Sony a7S III Versus Canon R5: Which Camera Footage Looks Better? - Fstoppers
Aug 07, 2020 2 mins, 1 sec
The reason for my hesitation is that Matti Haapoja is comparing the Sony a7S III's 4K footage, with the Canon R5's 8K footage; this undermines the test in a lot of ways.

However, I still found myself interested in the colors and "look" of the footage from both cameras anyway.

The R5 appears to give more true-to-life footage, where as the a7S III looks to my eye to be attempting to achieve better looking footage straight out of the camera?

Some people still claim that Sony cameras have a green tinge to the colors which may be true, though I think in this comparison that might be simply because the Canon's colors are warmer.

If the R5 could record 4KHQ and 4K60p without overheating, I'd choose the R5 over the A7SIII, especially since i have Canon lenses.

Indoors was more accurate, and he said the Canon had better colour (you could see it in the skin).

Day before he said "Sony now has better colours".

Difference is, Matti isn't a Canon Ambassador, but Peter Is.

He already has an R5, Canon Cinema Cameras and more.

When the A7III came out, Matti also said the Sony colours had improved and he was thinking of switching, but then later grew to hate that camera.

I personally know a couple pro photographers (including J. Marcus) who have shot the best from Sony (A7RIV), Nikon (Z7) and now say the R5 is better than both those cameras when it comes to image quality and much better when it comes to autofocus.

A few have done comparisons with the Fuji medium format cameras and say it's neck and neck for IQ and the R5 is "better in every other way"!

The 10% who need to shoot video professionally do NOT want a mirrorless camera, they need a dedicated cinema camera.

Almost all of the people who say they want the A7SIII are youtubers who also own Reds, Arri's, Canon Cinema Cameras, and/or at least one other high MP photo camera (Potato Jet and Matti H are prime examples).

With that said, the R5 video IQ looked better than the A7SIII in most regards, Matti had said "sony colours are better" the day prior, then "the R5 colours are better" in this video (then didn't set the proper white balance for the outdoor comparison).

We all love Canon colours Canon autofocus Canon lenses..
