I think it's great to see long term "year later" reviews and thoughts about gear. They are much more meaningful than the initial release marketing hype when a new product comes out. I bought an R5 around late October after its launch and was lucky enough to get it by Christmas. I was switching systems from my MFT gear to full frame. After firmware updates the camera is an absolutely fantastic hybrid camera from Canon. FINALLY! The stills performance is just awesome and the video performance with Canon Log 3 is now great as well. The camera was poo poo'd, rightly in my opinion, from the beginning for the overheating. Canon did the right thing and released firmware to address some of the issues.
I switched from my Sony A73 to an R5 with 50 1.2 glass based off your review video alone, and have been blown away by the performance. Thank you again for everything Jared!
I got my R5 about a month ago and it's just nuts. I just got the RF800 lens and i was capturing still photos of squirrels at 1/250 , hand held and they are razor sharp. I'm so impressed with the stabilization with this camera and RF lenses.
My favorite camera to date. It’s a just amazing in areas and balanced in others. It’s only real fault is overheating in 4k60/120. 45mp, 20fps, skin tones, canon app, wireless raw transfer(#1 plus for me), RF glass, 4kHQ, Ergonomics, it’s still the #1 value a year later.
Just picked up the R5 today. If the camera was released today with current firmware it would be seen as one of the GOATS. Canon refurbished at $2399 is a steal.
I'm a would-be nature photographer. I've had an R5 for a week now and photographing birds in flight is like cheating! To see the autofocus box find the eye of a small bird at a distance is amazing! I've even had it find the eyes on a dragonfly. Stunning tech.

I got involved with photography full time 20 years ago when i retired. After a lot of research, i decided to shoot with Olympus. I was completely sold on Olympus after spending hours at sea photographing whales. When i got back to y hotel, my camera was completely soaked with salt water. I just took the camera in the shower and ran hot water over it for about 5 minutes before drying it off with a towel. The camera still worked like new. Later, I started photographing ballet on a regular basis. I had just purchased my second Olympus camera, the one with their first electronic viewfinder. Unfortunately, when I tried to track a ballet dancer, the viewfinder was completely unusable. It was so badly blurred I could not see the dancer. At this point I switched to Canon and bought the 5D Mark II, then the Mark III, and now I shoot with the EOS R and the EOS R6. I could not be more pleased with shooting with Canon cameras.
I started off with the 90D then got the R5. I do video recording with the 90D and stills only with the R5. The R5 is simply in a class of its own, i use the 90D for videos..

I have The R5 since last September. I think its the best camera, ever done. I had some issues with Tamron lens, but it was fixed by Tamron, last February. I just love the Camera and its photography.
What issues did you have? I have a mix of Sigma and Tamron lenses and I have not been able to get sharp shots with my R5, but I get perfect tack-sharp shots using the same lenses with my EOS R. Which lenses do yo have and how did Tamron fix the issue?

@@MrDubicz Ah, interesting. That's different from what I'm running into. I've checked for updated firmware in the past, a couple of months ago, but I'll check again. My issue seems to be a problem with IBIS. Shots with fast shutter speeds that should be sharp end up being super soft with a lack of detail. It's pretty odd and frustrating to troubleshoot. I've seen reports of a very small percentage of R5 users reporting a sensor misalignment that leads to something similar to this. Unfortunately, since I'm not using Canon lenses, Canon support won't even open a ticket for it, and I don't really blame them. I'm going to test with some RF glass today. That should prove if it's a lens issue or a sensor issue.

Who told you that ... I mean... The RF lineup is good... But if i compare for example the both 50 1.2... The Canon is not even close... I come from the Canon Universe and wouldn't go back even if Canon would give it for free to me
I made the change from the a7ii to the eos r and I’d say I’m happy but I do fantasize about going back every now and then.maybe when the a7iii goes down in price a little I’ll pick one up.
