Quiet Morning Hike | Comparing the Canon R5 vs 5DSR vs EOS R for Landscape Photography | 4K

- Опубликовано: 28 май 2021
- Get ready... this is going to be a long one! On my morning hike to a local favorite trail, the light wasn't exactly exceptional, and I also had a new recent delivery that I just had to test out: the Canon R5! I take pride in the fact that this channel and almost all of my videos are not gear-focused, but this hike was such a great opportunity to compare and provide my insights on three exceptional Canon full frame cameras for landscape photography that I simply had to share. If gear comparisons aren't your thing - feel free to skip this one and catch my next hiking and photography video... no hard feelings!
If you saw my video about photographing a PA Hidden Gem, you'll know that I came across a crazy good deal on a Canon 5DSR back in November 2020. It was a used model with only 5k shutter actuations for less than 20% of the original retail price. After years of waiting, I finally was able to afford the DSLR I had always dreamed about! Well this month, I found a great deal on a similarly lightly used Canon R5, with under 8k actuations, the EF-RF mount adapter, and 4 extra batteries, all for hundreds less in total than the R5 body retails for alone. I couldn't believe it when I saw it, and simply had to consider adding it as my new hybrid camera for filming these videos and taking on challenging scenes where the 5DSR can sometimes struggle.
Needless to say, I'm very excited to add this camera to my bag. Especially since the R5 is so good at so many things! I really wanted an all-in-one camera that I can take anywhere (when I'm not hauling my full camera bag, such as just hiking/traveling for fun) that has similar superb image quality to the images I get out of the 5DSR. Also, while the Canon R has 4K video, the heavy crop factor makes shooting some scenes difficult. The weather sealing is so-so (had a close call once...yikes), and the only way to get higher frame rate video than 30fps for slow motion b-roll is to abandon 4K and shoot in either 1080 (60fps) or the much lower res 720 (120fps), neither of which I preferred. The R5's full sensor readout in all 4K modes means I now can use my fully weather sealed lenses from 16mm - 400mm for all 4K video work, and the 60fps and 120fps will open new doors for creative video work. All in a package with a much improved still image, too.
It is worth it to upgrade from the R for the video improvements alone. Add in IBIS and the image quality improvement and the R5 was too compelling to pass on. If you're curious how the R5 compares to the 5DSR and R for landscape photography, then this will be a great overview for you! I tried to test the three camera bodies as fairly as possible as I would most likely use them. I push the camera bodies to capture photos in harsh light with high dynamic range demands, and I also compare the level of intricate detail captured. This might not make a difference when posting to Instagram, but I've sold some 30x40" prints where fine detail and better dynamic range will be noticeable. Lastly, I also push the sensors ISO up to 800, which is the upper limit I am comfortable shoot at with the 5DSR. Keep in mind - this is how I would use these in real world settings. Don't expect this to be full of test charts or lens comparisons! I use the exact same lens and settings for each body and test to remove that variable.
The things I did NOT compare include: 8K video, 60fps vs. 120fps, AF performance, shutter burst speed, higher ISO performance (1,000+), EVF performance, and IBIS performance. Not that these things aren't worth examining, but these are all features that I would seldom use. I don't plan to push the high end video capabilities so much that I would encounter the temperature warnings, as 99% of my video work is 4K 30fps (doesn't trigger overheating). I also don't do sports or events, I use longer exposures to keep ISO low for landscape images, and IBIS is nice but not a huge consideration. By far the key points for me are the full sensor 4K video w/ 60fps and impressive 45mp resolution.
Let me know your thoughts on the performances of each, and if the results line up with your expectations! There were certainly a few surprises.
Happy shooting,
Brian

For landscape photography, I conclude the old 5DSR is not only as good as the newer R5 in 2024 for properly exposed images in the ISO 100-400 range, but it is a great value at only $1100 to $1200 used in excellent condition. I can't think of a time when I have ever under exposed by 3 stops. The added insurance to lift the shadows of the R5 is indeed nice, but it comes at a hefty price tag. I am using the 5DSR as a second/backup to my R5 for landscape work.
