Peter your still the man 🙌 love how you can drop your video later then everyone else and still kill it in the views... it's a testament to how likeable you are. Stay the wonderful positive person you are dude 🙌
It is incredible having this many features for $2500. I make my whole living as a videographer and photographer using an R6 and 5D4, now you can get allllll these pro features for just $2500. Even 5 years ago it was unfathomable to have all these features for like less than 5-7k. If you are just starting as a creator, any camera made like 2018 or later is viable, at this point the newest cameras pretty much have everything you realistically need for most jobs, and more
Yes, but the 5D MKII, just to be clear, was like $2700 new in the US upon release. Perhaps he was referring to fully kitted with lenses battery grip, etc.
As some one who is just getting into video work mostly, and mostly studio work. I've been eyeing up cameras for a while now. I truly go between cannon r7 or r6, any black magic designs, a sony fx30, and z cam. I like that they have a full sized hdmi port, and better recording specs, and have pretty munch unlimited lend choices.
With the R5 you can customize the FN button to make it where you can switch between photos and video mode with a click of one button. It works really well and I use that all the time with wild life and weddings.
i'm still on a 5dmk3. as of right now, if i am a photographer but want to learn videography and have a camera i can grow into, do you think the r5 is still the best right now? i was also looking into the sony a7rv.
@@tau_tv I started on 5D iii and the R5 is 1000 times better. I feel like the R5 is the best hybrid camera out there. The video is great and so are the photos. If you want a better video then go with Sonny. Canon glass is better than Sonny's but more expensive.
@@tau_tv Owned 5dmk3 for 6 years, switched to R5 (and R6 as backup) a year ago. Never ever going back to DSLRs :) Thought a while about Sony, but took a test ride and realised that I'm not ready for totally different menus and overall different work organising
I appreciate your candor pointing out that for hobbyist photographers this camera is probably overkill. I am mostly a hobbyist and I shoot a few paid gigs here and there. I currently have an R6 that I saved up for a long time to buy, and even though I would love to get this MK2 version the realty is my camera does everything I need.
@@JoePrimmerEditor I love Canon cameras, but that company cranks out bodies like no other. I'm only a hobbyist myself these days, so now I'm hoping the original R6 will get a discount :-)
@@JoePrimmerEditor I know I hate this feeling. Always makes you feel like your missing out. When in reality for most your not. Now if you me a Pro and some things can make your life easier or more competitive then I understand. But I have to accept what I have and appreciate it
@@briangilstrap5244 All of those mpg and emissions regulations killed vehicles on the lower end of efficiency but the highest level of enjoyment. Excursions were beasts that lasted forever.
In 3 years the original 5D will be 20 years old. That was my first big time camera as well and I bought mine used with a 35L. What an amazing camera that was.
I love the prospect of a Stills / Film switch, fantastic. And to be able to record for 6hrs, as opposed to 30mins, is great. But I’m not a pro, simply a mere amateur, so it goes into the ‘don’t need it, hard to justify, perhaps one day’ box. But it is great that it exists and is out there ….
Current RP shooter who's spending most of my money on higher-end lenses atm rather than upgrade the body and not lenses. But I've almost got the lens library that I want. So I was planning on bypassing the R and R6 when upgrading bodies and going for the R5 even tho it has more than what I need. This new R6 Mark II has everything I want in a body and saves me quite a lot of money as well. This is definitely what I will be upgrading to for my next camera body.
No point, RP is more than enough. If you’re shooting stills, portraits or automotive. The RP is legit the best bang for buck camera. Paired with good lenses, it’s basically a top tier camera. Only downside is videography. If you care for 4K, then the RP will struggle a bit.
I stopped the video just to say the sound effects and you r personality have me here for life.. I’ve heard about you but this is actually first time here .. I’m here to learn all that I can and level up my photography business.. let’s gooooo “zoooooom”
This is perfect. I’ve been resisting the R5 because it’s a bit overkill price wise and feature wise. I’m still rocking a 6D Mark II ( I believe you got me on that one years ago Pete ) but this is the sweet spot. I wanted something a bit above hobbyist so i didn’t feel the need to upgrade again too soon.