I too bought a Canon R5 and am a very satisfied customer. My only complaint is the lack of glass to be found in stock. I had to buy an adapter off ebay to use my ef glass. The R5 is a beast! As for those who complain about 8k, what the hell are you thinking? I have 2 top of the line gaming computers that take forever to process 8k files. It's not practical to process longer videos with file sizes that will only lock up your computer. Camera files are out pacing the ability of computers to edit such media. 4k is the best resolution for the majority. Back to my main reason for buying the R5, the pics are on another level with the autofocus. I think Canon has an edge over Sony with the combination of ef or rf glass plus the autofocus. Just can't be matched. The only real complaint is the battery life. You will need to buy extra batteries for videos or invest in a battery grip. I have 6 batteries now due to taking trips on the weekend only to find out that it takes a long time to recharge one. Don't find yourself without a fully charged battery. I'm wating to see what the newer flagship models bring to the table in terms of specs and performance. Going to be an interesting year to come!
My only gripe on my R6 is the battery life. So I'd definitely agree on that aspect. Other than that, both the R5 and R6 are amazing tools to use for photographers and hobbyists. Bravo, Canon.!!
You don't have a clue what you are talking about trying to edit 8K video with a gaming computer lol. Video editing requires a video editing workstation.
@@24framestimehis point was typically the same specs that computers have for editing 8k files, gaming computers have them also, sometimes even more efficient specs.
to give perspective (follow up) Camera over heating might be something we have to get used for a while (unless they get really good ARM CPUs...maybe) I have the Sony A7S3. And filming outside, in the sun, in 1080p 30fps, 4.2.2 10bit it WILL over heat and shut down in a couple hours. (not constant recording) I have been getting in the habit of holding my camera and putting it in the shade when not recording.
Not sure if you heard but the R5 has had a little bit of an overheating problem. I fried an egg one time on the flip out screen and it actually was pretty useful that way. It’s a multi tool not just a fashion statement
After using the R5 for over a year, I can safely say that this was the best investment I made into a camera system. Granted though, my first camera was a 6D Mark II and every feature is considered an upgrade. But the R5 made my chances of getting lucky on getting the perfect shot just dumbfounding! I am really impressed with the camera in the stills department and when I dabble in the video, I am immensely impressed by it's capability. Granted though, I only use the video in small samples and I barely use it in general. But having that option to shoot incredible video when primarily using it as a stills camera is incredible!
I agree completely. Cannot say that about Sony A1. The image processing is crude at low ISO, and the lenses are too expensive. I liked Sony back when they were good with NEX. After NEX-7, the quality fell through the cracks, and I don't like that.
I own an R5 since the very beginning. Price that time 4500€. I would by this model again today if needed, the price is quite dropping due to the arrival of R5 Mark II. I'm shootimg 4k video only, I don't need 8k.And you need a powerful computer to edit in 8K. I never had regrets buying this camera. Just the lenses... very pricy too. So I use my older EF-lenses with the adapter and it is fine. Firmware updates are making the R5 more complete, just hating that 29:59 minutes limit. Maybe Canon will do a miracle.
GREAT REVIEW! honestly respect it so much when people come back after a long time use. I am hoping to upgrade to the R5 from the R in the next year or so. (hopefully when the price of the body and cards goes for lower)
The IBIS and IS does work good. I’ve been able to hand hold shots with the R5 and RF100-500 at 500mm at 1/60 and got great sharp images. The only complaint I really have with the R5 is the size, even with the grip I wish it was a little bigger.
I have just jumped from my 1DX/7D2 combo to an R5..I find it was like getting of a bus and jumping on the Starship Enterprise. Everything you said was bang on. No regrets. The autofocus has just made taking wildlife so much easier. Great review.
I'm supposed to buy the Canon R6, I shoot primarily weddings which lasts all day, could you tell me more about the overheating for video. I'll be shooting candids. Also have you'll used the atomos ninja v?
@@enochdias53 fhd no Problem at all, 4K won’t last long, even with external recording. GREAT Quality, love this camera, but the 4K overheating really sucks. Should have bought the r5, you’ll get like unlimited Record time in 4K with external recording.
@@enochdias53 same for me, if fhd is enough for you get the r6. You can shoot 4K but you have to expect it to overheat every minute. After 2 minutes cool Down you are able to go fhd again, of course 4K needs longer. What I heard about the r5 is that it should be capable of 4K External about 3 to 4hours
I do photography full time for a product company, I convinced them to upgrade this year from 5DmarkIII with 24-105 f4 and 50mm f2.8 macro to the R5 paired a 28-70 f2 and 85 f2 macro. The change has been incredible, it is an outstanding set up for the product photography work I do. I shoot on a Sony A7RIII for my personal work - which I think I still prefer over the R5, however, I am getting some strong 28-70 f2 envy and the R5 is the best way to take advantage of it.
