I've spent 8 months with the Canon R5 and have discovered it has a few annoying quirks but I've also come to appreciate its strong points. I sum it up for you with 5 flaws and 5 faves because that seems balanced and fair while also being digestible and snappy.
TL; DW
The R5s 5 Flaws are:
- Some SD cards freeze camera
- Sticky AF
- Battery Life
- Video Limits
- Boring Design
My R5 Faves Include:
- Frame Rate
- Versatility
- Lenses
- Usability
- EVF
Chelsey, I like your solo videos where you're not having to riff off Tony. You have a nice, easygoing vibe.
750 shots off half a battery ain't too bad for a mirrorless!
I totally agree but... at 20 frames per second, that could be little more than half a minute shooting time!
@@WIDGI lol tru
I got 780 shots and still had ~70% battery left on my R5. But that was starting from a full battery.
Not bad for canon ML =D
perhaps continuous AF was on ? That was the 1st thing I turned off in my R6.. keeps the lenses moving in their focus motors and significantly causes battery drain.
Tune in again next month when Chelsea switches brands again ;-)
That SD card issue should be a reason this camera is replaced with an A1. Wth kind of camera has issues with it’s sd card slot. That’s like the main function.
500$ sell our R5 camera
Don't you dare turn my black box into a fashion accessory!
No it needs to change. Come on look at Apple.
Says the body looks to be designed in the 80's and then shows the Leica body that looks to be designed in the 50's.
@@Whiskey185 In the 80s Canon asked Colani to redesign the camera. Well, he did. But it never got hold. (google for: Canon Colani)
yeah, it's not a handbag.
I always appreciate your honesty. I like hearing complaints and positives from someone who like (loves) their camera. No camera is perfect.
I have no problem with my R5 boring black brick camera ... Looks like every other boring black camera - a plus once we can travel again and I am walking through some dodgy neighborhoods.
I agree - and who needs a fashion accessory that dates. If a manufacturer does go down that marketing track they might be tempted to offer limited edition 'collectibles'... lets not stumble into that rabbit hole.
I shoot wildlife with supertele primes and people ask me why I’m using a rebel with a 600 prime :)
The Nikon Z series are, imo, nicer looking cameras that still stay quite nondescript and functional.
I feel like ANY camera in a dodgy neighbourhood is a problem, I'd shoot raw files on my phone in that case.
Chelsea, I was having the same problem with partially charged batteries dyeing quickly. I turned "ON" Airplane mode. That really helped me out on the battery all around. Thanks for the video.
Wow. The R5 has an Airplane Mode? Good to know… This comment needs a LOT of attention.
@@longliveclassicmusic is that a feature? Pretty sure even in sony apsc it came as a default option in the menu...
Apparently without "Airplane" mode turned on the R5 will keep using WiFi even when turned off!!
In the old days black and silver camera bodies were common. All black bodies were the top of the line pro bodies. It was a status symbol. It was desirable. I think the manufactures are still of the same mindset.
It's not just manufacturers who think that way, sadly. I gave up using Fuji for pro work because I had a handful of (entirely separate) clients make comments to the effect of not trusting my work if I was using a camera that didn't look 'professional' i.e. a big all-black brick. In one case a client on location literally said "oh... is _that_ your camera? Really?" to my face when I pulled out a silver X-T3 and X100F, continued to sneer for the entire time, and then I later learnt they had hired another photographer (who happens to be my friend, which the client didn't know) to reshoot the same job _before they'd even seen my photos_ and apparently spent several minutes of the reshoot complaining about me and my 'hipster' 'amateur' gear. Yes, that particular client was an asshole and yes the others weren't much better, but still the end result was that the nice-looking, stylish, silver cameras cost me work.
Never had that trouble when I shot with Canon or Sony before then. Didn't have that problem when I used the all-black chunky Fuji X-H1. Never had that problem since switching back to Canon.
@@sebastianmatthews1663 Wow! What do you shoot now?
@@sebastianmatthews1663 so your friend back stabbed you?
