Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Christ!!! So the channel's still going strong from the very aging 6D. . I am also an EOS R user. Glad to see you decided to use the same one.
I recently bought the Canon EOS RP, my first FF camera, and I am very happy with it, I also love the colors, sometimes I don't even need to edit my pictures. I fully agree with your review, on the RP there are two more things I don't like : It's sad that the shutter doesn't close on the RP like on the R (5:15), and the feature presented at 5:45 does not exist on the RP, but there's focus peaking (highlights on contrasting edges)
I brought EOS R in March, 2022 and I can charge batteries by USB connecting to computer. You need very good USB cable only 3 ft long. Longer cable drops the voltage at the end.
I recently tested the Fuji x T30, Sony aIII and Canon EOS R. I was impressed with Canon, the ergonomics are fantastic and the results in JPG are the best. I already ordered mine.
Doubt Canon will make the EOS R smaller in the future, and personally I think the size is perfect, or could be a hint bigger. Consider people still add grips for more to hold ... and the RP can be the tiny model for people with tiny hands.
@@christopherfrost Kodak's of competancy lead them to the graveyard. They decided to stay ignorant to the fact that people like things being done fast.
RIght now, I am charging my Eos R via the USB port, which is plugged into my computer's USB-C port. Works like a champ without needing to use Canon's expensive USB charger. It also works with my relatively inexpensive Anker PowerPort II wall charger. I think, when I first bought the camera back in Nov 2018, on firmware 1.0, it didn't do this. But since Firmware 1.1, it definitely charges via USB without the Canon USB adapter. EDIT: the little battery icon on the top screen now says full after being charged from my computer's USB-C port.
Finally a review that worth watching.. Explaining pros con, features on hand test. Unlike any other reviews only review spec(which i can check on web), body, duhhhh
I can't believe the timing. I ordered a Canon EOS R so I could dip my toes in the water of the mirrorless world. It arrived last night! I went with the EOS R since I am already a Canon shooter (7D and 5D Mark II) and discovered that I could still use EF lenses with this camera. The 5D Mark IV sensor and the compatibility with my other Canon gear (right down to the batteries) made it a relatively easy decision for me.
@@christopherfrost Thanks! I'm trying to figure out how I want to customize the buttons/settings. My 7D and 5D2 are set up pretty much the same way and I have to somehow translate that to the R. Still odd to me coming from a DSLR that the back display turns on when my face is off the viewfinder, wish there was a dedicated button to turn that on/off. So far I think I'll like the camera once I get used to it. Thanks for posting your reviews!
The things that I like is the lowlight AF and 1080p quality as that's all I shoot and deliver really. I tried a A73 the Z6 (I'm a Nikon shooter) and the R. I loved the R, it's just a nice camera to use.
Shot video with this camera for 5 weeks, and I love it. The lack of IBIS I manage to come around, and the crop will be fixed with the R2 in a couple of years. As you say yourself, the results is the best out there compared to other cameras with more specs. And that's the most important. In five years this new R-system will be proven the smartest move by any camera company in many many years
Christopher don,t you think the Eos is much nicer to hold and more "sexy" I have a couple off RF lenses with I really love , even my EF lenses perform better on the R. I am looking forward to your reviews on the RF lenses.
The moment i saw the 85mm 1.8 in that camera im already sold. I have L lenses but they are just too bulky. Chris i really like your videos. Im been a subscriber for years
Love my EOS R. Had it for about a month and my only gripe is that it has no IBIS. The rest of the stuff (one SD card slot) I can live with. Thank goodness for steady hands, I guess. For tripod work it's flawless though.
The USB charging works if I plug in my EOS R into my laptop's USB-C port or with my Anker PowerCore 20100 battery pack by using its Power Delivery USB-C port. You don't need the official Canon adapter as long as you plug the EOS R direcly into a USB-C port that can deliver enough power.
Newbie question. I was under the impression that if you're shooting RAW then you didn't need to worry about WB adjustment on camera. If adjusting WB on camera is so important then I'm guessing it can't always be adjusted satisfactorily in post processing?
