Gordon, you absolutely crushed it. This is the most comprehensive R5 video on RUclips. Love that you keep coming back with updates as new firmware versions are released. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks!
Excellent video Gordon! Thank you for the great detail and information that you provide in all of your videos. Well done!
Thanks Gordon. Great video. Lots of work put into that vid, very much appreciated! I went ahead and purchased the R5 after long research time. It suits me perfectly. I either shoot short duration macro video (the 8K raw is absolutely killer for that), or stills for weddings and such. For me it's an absolutely game changer. Thanks for your fantastic video information along the way, as it really helped in making my final decision.
you're very welcome! It is brilliant so long as you know what it can and cannot do!
That dog knew he was being filmed 😂
Great review Gordon
I've been watching videos about the R5 for days, comparing it with the Sony A7siii ... and none have been as complete and objective as this one. It surprises me that I don't have any more "likes", it has everything I needed to hear, not only the good and much less only the bad and the emphasis on overheating that seems to be the only characteristic of this camera that I think has more good things how bad. The problem of overheating, for me that I live in the Caribbean could be a problem because heat is a problem all the time, but I think I can manage it if I can get my hands on an R5. Lots of work and knowledge put into a single youtube video, thank you very much for your time. Greetings from Cuba.
Excellent and very thorough testing. Thank you!
you're welcome!
Very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you Sir. I have the R5 and C70. I'm a fan of both. I don't have any issues turning off the camera between shots. If it had a log boot time I'd not be happy but I've got 3 seconds to spare... and the image is stellar.
This is probably the only and most detailed review of the Canon R5 you'll find on RUclips. I have been skeptical of upgrading to R5 ever since it launched, and after watching this video, I still don't regret my decision to wait until Canon fixes the only, but at the same time, most decisive issue (for me at least), since this ain't a cheap Camera. Thanks Gordon.
Main issue I have is the lack of dynamic range compared to the competitors (not covered at all really in this video). Seen several tests of CL3 and it doesn't really add anything here and competitors have comfortably over a stop more DR.
@@FantabMedia So, that's less than 10% difference in DR. Just to put that into perspective.
@@smaakjeks Hi mate. No it's over double the DR, not 10%. Each stop of DR is a doubling of values and it's closer to 2 stops less (4 times less) than some other cameras. It's a huge difference.
@@FantabMedia One stop translates to one doubling of light. However, it's not a logarithmic scale such that from 10 to 11 stops you double the information. I know I can't tell the difference between an 11 stop and a 14 stop camera in an average picture. Try a double-blind test and see if you can. Or do the same with video, since that's what we're talking about.
In a side-by-side, maybe you can tell the difference, but I'm talking assorted scenes.
Incredibly informative video! Thank you for having posted this. I have recently started filming birds and other wildlife for youtube with the Canon R5, and all of the details from this video are helpful in determining the best settings.
You're welcome!
Great video Gordon, well worth the wait. Absolutely amazing job!!
thanks!
one of the best comparison videos ive seen, really enjoyed the graph comparison tests
Thanks!
Gordon this is a terrific review. It must have taken you a huge amount of time to produce it. I love your calm, methodical and thorough style of presentation - brilliant!
Thanks, yes it took a looooong time!
Great video Gordon ! easily one the most in-depth review on youtube Thank you
thanks, it did take me a year to put together!
Wow, what a detailed and comprehensive review, and also excellent videography - thank you. You should create more how-to videos because most people are miles behind you in technical ability.
Thabks, yes, I hope to do a how to for video!
Excellent review Gordon as usual, keep them coming 👍
Thanks!
11:16 I grab still images from video all the time because of the R5. So glad you mentioned this feature in your video, I feel like no one is talking about it.
Thanks so much for this in-depth review!
you are very welcome!
My son went to go study there for one Summer; every time i see your images of the Brighton Palace Pier... brings a smile on top of your wonderful reviews.
Glad to bring back happy memories!
Loved the video quality tests! subscribed!
thankyou!
Great review! Key takeaways for me: amazing (best) lens / body stabilization and 8k resolution. Taking 'pictures' from 8k video seems indeed to make a lot of sense with this camera.
Well done on the extensive review. Thanks for putting the work in.
Thanks, it takes a lot of time!
