Been visiting the website for decades, didn’t know papa Ken had a RUclips channel. Wonderful review, refreshing that he starts with pictures and then focuses on stuff that actually matters - ergonomics and personal reflections on features when in-use. I have similar experiences with my R5, very happy with it!
I am so glad to find you on RUclips, Ken. I vividly remember how I was directed to your review website, by my mentors, when I started my photography journey a little over decade ago. Since then every gear purchase has had to mandatorily go through your views before I emptied my wallet. Incidentally, now when I am struggling to make the purchase decision on R5, I bumped into your channel here - pleasantly surprised 😊! Thank you for your excellent review, as always!!
Thanks! See the full review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm my R6 is on its way; should be about the same for less money www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r6.htm
I've been reading your reviews for twenty years - first time I've seen one of your videos. I appreciate your take. I've watched a wide array of R5 videos over the past couple weeks, and your review is distinct and helpful.
I like and have followed Ken for years, but he must be getting paid for by Canon, as he is outright lying and completely distorting everything he can think of related to the R5, and literally making things up about the new SONY. I have a 5DSR, a 1DXII and two C300M2’s. However, probably because Canon started the mirrorless race 4 years later than SONY and is now very obviously afraid to have the R5 take market share away from their videography cameras, they have aborted several critical features and competely botched others. No secure redundant dual cards, even though it has two slots. That alone makes it too risky to use when there are plenty of better options that do provide that. Pretty much all pro options for the past several years. A hard stop 30 minute recording limit, with a 2-3 hour “recover time” during which it is a brick- I mean come on... 8K+ is mostly used for long form interview on journalism, but this camera will not give you much more than 10 minutes (if you are lucky) after setup. It’s stills are great, but again, no secure, redundant storage. For anyone who has ever lost a shot due to SD failure (over 50% of photogs, and 70% of working pro’s) that is just asking for failure. Meanwhile he lied about everything he could think about related to the A7S3, which all over the Web by people who were loaned the camera, as well as people they then loaned it to, both SONY users and haters are calling it the best video camera ever produced- pretty much at any price. Like I said, he must be getting paid or gear from Canon...
Sandra Muncelli Hi Sandra, nope; Canon doesn’t send me anything. I just love their stuff. Remember that I’m an artist making work to hang on gallery walls. I’ve never used anything Canon for video as you are. I spent ten years in Hollywood; if I’m shooting a motion picture, I’m renting Panavison or Arri. Thanks!
@@sandramuncelli7976 I'm not sure that your argument is made more persuasive by questioning the character and scruples of Mr. Rockwell. Nor does it convince me that you like him. Certainly, if I want a commercial videographers take of the R5, I would have watched (and in fact have watched) someone other than Mr. Rockwell, who I primarily know as a knowledgable stills photographer from his extensive work done over the decades on his website. If you'd like to read more, you can find him at the following link. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm
@@dwm_hc - You are so correct! But then again, Ken Rockwell is one of the more despised people in the industry by photographers, stores and educators alike, so I am in good company for sure! anotherangle.eu/posts/why-ken-rockwell-is-bad-for-photography/
Another lovely video by Ken Rockwell. Apart from looking at the fantastic images that cameras produce these days, I also love looking Ken’s many pictures of the state of California because I live in Yorkshire, an ancient historical and beautiful county in ancient England in Europe which is an often rather cold country. We have a maritime climate here although just recently it’s been extremely hot and for many months. However, the Californian climate would suit me perfectly. The Spanish styled architecture is truly stunning. I love those deep blue skies, the hills, the desert, the tall palm trees, first planted by Spanish Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries in 1769. Thank you, Ken for the review. Like I’ve said before I’m coming to California at some point! Maybe I should change my camera for my visit? I remember you saying that Fuji cameras seem to be stuck on permanent portrait mode, so I need something a little bit different. Before anyone jumps down my throat, I know this is a video about the Canon EOS R5 and not a Fuji camera. I was just having a ramble...
I remember when your website was bright yellow back in 2000, I bought and SB28 (still have it) on your recommendation for my old N90s(which you did not like the camera that much but got it cheap, and still have it). In 2002 I bought a D100 (still have it) after I seen your review and got me started into digital photography.. What I always liked about you is your ability to handle nay-sayer and harsh critics with a positive friendly attitude and you still do it that today. Good job over the years. Your video was great on the R5. I put my order in for one. 20 years later I am still listening to the advise of Ken Rockwell.
Hi Ken, Your online reviews have helped me immensely over the years to decide on which Canon gear was best suited to my needs. First time I’ve seen you on with the vloggers, but not filming yourself in 8k 😂.
Excellent review. I don't buy anything without reading your review and opinion first for the last 10+ years. You are the best in objectivity and common sense. I'm a Nikon guy since 1979 and buy gear regularly. Thank you!
Also glad to see you on the Tube! Been following your website for years as you have really helped me to be a better armature photographer and make good decisions on my gear! I got the R5 in my hands on day one of release and have fallen in love with its capabilities despite what you see/hear on the overheating during video recording. However, I don't shoot video, so don't care. So glad to see your review on your new R5, but would really like to see a video on how you setup your camera and how you like your settings. Possible?
See www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#usage and see my other guides RP etc). I set all my cameras the same; I just don’t always spend as much time writing use guides. Thanks!
Transitioned from full frame analog to APS-C digital SLR, I read your blog so I could choose which lens suit my needs. That was 9 years ago. Some people love to bashing you, I always love your reviews, yiyrs are better than DPR Camera Review's actually, your photos are always top notch.
Thanks! I don’t know that anyone bashed me; I speak from genuine experience and talent (ahem) so casual shooters often have misconceptions and disagree with the way full time career pros shoot. remember DPR has never been written by shooters; their founder was a computer programmer who sold it to amazon years ago, and today at best its writers are young hobbyists - not experienced career artists or full time pros by any stretch of the imagination. They’re thorough, but lack the experience to know what’s really important and often follow the same misleading trends as other hobbyists. Thanks!!!
Then why are most of your actors or high profile people midgets. America's f*d in as many ways as it might be superior to SOME countries. Australia is a much better country and we don't all have 20 guns up our sleeves at all times. 'Big' heads and tourist attractions might be what you're referring to so have fun with that once you're shitty present starts a war with every country on earth. I don't think there will be an America sometime in the near future. Just a crater. Also you're very biased to Canon, Sony is superior for video.
One Texan told me some years ago it tooks him 2 days to drive around his land by car. My answer: yep once had a car that slow too. Could you imagine his face??
Thanks Ken , I have been waiting for a "Photography" review of this camera . I will probably pick up a second hand one when they bring out the mkiii version . I should have worn out my DSLRs by then .
Thanks! But when the EOS R5 Mark II comes out, you’ll want that too. May as well get the R5 now so you can enjoy it and make great pictures with it for the next three years rather than waiting to get one used then. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV but since buying my last beautiful hunk of "L" glass , I am running out of body parts to sell . Being a small time restaurateur in the age of 'rona is not the most lucrative of vocations 🤣😅😥
Great review. As a long time Pro Canon user, it's great to see Canon do mirrorless right. Ergonomics, menu system, practical things like a curtain to cover sensor during lens changes, drop in filter adapters etc. Maybe time to update the 1dx2 and 5d4 to an R6 and R5 until the R1 comes out.
Excellent review as always, Ken! Based on your review of the Z7 ("World's Highest Technical Image Quality") and the Nikkor S lenses, I decided to go with the Nikon Z7 System. I especially look forward to the combination of the Z7 and the ultra-sharp NIkkor S 50 f/1.8 (at f/8) for my product photography! Thanks again, and Be Safe!
@@KenRockwellTV Thank YOU, Ken! I shall read Every Nikkor and Nikkor S lens review from you, prior to getting any other lenses down the road. I look forward to seeing not only their image quality, but also their build quality as well. My only slight concern with the Z7's build quality, is that I read of instances of disintegrating rubber around the grip on some models. I was told by Nikon that, if one gets a more recent model of the Z7, that it won't occur. So, evidently Nikon was aware of it, and made a fix in newer models.
Great work Ken! Love your no BS reviews. You’ve been so helpful to me over the years. I’ll be sure to use your purchase links. The least I could do to reciprocate 🙏😊
The change in the on/off switch from what they used on the original EOS R looks like a very welcome improvement, the grippy knurling on all the knobs just never felt good to the touch. It was like rubbing my fingers over a rasp!
As as always your vast knowledge is appreciated. your reviews are real, uncomplicated & unbiased. A lession to those youtubers and their foolishness. Thanks always Ken.
Hi Ken, thanks for the great video! functional question for you. Can you see the view finder and top LCD from all angles with polarized sunglasses on? I ran into this issue with my RP where I can't see the back LCD in portrait mode with polarized sunglasses. Thanks again!
Beats me! EVF is an OLED so it’s not polarized so that ought to be fine. Otherwise I don’t have any sunglasses with which to try. Good news is get yours from any of the places I do www.kenrockwell.com/links.htm#stores and you can just return it for a full cash refund if you don’t LOVE it. Thanks!
