This is NOT cheap, affordable yes!
Cody nailed it in the final seconds of this video. "The best camera is the one you can afford to replace." Last Summer I was shooting on an R5 with the 85mm F1.2 and it stayed in my camera bag for most adventures because I was terrified I would drop it, scratch it, break it. LOL
Yeah i think manny koshbin said this - you should only buy something if you can afford 10x of the same thing.
@@datdudeinred lol no one would ever buy anything.
People just need to be more careful with their stuff, use it just don't do stupid things.
I can't afford other camera but i shoot everything I think is possible.
I can't afford 10 more cars but I have to have one and use it to it's fullest.
Or just be willing to lose it and 'have' to replace it. I've taken my 5d mark IV, which I know, I know, it's a cheap camera now, but 5 years ago wasn't, out on the buffalo river many times to take pictures. I put it in a zip loc baggy, then when I felt the canoe and environment were reasonably safe, I took that baby out and got some great shots. Taken it hiking many times in places I could have fallen hard. That's always been a pet peeve of mine though. People buying stuff and not using it. If you have a pickup truck and the bed has not a single scratch on it, you should have bought a car my friend.
Canon decide to STILL use the LPE17 battery after so many complaints about it being crap. And STILL< we have micro HDMI. And no wheel. I'm out. Just get an R6ii.
Or be willing to get insurance. People insure a hobby car they build, a boat, etc. Good cameras no different
the best camera you can afford to replace is the perfect line for a sentiment i have been trying to communicate for years. If you aren't afraid to hold it out a car door for the shot, you are going to get incredible shots. and if you don't, you will miss those shots. TrustinTimber, perfectly said!!!!
Literally there are no bad cameras anymore, they're all what we dreamed of 5 years ago now, even entry level ones.
so funny you say this. 7 years ago, i was like "cameras are so bad unless they're like 5k". now entry levels are immaculate offering options that were only in 5k cameras 7 years ago. crazy.
2000$ body only don't think that's entry level
@@copycatlyn the camera is 2000, its just as expensive as all other bullshit, cameras are so incredibly overpriced its not okay, the upcharge is crazy for what it costs to make a camera... literally just canon tax
Goes with every technology. Imagine after 10 years what will be the norm
if a camera cost more than 1k it isnt entry level lmfao. i shoot on a sonya7r3a but i didnt start on a 2k mirrorless system i started when i was 14 on a $350 used d3500 with a 18-50 (i think) kit lens.
I traded that into mpb and got a d5300 and a Sigma 50mm Art for about 300 dollar difference when i was 16, and then i sold that body and lens and got the Sony when i was 18.
most "entry-level" photographers are kids and teens just getting into the hobby, if you tell them a $1k camera body is entry-level you'll scare em off
"The best camera is the one you can afford to replace." Damn I felt that.
that makes no sense.
@@thesupport4963 Bro when you running a business it makes sense. Good quality + you can afford multiple or replace in a pinch.
@@yagutensho4044 still does not make sense. ‘Let me buy crap and replace it with crap” That’s like replacing Angel Soft with Charmen.
Not crap just a budget option that isn’t top of the line but still does what you need like a m50 or a t8
@@AV.Creative not really a budget camera at $1600 when you need to buy the accessories for it. especially a couple more batteries considering the fact that you will go through that tv remote battery that come with the camera.
"Buy the camera you can afford to replace." I like that. A lot.
Usually my comments get no traffic but I actually think this was one of the best camera reviews I've watched and kept me glued to the screen, the friendly banter around the fire pit, just overall wish these types of review were made more often
No possible... existed there multiple cameras...
The cinematic short film start was a great demo. Appreciated all the practical info after. I think Canon is trying to remove the Mirrorless M series altogether (M6 / M50). Perfect end quotes from both of you: "Buy the best you can afford and actually use it and learn it". ; and "The best camera is the one you can afford to replace". Totally agree. Good hands on review 👍
I love how Peter always wraps reviews into a story. Also, I appreciate his candor, mentioning the cons as well as the pros. Great job, thank you
I second your words. And that's why I trust his reviews, I don't feel like someone is pushing me to buy new stuff, and I really appreciate his comments about the cons.
It looks like a Canon RP Mark II. Honestly, so much so that I don't know why canon didn't just call it that. Rather going with yet another random R number.
Really interesting, the R8. Could you please make a video about the R7? I would really like to know your thoughts about a
R-F APSC camera.
Beginners are NOT putting $1500 down on JUST a body.... sorry.
