I took the Canon EOS R3 and the Sony a1 out into the Real World to a College Football game to test out their Autofocus. I used the Canon 400 2.8 RF and Sony 400 2.8 E and recorded both EVF's with the Atomos Ninja V so you get to see the focus working...or not working. The big question here is, did Canon surpass Sony's amazing Autofocus?

Good compare and shows how close they are, i think what we are seeing is that the canon has about a year more of training (no pun intended) we know they for example trained the detection for helmets while the sony A1 was not (yet?). Both the canon R3 and nikon Z9 are trained on more subjects and use-cases as the sony. As a sony A1 user think sony got a little slow in updating their eye-af and tracking since the other 2 where well basicly 2+ years ago. We notice that in the quick adding of bird detect mode on the sony that seems a little rushed. Now the good news is that this is all software base and after about a year we can expect sony to react with a software update to also add some of these more wide detection modes (like helmets) and maybe even a 'unified' focus system like the nikon has. One thing that will for sure help the A1 vs R3 (not Z9) is using the 'crop' dial on that lens where it jumps right into crop mode the reason is that the tracking system works on the image it gets and eyes/birds are detected much faster (and stay) when they are bigger in the image. Hope next test we see a compare of what you guys call soccer since i think they will match up better. But again as a sony A1 owner i fully see and feel both the R3 and Z9 are better trained for subject detection then the A1 at this point... Your move sony in the area of machine learning and showing what the new cpu's inside still have left and what the software developers have been able to optimize over the last year to give more of the cpu cycles back to that part of the camera. Lastly i noticed the A1 seems to remember the last subject somehow between bursts so say you zoom in on a bird and it gets the eye and you move away from it stop shooting and go back to it it finds the eye quicker not tested this fully but this might be helpful at times not 100% sure how it works yet but clearly it seems to remember 1 or 2 subjets back. Now lets see once the R3 and Z9 are fully shipping if sony announced the A1's first software update and if the area of subject detection gets tuned.

Reviewing the EVF footage is like watching a painter paint instead of looking at the final painting. The only reason to do it is to appreciate the work of the painter/photographer. What really matters is that the final image is in focus. The box on the eye doesn't actually matter, as long as the camera is actually tracking the subject and is staying in focus. Thanks for the view of the EVF though, it's amazing to watch!
@MusaonYT 2 жыл бұрын
The position of the box matters for your peace of mind. You don't want the box appearing on someone's chin when you're trying to focus on the eye, even if the eye comes out sharp after taking the photo.

@@MusaonYT I fully understand, I would love it to be glued to the eye, as long as it isn't taking away any processing power from the actual eye tracking. I'm just pointing out that it's an over lay and not the actual focus tracking. Still important, but the eye being in focus is more important than the overlay staying on the eye. If the overlay just tracks the eye but the camera can't actually stay in focus, then it's useless.

What shocked me was I learned that camera profiles for lightroom just came out for the Canon r5 and R6. I had always edited with the standard Adobe color because there weren't profiles and because I figured it was raw anyway. But camera profiles make a huge difference! Not only was it gorgeous but took far less time to edit. Now I understand when people say Canon colors.

I shoot Canon DSLRs so I was hoping for good news from the R3. However, my personal preference aside, I enjoy the competition among the big 3 (Canon, Nikon, & Sony). I, too, thought the Canon was better with autofocus performance, but I was concerned that my personal bias was clouding my thoughts. It was nice to see that Jared's words matched my thoughts about autofocus performance. I understand why the A1 is such a difficult camera to "dethrone". It's wonderful. So is the R3. Very good video, very helpful comparison even for a hobbyist such as myself.

I personally like the Canon having the shutter indicator flicker-thingy (you know what I mean, the frame that lets you know you're taking photos) on the edge of the viewfinder and not disturbing my view. I agree that it'd be kinda cool to have a buffer-bar like the sony or something similar tho. I think if I could choose, I'd want a little colored dot in a corner blinking when I take photos. Little to no distraction, yet very eye-catching and clear.