It's really a personal preference. The philosophy of many shooters is to "get it right in camera", and therefore lessen the load in post, while many others subscribe to the "fix it in post" philosophy. There are pros and cons to doing it either way. For example, AWB will attempt to correct color cast based on what the sensor sees. That's not ideal when shooting a sunrise, or sunset. Setting your WB for a particular scene will give you consistency in color across all of your shots, where shooting in AWB can result in inconsistent color due to changes in focal length and lighting. As you stated, when shooting in RAW, all the color data captured by your camera is retained, therefore can be corrected in post. Again, it is personal preference. IMO, and in order to completely master and understand your camera, it should be learned regardless of whether you use it or not.
may I add eye AF is at close range only, only face AF if subject is further and not fill up the frame. Chris you are right to the points for Canon to listen, if not, as you said to the grave. Thank for coming back to Canon.
Mine is Canon's M6, and I also found it comfy to set Whithe Balance by rubbing Quick control Dial with my thumb. It's almost a year now. But I'm sure that Canon's a bit off when they place buttons on their cameras time to time. I'd like to expect to the next model would let me control functions more to my left hand. And maybe the Power Switch around to my right thumb or right index finger would work comfy for me. Also I'm not quite used to back side control dial yet, doesn't feel comfy to reach my thumb there. So I cannot tell whether it was good move or not to took that dial outta there. I'm just using it to adjust shutter speed and ISO value.
You don't need a bulky charger to charge EOS R, all you need is a charger that supports PD (should be common nowadays) and is able to out put 9V 3A. I read some people successfully charge their EOS R using that charger of the iPad Pro 11". However, you do really need a genuine LP-E6N battery.
I've heard that the R series support EF-S lenses through some kind of compatibility mode, but no review that I've seen has gone into detail as to the ramifications of this. It would be nice to see an in-depth video on the use of Canon EFS lenses and on crop-factor EF lenses from third parties when used with the adapter, including if there are any issues with still picture or video resolution, and how things like the 4K crop factor might be affected. Thank you for making videos about the camera and photography equipment rather than about yourself, by the way. The lack of narcissism is very much appreciated.
The issue with the Sony and Fuji colour could be the editor. There is a gigantic difference between Adobe and capture one for the Sony colour processing.
I’m buying one soon it makes me mad when people complain about the focus problem I get it if your using it for vlogging but if you really want to call yourself a photographer it’s not that hard to adjust the focus I always shoot this way
It’s a little disappointing to see that Nikon offers a 24mp full-frame mirrorless with IBIS, slightly less 4K crop, dual SD card slots, and charging on pretty much any charger for $300 less than the Canon R.
Hi Chris, many thanks! I purchased the RP which replaced my 6D. I’m very satisfied! It‘s very small and lightweight. If you have questions, please feel free to ask. I also got the adapter with the control ring. I’ve configured it with exposure compensation. Best wishes, Ralf
Nice Impression, totally agree with THAT COLORS. Do you know if the Canon Color like this is also the same with the APS-C Canon M50? Or does Canon make a difference there FF/APS-C? Is it compareable? Please anybody comment, Thanks
Welcome back to Canonland! Tell it as it is Chris, The sudden shut off after the word graveyard was epic! The RP has no top screen for 13 hundred quid. That finished it for me. They need to get the servo focusing right in burst mode too.
Haha yes I like to end my videos with dramatic effect! It's important for Canon to remember that NO business is big enough to be invincible on the marketplace.
Hi chris I use the imuto battery pack for usb charging of my canon rp you can get about 4 full charges out of 1 recharge in fact I don’t use mains charger at all mind you the rp battery life is pretty poor.
all agree aside from the size. The main complaint many have about sony cameras is its handeling. While it makes sense for consumer grade cameras to be more compact, professional level cameras should really be design for the best handeling. Perhaps EOS R could be a bit smaller since it is not targeted towards professionals, but i dont see their upcoming professional grade mirrorless to be any smaller.
I've tried the EOS R myself, and do quite like it for all the reasons you've mentioned. It's certainly something I'll look into in the future. Oh I do hope they don't make their higher end cameras smaller. That's the primary reason I found the Sony A7III to be completely unusable for me was due to the small and uncomfortable grip. I do enjoy the classic feeling of DSLR's, so I find the EOS R's weight and size to be quite good.
hows the sensor noise performance? the thing that made me switch from canon to sony was the low noise at high iso, even with my ancient sony nex 5 i can see the stars at night in video mode. just the controls, responsiveness and UI was allways better on canon.
Would you still recommend this camera in 2023 for landscape pictures? i am having a hard time deciding which camera i should get between a second hand 5D Mk4 or a new Eos R. What would you recommend?