Black & Silver //= Two Tone Olympus as Limited Editions More Rare Costing More Example the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II Advertised as Silver,, IS Actually the Silver & Black and Only 2000 Were Released Worldwide, & Best Looking Camera, Any Of Olympus Models of the So Call Silver always look the nicest Classy looking, :-)
Are you kidding I love the R5's design; big black piece of tech, no frills, just ergonomics and raw technology. It's just absolute power. You can feel yourself go super Saiyan the moment you pick one up..
Great video Chelsea. Fun to watch as well as informative.
Every time I see "Eye AF", I read it in my head as "Eye As F*ck". That made the "Sticky AF" title card pretty funny
Same!
But AF is originally autofocus
@@DarkPa1adin I'm pretty sure he knows that.
Same
They make the cameras black so they don’t reflect on things we shoot, at least that is my theory.
You surely wouldn't like the camera to have silver, grey or any light reflective color when shooting widlife. May look good but animals will notice and hide away🤔🐦🦉
If you want your cameras in multiple colors, Pentax has you covered 💀
Thanks for this one, super appreciative you share the work arounds!
Chelsea, you are amazing to listen to. Very detailed but easy to follow - Thank you!
With the utmost respect
These are the most ridiculous negatives I have ever heard about R5
It was quite clear
You tried very hard to increase the number of negative points to 5
I also use R5
More than 7 months
I do not want to say that this camera is without problems, but
Battery life is better than average
I never had a problem with the memory card
Autofocus is the best I've ever experienced
About the colorful design of the camera
I better not talk
"These are the most ridiculous negatives I have ever heard about R5"
Well, then that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
"You tried very hard to increase the number of negative points to 5"
Yes, she said so herself.
"Battery life is better than average"
Not actually a refutation of what she said.
"I never had a problem with the memory card"
And I've never been in a car crash. Yet, I accept that they happen regardless.
"Autofocus is the best I've ever experienced"
Not actually a refutation of what she said.
"About the colorful design of the camera I better not talk"
She said aesthetics is a thing people value.
One of the flaws she *was* right about, but in the future will be wrong about, is the 30min video limit. That will go away on the next firmware update :D
I just got an R5 this week (upgrade from an R) the lens are a fave of mine too. They're also a flaw for me as I could only afford one.
what is the one you choose?
The RF 24-70mm f/2.8L
@@superdimensionfoto well then you wont be needing anything else for awhile :)
@@superdimensionfoto i love the rf prime lenses they are gold.
I rented the R5 two weeks ago. I'm an R user currently. The R5 was pretty slick, I'm going to order it in a week or two.
I've had that problem with the SD Cards (Song Tough and Sandisk Extreme Pro Cards) on both the R5 and R6, doesn't happen all the time, but I agree, it fixes once I reformat the card. Some issue there. I also have a C70 Cinema camera that takes SD cards and when I stick it into that camera, I never get an issue with the same cards. So it's definitely a glitch on the R5/R6 software, not actual hardware.
Same. And I’m using Sony tough cards as well.
Weird. By the time I can afford an R5, maybe the issue will have been fixed XD
R6. Identical problem! Using Lexar Professional 128GB V60 ii U3 1667x 250MB/s. I’ve formatted and re-formatted in-camera; makes no difference. Like to think Canon are going to provide a fix, very soon.
Same problem. I am using Lexar Pro 128gb 300MB/s V90 II 2000x that have never been used in any other camera but the R5.
Been talking to Canon for a week and they insist they don’t know why freeze-ups occur. For what it's worth I use Sony Tough cards and have 2,000 actuations on my R5 in the last eight months.
Chelsea with regards to the battery did you turn off the Bluetooth, gps and wifi ? I was experiencing poor battery life on my Z7 and turned off the wireless functions and it made a massive difference!!
