I've been a Canon EOS owner since 1996, after I switched from Minolta to Canon when I went pro. I have been self-employed as a freelance commercial photographer since then too. I have been shooting video since shortly after the introduction of the 5D2. I have a large lens selection of Canon lenses from fish-eye to super-telephoto.. including several IS lenses from Canon.. I shoot my video projects primarily with my 5D3 bodies and use my older 5D2 bodies to cover events like weddings..
The overall look of the 5D3 image is amazing for what I do... I have seen what a Sony Alpha a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera can also do in a lab test side-by-side, and I see that the Sony has more detail for video, and less "noise".. it also appears to capture at a more "bluer" tone than the Canon 5D3.. something I don't like at all..
Do I "need".. iso 1020879697659264927...? No......not really.. If I can get a clean 6400, I'll be happy... What I am looking for is a "walk around" camera that can pop on a shotgun mic, (hopefully use built-in an articulating screen with a loupe vs an external one)
I'm looking at options like a DJI gimbal rig.. or something to that effect... and would like to have a maximum steady shot... I figure with the combination of IS on the lens... and the gimbal well balanced, I should be in the ballpark.. However, I see that the Sony I mentioned above also has IS in the body, and that I can get an additional lens adapter for another 400 bucks that can mount my Canon EF lenses to it..
Is there a big difference to have IS on the body with IS on the lens, or does one cancel out the other, or is it better to have IS in the lens, with no IS on the body..?
I figure there has got to be someone out there who has experience in this who shoots video with the Sony & Canon system combo..
Thank you,
JP