@@morgan_civ I’m enjoying so far. I didn’t realize how much things have improved. Sometimes it’s nice to wait to upgrade. You end up overjoyed by everything 😆
@@iamjasonthompson Glad to hear! I’m looking to upgrade this coming week. Did you use your EF lenses with the adapter and R6, or did you upgrade your entire setup?
I feel like there’s a new camera coming out every other week now 😶 It’s going to get to the point where people/companies want character and art over clarity and perfection. Invest just as much time in developing your artistic voicing as you do updating your gear, friends!
Competition is good , before they purposely gave only 4k 60 crop on 2499$ cameras both A7IV and R6. Now R6ii with same price giving 6k external , more megapixel, 4k no crop. We are getting benefited from the competition. Better gear for same price.
If people are wasting time on upgrading and learning new gear that’s their bad. If they have serious business plan they need to focus on what business needs marketing etc rather than upgrading gear. There’s no wrong in camera companies giving better products at lower or same price. 10 bit internal videos and raw recording videos used to be very expensive some years back. Now in small body and in a fraction or price we are getting better gear.
@@rahulfilms1840 that's more of a regular technical evolution. What Canon did with the R6 and R5 was already at technical limits. 8K Raw Video on a non active cooled 45mp sensor at full bitrate was already a miracle. but technology will progress anyway. But of course I agree, competition boosts that. Although I feel like Sony is heavily struggling since canons R system came on the market.
I got an R6 MKII last Christmas and I’ve enjoyed every minute with it. I adapt my EF lenses onto it and have a couple of RF lenses. An amazing review, thanks.
Other than the low 20mp from my r6 i have no other needs… i really miss my canon 5d mark iv… that camera is a beast… aside from eye focus i’d choose that camera over anything

@@royaltykidstv canon has been pretty much the only camera manufacturer left that unnecessarily forced memory cards to stop recording every 30 minutes which is an absolute ballache. Now they’ve made it so if you buy their most expensive camera you get this small feature.
What makes me want to buy this is the fast subject tracking, left/ right eye focus, the ISO is higher than the R5 204,801. It's only 670 grams with battery (I like!) The quick switch between photo and video is important for my work. I'm interested in the burst-mode to have more options to choose from. The battery life is better than the R5 with 760 shots compared to 490 shots.

This is "The Camera" for me. I wanted the r6, but in this version EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM i had with it is fixed. Like everything. No joke it's a perfect camera. I would take this over the r5.

Good video. Big Thanks. I just got to say that rant about the 5D killed me, this destroys that, man, im excited to see the new mirrorless coming. sounds like this is the step-down version of the r5 with the r3 options at 24.4mp heck, the flagship 1dx 2 and 3 has less and performs like a beast. looking good.
Interesting thoughts on this. Sounds like some great updates, particularly the increase in video recording time, and the oversampling. I'm loving my original R6. The R6, R5, and R3 are fantastic choices for pros and part time pros. This newest update isn't quite a big enough technology leap to upgrade to yet - but it's great to see Canon making some long requested changes.
I’m a hobbyist so your right, this camera isn’t for me. I bought the R5 instead 😂 But seriously it’s amazing how far technology is coming and to the point where you don’t need the flagship models, or even the mid range models to get a spectacular camera with a lot of features
Peter, as a 30 something starting out in Ireland my video/photography journey, can I just say you are a great help! Learned so many things from your content and just wanted to say cheers 🤟🇮🇪🍻
From a 250D, i thing R6 II is a huuuge leap for me, i'm still considering A7 IV but i think since i use Canon, i will follow the same path. Great vid Peter!
@Step bro Do you know of any method to fix this issue? There is a distinct difference in my HD shake to 4K. The 4K footage appears to become distorted as I move rapidly and even from minor movements
This is a great video Peter! I was torn between buying a used R6II or go with the R8 that is about to drop. There is a $1000 price difference but almost seems worth it.

I don't know why they never put some optional 2.5k video on those cameras, like in 120p or 150p. That Will be great for people Who want to upscale nicely to a 4k timeline.
