amazing! I can't wait to see more new stuff! I got to get back into shooting again! Very awesome man!
Post some stuff, dude!
Like other comments say you may wish to play around with depth of field on Sony, we like to see your magnificent beard, of course, but those shiny signboards behind you may also be of interest )
Low light magic is amazing! I wish i had it in my glasses especially during darker seasons.
The video reminded to my nerdy self of pc games graphics mods comparisons. I half expected you to start talking about shaders, textures and ambient occlusion...
Yea, I'm editing the first "real" video we shot with it and totally agree we need to adjust so the backgrounds are clearer. Will be making that adjustment for sure. -E
Hybrid Sony user here! Love the comparison between the two and I'm looking forwards to the future videos with the new camera!
Tips and tricks (Camera nerd in me 😂):
You can probably adjust the auto iso to a higher limit (at least the a6300 / A7 can auto to the max iso) you can probably crank that up to an acceptable level. Shoot PP1 or neutral to give yourself a little bit more flexibility in post to adjust your shadows and highlights.
I notice alot of clipping in the sky (zebras is your best friend in those cases) you can probably set the exposure compensation lower so it try it's best with exposure so less messing with the settings more going out and getting the shot :)
Yea, this was my first day using it, I've already changed my workflow with it quite a bit. And I just edited the first "real" video with the footage and now I have more stuff to fine-tune and adjust in the filming phase. -E
I’m pumped to see the outputs from this new setup. I’ve always loved how your videos often feel like a tour, and the a7siii is a beast especially for auto mode and low light. Keep in mind that it’s got dual native ISO based on your picture profile, so while it’s generally pretty clean when it comes to low light noise often you’ll get a glorious image if you keep it sitting at one of the two native ISO’s and adjust other setting or an ND filter to get the right exposure.
Yea, keeping an eye on those ISOs for sure. Its nuts watching it click into such a nice clean image as you *raise* the ISO! -E
Really interesting video. I like seeing the differences in the cameras. I think once you figure out how to stop the background from blurring quite as much that the Sony will be amazing to use. That difference in low light is no joke.
Yea, I already know how to keep backgrounds in focus, this was more of a user error thing than anything. -E
When you went into total darkness I was all, "oh no, this is the point where the Japanese ghosts start appearing behind you".
Yay!
Oh man, this is really great, I'm Soo happy for you guys!! What a relief to have something dependable for such a big part of your lives!!
Yea, super stoked!
i have no real need for something like this, but i almost wish i did, what a majestic beast, this technology is truly getting amazing in our time!!!!!o
the audio sounds much better to me, just casually listening on my phone even, i really hope you do work out a good anti-wind solution...!!!!!
Yea, the audio is "better" for sure upon listening back, but the sensitivity of the mic is causing me wind problems. I'm able to fix it in post, thankfully. -E
Excellent vid big man. Totally in your element there.
steps up in vid quality!! nice cam really does matter visually. price justified 🤗
37:05 Eric is getting abducted by dem aliens nooooo
Eric and kyde, there's a tim ho wan near shinjuku station. You can get those amazing bbq pork buns you had at hong kong.
haha, yea, there has been one in Shimbashi for a few years, we hit them up when we are in the area. -E
the low light shot on the a7s3 is awesome. really looking forward to the videos shot with this camera! 26:30 really shows the difference
Finally I love your camera!!
Hey Eric! I have a suggestion/thought. For the really bright days like you were showing here in the park, you should be able to expose for the sky (or find a middleground), and bring up the dark levels in post without getting too much noise. That could go for both cameras, though you'll obviously be able to pull more detail back with the Sony.
Yea, I tried this with the Canon and never was able to get anything that didn't look like trash. I have a lot more data to use with the Sony though so it's something I will keep in mind when filming. Still learning it's limits and such. -E
@@kydeanderic Gotcha. Anyway, I love your vids, and excited to see the beautiful night shots and dark locations you get with the Sony!
Congrats!
