Nice! There are definitely some upgrades with the R6ii, but if that was a stretch and/or you're excited for the smaller size, that will allow for much more budget to add in batteries, nice cards, and maybe even one of the small primes. Enjoy it! As a bonus, if you ever upgrade, you'll feel right at home.
Bought two R8 Bodies this holiday season! After shooting on my starter camera 70D for the last 9 years, and it’s been a game-changer for my photography. Lowlight, Image quality, and Full Frame.
Ooo, big upgrade! And two... that's interesting, I hadn't thought of the R8 like that, but for the people that want two of the same, this is actually a decent model to shoot in duplicate with. If I ever got into shooting in-person, multi-cam podcasts for clients, this might be my "affordable" way into something like that.
@@DanYosua absolutely! having two R8 bodies is essential so I can have my 35 and a 70-200 ready in tandem. It’s also great for when my wife helps as my second shooter for weddings! The video specs are respectable like the no record-limit in the R6ii
I had an R8 to back up my classic R6, but unfortunately had my R8 stolen at a shoot 😢. I wonder who has the camera now in days. I just ended up buying the R6 M2.
Oh nooo, RIP 🥲 The R6ii seems great though, combines all the great R6 stuff with better video recording capability. Anything surprising from the R6ii that you didn't expect?
For others reading - You can probably get by with one battery to start on the R6 and R7 if you're photo-first and not shooting a ton.. you need* to start with two for the R8. Probably three if truly shooting hybrid. For long-form video, my battery dies before the camera overheats, I get about ~60-70m in 4k24. And I notice I'm chewing through it if I mix in 4k60 clips amongst photos when out shooting. So def two, and be disciplined about keeping them charged and dumping cards. But sounds like a good call for you, that's why I like the battery grip. There are many times I slap two fully charged batteries in that and not worry about swapping at all.
Dont buy R7 it has autofocusing issues, especially when using Burst Mode, you will get frustrated especially with wildlife and fast moving objects, R8 does not have IBIS, R6 is the best , I own both R6 and R7 but R6 is simply the best even with only 20 megapixels
I've noticed that it's not quite as good in high speed shooting as well, but it's fairly good. I'm hoping with the R7ii, they make improvements there to bring it up to speed with the R6ii, even if it starts at a higher price or has a few less megapixels.
Wave if you're new 👋

@j-steventaitano3011 happy to have ya! Are you choosing between these three?
@@DanYosua I am eyeing the R8!
Thanks! I purchased the R8 this afternoon. Your video helped sway me down from the R6 Mk II.

Your channel is underrated.
Thank you for this! If you don't mind sharing, what makes you say so? Anything in particular you can put your finger on?
Excellent video! I really appreciated the comparisons between these three cameras.
Thanks, we've got a lotta choices these days!

I bet, and a good combo of lenses to pair with each as well!
This was the exact issue i had about 5 months ago. Went with the R8 and while I miss the joystick, I love my R8!
I find I'm willing to occasionally use the control ring on lenses when paired with this camera. Something I haven't done much with the R6.
@@DanYosua I love the control ring tons, couldn’t live without it lol
Haha the more I've leaned into auto ISO, the more I've liked it as well.

R8 has dire battery life. I considered trading my R7 in for it. But after seeing my friend struggle with it I noped out.

You're so handsome dude. It makes up for the corny jokes.

I got my refurbished R6 on Canon's website for 1299 on Camera Day of 2023.
Steal! I got my Rf 100-400 refurb
R8 for me ❤