Could not agree more! Only thing is that the 5DSR is still ahead of the R5 for me. If I take the time to properly expose, keep ISO at 100, and use a tripod, it's still the better option.
@@brianbeattyphotography Gotta love the older gear still providing tremendous value.
Great video, Brian! I have been shooting with my R5 for about 6 months now and I love it. That was a great comparison video.
Thanks Jared! I can see why 👍. It’s a an awesome camera in every way.
Thanks for doing this work Brian, these are all cameras I've considered at some point and it was great to see a real world comparison between them. I've had a 5Dmk4 for years now which I understand has the same sensor as the R, so that gives me a great idea of where I stand within the current Canon offerings. With the recent price drop it sure seems hard to beat that 5DSR..
Thanks Chris! I'm glad you found it useful. I know I was comparing these three for the better part of two years and just so happen to find a brief overlap where I could test them. The sensor in the R is the same as the 5D4, which is amazing. It just doesn't have the extreme level of detail capture, which may not even be necessary for the majority of people. I hadn't even looked for one until I had a print order of 30x40, which I thought stretched the 30mpix a little more than I'd like. Last fall and winter there was a huge rush of 5DSR's on the used market (1000 - 1100 USD) and you could have bought a new one for 1300. It was unreal! I should have grabbed two, because it's the only one I want to use shooting for as long as I'm at it.
Thanks Brian for all the effort!!
I hope you found it valuable!
Thanks for this. Just what I need to see. Just ordered both cameras brand new. R5 and 5DSR. the latter for the studio mainly. Switched from Sony.
Nice choices Mark! You can’t go wrong with that setup. Two of the best cameras. I always think about if it makes sense to part with one but I never can bring myself to do it. Both offer such distinct benefits
Very useful comparison and good to see as I've just purchased a Canon R5 - the detail and dynamic range are a definite improvement.
Thanks Russ, glad you found it useful. I was very surprised at how comparable the detail capture was to the 5DSR, and the DR was noticeably better. I’m looking forward to testing it on even more challenging scenes
Great video Brian. I'm still rocking my EOS R for now. So far it's doing what I need it to do as far as photography and filming go. Without a doubt, the R5 is an amazing camera, but just way above my budget at the moment. This video does give me an idea what to expect if I move forward with it. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Jason! I love the R and definitely think it works for 95% of cases, so the R5 did feel like a splurge upgrade in a sense. Had I not found one used that was substantially cheaper than retail with all extras included, it would’ve been out of my range as well. The most difference I’ve seen after a couple months now is primarily on the video side, so if it wasn’t my hybrid camera for filming I would’ve stuck with the R as well 👍 A lot of the photo benefits like high frame rates, AF, etc are more geared to general shooting, action, and handheld, while mine is often on a tripod.
@@brianbeattyphotography Same here on the video. The only downside for me is the crop on the 4k video recording. I know the R5 is full frame on 4k, so that is a plus, but unfortunately it's beyond my budget.
@@jasonlorphotofilms yep exactly. I was able to work with the crop factor for a while, even getting the EF-S 10-18mm for a walk around/hiking lens, but then the problem was I couldn't go out in bad weather or near the ocean since it isn't sealed. I think by selling my R and getting a great used deal, it'll only end up costing about a quarter of what the body retails for, so I can live with that I guess
Nice that Brian..very interesting and informative 👍...I've been looking at an r6 - maybe I'll hang on till I've saved enough for the r5 - top watch as ever..Cheers! T🙂
Thanks Tony! Glad you enjoyed it. Not my usual type of video, but I think it was important to share for people considering options. The R6 is an excellent camera. If you’re not printing huge it may be worth the savings to get it over the R5. If I haven’t sold a couple of very large prints I would’ve gotten it I think.
lol , this one poped up on ,y feed ... massive different in the weather haha , cant wait for the summer
Haha, yeah me too. Ready for some moderate morning temps for hiking!
