My wife shoots with a 5D4 and I shoot with an EOS-R. When we shoot video/film together, the resulting footage is close enough to not require much post-processing to make them match under most circumstances. So I think the assessment in this video is spot-on. We've been really happy overall with the quality we've been getting with this combo, and our clients have been happy, too. We're actually even considering adding another EOS-R or RP.
I was going to do the same. I went with the 90D instead for a variety of reasons, one being diversity of capabilities. The RP doesn't have 30p in 4K, which sealed its fate. 24p looks janky on RUclips, which is where a lot of work ends up.
this is helpful. I just got the EOS R to pair with my Canon 5D Mark IV for video.
i have canon 5d mark 4 and Canon eos RP Which camera is good for video and photo?
The EOS R is a great camera. Bought it and tried it for a week, fell in love with it, sold my Fuji XT-3 with lenses and kept the EOS R system. I can't be more happy with that decision!!!
and theres me wondering whats better, im thinking about xt3 and canon rp. I do mostly photos and sometimes videos with gimbal. What would u suggest? :)
i bought the eos R for video. and just love it!
Amazing for my youtube videos and all other work i do as a freelancer.
This is by far the best video to convince someone to make the jump from DSLR to mirrorless, as long as you like Canon. thanks
The EOS R & 5D mkiv are my two main cameras for photo wedding photography and videography. I've really enjoyed them for what they can do and what they offer. I love all cameras but with as much investment in Canon gear it made more sense for me to get the EOS R instead of switching to Sony.
I just bought an EOS-R after having too many error messages/repairs on my 5D Mark IV and this video helped solidify I made the right decision. Thanks for this comparison video
There's a difference.. The Eos R has a little more dynamic range and the image has a bit more contrast. The Eos R looked best.
I can accept that, but how can a faster processor = greater DR? It's the same sensor.
Possibly better digital filtering but if, and that’s a question, the R has more dynamic range it is likely due to improvements in the power supply logic to reduce noise. If they introduced a mark V I would expect a little better performance due to refinement of design, improvements to PCB layout, etc...
You all compared these so well!!!! I’m a photographer first and videographer second. I love how you mentioned that. I was looking into getting a back up cam for video and photography here and there.
EOS R's digital image stabilization gave it away in the comparison between the A and the B shots. I spotted the difference pretty much right away.
I'l tell you one thing that both of those cameras have in common:
-I can't afford them
Tiago Guerra for now, I can’t afford it too 😭
same
same
Saying "How I can afford it" is much helpful than saying "I can't afford it".
@@captainlass22 true
As the eos R’s price continues to drop, it becomes more and more tempting 🤔
Epic Beard!
Nice beard indeed, I picked mine up with a 500 discount. I saved enough that I was able to get the ND RF-EF adapter
@@mkdn wait, you got your beard with a 500 discount? 🤔 impressive
EPIC hahaha. I unfortunately can’t grow a beard without looking like a bum. #patchy
@@mkdn u mean $500 discount? From $1800?
Dang, perfect timing for this video. As a corporate DP I've been trying to decide whether to replace the 5d MkIV as our gimbal camera. Thanks for the awesome video, now I made my decision :D Also, just a note, the MkIV CAN come with C-log in the camera, but you have to pay $100 more upfront for it to come with it stock. So that at least eliminates the need to send it to Canon and pay that $100 fee after getting it.
Corperate DP and you're using a 5D IV as a gimbal camera? For sure feel like there are way better options.. Also, the majority would just get a movi and stick with the huge bump Cinema cameras have imo..
@@ghenaric For a small studio setting, I like flying the 5D due to it's dual pixel AF and ease of use compared to flying say a C300 MkII on a Movi Pro with an easy rig. There are tons of different types of corporate DP's btw. We're not a huge production company that's using multiple AC's. Typically it's me and my junior videographer so I'll be the one with the movi or Ronin and the camera mounted. The work I do is mainly testimonials, and educational content so we're not talking action shots that require a focus puller/AC to help me out. And obviously the 5D and/or EOS R aren't my studio cameras. They're just for any type of parallax motion or quick motion that I want to supplement with our studio cameras when I don't want a slider shot.
The EOS R is great for video. Although I rented 2 for a few video projects. One of the cameras corrupted part of a video clip that crashed premiere. I had to isolate the section in the clip, and export out pieces of the clip avoiding the problem area, and reimporting as pieces. Probably just a fluke. Other than that, the size and quality/settings options was impressive. I use 1DX2, 5D4, C100's all the time.
@@CinemaSteve Like there's some prescriptive list of standard equipment for a "corporate DP." LOL
@@christhompsonphotography6783 How do you know it was the camera and not the card? Was it just one isolated incident?
