canon has been releasing beautiful glass for this system as well as great software updates, I can see their dedication to this system, may this continue in the future!
The best camera is the one you love and know how to use. Many hate Sony's menu and ergonomics but I had no issues. At the end of the day it's about the camera that works for you.
I think it's ironic that as much as you hate fully articulating screens, your pro workhorse of choice has one. Haha! I'll be spreading the rumors that you're actually a huge fan of them. ;) Great review as always! I love those winter images!
Great video and system. Want to buy into it next year. That shot of Gunpowder yawning/smiling had me smiling and laughing out loud. Have a great day mate and congrats on 100k
All this time I’m only just now finding out that the manual focus arrows only work with electronic lenses. This has been one of the primary features that has drawn me to this camera. At least I can always count on you to cover the important features.
Thanks for quality content, as always. Pretty sure I'll buy one this Friday. Been thinking about it for a year, borrowed it twice. It's not been a love at first sight kinda thing, but it's the best mirrorless that Canon offers.
I graduated from the 6DII to the EOS R (ie: plunked down the money) and I truly feel the image quality for me has been much better on the EOS R....or I've improved my skill level. Hmm.. It's been nearly a year since I got it and I absolutely love it. I can't really even think of a negative about it.
Got EOS R, a week ago. Enjoying it. My only complain is, that the camera isn’t snappy enough. Face and eye AF, EVF-screen switching, image review after shot, all have a little delay. I sold my 5D III, to get EOS R and I am glad I did so. Especially AF accuracy, is what makes me smile. I hated my 5D, for so many out of focus photos.
Ive never really noticed it being slow. I guess I find it decent and comparable to most cameras but slower than the once I find to be extra snappy. My Leica CL comes to mind as one of the faster cameras Ive used.
I agree. If you ever had a Sony realtime eye autofocus - everything else is slower. I´m not a fanboy of Sony. Having some other cameras of other companies. Sony do have other weaknesses. But if you are concentrating on focus - this is the best at the time, really.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter When you say that the R's focus is very fast, are you referring only to acquisition speed? Because the huge test of AF is how fast it captures subjects moving all around, and not in just a gentle, straight line walking toward the camera like so many reviewers test (not saying you are one of these reviewers). I'm a news and events shooter and I've tired the A7III and the R. The Sony's AF was moving all over the viewfinder, edge-to-edge and top-to-bottom, nailing everything. The R didn't do as well and it belonged to a fellow news photographer who had the firmware update done and knew how to dial in the AF for best performance.
Most underrated feature for me in the dust protection. In every camera review video there is noticeable dust on black bodies - and then most of them place the camera on its back without a lens and talk about it for several minutes. It makes me want to scream. Gorgeous images as always.
Canon's Revolution is going very well with their new lens and possibilities are through the roof with sensor stabilization and so much more. Been enjoying mine for over a year also, 35 f/1.8, 24-240 RF and Tamron's 90mm f/2.8 macro for now.
I'm just shocked you've been shooting with one this long and did it all with one card slot. Amazing. Moreso than full-manual shooters in the world in my mind... :)
@@gearreallydoesntmatter I find it a bit warpy combined with the slow readout in movie crop mode but I agree David that it's sweet in full frame mode. curious to know which lenses other R users are employing to benefit both modes of this split personality camera, my current fave is the image stabilised EF 24 2.8 IS USM - a very sweet spot of 42mm in movie crop, and handy for a spot of selfie
Great video review. Recently ditched my Z6 for the EOS R and the canon with its minor quirks is definitely a better performer in terms of autofocus and glass selection. Love the 24-105 rf.
Hi Mark, I’m a stills shooter only. Originally had the A7iii for 16 months but didn’t like the ergonomics of the camera so traded it for the z6. Initial honeymoon joy soon changed when I realised the native glass selection was dire and the auto focus performance worse than a 5 year old entry level dslr. No consumer zooms etc, so I tried out the EOS R with the 24-105 and 35 f1.8 lenses and wow, it meets expectations in terms of glass, and is far superior to the z6 in autofocus performance. General and eye tracking etc. More rounded camera. Better ergonomics.
@@roboHare73 thanks that's very helpful - I think the R will be my choice and I'll be moving from Nikon to Canon. My only concern is the dynamic range on the R - l looked up a comparison between the R and my D750 - the Nikon has nearly a stop more DR and it's a 4½ year old camera. It's a concern as there are jobs I use every ounce of DR at my disposal.
I haven't used it but I would be happy to use it. Maybe I would be looking at the 6Dmkii instead, but like I said, haven't used it so I can't say for sure.
