R or R6 or R5? So many R's to choose from - which one should you get and why? This is what we are talking about today (: This was the most requested video on the RUclips Poll! I'm gonna start a new poll soon - vote for what you want to see most! (:
I have 2 R, and 2 RP as my back up cameras, and I can tell you from 2 years of shooting with them. Don’t get too hung up on mega pixels. All 4 of the current cameras in canons full frame mirrorless line take fantastic photos. And the r and rp are MUCH cheaper, meaning you can invest more into your glass (glass will make a bigger difference in your product) Great video though!
hi, reading about your experience, I'm looking to get into FF for photography and I'm very interested in a Canon model, was debating on getting the RP or the R, which one would you say its a better buy ? are the extra features of the R really worth getting it over the RP or the RP is good enough for photography ?
Thanks, I'm torn between getting the R or R5. Two factors have been megapixels the other I like the idea of in body image stabilization. I mainly like to shoot, wildlife, landscape & macro. Seldom do I shoot sport or video.
I owned the R and have since upgraded to the R5, honestly for the medium level pro price ($$$) I paid, I will not consider trading or upgrading for many many years. This camera is a beast, best machine I have ever used, period! But lets be honest, I and most users, have never had any person or governing body grade or critique their work the way we see here on RUclips. I love these compare videos too, but for most users getting focus right is the main criteria.
love playing "Guess the Sensor" ! 🤣. Seriously, thanks for putting this content together - very helpful for my upcoming camera purchase. Lot of reviewers fail to show the 100/200% crops, let alone all side-by-side. Thanks for geeking-out and providing great data!
I love my R but damn I wish it had a joystick instead of the swipe thing that I never use. Other than that it's a top notch camera which is serving me well in my freelance work aswell as my personal adventures and I can't see myself upgrade for quite some time.
I purchased the Canon R6. I couldn't see paying that extra money for something I may never use. It gives me beautiful photos. I have an canon 5dmark iv and wanted mirrorless. This is the way to go. Thanks
For me, as I'm just getting into this for the first time, the RP was the perfect choice. I will invest in the good glass and see where it goes. If and when I get into it more I can upgrade to the 5 or 6 or what there is at the time and take my glass with me. If not, I'll have a nice setup to stay at the current level. WIN, WIN.
After thinking about it, it seems to me that Canon made each of them to be the mirrorless step ups for the different level DSLRs. Like the Eos RP is the step up for Aps-c DSLRs, the Eos R is the step up for the 6Ds, the Eos R6 is the step up for the 5Ds, and then the Eos R5 is the step up for the 1DXs.
I'm not quite sure about the equivalencies, as Canon seems to care a lot about the numbering of its cameras. The EOS R was more like Canon's entry point into the mirrorless camera market.

@@KaiCreative I thank they will replicate what they did with their SLR film cameras back in the day, where the Canon EOS 3 was way better than the EOS 5 35mm camera, but not better than the EOS 1 (or its 1N or 1V variants).

That's for telling us about the difference in the three R cameras. I decided on the canon R6 upgrade from my canon 5d mark iv. I'm loving the low lighting in this camera but I still will keep my d5 for my second camera
I wish there was a Canon body with R6 buttons/controls/dials/AF and ibis BUT --- EOS R sensor.... I also wish for a tilt screen instead of fully articulated one in that wished body Until that happens, for now i am happy with the R

All great cameras and the R6 looks to be an excellent choice............if only the sensor was around 30mp. I do like to crop sometimes and this would really reduce the pixel count. Not sure why they chose to drop to 20mp but so many people are hesitating because of this.
Those who hesitate because of the 20 mp need to educate themselves. It is a very high quality sensor. Put it this way, the 20mp sensor in the R6 is better than the 32.5 mp sensor in the 90D and the 30mp in the R!
Yes its only 20 megapixels but because the auto focus is sooo good that you can focus on your composition hence not cropping too much…and not cropping at all…
@@godz2928 Not really the point - yes it is a very good sensor, but so are a lot of others. The simple fact is that whatever the performance of the auto focus etc, there are only 20mp and it is not enough if you need to crop. Losing pixels by cropping - and limiting the print size dramatically - is the issue....not the auto focus or other nicetiies about the sensor
@@Jajajajanee What I meant was....I a m well aware of your basic suggestion about better reach or moving closer....but that is not the point. There are many times when you just cannot get closer and unless you have uber money and prepared to haul around a huge lens, then a lot of amateur photographers are limited to long lenses that cannot reach some subjects and cropping is essential. Also, your comment about 1DX users was a bit naive given that those users will now be using cameras with high resolution sensors. Also, the R5 seems to back up my view. This is aimed more at photogrtaphers whilst the R6 is better for video. My point remains the same. 20mp just won't cut it for people shooting stills who like to, or need to crop. It is a backward step by Canon when you look around at the resolution of the newer cameras.....unless you are a videographer. I've made my point and you have your view. I'm not going to continue going over the same ground that I have explained in my first comment
The R has dropped in price to $1599 US dollars, so I bought one to replace or supplement my old 5D Mark 3. I don’t see the point in buying the R6 over the R for photographers.
