Many years ago I watched Casey neistat introduce you to me. Slowly I started watching your videos and almost a decade later I am using two camera bodies to create my own art. I have no stigma or any ego involved in the work that I do. Although I am struggling to make money and push my dreams to the forefront, I am elated to create photo and video. Thank you for blessing me with that gift and my life has changed indefinitely because of you. That is why I can say I love you Peter and your videos are still leveling up somehow
He really has impacted a lot of people. Even I got to hone my photography skills because of Peter. Got into it more when I started watching his vlogs and tutorials.
Still have to take in consideration that how many effort took to make those videos and planing in advance. A lot more then what you think it takes to make a Peter Mckinnon Video. Still a W though
Great video, high quality. As someone who has shot professionally for the last 5 year with the R5, I think I'll wait another 5 years for the R5 III. There's not much here that makes me want to go out and preorder this.
I just bought the C70 to compliment my R5C. Doing about 80% video production in 20% stills. I am happy to say that I don't need this camera. For the first time in my life I am content lol. I really love what Cannon is doing here though and I would absolutely treasure this camera if I had it
Agreed. Only thing I’m excited about is the LPE6P batteries that have enough juice to support 8K60. Waiting for canon to confirm we can use this in the R5C instead of a external PD option.
@@yti also before I got this C70 I was waiting for the release of the R5 II. Unfortunately I ended up jumping on the C70 when I traded in my GH5 And I didn't plan it. So I was thinking when the r52 came out I might want to upgrade. I'm good though 😂
Almost 5 years ago???? Buddy the R5 was released in July 2020 and it's now July 2024. Where did the extra year come from? Enjoyed the video really liked your bit on the noise reduction tech and the puncher blacks in low light. That is a huge plus. Haven't heard anybody mention that yet. Pre order is in! Can't wait to start shooting with this camera. Going to check out your R1 video too.
Well he is a canon ambassador he probably got the preproduction unity really early. Maybe that’s the reason. I was also confused when he said 5 years. 😅
keep in mind the r5 mii is in his hands as a preproduction model meaning it isnt released yet. and 4 years and counting is "close to 5 years" in a sense....
@@Check-it-out do you own s5ii or s5iix ... Dont ditch so soon ... I don't hate canon, actually i started with canon but they move up with technology very slowly...look at r5mark ii they took 5years to update...still can't feature a inbody active cooling system ....no active cooling with 8k sensor in a hot humid condition,it wont just cut it . That battery grip cooling looks absurd and after thought.
stick with Lumix...especially with their flagship S1H II or whatever it'll be called coming up later this year most likely. And you can use Sigma lenses on Lumix...still stuck with slow slow rollout of lenses from Canon...and that new 35mm Canon lens hasn't got good reviews from what I've seen.
I love that handling the camera in the video, you're just flashy with your magician skills... confidently twirling with flair. I feel like you just do it naturally and maybe you don't even realize you're doing it. :)
I don't shoot video. I mainly shoot in studio and urban. I really want this camera, but I'm going to hold off as I can't see any advantages for me personally over my R5. I'll just invest in more RF glass.
The R5 II - the Queen that never was. As Nikon user , Canon blew away every current offering on the market, especially the AF performance look frighteningly good.. Sony has the A7 V, but I am not sure it's AF is as good , maybe an A7R VI would leap frog it. I will have to wait for the Z9 II , to get actual AF performance similar to this , hope it will come at the end of next year , I'm starting to save up :) Well done Canon!
yes, because the R1 is simply a lackluster release by canon. The R3 def. was supposed to be the R1, but Nikon and Sony simply destroyed Canons ambitions. How can the R1 be worse than the A9III and in some regards being marginally better than the A1?
Except for full time high level pro news and sports shooters, who will buy the R1 for sure. Most already have the R3 and some will upgrade with time. The R1 has a purpose.
They're getting bigger again! I'm holding tight to my Canon 6D Mark II. It's often overlooked, sometimes unknown, and still a good camera. Stick some good glass on it, and it's pretty remarkable!
So 5 years later they almost caught up with a Nikon Z8 or Z9. I can appreciate color science etc, but really? Is this suppose to be exciting? Great video Peter!!
