Should be a solid year 🤞

hoping to try it out someday!

@@DanYosua recently picked it up myself and mate it's a big boii haha but the images are so crisppp

@@rhemtro I'm sure 😂 I want the performance without the size or cost. What do you typically shoot?

@@DanYosua mostly weddings and couples, so the f2 is defo useful for me

Haha the 100-400 is shockingly light, so I'm sure it makes for a little bit of an adjustment. I'm all for moving stuff along that I don't use heavily enough myself. In the case of the 50mm, it doesn't take up that much room and you won't be able to get a huge return, so it might be worth holding if you seldomly use it. Otherwise no sense in keeping it if you truly don't use it at all, don't want it for portraits, or don't anticipate needing something in low light.

@@DanYosua thanks for advice. yeah makes sense. low light filming would be the only thing i might consider it for. but that being said the F4 is doing fine with higher ISOs and 1.8 or even 2.2 will be too blurry for product shots... anyway your points are on spot and i will give it some time to think before i throw it away for cheap. cheers mate!

Thanks for the kind words, glad it was helpful! Pack week around late November is definitely the time to jump in on f-stop stuff if you think it's a good fit and can wait. I could be wrong, but I think they reliably run that sale week and not much, if any others, throughout the year.

I can't speak too much to the exact differences between generations. In the future I'd love to do that if I find them different enough to upgrade. That said, my Tilopa is the same gen as the 40L. Both materials I've found durable, but I do like the Duradiamond material and find I rarely use the rain cover because of it (I do break it out occasionally on the Tilopa, just in case). If you think you can skip that, I think you can find the previous Ajna gen bags for a steal.

It is nice to have some lens IS with the R8. I love the 28mm and 50mm on that body, but I do miss the IS as compared to the 35mm sometimes.

Even one is good enough to start! I only had the nifty 50mm for awhile when I started. But that trio would be great to explore which focal lengths you like best over time.

Do you have a favorite?

When you start filming an intro that doesn't end up quite fitting the rest of the video 😅🙈

@@DanYosua but you still managed to fit it in 😂 your storytelling skills are on point 👌

Are they both Canon batteries?

yes, LP-E6NHs also the same with an LP-E6Ns. There is only one slot working, closest to the insert's lock.

@lesnayalesichka that’s a bummer, there might be a local place you can get it checked out. Otherwise I’m not sure what might cause that

Thanks! I've come a long way in Lightroom since these 😅 I'm planning some LR/PS videos, so consider sticking around. I'm going to break down some Milk Way edits from this same state park in my next video, early ~August

@@DanYosua I'm from China and like your work very much. How can I communicate more with you?

@user-je5tb6id2p thank you! I try to answer most of the comments, even on older videos like these. So feel free to drop more on whichever videos interest you.

I'd say hell yes if it wasn't for the lens rattle. Hoping it's not as bad as it seems.

I am curious to see that in person, it seems kind of excessive...

🤣🤣 I was literally just at that same spot again this weekend for the new moon. Unfortunately it was pretty hazy, and I didn't nail focus anyway 💀

Thanks! It was my first shot at something like this, I have a great appreciation for those that make each and every vid like this. Are you looking at one of the zooms?

I don't have anything else to compare to, but it does seem to do really well if you get the exposure anywhere close. I tend to get caught underexposing, but I blew some of those skies out at Hobbiton unfortunately 😅

When it's not too cumbersome, it's nice to have it recording some b-roll that I can add to show the seconds surrounding and following any given photo. Mostly useful for making these videos, social content, or in rare cases, maybe to catch a moment you missed on the photo camera. I would use this more often these days, but the HERO9 is getting pretty old and it's finicky to use quickly on the fly.

@@DanYosua nice! never thought about this. ill order the adaptar

@palmasolutions yeah if you have one lying around, it’s pretty cheap to adapt it how you want with some combination of cold shoe/quarter 20/gopro mounting feet

The 16 might be a great option for that wide and fast astro, I'm hoping to try it eventually. I just used the RF 28mm pancake in place of my Sigma 28mm on my most recent trip, because as you said, I was trying to cut down on flight weight/size.

