Agreed - I get sick of video, video, video... I could care less about video. They forget MANY of us are PHOTOGRAPHERS first. Thanks for sticking to PHOTOS.
Great video for those of us that bought the R5 for photography more over video. I bought mine back in January of this year. I did buy a 50mm f/1.2 lens and love it, especially in low light conditions. I'm considering the 70~200mm as a walk around lens. I went from an 80D to the R5. Had wanted a 5D Mk Iv for some time. Now I'm glad I waited. Thanks again for the video.
Upgraded to my R5 from an aging 1D mkIV. I fully understand what you are talking about with the build! reminds me of my EOS 1200D i owned many years ago lol. it seriously feels kind of cheap and more like a cheap model than a high end flagship. I've even asked friends that aren't photographers which is the better camera..... I've only had the pleasure of using my new camera with an older EF 70-200 ii. the images even out out that lens blow my mind! can't wait for the RF 24-100 to eventually turn up! Thanks for the great review that puts the STILL side first!
Thank you for this review. I have the R5 and I absolutely love it. You reminded me to to update the firmware for the lenses that I have.that is the one thing I did when I had the R and Tamron lenses. Now that I have RF lenses that work so well I hadn't thought to update them.
Wow! I don't know how I missed that you are right here in Singapore! Thanks for the "Photo-centric" review. Most others are 90% video which I could care less about. The R5 will probably be my next purchase as soon as Amazon has them back in stock. Also considered the R6 but I crop too much and too often for 20mp.
Woot an photo review of an photo camera with film function. Good work for this its still my nerves while waiting for my own r5 and the lens beside 15-35 and 70-200 L lenses i seeing forward most to my third lens is the prime 85mm 1,2 L USM DS version. Keep it up and cheers from Sweden 👍👍🙂
Enjoyable video. On the action shots, what drive mode were you using? Servo with High mechanical FPS or mirrorless? I have the R5 & RF 70-200 & RF 24-105 and so far I prefer the 70-200, it just seems to give better images even at the same aperture and focal length as the 24-105. Weird Eh?
So did you alternate or use electronic 1st curtain? I’ve just used mechanical 12fps so far and just didn’t realise how many images you have to sort through when you get carried away lol. I have animal eye AF & 12FPS set on C1 & People on C2 both on full manual but after seeing your video I might try Auto white Balance as I do get fed up of changing all the time when the light changes. If it’s reliable, one less thing to distract me 😆
It's interesting that you use the word refined. I for one was so obsessed with this for the longest time. My images and video had to be perfectly sharp zero noise and video needed to be perfectly smooth or else it was junk. I think it's all subjective to shooting style and archiving a certain look. Sure depending on the project/client different tools for different jobs, but since switching from the 1DXii to my Fuji system I've found that I don't always need that "perfect" shot to capture what I'm trying to show. It's for sure a balance but I guess what I'm trying to say is that what I've noticed from switching from Canon to Fuji is the Fuji looks a bit more organic or natural to me and when I took photos with the Canon it was more "digital" or electronic or binary if that is a word to describe it. Still would LOVE an R5 though haha if $$$ was not an option but I see what you mean is that you would need to tailor your shooting and editing style a touch more. Fuji for me, I shoot, send to my phone the JPEG and simple edit and boom I'm finished, that unless It's for a paying client and they need higher res images.
Man... You are WAY cool... I am genuinely SURPRISED you don't have WAY more subscribers.... Crazy world we live in... Love your vids man!! Keep em coming!
I’m at a bit of a cross roads with my current gear at the moment and looking to upgrade. Presently I have a Canon EOS 1DS3 and a 1D3 and I was looking at the 1DX3, I have dipped my toe in the Canon mirror less System by having the R and I’m very surprised with it having seen all the negative reviews and produces really nice images with my current lens lineup from the brilliant EF 11 - 24 F4L , 24 - 105 F4 L 70 - 200 F2.8 IS v2 L Sigma 105 F1.4 Art and the 400 F4 DO. The low light performance of my 1 series are now showing their age as anything above ISO 3200 is very noisy and with a lot of colour banding with the 1DS3, do I get the R5 and R6 combo or the 1DX3 as I mainly shoot portraits and weddings with some outdoor and landscape. Low noise in low light and accurate AF are a must especially in the UK as our weather being changeable .
Both the R5 and R6 will be better for you than the 1DX3 in my opinion. Better AF, fast, and the R6 has great Low light performance. If you need the higher resolution sensor then R5
Hey dude! I love your channel- Question- What is the better option for concert photography ? I shoot small venues such as rap concerts and solo shows. (dark environments) . The A7RV or Canon R5?
Thanks Gavin. Hmm tough decision between the two. They both would be equal but when it comes to lenses the Canon might have the advantage due to 1.2 lenses so low light photography will be better.
