I just watched the video, this was a good video lol!!!
It's a great video! Looking forward to taking my new R5 to Jackson Hole this week!
I watched it at 2x as I have no plans to exit Nikon and found that it was easier to watch...lololol Still a good video though.
Me too I agree! 😃
😜
No, this video has an important omission: No L-MOUNT-ALLIANCE roar this time 😅 But hey at least it has a joke about PENTAX again, 1:43 "If we relied on specs, and specs alone, to determine how good something is, then would still be in business" 😉
I think it's great to see long term "year later" reviews and thoughts about gear. They are much more meaningful than the initial release marketing hype when a new product comes out. I bought an R5 around late October after its launch and was lucky enough to get it by Christmas. I was switching systems from my MFT gear to full frame.
After firmware updates the camera is an absolutely fantastic hybrid camera from Canon. FINALLY! The stills performance is just awesome and the video performance with Canon Log 3 is now great as well.
The camera was poo poo'd, rightly in my opinion, from the beginning for the overheating. Canon did the right thing and released firmware to address some of the issues.
Agree! A 1-year revisit is an excellent idea!
Wanting to move to r5 from my M4T camera's. What is your current set-up now?
I gave the R6 the most demanding autofocus test that I know off. My children playing with swings, normal and rotating ones. Not a single of 300 shots were out of focus. I was blown away knowing how my 6D mk ii fare in the same test.
I really love my R5, best camera purchase I've ever made!
Go nikon!! I bought the z72 with the 0.95 noctis lens and dude it is the best thing I ever did
@@androgeniko LMAO that lens is useless for 95% of the public. Good luck even shooting a model walking towards you. You have to look at the overall picture of what people use cameras for. What do you photograph with your Noct lens?
@@cooloox I do milky way photos that’s why I bought the noct lens. I Also have other lenses for the Z mount and I think nikon nailed it. Altogh we need a more powerfull camera with new processor and minor tweaks to the AF algorithims
@@androgeniko that thing is absolutely worth it and dead sharp if you have patience.
Same here
I got involved with photography full time 20 years ago when i retired. After a lot of research, i decided to shoot with Olympus. I was completely sold on Olympus after spending hours at sea photographing whales. When i got back to y hotel, my camera was completely soaked with salt water. I just took the camera in the shower and ran hot water over it for about 5 minutes before drying it off with a towel. The camera still worked like new. Later, I started photographing ballet on a regular basis. I had just purchased my second Olympus camera, the one with their first electronic viewfinder. Unfortunately, when I tried to track a ballet dancer, the viewfinder was completely unusable. It was so badly blurred I could not see the dancer.
At this point I switched to Canon and bought the 5D Mark II, then the Mark III, and now I shoot with the EOS R and the EOS R6. I could not be more pleased with shooting with Canon cameras.
I started off with the 90D then got the R5. I do video recording with the 90D and stills only with the R5. The R5 is simply in a class of its own, i use the 90D for videos..
I really appreciated this video about real life usage and review of a camera after 1 year of heavy use. Also very useful to compare it including the software updates, the new lenses, and the general advances in technologies.
Thank you very much for this work
Love your videos, amazing work as always!
My favorite camera to date. It’s a just amazing in areas and balanced in others. It’s only real fault is overheating in 4k60/120. 45mp, 20fps, skin tones, canon app, wireless raw transfer(#1 plus for me), RF glass, 4kHQ, Ergonomics, it’s still the #1 value a year later.
R5 has been and still is my dream camera ever since it came out
I've used an R5 and an R6 for videos and highly recommend them. They can always be rented, I do.
Excellent and reassuring video, with some great demo shots, thanks.
I switched from my Sony A73 to an R5 with 50 1.2 glass based off your review video alone, and have been blown away by the performance. Thank you again for everything Jared!
Canon had me with their color science and never looked back.
The clarity slider also gave me enough reason to cancel my Lightroom renewal.
"color science" is a total bullshit if you do grading.
@@user-cr5wt6gl2o maybe he doesn't need much color grading and like the out of camera with canon unlike the other brands
Really enjoyed the format of this video.
So much information, thank you!
I switched from a Sony a7r4 to the R5 and glad I did. Nothing wrong with the Sony but Canon glass is superior, so glad I switched.