@@dr.sommer5069 sorry to read your post but RF systems will have IBIS and 8k video in the near future, the RF lens is a prep for that system. As a photographer, large glass means more light and even better stats. When i feel like carrying a light system...i take out my Sony A6300. I've tested the Nikon, lens are excellent but RF lens were much better. btw the focus system on the Nikon was horrific
I would love an EOS R , 6d2 at the moment, have seen some great shots from Sony but have never had an interest in them, don't like the feel as i have bigger hands
@@teslar1 I mean, sure, why not. My point was simply that it's not really a solution. Needing to purchase an overpriced, proprietary charger from Canon or from Apple only highlights the misstep rather than softening the blow in any meaningful way. And great if you happen to have a recent Apple laptop, but consider that about 3/4 of the entire computing world uses Windows.
I guess some people still misunderstand the usb charging 😄 the usb charging works perfectly fine as long as the camera is turned off. some brands like Sony let you charge via USB while the camera is on but the canon cameras don't. you can also charge the Eos R with a Power Bank if it's a PD (power delivery).
Hi Chris great video. I have a EOS R also and I use a Anker 49.5W USB C charger to charge my batteries (has to be the N version LP-E6N), but I think any USB C charger with intelligent charging/power delivery will do it.
I have watched nearly all your videos of your Canon lenses with the full frame Canon 6D camera, the APS-C Canon 60D and the older Canon 500D. So I guess that you have many Canon lenses and the choice of the Canon EOS R is reasonable. What I don't like with EOS R is that it doesn't support the EF-M lenses. Probably the EF-M mount wasn't designed with full frame compatibility. E-mount and L-mount for mirrorless cameras was designed better and can use both APS-C and full frame native lenses. Also the Canon EOS R has a long flange distance and can't accept other manual or autofocus lenses for mirrorless cameras. The Nikon Z mount cameras had the advantage with a very short 16mm flange distance. With an adapter the Nixon Z mount cameras can accept manual focus lenses suitable for mirrorless cameras with longer flange distance. For example E mount lenses (18mm), L mount lenses (20mm), Micro 4/3 lenses (19.25), EF-M lenses (18mm), X mount lenses (17.7mm), NX mount lenses (25.5mm) or even the RF mount lenses (20mm). That is really impressive. Actually just a few day ago Techart company has officially announced an AUTOFOCUS Z mount to E mount adapter. Yes an AUTOFOCUS adapter which permits native Sony autofocus e-mount lenses on the Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras. Just check the TH-cam video for the Techart Pro TH-cam channel with the title: Introduction to Techart Sony E - Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter (TZE-01). According to the Techart website the Techart Sony E - Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter (TZE-01) will be available late June for 249 US$. Techart is already well known for allowing autofocus to the Leica manual focus M mount lenses on e-mount cameras. The Techart PRO LM-EA7 Leica M Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Autofocus Adapter is very innovative but a little expensive.
Hey Chris! Congrats on the new camera! I got an EOS R a month ago and was surprised about the USB charging as well, though I've found a nice solution! I ordered a multi USB charger for my phone and other tech gadgets, has QuickCharge 3.0 for my phone, 3 other usb ports, and most importantly - a USB C port with PD (Power Delivery), which means the EOS R could be charged with it. This means that when I'm at home and when I travel, I carry only one charger with me for all my devices, including for the camera. Just note that only LPE6N batteries are supported for USB-C charging, it doesn't work with the older LPE6 batteries. Not sure if links are allowed here so the charger is called (on Amazon US): USB-C PD Quick Charger， 60W 5-Port Quick Charge, QC 3.0 Fast Charger Desktop Charging Station, Compatible MacBook Air 2018, iPad Pro 2018, iPhone XS/Max/XR/X/8/7, Galaxy S9/S8 and More
@@christopherfrost Yes (sorry ive used my new account)been following you for years, thanks for your review of the 17-55 2.8 usm and 55 to 250 stm.I Dont regret buying it.
I do not mind EOS R's size, I think that's not important. But I prefer having a lighter camera to carry. I don't mind the lens sticking out a bit. I'd rather prefer if I can still use all my older EF lenses.
Great stuff man. I also have an A7R2 but the EOS R is tempting, especially with all the Canon glass I have. Canon is working on IBIS. If their next midrange RF body has it, and fixes the ergonomics, I might need to jump ship. Canon is behind on specs but their cameras are so nice to use and they render great images.