Hi Ken. Super informative review, thanks. Two questions to you, please. When I shoot in mechanical shutter mode, 1)does the sensor using same AF area like in mirrorless mode? 2) Is the performance of AF in mechanical mode is same or different than in mirrorless mode? From what I know, the AF areas( in these two modes) and alogorithms of AF should be different. And does the R6 AF performace and and IQ at highers ISO's , is same or better than 1Dx ii?( for shooting sports). Deciding between R6 and 1Dx ii for sports. Thank you
Hi! I don’t see that the af is any different between shutters. AF only works when the shutter is open, shutter type only matters when the picture is captured; AF is done the same way for each. 2,) my R6 isn’t here yet. We’ll see. The R5 seems pretty awesome tracking action and R6 should be the same. Thanks!
"Dollar-for-dollar, the Sony A7 III is the world's best full-frame mirrorless camera ever created" "The Sony A7R III is the best mirrorless camera ever introduced for consumer photography" "If you demand the highest possible resolution in a mirrorless camera, this is it. The A7R IV can't be beat for technical image quality" Your comments Ken. So fickle
Exactly. I wrote that in the previous decade in 2018, when that was true. Today in 2020 the Canon EOS RP is better for half the price. Things change and I change with them. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV I got the RP and sent it back first week. Felt so so cheap. A7iii is way better. It's not even close. Come on you gotta be kidding. Lmao. I agree that the R5 is an awesome camera. No doubt whatsoever. But your modus operandi is sing high praises about a camera and then blast it not long after. Wow you just lost all credibility with me after the RP comment. I shot the RP with both RF 24 105s. It takes great pics but in no way shape or form is it anywhere near the A7iii. You took some magnificent pics with the top Sony cameras. It looks just like the ones you got with the R5.
@@KenRockwellTV AND when the A7 iv and A7 R5 comes out it'l be the next "best ever" and then you'll slam the R5. And then then when the R5ii comes out Yada yada.
@@KenRockwellTV So true. From my perspective the photos you got from the D850 are some of the best photos you have ever presented on your website. Guys like you can produce magic from any camera. But wow your D850 photos are breathtaking. No need for a $3800 overheating camera with overpriced lenses.
That's not panning: that's live RealAudio 3D 360º spatial recording, accurately recording me moving back and fourth! 3D Audio, not mono. Thanks for noticing!
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks for your reply! I'm not sure what the benefit that did for this video. We don’t see you moving around and the sound, for me was moving left to right - it did not sound like it was moving from front to rear. I have a set of studio monitors. Is there some sort of setting I needed to set? and/or additional speakers? or speaker placement adjusted? No offense, just trying to understand, but I also noticed someone else on FB link your video, saying it was good but also didn’t like the audio.
Hi Ken. I'm a fan of your reviews and almost always read those. I've gone through your recent review of March 2020 on Nikon D780 and was convinced that DSLRs still have a lot to give. Now, you're full of praises of an MILC Canon EOS R5 which is justified. However, could I have your opinion whether going mirrorless is a necessity especially for enthusiasts like me when great DSLRs like the above mentioned Nikon or Canon EOS 1Dx Mark III are around! Thank you in advance.
Not at all necessary. It’s just the trend and the future, but if you’re happy, no need whatsoever to spend money. See also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/upgrades.htm Thanks!
Ken, does the R5's EVF update more quickly than the EOS R's? The latter displays the last recorded image long enough to be problematic when shooting sequences of a moving subject. Last October I was taking trackside sequences of the approaching Big Boy 4014 and this EVF discontinuity made precise framing while zooming a real challenge. In that regard the EVF was inferior to a DSLR's continuous real time display. If the R5 is a solid step forward in EVF performance I will upgrade!
@@KenRockwellTV Since the R5 depleted my budget, I decided to hold off on the Canon 85 mm RF. On a lark I picked up a used copy of the Samyang 85mm F1.4 on eBay for $500. After its firmware update, it is a truly remarkable lens for the money.
Opinions are a dime a dozen on social media but Ken Rockwell always has qualified opinions with a clear rationale behind them. It is always a pleasure to watch his reviews. Great one!
Hi Ken, thanks for this review of this awesome camera! It is much appreciated as your articles in the internet. I’m curious about the R6 with its 20 megapixel sensor and thus high ISO capability! I oftentimes find myself in situations where high ISO is needed. I’m happy with my Nikon Z6, also a great camera. With the Fringer adapter I can use my Canon EF lenses. Best wishes from nearby Stuttgart, Germany
Hi! See my definitive sample high ISO image files at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#highisos and www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r6.htm#highisos and www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/mirrorless/z6.htm#highisos where you can compare the same scene at every ISO with each camera. R5 is the best, others about the same as each other. Thanks!
Hi Ken, enjoyed the review!! If money is not an issue would you recommend R5 or Canon 1DX Mk3 for an amateur sports photographer? (Main reason for consideration : cannot capture indoor basketball events with Nikon D750 or Canon 6D Mk2.. always too blurry or too grainy)
That’s a tough one. The 1DX III, as an SLR, makes a load of noise and the finder gets all wishy washy since the mirror is spending as much time moving as actually showing you the finder imahe. I’d try the R5 or R6 first; they do it much more elegantly. Thanks!
Any thoughts on R6 over R5 if like you ultra high quality (eg 8k) video isn’t really a big need? Is the 20 megapixels on the R6 enough? Idea being to wait a year or so (after they fix overheating issues) to go all in.
How does the electronic view finder compare to a canon DSLR? I have a small Panasonic mirrorless and its view finder is small and rubbish compared to my canon DSLR. Hence I only use the back LCD screen of the Panasonic when taking pictures.
Hi Ken, what is your opinion of adapters? ..the RF lenses look great but not too happy about spending that much on new glass when I have a great EF collection already.. main reason I still use my trusty 5DSR and am in no rush to go mirrorless.
Canons adapters work GREAT! No need to buy new lenses unles you want to. Seewww.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/ef-adapters.htm much better than Nikon, whose adapter works poorly
Nice review. thanks a lot. Ordered mine some time ago. It will be a long wait. I did not quite understand the high ISO test. I mean usually you shoot raw and take out noise in Lightroom. You can retain details by using the masking feature. You shot JPG's and used "in camera" noise reduction???
yes read his site. only bothers with jpegs. it's almost the same if at all any different and spending hours with softwaare is a personal choice. with cameras this good at what point do you say, life's too short?
I only shoot JPG. Raw seems only to be a thing with people who don’t shoot full time or make 100% of their income from the sale of images. When your shoot raw then most of what you’re seeing is your software and not the camera’s own performance. Thanks! kenrockwell.com/tech/raw.htm
@@KenRockwellTV lol I will not go into a discussion. Ot would be old news. Looking forward to the r5 though. Can hardly see the focus point of my 5Div. (Glaucona)
this is truly the pinnacle of all camera's out there, sense the Nikon D850. this camera rules both in Still Photography and Video, you can actually get video clips in 8K crazy, and at 4k you can record in high frame rates, this camera is the BEST Camera so far out there today i agree, yes it's $5,000.00 but well worth the extra money.
Hi Ken, does the R5 produce more noise with post shadow recovery than the A7riv? Pretty much everything about the R5 seems superior, but I'm not familiar with canon sensors. I do plan on doing large print and am wondering how much resolution I would lose and if there is noticeably more recovery noise with the R5. thx. That battery life is disappointing. Reality is most people chimp their images rather frequently on a digital camera. 2-300 images is a little over an hour of shooting before you have to swap batteries, and more batteries translates to more weight in the backpack.
As always, the definitive answers lie in my written review and sample files and never at RUclips. See the samples from both cameras at www.kenrockwell.com/sony/a7r-iv.htm#perf and www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#highisos and you can see for yourself. I worry less about shadow details than the colors in the important parts, and for that, Canon looks way better - but we all have our preferences. For the most glowing shadows, use iso 50 on either of these. Thanks!
I'm watching your video well. I'm a high amateur preparing for a commercial photographer. I'm going to take pictures of portrates and products. I don't think I'm gonna take a quick picture. I'd like to ask your opinion because I have to buy a camera. Assuming the budget doesn't matter, I'm thinking about which one to choose between Fuji's gfx100 / R5. I'm going to take pictures instead of videos. I'd appreciate it if you could leave a reply!
Canon EOS R5. Much better as I see it. Better handling, better images (better color). If you want to make money at this when you say ‘pro,’ then spend as little as you can on gear until you actually start making money. Personally I’d stick with my favorite 5DS/R which is on dale on close out for $1,499 USD at www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1119027-REG/canon_0582c002_eos_5ds_r_dslr.html?BI=287&KBID=1037
I've had mine on order for just about 3 weeks now and still can't get anything as a time for delivery it still just says processing. How long did it take to get yours and where did you buy from
I got mine at B&H at www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1547009-REG/canon_eos_r5_mirrorless_digital.html?BI=287&KBID=1037 see also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-get-it.htm thanks!
Excelent review Ken. But I think I will stick with my old DSLR just little bit longer. Sure, it always nice to have the latest and greatest such as canon R5, but I always remember what you said: It's not about your camera 😊
Mine just arrived. I’m going to open it line here in a little while. Should be the same as R5 minus voice recorder and with better controls (I prefer dedicated mode dial. Thanks!
