Vanessa Joy on RUclips was on a panel with other photographers discussing the R5 Mark II release. She mentioned she uses the R6 Mark II for her wedding photography and was waiting for the release of the updated R5 over the R5 Mark I because of the improved focusing than the R5M1. The R5M2 isn’t scheduled to ship until August 20th. So pricing of the R5 should be better as well if you are leaning towards the R5M1
@@FATH_PHOTOGRAPHY Oh no!! I’m so sorry to hear that! I wonder if it was more of a firmware glitch then, but I’m not entirely sure. If you replaced the battery with another new, charged battery, maybe that would help it to turn on!
I have a Sony a74, with 5 sony lenses 😂, but now my dream camera is canon 5D4 with L lenses. Im planning to buy a 5D4 soon so i take some time to look into newest review on youtube and found this video. I must say if you doing pro work Mrl like R62 or A74 is the way to go, but for hobby portraite photo i'll choose canon dslr every time, canon image always look more pleasing to me and everything about canon DSLR remind me of the early days when i start to learn photography and that makes me happy 😊
@@tuanminh3720 I love both my Canon 5D Mark IV, and my Canon R6 Mark ii! That’s awesome that you have so many Sony products, and I’m glad this video helped you in your search! L lenses are just wonderful! I feel like they really help my style pop!
Although I have the R5 and the R6 Mk II (and I love them both), I can't bring myself to get rid of my DSLRs (an old 300D, a 20D, and the 1DX Mk III). I'm giving serious thought to adding the 5D Mk IV to my gear bag. (Christmas is coming, after all...)
@@adude394 I agree that sometimes it’s hard to get rid of older cameras! I’ve only sold my first Canon T6, but I sold it to my brother in law, so it’s technically still in the family! It’s really just weighing the pros and cons of buying a new camera body as well as weighing the pros and cons of keeping older camera bodies.
Here's a quick statement about the battery klitsch you mention here, this is actually the first time I've heard this problem. I've had my R6mk2 for almost 2 years now and have never had this problem. I strongly suspect that it may be due to the use of replica batteries, which usually have less capacity and, above all, are much slower and therefore cannot always supply the chamber with the necessary power, i've also often read that the replica batteries limit the functions of the camera, especially when it comes to auto focus speed, eye detection, etc. The same problem can also occur with the old original canon batteries of the LP-E6 series. The significantly more expensive Canon LP-E6NH batteries were developed especially for this purpose for a reason. If the problems also occur with the Canon LP-E6NH battery, I would send the camera in under warranty and have it repaired. Because this should definitely not happen with the klitsch.
Thank you so much for providing more insight as to why this might be happening! I will definitely look into what you said above and see if that fixes the issue I'm having! :)
The weight of the camera matters? So only carry the camera? Weight of camera and lens would be more realistic. If you are still using EF lens as many people and yourself are, weight of 5Div v R6ii & EF/RF lens adaptor would be worth mentioning.
I have a Canon 5D M4 and thinking of switching to Sony A7R iiiA. They are similar in price and the Sony is 42MP. I love how photos turn out with that camera. My Canon is hard to carry around sometimes bc it’s bulky, and gets heavier when using a heavy lens. The other thing about the Canon is the screen, I wish it had a flip screen. It’s always been my dream camera but selling it is the only way I’d be able to afford the Sony-if I really go for it! I think it’s worth the trade since trying to find the lens I want has proven difficult.
@@dccd673 Sony works for some people as well! I hope you’re able to get it and that it does the job you need it to do! And flip screens are always nice!
@@jennifercookephotography Great video. I want to go from 5dm4 to r5 or r6 2. The over heating during video sounds like a deal breaker. You are saying in 4k 60 it overheats on the r62?
@@mikem6796 Hello! I really do love the Canon R6 Mark ii for video! However, there is the potential that it could overheat if you film for too long without a break in 4K 60fps. I'm never had an issue with it overheating in HD 60fps. I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker, but you also should test it out to know its recording limits before you do an important gig! You could also look into the R5 if you wanted too as well. I have a video talking about the technical specifications about the R5.
