Latest patent document surfaced over the web suggest us that Canon is working on a variable low-pass filter. Adding a variable low-pass filter to DSLR will sure increase the image quality of the camera. Many of the Pentax DSLRs are using the variable low-pass filter from past few years but Canon is still in the process to implement it.

Canon 5D Mark IV review done by Tony Northrup against Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon EOS 5DS R, Nikon D810, Sony Alpha a7R II, and Pentax K-1. A Nice Video comparison video where you can see the performance of the camera against other professionals mirrorless and DSLRS.
Even after the announcement of Canon 5D Mark IV Tony is preferring to keep the Canon 5DSR for portrait / studio work due to the enormous amount of details camera produces – for more details see the video

Canon 7D Mark II camera features 20 Megapixel CMOS sensor and Sony A6500 camera feature 24 MP sensor. ISO range of both the camera is same.The camera sensor size of the Sony A6500 is little big compared Canon 7D Mark II. We all know that the Sony A6500 camera does have the same sensor as of A6300 but due to thin copper wiring, enhanced circuit processing, and an enhanced front-end LSI we may see major improvement in image quality of the camera.
Sony A6500 camera features built-in image stabilization system to compensate camera shake upto 5 stops the other big advantage you get that OSS based lenses Image stabilization system will get synchronized with the in Body IS of A6500. No Built-in IS available inside the Canon 7D Mark II camera.
But the most important thing is both the camera is designed on different technological background, the Canon 7D Mark II camera features Dual-pixel CMOS AF sensor whereas the Sony A6500 camera uses Hybrid CMOS AF sensor. With the Hybrid AF system the camera Sony A6500 camera offers 425 Phase AF points and 169 Contrast based AF points. So you get a entire display covered with dense AF that will track and lock AF in no time. Sony A6500 AF system is more advance compared to Canon 7D Mark II.
The continuous shooting speed of the Sony A6500 camera is superior. The A6500 Can shoot 11frames per second @ 24 MP whereas Canon 7D Mark can shoot 10 frames per second @ 20MP. The large buffer inside the Sony A6500 can intake 301+shots of JPEG files in single burst mode and 107 RAW frames.
Sony A6500 captures 4K video mode whereas the Canon 7D Mark II limited to Full HD video mode only. The A6500 2.4x oversampling renders greater detail and full pixel readout is possible and there is no pixel binning. Sony A6500 Full HD 1080p recording can be done @ 120 fps whereas Full HD Video recording of the 7D Mk II camera remains limited to 60fps only.
On the rear side of A6500 we have touch screen that allow user to capture images just tapping. The other major advantage is we can use the display screen as touch-pad to select AF point while we are looking through the viewfinder.
Canon 7D Mark II features twice battery life compared to Sony A6500.
The weight and Size of the Canon is twice as of Sony, So if you prefer light-weight camera or you work continuously for hours than Sony A6500 is best for you.
Sony A6500 vs Canon 7D Mark II – Sensor Test
From the sensor test conduct by the DXO Mark Lab it’s very clear that despite of having same ISO range on paper the DXO given a better low-light score compared to Canon 7D Mark II.
From the test score we concluded that
The Sony A6500 Showing better portrait color depth
Sony A6500 showing better dynamic range then the 7D Mk II
Low light score of the Sony A6500 is also good when compared to 7D MK II
Now Finally time for some real test – We are comparing High ISO Test images against Each other
Sony A6500 vs Canon 7D Mark II – High ISO Test
@ ISO 6400
On the left side we have Sony A6500 and on the right side we have Canon 7D Mark II camera.
Both camera set at ISO 6400 setting and we are surprised to see that Sony A6500 is able to grab bit more details compared to the Canon 7D Mark II camera. The other reason behind the better perofmrance of Sony A6500 is 24 MP sensor whereas the Canon 7D Mark II camera features a 20 MP sensor .
Verdict
Sony A6500 does offer superior specification compared to Canon 7D Mark II camera. You get more resolution with big bigger sensor, 5-axis image stabilization and Advance Hybrid AF mode. The continuous shooting mode of the A6500 is better as well as you also get touch screen for more convince. We recommend Sony A6500 over Canon 7D Mark II camera.

