Canon EOS R Hands On PHOTO SHOOT | NOT What I EXPECTED... Switch to SONY?
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2018
- This is a HANDS ON PREVIEW of the Canon EOS R, new RF lenses and lens adapters. This is NOT A REVIEW just yet, that will be coming in the future. Should you sell all your Canon gear and move to Nikon or Sony or do you stick it out?
Here's my take so far, this camera gets a lot right while still disappointing in some ways. But, I think it's a very good start and will only lead to better future cameras. Now's not the time to switch.

“Any camera, in the right person’s hands, can be a pro camera” no truer words have been spoken.
"Gotta have the model run to test the autofocus...". SUUUUUUURE....good one Jared 😏
Marco Rosales BEEEEWWWWWBSSS
Now you need to get a T-shirt saying "I shoot RAW + JPEG" 😂
Would buy one.
A+ hands down best review of this camera posted! Holy cow did you ever check all the boxes on the important points. I dig that filter set up. And I had no trouble taking that model on the beach myself! Great job! Loved the menu views!
Jared, been watching you forever. I really loved your review, better than a lot out there. I felt your were 100% honest, no bias, and just hit the points dead on, and accurate too. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that this isn't the camera for me, but the 2nd version of this camera you can be sure is going to be so much better, and Canon is watching and listening to all the comments in video reviews to make things better. Awesome review Jared ! Thanks ! I watched it all from the beginning to end. Mark over at the recipe channel. Chag Sameach !
Great first hand review Jared. I can’t wait to see what you think after the firmware update and you really put it through the pace.
Great review. Very thorough.
This was a really really great unbiased unemotional video. If you have a ton on Canon glass this camera is a no brainier.
Good review and good pacing. I'm time-poor atm so appreciated you pushing it along.
For a long time i used to think that you are a canon hater but today you proved how journalism should be done and how a product should be reviewed, you were not shy in admitting the good things about the camera and were very vocal about the things that canon did wrong in this camera . Nowadays every other reviewer seems so ungrateful and unexcited about new things any company releases as if it is no big deal and some on the other hand stick to a brand and just keep on justifying and defending whatever the company does. Thank you so much jared you did an amazing job.
Funny thing is, if you watch their other videos, they often talk about using a pretty wide variety of camera brands on set. Some Canons for video, Sony stuff, Nikon stuff.
Kandush Actually, another type of person sticks to a brand which has never let them down over decades of shooting, feels great in the hand and offers all that person needs. We do actually want some skill to come into the equation.
If cameras end up getting every single shot perfectly exposed with little effort from the photographer, every single shot perfectly focused with little effort from the photographer and captures 120fps, so timing no longer matters, etc. then who would ever hire a professional photographer? It would mark the end of a profession other than in some highly specialised areas.
I love the challenge of getting a perfect exposure in tricky lighting with no preview of the image before capturing it. Same with focus, especially of moving subjects. Aren't these the things which make photography fun and a challenge? We're heading towards a world of boring photography where skills hardly matter.
cooloox - As much as I want to refute what you are saying I really can't, at least not how cameras are making it almost too easy. I think cost is still a pretty big barrier, you aren't going to see people dropping 5-7K on a body and a few lenses jsut to avoid hiring a pro to take their photos. I also think that the actual knowledge of what makes a photo great eclipses the bells and whistles that make it easier to get that shot. But, the easier that is, the higher the bar becomes to make a great photo. If anything, it might make it more competitive, but in a tedious way. A way that isn't fun. It's like HDR, once that got easier to do everyone did it. Now, there are tons of garbage HDR shooters out there and almost every camera has it built in, even cell phones. But there are still some really good shots too, ones that couldn't be done without it, and it was more the knowledge of composition that made the shots I like what they are rather than the HDR mode.
cooloox Do you want challenges? Just shot film. ;P
(Funny how from now to shoot with DSLR is a challenge.....)