Love that format. I felt like we sat together and have a chat. Also you looked very beautiful. Nice hair and make up.
thank you, i felt pretty today
Thank you Chelsea! You confirm what I had experienced with R5. Some issues with focus, like on a flower yesterday. We doesn’t always agree, me and R5. Didn’t yet have had the other problems. And you are so right about no 5. Moore bling, bling. 😁💥👑🎨💎
Thanks for the video, always nice to hear your perspective. I also made the change from Sony to Canon
The 50mm 1.2 is huge compared to the 1.4! We have had the R5 for a few weeks now and I love it! We just got the adapter ordered so we can use the 50mm I'm hoping the image quality is still good!
Whenever Chelsea does a video I feel like she's about to break up with me even though we aren't married, dating or have ever met. LOL 😂
I know that feelin..
😂😂😂😂😂
She does kinda have that "I'm about to break your heart but I'll do it in a soothing way" type of voice. 😂
@@judahtownsend2195 It's the ONE Training that their good at.
@@judahtownsend2195 How's it go? "It's not you... it's me"
To get over a sticky eye AF I find having the AF on button set to eye AF, the AE Lock button set as my normal focusing method (selected using the lens or lens adapter ring) and AF Point Selection button set as spot gives me great flexibility. If I find the eye AF sticking a quick jab on the spot AF (AF Point Selection) on the eye then resume eye AF. Works every time. The eye AF then locks the on to the subject.This set up allows me to shoot one handed as all the controls I need are buttons on the right grip top and right rear of the camera. After trying many differing configurations over the last 6 months it's the one I've settled on. Take 2 SD cards with you Chelsea. They're not expensive.
Never has a single issue after 50,000+ shots on my R5 either on memory card nor Auto Focus - super amazing camera
What brand memory card do you use?
@@smaakjeks Sandisk CFe Pro 256Gb and SONY SD Tough Pro 128Gb
Love it! Flaws will be always in cameras and organization!
I prefer all black camera bodies. I would not give a two-toned camera a second look. I know a lot of people like that vintage look that Leica, Fuji, etc have available (even the Canon M6 Mkii). I can’t stand it though.
I love your honesty about yourself,you make me laugh at times.Thanks for your humor.
When the autofocus gets sticky I like that I can keep my eye on the EVF and then use my thumb to fine-tune the focus spot
Great video Chelsea! You also look outstanding
There is an option to write to both cards in video that no one on UA-cam seems to find. However, it is limited. It forces 8k RAW on the CFe slot and 4K 30 on the SD slot. But yes, it would be better if you were able to select more options.
The camera I just sold, the Fujifilm X-T3 was absolutely beautiful to look at but horribly uncomfortable to use. The Smallrig L bracket with its wooden grip extension helped a lot but not enough. My new R6 might be boring to LOOK at but it sure FEELs good to use. There is a reason the camera is so rounded and that is comfort. The camera isn't the art, the photo is the art. I enjoyed this video and I thought you had great lighting.
Great video. Funy, quirky and informative.
I wonder if the SD card issue has to do with them being initially formatted for another brand camera? I’ve been using my older SD cards that I used on older Canon cameras- careful to format within the R5 before use - with no issues so far.
Your 5th issue can be solved by purchasing some skins for the Canon R5 or most new mirrorless bodies (and some DSLR). There are a few companies out there that sell them. I'd seen a few advertisements on Instagram.
I remember having that freezing issue with certain SD cards in my Panasonic G9 years ago, it was super frustrating, but I finally found cards it liked.
Battery duration: turn off continuous autofocus tracking when you don't need it
Excellent info, thank you!
So happy I found my sweet spot with a cheap last gen Fuji that beautifully renders skin tones and is a great shooting experience.. Super new, expensive, high res beasts fortunately don't tempt.
In regard to the 'boring black' color, I think a gun-metal grey or dual-tone grey & black would be a nice alternative that preserves the pro look while allowing a bit of individuality
I've managed 1,800 shots on 75% battery on my R5, I think that's pretty decent personally, that was over 5 hours of shooting. That is utilising the slower refresh rate viewfinder as well as the power saving options.
Some of those problems are what I would call deal breakers . They need to fix them ASAP. Those are some major problems you mentioned. I’m glad you talked about them. Wow!!!😳
For a c.$3,500 camera these 'lock up' issues are beyond "deal breakers".
