- I never normally review a camera to this level, but the R5 is so significant and packed with special features that I couldn't resist this time. Hope you find this helpful!

Video footage and pictures of the camera taken with a Sony a7R II, but all the sample pictures and video you see are of course taken with the Canon EOS R5, with Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART and 60-600mm SPORTS lenses adapted on.

Enough R5 fake-overexcited reviews,its time for real review
Thanks Chris
I appreciate reviewers who actually USE cameras (for more than a few hours) before reviewing them
Same. If there's one thing I've learnt about Chris from his channel, other than that his wife loves him dearly (see the way she looks at him even with a camera in his hand) is that he's a stickler for thoroughness. He'd rather be last but with substance rather than first with nothing to say.
same - and "photographers" that actually use and review the camera for Photography aka Stills Photography and not Videography or Filmmaking, if i want to get top brass in cinecams i'd buy a RED ... but i want a compact STILLS camera and reviews that not only show the addon feature of being able to record video - but use it for its primary function - taking stills.
same here
I tested it at the Best Buy for 10 min before writing my review. 💪🏼
I've seen a lot reviews about this camera but this was one of the better ones. Your mastery of photography and tech details is so good that you don't have to try so hard like a lot of other reviewers. Instead, you just pointed out the key features and issues. Nice work! Can't wait to put this camera to the test. One question: do you notice any appreciable difference in the color of images straight out of this camera compared to the EOS R?
AllGoodThingsNetwork it is a little cooler. I have both
@@pianofinger I heard that in a different review on YT as well. I currently have both as well and need to test this out. Thanks.
I noticed my images were slightly more red in some situations
I wonder why you have avoided Reviewing Cameras till now. Your Lens reviews are the best but this review is up there with the best camera reviews. I think you should start doing this more. AWESOME.
Thanks! The reason I avoid camera reviews is because they take me about four times longer to make than lens reviews, and I'm so pressed for time.
@@christopherfrost I understand. I have to say, your findings and observations are unique and add value even though there are many detailed reviews available, Drop these gems once in a while
@5:18 I thought that mirrorless cameras already had live DoF preview so I'm not sure why that button is needed.
@@Rollergold4 Canon cameras don't
@@christopherfrost It is a little obnoxious, but I think it's to give the sensor enough light for the autofocus to work well. Still, it would sure be nice to get away from this soon. Maybe with the R1?
Why don't camera companies send you the review units or you just purposely don't want to? I mean, you're the first guy on TH-cam I would prefer for reviews.
Beautiful review! Just thought I should mention that the 4K aps-c crop mode looks really good, and is downsampled from 5,1K. It also never overheats.
The dream camera, i´m saving money for the R6 it will be a real upgrade for me, canon has something really awesome in this cameras.
Most will choose R6, at least in Europe where price difference is 40% more that in US.
@@tkermi Woah.
@@Methodical2 Yeah, in US dollars R6 costs here $3435 and R5 $5750. So the price difference is $2315...
If you have to save to buy the camera that means you can’t really afford it.
@@BlaxkNobility Or the person is just being responsible about how he/she uses money. Only quite few people have so much money that they don't need to give any thought about $2,5k ($3,4k in Europe) purchase.
The review we’ve ALLL been waiting for
I hear you. Tough to find a positive review.
There's a very good way to thank him for doing all this incredible work: by clicking on every single ad that you see on the channel :)
He can't say it, but he gets a ton of money if we do so.
Thanks mate! Keep up!
He's got a Patreon you can donate too. It's easier and can be a bigger monetary contribution than AdSense.
@@ej_tech I know, but not every one is willing to be a patreon. It costs nothing to add another click to your day :)
Nope, he won't get tons of money through ads. You'll have to have view up in the millions to have any significant income.
@@jan.tichavsky Full disclosure: I have so many reviews on TH-cam now that advertising does make an income for me. But like everyone else - I have bills and a mortgage to pay, and a new family to take care of :-)
@@christopherfrost Just subbed to your Patreon Chris. I'm Unemployed so I'm only on the $2 tier but I just felt the need to support what I consider to be the best reviews not only in photography, but possibly in any genre.