+cooloox
Ditto! The exact same thing I was thinking while looking through a camera’s myriad of var. functions, adjustments, improvements, compensations and other life-simplifying "thingies", aka "features".
Indeed, with these mirrorless "robots", the art of capturing beautiful imagery has turned into a flawless, sterile and impersonal "documenting" of the world around us.
I often see photos by other photographers where everything is in perfect flawless sharpness, with even exposures and standard processing, looking like 10 million other cliche postcard-like banal "creations", that leave me bored and missing good ol’ times….
During those moments I miss the grittiness and nostalgic raw look of B&W shots of yesteryear, that inspire and propel me to process my photos accordingly....
Just like some article of clothing on an almost nude model, something needs to be left to the imagination, and, similarly, the exaggerated & processed artificial sterility often isn't what moves one's soul.
Not every MWC (a man with a camera) IS a photographer.
With the endless proliferation of more complex and feature-rich cameras, the photo world is over-saturated with all sorts of unthinkable subjects that camera swinging individuals rush to capture.
Sadly, not all of them are true artists and masters of their craft and often rely on the latest gizmo in place of a real talent.
Their results could be observed in millions on sites like Flickr, where they pour their "perfectly steril" shots in hopes someone acknowledges their "creative efforts".
Similar to algorithms/presets-equipped robots, capable of composing only robotic-sounding music, or an auto-tune employed to correct /compensate for human shortcomings - they all make their “final creations” sounding dull, empty, void of life, generic and without a soul, that would otherwise touch the listener.
…Correcting preemptively photographer’s lack of skills has the exact same results: photos that don’t move you and leave you indifferent…….
I love your reviews, and this is such a nice "pre" review as it gives us all the info we want to know. Keep it up man love your work
Hi Jared. A very helpful review. I have viewed a few of your reviews and they have been helpful. I love that you fly through the info and make it effective to listen and watch.
Aside from that color shift that Stephen faced in super impressed! (Then again I'm someone who never gets out of AWB)
Thanks a million for this video guys! M so happy!!
Hey Jared, thank you very much for the very balance first overview and use of the Canon R and Lenses. Truly appreciate your unbias and very balance reviews, that what we as customers are looking for, as Sgt. Friday in Dragnet use to say "Just the facts Ma'am, just the facts". Will be looking forward to your future full review of the Canon R, Thank You!
Except the A7Rii was superior to the 5d IV already and no AA
shaolin95 we get it people love Sony but Canon owners who don't want to switch systems don't care.
Hay jared thanks for your time 😍💞
I really love your real world reviews. So many people butch about this camera(or any camera) without even getting their hands on the camera at all, just by looking at he specs sheet.
Keep up the great work and thanks for the awesome job!
Another great video from you and your Team, and One of your best Hands On Preview to date!
Loved the content, and the way you've done it without taking sides. Thank you Jared and Team!
:)
Mario
I think this just moved to the top of my list, as a possible upgrade. I would wait 6 months or so to make sure there are no late showing problems. Great review! :)
All cameras now adays are good what people need to focus on is what's good for you whether that's ergonomics, specs, familiarity etc. Do what's right for you and your photography!
Personally I need 1080P@120FPS .. so this camera is not good *enough* for me.
Also lack of IBIS really doesnt help.
No that kind of mentality will stifle progress, it is good but if you allow yourself to give every camera the benefit of the doubt then the camera companies will take advantage, it's sad but true
I was just saying we shouldn't be bringing cameras down and saying they are all out bad cameras... I shot nikon and switched to sony (80%) so I can do more video work. But that doesn't mean nikon cameras are bad just means there are differences and to see nikon had made improvements with video makes me want to switch back to nikon for the ergonomics that my sony doesn't have.
Exactly!
Exactly!
Dude I have watched DAYS of videos on the R, and yours was THE MOST streamlined, honest and concise I have seen yet. Thanks so much!
Wow... a real hands on with real objectivity and no pandering to any faction... Kudos Jared! Yours are the best hands on and real world review I can find!
