Zoom vs Prime Side by Side Test! Which is Best?

I field test Canons 500mm Prime and Zoom to find out which is best. Do you need a prime or can you simply use a zoom with a crop or high MP body? Let's head out into the field and find out. I hope you enjoy, Cheers, Duade ------------------------------ DXO PureRAW Trial Link - Affiliate Link 👍https://tidd.ly/3hH0Kta ------------------------------- Topaz Denoise 👍https://topazlabs.com/denoise-ai-2/ref/426/ ------------------------------- 🖼️Video Gallery: https://photos.duadepaton.com/Youtube/Prime-Vs-Zoom ------------------------------- Cameras - Affiliate Links 🛒Canon R6 https://geni.us/08Ro 🛒Canon R5 https://geni.us/IshRd 🛒DJI Pocket 2 https://geni.us/gAmY 🛒Insta Go 360 2 https://geni.us/JkFeNDp 🛒DJI Air2s Drone https://geni.us/qYhA2A My Lenses 🛒Canon RF100-400 https://geni.us/avzOe 🛒Canon RF800 f11 https://geni.us/yhnjyl 🛒Canon RF100-500 https://geni.us/wLTrLf 🛒Canon RF35 1.8 https://geni.us/T3OrIs6 🛒Canon RF24-105 f4 https://geni.us/o1Dyw7 🛒Canon EF500 F4 IS II https://geni.us/YMFVl Audio - Wireless Mic 🛒Rode Wireless Go 2 https://geni.us/FhjPXr Tripod 🛒Benro CF Tripod (C373T) https://geni.us/c0RMABZ 🛒Induro GHB2 Gimbal Head https://geni.us/qvydGBt 🛒Skimmer Ground Pod https://bit.ly/3F7QHqo 🛒Weifeng 6663A Tripod /Ballhead https://ebay.to/3ArL5W3 Monitor 🛒Ninja 5 monitor https://geni.us/aLZv6J Bag Hide 🛒Lenscoat Lenshide https://store.naturescapes.net/lenscoat-lenshide-lightweight/ Bag 🛒Think Tank Photo Airport Commuter Backpack https://geni.us/5cu7NQ Accessories 🛒Lexar Professional 1066x 128GB CF Card https://geni.us/eT0dAO 🛒Blitz CFExpress Type B Card 256GB https://amzn.to/3g3AYxw ------------------------------- Join this channel to support me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7cMXJb97jITBo5jMBdAsTw/join -------------------- 👍My Paypal if you wish to donate directly: https://www.paypal.me/DuadePaton Business enquiries: duade.paton@gmail.com ------------------------------- 👍Follow Me & View My Images ------------------------------- Website: https://www.duadepaton.com 🖼️Gallery of my photos: https://photos.duadepaton.com 🖼️Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duadepaton ------------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:36 Prime or Zoom for Wildlife? 02:24 Waterbird Photography 03:53 APSC Crop Mode on R5 05:22 Spoonbills & Kangaroos 07:27 Yellow-billed Spoonbill 08:42 Lens Comparison Heron 09:08 Grebes & APSC Mode 10:10 Sulphur Crested Cockatoo 11:04 1.4 converter 12:16 White-faced Heron 14:58 Pacific Black Duck 15:56 Golden-headed Cisticola 16:41 Conclusion ------------------------------- Music Aerian / As We Dream / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Candelion/ Anten Before Dawn / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Candelion/Pretty Little Liar / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com