Fantastic video , can’t wait to COVID end & I’ll pickup the R5 when I can be in Singapore at the zoo with stop off at Cathay Photo for something. I saw the RF 70-200 there & it’s compact size blew me away, far easier to pack away & so come on a trip.
Another great presentation...thank you. Questions: If shooting photos only, will the R5 eventually shut down from heat or just restrict video functions? If it shuts down, what is the recovery time for full functionality (100% capability)? Thank you.
It won’t shut down due to heat. Video record time will be affected in certain types of recording like 8k and HQ 4K bit this is all depending on how much you photograph before you start video
Hey Bobby, Jose from Puerto Rico. Fantastic! You nailed it again man! You focused on stills and that's what I like. I dig your style of shooting: shutting off the camera and turn it back on when you see something you like; nice! It reminds me of the film days and you wanted to squeeze every bit of juice from those "pill" sized batteries. Having said that I don't think you'd have any issues with heating even if you didn't turn it off since you were shooting stills. I've seen other reviews focused on stills and never had any problems with heating. I also don't think it's gonna put a dent on the IDX mark III since that camera has a specialized type of photographer who relies on the ruggedness of a DSLR (that acts like a mirrorless). I can see these pros using the IDX Mark III for sheer speed and have an R5 as a back-up kit. What do you think?
Thank you Bobby, Nice video. R5 will be my next additional camera )) I had Canon 1DXmii, 5Dmiv, as for me the time of dslr cameras is finished. R5 is amazing camera
@@TECH360TV I think I remember that you don't currently own a digital camera (neither do I, I just sold my A7III last year to commit to film). Which camera system are you leaning towards if you had to choose? I know you're a big fan of the SL2, does the canon sway you?
Yes you are right. I own a leica MP film camera. That’s a very tough choice right now. In terms of performance photography wise I’m impressed with Canon quite a bit. The camera just works and if you are using this for assignments you won’t miss a shot. The SL2 is a beautiful camera to use but I’m waiting for the AF to be improved. I also like the S1R quite a bit as well. I think in the L mount it’s the high megapixel camera that is the more logical choice. Faster card slots, consistent updates etc. For video I’m in love with the A7SIII. It’s a fantastic camera. I’m also waiting to see what Nikon reveals this week. Love the system and I think the quality of files are really good.
So, before the mirrorless cameras and the lenses, the Canon lenses just sucked? How did they ever get all those great Sports Illustrated photos to look so good and all the wedding photos and everything? I think this is all "Hype" for the new cameras. Every 4 years a new one becomes the latest and greatest. There is NOTHING WRONG with the EF lenses, especially the L II Series. I have used the R6 and the R5. I would take the 5D Mark IV or 1DX Mark III any day. Solid feel. Great lens. Great focus. Great photos. Love the shutter sound. I think many will regret jumping on the bandwagon for these new mirrorless ones.
Loved how you titled this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Can u make me clear about what is the difference between the image quality with eos r5 and previous canon model.
Excellent review. Thank you. I conclude that the R5 is fabulous but too expensive. You've mentioned the high price while most reviewers focus on the technical aspects and ignore the crucial cost/value for money aspects. So, thank you. This camera is £4,200 in the UK. The resolution of the R6 does not provide a reasonable alternative so I will probably stick with Sony and wait for the R5 price to reduce.
Great review as always. When considering from a pure photography perspective, which camera/system would you prefer Sony A7riv vs Canon R5. What would be the key points for this choice?
When I heard about the R5 in May, I sold my A7RIV on the spot and preordered the R5. I got the camera in the first days of August and shot a Weeding one day later. I am very impressed of the IQ and the Dynamic Range of the pictures. I would never go back. Also, the colors straight out of camera are more to my taste. I almost never could benefit from the Sony 60Mpix resolution, only if conditions allowed for ISO 100 or less. In my opinion, the signal to noise ratio is much better on the R5. I shot sony for several years. Still use my A9 with the 200-600mm and the GM 70-200mm, both very good lenses. However, I just love the R-lenses (having a 85mm F1.2 , a 28-70mm F2, a 24-105mm F4 and the 35mm F1.8). These lenses alone are worth a consideration of the R-System.
Can I ask if you experienced screen blackouts while tracking or more importantly shooting moving subjects, that's a real problem for wildlife or sports when you can't keep the frame while shooting
@@TECH360TV thanks, after watching Tony Northrops review, I was really concerned about the issue which Chelsea brought up during the test. Like all Canon peeps switching we considered swapping over from our 5dsr or more often the 7d MkIII's for bird and wildlife shots, the R5 looked ideal if you can track
I had the 501.2 with the R. I have sold my R now and have a R5 on the way. But, I sold the 50 1.2. I never really used it for my photography . I'm looking to get the 85 1.2 now for the R5. Have you used it? I currently have the 24-70 RF and 70-200 RF.