I am using the EOS too but I'm not switching to RF lenses anytime soon. Some questions though: time and time again people proof that resolutions arent what real photographers care about the most, especially when its over 20MP and unless you're trying to print everything out in massive prints, so why are you pointing it out so much? Next question is the size and weight, that size and weight is perfect for what Canon is offering, and I even have a battery grip with mine, I want the camera to feel something in my hand instead of the flawed ergo of the A7II
Resolution matters to me - I love landscape and wildlife photography, so being able to crop in to a high resolution image is very useful for me. If you're happy with the size and weight, then that's cool, that's up to you - personally I'd prefer something a bit lighter
Recently I shot on vacation with the Sony A6300 and the Canon 6D Mark II. Oh boy were the Canon pictures better in terms of color... But I still love my A6300 combined with Canon STM lenses adapted.
Hi Chris, i like your videos so much! It is a very interesting video. I have a Canon 6d i like it but the auto focus system is a little bit old. I'm planning to by a new camera for next year and a stay with the canon. What do you think which is the good choice 5d mkIII or Mk IV(much expensive OK, i may not need it) or the R? Mostly I use for wedding and event photography. I used with new L EF lenses. Overall: its worth to change 6d for R against 5d series - for work? Thanks for your answer!
I really don't get the size complaints, it's nice and neat and ergonomically sound, unlike Sony's toy-like cameras. It's a meaningless 'con' because it's more personal preference.
So is 'ergonomically sound' and 'toy-like,' as well as Frost's preference of Canon colors (vs the old Sony colors). A lot of pros and cons are subjective; if you disagree, that's great, but it doesn't invalidate his list.
@@MegaNardman I'm not the one doing the mini review though. Every other reviewer who's touched the R said it was possibly the most comfortable ML camera out there, and every where you look you'll see people moan about the shit ergonomics of Sony cameras. Weird that he's the only one complaining. I know Sony fanboys love to get butt hurt about everything related to their cameras as if they owned shares, but it's a fact, Sony's cameras are ugly and uncomfortable. They're not popular for those reasons, it's the output.
An awesome video as always Chris!! I want to upgrade from M50 to EOS R, and I’m not sure if it’s wise to buy the EOS R now, or wait until Canon releases its newer version. The last thing I want is to buy the EOS R now, and a couple of months later a newer version gets released. Anyone else is going through the same dilemma? 🤔
Great review. For travel I carry an Anker Powercore 26800 in my bag. Really u just need any unit with power distribution. That one is big enough to charge my laptop at the same time.
Thanks for the review. I have the a7iii bought in March. Was tempted for the eos r but think Sony are a way ahead on the Mirrorless range for the moment at least. It seems to be a good effort for Canon’s first full frame Mirrorless camera and the Mirrorless lens choices will catch up with Sony too soon I’m sure.
Chris welcome to the Eos R family ... Nice review as usual... You don,t need the canon charger ... I load the battery in camera directly on my MacBook Pro. And I use a simple phone charger that works to.
The A7r2 is significantly cheaper than the R, that means at least $500 cheaper in my locas dealerships. My local Sony dealership sells the R3 for $50 dollars more than the canon selling the EOS R, which would make them straight competitors, and the Sony win here is undeniable.
Hi - you have some Telelenses for the EF-Mount -> can you do a little test with an Adapter for this cam ..?? Why: I have some extreme nice Telelenses for Canon and use this at a Sony A7RIII - the AF is "ok" but at my EOS 1DX Mark II the EF ist faster (at a A9 the AF is slow, too) - so - i hope the new EOS R is better^^.
The autofocus using the EF-RF mount adaptor should be pretty much as good as you can get no matter what lens you can put on it - better than the performance using a Sony camera and adaptor
@@christopherfrost Ok nice - i saw you have an Sigma Tele from the Sports Series -> can you test some thing there ..?? . I hope the AF-performence is native like at a EOS 1D X II
Had the RP and returned it. Sensor way too noisy for a new camera. My M50 is cleaner at 100iso. The R is a much better camera. I ended up going with the A7III and absolutely love it. Way better than my last A7RII. Much better colors. I switched to Capture One and love the colors I get with it. Amazing program and never thought I would ever get away from Lightroom. I take pics of cars and the Sony is my favorite. Accurate colors. I would have went for the R if I shot portraits. I had the Fuji XT3 and hated the colors in raw. No matter which program I used, they were so far off. Fun camera though.
