Canon EOS R - A Wedding Photographer's Review

- The Canon EOS R was voted one of the most disappointing cameras in 2018 to be released. I myself almost wrote it off as not even an option. Short end of this story is that I now LOVE it.

My first comment ever on CZcams. So this is a big deal.
This was a beautiful video end to end. Cinematography is beautiful.
I’ve subscribed and hope to see more like this.
I have a huge interest in photography and have watched countless videos and read many articles. I’m leaning to the EOS R as my first camera.
Thanks for the video!
This is a great review man. You're very well spoken and actually give great insight compared to a lot of people. I love how you also incorporated some of your images as well. Two thumbs up!
Great review, and I really enjoyed the cinematic segments that you included. Wonderful work David. Thanks!
I sold my 5 D III and purchased this camera. I am very pleased with my choice.
Great decision.
Lawrence Keeney that’s awesome to hear!
can u share 1 or 2 things u don't like about the R?
wow how is it!? I have a canon SL2
@iniyan kannaa wow
Good to see a review from someone that understands how the camera works? Thank you.
Paul LaNoue thank you so much and you are most welcome!
Agreed.potato jet also have honest review of eos r as it is.
Best and most honest review I‘ve seen for the EOS R so far! 👍🏻
The best review i've ever seen from anyone in youtube, I really liked your perspective from a wedding photographer...my one true concern was the single sd card slot on the camera, but you seen to manage that as well so props to you, loved the review and hope to see more content from your channel. Thank you
Dave, I really appreciate your review. It was very indepth. I had to subscribe to your channel after watching this video. Keep up the good work.
Very helpful and informative review, David! Thank-you so much! Truly appreciate your insight and wisdom shared :)!!
i love your review , very honest and straight forward. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm just getting my EOS R and I'm excited to learn all that it can do.
Thanks ive been on the fence about getting this camera but i need it for the exact same reason. This will be my Birthday gift to myself
One of the best videos I’ve seen on the Canon EOS R!!!
A lot of the alleged "dislike" for this camera is from very vocal Sony fans who go out of their way to criticize every new Canon release every chance they get.
Ji Drztgc Sony has done a great job winning people over, and I agree that a lot of those newly converted and established peeps are getting emotional about their brand loyalty. It’s all about choosing the best tool for you and the job irregardless of brand.
Now this is a very random comment!
I'm a retired professional using all Canon gear. Bought myself A7III, now I understand why people bash Canon so bad.
A lot of dislike for this camera comes from current Canon DSLR users who expected more.
@@reg171reg as a Canon DSLR user, i agree.
First of your videos I've seen of yours and I just subscribed! You're fantastic man thank!
Awesome review! Looking forward to your future contents!
Thank you Joe! I appreciate it :)
WOAH...you only have 308 subs. You definitely deserve more bro. Great video!
Thank you for such a down to earth honest review/discussion, really found it helpful.
I really appreciate your review. Thanks for taking the time.
The first positive review I've come across. I'm thinking about upgrading from 5D3.
Great video 🤙
Manny Ortiz well hot damn day made. Love your stuff brother that means a lot!
You are my biggest inspiration broq🤙😊😊😊😊
legend
a tip: watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Dominick Drake definitely, I have been watching on flixzone} for years myself :D
great video... I can’t wait until I get my own next week
Thank you, this video made me considering to buy the Canon R.
David, Just stumbled across your review. Thanks much, this has been super helpful...very down to earth and applied. Well done, Craig
Craig thank you so much for the kind words appreciate the support!!
Doing the good lords work with this review! Nicely done! :D
Just purchased one after renting a pair for a wedding. I was shooting with a 5D MKIII before, but this is now my primary camera. Absolutely love it.
Aaron Atkinson awesome man glad you are happy with it!
Thanks for dropping your opinions on this camera. I appreciated hearing your take....as I'm a wedding, engagement and portrait photographer myself. I'll be upgrading my 5D Mark II's soon and have bypassed upgrading before for the seemingly "minor" improvements. I think I'm far enough behind now to bite on an upgrade. I'm still making money and producing great images with my 5D Mark II's but I desire some of the benefits of a newer camera. : articulating screen, better ISO performance, more focus points, face tracking, lighter weight/smaller size, better quality photos (dynamic range, image quality, Megapixels). Thanks again for the review ;o)
Thorough and thoughtful.