Keep in mind Ken, the IBIS feature is huge for videographers. If you can throw your f1.0 50mm on and get "usable" video clips, that is a game changer. So many Canon lenses that would be amazing for video, if only they had some IBIS behind them.
Awesome review glad u focus on the stills part of this camera while everyone else mostly ran on about its video failures. Canon marketed this camera wrong. Wished it didn't have those high 8k an 4k features! All it's needed was at best 4k 60 and most deff 1080p at 120 fps with no record limit, minus the cfast card slot and kept it dual sd slot an they wud of hit a home run! Keep up the awesome camera reviews!
Thank you Ken. My biggest problem has been that my Canon never seems to match the sharpness of the Nikon D850&D500 or the Sony A9. Sharpness is so critical for nature and wildlife. Will the R5 give me the sharpness that my canon DSLRs are failing to give me?
Yes, I’ve reviewed every one in great detail at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/index.htm (actually I’m waiting for my the dual fisheye, while all the rest are covered in explicit detail). Thanks!
hey Ken' tjanks for this great video! do you shoot sony as well? im trying to decide if i shuold go with sony now or with canon... so hard to make up my mind about it, mainly becuse sony has so many good lens optins that are afordable and canon just dosent yet... what do you think?
I should them all. I’d forget Sony now that we have Nikon and Canon. It’s not 2013 when all we had was Sony; the canons are much better if you actually shoot. See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/nikon-vs-canon-vs-sony-full-frame.htm for details Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV thank you ken! so now i only have to decide which canon body to buy, right? :) so which one should i buy? 5 or 6? i do want the ibis and 2 card slots, thats why its these two only for now i guess...
@@KenRockwellTV just that damn price. Im so not interested in video, I wish there was a R2 and a half with all the video stuff crippled (just basic video) and say 2/3 the price.
You have been buying cameras since 1970. How old are you? The review amazing. I am also playing with R5 these days and it's a never before equipment for sure.
You forgot to mention: it has built in HDR function (takes 3 shots and combines them in 1 JPEG), it has built in timelapse of 1080P, 4K and 8K!, it has normal timelapse function as well, it has built in Exposure bracketing.. and it has focus stacking but it doesn't create it in-camera because you can take up to 999 pictures in a stack! The best hybrid mirrorless workhorse of a camera ever made
Thousands for sports shots. Expect 320 if you stop and fiddle and play back each one and change settings, or thousands if you just shoot and don’t look back and futz. . See the battery life section of my formal written review. My written reviews are always the reference; not enough time on RUclips to cover all the details. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#powerbattery
Excellent review, but if watching with headphones the stereo image of the voice over is rather distracting. Consider mono for voice over recording and/or processing.
What is Ken's favourite song after he came to RUclips ? - Rockwell's Somebody's watching me ;) Ken's reviews on his website was/is the go to site for me to know everything about a camera, now I am happier to hear what he says. Thanks Ken.
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks Ken. I watched your R5 review on youtube. I was fascinated to see the images. The exhaustive review that I mentioned in my earlier comment was regarding the RF-70-200. Waiting to see your clicks with that lens. :) I will be reading your R5 review witten on your website too. Thanks again :)
2013, when the 5D Mk III was so much more awesome than anything else, and Nikon was still churning out the same camera every year, just with a different model number. Canon read and listened to my reviews where I listed what was wrong with the earlier models and corrected it in newer models, while Nikon is still making the same dumb mistakes a decade later. Also Canon is still high quality (Made in Japan), while Nikon gave up and just out-sources almost everything to China. I'm not paying top dollar for offshores. THANKS!
Are these things true about the R5? Sounds amazing. Stopped using Canon for a lot of my shooting for a few reasons. But I will have to look into this new mirrorless camera, sounds incredible!
@@KenRockwellTV - No question. Just thanking you for putting me in the direction of the R5. I don't watch and trust a lot of YT's as you said, many with conflicts of interest. Found an R5 in stock after 20 minutes of deep searching and it will be here on Friday! Looking way forward to it! Had no idea that Sony was old news and old tech as you said. Thanks for setting me straight on that. I had thought about that new low light Sony because I do a lot of video each week. But I never liked those other deep menus and 8K will be great so I don't have to setup multiple interview cams! I had budgeted quite a bit more $$$, but I already have Canon glass, so the R5 is perfect based on everything you explained and its specifications. And saving a lot of money over the 8K I had considered.
Of course! Problem is all the new stuff from Canon. My R6 and 100-500 are on their way - and then there are the lesser brands like Nikon and Sony and Fuji about which people expect me to write. Thanks!
Hello Sir, happy Sunday!, I have question I want to move from Nikon to canon and I have a few good lenses like 105mm 1.4e, there is any adapter Nikon f to canon r that provide decent auto focus while I can sell my Nikon lenses ?
Not that I know if. The problem is Nikon has so many incompatible focus systems that even their own FTZ won’t work with many of the lenses still sold new today - one of the many big reasons to upgrade to Canon and sell your 105 while there are still some Nikon shooters left.
@@KenRockwellTV thanks 🙏 I just posted online hopefully it goes fast I sold my Nikon dslr I sold today my z6 I was hopping for a adapter but better not hold any longer
Ken Rockwell thanks, maybe you can fast forward through their similarities (af, ibis, burst speed,...) and only focus on the difference (how is 20mp compared to 45, is there any low light high iso difference,...). Just a suggestion. Thank you!
Amazing review, I only buy my gear after I read your review about them. As I think you provide an honest practical review. Thank you. I wonder if you can make a review on the EOS R6 as well?
@@KenRockwellTV great lenses, can't wait to see your review. Would appreciate if you take a look at my modest channel of drone vedios, that I do in UAE.
Hey sir can you show us some of the medium resolution (22MP format on full frame) samples, and I world personally would love to know how Canon R5 performs in low-light situations in that format and if possible please do a video on Sony A7Riii in that medium MP format (18MP) sir.. ☺️
Yes, but not much. Canon 5DS/R has a tiny bit more resolution. 1DX III is tougher than any of the other cameras and runs faster with flash 14 vs 12 FPS.
I read your online reviews many times, but didn't know you have a youtube channel. Another cool review. Yup, the R5 is so popular that tons of people are still waiting for their pre-orders to arrive. This is an awesome camera for stills. Video is also great except for time restriction due to overheating.
I'd love to see Canon drop another body with a pixel count of 26 or 30mp exclusively focussing on photocentric features. R5 has everything, but 8k is kinda overkill and many photographers don' need that. (IMO) R6 is an awesome option, but for those who need that additional/extra pixel, a body with 30mp, top LCD (Culling the top LCD in R6 is a crime :( -- Personally I would feel handicapped), illuminated buttons, better weather sealing, etc., will be something awesome. With that, photographers will have an option to choose between R5 and R6 and priced accordingly to be the "best universal camera" (As Ken mentioned in his 5DMk4 review). I believe Ken's feedback will be given priority by Canon :)
Congratulations from Brazil! I am an amateur photographer and I wish to switch to Canon Mirroless, although I am a Nikon DX user, but Nikon closed its own technical assistance here a few years ago. If customer service in the US is poor, imagine it here. I have a Nikon D7000 with a sticky grip after 7 years of use and I was suggested to send the camera to New York, USA. Will Mr. Rockwell review a new EOS-M camera or just when Canon launches an EOS-M with equivalent performance to Canon 7D Mark II? EOS-M cameras are more accessible in this country and Canon offers technical assistance here.
@@KenRockwellTV You are welcome! I read your excellent review, but I look forward to a mirrorless that has a higher speed, because sometimes I take pictures of birds or sports. In Brazil, cameras cost 2 to 3 times more than in USA. So I hope the price of the R6 will drop next year, either a new faster version of the RP or wait for an EOS-M as fast as a R6... Is it possible? Thanks!
Thank you! I like to go fast and get it over; look for the gear or settings icon in your player and set playback speed to 0.75 or 0.5x. Cool, huh? Thanks!
Thanks for the great review. It seems you like the RF 24-240 a lot. Just bought my Canon RP and the only set fast available was the one with this superzoom. When I bought it, I wasn't sure until it arrived 2 days later. The only caveat I found was the slow aperture at the long end, but its still better than the RF 24-105/4-7.1! And am really happy you love this superzoom as much as I do. Of course, the RP isn't as good as the R5, but as amateur I can't afford this beast. Thanks for your great work (not just this video)
Ken Rockwell thanks for you comment. Just saw how good the autofocus works on the R5 and the tracking! There must be some reasons why it’s 2.000 USD more expensive. But I just upgraded from my Nikon D90, after I tried taking sunsets and saw that 95% of the shots were out of focus as camera searched between close flower, bushes, far away trees and sun at virtually infinity. So understood it‘s a 14 year old technology against a 1 year old technology.
one of the annoyances with the r5 (besides the inflated price and overheating) is that it needs to be customized much more heavily than a dslr to be enjoyable to use. If the body was alittle bigger it would allow an improved button layout. im still puzzled by the lack of a mechanical mode dial, no other camera company has removed it on their high end cameras. the electronic mode dial is a PITA to press - its just as bad as the touchbar imo. also BBAF feels a bit awkward due to the recessed feel of the AF on button, the info, Q and zoom buttons are a bit small and cramped (make sure you trim your fingernails before shooting). There are too many buttons on the right side of the camera, it just doesn't "feel" right to me. The camera will definitely produce great results but I can't help but feel the usability has been compromised. It feels more like an expensive consumer level camera than a professional tool like the 5d4. Canon seems to be prioritizing aesthetics and compactness over function and usability, and somebody there is making really bad design decisions. Its seems like the team that designed the pro DSLR bodies (5d4, 1dx3) had zero input for the RF bodies. The extending zoom mechanism of the rf 70-200 2.8 is too cumbersome for shooting sports. I'm curious to see the body design of the R1, the rumoured professional level body. if they get that right it would give me hope that things could change in the future bodies.
