With the introduction of the Canon EOS R1 and R5 Mark II that both have the digic accelerator processor, Canon's Auto Focus is the best in the industry. I know some people will say, "how can you make such claims?". Simple, I've used every single camera Canon, Nikon and Sony have put out in the last decade. I've used them all in the real world from World Series's to photographing friends and family, I know.
Canon's Dual Pixel AF was already the best in the industry, with Sony's a9 III being the closest to matching AF quality. Now with the two new cameras, Canon has gone beyond what Nikon or Sony has done in the AF world. Once again, let me reiterate, ALL Mirrorless Cameras have better auto focus then their DSLR predecessor.
This video takes you inside the R1 and R5 Mark II to see the Auto Focus in action.

As a Nikon Z9 owner I have to say that this Canon autofocus tech is astounding! That also said, I am over the moon happy with my Z9 autofocus. I kinda feel like I have a 2020 sports car and the new R1/R5 is a 2025 sports cars. Both are awesome.
Nikon is closer to a 2022 car. And it’s a playing a different game AND is cheaper than the R1. No worries ;)
Just imagine Nikon's next flagship duo. The Z9 is already three years old and the Z8 although it came out later is basically a little Z9 so nothing new in comparison. You can bet your bottom dollar that development is already under way for a ZX and something like a Z8 II, they might even scrap what they've developed so far & go back to the drawing board after seeing Canons new system. But either way 2026 Nikon cameras will take the lead again.
@@bestbass42 Yep! Add some Red tech in there and it could be a killer camera. I’m also convinced that they’ll develop and release a camera that’s optimized for sports. To me that makes perfect sense.
@@bestbass42 ...and most photographer's skills will still suck. :-(
Looks excellent. Still no 3rd party FF? I'm good .
I thought you were capping but the video proves it. This is incredible.
it proved nothing. I can get the same results with lower end models period when pointing your camera at one person wiht their faces in focus.
@@harryvuemedia5106 salty because you can't afford it.
I pointed my Z9 at this youtube video and it tracks Jared eyes all the time... that is good enough for me.
but is it in focus?
@@froknowsphotohahaha good point 😂
😂
Great job
Oh, so the Z9 is just as good as my vintage sony rx100. No need to upgrade just yet, me thinks ;)
The EyeAF (not Eye Control AF!) instantly jumping between the correct person playing is just magic....
It is not the EyeAF.
In this video. There's nothing involve with EyeAF.
The Eye-AF doesn't work for everyone, just a fact. It hasn't work for me as I scan the scene for other compositions and possible subjects, and it didn't work for Jordan of PetaPixel either. That is why other camera makers have not even bothered to try and copy this from Canon. As an award-winning pro photojournalist, I will not be trusting a crucial shot to the eye control. Cheers
@@nimbuskhannk627 It is. I'm not talking about Eye Control AF.
@@pingbookent yes there is. I'm not talking about Eye Control AF.
The continual tech advances happening in the camera and lens world is crazy exciting. Compared to back in the days of shooting a Nikon F4 and F5, todays cameras are absolutely amazing!
you have 50k to spend on cameras and lenses do you?.
@@MrBennyrick77 Hey dude, no need in being salty. It's not my fault you can't afford nice camera gear. Should have saved your allowance ;)
Been waiting a looooong time for Canon to take the next step forward from Dual Pixel autofocus. Great to see their tech pushing forward and I’m excited to see the rest of the manufacturers answer the call!
Thanks Dude. I had almost convinced myself that I didn't need to upgrade my R5 before I saw this. That was very impressive.
I love my R5M1. I don't see too much of a reason to buy/upgrade to the new R5 but I am impressed with the evolution of the autofocus tech, and you're right. All this new autofocus technology will allow the professional photographer to capture those shots that prior they would have missed. Excellent video.
