My main camera right now is the 5D Mark II. Today is printed of a chart just to compare the two.
First, I used two Nikon lenses that should be similar in resolving power, to give the cameras the same field of view. The Canon had the Nikon non AI 50mm F1.4 lens, set to F 5.6. The Sony had the Nikon non AI 35mm F 2.0 set to F 5.6. I did have to pull the Canon back a bit to reach critical focus...probably about 6 inches. A
I shot video files from each initially static, then panning. I dragged files into Vegas and grabbed frames to compare. The ones attached are typical. During the panning part of the test, it was clear that the Canon was aliasing so much more that the Sony.
Send me PM email from site and I will give you a link to a YouSendit file if you want to download the chart videos. About 130 megs apiece.
