I really wanted the R5 but my budget said R6. No regrets whatsoever! It's a really fun camera to use and I love its image quality for both photos and videos. Minor quibbles: I wish you could program video settings to one of the custom functions. Also, the white AF box is hard to see in the EVF. I wish it were green or red instead. Otherwise, I'm in love with my R6. For $1900 I'd go to the Spanish or French Riviera. Or Kawaii. Or take a road trip down the PCH.
I own an a7Riii and wouldn't trade it for an r5/r6 even if they were the same price, and I'm not a Sony fanboy so go figure. Save that money, book a flight to Japan and enjoy shooting :)
If I was rich/unlimited funds I would like an R6 to complement my A7Riii... but then you are dealing with all new lenses and that gets messy quick. But the R6 is a sweet camera.
I am between R6, A7RII and A7III. I will switch from 5dm3 with canon glass. Which one will be the best for me? I will do photography. R6 is good but mp count is so low. I don't wan't to spend that much of money for 20 mp. Eye AF was not working on Sony as good as Canon. Did the latest update solve the problem?
I just moved from a7Riii to R5, finally feels like I'm using a device that I don't actively dislike using. My pinky doesn't dangle and my hand doesn't feel like it's slowly being cut into. The Sony bodies suck with lenses heavier than a few hundred grams.
I would rent the R5 with a nice RF lens for the weekend and put it through its paces. Then I would rent a Sony A7R3 with a good Tamron lens. Then I would ask Is there enough difference to justify the Canon. The only reason I could see to go with Canon would be the 85 F1.2 prime for portraits/weddings. If the F1.2 gave me a look I could not get elsewhere and I had profitable weddings/shoots that justified the price, the Canon would win out. Otherwise, I can buy two Sony A7R3s with Tamron lenses for the same price. Actually, I would probably buy an A7R3 for stills and an A7S3 for video and share lenses. That would be a powerful wedding setup.
If you have the money, however I cannot see justification buying a A7S3 when a A7Riii would make almost identical video in decent lighting, sure you have 60fps, but 3500 for that improvement?
Had the 5D4, sold it and got the EOS R, was planning on going to upgrade it to the R5, but the more I hear and read about it, I'll likely be going for the R6. I will be losing resolution (which I agree is not such a loss) and an upper screen (which I really prefer the mode wheel), but will be getting IBIS, Better follow focus, better ergonomics, dual sd cards, better video capabilities (120 fps hd, auto iso in video...), better evf. I must have missed some more, but, for the price, and the fact that I'm all in at canon lens (16-35, 35 1.8 rf, 50 1.4, 85 1.4, 70-200 2.8 II, 24-70 2.8) I believe going for the R6 is the right way for me
Thank you, I do think Sony is a better deal, especially for the last 3 years, but as you said, it's really comes down to a personal preference, anyway, love your videos, great job 👌🏻
After shooting Canon digital for the past 15 odd years my biggest problem with the Canon R is ergonomics. I am used to the 1D and 5D series cameras. The ergonomics of the R are just a little bit off... enough that when you should with both a 5D and R side by side it throws you a bit. The R5 and R6 seem to have a lost identical ergonomics to the 5D series with the only exception being the top LCD. That said I don't understand why Canon would cripple the R6 and make the camera shoot in auto when hitting the video record button while in photo mode. Having to switch the camera to video mode first in order to not shot video in auto mode throws a speed bump on front of every hybrid shooter.
I switched for the EOS R to the R6. Never looked back. In fact, I had both for a month before realizing I never touched my EOS R. The increase in low light performance, dynamic range, more responsive menu(processor actually makes the R6 quicker), and better video features sold me. Needless to say, I never missed the 10 extra MP on the EOS R.
@@xkben90 I miss my R's 30mpix currently shooting with the R6. Lets see how it goes for the next 6 months but I can see myself moving to the R5 to gain the ability to crop more when shooting wildlife. Otherwise R6 is good except I can not find spare Canon batteries anywhere. All sold out.
we're spoiled to have such great tools available to us now. good point about the a7r3 image being as good/better than r5 but 1700 for experiences. thanks for the video!
Great review. These days there are a lot of great cameras out there. I’ve used Canon ‘5 Series’ cameras for over 10 years. I still have and use my 5Dii. They just work, and work effortlessly. For the ‘wet coast’ we want gear that stands up to the sudden rain shower, or light drizzle. My 5 series cameras never had a problem. We is R5s as main cameras for photo and video, and I use an R as my second camera. For stills/events, the R5 is the main camera with a 24-70 2.8 on it, and the R wears the 70-200 2.8. For video we do shoot 8K and crop sometimes, or grab still frames. The R5 just checks all the boxes for our use case. Looking at the R6 as a second cam in the next year or so.
I bought r6 first. Nice camera but I upgraded to r5 as I love to shoot birds and 45 mo suit me well. I am coming from Sony A7r4 and before it a9 and A7r3 and I basically find R5 is the best of both worlds: it is like A9 except with 45mp. Very little rolling shutter at 20fps. I love 100-500 lens. It is just as sharp as Sony 200-600 but smaller and lighter and easier to handhold for longer. Camera is just more responsive than A7r4. A7r4 everything clears very slow, and rolling shutter is pretty bad with silent shutter. Both are great systems
Dmitry- thanks for sharing. I am considering the R5 instead of the a7R4. What was your experience shooting birds, action with a7R4 autofocus , frames per second at full raw, and buffering? Do you also shoot video? Thanks!
I had the a7RIII and couldn't get along with the controls, poorly arranged on a too-cramped body. Ergonomic update arrived with the a7RIV but some handling and usability issues persist which keep the camera from "disappearing" in my hands the way enthusiast- and professional-level Canons and Nikons do. Sony cameras constantly and unpleasantly remind me I'm working with a device rather than a camera. For me, the handling advantages alone are work the cost differential.
Great video really informative! Currently using the Canon EOS R, looking to upgrade to the R5 next year. Also, destination would be Yamagata prefecture in Japan :)
I think it's definitely worth the price difference over the Sony. It's more refined in every single way. It also takes 3 different Sony bodies to do what the R5 does. You didn't mention file size, the Raw or cRaw file from the Canon are considerably smaller that the Sony's, less disk space, less stress on your computer, and easier to edit.. i think if you compare the image quality to the A7R4 it's also very similar to the R5. Not much has happened in 3 years.
