What do you guys think?? Should I stick with the R5, or try something else!?
R5 is fantastic, can't understand those doubts. And what should the alternative be?
@@SuomiFinland78 I love the camera too, best hybrid out, especially at $4000! I use a $899 Mac mini, and it handles the files very easily, idk what everyone is talking about! I use fcpx, though! Super easy , I shoot all-I, c-log, looks great!
I have a love/hate relationship with DSLR's for video. I love being able to go between video/photo for vlogs or documentig life but probably wouldn't use it for most client work. I'm still rocking a 6D 😬 for that kind of stuff and it's sufficient until I watch one of your videos of see some pics lol.
Its the best. only the Alpha 1 can beat it on Paper. But with the bad Sony colors
@@dkastra26 don’t forget the extra $2500
As a stills only user, the R5 is the best camera I’ve owned. It lets me do sports, portraiture and landscapes successfully in one body.
It’s a beast for sure!
So am I....what laptop do you use because I hired the canon r5 today but my laptop is incredibly slow!....I never use video I plan to use it for stills...wildlife to be exact!
Still a let down for a such a new camera that is good in stills there are many cheaper cameras that are just good for still that make this camera overpriced.
@@ivankiefer3886 can you say shutter speed? I don’t even own this yet. Can you actually mention any? That have close to the shutter speed? MP? Wifi? To only mention a few. Anything that is less is less camera
@@dpit007 the shutter speed is as fast as any camera. What are you even talking about 1/8000 shutter speed is common. Don't get me wrong is a great camera is not an 8k camera and a weak 4k. But I feel like the r5mk2 is going to hit the sweet spot but I bet is going to be way expensive.
I have been a commercial photographer for 31 years. Started with film 4x5, 8x10,35mm,2 1/4 Hasseblads and Pentax. One of the first to have a 50K digital scanning back in Houston for 4x5's. It seems to me that the use of the R5 for video may have a couple of drawbacks. I have ask why so many people talking about the R5 somewhat negatively are all you tubers who want to use the camera for video. As a true photographer 45MP is freaking awesome! the long lens availability excellent! Mirrorless for wildlife and any concerns with camera shake. I can go on. My point is if your concern is video and especially for social media bloggers and you tubers then purchase a nice video camera. We use a nice panasonic with an 18-80 CN-E lens. Problem solved. I believe this camera is made essentially for photography but does nice video as well. Most modern DSLR's do. Numerous videos here on you tube about the R5 that are negative are about video. Nothing negative about file size, product detail or moire. Shutter speeds,CMOS SENSORS, 20FPS silently! A great photography camera is what we should be discussing.
Agreed. As I said this is a beast for photography, zero complaints in that department. But Canon very much marketed this is as (also) a video camera. Thus my let down.
Finally someone talking about some real disadvantages. Good job man
Haha someone had to do it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your feedback on this camera. I am thinking of purchasing it; so I will review your video again when I get closer to a decision.
Glad you found it helpful! CHeers
This video should be a must watch for new buyers. I use the R5 as well and I love it for the most part. I do film in 4K HQ and I've experienced overheating only once or twice. Even half an hour of Aroll in 4KHQ is not a problem for me. I don't really vlog (yet) so haven't experienced the wobble myself. What I did notice though is that whenever I hook up a simple camera monitor, it does overheat much faster. Idk why. I totally agree with you, the camera is not reliable enough for client work. You just can't afford it flaking on you. It's a real shame. Great video man.
Hm thats interesting about the monitor, but yeah exactly man. Its a great camera, I just can't fully rely on it sadly. Thanks for watching!
I really like the idea of the Canon R5C, a video centric camera that doesn’t overheat as it has a fan and still has that 45mp sensor for photography - now that would be a BEAST and may hopefully solve all the problems wrong with the current R5. Still not sure how they would market both of them together though....
Yeah im interested! Hopefully they fix the wobble too
Well I'll be damned.
If you have a non-RF lens mounted on the camera, magically a “turn of IBIS” option shows up in the menu.