I'm about to shell out over 10k on new gear, the R5 was in my sights, but why have a camera that *may* lock-up in (straightforward) use???
Went shooting wildlife with half of a charged battery and was surprised when the battery life wasn’t sufficient…. That one made me smile.
Wow I haven't watched this channel is ages! Several years. I feel so out of touch with photography!! She still looks amazing though, and I still get the calming vibe. Haha. I used to be able to put earphones in and fall asleep to these videos.
HACK YOUR CAMERA FOR ALMOST UNLIMITED RUN TIME. If you get a battery charger with USB-C with PD (Power Direct) you can charge and run the camera off the battery brick. You still must have a canon battery in the camera. USB-C can support up to 100 Watts...but has to be set up for it. Look for USB-C with PD, it has additional circuitry that talks to the cameras power management system to see what it needs. You can shoot with it, the cameras power management board will see the incoming power and can do two things with it, but only one at a time. It can charge the internal battery or it can run the camera. If you turn the camera on with a PD power supply, it will run off the incoming USB-C. When the camera is off, it will charge the internal battery. It is not stated in the manual, you have to read the manual and then read all the USB-C/ Thunderbird tech stuff and figure it out. I use this for astro-photograph with the R5 and it works great. I use a phone battery power brick I got a Target for $60.00, less then a second battery cost. Your car USB is probably max 15 Watts so would only trickle charge the camera with the camera off.
i never take my sd card out of my camera, i just wifi the images then delete and carry on, never formatted a card either, never had a single problem with sandisk
great video Chelsea
I had to smile about your 2nd quirk: the Autofocus. I was shooting gannets and the camera animal eye autofocus decided to lock onto the anal regions of a bird. I kept resetting the focus point, but like a moth to the flame, it went back to the back. I had to speak to the camera severely! It adds a whole new meaning to the concept of shooting the moon... Quirk #3: I use a battery grip and I prefer that for the ergonomics as well as the battery life. Doing some fine tuning of the display settings makes a bit of a difference. Quirk #5: I am happy with black, it makes the camera to look the same as any other camera - ok for some, not so much for others.
As I shoot across a bunch of subjects, I have configurations assigned to C1-3 on the dial. C1 is for animals, C2 is people, C3 is landscape.
Chelsea - I've had SD issues with my Z7 and D850 as well. The 300+ mbps SD cards seem to tank and error for me with fair frequency, but all I have to do is pop it out and back in and it works again.
As for camera appearance, I couldn't agree more. Alphagvrd skins are a good fix, look pretty damn cool, and even protect the camera a bit.
Chelsea, I have the R6. Another work around for that sticky AF is that you can click the joystick in and it'll make it look at picking something closer to the centre frame. If you have an eye near the middle when you do this it's pretty good at resetting and locking onto what you want.
I do also use your Centrepoint AF button trick which is helpful as well
Agree. The center point trick with a second back button focus button she showed a few weeks ago is money!
I have been shooting with the R5 since November and haven't had hte freezing issue. I'm using prograde SD cards, so maybe im lucky or those ones dont cause the problem.
We've had several firmware updates since you recorded this video. Still having the problem with the SD card freezing up the camera?
Chelsea - thanks for bringing up the boring design issue - couldn't agree more with lots of cameras these days.
Hi Chelsea,
I have two main problems
1. weather sealing is not perfect around the viewfinder - I got foggy/humidity in my viewfinder after the light rain or rain with snow. People from Canon told me I'm not first with this problem - there should be the problem with the sealing around the eyecup
2. Eyecup is fixed - I can't use my old raincovers
R5 is one of the best looking mirrorless cameras imo and RF 24-70/2.8 is a total beauty. If you want a rangefinder, go and buy one. I do like M6 II silver too, but those are different cameras for different purposes imo, especially when you need them to combine with certain lenses. 750 shots on a half charged battery is imo quite decent for what the R5 is. As for the AF, we use similar setup - we have initial point for AF set to the middle option, definitely not the Auto, or you have no chance influence, what the camera focuses to. I call it - focus & recompose reborn. Also - we've got AF-ON button set to Eye AF, which works as a backup even in a Single focus AF, * set to Servo on/off and Focus selection set to instant switch between the modes - we use just two - Eye / face tracking and Single point. Works quite well for us.