I wasn't a super early adopter with the R5. Supply chain issues and all that kept it out of my hands until March of 2021. It was my first big camera purchase since I got a 5D Mk III in 2013. It took me a long while to fall in love with it, but it's now my favorite camera I've ever owned. I don't see myself getting a Mk II anytime soon. The OG R5 does just about everything I'll ever need in a camera. Even if something goes catastrophically wrong with it, I would probably just replace it with the same model. Edit: Considering Canon released the LP-6NH batteries for the R5 and R6, it seems greedy and environmentally wasteful to make another new battery just one mark generation later. Sure you can use the old battery, but we're keeping special features locked behind this new hardware based paywall.
What will decide for me is the autofocus and lowlight video noise performance. I’ve been on the fence about switching to Sony for 12800 native iso, specifically for underwater stuff since it’s always several stops darker if you’re going very deep, and then autofocus. I shoot fight choreography and stunts for previz in the film industry and the point you said about holding focus on a a subject even if someone else steps in front would be huge for me. Autofocus racking between subjects when shooting fights is a big annoyance for me so that’s great news. Sony autofocus has been smoking canon lately so hopefully it’s matched now as I really don’t want to switch ecosystems
Yo Peter, I’ve been doing CZcams for about a year now and I’m about to hit 80k subs. Your videos are so inspiring! Nothing gets me excited to make videos like watching this channel!
I like when canon comes out with mirrorless camera features that Panasonic had 7 years ago and for half the cost. Like a full size hdmi and waveform monitoring.
Lumix always has been very interesting and ahead from a video standpoint. I just can't make the jump myself for the photo features. And the autofocus just is not as snappy as I like it to be.
@@goodgremlinmedia2757 Yes, but its their first gen. It is not as sticky when tracking. Especially for the type of events I shoot. I hope their next cameras will be better.
Forget about the camera-that's a beast on its own🔥. What I just witnessed in the first two minutes is on another level entirely. You're taking content creation to new heights. Absolutely loved it. Always inspiring ❤❤ 🔥
Got me into photography just from watching the first Meet Walt video. Now having a new dream of opening my own shop and creating content for it and investing in it that way by creating pictures that make a story from that. Hoping everything is peaking for this year!
Honestly with flagship cameras today, you just want them to work and work well. They do the job for certain and are robust enough to handle anything you throw at it, weather conditions, high buffer to keep shooting without worry about missing the shot, battery life, ergonomics, etc. I think though its a matter of time before the first camera manufacturer really steps outside of the box and thinks on what photography could be if we didn't stick to rigid norms of what a camera SHOULD be. If I had ideas to throw around just to get people thinking, how bout this: Square sensor. So you don't have to worry about holding the camera portrait or landscape, you just have the shot and your lens is covering more sensor altogether. And, say if its square sensor, you could put it in crop mode to where it doesn't matter what orientation you're holding the camera, it could horizon lock your footage when filming video, something that a lot of action cameras do! Come on flagships, look at other camera's and what they do differently! Another idea, and I'm sure this is bound to happen: computational photography. And no, I don't mean like how smartphones do it where it just like smooths out skin and fake blurs the background. No, to hell with that crap. I mean where it can better compute things like your exposure. Imagine say, per-pixel auto ISO, so you'll never have a blown out highlight and never have too dark of black levels. How about LIDAR depth sensing for even more accurate focus pulling especially if using manual lenses. i dunno, just thinking that the future of photography could do some experimentation. If more camera companies experiment, maybe some ideas might emerge as great ideas and could revolutionize photography, instead of what we have now, which is just slow evolution of photography, not leaps and bounds.
As an R5 mk1 owner I was a little worried about the mk2 giving me some buyers remorse. Honestly, the only thing I’d want is the subject locking for autofocus while recording video, and maybe that can be achieved with a firmware update (although not likely). Even still, I don’t see a huge reason (for non-professionals) to rush out and purchase this camera.
Sony's Global Shutter was a surprise. Before that, nothing really ground breaking happened in the camera market for a long time. Most cameras have gotten good in recent years.
It feels as though any Canon _5 series camera would always have to live up to its top-tier status. The camera is just that versatile! The new R5 II looks like a serious beast that needs someone special to tame it.
