severe moire AND a soft image; that's quite the lovely combo. Usually you accept one in exchange for not getting the other

I don't understand this too. Is this even possible? Hmmm.... anyway, it's video and I really don't care

 

[Stuart]

Watching the video full screen is does not seem HD sharp is this the high ISO, poor lens, bad conversion to web video or is it really just this soft?

you have to be kidding me... BOTH?.... what next canon?

stick it where the sun don´t shine.

Canon says, "BUY A 5DIII for video!"

 

[Dylan777]

Regardless what Dpreview said about the 6D high ISO Vs 5D III, I don't believe 6D will perform better than 5D III in high or low ISO. I'm talking about IQ of course.

i say "fuk you canon"..... i sit on my money and stick to my 5D MK2 a few years longer.

what did dpreview say?

you mean what you see on the the sample images or did dpreview comment them yet?

Canon says, "BUY A 5DIII for video!"

That about sums it up perfectly. There is no reason for the 6D video quality to be any worse than the 5D3 (very similar sensor, same processor, encoding, etc), but then there would be no reason to buy a 5D3 over the 6D for video shooting. Hence the lack of auto monitoring, and possibly a lesser moire reduction/sharpening algorithm.

I'm a stills shooter, so I don't care much, but if I did video I think the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is by far the best "low cost" option on the market.

 

[Jeffrey]

I'd rather eat some of the chocolates that were shown in the sample video than own the 6D.

 

[Drizzt321]

Mmmm...chocolate.

I don't shoot much video, but I definitely saw lots of moire. I hesitate to say it's worse than my 5d2, but it's still very bad. Didn't seem particularly great quality to me. The 35mm T/1.5 Samyang/Rokinon/Bower lens is more interesting to me, although I'd get the standard photo version since I rarely shoot any video.

which ever ways you translated.....the IQ of 6D will not out perform 5D III. Don't expect too much from entry level model.

Am no fan of video, so I don't care, but there do seem to a lot of variables possibly not controlled by the test, so... this may be better than we think it is... Not time to dump our canons overboard yet... We must hold true!!!

 

[LetTheRightLensIn]

5D3 is no sharper.

However, at least the 5D3 delivers a softish '1920x1080' without that nasty moire and aliasing, so it does a WAY better job and can look a bit filmic, this looks super video-ish. This is not a good results. But then gain Canon marketing MBA loves LOVES their internal market segmentation and purposeful crippling (other brands and products capabilities and threats be damned).

Part of me thinks that looks to have a bit worse aliasing than the 5D2 even.

 

[stoneysnapper]

I watched it in HD on a 27" mac and I did not think it looked all that bad, but then I'm no video expert. I could see the moire but thought it was sharp in the right areas. I used to have a friend who listened to music years gone by on old vinyl and all he did was spend his time looking for flaws, I see that time and time again with people on forums. More interested in criticising sharpness at 200% in the bottom left hand corner of a frame that 99.99% of people don't look at instead of just getting on with it, there's a guy like that at my Camera Club, will criticise everyones images technically, but has never entered a competition himself. He spends 99% of his time at his pc instead of 99% of his time behind the camera.

Anyway was "(1250 is very mush usable)" a deliberate typo?

i fully understand what you say... but then... this is a new product.
when a new product is not better then a older one there is no sense in wasting money on it.

that´s why i critizise the 6D video.

Define 'better'. For some people, the lower cost of the 6D makes it significantly better, especially if the IQ is no worse...

 

[schmidtfilme]

I hear the video quality is more on par with the Mark 2.

In addition what I just found out today and made my cry is that the Canon 6D cannot be controlled over Wifi for shooting video. Thats too bad because that was what I really hoped for.

Canon - why ? On the manual page 15 it says - when Wifi is enabled movie shooting is disabled http://t.co/hl4QR6Og

I guess I get the Mark 2 or Mark 3 instead. Just not sure if the Mark 3 is worth the money over the Mark 2. . .