Think twice:
1/32000s shutter
Stacked CMOS
Improved AF (R5M1 is already awesome)
Eye-controlled AF
Pre-capture
30 fps
Still missing (not entirely sure, come on Canon its not rocket science):
M mode 900s shutter
Exposure Compensation +- 5EV
Shutter sound during electronic shutter
5s self timer
Instant shutter close on power off
a wise Jared Polin said once: if you can´t get the photo with any moderm mirroless, the camera isn´t the problem, I agree with my A7III that has never failed me
Well you are never challenging yourself nor the Camera then.
@@natureredux1957how do you know he is never challenging himself…maybe he is just better than you and doesn’t rely on tech as much…if his/her clients are happy, then stay in your lane and let people master what they have. I think this focus system looks outstanding but I think that all of the systems are pretty amazing right now. None of it matters though if you don’t know your craft. I will take knowledge of my craft any day over tech…anticipation and mastery of lighting plus the ability to work with people far outweighs all this tech because tech doesn’t help you when your pictures lack soul because you don’t engage emotionally…of course, this depends on what you shoot
@@marcusalanphotography694 Well here's the problem first you clearly did not read his comment. He quoted if "YOU" meaning everyone can't get the photo then the camera is not the problem. So how about you stay in your lane. And why does he not also quote Jared stating how new tech can get everyone photos that was not possible before. You folks want to have your Cake and EAT it also.
Canon's New AF isn't impressive at all. I don't see any new evolution that makes me go "WOW!" like everyone said it does. In this video, Jared was only capturing 1 person at a time that was running up or down. I want to see REAL WORLD USE with it like the examples I mentioned in my post about autofocus.
How is canon's new AF so much better than Nikon and Sony right now? The video didn't prove much to me at all.
@@harryvuemedia5106As a Z9 and Z8 owner I can tell you they would not cope anywhere near as well in that basketball game. Not to say you couldn't get a lot of good shots, but it would take a very customised setup and you're still going to miss a heap by comparison.
So there's that....
No lie, if you're a sports photographer the R1 looks pretty amazing.
As a Z8 owner that Canon autofocus is outstanding. I have to say though, the Z8 blows me away.
that's all that matters.
@@froknowsphoto I am a Canon fan and used to shoot a pair of EOS1’s for weddings at the beginning of the century. I am a total Nikon convert now, but nobody can argue with your assumptions about this autofocus performance. Best in class. Thank you.
What i find great avout this is that one can choose Nikon or Canon and be greeted by a tremendously robust system. This is a great time for photography and marks another leap forward in capability
@@axelfiraxa Indeed. I have achieved shots with the Z8 that I have never been able to achieve, in 36yrs of photography. The R5ii is an autofocus powerhouse and no amount of firmware from the rest will come close to it. But there is - a kind of magic to the Z8.
@@300ShadesofGreen❤
This is the best explanation I've seen so far of the new AF system. Until seeing this, I was a bit lukewarm about both of these cameras. For motorsports, the pre-capture combined with subject tracking would be amazing.
for motorsports this is a win.
(lack of good) auto focus is the primary reason I miss great wildlife and sports shots. When every camera is doing 20+ FPS with nearly unnoticeable read out differences, auto focus is always going to be what draws me to a camera
Spot on! Same here. All this talk about sensor resolution and rolling shutter is moot if the subject not in focus!
I've gone from using a Lumix G9 to a G9ii and the difference is bigger than anything I've ever used in my life. It's night and day
I hope Fuji engineers will not watch this, it would be very painful!
Straight to the point with what we want to see, real examples of how the new tech works while giving us all great advice. Love your work.
For sports shooters, this is a really impressive and convincing performance. It also shows that Jared is a regular sports shooter and knows what he’s doing. But, I think you should be clear that this is only focusing on AF for high speed sports. Would love to see future comparisons for wildlife and other types of photography before declaring that this new system has the “best” overall AF
Good point, I also base this off of me using the R3 in Kenya on safari, taking 18,000 photos and have maybe 7 where the focus shifted to a background. Everything else was spot on time and time again. That was the R3, this is even better.