$1900 for a flight to take epic photos? Iceland would be my #1 pick there. I have to agree, the Sony offers a better value with an older camera. Once Canon and Nikon's mirrorless offerings start getting third party lenses, then the value for their offerings goes up considerably.
I upgrading from 5d mkiii to R5 I used my old 5d mkiii for 8 years. Now I looking to buy camera for another 8 years and R5 looks like a right choice for that.
Cannon are going to lag behind Sony for years, they got in the game too late, give it a year and Sony will blow Nikon and Cannon out of the water, they have been developing for 3 years after all).
@@suzesiviter6083 Going to Lag behind 😅 They already in front of everyone. With R6 and R5 and with R3 is on the way it's not going to happen any time soon
@@TomasRamoska LOL, they cant even make a camera producing better pictures than a 3 year old Sony. Plus now we have GM lenses which equal or superceed cannons best efforts.
I think you did well and providing some non-biased input. A lot of people try to put forth a neutral opinion, but you can usually see that they have a favorite. I think you continue to do a great job at playing a non-biased reviewer. Thanks, for all your hard work.
I appreciate that! I am lucky to have this job where I get to test and play with these different cameras- a few years ago I was impressed with Sony and made the personal choice to buy into that system. And I think they have done a great job - Now Canon has really improved on their first version and while I personally find the R5 a bit pricey it is a great camera and the R6 - well I want my own R6 now :)
Great review and I do like your photographer guest, there's something about him I like! As for the £1,345.61p that would of got us to the Cannery Islands return from the UK. This is where we should of been for the last two weeks if we hadn't gone into lock down! Thank you for your review!
The R5 also has a higher shutter rating - 500k vs 300k I think 😬 and you can crop from landscape to portrait and still have 19.9 megapixels! I’m loving the new lenses too, The 28-70 f2 is amazing :D the 70-200 is light, and the Bokeh on the 85 DS is niche and unique
Not to mention the screen , evf and the app. I have had the A7iii, A7RIV and A7C and the experience of the R6 is better than them all. And the R5 is even better. You can definitely tell the improvements in the In those areas including 5ghz file transfer.
I guess that makes two of us. I could not get over the menu system in my wife’s Sony. It felt like I was going back to the early 2000’s and the lack of touch screen usage made it frustrating.
As you see from the two replies and other comments here - it really isn't an unpopular take the Canon has a ton going for it - if you like Canon and you have the money - the R5 is a great camera.
I have the ARIII and be honest, I’m seriously considering getting the R6. Drop in resolution, yes. But editing raw on my MacBook Pro is getting slow. Which isn’t a problem with a shot here and there, but large photo sessions is painful. I’m more interested in ergonomics and autofocus. The R6 ticks all the boxes in my opinion.
@@simonjpierce Yes, unless I am shooting landscapes. I have a maxed out mid 2014. I know it’s not the newest, but any anything around 24mp works great. Anxiously waiting to see how the Apple M1 chip performs. I’d consider moving from Intel
@@g2teggify Same here, on both counts! I switch to uncompressed for 'single shooting', because hey why not. My fingers are crossed for an 'M2' next year in a 14' MB Pro :D
I hear you guys - my small Dell and my 2015 iMac are all starting to feel really sluggish when editing and those smaller file sizes from the R6 are great! I want M2 chip and I want the option for more than 16GB RAM (current limit with M1 machines) I also want to know that Adobe Classic will be fully supported - not just through rosetta.
Just Subbed as I found this a nice level headed review I have just purchased the R5 Why ? you ask I picked up a Sony and didn't like how it felt in my hands it felt like a toy to me anyway. I spent a lot of time 10 years ago picking between Nikon and Canon I went for the 50D best I could afford at the time ab out a year and a half ago I wanted more looking at the R it looked to be the way forward did I regret it well maybe but I didnt know the R5 /R6 was coming out, if so I would have waited . I have the RF24-105 F4 in quality its maybe the worst L spec lens Canon make you put it against the 28-75 F2.8 lol put it against the RF28-70 F2 and see yes £2k more and it is heavy but Im saving up for it hoping a Christmas present LOL You Quote " a Joy to use" is all I needed to know that is what I have found the first time out with it I was jumping up and down in excitement and that focus Bracketing for a macro photographer is a dream come true
20 mp is too little in 2022, it just doesn't cut it anymore, this is why i'm probably going to buy the sony a74 when it comes out, they say it'll have 32MP sensor, which is perfect imo, i don't really want the 60 mp a7r4 because it sucks in low light.
Yes it’s 2024 and I’m commenting about the long replaced a7Riii and the soon to be replaced Canon R5. I currently own both cameras. One system will be sold and while I really like the Sony (even the menu system) it will be sold in favor of the Canon. The main driver for me is ergonomics, autofocus and IBIS. No third party FF glass on Canon (for now) is a drawback but I’m good with the RF 100-500 and adapted EF lenses. As someone else commented, the R5 disappears in hand and that’s important to me. Both cameras are really excellent though and if the R5 hadn’t dropped in price so much I’d probably still be shooting the a7Riii.
Sony system with tamron trinity is the best bang for the buck. Plus the tamron lenses use the same filter size so you only need one (saves you money). Sony also has tons of student discounts a7III is only 1500 on BH with discount. a7riv and a9 only about 2600 with student discount.
First, as always, thank you for the informative video. Shot Canon for a long time but now shooting Sony but considering an R5. For me 20 Mpixels is not the camera I am looking for, Was fine when shooting a 1Dx or even my older 1DIV but after using an a9 see no reason to settle for only 20 Mpixels unless you really need a Canon at that price point. So is the R5 worth it as an alternative to Sony, not as a swap but on its merits alone. Or do you think its overpriced for what it is?
A few years - sure. All the cameras slowly get discounted. It's just a matter of how long you want to wait. And yes, in the meantime your 5D Mark IV remains a fantastic camera.
