CANON EOS 1dx Mark1 vs 1dx Mark2

Did 2 round of simple test outdoor but the lighting condition seem not a good equal compare .. so finally managed to have both indoor to test both 1dx Mark1 and 1dx Mark2

very simple test

1. AV mode, F8 , meter at same area

2. ISO100 with exp 0, -1,-2,-3,-4,+1,+2

3. ISO200, 400,800,1600,3200,4000,6400,12800,25600

4. all with select portion to 100% crop

5. all picture open with Adobe Camera Raw (CC) and NO Noise reduction, sharpen

6. liveview with timer 2s shooting, on tripod

Physically , not much change but it do have the Liveview Video-Still switch which one of the MAJOR missing of mark1 !!!!!!!!!!!

*** not really accept noise level >6400 so just share the full size picture of 25600 … no 100% crop pictures

 

###############################################

for the simple test , my personal feel on the 1dxm1 vs 1dxm2

1. mirror shake seem less on mark2 especially the slow fps which is 6fps . mark2 seem seem almost no mirror shake at all

2. AF for liveview seem much faster for mark2 , non liveview seem faster too but not significant as the liveview AF

3. ISO from 100-3200 seem almost same at exposure 0 , mark2 may be slightly better than mark1

4. all pictures shoot within same environment , same ISO, same shutter speed, same aperture … but mark2 seem slight brighter especially on shadow area .

5. ISO4000-25600 …. hmmmm mark1 seem better at shadow area ?

6. for shadow area recovery for -1 stop seem not far different . but for 2,3,4 stops under… mark2 have better software capability to recover better …. much better ….

SONY A7S2 and CANON 5DM3 ISO test

index

got SONY A7S2 recently and I am going Penang for a shooting .. so decide have quick test on this new camera …

as usual below is standard setting, and Post Porcessing done on the picture

  1. MANUAL focus, same aperture,
  2. CANON using 2470 F2.8 II at ~55mm
  3. SONY using CZ 55mm F1.8
  4. MANUAL Mode ISO100,200,400,800,1600,3200,6400 (did through 51200 but think my accept level for both ~3200 so I just share up to 6400)
  5. Both Camera use standard ISO reduction
  6. tripod, timer for shooting
  7. AWB
  8. SONY Stabilizer mode OFF
  9. open both with CS6 (SONY use DNG Convertor convert the ARW to DNG and process same way as below)
  10. No Noise reduction at CS6
  11. Save as jpeg direct from ACR without any further processing
  12. to compare same size , resize all picture to 240 Pix per Inch and 4000 at long site

Overall the SONY A7s2 give good ISO performance  .. especially higher than 800 it seem little advance than Canon 5dm3 (before any Noise reduction)…
