THANKS YOU FOR 2.5 MILLION SUBS!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!! Be sure to check out that give-away! YA MIGHT JUST WIN IT!

It sounded like you were trying to sell the camera, especially when you were making the cons of camera sound like pros. “The lack of 120p is good because it will challenge me.” Cmon...

Edited: Just got the R and the way you can shoot photos and then quickly record is setup your video settings in C3 mode, then go to photo mode. Then while you are in photo mode you hit the record button on top and you are recording video with the C3 settings video settings! Mind blown, this is a game changer! Hope that helps Pete!

That moment when you’re a year too late for the give away😭😭😭

I tried switching to the R after shooting a 5D3 for years... size, touchscreen, and swivel screen are very cool, but I agree that it does feel a little slower. Still has that beautiful Canon look though!

Um so can I borrow it? please? like now? ahhhh cant wait to test it

Peter I have loved watching your videos but this seems to me like a commercial for Canon who buy all intents and purposes have failed to deliver with their first Mirrorless camera which doesn't come near the competition namely - Sony A7iii, Nikon Z6 Z7 and Fujifilm XT3 as a serious film maker its seems a bit disingenuous that you are trying to sell this camera as a viable option to other film makers! In fact, I think you did something similar with the Canon 6D Mkii when that came out and subsequently flopped. I get that you have got to make a living a I guess company sponsorships and affiliations are one way to go about it but seriously that is putting a huge company like Canon ahead of your humble viewers looking to improve their film making skills who are being sold on tech that just doesn't cut it. I was a faithful canon user for many years loved their cameras (still do) but as a professional film maker I had to put company loyalty aside and choose a camera that would deliver truly cinematic films hence i switched to Sony. If Canon came out with a camera that beat Sony at their own game, I'd switch in a moment because my clients deserve the best the market has to offer. Personally Peter, I think you need to put your viewers ahead of company affiliation to Canon, and judging by a ton of similar comments below I think others think that too.

I think I’m a little to late for the giveaway 😁😄🤣

10 months and 10 minutes to late to the giveaway 😔

The camera is just not good enough compare to Sony mirrorless .. :(

No more phat silky smooth buttery sweet delicious drizzled 120p? Cheers on the storytelling aspect, looking forward to the new b-roll segments 👌🏻

I'm sorry but it does seem a bit like you are making excuses for yourself to make up for the cameras clear faults. I've been there man. "This camera doesn't have 120fps so it's challenging me" is such a nice optimistic way of looking at trying to use a camera that failed to meet yours and everyone else's expectations and standards

6 months later, you never changed to this camera 🤔

you KNOW I've been waiting for this. ok brb watching now.

Can you do an update to this video?

Peter you should definitely talk about the Canon EOS RP, every KZfaqr has been ripping it apart for video but what do you think of it as a stills camera

I love it when reviewers of this camera mention the 1.7 crop factor in 4k ' well just get another lens' ! Yeah sure as I have lots of money to spend and instead of carrying around a smaller form factor camera as this is benefit of mirrorless. I can carry more lenses instead !

Half Truths: Canon intentionally limits you in ways that are inexcusable IMHO. - Selling you a full frame camera and then NOT allowing full frame 4k - not going 1080 120FPS - not stabilizing the sensor Sony & Panasonic both offer these basics. what they lack is the Canon color and the Dual Pixel AF. Sony has upgraded their focus systems though - getting close. Panasonic has upgraded their color in the GH5 which looks really nice - almost too clean though.

I picked this camera up and love it. My own perspective is all about personal skills and the functionality needed to learn and get better in this hobby (it's a hobby for me). In my case, this camera has everything I need at the moment and is working very well in the "field" - although, I recognize that spec to spec comparisons would make it seem weaker in relation to a couple other cameras. In my actual use of it - it is really, really good.

Using this camera for the 1st time right now and I LOVE IT. I've used Reds, Canons + Sonys Cinema Cams/DSLRs etc and this cam doesn't feel disappointing at all. The HD is great, and once you get used to the menu it's a breeze. The specs make it sound underwhelming but trust me this camera is fassst. Also i tested autofocus with lights off and got 10 out of 10 photos in focus so yes I am a happy camper.

x-t3 lookin pretty nice rn not gonna lie

LOL looks like the same Canon commercial I just saw from Devin Graham on the EOS R....

3rd time watching this Peter. I wish there was a way for me to explain to you how helpful you’ve been. I hope you are doing well and can’t wait to see your video tomorrow. I made a big step and got an EOS R myself!

dang pete celebrating 2.5 million and now he has 5.2 million, how time flies

What I like about your video is the fact you are always enthusiastic about your topics. Others discuss the camera with specs and what they don’t like. You discuss what you do like about the camera and what it can do for you and not making it sound like a review or critique. You discuss the lenses and the built in ND filter on the adapter. Anyone watching your channel knows how useful you find ND filters. For those who say.. the tech is 3 years old etc. It doesn’t matter what equipment you have. It is the person behind the camera Great video as always

Canon are the Apple of the camera world.

