Typically when you see a camera comparison it is between two similar price-point cameras like the A7S vs. GH4<\/a>, the RED Epic Dragon vs. ARRI Alexa<\/a>, or the Canon 5D Mark iii vs. the BlackMagic Cinema Camera<\/a>. However, the following video comparison features a few cameras that are completely different in almost every way, the A7S and the RED Epic Dragon.<\/p>\n Here’s a quick look at a few of the camera specs side-by-side:<\/p>\n

Despite their\u00a0major technical differences it may be hard to pick a clear winner in video quality once the video is compressed and uploaded online.<\/p>\n That’s not to say that the RED Epic Dragon is equal or inferior to the A7S…the Dragon is in most ways a superior camera. However, if\u00a0you are contemplating buying just a RED Epic Dragon or an A7S decked out with gear and camera support (even then the price would be lower than the RED) you might consider going\u00a0with the A7S. The following video created by Dave Dugdale of Learning DSLR Video<\/a> shows us a side-by-side comparison of\u00a0these two cameras.<\/p>\n |
