Just wanted to say a few things: 1. All photos showed for comparisons are straight out of camera with NO editing or retouching (6:47 and 8:59 notably). Any photos that are retouched are shown on their own, and are written that they are edited and retouched. Personally I like to see edited photos when I watch reviews so I wanted to include them. 2. These are my own thoughts and opinions based on MY experience using both mirrorless and DSLR in photoshoot situations. Every photographer will have their own experience and it will be different to the next photographer. 3. At the end of the day, the best camera is the one you have in your hands!! Good luck!!
Are they "straight out of camera" as in 1. you are showing JPEGs, or 2. you are showing how they look in a RAW converter without adjustments? In either case, the comparison is not useful for evaluating cameras. When comparing JPEGs, you are comparing the JPEG processing in camera and most of all the default settings. Some manufacturers like to not have the OOC images to be too saturated or sharpened so that there is a bit more leeway in editing them. If you compare default appearances in a RAW converter (hopefully it was the same, if you used one), then you are comparing the default profiles and settings for the respective cameras. Some manufacturers request certain standard processing, some profiles may be newer than others, etc., making this a tricky subject. I don't doubt that you meant to give us a good basis for comparison, but unless a lot of effort is put in regarding the normalisation of processing, such comparisons do not tell one much about the cameras.
I know these are your thoughts, but honestly, it's your TALENT that I wish I could just purchase and then have for myself. I mostly do video, and talk about that on my channel. I've done video fo over 20 years, and for the life of me, I've taken photos just as long too. Practicing like a madman. I know camera settings like the back of my hand, I understand the concept of appropriate composition and storytelling when taking photos, and heck, I' even freelance for a photo studio to take event photography for money for a long time now. And....I still don't believe I can take one photo on my best day, that's as good as your worst photo on your worst day.... In other words...I appreciate you as a photographer, more than the equipment you use. :-)
I literally just upgraded to Mirrorless myself. The sharpness was a big factor for me, because I find it a lot easier to soften photos than to sharpen photos in post, and I need sharp photos more often than soft photos. I also do video sometimes, and mirrorless has been way better for quickly and easily toggling back and forth between photo & video. I agree about the battery life issue, but I’m already used to carrying a bunch extra of batteries with me anyways because of my anxiety even with my old DSLR lol, so no big difference for me 😂 I’m happy so far! Oh, and I also switched from Canon to Sony. Great video!
For portraits I prefer DSLR ! It gives a nice soft look. Mirrorless gives very sharp images, so perfect for street photography. You can quickly snap photos on the go and get sharp images. I own a mirrorless camera now, but I really miss my DSLR camera for portraits. Mirrorless is easier to use - sharp, fast, eye tracking. However mirrorless SUCK the life out of the battery, lol.
everyone keeps mentioning eye tracking. y’all know dslrs also have eye tracking ? my canon eos SL3 shoots 4k, has a flip around touch screen, eye tracking ... if anyone reading this wants a good camera get the one i have. no need to spend $2500! if you know how to shoot your images will be sharp regardless
@@alexisrose4221 I'm doing videography too Not gonna lie. Buying the mirrorless is way morreeeeeee convinience for me when I can do both of them on the same camera. Thats when AF beats the sht out DSLR
I think the reason mirrorless cameras are sharper and 'super crisp' is because most of them use newly released, clinically sharp lenses, which isn't the case with DSLRs. In my opinion, if one wanted to upgrade to mirrorless, while also wanting to maintain a 'softer' look, they can use older lenses with an adapter for portraits while taking advantage of fast autofocus and live view that mirrorless cameras offer.
I currently own and use a DSLR but have been seeing all over social media that people use mirrorless now. but i love this video because i feel like i have a better understanding of the two. I would love a mirrorless for travel.
The hype is real!! This is coming from a long time Canon 5D Mark IV user. I love my Canon R6 so much.❤️ But I loooove that crispness and the eye tracking, that’s what sold me on it. I think you can add softness in editing if that’s a main concern. Definitely gotta try out Canon’s mirrorless options Jessica!!👏🏼
Pretty good job explaining the differences between the camera types. I have 2 DSLRs and 2 Mirrorless cameras and prefer the mirrorless because of their size and because I can see that my exposure and settings are where I want them. It's made me shoot in Manual way more than I used to. Actually, I believe that Canon's mirrorless cameras have more lens options because of the EF-EOS R Mount adapter. You can use RF, EF, and EF-S lenses on Canon's R cameras. Sony also has a lot of E-mount lenses to choose from for their mirrorless cameras.
Jessica, you need to get onto Canon about letting you trial an R5 or an R6 (or even an R3) you can use all of your EF lenses with an adapter whilst you build up a collection of R mount lenses
I would love to but unfortunately Canon is not in contact with me. The only reason I was able to get the Sony mirrorless is because Sony sent me it (I can't keep it though) - which was super nice of them to let me try it before it's even released!
@@JessicaKobeissi that’s a shame, i think you would like the R Series, Canon & Sony are making the best cameras in the world at the moment, you can’t go wrong with either brand, but i prefer the ergonomics and menu system on the Canons thank you for responding, love your videos here in England
@@JessicaKobeissi I upgraded from the 5D Mark IV (owned it since it launched in 2016) to the Canon R5. The upgrade was seemless, and the issues you mentioned with the EVF just don't exist with that camera! I let a semi-newbie photographer, and let her use the 5D for 2 months. She loved it. Then when I gave her the R5 to use, she refused to ever use the 5D again. Sony in particular does not have the best LCD screen for those bright days either. Just some thoughts! But watching your video was very intriguing, because your opinions didn't seem influenced, or just matching what everyone else says, so thank you for that!
I agree. If you are used to Canon images, look, handling, menus and files workflow, I would also recommend the R system. I found Sony to be to extreme in IQ and the handling and menus are something to REALLY get used to... and they just don't feel like a proper Camera in my hands, but then again for new shooters who have no reference, that is no issue.
Omg I am in a beginner photography class right now and started this past week. Literally this was the stuff I was supposed to read in my textbook. So glad this popped up on my feed and I got to refresh the information
Another banger video. I just made the Jump from an entry level Canon dslr to the Fujifilm X-T4 Mirrorless camera and I love it. It's powerful for photos and videos.