@@froknowsphoto20000 pics in my Z9 in Svalvard. All in focus. Is the Photographer, not the system
@@froknowsphoto please do a test with the a9 in multiple scenarios
@marknoll8052 that's what i've been saying too. Seems like everyone here are quick to shoot me down but no one is willing to show videos of Canon's new AF working out in general photography. From wildlife to weddings to graduations to speeches and to candid moments, how well does it do?
Autofocus is subjective and Canon's new AF is not the best overall. With Sony's A.I. Autofocus, say I want the AF to focus on cars, it will do that. Say i want AF to focus on animals, it will do just that. And event then I still have to switch between 3x focus modes from Wide, Brackets and Center to focus on certain objects or subjects.
People always talk about sports AF but never general photography.
@@harryvuemedia5106 I shoot weddings and events with an A1 but to be honest my A9 MKI never let me down when it comes to AF. I also owned a A7IV for a year and that too never let me down. The AF on all Sony and Canon cameras is way better than anything I will ever need for what I shoot. I would never choose a Canon because I HATE flip out scenes with a passion. The screen on my A1 is crap but I still prefer it to any flip out screen.
The Action Priority alone, in my world, is worth the price of the R5II. You are the only one so far to say that the latest Canon AF is the best in the history of AF. I already have one R5 which is still a great camera. I pre-ordered R5II to get second body. No brainer to me.
I Watched your other two videos about the R1 and R5, amazing how Canon haven't really bigged up this AF system, its going to end up being the big selling point.
Its will be interesting how many sports shooters choose the R5II over the R1, Same AF but way more MP
This is actually amazing tech and I love seeing what’s new, explained so clearly. I am miles away from needing this tech so breath a sigh of relief that the credit card can relax, in truth I could get my street and hiking shots with an R100 😀
Jared, you have done an excellent job of putting this new Canon autofocus system to the test. I am stunned by its performance. As a Nikon user, I envy it. I hope Nikon comes out with something like this in their next camera.
thanks
And they will AF is not everything in photography.
@@felm.974 AF and dynamic range are the most important things. The z9 and z8 are not only behind in AF, but also their dynamic range is about 1-2 stops worse than the equivalent Canon and Sony. Even the new z6III is noticeable worse for AF than the R6 II. A friend of mine has both but returned the Nikon because the AF was a step back and he couldn't really trust it.
That's ok, he's entitled to his opinion, and I'm entitled to mine, I haven't had any issues focusing with my Z8 or any issues with dynamic range... I can tell a lot of you guys watch more UA-cam and listen and trust everything these "experts" have to say... Anyway, Nikon already has great AF and for him to say he can't trust it is ridiculous. @@77dris
@@77dris what a lie, the dynamic range is not 1-2 stops worse. You really like making up lies all over youtube. Jared actually tested the Z6iii dynamic range and it has cleaner shadows than the r6ii lol. No, your friend did not have the z6iii. The AF is great, maybe not exceptional but still great and it can be trusted for sports, weddings, etc. There are many professionals using Z9,Z8,Z6iii for professional work unlike you who only trolls on youtube and make up lies.
This auto focusing tech is so good it’s wild how far we’ve come over the years!
Jared, how work de R5MKII with autofocus and birds? Do you test that too or will you test it?
Cant wait to get this tech in an R7 mkii
I agree with wildlife photography, the trickledown of this tech for the r7mk2 would be refreshing
That and being able to use a battery grip.
Yeah, unfortunately Canon is very likely to pair it with a dim low res muddy EVF. If they gave you the EVF as well, and a pro build, then I would happily pay $2500 for it (if I shot Canon...). But what are the chances that they do something great like that....?
Add to that cross type focus points from the R1. Come on Canon, revive the 7D line properly with the R7ii
You're right, I hope the best.
You're the first reviewer I've seen to point out the Wow factor in these new cameras. Everyone else seems slightly disappointed. I'd very much like to see this AF in a substantially upgraded R7. What do you think the future of the R3 will be?