Thank you very much for the informative video! I'm going to buy a new camera next week and I have to decide between the R and the 5 Dsr (the R5 is out of my buget). The R is a newer camera and the 5 Dsr has more megapixels and image quality. For a landscape photographer who wants to make big prints, I believe the 5 Dsr is better but if a person shoots everything and don't need to print large/huge images, the R is a very good option.
Thank you! I think you’re thinking about both models exactly the right way 👍. I used to have the R and absolutely loved it as a perfect all around option. The 5dsr really is a specialty tool, but if it’s what you’re looking for it really can’t be beat. Best of luck with the decision!
Just received my brand new 5DSr and happy!
Awesome! It’s a great camera - enjoy!
Is it not that good in low light ?
Hi Brian, thanks for this. I have had the EOS R for 18 months. In that time I have had both the R6 and the R5 on Canon Test Drive, I have also rented the 5DS R too for a few days. Each time when I go back to the R I seem to fall in love with it a bit more. As another poster also said, the R seems to be a really under-rated camera. I am predominantly a landscaper, so I use a tripod for the majority of my shots so the IBIS is irrelevant. That said, I am still lured by the larger sensor size of the R5 and the greatly improved AF for the occasional birding and local soccer games that I cover. As for whether the R5 will enable me to take “better” shots than with my R, I would say this video has “managed my expectations!”
Hi Dominic, I’m glad to hear you have such a great appreciation for the R as well! The only reason I moved on from it was the lack of the dual card slots (more important as I start “once in a lifetime” trips and events) and the fairly limited 4K video options. Other than that it is great! The 5dsr is still my favorite though. It makes me more methodical and thoughtful in the moment. And the images are just spectacular!
Larger sensor?
Great Comparison Thanks.
Thanks Timothy! Glad you found it useful
It would be interesting, since you have the images already, to downsize the 5Dsr images with the noise, to a point where the noise is greatly diminished, as in trade resolution for noise kind of thing. One wonders at what point the noise recedes. Also, one wonders how a 1 or 2 stop raising of shadows of the 5dsr would look, since 3 is quite a bit and how highlight recovery may behave, does one camera do better in ETR, or highlight recovery.
I would assume the R5 is far superior in many aspects, especially hand held, certainly in shadow recovery, however it looked like the 5Dsr had a more saturated look to the colors when raising shadows and or a bit more red? Hard to tell for sure in HD mode viewing.
It would seem perhaps bracketing and technique and a bit more work in post and a bit slower and more care when taking the shot, would, in many instances render the outcome of the 5Dsr and R5 to be nearly indistinguishable? Any opinion on that?
Here I am talking landscape not sports or course.
Also, what is you opinion of hand held for the 5Dsr for general photography? To me (having just barely acquired one) I am still forming an opinion, but it does seem to me that almost universally for hand held work with the 5Dsr that medium and even small raw (depending on one's goals) may make more sense than large raw, I can see the effects of movement (shake) and focus accuracy being degraded by hand held for sure on the 5Dsr.
The 5Dsr starts to feel like a high maintenance broad, she can be all pretty for the party, nice dress and jugs, but an absolute bitch getting ready and picky about how I behave. Anyway, I am thankful to own some low maintenance bodies for "other purposes" I am not sure which one I am married to and which is, as the Sopranos call it, the goomar. ;) Best wishes!
Thanks for the thoughts John! These are all completely valid points. I didn’t do any comparison with downsizing, as frankly the reason I like the 5DSR is for its huge resolution and large printing options. If I always downsized I probably would’ve stuck with the R since it is a really great option for 99% of use cases.
I chose these three types of tests just as the three common ones I might encounter. Downsizing will reduce the noise, and ETR will yield the best exposure/result. I’m not sure what the strange color cast was from, as the underexposed image was the only time I’ve seen the red cast before.
With great technique like exposing to the right, bracketing if necessary, and using a steady tripod, the images will be better than the R5 but only just. The new tech is amazing! The 5DSR is finicky for sure, and I don’t hand hold it at all due to the potential for pixel blur, but when setting it up, waiting for the scene to be still, and exposing right, the results are amazing! The challenge of using it is part of the fun I think 😎
Hope this helps!