I love your standardised testing format, the calm tone and subtle humour, the classic smooth jazz, and the constantly concise, earnest and both technical and artistic advice you add to your work. and then you test them on APSC/full frame/vice versa too?? I don't think I've ever bought a lens that you haven't tested.
Also love the addition of suggestions for alternative lenses / items if you see an issue thats resolved by a competitor. You should be immensely proud of your work. If only every product category had a Christopher Frost.
Hi Christopher, as usual a great review which I used to help me make a decision back in the day. I have had the R 5 for 2 years, I wonder if you feel an updated review maybe a good idea now, in view of all the firmware updates that have hopefully addressed many of the issues, particularly as this is still very much a current model?
Are you gonna review the R6? I bet most people here will go for the "budget" version.
Love your reviews, keep it up!
Yes, in US the price difference is "only" $1400 but at least in my country it's 2000€. And I guess that when A7 IV comes out it will affect more on the R6 price. So I'm very interested in R5 - R6 comparisons.
The R6 is for plebs. Just enjoy the review and become a patron.
CBTheMechanic On the planet I’m from a mirroless cam which basically has the 1dxiii internals for less than half the price is pretty awesome.
I dont see the R6 as a "budget R5". I see it as an option for a different market.
I hope Canon lend him the R6 for a while and he make a review for it.
I also already have the R5 for a few weeks and I am loving it. It's just an all around amazing photo camera.
Are you planning to retest the sharpness of the RF lenses you have already covered on this higher resolution body?
Question- What is the better option for concert photography ? I shoot small venues such as rap concerts and solo shows. (dark environments) . The A7RV or Canon R5?
Yes, I am - videos coming soon :-)
R5 with 24-105 L is 6700$ in my country , avarage monthly salary is 400$ so I can only watch videos of it :(
Which country do you live in?
Christopher Frost Photography Unfortunately Turkey , our money losing its value , wages are not high either
The old a7rii hold its own in the video department quite well....very surprising. It would be even better in Super35.
Yeah , not bad for a now 5 plus year old camera , the thing that comes to mind looking at all these camera reviews to me is that , all cameras have their strong and weak points , while it is easy to get carried away with the latest and greatest wizz bang models(and the grass is always greener .... ) , , if you have an old model that is still competent and with a good lens , you can still get great images and media .
I look at some of the good photo`s i have taken with my A73 , and i see no reason too spend 4 or 5 grand , or 6.5 grand in this case on another new camera body , and then a lens or two and in my region that in all honesty is only going to give very fractional improvement in image quality for the most part unless you are a pro or blowing up to poster size to sell or pixel peeping .
Nice. You managed to talk about two features i didn’t know were in the camera and i have had mine since august 1 and called myself reading the manual. Interesting to know there is yet another IS problem too with a lens i own, as well! Thanks for the review.
R5 dynamic range is 1.3 Stops better than my Eos R,it is also 0.2 better than Z7 and A7r4,R5 is monster,it has very clean shadows...this is not Dynamic test range that you have done in your video ,you have only tested the highligts recovery,shadow recovery is another story with R5,and also R5 and R6 does not have the faulty sensor as R and 5d mark IV which produces pretty bad banding into the long exposure-exposed for the hightligts photos.
I just bought the R5, it rocks!! What blows my mind is that I spent a month or two watching TH-cam videos and researching the camera and this video is just being recommended to me now! WTF TH-cam?!?!?!? My favorite reviewer doing the best review of the R5 and I'm just seeing it now!!?? I watched it twice! Great job as always Chris! You nailed it exactly (and then some)! Best reviews on YT!!
Hey Chris - your review is actually the first "full" review ive seen so far - the others i watch (Jared Polin and Tony Northrup) all only focussed on the video features so far and are holding back their full review - yet im only interested in the "stills" part of the camera - while owning my 6Dmkii now for 2.5 years i never took a single video with it :D ...