I'm pro photographer really interested in the photography and everyone is passing this aspect up just saying it's "amazing!" Thank you for this video!!
In my opinion it wasnt Canon that positioned this camera "video first". It was youtubers and tech media in general that put most of the emphasis on its video specs. They all got a bit over exited when they read "8k". People have a tendancy to want more than they can have and those who dont want to pay for a video camera just got themselves a bit over exited as a result of this. I have no interest in video, and as such my judgement wasnt tainted by this over expectation. As a result, it was always fairly clear in my mind what the video limitations of this camera were likely to be. Canon use the term "cinema" camera as a way of differentiating its hybrid cameras but everyone worked themselves into a lather , naively expecting cinema camera performance which was never going to happen in a unit without a fan. So anyway Canon have now improved things through firmware and hopefully all this nonsensical whinging about the secondary functions of a hybrid camera will die down. The R5 is an awsome stills camera first and foremost.
Valid points but Canons marketing material was all about 8k in the beginning. Also what they announced on the camera first was the video features before the megapixels etc. Both are to blame for this, but at the end of the day It is Canon’s camera. They have the final say and that was primarily video.
At the lowest ISO the leica is sharper. When you start pushing the ISO up the Canon becomes better. Color wise they both are good. Dynamic range is comparable.
How much noise does this camera produce for shadow recovery in post, compared to the A7riv? Also, can this smaller sensor compete with the A7riv in producing sharpness and images that you can punch into? Thx
Noise is dependent on ISO. I feel the R5 does a good job with noise control. Yes this sensor can compete with the A7RIV in terms of sharpness mainly due to the lenses. The RF lenses are really high performing lenses. Sony has some great lenses but some are needed a refreshing if possible
Again great video ... One of the best channels i came across.. Agreed, great camera.. Canon again at the top of their game.. great job on that one.. I think compared to the Sony a9II the R5 has a better Eye AF.. the tracking on the R5 is beyond amazing.. Don't get me wrong , i use the Sony a9II as well as i own it , and i think the Sony has an amazing Tacking but when I have tried the R5, i think canon perfected that side of the camera.. Both Cameras are comfortable ... they are sharp as hell when subject is moving .. but the resolution advantage is obvious on the canon vs Sony.. If i haven't been heavily invested in the Sony lenses at this point, i would definitely would love to own this camera for Wildlife Photography..
Build quality maybe a deal breaker for people who mainly work out in all environments in action,sports and wildlife. Battery life could be an issue if in a location where your out on location with no electricity to recharge your battery. Still a brilliant review BTW.
@@TECH360TV true but I prefer a more robust build quality and one enclosed camera body. Battery grip has a chance of the battery grip coming loose over time and less chance of seawater getting into the innards of the camera with a solid one unit body. Build is this one issue may stop serious pro users covering yachting or off shore racing following in rib boats using the R5 plus the extended zoom lens length may also induce some dirt or fluids to enter the lens is another issue.
Great review 👍 About the price, it's about the same as the 5DMkIV came out, so I guess it's right on parr That said, it can always be cheaper off course
Thanks for watching! Yes starts off on the joggers side but slowly comes down. Here in Singapore we were more expensive than the US. As of late though the price dropped to me more in line with US pricing.
Brilliant video Bobby, very detailed and very informative. For once someone who talks sense and doesn't jump on to the overheating band wagon. I think the R5 & R6 are stunning bodies that are what the R should of been IMHO.
35 1.4 II looks cinematic because it's not sharp as an RF lens? That is Canon's sharpest EF lens to date. And I think it took a little bit of the organic feel from the original 35mm 1.4 L. I think I'll stick with my EF lenses. Also, Canon colors look muted on the EOS R/5D4 compared to the 5D III/II/Classic. So if the R5 raw is more muted tha than the EOS R, that's not a good sign. I would assume less micro contrast due to internal noise reduction but maybe it's just trying to fit more dynamic range on an 8 bit monitor when the file is first opened.
35 1.4 II is not Canons sharpest lens anymore. The RF lenses are considerably sharper. So compared to the RF variants it has a bit more of that organic feel to me. None the less it’s a beautiful lens As for the raw files they are different. Some prefer it, some prefer the traditional look of Canon Raw files. It took me a while to adjust to it and now I’m okay with the output
C series cameras. Actually we still live in a world where photography is dominant. Many people still don’t know how to edit video or want to take the time to do so. On UA-cam everyone talks about video but it’s not the reality outside
What camera does everything the r5 does without overheating? I’ll save you a response, there’s none. No camera on the market has a 45mp 20fps with 180 raw burst rate, high res LCD, 120fps EVF, so unless you got some secret camera we don’t know about
I wonder how Nikon will react to the release of the R5. I worry about Nikon because they have been falling behind. Btw, what is that song starting at 0:42?
