Greatest comparison between 2 cameras I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

thanks!

[@브츠흐]

It's really nice comparison, I've never seen like this kind of detail before. Thank you for your information. It's so helpful to choose my camera.

[@dansaghin1]

Thank you for the great review!

[@Bhupender296]

very nice video. congratulation.
is there any chance you did any video on EOS R or RP after RP's firmware upgrade?

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

No, sorry.

[@samfit808]

Thank you

[@raredreamfootage]

Is 4K IPB still 8-bit 4:2:2 internal?

[@chelseababcock91]

Thank you!

[@mr.febrian9248]

Still choose micro four third

[@mandofan2616]

worst battery life.

[@MarquezDaniel]

Glad I chose the RP over the R. There's just not enough of a difference to spend the extra $800

[@tietata9245]

Mee to! Mine arrived today, I love it, I come from a 6D. Wow!

[@aaronisbell17]

@@tietata9245 So are you still happy you went with the RP? I have a 6d and a SL2 right now and i feel only thing u dont get with the RP is C Log and 120fps and those 2 are not worth 800 bucks.

[@aaronisbell17]

hands down the best comparison video for sure, bad thing is i still cant decide which one to get. again amazing job thank you.

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

Thanks for watching!

[@itsDedayy]

I'm in the same situation lol.

[@BenchmarkTraining]

This so helpful, thank you! Can you share what lenses you had on each camera during the comparison?

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

I used the RF 35mm 1.8 for colours, skin, ISO, sharpness and face detection, the RF 24-105mm for dynamic range, AF, stabilisation and rolling shutter.

[@BenchmarkTraining]

Thank you so much @@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons, that helps a lot!
One more question if you don't mind... do you think the extra $$ for the RF versus the HF 24-105mm is worth it?
I'm planning on using my M50 for my camera 2 along with my new RP for "talking head" videos... just not sure if I need the RF or not?

[@sttv1570]

The rolling shutter on both R and RP is nowhere as terrible as Sony aps A6+++ series.

[@paulbeckmann]

Thanks for the great review!

[@Noealz]

Curious to see what the future R's will be like

[@jhellier]

Me too. I don't care for either of these

[@brandon.r3411]

great detailed video

[@rockstarcvresumetemplates3897]

This is the best R - Rp video on TH-cam ❤️

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

Thanks!

[@runemaster96]

Your videos are invaluable 🙏

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

thanks!

[@iamdaneke]

This is the best comparison video I've seen on these two cameras.
Your content is rich. Thank you.
This has also helped me decide on which camera to get; RP. The difference is not that much, I think.

[@mazenwardy]

I do have a question though, is the ef lenses as good as the rf when recording a 4k video in the eos rp? cuz I got an ef lens and its looks almost useless to shoot 4k on the rp..

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

Are you talking about the autofocus?

[@mazenwardy]

@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons yeah, is it gonna be any faster if I used the rf glass?

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

The main problem with the RP is that it uses contrast detection AF in 4K, so it will be slow and more inaccurate with RF and EF lenses.

[@MicSokol]

Thank you!

[@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

If MagicLanter wont unlock dual pixel autofocus in RP in 4k mode then this camera is pretty useless and have nothing to offer from 80d.

[@raredreamfootage]

EOS R: "When recording in-camera, 4K video has 4:2:2 sampling and 8-bit color depth, a 4:2:2 10-bit clean output in ITU-R CT.2020 is possible when using an external recorder."

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

The Canon website (UK) says:
Colour Sampling (Internal recording): 4K - YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit), Full HD/HD - YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit)

[@mazenwardy]

I heard things I never heard anywhere else. thank you.

[@weenbeanproductonswbp8401]

The rolling shutter seems pretty harsh on both. your example are only showing 4k rolling shutter issues correct? 1080P does not suffer from severe rolling shutter correct? Also the RP is said to have strong moire aliasing? I could not see this on the examples.

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

Yes the video only shows the performance in 4K. I didn't find a lot of aliasing, at least not in 4K.

[@weenbeanproductonswbp8401]

Mathieu Gasquet the rp video just seems a lot more useable then most people are saying. Try video on a brick building sometimes see how it hold up

[@Pankaj_Patel_Canada]

Greatest comparison. if we use EF 85 mm 1.8 usm with RP, Can we record 1080 p video without cropping? I am confused.

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

With a full frame lens and 1080p recording, there is no crop.

[@Pankaj_Patel_Canada]

@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons THANKS

[@เชนไกรนุกูล]

Thanks bro

[@fugazzi9757]

eos r have great result

[@vbayservices]

How do I remedy the the 4k problem with the RP ?

[@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons]

The 4K crop you mean? Probably the best solution is to use APS-C lenses.
