I asked Kevin if he would be down to shoot some photos and talk about the similarities and differences between the 5D Mark IV and the 6D Mark II. This is what we ended up filming. Its obviously not a lab test comparing the two but we just went out to have fun and take some pics.

Use the S-A-M-E LENS

"They're going to run out of numbers eventually "... Give that a thought.

I believe that the difference between the camera is not as much as the price...but the deference between the your skills and Kevin's skills is huge, clearly...And frankly that's the only thing that matters when it comes to photography...80% Skill and may be 20% equipment...

@AelielAT 9 years ago

The biggest difference I found is in editing. There is more latitude to recover shadows with the 5D Mark IV files than with the 6D Mark II. This sounds like a small thing but when you edit hundreds of files a week...

"they will run out the numbers eventually"

Fun thing is that these both cameras were last DSLRs of their line.

R.I.P DSLR

6D II on good light looks awesome, pictures are nicely framed, I see nothing wrong with that camera.

@Mikemantis819 9 years ago

Awesome video man, very enjoyable content. More videos like this. I one of the crazy people who are enjoying there 6d MkII

@sale83 9 years ago

I find it faster to use central focus point and recompose than change the points with joystick on 5d or wheel on 6d...probably comes from my film camera background. Both great photography cameras though.I like the 6d because of the screen and the slightly smaller size, but for pro work, mark 4 is a must.
In the end, if you can't get a good photo with these cameras, it's not the camera, it's you, that sucks.

Worth watching just for your closing remark. Nice video.

@cjm8160 2 years ago

It’s interesting to see how these older videos have aged. No one 6 years ago would have predicted that these cameras would be the last of their kind in the DSLR world, and everything would move to Mirrorless 🤷🏾‍♂️We’re already at R6 Mark II with R5 Mark II just around the corner

This video helped so much man! I’m literally stuck in a situation between getting these two cameras but limited by money. THANK YOU!

@Drift808616 9 years ago

I've been using the 5d mkiii for years and was thinking of getting the mkiv but the tilt screen on the 6d mkii is what sold me to that body

@chirag4 9 years ago (edited)

you Nailed it, Crushed it, Killed it.
i Loved it.
i am getting the Canon 85mm f/1.4 IS L when it is out in nov./dec.

@annashtraus 9 years ago

Great job, Lee. If only 5div had that tilty screen....

@nowornever2504 8 years ago

Spent two hours at BB comparing the 5D4 and the 6D2. Speaking of the features, other than the articulating screen, I liked the 5D4 hands down—larger 100% VF, bigger screen, more buttons including the rating botton, joy stick for AF focus point changes, larger wider AF coverage, etc...whether or not those features are worth extra $1k obviously depends on the buyer. It’s worth it for me. Canon has the best most logical and least quirky functionality of all cameras in my opinion. And the Canon color science is awesome for portraits.

14:32 mins: the AF focus button on the 6D2, you can use it while looking through the view finder to change the type of focus and then which point/group of AF points/area.

@DJWRailroad 7 years ago

Pretty good vid demo of image quality for Canoocks (joke!). Alley stills, what I would view as close to low light, surprised us with the huge diff between the 6D Mark II and 5D Mark IV until we reversed and saw the different ISOs ... 1000 for the 6D and 2000 for the 5D. Would've been a little bit more helpful if the ISO settings were identical.

@sergioandino6208 7 years ago

Really cool video guys I'm actually trying to decide which of these two cameras to get. the video help me a lot to take a decision

@planetdee3587 6 months ago

With the 6D2, it may not have 2 card slots, but you should be able to dump your photos wirelessly to your phone or some other storage unit like your computer before you even finish the shoot.
