      @@michaels8597Don't agree . If they have it as loner for a longer period and use it enough, do the ins and outs, and like here , even dare to use it for their work, that is good for me and of course that they are not affiliated to the brand (and participated in BBQ and Company parties , benefits that they probably loose when they speak the truth ) . The problem with reviews from people who own the gear is that if they don't like it, they should probably admit they made the wrong choice and people are not so into doing that.

      No one has to agree because the fact is,we all have 14-30 days to take the gear through it's paces and take it right back to the store.We can also rent,and do the same thing,yet the thing is,you have to be familiar enough to make an intelligent accessment.
      For example, I spoke to this moron days ago,who told me that Sony didnt meet expectations with the A9/9ii upgrade.Like I told him,unless Sony themselves made documented promises,anyone's expectations are purely personal.I told him that just because a new version of a camera comes out,that doesnt mean they needed to make a new sensor.I told him that if he personally doesnt need what the A9/A9ii contributes,it has nothing to do with him anyway.
      Of course,as I already figured he never even owned the original A9 to even have a reference point,and he was unable to back up his statements about 'expectations' with any evidence.See,only a small percentage of shooters even make a living shooting on a professional level,as in NBA/NFL,Apple,Cosmo,or even celebrity events.
      The rest of us just buy what we enjoy and can make a bit of money with.I dont care what anyone's connections are,as long as they are not outright lying about gear,which is easy to check.Like you said,for example with the Z6/7,you have these people who bought it,and then babble about workarounds,because as you said,they refuse to admit they didnt get what they thought the camera was about.They defend the 1 card slot,the poor AF,and they even defend the 2 recalls,never wanting to admit they paid for a $3000 miss.

      @@michaels8597 Agreed 100% with your latest statement, my point was that one does not have to own a camera to do a review, bit sense about what and where it is all about is welcome though. And indeed some use them 3 days and jibber jabber a lot of BS that is not much more than reading the user manual added with some info from the tech sheets. But being around on YT for a while, you know the BS guys from the real deal. Still follow some of the BS guys just for laugh and rattling the cage with some serious comments on their wrong believes ;-)

    @zach.hanford Před 4 lety +7

    The biggest thing keeping me glued to my Fuji kit is my left eye dominance.
    I've always used the X-Pro, X-E and X100 lines because of the off center viewfinder.
    When I tried the X-T2 I felt like my hands were smushed because of how close the viewfinder was to the right side of the camera, and that's inherent to any SLR style body.
    The guy who actually shot my engagement is a friend of mine, and he let me play around with the EOS-R raw files and I can attest, the image quality is fantastic.
    I'm a strong believer that any modern kit is fantastic image quality-wise and ergonomics should determine the camera you shoot with but at the same time I'm a realist. I know that physics is physics, and an APS-C sensor is never going to match the image quality of full-frame. For what I do though, I feel like Fuji is still the right balance of image quality vs size vs price.
    I agree with you on the grip on Fuji Cameras, and I wouldn't even consider using any of my camera without a thumb grip on it. That was a game changer.
    I love my Fuji gear, but not in a tribal way. It just happens to be the right combination of assets for my needs, even if I'm aware of all of its shortcomings.
    I've already accepted the inevitability that someday I'm going to auction off a few of my organs to by a digital Leica M though.

    I really enjoyed your review on the EOS R. I have owned mine since about a month after it came out and I was very hesitant to buy after the reviews that were out on it. I started with Canon all the way back in the 80's. I had a 5D Mark 4 and kept it until I was sure I would like the EOS R. After about 6 weeks, I tried using my 5D4 and I just didn't like it anymore compared to the EOS R. So sold it and absolutely love my EOS R.
    Thanks,

    Great comprehensive review and consistent with my experience with the camera. A few thoughts:
    The "screen" that covers the sensor is actually the shutter. I love that function, but critics do point out that it may make the shutter susceptible to damage.
    On the "touch bar" I've set it for: Swipe - AF mode, Left tap - eye detect on/off, Right tap - histogram on/off. No complaints. I'm not sure why it gives people the grumps.
    I'm right-handed, but a left-eyed shooter. Even so, my nose on the screen has not been a problem for me. I suppose in part I apparently have a suitably-sized nose. :-) I also wear glasses, so that likely keeps my face a bit further back.

    This is a totally great review. First review I have seen Matt do. Matt is a real wedding photographer pro. and he gives a realistic assessment of the good and bad of the EOS R with RF24-105mmf4 and the RF50f1.2 lenses in his usages. He loves the camera and lenses despite no dual flash cards and IBIS. He left the Fuji which he loved but simply loves the EOS R more and has no intention of going back. He was surprised by how useful the flipout screen was and how long the battery life was in comparison to his prior Fujis. Not you typical review and I am going to have to tune some of the the video Matt has done.

    Nice review Matt. I have been a long time Canon film and DSLR user but like you I also turned to Fuji for mirrorless and shot with the Xpro-2 and lots of really good Fuji glass. However, I always missed the Canon colour rendition and I purchased my EosR a few weeks after seeing it at Photokina last year. I have loved using it and it is now my goto camera for just about everything and I have new reluctantly sold all my Fuji gear. My only non Canon digital camera now is my Olympus Pen-F which I use for street photography. Keep up the good work and if you're ever in Scotland look me up.