Maybe the higher mp cameras need to get a slight speed boost to keep up with the 24mp file transfer so more time is available for af. I wonder what the next big feature will be. Possibly 16 bit raw for lower noise, bit that will require faster cards. It will be interesting to see where the tech takes us to

As a true all in Sony user he started to attack the reviewer, you as if you did not know how to use the Sony menus to setup the automatic focus while shooting the football game and that is the reason you felt canon autofocus was better in this review.

is the 3rd white number on the bottom of the sony evf the exposure compensation? on the canon, i noticed the the iso number was seperated from the shutter speed and iso. ui and font are very different. sony ui is too busy but can be customized. which is better?

Hi, How did you do with the sony to record EVF with the settings visible knowing that when settings are activated you can’t look in the EVF anymore, For sport shooting it’s not complicated to have to look in an external monitor? What was your config?

Still shooting a 1Dx and see how far the AF has come, while it seems just yesterday the 1Dx AF was king and warranted $6500. I'd imagine the R6/5/3 will have a ten year shelf life easily compared to say how short the 5D/2/3/4 lifespans were. The short time I owned a 7D MK II showed me the future with on sensor dual pixel AF - if only that had translated into FF DSLR bodies for a reasonable price as the 5D4 is still overpriced when the R6 is so near in cost.

@Jared Polin; do you have a video or explanation about how presets work with different camera brands since each brand has a different starting point in the RAW file? I’ve never used presets and I’m still new to Lightroom and photoshop. I’ve been using Affinity photo for the iPad (limited use) and doing every photo individually but I’m also not a professional and only take family photos for myself and a few friends. I have a trial of Lightroom and photoshop which I’m enjoying and considering subscribing for a year to see if it can hopefully speed up the editing process for me. Any input would be appreciated! 🇨🇦

Would you give a little background on why you are not using Eye AF on the R3? I thought that it was maybe because of the helmets, but I noticed that you didn't use Eye AF with the soccer players either in the video where you provided the RAWs. Thanks.

Hi Jared, I noticed that your shutter speed was at 1/1600 while your ISO was 500 (3:08) where you hoping to get a very still image? And if yes, why would you suggest doing this besides a lower shutter speed in a situation like this?
@NickzAndMikz 2 жыл бұрын
He’s trying to shoot as wide open as he can to test the focus, so he needs a high shutter and iso. Plus he mentioned the weather was variable which is why he probably wasn’t at a lower iso

The camera was better at focusing than I could ever dream to be. It was able to focus on the action even though I was lost and would have missed almost every single shot! Amazing tools these cameras!

the R3 or A1?
@fredericbeudot822 2 жыл бұрын
I wonder what it would do to AF performance if you shot the A1 in DX mode. 21mp vs 24 but less than half the data to process for the A1. Would that make any difference at all?

Yes, the Canon was more sticky. The A1 was sometimes focusing on the shoulders or the backs of the players. I can’t imagine what these manufacturers will achieve 10 years from today.

@@lovesushma48 It was not trained for helmets like the R3 and Z9 for now.. thats probably the biggest reason the 2 lines at the side of the focus box show it tracking 'a object, probably a round thing we call a head' but it has not detected a head because it was not trained for helmets (yet?). Check the first part where there are people without helmets see how the boxes look different and also (depends on a preset) you see multiple dark grey boxes of other heads it finds.

@@lovesushma48 ugh, yep. I notice this all the time with my Sonys, they just sometimes pick the wrong area despite a face clearly visible. If I wasn't so invested with Sony, I'd order a pair of Z9s and use them until I die.

The box doesn’t 100% correlate to where the camera is actually focusing, If the sony on the images acquired the same amount of images as the Canon it doesn’t really matter if it’s slightly off as that is just software, Nikon also acquired more images then what you would think out from the box, so I really think we should be careful with over estimate the box and it’s meaning, obviously we prefer to be as precise as possible to where the camera is actually focusing but being slightly off isn’t a huge deal breaker. Also in my experience these brands tend to do better at different sports, so while one might slightly edge one in one, the other might do it in another. It’s simply has to do with how long, how much and how many different subjects it has been trained at. Canon is well know for their abilities with sports with helmets. Sony generally doesn’t seem to have much of a foothold in American market compared to in Europe and in Europe helmets aren’t something you see much in major sports. Also I would kinda expect a lower resolution to potential be faster at focusing with the same technology, when Sony release the A9iii I would expect it to actually outperform the A1 in AF-C