I think I understood about 10% of what he said, but he says it with so much enthusiasm that it’s still compelling. I stumbled across this channel recently. I’ve always been interested in possibly getting involved in photography, but haven’t done so. That’s probably part of the reason why my comprehension level on this topic is currently low, but it’s still interesting.

2 years later and I just bought this. I’m no pro which is why I didn’t go with the newest and greatest on the market. That being said, I love this camera so much that I can’t even describe it in a simple KZfaq comment lol

Hi Peter. I hope my views are not taken in a wrong way. We all know your love for canon. But don't you think of all the mirrorless cameras launched recently, Fuji XT-3 took the cherry? I mean for the price point and the features (4k, 60fps, 4.2.0, 4.2.2 to list a few), its overtaken both Nikon and canon by big margin. Again this is not criticism but just an observation. Peace :)

I love your admission that moving to a system that instills a few limitations has the potential to improve who you are as an artist.

Canon be like : I can write all sorts of zeroes in this cheque..

No IBIS, no dual card slots, cropped 4K, no 120fps in 1080p, no eye af... yeah great camera to have in 2018. THE one thing it does have though is the flippy screen. You gotta give em that.

But I come HERE FOR the 120p B-roll.

It's a nice camera, I just can't justify the purchase knowing that Sony blows this out of the water at a similar/lower price point. I'm a Canon shooter too lol.

Maybe now people will stop calling high frame rates “cinematic”. It isn’t.

Peter, do a follow up video.

I am a Canon user for over two decades now (I switched from film to digital in 1997 with the Canon PowerShot 600). My FF continues to be an aging 5dMk2 and I am doing some video with my SL2. I have been waiting for Canon to catch up with Sony on the mirrorless/4k platform ... and, sadly, ... I am still waiting. You convey enthusiasm for the R - this may be, in part, owing to having sold a part of your soul to Canon (I am not accusatory, I get it that you run a business and all - but, you did magic ... which is theater ... so the enthusiasm may just be theater - just saying). My reaction to the R system is ... meh. I did a hiking tour in Portugal earlier this year. Both guides were photographers and both were using Sony. I was captivated with the build quality, performance and images they were garnering. If not for the huge expense and time/energy to learn new menus, etc., I'd be temped switch. Meanwhile ... I will hold onto my aging 5dMk2 and SL2 and likely pour my resources into a DJI Mavic2 Pro once they get the firmware tricked out. Canon needs to up its game on the mirrorless platform ... and soon.

how much money did you get from canon?

Peter, I don't know whether to curse you or bless you. I just upgraded from the Canon 20D to the Canon EOS R. I realize the more experience photographers my not like the R but I LOVE it!! Its interface is intuitive, the versatility is light years beyond what I had (I know, duh), the weight makes it easier for me to take it with me anywhere. Not to mention the ability to program the multifunction buttons so it feels like I have a camera made just for me. Thank you for this review. It helped me make the jump.

I dont know why but i really want that minature 1dx mk2 just to joke that i have an 8000$ camera

Watching this a noticed that because you are way invested into Canon system you missed all these benefits of mirrorless for at least five years! Sonys and Fujis and others are way ahead.

Get the Fujifilm X-T3. Be aware though, Fuji will not pay you as much as Canon does.

YT is weird - this was highlighted for me today, and it's from September 2018. Your videos are always fun to watch.

Would love to try this camera out!! I've been planning on starting my KZfaq channel and its all thanks to you Peter! You're the best when it comes to photography/videography!!

Lol. This man could sell ice to an Eskimo. Can't be mad at you. You have to maintain your business relationships.

While I absolutely would never switch from the 1dxii to the EOS R, Peter could film a great project with a ham sandwich. And that’s what the EOS R is, a ham sandwich.

2018 was the year the LUMIX G9 came out. MOST people ignored it. Today, it's still my go-to camera. In fact, I'm buying another body today. It shoots 4K/60p. It shoots HLG. It shoots 10bit 4:2:2 internal. It shoots HEVC. It can adapt pretty much any lens (to MFT). But somehow, it got ignored. I don't want a camera that is going to bounce around my crop factor when I change video resolution. I still have a bunch of EF-L glass that I refuse to sell, and so I was tempted to buy a EOS-R because it;s cheaper now, but nah. It's so lame in it;s feature set. It's fun to tout it;s limitations as a way to improve your artistry, but that's just making excuses for a lame product. I think Cripple Canon must have done a lot of sweet deals with all the top influencers. Still not buying it...