The only downside i see with the r5 is that its so prohibitivly expensive, clocking in a 4580$ here in switzerland (thats with the mandatory EF adapter), technically i could afford it but it feels very "wasty" - yet the R6 with its 20mp feels somehow... held back by the 20mp for a landscape photographer like me. I crop often, as in always, at least 20% and thats just format change... I hope that they will lower the price in a year or so to something reasonable. that said, this comment comes from a hobbyist and not someone that earns money with his photography, so my way of rating things is very different and price has a value of its own.
Still greate review as always!
I just hope one day youll show us how you do your focus char test on those 600mm lenses, or is your garden just so long? :-D
Gordon Laing from camera labs did a photograpby review.
4580$ is... just... so much money
Watching this review i guess CF is a photographer that does video as well which is like 90% of us and that's why we relate to his vids ..its seams 90% of youtubers are Videographers
Well they do make videos... but alas a lot of them just ride the overheating wagon for views.
Too expensive, i'll keep my X-T4 for now.
Indeed. We want metal, not plastic.
Great review Christopher. You brought some new details to light for me like the softness when using the fully mechanical shutter and the 1/8 stop aperture increments. 👌
Did they fix the problem?
I just love my R5 and RF lenses - Congratulations!
Thank you Chris for the best R5 Review so far, I have watched almost 100+ reviews but found your review much more helpful then other
Bravo Christopher! Another excellent review. If you had it to do over again - this of the Sony A7R IV?
It is so irritating that everyone was so skeptical about Canon even being able to produce 8K and 4K120 full width. They did it and then everybody is upset because it heats up. I even heard several of these pundits say that it can do 3-10 minutes it will be a success, and then when cry because it isn't unlimited. What a bunch of whiny babies.
The problem isnt, that it overheats, the problem is, that the overheating is fake. I will overheat even if completely cooled and even after shotting only fotos it wont allow you to film anymore but you can trick it by changing the date and removing the battery without turning it off and all timers will reset until it actually overheats, which will even have a new different overheating icon. This is just pure BS and people are rightfully upset.
@@alexaudiovisuals Except that you nor they don't know that internal, non-obvious damage isn't be done to the camera. I will not ever buy a used R5/R6.
Agree, I don't think anyone would thank Canon if their R5 melted down because they were not cautious. I'm a Canon shooter for many a year but I agree they pushed the video specs too much and it just played into the 'Canon Cripple Hammer' theory Like Chris said it should have been marketed as a '5D Mk V' with a bump in video specs. For me it would be a great stills camera but I object to the $1=£1 then add another £300 for the R5. It can drop in price to a fair price over 2-3 years as far as I'm concerned. As I've never had IBIS and I'm a Landscales shooter the R is fine for me and allows me time tog et into the RF lenses.
Bingo. Many were saying the 8K would be a 30 second burst, or 4k 120 would not have AF. Then they got much more than that and complained. Then these same complainers (like Camera Conspiracies) got the cameras and were unable to get them to overheat in their extensive use.
The same people ridiculed at Sony when it overheated but when the same thing happens to them.
Great review as usual Christopher. We really need a Sony a9 (II) vs R5/6 AF sports comparison. I would lend you my a9 II however I live in Australia so a little bit far for a loaner.
I've seen a few comparisons and the R5 holds its own with the a9 cameras for sports shooting.
I agree. That would be a great comparison. Those are the cameras I'm interested in.
love your videos Chris. i have bought my lenses after watching your videos. i was planning on buying the R6. can you do a video on them as well?
Such a great review. I'm still waiting for my camera. How well do the Sigma lenses do with the camera and adapter for photography? I might have missed it in the video.
I've been using a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens adapted on and for stills and videos it's absolutely fantastic
had an R5 and it overheated in Arizona...... I sold it and still shoot with my Canon 5DSR and my for video I use my 1DX MKiii .......
same here. I have the RP and 7D and didn't do much videos at all other than use RP as web cam.
It's just much lighter to do video on cell phones. I think R5 or R6 will be my next buy...and the RF 70-200.