Get first report here on Canon 5D Mark IV Latest Reviews, Canon 5D Mark IV camera visited DXOMark lab and as expected it’s score is above all Canon DSLRs announced till now. Dpreview also awarded Gold award to Canon 5D Mark IV.
Canon 5D Mark IV crowned as the best Canon camera ever tested at DXOMark Lab. According to DXO Mark
The significant sensor improvements over its predecessor in both resolution and dynamic range makes the new 5D Mark IV look an attractive upgrade for Mark III owners shooting weddings, events, landscapes, editorial and advertising work,” they write in their Mark IV Review Conclusion, “as well as for photographers stepping up to their first full-frame camera.
The next bench-mark test done at dpreview lab and as expected the Canon 5D Mark IV won the Gold award with 85% of score. Take a look at the conclusion below
With the EOS 5D Mark IV, Canon has further refined its semi-professional full frame all-rounder. With a solid build and improved weather sealing, faster burst speed, increased resolution, increased dynamic range, updated autofocus system and Dual Pixel live view functionality, the Mark IV will be as much camera as many people need, even if it doesn’t revolutionize the 5D-line the way its predecessors have.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Canon 5D Mark III Canon announced 5D Mark 4 camera just while ago and we are here to compare it with its predecessor Canon 5D Mark III.
We have carefully selected only those points who can show the actual difference from its predecessor for example effective pixels, dual pixel-raw and while using a F8 aperture. Now let’s look at the comparison below.

Canon developed entirely new sensor for its 5D Mark 4 camera. Without compromising with the sensitivity of a camera canon added 30MP full frame CMOS sensor with dual pixel CMOS auto focusing system to enable fast AF during video and still shooting. The standard ISO sensor of range of 100-32000, which can be expanded to ISO 50-102400.
Dual pixel RAW
If you shoot images in Dual-pixel RAW mode then while editing in canon dp pro software you get two options, micro-fine tune AF adjustment and Bokeh shift. More details here Understanding Dual-pixel Raw
AF points at f/8
Up to 61 points / 21 cross-type AF points (all individually selectable)
AF points at f/8: Canon 5D Mark IV 61 AF points as well as 41 cross type are compatible down to F8 aperture and also works down to EV-3. Whereas, the Canon 5D Mark III only 1 AF point was active when you have selected F8 aperture.
Canon 5D Mark 4 camera features contrast detect CMOS sensor so there is no chance that it can compete with the recently announced Canon 5D Mark 4 camera with dual pixel CMOS AF Technology.
Canon 5D Mark IV features Continuous Shooting mode of 7 frames per second @ 30 MP. whereas, the Canon 5D Mark III remains limited to 6 frames per second @ 22.3 megapixel.
Burst while using live view display, Canon 5D Mark IV camera can shoot 4.3 fps burst while live-view is ON and it will do continuous AF without and issue.
No 4K video recording option available in Canon 5D Mark III. The Canon 5D Mark IV is able to record 4K video at Digital Cinema (DCI) standard 4K (Motion JPEG) videos of 4096 x 2160 pixels at up to 30 or 24 fps. The Canon Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor inside the EOS 5D Mark IV enables touch AF while recording 4K video. EOS 5D Mark IV is equally able to shoot Full HD video at up to 60p plus HD at frame rates as high as 120p, ideal for smooth slow-motion video.
Conclusion: We highly recommend you to buy Canon 5D Mark IV camera, the camera features excellent core specification compared to its predecessor.
Canon 5D Mark IV vs Sony A7R II vs Panasonic GH4 High ISO Video test done between all these three ultra-popular camera. Before we begin just take a look what Tony said about the test
If video usability is important to you, we recommend the GH4. If video quality is more important, get the a7R II or even better, the A7S II. Order the 5D Mark IV at (though clearly not for its video capabilities)
I always look test videos carefully before I publish them to my blog. So, while looking at the 5DMK4 latest test video I always noticed the Canon 5D Mark IV sample is more sharp (at 100%) compared to Sony A7R II and Panasonic GH4. Why?
It may be due to several reason, type of lens used or may AF was not set on tony face, whatever. But again, if I look at the test video 5DMkIV sample look more sharp and usable.