21:40 the sky looks the same though and not “bluer” as you mentioned earlier in the video
The yellow sheep freaked me out. I was sitting across the room and couldn't make it out and was wondering why this yellow object wasn't showing up on both cameras.
This is very exciting! I can't wait for the world to open up and to see some more travel vids with the new camera :D I bought the A7iii last year as my first camera, and now I'm super jelly :P You've inspired me to learn even more about pushing my camera to the edge of what it can do!
I use that tamron lens too, works so well.
Yea, loving it so far!
Did Kyde gave birth to a NEW camera? Kyde is no where in sight in this video 😝
Eric, you have to take in account the different lens specs in low light. The Canon stops at f4 with a 55mm filter screw mount. The Tamron at f2.8 and 67mm screw mount, the screw mount usually is defined by the front lens diameter. Therefore better (specially low) light gathering ability. I'm sure the Sony has better image processing too. Sadly my 61 year old eyes & 480p you tube transmission does little for image clarity.
Must say the colour rendition on the Sony is richer = nicer.
Yea, I was comparing the entire systems to one another, I understand a lot of this is the lens. I know it's not fair to compare them like that, but the main problem with the Canon is that they just don't have a lens available that is as fast as the Sony line. Oh, but if I crank the Tamron lens on the sony to f4.0 the difference is still shocking, haha. -E
Okay, I'm pretty much blind so I can't tell a lot of difference between the two to be honest, but I can definitely see more color clarity in the Sony. Aside from that this is a useless comment, but I do love the word "blabbling" and am adding it to my daily vocabulary. Thanks for this, and congrats on the new toy!
Haha, "blabbling" is a main character trait I have! -E
Wow, what a difference!! 🤩 I’m really looking forward to see your upcoming night shoots in dark Japanese alleyways.
Congratulations. Well I love the colours it's more realistic, as well as, the contrast with the new camera, however, the auto-focusing is causing problems for the backgrounds in the video which I hope it can be adjusted easily for you.
Yea, I can control the background blur easily, it's just not something I thought of when I filmed this as it was the first stuff I shot with the new gear. -E
Just watching you walk is amazing now lol :D
I'm hoping you also got some kind of gorillapod camera grip with the rig! Also, NICE upgrade!
Yea, we have a small tripod for it. We don't use it always, but it's handy sometimes. -E
New videos are gonna be TV quality. The Sony audio is a lot better, so maybe try getting a dead cat that happens to fit if it doesn't have a 1st party part.
Yea, we built a better dead cat, but it's still not amazing. Wish Sony would just sell a first party one that worked well.
Could you move the dead cat from the Rhode to the Sony mike? There is a lot of improvement with the Sony and your options because of the much better dynamic range will be a world of difference for you. I'm strickly a stills photographer and we have the same basic rules for exposure, that being "expose to the right". You can bring out details in darker areas but if your brights are blown out, you can't recover them. One of the things you were doing when comparing your shots was relying on the Canons screen which is a big handicap. The Sony's screen is much higher quality so for the Canon, a mediocre shot is not going to look as good as it actually is because of the limitations of the screen. One more thing to mention. 4K will put a huge load on your computer system. Hopefully, you won't have to upgrade the computer too. I don't know what you have but when I experimented with my Fuji with 4K, my travel laptop couldn't process it. I hope that makes sense. Looking forward to some videos from the new camera. Have fun.
Unfortunately without destroying the deadcat I can't move it over, the shape of the mics is drastically different. And I worry about a deadcat that isn't properly fitted banging around on the mic causing other issues. The deadcat we built is OK, but there is room for improvement, I suspect.
And yea, the Canon screen is....not accurate. I haven't tuned my brain to the Sony screen yet either, but it's not perfect either, but it's sure better.
I'm not too worried about the 4K being a huge problem on my computer, worst case I can edit with proxy files, which won't be too much of a problem regarding my workflow. In fact, I can even have the camera create proxies on the fly for me if I want. The 4K upgrade is more about having space for my triple backup system. We filmed over the weekend in 1080p and it was about 30gigs a day generated, if you multiply that by four (roughly) for 4K that could get out of hand really fast.
