Canon 1080p is really more like 720p, or even less. Now I will say the Cinema EOS cams shoot nice 1080p, similar in resolution to the mirrorless cams from Panasonic and Sony. Canon users like to say Panasonic video looks too sharp. No, that’s resolution. you are seeing resolution, clarity.
Exactly!
That Canon famous “Skin tones” and “Video” etc are all about SOFTNESS. It is ALL ABOUT subject being unsharp, soft and then throw background and foreground out of focus so the subject looks much sharper than it truly is because it is just compared to the out of focus areas!
Add there some motion and nice lighting and suddenly everything becomes more like fantasy instead reality. And GH4 or ANY m4/3 camera (even old Olympus PEN) just DESTROYS the Canon video footage!
“ANY m4/3 camera (even old Olympus PEN) just DESTROYS the Canon video footage!”
Totally agree in DSLR territory, although their Cinema line albeit very expensive is very good.
False. I have a Canon M and its video is much better than my Olympus EP5. I have not used Panasonic but claiming Olympus video destroys Canon is simply wrong. Canon’s is better.
Actually if you downscale a proper FHD to HD then upscale it agan to FHD it will contain a litle bit more detail than any Canon DSLR “FHD” up to date.
Admin. Are you comparing the E-M5 Mk III or the Canon 5D Mk III with the GH4? 😉
You might like to correct that. 🙂
You might try reading. Where in the world did you think you read E-M5 MKII?
You might try stop playing with your willy David it might make you blind….seems to be taking effect….
You can probably zoom the gh4 4k footage to about 300 percent to get the canon “look” haha
That gotta be terrible soft lens mounted to Canon! It can not be so terrible that even GH4 4K video and frame from 4K video beats Canon STILL PHOTO and the VIDEO.
Canon? What have you done? Seriously? Like SERIOUSLY?
That’s why he showed a photo from the Canon to show it is just as sharp as the GH4 photo. Its not the lens.
WHAT?! That it is just as sharp as GH4?
LOL
The Canon PHOTO is SOFT compared to GH4 FULLHD!
That is the famous Canon 50/1.2 lens shot stepped down for maximal sharpness and the PHOTO IS SOFT! It is clearly IN focus but SOFT! Like bad joke!
GH4 is having far better resolution and sharpness than Canon with one of the sharpest lens there is available to that format and yet it lose badly to the GH4 VIDEO!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
the Canon photo is right where it should be, as expected from the great 50/1.2 lens, shot at 2.8.
4K vs 1080 is hardly a VALID comparison……deary me….
Actually it’s a perfect FHD (4K downscaled to 1080p) compared to the so called Canon DSLR FHD (actually a 720p video resolution wise).
I don’t give a pooop its an unfair comparison like comparing 576 SD to 4K….just pathetic
The only thing pathetic here is your trolling Viezuvure.
But we already knew that.:)
A very good post Admin. Thanks!
The truth about Canon video DSLR quality is slowly but firmly seeing the daylight all over the internet. 🙂
Any skeptical person can easily verify this claim by simply doing a comparison between any Canon DSLR 1080p and a proper FHD source. I’ve been there, I’ve done that and never looked back!
another camera snob
All we’ll ever need is just better than SD resolution, isn’t it? LOL
This is the Canon slogan.
Canon started it? Nah…. Nikon was the first with a HDSLR!
You are right but D90 had video only for the sake of being the first with the name. Practically it was unusable except for hobby purposes (maybe).
Just look at the Canon 50D (earlier than the Nikon D90), it was fully capable of shooting video (it even had a microphone base in it!). Yet Canon didn’t enable it to shoot video!
Thus full credit ought to be given to Nikon for giving Canon that little nudge to make sure they would indeed include video in their next camera release and not miss out on it again.
btw, I have indeed shot short films with the Nikon D90, so I’m quite aware of its limitations! But none the less, it was groundbreaking for its time.
Agree.
I had the D90. It was worthless for video.
It seems like his zipper on the GH4 looks a bit off (moire?) versus the Canon but his skin looks sharper on the GH4
There is clearly a difference even between GH4 FHD and 5D3 FHD. I don’t know what you are doing for not seeing it.
Don’t know either. The Canon is like well upscaled 480p!
Extremely soft.
is it f*ck
Get your eyes tested chumper
Are you blind? Go see an ophthalmologist or maybe pop your head out of your butt so you can actually watch the video. The difference is blatant and extreme.
You might try stop playing with your willy David it might make you blind….seems to be taking effect……
BMC POKET is also not 1080p but fine enough for AGE OF ULTRON…
this boyli kidi my 2cm penis is longer than yours is funny and the mass
of all oudsiders ever out of all.. hard and unfair but the truth of this
in german they call it ” Kasperltheater” 🙂

WTF has a CANON FULL FRAME camera got to do with M4/3???????????????? Slow news day??
Whats the point of this video? gee, did anyone really think that a
5DmkIII vs a GH4 downsized from 4k win in resolution? this is the most
stupid video I’ve seen in a year!
This video is very legit and it proves it’s porpoise very well. Canon has a lower than 720p actual resolution in their DSLR cameras and they advertise it as 1080p (since 2008).
All the fanboyism in the world won’t change this fact, it’s easily provable! This is the reason I and many others have quite using Canon for video work quite some time.
What kind of porpoise does it prove? Harbor or Dall?
Any proof of this speculated 720p? Any facts, charts, real tests or you just taking some troll’s word for it??
Viezuvure here is you test chart in FHD resolution:

Admin confused???????????
GH4 vs E-M5III
OR
GH4 vs 5D MIII
Try very hard to read the subtitles on the video, if you watched it, troll. It’s vs a 5D MKIII,
Calm down. Swinton is right, admin wrote GH4 vs E-M5III under the video.
Thanks. David the resident pimple ridden troll doesn’t like to be corrected…..
I was referring to the DUMB title under the video Mr Moron.
GH4 1080 is still sharper than C100 1080. I own both and did a side by side. C100 colors win hands down though.
I’ve used both in a multi camera setup and indeed they are very close, after a good grading indistinguishable. Color wise I prefer Panasonic to Canon, but it’s a matter of taste. Man, I just wish GH4 had a gamma LOG profile….
4K downsampled to 1080p is the way to go for any serious video work and many have realized it.
The only caveat to this is that what is actually being read off the sensor on the 5D3 in 1080p is extremely sharp, but somewhere in the processing pipeline Canon seems to intentionally degrade the image, most likely to protect their Cinema products. Shooting MagicLantern RAW avoids and shows the truly fantastic data coming from the sensor but makes the workflow much less convenient.
Don’t you just love 5 minute videos with 10 seconds of information in them? My god kid, STFU.
Now can we now see a comparison video between a Canon XL1 and a shiny new GH4 and tell the world the GH4 looks better…….how the dumbing of society is taking effect…..what a joke this video is….