Curious if the lock-up occurs again once the card has been formatted and re-inserted. presently using only sd cards.
I think different brands of cards probably didn’t help! I know it’s boring, but always format your cards before starting a shoot! A half battery won’t give you as much as half of a full battery! Power output decreases at a faster rate when battery is low, so once it’s started to get low it gets lower faster! Love the hair style by the way! Martyn
I can listen to Chelsea all day.
Hey Chelsea, what brand of camera strap do you have attached to your Canon R5? It appears to be a quick release leather strap, something I've been looking for...
What camera strap are you using? It's really nice from what little I could see.
I DO appreciate the visually pleasing...however, when I'm taking pictures, I want to be as unobtrusive as possible. I literally want to disappear into the woodwork...along with my camera. Just one man's POV. Thanks for your insights!
Beyond first world problems! It's black, I need to carry a spare battery and it only shoots video continuously for 30 minutes!
Thanks for this ☝️! Always like to hear your opinion
In regards to battery life, it is heavily dependant on settings. I found out with my previous cameras, the canon M6 / M6 Mark II, I could get over 2000 images with a manual focus lens. There was a feature with AF lenses, I like a lot, but drained the battery quite fast and this is "Continues AF". This feature is in general great, but it will move your lenses a lot. Another feature is the power saving function. If you don't mind a minor inconvinience, just put it to the lowest settings. Just one more thing to remember with low power saving settings, restore them to a good duration, when you're trying to get images of your camera. Otherwise you'll end up with a camera shut down during an image transfer.
Great review.
Hey Chelsea, enjoyed. What did you shoot this on? The quality is stellar!
One of the reasons I bought a low end Olympus OM-D EM-10 Mark IIIs (S for Silver) is the beauty of the thing. I agree, I like to hold a camera that I like to look at.
I want whatever camera and lens used to film this video! What’s the combo? Pretty please....
In muy use i found that the camera and lens stabilizer engage every time you press a button, ANY BUTTON, not only the shutter or focus buttons (that’s when it should engage, only). Also the lack of wb, iso, metering mode/white balance buttons, the lack of gps, etc are things I missed a lot. After using the R5 I decided to buy a 5d iv. I miss the higher resolution but for the rest I’m quite happy with it.
@Chelsea, I feel the battery life issues are from poor software/OS implementations. I’m coming from a 5dm4 and use super-tele primes for wildlife and BIF, so my observations are relative to my 5dm4. I’ve seen some of these mentioned on online forums, but not a whole lot.
I feel the IS(and IBIS) software implementation is poor. The camera is continuously running both body and lens stabilization, when I’m not ready or waiting to take pictures...and even when I put the camera down. This is probably using up a lot of battery. They should have implemented something similar to DSLRs. On the 5dm4, IS only comes on when I’m metering, and IS stops a couple of seconds after metering stops.
Also, when I’m walking around with the gear, most of the time, the power-saving timers don’t seem to work. Maybe the evf sensors is getting triggered....I haven’t been able to nail down the cause yet. Soooo......I’m walking around, for a couple of hours in woodlands looking for birds, with the screens and IS+IBIS running the whole time (plus the IS rattle....uggghh). It doesn’t make sense. I had to dedicate the light bulb button to “display off” to put the camera to sleep, and remember to press it when I’m done shooting.
Also also, they should’ve implemented an option in “screen/viewfinder display” to mimic a DSLR. Meaning an option, “evf for shooting only and screen for image review only”. And if you turn off image review time, the screen would be always be off, until I press the playback button. This is how I have the 5dm4 setup, which saves a ton of battery because the back screen is off, almost all of the time (I don’t use Q menus).
The software/OS/UI implementation is, in some cases, so different from my DSLR, which I’m guessing is geared towards “videographicists”.