I just got the EOS R, it is great. I shoot product and life style. The easiest way to change to video, is to click on the red Botton on the top. That's it. To get started press Mode -Info make your selection. Then you can shoot some video. Then Click the mode - info again and go back to photo. It remembers what ever setting. Now you can shoot photos. Press the top red button again and you are recording in video. Don't have to press Mode - Info anymore. Unless you want to change a setting on the video mode. Like AV or TV etc. Hope that answers that question you had about taking too long change between video and still. Keep up the good work. Loved your movie about the bucket shot. Amazing shot.

all i can say to this is A7iii. Not everyone has lens already to compensate for that crop and all that tech that the EOS R has, Sony has already done. I just bought the A7iii and its arriving and from all the reseach ive done it looks like im in good hands.

Peter claimed to have been using the 1DX Mark II for 4-5 years, but the camera has only been out for 3 years 😭

My son recommended this camera. Looking for reviews. You showed things no one else has. Love your energy.

2.5M subs then to close to 6M subs now is amazing and well deserved! Your knowledge, talent and energy are welcomed always. Thank you! Btw, I'm very anxious to see what camera tech will be like when you get to 10M subs. Until then, PEACE!!

Out of all the camera releases this year this one was the worst. To say this camera even shoots 4k is so deceiving and quite frankly disrespectful. The huge crop makes it worse than apsc crop factor. 1 card slot, same old sensor, and no IBIS makes this camera 3 years old at launch. The new lenses for this mount looks good but the price is creeping up Otus level.

Good luck winning that camera, everyone!

That lens is huge it looks like my coffee mug

Peter...the rolling shutter.... you didnt see it? Really? Come on bro....

Oh s*** thatt camera shrink was fantastic!! 😂😂

Your 1DX MKIII was amazing at 1:19 !

that camera is so handy that even beginers can experiment so easily

Awesome video!! You have basically made my decision for me, just purchased the EOS R and am extremely excited to get it.

you the man Peter! Thanks for everything, from the giveaways, the tutorials, inspiration and great content! I've learned a lot just from your channel

It looks so awesome, but painfully too expensive 😭

So cool! I hope the next EOS mirror less will have 1080p 120fps, and photo frame rate more than 16pfs

Everytime i watch your videos i get so motivated to go out and take some photos! You always know how to get people pumped! Love your videos

Once I experienced 120fps I knew there was no switching back. Idk why people would buy this over an A7III

Nope. Gh5 + all Leica "Panasonic" Lenses are still my absolute favorite in terms of capabilites. Sensor size is not the most important thing 😊 Gh5 already had Vlog 10 bit 4:2:2 All Intra one year ago. That people even talk about the EOS R is crazy 😂

Unfortunately, the story doesn't end there. This 10-bit color is only for 4K external recording with the gigantic 1.8x crop as you said nicely. The EOS-R cannot shoot 10-bit 1080p, neither internally nor externally. If you want uncropped video on the EOS R you have to use 1080p; but, it's only possible on 8-bit, internally with 4.2.0 externally with 4.2.2 color sub-sampling. Only the $7500 C200 and the $10000 C300mII can shoot (full-sensor) 10-bit 1080p from the arsenal of Canon cameras. When you shoot C-Log, you can only use manual exposure mode on the EOS R, not even auto ISO with EC dialing is available. Typically you set the shutter to 180 degree, and adjust the ND filter on the lens/or in the drop-in adapter, aperture with the control ring on the adapter, or ISO with the touch bar. For an experienced videographer this is not necessarily a big deal, but keep all these in mind, if this is OK to your workflow. If you can live with the 1.8x 4K crop, then the EOS R is potentially a "professional mirrorless" (as marketed by Canon), since it is capable of outputting 10-bit 4K from the 20.6 mm wide central area of its 36mm sensor. Since the external recorder has no recording length limit, the EOS R + C-Log with Atomos can do something only the $7500 - $10000 C200, C300mII can do. The EOS R has more advanced image recording specs than the $3500 C100mII. The Canon 5DmIV, 1DXmII cannot output 4K, neither anything 10-bit. The mighty 1DXmII cannot even shoot C-Log. In this perspective, and if we ignore the competition (who cares what other manufacturers make) the EOS R is absolutely worth its price; but, if and only if you can or willing to exploit and use/need these videography features. If you don't buy an Atomos, the 10-bit 4K recording possibility of the EOS R is just a number on a piece of paper.

3 years later, would you buy it? Because I'm about to... any advise?