Purchased the r5 at first used it for two weeks and it was just too much. Then bought the R6 and although worried at first about MP my god what a camera I love it. So My 1900 would be to Alaska off grid vacations
Good video but you're not talking about the difference of Ibis performance between the R5 and the Sony A7r3. It could be a major difference between the two cameras. Does it make a big difference on the field for still photography?
A good camera is a camera that invites you to hold it, make you want to take it out to shoot photo. Once you are out there, it stay out of the way and let you enjoy the process. That makes the differences. The Sony will be more expensive per photo, if it sits inside the dry cabinet more often. I can’t explain it. If you put canon and sony in front of me, to play with, I will pickup the canon, hold it, play around with it even if I am not taking photo. I never do that with a sony, I just wouldn’t pick it up unless I have to. They are both expensive cameras, but if you are making money using the camera, 1900 is not a lot of money.
Damn, I rarely write comments, but boy, your comment is so similar to me. I also just take out my camera, turn it around, take a picture of the room just to take a shot. And from this you want to live by what you do, because you know that now you will take this baby and will do cool!
That’s kind of where I’m at. Currently I own a Fuji a xpro3, I love the controls and really enjoy using it. I want to move to full frame but I’m worried there are no options that feel even similar to the way Fuji cameras feel and function. I’ve been using a Canon R6 for college projects and so far if I can, I opt for my Fuji instead. It’s much lighter and I enjoy the tactile feel of the dials more. I don’t know which route to take
@@carter_is_here , I have a Fuji X100s. That is my bring- along camera, one that I would use when traveling light. That thing is a marvel, I like it very much. But for serious projects, I will have to take something faster, Fuji is good for Landscape, street photo, but just not fast enough. Oh, and my X100 also work as one of the accessories I use for posing, it looks like a Leica.
Nice video ! May I ask if I should buy this camera or iphone 12? Can the iphone replace this camera for my photo and videos needs ( general use ,not professionally )
Lol don't fall for all the hype. Iphone and smartphone image quality just sucks compared to a real camera. It's not even close. Crazy hiw apple makes people think they got something special in their hands lol
Could you comment on the autofocus of the a7riii for bird photography? I want the R5 but I could get the a7riii and the Tamron 150-500mm for $200 less than JUST the R5 and if you include a lens, that's $2700 more... And tax... That's a total of $3200... Even the R6 with a lens would $1650 more and you would get less than half the MP.... The thing that's so enticing about the R5/6 is the impeccable bird eye AF
Is it okay to have an A Cam of Sony and a B cam of Canon? Are there any major flaws if I do it? I often have seen many people sticking to one company. Any suggestions? I have canon 80d with 4 lenses and find the Sony a7siii really intriguing. Should I get the a7siii as an A Cam or just stick with canon for the lens that I already own?
The only issue is each camera is going to have a slightly different look - colors etc. So it will take some work in post processing to make them look similar. This is why filmakers like to use same systems.
I wish for a Canon R6 II with 30Mpix 😉👍R5 with too much and R6 too little Mpix🤔 And I have never ever used the top display on my old 5D II...So R6 II Will probably be perfect. ..because it will never get 20Mpix again....I hope😉 AND If Sony finaly make something nice to hold. ..and good to use. ..and something that not look old that fast. ..with all sharp edges.🙄Maybe...but probably never happening 😎.....🙄🤔And...I would rather pay for a photo model at home than travel in Covid 19 times.🙂 And in the end...R6 feels absolutely best for me right now😆😍
The R5 is a great camera, it's to bad that Canon overpriced it, it should have been around $4,900.00 CDN, the camera is definitely a lot more affordable in the US.
B&H 31. of July 2022 the Sony A7RIIIA 42 megapixels $2800, Sony A7RIVA 61 megapixels $3500 and Canon R5 45 megapixels $3900, I had the Sony A7RIII which are an excellent Camera ! Now I have the Sony A7RIV and A7RIVA and I may get the Sony A7RV, I feel I get much more for my money with Sony and there are a lot of Lenses for Sony E-mount ! I used to have Canon DSLR Cameras, I was not happy with Canon´s very slow and not enough upgrades. I was very happy with my analog Canon F-1 New Cameras and my Canon FDn Lenses.
Great points, thanks. Unfortunately none of these Sonys are suitable for Sports, which is the R5 bread and butter. I have the a7rii but can’t afford $6500 for a1, a camera that can truly do it all, just like the R5
@@unknownKnownunknowns "Not for sports", 5 to 10 fps (or less) are more than enough for sports, if you do not think that, well, you are not good enough to estimate when to press the shutter !
@@cameraprepper7938 have you tried the a7riv for sport hybrid shooting? Yep, i’m not good enough, hence why I need help from the camera as do all of the professionals to try to capture peak of the action. And not to mention the focus tracking and the better touchscreen. Believe me I have the a7rii and I’m looking for a reason to stay w Sony for 1 body, but not possible under $6500
Both cameras are very expensive in the Netherlands where i live. The R6 costs 2739 euro(3341 US dollars) and the R5 costs 4549 euro ( 5550 USdollars). I'm going to wait till the prices go down or maybe buy a EOS R for 1699 euro.
You mentioned that the R5 could be charged with any PD USB-C charger. Is this unique to the R5? I have tried a couple PD chargers with my R6 and I haven't gotten it to work.
No - not unique. Both should work with any PD charger. Strange. I know the original Canon R was picky but I am finding the R5 and R6 to be less picky - or maybe I just happen to have more real PD chargers in the house.
I do so many different types of photography, macro, wildlife, studio and location portraits, sports and travel photography. My budget says R6 but I know that Mpix thing is going to irritate me with surfing photos, even with a 400mm lens I have to crop and losing those pixels becomes a problem. so I'll pay up and get the R5. I'll also be heading back to Bali as soon as this Corona insanity blows over and we can get out again. I'd be willing to do 2 weeks of quarantine right now to get away from the dark and cold of Sweden
Did you go with R5, I am currently in the same position, do portraits, landscape and a lot fo surf photography... the a7riii Looks good for mps however love the shutter speed of the R6...
