Soft Footage from 70D
I recently upgraded from an original 7D to a 70D and I was expecting an improvement in the video quality, sadly it seems no better.
Im filming indoors, mainly machinery. I have plenty of light so Im able to keep the ISO at 640 or lower and Im using either a Canon EFS 24mm or Nifty Fifty MK1 both of which seem to be quite sharp lenses. Im generally disappointed in the sharpness of the image. I film in ALL-i 24fps, picture profile is STD with the sharpness turned down to zero. Applying sharpness in FCPX to values around 2.5-7.5, any more and it started to look artificial but still not as sharp as I would like compared to tier cameras Ive seen. Is there any truth in what some people say about Canon DSLRs being soft? |

Note that many modern cameras can still employ this sort of line skipping in HD. Even though I deliver almost everything still in HD, I always film in 4k on my Sony A7 IV because the HD looks so soft. Camera manufactures don't usually disclose they line skip. |

Thanks for the reply, thats disappointing to hear but at least it lets me know where Im at and that it isnt me.
Ive just borrowed a 90D this morning and recording in 4K with the same lens shows more detail for sure but the difference isnt exactly night/day. Im starting to think a camcorder might give me better results. |