Just when I thought the 5D series was ending, Canon came back and showcased that it will continue to live on, I went from the original 5D in 2013 to the 5D Mk4 in 2021, which I sold last year (2023) and now I'm debating if I want to get the R5 Mk 1 with the Mk 2 being overpriced. In my opinion, the 5 Series is just the best camera.
Bruuu you got me excited for this camera other than the Hassleblads and also the global shutter Sony ( we are now walking in the future my friends)! Been waiting for this since the 5D MkII, now the tech from my old Sony Hx1 Trickles UP and we got insane tech not seen before, imo global shutter coming in another camera and if not, simply around the corner, very exciting times!
I still daily drive the Canon R5, for photos and 4k video. The eye-af is incredible, it's fast, the colors are beautiful, the stabilization is great, the RF lenses are great, the noise reduction is great. I still don't see a need to upgrade to this. It's beautiful though. The price is more than I was expecting though. But you're right, what more is there to do exactly?
As popular as CZcams is Peter McKinnon should’ve transferred from CZcams to straight up broadcast TV with his own show on discovery years ago he’s that good he’s way beyond CZcams👌🏾
When you said everything is that good you are right, canon have trouble competing with themselves i feel, if the R8 didnt exist id have picked this up, but currently my R8 is all of the R5/R5mk2 i need but a lower cost meaning im not gonna be afraid of destroying it
I know we are comparing this to the R5 MkI - but a couple of the features are already in other cameras from Canon. In my R8 (came out a little over a year ago) I have: the physical switch between photo & video. The dedicated record button up top. The overheating display (as the R8 can overheat as well on hot days, especially while filming).
I’ve been wanting two camera bodies for a while. My 5d4 does nothing but collect dust and my r5 gets all my attention. This looks like the perfect combo with the r5 mark 1!
i was just rewatched his photoshop tutorial video named how to fake stuff just to kill time rn and it was 7 years ago man oh man i followed this guy it's like we all became a part of a epic journey, Thank you Peter for getting me hooked into photography and making a living out of it, if someday i get an award for my work i'll for sure give a big credit for it. started watching your videos 6 years ago and will be watching till you upload . Hope to meet you someday irl. Love from India.
While I appreciate the video, to me, the R5 was always a stills oriented camera that was falsely portrayed as a full blown hybrid camera. So for me, I am more interested in the stills features of this thing versus the mki. So far, I haven't seen enough of a difference to warrant an additional $2K price tag, (I got a mki today for like $2300 new). Sure the BSi sensor might get me an additional extra stop of light, and the readout speed of the e-shutter is a good bit faster, but I am not noticing the rolling shutter much at all, even with a fast target.
I think I'm still happy enough with my R5 to stick with it a little while longer. As a wildlife guy, I'm more excited to see what Canon does with the R7 mark II.
Nice update ! I'm keeping my R5 since it's for photography. I reckon for a hybride shooter it's a cool update, but I don't care really for my practice. I would like to see a 60 megapixel sensor at some point for product photography and studio work. What I would love to see is a F1.4 line up, like a 50 1.4.
Great video! I wonder if the low light performance better due to a better sensor, the noise reduction, or a combination of both and how does that differ from the noise reduction you can apply in the editing stage. I think Canon learned a lesson from the mark 1 release and focused on making sure this camera is a solid camera vs. some feature that could prove risky. Much to Peter's point, where does Canon go from here? As a Blackmagic camera user, I think Canon could look at including RAW but at different compression ratios and allow you to record RAW but also a smaller proxy file at the same time. I think the battery situation with having to buy new batteries just to get the fan to work is a little meh but, it is what it is. Looking forward to see how this will be received. The price doesn't seem too bad either!
I never thats how hats were made, it makes you appreciate the craftsmanship in into the art, and this video you made im new to your channel just a great learning experience to me sir i clicked cause im a camera junky, but this has definitely been a great experience thanks for the video and your hard work sir
Loved the cinematic at the beginning. It would be cool if you mixed in the A-roll that describes the R5 with the hat-making footage. Would make for a cool dual-story. Great Work 👍
Good camera. Much better deal than the R3 Mark II, aka R1, for most people. But it is also VERY expensive for what it is. I don't understand. How do they plan to gain more market share at these prices?
What a video! :) While the R5MII sounds great, I am gonna stick to my R5, as I rather save my money on RF glass. Also, I really hate the fact, that the old battery grip, cage, etc. won't work with the new R5MII, which would make an upgrade significantly more expensive...
