Sony vs canon - female Chironomid midge in the studio

Lord Vetinari

Think the male must have told his girlfriend about the free food because I found a female the next day in the kitchen. I took the opportunity to do a comparison of my normal canon 5dmk2/MPE-65/ 430Ex flash rig against my new SonyA7/ metabones adapter/MPE-65/ Nissin DI700A flash rig. Both using RAW shots. I'm actually surprised how similar the shots turned out especially bearing in mind different processing software. All shots focus stacked using zerene

These would be from Sony?

No the shots alternate between cameras. I purposely have not labelled which is which. You can click on the picture and get to flickr where you can see which camera was used.

Its a shame.....I am completely invested in Canon, but Sony's pictures are brighter, more DOF, and crisper.....clearly superior....not close to me.

Well I'm invested in Canon too but the offer on the Sony together with an offer on the canon/sony adapter meant it was a cheapish way of getting another FF camera (my 5Dmk2 is likely to pack up shortly I think with 160K shots on it). It adds a number of interesting bits like the EVF viewfinder makes it much brighter shooting at higher magnifications plus it's easy to magnify the viewfinder image too .

Thanks for the comments Phil - the sony A7 is a bit of a bargain at the moment - available at £599 Including £200 cashback plus a metabones EF adapter for further £100.
I did wonder about one of the canon 5ds/r but can't think I really need that files size. My old 5Dmk2 is approaching 160K clicks so I'm expecting it to pack up shortly.