Brian
On my 5DSR after I put the 1 point AF square on my subject, let’s say a tree about 40-50 yards away, then tap back button AF everything looks clear but then I tap the magnify button to either level to check focus and the image goes to a blurry mess? When I next turn the focus ring on lens the image clears right up and looks great.
TY
Hmm that’s odd. I know the 5dsr has a dated autofocus system but I rarely use it anyway. Glad that you’re able to use the lens manual focus to get everything right!
Thanks for this review, just what I've been looking for. The other reviews talk more about video than photography and don't make a review just like yours. I'm using a 6D mark II but I'm planning on getting a 5DS R for some photos that need more detail, like facades, interiors with a lot of textures and fabrics or some where the trees in the background would need a little more of detail. The only thing that keeps me thinking is the dynamic range, I don't think the 6D is better but I would be guessing. The R5 is a great camera, I think it really fullfill my needs but is not in my budget. I was thinking in the sony A7 IV, and it may be in my budget but I like Canon. Is very difficult to decide.
I had the 6d2 too! Back before starting YT. I sold it a few months later though because I never really connected with it. The 5dsr is so much better in so many ways. DR, detail, build quality, etc. For what you describe it would be perfect and way cheaper than the R5. The only things the R5 is better at is autofocus and dynamic range. Detail would be better on the 5dsr. Good news is that it can be found for $1100 or so too, which is crazy good value. Just use a tripod and shutter release to get the most out of those details!
Hey Brian….great video! Your comparison answered a big question for me. I bought the 5Ds when it first came out and love the camera. When the price dropped on the 5Dsr I bought one….how can you pass up that deal? Wow, it’s a great camera! But I have found that both cameras have a lot of noise when you are trying to recover the shadows. I find that I am working hard to get the right exposure or I end up bracketing when light conditions are challenging.
One question for you….do you consistently use auto focus and if so, do you use the single point?just curious how you focused on the images in this test comparison.
Thanks again for this super informative video!
Thanks Bob! I absolutely love the 5dsr, even the challenge that it presents over the R5. I feel like I have to work harder for the images, and the detail is unmatched! I’m glad you were able to grab one before they’re gone forever.
Generally I use manual focusing for all of my work on the 5dsr. Use live view and the depth of field preview to see if I get everything sharp. If not I’ll focus stack but I try to avoid. In this video I used manual focus and the same lenses, just picked a spot on the images I could easily identify
Question Brian I am new in photography do you think still the 5DSR will be good for portraits even the R5 is also available? Right now deals of 5DSR for 1500 or I should just wait for 3600 and buy the R5
Hi David, the one drawback of the 5Dsr when doing portraits is the potential for moiré, so I would actually suggest the 5Ds as a better alternative if that is your main focus. The good thing too is that it is cheaper than the 5dsr and functionally identical except for the filter. These both have less dynamic range than the R5 though, so that is something to keep in mind. If you’re in a studio then this won’t matter. But if you are outdoors often, do weddings, etc it may be better to have a slightly newer model. I’d actually recommend the R6 if you can live with a little less resolution. Plus the file sizes are much more manageable!
Great video Brian, making it harder to decide what to do with wanting to upgrade though lol. And now with the new R3 coming out .....to many options and not enough money haha.
Haha, thanks Kevin! We’re fortunate to have so many great options. What are you shooting currently?
Cannon 80d so really anything is a big step up lol
@@kevinjmurrphotography nice! I used the 80D for about two years before parting with it. It's a great camera and highly underrated. I moved to the 6D Mark II and immediately regretted it, aside from moving to the awesome 24-70mm ii.
@@brianbeattyphotography I thought about switching to the 6d markii as well but when you compare it to the 80d its not worth it. The eos r is a nice affordable step into mirrorless.
Great video. Still trying to decide between these 3. Here are few things.
1) I don't do video shooting. Don't know how vlog works.