@@pdot3972 I absolutely love it. I’ve put it through it’s paces shooting photos in RAW, as well as video in 4k and 8k using the CF-Express cards and it kicks butt. The 8k shuts down after 45 min due to overheating, and that’s with using a grip. The low light capabilities are very good too. I do want to do more astrophotography with it to compare with my previous Sony A7SII, but I’m very impressed all around. A screen that flips front would be cool, but I’m looking at getting a Ninja external recorder anyway so it’s not a big need. Soon I’ll be shooting 50MP shots of the surface of the sun with an h-alpha filter, so that’s going to be sweet. The camera simply does everything great, it’s the 007 of cameras, really.
I started watching your videos because of the content. Now, i'm watching all your videos - not matter if i'm interested in the content - because of your special way ... 🙂
Jared, we need an updated "Canon EOS R5 "Two YEARS Later" REVIEW...does it hold up?" - especially after using the camera with FW v1.6!! Only one major flaw remaining: 29:59 record limit! Doesn't the photography community have enough clout to make Canon issue this change in their next FW release? Obviously not - so far...
The R5 one year review video is a great video indeed. I felt I was receiving good information, the music choices were very nice, and I felt good passion coming from you explaining what you thought about it. Keep these videos up my brother!
Totally agree that Canon should open up the RF mount to third-party lens makers, although it is quite nice that the RF->EF adapter basically solves for this for the time being. As usual, great and balanced review, thank you!
but didnt third party manufactures like samyang already made RF lenses? the Samyang 85mm f1.4 RF and 14mm f2.8 RF are only around 600-700$ and are great.
About a week ago I decided it was finally time to upgrade from my 1DX Mark I. And there was no question what that that next camera would be - the Mark III, of course. Now here I am, just a few days of research later, and it's looking more and more like I'll be joining the masses and going mirrorless. R5 here I come. Wish me luck, and thanks for the great review.
6:55 - I agree, I'd like Canon to open up a bit personally. What I want in particular to use is Voigtlander manual lenses on it. Only Sony has it at the moment and I don't want to own 2 systems once I switch from the EF-mount to the RF-mount.
I love my R5. I've had everything from a 20D up through the 1DX Mark II and the R5 is just another step above. It's helped me kick my side business into high gear and I love it!
It would be a nice touch if you could have added some quick remarks near the end regarding the EOS-R, the R6, or the RP as entry points to the R system. The R5 is amazing, but for a budget shooter, or a hobbyist, or someone else just starting out, given the high cost of Canon R glass, are the lower tier cameras, with their less advanced specs, a good entry point, or are they too much of a compromise, and too hamstrung ? Especially when compared to say starting out in the Sony or Nikon ecosystem?
Thank you for this follow-up Jared. I do primarily landscape and architecture photography and love making gigantic prints. I'm still using a 5DsR, and have a fortune of EF glass. For mirrorless I'm still using a Sony A7r3. For some reason I haven't gotten myself to fully commit to the Sony system, and on the Canon side I have a stroke every time I calculate how much it would cost to switch over to the R5. Maybe if and when a R5 mk 2 becomes a thing I'll be ready to take the plunge. I'll keep getting my Fro news fix until then.
I have over 10k in EF glass, and $0 in RF glass. With the R5 and EF adapter, I feel zero need to buy RF glass. I imagine I’ll get some RF lenses eventually, but right now, the R5 has given new life to my EF glass.
Still probably the best camera to date. Even beats Sonys A1 considering prize and especially the lenses (and if you don’t need any specific A1 features, the r5 actually beats it in many aspects from video quality, stable frame rates auto focus etc ). I really like that canon is even improving on it via updates like adding vehicle detecting that just came out for the R3. But as mentioned above, probably even better are the lenses. Those alone are worth getting this camera. The unique ones like the Rf 28-70 f2 or the 70-200 f2.8 which only exist here are probably the best lenses in the market to get. Yes it’s expensive. But for the ones looking for extraordinary quality not found anywhere else, they will find it here. Regarding heat problem I also find that overly exaggerated. I guess some just tried to find something to criticize even if it didn’t make sense. But who is actually able to record 8k raw for 10 minutes when the file size is gigantic? And who record a single cut with 20 minutes? Everyone who actually does will get a dedicated video device like an c70 anyway. Definitely glad getting this camera and after over a year of using it professionally, I actually just ordered a second one..
