Canon should allow the Tinder app on the Canon EOS R, so that the swipe thing on the camera makes sense.
😂 I'll probably but it for that .
Don't you mean Grinder? ;)
well said!!
Anthony Da Vall Definitely being a Canon😂
Lol ahhaaha
The amount of confused looks you are getting in this video is so funny lol
Confused by the man taking a video of himself taking a photo of something else.
You'd think people would be used to vloggers now though, especially young people.
what happened to Tim?
Kai W what did you use to record yourself on the streets in this video?
@@KaiManWong They have never experienced peak Asian.
I don't get the hate. It still is the best camera of 2013.
Hahaha
Cryptic Wintermoon LOL!
lmfao
lolol
Cryptic Wintermoon
That pretty much says it all! LOL!
Damn, I'm not first comment...too slow.
Oh no
u r cropped haha
Kai W lol but you got close tho
Close, yet no cigar
With Aussie time zone violins always last last last post with us and uk being a week behind our time zone
I love the confused but curious reactions people in the background have to you vlogging!
Just watched a bunch of your videos and picked up the EOS R! I am long overdue for an upgrade, have been using my t2i for over ten years. Thank you!!!!
Kai's level of not giving a damn what people think in this video surpassed that of Casey Neistat 😂
Casey who?
fantastic video!! this video did it, I bit the bullet and ordered the EOS R this morning, I have been chatting with the canon live chat guys to make sure all my existing lenses would work and after watching this video im sold!
0:31 Why do I only see his floating head? Is he wearing camouflage again?
Thanks for review !!!
I've been waiting for your review on this camera Kai! Great review as always :-)
Thank you Kai. Always a vibe.
That "facepalm" at the end of the video is pure gold XD
Good video as always. Thanks Kai!
Your introduction says a lot about your great humour. That's very nice when what sets you apart is this nice and controversial ways of expression and not usual boring and linear way of showing on video what a spec sheet tells you. Not the most resourceful source but without a doubt the most entertaining ones.
i love how ppl look so stupid when they stare at kai in the background
You don't think he looks stupid walking around holding two cameras, filming himself?
Hey Kai
Love the channel
Thanks dude
Yes! waiting for this forever!
Keep doing what you do Kai! Always make me laugh
Get to use one of these at work, it’s awesome.
Some people say the 1.7x crop isn't a big deal, but you don't get a full frame camera to not use the full frame.
The crop is only in 4k so you could say you dont get a photography camera to shoot video.
You do if you want to shoot video with a full frame.
@@DrShaym The red has a crop in some modes.
Great vid, I’m loving mine so far
love it Kai as per usual.
more videos like this... great job dude
One of the best reviewers out there!
The colours on this camera are amazing
4:56 apparently talking to a camera is an extremely weird thing there, but Kai doesn't give a shit lol
5:01 is pretty great as well.
Id probably stare him out as well, vlogging is normal i guess, but having a camera recording yourself whilst holding another camera pointing forward i can imagine looks pretty hilarious.
7:12 Nice and clear! I'm not surprised that you have a nice clear image, since you are using the massive new native lens. The reviews I've seen where people complain seem to be when using other adapted lenses.
Great review, as a Canon shooter myself I can't help feeling like all of their products leave you wanting one of their other cameras to pick up where the one you chose leaves off, because they all leave something on the table untill you are shooting the 1DX MKII or "C"series for video
Good review Kai. Seems they have left holes in the software with this one. Do you think Canon will give us some firmware fixes? Or is this it? Or maybe the EOS RX will be released after A7S3 and LUMIX Sr-1?
Very good review.
I have been watching your videos for a long time. I'm obsessed with photography to be frank and I'm equally obsessed with your accent and the fact that you're of Asian decent, but have an English accent. I hope that doesn't offend you, I mean no harm. Love your videos!
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 😭
Thanks for the review Kai! 😬👍🏽
I just watched this video full screen. I must compliment you on the quality of this video. It was awesome to view full screen considering it is on CZcams. I also shoot with Canon. 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!!!!!!!
Estupenda cámara. Excelentes colores, detalle y calidad de imagen.
Nice review Kai.
your reviews made my videos better
Great review. Your vlogging camera was back focussing all the time
Had an EOS R for 3 years now. Love the sharp images it captures and the colours. For photography, rather than video work, it is superb. My old EF lenses and AF work better on the R than on 5D iii.
Bumped into you in London yesterday and had a bit of a fan girl moment :')
The one filming the documentary.
The flag people? Nice to meet your lot and, erm, see a flag. I reckon that video will be out on Wed!
@@KaiManWong yeah the flag people! They were so surprised how many people recognised you :D
@Kai You could have stopped in at my place for a cup of tea if I'd known you were in the area ;)
Thank goodness at last a real review. Not like some "other" fan boi reviews from other big names on youtube that don't even make sense. Cheers Kai!
Exactly! New body and old story! :)
Still the best in bloody game! Love ya Kai!
perfect review!
Well :) a fair review. I liked it!
The drip! Kai fresh 🔥
Its beautiful....the camera.
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?
You was walking mad close to that wall lol I thought you was gone crash the camera 😂😂
Hey Kai! can you tell me what are you using for you vloging camera/lens?Thanks.