Well - I’m looking for a cam that I can use primarily for TH-cam creations - I don most of my shooting at the office - I need it for live streams, vlogs and yes normal videos as well - I have a camcorder xa40 - and a eos 50 (yes the first edition) looking to replace the M50 - what to choose?? 🙏👍
I really like that 6k raw update!! I think that overheating was always a problem while shooting 4k with these canon cameras, i hope they fixed it, otherwise filming for more than 30 min is not valuable..
@@royaltykidstv about 40 min 4K 60fps and 6 hours 4K at 30fps nonstop… Given you got card space and battery. So in regular 24-30p it probably will never overheat under normal use
My only question is does it have improved color science from the original R6? I know the original had more of an orange color temp compared to any other canon camera.
every canon sensor is a bit different and has a different colours. even the 5dmk4 compared to R is different and they share same sensor with some little tweaks on the R. I think the same goes for all camera brands. I have both the R5 and R6 and I prefer the colour of the R6 so I guess that is also subjective.
So glad they added the switch between a stills and video. Hopefully making hybrid shooting a bit easier. I hated not having the ability to set custom video settings on the 3 custom dials on the R6.
@@34crustydemon from what I can tell from videos, I’m not sure if you’re able to set custom video settings to the dial. But since you have the photo/video switch, it should still be a little easier to switch between video and stills in an instant. What I am hoping is that you can set your custom dials in stills and video mode separately.
Killer video Pete, as usual. Quick question though. In your opinion… would you step up to the MkII from an R6 or just bite the bullet and go to an R5 / R5C? R3 is still a bit out of my price range.
the EOS 5D Mark II was 2.249€ (probably roughly the same in $) when it came out. The original 5D did cost 2.150€. After a few months u could get one for way under 2k. So either ur memory is way off, or somebody scammed the heck out of u. Also u could buy it anywhere, where they sell cameras, at least here in Europe.
he i talking at the beginning about the 5dmk2, then toward the end about original 5d in the sam sentence and ads them the price of the 1dmk2 that he bought...Peter it is time for some Ginseng tea 😆
That won’t happen. Canon’s job is to make lots of cameras and lenses and make you buy lots of cameras and lenses. If it makes sense to upgrade go for it, otherwise make great pictures with what you have. New features will always make you want it and that’s just life. There’s no excuses with any modern camera, they all do a good job.
I was sitting through the video to hear that wobbling on wide angles is fixed. Seems that is not :( If IBIS is still not fixed, I have to trade my eos R and 15-35 lens for Sony. Not sure I can wait for a few more years for camera upgrade.
I don't think I saw any mention of the RAW burst mode shooting and the "pre-shoot" mode which saves .5 seconds of images to a "roll" file before the shutter is fully depressed.. These "rolls" can be processed in camera or in Canon's DPP software, IE extract individual images from them. Lightroom won't process them yet.. Just got a Canon R6 MKii in my hands today and going to try out this feature.
I am glad they released it as the R6 is coming down in price so I can grab a few more R6 bodies :) Nothing I need in the mkii also they killed the buffer.
"Who's this for?" Me. It's for me. I'm upgrading from an RP for concert photography with some video sprinkled in. I cannot WAIT. It will be here Wednesday!!
Ive been a hobbyist landscape photographer since 2008 when i bought a 50d for peanuts. I still use that today but its really showing its age now. Id like a new option to go for that isnt multiple thousands without a single lens. No idea where to look for aomething thats both good and budget. Im ok spending around $1000 if i can still use my canon lenses. Any suggestions?
Thank you for this genuine review! Quick question: Does it remember faces? If my subject is dancing in a group of people, can it remember to keep only my subject in focus at all times? And how would I set this up? Thanks!
I'm SOLD. Perfect upgrade for my EOS R. And its only $2500!? I paid $1900 for my R a few years ago and now the R6 Mark II is selling for that price plus a few hundred more bucks. GREAT timing canon hahah yasssssss.
Literally called me out by saying "this is for the content creator who has a canon RP and is looking to upgrade without breaking the bank". Thanks fellow Peter. Thank you.