Yep 👍 this is true in my opinion. I’m mainly using my R6 for 4K video with Clog3 - for photography I’m still using my 5DMarkIV more and even my M50 and SL3 for more casual shooting 👌😎
Obviously the R6 and R5 wil outshine the R, but to me, it goes beyond that. I tried out the R once and found the controls (on the back) very annoying. The R6 and R5 have it right.
Haha tough to tell - think you'd need them all full scale on a screen one and a time and have a bit more time to decide - then you'd get it for sure (:
I upgraded to the R6 from my Canon 80D. I do A LOT of handheld work and here in Denmark you pretty much have to expect lighting conditions to change without a moment’s notice so the IBIS and uncropped 4K ( well a slight crop of 1.07) did it for me.
I think that you are wrong. I'm a wedding photographer and 45mp would kill my work flow and is overkill for this type of work or for that matter the majority of photos that others take. People say that they like to crop, how about getting closer, fit a longer lens or just compose correctly; either way 20mp is plenty to crop down for most purposes. Save yourself some money and invest in some good glass where you'll see the biggest improvement in image quality
I would have rushed out and bought an R6 had it not been for that 20MP sensor. Why why why when entry level EOS R has a 30 MP sensor. If I never have to do any cropping 20MP would be more than sufficient. Common Canon you can do better than that.
Great informative video. I changed from a 6d mark ii to a Canon R6. This was mainly due the improvement of focus points & IBIS.I am enjoying the camera with kit lens ( 24-105 mm f4 IS). The only down side is overheating when using 4K video after 30 minutes. I have adapted my EF lenses but the supply of adapters is haphazard.
Those first few photos: I'm watching from an S22U at 7am with screen brightness turned all the way down and I can see how soft the 'R' photos were compared to the others, it doesn't seem as sharp
Purchased an EOS R after owning and using an EOS RP. Transition was really easy. I do landscapes and believe that megapixels matter, so the EOS R6 was not an option and I really did not need the R5.. Video is not very important to me so the 1080 on the EOS R is fine with me. The 1080 on the R is actually spectacular and I can't imagine wanting more. Also the rear LCD and the EVF are wonderful, which were driving reasons for buying an R over an R6. Thanks for your videos.
I went from a T2i to an R. I was regretting jumping in to the first mirrorless for Canon, but I didn't want to wait any longer. And like you I don't care about video. I think I am fine for just hobbyist landscape photography with the R.
The images on the r6 are sharper and much better then the eos r. Megapixels really dont matter unless your doing huge posters. Overall image quality on r6 is way better and i think its worth the down in mega pixels.
@Uwe B actually the image quality is significantly better then the r. The r6 and r5 have very similar image quality except for the higher megapixels allows you to blow it up more. But the r6 and r are not even in the same realm of comparison. The r has no stabilization and I think most people shouldnt even bother buying the r and instead jumping up to r6 or going towards sony route.
@Uwe B go try an r6 and compare it to the r you will see there is a huge difference. Its no joke I know many wedding photographers who shoot on r6 and they previously had the r. The experience on the r6 is a world of a difference, the stabilization the controls. The autofocus reliability and how fast you can shot. The images are significantly sharper. Unless your are printing banners or shooting for billboards lol no reason to look at resolution in full-frame camera. And also the dual card slots are a must-have. If we get into video its over. I think having the ability to get reliable 4k video nowadays can be useful.
A 24x36 print is viewed from at least 6 ft. away. Larger prints are viewed at greater distances. Also software like Topez gigapixal AI allows you make large prints with lower megapixels. I’ve made 24x36 inch prints that were very good from a 5D mkII with a 20 megapixel sensor when viewed from the appropriate distance. What do you call someone that looks at a 30x40 print from an inch away? A photographer!
Was a canon shooter for years, then picked up a Sony 6400 for video - very nice and capable, but don't 'love' the menu structure or the hand feel as It's small for longer shoots, plus have a bunch of older canon lenses, so looking at the R6 for my next unit - would probably have looked at the Blackmagic 6K as it's far less very capable, and there's lens flexibility, But I do a lot of still photography as well. One question I do have is whether the R6 heats up or has any limitation for video - the little 6400 records forever, but wondering if there are any similar issues? Anyway, way too long story somewhat shorter - TERRIFIC review - very helpful, and much appreciated! - cheers!
Great video. I shoot clothing stills & video for you tube & web. My last Canon was years ago EOS DSLR with 8mp. Only used my iphone since. Looking at M50M2 but cant find it. Diff class, I understand. How would the R work out with a 24-105 L lens. For what I need.