The RP is pretty good actually and the price is tempting but if battery life is very important to you then 6DII/90D can be other options. RP's battery life isn't that great since it's technically using the small battery from Rebel series compared to R which use bigger batteries from 5D/6D/90D series.
As a professional photographer/film maker you should see these as tools to do the job & not get hung up on brands. We use Sony a73's/a7r3's & 5d4's. Recently sold our remaining 5d3's and got the eos r and have absolutely no regrets in doing so. The eos r has some shortcomings just like other brands/models but its got far more good in it.
Great video as always! Just a quick question, what do you think about the IQ of the Canon RP, compared to the R and 6D mark II, your favourite? Tks in advance :D
Finally someone says Canon picture profiles are great. Shooting with my trustable eos 60d, I preferred the Ectachrome, but there are hundreds more, set up by Canon enthusiasts. Here's the good news: you can load every profile into your Canon, even if the cam is 6 years old. Now try this with your Fuji 😥😢
Rainer Büsching I’ve been shooting canon for about 5 years and JUST figured out this can be done. The program as vastly more versatile and customizable than my fuji as well. I’m really enjoying it.
you can get more than 150 picture styles here: cinescopophilia.com/download-the-vw-updated-154-canon-dslr-picture-styles-picture-profiles/ (I just downloaded the .zip files and at a first glance they look trustworthy. But you can send me an email 2 rainer(dot)buesching(a t)gmail(dot)com and I will send you what I've got and have used on my 60D.)
I switched many month ago from 5dm3. I have to tell You, when I came back from first holidays in Gran Canaria done with EOS R - I was really shocked. The sharpnes and image quality is really totally superior to 5dm3. Recently started to do first videos - quality is incredible, perfect and vivid colours right from the box. And the sharpnes is on a different level nothing to compare with my old camera. I really doubt if I will have to use C-LOG the picture is so beautyful. However there are two issues first of all the CROP. Looks like another 2.500 EUR investment into canon RF wide lens to use them for 4K shooting. Then if I remember well there is no 4k60P. No 4k60P in 2020 is really a bad joke, but considering the picture it delivers, I am still 100% happy.
I have been watching your videos for almost 3 years now OMG. Your sense of photography and review is seriously awesome IMO. Btw Gunpowder is also a great model too hahaha
The EOS R cameras don't really work for me features-wise (mainly regarding video), but when I rent one for stills-only shooting it's always tough sending it back. The ergonomics and general purpose usability are just superb.
Well Mattias, I know a lot of your videos. The Canon is a Swiss knife in your hands. But you should try a Fuji XT 3 or XT 4 also, because it fits more to your personal taste of a smaller camera system. I ve got an XT 20, X - H1, XT - 4 and a Canon R. I just love them all !
@@gearreallydoesntmatter thanks for the reply. i am an appreciative subscriber. having a 5D that i use every now and then, i'm tempted to pickup a more current canon body for stills only.
@@keithrjoseph9528 What the Sony is seriously excellent at is AF. I'm a news and events shooter and the eye-AF of the A7III dances all over the screen to track moving subjects, edge-to-edge and top-to-bottom. I've used the R and it doesn't do the same as well, at all. And the R had the firmware update and was set up the right way for AF by a fellow news shooter. He has his dialed in as best as it will get. Put the A9 into the equation and forget about it. The AF performance of that camera is crushing.
Hey Mattias! I have a question for you, have you ever used/owned Nikon 58/1.4G? It's a very special lens, thats probably as underrated as it gets right now (mostly because it was very expensive and not technically perfect when it came out). I thought it might be a good subject for you review, because it definitely suit your style ;)
BTW, in the "best image quality" video you told you preferred the EOS 6D mkII to the EOS R (but you keep the second because of other reasons). can you please tell us what you think is changed between the two image processing system? Thanks
Yeah this would be me ideal all-in one camera at this point. Bit out of budget still for me. I am thinking about the RP instead. Have you tried the RP? Would you recomend it? It is considerably cheaper then the R still.....
Hi Mattias, does the digital image stabilistation crop affect the resolution and video quality in the same way as it does on the 6dmk2, I've read about but can't find much regarding this thanks!!
What about the "color science"? I heard that they changed it on the R cameras? I tested the Canon M6 (which had beautiful colors) and the M6 Mark II (which had boring and dull colors), don't hope its the same with the R cameras
Hi mattias,another Brilliant video. I was just wondering out of the fuji x70, canon eos 5d mark i and the fuji xf10, what do you think is the best camera? Thanks
How does it compare with the Nikon DF in terms of image quality? I know the DF is a bit dated, but I love that camera. The EOS R has me curious though.