I own a Canon 5DIV, got it last year with a 35mm EF II L lens, very expensive but on my wish list for years. I did considered newer cameras that take care of everything for you, except for pushing the button such as the latest crop of mirrorless from Sony. What make me go for the Canon was I needed a challenge to improve my photography and learn, if your camera takes care of almost every aspect of the process you as a person learns nothing and will never improve! Yes many of earliest photograph on the Canon are seriously bad but over time I am seeing improvements and I am learning all the time, you will never get that from a camera that just require you to point and push a button and forget!
I agree! I feel that both the Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon R6 Mark ii require you to learn how to properly expose an image, white balance, and learn the auto focus settings! It's definitely not just pushing a button.
R6mkii. Why invest in the past? Mirrorless cameras are on a different wavelength. The fact that with mirrorless you no longer need to focus and recompose, that alone is worth the change to mirrorless.
Mirrorless isn't perfect. I have an R6. And a month ago I bought at 5D Mark 4. The 5D Mark 4 is a more durable, much nicer to use camera. Using the R6 for the last two and a half years just didn't sell me on it. For video the R6 is amazing and far superior in most ways. But for photography and build quality the 5D4 is more fun to use and far more reliable.
@@reallycoolguys Wow! Thank you so much for this valuable insight! I do really like the Mark IV for photography as well, but I agree that the video capabilities of the R6 is pretty amazing!
@@mikemcgowan8118 Very interesting! Thank you for your helpful insight! I’m assuming that the Canon R5 is better in image quality because it has 45 Megapixels instead of the R6 Mark ii which only has 24.2 Megapixels. Do you find that the Canon R5 takes up a lot more space because of the image quality size?
I really enjoyed your video. The only thing I would ask is how much money is one physically making off your Photography/videography? I say that because if one is just learning /toying/ hobbies with Photography/videography they can go to Places like KEH or B&H and pick up a used 5Dmk4 and some EF L lenses significantly cheaper than the cost of entering an R series in an RF system. The last thing I would ask if one travelled a lot? They might want to consider a used D series in an EF system because it helps lower one’s overall cost, as well as reduce paranoia around the "what ifs" e.g., it was stolen, lost, broken, dinged up and so forth. I been with individuals traveling with newer lighter gear and never enjoying their adventure because they spent the whole time worrying about their gear. (that's probably outdated by the time I was able to respond to this. LOL). Again, great video!! keep-on encouraging others. =)
First, the first 2 to 3 years of photography/videography income will most likely be put back into the business (that's how it's been for me); however, by year 3 and 4, you will start to profit more and be able to pay yourself more (just depends on how much you make and what expenses you have to pay for before you can pay yourself for the work you're doing). Plan on being able to pay yourself about 30% - 40% per year of what the business is making. Most business owners will tell you that this is the reality of running a business legally. Second, I honestly totally agree with you about KEH camera and used camera bodies and lenses! I actually normally buy renewed or refurbished camera bodies off of Amazon or used lenses off of KEH camera. I am still using EF lenses because I like them, and they work great for what I do! You can also use the Canon R6 Mark ii (this camera body has an RF camera mount) with EF lenses, you just have to buy an RF to EF mount adaptor so you can use EF lenses on your RF camera body (I love doing this)! EF to RF Mount Adaptor here - amzn.to/4hzltf5. Honestly, I am very protective about my camera equipment when traveling, but we do travel for weddings quite often (normally just driving from Tennessee to Virginia also sometimes al the way to Vermont or North Carolina). I just "my Jennifer rules in place" to make sure my camera equipment is protected whenever traveling for work. I'm pretty used to it at this point, so it's just normal. However, if you were flying, I'd definitely get a hard protective, pelican case and always keep your camera equipment with you, no exceptions. I do what I can to protect my gear and keep it with me; however, I also just trust the Lord with my gear, my career, and try not to worry too much. Thank you so much for your helpful comment! :)

For all functions of the Canon R6 II you should use the newer batteries LP-E6NH (instead of the older LP-E6N ones)! I really love my R6 II!
You are totally right! I definitely think I will be making the transition soon!