@@TECH360TV we are really waiting for your opinion about that lens, because,your review is very natural and genuine,so I'm waiting dude,keep going you are doing such a nice job👍👍❤️
Too bad you didn't review the historic 28-70 F2.0. This is I think the only RF lens I will buy to go with my 90mm F2 Makro and 135 F2. With so many megapixels I expect to shift into APS-C mode for the extra 1.6x reach instead of buying slower tele lenses. Still get 17 megapixels but at F 2.0. With IBIS this historic lens should be good for 90 percent of my shots.
If you think about it Canon and Nikon are supposed to be better than Sony because they are primarily a Camera company, while Sony is a general tech company. The fact that both Canon ( until now) and Nikon have trailed Sony is very telling. I feel like both Canon and Nikon should've been the companies releasing ground breaking Camera tech not Sony ( and I'm a Sony shooter)
Since Canon and Adobe stopped being friends (the last Canon camera that Lightroom provided matching camera profiles was Eos R, after that EOS RP, EOS 90D, M6II, R5 and R6, Adobe stopped giving us camera matching profiles, even though they give it us on 99% of all our released cameras from other manufacturers (even newly released ones). Something happened between Adobe and Canon couple years ago and now that's the result. You get Adobe profiles which are horrible. Lack of matching profiles may explain when you put R5 (or RP, or 90D) files in Lightroom and they look like shit.
I would like to ask an opinion if I may. Love the reviews... been looking at the R5 and R6. I only shoot photos and do ZERO video. I don't do any people or animal photography. 95% of what I shoot is on an Airfield (Airshows primarily, sometimes commercial or civil aviation). I know I am in a "narrow lane". I shoot a 5DMk4 and the 90D both with the EF100-400L II IS USM. The 5DMk4 is a great body but its 7FPS is at the margin of what I need. The 90D does 10 FPS and is great too but I do want a faster FPS full frame. Then there's the 1DMkIII which I think you've reviewed so I need to go find that one. Shooting jets is a bit more forgiving w/ an EVF, however propeller-driven stunt planes and warbirds (WWII), that clock 350 mph w/ a prop spinning at 2000 RPM seem to really make an EVF cumbersome. I hear you can adjust the EVF refresh to get "close" to the more preferred OVF (for this type of shooting) but have not tried it. I have hit jets clocking Mach .98 w/ my 5Dmk4 at 7FPS but the hit rate, needless to say, is not great. The R5 w/ its higher resolution would be preferable but in cloudy sky conditions, the higher resolution could result in more noise. The 1DXmkIII is obviously the flagship (and still has the OVF - I guess this is why many sports folks haven't jumped on the mirrorless train as fast). However, it's a serious investment which I'm not sure I can justify. I have had some work published in mags here and there but don't make a living at this. Opinions welcome... thanks.
Hi Mark. Thanks for watching and the question I guess it depends on do you print your work for galleries or to sell. If so how large? The R5 and R6 performance is about the same. The big differences of course are the resolution, better EVF on the R5 and CF Express card on the R5 vs R6. There are minor differences outside of that but these are the main ones. As good as the R6 is, if I’m about resolution and need to crop I would opt for the R5. The new R series cameras have a better AF system than the 1DX IIII as well
Agreed Mark regarding the 1DX3! That’s what i shoot with & have gone back & forth thinking about trading in all my gear (50 1.2/24-70 2.8ii/70-200 2.8ii + recent addition of the 300 2.8ii) all for the R5 & identical lenses (excluding the 300) but obviously in RF mount! I just can’t do it yet even though one day would love the compactness of the new mirrorless system! I believe once the upcoming R1 is released that we’ll all see! The R5 still does have some issues & build quality I just can’t pull the trigger yet!
C'mon. A $3900, 45 MP camera that's OK to shoot at 6400 ISO for social media?? You really need to review any camera with specs like this for magazine and print applications, cuz no one needs it for IG!
The majority of photos taken these days will never see a printing machine. This is unfortunately a sad truth. I love printing photos but most won’t do that. As a result when I make these statements I need to be honest with this fact.
Both Nikon and Canon are having some brain farts. The Z7 didn't come with 2 card slots and was released with bad AF. The R5 was released with an 8K mode that's not usable and the IBIS wobble on wide lenses. Both companies have been around for 80 to 100yrs how are they still making mistakes?
