Thing I appreciate about you, Manny, is your forethought and adaptability. That’s the difference in amateur versus professional photographers. Shape the light and use what’s around you. Getting complete strangers to follow instructions when they don’t have to. Love it. Nice work.
It is so awesome to see how the mirrorless tech is pushing more creativity now that people aren't bound to a tiny portion AF cluster on the center of the frame, being able to shoot wide open, with precision and in almost every part of the frame without recomposing!!! :) this is sooooooo cool! Beautiful shots Manny! I'm glad you are working hard to overcome your shyness Manny! Old Manny wouldn't have asked the couple to help with the shot!! Beautiful photos as always man!!!
I don't think it matters what camera system you use Manny. You and any other skilled photographer will be able to capture amazing photos with any camera system. It's great to see that Canon has improved their camera with the latest firmware to keep up with their awesome glass.
Not true, unfortunately. These shots would suck if they were taken on something like a T6 because of the horrible low light performance, even with low ISO.
Super dope to see you giving Canon another chance. I'm in the same bolt myself but trying to stay put while waiting for the unicorn A7SIII. I was getting bored with my A7III & almost jumped ship but I started playing around with flash photography & kinda sparked my love for Sony again. Winter & beginning of next year should be an interesting time. Looking forward to more videos with you & the canon gear. Really helps us all in getting a different perspective. Cheers
I completely agree with your thoughts on the improvements. They are enough that I actually bought an EOS R and so I can cover more of the RF lenses. I also agree on your ergonomic points at the end. By the way - your portraits in this image are just amazing. Stunning work, Manny.
@@The1Maywather the L series lenses as a whole have price tags non-photographers/videographers simply have to see to believe. Every time I look at the prices and the cursor accidentally hovers over the checkout button I hear the voices of my ancestors shout "No, child!" 😂😂
you will be glad to know that eye tracking also works on manual focus. So that means you can use focus assist with manual lens to get sharp eye focussed images.
I shot Canon for 14 years, switched to Sony for over a year with the a7iii and couldn't go back to Canon soon enough as soon as the RP got good eye AF and the price dropped to $999. Sony skin tones and colors are awful compared to Canon and Sony has nothing that comes close to the RF 50 and 85 f/1.2 portrait lenses.
Am I the unique EOS R owner loving the new Touch Bar? I really love it. Mine is set to change ISO very fast. 1-left-click for ISO100, slide to increase/ decrease value. Very handy.
Thanks for reviewing new firmware update from canon, many content creators are not reveiwing it because they dont want to upset their sony user fan base. But you are unbiased. Love from texas.
Not sure if you're aware of it, I don't think I've seen it on any of your EOS R videos, but if you look through the viewfinder and use your right thumb to scroll on the lcd screen, the right part of the LCD screen acts as a joystick. Hope that helps!
Great video - thanks, Manny! Great to see you give the EOS R another chance now that it’s had the firmware updates. Your honesty is refreshing. Most gear videos seem like a pitch for the company, rather than an honest opinion. I switched to Sony awhile back, and really doubt I’d ever switch again - but it’s nice to know what the other companies are doing in an unbiased way. Great job!
Lens is dope. My homie just let me try out the eye af on his EOS R and it's solid. I shoot a7iii and am used to those features. That lens price tho is insane. Great vid as always.
Great video Manny! Killer perspective using the moon-glass roof of the car and the passing couple! Curious about your thoughts on the Canon RP now that it has improved AF and 24fps in 1080p? I'm sure it's not something you'd reach for, but can't decide if I'd rather save the cash purchasing the RP and getting better glass, or just go for the EOS R. Asking as a hobbyist photographer and videographer, and hoping to up my game over the years. Cheers from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺🙏
Manny! You’ve inspired me to post filmmaking youtube videos on my channel. I really want to do this style of “follow my photoshoot” video. I think its a really great format.
Just goes to show that there are no bad cameras these days. No matter what you choose, whether it be from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, etc., everything is just so damn good now.
How are the jpegs out of the camera? Sometimes I don't want to spend so much time editing Raw files. My 5D Mk3 way over saturates the jpeg colors. I'm looking for a different camera with good jpegs out of the camera. I'm open to changing camera brands. Any suggestions?