R3 discontinued to protect R1 sales.
These days it is so hard to stay honest and express your opinions. I agree even though I am in Sony for the time being, Canon has forged ahead, and continue to do so. For what you do Canon is the better choice. I am always 5 years behind, so you can imagine how happy I will be whatever the brand I update to, even knowing Canon is the best.
Any changes for wildlife that you see coming with this new system? Thanks.
I'm curious too!!
You work very consistently. I respect you.
JP kickass!!
AF photography, finally a genre you can be better depending on the gear
Af recording genre on UA-cam. Crazy how there videos where all it is, is showing af tracking.
Finally a genre that will enhance the pay-to-perform ratio even further?
I mean let's be real, these bodies are insanely expensive
The RF 400mm 2.8 and 600 4 come with dual AF motors but the R5 mk i only has enough battery to power one of the motors. The R3 does have the power to utilize both motors so my questions are: does the R5 mk ii have the power to use both motors and when you compare AF speed using these lenses is the R3 noticeably faster then the R5 mk i?
Isn't the battery(LP-E6P) in the R5 Mk2 uprated compared to previous version(LP-E6NH), but in the same package?
So, the system tracks ball sports at the moment, are we to assume that future updates will provide AI assistence for other sports (non-ball sports), or things like animals ? (or is that something already in there thats just not discussed yet since the emphasis in lots of reviews is sport focused...?)
I normally skip any in-video ad content, but that B&H credit card offer actually looks pretty good, and I've purchased plenty of camera gear from B&H in the past.
I'm rarely a store card person, but I got this for my R6II purchase and saved a good bit, and have used it on some other purchases since. As with any CC though, please treat it like cash and pay it off immediately every time.
Yeah, I don't carry a balance with any credit card. The offer is lucrative enough that I'm guessing the bank supplying the card is gambling that enough customers will pay interest that it will make up for the losses from those of us who don't.
Ya know what, I've been looking to upgrade from my 90D, I think it's time to pull the trigger and get an R5 Mk.2. The autofocus isn't like bad on the 90D, but this makes it look like I'm in the stoneage.
Same position. But I’m most likely going to Nikon Z8. Especially with the sale (that ends today I believe) I can get a lens + body for a great price.
Yea I went to Sony from my 90d.. I’m impressed! Lol
@@MaybeAnnatar IBIS really raises your keeper rates with mirrorless bodies!
Truly next level. Cant wait to see how it tracks birds and other wildlife. Probably not as easy for AF to track birds compared to humans but we'll see. This looks very promising. Hopefully I dont have to wait months to get the R5 II lol. Only gripe I have with it, based on specs is that the low quality 4k 60fps video.
Why is the 4k 60 low quality? Haven’t heard that part yet.
@@chrismostek
Because it's not oversampled.
My Z8 is "good enough" for me.... may not have the fastest AF, but then again, no need to upgrade to anything either (haven't even maxed out the camera at all and probably never will - just bought it so I could have a capable camera for the long haul -- the next 4-5+ years). That being said, I'd rather spend the money I DON'T spend on gear, on trips or vacations.... being a non-pro two camera bodies and a handful of quality zooms is enough for me (and this took me a few years and thousands of dollars to figure out sadly).
But to be honest, I'm actually happy that I've come to that realization that I don't need the latest gear. It allows me to focus on more important things, and gear isn't one of them.
z8 isn't cheap and the af system is another generation behind canon and sony if u r ok then it's alright
You don't need to justify anything to we all strangers. Sounds like you feel judged for not having the latest gear.
@@kevc.2958I’m ok with it, canon lenses , video and files are behind Nikon, and Nikons auto focus is more than good enough. It’s all in what you value.
@@kevc.2958 I think this is an overstatement. If you rate canons current af tech at 10/10 then nikon is 8/10 at the lowest. Both are excellent and more than enough for 90% of people. In reality only people who will actually notice different are people who shoot sports professionally, but even then from what I seen nikons af is behaving excellent.