I think all ibis systems do this on wide lenses which isn’t surprising as the edge of the sensor moves a lot whereas the centre is virtually stationary so pretty unavoidable really and this is where lens IS works better

The SL2 is a beautiful camera to use but I’m waiting for the AF to be improved.
I also like the S1R quite a bit as well. I think in the L mount it’s the high megapixel camera that is the more logical choice. Faster card slots, consistent updates etc.
For video I’m in love with the A7SIII. It’s a fantastic camera.
I’m also waiting to see what Nikon reveals this week. Love the system and I think the quality of files are really good.
What mic are you using outside? It sounds great.
Thanks. Sennheiser AVX system with Deity lav mic
So, before the mirrorless cameras and the lenses, the Canon lenses just sucked? How did they ever get all those great Sports Illustrated photos to look so good and all the wedding photos and everything? I think this is all "Hype" for the new cameras. Every 4 years a new one becomes the latest and greatest. There is NOTHING WRONG with the EF lenses, especially the L II Series. I have used the R6 and the R5. I would take the 5D Mark IV or 1DX Mark III any day. Solid feel. Great lens. Great focus. Great photos. Love the shutter sound. I think many will regret jumping on the bandwagon for these new mirrorless ones.
Loved how you titled this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Can u make me clear about what is the difference between the image quality with eos r5 and previous canon model.
Thanks Joshua. I would say out of camera the colors are not as vibrant in raw format compared to the EOS R.
Excellent review. Thank you. I conclude that the R5 is fabulous but too expensive. You've mentioned the high price while most reviewers focus on the technical aspects and ignore the crucial cost/value for money aspects. So, thank you. This camera is £4,200 in the UK. The resolution of the R6 does not provide a reasonable alternative so I will probably stick with Sony and wait for the R5 price to reduce.
Thanks for watching. Price is a big factor with any purchase and thought it worth mentioning
nice locations in every video. keep going.
your reviews are very detailed and authentic!
Thank you. Appreciate the support
@@TECH360TV will you do panasonic s5 review?
Working on getting it.
@@TECH360TV and a7siii?
Yes I have it now
Great review as always.
When considering from a pure photography perspective, which camera/system would you prefer Sony A7riv vs Canon R5.
What would be the key points for this choice?
R5. I find the EVF is better, the AF is fast and having a CF Express Card option makes buffering a thing of the past
** And a much worse autofocus, especially animal eye autofocus. And a also the slowest memory interface on the Market in this Segment :)
When I heard about the R5 in May, I sold my A7RIV on the spot and preordered the R5. I got the camera in the first days of August and shot a Weeding one day later. I am very impressed of the IQ and the Dynamic Range of the pictures. I would never go back. Also, the colors straight out of camera are more to my taste. I almost never could benefit from the Sony 60Mpix resolution, only if conditions allowed for ISO 100 or less. In my opinion, the signal to noise ratio is much better on the R5.
I shot sony for several years. Still use my A9 with the 200-600mm and the GM 70-200mm, both very good lenses. However, I just love the R-lenses (having a 85mm F1.2 , a 28-70mm F2, a 24-105mm F4 and the 35mm F1.8). These lenses alone are worth a consideration of the R-System.
@@Stefan1968ful It's a lot older than the R5 BUT also a heck of a lot cheaper and has other advantages.
Joe Marano A7R4 just came out, it hasn’t even been a year, are you saying Sony cameras suck so bad that you need to replace them every year
Can I ask if you experienced screen blackouts while tracking or more importantly shooting moving subjects, that's a real problem for wildlife or sports when you can't keep the frame while shooting
No. At high speeds I didn’t notice at all
@@TECH360TV thanks, after watching Tony Northrops review, I was really concerned about the issue which Chelsea brought up during the test. Like all Canon peeps switching we considered swapping over from our 5dsr or more often the 7d MkIII's for bird and wildlife shots, the R5 looked ideal if you can track
I had the 501.2 with the R. I have sold my R now and have a R5 on the way. But, I sold the 50 1.2. I never really used it for my photography . I'm looking to get the 85 1.2 now for the R5. Have you used it? I currently have the 24-70 RF and 70-200 RF.
Been waiting for Bobby to review this one!
Thanks James
Love your reviews man very detailed and great 😀🔥
Thanks Keifer much appreciated
Great video! Any chance you will review the R6?
Getting it soon
The best R5 review I seen yet! BTW is 70-200 as good as Nikon's Z70-200?
Thanks Alex. No it’s not. The Nikon is still better.
@@TECH360TV What makes it better?
Sharpness, bokeh, how much throw is needed to go from 70-200
I'm pro photographer really interested in the photography and everyone is passing this aspect up just saying it's "amazing!" Thank you for this video!!
My pleasure David.
@@TECH360TV I always enjoy your well delivered content!! Keep it up brother!