I personally prefer the massively better speced (insert any other major brand's competing camera). Canon uses their color science as a goddamn crutch to not upgrade anything else. You didn't do it in this review but I swear it is ridiculous the number of times that I have heard some reviewer talking about "It doesn't matter the specs of a camera. It matters what you do with it." as an excuse for Canon's constant flipping of their fingers at anyone who invests in their ecosystem.
I really like the EOS R, i don't think it's focusing is as good as the A7iii though. Don't really have a problem with the cameras size, I still have a 7D that I use ocassionaly for wildlife photography and it dwarfs my EOS R despite being an APS-C camera!
It’s rare to see a lens above $1K reviewed here, so choosing the EOS R to be able to review its collection of yet-to-be-released $2K to $3K lenses seems like a strange move here.
By the way everyone I love hearing all your experiences and thoughts about the camera (even those I disagree with) - keep those comments coming!
Would you review the Yongnuo 35mm 1.4?
Which is your favorite: EOS-R vs A7iii.?
Niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Christ!!! So the channel's still going strong from the very aging 6D.

Hi chris I use the imuto battery pack for usb charging of my canon rp you can get about 4 full charges out of 1 recharge in fact I don’t use mains charger at all mind you the rp battery life is pretty poor.
all agree aside from the size. The main complaint many have about sony cameras is its handeling. While it makes sense for consumer grade cameras to be more compact, professional level cameras should really be design for the best handeling.
Perhaps EOS R could be a bit smaller since it is not targeted towards professionals, but i dont see their upcoming professional grade mirrorless to be any smaller.
The size is quite a subjective thing, yes
I've tried the EOS R myself, and do quite like it for all the reasons you've mentioned. It's certainly something I'll look into in the future.
Oh I do hope they don't make their higher end cameras smaller. That's the primary reason I found the Sony A7III to be completely unusable for me was due to the small and uncomfortable grip. I do enjoy the classic feeling of DSLR's, so I find the EOS R's weight and size to be quite good.
hows the sensor noise performance? the thing that made me switch from canon to sony was the low noise at high iso, even with my ancient sony nex 5 i can see the stars at night in video mode.
just the controls, responsiveness and UI was allways better on canon.
High ISO is pretty good. Like I said, this wasn't really a technical review
Same sensor as the 5Dmkiv but for some reason it has slightly better performance on the 5Dmkiv
Would you still recommend this camera in 2023 for landscape pictures? i am having a hard time deciding which camera i should get between a second hand 5D Mk4 or a new Eos R. What would you recommend?
Thank you for this video - I feel the same way.
I had the EOS R and sold it for the Nikon Z6.
Believe me the Nikon is by far the better camera.
In what way?
@@michaelm1 the EOS R is better in manual focussing. In all other aspects the Nikon is the better camera.
as a photographer, i buy for the "Lens" not the body. So far, RF looks to be the future.
@@j.kimmer1509 huge, bulky and heavy lenses with stabilisers in then which are simply useless in a modern camera system which has IBIS. Weird future.
@@dr.sommer5069 sorry to read your post but RF systems will have IBIS and 8k video in the near future, the RF lens is a prep for that system. As a photographer, large glass means more light and even better stats. When i feel like carrying a light system...i take out my Sony A6300. I've tested the Nikon, lens are excellent but RF lens were much better. btw the focus system on the Nikon was horrific
I would love an EOS R , 6d2 at the moment, have seen some great shots from Sony but have never had an interest in them, don't like the feel as i have bigger hands
I charge my eosR with my MacBook Pro charger. It works perfectly
Ah, so the solution is to buy a $1300 laptop to get a compatible USB charger. Good to know.
Some of us a lucky enough to own one already 😀
@@teslar1 I mean, sure, why not. My point was simply that it's not really a solution. Needing to purchase an overpriced, proprietary charger from Canon or from Apple only highlights the misstep rather than softening the blow in any meaningful way. And great if you happen to have a recent Apple laptop, but consider that about 3/4 of the entire computing world uses Windows.
I just connect it via USB-C directly to my MacBook Pro ...
I guess some people still misunderstand the usb charging 😄 the usb charging works perfectly fine as long as the camera is turned off. some brands like Sony let you charge via USB while the camera is on but the canon cameras don't. you can also charge the Eos R with a Power Bank if it's a PD (power delivery).
