    Tony & Chelsea Northrup test the Canon 5D Mark IV (sdp.io/5D4) against the Canon EOS R5 (sdp.io/R5). How does it compare for photography, portraits, landscapes, image quality, dynamic range, and 4k video? The most important differences are the classic debate between DSLR and mirrorless cameras: things like an optical viewfinder vs an electronic viewfinder and lens sizes. Sensor stabilization and a flip screen make a big difference, too.
    We test the Canon RF 15-35 f/2.8 L, RF 24-70 f/2.8 L IS, and Canon RF 70-200 L IS.

    Been using the 5D Mark IV and there is truly something about the raw nature of this camera never failing that has photographed probably close to 200 weddings on it. It's been dropped several times and still works perfectly. I did find some lag when using the R5 during important things. But the MarkIV on Manual Mode is as close to using an old film camera as it gets. I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything. The eye focus is literally the only thing that I want on the Mark Iv. I wish they could add a firmware update or something.

    I upgraded from a 7D to a 5D Mk IV since I had autofocus issues. I still find that the focus worse when using the viewfinder than when using the LiveView. I messed around with micro-focus adjustments to get the sharpness as close as possible to the LiveView, but when I change subject distance, I don't get sharp shots with the viewfinder. Did you ever experience something similar with the 5D Mk IV?

    Thanks for another great video. Where would the EOS R sit between these two cameras for a stills photographer (no video)?

      Hahah great point. The 5D IV got lambasted by RUclipsrs (including Tony) when it came out . Now people look back on it fondly. I had it and the image quality was the best of any camera I ever used (much better than even the R which exhibited shadow banding - something Tony pointed out in the R review)

    I’d like to know if it’s worth it to switch from a D850 (seeing as this is the SLR you guys still use as far as I know) to a mirrorless - either a Canon R5 or Sony A7RIV. I get this video is for canon shooters, but I don’t feel married to any one brand as I can sell my body and most of my lenses in any system pretty easily.

    I was excited about the R5 until I saw that the R6 with 24-105 f4 cost the same as the R5 body, so that seemed a better option. I mostly do events, so 20MP is more than enough and the lower resolution is a bit better in low light conditions. What really matters is the stabilization and new autofocus system, and that’s the same for both. Now I just need to get enough gigs to cover a RF 70-200 2.8...

    I started photography as a hobby back in 2010 or so, with a 600D and a 18-55mm kitlens. Within 6 months I got the EF-S 55-250mm.
    I used that camera A LOT, but decided to go full frame in 2018 with the 6Dm2 with a 25-105mm kitlens. By that time, I also forced myself to only shoot in manual, and also got the Sigma 70-200mm. Amazing set up.
    In the recent months, I was very fortunate to order a R5 with the RF85mm as an incentive workbonus, and recieved my new gear (including the ringed adapter) 2 weeks ago.
    Man, that thing is a beast! Once I had all my buttons customised, the speed of my workflow had increased so much. I love this thing, but have a constant feeling that I’m not worthy :)

  • @r1rob504
    @r1rob504 3 года назад +1

    The EVF lag vs OVF is still an issue for me and why I would choose the 1dx3 over the R5. For now my 5dMk4 works great, but seemed a bit dated after shooting with the 1dx3 for a day. I like the R5’s eye tracking features and IBIS and think they should be standard with the 1dx3. Perhaps the rumored R1will include an EVF/OVF hybrid option combining the best features of both cameras.

  • @codythep
    @codythep 3 года назад

    I thought the background was in focus at 6:09 as well, and it is, but he doesn’t have it on “continuous AF” so he has to press the back button to focus every time he wants it to re-focus. The grey box will turn green when it’s in focus.

I feel like I won’t be buying another body for at least 5 years if I buy either one. My main focus is landscape and possibly wild life down the road.

  • @jeremyryannoel
    @jeremyryannoel 3 года назад

    Shoot. 1.75x crop @ 4K with 5D? I’ve been researching to possibly switch from a Sony A73 body to Canon since I have Canon lenses, and AF doesn’t work with video. The only workaround, I’ve found, is shoot video in manual mode with an external recorder...since touch AF still works in manual. You’d think adapter manufacturers would address the AF in video mode issue since I’ve ran into it with 2 adapters while hearing that most people struggle with this. Maybe I just need to be patient, and switch to Sony glass?

    Thanks for this, guys. I'm an amateur and I'm about to upgrade from my ageing Canon EOS 6D which I've owned for 9 years and which I really like (generally attached to my 24-105 F4L lens). I'd been considering buying a 5D mk IV to replace it along with a 70-200 F2.8L, which I'd always coveted but I've just noticed that I can buy an R5 and EF adapter for virtually the same money (in the UK). I think that's what I'm going to do and I'll save for some new 'R' glass later, since the R5 does seem like such an upgrade (especially with the new, major firmware update about to land). The EF L lenses were always so highly regarded that I'd thought that there wasn't much room for improvement but your video has shown me otherwise!