On memory cards, look into the boot/wake time variation from card to card. Some cards take longer to boot/wake. Since you are using both card slots, maybe disparities in the boot/wake times are causing the crashes. Maybe try a bunch of cards individually, write down the boot/wake times, then use the two cards with the largest time difference, and see if you can recreate the problems. I have a suspicion it has something to do with the times.
Overall, the r5 is an epic camera, mostly due to the AF and 20fps. Would’ve needed a lot of luck on my 5dm4 to match shots from the r5. Having said that, I prefer my 5dm4 for the ergonomics, feel, OS, and general usability over the r5. 5dm4 body with an r5 sensor......one can only dream.
I agree whole heartedly about not being able to record video to both cards at once. I can understand why it may not be possible for 8k or HQ 4k video, but they should at least make it possible for straight 4k or even 1080.
So HELPFUL! I think I'll get a camera strap with pockets for EXTRA BATTERIES. I can't ever remember which pocket I put what in my bag.
Tamrac makes a strap with card pockets.
Hi Chelsea, Loving your videos. I am a professional bird photographer and my previous gear was Canon 5d MKIV with a Canon 600mm f4 II lens and getting awesome shots. I have bought the R5 and using the same lens. As per your Flaw no.2, I am finding that when the eye detection locks on it is awesome but many times it has let me down by not even finding the bird, even large birds. I too have set two back functions to have one normal focus and one eye detection and tracking but I still find that it doesn't find even large birds at a distance that the 5D IV would have latched straight onto. Any clues on getting around this problem anybody?
i had that same SD card problem with a used T3i i had gotten. Is this a common canon problem? I got tired of dealing with it and sold it back to KEH (where i purchased it). Never had this problem with my Nikons so I'll just keep using those...
I use SanDisk Extreme Pro 300mb/s 128gb SD cards. I always format not erase images after importing them to my PC. After 3000 shot not issues. Agree on using back buttons to toggle off eye af for wildlife that is in trees or difficult backgrounds. The Old Sigma 150-600 C does not focus well and after 800 shots with different settings on 23 were keepers. Love the focus and detail images from the rf 24-70 2.8.
With the exception of the remote port on the front of the camera, I find the design of the R5 quite appealing. I like the Fujis too but I wouldn’t want that design language applied to the R5.
Hi there. I just got R5 a couple of days ago. I wonder how can I import clog video or high quality video to my iPad.
I have R5 and R6 since October 2020 and I slaughtered them to test them. Ceremonies, glamorous shots and sports. I must say that in terms of cards I have never had problems, both Cfexpress and SD with brands like Lexar and Manfrotto. Any canon in the last 20 years has never given me problems reading the cards and formatting them in the room, without going to remove and put back in another room. Do we know how to use the menus? AF is great and with the life of the new LP-E6NH battery I got up to 3450 shots per burst on two occasions. I believe your battery still needs to have full charge cycles to work well, otherwise you have to change it.
Did the firmware update for Canon R5 fix any problems that you seen with this canon? thanks
Do you have a L-bracket that is nice to hold but still allows full use of the flip screen?
Lucky camera strap?! Damn, now I am sold!
This is interesting cause I’ve never had that issue with the memory cards. It might be because you swap the card between different camera brand bodies
IT could be her camera, I have not read anything about that, but I can't believe Chelsea will mention it without researching and learning that it's something that is "real"
Even if that is true it shouldn't happen. They are switching cameras between different camera brand bodies all the time for years now.
This used to happen commonly on point 'n' shoot cameras. If you took a card out of one camera and put it in another, without formatting first. I think the issue then was something to do with how different cameras indexed their images. The second camera knew there were files (images) on the card, but didn't know how to address/access them.
I had a camera whose handbook actually said SD cards must be formatted if containing images from a different camera.
Correct. I believe it was SanDisk on A TWiP episode that discussed this and said swapping memory cards without formatting is not advised
@@jaimeduncan6167 LOL ..
Our most favorite Valued Chelsea is beginning to get a little THICK.. :( We Fans Need to hook her Up with with Marie Osmond's Nutrisystem :-) xoxoxo
Hi Chelsea. What type of camera strap are you using on your camera. It looks 😎. Thanks!
