Pro Camera body vs Pro Camera Lens: Which one makes the difference?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Is it more important to have a pro camera body or a pro camera lens? We know what you’re thinking, you want ‘both’! But what if you’ve got a low-budget camera body and you want a pro lens to go with it? Is this going to be better than using a pro camera body with a budget lens? Well, we’re putting this to the test here!

Agree. When I started as a hobbyist in 2005, I had entry level Rebel XT and 70-200 f/4L. That was what I started my biz with 4 years later. Ever since, I have always advised friends that, if you can’t buy both pro lens and pro body, always spend your $ on the lens.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great advice lenses last longer
and also it's easier to find a budget lens that performs really good than an equally budget body that also performs good, so especially for video there are cases where you're gonna want to get the better body instead
I had a GF1 and upgraded to a G85, a mile worth of difference for video, and the ISO noise performance for both stills and video is insanely improved compared to the GF1, so much better dynamic range for stills, IBIS and dual IS compared to no stabilization, etc.
but yeah, if your lens is just not that good, it's gonna tank the performance of any good camera body, i say get a really good budget lens and then an older but mid-tier body and you can get really good performance that way
Using rfs lens on a fullframe will result to loss of resolution on the r5. You are left with around 17.5mp. In my opinion the better lens to use is the rf 50mm f1.8 and the rf 50mm f1.2. To really get a good result. Well. Maybe it's just me.
or even just the 24-50 full frame kit lens on the r5, and an rf 35mm 1.4 on the r100
@@paololarocca7684 yeah. That's another good suggestion.

Looks like pro lens wins to me Marc!
Funny thing… I own that 85mm f/2 “pro” lens and recently bought the RF 100mm f/2.8 L macro in hopes of being able to sell the 85mm. I’ve yet to be able to compare them on the R6 Mark II but I’m going to throw in the RF 24-105 f/4 L to the mix when I do compare them. I really feel I won’t need to keep the 85mm when that’s all said and done. I can recoup about $300 by selling the 85mm to MPB or KEH and I really think that’ll be a good idea. I’d like to get the 14-35mm f/4 or 70-200mm f/4 instead, I just don’t know which would be smarter. Especially since I own the budget RF 100-400mm lens. I’m leaning toward the 14-35mm. I just really want the 70-200!
I’m a bit more old school , 1dx + 70-210 f/4 IS USM , works a treat 😉
Love the video though , great example of what’s really important,
“it’s all about the glass”
(Please note , favourite lens at moment, is the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art) 😊
Usually the lens makes the difference, except in some circumstances like with wildlife and sports, the body may also play a role. But even so, the PHOTOGRAPHER is the most important thing. A skilled photographer with a kit lens and mid-range camera can probably create a better compostion than a newbie with a pro camera and pro lens. But if given the choice, always get the best glass you can afford and skimp on the body if you have to because it's what will impact image quality the most probably in terms of sharpness. Now many kit lenses these days are quite sharp and sharp enough for the average person, but the general advice is to buy better lenses, and skimp on the body if you have to.
Neat video. I'm a hobbyist recently getting back into photography. I agree that the shots from the prime look better. The kit lens here has some pretty big limitations with its apertures, but even so I like the headshot with the trees repeating into the background. Skill is the most important factor, I think! I do wonder how far this goes. I don't know Canon's products, but it looks like they have an 85mm f/1.2 lens that sells for $2,600 or so. Is that noticeably better than the 85mm f/2? Or would the difference depend on 'pixel peeping."?
Thanks for sharing 👍
Auto focus is significantly bettter on the 1.2
That’s why it’s for professionals and not for hobbyists
I’ve recently started photography and my first purchase is the Canon R50 with the nifty fifty lens, and to be honest they look really good
Good choice!
I've always put two-thirds of my budget on lenses and one-third on cameras. It seems to work.
Can’t disagree with anyone here. Buy the Pro glass every-time.
Pro lens+ budget camera seems better
I agree, the lens makes all the difference 😊
A bit of correction! With the R5 MKII out now the R5 is no longer 4,000 pounds. If you go to WEX photography right now they are selling it for 3,649.
It's all about the glass.
I think all photos look brilliant
please compare the mobile apps that connect to mirrorless cameras: cannon camera connect vs sony imaging edge vs monitor+ vs ....?
Beautiful ❤️ thanks for sharing your wisdom
You are so welcome
Marc, I agree with you. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it Michael 👍
Well to be honest...you should have used two zoom lenses or two primes, because primes always are sharper than zoom lenses, even with nowadays improved technologies. But overall...Nice comparison. Greetz from Belgium.😊
Agree with you 100%. Superb video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'll take the pro body every day, for the user experience. I actually like cheaper lenses and tend to use them a lot more than the high end stuff, even when both are an option.
Nothing to see here just 2 guys in the woods with a camera!!😂
Absolutely night and day. As much as everyone always says this, seeing it is mind boggling.
Thanks Dan 😊
Thanks for the video and the test. I feel that comparing the 24 - 105 kit lens @ 85mm mounted on the R5 with the @85 mm prime lens mounted on the R100 would have been a fairer comparison. Also it depends on the look you're going for. Creamy bokeh isn't for everyone. The test just goes to show how good the R100 really is and that for most of us buying a high end camera would be a waste of money
Using super sharp lens for portraits is not a good idea. You see all skin imperfections. Imho