Yeah thats super weird its only for the EF and not the native lenses
@@JHawk Only for the non-stabilised EF lenses!
I would keep the R5, the reason why the footage is hard to edit is the h265 422 they might come with a firmware update with 10 bit 420 or 424 which would eliminate that problem. Also, the new M1 macs are coming soon which will be able to edit the R5 footage. The R5 is an amazing camera, if you really want to upgrade I would just keep the R5 for vlogs and photography and go with a Cinema camera like a C70 for video work.
Haha yeah i already have the M1 mac! But premiere still isnt updated and its been months. The c70 would be my go to if it wasnt super 35. Thats a huge bummer, but thanks for watching!
Didn't they fix the wobble with a firmware update?
Nopeeeee and anyone that tells you otherwise is wrong.
@@JHawk that’s a bummer! Thanks for the video.
@@stevefitzgerald9193 Haha calm, nice. Well this "rumored" firmware update has been going to release soon since about october. Idk about you, but time is money for me. THanks for watching!
Is the R5 I buy today be better than the R5 talked about in this video? This warp and over-heating issues sound really horrible.
It’s still the same I believe!
I just want to point out that DSLRs are film cameras with video recording options. As much as they are improving in video, their primary function is to capture stills.
Maybe in 2005 haha, explain the A7siii then
If you record 4K in cropped mode, you get near identical quality to the 4KHQ mode. But instead of supersampling 8k down to 4k, you're supersampling 6K down to 4K. And shooting 4K in cropped mode has zero overheating problems.
and the reason why editing h.265 from the R5 is harder is because it's 10-bit color. all video cards currently out there do not accelerate 10-bit h.265. they accelerate 8-bit h.265. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Apple did see the wisdom in having hardware support for 10-bit h.265 in their M1 Macs. So that's an option. But just make proxies. Only takes a couple minutes.
Interesting and good to know. Unfortunately most of the time proxies take well over an hour for me. Maybe its just with premiere not being updated yet.
@@JHawk Adobe is so slow updating their software. Even now, they don't take advantage of video cards like they should. It's still my favorite to edit with
Does 4k60 and 4k120 overheat in crop mode? Or can you only shoot 4k24 after it overheated?
Similar to other comments I have the R5 and shoot mainly stills with occasional video in standard 4K and never had an overheat warning so for me at least the camera is just so polished and perfect for my needs and if I was to start shooting more high end video I would buy a video first camera. My advice is get the camera that does the what you need and always have a back up body for professional work.
Yeah agreed!
Do you have the issues for editing as mentioned in the video?
I've used my R5 for three months now & one thing which is important to mention is that if you don't shoot Clog, you wont need to make proxies at all, i shoot 4k 24, 60, 120 fps and it works fine as long as i am not shooting Clog.
My biggest problem right now is that it doesn't have HD 120 fps, waiting for the next firmware update...
Yeah that’s actually a really good point! And agreed 1080 120 would be sick
it has been added by firmware update
I could totally be wrong, but I experienced the wobble the first few days of shooting and I was 100% able to turn it off and since have not had an issue. I will say the overheating worries me as i shoot a lot of run and gun even for clients. You can actually feel the camera getting hot, even just shoot in HD1080, but iv still never had the camera shut down on me. On the photo end, i have not seen more crisp photos from any other camera and being a photo first guy, I absolutely love this camera.
I believe the wobble can be off if you have an adapter EF lens on. But yeah it’s still an amzing camera!
I normally would not say anything.
The wobble is a problem for wide angle lenses R5 has one of the best IBIS on the market. Many other brands suffer with wide angle problems as well. One thing you need to do is update your RF lenses to the latest firmware.
As to using the camera professionally there are three solutions:
1. Use a Ninja external recorder (no overheating)
2. There is a way to reset the timer. It works. I have used it for many professional shoots. You should allow a 10 minute cool down to be safe. It is the card that gets hot.
3. Put camera in a tight bag (Nothing else) put it in freezer for 10 minutes. This will give you about 1 to 2 hours depending on ambient temperature.
