You are the type of reviewer I want to hear from. You use the camera in the real world. You are familiar with the brand. You understand where the camera stands in the Canon line. Thank you for your insight.
B-but sony fanbois be like "oh eos r sucks, no ibis, single card slot, blah blah" lol
If Ibis is that good why doesn’t Sony put it in their pro video cameras? Their 5k, 7k, and 12k camera’s have optical stabilization. They also have cropped sensors and cmos sensors.
@@paullanoue5228 Good point! :)
I'm a Nikon shooter and I really appreciate this review. Main reason being that all of the smack I've heard about this system is based on specs and not practical experience. Nothing beats actually using the camera in the real world.
I’ve watched camera reviews all day every day for the past 2 months and can easily say that this was the best video by far.
You actually answered and thought through questions people wanted to know, not just specs people could google.
Thanks!
🙏🏼
Best review i’ve seen so far. Everyone else is comparing it to everything else or to what they want to see in a camera and most of them have had it for a few weeks or couple months and only picked it up to do a review on it. You’re the first one i’ve seen that is actually putting it to work in the real world and didn’t just buy it to do a review. Great video!
I can see the happiness coming from you as you talk about the camera, lenses and your photos are so nice. I love the tone and colour grading. Keep it up! I just ordered an RP yesterday coming from an M50 so excited.
Very insightful and rather practical comments on this camera. I’ve been saving up for a while to upgrade my 6D. I almost went mirrorless towards Sony especially because most of my friends were switching. I’ve just been holding off n saving more towards a camera.
I’m happy to say I placed the order for the EOS R yesterday and I can’t wait to have it. Seeing your video today just made me happy and I can’t wait to share all the content I create with it as well.
I hope it has been what you hoped for! :)
Great to hear that you love this camera. Looking forward to more photos and videos taking by this camera.
Bro thank you so much for this video! I have been wanting to upgrade a camera body for quite some time now and this video sold me on the EOS R! Great pictures brothers, keep the great content cooking!
Appreciate this review. Opinion of a real wedding photographer has been missing out there. video reviews are fine but so many reviewers focusing so much on video and forget using it in real everyday photography.
Great review! No nonsense, straight to the point, practical field based, work flow based review! Please keep reviewing more now that there are a lot more lenses. I subscribed!
Great review. I've had the same experience with the R. When I took some photos with my existing glass the pictures where much sharper...blew me away! I like being able to drag my thumb across the display to move my focus point but like you, I took it out on a cold morning to capture a sunrise and my fingers went numb. I had a hell of a time with the focus system. But overall, I LOVE the camera.
I almost forgot to thank you for sharing your photos, they are outstanding!
Cant wait to see review of 28-70 F2, and I love the way you review a camera with many sample images and more to camera function than video, because many reviewers review the camera but more focus to video specs.
Great review. I absolutely love my EOS R. Canon is finally serious in Mirrorless, and that lens roadmap for this year is INSANE!
finally a review with some GREAT images. Superb work
I agree with you 100% on the two cardslot and the joystick! Nice review.
Don't normally post comments but after watching you review i agree with everything you've said! great review from a photographers standpoint.
This is the review I want to see and hear. A lot of people jumped to conclusion and had so many negative comments before actually using it. And once they got their hands on it they liked it. People don’t want to or like to adapt to something new which might be the reason they disliked it at first or still do. It’s Canon’s first mirrorless camera and I know there will be a bunch of improvements.
Epic! coming from a 1DX mii & 5DMIV myself, I just got the EOS R 3 weeks ago and I love the focusing on this one!!!!
Me too!!
How do you like it from the mark iv?
What do you shoot? I am debating between mk4 and the eos r
I’m starting to love your content man!! Keep it up!
Great review and your results speak for itself, I found that I really enjoyed the 6D2 even after its bad reviews so I’m most likely going to pick one of these up as a replacement.
Posting an update, I just got my EOS R today with the RF 24-105 and really enjoyed using it. Feels good to be home lol thanks again for this video Alex, this really helped me put things into perspective!
Great review!
I use two of these for weddings as well. I’m glad I resisted the temptation to jump to Sony mirrorless. It took Canon long enough, but I’m happy with this first step.
My biggest gripe is the single card slot, but it doesn’t bother me too terribly, as long as I don’t put all of my eggs in one basket. By switching out cards frequently, I use about five cards per camera for a wedding, so that’s 10 total. If I had a card fail, the odds are that the other 9 would be fine and since I’m shooting with two cameras, I should still have some photos from that same time frame.
A card failure would be terrible, but there’s things you can do to minimize the damage.
I also have the same 50mm. It’s an incredible lens.
