Let me save you 23mins, he loves the eos r
With good reason
Just picked up the EOS R. Still own my 6D. I’ll tell you it’s worth the upgrade. Tons of useful features 👍
What’s it like hands on shoooting. Is the menus system quick to navigate if I need to change stuff on the fly. Is the touch screen a pain and adjusting focus with ya cheek or nose happen? Lol
Andy Critchlow when you put your eye in front of the eye price to check the evf the screen blacks out so you don’t have to worry about moving anything accidentally I have the 6dmk1 5dmk3 then I got the eos r and that’s my go to for weddings and events
21 minutes into the vid, I read this comment tnx.
Wow so many bitter Canon haters here. Canon's colour balance is still my favourite.
Nizar Noor Their cameras have a lower dynamic colour range, but I’ve always preferred it too... You can fix contrast and colours in Post anyway. Sharp images are top priority
Canon cameras may not be the latest or best tech, but I prefer them for; color balance, good ergonomics for my hands, intuitive button layout and menu system, very good selection of lenses on the market.
this is dumb, dynamic color range doesnt exist.. i think you mean dynamic range (as in stops of contrast that can be recorded)
Same here
I agree. I use Nikon and love the specs more but Canon's color is SO much better....
I use the 5d4. No complains, is fantastic, is a beast. Older technology doesn't means is a bad decision. Saying the new technology is always better is a mistake. You never talk about reliability. That's important to me.
I don't care what people have to say about the Canon 6D Mark 2. I love it with my 24-70 lens. With post editing, it gets the job done. I live your videos!
Everyone: Gear doesn’t matter
Canon: *releases new camera*
Everyone: trash camera
Everyone : Lenses make your photo, sensor don't matter
Canon releases INCREDIBLE lenses but "poor" mirrorless camera
Everyone : Shame Canon !
Gear does matter.
C O not really
@@parkiel54 you must be good with abacus
C O wow, I guess digital is no longer a thing
I always loved these quotes:
"Good camera doesn't make you pro.
Everybody has good legs, but not everyone can be footballer.
So choose whatever you FEEL it's FUN."
To be honest, none of those three are much better than the competitor. But my experiences with the 6DII and the new EOS R just entertains me.
A feature I think many overlooked for example as simple as "closing the curtain to protect the sensor while changing the lens", it DOES make me feel that Canon put a thoughts to this camera to be rigid and reliable. As a crew, my boss encourages me to use Sony and Fuji. But me and many of my colleagues opted Canon instead.
We felt it weird that we didn't opted for the "better specs overall" but it's true...
Jared has mentioned that there is no professional camera. Any camera in his hands (or in any professional's hand) becomes a pro camera, getting pro results.
EOS R feels really good in the hand. I hope they will make two slot version, it might be a touch bigger I don`t care as long as the body+lens combo is smaller than previous. I am really happy for buying outgoing 5D III ;)
@@valdius85 They can. They just don't offer it.
Canon probably just testing the market with the EOS R.
@@kikipratama1 Very likely. Old school Japanese salaryman mentality is still there high up in the management... :(
In stead they just could come out with two bodies close in timing.
I think most people invested in Canon will just wait to see what is happening. Too bad for C. as some of them will leave.
@@valdius85 Let them be. Perhaps Canon has its own strategy by letting "everyone leave and then later make everyone back in."
It's a big win if it happens.
If you know what I mean...
And here I am with my 6D Mark I. Saved money on body, spent on glass.
Smart move. Still, you will upgrade eventually :P
Or you can also purchase 5dmk3
@@UnboundedMedia I don't see much appeal on Canon bodies right now compared to my 6D for the kind of photos I take. I would like to switch to sony, but the second hand market isn't as big and it's pricier over all. So for now I'll stick to Canon, get some lenses here and there and upgrade body, eventually as you said, but not soon.
Ha, same here. I'll sit this one out and wait another 1 or 2 gens before upgrading to mirrorless. But the day will come.
always a good choice! I went for the 6D2 just because the difference was so small, the 6D was 850, the 6D2 was 1100
*pets his 6Dmkii* it's ok rocky, you just keep being my buddy..
Love the comment
I love my EOS R. Best camera I've ever owned. With the RF50mm 1.2 it's amazing to use.
You would be amazed by the Sony A7iii line.