Cheers
Dude you look SO MUCH BETTER with your hair like that! I’m a hairstylist that’s my professional opinion you’re welcome!
To me the adapter with the integrated ND filter is probably the most innovative thing from this Camera... really a brilliant idea imho.
Thanks Jared for the preview of EOS R. A very good preview and I really appreciate your effort. I think you covered almost all the things I wanted to know about this camera. Good job!
I've seen a lot of your videos, but this one was really, really good. Very in-depth and the cutaways to the camera to show the layout of the camera were top notch. Excellent!
well I thought 22 min of video for a review was way too long but it's simply perfect!! good pace and it felt like you did not leave anything out! thanks for the review!
Dylan Baraldi I have only realized it was 22 minutes after reading your comment :) it is great video
*preview
You did a much better job in selling me this camera than Canon did. As a Canon shooter I was wondering why I should be excited about this system but you made some great comparisons with the slrs.
The shutter covering the sensor when switching lenses is a GREAT feature, and one I want to see all the camera companies doing for mirrorless cameras in the future. Those shots of the model running on the beach looked really good too.
wow the best preview to date man. Miles better then the others. It even made front page on canon rumors. I am glad you added the clip of the eos r taking video while walking, and then show the clip with the sony IBIS system for a good reference for the video shooters(Its a great example of how that tech works).
I would love to get this camera (I have some ef glass), but I do need the fps for indoor sports photography (my circa 2009 7d is not cutting it, especially in the noise department with 2.8 glass). Will wait for the other eos r cameras to come out. Or get the EOS R now and make it work, I was doing it with a 350d when i first started, I am sure I can get this to work.
Your great real world first look completely confirm my thoughts when it was announced, and what my experiences in real life are with my 6DM2. Not so great on paper - but excellent in real-life. I’m seriously considering trading up to this! Thanks!
Jared, thank you very much for this excellent review. I appreciate that you looked at the EOS R as objectively as possible. Your preview-review has caused me to seriously consider this camera as I am pitting it against the Sony A7III. Its feasibility would greatly increase if the firmware update allows Eye-AF continuous as well as Silent continuous shooting. Hopefully they also either include exposure Zebras or fix the disappearing Histogram when shooting video. BTW, I am more disappointed that Canon excluded IBIS and full-HD 120fps than the one card slot.
I would really like to know the following:
1. Its performance in low-light indoor shooting. I saw the few shots you did, but the noise appeared a little higher than I would like, especially when compared to the A7III.
2. The highest usable ISO
3. Success of Smart Phone connection for GPS tagging
4. How does focus-by-wire actually perform/feel for both photo and video.
5. Performance of EF-S gold band lenses like the 17-55 f/2.8, 10-22, 70-300.
6. What is the Megapixel value when shooting with EF-S lenses?
7. How does the Sigma 24-105 f/4 Art EF mount (or other popular Sigma lenses) perform?
8. Are CircPol & ND filter lens adapters weather sealed?
Thanks in advance.
Anthony Hall I'm not sure if you're right regarding high ISO noise compared to the A73. High ISO can only truly be compared with the cameras side-by-side capturing the same subject in the same light. Otherwise, comparisons are meaningless. Why do I say this? Because I have shot images with a lowly aps-c sensored Canon 80D at ISO 16000 which were so clean I was amazed. I have an 8" x 12" print from a hand-held shot of a small child standing in the aisle of a cathedral with no visible noise unless you hold the print 4" from your nose. It looks like an ISO 800 print. But! I can also show you images shot at ISO 6400, so grainy that they're only fit for the trash can. ISO is extremely inconsistent in quality on all cameras when you start varying the ambient conditions. Ambient lighting conditions hugely affect ISO performance.
There was a video preview of the A73 launch event where I kept wowing over the cleanliness of the high ISO shots being taken in low light UNTIL the reviewer showed one of the shots at ISO 6400 at 100%. It was an unusable mess and surprisingly noisy for a FF camera. I've seen some beautiful clean images at the same ISO from the same model of camera too.