I have both... I’ve had my “R” for two years now. And loved it from day one. And still do. The 4K crop is not a problem step back, or use a wider lens if it’s a problem.... I always offer 4K. But most clients go for 1080. Do that’s good enough.
The Mark 4 can not do dual recording to both slots. That’s a photo only feature not video.
The EOS R does dual with the Ninja V btw. I didn't know it when I bought it. Nice surprise.
Hi Seth McGraw,
Can you explain how it can do that?
@@nomad0714 I used this guide: ruclips.net/video/VmaHsn4Dv1I/видео.html to setup the Ninja. It just does it. It wasn't mentioned as something that was going to happen, so I'm not sure if anything in my customization outside of those steps had anything to do with it. Let me know if it works for you. If not, I'll dig a bit into my settings and see if I can figure it out.
I'm still rocking my 5D Mark IV's. I've learned this little trick of slightly underexposing on the 5D4 so as to not blowout the highlights and then lift shadows in post and I get a really good image if I do not use C-Log. I shoot 50% Photography & 50% Video, which is why I bought the 5D4 shortly after it was announced.
I do exactly the same thing... always expose to the highlights and bring up the shadows. Never had an issue.
Thank you for putting time and creative editing to create this video! The comparison was AMAZING & very INSIGHTFUL!!
I like a big and heavy camera, so I bought the 5D
Really appreciate this video guys!! Who else's mouth is watering now for this potential EOS R PRO..2 card slots? Possibly IBIS? PLEASE SAY 120 1080..TAKE MY MONEYYYY!
I have both of these cameras and I've noticed the LOG footage is much more noisy on the 5D4. The EOS R is my choice for video! Great video!
Vishal Music World if you are using LOG, I’d say the EOS R
It isn't. That's like saying a camera that shoots 10 fps totally blows away a camera that only shoots 9 fps. The R has an edge on noise control thanks to a newer, faster processor. Leave it at that.
Smede Lightworks For me, there are stacks of shots from the 5D4 that are plain unusable because of the noisy LOG. I never run into that with the EOS R, not to mention the added features of focus peaking and focus assist. The are both similar cameras, but the EOS R is def. refined.
I still have my R. Been investing in lenses. Hoping Canon releases a R5Cii eventually. Shout out to R5ii for its release. I’ve been hearing rumors of a R6C (R6iii) to compete with Sony FX3
I'd love to see a side by side EOS R vs 90D comparison! They seem to be pretty well matched as far as specs with the 90D actually doing a bit better with 120fps FHD, but I'm not sure how the video out of them would compare.
9:49 AN OWL LANDED ON THE FENCE POST!
Amazing find
That was a solid review. I came to check this out because B&H is selling the R for $1499 and the Mk IV for $1999 as of December 17, 2020. And they are giving a free EF lens adapter for the R. Even though they are coming out with a new camera in 2020, this will be a nice inexpensive upgrade to my Mk III.
Got $1000 off my mark iv bundle with a really nice lense in December 2019. Pretty much got a free red band lense lol.
Team Parker all the way, I love you Parker welback it's always nice to see your videos they teach a lot more than film school
EOS R5 is tempting to wait for
Funny, seeing the EOS R getting all the points until "if I were a photographer first and a video guy 2nd"
At 10:00, you forgot to mention that 5d's timelapse only goes out in 1920x1080 whereas the Eos R can finally shoot either 4k or FHD timelapses which is a huge difference. I'd also say that timelapse mode on those cameras are made out of photos which if you expose them right will be at a low ISO and will let you a large field of color work by only dropping down the contrast of the shot, which won't destroy the image because of the ton of infos produced by each photo of the timelapse.
Being able to make 4k timelapse with video makes Eos R clear winner here considering photo timelapses can be done with any tool made for it for about 10 euro, whereas the only way of making 4k timelapse en the 5d will be to make a photo timelapse and work it in post, resize it, etc..
That's a great point! We didn't consider that, to be honest.
@@landonbtw So, were you mistaken about the R's ability to shoot photo timelapses internally? My understanding is that if you set it to bulb, you can make it work...
Great video
Every topic covered
I Loved it
The focus guide is even better than the focus peaking.
Literally my favorite feature on the camera. And that's saying something because it has many that I love.
Was waiting for this! 👍😁
Thank you. You helped me solidify which one to buy. My theatre is going virtual this season and need to be able to shoot video.
I tried a demo of the R with the Canon Rep in Burbank and it failed twice on me.. Not surprised the price dropped so quick compared to the mark IV.. It's still holding some value even in a field of new cameras.. I'm glad I held out on the R...I think what they have coming now will be worth the price..I never jump on the first version of anything so they can workout the kinks
Fantastic side by side comparison, one of the best I've seen so far.
