Canon RF 800mm F11 vs 100-500mm + 1.4x: Ultimate Sharpness Comparison

Can we get the same sharpness from a cheaper lens? Is Canon L series really THAT much better? In this video, we aim to answer these questions by unboxing the Canon RF 800 F11 while comparing it to my personally favorite lens: Canon's 100-500. We will keep the lens zoomed to its maximum range, and will pair it with the Canon RF 1.4x teleconverter for an effective and comparable focal length of 700mm and a maximum aperture of f/10. We will keep this lens set to f/11 to match our 800mm and will offer side-by-side image detail analysis. Aside from the obvious differences with size, weather sealing, aperture, minimum focus, autofocus, image stabilization, and more, this video leaves a lot to discuss! Join us as we explore the similarities and differences between these two fundamentally different setups! 00:00 - Introduction and Example Images 01:19 - Unboxing the RF 800mm f/11 02:28 - Photographing Examples w/ 800mm 03:00 - Photographing Examples w/ 100-500 + 1.4x 03:31 - 100-500 Lens Controls Overview 03:54 - Import Into Lightroom 08:06 - Test Result Side-by-Side 09:00 - Image Stabilizer Side-by-Side 09:10 - Final Comparisons & Thoughts Gear Used in This Video: Canon EOS R5C + SmallRig Cage + Wooden Camera NATO Rail Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Canon RF 1.4x Teleconverter Three Legged Thing Albert 2.0 Benro V2E Ball Head Fujifilm X-H1 + Battery Grip Fuji 35/2.0 WR Heliopan 0.9 ND Sennheiser G3 + Countryman B3 Lavalier Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ball Head Sirui Explorer Series AR-3204 Mac Studio M1 Ultra + Adobe Creative Cloud BenQ SW270C Subscribe here to my brand new YouTube channel for more in-depth gear reviews and photography tutorials!