Super surprised you had issues with battery life. When my best friend who seconds shoots weddings for me who uses a canon 5D Mark IV (I use a Sony A7Riii) she has to change her batteries multiple times and I never have to change my batteries during the wedding day. Also I can see so much better in direct like with the EVF over the OVF. I think it just takes a week or so to get used to.
Yes! I recently had to start changing my battery on my Canon 5Dmk4 more often too! I had a micro wedding and i had to change batteries after the ceremony!!
Great video, but a couple things 1. You can get that soft look based on the lens you use or use pro mist filters. I don’t get sticking with a dslr for soft images. Using a tamron 24-70 ART and a 1/4 pro mist I get that soft dreamy look while still nailing focus every time. 2. Nor have I ever had lag on any three of my mirrorless. And I was a DIE HARD DSLR person when mirrorless was becoming more popular. 3. I also don’t understand the battery thing. My a7iii and siii are phenomenal I’ve hard worse battery on my old nikon DSLRs. Plus you can always hook up phantom power with an external battery with just a usbc cable.
Reason why I recommend Mirrorless cameras over DSLR is because of the technology. DSLR are inferior to Mirrorless in every way no matter how many times people have tried to prove me wrong that DSLR are still better than Mirrorless, they always get shot down. Mirrorless has so many more features that makes it a great camera overall. Features such as Eye-autofocus, face detection, LIVE view, silent shooting, Electronic View Finder, 5-axis stabilization, 500+ focus points, and so much more. I dont recommend anyone to invest in DSLR cameras anymore since they are outdated and are still overpriced. The future of cameras is mirrorless and I'm glad that Sony invested so much into mirrorless back in 2013 or else we would still be stuck with DSLR to this day. In the next 5-8 years, we will see a shutterless camera when Global shutters or stacked C-MOS sensors becomes more affordable and better.
Not sure if it was changed, but by default the screens on Sony cameras aren't super bright, but the settings can be changed to make them much brighter. Definitely needed shooting on sunny days
Good video Jessica. You make some very good points in this video. Before you switch to Sony. I like to recommend to you that you try the Canon Mirrorless system like the Canon EOS R5, and R6 cameras. One benefit that you will get by going mirrorless with Canon is that you can still use your EF lenses on the R5, and R6 with the EF TO RF adapter. The tech in the R5, and R6 is really good. It's up there with Sony. The final choice is yours's , but i strongly recommend you give the Canon mirrorless system a try before you make your final decision.
If you shoot weddings and editorial type of photography there's no question that mirrorless is the way to go. You'll never miss a shot because wrong exposure or have to look behind the camera again which is way more artistic plus, the low light performance is out of this world. For studio, architectural and landscape etc., DSLR still relevant cause is cheaper and now you can get a pro level camera for less than $2k. Cell phones are getting super good cameras need to get better software to keep up w HDR on phones and realistic looking imaging. Cheers!
Generally a good discussion, but two major issues: 1. IQ: DSLRs do not produce softer images. What you are seeing are differences in lenses and at most different choices regarding Bayer-AA filters. Some DSLRs and MILCs use them, some don't. Also, due to the need to perform AF on the sensor, a number of (in particular Sony) mirrorless cameras can produce striping or banding artefacts. DSLRs that focus on still photography do not have these issues. 2. EVF. You should have made a bigger point about the lag the EVFs produce. For anything that moves, one is always a bit behind the action. The standard refresh rate also is anything but pleasant when panning. Some models offer higher refresh rates as an option but these eat into the battery even more so than the standard EVF usage already does. I find some of the stuttering that can occur with EVFs very off-putting as well. For instance, if one engages AF on a Fuji or Panasonic, the EVF stutters. Many EVFs reduce the resolution during AF. For someone who wants a WYSIWYG experience, EVFs can be great (except when you use flash), but for anyone who is easily irritated by lag, stuttering, temporary loss of resolution, artificial looking white balance, etc. an OVF is far better.
The striping banding in mirrorless/Sony cameras is probably because of the electric shutter not the mechanical one. If you switch to mechanical shutter it should be the same as DSLR.
I've seen soooo many videos on this subject and I can say that you have done in of the best and most comprehensive explanations eve seen. I understand more about them now. Tha ks for sharing your thoughts.
I think you will step your game up when you switch to mirrorless. It makes portrait sessions so much easier if you know what you are doing. Fast, reliable eye-AF and live-view are game changers for me.
Great Vs. video! I started off with a DSLR: Canon EOS Rebel T3i since 2013 and i now use a Mirrorless: Canon EOS RP. To me i love my RP wayyy better mostly because of how sharp my images are now. I feel as if i'll get use to the digital screen details as well! Also my T3i is soo old and i needed an upgrade.. 😉
* I never had issues viewing my EVF shooting back-lit subjects. It comes down to how the camera is ergonomically designed to "cup" your eye. Composing thru the LCD in that situation, Forget about it. * The sharpness differences comes down to native lens qualities. DSLRs generally focuses off the mirror metering overlay and calibration differences of Mirror point focus to Sensor focus can be slightly off a bit. What the OVF is seeing in focusing might not exactly coincide when the shot is exposed on the sensor, which is mostly why mirrorless is generally sharper on top of modern optical designs; the sensor is the primer point of focusing and native mirrorless system lenses are calibrated and designed For that sensor. * I have to agree with the super sharpness of mirrorless which is why I like to adapt my DSLR/SLR lenses to my mirrorless from time to time. * Getting into DSLRs long term is a risk being that DSLRs are currently being phased out as Mirrorless tech improves, but are still fun tho. * Until Very recently, I was long into the camp as a sports journalist who shoots fast action, DSLRs with OVFs are unbeatable to capture that decisive instant moment when you see it with OVFs not having lag obviously [except the time it takes for the mirror and shutter to open], However, Nikon just announced their flagship Pro mirrorless camera that changed my opinion on that. It has no shutter and zero blackout, instant refresh rate in the EVF due to a separate processing power for that reason and tests have show it to be as fast as shooting with an OVF. But that is for extreme fast shooting with new AF tracking to match Sony's AF... oh and battery life on that camera is monstrous due to the Huge pro battery it has, rated as all day and more on one charge. Like you said, research, research and research... and get what fits your shooting style. I use both systems and lately I've been more invested in mirrorless going forward.