Who told you that ... I mean... The RF lineup is good... But if i compare for example the both 50 1.2... The Canon is not even close...
I come from the Canon Universe and wouldn't go back even if Canon would give it for free to me
@@bojangbg 50mm 1.2 35mm 1.4 135mm 1.8 24mm 1.4
Only Sony glass that is good. The rest is out dated and junk. The 50 Rf and the 50 gm are so close
Canon glass oversized overpriced and onion bokeh is its fingerprint, due to heavy use of aspherical elements.
I made the change from the a7ii to the eos r and I’d say I’m happy but I do fantasize about going back every now and then.maybe when the a7iii goes down in price a little I’ll pick one up.
… funny, just switched to the a1. 🤷🏼♂️
GREAT REVIEW! honestly respect it so much when people come back after a long time use.
I am hoping to upgrade to the R5 from the R in the next year or so. (hopefully when the price of the body and cards goes for lower)
fabulous review , Jared just keeps getting better
Good and honest review Jared... All the best and enjoy your Sunday 👊🏼
This was your best video ever thank you for you take on this subject
Great review Jared.....the best review I've seen yet!!👍
You’re my go-to Jared! Love it. As always great video.
Jared great job. I have been contemplating the switch to Mirrorless still love my Mark II. I’m glad you addressed using the converter mount for EF lenses that has been a concern as to quality. Still a hefty price point but I’m more inclined to make a move today than I was yesterday. Thank you 👍🏻
One of the best reviews of the R5! Legendary camera. Great work Jared!
I'm a would-be nature photographer. I've had an R5 for a week now and photographing birds in flight is like cheating! To see the autofocus box find the eye of a small bird at a distance is amazing! I've even had it find the eyes on a dragonfly. Stunning tech.
Adrian. How would you rate the build quality of the R5 against say semi-pro DSLRs?
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO Having owned a 7D2 and a 5D4 the build quality is just as good. It's solid. I can pick up the camera with a 500mm F4 attached, by the camera grip, with no fear
I got my R5 about a month ago and it's just nuts. I just got the RF800 lens and i was capturing still photos of squirrels at 1/250 , hand held and they are razor sharp. I'm so impressed with the stabilization with this camera and RF lenses.
Damn sounds like some great squirrel photos ha
Awesome review of the Canon EOS R5! Stephen & Dan (and Jared) hit creating this review 'out of the park'! Love to see these kinds of reviews
Thanks to the love I have to my R5, I am starting a busines in photography. Hell of a camera!
Explained beautifully 💚
I really love the R5 as well. For my channel videos I only ever use regular 4K, but the 120fps full frame 4k is so awesome. I've never had overheating at all. And the IBIS adds stability to my favorite 24-70mm ii with clarity almost as good as the 5DSR. Really hard to beat!
A solid and very informative review!
My R5 is the best camera I've ever owned. My R6 is the second best. My 5D Mark IV is now at KEH awaiting a new home. My 7D Mark II is gathering dust.
KEH sponsorship? Nice moving up 👍🏻
I wonder how will R7 turn out to be. 7DII was quite amazing when it was released

@@LuisPerez-fy6up oooh, spooky language.
@@LuisPerez-fy6up sponsorship??? 😂😂😂😂 I wish.
I have an R5 and an R. I must say this has been my all time favorite combination of gear ever. Canon did such a great job of their mirrorless bodies!
i loved that video , relax style, very pleasing to watch
Really enjoyed this review as i am looking to upgrade from 7D MK 2 to the R5 this fall.
Thank you again for another great review Jared
Great review Jared! 👌😎
Thank you for sharing this review!! The R5 sounds like a great unit! Will you do something similar for the R6?
hey Jared, I just want to say that you inspire me. thank you
Awesome review Jared!! You da best!
I have The R5 since last September. I think its the best camera, ever done. I had some issues with Tamron lens, but it was fixed by Tamron, last February.
I just love the Camera and its photography.
What issues did you have? I have a mix of Sigma and Tamron lenses and I have not been able to get sharp shots with my R5, but I get perfect tack-sharp shots using the same lenses with my EOS R. Which lenses do yo have and how did Tamron fix the issue?