Thanks for your time and thorough pro review.. Respect..!
Outstanding video comparisons - Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
I love my R5! Never had overheating problems, and I mainly shoot photos, 4k HQ and 120p. Who in their right mind shoots 30min of 120 footage? Got luck editing that 😅
C-log 3 is great, and I don't mind creating proxys, I'll buy a new laptop later.
Good point!
Apples new processors seem to be able to decode/support canons codec finally. People edit the 8k raw on their new iPads smoothly 😅
Best comment
I am a diehard Sony user and just keep a little perspective remember this is Canon's second go around in the mirrorless FF market, compare that to Sony's 2nd attempt the A7ii. This R5 is one of the best all around cameras on the market, period. It really wasn't until the 3rd generation that Sony worked out most of its issues, and now in its 4th gen they have hit their stride, criticism is fair but there are many people producing beautiful images with the R5, so remember why we do this✌
And me a diehard Canon user confessing that there are many people producing beautiful images with Sony cameras... Peace...
I totally agree on this one yeah it is second generation/1st generation because personally I think R designed as a test model but also as a R8 when people complain about overheating they forget about Sony is overheating problem they had in the past I bet Canon learn their lesson this time and the next cameras they come out will not have this problem. There’s multiple departments that are handling this camera when it’s been designed too. At least with software updates and Working with ninja recorders improving the camera.
It's not Canons first or second try at anything. They know how to build a camera and when they know the benchmark it's up to Canon to release or not release a model depending on how good they are compared with the competition. Let's be honest. The R could have been desingned as a better camera when first released but that was probably some years ahead. Thinking about the leak to other camera manufacturers the needed to enter the marked with a mirrorless- fast, and the R is were they where at the moment of release. The lack of dual cards is not accidental, neither the time limit on video. This is so thoroughly planned but the customer seems to excuse the company for their "first try". Canon is not a bullied kid that needs protection or to be excused for it's flaws when the flaws are carefully planned not to be to competetive towards own Canon models.
@@dyrogfugleliv6278 it is their 2nd gen FF mirrorless.... I don't know why you trying to trash Canon.... When there is also Nikon and Panasonic who have experience on mirrorless but still pull a FF that aren't competitive as Sony. Yet very few people bash them.
@@zegzbrutal It's probably because Canon sticks their head out more and for years had a leading role as a camera manufaturer. Nikon is struggling keeping up with the two in front with their autofocus - true, but they are not sticking their head out either. Not trying to trash Canon and don't know why your need to defend a company that so deliberatly and calculated know what they are doing. Canon is aided by people that defend them no mather what they do or don't. That does not benefit the customer in the long run.
That was a great review. As someone whose workflow fits the R5 like a glove I found myself nodding throughout.
Glad to help!
Thanks for a comprehensive test!
Excellent reviews as always!
Thanks!
That is a lot of work put into this video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One year's worth!
The Alpha 1 4:2:0 set me back at the additional price because it does limit some FX in video. The limitation is the card Sony has chosen which cannot support the higher bitrates. Canon’s choice is curious in design in overheating prevention, but we’ll see which cameras hold up over time. I suspect keeping price lower on R5 and 8K with higher quality required compromises. In video field production we have equipped FX-6 crews and C-70 fast turn around, but I’m hoping for Ninja update that we can loop out from Canon making those cameras more versatile.
Great review. From personal experience with my R5, I found there wasn't an overheating issue when recording in 8K rawlite. Anyone else experienced this? To me this was a game changer.
I think I still experienced overheating in raw lite after about 30mins worth, but I'm glad it's working out for you!
Another great review and comparisons.
Thanks!
Please tell me how to avoid jitters when filming on R5 with long zoom lenses ? Do I have to switch stabilisation off ?
Great review. Wonder how the rumored R5c (R5 with active cooling) will do. Although I still shamefully live in 1080p land since it works for me as a hobbyist.
What are your recommended autofocus settings? How do you change from Eye Autofocus to just things? How to manage to focus if the subject is walking or running fast and won't be jarring instead of smooth?
FINALLY! Liked, and subscribed!
at last!
what an amazing review. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Do check out my other part, all about photography...
Hi Gordon, any news on Canon APS-C camera with RF lenses? Thanks.