Love your reviews on your website and now youtube, but I noticed that you have stopped with the ratings at the start, I like the pros and cons you put there now, but I think you should bring the old system back too.
Do you mean the star system I used 15 years ago? As gear has gotten so much better, it’s all so good those don’t make as much sense as listing good and bad. Since we all have different wants, listing good and bad lets us figure out how good they are - for us. Technically everything today is nearly perfect - but ergonomically most cameras still need a lot of improvement. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV Thank you for the answer. I can see your point I like the new system too, I may add, but the ones where you gave a score from 1-5 I liked too. I also want to commend your reviews, they are more technical than many others and you illustrate with pictures and graphs instead of plain text. Your reviews are insightful because you talk about your experiences with the gear not so much the specs and marketing nonsense. Your Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM review made me buy the lens and I want to thank you for that too. Cheers!
The high ISO capabilities of this camera are so amazing. Even more important your wake-up call how the ever improving noise reduction *is* taking away image information and in a way fooling our eyes.
Hey Ken, lots of respect for your knowledge of systems old and new. Two years ago I moved from Canon to Sony and as much as I love seeing what Canon is doing that little detail of dynamic range is a huge reason I'm happier with how sony works. Not to get into a contest but I'm genuinely curious how the Canon sensors work versus Sony's design. With my A7R3 I can set my camera to ISO 640 and just raise my exposure in post. When I was using canon I found myself constantly taking multiple exposures then combining them later in lightroom for an HDR but of course for moving subjects or even wind that practice is less than ideal. Another thing, I lived within 10 miles of a Canon service center (Jamesburg NJ)... even with that I wasn't thrilled with the service, I had some very expensive lens repairs that could have been something minor but there was no looking at the lens, it was all new motors, etc without any recourse, I once spent more to fix a used lens that I later sold it for only months later. I actually had better service with Sony recently in regards to in warranty repairs. Still an interesting camera, I do hope Canon at some point increase dynamic range to be on par with others.
same here. I use to have canon M3 small apsc mirorles for travel video cam,, then I realize my samsung phone have smaller sensor but better dynamic range video
See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/dynamic-range.htm I’ve never had a problem; my canon images look much better than from Sony due to the better color - but we all have our preferences.
@@KenRockwellTV I'd never say I had a "problem" with any system, I've been doing photography since the days I had a darkroom, i also read the basic photo 5 by Ansel Adams (before they condensed it into 3 books). I"ve pushed and pulled film, shot Kodachrome 25, 64 and other slide films with very narrow dynamic range. Indeed, knowing your medium is key and of course you can be creative and get fantastic photos with all sorts of gear, some scenes surely do not require more dynamic range. WIth all this said I never see a camera having more DR to be an issue, later in post I can crush the shadows or clip the highlights with a simple slider and add all that i want back. There's a lot of situations where I have to take the light I'm given and I do not have the opportunity to change or add light to improve it and in those scenarios the A7R3 has been a fantastic camera. Much of what I enjoy shooting are live performances that have often very high contrast stage lighting, oftentimes some of the performers are not lit favorably. Coming from using Canon cameras it was one thing I REALLY noticed was much better (for me). Other things about the Sony I didn't care for, god awful LCD screen, terrible feel in the hand without adding a grip, disappointing AF especially in video. The menus which everyone seems to hate have never been an issue. I'd love to shoot an R5 or have another photographer with one present at the same event with the same conditions and compare the output side by side. I also realize this review is for photography not videography but it's a nice bonus being able to shoot literally 2 hours of continuous 4K video without issues short of restating it every 30 minutes. Again, I'm pretty confident in my skills as a photographer, I even do sunny 16 calcs in my head to this day having shot so many cameras with broken light meters it's 2nd nature. I'll have to look at more comparisons but from everything I've experienced and seen in the past DR is one thing the Canon has been behind on compared to other brands and for some of us that's a very big deal.
Yes its true, an iphone has very good film quality. BTW i had canon, started with this brand, then i went to sony for a long while, and now im back to canon with the R5. I cannot help it but the colors out of camera are still the best. Now i will stay with canon.
Been visiting the website for decades, didn’t know papa Ken had a RUclips channel. Wonderful review, refreshing that he starts with pictures and then focuses on stuff that actually matters - ergonomics and personal reflections on features when in-use. I have similar experiences with my R5, very happy with it!
Yip. Thanks!!!!!!!!
shonen84 I agree,Ken’s style is pure gold in my opinion, I and so many other got so much priceless info from him over the years. God bless you, Ken
Ditto! Fab website and now a fab RUclips channel. What a great range of picture examples. A moon shot thrown in as well - truly awesome!
same here. Ken is THE man.
I am so glad to find you on RUclips, Ken. I vividly remember how I was directed to your review website, by my mentors, when I started my photography journey a little over decade ago. Since then every gear purchase has had to mandatorily go through your views before I emptied my wallet. Incidentally, now when I am struggling to make the purchase decision on R5, I bumped into your channel here - pleasantly surprised 😊! Thank you for your excellent review, as always!!
Thanks! See the full review at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm my R6 is on its way; should be about the same for less money www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r6.htm
I've been reading your reviews for twenty years - first time I've seen one of your videos. I appreciate your take. I've watched a wide array of R5 videos over the past couple weeks, and your review is distinct and helpful.
Thanks Douglas!
I like and have followed Ken for years, but he must be getting paid for by Canon, as he is outright lying and completely distorting everything he can think of related to the R5, and literally making things up about the new SONY. I have a 5DSR, a 1DXII and two C300M2’s. However, probably because Canon started the mirrorless race 4 years later than SONY and is now very obviously afraid to have the R5 take market share away from their videography cameras, they have aborted several critical features and competely botched others. No secure redundant dual cards, even though it has two slots. That alone makes it too risky to use when there are plenty of better options that do provide that. Pretty much all pro options for the past several years. A hard stop 30 minute recording limit, with a 2-3 hour “recover time” during which it is a brick- I mean come on... 8K+ is mostly used for long form interview on journalism, but this camera will not give you much more than 10 minutes (if you are lucky) after setup. It’s stills are great, but again, no secure, redundant storage. For anyone who has ever lost a shot due to SD failure (over 50% of photogs, and 70% of working pro’s) that is just asking for failure.
Meanwhile he lied about everything he could think about related to the A7S3, which all over the Web by people who were loaned the camera, as well as people they then loaned it to, both SONY users and haters are calling it the best video camera ever produced- pretty much at any price.
Like I said, he must be getting paid or gear from Canon...
Sandra Muncelli Hi Sandra, nope; Canon doesn’t send me anything. I just love their stuff. Remember that I’m an artist making work to hang on gallery walls. I’ve never used anything Canon for video as you are. I spent ten years in Hollywood; if I’m shooting a motion picture, I’m renting Panavison or Arri. Thanks!
@@sandramuncelli7976 I'm not sure that your argument is made more persuasive by questioning the character and scruples of Mr. Rockwell. Nor does it convince me that you like him.
Certainly, if I want a commercial videographers take of the R5, I would have watched (and in fact have watched) someone other than Mr. Rockwell, who I primarily know as a knowledgable stills photographer from his extensive work done over the decades on his website. If you'd like to read more, you can find him at the following link.
www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm
@@dwm_hc - You are so correct! But then again, Ken Rockwell is one of the more despised people in the industry by photographers, stores and educators alike, so I am in good company for sure! anotherangle.eu/posts/why-ken-rockwell-is-bad-for-photography/
Another lovely video by Ken Rockwell. Apart from looking at the fantastic images that cameras produce these days, I also love looking Ken’s many pictures of the state of California because I live in Yorkshire, an ancient historical and beautiful county in ancient England in Europe which is an often rather cold country. We have a maritime climate here although just recently it’s been extremely hot and for many months. However, the Californian climate would suit me perfectly. The Spanish styled architecture is truly stunning. I love those deep blue skies, the hills, the desert, the tall palm trees, first planted by Spanish Franciscan and Jesuit missionaries in 1769. Thank you, Ken for the review. Like I’ve said before I’m coming to California at some point! Maybe I should change my camera for my visit? I remember you saying that Fuji cameras seem to be stuck on permanent portrait mode, so I need something a little bit different. Before anyone jumps down my throat, I know this is a video about the Canon EOS R5 and not a Fuji camera. I was just having a ramble...
THANKS!!!!
I have been reading your reviews forever, absolute OG. Can't believe you have a RUclips channel.
Thanks!!! My kids made me do it.