I just got this and my first thought when holding the box was "is there even a camera in here?" This camera feels so much lighter in comparison to my 6D Mii now I'm gonna go out and put it to the test
Question… you mention you got a discount through canon professional services. Im a professional services platinum member I asked them about discounts through them and they said it’s not available

Just bought R6 two weeks ago. Only thing I miss is the video switch and the additional 4mpx.
lol definitly not enough :D its basically just a marketing move. very minor improvements, similar marketing strategy like they do for the iphone.
Pete, your music is always on point. I literally get goose bumps within the first 4 minutes. Gets me every time.😂
The Iceland footage is all shot on a regular standard 4K profile??? Very nice👌🏾
My dream cam now,
would love to see you in India someday , you,Matti and Jake are my inspiration. lots of love :)
Interesting thoughts on this. Sounds like some great updates, particularly the increase in video recording time, and the oversampling.
I'm loving my original R6. The R6, R5, and R3 are fantastic choices for pros and part time pros. This newest update isn't quite a big enough technology leap to upgrade to yet - but it's great to see Canon making some long requested changes.
Two Peter McKinnon videos at the same time! Nice 🤙
hopefully they do that record limit update on all their cameras!
Doubtful. They are limited to the amount of heat generated at various recording qualities and modes and have to have limits.
I missed those part when Pete is punching in the air ugh smash that like button. 2022 style! Thanks for this review Pete...
I’m a hobbyist so your right, this camera isn’t for me. I bought the R5 instead 😂
But seriously it’s amazing how far technology is coming and to the point where you don’t need the flagship models, or even the mid range models to get a spectacular camera with a lot of features
And the R3 as a backup 🤣🤣🙂🙂
I'm using the 7D and I love what comes out of it!
YES... NEW CAMERA DAY!
Peter, as a 30 something starting out in Ireland my video/photography journey, can I just say you are a great help! Learned so many things from your content and just wanted to say cheers 🤟🇮🇪🍻
From a 250D, i thing R6 II is a huuuge leap for me, i'm still considering A7 IV but i think since i use Canon, i will follow the same path. Great vid Peter!
Even as an amateur with an Eos R, I'd love to see Canon release a firmware update to remove the 30min recording limit.
Hoping the next R mkii is a killer
Do you experience with 4K video wobble with the eos R? Just curious as it’s been an ongoing issue with my camera
THIS
@Step bro Do you know of any method to fix this issue? There is a distinct difference in my HD shake to 4K. The 4K footage appears to become distorted as I move rapidly and even from minor movements
@@gavintheghost5494 That phenomenon is called rolling shutter. there's some effects to reduce it in post but there's not a lot you can do about it.
What is that Matte Box at 0:58? Looks like PolarPro but I can't find it anywhere.
This is a great video Peter! I was torn between buying a used R6II or go with the R8 that is about to drop. There is a $1000 price difference but almost seems worth it.
My beloved mentor! I missed you, Pete! I am sending love from Europe!
Such a beast of a camera, but you also make just about any camera look amazing with your skills.
Two vids at the same time🔥🔥
thank you for breaking it down!!We'll have regrets for things we did not participate in...Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way, I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks
Regardless of all, investing in crypto markets trading still remains one of the best ways of getting out of poverty and obtaining financial freedom in this global economy pandemic
@wood ofw The fluctuations of the market only affect those that hodl coins, but traders makes money on both sides, when it's bearish they go short when it's bullish they go long... The best strategy to use in trading crypto is to trade with a professional, like Arjun B Jagat he understand the market quite well, that way maximum profits are guaranteed.
@@raphfelimax2713 I'm honestly surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony last two months in CNBC world news and decided to try him out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
I have heard a lot about Investments with Arjun B Jagat , how good he is and how he has helped People. Please how safe are the profits?
The HUGE puffer jackets with the skinny skinny jeans is a vibe!
With the new 24 MP sensor, did they fix the "yellow-ish" hue a lot of photographers were noticing on the Mark 1?

Bass pro shop! Are you becoming a bass angler now as well? Can’t wait for those videos man! 🥳
Not Log, Ungraded - looks fantastic! A testament to Canon color science. For a colorblind person who hates to color grade, this is sweet!
Does that mean its just shot in the standard picture profile?