Hey buddy. I have been shooting a Sony a7r3 since it's release and am a former canon shooter . Though I'll likely never return to canon I also me a good video. Great video man! Keep up the good work! Very informative for those that are looking for a eos r
All Cars United thanks man! In the end whatever works best for you is what you need!
Great review. I took the plunge with the EOS-R. My primary work food photography both in studio and on site. The articulating screen is critical for me. I can compose my shots on screen. In addition, all of my shoots require overhead 90 degree shoots and being able to swing the screen around is great. The focus system if sweet.
Hello! 😊 I really like your videos, very cinematic and creative but still so much informative! I hope you can give me an advice. Im really torn if I should buy A7III or Canon EOS R. Which one works better in flash wedding photography? Thank you in advance!
thanks for your video, although there are fewer lack of like IBIS and 4k limitation, but i am also still loving it...
Hi and thank you for the video! Happy canon eos R owner here. Are you using a neutral profile + preset for the video work or you are talking about pictures? Thanks.
hi,David first i want to say : "great videos and congratulatios!!",im learning to use a camera and i want to buy the sony a9 and my question is: can i use the 15mm irix blackstone with sony a9 or need to buy a conver? for your help....thanks.
Thank you for this review; using my EOS R more than my Sony; the more I use it and customize the buttons and the ring; it allowed me to take excellent photos faster and with more enjoyment. Sony and Canon and even some of the newer cameras are so good it leaves just the marginal personal opinion(s); we are all blessed to be living now to have access to all these new tools. BTW i changed the * button as well; "happy"
JOHN KIMMER you nailed it John! We are incredibly spoiled and fortunate to have the tech we do today even compared to 5 years ago. It’s astounding. Thanks for commenting!
This makes me even more excited for my EOS R to arrive tomorrow! I have never owned a camera with dual card slots and it's never been an issue. I primarily shoot portraits and fashion so it's not hard to reshoot most of the time and of it's a big client we shoot tethered. Love the hard drive idea. I even looked at making my own using an SSD and raspberry pi but this might be more reliable.
This was the review video I was looking for, I've been debating if it was worth yo buy the EOS R as a second camera, I have a 5D Mark IV and I sold the Mark III I had as a backup camera because I felt it was already too outdated, so I saved some more money to jump to the 6D Mark II for backup but then I was like, I can put a couple more $$ and get the EOS R, and shoot with the Mark IV and the EOS R during a wedding.
I've never shot with a DSLR and Mirrorless at the same time and I don't know if it'll be too much a difference jumping from camera to camera, I really want your opinion on this since you use both Mark IV and EOS R, and you're a hybrid wedding photo and video shooter like me. Tell me what do you think? I'll buy the EF adapter since I already have a lot of L lenses.
I have the Crane 2 and I wanted a lighter setup because the Mark IV is very heavy, and especially when I'm doing destination weddings or just travel photography I was thinking that this mirrorless would be a great upgrade. I love Sony and I know all the good Sony A7rIII features, but I'm a Canon shooter and I want to stick with that, and even tho 1 is DSLR and the other is mirrorless, I think they can look very similar.
I'm in the middle of a crisis because I want to make a desition now, I have a big event to shoot this next week and I want to do the investment as soon as I can, so... Canon 6DmII or EOS R??
Thanks!! follow my work on Instagram @eugene_drake
Awesome review. Can you link the SSD that you mentioned?
Hi, could you share the LUT you used to color your video footages? Thanks.
Nice video with great information! Thanks
I have one and love it also. Great walk around camera for every day shooting. Image quality in all lighting conditions is outstanding. Being able to use all my AF lenses is a huge plus. I have not used it on a wedding yet but I expect I will at some point.
Nice vid, very informative. Thank you!
Thanks for your honest opinion of this camera. I’m currently looking to upgrade my gear. I’m a Canon guy with tons of L-glass. Normally shot with a 6d mk2, I also own a 80d, M50 & a g7x! I get professional results from them all because I’ve learned I’m the professional not the camera! I think that’s the problem with most of the reviews seen on CZcams. I guarantee you most doing them don’t own them! Happy shooting! 📸
Welcome to the Jones' Nailed it man! You are the professional and a pro can get pro results from any camera they use. Cheers brother thanks for the comment!
