Excellent comparison. You've quickly become one of my favorite speakers on RUclips about photography. Really informative, concise and impartial. Appreciate your work!
Thank you sir for such an awesome review! I recently used the Canon R5 for a wedding and the amount of sharpness is amazing, especially the eyes!!!! Thank you and I just subscribed!!!
@@ThePhotographerGuy Thank you very much for your feedback, but I've been searching for a week. My current equipment is Canon Mark 4 and I'm going to buy a new camera now. I'm researching between Canon R5 or Canon R6-II. I watched a lot of videos but I haven't decided what to buy yet. What would be your choice in this direction?
Thank you! Do you use RF lenses? A friend said the adapter won’t help/fix is the the sharpness of the ef glass, which is not designed to resolve past 20MP or so. with the r5 files when you zoom in 1:1 they will be very soft. only an issue if you crop/print the full size of the R5 sensor though, --I'm wondering-- do you know anything about this?
Hi Heather, I do mostly use RF glass and it's amazing. I have a bunch of videos on those lenses. I also have used a lot of EF glass on the GFX 100 II and find them to still resolve well. It's a lens by lens basis. The EF 35mm 1.4 II is amazing on the GFX and R5 and the 105mm f1.4 from sigma is also great. The OG 50mm 1.2 woud probably be a bit soft but a lot of folks still don't care because they care more about character. Every one is different.
Hi, friend! I sold my r6 because I didn't like it very much for photography, my previous camera was a 5d mark iii and it seems that it was sharper or I don't know if it was because of the megapixels, the fact is that now I have doubts about whether to buy the r5 but I just ended up to see this and download the files and I'm blown away! I don't know what to do. Do you think that the R5 is really worth it today?
Merci pour cette super vidéo comparatif, je voudrais avoir votre avis, sur un choix pour 2 boîtiers : 1-Canon r6 + r5 ou 2- deux boîtiers r6 ? je sais que beaucoup de Fotographe préfère avoir deux boîtier identiques plus pratique pour les réglages?
I printed some 3mp photos and most thought it was better than GFX100S as the details disappear on a 6 x4 trying to cram 4 football fields of detail into a tiny size. If you just show a cropped image of equal pixels it has to be the same size but what the difference on TV is 2mp still don't see all this comparison am I missing something here so sticking to my Samsung compact camera fixed zoom 30mm to 720mm with tripod can match at 720mm the details of a GFX100S when cropped to the same size
Thanks for sharing. Two great work horses im sure. Could you see yourself possibly using Fuji for your weddings? Im trying the XH2s and apart from some really low light churches im seeing good results especially with the prime lenses.
Interesting comparison and great informative video, thank you for your work. Many people claims that R5 noise performance is actually better than R6II after downsampling R5 to 24 mpx. Maybe that works for low resolution displays which can show just small part of image but when you print an all pixels are used - R6II image seems cleaner, interesting! What about similar test with R5 vs Fuji GFX? Best would be some landscape, portraits are not so demaning for details, sometimes less can look better.
Thanks. Ya. After printing the R6 ii really held up. if you download the images there are R6 II, R5, X-T5, and GFX 100s images in the same folder. You can compare them there.
I just found your channel and enjoy this comparison. I shoot mostly birding and landscaping and use the R7 and have now purchased the R8. Would it be worth trading and going with the R6 II?
Oh, nice. I haven't used those two cameras, but I do love the R6 II. The af is up there with the R3. I would probably just upgrade if you need a better AF system.
Yes. Totally worth it. It's helped me dial in my editing to help my clients get better results when they print. I use Ink Owl to refill my cartridges. The last round of ink that I bought was $200 and would have costed $1400 to buy the same amount from Canon. I just use it for personal use and gifts to my clients.
Thanks for answering!! You looks much more strict than myself!jjj If I ever print will be for myself and what scary me more than anything else, apart of the prices is the obsolescence of the software. I used to remember not long time ago when everybody had a print at home and they stopped working suddenly. @@ThePhotographerGuy
Thanks so much for this review- it’s so relevant for me right now as I consider which camera to buy. I do mostly low light portraiture (sunrise and sunset portraiture) AND have hopes to be able to print my images in a large format possibly to exhibit in the future. I’m wondering if you might have any idea how big the R6ii images could be blown up to? And I’m thinking this is still the best option for me with low light portraits. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much :)
Hey! There are probably a lot of variables from viewing distance to the quality of the image captured. That being said, I'm sure you can print pretty large, especially if you take advantage of the enhanced resolution in LR.
Thanks so much for the reply Ely. I think I’ve overwhelmed myself with reviews and am super confused 🤣 is the enhanced resolution in Lightroom applicable to the r5 images too? I wonder how that would compare as well. Thanks :))
@@nissstanley here is something to be considered. 50in 4k TV equals 8.3mp to be viewed from distance away. Apple Pro Display XDR 32in 6k monitor equals 18mp. You have to consider how far you are viewing. Like many have said, if you are asking these questions, 20mp is perfect enough. If you want R5, you will want a very sharp lens for full potential.
Thanks so much for creating this particular set of comparisons as I’ve been evaluating the R6ii vs the r5. In your video, you refer to the “enhance feature” on r6ii prints. Is this an in- camera feature or are you referring to software like Topaz or other similar options?
I use canon for my wedding photography. The R5 files are perfect but big. I think the R6ii is the perfect wedding photography camera. I also have a Fuji XH2S I sometimes use for weddings but the autofocus is so-so.

