Most of the jobs we done this year is on C100MKII/C200 in 1080P.. only very few job need 4K from our C200
I got EOS R as gimbal cam to supplement the C100mkii/c200
Manufacturer's are not dumb, they don't want to kill each other to death as much as they hate each other.
If you noticed we have 3 manufacturers releasing 5 cameras last week and they have different price point between the products
Crop mode might be actually supersampling from center portion (24/20mp portion? Not extreme 1.8x like EOS R), hence better quality and have warning of overheating when you select this option. EOS R's 1080p in APSC mode is also supersampling hence better quality than FF 1080p
I really like the AI powered editing app, they select and edit the footage for you, now if they can also edit wedding/corp it will be the real winner, I just shoot and let AI edit ?, would save soo much time lol
Sorry but Canon's 1080P with digic 8 is much sharper than most Sony's 1080P (except A6000/a5100)
A7II video quality is meh.. I used it once one on the wedding and quickly got a7rii afterward to pair with my FS5/a7s back then.
Bitrate isn't everything, the 35Mbps MP4 from c200 is much better than xavc-s 50Mbps at 1080p or the 60Mbps IBP on EOS R..