This did help, thank you can you tell me if the LCD display has any Merrit over the Dial, do you find it quicker , easier to see, or have you used the Scroll bar for anything as of yet. ?
How do you change focus point ? With navigation button or touch and drag ? I want to use touch and drag instead of joystick but some reviewers said that NOSE gets in the way and change the focus ! This is the only reason I am confused If i am going to buy this or not. Please help me out !
Refreshing review
Hey David! Fantastic video, but was curious to your experience with the 1DX II for Weddings?
A Z thank you so much! Loved everything about the 1dx for weddings except the size. To be honest everything else was fantastic. But the size and weight along with the price tag definitely have to be considered.
Hi! thank you for review! I am surprised that you have so small amount of subscribers. I am straggle which camera get.. canon 5dmark4 or canon eos r
I've searched many specs and videos about many pro cameras and I could help. First question, what are you planning to shoot? And what equipment do you currently own?
Hey, so which lenses do you use for weddings?
I'm wondering whether the 1.8 aperture lenses are sharp enough, or totally not...
Great review.. I had been teetering between the 5dIV and the R.. I'm using a t1i so either would be a huge step up.. I have decided to go ahead adn wait a while (what's another year?) until I hear more about Canon's "Pro Mirrorless" because I feel though it will be more expensive than the R, it'll have some of the stuff that I really wanted on the 5dIV.
Thank you very much...but you don't deal with the main subject: is this a camera you recomend for a wedding shooting ? I hesitate to take it as a main camera. Lot of people say "it doesn't suit to wedding...Not responsive enough..." you know all this sort of thing that make you imagine that it isn't the choice to make. Then have you handled it during a total shooting (i don't talk about video mode). I would very appreciate your feeling about this. ☺️
very good review! Keep up
Hi How do you deal with the lack of a memory slot during wedding ? What if your card crashes ?
Great review! The time lag between the shutter and preview is quite frustrating for me, as I’m used to see the image immediately on my Sony cameras! Otherwise it’s a great camera! Cheers from Japan!
イルコ先生！いつもビデオを見ています。いつもありがとうございます
For photography only
Mainly portraits / candids and occasional sports shots would you chose the 5div or the eos r?
Thanks!
Please help me! I have the 5diii and I am buying a new hybrid kit and I just can't decide if I need the a7iii or the Eos R??
This video is actually great man, trust me
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I’ve been thinking to upgrade my photo camera to this model. Was also thinking of the Sony 7III or Fuji XT-3.
But discarded the Fuji since I don’t want micro 4/3.
And after using the Sony and working on its video files I am disliking the quality of it. IBIS is garbage on that thing. You are better off mounting it on a gimbal.
Although for this camera I am mainly looking to shoot photos, is nice to take video with these cameras once in a while. (Not professionally in my case since we use cinema cameras). And the bit rate is a huge deal for me.
But I was looking into how to transfer photos via Wi-Fi. Thanks for sharing the options you are using!
Unfortunately for the EOS R, it does have a hideous rolling shutter. But, I am used to dealing with that.
Was also wondering, can you transfer video via Wi-Fi as well?
"But discarded the Fuji since I don’t want micro 4/3." Uh, what? Fuji has an APS-C sensor that is 64% larger than micro 4/3. I used m4/3 from my first GF1 to the Olympus E-M5, but switched TO Fuji because I didn't want micro 4/3.
Super positive video and nice work man! Do you shoot in ALL-I or IPB ? :)
Viktor Barbara thank you! Almost always ALL-I!
Hi David , i do wedding Photography, now with fujifilm , im considering to move to full frame : a7III or EOSr , im leaning into the canon. What do you think ? Thank you , greetings from Argentina
GREAT REVIEW 👍
I’m not a Pro-Photographer.
Couldn’t comprehend some of the terms being used in other reviews but David broke it down to where I was able to understand exactly what this camera is or isn’t capable of achieving.
Despite all the harsh reviews, I will probably be picking up an EOS R.
SPEAKTRULY thank you so much that’s really kind of you!
Thanks for this review!
The 1080 from the EOS-R looks great and I'm a Nikon shooter.
First off amazing video...
You have the exact setup that I'm hoping to purchase next week; the EOS R with the 35mm MACRO STM!
