Canon EOS 7D Mark II vs EOS 5D Mark III Hands-on Review (DigitalRev)

Watch DigitalRev’s Kai compare the Canon EOS 7D Mark II to the EOS 5D Mark III. Kai takes both out for a spot of bird photography to test the two cameras out. A Sigma APO 150-500mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM and Sigma 1.4x Teleconverter are used.

Read more about the EOS 7D Mark II’s highlights: the excellent weather sealing, the highly advanced AF, and the industry leading high ISO performance (have a look here too). All our coverage on the EOS 7D Mark II can be seen here (and there is a lot).

UPDATE: (thanks) the EOS M3 is compatible with Canon’s EVF-DC1 electronic viewfinder first released for the Powershot G1 X Mark II.

Thanks to the reader who posted the links in the comment section we have more pics of the upcoming EOS M3, front and back. As you can see it has a tiltable display and a pop-up flash. It seems Canon listened to their customers.

What else do you see in the pics?

Canon RumorCanon Rumor

I got some specifications (thanks) for the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (we expect the announcement in August 2015).

It’s not much and it is what common sense easily suggests the EOS 5D Mark IV might feature. The 4k rumor is not new. The rumor says the EOS 5D Mark IV will sport all the latest Canon technology, and lists (I give some subratings):

  • 24MP sensor – (CW2)
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF III – (CW4)
  • New and more advanced AF system (compared to EOS 5D3) – (CW4)
  • 4k video – (CW4)
  • Anti-flickr technology (seen first on the 7D Mark II) – (CW4)
  • Improved video features – (CW5)
  • Crop mode (featured on the upcoming EOS 5Ds) – (CW3)
  • ISO 100-51200 (H1: 102400, H2: 204800 – (CW3)

Not much to be honest, and nothing you wouldn’t expect after a bit of reasoning. Since the feature set is at plausible, I rate the overall rumor CW3 even if it comes from a new source. Stay tuned for more.

About our rumor rating:

  • CW1 – probably fake rumor, not reliable
  • CW2 – rumor from an unknown/new source, but otherwise at least a plausible rumor
  • CW3 – a 50% chance to be real, coming from a known source, or from new source with good insight in Canon’s business
  • CW4 – rumor from a known source that was right in the past
  • CW5 – as good as certain to be true