Had to make this decision this month and went with the 6Dii mainly due to price. Got a great bundle with a Canon grip, 2 batteries, and some smaller goodies for the $1299 price. I dont shoot any video, so that helped make the choice, but so far I am thrilled with the 6dii.
I sold my 6d and today I had a choice what camera to buy. I ordered mark IV for $ 2210 ($2056 was the price for EOS R). And anyway I am happy with my choice. Nobody says about reliability. Canon 5D is great time-tested camera. This is the best mirror camera by Canon. I will take mirrorless Canon camera in 5-8 years when it will be good enough and well tested.
You won't even have to wait 5-8 years till mirrorless gets better. The EOS R is already better, at my work we have both the 5D4 and EOS R... And I'll use the EOS R any day, anywhere, anytime & any everything. Better and deeper grip, better display... I won't even mention the rest, if you watched the whole video, Jared said what I have to say.
@@Ingemann. You can't buy a bad camera anymore. If it was made in the last 10 years, it's still not a bad camera. I'm so bored with these reviews that I started shooting film. Lol.
@@Ingemann. Is the grip really so good in EOS R? It felt good when I had a quick look at the shop. It is important for me.
5-8 years till mirrorless is good enough??? Thats how I know you only speak from what you hear without actually knowing for yourself. Mirrorless is already offering so many things that you cant get with dslrs. I remember people saying this exact same thing last year but its 2019 man lol mirrorless is at the top now especially with what SONY is doing. The only reason I would chose a dslr is if I shoot sports or wildlife. But not everyone has the chance to get in a stadium or travel to Africa so yeah for the most part Mirrorless is the best option for beautiful photography as of today. Btw I’m not a sony fan boy cause I’ve had sony fuji and now canon eos r
@@Ingemann. There are people who just hate change. Anything new is always inferior in any way. Apparently it took Canon long time of design for EOS R as they wanted for it to be reliable. The lenses are great, even Jared who is a Nikon boy likes them. The very first modes is already cheaper than 5D IV. I realise that 5D IV is old but still.
My update for 5D III will for sure be RF body. I would love to be able to afford the RF lenses - hopefully the price will drop to more realistic levels or Sigma will offer native RF mount ;)
I purchased a new Canon 6D I a couple months ago saving money to buy a 24-70mm,70-200mm, and 16-35mm. After comparing it to the 6D II, I think the 6D is a better deal. My next camera is going to be the EOS R.
Thank you.. I have a Canon 70D and a 6D but I want an up grade and this video gave me great food 🥘 for thought🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽
I bought 5dmk4 since it came out and I love it.. enough resolution. reliable AF. great build quality and reliability.
Mine is my daily workhorse. I also shoot with an a7III which runs technological rings around both the 5DIV AND EOS R but if I could only bring once camera with me for a vacation, it would be the 5D every time.
@@randydietmeyer5883 can you please explain why? Thanks in advance
@@harispap Sure. The reliability and the weather proofing of the Canon. Canon does get criticized (and rightfully so sometimes) for never adding any actual features to their firmware, but on the other hand their firmware is almost always rock solid.
Yes but 5d mark iii is way more better than this........what I'm saying is the mark iii will complete your expectations.....but mark iv could not give expected quality ..many times
Same here - love the feel of the body when you hold it, everything's in the right place for bigger hands
Had a go with a mate's EOS R and struggled with positions of controls - the back wheel was wierd, no joystick was a pain - I'm sure you'd get used to these features eventually, but from a pure useability point of view, my 2 5D mark 4's are perfect
And I've got lots of CF cards - so that CF slot is really useful!
WOW, nice gun's!! Keep up the good work man!!
I just upgraded to a 6D mark 2 from a Canon T6. I recognize some of its “weak points,” but for automotive photography it is a YUGE upgrade from my T6.
It also has recording features for if I want to delve into messing around with video eventually.
omg god watching so many videos for the same thing . T6 to 6dmk ii. planning to
One note, If you do not already have one, you can purchase a NEW 5D MK IV with CLOG, $100 more. The point is if you buy it new, you don't have to send it back to get it.
Nice video, Mark IV or R was my choice a couple of weeks ago. Very pleased I went with the R. Love it.
Andy Green I had the same choice today and I ordered Mark IV
@@alexeyyurkov7796 ha! Each to their own mate. What made you go that way in the end?