Very nice review. I also have my EOS R for more than a year now since I preordered it. However, I still couldn't use RAW shots, and got the DNG software failed to download. May I know your editing software for your CR3? Thanks!
Mattias, your reviews are insightful, and images beautiful. You mentioned that you liked your 6D Mark II photos even better than those on the R. Since the sensor of the R would be thought by most to be better, can you explain? I am interested in buying one or the other--strictly for photos. Thanks!
Hi, what do you think regarding video quality when considering moving from 5d3 ML Raw to Eos R. I loose 14bit Raw and get 8bit internal instead. Autofocus, especially head and eyefocus looks very tempting. Extra stabilisation is also nice. I am I going to regret loosing raw colours? How do you find sharpness (seen 10bit external is better than 8bit internal but that’s expensive and cumbersome for personal use). Is 4K crop 1.7 plus crop in post to 1080 making it similar to ML zoom feature. ML is 3x, Eos r 4K would be 4x? I’m shooting for personal use, often spontaneous and focusing on fast moving kids is not easy in manual focus. Though I mastered raw post processing and is no problem for me (workflow, cards, storage, computer). Can’t see any comparisons with raw online. Please help.
Mattias Burling 5d3 is center crop. I meant 1.7 x 2 as 1080 center part from 4K. I picked R on Black Friday deals. Tried AF is the store and looked awesome. I’ll play side by side and see.
Hi Mattias! Thanks a lot for the review with the nice Gunpowder pictures! Do you have the Canon RP, too? It features the sensor of the Canon 6D Mk. II. I’m very happy with that camera. When traveling to my daughter in Austria, I use it with both my Canon EF 2.0/35mm USM IS and Canon EF 2.0/100mm USM lenses, which are very affordable and the control ring mount adapter. Best wishes, Ralf
I've had my EOS R for about six months and love it! Ergonomics and photos quality is top notch. Has anybody had any trouble with the shutter assembly? About two month's in the camera stopped working and had to be sent in to replace the shutter.
Mattias, great video as alway. i like the camera but the native lenses are super expensive. im looking to get in a new system and i know that the first lens will be my favorite focal length, the 35mm. which one would you suggest ? canon eos r/rp with 35mm 1.8, fuji xt-3 with 23 1.4 or canon eos 6d2 with 35 1.4l ( old version) ?
the problem is tha you lose the reason to have a mirorrless when you habe so big lenses. id love a camera with small bright prrimes that dont cost a fortune and dont weight 1kg.. thats the only thing that bothers me on canon otherwise they are excelent
@@georgioszisis491 Mirrorless lenses is only smaller if the sensor is smaller and/or the lens is slower. So no, you don't have a bigger system with EOS R + EF glass, it's the same size or smaller.
Hi, Mattias Thanks for all reviews and usefull videos🙏🏻 I have been using mostly fujifilm gears and i am so happy for still altough i would like to have an other system for videos with great autofocus and image quality.I ll be using it filming my tattoos and mainly my twin🤣 So i was thinking to go for Canon Eos R but i heard news about new cameras such as R5 and R6 , so as i always trust your opinion my question is ; Do you think is it worth to wait for R5-R6 or should i go for Eos R straight away? You know Eos R was the first gen and usually second generation is better. Thanks in advance, keep safe🙏🏻
I want the 50 or 85 RF so bad, but sooo pricy and having shot with the EF version I'm not sure there is enough difference. I love the R more than most camera's I've owned. I also shoot Sony and Olympus.
I had to chose between Nkon Z6 and EOS R back in the day, and decided that Z6 was more photography kind of camera, always thought the Canon R was just a 5D without a mirror. But lenses came (canon always do it) and they are amazing, besides, canon also release new firmware updates with better AF stuff... I kinda regret going Nikon :(
I am very curious to see you trying the Sigma fp... I think it's a very underestimated camera for stills ! Great colors and compact size, you could like it... 😉
@@gearreallydoesntmatter The big downside is the flash sync at 1/30s max... I didn't mean that you should buy it for pro work or else, just try it... To me, it looks like a full frame Ricoh GR on many aspects (but maybe it's just me). That's why your opinion on it can be interesting to have !
Hello, thanks for your videos. I'm thinking to upgrade my canon m50, I'm between eos r and xt3 or xt4. I do portraits and kids action and need better low light performance than that of m50. Thanks in advance
Having sold the R now, are you looking at all at any of the other current models from the other brands? I had thought a few of the new Leicas might be interesting to you.
canon has been releasing beautiful glass for this system as well as great software updates, I can see their dedication to this system, may this continue in the future!
The best camera is the one you love and know how to use. Many hate Sony's menu and ergonomics but I had no issues. At the end of the day it's about the camera that works for you.