Hi Chris great video. I have a EOS R also and I use a Anker 49.5W USB C charger to charge my batteries (has to be the N version LP-E6N), but I think any USB C charger with intelligent charging/power delivery will do it.
I'll check that out :-)
I have watched nearly all your videos of your Canon lenses with the full frame Canon 6D camera, the APS-C Canon 60D and the older Canon 500D. So I guess that you have many Canon lenses and the choice of the Canon EOS R is reasonable.
What I don't like with EOS R is that it doesn't support the EF-M lenses. Probably the EF-M mount wasn't designed with full frame compatibility. E-mount and L-mount for mirrorless cameras was designed better and can use both APS-C and full frame native lenses.
Also the Canon EOS R has a long flange distance and can't accept other manual or autofocus lenses for mirrorless cameras.
The Nikon Z mount cameras had the advantage with a very short 16mm flange distance. With an adapter the Nixon Z mount cameras can accept manual focus lenses suitable for mirrorless cameras with longer flange distance. For example E mount lenses (18mm), L mount lenses (20mm), Micro 4/3 lenses (19.25), EF-M lenses (18mm), X mount lenses (17.7mm), NX mount lenses (25.5mm) or even the RF mount lenses (20mm). That is really impressive.
Actually just a few day ago Techart company has officially announced an AUTOFOCUS Z mount to E mount adapter. Yes an AUTOFOCUS adapter which permits native Sony autofocus e-mount lenses on the Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras.
Just check the TH-cam video for the Techart Pro TH-cam channel with the title: Introduction to Techart Sony E - Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter (TZE-01).
According to the Techart website the Techart Sony E - Nikon Z Autofocus Adapter (TZE-01) will be available late June for 249 US$.
Techart is already well known for allowing autofocus to the Leica manual focus M mount lenses on e-mount cameras. The Techart PRO LM-EA7 Leica M Mount Lens to Sony E-Mount Camera Autofocus Adapter is very innovative but a little expensive.
Hey Chris! Congrats on the new camera! I got an EOS R a month ago and was surprised about the USB charging as well, though I've found a nice solution!
I ordered a multi USB charger for my phone and other tech gadgets, has QuickCharge 3.0 for my phone, 3 other usb ports, and most importantly - a USB C port with PD (Power Delivery), which means the EOS R could be charged with it. This means that when I'm at home and when I travel, I carry only one charger with me for all my devices, including for the camera. Just note that only LPE6N batteries are supported for USB-C charging, it doesn't work with the older LPE6 batteries.
Not sure if links are allowed here so the charger is called (on Amazon US):
USB-C PD Quick Charger， 60W 5-Port Quick Charge, QC 3.0 Fast Charger Desktop Charging Station, Compatible MacBook Air 2018, iPad Pro 2018, iPhone XS/Max/XR/X/8/7, Galaxy S9/S8 and More
Your back with Canon! Thank you so much!
I have been continuing in my Canon tests for a long time - TBH I've covered the vast majority of their lenses already :-)
@@christopherfrost Yes (sorry ive used my new account)been following you for years, thanks for your review of the 17-55 2.8 usm and 55 to 250 stm.I Dont regret buying it.
I do not mind EOS R's size, I think that's not important. But I prefer having a lighter camera to carry.
I don't mind the lens sticking out a bit. I'd rather prefer if I can still use all my older EF lenses.
seems like higher price goes with bigger size,
5D verse 6D
90D verse sl?
eos R verse RP
Great stuff man. I also have an A7R2 but the EOS R is tempting, especially with all the Canon glass I have. Canon is working on IBIS. If their next midrange RF body has it, and fixes the ergonomics, I might need to jump ship. Canon is behind on specs but their cameras are so nice to use and they render great images.
As far as I have heard the EOS R needs a charger with power delivery (live most modern laptop chargers are) to charge.
It uses ordinary lp-6 batteries from previous models.
Either a PD charger, or a computer with a dedicated USB-C port. Works like a champ. Does NOT work on firmware 1.0 though.
I am using the EOS too but I'm not switching to RF lenses anytime soon.