True but he is talking about amateur photographers for college or business. Not just amateur point and shoot users. For beginners it's still m50 or A6400
That was a truth bomb at the end. Absolutely love that line about the best camera is the one you can afford to miss. Going to have to show this to my students.
So sad to be a filmmaker in Brazil. This affordable camera costs 5 time my monthly salary. And that's not even counting international shopping and import fees.
The last 70 seconds of this video is something I would love to hear 4 years ago. I bought camera equipment for about 2900 USD... But I realized that I never used it because I now have so much stuff that it is too heavy to carry around... I have now sold everything off and bought a Lumix Lx100II and am SUPER happy with that choice!
Mind telling me which equipment you bought exactly? I don't wanna make the same mistake lol
Mr. Mckinnon filming what i film every f*ckin' day. I love it 😍 hahaha
The best camera is the one you enjoy carrying first and using second…..anything else just feels like work.
Still absolutely love my R5. It's a phenomenal camera that meets my needs for video and photography.
Dude we're clearly all here because we can't afford a stupid R5 so get outta here :D
You say "still" as if it isn't still a near 4,000 dollar camera lol. I'd hope it's still useful. Not like 8k is sub-standard for today.
Still couldn’t afford a lens for the camera no matter how cheap it is 😂
As a new photographer I really enjoy your content. You always put out videos that are interesting and great to watch. You have the balance between being both entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work.
Nothing "cheap" about the R8. Except perhaps the battery they used...
FINALLY FIRST…?!
Hey hey, you really were! At least 5 other people falsely thought they were.
Looks like Pete's pumped about the outdoors again, you gotta love it ✌
Oh canon. Bringing the budget goods 🎉 well done
Peter should model for white Jesus paintings.
Also, IBIS is so useful, and Olympus has spoiled me by doing it right.
camera looks sick for the price, but what happens when you can barely afford an entry level cropped mirrorless xD xD well, the time for a camera will come my friends!
Im not interested in video specs tbh i just want my camera to take amazing photos and that is all down to the photographers knowledge of his camera, there are way to may youtube influences getting people to buy gear they dont bloody need and dont get me started on lightroom presets that aint how the world looks
A truthful video about canon cameras from an ambassador. I appreciate this so much
Use the R7 and R10 and somehow autofocus on the r10 seems to be sometimes off too, r7 never seems to struggle. Was thinking about the R8 but I think with my set up I am still good to go. Thanks for the review Pete, love your thoughts on new cameras, hope for an R50 review and I as well would appreciate your thoughts about the R7. Or even better: would like to see what you could get out of the R7… cheers mate
You could get the same footage out of the r7 lol stop worrying and go make some magic dude ✨️.
@@HeroShotz do that already, just would like to see what Peter could get out of that 😉
How's the R7 working out? One reason to go with the R7 for me is because I already have several of those battery types which is a good thing. Also coming from an 80D where I already love what I get, this is a huge step up. Only real accessory I would need is the EF adapter
Sorry to say the video didn't reach 20k likes, but I hope it was worth it anyway.
The very end of the video is just great. I read it as "Gear Doesn’t matter" Redux.
If you’re afraid to break your toys...then that fear is going to sap all the Joy you can get out your toy.
Awesome video as usual Pete!
This camera is €2000 on canon website 😂 yeah..very affordable
Sorry. What is the point of having affordable bodies, when quality lenses cost 2000€+ each?
Not buying anything new from canon with no 3rd party lens options.
I'm sorry I'm definitely new to photography and cameras in general but
IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS 1499 AFFORDABLE?!
Enjoyed this a lot. As an R5 owner, I’ll definitely be picking this up as a second body/backup. Really nice review dudes. 👌🏼
Surely it makes more sense to get an r6 or an r6ii or at least another canon that uses lpe6. If you have two bodies its easier if they are similar; lens mounts, similar buttons, features, batteries ...
Great vid! Coming from someone who has an m50, this looks like a better version of that. Same battery I think, similar small size. This looks like something I could upgrade to one day if I want a full frame camera and more 4k capabilities
I thought exactly the same thing :)
Yeah I have an M50 as well rn with kit lens. Been looking for a 50mm f1.8 to play around or like 30-35mm since its more desirable. Then I was like maybe I should just sell it and buy an EOS R and that led me to this video about the R8. Maybe I should just go for it but it's so expensive 😂
Come on Pete, lets see you play with the R50 too :)
Please don't let hipsters ruin fly fishing.... just stick to what hipsters do, hangout at a Cafe.
Wow, have you heard of the «Tornado EOS» utility program for Canon cameras? It's worth a try, super user-friendly.
