- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2023
- Is the Canon R5 still going to remain on top in 2023?! We'll just have to see what comes this year from Canon, and in the meantime, let's talk about just how amazing this camera is. In this video, I discuss my hands on experience with the Canon R5 since it was released back in 2020. I also cover a few more price friendly but comparable options provided by Canon, and whether you should invest in the Canon R5 in 2023.

I just bought R5 and 28-70 F2 lens I just love it.
Really enjoyed your long term R5 review Jay. I started shooting film in 1967 and digital in 2003 and while nothing has changed on the interaction between , ISO , aperture and shutter speed between 1967 and now my R5 is like something from science fiction which I couldn’t even have imagined back then, hell I was shooting movies on my dads clockwork 8mm Filmo Sportser . Photoshop, video editing bloody brilliant compared to the chemicals and glueing film together !! I’m retired and after 56 years still enjoy the whole process as much as I did back then, I hope you do when you are my age ! I have the R7 as my number2 body. Cheers from New Zealand BTW R5’s are US$ 4100 here body only including all taxes.
Chris, thank you so much for sharing about your journey in the industry! That’s super fascinating to me, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone that processed film prior to the digital development of cameras and editing! So much work that goes into that process, and you have to absolutely love it to stick with it that long!
I’m in love with this field of work and currently can’t imagine what retirement would even look like without a camera ;) thanks for the kind words Chris!
I just discovered your channel, and subscribed. I haven't done photography for 40 years, everything has changed, so I will buy a new camera soon. Still photography/portrait type is what I will be doing. My budget is limited, so I will keep learning which camera is best for my type of photography. I enjoy your review very much.
Yup. I’m getting an R5. You just sold me. And the quality of your videos are insane! Gained a subscriber.
Hey brother I'm stoked for you! Glad to help provide some input on your new camera. You'll have to tell me all about your experience once it's in man!
This was a great video. First time watching your vids. Great flow. I love my R5 I upgraded from the RP which is actually great being a full frame camera at that price point.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Stoked you’re loving your r5 as well man!
Here you go, another mile stone toward this 1000 subs goal ! thank you for the great content. I have always been a canon shooter, I am taking my business really seriously this year and both my technical level and clients have outgrown my beloved RP. I am super struggling between the SonY R 3 and the canon R 5 (both second hands) and I think you might be the last drop that put the scale toward the canon direction
Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words, and I love hearing stories like yours! Good for you for keeping your head down and grinding towards your goals! Both Sony and Canon have great options no doubt, but I definitely lean towards Canon :) best of luck with your business ventures!
@@Jay_Fritts Thank you Jay !
Good video. I liked your down-to-earth approach. I've been using my R5 exclusively for stills, so I haven't encountered any of the issues you mentioned. I think I have the best camera system for my use.
Hey Kevin, thank you so much man! I don’t want to seems salesy in these videos because these are all genuine personal suggestions based on my experiences! And I’m stoked you haven’t had any issues! I haven’t had many issues with primarily shooting stills, however in the earliest stages of the r5 being released, the camera would get pretty dang hot when solely photographing stills at full res in RAW… glad that doesn’t happen any more though!
Great video. Some beautiful images. I’ve just bought a cheap used r7 and am blown away by it. But used r5s are definite contenders now.
That's awesome to hear! I've wondered how the R7 series performs... What are your favorite features about it?
@@Jay_Fritts in no particular order. Great autofocus, ibis, great battery life, sensor cover on power down, three custom functions unique to video and photo, two slots (not bothered about redundancy but one card photo, one video). Very very customisable. Photos look as good as they’ve always looked but the video looks so good. £1100 just can’t be touched by the competition. I’ve got a speedbooster a meike nd ef mount and a standard canon (wish I’d seen the meike control ring for the same price). I’ve got a sigma fp (£900) great for money shots and the r7 to just grab everything without having to concentrate too much. Just avoid the highlights and raise shadows in post. You can make it look as good as anything just by using it sensibly. Got a sigma art 30 1.4 on it mostly and an old ef 24-85 3.5-4.5. Oh and an efs 55-250 with silent autofocus and crazy light for its reach. Oh wait. The feel and weight of the camera is perfect. Oh and customisable zebras work great too. Have them toggled on the front button. That’s enough for now lol.
@@rolyoliver thanks for all the info man! That sounds like a stacked camera! And you cannot go wrong with Sigma lenses 🙌🏼 they tend to be my favorite manufacturer for quality and affordable glass!
Just got it couple days ago. I love the customization options. This is my 2nd body after R6. Love both, but R5 is just truly better.