What is amazing about the R5 is aside from sensor size, it is the only camera on the market as of 2022 that can legitimately compete with the almost flawless performance and imaging quality you would get from a Phase One or RED camera, which cost as much as a new car (such as Chevrolet Cruze). Phase One or RED require little skill to learn and easy to setup, but the size is intimidating and uncomfortable so portability is unfit for the casual user even if can be afforded. May be more geared for a camera crew, and yes, you usually see Canon more often as a secondary camera when the modular equipment is undesirable, and Nikon a close second. Some Nikon DSLRs can give great results, but you may be paying quite a bit more.
I'm a Sony shooter for video and photos but it's really nice to have viable mirrorless cameras from Canon to keep the mirrorless trend rolling forward. I don't hesitate to recommend the R5 and R6 to people who are already in the Canon ecosystem when they are looking to upgrade. I think the biggest downside right now for Canon is the lack of 3rd party glass. They really need to open that up to allow a variety of lens options for everyone.
Canon asserted recently again that they perceive 3rd party support as "competition", rather than a welcome complement. That's the main reason why I'm not going to consider Canon (nor Nikon Z for the same reason).
I have been a Nikon shooter since the mid 80's. My last purchase was a Z7II last spring. Great sensor, wonderful pictures, soso autofocus.... Had all my gear stolen a few weeks ago. 1st time looking at Canon and Sony and can see where I will likely not be a Nikon shooter again. Thanks for the great video, have watched many of them. The R5 is looking very tasty... I wish they would get 3rd party glass, same with Nikon. Don't want to carry adapters if I don't need to.... I have become spoiled by the amazing technology we have....
If you like to use wide apertures, try renting or borrowing an R5 + EF adapter for a day or two. Caution! You’ll likely become unsatisfied with your 5D3, and ready to spend $$$ on purchasing an R5. Seeing 95%+ sharp keepers @ f/1.2, is addictive.
Really loving my 2x R5’s - I don’t really do video except for the odd 4K HQ clip here and then... definitely agree about the RF glass / sharpness / colour, and ability to shoot reliably at 1.2 I won’t be upgrading bodies again for a long time, instead investing more in other gear like RF glass and lighting
Those flamingo pics are some of my favs of your shots you've shared! I would love to own an r5! Maybe even the R3......And i love it with that 800mm lens......
Loving my R5 too. By far the best camera I have ever owned, including at least one other that cost more than the R5. Jared (or anyone who knows), can you refer me to which video explains the focus settings/modes used for sports photography?
Great review Jared. I brought the R5 earlier this year after watching one of your previous videos and really pleased with the camera. I have seen the overheating warning when shooting at 100FPS in hot weather but its not a major problem. Cheers Keith
i love the R5 after upgrading it from the EOS R . I dropped the 24-105 F4 with the R and started looking at RF glass . the problems is when you have a mix of RF and EF glass and changing then in the fly is a pain unless you have several adaptors to keep on the EF ones LOL so RF28-70 was my first WOW love it. RF70-200 F2.8 second . RF100-500 OMG this is ace to focus at 1.2mtrs when at 500mm gives a beautiful image (IMO ) next the RF100 Macro and later either the RF15-35 f2.8 or RF14-35 F4 Ive got to wait for cash but also to find out how good the F4 is . and then im done well at least till a second hand RF85 F1.2 LOL but I dont need that just want
I just watched the video, this was a good video lol!!!
It's a great video! Looking forward to taking my new R5 to Jackson Hole this week!
I watched it at 2x as I have no plans to exit Nikon and found that it was easier to watch...lololol Still a good video though.

@@ЭтоДрючинский maybe he doesn't need much color grading and like the out of camera with canon unlike the other brands
I switched from a Sony a7r4 to the R5 and glad I did. Nothing wrong with the Sony but Canon glass is superior, so glad I switched.
Who told you that ... I mean... The RF lineup is good... But if i compare for example the both 50 1.2... The Canon is not even close...
I come from the Canon Universe and wouldn't go back even if Canon would give it for free to me
@@bojangbg 50mm 1.2 35mm 1.4 135mm 1.8 24mm 1.4
Only Sony glass that is good. The rest is out dated and junk. The 50 Rf and the 50 gm are so close
Canon glass oversized overpriced and onion bokeh is its fingerprint, due to heavy use of aspherical elements.