I do like the mirrorless camera, although I am more used to the DSLR. It does always amaze me how crisp the mirrorless pictures are. I think that a mirrorless camera is a little more complicated with all the filter settings an stuff. It's just what you're used to... I love my DSLR a lot!
dslr cameras have the live view mode too which is looking at the screen on the back of the camera just like the mirrorless but drains the battery more quickly
Jessica I always come to you for advice on cameras, I love that you're shooting with Sony now too. The last time I was here you were saying how you ended your contract with Canon and you were excited to this! Love the follow through, definitely have got to check out your newer content girl! P.S. you're not helping me pick for my new camera 😖 lol but I love your honesty with "Don't by into the hype." Definitely figuring out my wants and needs that suite my personal preference.
You might like Fujifilm… X-Pro line has both EVF and OVF, amazing Fuji colours, some lenses have the softness you like and some have the Sony style crispness. Just buy extra batteries… haha
Excellent video! I learn SO much from your videos. I hope DSLR cameras are still made for years to come. I am a relative newbie and just spent $$ on 2 (used Nikons) and several prime lenses: D5600 and D7500. I am learning and feel I just recently crossed a bridge to having a vague idea what I am doing...(now shooting manual). I like the long battery life, lens selection. As with all technology, eventually mirrorless will take over but I am going to wait...one, because they are EXPENSIVE, and two, in a few more years some of the bugs should be worked out, such as short battery life. Also, I do NOT want the camera to do it all....that is not creative...a true photographer should choose their own settings, not the camera or software.
This video came out at the right time! I'm starting my school career as a fashion photographer, what camera models do you recommend to start? I don't wanna spend a lot money (not more 1,300€). I saw your video where you recommended models to get started but it was some time ago. Thank you, sorry for my English (I'm Italian :) )
Per iniziare va bene anche una Sony A7ii (1160€ con lente kit), il problema sono sempre le lenti che costano (dipende da quello che vuoi fare), se vuoi andare su mirrorless, se vuoi andare su reflex non ti so aiutare
@@Comellato grazie! :) In realtà sono molto indecisa se mirrorless o reflex, non so se ha senso oggi investire in una canon 5D mark III o se comprare direttamente una sony
Guilia, i recommend to just go straight for the Sony a7iii. Do not get any of the 2nd generation Sony cameras like the a7ii, a7Rii and a7Sii as their focus points are too slow. Since you are wanting to make a career out of photography, a7iii will be the better choice as its price at $2,000 u.s. dollars right now
Thank you for the video. This is the best objective comparison. An old friend is better than two new ones. There is a lot of demagoguery in the comments, but the fact that you take gorgeous pictures with a SLR camera and you have a stream of customers proves your arguments in deeds and not just in words.
Thank you so much for this explanation! Super helpful! I'm going to upgrade from a Canon 5D Mark II (about time right, lol!) and wondering if I should go for the Canon 5D Mark IV (that has been my dream camera for years) or a mirrorless Canon camera. I feel like a mirrorless would be a huge leap, but also it's the future of technology? Still not sure what I should go for, but this really helped me understand the difference between the two!
Yes and it's so great, especially the hybrid viewfinder with the small zoomed in screen which helps a ton with manual focusing while keeping the optical viewfinder
On the viewfinder, funny thing is. an SLR was originally designed so you could see exactly what your camera sees with aperatures and filters applied rather than using a viewfinder on the side. Now with digital filters possible the EVF is the only way to get everything. Would be interested to know if mirrorless cameras ever display photos taken via the EVF instead of the back so you can view in sunlight.
I've played with mirrorless from all three big brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony) and I've tried so hard to like them but no matter what I do, I just plain don't like them. But I'd damn near sell my car for a Canon EOS-1D X Mark III after trying one out for the first time (finally) yesterday! If you're looking for a piece of kit, the best thing you can do is actually TRY IT. The experience you have using a camera can make or break everything because in the end, it doesn't matter if it's the best model a company has released if you hate using it.
I switched to mirrorless back in June. It was a major adjustment with the body and re-doing my settings, but over all I enjoy using it. I still shoot my mirrorless like my DSLR bcuz I'm so use to looking through the view finder. A lot of my co workers shoot mirrorless and they don't bother looking into the structure of their camera body or learning how to use it manually. They'll tell me to have my ISO and apeture set to auto and I look at them like they're crazy 😳
Love your shots as always. I also used to have the Canon 50mm 1.2 on a 5D and now have R5 and RF 50mm 1.2. Some of that increased sharpness is due to autofocus calibration which you need to do on a DSLR (but it's never perfect as it uses the mirror as you so eloquently explained). Whereas the mirrorless focus is directly on the sensor so no calibration needed. Also the new mirrorless 1.2's are HUGE due to new lens elements but much sharper than the previous 1.2s
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.I have Canon 5DMark III but seldom used after buying mirrorless camera,which it can also provide awesome imaging quality. Like the mobie phone, the earphone, is a trend that people get more portable and lighter electronic equipments.
So helpful! Thank you 😊 I have had the Sony a6000 since I started photography in 2018. It was nice to get a more current comparison about the two as I am FINALLY considering investing in new equipment. It’s kinda wild because I started with mirrorless and now am considering DSLR when for most others it is the opposite.
I'm currently saving up to get a mirrorless camera because I heard their video specs are better, I'm thinking getting a Nikon Z6 with Atamos Ninja V to get that 10 bit video
I shoot nikon mirroless and often in direct light and although the back screen can be hard to view in direct light but I never had any problems with delays, glitches or having an image too dim to see. Also the battery is good for a solid 3 hours of constant shooting. Last 7 hour wedding I went through 1.5 batteries. I do agree that DSLR gives a softer portraits look, but there is a “dream” filter in Nikon that gives same softness. High ISO handling is amazing on my mirrorless if an image is exposed properly in camera. Exposure adjustments in postproduction can give grain which is expected. That’s my experience but I have never shot other mirrorless brands. I do love the look that canon r6 gives. My second shooter uses that model and I love her images SOOC as well.
awesome review!! I just added bought an R6 after I tried it. I also tried the sony a7 but the R6 was such a nice experience. and the price is very interesting. so now I feel like I have the best duo cameras: 5DmarkIV and canon R6 ! been using them on a few weddings together its amazing! I love the 5D too much to leave it ! you explained beautifully the optic viewer experience especially when we have that shooting in raw mindset ! its actually the video capabilities of the R6 that made me do the switch : they have an integrated stabilizer and slightly less bulky with a gimbal XD (but the 5D also has 4K recording so no stress !)
