  • It's one thing to love the specs of a camera, it's another to take the Canon R5 hands-on in the field on real wedding photography, engagement session, and full-day portrait photography.

    Here's my full take on the camera along with Q&A from the live session on my Instagram where this was originally filmed. I’m talking mostly about the Canon R5 for photography, not as much about video, since I’m a photographer I feel bettering doing a Canon R5 review for wedding photography specifically.
    Learn what Canon R5 can do for Weddings + Engagement + Portrait Sessions photography in this Real-world Review. A dedicated review after real jobs use.
    Hope you enJoy!

    Saw your review rather by accident and a good job you most certainly did. I used Canon for years (5D's up to the mk3) but because Canon was always lousy with noise and dynamic range I eventually got so fed up that I sold the lot and went to Fujifilm. Now at last Canon is clearly making a proper camera!! This is the camera I yearned for for years! Do enjoy it!

    To be able to change focussing method instantly you can assign two different buttons both with different parameters for back button focus simultaneously. Then just focus with the appropriate button for the type of focus you need.

    Seeing the reactions of the bridesmaids and wedding party when they saw the shots on the iPad was so much fun to see, I would be overwhelmed with joy at seeing such excitement for something I got to photograph, that is a wonderful idea. As a Sony convert from Canon, I'm back for the R5. It wasn't an easy decision but god do I love the image quality of Canon, without any of the fussing to get nice, warm skin tones. The feel of the camera and the RF lenses are the second reason. I'm keeping my Sony but I am loving my R5, and thank you for the super in-depth video!

      @@VanessaJoy RAW and iPad. I'm bumbling amateur in comparison but the events I shoot (team and sports events for 11-16 year olds with all permissions!) the members want near instant, tweaked photos for TikTok, Snap, Insta shares etc. I use the Apple SD card reader to quickly import into phone or iPad and then can edit, as you are right it takes ages via WiFi link. I then share via a cloud, airdrop, Insta or whatever. They won't wait until 2 days later for you to edit at your leisure!! But I still get a sense of satisfaction when a fast lens and decent camera does show it captures tricky low light/action shots much better than a million iphones all taking the same shot.

    @sylerp.r.9725 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for your thoughts! I had the same stumbling block with switching focus modes at first for different subjects, but what I’ve found to be useful is keeping servo on all the time and using the AF-ON back button for eye-AF and the star button for single-point. This is also useful if eye-AF is ever struggling because sometimes using the single point to get focus near where you want it and then switching to eye-AF can be faster (at least with eye-AF on wildlife).

    Tremendous video, it's so much more useful to know how a camera performs in real life, working situations. You have convinced me that I made the correct choice in ordering the R5 over other options. Your positive experience has made waiting for the arrival of my camera a little more difficult. No doubt these are difficult times for wedding photogs so I'll take this opportunity to wish you good health and much success.

  • @LeonardAguilar3686
    @LeonardAguilar3686 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! For your real world evaluation of this incredible camera. I consider myself a borderline professional photographer, more sports photography than portraits. And I am a loyal Canon camera user. But I am ready for an upgrade as well as expanding what I want to shot, portraits and wedding. The first spec I always look for when researching cameras is the FPS, then the file size. So, when the rumors for the R5 started, I figured this may be my next upgrade. After watching your review and getting your real world first hand experience with it, especially a 10 hour wedding shoot, I am sold! This will be my next upgrade! Thank you for your time and effort in making this video and your honest working opinion on the R5, as well as some tips when shooting an all day wedding event. I can't wait to get my hands on one to use, especially for my sports photography.

  • @maxanisimov
    @maxanisimov 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    About photographing things vs people with the R5 - you can still keep your AF in Servo with eye detection on, and then when you need to photograph some details just touch the screen where you want it to focus. It will lock on to that part of the object (at least most of the time), and so you can go back to looking through the viewfinder and keep composing and shooting that object as you wish! For me that's the easiest and the fastest workflow.

    Hands down after watching your review it absolutely sold me that this is my camera for diving. This is now the best camera on the market for diving period now. Your review the way you did it this time around should be your format. You are a wedding photographer and I am a underwater photographer. The way you explained everything with this camera. I was able to take the information you shared and apply it to my form of photography. I have to say that with the FPS and 45MP the R5 has the only thing the 1D MK III has over it now is maybe weather sealing. But this is the information we need and in a format we need to receive it. I can't wait to get the housing from nauticam for the R5.

