I’ve shot with both Canon and Sony. I have gotten gorgeous images from both. The Sony cameras just didn’t feel good in my hand and to this day will take an integrated gripped body over a battery grip period. I’m not spending $6000 on a body then, spend $400 on a grip. When I shot Sony it was still recommended not to shoot in bad weather (rain). I’m sure that’s changed by now but, Sony glass isn’t cheap. Just depends on what you’re buying. The 70-200 GM is the same price as the RF equivalent. I just got the R3 and the 24-105 2.8 L. I can do everything with this combo weddings, portraits, landscapes etc. I don’t feel like this lens even needs to come off of this camera. The combo is just mind blowing!!!! If you need to switch though it’s all good at the end of the day when it comes to gear it’s just us pleasing ourselves when it comes to our work it’s us pleasing our customers. Customers don’t know the difference between 2.8 or 1.4 unless you tell them. I found the end of my gas with this combo the R3 is the best camera I ever owned. I was all about primes until this 24-105 2.8. Now I only own that and 16mm 2.8 (for little rooms) I might be selling that lens too😂

I switched to Sony mirrorless cameras way back in the day when all the other brands were ridiculing mirrorless. I came straight over from Minolta 35mm lol! The Sony A mount shared the same mount as my native Minolta glass at the time. People said that mirrorless was a poser camera and would never make it onto a professional tool. It’s been interesting to see that Sony disrupted the whole camera industry with mirrorless tech and now the other brands are trying to catch up. I built out my Sony E mount kit pretty well and enjoy it! People also used to criticize the limited E mount options of glass, and now that shoe is on the other foot as well. Since Canon had to make an all new mount, now they have much fewer options and Sony is the most supported ecosystem on the market. Where things are at now, I think all the big brands have compelling cameras and your point of shooting on whatever restricts your content creation the least is well said. I would honestly like to build out a whole second kit with Canon and have all the things! Looking forward to an A9iii vs R3 comparison 👍
Most people that geek out on slog and clog3 vs clog2, etc have customers that can’t tell the difference because they’re focused on the subject of the video, not the color grading perfection. This has kept me from going to Sony… as well as the ergonomics.
A9iii is super sick BUT i would like to see what the R1 has to offer? before giving up the R3.

Yeah, this, R1 will do almost as good as global shutter, but with better images. I also just don't like Sony's ergos, at all, and not a fan of their colors. Plus, CPS platinum is just such a perk.
Everytime a new camera come out KZreadrs make a "switching" video 😂 Do you guys actually shoot real work?

Same here... Been Canon since 2005, and R3's since they were released 2 years ago. But I'm also considering the move. The FX3 and a9iii looks like a killer combo.
great video! came here from your 28-70/f2, i'm 99% a photography guy, but the global shutter seems quite interesting especially in terms of flash sync speed. i'll need to research this more, thanks for a great video!
The A9 line has been a staple for wedding photographers since it came out. The a9iii is a perfect camera for this purpose. Additionally, the video side of the camera you wouldn't need the FX3 (TBH, in many ways has better AF and video features that are better than the FX3). If you combine this fact with all the great glass options (not to mention that the glass is smaller and lighter), I think it makes a lot on sense for you to give it more consideration.

Absolutely! Don’t think I’d get rid of the FX3 but the A9iii for sure looks like a great companion 🤙🏼 thanks for watching!
… got my a9 III last Thursday. It‘s amazing! So if you o.k. with the base ISO 250 (extended 125) go with it! 😀
One thing often not mentioned: the ergonomics of the body and the ease of use of the menus and buttons. In this disciplines, Canon is far superior. The R3 is even more ergonomic than the EOS 1 DSLR cameras were. I don’t like messing around with battery packs and small batteries that I have to change 4 times a day when I’m on a wedding. I photographed with canon since about 1998 or so. I switched to Sony for a short period around 2006. Then back to canon - the concept was still the same and so it is today. Since the EOS System came out, superior ergonomics, easy to adapt to.

@@holgersheimgymnastik Yep. My old raw photos from my Canon 6D just look better than my Sony a7iii photos, no matter how much I manipulate them. Hard to explain but they are just more flattering and timeless.
Enjoyed your video! Ive shot Nikon, Sony and Canon in that order over the last 20 years. For me, Canon is the clear winner for many reasons. Sony has a weak hot shoe that caused many problems for me shooting off camera flash. Also, the ergonomics are not great. Canon has the best customer service and for me, the best overall experience. Take care Josh.

You shoot most of the time with short lens why do you need such a fast action camera that is made for sports and wildlife? 😄 btw. Tony northup just made comparison and dynamic range is much better on Canon R3.
I dont even understand why people still buy into canon ecosystem.

You don’t switch systems for small feature boosts or because a camera is trending or even if a system becomes number one. You only switch systems if a system is hindering your style, or you aren’t inspired by the system anymore. I don’t understand what is making people trip about Canons ecosystem? If you take into consideration the RF glass combined with the adapted EF glass where’s the restrictions? I’m guilty of this so when I say people I’m included. We all make excuses for why we need to switch or buy something new when really we don’t “need” to switch or “need” to buy. There’s always a reason why and a reason not it’s just which reason is talking to you more? I know a girl still using her 2 Canon 5D Mark IV’s and will not switch to mirrorless yet and her work is still stunning. One last thing Canon is and has always been an “optics first” company. So yeah they are gonna take their time developing these amazing lenses they have put out and they took their dear sweet time entering the mirrorless race that’s why some options are running behind. But, the EF glass has character and works perfect on the R system.
U failed to mention canon CPS is da bomb
Canon is the apple in photography. Very simple and intuitive to use. Sony on the other hand... too complicated, menu too bloated. Bad skintone.

@@giljesusseraspe9225 i dont think so. I saw a video from manyortiz where he showed some flaws with the skintone. Try it out for yourself, shoot once horicontaly then verticaly and you will see a change in the skintone. Sony is far from acurate. Canon has the better skintones
Also Sony memorycards are freaking expensive..
Jump ship then the R1 gets released. Sony or other manufacturers don't make glass like Canon, period! Wished they would give us CLog 2 with the R3, and R1 better have.

It's getting harder to recommend Canon to others lol. Sony's roadmap looks more promising to creators from all different levels. From theatrical releases like "The Creator" to weddings and events, and everything in between. When Canon stopped listening to their customers, it's only natural for creators to vote with their wallets.

Yeahhh the RF availability thing is a kicker for sure 🤦🏼♂️ love the R3/R6II/R5 but so hard to be trapped into RF glass
You said that Canon lenses are super expensive. Have you not noticed that the cameras are very expensive. And Canon has created lenses that have never been created before. Now personally I am a Canon user. I don't use any third party lenses, nor am I rich. I actually go to my regular job and save up money to buy all of my lenses. I'm very glad that you have enough money to just switch brands. Personally, I wouldn't do it because I really like everything that is Canon. And the last time I checked, when I put a picture in front of a client, they can't tell what camera I shot it on or what lens I used. It's not necessarily always the camera, but it definitely is the skill of the photographer. I use the Canon R3 strictly for sports and nothing else. So all of that stuff about video means nothing to me. At this point, I have totally forgotten why I have gone on this rant🤣😅😂
ALL THE WORLD HAD TO WSWITCH!! AWAY FROM CANON the camera DEVIL!!!
There’s no brand that beats Canon in terms of of design and reliability. Sony’s cameras design sucks