@@kevc.2958 It's not really behind Sony. It doesn't have the same levels of the ai tracking, but the speed is about the same. Which is still fantastic. And this new tracking from Canon will probably only really benefit sports photographer. Because at this point speed is lighting fast on all systems not named Fuji.
Ok, Jared, you convinced me already after the first minute 😂 I am gonna order the R5 II in some months.
Same lol
Wow, thats insane. I was dreaming about it at my wedding I shot today, but this is outstanding!!
Maybe they’ll have bride and groom detection in the next iteration 😂😍
They all ready do just register the face
You can set which faces you want it to focus on the most
Great video, just curious, what lense were you usi g?
Does the Canon subject af work with animals, like could I use a specific species of bird
Wow this was mind blowing didn't even think it could be possible to track this good.
I remember watching your videos back in the 2010 when i was getting into photography. Glad to see you are still making content!
Same! I started in 2005. Fro and Manny are my 2 favourite photo youtubers... in fact they are really the only ones I can watch as most of the others are kind of cringe
Anyone else does the “Fro knows fotoooah” at the end of the intro with Jared ?😂😂😂😂
Seems like the R1 was built perfectly for the buyer it was intended for. Sports photographers. The r5 II was built more for people like myself who does weddings and family portraits, etc. I don’t understand people threatening to jump ship because of Megapixels. Canon’s glass is superior and color is unmatched. Trust me I’ve tried Sony and Nikon.
Yess!! ❤❤❤❤
Once upon a time, canon had the best glasses, Nikon's S Line series now, if you eat them for breakfast😂
I have the R5 and R3 so have both. I still prefer to photograph my weddings with the R3, and no problems with MP for quality images with good RF glass.
You had me till the glass LOL, they are in third place with their glass…
The best glass? Really? Nikon súper zoom are the best. Nothing on Canon win this glasses.
I have been wondering about this: Can I use a combination of autofocus techniques? For example: Can I use the eye control in combination to eye detection: I choose the person I want the focus on with my eye ball, and the camera does the fine adjustment by automatically focusing on this person‘s eye?
It’s not about who did it first but rather who does it better.
The R1 it’s making me want to be a sport shooter just impressive. 💯💥
Absolutely astonishing. Once this technology arrives on the R6 Mark III, I will be buying it!
Do you think it's best ever for all situations or just ball sports? I need an improvement from the current R5 for fast moving kids shooting family documentary.
How close is the AF on the R5 II compared to the R1?
Wow. Jared did you happen to see what the action priority menu looked like for animals? Is there one? This is pretty amazing tech. I can't wait to grab a new R5 Mk2 (although I think I'm going to have to).
Are you able to use the 2 stage autofocus button to switch between "old-school" and intelligent autofocus modes?
I wonder if the R5mk2 specifically is a bit faster and/or more accurate than the R1. Would the larger MP sensor mean it can more easily and quickly "see" and react to details in the scene than the smaller 24MP sensor of the R1?
10:57 the dude is even travelling with the ball
Todays generation 😅
I've shot tens of thousands of photos on my Z9 and it's AF is good, very good. On the basis of this montage I'll admit my Z9 couldn't match the tracking shown here via the R1. Now the caveat to that is that whilst the Z9 doesn't appear to look as sticky ( the AF eye box is less fluid giving the impression that it is missing focus ) the reality is that on critical viewing later the Z9 nails it most of the time. It's important to realise that just because the little AF box sticks like glue that doesn't necessarily mean the finished photo is in focus. Assuming the R1 is getting pretty much 100% pin sharp focus then without a doubt I'll concede that Canons latest AF is superior to both Sony and Canon.😉
Video thật hữu ích, canon R1, R3,R5 đều là những máy ảnh tuyệt vời. Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video!
Great review sir Jared 👏🏼
Did you tried does the AF work as good when taking video?