No 120fps is a real shame. Can't think as to why they wouldn't include it here.. they must know it is a major selling point for Sony's mirrorless range. In face, it is what has been tempting me to switch to Sony for a while. When this was revealed I was over the moon to think finally Canon were releasing a mirrorless camera that could shoot at 120fps and I could not even think about going to Sony - I was shocked at finding out it isn't there. Maybe in 3 more years...

This guy is a huge Canon fanboy. Canon Full frame mirrorless is at least 2 generations behind Sony’s. Don’t take my words for it. Do some research.

Man Awesome timing. About 7 Years ago, I stopped shooting photography because of other commitments in like. Now, that I am able to get back into photograpy again I have to start doing research on what is out there for me to tap into. I do miss my 5D MKIII. However, I feel like there are some many platforms out there that can help me get back into photography again. Now Canon decides to release such a great camera and new platform, I am in need of this set-up. Thanks Peter I appreciated it so much for the information and reviews.

1:11 I think I've just fallen in love.

2500$ is just ridiculous for what you're getting... I mean just look at the A7III, it's better in almost every single way and on top of that it's cheaper!

Not once since I started watching your videos years ago have I disliked a video. Until today. The whole video I thought “wow, seems like he’s sacrificing a lot of what he uses in his camera” and then I realized it’s in association with Canon... and that you were selling out. How about the 1 card slot Peter? Or lack of 120fps? And the crop at 4K? These are all things you’re sacrificing for some brand deal. I’m guessing you’ll wait a few weeks, maybe months, and go back to using your 1DX MK2.

canon should make the adapter with the variable ND filter in it for their regular EF cameras

As Always Interesting content. I want to confirm If You can Reply At 5:08 in this video You said that you can combat that by putting EFS Lens. Meaning here that if EFS lens put on crop sensor then-No crop factor. Means If We put on EFS 18 - 135mm on Canon 80D(crop sensor) then There will be no cropping. Efs 18mm on crop body will give exactly the same view as a Ef lens on full-frame sensor body.

This was more of a product sponsorship video sorry about that but I always love watching your videos

I got a chance to play with the EOS R at a local camera store recently and I was super impressed with it. In my opinion the best thing was the viewfinder. It felt so quick and responsive compared to some EVF’s and it was SO sharp! Everything else felt very responsive about the camera as well and the menus were really good as always. I’m just bummed about the crop in 4K but beyond that it was pretty sweet.

That was so satisfying to see that ball come together! :)

THank you for putting in the time to teach us and take us on your journey.

Who drops a $6k camera for a $2k enthusiast camera with less features for professional work? WTH?

Come on, even APS-C camera such as A6300 which is few years old now does 10 bit with recorded or 8 bit in camera S-log 2 and S-log 3 and you can even achieve 12 stops of dynamic range for well under USD 1,000 and no cropped 4K. Take A6500 and you also get IBIS. This canon R is overpriced and already too old given the specs...

Peter is a Canon guy! so what do you expect? He just enjoys so much smelling his new toys! Good job Pete!

I’m a barber but I love taking pictures n watching your videos helps me to get better on shooting... keep dropping them dips video 👌🏾🙏🏽

The price though.. (i 3 i) it's even more than a Sony A7iii with IBIS. Not that I can afford either anyway.

Who here wants to see McKinnon trying a Sony camera ?! 😅

8 months of vacation late to watch this video =[ now 3.6m subs thats awesome!

Nice review ever Big up...,straight outta Kenya🇰🇪...,East Africa

Everyone's really focused on the switch from the 1DX Mark II to this, but I'd be REALLY curious to know more about how it compares to the 5D Mark IV since they're a little closer to the same price range.

When Canon pay you great money! You can say anything to make it sell. Remember Peter was a camera salesman in his past job!

Bro! at that camera squish at the beginning I glanced back and forth at the exact time you did and it made me so bewildered XD

You can set the record button to auto record based off a specific custom number. So, if custom 2 is are set up for video, you can stay in M and when you press record it will use the settings from custom 2. When you stop recording it will automatically go back to your M settings.

It seems that a lot of people just discovered that Peter was getting Canon paid. Got to love humanity

Yea.. 120fps in at least 1080p is what I am missing, that it only has 720p and with no autofocus is really sad.

This camera actually does have 120p. But it only does 720Hd.

Switched to Sony a few months back and I haven't regretted it since :)

A Peter McKinnon review is not just a normal review. PM-EFFEKT 🔥 always love watching stuff i can't afford 😂

I believe the record button automatically allows you to record when in photo mode and your settings in C3 are the settings for that hybrid video mode that allows you to switch quickly without changing modes that you explained in the video

Brilliant video and I can never get enough of the color grading sliding across the screen. I'm looking into this one, Peter. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the review, Peter! I'm trying to buy a new camera and was looking for a full review on the EOS R. Your review was just what I needed! Keep up the great work!
