Take a look at the table above we can clearly see that Canon 1DX Mark II features better sensor and image processor and the killer combo responsible for upscaling the overall perofrmance of the camera.

Canon 1DX Mark II vs Canon 1DX — Sensor

The Canon 1DX mark II comes with slight increase resolution that will sure help commercial photographers to get more detail in the image that will sure help while taking out the large print-outs. More resolution also helps you while you re-compose your image while setting in the chair via digital zoom, however the 2MP difference won’t will never allow me to invest $5999 and buy a new camera instead of my current 1DX.

Introduction of Dual-Pixel CMOS Auto Focus sensor inside a Canon fullframe camera – Canon 1DX Mark II is the Canon first still FF DSLR to get the Dual pixel AF technology, although we have told you earlier many times that Canon will soon bring Dual-Pixel CMOS AF tech to FF DSLR after implementing it inside the 1DC cinema camera.

The other biggest difference is the ISO range- The Canon 1DX mark II enjoys 1-stop more ISO than its predecessor, the Canon 1DX was limited to 2014800 on the other hand the Canon 1DX mark II was limited to 409600.. so the 1-stop difference will allow 1DX mark II camera to get cleaner images in low-light condition.

Canon 1DX Mark II vs Canon 1DX Auto-Focus

Althoug the Canpn 1DX Mark II camera features same AF system as of the Canon 1DX camera but there are some sort of improvements take a look.

  1. All 61 AF point now work at F8 aperture, it will be a great help while shooting brids or any other subjects with telephoto lenses.
  2. Although the AF module remains same but the EOS-1D X Mark II’s AF algorithm has also been improved: it’s equipped with AI Servo AF III+, which remembers the AF path and helps refine precision. Whether choosing individual AF points manually, using the Large Zone AF area or any of the camera’s automatic AF selection modes, the EOS-1D X Mark II is designed to exceed users’ expectations for high-precision AF.

Improved RGB Metering Sensor (1DX 100K vs 1DX Mk II 360K)
The newly announced 1DX Mk II camera now features 360K RGB+IR metering sensor combined with Dual Digic 6+ processor that greatly contribute to the camera’s impressive AF performance for both stills and video.

The Canon 1DX Mark II can record 4K videos @ 60fps (1DX was limited to Full HD Video only)
The canon 1DX Mk II can record 4K (Motion JPEG)video at up to 60 fps, recording smoothly to CFast™ cards. It’s the first EOS camera able to record Full HD video at 120 fps. Users can select ISO upto 12800 for 4K video and 25600 ISO while recording Full HD video.

Introduction of Touch and Shoot Capability in 1DX series
The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera’s comes with a 3.2-inchtouch panel TFT LCD monitor has approximately 1.62 million dots Its new touchscreen function allows AF point switching and image magnification during Live View shooting and movie shooting, providing convenient operation.

New in-camera Digital Lens Optimizer technology
The EOS-1D X Mark II not only corrects peripheral brightness and chromatic aberration, but also features distortion correction plus diffraction correction, which has been included for the first time in an EOS camera. Distortion correction helps resolve barrel and pincushion distortions,while diffraction correction virtually eliminates the blurring effects from diffraction that can be created when capturing an image at a small aperture. The camera’s Dual DIGIC 6+ Image Processors help ensure these corrections can be made with virtually no effect on operational speed.

Verdict:  For current Canon 1DX camera users I don’t recommend you to upgrade your camera with Canon 1DX Mark II, I suggest you to wait for the next version Canon 1DX Mark III.

Nikon D500 vs Fuji X-Pro 2

Nikon D500 is an excellent camera and currently hold the flagship title of DX format line on the other hand the Fuji X–Pro2 is a flagship APS-C camera of Fuji.

Nikon-D500-vs-X-Pro-2-camer

Image size comparison by thenewcamera

The Nikon D500 features newly developed 20.9MP CMOS sensor and EXPEED 5 image processor, the camera feature a unbelievable native sensitivity range up to ISO 51200, which can be further expanded to ISO 1640000. Its almost un-matchable ISO speed of its class. The camera also features newly developed Expeed 5 image processor and it enables 4K shooting upto 30 min with the help of XQD cards. The other biggest advancement is the introduction of most advance Nikon AF Module inside the Nikon D500, Multi-CAM 20K 153-Point AF System features 153-point AF system, which features 99 cross-type points for fast performance..