I remember when your website was bright yellow back in 2000, I bought and SB28 (still have it) on your recommendation for my old N90s(which you did not like the camera that much but got it cheap, and still have it). In 2002 I bought a D100 (still have it) after I seen your review and got me started into digital photography.. What I always liked about you is your ability to handle nay-sayer and harsh critics with a positive friendly attitude and you still do it that today. Good job over the years. Your video was great on the R5. I put my order in for one. 20 years later I am still listening to the advise of Ken Rockwell.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I remember the yellow pages; there are still some of them lurking on my site that I see every once in a long while, ha ha.
Hi Ken, Your online reviews have helped me immensely over the years to decide on which Canon gear was best suited to my needs.
First time I’ve seen you on with the vloggers, but not filming yourself in 8k 😂.
Even if I wasted time with 8k, how would you see it in 8k? Only 3% of views on RUclips actually see my 4k content in 4K. Thanks!
I am happy to see you on RUclips. Loved all your article from blog
Thank you!!!
So glad I found you on youtube!!!! Your reviews are off the charts!!!
Thanks!!!!
Fan of your reviews. Instantly subscribed as soon as i saw your channel. Thanks for the clear and crisp reviews.
Thank you!
Brilliant review of a brilliant Canon camera.
Thanks! Love this thing.
Excellent review. I don't buy anything without reading your review and opinion first for the last 10+ years. You are the best in objectivity and common sense. I'm a Nikon guy since 1979 and buy gear regularly. Thank you!
Thank YOU for reading it all! You guys make it all worthwhile. I love my Nikons, but these Canons are even better, at least to me lately. THANKS!!
Also glad to see you on the Tube! Been following your website for years as you have really helped me to be a better armature photographer and make good decisions on my gear!
I got the R5 in my hands on day one of release and have fallen in love with its capabilities despite what you see/hear on the overheating during video recording. However, I don't shoot video, so don't care.
So glad to see your review on your new R5, but would really like to see a video on how you setup your camera and how you like your settings. Possible?
See www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#usage and see my other guides RP etc). I set all my cameras the same; I just don’t always spend as much time writing use guides. Thanks!
Thanks for this review, looks like a great camera.
Thank you!
Love your straight-talking, no-BS reviews of cameras Ken - very refreshing compared to the multitude of other VLOGarazzi reviewers on RUclips!
Thanks Dean!!!!!!!
Transitioned from full frame analog to APS-C digital SLR, I read your blog so I could choose which lens suit my needs. That was 9 years ago.
Some people love to bashing you, I always love your reviews, yiyrs are better than DPR Camera Review's actually, your photos are always top notch.
Thanks! I don’t know that anyone bashed me; I speak from genuine experience and talent (ahem) so casual shooters often have misconceptions and disagree with the way full time career pros shoot. remember DPR has never been written by shooters; their founder was a computer programmer who sold it to amazon years ago, and today at best its writers are young hobbyists - not experienced career artists or full time pros by any stretch of the imagination. They’re thorough, but lack the experience to know what’s really important and often follow the same misleading trends as other hobbyists. Thanks!!!
Thank thank you for a great review.
As primarily a photographer, I appreciate hearing a review from a stills perspective.
That’s what this is. If I shot video, I’d look at a Panavison or Arri rental for the project - or a real video camera. Thanks!
Amazing review! Thanks! I am in love with R5! Best camera ever created
That’s right! Thanks!
“big american hands” 😂 Everything is big out there... cars, wives, even the kids are big!
Johnny Bravo damn right
As we say, Go big or go home. Thanks!
Then why are most of your actors or high profile people midgets. America's f*d in as many ways as it might be superior to SOME countries. Australia is a much better country and we don't all have 20 guns up our sleeves at all times. 'Big' heads and tourist attractions might be what you're referring to so have fun with that once you're shitty present starts a war with every country on earth. I don't think there will be an America sometime in the near future. Just a crater. Also you're very biased to Canon, Sony is superior for video.
One Texan told me some years ago it tooks him 2 days to drive around his land by car. My answer: yep once had a car that slow too. Could you imagine his face??
@@steffenrosmus1864 haha savage
Thanks Ken , I have been waiting for a "Photography" review of this camera . I will probably pick up a second hand one when they bring out the mkiii version . I should have worn out my DSLRs by then .
Thanks! But when the EOS R5 Mark II comes out, you’ll want that too. May as well get the R5 now so you can enjoy it and make great pictures with it for the next three years rather than waiting to get one used then. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV but since buying my last beautiful hunk of "L" glass , I am running out of body parts to sell . Being a small time restaurateur in the age of 'rona is not the most lucrative of vocations 🤣😅😥
Moon blur!!! Awesome
Es Verdad - truth! Typical with telescopes like this. Thanks.
Absolutely legit, raw, sincere, insightful and helpful review.
Thank you!
That moon shot is incredible
And easy with this camera. Thanks!
I saw many reviewsat the time of release an d now in 2022jan yours give most answer's to my questions great job
Thanks!
Thank you Ken been a fan for year. Very refreshing to see you start with photos and not videos like a lot of the Sony fan boys.
Great review
I use my iPhone for video, which is better than these cameras. THANKS!
Thank you!
been watching ur website for over a decade. and now i discover u have youtube. FINALLY
My kids made me. Thanks!
Great review. As a long time Pro Canon user, it's great to see Canon do mirrorless right. Ergonomics, menu system, practical things like a curtain to cover sensor during lens changes, drop in filter adapters etc. Maybe time to update the 1dx2 and 5d4 to an R6 and R5 until the R1 comes out.
Thanks!
Subscribing... brilliant no rubbish review. Love the delivery. Thank you!
Thank YOU!!!! I spend a lot of time keeping it short and to the point. THANKS!
Awesome Review Bro 🤗🤗🤗. I have been reading your reviews since 2009 . I have seen your kids grow 🙂 Lovely kids 🤗
THANKS!!! You should see their first day of school pix up at my site's NEWS page today.
Great review… I’ve had my R5 for 5 months and I learned a lot from your vid. Enthusiastic subscriber! Thanks
Great camera, eh? Thanks!
Excellent review as always, Ken! Based on your review of the Z7 ("World's Highest Technical Image Quality") and the Nikkor S lenses, I decided to go with the Nikon Z7 System. I especially look forward to the combination of the Z7 and the ultra-sharp NIkkor S 50 f/1.8 (at f/8) for my product photography! Thanks again, and Be Safe!
Thank YOU!!!
@@KenRockwellTV Thank YOU, Ken! I shall read Every Nikkor and Nikkor S lens review from you, prior to getting any other lenses down the road. I look forward to seeing not only their image quality, but also their build quality as well. My only slight concern with the Z7's build quality, is that I read of instances of disintegrating rubber around the grip on some models. I was told by Nikon that, if one gets a more recent model of the Z7, that it won't occur. So, evidently Nikon was aware of it, and made a fix in newer models.
Great work Ken! Love your no BS reviews. You’ve been so helpful to me over the years. I’ll be sure to use your purchase links. The least I could do to reciprocate 🙏😊
Thank you!!!!! This is why I do this.
Wow Ken terrific review! Thanks and have a coffee!😉
Looks like 24-240 is great for traveling. I’ll order it. Waiting for the camera.
24-240 is great: see my quick samples at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/24-240mm.htm thanks!
Ken Rockwell I will, once I receive my R5. Thank you.
The change in the on/off switch from what they used on the original EOS R looks like a very welcome improvement, the grippy knurling on all the knobs just never felt good to the touch. It was like rubbing my fingers over a rasp!
That’s right! Thanks!
As as always your vast knowledge is appreciated. your reviews are real, uncomplicated & unbiased. A lession to those youtubers and their foolishness.
Thanks always Ken.
Thanks! I just say it like it is. I don’t watch RUclips - except for Jay Leno’s garage.
Hi Ken, thanks for the great video! functional question for you. Can you see the view finder and top LCD from all angles with polarized sunglasses on? I ran into this issue with my RP where I can't see the back LCD in portrait mode with polarized sunglasses. Thanks again!
Beats me! EVF is an OLED so it’s not polarized so that ought to be fine. Otherwise I don’t have any sunglasses with which to try. Good news is get yours from any of the places I do www.kenrockwell.com/links.htm#stores and you can just return it for a full cash refund if you don’t LOVE it. Thanks!
Great review.
Thanks!
Thank you for another excellent review!
Thank you!!!!!!!
Excellent review!
THANKS!!!
Hi Ken. Super informative review, thanks. Two questions to you, please.
When I shoot in mechanical shutter mode, 1)does the sensor using same AF area like in mirrorless mode? 2) Is the performance of AF in mechanical mode is same or different than in mirrorless mode?
From what I know, the AF areas( in these two modes) and alogorithms of AF should be different.
And does the R6 AF performace and and IQ at highers ISO's , is same or better than 1Dx ii?( for shooting sports). Deciding between R6 and 1Dx ii for sports.
Thank you
Hi! I don’t see that the af is any different between shutters. AF only works when the shutter is open, shutter type only matters when the picture is captured; AF is done the same way for each. 2,) my R6 isn’t here yet. We’ll see. The R5 seems pretty awesome tracking action and R6 should be the same. Thanks!