@@anthonyc1883 the 5D Mk3 was an aberration when it comes to jpegs. Search the subject on the internet. You'll find a number of articles that talk about the 5D Mk3's over saturated jpegs. I actually had two Canons before the 5D Mk3, and yeah, the jpegs were fine. Not this Canon, however. The good thing about it, is it forced me to learn how to edit RAWs.
Video guy comin in clutch with the idea to use that sign for light. Looked so cinematic. And puttin those people in the shot was hilarious. Gotta love that haha excellent video brotha!
I received a Canon 5d iv camera last week, but a lot of people said I sell the camera and buy a better Canon R. Is it worth selling the 5d iv and taking the R, I hope you will answer me very confused?
Manny is the maverick on TH-cam because he always reaching,learning,and doing something different...Be thankful we have shooters that are not STUCK with only what they used to do in 1338 BC...
Really nice photos there. It's good to try out gear. Knowing what various cameras can do first-hand brings options to a photographer's toolset. The little details of equipment, like you were saying, such as if a camera tends to focus on the eye or eyelash is key to getting what's wanted out of a tool.
I am new to your channel, but I have seen your videos before and your content is good. I am also a photographer/cinematographer and growing myself. Love the content thank you for sharing. I have the Canon 6D Mark II. I grew up in Jamaica Queens. I live in NC now.
Hey, Manny, What is Your opinion about EOS R eye AF today, in 2022? Is it still worth the money for headshots/portraits? Your reply is greatly appreciated . Your long time follower.
Hey man great video as always. But could you please put the settings next to the pictures? As a new photographer it helps to see and learn from what the pro's are doing. Thanks! keep it up
Love your videos Manny. Very interested to see how the canon 85 holds up to the gmaster. I used that lens 90% of the time on the a7r3 and couldn’t fault it but decided to buy the xt3 for the film simulations, build quality and functionality. (Definitely the most enjoyable camera to shoot.) I also recently picked up the eos r with the 35 1.8 as I am very interested in the new L lenses coming out. Especially the smaller 70 200. What I didn’t expect was how good the files looked with a cheap 35mm. Much better then the Fuji and also the Sony in my opinion. My biggest gripe with the eos r is the control layout. I have customised the the Touch Bar for white balance and the dpad to move the focus points. I disabled touch and drag as I kept moving my focus point with my nose. It’s not a bad setup I just need to build muscle memory with this setup as I am a bit slower using this setup compared to the Fuji xt3 but the image quality is well worth it and I don’t need to use capture one which is a bonus for me. But my workflow for the fujifilm was shoot on cloudy white balance with flash and set colour to provia and I usually just converted to jpeg as everything was perfect.
Ok, so when I yell out "dang...dang...dang" three times out loud to no one in particular, you know you nailed it. Those ones with the orange sign with the reflection of the sunroof. DANG>>>DANG>>>>DANG!!! Manny, I notice your shelf with lenses in the back, I am wondering if you've ever done a studio tour and how you keep your gear arranged. I am looking to figure out a better way to store my gear. Would love to see a vid on that.
Mannnnnnnnnnn! I I did a portrait session and an event this weekend with the eosr. I brought after the firmware so I don’t know what it was hitting on prior. I shoot with the 15-35 RF L. I am blown away!!!! I also have a 5d mk4. I have owned a Sony a7iii, (sold it to buy the canon like a week ago) and boy AM I Glad I did!!! It pays to think for yourself!!! Hahaha. (It’s so much lust and pressure when watching reviews.)
Oh you mentioned the joystick or lack thereof...try using the touch screen for your autofocus...much faster than a joystick. Just takes some getting used to at first.
Sorry, Canon EOS R fanboy here. Since I last talked to you at ClickCon, talking about the error that you had with the EOS R in the last EOS R video you had back in June. Did you manage to get that same error again during the New York Shoot?
The eos R with the 15-35L has been crazy good for interiors. This lens is crazy sharp
Rodrigo love this combo for portraits too!
Thing I appreciate about you, Manny, is your forethought and adaptability. That’s the difference in amateur versus professional photographers. Shape the light and use what’s around you. Getting complete strangers to follow instructions when they don’t have to. Love it. Nice work.
That reflect on the car and the couple passing by the model in the middle? Man, you killed it 😍 Really dope!
@@marcg3923 haha yes!