Hey Alex, loved the review and quality of your video. The colours are so pleasing to look at and your editing is AMAZING!. Is there a chance you could do a tutorial on how you edit your shots [3 examples would be great]. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
I'm a sony shooter but props to you for finding the right system for you, I agree with you on Canon glass. I have an old Canon FD 28mm f2 adapted to my a7iii and its very sharp despite being 30+ years old :-)
I agree at 100% with you. I come from the 5ds and 5d4. Sold both and bought 2 R as well. Now we just need to wait for the mobster called RF 28-70 f/2...
Thank you very much. There are soooooo many reviews of the EOS R reviewing it's video features but very few photography perspectives. And very informative video. Thanks for making my decision easier considering this camera for photography. Thank you
Thank you for this review! Great video, looking forward to more.
Wow refreshing to see a real review an not just another youtube rant about how it sux as a video camera. Thanks for your honest review. I brought one a few days ago, and have only used it twice so far but am loving it👍
Thanks to this video I’ll be picking the Canon EOS R up soon!
Thank you! 😊
I have the exact same experience as you. I sold my 1DXII because the R + RF lenses are fantastic at focusing, and the RF lenses are amazing. In many situations though, especially in good light conditions, I prefer optical viewfinders.
Thanks for the review. Wondering what method of back up you're using that you mentioned? Thanks
Would be nice if you made a new reiveiw in like 6 months or something on the R again just to hear your experince with it in longer time! Nice to hear your review though, amazing shots!
Next week will be my 2nd wedding with the EOS R. 2nd body will be a 5DS. Nice to hear your experience. And yes, the RF 50mm 1.2 may be my favorite lens to date, comparable to the Zeiss Milvus, but with AF !!
Cheers, M. D. Vaden
I wanted to move to Sony because of all the positive reviews it got and the EOS R has so many negative reviews. But when I actually used the Sony, I was fighting with the camera. Using it was such a chore. I then got the EOS R two weeks ago and had been shooting 4 events a week and it was the best decision ever. But I would like to add one more “wish list” with the ones you had, which is - I wish that it has the ability to select different configurations of focus points like 11 focus points or 19 or 39 or 51 or 61 etc. If Canon can do that, it would be the ULTIMATE camera in my opinion.
… and such stunning Wedding photographers pictures and Portraits: I love the Professional R-results, you’re doing!
Great review! Can you make a video about your wedding settings for the eos R?
Great video.
Glad you started out by saying how good the adapter is.
I want an upgrade (I have the 6D, the 70D and the 5DmkII), a Sony a6300 and right now I'm guessing between the EOS R and the Sony a7III.
Good video man! i just want a EOS R with dual card slots for Pro use :) will wait for the next version
Thanks for your feedback on the camera!! I’m going to have to lone it from CPS now to check it out! But I’m still scared about one card slot
man that photo with the flare was amazingly beautiful..great job
I'm a Nikon hybrid event shooter. My next camera hopefully will be a EOS-R. I've tried the Z7 and the A73 - I just don't think I can work fast enough with the latter two. Plus the ergonomics on the R are great.
+1 on the accuracy, sat up the side of a mountain and a Royal Navy hawk came through with no warning, get less than a 10 second window when they are traveling at over 500mph, managed to nail every shot it with it in the frame, only limitation was me, super chuffed with my Eos r, I would prefer ibis but never had it so not missed it, that rf 50mm looks sexual, good video :)
Great Review - Straight to the point !
Love your swagger dude. I believe that you mentioned that you did this video in 4k. What lens did you use? Secondly, do you still use your canon 5d mark iv? If so, what do you use it for primarily? Videos or photography?
Hey Alex, nice balanced review! I am constantly considering the EOS R, but ultimately I think I stay with Fuji. But I added an amazing thing to my workflow, that almost completely made dual card slots obsolete: It is the Toshiba Flashair W-04 SD-Card in combination with the iOS app Shuttersnitch. The WiFi SD-Card loads every shot in real time to Shuttersnitch on the iPad or iPhone, both full res Raw and Jpegs, in about 10 seconds, that is about 40MB of data. Very reliable at that, too. Once the shot is on your iPad, it connects immediately to my cloud via WebDAV and saves it on the cloud, while for example adding a watermark, resizing them etc. Great for sharing on the go or running a live feed slideshow. Best of all: Since all depends on the WiFi-SD card, it works with every camera without having to change your workflow. Look into that, it elevated my style of event shooting and has great backup safety.
Great video and great photos!
The best video review of this camera for stills full stop. You nailed this.
Great and honest review! So it sounds like it's a good camera for portrait and stuff, but the missing joystick and second sd-slot is a KO criteria for me.
You can actually use EOS touch screen with gloves (thinner ones). You just have to set 'touch control' option to 'sensitive' and try which gloves work.
I can feel that you really happy and love it.
Great review bro! Thanks for the honest feedback!
Great video review! Thanks
So many videos made about this camera from people that are NOT even photographers.