I'd like to hear your opinion on something...
Everybody is goin on about how the 4k is cropped and how its unusable.
I beg to differ. I think its awesome that the 4k is cropped and here's why;
Because 4K takes up so much space, causes lag on Premiere and doesn't make alot of difference quality wise since customers will be viewing the final project on their laptops; why don't we just embrace the cropped sensor because its able to give us two different focal lengths with a single lens.
You wanna shoot fairly wide go with the 1080p 35mm. You wanna get a tighter shot? Instead of switching lenses switch to 4k and bam! that 35mm just became a 63mm.
Although a 24-105 F4 is in my possession, because zoom lenses aren't very low-light friendly I do prefer primes mostly.
So what do you think? Instead of complaining about a cropped sensor 4k, should people should just look at it as 2 primes for the price of one?
Would love to see an update to this given the firmware updates, lenses which have been released and your flexibility to remap the rings and buttons if you went that route. Also! As a full wedding day photographer/videographer using this body do you rock a battery grip or just swap batteries? I'm finding I don't need the grip, but haven't done as much work as you :)
Do you have any experience with using the WiFi as a backup?
Nice brownish colour. Have you used preset or how did you make it?
I picked up an EOS R as well after using other brands and I love the EOS R above all the others. Also my fave camera I have used so far. Has it's limitations of course with video but it's still very usable.
What are the limitations with the video except for cropped 4K recording?
Have you neen able to capture a still from a video yet? If so how large of a file is it? Like long edge pixel. I heard we might be able to but haven't ever tried it.
Do you know how bad any silent shutter problems when shooting in low light on high iso (theatre) Have they been made better with a firmware update
Hi David. I definitely enjoyed watching a positive Canon EOS R. video for a change. One thing I was wondering about while I was watching, though, was how did you choose to use the multi function bar?
Barbara Hurst I’ll be completely honest with you. Up until this point I have used it very sparingly. I don’t have a real opinion on it. It hasn’t gotten in the way and it hasn’t been a game changer. Still figuring out if it can be in a practical workflow!
David J. Orozco Thanks for the quick reply, David. I’m happy to hear that it hasn’t been a problem for you.
I've found that I don't use it much while shooting, but I love that you can assign another function while reviewing images. I have mine set to rate images as I was used to being able to do so with the rate button on the 5DIV
After some experimenting, I have configured it for three functions: tapping left sets the ISO to 'auto' (since the high-ISO quality of this machine is so incredible, my favourite combination has become Manual with auto-ISO), tapping right shows the histogram (since I only want it in sight occasionally) and swiping is zooming in digitally, so I can inspect if I need to adjust the results of the AF. There's another reason for this setting: the right side of the bar is so close to the place where my thumb rests, that I want to have a function on the right bar that doesn't influence the picture. Hence the histogram-setting there.
I love it, just got one, it is amazing
Hey. I am a photographer from Moscow and now I have canon 6d. I want to buy a new camera, but the choice is difficult.
I love canon but i don't like blackout canon r.
Please tell me how you make photos fast moment, because blackout complicates continuous focusing?
Opinion on lack of a joystick and how this has effected you?
Great review Man !
IsaacImage Photography thanks so much brother!
How are you handling the blackout screen while shooting?
Might have to go try this or the new RP to replace my old 750D :3
AF mode during wedding? I just got an EOS R and I’m curious what others use.
how you grade just a lut? can you show how u grade like that ?
Thank you for an actual practical review. I love my EOS R I do d video at all so as a camera it works well like the Mark IV. I love it so far and want to use it more and since I do use flash it works with my Profoto B10s very well
Jason Davis I 100% agree I’ve started using it more than my 5d’s.
Enjoyed your review. I already have the EOS R, but like seeing how other photographers adapt. I have no big need for a second card most times, but find the JPGs so good, that the Wifi transfer of JPGs to phone is a good alternative for something more critical like a wedding.. I also don't max-out my cards either, and also use a 5DS in conjunction.
Mario Vaden I accidentally shot some jpegs on a personal trip. Was bummed then really took a look at them and man are they nice, so I definitely agree with you. I’ve seen that method from others, have yet to try it, and definitely will. Thanks for taking the time!