This guy's composition skills are super impressive. Love your content man
Dude, you are seriously a master. Those photos look so good!
Thanks man
Duuuddde the way you used the sunroof! GENIUS
That was hilarious manny getting those random people to help you out for the shot
could be a bit more polite tho..
Great video Manny as always.thank you! Can you compare Canon EOS r with 85 vs Nikon z6 with 85 s and Sony with 85. thanks again!
Worth it for that shot though.
@@jevgenijbalezin agreed
@@nikanj it doesnt cost you to be polite, if someone would shout on you on a street and comand you, would you like it?
The photo quality is amazing ❤
The Fact that the pedestrians actually started taking direction orders instead of just moving on had me dead on the floor lol.
IKR was thinking the same!
That's how you know he's the mack. Game recognizes game, Manny!
That sunroof reflection shot is just amazing.
The reflection off the car roof shot was stunning, and so creative.
I completely agree with your thoughts on the improvements. They are enough that I actually bought an EOS R and so I can cover more of the RF lenses. I also agree on your ergonomic points at the end. By the way - your portraits in this image are just amazing. Stunning work, Manny.
I come back to watch this video every few months. The pictures are amazing
True but holy that lens is expensive! :D

Thanks bro. Huge fan of your channel

Such solid and candid content. Keep up the great work, Manny. I can't wait for the RF 70-200. Hope to see a review from you on it soon!
We are getting closer and closer to the day when we receive a TH-cam notification: "Manny Ortiz: I'm switching to Canon..." :D
Haha not happening
Maxim Horoshilov Maybe when canon can catch up with the competition
Exactly my thoughts hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa TeamCanon
I shot Canon for 14 years, switched to Sony for over a year with the a7iii and couldn't go back to Canon soon enough as soon as the RP got good eye AF and the price dropped to $999. Sony skin tones and colors are awful compared to Canon and Sony has nothing that comes close to the RF 50 and 85 f/1.2 portrait lenses.
Manny is always fun to have 2 systems!!!
touch and drag is so amazing, i could care less about having no joystick. The touch bar can definitely be replaced tho
Am I the unique EOS R owner loving the new Touch Bar? I really love it. Mine is set to change ISO very fast. 1-left-click for ISO100, slide to increase/ decrease value. Very handy.
Quay told me how hard u worked and I’ve seen some of your videos before but you slayed this photo shoot ❤️
Manny your opportunist technique to get fantastic shots is pure genius.
Random people yes you're part of the shot too. That one more time was hilarious!😂😂
That was cringey actually
Dope. I'm picking this camera up this week! Thanks for the positive review.
This looks so fun
Manny you have come so far! Well done! Get pics! Always helpful!
Thanks for reviewing new firmware update from canon, many content creators are not reveiwing it because they dont want to upset their sony user fan base. But you are unbiased. Love from texas.
Man, really really good shots. Very creative. And the images and colors are amazing. Great sharp quality.
Loved the subtle lighting, that 85 is gold!

I love my EOS R for nighttime shots, but I have to make do with the 50mm 1.2. Your photos were gorgeous.
Man I waiting for this machine this week. I'm supper excited.
Fantastic shots, man! You're sooo creative! Congrats! Felicitaciones!
Great video - thanks, Manny! Great to see you give the EOS R another chance now that it’s had the firmware updates. Your honesty is refreshing.

Manny, you're a badass photographer with an 85mm lens. Well done!!! The EOS R images also look fantastic.
I have the L 50mm 1,2 and the sharpness is absolutely epic, just needs more of a learning curb for most people.
Lens is dope. My homie just let me try out the eye af on his EOS R and it's solid. I shoot a7iii and am used to those features. That lens price tho is insane. Great vid as always.
Because they are the best lenses.
Yo Manny, you're one of the few TH-cam photographers that actually makes videos of him doing photography and I appreciate that.
Thanks man. Appreciate the comment 🙏
these portraits are phenomenal man , nice work
Great shots Manny !
Good shit man - love the videos that show off the firmware update performance.
Hey, Manny! Your game is getting stronger each day! It's really nice to see.
The amber sign shots were fire!
It's great to see that you got the green on her starboard side and the red on her port side.
Great video Manny! Killer perspective using the moon-glass roof of the car and the passing couple!

I'm feeling the EOS R and Tamron 35mm 1.4 combo. This video gave me the idea to get into the eye detect on my EOS R. THANKS!
Great video as always :)) it always keeps me entertained so I don't think about my medical problems ❤️thanks
Excellent video. I like you testing different gears and equipment, not just Sony. Nice! Keep that up!
It’s always great to watch your videos and learn 💯
Nice ideas to shoot portraits! You are good...you turned a gear video to an inspirational video... Thanks!
Dang, you are so knowledgeable, Manny. I'm glad I found your channel!

That 85 is SIQ. Great shots Manny!
Really like the photo session
My eos r has many hot pixels in 30 sec exposure iso 100, also high iso when lifting shadows. It’s extreme!
Keep these videos coming bru.. Muy bien Manuel, excelente como siempre.
Actually this video gives me a lot of inspiration on how to look for light ! Thanks!
Stunning images man , positively mind blowing , thanks
Really liked the photo where you told the two strangers to walk a little apart. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
Love the 4k, the higher bit-rate makes everything look wayyy better!
my dream camera right there
Dope shot with them waking by
Absolutely loved this video especially seeing the photos!
Nice photos. Love the lighting choices!
Great work, Manny
Amazing photos. Great video.
Are you going to review the RF85 F1.2 DS?
I loved how you directed the people who happened to walk in the shot 🤣🤣🤣... and they followed instructions right away!
love your videos man. by chance will u be doing any more reviews with the z6? for instance using the 85mm 1.8 lens?
