    Your introduction says a lot about your great humour.

Not the most resourceful source but without a doubt the most entertaining ones.

    so did you end up liking it, I think it is a big step up from their first mirrorless models, maybe the next version will be it, but I think as a portable camera this will be a great choice, because the thousands of AF points, the way to use touch screen to swipe from one focus position to the other, the 4k, this could be my 70D replacement.. or backup, or travel cam

  • @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 😭

    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?

    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

  • @OlivierStaiger
    @OlivierStaiger Před 5 lety

    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.

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!!!!!!!

    Hello. I have one 6d and from yesterday I have a new EOS R. I use Sigma ART 35 and Canon 50, Canon 85. I made some tests for ISO performance with same settings and I saw EOS R is equal with canon 6d up to 6400 ISO. Why? I was thinking EOS R is better than 6d and is equal with 5D mk4 at ISO performance.
    It is normal ? Or I have a bad copy ? I know 6d was a very good camera for ISO performance but 5D mk4 was better and EOS R has the same sensor like 5D mk4. Wha it the problem ?
    So I must to return the camera to service ?
    I had the same light for tests and same objects. I have the latest firmware. 1.6 .

    I know that I'll not succeed to get it in my hands on the foreseeable future (of at least seven years) but I'm all up for a review of it from Kai! 😁💥💖

    On the lens size, isn't there adapter plates for normal canon lenses to mirror less ones

    How long it takes for download photos in RAW + jpg's? to me is 2 minutes per pair, Is that possible? if I have 350 pics per day it take me 700 minutes!!! WHY? Is there any way to download faster than that?
    Thank you if you can answer this question

    6:43 You mentioned there was no Zebras within the camera. The function is not called zebras, it is called focus peaking. I'm reading in multiple places the camera does have the function, just like the Canon M50 and Canon M5 mirrorless cams.
