In most cases you will need some form of contracts for your clients for sure and you will definitely need a Tax ID. You may not always have to use your Tax ID but in most cases, it is good to have it. Regarding the business license, in general field of photography, you won't need it. However, this also depends on the field of photography and the type of photography equipment that you have. For example, if you take arial shots and you own a drone for that, you will need both business license and a drone license to do that (not to mention the permits). If your photography involve certain kind of cameras that's very specific such as a scientific camera, you may also need the licenses as well. This is even more reinforce if you are working or operating your business in a different country... I hope that helps.
Regarding view photos lag, just try to use a high speed UHS-II SD cards and you should noticed that this lag gone 😁 It should make an EVF lag smaller also 😉
Thank you for watching and also for the suggestion. I am currently indeed using high speed UHS-II U3 V90 sd cards... But the lag is still very noticeable... But thank you so much for your suggestion and for watching. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting. :-)
Thank you very much for watching and also for the advice. Very much appreciated. :-) That being said, I'd still need to go into C3 which is still a bit slower than something like the 5d mark iii that I can just flick a switch and it just gets me there :-) But thank you for your advice though! I wish you a great time and have fun shooting! :-)
Technically the R does have an intervalometer mode but it just bakes the files together as a video file afterwards, which can be useful if you don't have the time to edit everything and you just need it on the go... But it's not useful if you want to edit everything yourself.... So I just wish that the intervalometer would safe the individual images instead of baking it into a video file...
@@DavidCuhls Yes, I'm aware. But the interval timer is actually useful for so many other things, like taking group photos or self portrait on a tripod. Or you just want to use it to eliminate camera shake completely for 10-12 shots, like for product shots, but make sure it refocuses for every shot. By baking it into a video, it's assuming that you want to do a time lapse. I use the interval timer all the time on the RP, R5, and R6, and I've never actually done a true time lapse.
yes, sorry, you are right. Interval shooting is useful for so many other things but it's also kind of why I said that it's just a shame that it's baked into a video file. For travel photography, I sometimes like take interval shooting to capture different look of light of the location during the golden hour and decide later on the big monitor, during which specific golden light the location looks best. I also use interval shooting for wildlife shooting (especially to shoot seagulls). For product shots, group shots, etc. I've aways use method of either tether shooting, wireless shooting or just simple old cable release. But year, having a dedicated built in proper intervalometer will definitely be much more practical and efficient :-)
I would say that 90k shutter count isn't really a lot. Sure, the camera is rated at about 300k but I've seen some photographers pushing it over 2 million... So I personally really don't think that it's a high count :-)
Its actually rated 200k so its almost half of the lifespan... Are you sure saying 2mln? EOS R was released almost 3yr ago, meaning that someone would have to take around 2000 pictures a day!!! Really?
I see, sorry about the mistake. That being said, 90k still isn't a lot... And yes, 2 million-ish. It's like cars, many cars are rated to go 500k km but there are still many drivers drove pass 3 million km mark... Also, 200k is really just some sort of predictions that doesn't really mean that much. For example, my 7D had to get it's shutter replaced at around 32,000 shutter count when it was rated for higher. a friend of mine has shot over 3.2 million images with his 5d mark iii, I've also used my 5d mark iii and mark ii wayyy passed their shutter count and they are still reliable. My uncle who is a sports photo journalist got over 5 million shots on his D4s, D5, etc. The eos R is the same, it can handle more than 200k and 90k doesn't really mean much. If one day you do reach 200k, it does not mean that the camera will stop shooting as if it was programmed to nor will the camera become fragile that you have to start to babying the camera... Regarding the 2 million images part, yes, that's true and it's not hard to believe either.... if you do a lot of out door portraits professionally, getting between 2k-3k images within 2.5h shooting - 4h shooting is not uncommon.
Hi david, i actually want to buy new camera, 1dx (Classic/Mark I), 5DMarkIII and EOS R are same price on sceond hand market. With total honestly ^^ u can pick one camera, which one are you picking ? Thx for the answer (by the way i watch your 2 review on eos R and 1DX but i can’t choose yet haha).
I think that if I could only pick one camera, I would have to pick the Canon eos R. Of course I love the colour science of the 1dx classic and 5d mark iii much more than the eos R's colour science. However, the canon eos R has the dual pixel AF which I find to be really useful with taking portrait shots as well as recording video. Furthermore, the Canon eos R does not only take RF and EF lenses but it also takes EF-s lenses and adjust the crop to the EF-s lenses as well, which is a huge advantage. The dual pixel AF is also nicer to have when using the 85mm 1.2 as I find that the shots are more accurately in focus and the lowlight performance of the R is also nicer than the other two cameras in my opinion. This is even more evident when trying to recover shadow areas since there are lens colour noise in the eos R's images than the other two cameras. The form factor is also nice and much lighter than the other two cameras so if you ever need to be in a situation where lighter bodies matters, then the R is better off as well. Furthermore, the touch screen that can articulate (though I much prefer a tilting screen than an articulated one) proofed to be very practical when shooting landscapes, portraits, still life and street photography for me as well. :-) That being said, I do still miss the colour science of the other two camera and the faster frames per second of the other two camera as well (especially when shooting with continuous AF). I also much prefer the button placements of the other two cameras over the eos R as well.. But all in all, the downside of this camera can be overlooked after sometimes of shooting and the colour science can always be tweaked back in post albeit with a bit of time (but the colour science is still nice overall). Hope that helps :-)
I would recommend the R over the other two hands down. All of your ef lenses work even better on an R body. The autofocus is spectacular. It is absolutely the best bang for your buck Canon camera, especially when you consider the used market. I just did a wedding with the R and it turned out fantastic, but I can see why I need an R5/6 and because of that, my R will be my designated daily driver and backup.
Yeah, I've used the R6 for a while now and the refresh rate on that camera is really good. That being said, it doesn't solve my lag problem since the problem is still on the eos R... But thank you for your suggestion and also for watching. I hope you have a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting:-)
I own 3 of this cameras and use them professionally. thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story, much appreciated it:-) Hope you have a great time and have fun shooting :-)
I have a few questions. If I want to do photography professionally, do I need a business license? Tax ID? And do I need contracts for clients?
In most cases you will need some form of contracts for your clients for sure and you will definitely need a Tax ID. You may not always have to use your Tax ID but in most cases, it is good to have it. Regarding the business license, in general field of photography, you won't need it.

I LOVE my R
Yeah, it's still a great camera :-) Thanks for watching and for sharing, hope you have a great time and have fun shooting :-)
C3 will take you to video mode if you save the settings you want for video.
Thank you very much for watching and also for the advice.

I still don't understand why they didn't put an interval timer on this camera, considering the RP has it.

Good review plenty of nice samples you've included enjoyed thankyou.
Thank you very much for watching and also for the compliment, really means a lot. I wish you a great time, stay safe and have fun shooting! :-)
Hi, i like this camera a lot and i have an option to buy it cheap ~1100 usd in the great condition but with high shutter count of 90k, is this a lot