Anyway I hope this helps
Yeah that’s exactly what I said about the wobble. It’s so strong. Solid tips for anyone that wants to make the R5 work
There is a way to switch off ibis and make a quick button for it
But you need a manual lens to do it
Basically the button is hidden in the menu until you connect one
Yeah I found this out later, pretty unfortunate it doesn’t work with lenses that are made for this camera lol
@@JHawk classic Canon
Include the feature
But hide it
Honest opinion , this is a stills camera with some video thrown in which you should have been aware of prior to purchase . Invest in a dedicated video system if you shoot lots of that formant .
Although I’d like to agree. And it is indeed photo dominate (as I mentioned) go to Canon’s web page for this camera and tell me this isn’t supposed to be for video lol
The wobble is real. I have the R5 with the latest firmware. Anything under about 28mm focal length wobbles noticeably. Other than that the IBIS is great.
Yep im 100% with you
Everyone who experiences these atrocious wobbles should file a case with Canon about the issue. I just did. And ask them to have a firmware update to allow us to turn off IBIS in the R5 and R6. I've had the R5 for quite a while, and finally purchased a used RF 15-35mm, hoping the wobbles would be fixed by now, and boy, was I wrong. It's so horribly unusable with IS on. Even from 24-35, I still noticed a weird jello effect wobble. If I bought the lens new, I would have returned it, but since it's used, I'm sort of stuck with this, unless I go through the hassle of selling it. In this case, I am debating waiting to see if they come up with a firmware update to lock the ibis.
I think the ideal combo for run and gun film work is either this RF 15-35 with the c70 or, for a wider field of view (and the same equivalent f/stop), a EF 16-35 f/4 IS with the 0.71x adapter on the c70.
Odd, the wobble isn't that bad, but I can understand why people don't like it. But this isn't a Canon thing... it's an IBIS and uber wide angle thing. Also IBIS doesn't help much on long lenses, it's most useful on wider focal lengths.
Yep all things i mentioned. Agreed its not a canon thing, but it is a canon thing that they don't allow it to be turned off
H.265 is pretty much the stabdard for about 3-4 years now, isnt it?
For higher end cameras perhaps but not from the previous cameras at this price point
1: turn ibis off use a tripod, or a proper video camera.
2: if you are getting paid with a camera it should not overheat. You are correct.
3: wouldn't like compressed files. Let's get uncompress I don't mess with that.
3: alot of steps that could lose video quality let's stick to 1080p until tech catches up. Awesome video
Thanks for watching! 🤙🏻
Just ordered the R5 and the 15-35mm lens! So excited to try it!
Awesome combo!
@@JHawk got the camera on Monday and SO Much fun!
This isn't a cinema series camera, it is a stills camera that can take good video, if you're doing pro video work, you get a pro video camera.
This is like saying that my pickup truck can't haul as much as a semi, why can't my pickup haul as much as my semi?
Need to manage those expectations a bit.
Totally. Now if your trucks website marketed that it COULD haul as much as a semi, then that’s exactly what canon did for this camera. That’s my problem about it. Totally agree it’s a stills camera, but not marketed to only be stills
Loved these points you touched on, as well as talking about how you can't quite trust it in a professional client work situation for video. Also YOUR LIGHTING LOOKS SO CLEAAAAN
Seriously dude. Haha and thanks man! Means a lot
Canon be the confident ratchet girl yellin and clapping saying " So why dont you go to SONY??!!!, WHY??,...thought so... " lol
LOL best comment yet
Pretty insightful video! Thanks
I mean I am a photo-first guy, so I love this camera, and I have a canon lense so I honestly love both this camera and its brother!
Its a beast of a camera no doubt! Glad it works good for ya
Love the video as always bro! 🔥 🔥
Yooo my guy! Thanks for watching 🤙🏻
I switched to Canon in January and bought a C70 and R5. I basically never use the R5 bc of the codecs. I have a Ninja V, which lets me do 4KHQ and capture in ProRes to get around the R5's terrible codec situation, but at that point the major advantage my R5 has over my C70 (size) is lost.