Been using the R for the last few years and it is a workhorse. The photos are as good as any, the video is a little of a let down. But not really. The 120fps in 720, looks decent and the 1080p is superb. The 4k is excellent but with a crop. Now the 16mm RF is out you get about 24mm so very usable. No overheating here so i do feel a well rounded camera for the price. Oh I have now ordred the R3. Wanted to pass on the R6 and R5.
Why do we at DOD have R5’s without sd cards and cloud storage (just like phones) but you Civilians are stuck with memory cards? 🤔 Do you know why? The same reason why eye AF has been brought back but yours is sloppy but the tech Canon provides to our jet fighters (to name one) is outstanding.
I know this video is a year old or so now. I, a few months ago, got the R mostly due to lower cost and couldn't justify the higher for the R6 - I'm glad I did as I use the top screen a lot! If I was ever going to upgrade I would go for the R5 really, as it just gives me more of everything. I'd even still look at keeping the R, as it's very very very capable at the landscape or street photography, but does (as far as I've read) lag behind the R5 and R6 in low light. And the R is not great for action (I really want to look to get into car racing photography). Interestingly, and I know the video was made before them (and I bought my R before), if I was going to get a camera now I would probably look at the R7 over the R and go for RF lenses over the RF-S. I know you get a crop, but investment in the future n all? It would give me the best of both worlds really... Just with the crop top bare in mind. That said, I love my R. And while it is my first full sized camera I've had, the lack of dial on the back isn't a down side at all. But, I can see how it changes the workflow for people. It's a super capable camera, and I think it was the perfect way to get into full sized cameras. Sure I'm now spoilt by the accuracy of the mirrorless and being able to see the exposure of your shot right away, where you can't or much less accurately with a DSLR, but I still think it means I wouldn't rely on better AF and get used to instant and perfect results then wouldn't be able to go back (think with driving, if you learn in a car which can almost drive itself, then get a 25 year old car as your first one). If that makes sense...
I'm still shooting on my 5DSR. Being that I don't care at all about video, these cameras don't offer enough in photography upgrades to make the jump worth it just yet
Number of focus points available at any aperture and across full width of screen, auto tracking, low light focus and performance, dynamic range, sensor noise, shutter speed per second, twin cards slots, articulated screen, body IBIS are all things that are a massive upgrade from previous generations of canon cameras.
@@muffindell all cool things but as a stills photographer who manual focuses in environments where I control the lighting, none of those things will make my images better
@@DESIGNS-vo1mt perfectly true, although in many cases RF L glass is an improvement over EF glass, however, you certainly pay the price for the difference!
Dumb question. I like to photograph trains that usually go from 20mph to 70mph and I just post on Instagram. Is the auto focus worth it to upgrade to the r6 from the 5d Mark ii? I shoot in af mode because I suck on manual mode. Thanks
5d mark ii is the equivelent of canon eos R, but there's very little difference between the R and the RP the R has slightly more megapixels and a sensor curtain where as the rp doesn't but if you're shooting fast moving trains avoid the r6 since it's low megapixel count will effect the image quality in the end. i'm working on a 1280x720 monitor settings and even i was able to tell the difference between the photos he showed the r5 is the best and it shows at 45mp count especially with the woman's skin the pours in her skin and the wrinkles and curves in her skin texture and face and the first picture was so obvious which one was which
my advice wait like i'm doing waiting before upgrading my rp. i'm waiting until next year to see what canon offers for full frame and if they don't have a good lineup i'll switch to sony since the a7 iv looks promising as does the other a7 r iv and a7 r ii and a7 r iii
Which Camera should I buy I'm a beginner and at first I wanted the Canon R 5 now I'm confused which I should buy. Which is better for photographery and videographery? Please Respond ASAP.
@@KaiCreative I like you. Other RUclipsrs see the comments, and won't even respond but you respond to many comments as you can. As well as, thank you for the suggestion of the question I asked earlier.
if you're just starting out steer clear of canon and go with sony the a7 iv has more megapixels and more of everything along with ibis. the only things i don't like about sony is the loud noise from the motor when you click to take a photo and the menu settings
I'm still shooting on the 80D and love it, so any of these is a delight. Personally, I think the R6 is my shine point. I should get the R but I'm just too damn stubborn :P
I upgraded from the 80d to the R6 and the difference is very noticeable. I shoot sports and I loved my 80d since 2016 and took it as a backup to a softball game recently. The pictures were soft compared to the R6. The dynamic range capabilities while shooting in low-lit hs gyms is very helpful in the R6. I've never shot with the R or RP, I'm sure they're great cameras, but the i think the R6 has better all-around capabilities. The toggle stick itself is very helpful. If possible save up for the R6. Plus Canon constantly upgrades the firmware to make it better but i never see upgrades to the R or RP which should tell you something. Good luck on your next camera!
