A higher number of pixels is not always a good thing! In this video we explain the advantages to lower megapixel cameras for video and why 4K cinema cameras use less megapixels than most modern photography cameras.

The Canon EOS R5 (and R6) as well as the Sony A7sIII are great cameras. They all have their pros and cons. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Cheers,

Cliff & Kajun