From the above mentioned features we can clearly see that Nikon puts its all efforts to make a class leading machine.

on the other hand we have Fuji X-pro 2 camera…

The Fuji X-Pro 2 is a complete break-trough in terms of technology, the camera features ultra advance image sensor X-Trans III (3rd generation) that gives image quality equivalent to full-frame DSLRs. The camera ISO goes upto ISO 51200, which is somehow low compared to Nikon D500, the other big disadvatge of X-Pro 2 in front of Nikon is lack of 4K recording mode, the camera is limited to 60fps.

But the sensor technology used by Fuji is far advance than Nikon’s traditional sensors, the Fuji uses Hybrid X-Trans III CMOS AF sensor that features built in 273 points, of which 77 are phase-detection points, Approximately 40% of the imaging area is covered by phase-detection points. The use of X-Trans tech completely rejects the use of low-pass filter and in-return you get ultra sharp images.

 From the specification comparison table we can see that

Nikon D500 has lower sensor resolution: The Nikon D500 has lower sensor resolution, the sensor of the Nikon D500 is based on traditional CMOS sensor design and it is limited to Contrast based AF while user is using display or shooting videos. Fuji X-Pro2 camera does have bit higher resolution and it also features Hybrid CMOS X-Trans AF sensor that enables high speed AF all the time despite of lightening condition.

Low-pass filter is absent in both the camera, The low pass filter in D500 is physically removed and the X-Trans architecture based X-Pro 2 camera doesn’t requires any low-pass filter.

Image Processor: There variable parameters to judge a image processor of a camera, the Nikon D500 is able to process 4K UHD video, boost the High speed ISO upto 1640000. That clearly tells us that Nikon does have advance image processor.

AF system: The Nikon D500 AF system look bit inferior in front of the Fuji XPro 2 camera, the Fuji X Pro 2 camera features a high density AF system that composed of 273-Point AF with 77 Phase-Detect Points, Approximately 40% of the imaging area is covered by phase-detection points, on the other hand we have the Nikon D500 that features Multi-CAM 20K 153-Point AF System, 99 cross type AF points. The other most important part you should know that the Nikon D500 Phase AF is active only when you are using viewfinder and when you switch to Display or shoot video the contrast AF gets active. But with the Fuji X-Pro 2 camera the high speed AF is always active while you are using display or shooting a video.

 ISO: The Nikon D5500 features epic ISO range, now the ISO rating becomes a marketing gimmick for companies however bases on specification sheet the Nikon’s wins by a big margin and Fuji X-Pro 2 limited ISO 51200 look inferior.

Continuous shooting speed: Nikon D500 offers high speed continuous shooting speed compared to Fuji X-Pro 2 camera.

Nikon offers 4K UHD video recording capability on the other hand the Fuji is limited to shooting Full HD video only. 4K UHD movie image format is an area that provides a 1.5x increase in the effective focal length of the lens in use and is reserved for 4K 3840 x 2160 recording.

Nikon does have better display screen that touch operation and it is better than Fuji X-Pro 2 camera.

Verdict: Nikon have extensive lens support of its DX series D500 camera, features better ISO range and able to record 4K video, but the X-Pro 2 camera features advance AF system as well as 3rd genartion of X Trans CMOS Sensor will give more details at base ISO.

New users — If you are looking for a excellent machine and a dedicated still shooter you must go with Fuji X-Pro 2 camera, If you are a Still shooter as well as Videographer you must go with the Nikon D500.

Sensors:- Both the cameras Sony A68 and Canon 760D have same resolutions of 24MP .

Before we begin to compare the core specification only we must know that the type of technologies both camera are using, the Canon is a pure DSLR camera and on the other hand the Sony A68 SLT technologies based camera.

In SLT system the mirror doesn’t flip up anytime weather you are shooting via viewfinder of display uni.So, the bit disadvantage of the SLT system due to the fixed translucent mirror is the translucent mirror doesn’t flip-up and LESS light pass thorough the sensor, hence approx 10 to 20% of the light falling on the sensor is consumed by the SLT mirror and as a result the low-light performance is not up to the mark and on the other side the Canon allows full light to fall in the sensor by flipping-up the mirror hence the Sensor performance is optimal.

On the other hand the Canon 760D 19 point AF system is active when you are using viewfinder and when you switch to Live view the Hybrid AF system gets active. Hence the AF system of the Canon 750D is bit more complex but best for DSLR users.