Did Peter Mckinnon completely skipped the R7 or does he only review full frame cameras?
No IBIS??? Nah, forget it, I'm getting the Lumix s5II, the best you can get for the price.
I feel like you have found a way to merge the two brands you been running with “Peter McKinnon” and “Pete’s Pirates Life” to have under one umbrella which I think you’ve been trying to do
I wonder why Gerald Undone never reviewed this? I'd be very curious to see if he believes the Pnasonic S5ii or this has better value. 500 dollars cheaper and full frame 4k 60 is hard to deny. I do love my Panasonic though.
I learned that lesson the hard way with i ruined a 90d doing a photoshoot and getting caught in the rain and couldn’t afford to replace it and had to shoot a wedding with my rebel t7i. I’m still anxious about shooting with the rp I have now
I've always used a canon 80D and as of recently I started to check out the EOS R to upgrade... now Canon is about to release the R8... god help me to decide, and I use it primarily for still photography. hmmm.
R8
Awesome AF system
Better sensor with great DR
With great video too
I upgraded to a r6mkii
Love seeing the backcountry crossover! Well said - camera gear gets trashed out there in the bottom of boats and dragged through gnarly portages... but the shots out there are worth it 😊
And here I am, with a Canon SL2 trying my best to deliver good quality jobs...
Please do more videos like this ... outside, looks and feels great
awkward moment when this is a camera I CAN'T actually afford.
Why is the sky so oversaturated in this? Is that due to post color grading or straight out of camera due to a picture profile possibly? Idk it just looks strange
Jup, camera you can afford and as a beginner, you def cant afford any of the RF lenses if you are one :)
I love that comment towards the end. It doesn't matter which camera you buy, just get to know that camera in and out. Get what you can, and don't extend yourself more than you are able.
8:30 Amen my dude... Right now I'm shooting with an Iphone waiting for this exact camera! Doesn't come in till the 15th of April but I can't wait! Shot with EOS R last season and this season the R8 will be the main for the first part then testing out the Sony ZVE1 for the latter half... Thank you for the review 🤙🏾
The BEST camera in the World !!!!! (for such price and even more )))
I love the fact that the R8 is weatherproof because one never knows where that perfect shot is and when found one needs a camera 📷 that's ready!
Sony's better than canon, hands down
I don't do video, just photo (and mostly no motion), RP has been serving me perfectly. Underrated and best value camera imo unless you need video
Camera is afforded but not that RF glass lol 50 mm cost more than R8 smh
1:40 you mentioned replacement to EOS R, I believe it's actually RP replacement. The battery is of the RP, the body is that of the RP.
There are rumors of an R9 to replace the RP. The RP was $999, this R8 is $1500.
@@RoccoGermani pretty sure it's an RP replacement, even Canon's press release I received says it's an Entry-level full frame.
I highly doubt there will come another R9 to be a newer entry-level FF to replace the entry-level FF R8.
Awesome camera with a stupid kit lens. If an M50 with 22m F2 user like me wants to get it, I will definitely go for R8 with 35mm 1.8. Which will cost 1499 plus 399 = 1900 USD OR I should wait some time for discounted Panasonic S5-2 with the cheaper lens.
I’m looking to buy a mirror less but probably I’ll skip this one.
зачем он нужен если есть Panasonic S5 II?
As far as 4K 60 goes, without IBIS, so always shooting with stabilizer; Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K or the Canon R8? Or rather spend that extra money and get the Sony a7iv?
Yeah buy the new cheap canon camera for consumers and chuck like a 2-4k lens on there which beginners absolutely will have at home.
Bought it yesterday! Years of learning and watching your videos, I finally took the leap and I am Super stoked!! Thanks Peters!! Now just need save up 2 more grand for a good lens :).
R3 sharp is R8 sharp... they're the exact same sensor
Mmmm thanks for this. Hopefully I don't need to replace my camera any time soon! 😆
I fully agree, that there is no bad camera announced nowdays. Yes, there are differences, but they count only when you already know, what are you looking for.
I also liked this style and not a sheet of specs, great video!
crap looking photos. why? is it you or camera so bad?
Canon: Will we release the new R8 next summer? Ah, c'mon let's release it now in winter and see what Peter McKinnon makes of it....
Save $100 and go for the EOS R. It has higher resolution, better battery, a cover for the sensor, and more. Still don't know why they bothered making this camera. What are the benefits over existing bodies like the R and RP?
Gosh! The way he uses sound. I can already hear at least 5 layers of sound on Premiere!