  • @jamesjin8839
    @jamesjin8839 3 года назад +3

    The new RF lenses might not look apparently much sharper. But what I consistenly observe them comparing to old EF lenses is corner contrast especially when shooting distant subjects.(not compared in this video.) EF lenses tend to give you the traditional SLR hazy/ghosty corner while RF lenses preserve much more contrast and thus appear to be sharper. Couple with extra pixels and a little better resolving capability the images look much better even when you peep. Particularly useful for landscape.
    However the bum of this system currently is exactly what tony mentioned. The increase in price of the bdoy is largely due to all those video features packed in there that many are not really emphasizing. (how many % needs 8k) I'm still waiting for a less video focused, more still mage centric body model to consider any switch.

  • @gwal93
    @gwal93 3 года назад +3

    Any camera in the right hands i.e. a photographer who knows the system they are using and has creative ability will produce amazing images. That is stage one, stage two is post processing to get the maximum out of an image in a style that has impact and reflects something original rather than the everyday snap. Having said that, few of us get there because we fail in one or all of these things. Whatever the camera, it takes time to get familiarity with all the features and settings and this only comes with practice of every feature until you can do it in your sleep. Selecting the appropriate camera settings for the subject is next. Composition is more an art/creative thing but there are basic rules that seem to work. Get the lighting and exposure right. Post processing can take many times longer for each image than it took to take the image in the first place (including the travelling time to the location) and often we fail there, we either don't process enough or we process too much. Only many attempts and tweaks will get you there. If you have a 5D Mk IV and you are producing 1 acceptable image out of a 1000 (like me) then you will provably get 2 out of a 1000 with the D5. Your issue is not with the camera and its technology, it is with you. Practice with the 5D Mk IV until you can honestly say you just can't get a better image of everything you take then you are ready to move on to the R5. If you are where I am right now with my 5D Mk IV .... by that time you will be able to pick up an R5 at KEH for half the price of buying it now.

But he is also not wrong that it has been used by pros everywhere for just about everything. And his previous criticisms were not for it being a bad camera but rather for not being much of an upgrade from the mkIII.

  • @Luigi13
    @Luigi13 3 года назад

    Hello Tony, Canon has a better autofocus than Nikon looks like. After using the Nikon Z7 for three weeks I finally returned it. I used the adapter with my other lenses and the performance was not that great, I tried the IBIS and I was not that impressed, I could get similar results with the D-810 and the lenses I use. Battery doesn't last as long too, so even though I purchased it refurbished I decided it doesn't serve me for what I do. The only thing I like is the screen because it tilts, so I am looking forward for the D-850 instead. The D850 is proved and tested to have a good autofocus and since now I have two XQD cards and a reader I will go for the D850. You and your wife used it quite extensively right? Do you still use it? Or you guys change cameras frequently? Good video.

    Great video. Going through the upgrade process from a 5d Mk3. Your informative video 'sold it' and has reassured me that the R5 is the right choice for an upgrade. I was tossing whether to change systems, but I was worried about my current investment of EF glass. Its great that the R doesn't mean that my EF glass becomes redundant. Sadly our dollar is not good. The investment of the R5 will be well over what I paid for my first car. Oh well that was a long, long time ago now. Time to spoil myself. Keep producing great videos. I really enjoy them as they are not bias or influenced by any particular brand. Cheers from down under.

    As someone who recently got in to photography, I feel like it is important to go through the motion of an older DSLR while learning. I feel like a newbie going straight to a modern and expensive mirrorless would have software doing a lot of the work for them, and they wouldn't learn the core aspects of the tech side of photography. You have to know your depth of field, how your camera and lens handles higher ISO, whereas a mirrorless shows it all realtime so you can see what works and shoot. It is great, which is why they are the best right now, but for learning from scratch I think the older is better.
    Although I'm sure people say the same about going from film to DSLR

      Don't artificially limit yourself. If the tech gets the job done, use it. That's why it's there.
      You can still learn all the other things and apply them for more specific situations.

    Many years ago, the only thing holding mirrorless cameras back, was the auto focus and bad banding issues. The auto focus issues were effectively completely fixed, and the banding issues are almost completely gone. The Dynamic range of the EVFs have also improved greatly to a point where the they can be effectively used for manual mode. Overall, beyond battery life there is no reason to not go with mirrorless.