Andy Green, Canon 5D is a great time-tested camera. It was tested by millions of professionals. Reliable - this is main argument. But I also believe that EOS R is also great choice! New technologies, compact body and modern design! I hope you will enjoy shooting this camera, man!
@@alexeyyurkov7796 thanks yeah, I hope so too! It was a tough choice for sure. Hope it goes well for you too!
Andy Green thanks man! I am sure we both made the right choice!
Love your app! I had a wedding gig coming up and needed to upgrade cameras, I had to do some homework and figure out which camera I needed. I wish I would have seen this video before buying the 6D MK2 but I'm happy with it so far. got the job done. Really enjoyed the video.
I'm shipping Canon for mostly 2 reasons, the wide variery of second hands lenses and the first one is that Canon just rule the game when it comes to easy to use and feelings in my hands.
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS TOPIC! And then BOOM, Video gets published :D
exactly the topic I need right now :D
I'm not the only one 😂
Got the R a few months ago because of you! Got the 70-200mm iii last week because of you. Can’t get your hair cuz i just can’t :(
Cheers to that!:)))
How ya liking the EOS R?
The story of our life with Canon holding their amazing technology's from smaller cameras. Still best color science and auto focus in my opinion
I recently got an R and I am just excited. The RF 24-105mm L is just fantastic and also the RF 35mm f/1.8 does a pretty good job. I would not trade the R for any other product, even if the specs look better.
I went with the EOS R and I love it. Can use all my EF L glass I had already been using on my 80D with Canon's adapter.
Feels like I'm getting a 5D IV for less money plus a flip out screen - which I've used a lot on my 80D already
OK, finished watching this video, still really happy with my 6Dmk2 because I'm still new to the game, needing that full frame on a budget, upgrading from a 70D. Already had a couple lenses so I didn't need much to upgrade.
THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL VIDEO. THE VIDEO I’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR. HALLELUJAH
I appreciate your efforts with bringing information on the Canon options!!!!! I'm on the hunt for a camera to start pursuing video and photos. I'm subscribing to your channel!
I do have a question, my afro friend.
I just purchased a CANON EOS R, I like the option that when you turn off the camera a curtain is closed to protect the sensor, but if you change lenses, the sensor is exposed. Is there any way that the curtain closes every time I change lenses? For your wisdom I will be eternally grateful.
2:10 The EOS R gets the check mark based on the newer processor. interestingly DXO gave the R a lower overall score than the older 5D mark iv. Check mark to the 5D mark iv.
Jared! Thank you so much for this side by side review. It helped me choose R over 5d IV and it's awesome. I came across this video when I was so confused and you saved me a lot of niggles. Cheers from India.
id love to see this with the 6D mkII and the EOS RP those 2 cameras are basically "the next step up" for me and retail at roughly the same price
did i miss the image quality comparison?
Ken Maier that’s what I was waiting for!
That’s the main purpose of any camera ‘image quality ‘..
I love my 6D MKII 😅
I love my 6D I and 5D III
@Anon Fox mine cost $800 with the Black Friday deals. It was pretty hard to justify not getting it at this price, and I feel like the reviews weren't helpful as they all compare it to $2k+ bodies, when I was thinking about an M50 when I saw the deal .
Hi! You know if I connect my 6DII to an external monitor, I can see my image in both screens? The external and the 6D II for tracking or I still use the touch focus at the same time?
Me too! I like the features such as the rotary monitor and the Canon remote app. No one, really no one of Nikon, Sony, Fuji offer that! That's why I bought my 6D Mk II. And as mentioned already several times - The photographer makes the picture!
@@joes2828 my 6Dii was very problematic with the auto focus. Did yours give you issues?