Your picture style and editing is great
I like the fact that your videos include the PICTURES as part of the review.
Thanks again
How are low light reception shots focus wise? Can you do a video on how you mapped out the custom buttons?
I felt the same thing about autofocus when i got my Nikon Z6. The hit rate is higher than my DSLR (D7100, D610, D750) with F mount glass via adapter. Can't wait to get native lenses.
Excellent review, I'm planning to get the EOS R with the 24-105 f/4 kit lens next month (on holiday) in replacement of my EOS 7D2 that I just sold, keeping of course my 70-200 f2.8 IS II. I know that they are totally different beast, I am fascinated as you with full frame mirrorless systems.
If you were using your 7dM2 for sports or wildlife, you're gonna find the R more frustrating that anything. Every sports and wildlife photographer that has used this said that, while it is a great camera, it just cannot keep up in these areas.
@@z10n0v4 Yes I know that the EOS R is not for sport action and wildlife with much slower continuous shooting as the 7DM2, that's why I said that they are different beast, thanks anyway for your advice.
That's it! I'm buying 2 of these today!! 😍
CANON is KING!! 👊
Thank you very much Alex.
You have very nicely edited those photos, it's really gouges, how did you get that cinematic look ?
Awesome review man
Subbed. I had a 1DX II as well; amazing camera, especially for video. I do more photos now and I agree with everything you said. I do feel the 1DX had a little better shadow recovery for backlit portraits, sometimes a face will look pretty flat/2d on the eos r when bringing back exposure.
Great photos and video. Thanks
You have some lovely photos - very few misses. The wedding photos are great - super colours in the flowers.
And, a decent enough review.
Please please do a video on how you process your photos. I LOVE the look.
Amazing work👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Hey Alex! great videos but do you honestly miss your 1DX II somewhat? Or was it too loud for weddings and events? I dont own one but am curious as your overall thoughts shooting with it?
I miss the smaller file sizes :) but that’s it to be honest. I never had a problem with the shutter sound or size. For me the EVF and focusing accuracy make it easy to forget about the 1DX.
Hey Alex, thanks for your review man ✌️ I recall you had issues focusing at receptions with the Sony when it was dark. Are you having any of the same issues with the eos r? Does the AF beam work with it?
Hey man, I have yet to have any issues with the EOS R. It’s impressive because I use the 24mm 1.4 L adapted with the camera for receptions. I found using single shot and face tracking does the trick in receptions.
Alex Barrera awesome man, cheers for that ... another question for you! How do you change your focus point when you shoot vertical with the battery grip? Can you reach the LCD since there’s no joystick?
9:30 How do you pull the shadow and still having crisp contrast?
Same here: I am very near at the point to sell my 1dxmkII and buy one more EOS R. Anyway: Great thoughts, helpful video! Well done!
Thanks for a great and honest review.
Are you happy with the results the 35mm mark ii gave you? combined with the eos r? wanting to upgrade to the eos R, but idk what glass to buy.
Nice examples, saw one image with the RF 35/1.8 IS, what's your view on it versus the 35/1.4L II? Thanks.
Doing a comparison on that next. I’ve been using the 1.8 a lot lately and my 1.4 has been collecting some dust. I can’t say I’ve missed the 1.4 so I am curious to see them side by side.
Great video.... i am looking into getting a EOS R myself.
How is the AF system compared to 1DXII? Do you miss any tracking ability?
Great video!! I am thinking between the EOS R and the R6Mark II right now....and going crazy over what to choose...my prime interest is Wedding photography, Baptism ceremonies etc....Photography for 99%, very little video...I know the R is not a great video cam, but for photography - should I go with the R6 mark II absolutely, or should I choose the R, and save the rest of the money for glass...is the R still good enough to invest in today considering my area of interest(Wedding photography)?? Or is it already outdated and not worth consideration? Thanks in advance Alex, found this very helpful nevertheless, at least in the AF area, you said the R is both fast and accurate, exactly what I need(and every other photographer as well 😄 haha ) . How about high ISO performance? Have you compared how clean the R is vs the R6 mark II??
The R6 ii is a low light beast. If money is not a problem I would go with the R6ii.
Thanks for this review. Im eyeing for this body. I recently bought canon 70-200 2.8 is for my 80d, i use it in shooting at a cultural center or stage. I want to go full frame and also the electronic view finder. I hate to say this but sometimes i hate using the optical view finder, it looks too beautiful in the viewfinder but when you click it, it changes the image. EVF should be what you is what you get right? 80d has same batt with this camera. So for me this cam would be the best upgrade i could ever have with my 80d. But im still saving for that camera. Maybe a year from now. 😂😂😂.
Great review. My question is, are you using Lightroom? I got the EOS RP and adobe products can’t read the CR3’s yet. I’m told they will eventually.
