#5d mark iii vs 6d wildlife iso#

There is slightly less fine detail on display than the ISO 400 print, but not enough to keep us from calling it good, and not much noise to speak of either. ISO 800 is also capable of a good 30 x 40 inch print! This is quite large for ISO 800, and an impressive feat. Otherwise, it's still a terrific print at this size. There is perhaps a subtle decrease in fine detail in higher-contrast areas of our target, but only if you get close and really look for it. ISO 400 yields a very nice 30 x 40 inch printed image as well. These prints showcase superb fine detail, vibrancy and 'pop' with terrific color. ISOs 50 through 200 deliver excellent prints at 30 x 40 inches and larger, until you run out of resolution at your intended viewing distance. The Sony A7 II comes out ahead overall in this group with excellent sharpness, less obvious sharpening halos, good contrast and almost no loss in image quality as ISO climbs within this range.Įxcellent 30 x 40 inch prints at ISO 50-200 a nice 13 x 19 at ISO 3200 a good 5 x 7 at ISO 25,600. The Pentax K-1 shows better detail as expected, however contrast and sharpness lag behind here. Interestingly, the Canon 6D Mark II compares quite nicely to the Nikon D750, besting it at all three ISOs. This is also true compared to the 5D Mark III, although the improvement isn't quite as much. As you can see, the Canon 6D Mark II does capture more detail with better contrast than its predecessor, even as ISO climbs. High-contrast detail is also important, pushing the camera in different ways, so we like to look at it separately here.

Canon 6D, Canon 5D Mark III, Nikon D750, Pentax K-1, Sony A7 IIĭetail comparison. Color is still more accurate and pleasing from the Canon but overall the Sony comes out ahead here.Ĭanon 6D Mark II vs. The Sony A7 II continues to produce a sharper, crisper image with better detail than the Canon, however noise is a bit higher in flatter areas, and the noise 'grain' is not as consistent giving the Sony image a slightly more processed look. Both cameras produce pleasing color, but colors are slightly more accurate from the Canon.Ĭanon 6D Mark II vs Pentax K-1 at Base ISO Looking very closely, noise appears a little higher from the Nikon in flatter areas however noise in deep shadows is higher from the Canon. Interestingly, contrast is generally a little higher from the Canon giving its image a bit more 'pop', despite lower contrast in the red-leaf swatch. The Nikon image is a little sharper yet with slightly less obvious sharpening halos, however moiré patterns are even stronger from the D750 in the red-leaf fabric. Here at base ISO we can see the two cameras resolve very similar levels of detail with the slightly higher pixel count of the Canon offset somewhat by the Nikon's lack of an optical low-pass filter. And remember, you can always go to our world-renowned Comparometer to compare the Canon 6D Mark II to any camera we've ever tested! Canon 6D Mark II vs Canon 6D at Base ISOĪbove we compare the Canon 6D Mark II to the 24-megapixel Nikon D750, perhaps its closest rival given they have the same list price and similar specs (although as of this writing the street price for the D750 body is currently $200 less).

Clicking any crop will take you to a carrier page where you can click once again to access the full resolution image as delivered straight from the camera. All cameras in this comparison were shot with our very sharp reference lenses. NOTE: These images are from best quality JPEGs straight out of the camera, at default settings including noise reduction and using the camera's actual base ISO (not extended ISO settings). We've also compared the 6D Mark II to its closest Nikon rival, the D750 which currently sells for $200 less than the 6D Mark II, the Pentax K-1 which sells for $100 less, and the Sony A7 II which sells for about $500 less. Canon 6D Mark II Image Quality Comparisonīelow are crops from our laboratory Still Life target comparing the Canon 6D Mark II's JPEG image quality to its predecessor's, the 6D, as well as to the Canon 5D Mark III, since the latter camera is still available at time of writing for only about $300 more.