Can’t wait for the Pro R
For handheld, the heavier camera will smooth out microjitters because it has a bigger center of mass. So compared to the imperfect digital IS, I'd give that one a tie, but yeah, the EOS R is a lot better value overall. It's also worth mentioning the dual card on the 5D4 will only record reduntant photos, but will only record video to one card.
Always look forward to your videos. Great job.
4:21 - ease of use. 5d mark IV wins hands down. dedicated mode dial, more buttons, bigger and more comfortable grip, less laggy top lcd. the touchbar is a failure. i bet canon will omit it in their upcoming RF bodies.
just copped the 1dx m2 but i heavily considered the R
Will Freeark how!? The 1dx is a 6000 dollar beast and the eos r is less than half the price. That’s apples and oranges
Will Freeark ok mate if you have that kinda money that’s good 👍🏻😂
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 5D MkIV can only dual record photos and not video. At least I haven't been able to figure out how to dual record video on mine yet.
Yeah, they also said the R can't shoot photo timelapses, which I think is also incorrect.
Best comparison review I’ve seen. What did you film the review on ?
As a career long photographer (Nikon) photographer looking to get into videography, the r5 looks like an excellent first camera 🤔
Great video, guys!
Hey! Prob the best review I've seen on EOS R. Fantastic job as always!
What about the conclusion? which one to take if it is not related to commerce? I would also thank you for the detailed explanatory video
Hi Parker, thanks for this video. I am a beginner, but your advice helped me. 🙏 I will buy the Canon eos R.
Y’all are the first to actually say good things on that Touch Bar.
I actually really don't like that touch bar. I have mine disabled and locked. My thumb hits it inadvertently all the time.
I like it. I really with I could use the right arrow for back-button-focus though. It's in the perfect spot. lol.
What a beautiful bride!
I laugh when people say they are waiting for a "pro version of the EOS-R". Check out the video "Canon EOS-R Not Pro Enough?" where Alex Barrera busts this myth.
@@fulltimefilmmaker Agreed. I just think people who don't think the EOS-R as "pro" are wrong. I think "higher end" is a perfect way of saying it. I just sold my 1DMkIII and 5DIV and don't feel the EOS-R is any less pro than either of those cameras (well, the 1D is a beast in it's own class but still). :)
@SwitchRich I sold my 1D and 5DIV to get the EOS-R and don't regret it. In fact, I have way more fun with the EOS-R and get more keepers with it as well. It has much better IQ than the 1D, and much better "everything" than the 5D (though despite having the same sensor, I feel I can push/pull the 5D images more than the EOS-R's without banding).
At the beginning of the video A had the better dynamic range and colors I thought it was the 5D Mark IV shame on me but glad I brought the EOS R
I've been waiting for such video for a long time, its finally this one, and it's well detailed. Thanks.
Awesome as usual , Top THX Parker Walbeck and team.
The canon eos R does have an intervalometer built in, camera has to be set to bulb
That's what I thought. So they are WRONG on this point, yes?
i didn’t know either
I bought the EOS R and a used 6D. best of both worlds
Today there are so many cool cameras that it’s really hard to choose! 🤔
Sony A7 III :)
and still not one of the manufacturers has managed to bring out a perfect one
@@murderer5060 Well, there is no ideal, but if you look at the price-quality ratio, then the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and Z-CAM E2 CAMERA are quite decent cameras.
All I want is the perfect camera, all I want is the perfect camera...
@@elaystudios7188 not if i also wanna do photography tho...
That's the video I needed!! THANK YOU!!
great video, it's so cool the competition, i have a canon 5d Mark IV
5D mark V and EOS R mark II coming soon guys 🙂 both at the same time like 90D and M6 II
Parker Walbeck i believe 1.Q 2020
@@fulltimefilmmaker The EOS R and 5D Mark IV are price dropping hard on Canon's website, so I think the new ones are real close...
The 5d Mk4 does not record video to both cards at the same time it only offers that for stills. It records video to the card selected for playback.
Easy to tell with the crop
Awesome vid, Parker! Love to see your team is growing! Best of luck! 💪
Parker's sister is Black?
Explains a lot 🤔🔥
I mean we all remember his handles🏀
Great video!! But aome points I would have added as well
On the Mark iv
-OVF (better for photos)
-motion jpeg (heavy color grading)
-joystick (easier camera navigation)
-ergonomics (it’s a 1dx with the battery grip...very comfortable)
this is a about video so pooint 1 invalid, point 2 sucks it has all i. and ipb mp4 which is very convenient and looks good, touch skill kills a youtsick in menus, eos r is lighter , feels good, and has a flip screen which is awesome. WRONG!!!!!
Thx for this video, guys, very complete... except one point that for me is missing: what about the audio? Are the pre-amps of the EOS-R exactly the same than the 5D? Different? If you have an answer to this, I will appreciate a lot...