I just love to have IBIS and it will make all my non stabilized canon fix lens much more useful.
The 4K work flow is already time consuming. 8K will be a killer for my computer.
Quite decent review , found your jazz soundtrack distracting and irritating
Background music never improves a video review in my opinion
When Chris can be bothered to make a camera review, you'd already know it's worth buying.
Thank you so much 👍👍👍
Huge money dear😥
What about R6 any chance ro do a simple review. Please🙏
Affordable that's why 👍
So anyway thank you again for R5
I bought mine 3 weeks ago along with the F4.0 70-200mm and I have to say OMG. OMG what an amazing camera :)
Nice review Christopher. And the background music has me feeling like I'm in an old restaurant waiting for my pot of tea. I need to spend more time taking photos, but the EF 50 f1.2 on this camera is amazing. In video, when recording in temps of 65F or lower, I can filled up 328 GB CF cards and not even get an overheat warning.
Please review EOS R6
Thanks for the amazing review, been following you for many years now, very clear and concise, very pleasing review, your review gave me the confidence to finally sell my 5dmk4 and order the R5, really looking forward to using it for many years to come.
Would love to see comparison between sony a7iii vs eos r6.
Iam a canon user but might shift to sony because of high dynamic range and good shadow details.
The future looks bright, I say! Marvelous review, as always. Too bad I've bought in to Nikon. 😋
Befire you start calling a R5 big and chunky go and hold a panasonic S1 camera.
Chris, an excellent review as always. You have a beautiful backyard at 20:00. It reminds me of the good memories of my childhood.
Its the best camera I have ever used. If you shoot in ambient temps of 65 degrees F or less - you likely will never overheat the camera. Even in 8K. For long form recording I point a small and silent usb powered fan at the ports, and it will record in all modes forever that way. Even in ambient temps up to about 80 degrees F.
Are you absolutely sure about that? If so you should make a video to demonstrate it for everyone. Serious professional technicians have been looking into the issue and not been able to fix it...
Christopher Frost Photography Yes. I have personally tested it myself. Many others as well. Multiple posts with pictures of times on the Canon Rumors Discord. I have filled my 512GB Cf Express Card after shooting over one hour of 8k IPB Video in a 79 degree room, with a silent USB fan pointed at the ports. I have repeated this test many times. It also works with 4kHQ, and 4K 60. I shot 4 sequences of 4K 120 this way and stopped because who needs 30 total minutes or more of continuous 4K 120. Many others have not even needed the fan if they shoot in 70 degree F or cooler. See the Ordinary Filmmaker. This is all with firmware 1.1. Also the TH-cam channel No Life has posted his videos with a small fan essentially recording 8k forever.
Did the Mechanical Shutter vertical blurring bug ever get addressed in subsequent firmware? If you shoot burst mode does it only affect the first exposure in the burst sequence or do all exposures in the burst suffer from vertical blur? Was it only with the 1/100th of a second shutter speed that you saw this bug?
I really like this style of reviews where the focus is actually on the product.
Mr. Frost, you are one of my favorite TH-cam reviewers. Great job as always.
Great honest review from you as always, is there a chance you could do a review with the Ef 100 - 400 f4.5 - 5.6 L mkii usm lens with the 1.4 and 2x mkiii teleconverter to see how it focuses on the r5 and to see if it remains sharp and how fast it is as I can't afford any new rf lenses at the moment, I already own several ef lenses and both of these teleconverters and I have not found any reviews of this Anywhere on TH-cam. Many thanks
Please make same for eos r6...
😑
With a good LP-E6N battery, you also can achieve the 12 fps! They may not last as long as an NH battery, but in a pinch, they are useful! I hope you find a way to retest those RF lenses you looked at on the R, as there are a few features that are missing in some of them. For example, on the r5, there is that icon for IS that is enhanced on the r5 due to IBIS (I think) and you get the "hand+" icon in the VF rather than just the "hand". I think, IIRC, that this (hand+) means the two are working together. I had assumed this were true for all RF lenses, but apparently not. That feature does not work with the RF 24-105 F/4L or the RF 70-200 F/2.8L but it does work with the new RF 100-500 F/4.5-7.1L lens. So, I guess the combined IS (hand+) only works with RF lenses released recently and after/with the R5/R6.