The are lovely cameras if I could afford I will get the r5 Because is ready for the future 8k and all that good stuff ant and plus is a camera I will have for many many years
Yes funds are a massive factor with the R5, but also remember you will need to invest in the CFexpress cards, and get a machine that can handle the 8K files... It all adds up 😁
This is not the first comparison test showing R's photos are kinda too white and R6's are a bit green. To me only R5's photo color is really Canon style.
landscape rp, r, r5 avoid the r6. bird the r5, the r, and possibly the rp i've shot birds with the rp seagulls and eagles (not flying but moving it's wings) and i've had no problem using the rp with those. i've shot on a 300mm lens for best results and cropped whenever i needed to.
As a bird photographer and action sports too, I love the R6. The eye detection is awesome and the frame rate is great for my needs. And then they come out with the R3 lol. I’ll probably look into that in the near future but the R6 is the perfect Goldilocks camera to track moving birds really well! Love it! Eye detection isn’t perfect, but I set up duel back button AF so I can quickly get back on target if eye detection fails. It works great for me though overall.
Yep 👍 In 1-point mode, scrolling the dials moves the point to any of 143 positions (an 13 x 11 array). Nudging the four-way controller moves on a finer 87 x 65 position grid, to give access to the full 5655 points. This second method is a lot slower, so may be better for fine-tuning that initial point selection.
For me RF lenses are just too expensive to jump on board of buying a R6 and R5, when I buy a camera I am also going to buy into the system of lenses for the camera, this is where I think a major stumbling block for people to buy into Canon R6/5. I like to buy the native RF glass like 70-200mm F2.8 or a prime like RF 50mm F1.2 to go with the camera but I can't believe their pricing is nearly the price of a R6.
I personally haven’t used a 90D, but I have a 70D and an Eos R. In continuous autofocus, the eos R shoots at closer to 3fps meaning you’ll miss a lot of shots. That being said, even cropped in at 1.6x it’s way way sharper than my 70d. I’ve heard amazing things about the 90d. Especially for wildlife. If that’s going to be the exclusive reason you’re shooting, I’d go 90d. The eos R would probably be better as an all around camera though.
as someone that used the 90d and the rp i couldn't stand the 90d. ive seen other wildlife photographers who had tremendous success with the 90d but when i used it, it felt to primitive for me i could not get to do what i needed it to do. i tried shooting buildings, then the moon, and yes some birds and it was abysmal when i did it, but that's not to say you'll have the same bad experiences i did in fact you might have the opposite and better experiences and as i've said i've seen some wild life photographers who's had tremendous success with taking wild life photos
I use an R5 but thinking about picking up an R6 as back up because I sold my DSLR. What do you think ? Will I notice a huge difference in the R6 compared to my R5 which I love?
@@alinaaslanyan2402 you will in lowlight situations. I have shot the R5 on lowlight movie sites and the pics came out mushy. I switched to the R6 and those pics became the promo shots
awesome video ! im definitely looking into upgrading from a 5D (classic) to a R6. i shoot video with a C100 mkii so this would be probably better then both my current camera's put together.
i love the photos, but i would like explaneid configuration functions for use EOS R little videos, 2 minutes each. the EOS R it is the best camera for photos.😉
@@dougsmit1 It's actually a very helpful feature that many top wedding photographers use on Sony. You can use primes and essentially get two focal lengths on each body.
@@Rickyswoop Yes, and you can shoot all at FF and crop later. When you change from FF to 1.6x you lose the option of editing at 1.3x and save space on a memory card. Perhaps this is desirable for a wedding photographer who needs a thousand images of a hundred image event. Rather than dumbing down a FF camera, I still think it might be better to have a second body for shots of minor importance. We each do what we must to accomplish the goal at hand.
Just the video I'm looking for! Thank you for showing us the differences. I'm using EOS RP and this video decided with my budget to go get EOS R6. Subbing to your channel and be there to see you get 100k SUB!
@@TheOscardominguez24 yes, I bought and never looking back for the purchase. Get the R6 if you can get one. The eye AF is great. I used to have the RP but sold it and got myself R6
@@TheOscardominguez24 just still learning how to do videography at the moment. If you’re doing Video You can look at Sony as an option. But if you already have a lot of Canon lenses R6 should be great
Mmm I'm already set on micro four thirds. You can adapt any lens to them and they're pretty powerful cameras with some itty bitty lens options. I have a 100-300 and the crop factor multiplies that by two and I can crop another 2 times and get fhd at I don't know shouldn't it be something bogus like 1200mm I don't know but it's crazy. You can get some tiny wide angles and telephotos for a decent price. And the cameras are all great. But bigger sensors are pretty appealing. Especially with their better low light.
@@KaiCreative Why do you deny the Canon RP? It is the Canon for Rebel veterans. No it is not the best in every category but it is a good camera for the budget limited shooter.
This would have been a great video but denying the RP as an option for the amateur or budget minded means no like and no subscribe here. For some, things like frame rate and video specs mean less than the thousand dollars we could put to a good lens.
A big mistake in waste of money. You can go Soni A7 iii you get toomuch featchure at the same money. You save money more than 1.5 lakhs₹ and happy. This has just a tilted viewscreen only but more money .