If you have access to an A73 then replicate one of Jared's shots: a person in a dark room, only lit by the screen of a laptop. Oh, and remember to shoot at ISO 10000. It would be interesting to compare.
Also keep in mind you can downscale the 30MP image to 24MP and you'll instantly reduce the grain size (noise) by 20%.
@cooloox thank you very much for the thorough response. I appreciate your your experience and am glad you shared it with us. A lot of the photos I take are indoor events and the low light performance is important. I understand from the reviews that the EOS R focuses well in low light, but I just wanted clarification of its final image especially compared to the A7III because I am going to buy one of the two. I would prefer the the Canon because I'm already invested in Canon gear, but I'm not adverse to jumping ship if need be. Thanks again.

I can’t believe this was 22 minutes long. I was engaged the whole time, bravo sir!
Thank you Jared and Stephen! Great work as always.
Mirrorless lenses prices will finally drop. As a Sony shooter, I think Canon really made a really good camera. Thanks Jared, your video is good as always. Cheers from Mexico.
The shutter covering the sensor is an interesting [and welcomed] improvement for mirrorless. I hope the other companies adapt this. I pick up dirt every lens change.
You should try a olympus one day. I can leave it wide open and no dirt.
No sure what I believe but the sony view is that the sensor is covered by strong glass, whereas the shutter is quite delicate. Yes it means that need to clean the sensor occasionally but that's pretty easy and much safer than having an exposed shutter. An automatic cover could be the ideal answer.
This is the first of your videos I've watched. I then checked a couple of others. I like the style and you seem to be pretty straight up. No forced narrative.
Best, most comprehensive preview I've seen yet. I'll definitely be checking out the sample images. Thanks!
You really cram a LOT of info into these reviews - great job. Canon did very well for the first model, but the second generation should be killer. BTW, all mirrorless camera/lens systems should feature stepless apertures, IMO.
You called it. The R3 is insane
This video looks so crispy love the color grading and everything about the quality, camera seems like it's built like a tank, camera looks professional not cheap, menu seems to be easy to navigate, Canon seems to have don't a great job for their first full frame, there seems to be a lot of help innovation in this line up to come. Love that Canon log wishes it wasn't such a small crop but adapting S line lenses should work fine I'm hoping, but I don't shoot much video anyway mostly stills. As a stills photographer I can't wait to test this camera out especially the auto focus
Stephen is the GOAT.
Great hands-on preview, no surprises there, look forward to the full-on real-world version! I guess the adaptability of EF lenses is going to b a big deal, so it's good to see that seems very useable.
This is the best of all your reviews. I am not looking for this camera, but I like to be updated on new stuff and this video is just really well done in all ways. I hope your future reviews will come like this one. Thanks for the video.
Hey Jared ! Thanks a lot for that video. Looks like the camera is doing good. I will be looking to rent it for a week-end when it's available to see how it works on my hand too. Very appreciated Jared, keep the good work ! ;)
Thank you for the great review!
Brilliant stuff. So nice to see a 'review' that demonstrates so much of what the camera is capable of in such a short space of time. I have first hand experience of the dual pixel AF, and, like yourself, find it to be the most transparently accurate focusing system on the market.
Thank you for your thoroughness and detail oriented approach to reviews! Much appreciated in helping me decide my next camera purchase.
Beast of a review - very well covered and informative
11:00 ".....any camera in the right person's hand can be a PRO camera." - @Jared Polin
Very well said. Nice! :)
All this Pro crap, who cares. pro just means you are getting paid. Street Walker is a pro.