I wonder what kind of shots you would get doing basketball with the 135 1.8 or the 85 1.2
Most of the basketball scenes here were shot with the 85 1.2 at 1.2. I wanted to really push it to its limits, If it can hit at 1.2, it can hit at anything.
Best autofocus forever !!! Canon Great Job !!
BTW, the reason I' asking is that I got another lens this past week. A 18 to 200 mm zoom F4.6 to F6.0. I tested it out yesterday at a local farmers' market event. Liked the versatility of wide angle to zoom settings. A bright partly cloudy day nade for a nearly perfect light scene.
Jared, I think you highlighted this brilliantly. That said, many of us would be interested to know what the auto focused compared to the Sony camera is like when you’re not tracking sports with a ball. This is the 90% of us.
Ive the R1 preordered how did u find the settings easy to navigate? really looking forward to the auto focus that you described
I have no idea how this would work for (American gridiron) football because the emphasis isn't always on the person who has the ball. I would hope that these sports priority modes can be one-button overridden in the same sense that my current sports settings I use the main backside AF button for center spot focus but then override the exposure lock button for Eye AF allowing me to switch back and forth from "focus where I'm pointing" and "Find and focus on the eyes" just by moving my thumb 1/3 of an inch.
Thanks, Jared, for showing the tech whilst others just make massive assumptions without evening touching the camera. I shoot both Nikon and Canon different horses for courses, but for sure, it looks like the R1 is the best kit for sports with that AF tech. Mind blowing.
If I were a sports or events shooter this camera would be a no-brainer. But for what I do (wildlife) I'm pretty happy with my R7/100-500L
I am an amateur who shoots a 5D Mark III and 5D SR. Like so many others, I have a fortune tied up in Canon EF L lenses. What are your thoughts about attaching EF L lenses with the Canon adapter to the R5 II? Do you think that there will be a loss of autofocus speed and other R5 II functionality?
I think it's lens dependent. Christopher Frost has tested many EF lenses adapted on R bodies and the autofocus is quite good most times
Please do a comparison video of the R5 and R5 II because a lot of us really want to know if it’s worth the upgrade. You keep saying better and best but in what way. Keeper rates, loss of focus rates, loss of tracking, focus on back lit subjects that kind of thing.
excellent video Jared...my only issue is the rolling shutter distortion with the r5 mk2. Hosw does it compare to the r3 and r1?
Is the AF also better in reference to taking photos of birds?!?
Jared, would like to know how the battery life was on both cameras during your preview shoots, and how do you think they would hold up? Also did you have the battery grip on the R5 Mk II? Thanks
Did you get the chance to test the AF in any of the video modes? If so, how does it compare with the system on the Z8/Z9 and A9 III?
Hi Jared, again yoú just blew my mind with this video. In just the few hours you had with these cameras, you are able to make the footage for such a incredible clear video. Chapeau!
How does the lack of cross-type AF sensors affect the R5 MkII ?
The payboo cart is great but I also applied on the website and had to wait 2 weeks for a letter that said to CALL a number to apply for the card and then had to wait for the card to come. Took about a month, only credit card that took that long.
Same, I always maintain 800+ credit score and it took forever to get the payboo card. But now that I have it, gotta love saving the tax $$.
that's super odd, I signed up on the same site as everyone else and was approved in minutes. Waiting totally sucks.
Even though I, a happy Z8 owner, have been called a Canon fanboy for saying so in another video's comment section, this stuff looks truly impressive, and I think from a technical standpoint, it's very interesting. If I was a professional sports photographer, I'd absolutely be getting one of the new cameras.
I am a professional photographer but I would still prefer the Z8 or my A1 for one silly reason. I can not stand flip out screens. Had one on a Sony A7IV and hated it
@@nickwilliams7867 I also definitely prefer the type of screen on the Z8, hope they don't go flip-screen with the Z9/Z8 II.
The Nikon Z8 has better build quality and feel... Canon feels like a plastic brick.
@@kahvac isn't the R5 made from magnesium?
