Canon EOS 5DS R、Nikon D810、Sony A7RII Full Comparison (from Taiwan) English

Interestig article. The only remark I have is that the "Uncompressed RAW" question is misleading. The correct one would be:

"Lossless compression and/or Uncompressed RAW " since it is not the compression but the lossy compression that produces inferior RAW files.

In the latter case all 3 cameras would check as YES.

+1 Also I would have included range of lens and accessories.

On the lens and accessory side of things, I thing Sony is far behind Canon and Nikon, though Sony can use canon lens via the metabones adapter.

I agree about Sony being behind on lenses. Additionally, with the exception of the 55mm "Zeiss", the Sony lenses are IMHO, only so-so. Doing a test with one camera using an adapter really creates a problem for me. I don't think you can really evaluate the camera, without using its own lenses.

Although one has to appreciate the effort that went in to this review, I think it was flawed in at least two other ways. The author tests for features that are not necessarily important to someone electing to purchase some of these cameras. The Canon, specifically, is not being advertised as a good tool for catching motion, autofocusing in near dark, or doing video.I would have preferred a few people shots, fairly close up, with people in social situation motion. And perhaps more detailed still lives. I would also note that the author dislikes the basic canon color palette, which it strikes me makes little difference when working with RAW files, and which many of us prefer over Nikon in JPEGs.

Unfortunately, she may have a point about the ads-r not being ready for prime time, but the same thing applies to the other cameras she reviews. Perhaps the dream of medium format quality with 35mm speed and size is not yet here. Too bad I just ordered a 5DS-R; I guess I'll find out (but without the Otis). :-)
