I haven't found anybody who talks as fast and makes as much sense - you're message is always clear as a bell, that's a real talent. Thanks for jumping out in traffic and spreading this fair side of the R. Seems so many reviewers just want the camera their own way, and fail to mention the "other" people out there who are going to find this a very nice camera. The most important thing about this camera is that it is finally going down the road of mirrorless and the huge potential Canon's opening itself up to (along w/ the others) - and they did a very fine job of making a still camera for photography. And you just stated that and I thank you....

I really like this review. So many others are 1) just noise & 2) compare every new camera to the best hypothetical camera, taking the best traits of everything out there, and criticize every new camera for not having everything the best camera has. If it did, it would be called, “camera,” and there would only be one company making “camera.” Competition & innovation are the best for consumers. I mean, they act like no human being has ever been able to take photos with a camera before the latest camera came out. Thanks for pointing out these features!

Gerald Undone I’m curious about the data rate of the EOS R, 480Mb/s seems like great quality on paper. Have you compared it to GH5 400Mb/s in 8bit? In theory, it should be cleaner, with no artifacting (like Sony mirrorless), but I suspect it doesn’t compete with GH5/GH5s. Maybe the 8bit still has artifacts or maybe the EOS R with recorder 10bit ProRes competes? I’m guessing 2019’s Canon 5R will replace the 5D iv with every feature missing from the EOS R & 2020’s Canon 1RX will replace the 1DX. I’m still. it sure would ever release a video-centric mirrorless, like the Panasonic S1 or the a7siii. Canon previously released their 8k sensor; I just think everyone else will release their 6k & 8k mirrorless & mini cinema cameras first. The EOS R is a mirrorless 6Diii, & a great upgrade from 6Dii and 5Diii; although I’m still on the fence. Fuji XT3 has stolen my heart though (for video); FF 30Mp vs APS-C 26Mp (for photography) :/ (Can I wait 3months for Panasonic to release their full specs? (Why I don’t sleep). Solution: Make more money, buy everything.

My only suggestion, if I can make one, is that I'd alter your intro's and drop the "he's crazy" wording. You're obviously a smart, switched on guy, who comes across well, so the whole "He's crazy" vibe is less whacky or edgy than it is a touch lazy. The video, the music, both fine, I'd just suggest putting a little more thought into some wording. Only my 2c though...

Amusing :) As an existing Canon DSLR owner, the adapter is an obvious big plus, if I bought into this range I don't have to throw away or trade my existing lens collection. The other thing I too really like is the manual focus arrows because "back in the day" of wetfilm, we got things like split rings as focus aids but nobody has come up with an equivalent in digital technology until now.

@SourDonut99 5 жыл бұрын

I don't think any system is worth changing into if you are already an established photographer with gear. It basically goes down to button placement, grip, and weight. Honestly I don't know why people nit pick about these things. As far as actual sensor performance goes. The Sony BSI sensors in the Sony and Nikon cameras are clearly superior but honestly not by much. I wouldn't lose sleep over it at all. Yes Canon doesn't have IBIS and that does kinda suck but once again I wouldn't sell glass over it. You can just use stabilized glass. However for new users or people who want to swap. The new Canon mirrorless offering is definitely the weakest of the bunch. The Sony A7III is still going to eat it for breakfast.

@@amphotography1746 do they ? Jolly good I think that it should be standard. I like having a "small system" camera kit alongside my DSLRs for those times when you don't want to haul heavy kit, over 18 months I used first a Lumix G7 and then upgraded to a G80/85, I also have some vintage glass from the wet film era which I use with adapters, obviosly. The only aid you get is focus peaking and I was surprised to find that this was far better on the Canon M series than the Panasonics so I traded that kit in and bought an M6 instead.