"Dollar-for-dollar, the Sony A7 III is the world's best full-frame mirrorless camera ever created"
"The Sony A7R III is the best mirrorless camera ever introduced for consumer photography"
"If you demand the highest possible resolution in a mirrorless camera, this is it. The A7R IV can't be beat for technical image quality"
Your comments Ken. So fickle
Exactly. I wrote that in the previous decade in 2018, when that was true. Today in 2020 the Canon EOS RP is better for half the price. Things change and I change with them. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV I got the RP and sent it back first week. Felt so so cheap. A7iii is way better. It's not even close. Come on you gotta be kidding. Lmao. I agree that the R5 is an awesome camera. No doubt whatsoever. But your modus operandi is sing high praises about a camera and then blast it not long after. Wow you just lost all credibility with me after the RP comment. I shot the RP with both RF 24 105s. It takes great pics but in no way shape or form is it anywhere near the A7iii. You took some magnificent pics with the top Sony cameras. It looks just like the ones you got with the R5.
@@KenRockwellTV AND when the A7 iv and A7 R5 comes out it'l be the next "best ever" and then you'll slam the R5. And then then when the R5ii comes out Yada yada.
As I keep saying, the camera doesn’t matter. I make the same pictures regardless www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm
@@KenRockwellTV So true. From my perspective the photos you got from the D850 are some of the best photos you have ever presented on your website. Guys like you can produce magic from any camera. But wow your D850 photos are breathtaking. No need for a $3800 overheating camera with overpriced lenses.
AWESOME Camera Review!! btw, what happened with the audio panning?
That's not panning: that's live RealAudio 3D 360º spatial recording, accurately recording me moving back and fourth! 3D Audio, not mono. Thanks for noticing!
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks for your reply! I'm not sure what the benefit that did for this video. We don’t see you moving around and the sound, for me was moving left to right - it did not sound like it was moving from front to rear. I have a set of studio monitors. Is there some sort of setting I needed to set? and/or additional speakers? or speaker placement adjusted? No offense, just trying to understand, but I also noticed someone else on FB link your video, saying it was good but also didn’t like the audio.
Hi Ken. I'm a fan of your reviews and almost always read those. I've gone through your recent review of March 2020 on Nikon D780 and was convinced that DSLRs still have a lot to give. Now, you're full of praises of an MILC Canon EOS R5 which is justified. However, could I have your opinion whether going mirrorless is a necessity especially for enthusiasts like me when great DSLRs like the above mentioned Nikon or Canon EOS 1Dx Mark III are around! Thank you in advance.
Not at all necessary. It’s just the trend and the future, but if you’re happy, no need whatsoever to spend money. See also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/upgrades.htm Thanks!
Ken, does the R5's EVF update more quickly than the EOS R's? The latter displays the last recorded image long enough to be problematic when shooting sequences of a moving subject. Last October I was taking trackside sequences of the approaching Big Boy 4014 and this EVF discontinuity made precise framing while zooming a real challenge. In that regard the EVF was inferior to a DSLR's continuous real time display. If the R5 is a solid step forward in EVF performance I will upgrade!
Yes. The R5 and R6 finders update much faster. Thanks!
I went for the R5, Love it!
Me too, glad you love yours.
@@KenRockwellTV Since the R5 depleted my budget, I decided to hold off on the Canon 85 mm RF. On a lark I picked up a used copy of the Samyang 85mm F1.4 on eBay for $500. After its firmware update, it is a truly remarkable lens for the money.
Seems like every review/video is more of someones face and them blabbing than honest thoughts and actual images. Very refreshing review thank you!!!
Thanks for noticing, I put a lot of effort into getting straight to the point.
Opinions are a dime a dozen on social media but Ken Rockwell always has qualified opinions with a clear rationale behind them. It is always a pleasure to watch his reviews. Great one!
Thank you!
Hi Ken, thanks for this review of this awesome camera! It is much appreciated as your articles in the internet. I’m curious about the R6 with its 20 megapixel sensor and thus high ISO capability! I oftentimes find myself in situations where high ISO is needed. I’m happy with my Nikon Z6, also a great camera. With the Fringer adapter I can use my Canon EF lenses. Best wishes from nearby Stuttgart, Germany
Hi! See my definitive sample high ISO image files at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#highisos and www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r6.htm#highisos and www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/mirrorless/z6.htm#highisos where you can compare the same scene at every ISO with each camera. R5 is the best, others about the same as each other. Thanks!
one thing i noticed (at least on r6) is when u shut the camera off it closes the aperture down, i assume to help protect the shutter from sunlight?
Aha! That’s exactly why. Thanks!
Hi Ken, enjoyed the review!! If money is not an issue would you recommend R5 or Canon 1DX Mk3 for an amateur sports photographer? (Main reason for consideration : cannot capture indoor basketball events with Nikon D750 or Canon 6D Mk2.. always too blurry or too grainy)
That’s a tough one. The 1DX III, as an SLR, makes a load of noise and the finder gets all wishy washy since the mirror is spending as much time moving as actually showing you the finder imahe. I’d try the R5 or R6 first; they do it much more elegantly. Thanks!
Any thoughts on R6 over R5 if like you ultra high quality (eg 8k) video isn’t really a big need? Is the 20 megapixels on the R6 enough? Idea being to wait a year or so (after they fix overheating issues) to go all in.
8k video? Who cares - how do you see it? Even 10 MPs more than enough, see www.kenrockwell.com/tech/pixel-dumping.htm thanks!
Ken! once again an excellent review. have you retested with the latest firmware 1.6? ty
No; I expect cameras to work properly as shipped and don’t waste much time maintaining software unless something really important gets added. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV ok ty
How does the electronic view finder compare to a canon DSLR? I have a small Panasonic mirrorless and its view finder is small and rubbish compared to my canon DSLR. Hence I only use the back LCD screen of the Panasonic when taking pictures.
Ooooh, the finder is awesome! You see how the picture is going to look - BEFORE you take it! Always bright and sharp, even with slow lenses.
Hi Ken, what is your opinion of adapters? ..the RF lenses look great but not too happy about spending that much on new glass when I have a great EF collection already.. main reason I still use my trusty 5DSR and am in no rush to go mirrorless.
Canons adapters work GREAT! No need to buy new lenses unles you want to. Seewww.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/ef-adapters.htm much better than Nikon, whose adapter works poorly
Thank you for the reply; I appreciate it. Keep up the great work!
Nice review. thanks a lot. Ordered mine some time ago. It will be a long wait. I did not quite understand the high ISO test. I mean usually you shoot raw and take out noise in Lightroom. You can retain details by using the masking feature. You shot JPG's and used "in camera" noise reduction???
yes read his site. only bothers with jpegs. it's almost the same if at all any different and spending hours with softwaare is a personal choice. with cameras this good at what point do you say, life's too short?
I only shoot JPG. Raw seems only to be a thing with people who don’t shoot full time or make 100% of their income from the sale of images. When your shoot raw then most of what you’re seeing is your software and not the camera’s own performance. Thanks! kenrockwell.com/tech/raw.htm
@@KenRockwellTV lol I will not go into a discussion. Ot would be old news. Looking forward to the r5 though. Can hardly see the focus point of my 5Div. (Glaucona)
this is truly the pinnacle of all camera's out there, sense the Nikon D850. this camera rules both in Still Photography and Video, you can actually get video clips in 8K crazy, and at 4k you can record in high frame rates, this camera is the BEST Camera so far out there today i agree, yes it's $5,000.00 but well worth the extra money.
Bingo! Thanks!
Hi Ken, does the R5 produce more noise with post shadow recovery than the A7riv? Pretty much everything about the R5 seems superior, but I'm not familiar with canon sensors. I do plan on doing large print and am wondering how much resolution I would lose and if there is noticeably more recovery noise with the R5. thx.
That battery life is disappointing. Reality is most people chimp their images rather frequently on a digital camera. 2-300 images is a little over an hour of shooting before you have to swap batteries, and more batteries translates to more weight in the backpack.
As always, the definitive answers lie in my written review and sample files and never at RUclips. See the samples from both cameras at www.kenrockwell.com/sony/a7r-iv.htm#perf and www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#highisos and you can see for yourself. I worry less about shadow details than the colors in the important parts, and for that, Canon looks way better - but we all have our preferences. For the most glowing shadows, use iso 50 on either of these. Thanks!
I'm watching your video well.
I'm a high amateur preparing for a commercial photographer.
I'm going to take pictures of portrates and products.
I don't think I'm gonna take a quick picture.
I'd like to ask your opinion because I have to buy a camera.
Assuming the budget doesn't matter,
I'm thinking about which one to choose between Fuji's gfx100 / R5.
I'm going to take pictures instead of videos.
I'd appreciate it if you could leave a reply!
Canon EOS R5. Much better as I see it. Better handling, better images (better color). If you want to make money at this when you say ‘pro,’ then spend as little as you can on gear until you actually start making money. Personally I’d stick with my favorite 5DS/R which is on dale on close out for $1,499 USD at www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1119027-REG/canon_0582c002_eos_5ds_r_dslr.html?BI=287&KBID=1037
I've had mine on order for just about 3 weeks now and still can't get anything as a time for delivery it still just says processing. How long did it take to get yours and where did you buy from
I got mine at B&H at www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1547009-REG/canon_eos_r5_mirrorless_digital.html?BI=287&KBID=1037 see also www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-get-it.htm thanks!