ISO: Despite of having the same ISO range the Canon will perform better in low-light condition compared to Sony A68 SLT camera.

Continuous Shooting Speed:- Sony A68 has continuous shooting speed of 8fps while Canon 760D has 5fps. So, Sony A68 will perform well with better result during capturing fast action objects such as running train or flying birds or any action objects.

Videos:- Sony A68 captures Full HD video with high bit-rate 50Mbps XAVC S format at 60 fps while Canon 760D also capture Full HD 1080p Video Recording at 30 fps.

Hence, the frame per second rate of Sony A68 is definitely faster than Canon 760D, which makes the Sony A68 to capture videos faster compare to Canon 760D.

Verdict – We recommend you to go with Canon 760D camera if you are a still shooter since it based on better technology and also supports many EF and EF-S Lenses on the other hand the Sony A68 is recommend for sports and still shooters.

Sensors:- Canon G5X has resolutions of 20.2MP where as Canon G1 X Mark II has the less resolution of 12.8MP.

Canon G5 X has used the high-sensitivity Sony-made 1″ sensor and the same sensor sported inside the RX 100 M III, while Canon G1 X Mark II has utilized a larger Canon made CMOS sensor of 1.5”. keep in mind that Canon G1X mark II sensor is made by Canon.

The 1″ sensor of G5X combined with DIGIC 6 image processor that supports the camera to perform better in low-light conditions with reduced image noise. While the large 1.5″ CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor helps the Canon G1 X Mark II produces noiseless images during the low-light shooting.

Here, Canon G5X has small 1″ sensor and more resolution compare to G1X Mark II but due to the implementation of advanced technology and BSI CMOS Sensor, the G5X manages to gain the similar ISO range comparative to G5X. Both the cameras maintained the similar expanded ISO of 12800. Canon G5X captures 20.2MP files @ 5.9fps while Canon G1 X Mark II captures 12.8MP files @ 5fps.

Low pass filter:- Both the cameras have Low pass filter which eliminates the problem of moiré by blurring what actually reaches the sensor.

Optical Zoom:- Canon G1 X Mark II has more optical zoom of 5x compare to Canon G5 X, which has optical zoom of 4.2x. So due to large optical zoom of Canon G1 X Mark II, it is beneficial for those users who want to capture the far subjects.

Aperture Range:- Canon G5X has the bright aperture range of F1.8-2.8 while Canon G1 X Mark II has the aperture of F2.0-3.9. However the Canon G1X Mark II has large 1.5 inch sensor that will sure give you more depth of field compared to G5X camera by having 1″ sensor.

Image Stabilization:- Both the camera has advance HS system inside it that helps you to compensate the camera shake all the way.

AF System:– Both the cameras G5 X and Canon G1 X Mark II have similar contrast detect AF system, however by the nature of lens and the size of sensor the G5X will do bit faster AF than the Canon G5X camera.

ISO:– Canon G5X has the ISO range of 125-12800 while Canon G1 X Mark II has the ISO of 100-12800. Despite of mimicking the ISO range of Canon G1X Mark II we don’t expect the Canon G5X will give same high ISO out-put as of G1X Mark II.  Not only low-light sensor the camera will also give more dynamic range compared to G5X.

Shutter speed:- As we know the camera with more shutter speed gains more capacity in capturing the fast action subjects. so, looking at specification comparison Canon G1 X Mark II has better shutter speed compare to G5 X. Not only fast shutter speed the G5 X has better continuous shooting speed of 5.9fps compare to Canon G1 X Mark II.

Videos:- Both have common video specification. Canon G1 X Mark II supports Full HD 1080p movie recording at 30 fps in the Internet-friendly MP4 format while G5X offers full HD 1080p video recording at multiple frame rate including 60, 30, and 24 fps.Hence, G5X offers magnificent and superior images compare to G1 X Mark II.

View finder:- Canon G5 X has EVF viewfinder, which provides 100% frame coverage and also supports the users a better experience of live view image during photography and also allows the users to shoot better images in bright conditions without facing any problems.

But viewfinder is absent in Canon G1 X Mark II.

Verdict: Based on specification review we recommend you to buy Canon G1X Mark II camera that feature large 1.5″ sensor and will give you better image quality compared to Canon G5X camera.
