Canon has been the best-selling brand in the interchangeable lens camera market for more than a decade. Now the market is very different, as there are emerging competitors. Two years ago, thanks to the power of Alpha series mirrorless cameras, Sony became the second best-selling brand of full-frame cameras. And in 2019, Sony claimed second place in all camera categories from rival Nikon. And as Sony continues to build up its capabilities, is Canon still superior? Which two companies make better cameras?
Comparing Canon and Sony is somewhat similar to trying to compare Apple and Android, as the answer depends on the questioner and his needs. If you are a photographer who wants a Viewfinder; DSLR cameras are your go-to choice at Canon. But if you are looking for the latest in video features, or the best performance in mirrorless cameras, here is Sony's making a donation.
Although Canon entered the mirrorless camera category last year with the EOS R camera, relying on its position in the market, Sony is still outperforming in this area. In the end, it is the small details, such as: what to photograph and how, that will end the conflict between these two brands.
picture quality
Canon cameras are able to take pictures with more realistic colors compared to Sony cameras. As for overall image quality, DxOMark tests reveal that Sony's sensors are able to capture DR (dynamic field) better than Canon sensors.
the performance
Canon cameras use a technology called Dual Pixel Autofocus or DPAF in its mirrorless cameras and DSLR cameras, and the advantage of this technology is that it provides fast and very accurate auto focus. Sony is using Phase-Detection Autofocus, or PDAF, in mirrorless cameras, which are not up to the performance level of DPAF technology. Sony cameras excel at speed, however, the A9 cameras are capable of capturing 20 frames per second, while the Canon EOS 1D X Mark II sports camera captures around 14 frames per second.
the design
The location of the shutter, menu interfaces, and ergonomics are of the utmost importance in any camera, and Canon cameras are said to make you feel better when holding them. Sony's camera menus are more complicated, due to the large number of options it provides, especially video settings.
Lenses
Sony doesn't have a lot of interchangeable lenses, however, it does offer most of the lenses that photographers are looking for. Canon has a lot for DSLRs, and a little more for mirrorless cameras. Canon DSLR lenses can be used for Sony mirrorless cameras.
price
As is the case with many of the major competitors, Sony and Canon sell their cameras at close prices, as Canon's EOS R cameras are sold at a starting price of $ 300, which is higher than the Sony A7 III cameras, while Canon's mirrorless cameras are sold Like: EOS M50 at $ 200, which is cheaper than Sony's A6400 cameras.