Thanks.
In my opinion it wasnt Canon that positioned this camera "video first". It was youtubers and tech media in general that put most of the emphasis on its video specs. They all got a bit over exited when they read "8k". People have a tendancy to want more than they can have and those who dont want to pay for a video camera just got themselves a bit over exited as a result of this. I have no interest in video, and as such my judgement wasnt tainted by this over expectation. As a result, it was always fairly clear in my mind what the video limitations of this camera were likely to be. Canon use the term "cinema" camera as a way of differentiating its hybrid cameras but everyone worked themselves into a lather , naively expecting cinema camera performance which was never going to happen in a unit without a fan. So anyway Canon have now improved things through firmware and hopefully all this nonsensical whinging about the secondary functions of a hybrid camera will die down. The R5 is an awsome stills camera first and foremost.
Valid points but Canons marketing material was all about 8k in the beginning. Also what they announced on the camera first was the video features before the megapixels etc.
Both are to blame for this, but at the end of the day It is Canon’s camera. They have the final say and that was primarily video.
what is your opinion about r5 vs leica sl2 in terms of image quality
At the lowest ISO the leica is sharper. When you start pushing the ISO up the Canon becomes better. Color wise they both are good.
Dynamic range is comparable.
Great review. Is the eye tracking just for animal or can be used for portrait photography?
Both.
0:47 someone should really get that baby out of the fish tank...
Just letting you know, I was looking for a review more so for video.. However, your thumbnail made me click. Very nice work my guy.
Thank you for giving our video a chance.
How much noise does this camera produce for shadow recovery in post, compared to the A7riv? Also, can this smaller sensor compete with the A7riv in producing sharpness and images that you can punch into? Thx
Noise is dependent on ISO. I feel the R5 does a good job with noise control. Yes this sensor can compete with the A7RIV in terms of sharpness mainly due to the lenses. The RF lenses are really high performing lenses. Sony has some great lenses but some are needed a refreshing if possible
Again great video ... One of the best channels i came across.. Agreed, great camera.. Canon again at the top of their game.. great job on that one.. I think compared to the Sony a9II the R5 has a better Eye AF.. the tracking on the R5 is beyond amazing.. Don't get me wrong , i use the Sony a9II as well as i own it , and i think the Sony has an amazing Tacking but when I have tried the R5, i think canon perfected that side of the camera.. Both Cameras are comfortable ... they are sharp as hell when subject is moving .. but the resolution advantage is obvious on the canon vs Sony.. If i haven't been heavily invested in the Sony lenses at this point, i would definitely would love to own this camera for Wildlife Photography..
What a great review!!! Many thanks
Thanks 🙏
Build quality maybe a deal breaker for people who mainly work out in all environments in action,sports and wildlife. Battery life could be an issue if in a location where your out on location with no electricity to recharge your battery. Still a brilliant review BTW.
True. This is where the 1DX still has its strengths. However a vertical grip with extra batteries will help
@@TECH360TV true but I prefer a more robust build quality and one enclosed camera body. Battery grip has a chance of the battery grip coming loose over time and less chance of seawater getting into the innards of the camera with a solid one unit body. Build is this one issue may stop serious pro users covering yachting or off shore racing following in rib boats using the R5 plus the extended zoom lens length may also induce some dirt or fluids to enter the lens is another issue.
Do you only review Canon cameras? I wish you would do a review the Leica SL2
Coming soon. Should be released this week.
Great review 👍
About the price, it's about the same as the 5DMkIV came out, so I guess it's right on parr
That said, it can always be cheaper off course
Thanks for watching! Yes starts off on the joggers side but slowly comes down. Here in Singapore we were more expensive than the US. As of late though the price dropped to me more in line with US pricing.
Good review. Would love to hear how it compares to the R6.
Thanks Nick. Will do that comparison soon
Not being funny but I think the difference between them is for once literally the specs, as the R6 functions so well in comparison where it matters.
Brilliant reviews as usual
Thanks!
Brilliant video Bobby, very detailed and very informative. For once someone who talks sense and doesn't jump on to the overheating band wagon. I think the R5 & R6 are stunning bodies that are what the R should of been IMHO.
Thanks Ron!
I don't care about Canon. I watch your reviews because they are so natural.
Thanks Milorad
Same here
Thanks Fitz
Good video keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching
Can you do a comparison with the canon 50 1.2 and the sigma 50 1.4
And same with the
Canon 85 1.2 and the sigma 85 1.4 Art
Thank you
Perhaps in the future but right now we have a backlog of reviews that we need to finish first
It's on par with the 5D series in terms of "robustness" and weather sealing. Wait for the R1 if you really feel you need the extra robustness...
It might be but doesn’t feel that way.