Get yourself a A7Riii and LAEA-4 adaptor so you can use all the old quality minolta lenses dirt cheap on the 2nd hand market, why pay thousands for lenses made of plastic, when you know a minolta Maxuum will last a lifetime. Its the environmental option to prevent waste and makes for a new hobby collecting old lenses, you see photography less for pixel peeping and more for the ART we know photography to be. Fact is the only difference in many cases between a $5000 dollar lens and a $100 one is 2 minutes in lightroom to boost contrast and correct chromatic aberration.
Just what I am looking for, because I’m thinking of selling my a7rii. The R5 is more $$, but can do so much more, right? Sports, Landscape, and all. You’re paying up for the incredible AF, FPS, and Video capabilities for the R5. The Sony a1 is roughly equivalent or slight more capable than the R5, bit it’s $2600 more!
The price difference is pretty significant - The R5 really makes the a1 seem a bit over priced. But one advantage of the a1 is lens selection with tons of affordable 3rd party options too. R5 you are more limited with lens selections some of those lenses are pricey. But overall it is a n excellent camera.
There is an old adage that states you get what you pay for. Sony are junk i shot them for portraits/weddings for a year, they frustrated the hell out of me over that time. The Canon R5/6 are overpriced by about $1k but I could feel the quality of ergonomics/build when I was testing the R6 with my 85mm 1.4L. I'm buying the R6 :)
Are you serious? You CAN’T set a custom setting for video to C3 and do a custom video clip while in photo mode? Full auto only!?! I can do it on my EOS R!
Thanks Toby in Australia the R5 is about $6588 the R6 $4388. the Sony A7rIII $3799 and the A7rIV is $4990. I’m not sure what to sell, kidney, left leg, left eye ...maybe all
@@broken12367 $ to £ equivalent, as for the R6 is bad enough but £4200 compared with $3900 is excessive. I know the prices have pushed a few down the Hong Kong supply route.
Plus the 8k which probably is most of the reason that price as well as the updated autofocus. Good enough value if you can justify it for ones business. I would be likely to buy the R6.
I was hoping to get the R5 but here in the UK it's the equivalent of $5534. I know there are differences in local taxes which have to be added to the US price but they won't come anywhere near $5534. Parity on Dollar/pound pricing was bad enough, as with the R6 but the excessive hike in the exchange price for the R5 smacks of greed.
R5 has much better focus system than the RIII, even outperform the RIV and A9. Meaningless to discuss the price of the body only, R5 is more compatible with all the fine L lens at much lower prices compared with RF or G master lens.
Not everyone needs lightning fast autofocus for most photography. The A7Riii has very good autofocus, all things considered. It's just that the R5 has got exceptionnal af.
After Cannon AND Nikon decided to ignore the mirrorless market whilst Sony was kicking A, I no longer trust Cannon and Nikon will keep up with technical innovations, they lose the plot in a market they should be THE experts. So for longevity, stick to Sony and their lenses, Sony always pushing that envelope of greatness. As an example, today we expect USB battery charging on products and Cannot didn't even comprehend that fact.
My big decision is going to be between the A7IV and the A7RIII. Currently on the A7RII (which has been abused - screen no longer works and a problem with the viewfinder - but still works)... The big thing that I want is better AF... especially when it comes to Wildlife (R2 is pants). I was thinking of taking a step back in MP. Most of the time I don't need 42MP, but sometimes it is useful (32-36MP would be fine). Wish you could choose the RAW MP you are shooting as you can in some Nikons. It's going to be a hard decision.... especially knowing the A7IV will have a better menu system and ergonomics.
Tough call and I wish we had an idea how close the a7iv is - that sounds like it could be a perfect camera for you. I found the file size of the a7riv to be too large - though I did like the improvements in AF- minor but there.
@@photorectoby it is.... but hey, I am on A7R2 and have been taking less photos this year. I can wait. Still not sure whether the RIII might actually make more sense. It's so hard to decide... but I feel like the only way I can decide is to wait until we know that the AIV is like
@@photorectoby Looks like Green Monday just solved the dilemma. The A7RIII was reduced to $1998 and with the payboo card I didn't even need to pay the 10% tax for living in CA. If I prefer the specs of the A7 IV when it comes out, I can just sell the R3 for about the same.
Coming from sony which i liked but not loved. But the canon r5 is so much more fun and responsive and the startup time is almost instant aa with sony (a9 and a7r4) it took too long in my opinion 😊
Same with me on the A7rIII. Compressed raw is great for action-orientated wildlife - speedier buffer clearance outweighs any tiny differences in the files.

I really wanted the R5 but my budget said R6. No regrets whatsoever! It's a really fun camera to use and I love its image quality for both photos and videos. Minor quibbles: I wish you could program video settings to one of the custom functions. Also, the white AF box is hard to see in the EVF. I wish it were green or red instead. Otherwise, I'm in love with my R6.
For $1900 I'd go to the Spanish or French Riviera. Or Kawaii. Or take a road trip down the PCH.
I own an a7Riii and wouldn't trade it for an r5/r6 even if they were the same price, and I'm not a Sony fanboy so go figure. Save that money, book a flight to Japan and enjoy shooting :)
If I was rich/unlimited funds I would like an R6 to complement my A7Riii... but then you are dealing with all new lenses and that gets messy quick. But the R6 is a sweet camera.
@@photorectoby GFX100 for me
I am between R6, A7RII and A7III. I will switch from 5dm3 with canon glass. Which one will be the best for me? I will do photography. R6 is good but mp count is so low. I don't wan't to spend that much of money for 20 mp. Eye AF was not working on Sony as good as Canon. Did the latest update solve the problem?
Or buy a GM lens with the spare money.
I just moved from a7Riii to R5, finally feels like I'm using a device that I don't actively dislike using. My pinky doesn't dangle and my hand doesn't feel like it's slowly being cut into. The Sony bodies suck with lenses heavier than a few hundred grams.
I would rent the R5 with a nice RF lens for the weekend and put it through its paces. Then I would rent a Sony A7R3 with a good Tamron lens. Then I would ask Is there enough difference to justify the Canon. The only reason I could see to go with Canon would be the 85 F1.2 prime for portraits/weddings. If the F1.2 gave me a look I could not get elsewhere and I had profitable weddings/shoots that justified the price, the Canon would win out. Otherwise, I can buy two Sony A7R3s with Tamron lenses for the same price. Actually, I would probably buy an A7R3 for stills and an A7S3 for video and share lenses. That would be a powerful wedding setup.