I've watched so many different reviews on this camera after deciding the R6ii was out of my upgrade budget! But this video has swung it for me!!
Now canon needs good affordable RF lens.....sigh
but what if you filmed an audi r8....with a canon r8
Hey bro, love your video!
As a suggestion: maybe put in the corner which lens you used for each shot. It would help out a lot.
Canon R8... the mirrorless beast you "could actually afford, until Pete McKinnon suggested it to 6,000,000 people" is what this video should be titled!
Dont think this is a cheap camera nor one to highlight i disagree
The problem with all Peter's videos/reviews are that the man can sell everything to you just by his badass editing.
If I had the money I would buy everything he reviews 😉
Currently have M50 and looking at upgrading. Looking at staying in the canon line.
Definitely going to be worth it my friend. Best of Luck on your purchase
Same, was thinking R7 but Canon drops this one.
@@TheArtofKAS thanks. Ya looking at this one now and the R6s when time comes or used options & use that saved for nicer lens
I have an m50 too, it’s starting to be annoying how small it is on my hands..
but in my opinion all this canons are just ugly to look at xD I think I will try a Sony alpha someday.
Dude 1499 for the body only affordable my a$$
is it really the replacement for the R? or is it the RP
I wouldn't say this is for beginners. It's way too pricey for that.
A beginner might be willing to pay $500 total, not $1500 + the price of a lens.
Most beginners don't even start with full frame.
I'd say it's more for the intermediate who is maybe upgrading from their APS-C camera and knows they're serious about getting better.
Exactly
Spot on. That pretty much describes my scenario and why I got it.
It seems to me that you are wrong to talk about it as an affordable R successor in a small body (based on price) with a small battery. This is heavily upgraded RP in a slightly modified body for twice the money, in terms of functions way better, but totally killed by the tiny LP-E17. I went from RP to R6 and for photography, I would buy the RP for half the money again.
In Finland not so cheap cause from 1700 to 2000€. But do you think I should consider a camera like this after recently purchasing 2000D? I'm still an amateur photographer who is really into photographing.
Well, I'll stick to my 80D cuz $1400 is more than what my nice trusty old car is worth---- Great scenery just love it-
Are you happy with the small sennheiser mic compares to the rode ones you usually use?
Still using my canon EOS R and it's still doing a great job for photography and beating out other models besides the R5/R3.
same i dont plan on upgrading for a while at the vary least 5 more years
Loved it but something was off..... Not sure what but as always thanks for leaving me some amazing nugets! That's why I'm always coming back.
I’m about to go use my shit right now!
I want to know where is it the railroad look so amzing
Trustin Tromber is the man of men! .... Great video Peter, get to FL (Tampa) and warm up ... give me a shout out when you get here
How is this camera for night shots?
I wonder what the downsides would be with the lack of a fully mechanical shutter
What’s the lens you using with the R8
Is it even out? Cause it looks to mysterious
If this had came out back in the day I probably would have grabbed it over my R6. That being said this would make a great little backup. I feel like the RP and the R did a fusion dance and went super saiyan and that’s the R8 😂
its the replacement for the RP
man straight up speaking facts after 8:35
Definitely getting a PRO-sumer taste of professional camera vibe. Seems like an awesome piece of gear to get some amazing shots. Very good starting point for the curiously serious photographer. If i could afford it and switch systems Id give it a go. I am still debating an RP.
I have an RP and love it. You can usually find it on amazon for ~$1000, and the body style and specs appear to be very similar to the R8. Personally would recommend going with an RP and using the saved cash to invest in a good lens. That will generally result in a better bang for your buck in my experience
I'm currently about to get my first full frame camera and I was having the same debate except that was before the R8 was announced. It was whether to get R or RP but with nearly all the features of the R6Mii inside a RP body I find it hard to not want the R8 over the RP or the R. I have friends who have the R6/RP and R so I've been fortunate enough to test them all out and there's a noticeable difference for me between the RP and the R6 so I've been wanting something closer to the R6 but without the crazy price and I feel like this hits right in the sweet spot.
Peter said it replaces the original R, but actually it replaces the RP. The size, form, battery and price put it in the RP territory. However it could replace an R if you wanted better video and updated AF.
It's not just Peter, the R8 being the R replacement is coming directly from Canon's presentation.
@@v_r_ That maybe their intention but when you look at it, it compares more closely to the RP. Even Jared Polin reckons it's an RP replacement.
@@alistairbeavis1536 I’m not disagreeing, just pointing out that Peter didn’t make it up. But at best, it’s a mix between the RP, R & R6.
I dont even use canon but its peter, of course im watching it.