Very good review!
This is the Camera i would have buyed 2 Years ago but Canon forced me onto a Sony A7III... to bad for Canon :D
Too bad for you!
I am about to order the R5 now to get a great partner to challenge the 5 RF lenses in the bag.
It's OK,. This companies fighting specs war,. And this will great for all of us consumers.
@@kenjiyamamoto9499 I live Sony challenging Canon to boost Canon's performance.
Without Sony I would had never the chance to enjoy brilliant RF glass.
The system switchers paid this industry's efforts, thanks!
@@peterebel7899 no one can match canon RF lenses,. I'm pretty sure canon will release more mirrorless cameras with great specs,. They heavily invested in RF lenses,. And BTW Sony has been many years in mirrorless world,. But canon still manage to catch up easily,. And also complete holy trinity lineup lenses,.
You know that Canon already up their game,.
I'm looking forward to buy r6,. But im pushing my self to hold my excitement yet. And wait a little bit longer to down the price canon has many more cameras will be released this end of 2020 and more coming on 2021,. Thats why I'm waiting a little bit longer.
@@kenjiyamamoto9499 You are right:
Canon did some very smart moves defining the RF mount's specifications (as they did 30 years ago with the EF mount).
And they are going "all in" using the opportunities of this mount, in part dismantling the competitors. Up to now the most exceptional example is the RF 70-200 2.8. This alone gives in most professionals' bag one pound less of weight and space for one extra lens compares to every other option on the market!
Just: waiting does not help too much: The prices of RF glas are the very most stabile in the market.
Yes, street prices for bodies are falling. But I experience now close to 2 years of great photography with the EOS R and a slowly growing set of RF glass, possibly the 2 best of my years in photography. I am ready to invest in the next generation as well to hold the R as 2nd body.
BTW: Sony's mount is the worst FF mount in the market now. Just there is no smooth path to get rid of legacy as Canon had the chance with adapting EF to R bodies - EF lenses did never perform better than today adapted to R-bodies. Canon had solved a problem comparable to Sony's today 30 years ago ....
Please do not misunderstood me: Sony did a lot of smart moves to change the business out of a basically desolate position, they have my full respect! But nobody can beat physics. And physics tells Sony's mount has optical (and other) limitations.
Great review! Would love your review on he R6 as that is more the price point and mp size I was looking for.
"I won't do 4K, I love my (potato) laptop"
Canon: *8K*
andddddddddddddd r6 is the winner
Best reviewer ever in GB
You've got this review all wrong Christopher. You should start with the overheating issue and then never stop talking about it!
I 100% agree with your assessment that Canon marketed the 5R in a frankly bizarre way. This is a stills camera with added bonus of high quality video.
As a Canon shooter I think the R5 suits me perfectly apart from the cost, but I am working on that...
Thank you for the calm, real world review.
Please review R6 🙏
Here's a thought about stabilization tests. Rather than just testing the maximum shutter speed of the camera, stabilized, and compare that to the reciprocal rule, also test the camera unstabilized. The reason for this is that you are assuming you will get a sharp image with the reciprocal rule shutter speed, which is often untrue on high megapixel cameras.
For instance, say you are shooting on a 50mm lens. You find that, with stabilization, you get sharp images at around 1/25, so you conclude the camera has 1 stop of stabilization. However, if you were to test the camera unstabilized, you may find out that you only get sharp images at around 1/200, so you are actually getting 3 stops of stabilization, not just 1.
The reciprocal rule is a thing from the film days, and although helpful on 24-megapixel cameras, they are a bit slow for higher megapixel cameras.
Using this method also bypasses the idea of having stable hands or not, as your 'base metric' (unstabilized tests) is based on your own hands as well, not some rule.
