Reasons For Switching From Sony To Canon (who needs reasons?)

Cano Eos R5 Vs Sony A7r Iv
View Post

I do not know this guy but with this decision he seems very clever to me ;-)

Nick Page decided to switch from Sony to Canon. Smart move. Here is why he did it (emphasis mine).

Over this past year, I have learned that there is more to a camera than spec sheets and DXO Mark ratings. My Sony cameras have not been holding up to the abuse I put them through and it has left me wanting something more durable that can hold up to the abuse of a Landscape/Seascape photographer.
This is the story of why I switched back to Canon.

MELVILLE, NY, November 16, 2022 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced today a multi-feature firmware update for the EOS C70 4K Digital Cinema Camera. The batch of feature upgrades coming via a firmware update will help to improve workflow and functionality for the content creation, live production and documentarian markets. The firmware update will be available as a free download on December 8th, 2022*. Top upgrades include:

  • Eye Detection Auto Focus (AF), Face Detection AF, and Subject Tracking AF During Slow and Fast Recording (24-120p): Canon’s Eye AF, Face Detection AF, and Subject Tracking AF allows for more accurate auto focus performance at accelerated frame rates, helping to ensure you don’t miss that crucial shot.
  • XF-AVC 4K Intra-frame 60p: Newly added XF-AVC Intra-Frame 60p records at a bit rate of 600Mbps and offers users a lightweight, high-quality codec that helps to minimize storage costs and speed up file transfers. This new file format allows for easier handling of files and the capability to record to an SD card.