400 for cooling grip is crazy! Typically example of designing with a problem and charging us for the solution 😅. Camera itself lookings interesting. Will be renting it out to test
To really make a splash it wouldve required a DGO-Style Sensor…MUCH improved dynamic range in Photo and Video would nowadays be a HUGE difference maker, that could actually lure people into their system… but it would have to be major, like a 2 stop increase in DR and a 2 stop increase in extreme loe light while still having 8k and 40+ Megapixels… THAT would be a gamechanger…so it basically matches Nikon…but for about twice the money
You ask what could be next: honestly, the manufacturer that starts incorporating what smartphones can do (UI /UX, computational photography, connectivity, security) wins the game.
The best thing of having a R5 mark II available is the price drop on the R5.
This is very true. R5 is still a fuckin beast and most people still don’t even put it to the test.
V+ gives YOU CLOG2 - I dont know why NO ONE mentions that EVER - I have both and licence my vplus says ---CLOG2
is it different between clog2 and C-log 2?@@NoSuRReNDeR001

Been using the r5 for 4 years and i tell you other than the over heat the camera is one hell of a beast.
Yep. Loving mine too. I’ll probably upgrade just for the AF but was already very happy with the R5.
Did the updates not fix the overheating? Would you buy r5 or r5 2 if you had a 5d mark 4?
And today my friends,on 17 July 2024, Peter McKinnon uploaded 3 videos✌🏼
And none of them were 2 min Tuesdays
It comes with being a Canon Ambassador.
Still have to take in consideration that how many effort took to make those videos and planing in advance. A lot more then what you think it takes to make a Peter Mckinnon Video. Still a W though

That intro blows up my mind....probably the best R5 M2 intro we will ever see...
This video feels like a throwback to 2020
I still remember watching your video when the first r5 came out.
Can’t believe it’s been so long
as an ambassador(fan boy) he never speak about those issues found in first version of R5, but now he did

The overheating display (as the R8 can overheat as well on hot days, especially while filming).
Gonna switch from the R5 to the R3. The R5II is quite underwhelming and I dont use video at all. However, low light on images is very important to me.
I bought R6 mark II yesterday :D Cant wait to buy this in 2 years :D
FACTS maybe 4 years 🛜🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been wanting two camera bodies for a while. My 5d4 does nothing but collect dust and my r5 gets all my attention. This looks like the perfect combo with the r5 mark 1!
Only peter can beat himself when it comes to cinematography.
i was just rewatched his photoshop tutorial video named how to fake stuff just to kill time rn and it was 7 years ago man oh man i followed this guy it's like we all became a part of a epic journey, Thank you Peter for getting me hooked into photography and making a living out of it, if someday i get an award for my work i'll for sure give a big credit for it. started watching your videos 6 years ago and will be watching till you upload . Hope to meet you someday irl. Love from India.
U funny as hell with the Movie Trailer intro lolol
ps. i want one of those hats .. WOW
dont mind not having my mind blown at all, this is perfect update. thanks PM!
This was awesome Pete. Miss seeing these kind of videos from you.
Also, that hat at the start is… beautiful.
I did a photo/video gig this past weekend. I just wanna say I have seen Peter’s content a while. I’m happy to see he’s still out here killing it!
Excited to finally see a full-size HDMI port on a Canon.👌
While I appreciate the video, to me, the R5 was always a stills oriented camera that was falsely portrayed as a full blown hybrid camera. So for me, I am more interested in the stills features of this thing versus the mki. So far, I haven't seen enough of a difference to warrant an additional $2K price tag, (I got a mki today for like $2300 new). Sure the BSi sensor might get me an additional extra stop of light, and the readout speed of the e-shutter is a good bit faster, but I am not noticing the rolling shutter much at all, even with a fast target.
That was a super nice and impactful hat sequence: some of the best work I’ve ever seen.
Beside Peter firing out three awesome videos on the releasing day, this seems like a dream of a camera.
I think I'm still happy enough with my R5 to stick with it a little while longer. As a wildlife guy, I'm more excited to see what Canon does with the R7 mark II.