Man you are genius 🤟
If you have the money, however I cannot see justification buying a A7S3 when a A7Riii would make almost identical video in decent lighting, sure you have 60fps, but 3500 for that improvement?
spot on!!! which is why sony has those two lines the r for stills and the s for video
Had the 5D4, sold it and got the EOS R, was planning on going to upgrade it to the R5, but the more I hear and read about it, I'll likely be going for the R6. I will be losing resolution (which I agree is not such a loss) and an upper screen (which I really prefer the mode wheel), but will be getting IBIS, Better follow focus, better ergonomics, dual sd cards, better video capabilities (120 fps hd, auto iso in video...), better evf. I must have missed some more, but, for the price, and the fact that I'm all in at canon lens (16-35, 35 1.8 rf, 50 1.4, 85 1.4, 70-200 2.8 II, 24-70 2.8) I believe going for the R6 is the right way for me
I do think the R6 is a really great all around camera. Nice collection of lenses you have there - that will all work well on the R6.
Thank you, I do think Sony is a better deal, especially for the last 3 years, but as you said, it's really comes down to a personal preference, anyway, love your videos, great job 👌🏻
After shooting Canon digital for the past 15 odd years my biggest problem with the Canon R is ergonomics. I am used to the 1D and 5D series cameras. The ergonomics of the R are just a little bit off... enough that when you should with both a 5D and R side by side it throws you a bit. The R5 and R6 seem to have a lost identical ergonomics to the 5D series with the only exception being the top LCD.
That said I don't understand why Canon would cripple the R6 and make the camera shoot in auto when hitting the video record button while in photo mode. Having to switch the camera to video mode first in order to not shot video in auto mode throws a speed bump on front of every hybrid shooter.
I switched for the EOS R to the R6. Never looked back. In fact, I had both for a month before realizing I never touched my EOS R. The increase in low light performance, dynamic range, more responsive menu(processor actually makes the R6 quicker), and better video features sold me. Needless to say, I never missed the 10 extra MP on the EOS R.
@@xkben90 I miss my R's 30mpix currently shooting with the R6. Lets see how it goes for the next 6 months but I can see myself moving to the R5 to gain the ability to crop more when shooting wildlife. Otherwise R6 is good except I can not find spare Canon batteries anywhere. All sold out.
we're spoiled to have such great tools available to us now.
good point about the a7r3 image being as good/better than r5 but 1700 for experiences.
thanks for the video!
We do have great tools and great software and they are only going to improve.
Great review. These days there are a lot of great cameras out there. I’ve used Canon ‘5 Series’ cameras for over 10 years. I still have and use my 5Dii. They just work, and work effortlessly.
For the ‘wet coast’ we want gear that stands up to the sudden rain shower, or light drizzle. My 5 series cameras never had a problem. We is R5s as main cameras for photo and video, and I use an R as my second camera. For stills/events, the R5 is the main camera with a 24-70 2.8 on it, and the R wears the 70-200 2.8.
For video we do shoot 8K and crop sometimes, or grab still frames.
The R5 just checks all the boxes for our use case. Looking at the R6 as a second cam in the next year or so.
I bought r6 first. Nice camera but I upgraded to r5 as I love to shoot birds and 45 mo suit me well. I am coming from Sony A7r4 and before it a9 and A7r3 and I basically find R5 is the best of both worlds: it is like A9 except with 45mp. Very little rolling shutter at 20fps. I love 100-500 lens. It is just as sharp as Sony 200-600 but smaller and lighter and easier to handhold for longer. Camera is just more responsive than A7r4. A7r4 everything clears very slow, and rolling shutter is pretty bad with silent shutter. Both are great systems
Dmitry- thanks for sharing. I am considering the R5 instead of the a7R4. What was your experience shooting birds, action with a7R4 autofocus , frames per second at full raw, and buffering? Do you also shoot video? Thanks!
I had the a7RIII and couldn't get along with the controls, poorly arranged on a too-cramped body. Ergonomic update arrived with the a7RIV but some handling and usability issues persist which keep the camera from "disappearing" in my hands the way enthusiast- and professional-level Canons and Nikons do. Sony cameras constantly and unpleasantly remind me I'm working with a device rather than a camera. For me, the handling advantages alone are work the cost differential.
Great video really informative! Currently using the Canon EOS R, looking to upgrade to the R5 next year. Also, destination would be Yamagata prefecture in Japan :)
I think it's definitely worth the price difference over the Sony. It's more refined in every single way. It also takes 3 different Sony bodies to do what the R5 does. You didn't mention file size, the Raw or cRaw file from the Canon are considerably smaller that the Sony's, less disk space, less stress on your computer, and easier to edit.. i think if you compare the image quality to the A7R4 it's also very similar to the R5. Not much has happened in 3 years.
I am willing to say for some people it is worth the extra and I agree there is lots of refinement there.
Liking before even watching, this is how I roll
$1900 for a flight to take epic photos? Iceland would be my #1 pick there.
I have to agree, the Sony offers a better value with an older camera. Once Canon and Nikon's mirrorless offerings start getting third party lenses, then the value for their offerings goes up considerably.
I upgrading from 5d mkiii to R5 I used my old 5d mkiii for 8 years. Now I looking to buy camera for another 8 years and R5 looks like a right choice for that.
The R5 does feel like a camera that will do you well for many years.
Cannon are going to lag behind Sony for years, they got in the game too late, give it a year and Sony will blow Nikon and Cannon out of the water, they have been developing for 3 years after all).
@@suzesiviter6083 Going to Lag behind 😅 They already in front of everyone. With R6 and R5 and with R3 is on the way it's not going to happen any time soon
@@TomasRamoska LOL, they cant even make a camera producing better pictures than a 3 year old Sony. Plus now we have GM lenses which equal or superceed cannons best efforts.

I think you did well and providing some non-biased input. A lot of people try to put forth a neutral opinion, but you can usually see that they have a favorite. I think you continue to do a great job at playing a non-biased reviewer. Thanks, for all your hard work.
