    The new Sony color science has almost caught up with Canon. I love my A7IV and the pliability of the RAW photos is insane. It actually has the best dynamic range of any regular mirror less camera on the market if I’m not mistaken.

    I have to agree with you on the personality perspective. I shoot with these brands as well. One of the things that I liked about Canon EF glass was that it had character that made up for Canon’s bodies. The RF glass eliminated that character, and their unwillingness to open up the mount to third party manufacturers hurts more. I still enjoy using both of these brands but I have definitely noticed this and griped about it as well.

Non-Sony users will always discuss the color science, but real photographers understand that color science is irrelevant when you use Raw files. With all the brands that I use, no one can just look at one of my images and tell me which camera that it came from. That backdrop that you had for this shoot was epic 🤯

    I've been on Sony for a bit over 3 years, today shooting both the A7RV & A7Cii. I do admit that about a year after the Canon R5 was released I was starting to drink the Kool-aid LOL. Since then, the Canon R5 has come off my radar mostly because of their closed lens eco-system. Totally agree with you, that today and within the past 5 years, you really can't go wrong with any brand - crop or FF. It's all subjective.

    Funny when Tony an Chelsea did the blind camera test. Sony won best color science. Sony a7IV has a nice grip and autofocus is fast which is why i went with the A7IV over the Sony a7rV. The A7iv uses AI powered autofocus as well and was just as fast. Besides the a7RV having higher pixel count i couldn't justify the price difference. I just put the extra towards new lenses.

    Nice shots. Ive been shooting portraits professionally for 20 years now and have owned and used just about every brand. It really doesnt matter. Canon, Sony, Fuji, Panasonic...everyone makes great cameras these days. I personally think all the modern mirrorless cameras lack character and a vibe. They are too sterile and digital looking. I'll often shoot film or older CCD sensor digital cameras that definitely have a vibe and clients love the look. Keep up the great work.

    I did see a review of the Canon 85mm RF f1.2 vs the Canon 85mm EF f1.8 and people liked the Canon 85mm EF f1.8 better. Depending on who you are shooting some of the newer lens can be too sharp for some peoples faces. You model is young so her shin is very good and healthy but when people get older the older lens are better. That fashion photographer Peter Coulson using some manual focus lens I think Zeiss lens and he goes out of focus just a little bit to soften the image. They should make cameras that go out of focus just a tiny bit so to emulate a soft filter. Also all these newer cameras have IBIS they could vibrate the sensor to soften the image. Pentax has this feature to avoid moire. I think Chris reviewed a Pentax on TheCameraStoreTV or DPreview. Can't remember what channel I think it was the Pentax K2?

    All of the old Pentax, Fujifilm and even Olympus cameras have a nice way of capturing faces. Looks like real life instead of seeing every detail because the sensors and lenses are so sharp. With lenses, I think that’s why we are seeing the emergence of so many cinema lenses looking to add more softness to an image. But to the Canon, all of their new RF glass is so good. TOO GOOD. I felt like I doubled my megapixels the image was so sharp 🤣🤣

    When you take something like the A7RV or the new A9 III in your hands, you feel how the Sony bodies evolve. The A7RV feels completely different to the A7IV and that body is way closer to the R5. Yep, you can compare an A7IV and a R5, but it doesn't make much sense. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the 61mpix sensor itself, but the camera is over all hard to compare with the A7IV. The EVF, the AF, display etc. etc. the A7IV looks very old now. The thing is and this was always the problem with the A7IV, it was never a WOW-camera. As it got released everyone was like, hmmm, ok. That was it?! It's hard to love or to hate. It's the Corolla or Golf of cameras.

    Funny I disagree on colour but not for the reason you might think. I don't care much about colours in jpegs because it is super rare that I shoot in jpegs.... And in Raw or of camera colours barely matter anymore. No what I meant is that, at the very beginning of Sony cameras, Sony aimed at making the most colour accurate cameras in the world and also the best camera for skin tones for skins of all colours. And they succeeded according to lab tests but people didn't like Sony colours and started complaining. I do not know if it is because they were used to Canon or Fuji or Nikon colours, or if it was because photography doesn't have to be accurate to be beautiful and inaccuracies can make pictures more beautiful than the real thing... But at the end it didn't matter and Sony had to modify their colour rendition to satisfy the customer requests (or the influencers' requests). Canon on the other hand, like all the other camera manufacturers, has always had it's own sauce and people seem to love it. The Canon colour recent hype I think is something else, I think it is a marketing effort by Canon to divert the attention from the lower dynamic range of their sensors which are not BSI/stacked like the competition... The fact that they reuse the same sensors for multiple generations of cameras, the cripple hammer etc. So they found something to hype, the highly subjective taste for Canon colours. I have used canon as my main camera for many many decades and I am used to them, their colour rendition out of camera and some colour changes I sometimes do on Lightroom... And on colour alone, I could choose Sony, Nikon, Fuji... It wouldn't make much difference. I can't stand how Sony cameras feel in the hand, I love the Z8 a lot but I am not in a buying gear phase and I am happy with my R5... Fuji is nice, I had one and sold it, I could go back to an X-S20 as a small travel camera for a kit lens setup at some point although I don't like having a ton of lenses for different mounts around. Back to the subject, it is super rare to find someone thinking that Sony colours have more character as Sony never tried to achieve character, at least not for the first generations of a6xxx and a7xxx.
