Canon 5D Mark III vs OnePlus One

[EXIV]

While usually (for those who know my work) I post exclusively about "raw video", this time I am here to share a first straightforward comparison between the Canon 5D Mark III (with Magic Lantern) and the OnePlus One.

I am really pleased with the result, but I must admit that I am not particularly surprised, for two specific reasons:

- I am know that the one of the Canon 5D Mark III biggest issue is the softness (lack of sharpness).
- having properly tested the phone in different environments, I am well aware of the fact that this phone shoots great stuff in ideal light condition.

Just so you can have a clearer idea of the potential of this camera, take a look at this video (for those who can I suggest to switch on 4K) and compare it with a similar one I did years ago with the 5D.

I suggest you to take a look at this page, where you can find more tests (videos and pictures): http://giacomomantovani.com/blog/oneplusone

I just took a still with both the "cameras" so you can compare them. Also in this case the OnePlus One seems doing really well (in "Clear Image" mode).