@@johnneiberger7311 The problems where with two specific lens. Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 G2, and Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2
The problems where thet after a while, the autofocus did not work and i got a red square. The only way to fix it , was by shutting off the camera, taking off the lens. That could happen every 5 minutes, or every camera wake-up.
After upgraded the firmware on both lences, the problems disappear.
@@MrDubicz Ah, interesting. That's different from what I'm running into. I've checked for updated firmware in the past, a couple of months ago, but I'll check again. My issue seems to be a problem with IBIS. Shots with fast shutter speeds that should be sharp end up being super soft with a lack of detail. It's pretty odd and frustrating to troubleshoot. I've seen reports of a very small percentage of R5 users reporting a sensor misalignment that leads to something similar to this. Unfortunately, since I'm not using Canon lenses, Canon support won't even open a ticket for it, and I don't really blame them. I'm going to test with some RF glass today. That should prove if it's a lens issue or a sensor issue.
@@johnneiberger7311 Try it . If its ok, you should try replacing the adapter, or try cleaning its electric contacts
Hey, does the lens IS works in pair with the ibis on your Tamrons ? I’ve been searching this info and couldn’t find it. I have 24-70 g2 and I plan to acquire the R6. Thanks a lot !
I have just jumped from my 1DX/7D2 combo to an R5..I find it was like getting of a bus and jumping on the Starship Enterprise. Everything you said was bang on. No regrets. The autofocus has just made taking wildlife so much easier. Great review.
I've been shooting my R5 since last July here in Vegas, outside mostly hot (avg 110°) or cold (avg 45°), it's been solid.
really found this video helpful - I'm getting the R5 and the Canon RF L series 24-105mm USM lens for my birthday - so I have subscribed!
This review is just lit.. Well done Jared 👌
I love my R5. I've had everything from a 20D up through the 1DX Mark II and the R5 is just another step above. It's helped me kick my side business into high gear and I love it!
Great content. Great Review, Sir!
Fantastic review as always and a super video. Can someone recommend what lens is best with this camera for macro shots
Great review jared
Really loving my 2x R5’s - I don’t really do video except for the odd 4K HQ clip here and then... definitely agree about the RF glass / sharpness / colour, and ability to shoot reliably at 1.2 I won’t be upgrading bodies again for a long time, instead investing more in other gear like RF glass and lighting
thanks for the update. Love the t-shirt EH !!
Great review sir!!
I too bought a Canon R5 and am a very satisfied customer. My only complaint is the lack of glass to be found in stock. I had to buy an adapter off ebay to use my ef glass. The R5 is a beast! As for those who complain about 8k, what the hell are you thinking? I have 2 top of the line gaming computers that take forever to process 8k files. It's not practical to process longer videos with file sizes that will only lock up your computer. Camera files are out pacing the ability of computers to edit such media. 4k is the best resolution for the majority. Back to my main reason for buying the R5, the pics are on another level with the autofocus. I think Canon has an edge over Sony with the combination of ef or rf glass plus the autofocus. Just can't be matched. The only real complaint is the battery life. You will need to buy extra batteries for videos or invest in a battery grip. I have 6 batteries now due to taking trips on the weekend only to find out that it takes a long time to recharge one. Don't find yourself without a fully charged battery. I'm wating to see what the newer flagship models bring to the table in terms of specs and performance. Going to be an interesting year to come!
My only gripe on my R6 is the battery life. So I'd definitely agree on that aspect. Other than that, both the R5 and R6 are amazing tools to use for photographers and hobbyists. Bravo, Canon.!!
You don't have a clue what you are talking about trying to edit 8K video with a gaming computer lol. Video editing requires a video editing workstation.
@@24framestime And what computer/ workstation would you use and what are the specs? How do you edit 8k videos? Give the world details....... please.
@@markcain8683 you’ll find all the details that the world can access with a Google search
Upgraded my 1DX MKiii and EF Lenses for R5 and RF Glass - The Auto Focus is so good - Tempted by the R1 when it arrives ...
I just got my R5 from Allen’s Camera and I’m very happy with it! My Mark 3 is now retired as my backup camera. I didn’t get any RF lenses, instead I got the Controller Adapter Ring to use my EF lenses and it’s been flawless.