You would be surprised on the difference it can make to remind people to subscribe. The same goes for asking to give a thumbs up and/or to leave a comment.

I'm not going to continue going over the same ground that I have explained in my first comment
The R has dropped in price to $1599 US dollars, so I bought one to replace or supplement my old 5D Mark 3. I don’t see the point in buying the R6 over the R for photographers.
Yep 👍 this is true in my opinion. I’m mainly using my R6 for 4K video with Clog3 - for photography I’m still using my 5DMarkIV more and even my M50 and SL3 for more casual shooting 👌😎
Obviously the R6 and R5 wil outshine the R, but to me, it goes beyond that. I tried out the R once and found the controls (on the back) very annoying. The R6 and R5 have it right.
Literally got all of the photo guesses wrong! I blame YT compression haha!
Haha tough to tell - think you'd need them all full scale on a screen one and a time and have a bit more time to decide - then you'd get it for sure (:
Fantastic video Kai! Clear, concise and excellent delivery. Subbed. Keep up the great work.
I upgraded to the R6 from my Canon 80D. I do A LOT of handheld work and here in Denmark you pretty much have to expect lighting conditions to change without a moment’s notice so the IBIS and uncropped 4K ( well a slight crop of 1.07) did it for me.
Let's be honest,, If we had the funds we would all just get the R5 ,,,
This
Yes funds are a massive factor here for sure - I mean, I'd like the latest Mercedes Benz - but for now I have to settle for my Peugeot 308 😂😅
I think that you are wrong. I'm a wedding photographer and 45mp would kill my work flow and is overkill for this type of work or for that matter the majority of photos that others take. People say that they like to crop, how about getting closer, fit a longer lens or just compose correctly; either way 20mp is plenty to crop down for most purposes. Save yourself some money and invest in some good glass where you'll see the biggest improvement in image quality
@@muffindell This is also a good point, from someone who works with the cameras. Thanks for sharing.
@@muffindell not really. as someone who does landscape wild life and astrophotography the 20mp would kill any pictures i take
I would have rushed out and bought an R6 had it not been for that 20MP sensor. Why why why when entry level EOS R has a 30 MP sensor. If I never have to do any cropping 20MP would be more than sufficient. Common Canon you can do better than that.
the entry level is the RP, the R was to replace the 5D4. and its predecessor is the R5. I don't think the R6 was ever meant to replace the R.
Bro 5d mark iv and and EOS R and r6 a7iii which one is best for wedding photography and long term use
Sir, A Very Well Explained & a Super Educative Video! Thanks!
Is it just me or is the EOS R censor smaller than the others?
Great informative video. I changed from a 6d mark ii to a Canon R6. This was mainly due the improvement of focus points & IBIS.I am enjoying the camera with kit lens ( 24-105 mm f4 IS). The only down side is overheating when using 4K video after 30 minutes. I have adapted my EF lenses but the supply of adapters is haphazard.
1080 FHD overheating too? Or just in 4k long time use
Those first few photos: I'm watching from an S22U at 7am with screen brightness turned all the way down and I can see how soft the 'R' photos were compared to the others, it doesn't seem as sharp
Purchased an EOS R after owning and using an EOS RP. Transition was really easy. I do landscapes and believe that megapixels matter, so the EOS R6 was not an option and I really did not need the R5.. Video is not very important to me so the 1080 on the EOS R is fine with me. The 1080 on the R is actually spectacular and I can't imagine wanting more. Also the rear LCD and the EVF are wonderful, which were driving reasons for buying an R over an R6. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks Rich, great to hear experiences that others have had in this decision making process! 👌
I went from a T2i to an R. I was regretting jumping in to the first mirrorless for Canon, but I didn't want to wait any longer. And like you I don't care about video. I think I am fine for just hobbyist landscape photography with the R.
The images on the r6 are sharper and much better then the eos r. Megapixels really dont matter unless your doing huge posters. Overall image quality on r6 is way better and i think its worth the down in mega pixels.
@Uwe B actually the image quality is significantly better then the r. The r6 and r5 have very similar image quality except for the higher megapixels allows you to blow it up more. But the r6 and r are not even in the same realm of comparison. The r has no stabilization and I think most people shouldnt even bother buying the r and instead jumping up to r6 or going towards sony route.
@Uwe B go try an r6 and compare it to the r you will see there is a huge difference. Its no joke I know many wedding photographers who shoot on r6 and they previously had the r. The experience on the r6 is a world of a difference, the stabilization the controls. The autofocus reliability and how fast you can shot. The images are significantly sharper. Unless your are printing banners or shooting for billboards lol no reason to look at resolution in full-frame camera. And also the dual card slots are a must-have. If we get into video its over. I think having the ability to get reliable 4k video nowadays can be useful.
Only way to really decide is to enlarge to poster size to see where image starts to fall apart
A 24x36 print is viewed from at least 6 ft. away. Larger prints are viewed at greater distances. Also software like Topez gigapixal AI allows you make large prints with lower megapixels. I’ve made 24x36 inch prints that were very good from a 5D mkII with a 20 megapixel sensor when viewed from the appropriate distance. What do you call someone that looks at a 30x40 print from an inch away? A photographer!