Some questions though: time and time again people proof that resolutions arent what real photographers care about the most, especially when its over 20MP and unless you're trying to print everything out in massive prints, so why are you pointing it out so much? Next question is the size and weight, that size and weight is perfect for what Canon is offering, and I even have a battery grip with mine, I want the camera to feel something in my hand instead of the flawed ergo of the A7II
Resolution matters to me - I love landscape and wildlife photography, so being able to crop in to a high resolution image is very useful for me. If you're happy with the size and weight, then that's cool, that's up to you - personally I'd prefer something a bit lighter
I understand your point as well, I'm just stating these since I came from the 6D as well and it felt much better to use and slighty lighter.
would you do reviews of old dslrs?
Nope - as I said in this review, I try to focus on lenses
I truly agree with you. Canon colour science is the best. Skin tone is perfect and the Auto white balance is always nailed
What about a7r2 vs Eos R in shadow recovery ?I am in decision to buy Eos R or a7r2...but still hard to make decision !
Great video!! I ended up going with the RP myself. Really looking forward to your reviews of the RF lenses.
The Canon 24-240mm lens is coming our way soon!
Do you have a link to a direct image quality comparison between those two lenses? Or is this comment based on speculation?
I'm trying to decide between the Canon 6D mk2, EOS R and EOS RP :/
EOS R.
What about a Panasonic S5 review?
Try the 40mm stm pancake with it, i think it'd be gorgeous!
Recently I shot on vacation with the Sony A6300 and the Canon 6D Mark II. Oh boy were the Canon pictures better in terms of color... But I still love my A6300 combined with Canon STM lenses adapted.
Oh nice. I get mine soon, looking forward to rf lens reviews!
Great Mr. Frost. I really like your TH-cam Channel und your Tests. I am to be exited of your RF-Lenstests in the future. Best regards from Austria
Changing it up a bit, always nice.
Did they fix the AF in continuous shooting mode?
Would have been very interested in the R system if it had a normal tilty LCD screen.
I do actually prefer the tilty screen
My R rocks thanks for the vid Chris.
Hi Chris, i like your videos so much! It is a very interesting video. I have a Canon 6d i like it but the auto focus system is a little bit old. I'm planning to by a new camera for next year and a stay with the canon. What do you think which is the good choice 5d mkIII or Mk IV(much expensive OK, i may not need it) or the R? Mostly I use for wedding and event photography. I used with new L EF lenses. Overall: its worth to change 6d for R against 5d series - for work? Thanks for your answer!
Personally I think mirrorless is the future, so I'd suggest waiting a little while and seeing what new options come out :-)
Thank you for this mini-review. If you upgraded from the 6D mark I to the R that means I should do the same right?
Not necessarily. But it sure is a nice upgrade hehe.
The A7Rii is 1500USD here in the states, cheaper than the R. Pretty astounding deal if you tell me.
It is just an amazing deal. The Canon autofocus, screen and colours are all better but apart from that...the a7R ii beats it all over the place
Awesome Chris! Can't wait to see some RF reviews.
I really don't get the size complaints, it's nice and neat and ergonomically sound, unlike Sony's toy-like cameras. It's a meaningless 'con' because it's more personal preference.
So is 'ergonomically sound' and 'toy-like,' as well as Frost's preference of Canon colors (vs the old Sony colors). A lot of pros and cons are subjective; if you disagree, that's great, but it doesn't invalidate his list.
@@MegaNardman I'm not the one doing the mini review though. Every other reviewer who's touched the R said it was possibly the most comfortable ML camera out there, and every where you look you'll see people moan about the shit ergonomics of Sony cameras. Weird that he's the only one complaining. I know Sony fanboys love to get butt hurt about everything related to their cameras as if they owned shares, but it's a fact, Sony's cameras are ugly and uncomfortable. They're not popular for those reasons, it's the output.
It has in-body digital stabilization for video. You've missed this.
There are a hundred different things I didn't cover here. That's why I called it a 'Mini-Review'
An awesome video as always Chris!! I want to upgrade from M50 to EOS R, and I’m not sure if it’s wise to buy the EOS R now, or wait until Canon releases its newer version. The last thing I want is to buy the EOS R now, and a couple of months later a newer version gets released. Anyone else is going through the same dilemma? 🤔
That's one of the great dilemas of photography!
Great review. For travel I carry an Anker Powercore 26800 in my bag. Really u just need any unit with power distribution. That one is big enough to charge my laptop at the same time.
Can you make a canon RP review? I think that camera it will be a good oportunity for some low cost photoguys haha
Hi Chris, can you please test Fuji xh1 ? What is your view on that.