I don’t think it’s gonna happen I think they’re going to do full frame all the way even in cheaper bodies like the RP
No
Excellent and helpful. Are you using any filters when you take those video clips?
nope, no filters on any footage in this particular video. I prefer NOT to use them in order to show the maximum quality from the camera.
Thanks for the dual recording tip! (it still fails at times to record on a CF Express, even in '23)
Great review of the R5 for video Gordon, although I do wish you had spent a bit more time exploring the crop (but still oversampled) crop modes and comparing them to the standard 4K and 4K HQ modes. Maybe the crop is too restrictive for most, but from what I have heard, the cropped 4K mode looks superior to the standard (uncropped) 4K and doesn't suffer the same overheating restrictions that the uncropped 4K HQ does.
yes I wish I'd done more on it, maybe I will in the future BUTI did include some cropped res chart samples
How much of a crop is it?
@@charlesnetzler2262 1.6
@@RogerZoul I would love to see the RF 18-35mm on the r5 with the 1.6 crop.
Very thorough. I love your reviews.
I got an R6. I love it. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, or the resolution, but I love it. It's fantastic if you're satisfied with 4K.
The R6 is really good, I hope to do a review of its movie capabilities in the future
@@cameralabs That would be fantastic. The downsampled 4K quality has really blown me away sometimes. And I've gotten some handheld footage so smooth I argued with a friend of mine who was convinced it was on a gimbal. It's never overheated on me, but I'm at 30FPS most of the time. I'm probably biased, but I think it's quite underrated.
Keep up the amazing work!
Good job Gordon!
Hi. Thanks for the Video. One question. I cant play my c log Videos on Windows. Tryed everything (different players, codecs). Adobe Premiere doesnt Play it either. Do you have an idea ?
C-Log records in 10 bit in H.265, so the issue is you don't have a player that can decode H.265 on your PC. Have you tried VLC? I use Final Cut so can't comment on premiere, but look up H.265 and 10 bit support for your version of Premiere
Top work Gordon
Hi Gordon. Great review as always! Can you please tell what options for video recording with Ninja V available and what is not? Also does R5 overheat when recording to Ninja V? And what would be downside if use Canon EF lenses with adapter? Thanx!!!
You can externally record in 4k today with ninja v without overheating in most modes. Check atomos website for full details
👌✌
By the way, is the wobble corners finally gone? I didn’t notice any from your stabilisation test
It's there when using IBIS with very wide lenses
i currently have had a Canon 80D for a long time and have been depsertley researching for months on different full frame cameras for both high quality photography along with stunningly crisp Video for a number of scenarios. I have been buying alot of Sigma Lenses that are EF mount which sucks because the cameras that are obviously better are ones like the Sony A7siii, Sony A7R V, Canon R5 (What I am most leaning towards) which all have different mounts that I would buy adapters to fit my current lenses. I have been debating for so long but deserve an upgrade in quality from what I currently use. Any recomendations on any cameras I did not mention or any I did mention! Do you think the R5 would be perfect for me? I would really appreciate any suggestions from people who have used many different cameras and would like to help me buy the perfect one!
Excellent review. Curiously, can you do a video on "best scenario" to look at time / quality for long shooting uses with an Atomos recorder? Settings etc
Glad you liked this video. There's no point me doing another video just rolling off times, as they take days to do for every mode and cooldown, repeat for every fw update and there's already hundreds here on YT!
Gordon! I am unable to import the 4K HQ from the r5 into PRCC on the Mac. I’m using the latest version of CC - I can see the files on the card - but the files don’t even show in the importer. Any thoughts?
I use Final Cut, so can't say for sure. Are you able to import any of the other 4k formats into PR? Maybe it's an H.265 codec issue.
@@cameralabs I worked it out - it was user error - I had re installed cc and forgot to uncheck file type when importing. duh
Hi Gordon wondering if you have updated your camera book to refer to the R5 ?
No, but there's no need, everything I say in the book stands today!
Nicely done...i subscribed thank u
I love the R5, if I was a professional videographer I would just get a cinema camera! As far as hybrid camera, for $3900, it’s a great camera! This was a great review though
Thanks!
I may have missed it, but does it overheat in “regular” 4k60?
