@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons It's good so far, although i am one of those that are suffering from the inconsistent eye a/f. At the moment lens wise i have the 24-105, Sony 35 f1.8 and a Tokina 85 f1.8.
Great video. Both cameras are great with pros and cons over each other and can’t go wrong with either option. I own the R6 and want to point out that for the auto focusing test you used the RF 85 F2 lens which is one of the worst lens for video in terms of auto focusing speed. That lens makes the R6 seem slower but it’s not they’re both similar in terms of auto focus. Both like I said either option is great. Great video.
The way the R6 switches between photo and video is very clumsy. Im a hybrid shooter so this is quite important. I prefer the R6 because there is no crop in 60p and this is very useful. Im just wondering if the photo/video switch is going to be a pain
My biggest issue with my R6 for video is that I can't use the custom settings mode to customize my video settings. I only have the video mode... so video setup takes time as I fumble between settings.
The one and only reason I didn't buy a R6. Hopefully there next mid market camera fixes this. My D750 has a switch near my thumb that automatically saves your last photo or video settings. So simple cant understand why other camera companies don't do this.
Can you get rid of the yellow cast in Sony picture profiles? I can see Sony much more yellow on faces. I mean can you correct it in camera? I don't want spend time colour grading. I have Canon M50 and I wish R6 was not overheating and had 30min limit. That is why I am considering Sony a7iv, plus they have sigma 24-70 2.8 for reasonable price too.
Thanks for this video mathie i was looking for this video❤️ Pls your advice i got r6 and i want to stary shoot cars videos should i stay on it or switch to sony ❤️
I'm pretty sure you can do great car videos with the R6. I'd say the only problem could be overheating if you need to record 4K for a long time without interruption.
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons oh no no i wont record long time at all max 5 min video . So i stay in the r6 it dosent worth it to go for the a7s3? Thanks alot❤️
I have an r6 , I love it but I had an issue recently with the censor and had to send it in for repairs . Considering Sony for lens selection but I’m so undecided becauee the r6 is so much better in low light
Thank you! Glad you like my setup. I can't remember exactly which model I used for the shot of myself in this specific video, but it probably was the A7 IV. This is the camera I've been using for all my recent videos, first with the FE 35mm 1.8 (including this comparison) until very recently when I switch to the 35mm 1.4 GM. Previously, I mainly used the A7 III. The various shots of the products from above are taken with the A6400, which is rigged to a Manfrotto Autopole and I always leave it there. I have the 16-55mm F2.8 mounted on that, which is good to zoom in or out depending on how large the product is. I'm not super keen on the lens to be fair, there can be a lot of CA to deal with if I shoot at F2.8. I may change it if I can find something better. Previously I was using the 18-105mm F4, but I had a lot of focus issues with that lens. The main light on me is the Sophiez Led Light SO-28TD by Falcon Eyes. Then I have two small Aputure Amaran AL-F7 for the overhead shots. Not the greatest lights you can find, but they do the job. I work in a very small space so I had to choose small and lightweight equipement. Everything is set around and above my desk, so I just have to turn on everything and start recording. In the background, there are two Philips LED strip lights (the cheap ones, not the fancy ones). They work ok as long as you select certain colours, and work at the brightest setting, otherwise they flicker.
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons Matthieu I can’t thank you enough for that wonderful and detailed description! The footage truly is beautiful you did an amazing job and I’ve looked at countless videos researching cameras. When reviewing many people often don’t tell what they used to film the cameras being reviewed nor the specifics such as the lighting - so I can’t thank you enough! 🙏
Very thorough comparison and much appreciated. One question: this may be a little outside of the interest of most hybrid shooters, but one complaint about the R6 is that you cannot record video in the All-I codec, but rather only IPB, which apparently is much more difficult to edit, and can be very slow going even on a normally capable computer. You need to generate proxies of R6 video files in order to edit them in a time-efficient manner. Do you know how does the Sony A74 video types compare in this respect? Thanks.
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons Thanks for this, and also for spelling out the name of the spec: "All-Intra" which makes it easier to research further online.
Hi Mathieu, thank you for excellent video comparison! I have a question about A7 IV. Do you remember if you can switch between FF and S35 mode during recording, if you map it to a custom button?
I don't think Sony's colors for people are bad. I think they're terrible for landscapes though. I personally hate Sony greens. They are very artificial and not true to life. Yet despite knowing this and wanting to switch away from Sony, I just invested in a Sony AR7iii over the R6 because I wanted the better resolution and cheaper lens selection x-x. Very much hoping I can fix the greens in camera with some color shifting as it's a major ick for me.
great comparision !!!! for R6 4k 60fps with no crop is a game changer, better stabilisation, canon colours, ergonomics For Sony: no overheating, cinematic PP, cheaper lenses
Very helpful review, merci! I enjoyed the calm way you talk, and how methodical your analysis is. Your video made me decide, finally: so many complicated options, i'm buying a point and shoot camera! (just kidding) 😁
Canon’s lenses are more expensive than Sony’s. Unless your objective is to adapt EF lenes to the R6, Sony’s E-Mount is considerably more mature with a plethora of third party options at prices that even Canon’s EF lenses simply cannot compete in.
This is probably the best comparison vid between these two I've seen so far on YT.
Thank you!
I always enjoy your patient and comprehensive comparison videos. Great job done! Watched both videos of this series.
That’s great to hear, thank you!
Two great options. I’m looking forward for your OM1 deep review and comparisons.
Great comparison! Just got an A7iv for Video mainly but the focus assist on the R6 really looks awesome!
Thanks for this.
I'm happy i chose the a7IV as my first full frame.
It's a great first full frame camera for sure. How do you like it? Which lenses do you have?
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons It's good so far, although i am one of those that are suffering from the inconsistent eye a/f.

