Not very scientific, which I actually like, a comparison with my favourite Sony lens against the Canon RF 50/1.2.
First off...I need to get this off my chest.
1 - What's with shooting with the LCD? That's not how you hold a camera.
2 - Why Shoot the Sony with the trigger at the bottom and the Canon at the top? She is constrained by that strap that she is using. It seems she pulls it out tight to create that 3rd point for stability....really odd.
So, the images, she mentioned the Canon is sharper, but I take that with a pinch of salt as the R5 has like 40% more pixels. But on my 4k TV, they both look pin sharp and the Sony setup being like half the price stacks up well, like 98% there. In fact I think I like the colours out of the Sony more. The Canon does have better bokeh fall off, even at the same 1.4.
Overall they seem pretty even at a glance and I think from an IQ point of view, the client wouldn't know the difference but there is 1 deal breaker, what is with that reverse lens double flare in the RF50/1.2? That is a dealbreaker in shooting into backlit or into the sun. I can totally see a client asking me to remove that in PS which could be almost impossible to do it perfectly or at least too time consuming to a point that I would just end up rejecting the shot.