Was a canon shooter for years, then picked up a Sony 6400 for video - very nice and capable, but don't 'love' the menu structure or the hand feel as It's small for longer shoots, plus have a bunch of older canon lenses, so looking at the R6 for my next unit - would probably have looked at the Blackmagic 6K as it's far less very capable, and there's lens flexibility, But I do a lot of still photography as well. One question I do have is whether the R6 heats up or has any limitation for video - the little 6400 records forever, but wondering if there are any similar issues? Anyway, way too long story somewhat shorter - TERRIFIC review - very helpful, and much appreciated! - cheers!
Excellent review Kai!🔥 I voted for this one 😉
Thanks Chaz and thanks for playing (:
Is 1:33 correct? I thought the middle would be the r5 and the r on the left.
Great video. I shoot clothing stills & video for you tube & web. My last Canon was years ago EOS DSLR with 8mp. Only used my iphone since. Looking at M50M2 but cant find it. Diff class, I understand. How would the R work out with a 24-105 L lens. For what I need.
Great comparison video. Thanks. 👍👍
Thanks for the kind words and support 🙏💪
Been using the R for the last few years and it is a workhorse.
The photos are as good as any, the video is a little of a let down. But not really. The 120fps in 720, looks decent and the 1080p is superb. The 4k is excellent but with a crop. Now the 16mm RF is out you get about 24mm so very usable.
No overheating here so i do feel a well rounded camera for the price.
Oh I have now ordred the R3. Wanted to pass on the R6 and R5.
how can i programm configuration EOS R log setting 8 bit? the camera say no with the current shotting mode.
Do u choose der R6 Ober the R, for labdscape?
Dynamic Range so much better?
Why do we at DOD have R5’s without sd cards and cloud storage (just like phones) but you Civilians are stuck with memory cards? 🤔 Do you know why? The same reason why eye AF has been brought back but yours is sloppy but the tech Canon provides to our jet fighters (to name one) is outstanding.
I know this video is a year old or so now. I, a few months ago, got the R mostly due to lower cost and couldn't justify the higher for the R6 - I'm glad I did as I use the top screen a lot!
If I was ever going to upgrade I would go for the R5 really, as it just gives me more of everything.
I'd even still look at keeping the R, as it's very very very capable at the landscape or street photography, but does (as far as I've read) lag behind the R5 and R6 in low light. And the R is not great for action (I really want to look to get into car racing photography).
Interestingly, and I know the video was made before them (and I bought my R before), if I was going to get a camera now I would probably look at the R7 over the R and go for RF lenses over the RF-S. I know you get a crop, but investment in the future n all? It would give me the best of both worlds really... Just with the crop top bare in mind.
That said, I love my R. And while it is my first full sized camera I've had, the lack of dial on the back isn't a down side at all. But, I can see how it changes the workflow for people. It's a super capable camera, and I think it was the perfect way to get into full sized cameras. Sure I'm now spoilt by the accuracy of the mirrorless and being able to see the exposure of your shot right away, where you can't or much less accurately with a DSLR, but I still think it means I wouldn't rely on better AF and get used to instant and perfect results then wouldn't be able to go back (think with driving, if you learn in a car which can almost drive itself, then get a 25 year old car as your first one). If that makes sense...
Will R6 get All-I compression video support ?
I'm still shooting on my 5DSR. Being that I don't care at all about video, these cameras don't offer enough in photography upgrades to make the jump worth it just yet
For me the autofocus is reason enough
Number of focus points available at any aperture and across full width of screen, auto tracking, low light focus and performance, dynamic range, sensor noise, shutter speed per second, twin cards slots, articulated screen, body IBIS are all things that are a massive upgrade from previous generations of canon cameras.
@@muffindell all cool things but as a stills photographer who manual focuses in environments where I control the lighting, none of those things will make my images better
@@DESIGNS-vo1mt perfectly true, although in many cases RF L glass is an improvement over EF glass, however, you certainly pay the price for the difference!
the autofocus and being able to move your focus points was crucial when i went from dslr to mirrorless it was a huge game changer
Dumb question. I like to photograph trains that usually go from 20mph to 70mph and I just post on Instagram. Is the auto focus worth it to upgrade to the r6 from the 5d Mark ii? I shoot in af mode because I suck on manual mode. Thanks
From the 5D Markii! You will be blown away my friend - it will be like going from a year 2000 Ford Fiesta to a 2021 BMW 🤩🥳🥳
@@KaiCreative same here! You really will be blown away! Even the different between the R and R6 is huge.