@@cy9nvs Yes it is ! ... Still feels like plastic when compared to a Nikon go figure.
that said , I noticed the extreme high ISO on R1 ... WOW !!! That is the same as the Sony A7S, A7S2, A7S3, the Kings of low light. ( not counting Canon's ME20F-SHN of course ) . Pretty much love it. I shoot northern lights realtime video with A7S, A7S2 usually at ISO 40.000 with lenses f/1.4 or faster, but on R6, R8 video it's max 25600 and already more noise than A7S at 40.000 ... so now I'm very curious to see how nigthsky / aurora video at 40-80.000 ISO will look like on R1 with my RF lenses at f/0.95 , or with f/1.4 lens plus speedbooster... IF noise level is same as on A7S when shooting video at ISO 40.000 then it will be a winner . Love Canon's colours over Sony ( too much green ) ... also remarkable they do the same max ISO on R1 as on A7S despite 24MP vs 12MP.
Hi Jared. Thanks for this video. I am a wildlife as well as aviation photographer....I love the new sticky autofocus from Canon. I am worried about the rolling shutter on the wings of smaller birds as well as the props of prop planes though. I lost half the photos of a display at a air show because of the bend props which was very dissapointing to be honest. how much better is the readout speed and by when will you be able to confirm that its good enough for my kind of work? thanks
How much better is the R1 AF compared to the R3?
Take it from a pro. The adjusted volume on your fro looks good on you as well.
Either way looks good !
does it show over heating on the display as one of the clips looks like it had a temp meter? legend as always thank you for sharing this.
Thanks great info great vidio you always do a excellent job
I wish the R5ii had the cross af thing from the r1. R1 af looks next level.
A question about the pre-capture feature. I understand that it captures half-second of frames at the current burst rate when you push the shutter half-way, and when you push the shutter all the way it commits those to memory and then continues to capture sequential frames as long as you keep the shitter depressed. My questions: 1) If you do not press the shutter all the way but instead let it back up, are those frames lost or are they permanently stored?, and 2) Is there a limit (other than buffer capacity) on how long you can continue to capture images once you fully depress the shutter? I am planning on trading my OM1 for a new R5II and want to understand the differences. Thank you.
I know that the new A1 firmware cannot do this. The development has regressed back to focusing on the old A9. It drops the subject.
Any idea if it's as good in video as it is with stills?
Cant wait to put the R5II to the test for birding with long lenses.
A few months ago Nikon Inc said they were going to use AI in their cameras and since the Z9 is approaching four years I'm sure you see that tech in the next version, next year. I don't switch camera manufacturers because they may have a better autofocus any particular year. Like the last decade I didn't find any manufacture on the top (2 or three) had an advantage for very long. Lenses are more important and Nikon seems to have that right now with the long primes.
Bingo! Well said!
I will not swap my Nikon Z9 for Canon , I am so happy with my camera and NIkon has also amazing lenses
@@Bikerbeest indeed, and colors... some of these people think photography is just "perfect" AF lol .... Nikon will match what they are doing very soon, and after that, they will look for more things to bash Nikon about.
@@alphajam1 I have 2 long prime lenses from Nikon , Z 400 mm F4.5 and the 800 mm F 6.3 and both are amazing
@@Bikerbeest They are great, Nikon has a lot of great options in this department. I have shot a lot of sports in dark rinks, used Canon and Nikon DSLRs. They are both great cameras. I always preferred Nikon lenses. I practice with a dog in the back yard with the Z9, I tested it when I first got it, with a black dog running towards me and I was amazed with the autofocus and it sold me. The dog that I test the focus on is black with black eyes with fur partially blocking them. I'm amazed how in tight zoom it locks right on the eye. So I'm impressed with the Z9 and the new S class telephotos and zooms. The new 24-70 is much better than the previous f mount version. With the DSLRs it was challenging getting the dog in focus consistently. $5400 well spent.