    Thank you! Been waiting for this video since the new R’s were released. So impressed with so many aspects of these cameras and your workflow. Especially the day of transfer and editing for the wedding party! Will you post a video on your workflow for this? Are you doing it or is an assistant doing it? I find the whole process cumbersome to get the photos from camera connect to photos to Lightroom CC then edited and then onto the iPad. I’d love to see how you do it and hopefully I am adding unnecessary steps. Thank you! Cheers!

    Vanessa - Love your focus on photography with the R5! One thing to add to your answer on whether it's worth upgrading from the R to the R5 for stills: The viewfinder lag on the R was extremely frustrating for moving subjects, sports, marching band, birds, etc. I upgraded to the R5 and those lag issues disappeared! There are entire genres of stills photographers who would benefit by switching from the R to the R5!!! Keep up the great work!

I use face detection and when I need to make a photo of decorations or flowers I adjust the focus with the manual focus ring and adjust that little bit we need for the perfect photo! you can set the focus ring whenever you move it changes to manual! excellent video! success!!!

    Very nice review and tips. Thank you! After shooting with the camera, I’ve found that I like setting the control ring to select the type of AF and setting one of the back buttons to toggle between One Shot and Servo. I think that’ll help with your focusing needs going between eye and object quickly. :)

  • @sidvicious3129
    @sidvicious3129 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some will get hung up on your Ambassador status, I simply don’t care. You took your time, you were not trying to sell anything and you brought this out from a photographers prospective. You answered the questions and you were honest about not being a videographer. I know you mentioned this before in another video that your husband is. The low light performance is a game changer. The images were amazing, you are extremely professional as always and funny when you want to be (Jared Polin) video and heck if you did Canon proud by doing what you normally do, they are all the better for it.
    Your experience, more than qualifies you as a reviewer for this and the R6 based on your working knowledge alone and actual experience with the product. You did great. You never gave anyone the impression that you were getting rid of your 1DX mark III and you were honest that you are a Canon shooter only and you didn’t trash other brands.
    We need more of this type of style reviewing, more photos shown and less of trying to sell a product, but if people are influenced to buy, that’s between them and their wallets. I can’t wait to get out of this new normal and get back to shooting regularly. Here are my questions for you, is the low light performance similar with the R6 and how was it on a 10 hour day with that mask on or at least for part of the day, especially with the heat, I believe you said it was 100 degrees?

    • @VanessaJoy
      @VanessaJoy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is so thoughtful. Thank you so much!! Haha the mask wasn't fun but it was an outdoor wedding so I was able to take quite a few breaks from it when I was far away from people. :-) Low light performance is similar to the R6, but I feel like I enjoyed the way the R5 handled it more.

  • @cornishblue58
    @cornishblue58 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Vanessa. Enjoyed that. Very informative and interesting how you are finding the camera for your work. You mentioned using a different AF method to focus on something other than a person. I saw a video on tailoring the R5 to back button focus, with single spot focus on one button and eye focus on another, so you can easily switch between the 2. I’d have thought that would be perfect for your needs 👍

Your in the field experience with the R5 is all we need as potential buyers of this camera. Specs only tell you so much. I love your works. You just earned my subscription. By the way, that moment when your clients being blown away by your photos is priceless.

    Excellent review, Ms. Vanessa, are there any plans on you reviewing the R6 ? I'm curious as to how that camera holds up.

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING. the working photographer q&a were some of my questions. I do have one additional question. Which lens or lenses are RF and why did you pick those over the EF version?

    Thank you for answering the upgrade question about the R. You answered everything I wanted to know. I'm heavily vested in the R system, and I've barely had the R for two years. I haven't had any issues with it shooting weddings.

      I'm not a pro shooter but did do my nieces wedding using my R. I didn't have any issues either and for Landscape photos, the R was great.
      Now I have the R5 and experienced what the eye AF and higher FPS are like, I think the results would be even better, plus it makes life so much easier, with more flexible options around exposure and composition. I suppose the main factor is cost as it's not cheap.