5d mark ii is the equivelent of canon eos R, but there's very little difference between the R and the RP the R has slightly more megapixels and a sensor curtain where as the rp doesn't but if you're shooting fast moving trains avoid the r6 since it's low megapixel count will effect the image quality in the end. i'm working on a 1280x720 monitor settings and even i was able to tell the difference between the photos he showed the r5 is the best and it shows at 45mp count especially with the woman's skin the pours in her skin and the wrinkles and curves in her skin texture and face and the first picture was so obvious which one was which
my advice wait like i'm doing waiting before upgrading my rp. i'm waiting until next year to see what canon offers for full frame and if they don't have a good lineup i'll switch to sony since the a7 iv looks promising as does the other a7 r iv and a7 r ii and a7 r iii
Which Camera should I buy I'm a beginner and at first I wanted the Canon R 5 now I'm confused which I should buy. Which is better for photographery and videographery? Please Respond ASAP.
If you have the funds - go with the R5 (:
@@KaiCreative I like you. Other RUclipsrs see the comments, and won't even respond but you respond to many comments as you can. As well as, thank you for the suggestion of the question I asked earlier.
if you're just starting out steer clear of canon and go with sony the a7 iv has more megapixels and more of everything along with ibis. the only things i don't like about sony is the loud noise from the motor when you click to take a photo and the menu settings
No brainer for us - if we had to choose it'd be the R5!
Yep it is such a beast - Video is amazing (:
I'm still shooting on the 80D and love it, so any of these is a delight. Personally, I think the R6 is my shine point. I should get the R but I'm just too damn stubborn :P
I had 80d and love it...then i got RP and is the change was great. But My plan is RP as a bcam and R or R6 the main camera...
I upgraded from the 80d to the R6 and the difference is very noticeable. I shoot sports and I loved my 80d since 2016 and took it as a backup to a softball game recently. The pictures were soft compared to the R6. The dynamic range capabilities while shooting in low-lit hs gyms is very helpful in the R6. I've never shot with the R or RP, I'm sure they're great cameras, but the i think the R6 has better all-around capabilities. The toggle stick itself is very helpful. If possible save up for the R6. Plus Canon constantly upgrades the firmware to make it better but i never see upgrades to the R or RP which should tell you something. Good luck on your next camera!
The are lovely cameras if I could afford I will get the r5
Because is ready for the future 8k and all that good stuff ant and plus is a camera I will have for many many years
Yes funds are a massive factor with the R5, but also remember you will need to invest in the CFexpress cards, and get a machine that can handle the 8K files... It all adds up 😁
This is not the first comparison test showing R's photos are kinda too white and R6's are a bit green. To me only R5's photo color is really Canon style.
What camera is great for bird photography and landscape photograph?. I’m a beginner as well
landscape rp, r, r5 avoid the r6. bird the r5, the r, and possibly the rp i've shot birds with the rp seagulls and eagles (not flying but moving it's wings) and i've had no problem using the rp with those. i've shot on a 300mm lens for best results and cropped whenever i needed to.
you can try the 90d for bird photography but i couldn't stand using it. you might have better luck with the 90d than i did
@@RandomGuy-qn2fr why isn't good r6 for the landscape, birds etc?
As a bird photographer and action sports too, I love the R6. The eye detection is awesome and the frame rate is great for my needs. And then they come out with the R3 lol. I’ll probably look into that in the near future but the R6 is the perfect Goldilocks camera to track moving birds really well! Love it! Eye detection isn’t perfect, but I set up duel back button AF so I can quickly get back on target if eye detection fails. It works great for me though overall.
Does the IBIS in the R5 & R6 work with the EF adapter?
Canon R or Canon 90D?
For me the 90D for photography and the EOS-R for video
@@KaiCreative I have Canon 80D and C100 Mk 1. So I was thinking bout whether to upgrade from 80D to 90D or not. It's hard for me to decide.
I think that for photography not so much - but for video the 90D is pretty good for 1080 👌
@@KaiCreative alright thanks man.. if 90D is much better than 80D I'll try to see if I need it.
Eos R has 5655 focus points my friend .
Yep 👍 In 1-point mode, scrolling the dials moves the point to any of 143 positions (an 13 x 11 array). Nudging the four-way controller moves on a finer 87 x 65 position grid, to give access to the full 5655 points. This second method is a lot slower, so may be better for fine-tuning that initial point selection.
I access the full 5655 with touch focus in an instant 👍
Eos R is dead to me. I saved up hard and got the R6 its AF is game changing.
Extremely well done
Great video, Thank you !
Thank You 🙏 🥳🥳
I'd be happy with any one of these (:
All of these are powerful tools (: I think price is a massive factor here for most of us.
What are you talking about I get like 2000 if not more shots out of the r5
Nice video!
The R has the lowest dynamic range of three, i thinking that’s a clear giveaway in the photos
For me RF lenses are just too expensive to jump on board of buying a R6 and R5, when I buy a camera I am also going to buy into the system of lenses for the camera, this is where I think a major stumbling block for people to buy into Canon R6/5. I like to buy the native RF glass like 70-200mm F2.8 or a prime like RF 50mm F1.2 to go with the camera but I can't believe their pricing is nearly the price of a R6.
can you not use an adapter and buy EF lenses?