Thanks Brian. Really appreciate the encouragement, I'm still learning how to talk to a camera;)

Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Great Content for Doc/vlog content. Would you recommend the Canon r62, Canon r5 or Sony Fx3? I also like to take pictures.
Thanks. I'm a Canon guy for the most part. so I would recommend R5 and R62. I used Sony for a couple of years and it wasn't for me.
Should I choose R5 or R6 mark 2 for a wedding photographer?
They're both great for weddings. It depends on your budget. I recommend two of the same camera.

The R5 is an amazing camera but the R6 II just does a bit better job for me.

I prefer having the same. Either the R6 II or R5 are wonderful.

Interesting for sure.
@@ThePhotographerGuy can image what the GFX with a 720 zoom would be pretty clear as long as no wind shakes
Thanks for sharing. Two great work horses im sure. Could you see yourself possibly using Fuji for your weddings? Im trying the XH2s and apart from some really low light churches im seeing good results especially with the prime lenses.
You bet. I would definitely be happy using the new fuji cropped sensors for weddings.

Do you ever add grain to match the noise? Ive started doing this and I really dig the results.
I do usually add grain to all of my images. Just a little bit.
I just found your channel and enjoy this comparison. I shoot mostly birding and landscaping and use the R7 and have now purchased the R8. Would it be worth trading and going with the R6 II?
Oh, nice. I haven't used those two cameras, but I do love the R6 II. The af is up there with the R3. I would probably just upgrade if you need a better AF system.
Wouw, thats a nice one! Thanks. I'd love to see your print flow at home! Do you think it is really worth it?
Yes. Totally worth it. It's helped me dial in my editing to help my clients get better results when they print. I use Ink Owl to refill my cartridges.

If you right click on an image in LR you will see the "Enhance" feature. You can reduce noise or add resolution.
I hope that mid range models become 40 MP
100%
Danggg your bro is good looking!
Canon r6 m ii perfect
Suddenly hundreds and hundreds of homes will have blown up pictures of your brother… hanging on walls or by random grandma bedsides.
You can have one when you come to town😂
Thanks for doing this-I’d like to see some Fuji prints too!
@@ThePhotographerGuy I want to put one up in the rental home we are staying in. For it to forever remain.
hahaha!
you bet. It's been a test i've been working on a few months. I just put up the fuji version too.
r5 или r 6m2 в 2024 году?
r5 or r 6m2 in 2024? R6 MK II for autofocus and R5 for resolution. They're both amazing.
I use canon for my wedding photography. The R5 files are perfect but big. I think the R6ii is the perfect wedding photography camera.
I also have a Fuji XH2S I sometimes use for weddings but the autofocus is so-so.
Awesome. I do use cRAW for the R5. I haven't been able to tell a difference from Full RAW files and It reduces the size pretty well.
