Posted on by

Kai from DigitalRev TV compares the Canon 5Ds R and the Sony a7RII. With 42 megapixels, 4K video and 5-axis stabilisation, the Sony a7RII seems like a Canon 5Ds R killer – but just how do they compare when put head-to-head?

Sony a7RII ($3,198): It features the world’s first full-frame 42.4-megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated structure CMOS sensor. This sensor design both improves low-light operation and speeds up data throughout, enabling fast high-resolution stills and UHD 4K video recording. Working with the BIONZ X image processor, these images can be produced at sensitivities up to ISO 102,400 and at a continuous 5 fps shooting rate.

Canon 5Ds R ($3,899): Canon 5DS R features a newly-designed 50.6MP resolution 35mm CMOS sensor along with dual Digic 6 processors allows for some of the sharpest images ever captured by a digital SLR. The 5DS R also features advanced video capability including HD 1080p capture at 30 fps and a Time Lapse movie function which takes still photos at set intervals and combines them into a full HD movie.