Right now I have face+eye tracking swiping over to single point af and right tap mapped to change the singe point af size. This works great with Backlit portraits where eye af wont find the face or eye. Swipe instantly over to single point and get the shot without fumbling around. Also mapped the lock button to only lock the touch pad.

    Nice one Matt! I'm happy to hear about your experience with the camera. I picked one up a few months ago after some major hesitation due to heeding the warnings of the popular youtubers. I started to notice they all turned the corner & were using the camera themselves. Haha. I find that my EF lenses work better adapted to this camera than they have on any of my previous bodies. I also highly suggest grabbing an R to M adapter, preferably one with the helicoid. It is pretty special to use Summicrons & other leica lenses on this body! Enjoy dude!

    Great review. I’m on Olympus and Sony right now (different tools for different purposes), but boy did I like that Canon camera when I picked it up and tested it out. They have indeed done a good job with menus and the touch interface. I’ve also become a big fan of the flippy screen (Olympus similar to this Canon) even for stills photography. Especially portrait orientation.

    I picked up an EOS R with the battery grip & basic EF lens adapter awhile back & use my EF lenses rather than immediately investing in RF glass. I've also adapted my Leica lenses, FD lenses & even T & M42 mount lenses for the EOS R. I still have the XT-2 I bought from you and shoot with it on a regular basis, but being a long term Canon shooter I tend to gravitate back to the Canon. The EOS R was an upgrade for my 5D Mk III (I still have it) which is why I hesitate to upgrade my lenses to the RF line. Everything I've shot with the EOS R has really impressed me! My only complaint about the EOS R is that stupid touch bar on back. I'd much rather have a joystick than the bar. In fact, I've disabled all functions on the touch bar. Glad to hear you like the EOS R since you've never really used Canon before. I switched from Nikon to Canon way back in the 1980's and I've been happy with them ever since even though I really enjoyed shooting with Nikon as well. Cameras are ultimately just tools we use to accomplish our photographic vision. We shouldn't get too hung up on what's newest or has the best specs. Just get out and shoot 100-200 images a week and you'll master whatever you've got. Great video!

    I anyone is a left eye shooter (like me) and is having issues with your nose moving the focus point on the LCD screen, you can disable the focus swipe on the right side of the screen. I have found this solves the problem 90% of the time.

    Great video Matt! I have it myself I didn't like it the first days but then got used to it and now I really like it. It´s a different beast even compared to Canon 5D MKIV with all the features and it takes som work to get used to. Fantastic customizations possibilities close to GH5. Interesting to hear your views on the Fuji. Sorry for complaining but is it possible not have that flashing frames at the transitions, just hard mentally to have it flashing. Great work, keep it up : )

  • @epstar83
    @epstar83 Před 4 lety +1

    Superb review Matt! Much more meaningful than the talking heads on YT trashing the EOS-R when it was first announced. I’m curious if you’ve scanned film with this yet, and how that compares to the process you had in place with the Fuji?
    Also have you tried adapting any M lenses to it yet? I love my Fujifilm cameras! However adapting my film lenses to them always introduces a crop factor, I like the idea of having a full frame sensor so that the FOV remains consistent and I can use a film and digital body with the same lenses. At the moment I’m trying an M240 but I’m not blown away by it, also it’s only useful for adapting rangefinder lenses, my SLR lenses I’m still using the Fuji. Keen to hear your thoughts on it... and apologies for the long message. Haha!

  • @vaskoobscura_
    @vaskoobscura_ Před 4 lety

    Awesome, welcome to the EOS R life. In my opinion it's easily the best photography camera on the market. There is just something special about how that RF mount catches light from the lens. Images have bit of a lifelike 3D feel to them. It's hard to explain but once you notice it you can't un-notice it. I'll give you a few tips on shooting with the EOS R. In my experience Canon and Lexar don't always play nice. If a card is going to fail in a Canon camera it's most likely going to be a Lexar. Not sure why that is but I stick to sandisk and never had an issue. Also for your vlogging check out Canon's EFS 10-18mm. It's designed for APC-C sensors but with the adapter that comes with the EOS R you can use it on your camera. Because it's designed for a crop sensor it works perfectly with the EOS R's 4k crop video. Plus it has in lens image stabilization and a plastic build so it can be used handheld and you'll never get a tired arm holding it up. I'll be making a review of it on my channel soon. Hope that helps. Cheers.

  • @nathanhyde5655

    Nice review Matt! Another great thing about Canon (for me at least) is that if you're used to shooting 6x4.5 film and/or don't like 3:2 in portrait orientation, you can shoot in 4:3 aspect ratio in camera without needing to crop afterward. I love this feature - combined with a 50mm f/1.2 it looks so much like 645 120!

I hated Canon before this camera. LOL I really love it and now my Fuji gear is going away. Not a fan of the R6 and the R5 is waaaay to expensive for my needs. Pricing is even better now. for the R ;)

It's taking a moment to customize and become familiar with, but it's also growing on me a lot.One thing with the RF 24-105 and the back cap for the lens,theres less tactile information for either lining up the cap on the lens or lining up the lens with the body, I take a lot of night photos so it matters if I can change a lens by feel.