@johnhaynes9910 5 жыл бұрын

@@SourDonut99 Dear Ian, I think the point you make about new users and the Sony A7III still being the one to beat is absolutely right because for now it really is. Canon clearly hasn't got the processors currently to match and I think it will take them about 3 iterations to get to equal bearing in mind that Sony won't be standing still in the meantime. However and despite all the fuss, does it really matter ? Talking in UK £s, I really don't see £2,000 + for a body a "starter" camera, half that or less is most likely closer the mark. As to why "less than half price" it is simply that currently the most expensive phones which the majority of people use for photography are around £1,000 and the average punter will see them as more "useful" and flexible than a camera that only does one thing and isn't available with a calling plan thrown in for a set monthly amount. :)

I’ve had the 5D mark 4 and it’s super heavy and it’s 4K is so huge that you need special cards to be able to record well. It also didn’t have a flip screen, which makes it nearly impossible to film well when on a gimbal. I sold it and got me the EOS R. The best camera from Canon after the R5 and R6. It has so many new technology features that you won’t find in DSLRs. Also, I love the feature in the R when you can switch from video to photo while keeping the different settings. I hated to change all the settings again on the 5D when switching to video and vice versa.

Thanks for the heads up on EF/EF-S compatibility with the adapter. I remember cutting the back off my 10-18mm when I realized I couldn't put it on my 5D3. It works extremely well with Magic Lantern where you're crop is sort of user-customizable.

@gmolina 5 жыл бұрын

Love that focus guide! It's way more practical than peaking on a small display. I wonder how they're achieving that guide in terms of precision and how "linear" the reference is to the movement of the focus ring on different lenses, because it would be so much easier to develop muscle memory once you get used to the lenses.

Deeper customization of the display screens so I can control what information I want to see, and low price adapters that will work for all existing EF lenses. This is what a review is suppose to be. Instead of just saying what something can not do, mention positives and maybe other camera companies will say, "Hey, people like that feature in Canon, (or any other brand), maybe we should do it". Keep up your great work.

If you use the EVF, you don’t have to use the dpad to change the focus points, that’s just an option, but you could actually place your thumb on the screen while you’re looking through the EVF to change the focus points. No need for a joystick at all. Also the weird touchpad thing at the top could be programmed to do anything such as change ISO.

Adding EF-S lenes are such a good value for this camera especially if you buy used . Totally agree with the focus box. The camera is infinitely customizable. I really enjoy shooting with it. I use the bar to zoom in for focus either manual or auto and the right side to set ISO to auto and I use the light display button to turn on WiFi.

just tested this camera today. Pure joy to use, so easy and a breeze to set up and take pictures. Very responsive and an excellent EVF. However, I just felt that it's tad bit slow in shutter response, compared to what we are used to now in camera of this price range. Knowing what Canon is capable of, I just felt that this is just a testing model for something more finished and "pro" waiting in line. All said and done, this is still an EXTREMELY CAPABLE camera and the new lens is DIVINE. Thats the only word to describe it. The resolution it renders, and the colors are so so so good plain out of the box. Feel like a cut from Arri Alexa.

Two things: if you use an EF-S lens, it brings the resolution down to 10mp - which I think you gloss over too quickly. Second thing, which is more a question... using the d-pad for focus point is well and good, but my M5 can be set to use the screen as an AF trackpad while looking through the EVF (which I find way more useful than trying to use the d-pad). Is this functionality absent from the EOS-R? Thanks for a unique and positive perspective, and not the constant whining that other reviewers have done.

You didn't mention Touch and Drag AF on the EOS R. When your face is against the viewfinder you can designate any corner or side of the screen you wish to remain sensitive for moving your auto focus point. This can be done in absolute, which I don't like because you can't easily go to the other side of the frame. Or, it can function more like a traditional joystick and is very responsive. On the M5 and M50 I found this to be very easy to get comfortable with in lieu of a proper joystick.

I like this method of reviewing (what gets praised gets repeated), because if Canon scraps every good idea just because the market response rejects the whole package then they'll go back to being non-innovative, and I think they're at their best when they try and fail and stumble on something cool, like putting the ND filter BEHIND the lens so you don't have to buy one for each lens. It seems like if they offered what youtubers are asking for: Flippy screen, small body, 4k with no crop, mic input, two card slots, dual pixel autofocus, EF lens compatibility, and body for $1,000...that KZfaqrs would buy the crap out of that.

The manual focus assist feature on the EOS R is nice in how comprehensive it is as a focus aid. I'm jealous! The adapter mounting both EF and EF-S lenses is convenient for the EOS R video. For other companies, specifically Nikon with FX/DX and Sony with FE/E lenses, the full frame cameras have always been able to mount the APS-C lenses. Canon had the restriction, I believe because the EF-S lens would get too close to the full frame mirror, so obviously the mirrorless camera can drop the restriction.

