      Canon Professional Services are awesome.
      Sony might be a clever little toy but when you look at what professionals are using Canon still dominates.
      Because their gear is more reliable, easier to use, a greater number of accessories to choose from, Canon Service Centres all over the world (great one in Cyprus when I needed it), CPS attend and support photographers at major events including fashion shows and race meetings.
      Canon Ambassadors are some of the best in the business.
      Grear range of lenses that work on all of their stills and video cameras all the way to the C300.

      Market share.
      Canon 49%
      Nikon 25%
      Sony 13%
      13% also ran.
      The fact is that when a professional needs gear it is far more likely to be Canon or Nikon than anything else.
      So if your channel isn't biased, why aren't 49% of your videos about Canon?
      Why do you focus on a brand that so few actually use?

  • @michaelbell75

    Nice comparison, I own both these cameras. Some important things left out that should be said. Things like the RP only having a 1/4000 shutter while the a7III has a 1/8000. That alone is huge if you are buying fast primes and shooting wide open as I do, unless you want to be stocking up on ND filters. The RP also lacks a mechanical shutter, only has EFCS, which can be annoying. The RP also only has 1 card slot and no image stabilization while the a7III has two and 5 axis IBIS. However, the RP is much cheaper, performs well enough with great Canon colors, and you get access to the RF lenses, most of which are far too expensive but can be rented.

The canon Eos-R is 2000 dollars same as the Sony a73 that’s what you do a comparison of. You don’t bring a camera 700 dollars cheaper to compare. I’m not a Sony or Canon shooter but what were you thinking! I had to give you a thumbs down for this one. To everyone reading this. The canon Eos-r is so much better than the Eos-rp as it’s meant to be. The Evf the dynamic range the quality of the video and options in 1080 which does 60 FPS. The Sony A73 is an amazing piece of gear and by no means am I bashing it. I don’t shoot either of these camera brands. I have no “bias”

      Burrito Bro's Videos really? I’m a professional photographer and I can help you make that decision. If you are a working pro. Get the A73 or better yet a 5d mark iv DSLR. You need the extra card slot. If you are an amateur and never had a pro body before. Get the Eos-r if you insist on getting mirrorless. However DSLR WILL DO YOU JUST FINE. save money get a 5d Mark ii used for 400 and couple good lenses. Which is what you really need. You can not compare a Honda Accord to a Toyota Corolla. You should compare it to a Camry. Those two cameras are not made on the same spectrum and this video was lazy. Quite simply because this is what he had. Rent the camera bottle one of you have to for a couple weeks and do a proper comparison between bodies with equal or similar specs.

      BROis having owned xt3 and 23/1.4 up until very recently, I used that combo as well. In fact I had both at same time. Here’s why rp +35/1.8 is better: image stabilization, 1:2 macro and the noise is significantly lower at high ISO’s than on xt3. Xt3 which I had from day 1, pic falls apart at iso6400 and above in low light. Rp is much better, at least to my eye, based on how I shoot of
      Course. Xt3 also slows down autofocusing in low light. Rp is rated at ev-5 (with f1.2 lenses) so with 1.8 it is likely around ev-4. It sees in a dark. Great camera/lens combo
      To take at night. Not that xt3 is bad it is very good.

    Thanks again for this helpful review. Moire, Moire, Moire (07:59 on her tummy for example) - don't underestimate the moire on the Sony. I use the A7III a LOT (for both photos and video) and mostly it's a highly practical and cost effective camera that gives decent results and is pleasant to use, BUT the moire is a very real problem (for me (before the bozos start yacking - your mileage may vary etc, etc)). If you're considering getting the A7III I would definitely try to get to do some hands on testing for the sort of photography you mostly do. Yes moire can be improved in post but that adds to time/cost and there are still occasions when it can't be sorted, so you need to be looking at shots 100% on reasonable screen before you can safely sign them off (again IMHO). Hope that helps somebody. Thanks again for these reviews and comparisons.

It's sort of like complaining that your lens can't give you proper macro shots; guess what, then get a macro lens (yes, there's a cost associated with that). Lastly, there are always ways to do things cheaper if you're on a budget or don't depend on the equipment to make a living. I don't do much macro, but have a few older manual Canon FD lenses for that which can probably be had for $50 or less. If macro were super important to me, I'd spend $1k on the Sony macro lens.

    Im a Canon user and not a Pro, so I got plenty of time to wait til Canon gets serious about Mirrorless. Right now Canon still sells plenty of DSLRs so they wont come out with a 1DX mirrorless, if Canon sees that they will be out of business before they're ready to let go of DSLRs, then they will reluctantly throw themselves into creating the Mirrorless camera all the people in UA-cam keep screaming for!, but not til then. By the time Dslrs are niche products, Canon will have a large variety of lenses, larger better batteries and most of the kinks worked out of their Mirrorless bodies. If you can not wait til then get a Sony.

    Had the RP and R. Went to the Sony A7III and boy am I super happy. Amazing colors and files are so clean.
    RP is good for a person looking to shoot jpg. Raw files don’t have much latitude. It’s my most hated camera out of the 20 plus cameras I’ve owned. It’s the worst sensor in a camera since the original 5D. Awful for a 2019 camera.
    R is a good camera, but hated the digital display on top, no knob to switch modes, the Touch Bar is awful.
    A7III is all set up for my personal taste and feels great to hold. Switch things without even looking.
    It’s funny how Canon guys would always make fun of Sony for being a computer. The R, it’s a digital mode selector you have to look at. Canon used to be the best at video too. My how the tables have turned.
    Sony color used to be off in the past models, but they got it right in the A7III. I’ll end up buying the A7R4 when it comes out.

      We exposed by the incident meter on the Sekonic, setting both cameras to the exact same ISO, shutter, and aperture. Camera manufacturers are not always truthful about the sensitivity of their cameras; so sometimes two camera will be exposed the same way but one will be darker. Typically Sony cameras are darker than other brands. Rather than leaving the images darker, we simply push them in post to match the brightness, and we like to mention it in the video so we're being open and honest about what is happening.

    Surely if you are talking sharpness of image you should ID the lens first?

    OK, I'm a Sony Shooter having moved from Canon years back and I already knew Sony was gonna take this one by far. But I must stress that those complaining that the canon cant shoot 24p, personally I hate 24p but if you really want 24p just shoot 1080 30p and conform the video to a 24p timeline in post-production. I feel like people are gett8ng way too lazy today and just want everything to work on the camera. You have to get around it somehow otherwise don't buy the camera if that one missing feature for you is a dealbreaker.

      This decision is based on size and lenses. The industry is moving toward mirrorless and Canon is putting their emphasis on RF lenses. You are better off to invest in the mirrorless camera because that is where the technology is in the future.

    I was using 6d I sold it now I am thinking to buy A7 III mostly I need for video and with this video I can see Sony A7 III is clear winner
    I am in Dubai price right now here for A7 III with kit lens 28-70 F3.5 -5.6 is 7498 AED US dollar 2041 v/s Canon EOS RP with EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 STM Lens price is AED 8,999 US dollar 2450 I think Sony is clear winner for video..
    Photography I use but not that much ..thanks for the video I was thinking in the middle that its biased toward canon to cirticize but when I saw the video FPS 120 on full HD man simply that is amazing ..