Yes I am using Lightroom. The EOS RP is still super new, support should come to it any week now.
When addressing to the dual slot issue, you mention that you've a backup system in place... Could you explain what system is that? Great video BTW! Cheers from Portugal.
Hugo de Sousa yes what is the backup system?
The only thing really worrying for me is the lack of dual card slots. You say you have a backup system in place, may I ask what measures you take?
Quick question!
are you using Full RAW or C RAW?
Have you used c-raw with your pesets?
or can you make a video using your presets with both full raw and C-raw
Amazing review
How did you edit ur photos ?!
I have a question. I have canon 7d with battery grip and canon eos r . Planning to buy battery grip for eos r but my canon 7d has a space between tge body and the grip and i am afraid that in snow like condition or bad weather moisture will get inaide the battery compartment. I want to know that wether thre is a space between the camera body and battery grip or not. Thanks in advance , love from texas
I would be very happy if you could upload a video how to make the pictures look like this.
Thanks
The images you have captured with this camera are incredible! Absolutely stunning! I have yet to buy any native RF glass for my EosR, but man those pics make me want to... Haha! Thank you so much for making this *actual-real-world-pro-user* review. I'm always excited to go out and take pictures with my camera. But now I am so even more! Thank you Alex! 😃
Hey alex!
May I know how you set upyiur camera for wedding photography? Thank you
I have two questions about the R!
1) Have you missed focus with the R in low-light? Is the AF fast enough for weddings? I do weddings (not sports)
2) How do you usually back up using the R?
Good honest review. You made a great point about focus accuracy. In some ways this is much more important than focus speed. And you nailed it about the RF lenses. This is what's going to make the EOS R sing.
Great video! I loved it a lot! I have one question however... were all the photos you showed with the EOS R?
Yes sir
Hey Alex, would love to see a video on your editing style/presets used? Really love the tones!
If I get this a bit more I’ll throw it on the list. Next few videos I have planned are around lenses and a camera comparison :)
Dope @@ABarrera
I had a follow up question. You mention in the videos that the canon glass "nails focus everytime" is that when you are in the face tracking/eye focus or with center point focus or both? Thanks man! @@ABarrera
@@ABarrera Hi, me too i'm very interested about your editing. Very very nice pictures. Or do you sell your presets ?
stunning images!
The return window on my EOS R is about to close and I’m thinking of taking it back to the store. My main issue is the way Canon handled the blackout, which results in what it feels like shutter lag. Going from 5D IV to the EOS R back and forth makes very apparent how fast the 5D is in comparison.
My other disappointment comes from the RF 35mm 1.8 which lacks character and images look just meh.
Lastly I experience something I’ve never seen in a canon camera before: images on LCD and EVF look completely different colors than what they look on the computer or phone. Wether it’s RAW or jpeg they look so much better on the camera. It’s like the camera was working with a deeper color space and then translated to sRGB, loosing a lot in the process. Maybe I just got a bad copy?
ypu look happy doing this. im deciding on this cam and this push my decision all the way up. ill like and subscribe to your channel sir. thanks
Btw, how do you like the grip on the R, and especially with regards to touch and drag focus. Do you reach the screen in an ergonomically pleasing way?
I love the grip, I have large hands and it’s extremely comfortable. When I shot Sony my hands would start cramping throughout the wedding day. Buttons and touch screen are all placed in a reasonable way for my set up.
Since there only 1 SD card slot what do you do while you're shooting to back up?
I’m pretty sure I’ve watched this video 50x in the last day and a half! I’m on the fence of getting this camera and lenses for wedding photography! 🤷🏽♀️
I needed this! But I very interested to know what your backup solution is as you mentioned, regarding not having dual SD slots???
Thanks!
Hey I made a video about it. Check it out on the channel :)
Are you able to shoot weddings with face detect? (If it’s quick enough.) Or do you mostly have to move focus points?
I leave it on face detect auto tracking through out the day. There are times where I have to touch a subject or area to acquire focus. So far this setting has not failed me.
Could you share how you backup your photos when your shooting weddings? I would be so nervous shooting with a single card slot camera. Thanks for sharing your experience with it! :)
I own canon 6D, and lower model, never been into problem using single card slot
Haha I'm sure one card slot is fine for most people, but I wouldn't want to be the guy who lost all of someone's wedding photos because I didn't have a backup
5d mark iv and EOS R and rp which one is best for wedding photography and long term use
you sold me. Thank you. I love your photos also. I am subscribing.
Thank you!
Im having trouble getting my EOSR and my 600exrt to give me consistent results if any at all when shooting in ettl with rear curtain. Have you done any similar shooting? If not do you mind giving it a shot and letting me know your results? I want to know if its my particular unit or the system in general. (Using adapted EF glass)
Hey Man, I am using flashpoint flashes. Haven’t had any issues with them so far.