After getting used to it, this works quite fast, even with gloves…

I wanted to buy this camera, but was hesitant because it's the first generation of Canon's full frame mirrorless cameras... since the price is getting cheaper, I will be buying it soon. Your videos are informative and help with my decisions. Thank you for sharing... Keep doing that, Gerald Undone!

I have been using the LCD "Touch and Drag" feature to change my focus point while looking through the VF. Works wonders!

So the EOS-R comes with a built-in Atari game... :P Nice review, u deserve way more views and followers 👍🏻 the XT3 has a sweet octagon prism kinda weird name for a manual focus but seems interesting, like retro cameras

@geraldundone 5 жыл бұрын

Ha. Exactly! Thanks, mate. And yeah, I've used that function on the X-T3. I personally didn't find it that useful, but I see what they were going for. Reminded me of film cameras a bit.

I thought that those two methods sounded similar, too. Gerald, I wondered if you could you expand on why the Fuji prisming doesn't seem that useful, yet the Green Arrow(tm) does? :) P.S. I'm also very interested in any info on manual focus with the upcoming L-mount cameras (in due time, of course;)

Please correct me if I'm wrong: If we use EF-S lenses on the R to shoot 4K video, light wise, we only lose that 0.2 diffrence in light. Effective focal length would be [EF-S focal length] × 1.8; no need for another ×1.6. When shooting stills, it's back to FL × 1.6, you have a 30 mega pixel image, full light. If so, that would be actually very cool =)))). Also, Dear Gerald. Your videos are so great, educational at core, well produced, well present. I think "Canon EOS R" topic would really take the chanel much further. I really like some little touch of science in your videos, very refreshing. Really looking forwards to your future videos. Regards. Trang

Thanks, Trang! Really appreciate your kind words and support. As for your question, you're right that you wouldn't also apply the 1.6x crop. It's just the 1.8x and that's it. The only issue with stills is that you wouldn't be getting 30MP after you crop 1.6x. If you used the 30MP image you would see vignette from where the circle of the EF-S lens ends. So you would have to punch in 1.6x to eliminate the vignette, which would give you more like 18MP. Some lenses have less vignette than others especially if they're zoom lenses, so you might be able to crop less, but you will have to crop some.

Gosh, Canon is such a master at "Do it this way!". When you use EF-S lenses on the EOS R, you cannot shoot 1080p 60fps or 720p 120p, only 24p regardless of video resolution, as Kai Wong showed in his new review. Also, in 1080p, you have to shoot at 1.8 crop. The latter can be understood though, as you pointed out different lenses can have different vignetting effect, so 1.8 could be a safe bet and less confusing, only have to remember the 1.8x. But no slow-mo what so ever, why Canon? (Kai's video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9RybK5i2byVn2w.html )

Nice review! Finally someone who has the time to dig through the functions of the new camera. One thing I'd like to ask, do we get an audio meter or anything that can monitor the audio level when shooting video?

@geraldundone 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Thomas. And yes, I don't have the camera with me anymore, but I distinctly remember seeing a meter in the bottom left corner for L/R audio levels.

@@geraldundone wow, thank you for replying, Gerald! This is definitely another positive feature Canon adds to this camera. A clean and clear audio is also essential to a quality video work.

What makes you say it's a step down from the 5D4? I believe it's the same sensor but with better autofocus and a newer processor.

@UnconventionalReasoning 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, with the EOS R and the adapter, the Canon APS-C lenses can be used on the full frame (FF) body. Nikon and Sony both have full frame and APS-C lenses. The difference is that their APS-C lenses could always be used on their FF bodies. Canon had the restriction because the mirror in the FF DSLR could hit the back element of an EF-S lens. With a Canon *mirrorless* body, that issue is removed.

I dont know if you've tried using the touch screen to pick focus during EVF use, but I personally really enjoy it. I find it faster than a joystick now that I'm getting used to it. Thanks for sharing the tips and your thoughts!

If you use an adapter to mount an APS-C crop lens like the EF-S 10-22, the camera will automatically turn into a 11.6 megapixel (4176x2784) crop camera. Small detail before you rush buying apc lenses to get that "better image quality" :)