I just traded in my three year old R6. I’m expanding into wildlife and birding photography. The R5 is the perfect camera for this. It excels in areas the R5 can’t touch.
Good reviee, 👍 may I ask what rig / bracket on R5 ? Thnks
Really nice video!! 👌 can you please let me know what is the exact model of the cage?
Good point about C70 tracking, also the C70 screen feels like it’s gonna fell off every time you tap on it. I prefer the r5 screen.
I totally agree about the screen! However, I am very happy with the screens image quality!
Great review! have the R5 and love it. Best camera I've ever owned. Such a Swiss army knife camera. Buck knives and eagles! Think we live in the same neighborhood. Peace!
One big difference you missed between the R6 and the R5 is that the R5 is twice as fast in terms of the readout speed, hence better rolling shutter. One of the main reasons why i switched to the R5 (they improved it on the R6 Ii). The R6 rolling shutter is noticeably worse in 24 and 30fps in 4K.
That's a great point! I was unaware of that difference, however it makes sense! I have never used the R6 hands on, so I haven't been able to compare features like rolling shutter!
The canon R5 will not overheat shooting stills 100% never, it’s a warning light that tells you that you could overheat if you switch to video mode that’s it. I had the light come on once and it did worry me but you can switch that light to show only for video mode no one likes looking at a warning flash while shooting. I repeat the canon R5 will never overheat in stills mode.
I really wish Canon would make dedicated Stills Cameras - I absolutely don't care about film, never have, never will.
Been shooting Canon since the 70's and have quite the collection of FD lenses, which led me to Sony's mirrorless A7R series body...this got me spoiled with the lightness when hiking. The FD lenses perform really well on the digital body with a simple adapter. On the digital side, I went from the 5D2 to the 5D4, using Canon's 'L' lenses. The 5D4 and L bracket started to get heavy towards the end of my recent Yellowstone trip. Just picked up an R5 on the used market along with the EF/R adapter ring...didn't plan on buying into the 'R' lenses since I'm looking to retire. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Question on the Smallrig...does it allow for portrait orientation in an Arca-Swiss clamp? I didn't notice a full dovetail on the vertical face of the Smallrig.
Thanks for the backstory on your career in photography!! So cool to hear about! 😃 I’ll link a similar cage to what I have that has a slightly wider vertical mount, but I’m not sure if they have one with a much wider vertical frame just for sake of interfering with the cameras ergonomics… but maybe you can get a better look from the pictures they provide!

Here is my delema... Wait for the Canon R5 MkII or go with the Sony A7R5
I have been rocking my Canon 7Dmkii for a long time and i am finally looking to upgrade to a full frame mirrorless camera. I'm not committed to brands as I only have a few EF-s lenses for my 7D2, so switching to Sony wouldn't be detrimental to me. I want a full frame mirrorless camera with all the bells and whistles and something that has great dynamic range/ high resolution, and great low light abilities. Ill be using it for hybrid shooting, so 50/50 with stills and video. Im shoot mostly landscape and astrophotography/low light street photography. As well as video. I have no budget limit as ive been saving up for a looong time. I've used the canon R5 and loved it, But i have a buddy that has a sony a7r5 and I also loved it! With the parameters provided above, do you think I should buy the Sony a7r5 now or wait to see what the Canon R5Mkii will be? What ecosystem should I go with? Any personal incite would be appreciated. Cheers!
Hey man! Love all the details, thanks for sharing! You bring up a lot of good points and to be honest, you wouldn’t go wrong either way! I am someone that used to run a mirrorless Sony as my primary camera back when Canon wasn’t releasing many video centric cameras, and I really enjoyed the Sony! (It was a Sony a6500)
I ultimately hung on to Canon because I always wanted a 1DX II or a Canon 5DIV… eventually I got the 5DIV and I fell in love with the camera and it solidified my decision to stick with Canon, even though it’s video specs weren’t quite up to par. Since then, with the r5, c70, r6II, r8, etc. Canon is showing a lot of hybrid focus, and I’m really excited to see what the r1 brings.
One thing I will say about your situation is that you’re shooting a lot of low light and street photography which is where Sony rains supreme! For Landscape I prefer Canon but that’s just my preference. Honestly Sony and Canon are so similar nowadays, it’s up to your opinion on which interface you prefer, and I personally have always liked Canon’s interface more than Sony’s! Hopefully this helped 😂🙌🏼
Does R5 still overheat in 4K60 mode?? Looking to upgrade but I need that 4K60 (shooting 3-4 straight minutes and 1-2 break between recs. Also I live in Greece where in summer season the temp is 35°C)
Hey! Great question. I do notice the camera getting warm when I’m shooting nonstop in the heat, however I always shoot 4K in either 24, 60, or 120 and I haven’t had overheating issues in the last year(ish) since their firmware update that helped resolve the overheating. If you’re primarily focused on video, and don’t mind giving up in body stabilization, the R5C would give you more peace of mind!
nice review man. i am. considering between a R5 or r6 mkii for hybrid wedding coverage. currently using a r6. as solid as a photo cam it lacks as a video cam.
