Why does A7R3 look much better than 5D4, but some photographers still use Canon?

The precipitation of a brand in people's minds cannot be changed overnight. So is building a brand. Preaching alone can't change the image in people's minds. Nikon cameras were built during the war. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Japan provided Nikon to western war photographers for free use. After the baptism of war, Nikon cameras were all damaged and gained a great reputation. The advantage of Nikon camera is that it is durable and suitable for various shooting services in various environments. It is meaningless to talk on paper, but it is best to rely on user recognition.

If it is free, it is estimated that everyone will try it! What Sony, Nikon, Leica and Hasselblad? Let's start again from the beginning! As soon as the photographer enters the door, it is not easy to change the door. There are many problems here, from the plot of the equipment in the opponent to the usage habits, and there are a lot of lenses and accessories, not to say that they can be changed! If a general photographer has been in into the pit for a long time, most of the machines and accessories in his hand cost nearly 100,000 yuan. If he wants to exchange these other things, he can only deal with them at a low price, and then buy other things at a high price. This is a big expense, so most people will not change planes easily.

In addition to some performance indicators, the purchase of photographic equipment also involves brand, operation, inheritance and compatibility of lens accessories and so on. Even different brands of cameras with the same grade, type and performance have their own consumer groups. After all, everyone has their own preferences for their own brands.

Compared with Canon's 5d4, the Sony A7R3 mentioned by the owner has very similar comprehensive performance and is also a very practical model. However, one is a micro-single digital camera with electronic concept, and the other is a traditional SLR digital camera with optical concept. Their operations will be different in different fields. The former is not much different from the optical viewfinder in scenery, commerce, still life, portrait and documentary. However, in scenes that need to be followed quickly, such as wildlife, sports, news, etc., the unique "time lag" of electronic viewfinder is not as convenient, reliable and energy-saving as that of optical viewfinder, plus the inheritance, compatibility and brand interest of some lenses (Canon series products have a large number of lens groups, and their performance prices are also high).

I am Canon 5d4, work a7r4. In addition to video and pixels, Sony is really not as good as Canon. I prefer Canon to just taking pictures. Control, feel, screen and shutter feel are still very good. I can't feel Sony's advantage in focusing, and the original Sony will also lose focus, and the dark focus will not work. Novices who may not have much contact with the SLR focusing system will like Sony's focusing. In manual selection, Sony's focus control is not as convenient as Canon's. Although Sony's autofocus is very convenient and stupid, the eye-controlled focusing of portraits is not accurate every time, and the handling is much worse.

It doesn't matter that the parameters are much better, what matters is that the photos are not much better or even can't see the difference.

As long as it's a camera made in Japan, you should think it's made by the same factory, but every workshop in this factory makes different brands. No matter which brand sells well or not, this factory makes money.

And the competition between different brands is by no means the kind of life-and-death competition. According to my observation, it should be a state of behind-the-scenes negotiations. Therefore, photographers in China should not strive for these brands at all. Take the manufacturer's money, and there are many trumpeters to serve them.

The above plot is pure fiction, and if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence.

When you only need 60 points of performance parameters, Canon will give you 80 points of performance. Even if Sony improves its performance to 120, some people will still use Canon.

In addition, in addition to the performance on paper, that is, pixels, focus, continuous shooting, high sensitivity and tolerance, Canon can be said to have completely crushed Sony in other aspects, and it is outstanding in handling, stability, durability of body lens and system coordination. At present, no camera manufacturer in the market can match it.

The reality is that in most cases, the performance of the camera is overflowing. At present, the display resolution of mainstream mobile phones and computers has just reached 2k, and even many of them are still at the level of 1080p. Even if the resolution has risen to 4k, it is actually more than 800 million pixels. Cameras can be entered twenty years ago. Even for outdoor large-format commercial poster printing, 30 million pixels is enough. Canon 180p. In fact, Sony can't meet the requirements of hundreds of millions of pixels, so it can only go to Freescale Hasselblad and other large-format systems or large-format digital backs. In other words, even today, four years later, Canon 5d4 can satisfy most shooting.

Paying attention to this thing is more metaphysical. In the era of SLR, the focus module may be out of focus because it is independent of the photosensitive element. Sony first launched the micro-single, which solved this problem. Now, everyone has their own problems, and this advantage no longer exists. Looking at the focusing performance alone, apart from Panasonic's weak focusing, other mainstream manufacturers like Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fuji are comparable, and other manufacturers that Sony is proud of are also equipped with eye recognition focusing soon, which may be slightly better than Sony's eye focusing in the micro-single era, but focusing on the hair in front of you is also common. The eye focus of other manufacturers is also sufficient for most scenes in daily use. Regardless of the global autofocus of eye and face recognition, all manufacturers are at the same ventilation level at present, and they will never be on time. In fact, Canon's experience is much better than that of other manufacturers. Anyone who has used it knows that Canon's interactive experience has always been very reliable.

The most important thing is that theory is greater than practice. Sony's high sense may indeed be stronger than Canon's, but at 6400, everyone began to have noise. What's the point of having less noise and more noise? People who care about it feel unavailable, and people who don't care are forcibly pulled to the full-screen Xue Huadian of 12800. It doesn't matter as long as it's photographed. Sony's truly competitive a7s3 is really strong and invincible. But it is aimed at the video market, and the price remains high. In addition to high photosensitivity, there is no advantage in the camera market.

Tolerance may be the only thing that Canon really lags behind Sony. Sony mainstream Quan Huafu is approaching the limit of 15 gear, while Canon is still hovering at 13 gear. The advantage of fault tolerance is high fault tolerance. If the exposure parameters are set incorrectly, it can be pulled back later. Before Canon's full-pixel dual-core came out, it was really easy to be exposed incorrectly. 1dx2 and 5d4 are equipped with a full-pixel dual-core focusing system, which can be used to take pictures on the display screen. The situation is much better, but the experience without flipping the screen and evf is much worse, and there is a terrible shutter delay. It was not until eos r that things got better. At present, there is no doubt that the mainstream camera market uses evf or display screen to take pictures in real time. In the case of what you see is what you get, black shooting is unreasonable. Under the trend that the camera market is not reversed in an all-round way, this advantage of Sony is gradually weakening.

In addition to these acceptable shortcomings, Canon system can be said to be full of advantages. The camera lens is durable, with high reliability, good human-computer interaction experience, rich lens groups, and a large number of cheap lenses to choose from. The experience of changing ef lens into rf bayonet is good, the portrait is straight, the later adjustment is labor-saving, and the screen look and feel is good. The new machine comes standard with an omni-directional flip screen, and the second-hand market price is stable.

Between the powerful performance that is unlikely to be used and the better experience, many people will choose Canon.

I used to use Nikon D800, but my trip in Europe was stolen. I started with Sony A7R4, and the focus was really poor. I thought I was traveling light, but I thought too much. I took a night scene and immediately bought a Nikon D850 before returning to the feeling of photography. At present, it seems that as little as possible is really not enough. Most people on the internet are fooling you!

I have bought a lot of Canon heads. I bought 5D4. If you sell it and change the door, you will lose money ... Besides, Canon is not useless.

So, I had to find an excuse to continue using it: good skin color, good viewfinder, good menu and good lens group.

Radish and cabbage are loved by everyone. As long as it's taken by a high-end camera. It's just that people have different hobbies.