@@mneedes2 mmmmmmmhm, I'm not sure why everyone is so intent on being "pro", it's the same way I feel when I hear " military grade" as if that's something to brag about. The crap they give you in the military has been rode hard and put up wet
Not true. I ask my friends to take pics of me with my iPhone 7 and I look ugly af then I give them my 35mm film camera and I look like a fucken model bro so camera matters tired of all this bullshit lies. If cameras didn’t matter why tf they so expensive? explain that BITCH
@@suavecito6114 Here's a good explanation: Your friend and YOU haven't learned what makes a good photograph. It's not just a good camera or sharp lens that makes a good photograph. Cue, watch any episode of pro photographer, bad camera from the old digitalrev tv channel. You're probably just stuck in that pro cameras can make a good bokeh photo. But guess what? All that hides is what a good composition can be done and incorporating a background to it. A good camera can hide that you can't properly expose your shots because of its good ISO performance. Guess what? A very good lit subject and overall photo trumps any good camera even if you have an old crop sensor camera. Those flashes, reflectors, beauty dishes etc. are being used by pros for a reason. A pro camera can give an outstanding color depth. But did you know someone who edits their photos and can properly adjust HSL alongside giving the photo good temperature, tint, grading or even split toning. I've seen people with old canon crop cameras like t3i do better than me at edits not only from good coloring but also outstanding posing of the model. And oh you probably didn't even know about posing either. Let alone have your own style aside from letting the camera do it for you.
*drops mic*
Well done Jared - top review with fact and no bias. Refreshing and real - this is a pro review. Can’t wait for your update
Fabulous job of covering the important stuff, especially the handling and feel. I love the way Canon DSLRs work with Canon flashes in the automatic ratio fill flash mode and I hope that this camera continues the tradition.
best preview/review so far on this camera
Anson Liu ooo e
Jesus, that set Lindsay Adler created looks amazing.
Crackin review Jared, to the point and very honest. Nice job, and kudos Stephen.
Great balanced review, Jared, I appreciate your comprehensive review style, I'm really looking forward to the real world review. The Canon R looks like an interesting camera, but I will wait a couple of generations before ditching my 5D4.
Forgot to take footage of the model jumping up and down......ah hem.....for scientific purposes.
Tremendous video. Well done Jared & Stephen.
As usual, great valuation on new camera, thanks Jared you're fun to watch !
Dude, this is a great review! I just bought one and I'm happy to see this from you, even though it came out over a year ago. Gotta check on those firmware updates, but in the meantime, has the silent shooting issue been upgraded yet to more than single-shot, and what other significant upgrades have been fixed since this review? Gotta check your more in-depth review now (where is it, in case I don't find it right away?)
Thanks for your seriously good insights!
The quality and production value of this video is amazing. I wish you could track the people who gave this a thumbs down so I could see what kind of free videos they are offering. Great job Fro Crew (even Todd :)
It was Stephen and I on this trip. Stephen did the edit partially while in Hawaii and partially on Sunday when he got home.
I think the people who thumbed down are Nikon and Sony users.
track sony fanboys
To be honest I was very disappointed with the base specs like everyone else. I thought this camera wouldn't go anywhere and Canon had dropped the ball. However, after your overview I have some hope. Maybe we don't look at this camera as the Sony competitor but as Canons first steps into intermediate/professional mirror-less cameras. Fingers crossed in a couple years they get caught up and we have more choices for great, new, high-tech cameras on equal playing fields.
A thing many forget is that Canon launched a mount first, not a camera. The fact that it started something new, with good lenses at launch and the ability to mount any EF or EF-S lens is what this is all about, as in not much time we'll have a higher end body, and not long after that a successor to this one, and so on. Mount, lenses, ecosystem is what it's all about, not that this camera isn't beating the A7 line-up.
One of the best reviews I've seen in a while. Thank you 😀
As a long time mirrorless shooter, the closed shutter feature when changing lenses is GREAT. I wish this feature came out earlier because it is a major problem when swapping lenses in field.
You da-man!!! Thanks you filled a big void!
Judging by the features and price point, this seems like a solid replacement for the 6d mark ii.