I would love if you could get the chance to try out the Canon R6 or R5! I’m thinking about getting the r6 and would love to see a video from you about it! 😊
Get the r6. Between the R5 , the R6 has Better low light capabilities. The R5 just has more mega pixels. I have the canon r6 I have two of them to be exact and i do all kinds of photography
Regarding the OVF vs EVF in low light: I understand where you are coming from but to be honest i find it to be completely opposite. When it's completely dark, on OVF you do not see anything. At all. On EVF you can see it bright, even if it preview may seem grainy and noisy. When i shoot at home studio and i kill all the light except for the flashes, it makes huge difference for me, since i am able to focus at all. Also i was quite surprised when you mentioned that you could not see anything on EVF in backlight situations. That never happened to me, even on such grandpa mirrorless like my A7II or Olympus E-M10 i had before that. Do you mean that the EVF seems to get confused about how bright is it supposed to be and for example darkens it too much when it should not? I'm pretty sure you can change that in settings.
This video is great for beginners but I think it would’ve been better if you were make another video doing a comparison between a DSLR Canon and a mirrorless Canon.
Darling in this case the hype is real. When I bought that EOSR, All my problems just went away. Actually my 5D3 is just gathering dust right more. It’s like shooting with a brick. Mirrorless is definately the future. Once we have a way of using it with flash. That’s the end of dslr. Like finito.
Some of the differences depend on brand and model, not DSLR vs mirrorless. Eg @6:45, which depends on the jpeg setting (my DSLR has ~10 choices); you can adjust in post-processing anyway. Many DSLRs have touch screens and silent shutters, and all have an electronic live view screen. There is also no reason in principle for the M-Less pictures to be sharper, they use the same sensors and lens designs.
You cane get a canon m50 aps-c and buy a speed buster it just makes it a super investment considering you cane use a M42 and a M32 adaptor ring on it and use old vintage lenses wich are very chipe and gives them new life
It is understood that a mirrorless produce crisper images than a DSLR. This is not only because of accurate focusing of the mirrorless but mainly due to superior optics of the newly developed lenses for the mirrorless.
i have a sony, and sony lenses are usually more expensive than nikon or canon, so i bought an adapter and i can buy canon lenses which are very good, and they work very well, I recommend it if your budget is tight or if you already have canon or nikon lenses and you only want to change to mirroless body and use your other lenses
Well for me I would have to disagree on the part that it is hard to see when in harsh light with the evf. I have my canon R6. And I can see clearly everything and even on my screen. I live in miami where there is harsh light everyday. And I can see perfectly clear. Before my R6 I use to show with the 5D mark 4 and man what a difference. So much better 🤷♀️🤷♀️
To be fair, the only reason that A7IV is heavy is because there's a massive slab of 50 f1.2 on it. Stuff like that and the old Sigma stuff is dramatically heavier than Sony's GM or Sigma's new DG DN lenses for the mount. That's just the 1.4 lenses. The 1.8 and F/2 lenses are tiny little things.
I'm not sure about the battery life differences in that the DSLR batteries I have seen are much larger than the ones my equivalent Mirrorless uses. The batteries I use slip easily into a pocket and at the weekend I shot several thousand images on a single battery at a football match using high speed frame rates. Mirrorless don't have a mirror to physically move which saves energy and as longer as you use reasonable power saving settings you can shoot motorsports for hours.
Mirrorless is my choice because I can see exactly what my sensor sees. But if battery life is your main concern, then mirrorless is not a good choice (unless you pack a bunch of batteries). One thing true of all cameras: there are always tradeoffs.
My mirrorless is amazing for not needing to do test shots but I find that i have missed candids at weddings because the mirrorless takes longer to wake back up and focus if you’ve not used it for a couple of minutes.
I left my concern about sharpness for more liberty in practice more creative and quick images. Not always sharp is more important, I prefer a soft skin and be more careful how the image talk to the peoples, the story she tells.
I have a 5DMK3 and it struggles in low light is it worth upgrading just for that reason. I’m using a 85mm 1.4L and at IS0 3200 the camera is always hunting to find focus.
I’ve seen hella beat up a7iiis sell for like 1400 and it debuted at 2k. It gives me hope because mine is chipped on the corners but is functionally still superb.
Typically, mirrorless have better low light performance which can be better for video. The DSLR is still king for organic image quality, but that is becoming very negligible these days. Everything else, you already said.
Just wanted to say a few things:
1. All photos showed for comparisons are straight out of camera with NO editing or retouching (6:47 and 8:59 notably). Any photos that are retouched are shown on their own, and are written that they are edited and retouched. Personally I like to see edited photos when I watch reviews so I wanted to include them.
2. These are my own thoughts and opinions based on MY experience using both mirrorless and DSLR in photoshoot situations. Every photographer will have their own experience and it will be different to the next photographer.
3. At the end of the day, the best camera is the one you have in your hands!! Good luck!!
❤️
Are they "straight out of camera" as in 1. you are showing JPEGs, or 2. you are showing how they look in a RAW converter without adjustments?
In either case, the comparison is not useful for evaluating cameras. When comparing JPEGs, you are comparing the JPEG processing in camera and most of all the default settings. Some manufacturers like to not have the OOC images to be too saturated or sharpened so that there is a bit more leeway in editing them. If you compare default appearances in a RAW converter (hopefully it was the same, if you used one), then you are comparing the default profiles and settings for the respective cameras. Some manufacturers request certain standard processing, some profiles may be newer than others, etc., making this a tricky subject. I don't doubt that you meant to give us a good basis for comparison, but unless a lot of effort is put in regarding the normalisation of processing, such comparisons do not tell one much about the cameras.
I know these are your thoughts, but honestly, it's your TALENT that I wish I could just purchase and then have for myself. I mostly do video, and talk about that on my channel. I've done video fo over 20 years, and for the life of me, I've taken photos just as long too. Practicing like a madman. I know camera settings like the back of my hand, I understand the concept of appropriate composition and storytelling when taking photos, and heck, I' even freelance for a photo studio to take event photography for money for a long time now. And....I still don't believe I can take one photo on my best day, that's as good as your worst photo on your worst day.... In other words...I appreciate you as a photographer, more than the equipment you use. :-)
Way dont you upgrade to a canon r6 or r5?