I made the change from the a7ii to the eos r and I’d say I’m happy but I do fantasize about going back every now and then.maybe when the a7iii goes down in price a little I’ll pick one up.
… funny, just switched to the a1. 🤷🏼♂️
I too bought a Canon R5 and am a very satisfied customer. My only complaint is the lack of glass to be found in stock. I had to buy an adapter off ebay to use my ef glass. The R5 is a beast! As for those who complain about 8k, what the hell are you thinking? I have 2 top of the line gaming computers that take forever to process 8k files. It's not practical to process longer videos with file sizes that will only lock up your computer. Camera files are out pacing the ability of computers to edit such media. 4k is the best resolution for the majority. Back to my main reason for buying the R5, the pics are on another level with the autofocus. I think Canon has an edge over Sony with the combination of ef or rf glass plus the autofocus. Just can't be matched. The only real complaint is the battery life. You will need to buy extra batteries for videos or invest in a battery grip. I have 6 batteries now due to taking trips on the weekend only to find out that it takes a long time to recharge one. Don't find yourself without a fully charged battery. I'm wating to see what the newer flagship models bring to the table in terms of specs and performance. Going to be an interesting year to come!
My only gripe on my R6 is the battery life. So I'd definitely agree on that aspect. Other than that, both the R5 and R6 are amazing tools to use for photographers and hobbyists. Bravo, Canon.!!
You don't have a clue what you are talking about trying to edit 8K video with a gaming computer lol. Video editing requires a video editing workstation.
@@24framestime And what computer/ workstation would you use and what are the specs? How do you edit 8k videos? Give the world details....... please.
@@markcain8683 you’ll find all the details that the world can access with a Google search
@@24framestimehis point was typically the same specs that computers have for editing 8k files, gaming computers have them also, sometimes even more efficient specs.
to give perspective (follow up) Camera over heating might be something we have to get used for a while (unless they get really good ARM CPUs...maybe) I have the Sony A7S3. And filming outside, in the sun, in 1080p 30fps, 4.2.2 10bit it WILL over heat and shut down in a couple hours. (not constant recording) I have been getting in the habit of holding my camera and putting it in the shade when not recording.
Love your videos, amazing work as always!
Not sure if you heard but the R5 has had a little bit of an overheating problem. I fried an egg one time on the flip out screen and it actually was pretty useful that way. It’s a multi tool not just a fashion statement
After using the R5 for over a year, I can safely say that this was the best investment I made into a camera system. Granted though, my first camera was a 6D Mark II and every feature is considered an upgrade. But the R5 made my chances of getting lucky on getting the perfect shot just dumbfounding! I am really impressed with the camera in the stills department and when I dabble in the video, I am immensely impressed by it's capability. Granted though, I only use the video in small samples and I barely use it in general. But having that option to shoot incredible video when primarily using it as a stills camera is incredible!
I agree completely. Cannot say that about Sony A1. The image processing is crude at low ISO, and the lenses are too expensive. I liked Sony back when they were good with NEX. After NEX-7, the quality fell through the cracks, and I don't like that.
Last talk , portrait beast A1 or R5 ?
Great review Jared! 👌😎
I own an R5 since the very beginning. Price that time 4500€. I would by this model again today if needed, the price is quite dropping due to the arrival of R5 Mark II. I'm shootimg 4k video only, I don't need 8k.And you need a powerful computer to edit in 8K. I never had regrets buying this camera. Just the lenses... very pricy too. So I use my older EF-lenses with the adapter and it is fine. Firmware updates are making the R5 more complete, just hating that 29:59 minutes limit. Maybe Canon will do a miracle.
The best Canon camera ever made! 🙌🙌🙌
GREAT REVIEW! honestly respect it so much when people come back after a long time use.
I am hoping to upgrade to the R5 from the R in the next year or so. (hopefully when the price of the body and cards goes for lower)
The IBIS and IS does work good. I’ve been able to hand hold shots with the R5 and RF100-500 at 500mm at 1/60 and got great sharp images.
The only complaint I really have with the R5 is the size, even with the grip I wish it was a little bigger.
The R3 is coming. Announcement this week? Bigger body, faster sensor, etc. for those looking for a little more. But, I love my R5.