Not really, as someone who has a 6dii, I definitely won't get this camera. It's almost double the price of the 6dii, no ibis, lenses are crazy expensive and to actually use any of the new functions like drop in filters or adapt ef lenses, I still have to dish out yet another $1-400. No thnx I'll keep my 6dii.
As a 6d owner, I see this as a great upgrade. It's what the 6dii should have been. I want a better sensor, more FPS, tilty flippy screen and better auto focus. The R checks all those boxes. It's closer to the 5dIV for a grand less.
Great review. One of your best IMO. Clear, concise, and a thorough review of the features good & bad. 👍
20:03 my english sometimes is poor, this part is taken with EOS R?
3:37 and i thought that the sun was bright!!
Thanks !! ;-))
This was done really well! And as always, as a non talking head, the previewed images made your update much better.
Awesome hands-on demo, thanks Jared! Super helpful in my decision-making process.
What's the name of the model? For research purposes of course.
Marcus Fernando Canon EOS R 😏
Jared Polin ;P
Fro knows phooooto
I meant the girl model. 😁
There's a reason they call it a JOYstick
Gonna be honest, I'm pretty excited about this camera. Have wanted to upgrade from my 6D for a while. The AF performance looks great, and I'm particularly excited about that filter EF lens adapter. Early results look promising, I think Canon will have a winner on their hands.
Completely fair review bro thank you for being objective here. Gave all of the info not just certain info to fit an agenda like some other youtubers
So is Canon going all in on this system? Because i'm not sure if I should sell my EF lenses for the (sort of) equivalent RF lenses :\
this is the future , but you shouldn't change right now
Get the RF to EF adapters from Canon
Yes, the RF 50mm f1.2 & RF 28-70mm f2 are super lens
Did you look at the pricetag of these RF lens ...
Super expensiv lenses...
Wow, good video Jared. Usually I don’t really enjoy watching your videos, because you seem to be negative just for the sake of being negative, but this actually was pleasant to watch and informative ;)
Money money 💰
Excellent, unbiased, objective review - a rarity on CZcams! Thanks so much!
Great video. Love these kind of videos because they are super informational and also fun!
I thought that the EOS R, at its price and lenses, should be counted as a pro camera, and also be judged like one.
Saying that it is not intended for pros is BS.
What do you consider a pro camera? The lenses are of pro quality but the price of this camera is not pro level. It's not even at 5D level of spec, and the 5D retails for USD $3500, whereas the EOS R will retail for $2300.
The L lenses are intended for pro use, but they are obviously made to be matched with future pro bodies. The EOS R isn't one of them, though.
The Sony a7R III is a pro camera by any metric possible, and is $1999... $300 less than this "enthusiast" model from Canon that doesn't even have IBIS or dual card slots...
@@benlunsford4103 Where are you seeing the A7R III for $2000? It originally retailed for $3200.
Jack Smith - A7RIII is not 2000. That is the A7III, which is also not considered a pro camera, though it has some impressive specs and lots of pros have one. Those same pros have other models too though, since they know they can't really do anything rugged with the A7III, or really any Sony. They have a ways to go to get the build quality up to the level of the current market. Maybe they will, I don't know their plan.
Sorry, exactly I meant the A7 III. It has dual card slots and IBIS and as you admit, loads and loads of professionals use it. The only thing "un-pro" about is worse weathersealing than its competitors, but the same is true of the A7R III and the A9. Everything else about it exceeds the 5D IV, which was once considered "pro" but is now left wanting and in desperate need of an upgrade.
A firmware update which adds eye AF and silent shooting in continuous mode, as well as additional touch bar functions and some bug fixes, is announced on Canon Rumors.
Those are very big and important steps. Will be interesting.
Wow Fro incredible review you're awesome even your voice got better by the end of the video. Thanks!
Oh my god. You look so much better with your new cut:) thanks so much for the video. Love the EOS R💯
I'm really conflicted between the Canon EOS R and Sony A7 III now since both will fulfil my needs but the Canon is more likely to work better with my lenses since it's a native adaptor and I'm used to Canon but the Sony is just so much better in several areas and is overall amazing. I'm mainly just a photo shooter so I'm not sure.