You should try out the Canon Mirrorless system before you jump to Sony :)
OKAY, BUT JESSICA LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD IN THIS VIDEO! Mama, you glowing
Ohhhh thank you so so much!!!! ;-;

May I ask why you switched from Canon to Sony? I’m a beginner, and I can’t decide!
For portraits I prefer DSLR ! It gives a nice soft look. Mirrorless gives very sharp images, so perfect for street photography. You can quickly snap photos on the go and get sharp images. I own a mirrorless camera now, but I really miss my DSLR camera for portraits. Mirrorless is easier to use - sharp, fast, eye tracking. However mirrorless SUCK the life out of the battery, lol.

@@alexisrose4221 I'm doing videography too
Not gonna lie.
Buying the mirrorless is way morreeeeeee convinience for me when I can do both of them on the same camera.
Thats when AF beats the sht out DSLR
Well said! That Sony A7IV is looking good on you ;)
I think the reason mirrorless cameras are sharper and 'super crisp' is because most of them use newly released, clinically sharp lenses, which isn't the case with DSLRs. In my opinion, if one wanted to upgrade to mirrorless, while also wanting to maintain a 'softer' look, they can use older lenses with an adapter for portraits while taking advantage of fast autofocus and live view that mirrorless cameras offer.
I currently own and use a DSLR but have been seeing all over social media that people use mirrorless now. but i love this video because i feel like i have a better understanding of the two. I would love a mirrorless for travel.
Very helpful info. TQ so much. Considering to purchase the mirrorless and still keep my Dslr.
The hype is real!! This is coming from a long time Canon 5D Mark IV user. I love my Canon R6 so much.❤️ But I loooove that crispness and the eye tracking, that’s what sold me on it. I think you can add softness in editing if that’s a main concern. Definitely gotta try out Canon’s mirrorless options Jessica!!👏🏼
This is a very well done video that clearly explains the difference between the two types of cameras.
Pretty good job explaining the differences between the camera types. I have 2 DSLRs and 2 Mirrorless cameras and prefer the mirrorless because of their size and because I can see that my exposure and settings are where I want them. It's made me shoot in Manual way more than I used to.
Actually, I believe that Canon's mirrorless cameras have more lens options because of the EF-EOS R Mount adapter. You can use RF, EF, and EF-S lenses on Canon's R cameras. Sony also has a lot of E-mount lenses to choose from for their mirrorless cameras.
You can use all Canon lenses with Sony as well, you just need an adapter :)
@@Relutzu187 I forgot about that!
I love eye autofocus. It makes taking portraits so much easier
best explanation I've see thus far, thanks Jessica!
Jessica, you need to get onto Canon about letting you trial an R5 or an R6 (or even an R3) you can use all of your EF lenses with an adapter whilst you build up a collection of R mount lenses
Agree, the comparison should have been with a Canon mirrorless. And as you say, with the adapter you don't need to spend a fortune on new lenses.
I would love to but unfortunately Canon is not in contact with me. The only reason I was able to get the Sony mirrorless is because Sony sent me it (I can't keep it though) - which was super nice of them to let me try it before it's even released!
@@JessicaKobeissi
that’s a shame, i think you would like the R Series,
Canon & Sony are making the best cameras in the world at the moment, you can’t go wrong with either brand, but i prefer the ergonomics and menu system on the Canons
thank you for responding, love your videos here in England
@@JessicaKobeissi I upgraded from the 5D Mark IV (owned it since it launched in 2016) to the Canon R5. The upgrade was seemless, and the issues you mentioned with the EVF just don't exist with that camera! I let a semi-newbie photographer, and let her use the 5D for 2 months. She loved it. Then when I gave her the R5 to use, she refused to ever use the 5D again. Sony in particular does not have the best LCD screen for those bright days either. Just some thoughts! But watching your video was very intriguing, because your opinions didn't seem influenced, or just matching what everyone else says, so thank you for that!
I agree. If you are used to Canon images, look, handling, menus and files workflow, I would also recommend the R system. I found Sony to be to extreme in IQ and the handling and menus are something to REALLY get used to... and they just don't feel like a proper Camera in my hands, but then again for new shooters who have no reference, that is no issue.
Omg I am in a beginner photography class right now and started this past week. Literally this was the stuff I was supposed to read in my textbook. So glad this popped up on my feed and I got to refresh the information
Another banger video. I just made the Jump from an entry level Canon dslr to the Fujifilm X-T4 Mirrorless camera and I love it. It's powerful for photos and videos.
Super surprised you had issues with battery life. When my best friend who seconds shoots weddings for me who uses a canon 5D Mark IV (I use a Sony A7Riii) she has to change her batteries multiple times and I never have to change my batteries during the wedding day.
Also I can see so much better in direct like with the EVF over the OVF. I think it just takes a week or so to get used to.
Yes! I recently had to start changing my battery on my Canon 5Dmk4 more often too! I had a micro wedding and i had to change batteries after the ceremony!!
Great video, but a couple things
1. You can get that soft look based on the lens you use or use pro mist filters. I don’t get sticking with a dslr for soft images. Using a tamron 24-70 ART and a 1/4 pro mist I get that soft dreamy look while still nailing focus every time.
2. Nor have I ever had lag on any three of my mirrorless. And I was a DIE HARD DSLR person when mirrorless was becoming more popular.
3. I also don’t understand the battery thing. My a7iii and siii are phenomenal I’ve hard worse battery on my old nikon DSLRs. Plus you can always hook up phantom power with an external battery with just a usbc cable.
Reason why I recommend Mirrorless cameras over DSLR is because of the technology. DSLR are inferior to Mirrorless in every way no matter how many times people have tried to prove me wrong that DSLR are still better than Mirrorless, they always get shot down. Mirrorless has so many more features that makes it a great camera overall. Features such as Eye-autofocus, face detection, LIVE view, silent shooting, Electronic View Finder, 5-axis stabilization, 500+ focus points, and so much more. I dont recommend anyone to invest in DSLR cameras anymore since they are outdated and are still overpriced. The future of cameras is mirrorless and I'm glad that Sony invested so much into mirrorless back in 2013 or else we would still be stuck with DSLR to this day. In the next 5-8 years, we will see a shutterless camera when Global shutters or stacked C-MOS sensors becomes more affordable and better.