Crop in 4k is for one specific reason: it records 1:1 on a chip, because shrinking it down would cause unwanted artifacts/moire.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Lumix S1 and S1r do in comparison.
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! 😁💥💖
I have FOUND A SOLUTION to have wider 4K and also 60fps in 1080p as well as full resolution photos and 120fps at 720p. Check it out: czcams.com/video/I6rD39VZNY8/video.html
Damn it! Kai has improved his photographic skills.
I am new to the DSLR world,just got my first one.I got a Canon T7i with the kit lenses and i bought the 24mm pancake the nifty 50 and the 85mm 1.4.I am very happy with it and i look for your videos for guidance,so BOKEH to you!!😂 Thank you K!!.Oh,can you tell me of a TTL on a budget??,Thanks in advance!!.
How about doing a review of this body using the adapter and trying out some older EF lenes?
for the EOS R, 24-105 IS or the 24-70mm f2?
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
Nice review man, even after using the camera for a few days I still don't know how I feel about it haha. I still prefer the 5D4 I think,
The photo of the 3 posing girls is really good!
The stills look great Kai
Sticking with my 80D.
Ok idc about the EOS R i cant wait for that BM Pocket CinemaCam 4K review
Do you still have this camera? I'd like to see you do an update video with the new firmware.
If I'm wanting to upgrade from my canon 6D mki and want amazing AF (particularly in darker environments), and if I'm not bothered about video, is this is a go to option, over the 6D mkii?
An honest review. Most who review this camera go ga ga for it. I'm glad you pointed out some of the shortcomings.
Wow, a lot of unmentioned stuff here. Great info!
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.
So I’m not sure where you stand on this new EOS-R camera? I mean will it support your weight and how do you balance on the thing?
lol i thought i been subscribed. Love your channel bro.
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.
lol you're the best. love this channel.
What about third party EF lenses for crop sensors. Like the sigma 18-35 f1.8? Does that maintain all your frame rates and AF?
Awesome review 👍🏻 We can only hope Canon are watching 👍🏻🎃
i am missing a real conclusion at the end Kai , otherwise great review
i own the R with the RF 24-105 and i am loving it , but i only do stills.
Can you do to the Canon EosR what you did to the Pentax K1, or wait for the worst weather on the beach and do lens changes to see how durable the sensor is.
I have this camera and love it! I DO NOT use the video function at all. The color science is excellent and it runs pretty well with my ef lenses. I still have my 5dmkii as my backup.
Hey. What about "no joy (stick)", my biggest grumble for the R. Makes it tougher to shoot moving people.
Thanks for crop griping. Magic lantern might help vid, if magic lantern crosses over? Was the BMPCCUHD4U subconscious messaging to say it does a better job?
Best part of this video for me was... The Ricoh GR. Magical camera for sure.
Hello Kai. I'm tempted by the change to replace my Canon 6d (version 1) but what else pulls me back is the adapter, because I have my EF lens kit that I do not want to replace with the new ones, I would like your advice; I have a 24-70 f2.8 L (version 1) that I refuse to stop using. Thank you very much for your contribution. Sorry for my English (I'm still studying) Greetings from Entre Ríos, Argentina.
I've bought an old Minolta f4.5/70-210 on Ebay for my A7rII (which is quite old but still better than the newest Canon) which is only 91mm long and weighs only 334g. 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.
I remember Gordon from his CameraLabs reviews back in the day. Wonder if he's still doing reviews
This camera has so many weird limitations. I want C log. "Oh then you can't use auto ISO". Okay... Can I use 8 fps burst? "Oh yes you can, but you can't use autofocus". No thanks.
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.
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.
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 ...
@@GroundhogOZ the problem is other companies are doing it for cheaper. No reason to buy canon. They don't treat their customers right.
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, ...
For stills, the 5D IV works pretty well in mirrorless mode (aka Live View), and I don't see how this adds all that much more than the flippy screen.
as a nikon fanboy i'm going to keep watching your videos in the future
Recently borrowed an ES R and as a stills camera it is an impressive system if you can live without IBIS. Weird how this camera quirks start to make sense the more you use it.
Just got this camera, a year after this excellent video was made. Maybe it was a firmware update, maybe it's because I'm using American NTSC video settings, but none of the 1080p video settings discussed at 8:15 are grayed out when I throw an EF L lens on the camera.
I have punch of Canon EF lenses. What would be the best Canon dslr body for handheld videoshooting (vloggin etc.)?
Could you try an EF lens with the RF adapter ? I tried this weekend with my 500 F4 L IS and a 300 F4 L IS and the stabilization was on all the time. Not good at all for the optics and bad for the battery... The canon rep had no answers for us.. Thanks you
You the Man and the best Man! Thank you. I'll skip this one
Love to see you do a Street shoot with the rf 35mm. That might be the right balance in size and creativity with it’s close focus.
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.
6:55-6:59...."let's get some positives in there before i tear a new mount hole...!" hilarious
Hi ... I am looking for a dslr.
For film making can you suggest any my budget is medium
Can we just appreciate the guy at 9:52:
Purple Capri pants
A flipper on one foot
Hawaiian shirt
And a spongebob guitar.