@@s1dew1nd3r4 no, you have to buy adapter to use ef lenses on r cameras. Canon is the only brand not allowing third party making rf mount lenses
If you have so much money R5, if yuo shoot up 12800iso R6. Excellent camera for all purpose R.
This is a nice summary 👌
r6：我在寻找职业暗光摄影师
what do you think the 90d or de R for wildlife photography
I personally haven’t used a 90D, but I have a 70D and an Eos R. In continuous autofocus, the eos R shoots at closer to 3fps meaning you’ll miss a lot of shots. That being said, even cropped in at 1.6x it’s way way sharper than my 70d.
I’ve heard amazing things about the 90d. Especially for wildlife. If that’s going to be the exclusive reason you’re shooting, I’d go 90d. The eos R would probably be better as an all around camera though.
@@Joe-hm1zk yea but the 90d can not with my lens. So im going to buy the r6
as someone that used the 90d and the rp i couldn't stand the 90d. ive seen other wildlife photographers who had tremendous success with the 90d but when i used it, it felt to primitive for me i could not get to do what i needed it to do. i tried shooting buildings, then the moon, and yes some birds and it was abysmal when i did it, but that's not to say you'll have the same bad experiences i did in fact you might have the opposite and better experiences and as i've said i've seen some wild life photographers who's had tremendous success with taking wild life photos
2min in, and watching on my phone, i chose the R5 correctly from all 3 scenes! Seems it might not be just the megapixels ... ;)
Great video. I sold my R and a ton of glass and picked up the R5 and R6. I definitely don’t regret my purchases.
Which is better?
@@Miltonbosss My go to is the R5. The R6 is great but I shoot a lot of fashion and ballet so the megapixel count can matter a bit more
what type of lenses are you currently using? does ibis work in photography or is it video only?
I use an R5 but thinking about picking up an R6 as back up because I sold my DSLR. What do you think ? Will I notice a huge difference in the R6 compared to my R5 which I love?
@@alinaaslanyan2402 you will in lowlight situations. I have shot the R5 on lowlight movie sites and the pics came out mushy. I switched to the R6 and those pics became the promo shots
awesome video ! im definitely looking into upgrading from a 5D (classic) to a R6. i shoot video with a C100 mkii so this would be probably better then both my current camera's put together.
actually i was able to tell the difference and im on a 1280x720 resolution monitor setting
👏👏☝️☝️
i love the photos, but i would like explaneid configuration functions for use EOS R little videos, 2 minutes each. the EOS R it is the best camera for photos.😉
Can these Canon mirrorless shoot in APSC mode like Sony bodies can?
They can but I see no reason anyone would want to. If you want a 1.6x cropper you can spend less and get more.
@@dougsmit1 It's actually a very helpful feature that many top wedding photographers use on Sony. You can use primes and essentially get two focal lengths on each body.
@@Rickyswoop Yes, and you can shoot all at FF and crop later. When you change from FF to 1.6x you lose the option of editing at 1.3x and save space on a memory card. Perhaps this is desirable for a wedding photographer who needs a thousand images of a hundred image event. Rather than dumbing down a FF camera, I still think it might be better to have a second body for shots of minor importance. We each do what we must to accomplish the goal at hand.
yes crop factor of 1.6
Great video though!
Could've added the RP, but it's basically an R with some drawbacks
Yeah love the RP, never done a 4 camera review - maybe next time (:
@@KaiCreative We love our RP!
Drawbacks like lower price and Focus Bracketing (which I use a lot)?
@@dougsmit1 and lower continuous speed... 5 fps is just too slow for me

@@TheOscardominguez24 just still learning how to do videography at the moment. If you’re doing Video You can look at Sony as an option. But if you already have a lot of Canon lenses R6 should be great
@@Kenkichi24 thanks! I think it's gonna be R6...
Mmm I'm already set on micro four thirds. You can adapt any lens to them and they're pretty powerful cameras with some itty bitty lens options. I have a 100-300 and the crop factor multiplies that by two and I can crop another 2 times and get fhd at I don't know shouldn't it be something bogus like 1200mm I don't know but it's crazy. You can get some tiny wide angles and telephotos for a decent price. And the cameras are all great. But bigger sensors are pretty appealing. Especially with their better low light.
What is the equivalent of a Canon Rebel but in mirrorless?
I'd say the Canon M series is the mirrorless equivalent you're looking for - like the Canon M50.
@@KaiCreative Why do you deny the Canon RP? It is the Canon for Rebel veterans. No it is not the best in every category but it is a good camera for the budget limited shooter.
When the r3 come out in less than 10 days I hope the r drop

easy answer....Get the one you can afford lol
This would have been a great video but denying the RP as an option for the amateur or budget minded means no like and no subscribe here. For some, things like frame rate and video specs mean less than the thousand dollars we could put to a good lens.
5655 at points. to be precise.