2) Principle usage - when I travel internationally, Landscape photography, Long Exposures, occasional portrait in a daylight and bit of food photography in a restaurant when having fine dining in daylight. Portrait I mean, asking someone to take photo of me when I am out at a beautiful scene so I do have to rely on their judgement of handling the camera.
I have Fujifilm XF100 and with a Speedlight I can manage evening dinner food photos. It is just easier to carry inside a restaurant. A cocktail photo with XF100 + speedlight is quite sharper on Instagram. I do occasionally struggle on Food photography as with dark lit room, white plate, I have to up the ISO and with Speedlight I don't get major dynamic range though but ok to post on a disappearing stories. Nothing fancy. Manageable.
3) I don't print so my current usage is to have sharp images on Instagram only. Cropping may be not major in-depth but you know if I need to get 4:5 or 1:1 style, I may do tiny cropping to fit in on Instagram than black bands on top or side for wide photography shots. I don't know how Instagram would suppress a high resolution images so that's one thing.
So really what would you reckon between these 3 for my usage? Does R5 is too much for cost and I won't able to use its potential? is 5DSR perfect up to 100-400 ISO for my use on tripod. Or R is perfect given it is smaller brother of R5 and cheaper cost and since I won't print, and despite lower resolution works best for Instagram and the cost savings is best?
Price perspective 5DSR and R fall in the same range. R5 is way expensive. It is not the cost factor stopping me but I want to ensure I get maximum benefit/usage for the cast. So if there is no justification for higher cost, I don't mind saving money.
Lenses : 16 - 35 F2.8, 70-200 F2.8 and 85mm F1.4 for portrait. So all depends in I go with EF or RF lens.
Any help is appreciated.
In your case I’d go for the R, easy. Way less expensive, you wouldn’t use the main benefits of the R5, and the 5dsr really shines best on a tripod for landscape only. All your lenses will work just as well on the R. I really miss it!
@@brianbeattyphotography Thanks. I just saw The 5DSR is 300 bucks cheaper than R. That's is where I am torn.. 30 MP vs 50MP..
@@MrBPM75 understandable. But for your purposes I'd still suggest the R. Even if there is a slightly used one on eBay or something. The autofocus is dramatically better, it has newer tech like the touchscreen and exposure preview, etc. The 5dsr is stunning and I love it, but it is such a specialty camera that I really can only strongly recommend it to landscape shooters.
I was just looking exactly for this kind of comparison...can you upload the raw files ?I have Eos R and i wanted to see my self the difference (mainly colors and color profiles difference) between R and 5DSR ?Thank you !Eos R is most underrated camera...i have this camera since 2 years...i am super impressed by its operation,output,iso and very very good dynamic range...specialy if you use it with Dual Pixel Raw you gain +1 more stop than the normal.
The R is an awesome camera. I really struggled with deciding to let it go, but I’m happy that it’s on its way to a new home where someone else can enjoy it as much as I did. I’m glad you liked the comparison! I’ll see what I can do with hosting the RAW images somewhere for download
@@brianbeattyphotography Thanks !You can try with Wetransfer...worked for me very well,easy to send files without any reg.
Cool video, Brian! Swapped between Canon and Sony more times than I care to admit and I keep coming back to Sony for their superior (generally) sensor performance and native (and 3rd party) lens selection. I'd love to try the R5 as its sensor seems to hang with Sony but at $3,800 for someone who doesn't do video that's a tough pill to swallow. For that I could easily get 2 nice used Sony (a mixture of 3rd and 4th gen) bodies. The R is a nice operating camera that comes pretty close but again the sensor performance just isn't there. I've got a friend that has the 5DSR but the Sony sensors crush that thing by over 2 stops. This is my long winded way of saying I wish the R5 were cheaper.
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it. I'd disagree somewhat on the lens selection, as I know I've saved a ton going with secondhand and slightly older Canon L lenses that I never would have been able to afford going with either RF or Sony options. But I do know they are all excellent as well!