I appreciate that! I am lucky to have this job where I get to test and play with these different cameras- a few years ago I was impressed with Sony and made the personal choice to buy into that system. And I think they have done a great job - Now Canon has really improved on their first version and while I personally find the R5 a bit pricey it is a great camera and the R6 - well I want my own R6 now :)
Great overview and logic. I'm in the used market, in the end, if the R6 and a7Riii are the same price, are you saying you would choose the a7Riii?
Great review and I do like your photographer guest, there's something about him I like! As for the £1,345.61p that would of got us to the Cannery Islands return from the UK. This is where we should of been for the last two weeks if we hadn't gone into lock down!
Thank you for your review!
The R5 also has a higher shutter rating - 500k vs 300k I think 😬 and you can crop from landscape to portrait and still have 19.9 megapixels! I’m loving the new lenses too, The 28-70 f2 is amazing :D the 70-200 is light, and the Bokeh on the 85 DS is niche and unique
Hi friend. What camera was this video filmed with? The picture is very clear and bright!
thank you Toby
Am agonizing between the R6 and the Sony a7iii which has a similar price gap. This has been very helpful.
On the same boat. What did you end up choosing?
@@monicaalvarez9686 R6
This may be an unpopular take, but I will gladly pay extra for the usability of the Canon over the Sony. Those menus are TERRIBLE
Not to mention the screen , evf and the app.
I have had the A7iii, A7RIV and A7C and the experience of the R6 is better than them all. And the R5 is even better. You can definitely tell the improvements in the In those areas including 5ghz file transfer.
I guess that makes two of us. I could not get over the menu system in my wife’s Sony. It felt like I was going back to the early 2000’s and the lack of touch screen usage made it frustrating.
As you see from the two replies and other comments here - it really isn't an unpopular take the Canon has a ton going for it - if you like Canon and you have the money - the R5 is a great camera.
Sony menus are fine. The grip and general handling on the other hand, not so much.
Love the honest review. There have been several other youtubers that have given the R5 great reviews not bringing up the cost.
I have the ARIII and be honest, I’m seriously considering getting the R6. Drop in resolution, yes. But editing raw on my MacBook Pro is getting slow. Which isn’t a problem with a shot here and there, but large photo sessions is painful. I’m more interested in ergonomics and autofocus. The R6 ticks all the boxes in my opinion.
Shooting compressed raw? Makes life much easier on my 2015 MB Pro.
@@simonjpierce Yes, unless I am shooting landscapes.
I have a maxed out mid 2014. I know it’s not the newest, but any anything around 24mp works great.
Anxiously waiting to see how the Apple M1 chip performs. I’d consider moving from Intel
@@g2teggify Same here, on both counts! I switch to uncompressed for 'single shooting', because hey why not. My fingers are crossed for an 'M2' next year in a 14' MB Pro :D
I hear you guys - my small Dell and my 2015 iMac are all starting to feel really sluggish when editing and those smaller file sizes from the R6 are great! I want M2 chip and I want the option for more than 16GB RAM (current limit with M1 machines) I also want to know that Adobe Classic will be fully supported - not just through rosetta.

Just Subbed as I found this a nice level headed review I have just purchased the R5 Why ? you ask I picked up a Sony and didn't like how it felt in my hands it felt like a toy to me anyway. I spent a lot of time 10 years ago picking between Nikon and Canon I went for the 50D best I could afford at the time ab out a year and a half ago I wanted more looking at the R it looked to be the way forward did I regret it well maybe but I didnt know the R5 /R6 was coming out, if so I would have waited . I have the RF24-105 F4 in quality its maybe the worst L spec lens Canon make you put it against the 28-75 F2.8 lol put it against the RF28-70 F2 and see yes £2k more and it is heavy but Im saving up for it hoping a Christmas present LOL
You Quote " a Joy to use" is all I needed to know that is what I have found the first time out with it I was jumping up and down in excitement and that focus Bracketing for a macro photographer is a dream come true
20 mp is too little in 2022, it just doesn't cut it anymore, this is why i'm probably going to buy the sony a74 when it comes out, they say it'll have 32MP sensor, which is perfect imo, i don't really want the 60 mp a7r4 because it sucks in low light.
lol even 32mp of sony sucks in low light,. hahahaha
Yes it’s 2024 and I’m commenting about the long replaced a7Riii and the soon to be replaced Canon R5. I currently own both cameras. One system will be sold and while I really like the Sony (even the menu system) it will be sold in favor of the Canon. The main driver for me is ergonomics, autofocus and IBIS. No third party FF glass on Canon (for now) is a drawback but I’m good with the RF 100-500 and adapted EF lenses. As someone else commented, the R5 disappears in hand and that’s important to me. Both cameras are really excellent though and if the R5 hadn’t dropped in price so much I’d probably still be shooting the a7Riii.
Sony system with tamron trinity is the best bang for the buck. Plus the tamron lenses use the same filter size so you only need one (saves you money). Sony also has tons of student discounts a7III is only 1500 on BH with discount. a7riv and a9 only about 2600 with student discount.
Sony has been smart with marketing and the student discounts! Good point about the Tamron lenses too
First, as always, thank you for the informative video. Shot Canon for a long time but now shooting Sony but considering an R5. For me 20 Mpixels is not the camera I am looking for, Was fine when shooting a 1Dx or even my older 1DIV but after using an a9 see no reason to settle for only 20 Mpixels unless you really need a Canon at that price point. So is the R5 worth it as an alternative to Sony, not as a swap but on its merits alone. Or do you think its overpriced for what it is?
Give R5 a few years and its price will drop significantly. Now i just hang on to my rusty trusty 5D mark IV. Thanks for tge review.
A few years - sure. All the cameras slowly get discounted. It's just a matter of how long you want to wait. And yes, in the meantime your 5D Mark IV remains a fantastic camera.
In the photo at 1:06-1:08 mins I notice that the person is surrounded by a dark fringe.
I often see that in Canon images and I wonder why that is.
Hi, thank you for the video. Which Canon lens were your shooting with?