Jared, as a 6D and 5D MkIV owner your review was very well balanced. Thanks, Jay
Have to say Jared.....I've been following you for maybe a year or close to it and I enjoy your videos. They are upbeat, filled with information and you guys do a great job with the video, editing, audio etc. Keep up the great work. About the EOS R. This video along with a few others helped push me to upgrade to the EOS R. 2 years ago I almost bit on the 5D M4 but decided to wait. Glad I did. Since I'm heavily invested in Canon lenses etc., I was pleased the EOS R accepted the EF lenses without quality loss. I upgraded from two 5D M2's I've been using for years. The technology upgrades are huge. Everything about the EOS R will enable me to work faster (auto focus system, button configurability). I'll be shooting my first wedding with the EOS R in a couple of weeks and look forward to my results. I had a 2nd shooter with me last year who had the 6D and I was impressed with that cameras low light performance vs my 5D Mark II. His reception shots were better then mine! Great colors and sharpness. When I saw the much lower price for the 6D.....I almost went for that camera as well. Luckily I waited and sure enough Canon finally drops a Mirrorless camera that is slightly better than both of the other two choices (in my opinion) for different reasons. Thanks again for your quality content. (see ya - LOL)
Canon went to the prom with their cousin.
Lol!!! I love you man! Just gold everyday!!!
😂
😅😂
Glad to see you there ! You rules
At least Canon's cousin doesn't have a sensor the size of a baby duck. If you're going incest, make sure the diameter of penetration leaves a mark.
8:08 “nobody gets a check mark” 😂
Love the video. I really think in the real world (for photos) all of these cameras are great, except R has an edge over the others with more focus points.
I agree with your comments 100%, and I love my EOS R. I sold my 5D and kept my 6D as a backup camera.
How do the 3 cameras fare against each other in low light and dynamic range?
We own the 6d Mark ii and have had no problems at all. You can fix anything in the Raw.... lol.
Hey Jarod! Can you please do a review for the holy Trinity of Canon lenses and their off brand counterparts?
Thank you Jared for a great comparrison on the 3 Canon full frame cameras. moving from the oldish 5D Mark II this is helping me make a great infomative choice on which camera to purchase next.
this helps a lot, thank you man
I’m watching these videos like I have the money to buy any of these cameras!!
Pointless same here 😂😂😂
@@hidanrai I just bought a Mark IV so the videos help.
You always do the reviews I want to see 💙
Thanks for the review, appreciated.
Just thanks for this video! Its help me a lot!
EOS R with rf 85mm 1.2 is a beast combination..
Would the Eos R be a good/smart starter camera?
e82 135is if you’re rich
Thanks for making this video, well done! I agree with your assessment.
I wonder how they feature for weather sealing - I'm thinking between the 5div and eos R at the moment having had time with both of them. I can see benefits of each of them over each other, but I'm also out and about quite a bit too, so durability is something I'm thinking about.
I have a Question for you Jared; Why do we still look at higher ISO as a legitimate improvement, if the majority if not all the cameras images still shown noise etc from setting your ISO anything above 12800? Wouldn't it be more prudent to have a camera that can actually be set to a higher ISO and not get a crap image? Okay, that was technically two questions. Maybe there should be a standard..... to the standard, in other words measure the highest an ISO setting can go before it starts to fall apart, and call that standard "OIS" (Optimal ISO Setting) or pronounced "Oh-is" an acronym within an acronym... come on... that's awesome sauce right!
Maximum Usable ISO Setting (MUIS). Pronounce it like its French, "mwee"
@@harrisonvoorhees LOL, I love it! "Excuse me but what's the mwee on that camera"?
Where was this video a month ago... lol I had to tweet Stephen lol!!!
But I just decided to get a 6Dmkii such a step up from the T3i I was using before lol 😂
I just got a 6d mk2 but now I am second guessing myself. The EOS R seems a little better...or just more interesting ? Sadly, its the lens available for it that is causing me to want to upgrade, which is the 24-70mm 2.8 with the IS.
Been using T3i for ages, even for paid event. I need to seriously upgrade
I'm using a t4i im planning to buy a full frame next year but I'm confused between these 3 😔.
@@tysongaming13 Same. Been using the 60D and I'm indecisive between the 5DMKIV and the EOS R/R5. Gotta have dual card slots for weddings.
Question for Jared or anyone else: If tracking a fast moving object ( birds, sports, etc.) do you feel there is a lag time in mirrorless cameras ( speciifcally the EOS R) with what you see in the view finder and where the action /focus point actually is?
Very good comparaison , serious ans funny, great job Jared, i found. This vidéo very clear and helpfull

At least this time he didn't use the word “horizontical”.