As usual Gordon a very comprehensive review so well done must take a lot of prep work. As to the R5, amazing to think that it is already a year since it came out and from your observations, it must be a no brainer to buy an external recorder if video is your thing or, just a different camera. I am a stills photographer mainly but have started working on some short films of late using a Canon M6 MkII and have found it better to use an external 5.5" screen rather than the flip up one on the camera plus a lot of tripod use ! I do find that although way outside of my budget, the amount of technology all these big brands cram into their expensive cameras quite amazing and it is really quite marginal which model/brand you buy into, you would be really hard put to buy a truly awful one these days :)
thanks John!
@@cameralabs There was one other thing I forgot to mention, I have a 32" 4k monitor (its not high grade just big), on one of my PCs and I watched this episode full screen, it was brilliant, thought you might like to know :)
Quick question? Is it suppose to heat at 1080p 120fps?
Any overheating issues in the 1080/100fps mode?
Hi Gordon I was wondering with the chart resolution comparison between the Sony, Canon and Lumix 4k if the white background represents the colour of each camera at all? I've noticed a green shift with my Lumix S5 which seems to be shown with the S1H here. Sony looks to be the truest white and Canon more magenta would you say?
I found it hard to get all to deliver the same white balance even when manually adjusted or calibrated. I wouldn't read too much into their overall balance here as my lighting setup can change. It's more a resolution comparison.
@@cameralabs Legend, thanks for clearing up. No one else can see this green in Lumix I talk about btw so have come to the conclusion it's probably my eyes haha
Great review!!
Thanks!
Have you or anyone else have issues with files not recording all in 4k? I have my r5 set up with custom modes the main one being 4k 30 fps, 1/60, 400 iso CLOG. I primarily shoot that way for vlogs, but some times it randomly decided to produce files that are basically 1080p and not in CLOG ? And I'm not sure why it does that cause it would really just be a random file out of a set of files shot.
Thanks, Gordon. I've had my R5 since last fall. What I don't understand is that all the video mode are clearly somewhat cropped as compared to stills.
They'll only be full width in the dci modes, and those are only in 4 an 8k. 16:9 video is cropped a little widthways.
As a wildlife 'tog, who only needs to do video work occasionally, without the burden of clients to please, I find the highly competent 4k crop mode (downsampled from 5.1k) wonderful. It looks nearly as good as 4kHQ and offers zero overheating. Sadly, the few reviewers who even bother to test it only give it a couple of seconds of screen time. I do wish someone would bang on that mode a little harder. For the money, the r5 is simply perfect for me.
I showed it twice!
I am going to have to try the 4K crop mode.
@@cameralabs does the r5c has the same in camera 4k 120p slowdown without sound? i want sound do i must have to go for a1 or xh2s than?
@@k.o.t.o.n. the R5C has a means to seperately record a sound file during 4k 120 - I show you in my review of it, but the neater solution remains Sony. And my XH2S doesn't record sound with 4k 120.
Would you recall what your shutter speed was for the skateboard shot at 4k 120p?
Sadly not. I'd have aimed for 1/250 but maybe went higher if the conditions were too bright. I filmed those clips in day 1 with the R5 one year ago!
Gordon, which camera would you choose, this or the A7RIVA? Also regarding lens choices etc...
Bill, I'm happy to discuss and help you make the right choice, but that's a huge question, so enters into a coffee consultancy request!
@@cameralabs Have the R5, what a camera! This thing is a beast!
Thank you, do we get a follow up for photo as well ?
My photo one is already complete. Nothing more for me to add to that one.
What is your personal favourite and what do you use a ff milc the most. what camera is in your bag with which lenses most of the time, and do do you have a future cam. to buy? Sony a1 canon r5 or r5c? What do you think personally?
I shoot apsc or m43 for personal work
Really useful video, thank you for making it. I have had an R6 for the last year, which I have completely fallen in love with! I have just bought an R5 for all the features you detail here, so looking forward to getting to grips with it. I have a question about the footage of comet Neowise that you show - you mention that it was shot at ISO 25600, what were the lens and settings you used for that shot, please? Love a bit of astro!! Thanks
I think it was the old EF 85mm f1.8 at 1.8
Thank you 👍
Gordan I've recorded in 4k 60p for long periods. I've record got the overheating warning but I've finish my whole recording without the camera stopping on me. I did stop and record for scenes like 10 minutes on, 1 minute off and I was fine.
i have the c70, and im looking for a good b cam with rf mount. And im just so discouraged by the overheating limitations in the R5. It seems like the perfect answer in every other aspect, but 20-40 minutes of 4k reocrding before overheating? jesus christ, how can you use that in a wedding?
