Why do we have to choose the Canon EOS 6D Mark II? 

The EOS 6D Mark II camera puts full-frame performance into a compact, fully featured DSLR. Its 26.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor help convey stunning outcomes even at extended ISO settings, making it awesome for testing low-light circumstances and additionally scene, picture and occasion photography.

What's more, the bargains in the 6D II are to a great extent the same as those made by the 6D preceding it: The bigger sensor is counterbalanced by a lower-spec self-adjust framework obtained from the EOS 80D, an absence of 4K video, and a shade system that tops out at 1/4000 sec, to give some examples.

Be that as it may, the EOS 6D Mark II has a great deal to offer. It is littler and lighter than a 5D IV, its articulating screen makes it less demanding to work at odd points, and in particular, it's a reasonable passage into the universe of full-outline Canon glass and expanded profundity of-field control contrasted with correspondingly evaluated cameras with littler APS-C sensors.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II Key specifications:

New 26MP CMOS full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel AF

1080/60p video capture with in-lens + digital stabilization

45-point all-cross-type AF system

Dual Pixel AF for both stills and video capture

ISO 100-40,000 (expandable to 102,400)

6.5 fps continuous shooting (4.5 fps in Live View)

3" fully articulating touchscreen

Wi-Fi w/NFC and Bluetooth

Built-in GPS

Quite a lot's changed since the arrival of the EOS 6D though, with not only Nikon offering some very tempting competition in the shape of the D610 and D750, but Sony's Alpha A7 and A7 II offering another affordable route into full-frame photography. For stills shooters, the Pentax K-1 is in a somewhat different league, offering much higher resolution and build quality.

Canon claim that the EOS 6D Mark II camera is designed to keep up with the action. Its fantastic shutter, advanced AF and exposure and image processing systems help ensure virtually instantaneous response and performance at up to 6.5 fps, even at full resolution.

Being a DSLR, the 6D Mark II begins up and begins taking pictures rapidly. Live view begins up in just shy of one moment, however in the event that you leave the camera in 'video' mode, it will take a couple of moments upon startup before you can really start recording video.

If you are not too dizzy with the type of camera, whether a compact camera or a regular DSLR, not a full-frame camera, would you entrust your photography activities on a premium smartphone?

A professional photographer may have different opinions, as well as those who want to seriously pursue photography as a new hobby or profession. The question is: what kind of photographer do you belong to?

Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3

By   8:33 PM   No comments:

Canon EOS 80D not only got tougher competition from mortal enemies, namely Nikon, such as the Nikon D5500, or other D series. In fact the 80D also got an amazing competitor from Sony and Panasonic. Now you can see the fight between the Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3, which is certainly very interesting. They have different body types and systems. Of course you will also find similarities. Let's see together, so that you can make a good decision before choosing one of these great cameras. 

As we know Panasonic GH3 is a Mirrorless camera with a 16.0MP Four Thirds sensor whereas Canon 80D is a Semi-Pro DSLR camera with a 24.0MP APS-C sensor.This is a very fundamental difference. Lately, mirrorless cameras become an important alternative for photography fans, because this camera type camera has a smaller body, as well as lighter weight than a DSLR camera. Additionally engineers of mirrorless cameras have managed to improve focus speed, so that makes the difference is more interesting. You may turn to the Panasonic GH4 which reportedly has a focus speed is better than the GH3.

 

Canon EOS 80D vs. Panasonic GH3. Image: cameradecision.com

Panasonic GH3 major specs:

• 16MP - Four Thirds CMOS Sensor
• ISO 200 - 12800
• Micro Four Thirds Mount
• 3 inch Fully Articulated Screen
• 1744k dot Electronic viewfinder
• 20 fps continuous shooting
• 1920 x 1080 video resolution (Full-HD)
• Built-in Wireless
• 550g. 133 x 93 x 82 mm
• Weather Sealed Body

If you are very concerned with image sensor size or resolution, the Canon EOS 80D has a higher sensor, 24 megapixels, while the Panasonic GH3 only 16MP, with the Four Thirds CMOS Sensor technology. However, according to cameradecision.com, Since the 80D has an APS-C sized sensor and the GH3 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, Panasonic GH3's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the EOS 80D lenses. Was it true?

Of course you have to prove yourself by making a few photos from both cameras, such as portraits, macro, scenery, and what if you use when making a photo in low light conditions. In addition, it should also be compared if used to photograph sports like car racing, football and other action photographs.

If you want to make a film or video, both the EOS 80D and the GH3 both can rely on to make videos in Full-HD resolution, even Panasonic GH3 classed as the best camera in the field of making video or a movie.

• 1920 x 1080 video resolution (Full-HD)
• Built-in Wireless
• 730g. 139 x 105 x 79 mm
• Weather Sealed Body

Canon EOS 80D has a 1.5x larger sensor area than Panasonic GH3. It is true that the larger sensor will give the photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture. 

However, this is not the main thing because you can choose another lens provided by Panasonic, as well as there is free software to manage your photos on your laptop or your PC. It's Turns out Panasonic GH3 very great for street photography, while the EOS 80D is suitable for making portraits both in the studio and outdoors. Apparently, the camera has no image stabilizer on their bodies. The solution is to choose a lens that has a OIS (Optical Image stabilizer) feature  or something like that. Although they have certain differences, both cameras are always good for everyday photography.