The eye control is kind of a pain in the ass on the R52. It doesn’t follow my eye very well. I calibrated it and refined it at least 4 times. Maybe I’m missing something 🤷♂️
This is really saying something. R6II was already really really good and if its a step up from that im impressed.
Thank you for thoughts on the new AF features 👍 But do they also work in video mode while filming? e.g.
- Eye steered AF? (changing the focus area with your eye)
- Action priority? (filming a soccer game and the focus switches to the ball handling player)
- VIP priority? (saving your talents faces prior to shooting and focusing on them in a crowd)
No, these are all Stills-only features
@@stepheneckert4006 Bummer. Means for filming not much of an upgrade to the R5 I.
@@stepheneckert4006 According to the meanwhile available specs, only the action priority is "stills only"
Right when I’m about to pull a trigger on the z8 too. Have you been able to test possible rolling shutter speed on the r5mk2? Or, would you have an alternative suggestion specifically pushed towards Motorsport?
Nikon has better build quality and feel.... Canon feels like plastic.
@@kahvac Every exterior surface of the Z8 is plastic except the front plate, grip, and tripod plate. I say this as an owner of the Z8.
I jumped from the 1Dx3 to the R3 and immediately I was blown away how faster and more accurate the autofocus system was and I was never a mirrorless convert!!! Don’t get me wrong the 1Dx3 was an amazing jump from the original 1dx but the R3 is incredible. Will I be moving to the R1 ? Nope, I’ll wait till the R1 mk2 is announced and I can bet Canon are on with it now because of all the sort of negative points of the R1 people are saying about it, I can bet Canon are kicking themselves, but that’s how it rolls.
Hi Jared, very inspring start of learning the AF capabilities! What's interesting for me is not photo but video and what has changed there. If wildlife AF in video mode gets as reliable as your demo in action priority photo mode, that will be a game changer. And what has not yet been clarified is if the eye controlled AF isn't working in video mode like in the R3. Is that of interest for you as well? Than let's see what happened in this quite different sector of the new cameras. KR Ralf
Super, Jared! Appreciate you so much!
Do you think the R3 will get software updates related to this?
OK Jared, you've said that you don't add filters to you lenses except N/D filters. Well, I always attach one because ,God forbid, I happen to scratch a lens, I only damage a $30.00 filter not an expensive lens. So, my question is; had you ever had to buy an extension ring for a lens to get more threads for a lens cap or a lens hood?
Wow, fabulous analysis Jared. The AF switching between players in Slow motion is crazy good. AF has come a great way and this means more awesome sports shots. I wish these sessions had some wildlife photographers too - there is a whole genre out there that doesn't get addressed in these intro previews. However, I am terribly excited about the R5 MK II and its new AF and waiting to get my hands on it - wonder what is in store for wildlife / bird photography. Thanks for the amazing video and views.
A lot of bird photopgraphers are complaining about only 24 MP!! So you have to get closer to your subject! But an outstanding AF system will be very helpfull.
@@janvanholten7592if you do birding, you’d know why higher MP is king for it.
@@janvanholten7592 As a wildlife photographer I agree! I always shot with the 1dx camera's and didn't wish for one minut for extra pixels. People are staring blind on pixels nowadays, for me the AF is far more important to get the action shot in wildlife, so I hope so very much that the AF works as good with animals as with people.
Amazing Job Canon...
Hi Jared!
Will you test these cameras for nature and wildlife photography? How they track animals, birds, etc.?
When the autofocus “missed” on the face shot it looked like it just defaulted to the body instead of the face maybe opposed to following the sand chunks
I shoot a lot of equine events. I struggle with my R5 bouncing from human focus to equine focus and yes I have it set to track animal. I also struggle with it jumping from one animal to another. This new Canon could possibly help with that??
I wonder if the subject focus priority feature will allow you to prioritize horses over human faces. :D perhaps if you take a few photos of the horses at the event, maybe it'll focus on the horses' heads over their riders? Guess we'll have to wait and find out.
Does the C400 have the same autofocus as the R5 II?