Excelent review Ken. But I think I will stick with my old DSLR just little bit longer. Sure, it always nice to have the latest and greatest such as canon R5, but I always remember what you said: It's not about your camera 😊
Exactly! Thanks!
Hi. So what would spend your own money on Nikon or canon Murrow less systems
I spend it much more on canon. Hope that’s obvious. See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/nikon-vs-canon-vs-sony-full-frame.htm
I'm looking at the canon R6 as the r5 is out of my price range, I'm looking forward to hear your review and thoughts on that.
Mine just arrived. I’m going to open it line here in a little while. Should be the same as R5 minus voice recorder and with better controls (I prefer dedicated mode dial. Thanks!
Sony will respone ! With a Superior Camera that won't catch fire lol
Keep in mind Ken, the IBIS feature is huge for videographers. If you can throw your f1.0 50mm on and get "usable" video clips, that is a game changer. So many Canon lenses that would be amazing for video, if only they had some IBIS behind them.
Haven’t tried it for video. Never found anything great stabilizes better than an iPhone for video. Thanks!
Awesome review glad u focus on the stills part of this camera while everyone else mostly ran on about its video failures. Canon marketed this camera wrong. Wished it didn't have those high 8k an 4k features! All it's needed was at best 4k 60 and most deff 1080p at 120 fps with no record limit, minus the cfast card slot and kept it dual sd slot an they wud of hit a home run! Keep up the awesome camera reviews!
If I was shooting video, I’d get a video camera. This camera, like all 24x36mm format cameras, is for stills. Thanks!
Thank you Ken. My biggest problem has been that my Canon never seems to match the sharpness of the Nikon D850&D500 or the Sony A9.
Sharpness is so critical for nature and wildlife. Will the R5 give me the sharpness that my canon DSLRs are failing to give me?
You need to set sharpening higher. They’re all as sharp if you set them right. I set my JPG sharpening to the maximum (7,5,5) on my R5.
Ken Rockwell You shoot jpeg and not RAW?
Ken, Will the Canon 580EX2 flash work on the R5?
Mine works great!!!
Are you going to review the RF prime lenses?
Yes, I’ve reviewed every one in great detail at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/lenses/index.htm (actually I’m waiting for my the dual fisheye, while all the rest are covered in explicit detail). Thanks!
hey Ken' tjanks for this great video! do you shoot sony as well? im trying to decide if i shuold go with sony now or with canon... so hard to make up my mind about it, mainly becuse sony has so many good lens optins that are afordable and canon just dosent yet... what do you think?
I should them all. I’d forget Sony now that we have Nikon and Canon. It’s not 2013 when all we had was Sony; the canons are much better if you actually shoot. See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/comparisons/nikon-vs-canon-vs-sony-full-frame.htm for details Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV thank you ken! so now i only have to decide which canon body to buy, right? :) so which one should i buy? 5 or 6? i do want the ibis and 2 card slots, thats why its these two only for now i guess...
In the olden days we had to settle for A9 A911... Wow he's really blown away with the Canon.
That’s right! So happy the big dogs back in town (Canon). Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV just that damn price. Im so not interested in video, I wish there was a R2 and a half with all the video stuff crippled (just basic video) and say 2/3 the price.
You have been buying cameras since 1970. How old are you? The review amazing. I am also playing with R5 these days and it's a never before equipment for sure.
Bought my first SLR used at age 11 in 1973. My parents bought or loaned me cameras well before I saved up to get my own. Thanks!
You forgot to mention: it has built in HDR function (takes 3 shots and combines them in 1 JPEG), it has built in timelapse of 1080P, 4K and 8K!, it has normal timelapse function as well, it has built in Exposure bracketing.. and it has focus stacking but it doesn't create it in-camera because you can take up to 999 pictures in a stack!
The best hybrid mirrorless workhorse of a camera ever made
Yes; all that’s fairly common today. Just trying to stick to what’s special and unique in the interest of time. Thanks!
Excellent review. Thanks.
Thank YOU!!! Full written review & sample files at www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm
I want to know about a battery. Based on battery spec R5 only 320 shots, how many shots do you?
Thousands for sports shots. Expect 320 if you stop and fiddle and play back each one and change settings, or thousands if you just shoot and don’t look back and futz. . See the battery life section of my formal written review. My written reviews are always the reference; not enough time on RUclips to cover all the details. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm#powerbattery
Excellent review, but if watching with headphones the stereo image of the voice over is rather distracting. Consider mono for voice over recording and/or processing.
I tried it, but I love real stereo. It's moving because I'm moving; it's not tape dropout. THANKS!
Agreed. Ken, if we can't see you moving on screen, then what's the point?
What is Ken's favourite song after he came to RUclips ? - Rockwell's Somebody's watching me ;) Ken's reviews on his website was/is the go to site for me to know everything about a camera, now I am happier to hear what he says. Thanks Ken.
Thanks love my song!!!!
@@KenRockwellTV Happy to see your reply. Keep rocking. I can't wait to see your exhaustive review with sample images shot with your lens.
@@tonygreenmike Here you go! www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r5.htm
@@KenRockwellTV Thanks Ken. I watched your R5 review on youtube. I was fascinated to see the images. The exhaustive review that I mentioned in my earlier comment was regarding the RF-70-200. Waiting to see your clicks with that lens. :) I will be reading your R5 review witten on your website too. Thanks again :)
Hi Ken
When did you loose interest in Nikon and shift your enthusiasm to Canon?
Great review and presentation
Regards
2013, when the 5D Mk III was so much more awesome than anything else, and Nikon was still churning out the same camera every year, just with a different model number. Canon read and listened to my reviews where I listed what was wrong with the earlier models and corrected it in newer models, while Nikon is still making the same dumb mistakes a decade later. Also Canon is still high quality (Made in Japan), while Nikon gave up and just out-sources almost everything to China. I'm not paying top dollar for offshores. THANKS!
I canceled my Z7 ii preorder and got the R5. I love Nikon but the Z7 ii didn’t get me excited like the R5.
Exactly. I so hate the Z system, but talk about it because everyone wants to know. Thanks!
Are these things true about the R5? Sounds amazing. Stopped using Canon for a lot of my shooting for a few reasons. But I will have to look into this new mirrorless camera, sounds incredible!
Everything I said I saw. Not sure what your question is. I so love this thing. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV - No question. Just thanking you for putting me in the direction of the R5. I don't watch and trust a lot of YT's as you said, many with conflicts of interest. Found an R5 in stock after 20 minutes of deep searching and it will be here on Friday! Looking way forward to it! Had no idea that Sony was old news and old tech as you said. Thanks for setting me straight on that. I had thought about that new low light Sony because I do a lot of video each week. But I never liked those other deep menus and 8K will be great so I don't have to setup multiple interview cams! I had budgeted quite a bit more $$$, but I already have Canon glass, so the R5 is perfect based on everything you explained and its specifications. And saving a lot of money over the 8K I had considered.
Mr. Rockwell, are you still interested in reviewing more Canon FD cameras and lenses?
Of course! Problem is all the new stuff from Canon. My R6 and 100-500 are on their way - and then there are the lesser brands like Nikon and Sony and Fuji about which people expect me to write. Thanks!
Hello Sir, happy Sunday!, I have question I want to move from Nikon to canon and I have a few good lenses like 105mm 1.4e, there is any adapter Nikon f to canon r that provide decent auto focus while I can sell my Nikon lenses ?
Not that I know if. The problem is Nikon has so many incompatible focus systems that even their own FTZ won’t work with many of the lenses still sold new today - one of the many big reasons to upgrade to Canon and sell your 105 while there are still some Nikon shooters left.
@@KenRockwellTV thanks 🙏 I just posted online hopefully it goes fast I sold my Nikon dslr I sold today my z6 I was hopping for a adapter but better not hold any longer
So this does animal Eye AF with birds fine? I notice the small Sony’s don’t work with birds.
Sure! That roadrunner was running all over the place. Thanks!
Really well done review! Please please please do the R6 next? Thanks a lot!
As soon as I get my R6! I expect it’s 99% the same. Thanks!
Ken Rockwell thanks, maybe you can fast forward through their similarities (af, ibis, burst speed,...) and only focus on the difference (how is 20mp compared to 45, is there any low light high iso difference,...). Just a suggestion. Thank you!
Amazing review, I only buy my gear after I read your review about them. As I think you provide an honest practical review. Thank you.
I wonder if you can make a review on the EOS R6 as well?
As soon as my R6 shows up! Just got my RF 70-200/2.8 and 85/1.2L to review next week. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV great lenses, can't wait to see your review.
Would appreciate if you take a look at my modest channel of drone vedios, that I do in UAE.
@@oAwwAo I'd love to see the UAE from the air. Where's you channel? THANKS!
@@KenRockwellTV ruclips.net/user/oAwwAo
Would so much appreciate your opinion
Hey sir can you show us some of the medium resolution (22MP format on full frame) samples, and I world personally would love to know how Canon R5 performs in low-light situations in that format and if possible please do a video on Sony A7Riii in that medium MP format (18MP) sir.. ☺️
See sample files you can download at each cameras review at KenRockwell.com I have few samples at the lower megapixel settings however. Thanks!
Ken: you are the best reviewer👍👍
You’re awesome thanks!
great video!
