  • @andrewdoeshair
    @andrewdoeshair Před 4 lety +1

    I’ve made peace with the 4K crop, it can actually be a useful tool to get more flexibility out of wider lenses, but I am having a tremendously hard time falling in love with this camera (also the EOS RP) because of the added steps involved in accessing basic functions, particularly auto focus methods. On the R you need to fiddle about a menu to change modes, which is annoying. On both cameras there is no registered AF point, something I LOVED and relied on greatly with my 5Diii, so going from a single point to tracking modes requires at the least on the EOS R a separate button to toggle, and at the least on the RP a separate button and THEN a dial click, followed by a half press of the shutter. They won’t, but I wish they would, just add a registered AF point function to a firmware update so this camera can feel like a part of my hand and work quickly without a “check then change” work flow for AF methods. If I’m still complaining, the 5Diii has a ring finger button near the grip that could switch between one shot and servo by holding it, meaning you never had to use a menu to change them, and you never had to check with mode you were in to grab the mode you wanted, it was purely muscle memory and it was instant. Now on the R and RP I’ve got to hit a secondary button to toggle one shot to servo and back. It just makes the whole process feel cumbersome and slow, and it’s been a huge factor in preventing both cameras from feeling like an “extension of my body” if you will. It burns so many mental calories to pay attention to the auto focus with these stupid things. Please Canon, registered AF point 😭

I have no interest in learning a different system. I will stick to my tried and true Canon's. While perusing the comments I see some go arounds to a few of the problems you stated. Perhaps they will address your concerns. I see I am starting to ramble on a little bit so I am going to take my leave of the comment section now. Great video Kai!!!!!!!

    Hey Kai! I never read anywhere of the EFS lenses and no 60fps in 1080p mode. Are you sure you didn't do something wrong with the settings? Apparently there is the auto-crop mode when you put on the lens, and then a separate manual crop mode setting. Could you try that one and see if the options become available?

    Great job on the review man, and thanks for talking about the negatives! So many of the reviews are passing them up completely and it's pretty ridiculous. Canon needs to realize that they are losing a huge chunk of their users and I feel like they don't even get it, that they can keep crippling their cameras to protect the high range. I don't think that works anymore. They need to update the firmware in this thing to unlock everything that it probably can already do and not just rely on "the next body update" to add those things, or the higher tier body, whatever they have planned.

    Hi Kai, a quick very specific question please. I hope you have time to answer. ;-) I have the 80D and you know the optional x3-x10 crop zoom in FHD1080 , right ? Now my question : Does the EOS R also have that x3-x10 crop zoom in video ? and specifically : cropzoom x3-10 only in FHD1080 or also in 4K , on top of the x1.7 crop factor in 4K ? Because for wildlife shooting , using my 600mm telezoom I would get x1.7 crop in 4K = 1020mm focal length but if I can add x3-x10 crop zoom on top of that then it would be like having a 3060-10200mm , shooting in 4K , which would even allow me to crop furthermore in edit to downsize e.g. to 1080 , thus shooting potentially at a monster tele of 20'000 mm or more.... sure, image quality will suffer beyond x5 and there's much air turbulence motion, but what's what video is all about, right ? ;-) hahaha... anyway, thanks if you have time to confirm if x3-10 cropzoom is also available in 4K. Greetings from Switzerland.

The f1.7/50mm Rokkor is even smaller! Remember the good old x700 days, when FF photography was reasonable small and light? And yes, IBIS is a must have for these old pocket money lenses.

    • @GroundhogOZ
      @GroundhogOZ Před 5 lety +5

      I think most of the limitations are just there to diversify the camera from the next models to be released - only the 4K-crop and the burst rate seems to be a performance issue which would need (at least) a second DIGIC 8 or a possible DIGIC 8+ to be improved on.

    • @konstapelwalander
      @konstapelwalander Před 5 lety +9

      Ok, you have a point. Though I think that the 4k-crop that we are continuing to see is pointing to the fact that Canon is not ABLE to produce a full frame 4k camera with downsampling from 30+ mpx.

    • @GroundhogOZ
      @GroundhogOZ Před 5 lety +3

      Maybe, but even if they could I'm not sure if they would - there is still the EOS Cinema line Canon doesn't want to canibalize with their stills offerings.
      Also I think DPAF with Full-Sensor-Readout would be a massive performance issue but they can't really release a new camera without since it is one of their major USPs ...

      Canon never had the cheapest cameras of any market segment and always limited the cameras below their top offerings in one way or another - if you want the maximum feature-wise for the least money you were always better off buying something else.
      If you don't like their way of speccing and pricing cameras thats completely understandable but it has been this way for ages and I don't think it is "unfair" to the customer - you could always switch to Sony, Nikon, Fuji, ...

      Yep, and the next R will be a smaller model, with that 35mm or a future pancake lens, it should be great for street photography.

    I'm facing problem with the EOS R, I am using the canon adapter with EF lenses which is:
    24-70mm 2.8 II, 70-200mm 2.8 II, 16-35mm 2.8 III
    when using AF tracking with zooming in and out my camera keep freezing and I have to either turn Off/On or unmount the lens and mounting it back to get it to work and this is happening with every zoom lens I have. did you have same issue or just me?
    Thanks Kai

    This is a nice camera for beginners & amateurs stepping out of the Rebel.
