The autofocus system on the 5D Mark II was terrible to put it mildly. It still is slightly disappointing when compared to the D600, but it is a solid performer as long as you understand it does have some limitations.įinally the 5D Mark III autofocus system is outstanding. The 11 point system will work perfectly well for those who shoot portraits or studio work and the ability to focus well in low light conditions make it a solid choice for wedding shooters. The 11 point system with only one cross type will pretty much rule this camera out for those who are wanting to shoot much in the way of action. The 6D autofocus works well in incredibly low light conditions and therefore instantly makes it a step up for owners of the 5D Mark II or 5DC. There are several options within the system that, along with the maximum 8fps make the 7D a perfect choice for sport shooters on a budget, or those who are simply looking for a reliable backup to their 1D range camera. The 19 cross type focus points track well and it works well in lower light conditions. This means for those who shoot in low light situations it will deliver consistently outstanding results.
FROM 5D MARK III VS 6D ISO
ISO 6400 is usable and above that is equal to the best in class. Almost a stop better than the 5D Mark II. The 5D Mark III delivers exceptional high ISO images.
There is very little either way, although I am sure it will be hotly debated among rival owners over the coming months. It is almost identical to that of its biggest competitor, the D600. They deliver a huge jump in noise for those coming from a crop sensor. It is very usable up to ISO 800 and will hold up above that, especially with a little extra post processing of the image.īoth the 5D Mark III and the 6D deliver amazing high quality images at higher ISO. That said though it does hold up well with other cameras in its class such as the D300. Noise is one of the major drawbacks of APS-C.
It will come as no surprise that the 7D is the worst performer here at high ISO. The pixel count difference is negligible with all 3 cameras offering plenty of megapixels, although it has to be said they are still quite a way behind the megapixel monster that is the Nikon D800.
FROM 5D MARK III VS 6D FULL
The only way that the sensor will influence your decision to purchase is whether you want the extra reach offered by the 7D or the lower noise at higher ISO and shallow depth of field offered by both of the full frame options. The 6D autofocus works well in incredibly low light conditions 36x24mm on the 5D3) being almost identical to that found on the original 5D. There is the obvious extra reach advantage to this sensor, especially for sports and wildlife shooters but obviously this comes with the price of noise at higher ISO.īoth the 6D and 5D Mark III benefit from newer full frame CMOS chip, although it has to be noted that the 6D is not quite a full frame sensor (35.8×23.9mm vs. The 7D is the oldest here and the only one of the three with a crop sensor.
FROM 5D MARK III VS 6D UPGRADE
How do these models stack up though, for those looking to upgrade this holiday season? The question is obviously where your money should go, so let’s compare three of Canons most wanted cameras the 7D, 6D and 5D Mark III. They unveiled quite possibly the most anticipated release of 2012 in the 5D Mark 3 and, just in time for Christmas their answer to the D600 in the 6D. I have a family photoshoot coming up this october and looking forward to get the new camera for the shoot.Canon, like Nikon have had a busy year with regards to their full frame camera releases. Your suggestions and inputs are very valuable. Since both 6d ii and the 5d iii are around the same price, need suggestions as to which one would be a good investment ( knowing would like to pursue photography as a part time in the near future). The 5d iv is another thing i started to consider but i am not much into videos and probably could use that difference to acquire a new glass. I like the newer 6d ii as it sports a newer sensor and have some good bells and whistiles like the higher MP, WiFi, GPS, Tilt swivelTouchscreen etc compared to the 5d iii but the latter having more AF points , dual slots and faster shutter (not sure how often i will use 1/8000 ))
I have acquired couple FF lenses in the last year and currently using them with my rebel t3i (yes, it is an old camera but still able to get a lot from it). I am a hobbyist and looking forward to pursue photography as a part time. The biggest thing i am debating is whether to go with the new Canon 6D Mark II or get the 5d Mark iii. I am looking for an upgrade from my current APS-C camera to a FF.