Good review. I agree the EOS R is a better film camera. 5D4 is better for stills if speed is what you need, but I use 17MP anyways, so I'm not sure how that effects the buffer/fps. Impressed with the performance of the EOS R.
I'm a photographer first, but quick question... Great vid... Don't video guys need dual cards as well?
Really love your tutorial as beginning
Awesome! This is what i'm waiting for!
Exactly the comparison I was looking for !!
Watched from start to finish (something I rarely do for reviews nowadays) straight up information. Exactly what I wanted. I been thinking about upgrading my sl2 to the eos r. We will see at the end of the year. Subbed great video
Have been waiting to hear Parkers opinion on this!
Not sure how you guys got such a big difference in dynamic range between the 2 cameras. Processing maybe? Testing has shown they have roughly the same DR.
Good timing! Thanks for reinforcing my decision. I'm getting an upgrade to my 6d mark ii and go for R over R6
EOS R5 will be sick hopefully
What about a video explaining how you edit, what external hard drive to use while editing how to connected, how to use it, what other hard drive just for backing up for files or how? How you edit with proxies and export the video to its original size? That would be a cool video....
Wow great review! Thanks! 👍
I had the BMPCC6K in the cart and a close sales contact knew my needs and really suggested I look at the EOS R + Ninja V combo, as I need really fast turn-around. It beats out all of my cameras for video, and can hold its own with stills against my 5DSR (because of the manual focus aides). Love it. I do not however expect 1 camera to serve every purpose. My company does have just a few cameras (Pano GH5s, Canon 5DSR, Canon 90D, Sony PXW-Z150). I'd still pick the EOS R if I could only keep one though. It's too strong in so many areas. It's the image that counts, not the specs to me.
Parker can you do a video talking about the 1dx mark iii and your thoughts on it? Going to pick it up or wait for the EOS R Pro?
Love the EOS R
A point not mentioned is that if you also use a Canon cine camera (or aspire to one), the output of the EOS R can be set to be identical to that of the cine cameras.
I currently have the 6d Mark II and that flip screen is a must for me. Trying to get the low angles this is very helpful. Look's like I will be upgrading to the a EOS R lol
Same thing! Retiring my 6d ii and go for R over R6
I have both bodies and like them both respectively. However, I don't like the R's top mount LCD where its dark and the text is light. I'd prefer the way the 5D top LCD screen is with light background and dark text. Maybe there is a setting on the R to change that? Got me.
Nice comparation. What do you think is the best way to go in comparation with these 3 cams? eos R, Fuji XT4, 5dm4 and 7iii? In therms of photo and video combo in one body cam? I like stills from 5dmark4 the most including colors ooc. But it therms of video I prefer cinematic look (like bmpcc or gh5) thank you very much
Thanks Parker! 🙏❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Great video! Thank you. It's a bit more money but now understand that the EOS R has everything I need. Thanks guy! )))
It would be great to see a comparison between all canon cine cameras. Your videos are extremly helpfull!
Like your style guys! How about comparing the Fujifilm X-T3 and the ESO-R
A big deal for me as a set photographer is that silent shooting mode on the EOS R, which is why I'm about to buy one since they're on sale.
Is it totally silent when shooting with the EOS R like the smartphones?
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA It has a silent shooting mode where it makes zero sound. That’s important shooting stills on a movie set or during lectures that I sometimes photograph.
Technically, 10 bits is 4 times the amount of information in 8 bit. Not twice.
That's four times PER CHANNEL, which means 10bit will describe 4x4x4=64 times more colors than 8bit. That's 1 billion colors vs 16 million.
@@ssneg whoa 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Suggestion for video: best NON-CINEMA lenses to use with EOS R for video: for example, EF 85mm f/1.4 IS, RF 35mm f/1.8, etc?
How about the best Sony mirrorless for video?
Can you also make a comparison between Mirrorless & Full-frame EOS R and DSLR & Crop-Sensor EOS 90D? Which one is better for a beginner Photographer and Film Maker?
Perfect timing on the video comparison. Keep up the great work.
great comparison but i am so excited for the pro version of the Eos R!!
The 5DSR replacement will probably come out way before it (which will go directly in my cart)...
If you are just starting out and don't have a lot of money. What camera would you recommend for video for vlogging?
go watch some camera conspiracies videos and you'll find the answer
@@Musicaadorecchio Thank you!
I see my old stomping grounds in that video! You are making me miss the LBC!
thanks for this video, was really curious about this comparison
as a (serious) Amateur, i think iso performance will be much more important than pixel resolution with our current camera tech, like how many people actually need to print giant posters out of their own photos? but how many people need to take photo during dim light or in the night?
Thanks for sharing and as always - Great video! -- Keep up the awesome work folks!