Haha at least for outside! Wish I had something that long that was also an F4 or F5.6

How are you liking the R5C?

I don't have it anymore, but are there specific issues with image quality you're facing? I would make that upgrade if you're looking for a big jump in 4k video capability or continuous shooting speed, or AF reliability for moving objects in tricky scenes. Things like noise performance are probably pretty similar.

Thanks, and great choice, glad you're liking it!

Ive been using an old ef 35-80iii f4-5.6 with my rp that suits my travel standard focal lenth needs quite well. Sits nice in the hand with the adapter. Ill pack the rf24 with it if things get a little out of bounds. If canon came out with an up to date version of this lens, preferably in a 2.8 style. I would be head over heals.

I'd love to see a small RF 24-50 f2.8

Not a bad idea! I've been wondering about trying LRTimelapse someday.

Haha a weird one for sure, and definitely leaned into the music here, glad you liked it. I do find that I use the control rings a bit with the R8 in a way that I never seem to use them anymore on the R6.

Thanks! I think those two are a great combo, especially if you're using the R7 to make the most of the 100-400mm reach. I really liked shooting clips in the 4k crop mode when I rented the R7.

Haha well that's very kind to call it "grading" because I too feel like a noob 😅 The half-macros would occasionally get stuck for me, which is annoying. I'm really interested in trying the new 35mm, though it will likely be a LONG time before I get my hands on one.

Hell of a first mirrorless. It's funny, I started with a t7i and nifty 50mm. I thought I would love photography, but wasn't sure, and that was a big purchase at the time. If I had known I'd fall in this deep 5 years ago, R8 would have been approachable yet with plenty to learn and maybe worth splurging for used. The RP has an interesting place now. For people that can find them on a killer deal, something like that would still have been treating me fine for a lot of my hiking shooting.

Started with 77D and a few EFS lenses. (Also huge purchases for me at the time!) I knew I love photography but didn’t realize I’d get this deep into this hobby! Lots of my purchase decision were heavily influenced by this channel! Anyway, going back to your vid, I couldn’t help but notice the different approach you went for here. Slow clap for the effort! You deserve more subscribers!

Appreciate the callout, a very different one and a lot of effort, hopefully not wasted 😅 We'll see how it does, but it was a fun edit for me regardless.

Wait... what?! 😅 lol I liked keeping them for packing, but the more I lean toward selling things mpb, the fewer boxes I need in my life

I was legit thinking of you when I was exporting this. I had just saved your latest vid to watch later, and thought some of this was up your alley haha. I'm really trying to drive my R6 into the ground for photos long-term, but if I was forced to consolidate what I have into one body, R6ii would definitely be it. I love the R8 as a top down with the c-stand/boom combo. I'll use my phone for that when I need a third, but prefer a dedicated camera. Still using and liking the 100-400mm, but feel a little unqualified to compare to the 100-500 or 200-800 as I still haven't used either. There is a bit of a learning curve to shooting long, conditions and light and distance to subject all seem to play a bigger role. When you get close to your subject it's great on the lower mp stuff, at least. Of note, depending on your use, 400mm still feels short. I'm cropping on almost every single shot, many times fairly heavy. Ideally the R7 is where you get this to shine, but when I tested that, the AF was more finicky and it's not quite as good at recovering in low light (which is usually where you live with the f8 at dusk).

Thanks, appreciate you watching! The RP to R6 jump felt big for me, and was also very glad I did it. And good on your for trying both and finding what fits. I still prefer the 35mm for a talking head angle, but the 28mm was a better compromise for me elsewhere. I'll be interested to see if they make any more in the 28mm form factor.

@@DanYosua Absolutely, there are just so many quality of life improvements in the R6 when coming from the RP. As for another pancake in the same housing, there is precedent for that with the 35/24 and 16/50 as well as the old EF 24/40 pair of pancakes, so hopefully we will see another tiny lens from Canon in the future, although what focal length such a lens would be is anyone's guess.

Probably not lenses they'll announce with the R1/R5ii next month, but maybe 😂

I don't find it bothers me much mainly because I only use it ~25% of the time. I'm not even sure why I don't use it more generally, I just prefer the screen flipped out I guess. When I am primarily in the EVF, with the 100-400 for example, I'm trusting both cameras very heavily to grab an eye, and they both do well. I think if I used one better than both, coming back would be tougher.

