Which camera suits your shooting style, rather than just the specifications
We don’t pit every camera against the same benchmark. Instead, we pit cameras against each other based on sensor size and price point because that’s how consumers shop. You’re going to be choosing between the cameras you can afford and are interested in, not pitting a new model against whatever the hot thing was last year. In each video, we use two cameras that we own. We shoot them side-by-side in the same room, under the same lights, using the same script.
Two owned cameras, same test, every time
Both cameras owned
No borrowed units on either side of a comparison.
Same room, same script
Identical lighting and setup, so differences are the camera, not the conditions.
Use-case verdicts, not one winner
The camera might be fine in low light, but it could have bad stabilization – we don’t simply overlook that and assign a rating.
Grouped by category, not brand
We categorize tests according to sensor size. We also categorize them by price. We don’t categorize them based on brand wars.