I have just jumped from my 1DX/7D2 combo to an R5..I find it was like getting of a bus and jumping on the Starship Enterprise. Everything you said was bang on. No regrets. The autofocus has just made taking wildlife so much easier. Great review.
Still in love with my R5 👌🏽
Excellent and reassuring video, with some great demo shots, thanks.
Love my r6. The 4K IBIS and photos are so unbelievably impressive.
Yeah same, but the Overheating really sucks
I'm supposed to buy the Canon R6, I shoot primarily weddings which lasts all day, could you tell me more about the overheating for video. I'll be shooting candids. Also have you'll used the atomos ninja v?
@@enochdias53 fhd no Problem at all, 4K won’t last long, even with external recording. GREAT Quality, love this camera, but the 4K overheating really sucks. Should have bought the r5, you’ll get like unlimited Record time in 4K with external recording.
@@dirtvalle thank you, I didn't buy yet, but I'll probably try the R5. My issue is with finance, but I'll try.
@@enochdias53 same for me, if fhd is enough for you get the r6. You can shoot 4K but you have to expect it to overheat every minute. After 2 minutes cool Down you are able to go fhd again, of course 4K needs longer. What I heard about the r5 is that it should be capable of 4K External about 3 to 4hours
R5 and the 28-70 f2 is a killer combo. Literally can do almost anything you need.
I do photography full time for a product company, I convinced them to upgrade this year from 5DmarkIII with 24-105 f4 and 50mm f2.8 macro to the R5 paired a 28-70 f2 and 85 f2 macro. The change has been incredible, it is an outstanding set up for the product photography work I do. I shoot on a Sony A7RIII for my personal work - which I think I still prefer over the R5, however, I am getting some strong 28-70 f2 envy and the R5 is the best way to take advantage of it.
As a Sony A1 shooter, I do enjoy how honest and brutal you are in your videos towards any brand and any camera. The disclosures are helpful too.
Do you like your A1?? I’m thinking about upgrading from R5 to the A1
@@pdot3972 I absolutely love it. I’ve put it through it’s paces shooting photos in RAW, as well as video in 4k and 8k using the CF-Express cards and it kicks butt. The 8k shuts down after 45 min due to overheating, and that’s with using a grip.
The low light capabilities are very good too. I do want to do more astrophotography with it to compare with my previous Sony A7SII, but I’m very impressed all around. A screen that flips front would be cool, but I’m looking at getting a Ninja external recorder anyway so it’s not a big need. Soon I’ll be shooting 50MP shots of the surface of the sun with an h-alpha filter, so that’s going to be sweet.
The camera simply does everything great, it’s the 007 of cameras, really.
i’ve got the R6 and it is amazing
Canon R5 and R6 are both great!
I noticed that the CF express card adds to the heat build up
That too! We try to usually shoot with sd cards in 4k hq because we’ve also noticed it heats up much quicker with the cfexpress cards
I love my R5s and R6s!! The best purchases I've ever made.
I started watching your videos because of the content. Now, i'm watching all your videos - not matter if i'm interested in the content - because of your special way ... 🙂
Jared, we need an updated "Canon EOS R5 "Two YEARS Later" REVIEW...does it hold up?" - especially after using the camera with FW v1.6!! Only one major flaw remaining: 29:59 record limit! Doesn't the photography community have enough clout to make Canon issue this change in their next FW release? Obviously not - so far...
Skittles is also my favorite preset for color.
Which fropack is skittle in?
@@abeldaking fropack 1
Loving my Canon R6.... Great buy
You’re my go-to Jared! Love it. As always great video.
The R5 one year review video is a great video indeed. I felt I was receiving good information, the music choices were very nice, and I felt good passion coming from you explaining what you thought about it. Keep these videos up my brother!
One of the best reviews of the R5! Legendary camera. Great work Jared!
fabulous review , Jared just keeps getting better
Totally agree that Canon should open up the RF mount to third-party lens makers, although it is quite nice that the RF->EF adapter basically solves for this for the time being. As usual, great and balanced review, thank you!
but didnt third party manufactures like samyang already made RF lenses? the Samyang 85mm f1.4 RF and 14mm f2.8 RF are only around 600-700$ and are great.
@@MikedieONE I didn't know that Samyang had a couple of RF lenses. Thanks for sharing!