I'm hopeful that the firmware update that's set to come out soon will give us some codecs that are easier on our computers so I can actually use the camera in some run and gun scenarios, instead of only using it when I've got my Atomos setup.
YeAh good points. The c70 is a beast
This is a Photo Camera with Video capabilities and not a Video Camera with Photography capabilities.
If you want to be a PRO video shooter , get a dedicated video camera !!!!
I agree! But unfortunately if you look at canons website they sure market this camera differently lol
@@JHawk off course. That's the whole marketing trick hehe.
Send it to me... I won’t never rant LOL 😆
No problem! Just sent over $4k first 😉
Love the content. Am planning to upgrade to an R5 soon haha. Thanks for the tips
Thanks for watching! And any time
Haha, I just wanted to comment, if you could do a comparison with a camera similar to the R5 and you pop out the Sony A7SIII at the end 😆
Knew the look is different then usual 🤓
You finally answered my IS question for my R6 - always wondered, if the IS setting is an all or nothing thing. Didn''t figure out to turn off IBIS, in case lens has IS.
Let's see, if Canon will change this in future firmware or not.
Great video as always, can't wait for your experience with the A7SIII 👍
Hey thank you so much! I really appreciate, yes more on the A7siii here soon
I currently shoot just about everything on the EOS R + 15-35.
before the release and the whole advertisement of the 8k - all people ever wanted was a no crop 4k so ( honestly even as a person who doesn't have the R5) - I still think it's an amazing camera.
but yeah.. wabble bothers so I guess Ill still stick with my R for now
Yep i dont blame you at all the R is a beast! Thanks for watching
Love your content brother. Question for you? If you could choose 1 camera for photo & video what would it be? 1DX mk3 or the R5? Wanna hear your professional opinion 🙏🏼
*Looking for a professional camera that I can use for client work
Both are amazing, just a lot of preference. Id prob go with the R5 if it was up to me tho.
I don't necessarily disagree with anything you said. With that said, I absolutely love my R5, and I bought an A7C so I could have a small body for extended takes and I'm doubly surprised at 1) how much I like the video from that camera (although auto-exposure is tragic), 2) how much I hate the experience of taking stills on that camera, and 3) how poor it handles and controls. I think it's not a bad idea to carry a second camera that can do the long takes, like an A6400 or an A7C, and that will fill the gaps of the R5 nicely.
Yeah a second body is def a good move but I personally would want to stay in the same camera company so lenses match up
Great info, thanks for sharing!
Glad it you found it helpful!
In my opinion, you don't buy a camera that costs thousands for photo and video. If video is so important to you, buy a video camera for video. you'll probably get more options and better quality overall.
For pics,this is great.
I respect your opinion! In my field a lot of people need a hybrid, but glad that works for you!
Sony 24mm? Different look here, but I like it! Great work as always dude!
Yeah it was with that sigma I posted on IG. I like this focal length i think! Thanks for watching homie
Good info. We do strictly still photos now but thought about branching out but we have the D5 Mark IV also so can use that for video as well. I agree that Canon should do a firmware update to allow you to turn this off. I noticed it and it is not up to par for professional video production.
Yeah agreed!
@@JHawk If you are doing pro video work GET a PRO video Camera and stop Whinging , This is why sony canon panasonic make pro cameras for video work
we
Great video and great things to point out. As I only shoot photos I think this will be a great camera for me but since the r5 mk2 will be out soon, I'll just wait a bit more, the r6 is also doing an amaIng job for me cureently
The warp is bad
Yeah I’m not a fan!
No cap I also display my Off White Blazers the exact same way with the same lace setup 😍the colors are so aesthetic.
Ayeee
I don't see the wobbling.
Haha im not sure then
Me either, I use a gh5 and moving with ibis on looks a lot worse than that and I’m quite happy with the gh5 🤷♂️
I could tell instantly you looked different haha Looking good on that Sony ;)
Who me!? :)
I myself
Almost already
In Between
I've owned the R5 for about the same amount of time. I don't see a wobble at 24mm with is still a great focal lenght to vlog with. I've ran into an over heating issue 1 time but it was over 100 degree out and everyones camera was over heating that day. The camera has been great for me, no complaints here!
