p.1 #5 · p.1 #5 · Panasonic 100-400 or Canon 100-400 & metabones for E-M1 II? | |
I don't have any experience with the Canon 100-400 II on M 4/3, but I am going down a very similar path.
I just bought a Canon 80D and a 400 5.6 L to use on my Panasonic G85. The Canon kit arrives tomorrow.
I am migrating away from my Nikon DSLRs because of the ability to use the same Canon lenses on both systems, the 80D and G85. It is an enormous advantage.
What keeps me in the Panasonic camp is 4k video. But the Panasonic autofocus in video mode is still somewhat klunky at times, especially compared to AF in stills mode. So I am also looking forward to Dual Pixel Autofocus on the 80D in 1080 P video mode, with challenging subjects. Something like a Reddish Egret hunting, where it is impossible to manually follow their "dance", as just touching a long lens sets up crazy vibrations.
Note that the pixel pitch on both cameras is almost identical, so they have about the same number of pixels at the same "effective focal length"/ same crop. That is, a 16MP crop on the 80D also has about a 2x effective focal length, at least in stills mode. 4k video has an additional "crop"/ punch in to a 2.4x multiplier.