It's only on very rare occasions that I do little camera reviews - I mostly just focus on lenses
love your camera reviews
Thanks for the review. I have the a7iii bought in March. Was tempted for the eos r but think Sony are a way ahead on the Mirrorless range for the moment at least. It seems to be a good effort for Canon’s first full frame Mirrorless camera and the Mirrorless lens choices will catch up with Sony too soon I’m sure.
Very nice christ move forward. Grow and grow more for more upcoming reviews.. Hope to see soon your medium format review.
Chris welcome to the Eos R family ...
Nice review as usual...
You don,t need the canon charger ... I load the battery in camera directly on my MacBook Pro.
And I use a simple phone charger that works to.
Have you tested out the new eye AF firmware yet? I just updated my EOS RP and when taking portraits it honestly feels like cheating.
I've updated my firmware but not really had a chance to use it yet for portraits. Everyone says it's great, though
there are news (or rather rumors, not sure) that they will issue a new EOS R (mark II i guess) with IBS
Yup, one day
7:30....wait what. You have to charge the lens by USB?
You're confused somewhere
I would choose the R over the A7R II if it was a choice of only having one camera tbh
The A7r2 is significantly cheaper than the R, that means at least $500 cheaper in my locas dealerships. My local Sony dealership sells the R3 for $50 dollars more than the canon selling the EOS R, which would make them straight competitors, and the Sony win here is undeniable.
Can't wait for your RF lens reviews
Google Pixel chargers, or MacBook Pro chargers work on EOS R. I think it just needs to be a proper USB-C with Power Delivery.
Hi - you have some Telelenses for the EF-Mount -> can you do a little test with an Adapter for this cam ..?? Why:
I have some extreme nice Telelenses for Canon and use this at a Sony A7RIII - the AF is "ok" but at my EOS 1DX Mark II the EF ist faster (at a A9 the AF is slow, too) - so - i hope the new EOS R is better^^.
The autofocus using the EF-RF mount adaptor should be pretty much as good as you can get no matter what lens you can put on it - better than the performance using a Sony camera and adaptor
@@christopherfrost Ok nice - i saw you have an Sigma Tele from the Sports Series -> can you test some thing there ..?? .
I hope the AF-performence is native like at a EOS 1D X II
Isn't the Sony a7rii $1500 in the US right now after the recent price drop?
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.
At least where i´m from (Chile), the EOS R costs $50 dollars less than the a7r mark 3... no brainer lol.
Plz do the review of the yongnuo 100mm f2
I've used for nikon body and it is really sharp lens but it has a bad halation. so I don't recommend useing at backlight photography.
Great wordings as always, thanks @Chris.
Had the RP and returned it. Sensor way too noisy for a new camera. My M50 is cleaner at 100iso. The R is a much better camera.
I ended up going with the A7III and absolutely love it. Way better than my last A7RII. Much better colors.
I switched to Capture One and love the colors I get with it. Amazing program and never thought I would ever get away from Lightroom.
I take pics of cars and the Sony is my favorite. Accurate colors. I would have went for the R if I shot portraits.
I had the Fuji XT3 and hated the colors in raw. No matter which program I used, they were so far off. Fun camera though.
I personally prefer the massively better speced (insert any other major brand's competing camera). Canon uses their color science as a goddamn crutch to not upgrade anything else. You didn't do it in this review but I swear it is ridiculous the number of times that I have heard some reviewer talking about "It doesn't matter the specs of a camera. It matters what you do with it." as an excuse for Canon's constant flipping of their fingers at anyone who invests in their ecosystem.
I really like the EOS R, i don't think it's focusing is as good as the A7iii though. Don't really have a problem with the cameras size, I still have a 7D that I use ocassionaly for wildlife photography and it dwarfs my EOS R despite being an APS-C camera!
You definitely need to review the rf50mm. It's superb
The bigger the lens the more superb it is.
Excelent short review, and great images too. Greetings from Brazil.
I really hope you don't just use this awesome camera for testing lenses. It's the most "usable" modern mirrorless camera imo.
damn... I'm waiting you to review all the new canon R series cameras and lens!!! can't wait
It’s rare to see a lens above $1K reviewed here, so choosing the EOS R to be able to review its collection of yet-to-be-released $2K to $3K lenses seems like a strange move here.
EOS R VS A7R3 quick review?
You you buy me and send me and a7R 3, I'd be glad to!