Yeah thats awesome! Glad to hear 24 is working good
Let’s get clear, so I can’t edit easily with premier pro if I buy this camera ?
If you are shooting 4k and you don't want to make proxies first, correct
Very true! I proxy my 4K footage from the R5 all the time!
@@JHawk so please what camera do you suggest so I don’t have to make proxies for a budget up to 2200 USD.
Canon eos r
@@JHawk how is the auto focus in 4K for this one ?
So I’m a Sony fanboy and I love the all-in-one mentality they have with their non R or S lines. So I’m waiting for the a7 IV.
I loved that Canon started to compete again with the R5/R6. I personally think they need to take the Sony approach though; have one camera that is mirrorless body that is great for video and another for photo, and one that is good at doing both. It’s a model that works really well for Sony.
Tbh if Canon adopted this approach to their mirrorless bodies I might consider switching.
Yeah that’s a really good point. I like the 3 different lines for Sony, it makes total sense. Canon just tries to make everything a hyrbrid and then tiers it by price. Thanks for watching!
I think that’s what Canon is planning on doing there is a rumored R5c for video. Other thing I think we need to do is get rid of Record limit even though I don’t personally never run into that problem and unlock 2 card video Recording which right now they only do in 8k.
Canon has dedicated Video Cameras already. Most videographers use Video centric cameras. Sony is cool but the Canon Colors and lens selection will keep me in their system.
I really want to get this camera but the overheating scares me since I do client videography work. such a bummer. 👎 thanks for this video!
Yeah I totally understand! Glad you found it helpful
look at the bright side if you ever had to use a camera without stabilization... you have it in your lens...
I want to start making travel videos and memories with my wife both over landing and going to nice resorts. I understand anything at this level would be considered overkill, but price is relative to the buyer.
I bought a Sony ZV-1 and returned it as Sony ‘s pretty much stuck in the 90s with their menus and just could not get over it for daily use. In the past I’ve had a Canon 60 D. I Canon 7D. And I Canon 5D Mark II.
I went to film school for two years and was doing freelance videography before I started my IT company in 2009. So I know a thing or two about cinematography and editing but I’m not looking to make any money. I would just like high-quality videos of my traveling memories.
After all my research and being a canon guy most of my life I still can’t find the right camera. I feel like if they had a canon EOS RP MKII with no 4K crop and 60 P in 4K it would be the perfect choice but that doesn’t exist yet.
Any advice? Sorry for the mouthful.
I think something like the R or RP would be great. R6 if you want no crop on 4k, but yeah if you want a cheaper route like the rp youll prob need to wait for the mII and see what its like
@@JHawk Yeah I am going on a camping trip in 2 weeks and want to have something by then. Decision time. Thanks mate!
Proxies… got it. 😂😂😂 great vid man.
Have you tried the new update yet? The 1.3 update
I have, the new recording codec does help some with editing, but still isn’t amazing
You should share your 120fps workflow
It’s def being requesting so I plan to!
Interesting, I'm a Canon user and considering the R5 or C70...as an upgrade to my 80d. I want the 120fps and 4k and the 90d is an option also...I may do that and get a slider, more lights, and upgrade gear...lmk what you tech pros think 🤔
Too many good options! The C70 is great
Hey do you think the Rf 15-35 is worth it for the R series cameras?
For sure! Its amazing
If Adobe doesn’t support the camera video outputs that means Adobe is behind. As of today in 2022 most if not all of these so called “issues” have been addressed. Besides that the primary function of this tool is photography not video. If you want video just purchase the R5c model . R5 has been the best camera I have ever used in my humble professional life.
Too each their own, beyond happy I got ride of it myself.
I was about to type a comment asking about your grading on this video... it looks super clean!! Good thing I watched until the end. Also a video on the a7siii would be fun.
Haha Yep just trying things out!
I’ve had it in my cart for 3 months… watching every review and trying to talk myself out of purchasing it because of the price. However the only real complaint I’m seeing are from people that use it predominantly for video. I don’t shoot video much at all so I think I’m going to grab it.