Being conflicted is hard.
Canon has the advantage of having a much wider mount than sony. so you'll be able to get lenses like the 28-70 and f1.2 and faster primes. Plus there are way more lenses for canon that you can rent and use to expand your creativity like tilt shift's, macro tilt shifts ( yes canon make these amazing things), fisheye zoom, microscope lenses (Mp-e 65) all these lenses are the reason i got Canon to begin with. It's more about the lenses than the camera. but even more than that, it's the photographer, so the more types of lenses the more creative possibilities.
might want to get the eos R, or wait for another Eos R camera.
Go sony, they are already ahead and will stay in front for the next 5 to 10 years minimum while canon fanboy will find any excuse to justify canon bad spec like its their first mirrorless ... I mean canon is in the photo buisness since a pretty long time ... no IBIS ... its a joke. On my end im selling my canon DSLR FF stuff and will go APSC Fuji, I had hope for that canon mirrorless but now its all gone.
was in the same boat. goin from a 6d with a good amount of L glass. I saw the R rumors 2 days ahead of announcement, and on a whim bought an A7 III and Sigma adapter (local place was out of metabones). devoted 24 hours to setup, learn, and test. I'm 99% Satisfied... EVF could be better, besides that, I'm happy with my purchase. who knows if I'll stick with Sony long term, (5-10 years). but for the next 2-4, I'd make the same A7iii switch.
Definitely Canon!
Jared chasing a model down the beach in Hawaii and I’m looking at flood conditions in Baltimore. Where did I go wrong?
Yeah, what a gig.
It's called "Life". Some get lucky, like Jared, and some of us get thrown continual crap, like you and me
Christopher Martin I won’t call him lucky, the dude has created an awesome channel and is reaping the rewards. But at the moment, his situation is enviable 😂
He's certainly luckier than me. Worked hard at some places only to see them go down the pan due to poor management. Unfortunately life isn't fair and there's not much we can do about it
Hello Jared and Stephen, thanks a lot for your hard work and great preview. You covered almost everything on this camera so well that it is hard not to call it a 'review'! Anyway, I have two questions. Are those three adapters weather-sealed? At least rubber gaskets would help. And, what do you think about the shutter curtain closing. Will that hamper shutter life in case there are dusts getting stuck between curtains?
Watched a ton of your videos.. I finally subscribed. Great stuff. Thx!
Just dont unterstand why canon abandoned the intervelometer and timelapse movie mode.....
lol, did they?
well, sony doe snot offer such functions in their top layer cameras
but you can get around it with a cheap remote or use the s&q mode
I am sure that will be in either the next camera or firmware update.
This camera has timelapse movie mode (4k), we just didn’t discuss it since it’s not necessarily a new feature.
Toby from photorectv pointed out in his last video that there is no intervelometer built in but there is an external remote for an intervelometer.
Just wait for the firmware hacks :)
I shoot raw!
I really got excited when Canon announced this last week. I still am exept for the cropped 4K. If the next version has full frame 4K I might be interested. All the other problems don't bother me as long as I can have full frame 4K with Canon's colour science at a good price like this camera. And of course the new lenses look amazing especially with the extra ring, It seems great to control the aperture. Is it stopped or fluid?
Wow! What an overwhelming response. People were really interested in this camera. Many thanks for the great, unbiased review. Just goes on to show that the real life experience is totally different from the impression created by the spec sheet. Anyway, I was looking forward to your views on the performance of the camera when paired with EF-S and third party glass. Hopefully, you will consider this in your subsequent in-depth review. Keep up the good work!
Nikon and Canon are off their rockers trying to sell a camera that shoots 5.5 fps, one card slot no silent shooting, blah, blah, blah, against the existing DSLR's that offer way more for their price, all these reviewers can try and talk these duds up or down but they are duds! Wont be wasting any money on a "mirrorless" nikon or canon anytime soon......