Awesome video Peter. Intro is epic as always. We just pre-ordered The R5 Mark 2 and the R1
Peter went from a photographer / CZcamsr to a cinematic mastermind. I can't even believe the amazing job you have done.
What ever
Dude what. 😅
He also went from being relevant to being pretty irrelevant
and his film photos makes me cry. this is a Master Creator.
@maxzett but you are here watching his video, reading the comments and then commenting on it. 😂😂
That R5 body is really amazingly beautiful ! Simply beautiful !
the stitching SFX was naaaaaaaaaaaasty work 🔥
Beast camera gets an upgrade to the Mark II. Welcome back
Nice update ! I'm keeping my R5 since it's for photography. I reckon for a hybride shooter it's a cool update, but I don't care really for my practice. I would like to see a 60 megapixel sensor at some point for product photography and studio work. What I would love to see is a F1.4 line up, like a 50 1.4.
your audio always clean but this sounds a whole better
Canon user here! So exciting! Thanks for this, Peter!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching
Great video! I wonder if the low light performance better due to a better sensor, the noise reduction, or a combination of both and how does that differ from the noise reduction you can apply in the editing stage. I think Canon learned a lesson from the mark 1 release and focused on making sure this camera is a solid camera vs. some feature that could prove risky. Much to Peter's point, where does Canon go from here? As a Blackmagic camera user, I think Canon could look at including RAW but at different compression ratios and allow you to record RAW but also a smaller proxy file at the same time. I think the battery situation with having to buy new batteries just to get the fan to work is a little meh but, it is what it is. Looking forward to see how this will be received. The price doesn't seem too bad either!
Peters still the CZcams camera king...
I think the global shutter is a bit overrated. It's a giveaway for low light in my opinion. Maybe is not that necessary for these type of cameras.
Solid video bro, well done 🔥 also love this whole October, Halloween feel in the office!!
I never thats how hats were made, it makes you appreciate the craftsmanship in into the art, and this video you made im new to your channel just a great learning experience to me sir i clicked cause im a camera junky, but this has definitely been a great experience thanks for the video and your hard work sir
The hat making process was beautiful
Thank you!
Yessssss finally clog2 in a non cinema camera! Matches my C70 now!
Canon is doing so much less polution than all these phone companies by releasing cameras every few years. 10/10 the right way to do it!
It is so cool to see these video inserts, in this case it is the hats production!
Cameras have gotten so good, it’s like upgrading from one generation of iPhone pro to the next.
Loved the cinematic at the beginning. It would be cool if you mixed in the A-roll that describes the R5 with the hat-making footage. Would make for a cool dual-story. Great Work 👍
The quality is unreal! 🔥
The only reason I clicked on this video was because the last time I saw you it was around 2017-2018. It has been awhile. I miss you.
I really like Peter's new approach.
Good camera. Much better deal than the R3 Mark II, aka R1, for most people. But it is also VERY expensive for what it is.
I don't understand. How do they plan to gain more market share at these prices?
We're waiting for you at Sony, Peter.
Been with Luminx for years…. Might switch back to canon
What a video! :) While the R5MII sounds great, I am gonna stick to my R5, as I rather save my money on RF glass. Also, I really hate the fact, that the old battery grip, cage, etc. won't work with the new R5MII, which would make an upgrade significantly more expensive...
And here we are lol I waited for the r1 for years... and im here
400 for cooling grip is crazy! Typically example of designing with a problem and charging us for the solution 😅. Camera itself lookings interesting. Will be renting it out to test
This video is an absolutely masterpiece.
To really make a splash it wouldve required a DGO-Style Sensor…MUCH improved dynamic range in Photo and Video would nowadays be a HUGE difference maker, that could actually lure people into their system… but it would have to be major, like a 2 stop increase in DR and a 2 stop increase in extreme loe light while still having 8k and 40+ Megapixels… THAT would be a gamechanger…so it basically matches Nikon…but for about twice the money
You ask what could be next: honestly, the manufacturer that starts incorporating what smartphones can do (UI /UX, computational photography, connectivity, security) wins the game.
So nice cam, need it for my reviews 🤩
Super excited for some of the photo features coming to the camera.
“A impossibility is just a possibility that you just don’t understand yet”
What a phenomenal job you did in that store
Excellent review including real world tough examples. Very helpful. Subscribed