Weird one for sure, great feedback though. I spent a lot of time trying to refine that part once choosing this direction. Probably an edit to set aside for a week and come back to... but alas. Good to consider for next time.

@@DanYosua I enjoyed it, and look forward to the next one… take care!

Haha four can be a lot on small/light trips. How’s the 16mm?

@@DanYosua not bad I'd say, it gets the job done when you really wanna go wide when you can't afford the 15-35mm (Like myself lol). I used it in Iceland and actually sold a landscape shot that I took with it on the R8.

@@Brianmc2134 oh sick, that must have been an awesome trip and a great feeling! Iceland is high on my list but we'll see when it happens. Affordability has kept me away from the 15-35 so far too.

unfortunately not, I don't believe there's a way to mount RF glass on the EF-M mount.

Thanks!

@@DanYosua 🙂👍

Nice, are you looking at the R6?

@@DanYosua I got the R5 and the 70-200mm. Can’t wait to go to some games!

Appreciate the comment, helps let me know I’m on the right track. Gut feel, what number would you have expected to see based on the content? Almost everything in the last 9 months my main a-roll is the R8. Especially the podcasts. R6 is my main photo body… and R8 was supposed to be a 6 month try and sell. But I got more photo work than I expected this year so I’ve kept it a bit longer. Next vid is mainly the R8 shots in NZ. I only had both together for a short time, but with the 70-200s, the distances between you, your subject, and your background (plus focal length) seem to be much more important for the look than the one stop. If you’re in tight spots and can’t control, maybe it helps a little. But I think the 2.8 is more useful for keeping the noise lower in dark environments and higher shutter speed shooting. For truly magical pop, 85 is something I look to for that.

​@@DanYosua I honestly was surprised that you didnt have AT LEAST upwards of 50k followers like the other photography youtubers i watch. I'm serious. I've no doubt it'll happen. The R8 is my main (or only) camera and i love it for being everything i want - since i am not shooting professionally. And that is also the reason why i am so "critical" about the f4 version. Since i am just starting out i feel like i want to be able to shoot everything without spending toooo much money on it. I love zooming in on everything when i am outside, but i also love (the idea of) taking very pleasant portraits. All with the wish/hope of getting better and ultimately professional. And i also love the idea that i dont have to carry around more than 1-2 lenses. So a telezoom that can do portraits would be kind of the perfect lense for me. I have the RF 50 1.8 (it too cheap not to have it), the 35 1.8 (thats the focal length that works best in my home studio setup but i dont like the wide photos) and the 24-105 F 4-7.1, which is a good lense for what it is - but the aperture.. Anyhow compression is the one thing i love the most in photos, since it makes the photos more "dense" and impactfull. Hence my interest in the 70-200. Maybe my "problem" is that i want something above 85 especially for everything besides portaits, but i am also not willing to spend another 2-3k on a great 85mm. Maybe the 85 F2 + the 70-200 F4 would be exactly what i need. Well at this point i'm just rambling :D Thank you for your reply and also thank you for the great videos you made because not only are they actually entertaining but also insightful AND feel to be a little more like your actual opinion than some of the other videos out there. No need to get back on this! I think this is just something i have to consider myself in the end. But please keep it up!

P.S.: your way of talking is not only pleasant to listen to, but also makes me want to hear what's next. Which is making me watch your videos to the end. A very small "but": the sound is a little like scratchy compared to other youtubers. As in the mic or the processing isnt perfect with the s-sounds or the higher end. But this might just be me though!

Lol 50k, maybe if I ever manage more than one video a month 😅 Super helpful though, thanks for taking the time to expand! The "one lens" argument I do think is one of the stronger ones in favor of the f2.8 for people on the edge of enthusiast/part-time pro. If it really can do it all (most) for you then any weight and size hesitations start to fade away because it's the only thing in the bag. If you're able to spend a long weekend with one, you'll probably have a good idea either way. The audio feedback is good too, something I've wrestled with a bit. I need to practice more post and need to project more into the mic to begin with I think.