Thank you brother! Either should work great. I had a friend who also films weddings, who was using the r6 and it overheated on him during the reception lol! That's why it was a no brainer to pick up the R5. However, the R6 II looks super impressive, and with the latest firmware, I assume it should have no issues with weddings at all!
I upgraded from r6 to r6II for weddings and when it comes to hybrid coverage there is a big difference, switching between photo and video is fast, and you have now separate custom settings plus the r6II doesn’t overheat.
I bought an R6 and then quickly sold it in favor of the R5. Does the R6II allow for saving photography and video settings separately like the R5 does? That is a great and important feature on the R5 that I would not want to be without. Also, the 45MP is nice for certain types of photography where cropping ability is important. I am very happy with the R5, and I expect to keep this camera for a long time.
You and me both man! That's a great question about the R6II... I should be getting my hands on one soon, and if so I will mention that in any reviews I do :) Also I am a huge fan of higher megapixels...
Yes, you can save your photo and video settings separately with R6 II
I'm waiting for the Canon R5mkii. We shall see!
Hey, nothing wrong with that at all! I heard that may be a spicy option... honestly I would heavily consider it, but I'm gonna hold out for the flagship to see what all Canon has been up to ;)
@Jay Fritts - ultimately, it's going to come down to price. If it's prerry close to the current R5, I'm definitely looking at it. If not, hey, the R5 is still an option. I am looking to level up my Real Estate Photography and video and get back into wildlife and landscapes. It seems like the perfect camera for the money.
Man! This video was so crisp!! Makes me want to get the C70. I'm torn between the R5C, and R3. I already own the R5 and R6.
What are your thought on the R5C? Thanks for the video btw, I'm glad I came across you work. So clean. Gives me inspiration for sure.
Thank you! In my opinion there aren’t many benefits to the R5C from the R5 aside from no record time limit, and no stabilization which helps depending on your style… personally I prefer the r5 although my eyes are set on the future R1 ;)
Hi, I actually just bought a Canon EOS R5, and noticed noise on the photos.
I am using ISO not more than 400. Is it something to do with my lens? I am using my EF LENS 85mm 1.2
I, now, try to avoid using higher aperture like 1.2 or 1.4 as when I take photos, the part that is not in focus produce more noise. I am wondering what causes it to produce noise. I felt bad about the fact that I spent more than 6k including insurance for such a very expensive camera and then ended up getting noise on my photos. Soooo, I don’t know what’s going on there. Do you have any idea why Canon R5 produce noise. Thank you so much, your response will be greatly appreciated. 😊
Hey! That’s a great question and I’m sorry that you’re dealing with such an annoying issue! I actually of the same EF 85mm f1.2, and have paired it with my R5 many times! I’ve never noticed a tremendous amount of noise on that setup, so I’m not sure what could be causing it… especially with a lower ISO, as I’ve pushed that lens past 800 ISO and haven’t noticed extreme grain. I wish I could be more help, but I would recommend calling Canon directly and talking with their tech support! If you aren’t noticing that with any other lenses, I imagine it’s a lens issue… if it’s with other lenses too, then I assume it could either be something with the camera or the settings!
yeap i'm gonna buy R5 in 2024 😉
Hi I got this camera, went to an event last week and it overheats just taking stills, this really worry me
Hey Beatriz! Are you on the latest firmware update?? My R5 used to get a bit toasty while taking lots of stills, however, they had a firmware update like 7-8 months ago that helped a ton!
The R5 Mark II might come soon, so I´m just gonna wait for that one and see, and if it does not cost two legs and a kidney, I´ll buy it.
It will cost two arms and two kidneys.
r5 was heavy discounted in my country in november so i went for it. no regrets its crazy good
2024 maybe
Most likely coming out 2024 hey 😭
Coming in 2024 and then it takes another half year to get it after preorder 😅
I’m waiting for the Mark 2 😢
what is that lens over there on the far right, I don't recognize it?
That’s the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens! I actually shared a review on it very recently, so you should check it out! It’s one of my all time favorite lenses.