Any update on the Ninja V+ pro and 8K recording over 8K? I had looked at the chip sets and thought the camera was capable of HDMI 2.1 for 8K and happy I was right even though friends said I was nuts. It bought me a few coffees and brew or two on bets.
Still waiting for it
cool review !
Great job 👏
Very impressive technical video. Thanks you for your excellent work. Helps me to decide if I switch back to Canon again. Last week I dropped by inadvertence my Lumix S1 with the 24-105 into a river.
Oh no! I assume the weatherproofing didn't hold out... or did it? Once dried out, did it restart? You'd want to get the lens internals checked though.
@@cameralabs hello Gordon, the lens was full of water and it's a total wasted. The lens has a lot of dark circles inside. The body have a good amount of water inside the battery compartment, a little in the hdmi ports, headphone port and sd cards. I tried to dry the camera by removing the water with a microfiber towel, push some air with the blower, put beside a small dehumidifier, put it in oven over 5-10min not to hot with rice under the camera and lens a few times all door open with no battery. The viewfinder has become foggy the first time and I have a lot of error message "put power off, or replace bad battery" , the seconde time the foggy disapear, but joystick don't work correctly, the third time joystick was ok, message don't appear now, but I don't test the camera too mutch. I went to a local repairman and he says in the long run the camera is going to have a lot of experience issues, so for him it's a total loss. So far i have made a claim to my insurance and am on hold. For the next camera I want to have an evf of 5.7m and i think in the 24 megapixel only the S1 have one, that's why i am thinking of going back to canon r5 or sony a7r4 and have more megapixels, better af, equal evf, etc. but I have a lot of Canon lenses and flashes and I prefer the ergonomy of canon over sony. The only lens l-mount I have was the 24-105 and the adapter, because I was not sure how I can used these lens if in the future I switch to another brand. Honnestly I still prefer the Lumix S1 except for it af-c and the bad sigma ef adapter. But i not sure lumix is still a good choice.
@@yvanoid7807 Yeah that sounds pretty unrecoverable! Sorry it happened!
Thanks for great review . I for one got he R5 for stills but glad to know it can still keep up with the competition and not get left behind.
I love the camera and am still changing setting to fit in with how I'm shooting eg ive not set any custom settings just changed to back button Focus for eye. * to single point and that nice front button to change between continues focus and single. thinking to set C1 like this and C2 to human eye. then C3 for Macro to use the Focus staking ? still thinking :)
Oh talking about Macro Gordon have you had chance to look at the new RF100 L f2.8 Macro :) it feels lighter in the hand than the EF and I think it focuses quicker lol only had it a week :)
I hope to test the rf macro soon
Thanks Gordon 👍
You're welcome!
@@cameralabs would be nice to see a “R5 in 2024” review with latest FW’s. Probably no point as MKII will be here soon. 👍👌
Great great great review. Only surprise is not including the workarounds to the cameras overheating problems which now, a year later, we know the answers to: a) turn off the LCD screen when you record which lends itself to the external recorder/ninja products b) install a copper plate inside and there are companies you can pay to have this done, albeit at the cost of your warranty. Regardless, thanks for the content!!!
Hopefully Canon learn there lesson I won’t not include that copper plate I think Canon should offer that them self as a service.
I already made a workaround video plus others quoting various times. There's no point me covering the,same ground as thousands of other videos and I already spent over 5mins talking about overheating.
Hi Gordon! Thanks for an amazing review. I would appreciate a bit of a help on an issue I'm facing with my R5 footage. I see pixel like squares in bokeh areas sometimes when panning across. I have not one but multiple CLOG clips with a similar problem. This is not due to any external lighting since some of the clips have even been shot outdoors with similar results.
hmm, not sure what that could be sorry!
@@cameralabsthank you! In case you are interested in exploring it, may I email you the footage?
are you running at high ISO? is this noise?
