I have both of those cameras. Comparing the recorded color that you get right out of the box Canon is incredible and I have to adjust the Sony to match. The Canon's menu is more professional than the Sony. Okay the Canon has a remote with menu but the Sony has wifi built in and the manual has the name of the app you upload to your phone which allows you remotely record start, stop and zoom while seeing what the camera is pointed at on the phone. The Canon you have to see the screen. Both shoot in low light the Sony has night vision.The Sony has a wide angle lens and 4k. They both record audio really well. The Sony does have a feature that will somehow block your voice from being recorded. I have yet to try to use it. The Canon comes with an attachable lens sunshade that looks cool with a door that flips up to protect the lens or use the lens cap the Sony has an automatic shutter over the lens to protect it built in. I was hoping to buy another Canon but they didn't have one and it was the last day the Sony was on sale. I am glad I got the Sony.
