Nice photos!
Thank you for doing this, I also downloaded the raws from your previous video comparison and was playing with them.
Are those edited in capture one from scratch?
They look indeed very similar, I can’t say which one I like better or which one I think belongs to which camera.
The one on top has a bit of green in the shadows, and the one in the bottom a bit of magenta, so I would say that top is Sony and bottom is Canon. However, the one on top has a bit cooler reds (more Canon) where in the bottom one the

Nailed it. The bottom is Canon, good eye. I am trying to get a Canon again for a full shoot with it (now that the Godox transmitter finally arrived ..thanks Post office for the "small" delay!) and to perform extra tests that I couldn't do in the limited time I had.

I'm pretty sure, but I also hope I'm wrong ...


The other way around, top is Sony

Maybe you could add a few notes about what was done to each one.

The hair is different color compared to skin in both. But the images don't tell whether a global adjust was done to image color and white balance or selective areas. Although, that fact wouldn't change the meaning of the comparison much. There's pleny of similarity, especially with that small of a sample.

Were the steps done to one image, done to the other image to the same degree?



The steps were the same done to both images but of course, as a human, we don't exactly recreate the same amount of retouching on both images, I tried to but there is a limit to what I can do to perfectly match both hence the disclaimer "Just for entertainment"

I would say that they both have their own color cast when working with them but overall, to my liking maybe the Canon took a few less clicks on this particular image to match the look I wanted. But also it seems to take skins past where I want if I white balance it exactly where it should be where the Sony seems to land skin colors closer to where I want them when white balanced.
BUT take the above with a grain of salt until I get the R5 again and do more testing of these types of things. For now, all I can say is that I can work with either of the cameras perfectly fine and get results I will be happy with.

Maybe one of the most Honest, practical and unbiased comment on the topic of Canon vs Sony Skin tones posted 👍🏼👍🏼

One of the biggest differences to me between the images is the difference in the roll-off of the highlights and that the Sony appears to have more contrast.

But all or any of the roll-off, contrast, and color differences could result from differences between the Sigma and the Canon lenses rather than the sensors and internal camera processing. Also, the [edit] Sony [not Canon] image appears slightly more compact, which may result from the difference in the focal length of the lenses.

When you get a chance to use the R5 again, it would be great if you could use the Canon 85/1.2 on both.

Given the drama, was just a matter of time before somebody with the means and ability found and removed the Canon timer chip. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

For those wedging screws, toothpicks, tape and all other manner of work-arounds, Kolarivision posts a very practical warning worth repeating IMO:

“ I would approach any of these bypass strategies with extreme caution, as they will probably not only void your warranty, but potentially fry your camera from extended shooting.”

There is a reason, and probably not anything to do with the salacious consumer crippling conspiracies.

I don't think there is an RF to E mount adapter, is there? Probably easier to adapt the 105mm to the Canon.

Ah--for some reason I had assumed you were using the EF 85 f1.2L II, which could be adapted to either body. Either way, it would be nice to have the same lens on both, either the Signa, the EF, or something else.

I got it right.
Sony often has a slight magenta tint in the skintones and that's exactly what gave it away.
That's also the reason why I prefer #2. It looks more natural to me because it lacks that magenta in the skintones.

Thanks for the comparison!

Right! Argh, funny that when I look at them now I'd guess the opposite .
Anyways, Canon colors here look more lively to me for some reason, but maybe a tad too much even...

The important thing is that any paying client would have the same perception of quality from either camera. In the end, that is what counts.

I read Magic Lantern is already all over the R5.
I used ML for years on a GX1 and never never an issue, except for tons of more features.

I haven’t been paying attention to gear news for the last few months, but the new R5 offering from Canon sure is impressive. The a9/a9II still has an advantage with the whole shutter black-out thing for BIF etc, but this R5 has surpassed the a9 in other important areas:

- Way more resolution (with good ISO performance)

- Faster memory card (I still can’t believe Sony used an SDII card in the a9/a9II)

- Better viewfinder

- Vastly superior animal eye detection


….and for bird photographers, that last item alone makes a huge difference. The eye detect on the R5 is simply unbelievable from what I’ve seen & heard. The animal eye detect on the a9/a9II barely works by comparison. I was shooting moving, foraging birds yesterday, and very rarely saw the eye detection kick in, and sure enough, I had to delete buckets of images because the eyes were out of focus.

It would be foolish for me to make a switch to Canon, all we can hope for is that Sony steps up and makes significant improvements for the a9III. I want one tomorrow. I cringe when I hear sports-shooters like Patrick Murphy-Racey saying that the resolution is “plenty enough”, for there’s a risk that Sony might actually listen to him and not make an increase that most of us want.

From a business perspective, that's actually one of the least concerns.

I am amazed that anyone in business would consider having satisfied clients as "from a business perspective, that's actually one of the least concerns".

I would love to here what in your opinion is more important that satisfied client?

Profits of course. So said Milton Friedman and most businesses obliged.