      I am using an RP for weddings/events and it works great. I think people get really overwhelmed by tec this days and somehow think they always need the latest stuff to be professional enough. If you consider what we have today, cameras like an RP would have been unaffordable ultra professional cameras only a few years ago and are now just considered „entry level“. In the end, nope can actually tell a difference what you used for shooting (with maybe the exception of an R5 because of the pixel amount, but don’t forget that also means raw files are so big you will be crying once you import them to your PC after an event ^^)

    • @anonymouspdg6121
      @anonymouspdg6121 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Seitenwerk Totally agree with you as both the R & RP are great cameras and still have there place and can be effective if the user is willing to work with them to get the best results, as clearly you are.
      For me, it made sense to upgrade & I'm fortunate to be able to do so. Not everyone is so fortunate, or actually needs to to.
      I'm a big believer in 'if it aint broke dont fix it' philosophy so if your happy with the RP and get the results you want, it makes perfect sense to keep using it.

    • @gregshawphotography8828
      @gregshawphotography8828 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea, but does the R5 REALLY make your life easier? I would tend to think not. The R made my life easier as my previous camera was a 5D Mark II. Intend to keep my bodies 5 plus years before upgrading. Where the R helped me over the 5DII was my technology got old, and it was time. I had my work around for certain situations, but I made it work all the same. It became my backup when I got the R. I opted to get a discounted RP as my second body, and I’m loving it. I’ll get a R5 Mark II or something down the line probably.

    • @anonymouspdg6121
      @anonymouspdg6121 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      From your comments, it seems that the R & RP work for you and give you everything you need so your right, upgrading doesn't make sense at this point. However for me, although you don't think the R5 makes my life easier, I can categorically say it does, as although the R was great for stationary or very slow moving subjects, it certainly has problems with anything moving fast due to the EVF LAG / blackout and pretty low FPS when the AF servo is active. The R5's eye AF, 12/20FPS and higher EVF refresh rate solves all of these issues for me. As I said, it's not for everyone as it isn't cheap but I'm fortunate to be able to afford it.

    Free advice from a Sony shooter who's been using mirrorless for several years.Most cameras should give you the option to adjust the focus and brightness of the electronic viewfinder. Before you go on a photo shoot adjusted to your comfort level.

    Thanks for sharing, very interesting review and love that it’s from a real photographer doing real work apposed to most other reviewers, surely there is a custom button you can set to turn the face/eye detect on & off, I have set the for my Fuji and work quite well. Looking forward to more amazing reviews.

    A super, informative video, and fun the watch, too. Thank you!!! Note that C-RAW still shoots in full 45 MB resolution, but simply compresses the data. I saw a couple of videos by pro photogs who said they were unable to see any difference, so confidentally shoot only in C-RAW - not only less space, but quicker shooting and processing.

    34:43 DNG converter for Mac has been available since the first week of August. I have edited about 3k RAW and cRAW images from my R5 and no issues. They are large files and the process requires a couple extra steps, but it works.

  • @yikwanwong2898
    @yikwanwong2898 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    On my EOS R, you could set the “AF lock” button to change “direct AF method selection” and the “AF point” button to switch between one-shot AF and servo AF. So by pressing the 2 buttons, you would jump from eye tracking servo to single point focus. I’m not sure if that’s doable on the R5 but that’s what I would do.

  • @DmitryBrodsky007
    @DmitryBrodsky007 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video and I have r5 on order (mostly for birds with bird eye af). Re focusing on details - Sony has had an arguably better af idea for years on their a7/a9 series. You are in servo mode but can get any focus area plus face/af at same time. For example, you can have one point af set plus face detection. If face is anywhere in the entire photo it will focus on the face. If there is no face in the photo, it will default to one point af or whatever af area you picked. The face does not have to be inside the af area. This is the best of both worlds and Sony and Olympus had it for years. Canon, Nikon and Panasonic stubbornly only allow face detect in full area mode only.

  • @sols9449
    @sols9449 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    How did you find the other focus tracking and acquisition in a dark hall or a dark room with dancing for events like receptions. Would you choose the R5 over the R6 and deal with the larger file size or do you plan on sticking to the one the 1dxm III

    Set it to initial focus point under AF menu 5. Click on the top option, then in the next menu select “initial AF pt for (face) (box symbol). If you select this option the camera still does eye and face detect, you just have to push the shutter button halfway down. Also make sure to enable the joy stick and dials.

    It is refreshing to see a review of gear from a users' perspective. There are far too many gear heads online offering "expert" advice when they are really not that proficient. You can tell these posers because they do not have any good examples of output, and if they do, it is generally not anywhere near the quality of what you have shown. Nice work! You sound somewhat apologetic for not knowing spec's or focussing on technology-don't! Your strength is that you are a working professional and your success is your pedigree. Keep up the great work! Well done!