@@onlysublime Nope. It's like JPEG artifacts but very geometrical, almost looks like pixels, only much larger. It occurs when I'm shooting 1080p footage even at ISO 100. It could be due to a fault in how the image is being downsampled?
This was great information for me. I'd like the ability to shoot short, high-quality video clips. Based on what Gordon says here, the R5 would give me as much video quality as I want, and overheating shouldn't be a problem. For stills, the R5 would also be a huge upgrade from the EOS M5 I'm currently using, so no problems there.
My question was whether the R5 would be a good choice for me. The answer is apparently "yes". Thanks for the useful info. Liked and subbed.
Glad to help
R5 is impressive. I didn't expect it matches the Sony A1.
Great video!
Thanks!
Amazing review. I am debating between Sony a1 and Cannon R5. I need the camera for family portraits and for underwater video. When underwater I don’t film all the time, I think the R5 with its 4k 120p will be a more economic choice. What do you think?. Thanks so much.
If you won't bump up against the overheating issues then the R5 is a good choice
Do you think the video white balance would be something that gets updated with firmaware updates?. Right now is really tedious to perform, and kind of a deal breaker for me. Seems like Sony A1 white balance is much more immediate. I would love something like that in the R5, that way I can update it at different depths. This is the only thing taking me away from this camera and closer to the A1.
@@jlramos3d I don't think it's seen as an issue by Canon, so I don't think it would be updated.
@@cameralabs makes sense. Thanks so much for the responses and the awesome reviews!!
Another great review vid. I love my R5! Thank you!
I did it all for you!
Gordon, did you not try 8k recording using the Ninja and screen and viewfinder off? People have been getting unlimited recording that way.
That is, even if recording internally. You just need any monitor.
8k on ninja is not available yet. And yes, I tried external 4k and have loads of results but I'm bored of just reeling off lots if times when there's hundreds of videos already doing that. I have a couple myself. I said external recording resolves overheating and 30min limit here.
@@cameralabs Sorry, I meant just the ninja as a monitor with 8k recorded internal. Anyway, yes you described that. People seem to have missed that. That said, I find the R5 incredibly annoying when using a Ninja as there is no way to stop the menu from appearing on the ninja, so if the monitor is off to the side, or you are self taping with monitor pointed toward you, it makes it very difficult to use the menu without having to turn the monitor around again. I wish there was a way to force the menu to stay on the flip screen. I have not tried a wireless monitor, but it seems that would make things even more difficult if the camera pushes the menu through HDMI as the only option.
Which memory card are you using for 8k raw?
A SanDisk CF Express
thank you!!
Great review! Though I still got no money for R5s and RF lenses xD
i noticed you mention 5k cropped to the Ninja 5 recorder, that tells me you read the the information the same as i did but im yet to get a straight answer out of Atomos at all have reached out to their support about it for the NINJA 5 (non plus) and they simply kept responding with a generic response about they cannot release information about feature updates etc when presented them with the information supplied on their website and from Canon directly, i was super excited to test he cropped RAW with the R5 and the Ninja 5 but found on day of realease with the R5 firmware update that its not available on the Ninja 5 recorder.
i would be interested to know your thoughts on this :). PS i thought i had subscribed to you channel already as you show up on my feed constantly love the content so informative! :)
No one knows yet. All I know is the V+ will do 5k crop or 8k full frame in raw. I have no idea if the old V will do anything raw with the R5 but I hope so. It'll be 5k at best though.
@@cameralabs Thanks for taking the time to reply :), I agree and would hope they allow it on the old V considering there is other cameras that can do the 5k RAW. it would be awesome to have that as im sure there will be people out there that dont want to upgrade to the V+ just yet or have no intention of using the 8K ability for the 2000 AUD price tag, currently :)
love your reviews very informative as always and appreciate you taking the time to reply to my comment.
I was hoping to hear that with all the firmware updates, the R5 would finally be able to shoot at least until 120P in 4K without overheating… sadly looks like the only option for video to record in 120P 4K without any issues is still just the dedicated cinema camera like the C70
The Sony A1 can do it
@@cameralabs from Canon. Sorry that I wasn’t clear in my first reply
Have you tried the new reducing the resolution on the rear screen to reduce the overheating time
Is that on the new firmware?