The R was a favorite camera, and it really pained me to sell it. But, like you said the R5 is expensive and I had to fund it with something! The only reasons I parted ways with the R was for the better video options of the R5, much better weather sealing (had a few close calls...), and image quality that is comparable to the 5DSR so I never feel like I'm sacrificing on that front if I can only walk around and carry one. The 5DSR produces such a stunning image that I always want to have it, but it is heavy and definitely older tech, so I need to be more deliberate when composing and shooting. If I didn't do video work too, there's no way I would've gone with the R5 and would have been more than happy with the R.
I find that when I expose properly with the 5DSR it produces truly stunning results, and I am only ever disappointed with DR if I botch the exposure. But, that's on me, not the camera. If I need more range, it's easy enough to bracket. And for those 1 in 1,000 cases where I really need 14-15 stops of range, I'll just use the R5, but that is very rare and is usually only an ocean sunset image, etc. where the movement of the waves makes bracketing a challenge.
lol I'm torn in buying these legacy systems because I have a 5D3, but REALLY want a 5DSR...aaaaand a 1DX lol they are the same price in the used market.
Three (still) great cameras! Despite the age the 5dsr is still my favorite even over the R5. Those are very different though, what do you shoot that would give you a need for all 3? Maybe just get an R5 as it would cover all those needs in one
...can u make video for sharpest lenses for 5dsR
Hey Pramod! Unfortunately I don’t think I own enough lenses to test for one sharpest lens. However, I’ve bought sold many but these are the ones that I still have left because they’re so good: 16-35mm f/4L, 24-70mm f/2.8L II, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L II, 35mm f/1.4L II, and 85mm f/1.4L IS. All of these are spectacular and I’m glad to have found great copies on the used market. I can’t really speak to others/other brands though.
Dear friend, great video, but could you post raw files from the cameras on these videos as well?
Thanks!
So, it seems like all of these cameras are overkill for a little/standard low-res monitor. In fact, any DSLR or mirrorless camera since the year 2000 can be enough for 1-2mp screen. Which makes the comparison rather irrelevant, when you cannot see all the benefits of a better camera. Honestly, blowing the screengrab footage up to 4K makes them all look bad on a proper 4K display. Perhaps it would be wiser to upgrade your monitor first and then decide if you need a better camera or not. Because if you are not fully utilizing your old camera, then what's the point ... pixelpeeping? These cameras are too good for the boring standard viewing sizes :). You need like a 40"-50" 4K/5K UHD screen to start seeing the difference. The ultra-high-def photography is amazingly beautiful when viewed large. And the 5DsR is still a great tool for that (in the right hands). I've got my 43" 4K IPS monitor 6 years ago and OMG ... I was "blind" before and now I can see :). True story. Good light, my friend.
I definitely agree! This is such a good take on it. For most people that take photos for social media sharing predominately, there isn’t a need for the high (even 20mp is overkill) resolution bodies. Unless of course cropping is really important. The only reason I moved from the R to the 5dsr, despite the “step backward” in dynamic range and tech, is I started selling some very large prints. In the 30x40 or larger range. While 30mp is solid for that size, 50 really shines once printing extra large. That and I truly enjoy the process more with the 5dsr regardless of spec comparisons. Simple enjoyment has to count for something too! Glad you liked the comparison anyway 👍
@@brianbeattyphotography Yeah, 20mp can be enough, but sometimes it's not. I mean, even for a proper 4K screen, 20mp are never too much, despite that the display is only 8.3mp. Because 20mp images are not pure data and we need to downsample a lot to get rid of all sorts of mess in them. I would say that 20mp is barely enough these days. And it's very disappointing to see new 20(ish)mp cameras being released again and again, while we actually need 40+mp. I use 20mp 6D for stitching. It works great - plenty of resolution, no blurry AA filter, nice colors and contrast, medium format results, no need for expensive optics, etc. But, at the same time, it's a PITA :).
Unfortunately Canon, in contrast to Nikon, which respects more the professionals who have the Nikon D850, has not presented any new firmware. He could very comfortably. She generally doesn't take care of her models. We have invested a lot of money to buy them. By force he made a new firmware for the 1dx mark iii. Could also be for the canon 5dsR. At least for digital noise and focus. Too bad. We feel cheated.