It’s pretty much flawless for photos, you won’t regret
@@JHawk ended up getting it and it has been amazing. It handles the studio work well, street photography well, product photography well. Low light performance is superb. My hit rate for shots is damn near perfect. That autofocus is killer 😭
@@khaleeldane2529 the camera is damn near perfect bro lol. I absolutely love it.
@@MysteryMan725 oh trust I know. I ended up buying it and I absolutely love it. 8 months on with it and don’t regret it at all. It was a HUGE upgrade coming from a 5D Mark II that I shot with for like 10 years 😂
Damn i just want to know what camera you recorded this video with?! Awesome video really helpful. I'm trying to get an R5 in the near future.
I say what it’s recorded on at the very end of the video but it’s Sony a7siii
I’m comparing this vid the previous right before this and I definitely like the look of this one much more.
Definitely a cleaner look. Also a bit softer but in a flattering way.
Btw also look like you got a few hour of sleep in since the last vid lol.
Really?? Not sure which i like honestly. and what is sleep? LOL
I just shoot photos and occasionally record some video for fun, I can afford to buy the r6 but haven't purchased it yet because of the low megapixels, should I just wait and save up and buy the r5?
I’d say the R6 is plenty, I’d just go for that
Yeah, I see it.
Sigh, same
I've shot Canon for 25 years but probably won't be going to this.
I currently work 95% of the time just taking pictures and I’m thinking to get the EOS R. I’m thinking that may be getting the R5 might be a little bit overkill if I only use it for photos. Do you have any thoughts on that.
also I’m not planning on shooting videos anytime soon
The R is plenty good for photos 🤙🏻
You can turn off ibis but only when you have a non stabilized lens mounted on. If the lens has IS then it’s not an option
Where can you turn it off?
@@JHawk page 7 on the shooting menu, only appears if the lens you have on doesn’t have IS. If you put it on your My Menu then it’ll stay visible there, but will still only be able to be changed when you have a non-IS lens. 🤙🏼
Yep when you have a “RF IBIS” lens the switch on the lens turns both the lens and camera body IBIS on/off..so you can turn this function as a whole off for use on a tripod.
When you have a lens with no IBIS the camera knows this and gives you a option in the red menu page 7 this turns it on or off in the camera body.
Should I go for canon r5 or something else with that price... help me
I need to shoot weddings and events
If it works for you yes!
I feel like Premiere Pro has improved their handling of H.265 a lot (at least on PC). I have a Fuji XT3 that records in H.265 and my original computer basically couldn't handle it so I upgraded in November 2019. It was still clunky at times but significantly improved with the better hardware. I still had to edit at 1/4 resolution usually and would run into some hang-ups still periodically if I didn't make proxies. Maybe 7 or 8 months ago this significantly improved and I now never have to make proxies. So hopefully Premiere can release some improvements for Macs as well in how it handles H.265 processing. Thanks for the informative video on the R5! Good info to have.
Oh interesting well glad it’s working better for you. Can def confirm it’s still an issue on Mac but they are hopefully updating that soon. 🤞🏻 thanks for watching!
I'm a portrait shooter and I don't do video. I wish I had known that the colors on the R5 look like absolute dog crap compared to the EOS R. I also wish I knew that the R5 doesn't seem to be compatible with my Sigma and Tamron lenses. They work, but I think maybe there is an IBIS incompatibility or something like that. I can't get any clear shots with the R5. Even shots with fast shutter speeds that should be super sharp simply are not. I've done several shoots with it under different conditions, doing portraits and some product shots for a musician friend of mine. I have yet to shoot a single shot with the R5 that I'm pleased with. With the EOS R, I get ridiculously sharp shots with gorgeous colors.
Oh, another problem is editing. It takes me three or four times longer to edit a photo from the R5. That's mostly due to the crappy colors, but also because it's definitely a learning curve to figure out how to handle the bigger dynamic range and really prominent shadows that cause some shots to look like bad HDR.
I'm seriously considering just selling this thing and going back to the R.