I used the RF 24-105 f/4, the 15-35 f/2.8, the 35mm macro and then Canon 24-70 f/28 EF w/ adapter and the Canon 100-400 EF with adapter.
Como siempre... excelentes videos y review!!!!
You are always the voice of reason. (Along with my wife) thanks.
Purchased the r5 at first used it for two weeks and it was just too much. Then bought the R6 and although worried at first about MP my god what a camera I love it. So My 1900 would be to Alaska off grid vacations
It was too much how so?
Enjoyable review...cheers
Thank you kindly!
Good video but you're not talking about the difference of Ibis performance between the R5 and the Sony A7r3. It could be a major difference between the two cameras. Does it make a big difference on the field for still photography?
The 8 stops of IBIS listed for Canon is only with a few lenses. So on the whole of it the difference isn't major.
A good camera is a camera that invites you to hold it, make you want to take it out to shoot photo. Once you are out there, it stay out of the way and let you enjoy the process.
That makes the differences. The Sony will be more expensive per photo, if it sits inside the dry cabinet more often.
I can’t explain it. If you put canon and sony in front of me, to play with, I will pickup the canon, hold it, play around with it even if I am not taking photo. I never do that with a sony, I just wouldn’t pick it up unless I have to.
They are both expensive cameras, but if you are making money using the camera, 1900 is not a lot of money.
Damn, I rarely write comments, but boy, your comment is so similar to me. I also just take out my camera, turn it around, take a picture of the room just to take a shot. And from this you want to live by what you do, because you know that now you will take this baby and will do cool!
That’s kind of where I’m at. Currently I own a Fuji a xpro3, I love the controls and really enjoy using it. I want to move to full frame but I’m worried there are no options that feel even similar to the way Fuji cameras feel and function. I’ve been using a Canon R6 for college projects and so far if I can, I opt for my Fuji instead. It’s much lighter and I enjoy the tactile feel of the dials more. I don’t know which route to take
@@carter_is_here , I have a Fuji X100s. That is my bring- along camera, one that I would use when traveling light. That thing is a marvel, I like it very much.
But for serious projects, I will have to take something faster, Fuji is good for Landscape, street photo, but just not fast enough. Oh, and my X100 also work as one of the accessories I use for posing, it looks like a Leica.
Nice video ! May I ask if I should buy this camera or iphone 12?
Can the iphone replace this camera for my photo and videos needs ( general use ,not professionally )
Lol don't fall for all the hype. Iphone and smartphone image quality just sucks compared to a real camera. It's not even close. Crazy hiw apple makes people think they got something special in their hands lol
Could you comment on the autofocus of the a7riii for bird photography? I want the R5 but I could get the a7riii and the Tamron 150-500mm for $200 less than JUST the R5 and if you include a lens, that's $2700 more... And tax... That's a total of $3200... Even the R6 with a lens would $1650 more and you would get less than half the MP.... The thing that's so enticing about the R5/6 is the impeccable bird eye AF
You can travel to Costa Rica at the moment!
Greet video Toby! Familiar conversation! 😀 And I would pick Iceland!
Iceland is always a great choice!
Is it okay to have an A Cam of Sony and a B cam of Canon? Are there any major flaws if I do it? I often have seen many people sticking to one company. Any suggestions? I have canon 80d with 4 lenses and find the Sony a7siii really intriguing. Should I get the a7siii as an A Cam or just stick with canon for the lens that I already own?
The only issue is each camera is going to have a slightly different look - colors etc. So it will take some work in post processing to make them look similar. This is why filmakers like to use same systems.
@@photorectoby thank you for the response
I wish for a Canon R6 II with 30Mpix 😉👍R5 with too much and R6 too little Mpix🤔
And I have never ever used the top display on my old 5D II...So R6 II Will probably be perfect. ..because it will never get 20Mpix again....I hope😉
AND If Sony finaly make something nice to hold. ..and good to use. ..and something that not look old that fast. ..with all sharp edges.🙄Maybe...but probably never happening 😎.....🙄🤔And...I would rather pay for a photo model at home than travel in Covid 19 times.🙂
And in the end...R6 feels absolutely best for me right now😆😍
The R5 is a great camera, it's to bad that Canon overpriced it, it should have been around $4,900.00 CDN, the camera is definitely a lot more affordable in the US.
not really it's still $3899 before tax and after tax over $4189
What about rolling shutter in R5 and R6? ;)
B&H 31. of July 2022 the Sony A7RIIIA 42 megapixels $2800, Sony A7RIVA 61 megapixels $3500 and Canon R5 45 megapixels $3900, I had the Sony A7RIII which are an excellent Camera ! Now I have the Sony A7RIV and A7RIVA and I may get the Sony A7RV, I feel I get much more for my money with Sony and there are a lot of Lenses for Sony E-mount ! I used to have Canon DSLR Cameras, I was not happy with Canon´s very slow and not enough upgrades. I was very happy with my analog Canon F-1 New Cameras and my Canon FDn Lenses.
Great points, thanks. Unfortunately none of these Sonys are suitable for Sports, which is the R5 bread and butter. I have the a7rii but can’t afford $6500 for a1, a camera that can truly do it all, just like the R5
@@unknownKnownunknowns "Not for sports", 5 to 10 fps (or less) are more than enough for sports, if you do not think that, well, you are not good enough to estimate when to press the shutter !

A7R3 now 2k on sale
Both cameras are very expensive in the Netherlands where i live. The R6 costs 2739 euro(3341 US dollars) and the R5 costs 4549 euro ( 5550 USdollars). I'm going to wait till the prices go down or maybe buy a EOS R for 1699 euro.
You mentioned that the R5 could be charged with any PD USB-C charger. Is this unique to the R5? I have tried a couple PD chargers with my R6 and I haven't gotten it to work.
No - not unique. Both should work with any PD charger. Strange. I know the original Canon R was picky but I am finding the R5 and R6 to be less picky - or maybe I just happen to have more real PD chargers in the house.
@@photorectoby Thanks. I was able to get my R6 to recognize a USB-C PD power bank today. I'll try some other chargers.