Good review, well done.....waiting impatiently for mine to arrive (ps, was an African Hunting Dog- Wild Dog, not a Hyena )
Thanks Guy. Yes made a mistake on that
awesome review. I hope they get an R6 in your hands as well
Getting it this week
35 1.4 II looks cinematic because it's not sharp as an RF lens? That is Canon's sharpest EF lens to date. And I think it took a little bit of the organic feel from the original 35mm 1.4 L. I think I'll stick with my EF lenses. Also, Canon colors look muted on the EOS R/5D4 compared to the 5D III/II/Classic. So if the R5 raw is more muted tha than the EOS R, that's not a good sign. I would assume less micro contrast due to internal noise reduction but maybe it's just trying to fit more dynamic range on an 8 bit monitor when the file is first opened.
35 1.4 II is not Canons sharpest lens anymore. The RF lenses are considerably sharper. So compared to the RF variants it has a bit more of that organic feel to me. None the less it’s a beautiful lens
As for the raw files they are different. Some prefer it, some prefer the traditional look of Canon Raw files. It took me a while to adjust to it and now I’m okay with the output
So what is the Canon video camera? Sort of a cop out to say it’s really a camera for photos given the camera world we are in now.
C series cameras.
Actually we still live in a world where photography is dominant. Many people still don’t know how to edit video or want to take the time to do so. On UA-cam everyone talks about video but it’s not the reality outside
What camera does everything the r5 does without overheating? I’ll save you a response, there’s none. No camera on the market has a 45mp 20fps with 180 raw burst rate, high res LCD, 120fps EVF, so unless you got some secret camera we don’t know about
At 6:08 R5 35mm F1.4 GM ? What is that Sony G Master ? I was ready to like this video :)
Apologies our editor made a mistake. No Sony lenses in this video 😊
@@TECH360TV You can mistake however you want. I don't mind. Just don't mention bloody Sony 😊
Hahaha 😂
Is the Sony 70-200 f2.8 a better lens ?
Wouldn’t say it’s better. About the same
plz will you tell the overheat issue, if i shoot Raw & jpg both for day long, not vdo.
Should be fine
@@TECH360TV Thanks for reply
Is there anything that the 1DX3 or 5DSR do better than the R5?
For 1Dx: Better battery life, faster mechanical shutter, better build quality
I wonder how Nikon will react to the release of the R5. I worry about Nikon because they have been falling behind. Btw, what is that song starting at 0:42?
Need to ask on the song. I’ve heard Nikon has some interesting things coming in the pipeline.
Hey nice video,pls talk about 85mm macro also plssss
I’m asking for it but Canon Singapore doesn’t have one for me to review
@@TECH360TV we are really waiting for your opinion about that lens, because,your review is very natural and genuine,so I'm waiting dude,keep going you are doing such a nice job👍👍❤️
Too bad you didn't review the historic 28-70 F2.0. This is I think the only RF lens I will buy to go with my 90mm F2 Makro and 135 F2.
With so many megapixels I expect to shift into APS-C mode for the extra 1.6x reach instead of buying slower tele lenses. Still
get 17 megapixels but at F 2.0. With IBIS this historic lens should be good for 90 percent of my shots.
If you think about it Canon and Nikon are supposed to be better than Sony because they are primarily a Camera company, while Sony is a general tech company. The fact that both Canon ( until now) and Nikon have trailed Sony is very telling. I feel like both Canon and Nikon should've been the companies releasing ground breaking Camera tech not Sony ( and I'm a Sony shooter)
Same here, I prefer internal zoom.
Since Canon and Adobe stopped being friends (the last Canon camera that Lightroom provided matching camera profiles was Eos R, after that EOS RP, EOS 90D, M6II, R5 and R6, Adobe stopped giving us camera matching profiles, even though they give it us on 99% of all our released cameras from other manufacturers (even newly released ones). Something happened between Adobe and Canon couple years ago and now that's the result. You get Adobe profiles which are horrible. Lack of matching profiles may explain when you put R5 (or RP, or 90D) files in Lightroom and they look like shit.
Agreed the Adobe profiles look terrible.
WAIT! WTF??? the 1.1.0 firmware allows this camera to actually take PHOTOS??? that's so fucking cool!!!