I bought 6DII last month after 14 years of Nikon. Having owned legends like D700 D750 D4 and D500 among others I can say the 6DII is excellent camera for the money. I wanted the R but no real selection of native lenses plus they seem to be really expensive. I Really wanted to like Sony because the AF is truly mindblowing but the ergonomics sucks and skin tones are horrible. And yes i edit my files extensively. If they put Eos R guts into 5d4 body ... improved the face and eye AF and fps and added flip screen ( not articulating one) it could well be the last camera I ever need to buy.
We bought the 6d mark ii two years ago and love it. My wife wants us to get a good back up camera.... which is turning out to be ANOTHER camera.... ha ha. We're looking at the Canon R for Christmas. The glass is getting better these days too. Cheers!!!
Thanks Jared, your reviews are always super detailed and helpful. The question is, if all signs point to Eos R, then whats the incentive to buy the 5Dm4 which is more expensive? I'm a 5Dm2 user and looking to upgrade this year. I hacked a focus peaking feature with Magic Lantern on the m2. Does the EOS R synch with Capture One's live view feature like it does with the 5D?
I have the EOS R and love it! Paired it with my RF 28-70 and man oh man. I wish you can put the RF 28-70 on EF bodies for others to experience this amazing lens! The main reason I went with the EOS R over the mark IV because of the promising future of the RF line of Canon lenses.
I had seven broken sd cards in my life and no single broken cf card. Think twice.
Vladislav Kurashov DITTO VLAD, SPOT ON!
Had an sd card break in my sd slot and damage it. Now I'm looking for a new camera :(
I have a 5d mk II, i know it's such an old camera but it served me well and my God, all 5d-s are work horses. My MK II has only one CF slot but guys, it has NEVER failed, NEVER! Not one error, nothing. Looking obvously for an upgrade and everyone points out to the eos R. But i really don't know how all the wonders features like the flip out LCD screen will perform in 4-5 years. Nobody spends this amonunt of money to get a new camera next year. Why nobody mentios this? for these reason i will get a mk IV because i know for sure it will not let me down. And thanks God IT has that CF slot. I trust a CF 10000 times better then an SD.
I know you know photo, Mr. Fro.
Thanks fro the content of this video. I fulfilled our dreams.
I think another reason for the higher buffer on the R is also the CR3 format.
I just bought the second EOS R camera. This camera is just so good, I really love it!
You forgot the very important function of Canon 5D mark IV has GPS. I always use GPS when I'm shooting.
6DII have GPS too.
@@nextpicture yup. that's why the EOS R is 1st camera of Canon's Full Frame Mirrorless camera. The next model will be have IS and GPS (I hope so)
Longest EOS R commercial ever
Good comparison. Just bought the EOS R, super happy.
What You this is Canon R better then A7R III?
This video definitely helped me decide which one to upgrade to from my 80D. Thank you!!
Johnathan Davis I have the 80d as well and I’m looking to upgrade. Which did you end up choosing?
TheZachTrack I haven’t purchased yet, but I’m most definitely getting the EOS R very soon.
"NOBODY gets a check mark!" -- I totally lost it when you said that. The people in the lobby here must think I'm crazy.
Well, the 5D Mark V is rumored to come out next year with 4K 60 Frames. So I'll just wait for that. 5D Mark IV for rent for now. But really can't go wrong with the 5D or EOS R
Saying that it depends on the next RF body, which might come up before the Tokyo Olympics as well. I think a lot of people will be waiting now.
Also Canon will concentrate on RF lenses now and it is a future system so will get more attention.
It would be a good move if C. just put new sensor and processor into 5D and leave the rest as is and call it the last 5D ... and offer a reasonable price. ;)
@@valdius85 Not really as I wouldn't buy it. It will need to have 4K at 60.
Great video bro, definitely informational
Jared, you have supreme word to be heard! Coolness! I just saw word on a website that "Canon has also confirmed that a true professional R series model is on the way, one that will outclass even the EOS R." Wondering about that one. Thanks so much for hugely helpful ideas. Cheers,
welp, I got the 6D mark II because of price, also I already have some EF lenses and don't feel confident enough to get the other two, which are pricier and the EOS R seems like Canon is still figuring out their mirrorless game(better wait for the next iterations)
I Agree - I think Canon was holding out on the 2 card slot to put in the next model to make everyone feel that you gotta buy the new one!!
That 6D is good enough for most situation. It's on par with the 5Div for photoworks.