I have shot more than 400K on multiple 5DMKiii and only when doing the rare wedding videos did I use redundant dual slot writing. Have I had a card fail? Yes a while ago. Recently not at all. I still shoot with both CF and SD card slots filled but always in switch over when full. I am about to upgrade to the mirrorless world. Likely the R is okay for a starter camera, especially if the stills quality is as good as the MKiv. My goal is that it is me that makes better pictures, not feeling that any camera has prevented that from happening. I make strong pictures with the MKiii no reason to believe the R can't do the same.
Great review. You gained a subscriber!
DIONE YOUNG thank you so much!
I do landscape and astrophotography and have a 5DSr - it’s a wonderful camera as long as I stay on the tripod. I go myself a EOS R and I love it. The image quality is great, very low noise and I can use all my EF lenses. The autofocus is more than good enough for me even when taking pictures of my grandchildren. I got beautiful milky way shots too.
It’s a joy to use it. Try one, it will convince you.
Nice b-roll David...
I'm interested in taking on Wedding Videography soon I'm waiting on the New Canon EOS r S that's on it's way...Looks like a Dream Camera if they add dual SD card slots, IBS, do away with 4k crop and add 120 fps @1080p YES PLEASE👍
do a follow-up update to this video for the new update
Thank you!
I was planning to upgrade my 5d mkiii with the mk4, i convinced myself the eos r was not quite there yet, it looked like a toy and a step back and overall not professional etc etc...but when i picked one up at a trade show and then afterwards picked up the mk4, side by side the mk4 felt and looked dated in my opinion. The future is mirrorless! the eos r is a joy to use, and so nice that i can travel light with it especially with the 35mm. it’s great in the studio and superb for product or property etc the flip screen is fantastic. looking forward to shooting weddings with it this year. Don’t listen to the negative comments take the plunge you won’t regret it.
I'm currently using 200D. It has a similar spec(no not really) to EOS R, no ibis, 6.5 fps? One card slot...still works tho
What picture profile do you use for you pictures?
Looking to upgrade to this as my B cam. Currently using the 5D mk2 for wedding videos (yes in 2019 haha)
What other cameras did you use for Wedding photos/films and how would you compare this with the rest of them?
If you are in the Canon ecosystem I think the EOS R could be a good move for you! I have used everything from the Sony’s A7iii and A7riii, Fuji X-T3, 1dx2, and settled on 5d4’s and an EOS R. I’m in the midst of changing gear around, EOS R is for sure staying though. Out of them all the ones that I keep hovering around are the 5d4’s/EOS R and the Sony’s. In my experience those two have the most reliable autofocus and are great for dual photo & video! Sony though performs best with native glass just FYI!
Hope that helps!
@@davidjorozco You summarized all my problems in one comment. I have Canon 6D I use it for events/portraits and even some videos. I was so wondering if I want to get a7iii or canon 5d mk4 / R or even 1dxmk2 cuz I want it for a long term! so I think I go with the canon eos R and let canon 6d as a backup camera. thanks buddy!
This was such a good video
Very nice presentation. Just gained a new subscriber here.
Hi, thank You for the great video! I come from 5DMK II and now I've got the EOS R. I'm new in Video (up to now only stills) so short question: can you please give me the exact video settings you put in the C3? Thank You!
carrerayoutub awesome! I shoot in 1080/60 ALL-I with face tracking on and servo on using the neutral color profile for most things and for more controlled stuff C-Log occasionally and that’s it really! Hope that helps! For interview stuff I use 1080/24 ALL-I
@@davidjorozco Thank you so much! I'm gonna try these settings and put them into C3 .
Nice review
Why was changing the iso so noisy? Which button makes that noise?
Great 👍 video! Hope you keep producing content, I subscribe and look forward to more stuff like this.
Manny Vids thanks man I definitely am! Appreciate the kind words!
Can i get the same result with RP in Neutral Profile?
Does anybody here who has gone from a 5DIV to the EOS-R noticed any difference in dynamic range and shadow noise? I swear I used to get cleaner, more recoverable (shadow) images on the 5DIV vs the EOS-R.
Very nice review, how is the viewfinder compering to Sony a7riii? Cheers
technoalah I prefer the EOS R over the A7riii with the A7iii being my least favorite. Thanks for the comment man!
@@davidjorozco cheers thank you!!!
love the vid bro
Thank you man appreciate it!