Thanks!
Is there anything that the 1DX3 or 5DSR do better than the R5?
Yes, but not much. Canon 5DS/R has a tiny bit more resolution. 1DX III is tougher than any of the other cameras and runs faster with flash 14 vs 12 FPS.
I read your online reviews many times, but didn't know you have a youtube channel. Another cool review. Yup, the R5 is so popular that tons of people are still waiting for their pre-orders to arrive. This is an awesome camera for stills. Video is also great except for time restriction due to overheating.
Agreed. Thanks!
I'd love to see Canon drop another body with a pixel count of 26 or 30mp exclusively focussing on photocentric features. R5 has everything, but 8k is kinda overkill and many photographers don' need that. (IMO) R6 is an awesome option, but for those who need that additional/extra pixel, a body with 30mp, top LCD (Culling the top LCD in R6 is a crime :( -- Personally I would feel handicapped), illuminated buttons, better weather sealing, etc., will be something awesome. With that, photographers will have an option to choose between R5 and R6 and priced accordingly to be the "best universal camera" (As Ken mentioned in his 5DMk4 review). I believe Ken's feedback will be given priority by Canon :)
Congratulations from Brazil!
I am an amateur photographer and I wish to switch to Canon Mirroless, although I am a Nikon DX user, but Nikon closed its own technical assistance here a few years ago.
If customer service in the US is poor, imagine it here. I have a Nikon D7000 with a sticky grip after 7 years of use and I was suggested to send the camera to New York, USA.
Will Mr. Rockwell review a new EOS-M camera or just when Canon launches an EOS-M with equivalent performance to Canon 7D Mark II?
EOS-M cameras are more accessible in this country and Canon offers technical assistance here.
Thanks! Have you seen the Canon EOS RP? It’s very good. www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/rp.htm
@@KenRockwellTV You are welcome! I read your excellent review, but I look forward to a mirrorless that has a higher speed, because sometimes I take pictures of birds or sports. In Brazil, cameras cost 2 to 3 times more than in USA. So I hope the price of the R6 will drop next year, either a new faster version of the RP or wait for an EOS-M as fast as a R6... Is it possible? Thanks!
20:35 I wonder how it looks with noise reduction turned off
Beats me! Thanks!
I am your big fan at your web site. it's great to hear you on RUclips. However please speak slowly and clearly. I've already subscribed. Thanks 😊.
Thank you! I like to go fast and get it over; look for the gear or settings icon in your player and set playback speed to 0.75 or 0.5x. Cool, huh? Thanks!
Best review yet. Thank you.
You're the best. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks for the great review.
It seems you like the RF 24-240 a lot. Just bought my Canon RP and the only set fast available was the one with this superzoom. When I bought it, I wasn't sure until it arrived 2 days later. The only caveat I found was the slow aperture at the long end, but its still better than the RF 24-105/4-7.1!
And am really happy you love this superzoom as much as I do. Of course, the RP isn't as good as the R5, but as amateur I can't afford this beast.
Thanks for your great work (not just this video)
The RP is lighter and less expensive and takes the same pictures, just not as many per second. RP sounds better to me! Thanks!
Ken Rockwell thanks for you comment. Just saw how good the autofocus works on the R5 and the tracking! There must be some reasons why it’s 2.000 USD more expensive.
But I just upgraded from my Nikon D90, after I tried taking sunsets and saw that 95% of the shots were out of focus as camera searched between close flower, bushes, far away trees and sun at virtually infinity. So understood it‘s a 14 year old technology against a 1 year old technology.
one of the annoyances with the r5 (besides the inflated price and overheating) is that it needs to be customized much more heavily than a dslr to be enjoyable to use.
If the body was alittle bigger it would allow an improved button layout. im still puzzled by the lack of a mechanical mode dial, no other camera company has removed it on their high end cameras. the electronic mode dial is a PITA to press - its just as bad as the touchbar imo.
also BBAF feels a bit awkward due to the recessed feel of the AF on button, the info, Q and zoom buttons are a bit small and cramped (make sure you trim your fingernails before shooting). There are too many buttons on the right side of the camera, it just doesn't "feel" right to me. The camera will definitely produce great results but I can't help but feel the usability has been compromised. It feels more like an expensive consumer level camera than a professional tool like the 5d4.
Canon seems to be prioritizing aesthetics and compactness over function and usability, and somebody there is making really bad design decisions. Its seems like the team that designed the pro DSLR bodies (5d4, 1dx3) had zero input for the RF bodies. The extending zoom mechanism of the rf 70-200 2.8 is too cumbersome for shooting sports.
I'm curious to see the body design of the R1, the rumoured professional level body. if they get that right it would give me hope that things could change in the future bodies.
thanks!
Love your reviews on your website and now youtube, but I noticed that you have stopped with the ratings at the start, I like the pros and cons you put there now, but I think you should bring the old system back too.
Do you mean the star system I used 15 years ago? As gear has gotten so much better, it’s all so good those don’t make as much sense as listing good and bad. Since we all have different wants, listing good and bad lets us figure out how good they are - for us. Technically everything today is nearly perfect - but ergonomically most cameras still need a lot of improvement. Thanks!
@@KenRockwellTV Thank you for the answer. I can see your point I like the new system too, I may add, but the ones where you gave a score from 1-5 I liked too. I also want to commend your reviews, they are more technical than many others and you illustrate with pictures and graphs instead of plain text. Your reviews are insightful because you talk about your experiences with the gear not so much the specs and marketing nonsense. Your Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM review made me buy the lens and I want to thank you for that too. Cheers!
The high ISO capabilities of this camera are so amazing. Even more important your wake-up call how the ever improving noise reduction *is* taking away image information and in a way fooling our eyes.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hey Ken, lots of respect for your knowledge of systems old and new. Two years ago I moved from Canon to Sony and as much as I love seeing what Canon is doing that little detail of dynamic range is a huge reason I'm happier with how sony works. Not to get into a contest but I'm genuinely curious how the Canon sensors work versus Sony's design. With my A7R3 I can set my camera to ISO 640 and just raise my exposure in post. When I was using canon I found myself constantly taking multiple exposures then combining them later in lightroom for an HDR but of course for moving subjects or even wind that practice is less than ideal. Another thing, I lived within 10 miles of a Canon service center (Jamesburg NJ)... even with that I wasn't thrilled with the service, I had some very expensive lens repairs that could have been something minor but there was no looking at the lens, it was all new motors, etc without any recourse, I once spent more to fix a used lens that I later sold it for only months later. I actually had better service with Sony recently in regards to in warranty repairs. Still an interesting camera, I do hope Canon at some point increase dynamic range to be on par with others.
same here. I use to have canon M3 small apsc mirorles for travel video cam,, then I realize my samsung phone have smaller sensor but better dynamic range video
See www.kenrockwell.com/tech/dynamic-range.htm I’ve never had a problem; my canon images look much better than from Sony due to the better color - but we all have our preferences.
@@KenRockwellTV I'd never say I had a "problem" with any system, I've been doing photography since the days I had a darkroom, i also read the basic photo 5 by Ansel Adams (before they condensed it into 3 books). I"ve pushed and pulled film, shot Kodachrome 25, 64 and other slide films with very narrow dynamic range. Indeed, knowing your medium is key and of course you can be creative and get fantastic photos with all sorts of gear, some scenes surely do not require more dynamic range. WIth all this said I never see a camera having more DR to be an issue, later in post I can crush the shadows or clip the highlights with a simple slider and add all that i want back. There's a lot of situations where I have to take the light I'm given and I do not have the opportunity to change or add light to improve it and in those scenarios the A7R3 has been a fantastic camera. Much of what I enjoy shooting are live performances that have often very high contrast stage lighting, oftentimes some of the performers are not lit favorably. Coming from using Canon cameras it was one thing I REALLY noticed was much better (for me). Other things about the Sony I didn't care for, god awful LCD screen, terrible feel in the hand without adding a grip, disappointing AF especially in video. The menus which everyone seems to hate have never been an issue. I'd love to shoot an R5 or have another photographer with one present at the same event with the same conditions and compare the output side by side. I also realize this review is for photography not videography but it's a nice bonus being able to shoot literally 2 hours of continuous 4K video without issues short of restating it every 30 minutes. Again, I'm pretty confident in my skills as a photographer, I even do sunny 16 calcs in my head to this day having shot so many cameras with broken light meters it's 2nd nature. I'll have to look at more comparisons but from everything I've experienced and seen in the past DR is one thing the Canon has been behind on compared to other brands and for some of us that's a very big deal.
Yes its true, an iphone has very good film quality. BTW i had canon, started with this brand, then i went to sony for a long while, and now im back to canon with the R5. I cannot help it but the colors out of camera are still the best. Now i will stay with canon.
Me too! Thanks!
You're the only reviewer I've ever seen genuinely liking superzooms
He knows what he shoots. If versatility is the key to bring you good images, it will be good.
They seem to have improved a lot in this mirrorless generation.
They work great; just look at the pictures. It’s not 1987 any more; they work awesome today.
Zooms are better than ever in 2020. Soon it’ll be all you need
I really enjoy the energy in your voice! Reminds me of Vince from Shamwow 😂
Thanks! I dig this camera and I guess it comes out.