The video features may lacking, but I seldom used it. In weddings, I can't do photos and videos at the same time either.
Strangely, I even want Canon to just scrap out the video features on this camera so it can be as cheap as a Rebel.
Agree on price. I feel like this video is doing the wrong comparison. How about 6Dii vs 80D vs M50. I bought my 6Dii for about $800 new so it seems like these are more comparable in price.
Obviously if your budget is $2500 it isn't going to compare as well.
To be fair, $800 is an unusually good deal for a 6Dii body.
I don't care about video at all. My second choice was the M50 at the time.
@@RichFreeman I think the video is justified since these three are the top-of-the-line current Canon cameras, with the 6D Mark II being the entry level fullframe from their brand
This video is biased. This guy loves the EOS R. Canon 5D Mark IV is a better camera on those cameras above.
Not many reviews/videos really talk about how you can setup automatic backup to another device so it acts as a dual card slot. I talked to someone at a conference recently that would take the pictures, it would automatically backup and go to his team to be edited while he was out on location.
thank you! very good info ✌🏼
As an 80D user, glass glass glass! Save for the red rings, weatherproof and incredible glass/tech, trust me you won't regret it. My first L was the 70-200 2.8 ii and wow I am glad I bought it!! Shot many venues/events with it. Increased my photography confidence too!
I will say though, with these choices I would pick the R only for the upcoming FAST glass options. Regardless of your shooting style, fast glass usually equals money shots. I'm young with an old school soul, I still shoot my F1N with my chrome nose setups when I want full frame, so don't knock older(fossil) FF cams.
✌🏽
Fred agree, people talk cameras but it is only half the package, you need good lenses to to get sharp images and small depths of field. The cheapest camera here with better glass is going to give better images. Although, in the future the R lenses are the winners, as they can be made better due to the lens being closer to the sensor. But you need lots of money to get all that!
Agree. I was originally going to get an M50 for just this reason. You can get that and an L lens for a much more reasonable price. I ended up with a 6Dii just because it was on sale under $1k and I couldn't resist trying full frame at that price.
Glass is not glass if used on a crop sensor camera lol Put that L lens on a full frame camera, you'll immediately sell your 80D... No comparison.
@@Seniorsix I've shot a 5d3 and yes it's great, but not worth selling my 80D for. Also, I'm aware of the crop factor and I'm fine with it. When I eventually get a full frame, EOS R or better, I will still keep my 80D. It really is an amazing cam! There's a reason pros have a crop handy, it may be for a specific use, but it beats losing speed via an extender.
@@waynosfotos I agree! I've seen photographers on Flickr and other sites use older crops with incredible glass, shoot magazine style shots. Example google original 7d (or 30D, 50D, 7Dii) with the 400 L bird photography, watch what pops up.
I sold my Canon 6D Mark II and went with the Canon EOS R I wanted a lighter camera and I have a bunch of glass for canon if not I would have went Fuji XT-3 or Sony A7III.
@Sino Lino You're right, weight is about the same as the 6dmkii, but its much smaller, and that is a more important difference than 200 grams
I have a bunch of Canon glass (and I continue to buy more) and I still use a Sony. I wouldn't give my best friend a Canon camera.....
Sino Lino it is a much smaller camera both cameras in hand you can really tell the difference in size.
I did the same 😊
mustardymayo I’m happy for you. For what I do with the camera it will serve its purpose. You are an awesome friend to.
Interesting comparison. I bought the 5DIV a year or so ago and I’m really happy with it. In saying that, were I buying one today then the EOS R would be the one I’d get. I am a hobbyist so I card isn’t much of an issue, especially since I upgraded from the 5D mk2.
I had exactly the same thinking. Then I lost all photos from one trip due to windows glitch and now two card slots is a must ;)
Since Stephen is a Canon user like myself, I was wondering what he thought of the EOS R and if he bought one. I still have my 5D III and love it, along with my T4i, and love that too. They’re yesterday’s technology, true, but still work really well
Your video is single -dimensioned, focusing only on specs. All good on paper.
What about durability? Battery life? Weather resistance? Actual picture comparisons?
I'm going to buy the 6DMark II for Photography, Music Videos and Vlogging. ✌️🏾
pls dont, I got the 6dii since launch, believe me, it's a terrible camera for video and photo, 1080p looks so blurry and the IQ was far better in my old 6d mark I.