Have you had the same issue with other brand SD cards? We have an r5 for our wedding shoots and haven’t had a problem but we also haven’t had as long. I don’t use Sony or toshiba cards so I was curious if manufacturers had a part in it
I've been using a Sandisk card with my R5 which I had for couple months now and so far no problems.
Hey, thanks for the info on the memory cards. That was a bit of a shocker. I normally (but probably not always) format my cards when I put them in the camera, and so I have not had that problem, but thanks for the tip.
The look of the camera? I use my camera and don't look at it. Battery life quirk is a bit stretch. Even though your battery can last long, the best practice is to carry extras. Find me a serious photographer who only carries one battery. Nice video though.
I had the issue a few times with the R5 freezing on me when i used the SD card. In my case taking the battery out to restart the camera was sufficient without having to reformat. Another issue that i have found is the camera slowing down and not tracking AF as well if the battery are at less than 50% power going from around 12 frames per second to about 5 or 6 frames per second.
This should be pinned . Thank you for pointing it out.
An algebraic equation: Chelsea = beautiful + intelligent + talented = Tony is one lucky dude ; )
Are you two ever going to resume the "Tony & Chelsea Live" episodes where you review photos from the audience? Last ep was back in January.
Me again. Re: focus tracking. Go to AF menu 3 and select Case 2. Then, set the sliders on the bottom of that screen to Tracking sensitivity all the way left and Accel/decel all the way to the right. Also make sure you have selected Servo AF. I have tried many variants of this on my R7 and this one seems to be most sticky. I'm hoping these will work as well on my new R5.
Hello I am being to buy the R5 within ext days, are you happy?
Good luck. You will love the R5.
When I was deciding which system I wanted to upgrade into (from some 15-year-old gear), I described Canon's design language as "terminally boring" to a friend. Fuji has gorgeous retro styling, and Sony even has a very crisp modern take. I still went with Canon, and at least the bodies are the most comfortable to hold!
dont you guys find the files pushed towards reds/magenta? whats your view on it?
i want sony size and quality performign lenses on canon r bodies with sony battery life. is it too much to ask for? its really duable, cause the companies did it seperately,why they cant to it in on? :D
As recommended by the manufacturers, I format my memory cards every single time I put them into a camera-Canons, Nikons, Panasonics, Sonys. I've never had a camera seize up at all in more than 25 years shooting, whether from lens issues or memory card issues. Maybe you should plan to format your cards with each insertion as well? Battery life? R5+2 batteries in the vertical grip, 50-54 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature, Servo AF for every shot, I took 996 photos over the course of 5.5 hours (switching the camera off between uses) with 62% charge remaining on battery 1 (the new battery) and 58% on battery 2 (the battery that came with the EOS R). Virtually no chimping.
Has anyone noticed a burning smell when you use the older batteries (ie LP-E6)? This has occurred with my EOS R6...
Wow. I was going to get a R5 since they price the A1 outside of my budget. Back to the drawing board, thank you. 👍👍👍
R5 is a real camera for real photographers and Sony cameras are for Tony and Fanboys😂😂If you want to shoot brickwalls, cats, endless pixel peeping syndrome, get A1 otherwise R5 is just awesome

Maybe add this to your flaw list! I bought the R5 yesterday. Got it set up and tried it out today on some sea gulls. Main issue is the start up lag time of the electronic viewfinder. What I mean is when you quickly raise the camera to shoot something, there is such a delay in the viewfinder coming to life that you miss the shot. So, let's say you're shooting sports and moving to another spot or just not much happening in front of you. Then you see something about to come into play. You quickly raise the camera to your eye and all you see is black for a split second until it lights up. But in that split second, you missed the shot. In shooting my 1DX or any DSLR, this is never a problem. Very frustrating. It doesn't look like you can keep the viewfinder on either. Not that I would want to because of battery drain. Now what? I also noticed the issue right away with the eye focus and set up two back buttons. Great video! Thank You! BTW, you are so adorable!