Can you upload some raw files?
Haha, for me the best camera is the one I can afford.
Yes! I found the handling on A7III far better than on Xt-3, whereas lots of people bash Sony
The Canon Eos r was behind the sony A7riii but with the update I do believe they neck and neck. Just order mine on Black Friday.
@@waynosfotos Depends on what features one value. The A7 line still haven't been able to put in a top display..
And here I am still shooting with my 5D Markii 😃. Love your images and video content. Always a pleasure sir 🙏🏽
Jose Ceja nice to know someone still shoot with 5D mark ii.
Me too 😊
Same, although mine overexposes by like 1 1/3 stops which is kindof annoying

I'm getting mine this week!! SO EXCITED

What deal did you get on it?
How much??
I bought 2 from them after receiving a special private offer from Canon (I buy a lot from them). It was a no brainer. Hope you enjoy it!

Mattias, would you recommend the RP for those who can't afford the R?
Thinking the same thing, I like the form factor and the weight of the rp, amd of course the price.
but is image quality is comparable to eos r?
I would like to know as well
I haven't used it but I would be happy to use it. Maybe I would be looking at the 6Dmkii instead, but like I said, haven't used it so I can't say for sure.

Agreed, Not an easy decision.
Hey Mattias have you shot any medium format film?
Yes, lots of it. It appears in a couple of my videos as well.
compared this and x pro 3, which one is better and got sharper image?
Sharpness depends in the lens you use not the camera. The rest is just personal taste.
Hi Mattias, does the digital image stabilistation crop affect the resolution and video quality in the same way as it does on the 6dmk2, I've read about but can't find much regarding this thanks!!
It crops but such a tiny bit that it's totally negligible.
One year in love with my canon EOS R.
What about the "color science"? I heard that they changed it on the R cameras? I tested the Canon M6 (which had beautiful colors) and the M6 Mark II (which had boring and dull colors), don't hope its the same with the R cameras
Watch my initial, review, I believe I mentioned there.
Matias what is your normal job - profession?
Hi mattias,another Brilliant video. I was just wondering out of the fuji x70, canon eos 5d mark i and the fuji xf10, what do you think is the best camera? Thanks
How does it compare with the Nikon DF in terms of image quality? I know the DF is a bit dated, but I love that camera. The EOS R has me curious though.

Soooo... You like the DF better? 🙃
The image quality yes. But I use an EOS R for all my pro work with no intention to switch. Because sadly the perfect camera doesn't exist :)
I'm picking up what you're putting down. 😉
Very nice review. I also have my EOS R for more than a year now since I preordered it. However, I still couldn't use RAW shots, and got the DNG software failed to download. May I know your editing software for your CR3? Thanks!
Lightroom.
Would you recommend the Canon RP?
I haven't used it so I can't say. But to me it seems like a very good camera for the money.
Watch Andy Tran review on the RP.
This video is about the Canon, but that first BMPCC4K footage you showed was amazing
I would've bought one if it easily did stills and had flash sync.
Mattias, any thoughts on the xf-10? Thanks! 🙂
I have a video on my channel.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter yeah, but are you going to make a review on the xf-10 alone, like you said? :) but if not, it's fine.
Mattias, your reviews are insightful, and images beautiful. You mentioned that you liked your 6D Mark II photos even better than those on the R. Since the sensor of the R would be thought by most to be better, can you explain? I am interested in buying one or the other--strictly for photos. Thanks!
Hi, what do you think regarding video quality when considering moving from 5d3 ML Raw to Eos R. I loose 14bit Raw and get 8bit internal instead. Autofocus, especially head and eyefocus looks very tempting. Extra stabilisation is also nice. I am I going to regret loosing raw colours? How do you find sharpness (seen 10bit external is better than 8bit internal but that’s expensive and cumbersome for personal use). Is 4K crop 1.7 plus crop in post to 1080 making it similar to ML zoom feature. ML is 3x, Eos r 4K would be 4x? I’m shooting for personal use, often spontaneous and focusing on fast moving kids is not easy in manual focus. Though I mastered raw post processing and is no problem for me (workflow, cards, storage, computer). Can’t see any comparisons with raw online. Please help.
There is no extra crop, it's x1.7 only. I would download some clips and try editing to see what it's like.
Mattias Burling 5d3 is center crop. I meant 1.7 x 2 as 1080 center part from 4K. I picked R on Black Friday deals. Tried AF is the store and looked awesome. I’ll play side by side and see.