Nikon can do 9fps on z7 and 12fps on z6 with autofocus and locked exposure. If you shoot in manual mode then exposure is already locked up and that allows to utilise full speed of the camera.
With full autofocus and auto exposure Nikon z7 can shoot 5.5fps and z6 can shoot 9fps.
Locked exposure is NO good for wildlife /bird photography...….animals/birds don't just move in "fixed Light"...….why would anyone currently using a D850 or a D500 want to buy one of these new Nikons? WHY?
Imagine jared being bald or having straight hair
with no beard..
This camera has a lot of good features. The adapter choices look outstanding! The flip screen is also great not only for vlogging, but for shooting very low-angle macros or landscapes, or holding overhead in a crowd. But with the crippled CF mode (no high-speed CF, no silent shooting in CF), it's no good for nature photos. Tony C echoes the single card slot as a deal-breaker for him as a working pro.
If I didn't already have a 5DM4 and 7DM2, I'd still seriously consider it. I hope the next iteration addresses the issues (and adds IBIS). Then, I'll likely sell the 7DM2 and upgrade to the R2, or whatever they call it, as an add-on to the 5DM4.
Hmmm very interesting... This camera seems promising. Awesome review Jared! I'm still contemplating what system to jump into now that I want to go Full frame. Your opinion is definitely one that I consider to be fully credible, that's why I watch your videos and subscribe to your channel! Love the info you provide, now it's time to think and contemplate if I should go with a Nikon D850, and jump into a trinity of Nikon glass, or wait to see if Canon puts out a better camera body with this new system... Gotta say I love what Canon is doing with the new glass!
"If you cant get the shot in one shot you shouldn't be shooting at all" -- Fro Guy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Then You shouldn't be shooting at all
Then complains about one-shot silent shooting ... which is right?
I stand to be corrected (because I cant remember) but was Jared one of those people dissing the older Sony's because you'd hit the buffer 'too quickly' in burst mode? if so thats a bit hypocritical to be now all cool with having to get it in one shot
Scared Jared.. no showing love to this comment ;) #hypocrite
Seems like a winner to me
Hey Jared, gotta say loving the hair, I got to try this camera in London and managed the pair it to my camera connect app what I noticed is that you can set the camera to download the image to your mobile device as you shoot, individuals can weigh up weather this is a suitable for their needs for me I had raw on the card and JPEG’s on my phone. Doing events this can help for me to get images straight up on social media. Great analysis I was impressed with the performance of the ef 50 & ef 85 f1.2. And low light focusing.
What’s the best travel photography/videography camera: Sony a7iii/riii or Canon EOS R? If you only had one Option
Switch to Sony is in the title. Did I miss that part in the video?
You say, after watching the video...
Should you?
Switch to click-bait?
It did seem like click bait
Probably did that to try and bait people in...seems like there’s a lot who would be baited by that 😂
Yup, like me!
like... just buy a 1Dx mark ii. the money you pay for their new lenses with the body is 1dx money :S
I take it that you’re legally blind, I was speaking to the cost of the body with the lens. That paired in with everything the camera LACKS, if you shoot canon it makes sense to just get a 1DX II. You get better VALUE buying the 1DX ONLY because of what it will cost for the body and a 28-70 lens, or the 50. 1.2 lens. You should know what value means, you probly shoot Sony lol. 🤣
Best Review of the EOS-R yet... Thanks Jared!
Thank you for an honest review of the pros and cons of this camera. I'm so fed up of seeing people that have clearly switched from Nikon/Canon to Sony, just going on every video for the Nikon Z and Canon R and just desperately searching for any reason to bash these cameras and justify their decision. Is the Sony AIII better at the moment? Yes. Are the Canon and Nikon FF mirrorless cameras bad? Absolutely not! And it took Sony some years and many generations to get it right. In a few generations down the line, I'm sure the Nikon and Canon FF mirrorless cameras will be something pretty special.