This should always be the kind of review everyone must do hahaha great video, Sir!
Another great vid Jared.
Amazing camera! 🤙🏻
I do photography full time for a product company, I convinced them to upgrade this year from 5DmarkIII with 24-105 f4 and 50mm f2.8 macro to the R5 paired a 28-70 f2 and 85 f2 macro. The change has been incredible, it is an outstanding set up for the product photography work I do. I shoot on a Sony A7RIII for my personal work - which I think I still prefer over the R5, however, I am getting some strong 28-70 f2 envy and the R5 is the best way to take advantage of it.
Hi Jared, excellent video as always. Are you considering developing the Fro-Packs to work with Capture One? As a user it would be awesome to be able use my preferred system with your styles
I shoot mostly video. I bought an R5 and an RF 28-30. My god, the autofocus is flawless. In the past I would NEVER shoot lower than 4.0 without someone to pull focus. Now I’ll shoot 2.0 all by myself. Also, overheating has never been a problem.
You mean the 28-70 2.0?
Did you shoot 8K or 4KHQ for extended time >30 minutes without overheating though?
"RF 28-30"? 😂
Meta comment. I love the way you put these videos together, Jared. Very professional to my eyes.
Usual great quality balanced view.
Those flamingo pics are some of my favs of your shots you've shared! I would love to own an r5! Maybe even the R3......And i love it with that 800mm lens......
I moved from a Canon 5dMark III to the R5, and it was the best move I ever made. Love the camera! A definite winner.
After using the R5 for over a year, I can safely say that this was the best investment I made into a camera system. Granted though, my first camera was a 6D Mark II and every feature is considered an upgrade. But the R5 made my chances of getting lucky on getting the perfect shot just dumbfounding! I am really impressed with the camera in the stills department and when I dabble in the video, I am immensely impressed by it's capability. Granted though, I only use the video in small samples and I barely use it in general. But having that option to shoot incredible video when primarily using it as a stills camera is incredible!
I agree completely. Cannot say that about Sony A1. The image processing is crude at low ISO, and the lenses are too expensive. I liked Sony back when they were good with NEX. After NEX-7, the quality fell through the cracks, and I don't like that.
Last talk , portrait beast A1 or R5 ?
It's a brilliant piece of kit..
About a week ago I decided it was finally time to upgrade from my 1DX Mark I. And there was no question what that that next camera would be - the Mark III, of course. Now here I am, just a few days of research later, and it's looking more and more like I'll be joining the masses and going mirrorless. R5 here I come. Wish me luck, and thanks for the great review.
Loving my R5 too. By far the best camera I have ever owned, including at least one other that cost more than the R5. Jared (or anyone who knows), can you refer me to which video explains the focus settings/modes used for sports photography?
to give perspective (follow up) Camera over heating might be something we have to get used for a while (unless they get really good ARM CPUs...maybe) I have the Sony A7S3. And filming outside, in the sun, in 1080p 30fps, 4.2.2 10bit it WILL over heat and shut down in a couple hours. (not constant recording) I have been getting in the habit of holding my camera and putting it in the shade when not recording.
Jared! Great vid, it helped me decide on the R5. I am coming from two 5dMKIVs, what would be the best choice for a backup camera? (Besides another R5) I am Canon still shooter and SONY for video (70/30) Thanks! I appreciate you...
i love the R5 after upgrading it from the EOS R . I dropped the 24-105 F4 with the R and started looking at RF glass . the problems is when you have a mix of RF and EF glass and changing then in the fly is a pain unless you have several adaptors to keep on the EF ones LOL
so RF28-70 was my first WOW love it. RF70-200 F2.8 second . RF100-500 OMG this is ace to focus at 1.2mtrs when at 500mm gives a beautiful image (IMO ) next the RF100 Macro and later either the RF15-35 f2.8 or RF14-35 F4 Ive got to wait for cash but also to find out how good the F4 is . and then im done well at least till a second hand RF85 F1.2 LOL but I dont need that just want
Love my r6. The 4K IBIS and photos are so unbelievably impressive.