Thanks for the feedback! I figured the 85mm F2 wasn't the best, but I wanted to compare simlar lenses when it comes to price.

@@markshirley01 i dont know if this will help you but i set up custom 3 for stills so its quite fast to switch to video. Do you use the custom modes?
Hello man . Whats the best lens for canon r6 for cars video shooting ?
Perfect comparison and covers everything anyone will ever need to chose these two semi professional systems.
Was waiting for this video for so long! Thank you mate!
Sorry for the long wait!
I appreciate all your cameras reviews.
Will you plan to test the Nikon Z9 in the near future ?
Thank you.
I would love to. Not sure when I'll get the chance, but I'll do my best.
My biggest issue with my R6 for video is that I can't use the custom settings mode to customize my video settings. I only have the video mode... so video setup takes time as I fumble between settings.
yeah I always here rumors they will update this, but nothing yet
@@ItalianVoid let us hope. But knowing Canon, I don’t think it’s happening

Very thorough and well presented, thank you!
Meu deus cara que video bem feito!!!! Obrigado por publicar isso
BEST COMPARISON EVER
Many thanks!
Think I will go with R6 for vlogs because no crop and better stabilization. Just wish they would update it with custom video options...
goodluck with overheating though!
did you check if R6 overheats after updating to the newer firmware?
I've tested it up to firmware 1.5.1. The latest versions available don't mention anything to do with overheating.
Can you get rid of the yellow cast in Sony picture profiles? I can see Sony much more yellow on faces. I mean can you correct it in camera? I don't want spend time colour grading. I have Canon M50 and I wish R6 was not overheating and had 30min limit. That is why I am considering Sony a7iv, plus they have sigma 24-70 2.8 for reasonable price too.
If you use the Picture Profiles, there are various settings to control colours. You can also use the WB compensation.
I switched to R6 from M50 and I used Sony a7 III at work. R6 is a great camera for my needs as pro

The A7 IV has both options: All-Intra and IPB.

No you can't during recording unfortunately, I just tried now.
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons Thank you very much! Have a nice day :).
I would still highly appreciated your settings for bird photography/stills for A7IV
Zone AF
AF Track Sensitivity 3, or 5 if birds are in flight
Focus Priority
Bird Eye AF (not essential when they are flying)
8fps or 10fps
Merci pour cette video objective et très utile !
Excellent review 🙂
great man, best video, I have R6.
You’re a wonderful reviewer. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff. Thanks. 👍👍
7:18 wow, the Sony has so much more detail that you can't even see the guy walking on the Canon! 🤪

Sony overheating in 4k…
Well done.
Excellent review...
thank you!
Before this video, I thought rolling shutter was better on the R6.
Very helpful review, merci! I enjoyed the calm way you talk, and how methodical your analysis is. Your video made me decide, finally: so many complicated options, i'm buying a point and shoot camera!
(just kidding) 😁
Haha, thanks! Which point and shoot? 😉
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons I don't know yet, will wait for a thorough review from you!
Lovely! Thank you for the effort! I'll go with the Canon were there cheaper and more lenses available..

Good review 👌
Using RF 85 F2 to test auto focus is a joke, you need to use a L lens!
That's the one I had. Next time I'll ask you to buy me a L lens ;-)
In his defense, the fe 85 1.8 lens he used for the sony AF test is also a pretty terrible lens for video.