@@Jay_Fritts Thanks, I actually checked out your videos and watched it a little while after this one. But thanks for following up to a comment on an old video. I've been thinking about getting something in that range, but I am a little worried about using it with the adapter. My old trusted 70-200/2.8 is a tiny bit loose in mine. While all my new RFs are rock solid. Also a big fan of the R5 here! Great work on the video!
@@scienceandmathHandle oh sweet man! Of course brother! Sorry for the delayed response, and in my experience with the r5, it works great! Definitely wish it was native rf, but sadly I don’t think we’ll see third party lenses for the rf system for at least another year… thanks so much man! That means a lot :)
@@Jay_Fritts Thanks man, yea I think I'll get one. I used to live in CDA, I bet you're loving living there, it was such a cool place. I used to work with a guy that anodized all buck knives blades, they seemed like they were a cool company!
@@scienceandmathHandle dude that’s so sick, no kidding?! CDA is such a stunning area no doubt! Where did you end up moving to if you don’t mind me asking?!
Yes, it’s a fantastic company. Easily the best team I’ve worked with in my professional career!
Well... the R3 has a better EVF, better LCD, better IBIS, better autofocus, way faster readout, better low-light performance, better dynamic range, better color depth, has a durable metal frame, better weather sealing, way larger battery, faster frame rate, faster computer, much better control layout for programming custom buttons... but, sure, maybe the R5 is the best.
Glenna got her feelings hurt and became emotional.
You don't mention 8K?
What am I missing? I doubt your overlooking it.
❤
What lens are you using to photograph eagles?
The Sigma 150-600mm contemporary lens, adapted with a canon ef to rf adapter! I actually posted a video on the lens very recently, so you should check it out!
@@Jay_Fritts Will do! Thanks!!!
I think the Lumix S5 mark ii has something to say about this...
That definitely looks like an impressive camera! I remember obsessing about the Lumix GH-5 like 5 years ago haha. I haven't been hands on with their latest cameras, but that would be a fun comparison for sure!
Nobody gives a crap about lumix cameras 😂
Somewhat doubtful that an R5 MK II will be released this year. The R3, R5 and R5C are still great cameras in an already oversaturated market.
There had been rumours of an R7C… and then nothing happened.
R5 MK II is rumored Q2 of 2023! Hopefully it's asap, Debating on buying the R5 but don't want to buy it just to have the MK II release shortly after.
We'll just have to see! Canon tends to be late to their own game so you may be right lol
@@tophmedia I would wait if I were you! (Unless you need it for jobs or projects asap!)
Actually the C70 does shoot Photos...12 megapixels
Good health! I completely agree with you, it's an excellent and technological camera and it's a pleasure to shoot with it. But when paying for labor in Putin's Russia for a working 5-day month of $ 380, how long will it take to accumulate on R5? Be kind !
10 months...
No the r3 the best
WAHTS GOOD MAN I LIKE UR CONTENT U WILL HIT THE 10K SUBS FOR SURE WE SHOULD LINK ON SOME WORK I NEED SOME STUFF DONE FOR MY DAUGHTERS RUclips
AYEEEE! Haha, thank you so much brother! I really appreciate the positivity and support!
Ur on the fritz the r5 is old af
HAHAHA! Hey I’m glad you’re stoked about that camera! I’m a fan of having more room for crop, and a nicer price point with the r5 ;) I’d rather wait for the R1!
Nope, the R3 is really a better camera than this.
Debatable ;) I haven't used the R3 so I can't speak from hands on experience, however I was obsessed with the idea of the R3 until I realized it's just an overpriced Canon R6 with a built in battery grip and faster shooting speeds... I see value in the unreleased R1, but honestly I feel the R3 let me down a bit because their primary selling features were the different autofocus tracking modes (vehicles, animals, people, etc.) But now the R5 even has those features from just a firmware update. Glad you like it though man!
@@Jay_Fritts the R3 has far better DR and high ISO performance than the R6 (or R6 II). I'd rate the R3 over the R5 or R6/II unless you really require mega pixels and crop heavy. If you shoot sports or wildlife, the rolling shutter of the R5/6 is well...annoying AF.
@@davepastern that’s very interesting! Do you know the dynamic range difference in stops between the r3 and r5?? I will say, in my personal workflow I utilize the larger megapixels all the time, especially for wildlife and product work! Reframing an image is huge for me, and I’ve tried the workflow of enlarging images from smaller sensor cameras, but the extra workflow can become a hassle in bulk. Just my experience from my use! I’d love to try out the r3 thought to see how I like it!
@@Jay_Fritts probably a stip
@@Jay_Fritts IMHO, about a stop DR between the 2 cameras. Part of that will be due to the larger pixel sizes, and part of it will be due to the stacked BSI sensor design of the R3.