The music has some dark side of the moon (us & them) vibe?
I don't know why they never put some optional 2.5k video on those cameras, like in 120p or 150p. That Will be great for people Who want to upscale nicely to a 4k timeline.
Well - I’m looking for a cam that I can use primarily for TH-cam creations - I don most of my shooting at the office - I need it for live streams, vlogs and yes normal videos as well - I have a camcorder xa40 - and a eos 50 (yes the first edition) looking to replace the M50 - what to choose?? 🙏👍
I really like that 6k raw update!! I think that overheating was always a problem while shooting 4k with these canon cameras, i hope they fixed it, otherwise filming for more than 30 min is not valuable..
It's been fixed, he just didn't mention it
@@semahj did he say you can film for 6hrs straight without any issues?
I think 6 hours is record limit more or less but everyone else’s reviews did mention overheating not to be a thing really
@@EugeneKam by 6hours does this mean straight without non stop?
@@royaltykidstv about 40 min 4K 60fps and 6 hours 4K at 30fps nonstop… Given you got card space and battery. So in regular 24-30p it probably will never overheat under normal use
With that Bass Pro Hat we need to see a fishing video now! Lets GOoOoOoOO 😀👍🔥😜
So clearly Peter is going to be dropping a Matte Box with Polar Pro. Or have I been sleeping under a Rock! 🤣🎥
I was about to comment about that!! Looks pretty slick...
Is this the a7iv competitor?
My only question is does it have improved color science from the original R6? I know the original had more of an orange color temp compared to any other canon camera.
clips shown on video were ungraded, if you have R6 or had a chance to use it, please do compare and let us know, if you see any difference
every canon sensor is a bit different and has a different colours. even the 5dmk4 compared to R is different and they share same sensor with some little tweaks on the R. I think the same goes for all camera brands. I have both the R5 and R6 and I prefer the colour of the R6 so I guess that is also subjective.
Me.
They made it for me.
Thanks! Great review as always 🤘🏻
Does he know Nikon Z9 can do 8K Raw internally? Needing an external recorder for RAW isn’t really a standard anymore 😅
2:12 So can I get a camera that has a chewbacca shutter sound though?
So glad they added the switch between a stills and video. Hopefully making hybrid shooting a bit easier. I hated not having the ability to set custom video settings on the 3 custom dials on the R6.
This is also the most annoying thing about the R6 for me. Has this been fixed on the R6II?
@@34crustydemon from what I can tell from videos, I’m not sure if you’re able to set custom video settings to the dial. But since you have the photo/video switch, it should still be a little easier to switch between video and stills in an instant. What I am hoping is that you can set your custom dials in stills and video mode separately.
@@the.jonfernandez thanks Bro I hope so.
Love how honest you are Peter it’s hard to find these days. Appreciate you buddy.
Killer video Pete, as usual.
Quick question though. In your opinion… would you step up to the MkII from an R6 or just bite the bullet and go to an R5 / R5C?
R3 is still a bit out of my price range.
New camera day!!!!❤Excited
the EOS 5D Mark II was 2.249€ (probably roughly the same in $) when it came out. The original 5D did cost 2.150€. After a few months u could get one for way under 2k. So either ur memory is way off, or somebody scammed the heck out of u. Also u could buy it anywhere, where they sell cameras, at least here in Europe.
he i talking at the beginning about the 5dmk2, then toward the end about original 5d in the sam sentence and ads them the price of the 1dmk2 that he bought...Peter it is time for some Ginseng tea 😆
He is probable talking in CA$😅
Hi Peter. When you used the words "wish list" it triggered me back in time to the early 1970's and on my wish list was a Hasselblad.
Definitely curious about the wobble with the wide angle lenses.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this exact camera to be released! 👌
Most of the features could be applied to the original R6 with a firmware update. Let's see if Canon really care about its customers.
so true!
That won’t happen. Canon’s job is to make lots of cameras and lenses and make you buy lots of cameras and lenses. If it makes sense to upgrade go for it, otherwise make great pictures with what you have. New features will always make you want it and that’s just life. There’s no excuses with any modern camera, they all do a good job.