Edit: also, the way you said "Bokeh" at 14:06 is amazing :P
So glad you go the R5, happy to see more rf lens reviews :)
I can't wait to test some lenses on that 45mp sensor :-)
@@christopherfrost can you predict if the lenses will perform better or worse on a 45MP sensor than on a smaller sensor? Or is it not possible to say than in general?
@@patrick.771 a bigger MP camera like the R5 will better review how sharp a lens really is, compared to say a smaller 20mp camera like the R6
patrick771 I have the R5 and the rf 28-70, 70-200 and the 85 1.2. They look so much better on the R5 then the R which I also still have as my second camera .
Thanks for your detailed review!
I have been waiting for your review to judge if I want to consider this as my new camera. You can clearly notice the ammount of work that has been put into the video!
The thing I'm missing (even it's topic is maybe better off in a second video) is how the R5 works with older EF (and maybe even EF-S) lenses. As far as I know, both should work for this camera.
Great video Chris. i have just got the R5 at 15.12 you mention dialing back on the reds - can you explain how you do this please? I have noticed the same issue Thanks
Totally wasted time watching, not a single word about picture profiles and presets half of video about video features which I couldn't care less
truthfully speaking only nikon can match canon jpegs haha...so yeah for wedding shooter...i stick with Canon and Nikon...but Canon mostly
16:20 Unless the Nikon Z50 and Canon M50 behave differently, it should be rather the opposite. Canon produces their most natural and best looking photos at the lowest contrast setting (because the default contrast setting is so bad, very unnatural), whereas low contrast settings don't always work well with the Nikon Z50 (it can look unnatural). The Z50 is able to make a slightly higher dynamic range visible than the M50, if the Z50 uses the strongest Active D Lighting setting. But the Z50 shows no preview of the Active D Lighting setting. If one doesn't use Active D Lighting due to this reason, then the Canon M50 + Highlight Tone Priority + lowest contrast setting + Fine Detail makes a higher dynamic range visible than the Nikon Z50.
Great job…! Thanks
Hey, Chris. Have I ever mentioned how I love your calm and well balanced reviews? Thanks for that. I am glad got the R5; not because you will be testing RF lenses, but because you are owning such a great camera. Enjoy!
I just ordered this camera cuz I wanted to get into mirrorless but not pay the super high end price of the R3. After I ordered it I went into watching reviews on it and when I came across your channel I remembered I watched a lot of your videos back when I bought my first camera. Especially the weather sealing was one of my points I wasn‘t too sure about from reading it up on the internet. Thanks for talking about it too! So from all I heard in your video I‘m even more excited to get it into my hands and I‘m sure it will be a major upgrade over my 90D I‘ve used for a couple years now. Can‘t wait! Edit: I read the overheating issue in 8K video shooting has been adressed in firmware. Is it a different story now?
I noticed on my R5 that stuck pixels (or are they hot pixels?) appear whenever the shutter speed is set to below 1/10 sec with a black image (lens cap on), and get more evident the slower the shutter speed - most noticeable at 30 sec shutter. Any shutter speed above 1/10 sec and faster, they completely disappear. This leads me to believe perhaps they're hot pixels, not stuck pixels? Interestingly, they appear on the EVF and LCD even before taking a picture. Does anyone have this as well?
Honestly, that A7R2 footage looks the worst by far! There is an illusion of detail, but it's probably softer than the low quality 4K on the R5. But the A7R2 footage has so much ugly digital sharpening and low-bitrate artifacting, it's really quite ugly by comparison. The low quality 4K R5 footage with some sharpening looks almost as good as the HQ mode, and much more natural than the A7R2 footage (and again, no low bitrate artifacting like the Sonys)
Thank you very much for another excellent review.
Is the mechanical shutter problem fixed with 1.2.0 firmware? If not, is this problem only for 1/100 shutter speed or all mechanical?
Has the image quality problem with full mechanical shutter mode shown in this video on the Canon R5 been resolved with firmware yet? Can't find the answer anywhere online.