Lol
Heavier(“more robust”) isn’t better for me. That’d be a deal breaker. Light weight is critical. Don’t drop your expensive stuff! Thanks
Ok 👌
Great "user" experience review, you should have another 0 on the end of your subs and give DPR a run for their money, keep them coming and stay safe
Thanks Ian. Hope one day we have that 0
I would like to ask an opinion if I may. Love the reviews... been looking at the R5 and R6. I only shoot photos and do ZERO video. I don't do any people or animal photography. 95% of what I shoot is on an Airfield (Airshows primarily, sometimes commercial or civil aviation). I know I am in a "narrow lane". I shoot a 5DMk4 and the 90D both with the EF100-400L II IS USM. The 5DMk4 is a great body but its 7FPS is at the margin of what I need. The 90D does 10 FPS and is great too but I do want a faster FPS full frame. Then there's the 1DMkIII which I think you've reviewed so I need to go find that one. Shooting jets is a bit more forgiving w/ an EVF, however propeller-driven stunt planes and warbirds (WWII), that clock 350 mph w/ a prop spinning at 2000 RPM seem to really make an EVF cumbersome. I hear you can adjust the EVF refresh to get "close" to the more preferred OVF (for this type of shooting) but have not tried it. I have hit jets clocking Mach .98 w/ my 5Dmk4 at 7FPS but the hit rate, needless to say, is not great. The R5 w/ its higher resolution would be preferable but in cloudy sky conditions, the higher resolution could result in more noise. The 1DXmkIII is obviously the flagship (and still has the OVF - I guess this is why many sports folks haven't jumped on the mirrorless train as fast). However, it's a serious investment which I'm not sure I can justify. I have had some work published in mags here and there but don't make a living at this. Opinions welcome... thanks.
Hi Mark. Thanks for watching and the question I guess it depends on do you print your work for galleries or to sell. If so how large?
The R5 and R6 performance is about the same. The big differences of course are the resolution, better EVF on the R5 and CF Express card on the R5 vs R6. There are minor differences outside of that but these are the main ones.
As good as the R6 is, if I’m about resolution and need to crop I would opt for the R5.
The new R series cameras have a better AF system than the 1DX IIII as well
@@TECH360TV thanks sir. Good info. The AF system point might def be the deciding factor. I’ll likely rent first. Appreciate you taking time to reply 🤙
Agreed Mark regarding the 1DX3! That’s what i shoot with & have gone back & forth thinking about trading in all my gear (50 1.2/24-70 2.8ii/70-200 2.8ii + recent addition of the 300 2.8ii) all for the R5 & identical lenses (excluding the 300) but obviously in RF mount! I just can’t do it yet even though one day would love the compactness of the new mirrorless system! I believe once the upcoming R1 is released that we’ll all see! The R5 still does have some issues & build quality I just can’t pull the trigger yet!
Perhaps wait for the rumoured R1. This might be what you are looking for
They most likely will make an rf 35mm 1.2 lol
Hope so!
RF100-500 review?
Would like to try in the future
@@TECH360TV Waiting for it!
I found the RF35 to perform better than the EF.
Interesting review. Would love it if you lost the background music - makes it so much harder to concentrate on what you're saying.
Thanks for the feedback
Correction: that’s an African wild dog, not a hyena. Oh and the R5 looks awesome. Can’t wait to get mine!!
Yep! Corrected in the comments. Thanks
Put a battery grip on it and don't worry about shutting it off...
Of course. Battery grips always help but talking about the camera as is
I thought I was weird for cutting my camera off between shots 😂
At 16:16 that's an African Wild Dog, not a hyena.
But enjoyed the video
Yes thank you. I mentioned one time in the video I wasn’t sure what it was.
First 😀😀😀 Great review guys!!!
Thanks!
Then of course Manny and yourself make the same video 🤣 like smgdh.
I just wish telescoping lenses didn't do so bad in dusty conditions.
Haha I noticed his came out roughly at the same time. We don’t know each other, this is purely coincidence
@@TECH360TV lmao I get it, not much else to discuss with cameras, we're literally spoiled brats honestly
Lol true. In 2020 all cameras are impressive.
That's not a hyena lol 16:30
C'mon. A $3900, 45 MP camera that's OK to shoot at 6400 ISO for social media?? You really need to review any camera with specs like this for magazine and print applications, cuz no one needs it for IG!
The majority of photos taken these days will never see a printing machine. This is unfortunately a sad truth. I love printing photos but most won’t do that.
As a result when I make these statements I need to be honest with this fact.
nice video, but you talked very fast omg !
If I turn off my camera I would miss the shot.
Nic
Thanks
Why not show jPeg pictures???
Both Nikon and Canon are having some brain farts. The Z7 didn't come with 2 card slots and was released with bad AF. The R5 was released with an 8K mode that's not usable and the IBIS wobble on wide lenses. Both companies have been around for 80 to 100yrs how are they still making mistakes?
I think all ibis systems do this on wide lenses which isn’t surprising as the edge of the sensor moves a lot whereas the centre is virtually stationary so pretty unavoidable really and this is where lens IS works better
still a huge camera...i'll stick with my sony rx100...
One is full frame the other isn’t. Different types of camera