About a week ago I decided it was finally time to upgrade from my 1DX Mark I. And there was no question what that that next camera would be - the Mark III, of course. Now here I am, just a few days of research later, and it's looking more and more like I'll be joining the masses and going mirrorless. R5 here I come. Wish me luck, and thanks for the great review.
'The proof of the pudding is in the eating' as the old saying goes. Nice camera and good review, keep up the good work 👍
6:55 - I agree, I'd like Canon to open up a bit personally. What I want in particular to use is Voigtlander manual lenses on it. Only Sony has it at the moment and I don't want to own 2 systems once I switch from the EF-mount to the RF-mount.
I don't even have the R5 and I have been happy with the RF Line. I use the EOS R and get amazing results, Excited to see what the R3 is capable of!
I love my R5. I've had everything from a 20D up through the 1DX Mark II and the R5 is just another step above. It's helped me kick my side business into high gear and I love it!
hey Jared, I just want to say that you inspire me. thank you
Awesome review of the Canon EOS R5! Stephen & Dan (and Jared) hit creating this review 'out of the park'! Love to see these kinds of reviews
It would be a nice touch if you could have added some quick remarks near the end regarding the EOS-R, the R6, or the RP as entry points to the R system. The R5 is amazing, but for a budget shooter, or a hobbyist, or someone else just starting out, given the high cost of Canon R glass, are the lower tier cameras, with their less advanced specs, a good entry point, or are they too much of a compromise, and too hamstrung
? Especially when compared to say starting out in the Sony or Nikon ecosystem?
This is a review one year later of one camera
Best camera I ever owned can’t wait till I get 2nd backup body
Usual great quality balanced view.
i loved that video , relax style, very pleasing to watch
I went from an R to the R5 with 0 regrets. I'm very happy and pleased with this camera!
Thank you for this follow-up Jared. I do primarily landscape and architecture photography and love making gigantic prints. I'm still using a 5DsR, and have a fortune of EF glass. For mirrorless I'm still using a Sony A7r3. For some reason I haven't gotten myself to fully commit to the Sony system, and on the Canon side I have a stroke every time I calculate how much it would cost to switch over to the R5. Maybe if and when a R5 mk 2 becomes a thing I'll be ready to take the plunge. I'll keep getting my Fro news fix until then.
I have over 10k in EF glass, and $0 in RF glass. With the R5 and EF adapter, I feel zero need to buy RF glass. I imagine I’ll get some RF lenses eventually, but right now, the R5 has given new life to my EF glass.
Thank you for sharing this review!! The R5 sounds like a great unit! Will you do something similar for the R6?
I received my pre-order finally last November. Overheating has never been an issue, but shoot 4K.
Still probably the best camera to date. Even beats Sonys A1 considering prize and especially the lenses (and if you don’t need any specific A1 features, the r5 actually beats it in many aspects from video quality, stable frame rates auto focus etc ). I really like that canon is even improving on it via updates like adding vehicle detecting that just came out for the R3.
But as mentioned above, probably even better are the lenses. Those alone are worth getting this camera. The unique ones like the Rf 28-70 f2 or the 70-200 f2.8 which only exist here are probably the best lenses in the market to get. Yes it’s expensive. But for the ones looking for extraordinary quality not found anywhere else, they will find it here.
Regarding heat problem I also find that overly exaggerated. I guess some just tried to find something to criticize even if it didn’t make sense. But who is actually able to record 8k raw for 10 minutes when the file size is gigantic? And who record a single cut with 20 minutes? Everyone who actually does will get a dedicated video device like an c70 anyway.
Definitely glad getting this camera and after over a year of using it professionally, I actually just ordered a second one..
I think Sony matches or exceeds Canon's glass at this point, barring the F2 28-70
What is amazing about the R5 is aside from sensor size, it is the only camera on the market as of 2022 that can legitimately compete with the almost flawless performance and imaging quality you would get from a Phase One or RED camera, which cost as much as a new car (such as Chevrolet Cruze). Phase One or RED require little skill to learn and easy to setup, but the size is intimidating and uncomfortable so portability is unfit for the casual user even if can be afforded. May be more geared for a camera crew, and yes, you usually see Canon more often as a secondary camera when the modular equipment is undesirable, and Nikon a close second. Some Nikon DSLRs can give great results, but you may be paying quite a bit more.