Yeah same, but the Overheating really sucks
I'm supposed to buy the Canon R6, I shoot primarily weddings which lasts all day, could you tell me more about the overheating for video. I'll be shooting candids. Also have you'll used the atomos ninja v?
@@enochdias53 fhd no Problem at all, 4K won’t last long, even with external recording. GREAT Quality, love this camera, but the 4K overheating really sucks. Should have bought the r5, you’ll get like unlimited Record time in 4K with external recording.
@@dirtvalle thank you, I didn't buy yet, but I'll probably try the R5. My issue is with finance, but I'll try.
@@enochdias53 same for me, if fhd is enough for you get the r6. You can shoot 4K but you have to expect it to overheat every minute. After 2 minutes cool Down you are able to go fhd again, of course 4K needs longer. What I heard about the r5 is that it should be capable of 4K External about 3 to 4hours
What a beautiful head shot model.
Still in love with my R5 👌🏽
Best camera I ever owned can’t wait till I get 2nd backup body
i’ve got the R6 and it is amazing
Loving my Canon R6.... Great buy
The best Canon camera ever made! 🙌🙌🙌
6:55 - I agree, I'd like Canon to open up a bit personally. What I want in particular to use is Voigtlander manual lenses on it. Only Sony has it at the moment and I don't want to own 2 systems once I switch from the EF-mount to the RF-mount.
You are the best, Jared!
I received my pre-order finally last November. Overheating has never been an issue, but shoot 4K.
Good overview
Good video. Love my R5
Waiting to see what the R3 can do
Thank you honest review that’s what I like about you. Sometime a little biased but most the time straightforward.
Thank you for this follow-up Jared. I do primarily landscape and architecture photography and love making gigantic prints. I'm still using a 5DsR, and have a fortune of EF glass. For mirrorless I'm still using a Sony A7r3. For some reason I haven't gotten myself to fully commit to the Sony system, and on the Canon side I have a stroke every time I calculate how much it would cost to switch over to the R5. Maybe if and when a R5 mk 2 becomes a thing I'll be ready to take the plunge. I'll keep getting my Fro news fix until then.
I have over 10k in EF glass, and $0 in RF glass. With the R5 and EF adapter, I feel zero need to buy RF glass. I imagine I’ll get some RF lenses eventually, but right now, the R5 has given new life to my EF glass.
Yes, I too don't mind a little noise in my images at high ISO, I guess I'm more forgiving since I started from film days anyway and I find it adds character to the shots, and it reminds me of the stack of pics I used to love in National Geographic magazines I used to enjoy binging through as a kid :)
Canon R5 and R6 are both great!
I don't even have the R5 and I have been happy with the RF Line. I use the EOS R and get amazing results, Excited to see what the R3 is capable of!
The R5 one year review video is a great video indeed. I felt I was receiving good information, the music choices were very nice, and I felt good passion coming from you explaining what you thought about it. Keep these videos up my brother!
I’m using the Samyang RF 85 1.4 and LOVE it for doing headshots and portraits. Canon may not have given them permission but they managed a decent job regardless.
The IBIS and IS does work good. I’ve been able to hand hold shots with the R5 and RF100-500 at 500mm at 1/60 and got great sharp images.
The only complaint I really have with the R5 is the size, even with the grip I wish it was a little bigger.
The R3 is coming. Announcement this week? Bigger body, faster sensor, etc. for those looking for a little more. But, I love my R5.
Hi Jared, which camera we can take for all round process canon R5 or R3.photography like birds, night/low photography,macro and landscape.
R5 and the 28-70 f2 is a killer combo. Literally can do almost anything you need.
Was going to get the R5 but went with the Leica SL2. Best for what I do. Very very happy with the system. And yea, only one Leica lens a 75mm APO SL, and a Sigma 45 2.8. Totally tapped out but worth it at least to me.
R3 is going to smash that A1
Denoising can be useful, it can even make a subject pop more with good subject selection and doing the denoising on the background. But yeah, it takes a light touch if you're going to use it on a subject.
Your videos are awesome. I was not sure if should get the Sony or the Canon but after your video, I'm definitely going for the Sony. Canon is good but my photography recommended the Sony so thanks for helping me decide.
I’ve been spending way too much money over at Printique. Thank you for telling me about it. ✌️❤️