Not sure if it was changed, but by default the screens on Sony cameras aren't super bright, but the settings can be changed to make them much brighter. Definitely needed shooting on sunny days
Good video Jessica. You make some very good points in this video. Before you switch to Sony. I like to recommend to you that you try the Canon Mirrorless system like the Canon EOS R5, and R6 cameras. One benefit that you will get by going mirrorless with Canon is that you can still use your EF lenses on the R5, and R6 with the EF TO RF adapter. The tech in the R5, and R6 is really good. It's up there with Sony. The final choice is yours's , but i strongly recommend you give the Canon mirrorless system a try before you make your final decision.
If you shoot weddings and editorial type of photography there's no question that mirrorless is the way to go. You'll never miss a shot because wrong exposure or have to look behind the camera again which is way more artistic plus, the low light performance is out of this world. For studio, architectural and landscape etc., DSLR still relevant cause is cheaper and now you can get a pro level camera for less than $2k. Cell phones are getting super good cameras need to get better software to keep up w HDR on phones and realistic looking imaging. Cheers!
I just have a dumb question, when you are shooting in the studio with very close aperture, how you see the model with the mirroless
Generally a good discussion, but two major issues: 1. IQ: DSLRs do not produce softer images. What you are seeing are differences in lenses and at most different choices regarding Bayer-AA filters. Some DSLRs and MILCs use them, some don't. Also, due to the need to perform AF on the sensor, a number of (in particular Sony) mirrorless cameras can produce striping or banding artefacts. DSLRs that focus on still photography do not have these issues. 2. EVF. You should have made a bigger point about the lag the EVFs produce. For anything that moves, one is always a bit behind the action. The standard refresh rate also is anything but pleasant when panning. Some models offer higher refresh rates as an option but these eat into the battery even more so than the standard EVF usage already does. I find some of the stuttering that can occur with EVFs very off-putting as well. For instance, if one engages AF on a Fuji or Panasonic, the EVF stutters. Many EVFs reduce the resolution during AF. For someone who wants a WYSIWYG experience, EVFs can be great (except when you use flash), but for anyone who is easily irritated by lag, stuttering, temporary loss of resolution, artificial looking white balance, etc. an OVF is far better.
The striping banding in mirrorless/Sony cameras is probably because of the electric shutter not the mechanical one. If you switch to mechanical shutter it should be the same as DSLR.
I've seen soooo many videos on this subject and I can say that you have done in of the best and most comprehensive explanations eve seen. I understand more about them now. Tha ks for sharing your thoughts.
Exactly! I’m not as geeky as I think and I needed this subject explained on a first grade level. Bonus points for the drawing too 😂
@@keyonamonique LMAO THANK YOU I drew it myself with my 1st grade drawing skills hahaha
I think you will step your game up when you switch to mirrorless. It makes portrait sessions so much easier if you know what you are doing. Fast, reliable eye-AF and live-view are game changers for me.
Great Vs. video! I started off with a DSLR: Canon EOS Rebel T3i since 2013 and i now use a Mirrorless: Canon EOS RP. To me i love my RP wayyy better mostly because of how sharp my images are now. I feel as if i'll get use to the digital screen details as well! Also my T3i is soo old and i needed an upgrade.. 😉
This is fantastically helpful.
Thank you so much for this video! Been eyeing DSLR and your explanation definitely confirms my decision to get one to start photography
I love hearing you talk/explain stuff!! It’s so interesting and helpful
* I never had issues viewing my EVF shooting back-lit subjects. It comes down to how the camera is ergonomically designed to "cup" your eye. Composing thru the LCD in that situation, Forget about it.
* The sharpness differences comes down to native lens qualities. DSLRs generally focuses off the mirror metering overlay and calibration differences of Mirror point focus to Sensor focus can be slightly off a bit. What the OVF is seeing in focusing might not exactly coincide when the shot is exposed on the sensor, which is mostly why mirrorless is generally sharper on top of modern optical designs; the sensor is the primer point of focusing and native mirrorless system lenses are calibrated and designed For that sensor.
* I have to agree with the super sharpness of mirrorless which is why I like to adapt my DSLR/SLR lenses to my mirrorless from time to time.
* Getting into DSLRs long term is a risk being that DSLRs are currently being phased out as Mirrorless tech improves, but are still fun tho.
* Until Very recently, I was long into the camp as a sports journalist who shoots fast action, DSLRs with OVFs are unbeatable to capture that decisive instant moment when you see it with OVFs not having lag obviously [except the time it takes for the mirror and shutter to open], However, Nikon just announced their flagship Pro mirrorless camera that changed my opinion on that. It has no shutter and zero blackout, instant refresh rate in the EVF due to a separate processing power for that reason and tests have show it to be as fast as shooting with an OVF. But that is for extreme fast shooting with new AF tracking to match Sony's AF... oh and battery life on that camera is monstrous due to the Huge pro battery it has, rated as all day and more on one charge.
Like you said, research, research and research... and get what fits your shooting style.
I use both systems and lately I've been more invested in mirrorless going forward.
I do like the mirrorless camera, although I am more used to the DSLR. It does always amaze me how crisp the mirrorless pictures are. I think that a mirrorless camera is a little more complicated with all the filter settings an stuff. It's just what you're used to... I love my DSLR a lot!
I noticed on your mirrorless and dslr pictures the DSLR captured more details and lines especially on the clothes.
dslr cameras have the live view mode too which is looking at the screen on the back of the camera just like the mirrorless but drains the battery more quickly
Jessica I always come to you for advice on cameras, I love that you're shooting with Sony now too. The last time I was here you were saying how you ended your contract with Canon and you were excited to this! Love the follow through, definitely have got to check out your newer content girl! P.S. you're not helping me pick for my new camera 😖 lol but I love your honesty with "Don't by into the hype." Definitely figuring out my wants and needs that suite my personal preference.
You might like Fujifilm… X-Pro line has both EVF and OVF, amazing Fuji colours, some lenses have the softness you like and some have the Sony style crispness. Just buy extra batteries… haha
Nice video as always. There is no problem with exposing the mirror. It's the sensor that should be protected from dust n scratches.
I have been needing this video! Thank you very much, Jessica!
Excellent video! I learn SO much from your videos.
I hope DSLR cameras are still made for years to come. I am a relative newbie and just spent $$ on 2 (used Nikons) and several prime lenses: D5600 and D7500. I am learning and feel I just recently crossed a bridge to having a vague idea what I am doing...(now shooting manual). I like the long battery life, lens selection. As with all technology, eventually mirrorless will take over but I am going to wait...one, because they are EXPENSIVE, and two, in a few more years some of the bugs should be worked out, such as short battery life. Also, I do NOT want the camera to do it all....that is not creative...a true photographer should choose their own settings, not the camera or software.