@@cameralabs as far as I’m aware. Not updated mine yet.
@@robmcd I think that was there earlier, I remember trying it out. All their updates improve matters, but it still overheats.
Good Sir..I like it
I use cropped 4K & overheating is history.
I don't need an external recorder, just keeping my R5 as compact as possible for stills & videos.
The cropped mode is also very sharp but if I was mostly or only shooting cropped, I'd buy a cropped sensor camera.
Basically it is a super capable photo first, video as added bonus camera.
I primarily use the 4k cropped mode. It's a supersampled mode that rivals the quality of the 4k hq mode. In this mode, it will never ever overheat. This would be the mode for productions like weddings. I'm surprised how Gordon didn't cover this. If I need the full frame with no cropping, I will use the 4khq mode but then I have to manage my time (though to be fair, I have not overheated in real world usage).
I did cover 4k crop in the resolution chart section
@@cameralabs yes, I was about to amend the comment when I saw that. However, it was a blink and you could've missed mention since the segment was less than 10 seconds and very little footage was recorded in 4k cropped mode. Anyway you did an extensive coverage overall. But I think the 4k cropped mode was slighted in coverage.
Have you experienced overheating in actual use? I'm not talking about 30 minute record test, has it ever shut down in you?
Yes when filming lots of 4k 120 at sporting events but if you're careful you can still use it for prolonged periods
Wish i can afford an R5. Great review. Thanks Gordon.
Had my R5 for a month now, shooting mostly stills - havent touched my 5D4 since. If I was intending to shooting mostly video I would have it modified straight away. I would either cut the back cover and install a heatsink plate exposed to the out side air, or, install a 3Dprinted back cover to accommodate this heatsink. Yes, it would be weather sealed.
The less than ideal mods I have seen so far vastly improve record times, and recovery times, but, they are still inside the case, relying on the thermal transfer properties of the plastic rear cover (bad).
Yes, why should I mod this ? Why not just buy the A1 ? Cost. And, the A1 does not have eye tracking in video.
Any opinion on the image quality of the cropped modes? I understand they have high quality and no over heating. Correct?
I include 4k crop in my resolution test
If I were any kind of videographer or professional I’d wait until Canon gets it right . These cameras cost a lot so I’d expect the product to be more competent, not just the photography features.
I wonder if the R3 will have unlimited video time .
I think the Canon's Cinema lines would be more suitable for pro videographers. The R5 is for hybrid shooting - someone who shoots photos & videos 50:50.
@@HenryAli Exactly... I have also heard that Canon will have the R5c model to have no overheating or recording limits.
The footage out of the r5 is just gorgeous and you can get it without overheating. You can't do greater than 30 minute recordings but realistically 95% of the time no one does over 30 minutes in one take.
People who complain about 'overheating' probably dont have the R5, only looks at specs, not professional photographers, and who just want to cry about products they cant buy. I have the R5 and its amazing, and dont have issues with overheating coz there are ways to work around it.
@@Notorious_biggest I’ve decided not to go mirrorless for a few more years. I have 5D mark 4 ⭕️lenses
Gordon, I want to rewatch. Some of your options to support you I either don’t use, or prefer. I’ll have to figure a good way to let you know I appreciate your work. We need a pro HDMI locking connector.
A great way to support me is to subscribe and simply watch as many of my videos all the way through as you can!
Ps then do the same on my Dino Bytes channel!
@@cameralabs ok will do!
HELP! I bought the r5 a week ago. My first video foray was recording my grandson's hockey game in 4K-U 23.98P IPB in TV mode. As a 73-year-old blonde, my iration increased every time I set the shutter speed, pressed record, stopped, and when I pressed the Record again, all the settings had changed. I can't find any video providing detailed instructions on various settings for various shooting situations. Chapeau Scooter Grams here.
Hmmm, I suspect you may be shooting in Program exposure mode. Use the mode buttons / dial to change to movie mode, then choose Manual from the list, that way the exposure will stay fixed. I generally use manual exposure for movies, so i choose the aperture and shutter, but then I set the ISO to Auto so the camera works out that part. To avoid choppy motion, remember to use shutter speeds no more than 2x your video frame rate.
