Instead, you have to connect to the whole camera to the charger via its USB socket. Strangely the A7 II lacks a standalone battery charger. Both these megapixel counts are going to be enough for basically every amateur and should also be able to satisfy the needs of most professionals. The A7 II is well connected with Wi-Fi and NFC (Near Field Communication) built in, while the 5D Mk III has neither. With the exception of the Canon 5DS/5DS R pair, the Canon 6D Mark II and Canon 5D Mark IV are Canon’s two highest-resolution DSLRs: The 6D Mark II packs 26.2 MP while the 5D Mark IV features 30.4 MP. The 5D Mark II has a resolution of 21 megapixels, whereas.

Both are DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras that are equipped with a full frame sensor. It's a highly advanced five-axis design that features correction not only in the X and Y planes, but also for pitch, yaw and roll. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon EOS 6D Mark II are two digital cameras that were revealed to the public, respectively, in September 2008 and June 2017.

Taking the opposite path, the A7 II was the world's first full-frame camera to feature sensor-shift stabilisation. If you want stabilisation, you have to fit a lens that includes an optical stabiliser.Ĭanon makes many of these, as do Sigma and Tamron. Canon has never produced a full-frame SLR with built-in, sensor-shift stabilisation, and the 5D Mk III is no exception. One feature that's always welcome for handheld photography is image stabilisation.

This boasts a huge image resolution of 2,359,000 dots and, like the Canon's optical unit, gives 100% frame coverage. With no reflex mirror, the Sony naturally can't have an optical viewfinder but, while some CSCs (compact system cameras) omit a viewfinder altogether, the Sony has a built-in EVF (electronic viewfinder).

The sensitivity range is generous at ISO 50-25,600, but lacks the Canon's expanded range. There's a 1,200-zone metering system, again taken directly from the image sensor rather than the separate module featured in SLR cameras. The sensitivity range for autofocus is -1EV to 20EV, so it loses out for extremely low-light focusing to the Canon. Sensor-based autofocus systems can be slow, but Sony claims a 30% increase in autofocus speed for its hybrid system over the original A7, and a 50% improvement in AF tracking performance. Without a reflex mirror, there's no facility for having a separate autofocus module. The viewfinder is a high-quality pentaprism unit that gives a bright and super-sharp display, with 100% frame coverage.įor its part, the Sony has a hybrid phase/contrast autofocus system with 117 active points on the image sensor. The 22.3 megapixel-count of the image sensor is modest by the latest standards, but it helps to enable an enormous sensitivity range of ISO 100-25,600 (50-102,400 expanded). Highlights include a 61-point autofocus module with 41 cross-type points and five double-cross points, 63-zone metering, and a working range of -2EV to 18EV. Billed by Canon as a professional-grade camera, the 5D Mk III has an exotic feature set.