This video came out at the right time! I'm starting my school career as a fashion photographer, what camera models do you recommend to start? I don't wanna spend a lot money (not more 1,300€). I saw your video where you recommended models to get started but it was some time ago. Thank you, sorry for my English (I'm Italian :) )
Per iniziare va bene anche una Sony A7ii (1160€ con lente kit), il problema sono sempre le lenti che costano (dipende da quello che vuoi fare), se vuoi andare su mirrorless, se vuoi andare su reflex non ti so aiutare
@@Comellato grazie! :) In realtà sono molto indecisa se mirrorless o reflex, non so se ha senso oggi investire in una canon 5D mark III o se comprare direttamente una sony
Guilia, i recommend to just go straight for the Sony a7iii. Do not get any of the 2nd generation Sony cameras like the a7ii, a7Rii and a7Sii as their focus points are too slow. Since you are wanting to make a career out of photography, a7iii will be the better choice as its price at $2,000 u.s. dollars right now
Thank you for the video. This is the best objective comparison. An old friend is better than two new ones. There is a lot of demagoguery in the comments, but the fact that you take gorgeous pictures with a SLR camera and you have a stream of customers proves your arguments in deeds and not just in words.
Thank you so much for this explanation! Super helpful! I'm going to upgrade from a Canon 5D Mark II (about time right, lol!) and wondering if I should go for the Canon 5D Mark IV (that has been my dream camera for years) or a mirrorless Canon camera. I feel like a mirrorless would be a huge leap, but also it's the future of technology? Still not sure what I should go for, but this really helped me understand the difference between the two!
have you thought about the R5 or R6? they're about the same price as a new 5Dmk4. rent one and see
Great video!! I believe some of the Fuji cameras like the x100v and xpro3 use both an optical and an electronic viewfinder!
Yes and it's so great, especially the hybrid viewfinder with the small zoomed in screen which helps a ton with manual focusing while keeping the optical viewfinder
Personally my Fav part of mirrorless cameras is the ability to adapt almost any lens especially vintage lenses.
On the viewfinder, funny thing is. an SLR was originally designed so you could see exactly what your camera sees with aperatures and filters applied rather than using a viewfinder on the side. Now with digital filters possible the EVF is the only way to get everything.
Would be interested to know if mirrorless cameras ever display photos taken via the EVF instead of the back so you can view in sunlight.
I've played with mirrorless from all three big brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony) and I've tried so hard to like them but no matter what I do, I just plain don't like them. But I'd damn near sell my car for a Canon EOS-1D X Mark III after trying one out for the first time (finally) yesterday! If you're looking for a piece of kit, the best thing you can do is actually TRY IT. The experience you have using a camera can make or break everything because in the end, it doesn't matter if it's the best model a company has released if you hate using it.
I switched to mirrorless back in June. It was a major adjustment with the body and re-doing my settings, but over all I enjoy using it. I still shoot my mirrorless like my DSLR bcuz I'm so use to looking through the view finder. A lot of my co workers shoot mirrorless and they don't bother looking into the structure of their camera body or learning how to use it manually. They'll tell me to have my ISO and apeture set to auto and I look at them like they're crazy 😳
I Will Always Full Watching Your Video 😊
From In India 🇮🇳
Thank you so much, for the explanation. I was exactly looking for a video like this and like to see the differences!
Love your shots as always. I also used to have the Canon 50mm 1.2 on a 5D and now have R5 and RF 50mm 1.2. Some of that increased sharpness is due to autofocus calibration which you need to do on a DSLR (but it's never perfect as it uses the mirror as you so eloquently explained). Whereas the mirrorless focus is directly on the sensor so no calibration needed. Also the new mirrorless 1.2's are HUGE due to new lens elements but much sharper than the previous 1.2s
Thank you! Thinking about switching to Sony bc I do lots of videos as well. It’s the battery!!!!!
I'm saving up to buy the SONY 7 model, I'm feeling very jealous seeing you shoot with one! 😂😭
Do you use back button focus?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.I have Canon 5DMark III but seldom used after buying mirrorless camera,which it can also provide awesome imaging quality. Like the mobie phone, the earphone, is a trend that people get more portable and lighter electronic equipments.
love the video, very well explained, blah-blah-blah! I can not focus on the information! Jessica, you look amazingly beautiful!
So helpful! Thank you 😊 I have had the Sony a6000 since I started photography in 2018. It was nice to get a more current comparison about the two as I am FINALLY considering investing in new equipment. It’s kinda wild because I started with mirrorless and now am considering DSLR when for most others it is the opposite.
I'm currently saving up to get a mirrorless camera because I heard their video specs are better, I'm thinking getting a Nikon Z6 with Atamos Ninja V to get that 10 bit video
I shoot nikon mirroless and often in direct light and although the back screen can be hard to view in direct light but I never had any problems with delays, glitches or having an image too dim to see.
Also the battery is good for a solid 3 hours of constant shooting.
Last 7 hour wedding I went through 1.5 batteries.
I do agree that DSLR gives a softer portraits look, but there is a “dream” filter in Nikon that gives same softness.
High ISO handling is amazing on my mirrorless if an image is exposed properly in camera. Exposure adjustments in postproduction can give grain which is expected.
That’s my experience but I have never shot other mirrorless brands. I do love the look that canon r6 gives. My second shooter uses that model and I love her images SOOC as well.
awesome review!! I just added bought an R6 after I tried it. I also tried the sony a7 but the R6 was such a nice experience. and the price is very interesting. so now I feel like I have the best duo cameras: 5DmarkIV and canon R6 ! been using them on a few weddings together its amazing! I love the 5D too much to leave it ! you explained beautifully the optic viewer experience especially when we have that shooting in raw mindset !
its actually the video capabilities of the R6 that made me do the switch : they have an integrated stabilizer and slightly less bulky with a gimbal XD (but the 5D also has 4K recording so no stress !)
Your video is super clear and easy understanding, and I totally agree with your opinion on DSLR, thank you!
Loved this video definitely gives me clarity. Thanks Jessica.
Great! 😍
What I'm taking from here: "I'm still using like iphone 2..." 😅
This was really helpful, you explained things well!
