Panasonic G9 + CANON EF500mm F4 + Viltrox EF-M2II : TEST1

I am Canon user for long, and recently I have my Panasonic setup slowly build up. I like my L lens and my G9 ….

one day, someone told me . I actually can use all my L lens on my M4/3 G9 . Due to busy work schedule, I dont have time to look into it until last week. I finally have time purchase one online and test it last 2 days … I did very quick test more testing would like to do

1. AF accuracy

2. AF performance

3. can both Len and Body Image Stabilizer work together as Panasonic Len ?

if all above work well, than I would prefer to use my G9 on my Canon EF500mm F4 IS2 ….

1. pre-burst mode for G9

2. Dual IS – IBIS and Len IS

3. internal 4k , 30fps 10bit log (and future I can get GH5 for more)

4. 180fps slow motion

etc

so TEST1 – AF performance

I try both 500mm (outdoor), 1635F4IS (indoor)

BOTH give me very fast AF .. and very accurate (no fine tune done on my adapter). the new eye AF work fine with human , but not really work on big bird (buffy Fish Owl) and small bird .

TEST1 (click the picture for actual size view)

CANON EOS 5Dsr vs SONY A7r2

I did a quick and simple test on both new camera that come with big megapix … CANON 5Dsr and SONY A7r2 … both camera use the same len which is CANON EF TS-E 17mm F4 (SONY A7r2 with Viltrox Adapter) , same filter Lee Filter GND .4h and HAIDA 100mmx100mm CPL

we did not use same tripod but put both site by site so the view slight different by ~5 degree different …

both camera

– F13

– MF on the bridge end

– timer shooting

– M mode

– Auto WB

– ACR save pictures , contrast +5, Clarity +10 ONLY .. and no noise reduction

2.4 ISO1600

CANON 5Dsr ISO1600
SONY A7r2 ISO1600 crop100%
CANON 5Dsr vs SONY A7r2 ISO1600 100% crop

 

*** I do not share any higher than ISO1600 as we can see the quality have been drop since ISO800 … and I think I would limit my use ~1600 for important photo.

 

Overall , here are some different for me .. (for landscape photography concern)

1. 5Dsr weight ~845 gram vs ~625 gram

2. tilt screen on SONY A7r2

3. Battery life 5Dsr is longer but it is different size

4. both ISO performance about the same (without noise reduction) , 5Dsr have slight more noise and details over ISO800 and about same for under ISO800

5. Shadow and high recovery both perform same .. 100% shadow recovery show acceptable result .

6. SONY seem lost orange/red tone , give more cold color

7. both give good details , and at highlight area CANON give more info