Hi Mattias! Thanks a lot for the review with the nice Gunpowder pictures! Do you have the Canon RP, too? It features the sensor of the Canon 6D Mk. II. I’m very happy with that camera. When traveling to my daughter in Austria, I use it with both my Canon EF 2.0/35mm USM IS and Canon EF 2.0/100mm USM lenses, which are very affordable and the control ring mount adapter. Best wishes, Ralf
Hello Ralf,
No I haven't used it yet. But I will as soon as I see a cheap one in a used add. It will happen sooner or later :)
Using this camera for three years now. So far so good. No need to upgrade to R5 as I don’t take vedio.
I've had my EOS R for about six months and love it! Ergonomics and photos quality is top notch. Has anybody had any trouble with the shutter assembly? About two month's in the camera stopped working and had to be sent in to replace the shutter.
Mattias, great video as alway. i like the camera but the native lenses are super expensive. im looking to get in a new system and i know that the first lens will be my favorite focal length, the 35mm. which one would you suggest ? canon eos r/rp with 35mm 1.8, fuji xt-3 with 23 1.4 or canon eos 6d2 with 35 1.4l ( old version) ?
The R and RP both support EF glass with native performance. You won't find a more affordable lens line than that.
the problem is tha you lose the reason to have a mirorrless when you habe so big lenses. id love a camera with small bright prrimes that dont cost a fortune and dont weight 1kg.. thats the only thing that bothers me on canon otherwise they are excelent
@@georgioszisis491 Mirrorless lenses is only smaller if the sensor is smaller and/or the lens is slower. So no, you don't have a bigger system with EOS R + EF glass, it's the same size or smaller.
Thank you Sqarespace, I watched until the end ;) ;)
I'm also very happy about my choice! Love my EOS R :-)
Why do I want one this week???
Always a sane, well balanced personal view. May the sun shine for you in your Swedish winter (but please, still convert to BW)... :)
What about the battery life? I hope it ist not that Sony bad. ^^
Its good in my experience.
Mattias Burling Thanks for your answer.
Any plans to test the Sigma fp?
Not for now.

Hi, Mattias
Thanks for all reviews and usefull videos🙏🏻
I have been using mostly fujifilm gears and i am so happy for still altough i would like to have an other system for videos with great autofocus and image quality.I ll be using it filming my tattoos and mainly my twin🤣
So i was thinking to go for Canon Eos R but i heard news about new cameras such as R5 and R6 , so as i always trust your opinion my question is ;
Do you think is it worth to wait for R5-R6 or should i go for Eos R straight away? You know Eos R was the first gen and usually second generation is better.
Thanks in advance, keep safe🙏🏻
I want the 50 or 85 RF so bad, but sooo pricy and having shot with the EF version I'm not sure there is enough difference. I love the R more than most camera's I've owned. I also shoot Sony and Olympus.
I would buy the EF versions and the control ringed adapter.
I had to chose between Nkon Z6 and EOS R back in the day, and decided that Z6 was more photography kind of camera, always thought the Canon R was just a 5D without a mirror. But lenses came (canon always do it) and they are amazing, besides, canon also release new firmware updates with better AF stuff... I kinda regret going Nikon :(
I think, if you want medium tier glas, Nikon is currently better. Compact, super sharp and well priced. Not everybody can afford a 2k lens.
eos r or eos r6?
I am very curious to see you trying the Sigma fp... I think it's a very underestimated camera for stills ! Great colors and compact size, you could like it... 😉
No mechanical shutter is the deal breaker for pro use and I'm not really looking for a new recreation camera right now. But I'm sure it's great.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter The big downside is the flash sync at 1/30s max...
I didn't mean that you should buy it for pro work or else, just try it... To me, it looks like a full frame Ricoh GR on many aspects (but maybe it's just me). That's why your opinion on it can be interesting to have !
Yes, but to try it I must first buy it. Playing with it in a store isn't enough imo to form an opinion.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter I was more thinking about renting. But except maybe in the US, I think it's not that easy... and cost money too.
Hello, thanks for your videos. I'm thinking to upgrade my canon m50, I'm between eos r and xt3 or xt4. I do portraits and kids action and need better low light performance than that of m50.
Thanks in advance
another good review and of course plenty of spotlight on the star of the show gunpowder 😂
Wow you know what I am the second person watching this video and I just love that.
I guess I was first :)
Have you updated the firmware to v. 1.4? Gets even better!
I have, didn't notice any real difference tbh.
I know it's all personal preference but I do prefer this over the A7III..
Having sold the R now, are you looking at all at any of the other current models from the other brands? I had thought a few of the new Leicas might be interesting to you.
I've already bought a Leica CL.
Faithful is my favourite profile too :)
No regrets using adapter with nd filter built in.