I would love if you could get the chance to try out the Canon R6 or R5! I’m thinking about getting the r6 and would love to see a video from you about it! 😊
Get the r6. Between the R5 , the R6 has Better low light capabilities. The R5 just has more mega pixels. I have the canon r6 I have two of them to be exact and i do all kinds of photography
Regarding the OVF vs EVF in low light: I understand where you are coming from but to be honest i find it to be completely opposite. When it's completely dark, on OVF you do not see anything. At all. On EVF you can see it bright, even if it preview may seem grainy and noisy.
When i shoot at home studio and i kill all the light except for the flashes, it makes huge difference for me, since i am able to focus at all.
Also i was quite surprised when you mentioned that you could not see anything on EVF in backlight situations. That never happened to me, even on such grandpa mirrorless like my A7II or Olympus E-M10 i had before that. Do you mean that the EVF seems to get confused about how bright is it supposed to be and for example darkens it too much when it should not?
I'm pretty sure you can change that in settings.
I was thinking the same things. Mirrorless are definitely easier to use in low light situations.
This video is great for beginners but I think it would’ve been better if you were make another video doing a comparison between a DSLR Canon and a mirrorless Canon.
I agree. It was apples and pears.
Darling in this case the hype is real. When I bought that EOSR, All my problems just went away. Actually my 5D3 is just gathering dust right more. It’s like shooting with a brick.
Mirrorless is definately the future. Once we have a way of using it with flash. That’s the end of dslr. Like finito.
Canon R6 and R5 get your hands on one of those. FABULOUS
Some of the differences depend on brand and model, not DSLR vs mirrorless. Eg @6:45, which depends on the jpeg setting (my DSLR has ~10 choices); you can adjust in post-processing anyway. Many DSLRs have touch screens and silent shutters, and all have an electronic live view screen. There is also no reason in principle for the M-Less pictures to be sharper, they use the same sensors and lens designs.
This helped SO MUCH omg. Thank you!
Thanks for explaining the differences.
You cane get a canon m50 aps-c and buy a speed buster it just makes it a super investment considering you cane use a M42 and a M32 adaptor ring on it and use old vintage lenses wich are very chipe and gives them new life
Jessica great video. I really like your work is amazing. Cheers!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It is understood that a mirrorless produce crisper images than a DSLR. This is not only because of accurate focusing of the mirrorless but mainly due to superior optics of the newly developed lenses for the mirrorless.
Thank you for the video. Found it really helpful.
This super helpful thank you.
This was super helpful. Can you compare the mirrorless - Nikon, Sony, Cannon?
She doesn't own them to compare
i have a sony, and sony lenses are usually more expensive than nikon or canon, so i bought an adapter and i can buy canon lenses which are very good, and they work very well, I recommend it if your budget is tight or if you already have canon or nikon lenses and you only want to change to mirroless body and use your other lenses
Well for me I would have to disagree on the part that it is hard to see when in harsh light with the evf. I have my canon R6. And I can see clearly everything and even on my screen. I live in miami where there is harsh light everyday. And I can see perfectly clear. Before my R6 I use to show with the 5D mark 4 and man what a difference. So much better 🤷♀️🤷♀️
To be fair, the only reason that A7IV is heavy is because there's a massive slab of 50 f1.2 on it. Stuff like that and the old Sigma stuff is dramatically heavier than Sony's GM or Sigma's new DG DN lenses for the mount. That's just the 1.4 lenses. The 1.8 and F/2 lenses are tiny little things.
I need a creative/artsy type of gf! Like always very informative video & great video Jessica thank you! Been a follower for many years!
LOVE YOUR HAIR...
I'm not sure about the battery life differences in that the DSLR batteries I have seen are much larger than the ones my equivalent Mirrorless uses. The batteries I use slip easily into a pocket and at the weekend I shot several thousand images on a single battery at a football match using high speed frame rates. Mirrorless don't have a mirror to physically move which saves energy and as longer as you use reasonable power saving settings you can shoot motorsports for hours.
I really want the A7IV. Sigh... lol. Awesome video.
Can you do continuous shots for self portraits without having to use a shutter button?
Mirrorless is my choice because I can see exactly what my sensor sees. But if battery life is your main concern, then mirrorless is not a good choice (unless you pack a bunch of batteries). One thing true of all cameras: there are always tradeoffs.
My canon r6 lasts me forever. Sometimes I be shooting for 6 hours. Never had an issue. But I always clear extra batteries with me just in case
aghhhh you look amazing 😭💜
Great video!
what camera and lenses do you mainly use ?
My mirrorless is amazing for not needing to do test shots but I find that i have missed candids at weddings because the mirrorless takes longer to wake back up and focus if you’ve not used it for a couple of minutes.
Great explanation! Also, you look so beautiful girl 🌺
Thank u for this video!!!
I left my concern about sharpness for more liberty in practice more creative and quick images. Not always sharp is more important, I prefer a soft skin and be more careful how the image talk to the peoples, the story she tells.
I have a 5DMK3 and it struggles in low light is it worth upgrading just for that reason. I’m using a 85mm 1.4L and at IS0 3200 the camera is always hunting to find focus.
Dslr's have mostly their proprietary lenses to use while mirrorless cameras can use even old vintage lenses that's one reason I chose mirrorless.
But those lens are still manual focus.
@@bngr_bngr I have no trouble with manual focus lenses I even have a sigma 85mm1.4 for night time and use it on manual focus and vintage lenses too.
Hey Jess, I was wondering if KEH is a reliable website to get second hand cameras from? I'm wanting to get a Nikon 850d soon and was just curious :))
I've been wondering why you haven't switched to a Mirrorless Canon yet
Me too!
I like seeing her with that huge Canon body.
My mirrorless camera I recently got really cheap was the canon eos m50 and my dlsr is the canon rebel t8i. I got both, just in case
I think that there is much more lenses for the Sony mirrorless system (including third-party lenses) comparison to the Canon DSLR system.
The price of Sony mirrorless don't go down much, hold value pretty well, even after years
I’ve seen hella beat up a7iiis sell for like 1400 and it debuted at 2k. It gives me hope because mine is chipped on the corners but is functionally still superb.
Typically, mirrorless have better low light performance which can be better for video. The DSLR is still king for organic image quality, but that is becoming very negligible these days. Everything else, you already said.