Interesting. I haven't heard about this problem at all. The R is pretty amazing tho without a doubt
@@JHawk It has been a pretty frustrating ride, I will admit. And Canon repair won't help because I haven't tested it with Canon lenses yet. I plan to do that in the near future.
Listening to this in the gym and I’m getting overheated.
LOL pretty good
i dont know why people like you start using R5 which is a PHOTO First camera as a Video First camera and then complain about heating issues. go buy something for video and be happy.
It’s marketed as a video first but like I said In the video I think it’s photo first lol. Go check canons web page and tell me it shouldn’t be used for video
@@JHawk if for a moment we believe that canon was stupid enough to market this as video camera......but consumers are not stupid, they know its a photo first, now if tomorrow sony or nikon say whatever they want for their a1m2 or a7m5 or z9, but we know they will be all photo first camera with capability to shoot 8k or 16k or 32k or whatever k, nobody will ever take them as video first cameras. yes canon website says you can shoot 8k but we know its not a video camera.
Thank you so much for this video!
I am new to video and just need to understand your first point correctly: Is it better to turn IBIS off for video (or does it depend)? Is there a difference between turning ibis on/off in camera or lens? What would you recommend for a handheld video? I will be using Canon R6 with Canon RF-lenses
IBIS is great but it’s so strong in this one it looks bad at wide angles. But it’s helpful at longer focal lengths like 24+. The R6 with like a 24-70 would be good
Thanks mate, no bs just facts - good job.
Glad you found it helpful!
Yooo Your From Ohio that's dope! Seen the banner in the back! Would you ever teach a class on color grading?
Yessir! And it might be something I make a video about!
You looked sharper in other videos and colors were a lot better in previous videos. I don’t hate on Sony I’m just stating what I notice and also because I knew something was different! I even had to make sure I had my quality in 1080 cause it didn’t look so sharp😅
Interesting! I honestly thought it looked TOO sharp, like needs to be turned down haha but good to know!
Super helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have the R5 and I have no regrets but Im waiting for the RP II so I can get a lightweight with the dual pixel AF
The Rp is sick, you’ll love it!
Actually there is a way to turn off the IBIS and leave the lens IS on. There is a setting in the my menu you have to turn on. Hopefully Canon makes this easier to access in the next firmware.
Where is this setting?
Side question for the R5 120 slow mo at 30 frames per second. In Pr can you select the clips and tell the program to interpret as 120 frams per second? Hopefully Canon fixes that issue and a few more in the EOS R5C coming soon.
Hello, I need your suggestion, I don't know if I should get Canon R5 or R3, I mainly shoot portraits. What is your suggestion? Thank you.
I’d go prob R6!
Canon C70 is super but without an EVF is useless if you're filming on a beach.
Yeah also it being super 35 isnt ideal. But its still cool!
@@JHawk I like the H264 codecs, no overheating and no recording limits on C70. Now put them on R5C I might switch to R5C from Panasonic GH5.
That HEVC aka H.265 slow editing issue is definitely an issue of Premiere, generally all Adobe products on Intel Macs are slow. All Intel Macs having the T2 chip (fingerprint reader) can handle HEVC hardware based and fast, the ARM (M1, M2) Macs anyway. Your claim Premiere is the most widely used editing software might be correct - only for Windows users. On Mac it’s for sure FCP and DaVinci Resolve. - Even Photoshop and LrC are on a crappy PC much faster as on the most expensive Intel Mac, a result of Adobe’s strategically miss-decision to no longer support Macs when Apple launched FCP, the original one, the current one is FCPX, the X got lost the last few years. After 4 yrs not covering Mac, Pr was back to Mac with CS3, 4 yrs they couldn’t catch up. Until it was necessary to completely revise and rewrite the code because of M1. But Pr is still at least 10 x slower as FCP and DVR (DaVinci Resolve)
You have great points but premiere is still by far the industry standard, and very much so for Mac users 🤘🏻
@@JHawk Is it? I never used it - well I tried - but after realising the annoying slowness, that experiment was done within 1 minute. Back to FCP and DVR. Honesty, I personally don't know one Mac user working with Pr.