😂
Yeah I’m sure Canon will update a first Gen camera to specs of a new camera they’re trying to sell. Happens all the time
@@sinjon bro what are you talking about. remember when they opened up all options with magic lantern....oh wait...ur right
I was sitting through the video to hear that wobbling on wide angles is fixed. Seems that is not :(
If IBIS is still not fixed, I have to trade my eos R and 15-35 lens for Sony. Not sure I can wait for a few more years for camera upgrade.
Thanks for the update. I see the 135 on there are we gonna get some info on it too?
I don't think I saw any mention of the RAW burst mode shooting and the "pre-shoot" mode which saves .5 seconds of images to a "roll" file before the shutter is fully depressed.. These "rolls" can be processed in camera or in Canon's DPP software, IE extract individual images from them. Lightroom won't process them yet.. Just got a Canon R6 MKii in my hands today and going to try out this feature.
I am glad they released it as the R6 is coming down in price so I can grab a few more R6 bodies :) Nothing I need in the mkii also they killed the buffer.
This would be a great upgrade from my 90D. Might upgrade this year 😁👍🏻
That dialogue buzz sound CRrrrrrr... Sir 😂😂. Love those sounds ❤️in the beginning of video feeling like punch lines 👏👏. Great!
"Who's this for?" Me. It's for me.
I'm upgrading from an RP for concert photography with some video sprinkled in. I cannot WAIT. It will be here Wednesday!!
Nice hat. Just took my son there to BP for the first time, amazing place. Great video as always
Ive been a hobbyist landscape photographer since 2008 when i bought a 50d for peanuts. I still use that today but its really showing its age now. Id like a new option to go for that isnt multiple thousands without a single lens. No idea where to look for aomething thats both good and budget. Im ok spending around $1000 if i can still use my canon lenses. Any suggestions?
Hey diggin' that Bass Pro Shops hat.. live near the headquarters in MO. You should come and video/photo the WOW... awesome aquariums and museum!!
I'm totally diggin the bass pro shop hat :) its def a vibe!
Thank you for this genuine review! Quick question: Does it remember faces? If my subject is dancing in a group of people, can it remember to keep only my subject in focus at all times? And how would I set this up? Thanks!
I'm SOLD. Perfect upgrade for my EOS R. And its only $2500!? I paid $1900 for my R a few years ago and now the R6 Mark II is selling for that price plus a few hundred more bucks. GREAT timing canon hahah yasssssss.
Literally called me out by saying "this is for the content creator who has a canon RP and is looking to upgrade without breaking the bank". Thanks fellow Peter. Thank you.
That super long car at 4:07, what is that?
👆👆To partake in our current investments mentorship/insights*..*
Funny you mention it…. I’m THAT person who shot a Canon R and upgraded to the R6 Mkii this week. Exactly for the reasons you mentioned!
I have the R6 and gosh I love that they added that video to photo switch especially as a sports photographer 😭
Interesting seeing you here!
@@marcoavaldez haha omg hello!
Of course Pete is bringing out A Polar Pro Matte Box... And just bought the set of VNDs...
Where's the Peter McKinnon Sports Car Sound Pack? I never knew I needed it!
I just got this and my first thought when holding the box was "is there even a camera in here?" This camera feels so much lighter in comparison to my 6D Mii now I'm gonna go out and put it to the test
Switching from photo to video on R5, program the M-Fn button in custom mode. Switching photo to video as easy and fast as pressing the shutterbutton.

That's an amzing offering by Canon 🖤🖤

Question… you mention you got a discount through canon professional services. Im a professional services platinum member I asked them about discounts through them and they said it’s not available
Bro this is for me.. I started my channel on the m50 and pushed the friendship of it especially using 70/200 markiii hanging off it lol iv been waiting and researching.. this is the one.. thanks for the review and awesome content as usual.. 100% legend
Would this make you switch? Or are you staying with the r5?
I'm happy with the 35mm F1.8 ✅ and 50mm F1.8✅ but is there a 20mm F1.8 on the way from canon.
Perfect person . Good attitude good explanation awesome video and shots . Take care
Did they get rid of the 4K crop?
Looks great! Would love to see more videos on Leica tho👀