I dont believe they marketed it a a video system, just the community that are headline reader that pushed it that way - for me the first things that hooked me was the af system and resolution
worth noting that the a7r2 is best at S35
Also the problem (at weddings for example), isnt recording the ceremony at 4k mush normal quality. its that after you record the ceremony in soft 4k, you dont have any 4k60 option to record the confetti on the way out
Thanks for waiting a month to gather your thoughts for your review. I prefer this over straight-out-of-the-box type reviews, where the reviewers always seem overly excited and sometimes insincere. I think I'll be trading in my EOS R and buying an R5 to replace it, I'm so glad they got rid of the stupid multifunction bar and replaced it with a joystick! That was easily my biggest annoyance with the EOS R (I had a 5D MK2 prior to it). I'm mostly a stills shooter so the R5's shortcomings in video mode don't really affect me.
What's the point I pay almost 4k for something that overheating
Only when shooting 8k, or if you're filming non-stop
Good camera in the winter months, keep your hands warm!! Canon did not market the R5 wrong they created a camera not fit for purpose. If a device has functionality it should work as described, if it doesn't work as described it clearly has design faults.
Your content is amazing 🙂 I just ordered this camera and I'm coming from the R. God bless you for your contribution to the Church ✝️ Jesus is our Lord and Savior 🙌
I should point out 20:54 the 1/8 aperture increments only works on Canon RF lenses, not any Canon lenses. Tried a few EF glasses on my RP and it wouldn't work.
great book collection
Hey Chris! awsome review! did canon fix the problem you mentioned with the vertical bleur at 100th ss?
I am a night photographer, you talk a little of the ISO performance, my question is were you place the camera when using high ISO. Thanks
Totally out of topic ... you should read the works of Dr. Taylor Marshall. He has history with the Anglican Church. Great Theologian.
I hoped it was an A7RIV, but I do understand the choice, now you have a pretty much level playing field for the big full frame players resolution wise going forward!
That's my way of thinking in not upgrading to the a7R IV :-) I think the 40mp area is a great resolution to test lenses, you get to challenge their performance, but it's not too far away from 24mp for those who shoot on lower resolution cameras.
Great review, thanks Chris! How does the warping effect of the electronic shutter compared to the R and do we have an exact sensor readout speed yet? I feel the R is especially sensitive to warping features in portraits even when stationary, slight movement of either person can cause warping and distortion. And any hope of an R6 review in the near future?
I found the warping effect to be surprisingly low on this camera although I haven't done any formal tests
Always a methodical and comprehensive review from Mr. Frost.
How does he get the menu recorded directly from the camera?
Using an external recorder
When i shoot video i use a Canon vixia HF G70. When I shoot images i use a DSLR or mirrorless.
Great video, very informative... maybe loosen up your voice a bit to sound less robotic, but hey getting all the precise infos is as precious hearing them from Data 😀
This may be stupid on the surface... how is the 1080p
Really like the moment when the CFexpress card pop out and you see Sony ! reminding me the a7SIII :)
He he. I love those Tough memory cards, and they're so fast.
I feel like canon will really nail it in their third generation, like sony did. These new canon cameras are alright though
Video is always extra with these kind of camera, when you want a camera with good video performance you should buy a camcorder, videocamera and/or cinemacamera with lenses. Glad some other people like me see that to.
Meanwhile ,i just got my old dream camera
Canon 5d mark ii ,
Pretty happy
Great review! Did you try the super 35 mode in 4K? I have seen some videos praising it, and it should not overheat in that mode.
I tried it but I didn't test it that carefully
How is the eye auto focus when there are multiple people in the frame like there would be at a wedding or group portraits? Does it stay on one person even if they look away or does it jump around if the target subject looks away?
Chris, really nice review. Thank you for your work!
Great, another plastic fantastic, that will be worn in 3 years against 3.000 usd.
There's no other camera in the world that i want more.
I notice the “Mode” word on the top button is one degree off the horizontal, just like mine.
Will the Canon 580EX2 flash work on the R5?
If you attached an L bracket to the R5 would the bracket act like a heat sink and help dissipate the heat?
Уже и за камеры взялся