Hi what do you think Canon R6 vs A7 R3 - i shoot mostly studio portraits of people, and also - photo and small videos for IG 🙏 Cant make a choose 🥺
Бери Р6)
I do so many different types of photography, macro, wildlife, studio and location portraits, sports and travel photography. My budget says R6 but I know that Mpix thing is going to irritate me with surfing photos, even with a 400mm lens I have to crop and losing those pixels becomes a problem. so I'll pay up and get the R5.
I'll also be heading back to Bali as soon as this Corona insanity blows over and we can get out again. I'd be willing to do 2 weeks of quarantine right now to get away from the dark and cold of Sweden
Did you go with R5, I am currently in the same position, do portraits, landscape and a lot fo surf photography... the a7riii Looks good for mps however love the shutter speed of the R6...
Been holding out for a 5D Mark IV equivalent mirrorless from Canon to pair with my Mark IV as a second body and now I'm tore between the R5 and R6.
I'm in the same spot! Have you decided yet? Would love to hear about real life experiences!
@@Sliff I went with the R6 and have zero regrets about that decision.
if im just shooting pictures and doing some video, dont need 8k just 4k, should I just get the r6? or should I save up and try to get the r5?

@@SCEcho2 don’t forget, you can pull out frames of the 8k video.
Get yourself a A7Riii and LAEA-4 adaptor so you can use all the old quality minolta lenses dirt cheap on the 2nd hand market, why pay thousands for lenses made of plastic, when you know a minolta Maxuum will last a lifetime. Its the environmental option to prevent waste and makes for a new hobby collecting old lenses, you see photography less for pixel peeping and more for the ART we know photography to be. Fact is the only difference in many cases between a $5000 dollar lens and a $100 one is 2 minutes in lightroom to boost contrast and correct chromatic aberration.
Just what I am looking for, because I’m thinking of selling my a7rii. The R5 is more $$, but can do so much more, right? Sports, Landscape, and all. You’re paying up for the incredible AF, FPS, and Video capabilities for the R5. The Sony a1 is roughly equivalent or slight more capable than the R5, bit it’s $2600 more!
The price difference is pretty significant - The R5 really makes the a1 seem a bit over priced. But one advantage of the a1 is lens selection with tons of affordable 3rd party options too. R5 you are more limited with lens selections some of those lenses are pricey. But overall it is a n excellent camera.
@@photorectoby Sony allows third party lenses out of necessity, not generosity.
@@dirtysouthtiger What is that necessity?
There is an old adage that states you get what you pay for. Sony are junk i shot them for portraits/weddings for a year, they frustrated the hell out of me over that time.

@@broken12367 $ to £ equivalent, as for the R6 is bad enough but £4200 compared with $3900 is excessive. I know the prices have pushed a few down the Hong Kong supply route.

Sage advice 👍🏿
I was hoping to get the R5 but here in the UK it's the equivalent of $5534. I know there are differences in local taxes which have to be added to the US price but they won't come anywhere near $5534. Parity on Dollar/pound pricing was bad enough, as with the R6 but the excessive hike in the exchange price for the R5 smacks of greed.
Ugh - that is getting really pricey. Sorry man!
The canon seems to expensive. I am waiting for the Nikon Z 7II. As far as a destination I have a few ideas New Zealand, Safari in Africa or Israel.
5 thumbs down hate abusive square space ads lol.
R5 has much better focus system than the RIII, even outperform the RIV and A9. Meaningless to discuss the price of the body only, R5 is more compatible with all the fine L lens at much lower prices compared with RF or G master lens.
Not everyone needs lightning fast autofocus for most photography. The A7Riii has very good autofocus, all things considered. It's just that the R5 has got exceptionnal af.
Think I’ll wait for the R7.
It’s cancelled unfortunately.
After Cannon AND Nikon decided to ignore the mirrorless market whilst Sony was kicking A, I no longer trust Cannon and Nikon will keep up with technical innovations, they lose the plot in a market they should be THE experts. So for longevity, stick to Sony and their lenses, Sony always pushing that envelope of greatness.
As an example, today we expect USB battery charging on products and Cannot didn't even comprehend that fact.
Buy it used, you didn't really need it before, upgrades can wait, customers are not asking if you upgrade to the latest.
I agree that used is a great way to save money on bodies and lenses - but it is going to be awhile before these are available used.
My big decision is going to be between the A7IV and the A7RIII. Currently on the A7RII (which has been abused - screen no longer works and a problem with the viewfinder - but still works)... The big thing that I want is better AF... especially when it comes to Wildlife (R2 is pants). I was thinking of taking a step back in MP. Most of the time I don't need 42MP, but sometimes it is useful (32-36MP would be fine). Wish you could choose the RAW MP you are shooting as you can in some Nikons. It's going to be a hard decision.... especially knowing the A7IV will have a better menu system and ergonomics.
Tough call and I wish we had an idea how close the a7iv is - that sounds like it could be a perfect camera for you. I found the file size of the a7riv to be too large - though I did like the improvements in AF- minor but there.
@@photorectoby They are saying Q2 or Q3 next year for the A7IV. Hard choice indeed.
@@MeAMuse Q3 is far away. Dang.
@@photorectoby it is.... but hey, I am on A7R2 and have been taking less photos this year. I can wait. Still not sure whether the RIII might actually make more sense. It's so hard to decide... but I feel like the only way I can decide is to wait until we know that the AIV is like
@@photorectoby Looks like Green Monday just solved the dilemma. The A7RIII was reduced to $1998 and with the payboo card I didn't even need to pay the 10% tax for living in CA. If I prefer the specs of the A7 IV when it comes out, I can just sell the R3 for about the same.
Inro was so 😎 cool. Great 👍🏻

Coming from sony which i liked but not loved. But the canon r5 is so much more fun and responsive and the startup time is almost instant aa with sony (a9 and a7r4) it took too long in my opinion 😊

"You can shoot in compressed raw or uncompressed raw I don't see any difference compressed is just fine with me.".

Oh does he have a different opinion?
It probably comes from early tech issues, where there probably was a real difference if I had to guess.
Same with me on the A7rIII. Compressed raw is great for action-orientated wildlife - speedier buffer clearance outweighs any tiny differences in the files.
I have never seen a difference.
switch to a sony, ehh ill wait lol