Did a group shoot in Vegas a couple weeks ago, one of the photographers had an R5, he had to literally put it in the freezer every so often before he could shoot more. It was hot, but not Vegas in Summer hot, it was maybe 90 degrees tops, so I can't even imagine how much you can shoot with the R5 once Vegas gets over 100 degrees. I would def avoid the Canon R5. The rest of us Sony shooters and one Panasonic shooters had no issues.
Oh wow interesting. I didn’t think it could overheat with just photos? So good to know!
@@JHawk I don’t think it was just photos, but still pretty ridiculous that it overheats
Wow yeah that wobble is so bad. Thank you for doing this I would be so mad if I bought this and it did that 👀
Exactly why I wanted to make this video! Haha thanks for watching 🤙🏻
Which camera would you recommend now that doesn’t have these cons???
Fx3
anyone that says the R5 isn't a good camera for client work, doesn't do much client work. The R5 is a beast and I have literally never had an issue with mine. The majority of the video that are complaining are for clicks.
Haha yeah I don’t do any client work you’re right 🤣
@@JHawk It wasn't intended to be a knock on you, I love your channel. I totally get that you have the same problem that I do of wanting every clip to be perfect, but you have to realize that things that you see as deal breakers, no one else notices. Like, even the Sony's wobble at anything lower than 35mm, but in a real world situation you wouldn't be jerking around violently filming a cinematic sequence. I could see the rare occasion where maybe you shoot something that requires jerking back and forth like you demonstrated, but just turn the IBIS off on the lens and it goes away or shoot at 35mm. UA-cam is the only place where wide-angle shooting is commonplace. I highly recommend that you buy the book Cape Light by Joel Meyerowitz. In that book he took one of those old wooden box plate camera's and shot only using that, and that book revolutionized photography. But, the main takeaway is that he was asked if the camera limited his work, and he said," no... it didn't, it made me work differently and through that I became a better artist." Thus, the perfect camera will never exist, and you should use every piece of equipment as an experience to learn a new way to create.
@@JHawk same thing with video, you can't get so caught up in the opinions of people as to what camera is the best. Most of them need to make money to make a living, and saying a camera is great doesn't draw the same attention. Plus, no real movies are shot in 120fps, most real clients would prefer cinema cameras, and UA-cam content has really niche needs that don't reflect the rest of the industry. don't let perfection be the enemy of creativity.
When will Canon get it right? Don’t get me wrong they make amazing products but their mirrorless cameras alway have to have something lacking. I guess they don’t want to compete with their own cinema cameras.
I thought the colors looked better then normal!! Lol s cinetone??
Question?? do you script your vids? Or are you just that good?? Lol
SLog 3, think its better?? I just write down some bullet points then go a section at a time haha. I make it look smoother in the edit, trust me
@@JHawk I do the same thing!! But I feel like I have WAY more jump cuts then you!! Lol ... oh well hopefully I’ll get batter at it soon!! 🤞🏽
Anyways ... nice video as always!!
if you use manual focus that effect (wobbling) disappear
Wish that was a good fix tho lol
Hey awesome review. I believe I watched your review for the FX3 (or the Asiii) also if I recall. Which one would end up using the most or having a better experience with?
Fx3 for sure!
@@JHawk just canceled my Canon order and went with the FX3. Thanks man!
Don't blame the camera because you didn't do research in the beginning. This is why they made the R5C for film making. It's not Canons fault.
😂😂😂 “do my research first” this video came out well before the R5C was even announced. Maybe do your research first next time
what would the try something else be? you could sell the r5 for a7siii but keep the eos r for your photography
Yeah but two different lens systems is not ideal
@@JHawk true
How's the battery life on a full day's shoot?
Its about as good as any camera this size, but id def need a 2 or 3 batteries for a full day
Wobbly like jello
And not the good kind of jello
@@JHawk totally correct
1:37 Only when you stop moving so much I can notice the wobble. Thanks for this whole video, btw.
I thought about the r5 but have just ordered the 90d
Solid Choice!