-Eric
Really glad you guys got the new camera, looks like you're having some troubles with tribbles though :)
I think this was the biggest endorsement for Sony a7s III night mode!
Now I feel like getting one even though I don't have any need for it!
Haha, yea, the low light ability is nuts. -E
sony also seems to blur your background and really focus on your face. so if we also want to see scenes behind you, those are blurred out (edited: other viewers noticed it too. hope there could be a fix) 😊
yea, I can adjust that and will in future videos we film with this. -E
LETS GOOOOOOO!!!
Great overview of both cameras and the differences from a consumer point of view. I agree with your opinions on the Canon m6. For the price, it's solid, but the lens choice and such doesn't compare to the new top tier consumer cameras like the Sony or new Canon mirrorless cameras. You definitely got an awesome upgrade and the footage looks great! Not gonna lie I am tempted with the A7Siii, but the costs to switch over is a big reason why I can't pull the trigger.
Yea man, the m6 is just super dated at this point and Canon didn't keep it alive with more lens options. It was fine for the time we got it, but I have an endless number of complaints about it now.
In a way I'm lucky I had bought into a basically worthless system b/c it didn't hurt at all to jump into a new one, if that makes sense. If I had tons of actually useful Canon glass and such it'd have been much more sting to make the jump to a Sony system.
I'm going to have to tag along with you sometime on a photo-walk and learn more about actually taking photos now that I have a decent camera. I've got video stuff down to a comfortable level, but I'm terrible getting a great photo, haha. -E
I assume you went from APS to full frame sensor.
Nothing wrong with 1080P, I'd bet few viewers can see 4k on their computers, unless they are using a high end gaming PC, or watching on their media room big screen smart TV's.
I'm not against 4K, but I need to upgrade my memory cards to shoot in it properly and I need to upgrade some of our video assets to a higher resolution. It's coming, but won't be right away. -E
Originally caught up with you guys in your Europe series and really liked the quality (and fun) of those video’s. Loved all of them particularly the Scottish ones. Were you using the M6/ 11-22 then? I think the filming was great, I have a Canon M100 with the 11-22. I’m sure your Sony full frame will be an improvement but be proud of what you’ve done with the Canon as it’s great work!
Yeap, those videos were the m6. For the time period it was a pretty good system, but things have jumped forward a lot and I'm happy to be catching up. Haha. -E
Now all them Tokyo KUs will look amazeballs. Bring it! \(n.n)/
Eric, why don't you use a short selfie stick for digital cameras? Wouldn't it be easier to turn around the camera with that?
I do sometimes have them on a short tri-pod, in fact, they were on small tripods when I filmed this. Its not always the easiest way to carry the camera around, however. -E
Shooting in Japan was very different than where I've been in Europe. The sky was blown out through most of the day in summer, it was very difficult to take good photos. Somehow the sun shines brighter there hahaha
Haha, yea it really depends on the season. Winter here can be gloomy, I've had problems with that in the past, trying to make things look colorful when we film during dec/jan. -E
Low light performance is Night & Day... ☺
The Auto Focus of the Sony was making the background blurry while the Canon stayed in focus in both foreground and background.
That's more of a user error thing that I am going to adjust for in future videos. -E
ND Filters Can be a big help for any camera rather cheap or expensive can greatly improve your images especially outdoors. Not sure if anybody mention earlier in the comments but these can be great investments and make huge differences.
Yea.....sort of. The really thing for us is keeping backgrounds clear, something I didn't account for when filming this. I need to close my aperture down for that which starts to eliminate the need for ND filters. If I wanted to keep the bokeh in strong light of course ND filters would help. It's something I may get at some point, but I'd like a high quality variable ND and they don't exactly come cheap, haha. -E
@@kydeanderic Congratulations on your new camera I’m looking forward to seeing lots of future videos.