Nina!! We always want her, not just as a model, but as a contributor, kinda like Stephanie at Matt Granger's site.
I'm a Sony shooter for video and photos but it's really nice to have viable mirrorless cameras from Canon to keep the mirrorless trend rolling forward. I don't hesitate to recommend the R5 and R6 to people who are already in the Canon ecosystem when they are looking to upgrade. I think the biggest downside right now for Canon is the lack of 3rd party glass. They really need to open that up to allow a variety of lens options for everyone.
Canon asserted recently again that they perceive 3rd party support as "competition", rather than a welcome complement. That's the main reason why I'm not going to consider Canon (nor Nikon Z for the same reason).
@@tubularificationed I think Sony had the right approach to that buying partial ownership of Tamron.
Awesome review Jared!! You da best!
Good and honest review Jared... All the best and enjoy your Sunday 👊🏼
Thank you again for another great review Jared
Explained beautifully 💚
Upgraded my 1DX MKiii and EF Lenses for R5 and RF Glass - The Auto Focus is so good - Tempted by the R1 when it arrives ...
Really enjoyed this review as i am looking to upgrade from 7D MK 2 to the R5 this fall.
really found this video helpful - I'm getting the R5 and the Canon RF L series 24-105mm USM lens for my birthday - so I have subscribed!
This was your best video ever thank you for you take on this subject
How do you install FroPack 1 2 3
R3 is going to smash that A1
This review is just lit.. Well done Jared 👌
I have been a Nikon shooter since the mid 80's. My last purchase was a Z7II last spring. Great sensor, wonderful pictures, soso autofocus.... Had all my gear stolen a few weeks ago. 1st time looking at Canon and Sony and can see where I will likely not be a Nikon shooter again. Thanks for the great video, have watched many of them. The R5 is looking very tasty... I wish they would get 3rd party glass, same with Nikon. Don't want to carry adapters if I don't need to.... I have become spoiled by the amazing technology we have....
I am Still using my canon 5d mark iii for portrait shoot to this day, I just love that camera it’s powerful.
Legendary camera...
If you like to use wide apertures, try renting or borrowing an R5 + EF adapter for a day or two. Caution! You’ll likely become unsatisfied with your 5D3, and ready to spend $$$ on purchasing an R5. Seeing 95%+ sharp keepers @ f/1.2, is addictive.
Really loving my 2x R5’s - I don’t really do video except for the odd 4K HQ clip here and then... definitely agree about the RF glass / sharpness / colour, and ability to shoot reliably at 1.2 I won’t be upgrading bodies again for a long time, instead investing more in other gear like RF glass and lighting
I love my R5 not comparing to any other brand out there , it work well for me in still photography
Those flamingo pics are some of my favs of your shots you've shared! I would love to own an r5! Maybe even the R3......And i love it with that 800mm lens......
I have never see Jared as serious as this! Bwahahhahaha... I have the R6 as I could not afford the R5 but I am happy with what I have.
Loving my R5 too. By far the best camera I have ever owned, including at least one other that cost more than the R5. Jared (or anyone who knows), can you refer me to which video explains the focus settings/modes used for sports photography?
Great review Jared. I brought the R5 earlier this year after watching one of your previous videos and really pleased with the camera. I have seen the overheating warning when shooting at 100FPS in hot weather but its not a major problem. Cheers Keith
I think I’m on my way to get the R5
WOW! Skittles Preset looks awesome!
Really enjoyed the format of this video.
It's a brilliant piece of kit..
Great review Jared.....the best review I've seen yet!!👍
The R5 is the best camera I have ever purchased. I have used it for 8 months and it has never let me down.
i love the R5 after upgrading it from the EOS R . I dropped the 24-105 F4 with the R and started looking at RF glass . the problems is when you have a mix of RF and EF glass and changing then in the fly is a pain unless you have several adaptors to keep on the EF ones LOL
so RF28-70 was my first WOW love it. RF70-200 F2.8 second . RF100-500 OMG this is ace to focus at 1.2mtrs when at 500mm gives a beautiful image (IMO ) next the RF100 Macro and later either the RF15-35 f2.8 or RF14-35 F4 Ive got to wait for cash but also to find out how good the F4 is . and then im done well at least till a second hand RF85 F1.2 LOL but I dont need that just want