@@jesusalbertobf ...there must something wrong with your body... much other love the 6DII for using with video...but... maybe there ist a better solution out there when video is the priority.
The video is pretty good, out of the box far better than the final output of YT. Okay, if you want to play vids at home on a huge screen, maybe, but then all the dgi drones will look crap too. So what are you going to use to get pro footage? The video is good not fantastic, but as i have posted, a great all round camera and has a flippy screen which is so usable. I don’t think professional grade, but great for an enthusiast or hobbist that has not got huge money to throw at the hobby. A excellent camera for vlogging, insta, FB or sharing photos on line. It also has double level IS in the camera which works pretty well, although crops heavily on enhanced, but really usable for walking and talking.
Alberto Beltran Peter Mackinnon uses the 6D Mark II as his vlogging camera. YC Imaging shot music videos off of it, I know people personally who used the camera to start there business. I think this camera will be good for me. The Sony a7III will be my secondary hybrid. But for now, coming from a canon t6 which I gained a decent online following from with my photos the quality will be improved.
'I don't even need to speak about the 6D... but I will' - ha, ha - love the Fro!
I still go with the 5d mark iv its the one i use and its a beast
Too bad that extra slot is going to cost me an extra grand plus I'll have a lesser camera... good job canon! 😑
Bought the EOS R, hate the OVF, anyone wanna swap a mint 5D4 for it?
^^ after some A7 i switched back to DSLR, because i like mirror more for night shots... after 5DIII, i bougt 6DII... because the flipscreen.. ;)
Right before I jump into the video I like the video. Best and most honest reviews.
Hi! You know if I connect my 6DII to an external monitor, I can see my image in both screens? The external and the 6D II for tracking or I still use the touch focus at the same time?
The 80d made me a travel youtuber, I can't thank that camera enough
Mark IV all day long
I wound up buying the EOS R last week as I came to the same conclusion as you. I was considering the 6dmii for a few days because of the holiday price but decided I'd spend the money on the EOS R. Plus, I got 10% off of the body and 25% off of accessories from Best Buy because it was my birthday earlier this month. Stoked with my choice so far!
Great vid, I'm thinking of stepping up to FF and having both EF & EF-S lenses, the EOS R looks tempting, coming from 80D.
Totte Lundgren Did you ever get the R? I’ve got the 80d as well and looking to upgrade.
No surprises, the new camera is better than the old one's however...if I want to use 1 for a PAID job, go for MarkIV.
Unless you feel lucky (in the sense that hopefully the card doesn't fail), then go for EOS R to benefit from mirrorless tech and better AF performance!
My EOS R gets PAID jobs all the time
@@casamayer You may want to find yourself a good lawyer and an insurance to cover for your client losses when it fails. (Tell US trully that YOU are willing to Risk it). Cuz US professionals DO NOT. (That's the insurance that 2 cards provide).
@@jans19772012 Can you really speak on behalf of all professionals? 2 card slots do not automatically equate to professionalism, it all depends on the use. And please, for the love of the internet, don't use caps to emphasize words.
jans YOU sound like a TWAT
Quite boring spec comparison video with little to no real life background. I have 5D4 and EOS R, used both in varios jobs and... Jared, you're bit wrong about many small things here.
like what? I don't remember him being wrong about too much, and i own 5d mk3,4, and eos R.
I totally agree with you. I had all those models (plus a 5ds) and currently, I'm having a blast with the R. I just wish it had a double sd slot and Ibis. Besides that, the sheet spec doesn't make justice at all.
Same two bodies I have.
sold my R, RP and M50 last year. Bought 6dII in 2023, and a mint 5dII in 2024. And an R50 for my business to shoot quick videos with Eye Tracking. But for stills the old cameras are so much more fun for me.
Buy the 80D, or wait for the 90D!
Nope, staying with 80D
Same here, i have the old 60d and eos m5. No need for full frame until they get their crap together. Their giving me the images i desire. I do have L glass but wont switch to full frame bc of the Canon tactics. Some people say is a waist to use L glass on crop sensor but i disagree. It looks fantastic to me.
dude, you must try the Full Frame. they can change your perspective :)
@@fullandstarving Maybe.
the vid we been waiting for
I love my 6DMk2. Everytime I take photo with it, I love it even more.