    I have a huge dilemma. I have Canon 80D and I want to start making music videos and commercials and eventually start making movies so basically I have to move to something with a bigger range than 80D. Of course it is easier to rent an equipment for movies, you just wont spend that much money on Arri Alexa yourself. So I am thinking if I am not going to buy Arri Alexa myself in the future then I only need a camera for commercials and music videos and my question is whether I should go to Canon 5D mark IV or to something even bigger as Canon C series lets say....I am not sure. I want to start with 80D and save to buy a professional camera that I could make professional work on.

    Sony kind of pissed me off with this introduction of mirrorless- cameras thing. I didn't like it years ago when Sony introduced themselves into the camera market by declaring that they intended to outdo all other established manufacturers within a think it was a ten year time-period. I respect the fact that they've managed to come close to doing just that. I still think that the Canon 1dx III is the best. Too much hype about mirrorless cameras. What about the fact that Canon decided to make their RF lenses plastic instead of the metallic EF lenses? Also, so what if you can see the histogram and a bunch of data in the electronic viewfinder. People should pay attention to their composition instead of a thousand other distractions. Not a big deal that you need to verify exposure with the histogram through the LCD screen in DSLR's because you're supposed to know what you're doing during exposure as a photographer in the first place. Histograms are for verification purposes, and fine-tuning within a third of a stop purposes- not for real-time as things are happening analysis. Who can do that, anyways? Someone who doesn't know exposure in the first place, I guess. Also, if I want mirrorless, just go in Live View mode and you have most of the same right there. The only real benefits of mirrorless camera are: depth- of- field previews loose no light in mirrorless, possible faster autofocus potential in RF lenses because of the more pins involved in the bayonet connection with the camera, in-camera image stabilization, and the bright viewfinder in even low-light environments. Also, an action camera for wildlife photography, (myself), or sports photography should have the vertical grip included all as one body- less dust and moisture entry issues and the camera would have the shutter button and main dials for vertical-grip compositions. Hopefully, Canon doesn't abandon EF until maybe ten years out, (2030), there's still time for one more DSLR= Canon 1dx IV at hopefully 30MP.

    Just the body is a big step back. I own the R6 (R5 is still not available in Germany :( ). The 5D IV is so handy, the dial button easy to reach with the thumb. On the R6/R5 you need both hands to work with the dial. Big step back in my opinion. The 5D body was soooo good. Why the changed it? Bigger body would perhaps give more space for the overheating issue, too. And the buttons also feels not so good on my hands. It reminds me more to the G series rather then semi professional 5 line. Interestingly, no youtuber mentions the small body; is was/be a bit unhappy and will miss those ergonomics.

    • @PSYCHIC_PSYCHO
      @PSYCHIC_PSYCHO 2 года назад

      Plus the R5 isn’t anywhere near as curvy as the 5D MKIV, I particularly hate the inner side of the grip of the R5, it’s almost at 90 degrees with the front of the body, and so the grip isn’t as curvy as on the 5D MKIV. Cannon should have made the R5 body design like that of the 5D series

    Noticed on a few of these R5 video's you mention a lot about the sensor dust on Sony's (I believe the other Tony said he'd clean the sensor in the morning and by lunch he'd have dust), I don't know if it's my technique but I really don't have this problem.
    Yeah, it gets dust more so than my old dLSR, but, I cleaned the sensor maybe every three or four times (on an average shooting every other day, had the camera about three years now). I'd say I switch lenses quite a bit too during shooting (28-75 is my walkabout but I'll swap out wider or a telephoto where needed, then there's the pile of "interesting" lenses for other aspects). Also I probably get more dust bunnies on the front of the glass then on my sensor, whenever I get home and see I've got dust marks it's probably three out of four times the glass than the sensor.
    Love your guys work, appreciate this appears a bit negative, just kinda stuck out, but have learned a fair bit from you guys and also find your video's great for linking to explain things to friends better (or just rando's on reddit).

    User of Canon 1dx Mark iii and Nikon D5 pro dslr cameras. I cover areas from Action,sports & wildlife environments both in daytime and nighttime with climatic differences come into play.
    I have tried both mirrorless variants from Canon and Nikon in similar environments but wasn't impressed with the mirrorless cameras regards to tracking,focusing in low light and robustness of either Canon or Nikon.
    Mirrorless cameras don't feel as sturdy enough to use on a daily basis for my needs. I will only switch if a Pro Mirrorless Canon 1dx Mark iii and Nikon D6 cameras become available otherwise I will stay with the Dslr cameras for my work.

    So there are some things that the 5D Mark 4 doesn't have that are available in other DSLR's, namely, the 6D Mark 2 has a flippy screen, and the 90D has 4K video, and the 5Ds has a higher resolution than the R5. Also the 1Dx Mark III has freaking backlit buttons! If there's to be an end to DSLR's there needs to be a "be all, end all" model that takes all that and as much of what's in the R5 as possible and crams it into a holy grail model because no matter what you do, you just can't get it all in one body!