I’m not sure how much is firmware vs. sensor tech that has changed since release in 2015, I’m not qualified to comment. Maybe someday if it’s possible! Have a good one
Great test . At your test we can perfectly see that from canon 5dmk4 and on , all the FF canon cameras are flat and they cannot reproduce red colour correctly . in a few words they lost their pop up warm alive red colour as any other modern sensor does and this cannot be fixed by any editing ....
Hi Nik, I did edit the tree scene a bit flat to adjust for the high dynamic range of the scene. After owning a few different models, I can definitely say that I've not seen any consistent weaknesses with any one color in particular.
@@brianbeattyphotography so you think you can exactly reproduce the red colour from the R 5 as it looks from the 5dsr here ?

Sorry mate but it's impossible even with colour checker ..... Red gradations of canon 5dsr are untouchable by R5 which has a dead simulation of vibrant red colour of 5dmk3 and 5dsr
@@andreasd.barkas4845 It is an interesting comparison, I hadn't seen that before. If you scroll up slightly on that view to the orange and green colors, it looks like the R5 sensor is less saturated across the board. I'd have to do a direct comparison on my own to say either way.
@@brianbeattyphotography it;s not only saturated and more contrasted but the range of the deep red of 5drs cannot be reproduced by the newer sensors ....
Depends what raw converter is being used. Theres issues with CR 3 raw files and a certain very popular raw converter......that doesn't occur in the older cr2 files.....
I wish I could agree with this review. It shows a clear bias towards R5. Sorry.
In reality, R6 is a better camera in low light, ISO performance and video feature.
Haha ok. Well you’re welcome to do your own review then! If anything, I have a clear preference towards the 5dsr. IMO it’s the better image even though it has older tech. R5 has the best video for sure. And you’re right on ISO maybe, but definitely not on the video. Do some research there
R5 is the first camera that brought up the over-heating issue to light while recording videos. Am I right? I'm a hobbyist and stick to DSLRs. Not into videos. Not bothered by new tech. Just use my old horses happily. They do deliver what I want.
@@quazisanjeed6395 yep you're right. but the overheating issue is a bit over exaggerated in my opinion. It happens with the 8k recording, 120fps 4k, and sometimes the 4k HQ recording (which is basically the 8k then downsampled into 4k for clearer quality). I don't use the 8k, shoot my 4k in the HQ mode but typically in 1-2 minute bursts at most, and shoot the slow motion in 5-10 second bursts, so I've not even seen a warning. The regular 4k recording or photo mode do not trigger any overheating.
And I agree with you - if I didn't film video I would stick to the 5dsr! I like the optical viewfinder, sturdy built, and image just fine. There's also some unbelievable deals on the "older" EF lenses, which are still every bit as incredible as they were just a few years ago. I'm with you, not chasing new tech just for the sake of something new. I only put this up because I have the R5 for my video work and wanted to show that newer isn't necessarily better universally.
@@brianbeattyphotography agreed. I do not record videos. However, love those films that tell stories of nature in 15-30 minute episodes. No idea whether such videos are shot with R5 or A7SIII type cameras! Whatever tools are used, do understand it's an entirely different ball game than shooting stills. Can guess lots of activities are involved in turning out a quality documentary film.
Thank you for your inputs.
@@quazisanjeed6395 there's so many good video options now that it's really hard to tell. I am jealous of the A7SIII and ZV-E1 Sony cameras. They look absolutely awesome for video! My decision to go for the R5 despite it's limitations was based on the ideas that 1) I can use all of the lenses/batteries I already have, so no need to add new ones or carry more gear and 2) that if my 5DSR ever dies in the field (hopefully not!), then I can move over the R5 and get similar results. What DSLR are you still using?
pixel peeping is such a waste of time tbh, best review would be hearing from ergonomic experience.
You’re welcome to rent all 3 and make your own video!
