- I never normally review a camera to this level, but the R5 is so significant and packed with special features that I couldn't resist this time. Hope you find this helpful!

Video footage and pictures of the camera taken with a Sony a7R II, but all the sample pictures and video you see are of course taken with the Canon EOS R5, with Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART and 60-600mm SPORTS lenses adapted on.

I appreciate reviewers who actually USE cameras (for more than a few hours) before reviewing them
Same. If there's one thing I've learnt about Chris from his channel, other than that his wife loves him dearly (see the way she looks at him even with a camera in his hand) is that he's a stickler for thoroughness. He'd rather be last but with substance rather than first with nothing to say.
same - and "photographers" that actually use and review the camera for Photography aka Stills Photography and not Videography or Filmmaking, if i want to get top brass in cinecams i'd buy a RED ... but i want a compact STILLS camera and reviews that not only show the addon feature of being able to record video - but use it for its primary function - taking stills.
same here
I tested it at the Best Buy for 10 min before writing my review. 💪🏼
Enough R5 fake-overexcited reviews,its time for real review
Thanks Chris
I wonder why you have avoided Reviewing Cameras till now. Your Lens reviews are the best but this review is up there with the best camera reviews. I think you should start doing this more. AWESOME.
Thanks! The reason I avoid camera reviews is because they take me about four times longer to make than lens reviews, and I'm so pressed for time.
@@christopherfrost I understand. I have to say, your findings and observations are unique and add value even though there are many detailed reviews available, Drop these gems once in a while
@5:18 I thought that mirrorless cameras already had live DoF preview so I'm not sure why that button is needed.
@@Rollergold4 Canon cameras don't
@@christopherfrost It is a little obnoxious, but I think it's to give the sensor enough light for the autofocus to work well. Still, it would sure be nice to get away from this soon. Maybe with the R1?
Why don't camera companies send you the review units or you just purposely don't want to? I mean, you're the first guy on RUclips I would prefer for reviews.
The review we’ve ALLL been waiting for
I hear you. Tough to find a positive review.
There's a very good way to thank him for doing all this incredible work: by clicking on every single ad that you see on the channel :)
He can't say it, but he gets a ton of money if we do so.
Thanks mate! Keep up!
He's got a Patreon you can donate too. It's easier and can be a bigger monetary contribution than AdSense.
@@ej_tech I know, but not every one is willing to be a patreon. It costs nothing to add another click to your day :)
Nope, he won't get tons of money through ads. You'll have to have view up in the millions to have any significant income.
@@jan.tichavsky Full disclosure: I have so many reviews on RUclips now that advertising does make an income for me. But like everyone else - I have bills and a mortgage to pay, and a new family to take care of :-)
@@christopherfrost Just subbed to your Patreon Chris. I'm Unemployed so I'm only on the $2 tier but I just felt the need to support what I consider to be the best reviews not only in photography, but possibly in any genre.
I love your standardised testing format, the calm tone and subtle humour, the classic smooth jazz, and the constantly concise, earnest and both technical and artistic advice you add to your work. and then you test them on APSC/full frame/vice versa too?? I don't think I've ever bought a lens that you haven't tested.
Also love the addition of suggestions for alternative lenses / items if you see an issue thats resolved by a competitor. You should be immensely proud of your work. If only every product category had a Christopher Frost.
I just bought the R5, it rocks!! What blows my mind is that I spent a month or two watching RUclips videos and researching the camera and this video is just being recommended to me now! WTF RUclips?!?!?!? My favorite reviewer doing the best review of the R5 and I'm just seeing it now!!?? I watched it twice! Great job as always Chris! You nailed it exactly (and then some)! Best reviews on YT!!
Thank you Chris for the best R5 Review so far, I have watched almost 100+ reviews but found your review much more helpful then other
Beautiful review! Just thought I should mention that the 4K aps-c crop mode looks really good, and is downsampled from 5,1K. It also never overheats.
Nice. You managed to talk about two features i didn’t know were in the camera and i have had mine since august 1 and called myself reading the manual. Interesting to know there is yet another IS problem too with a lens i own, as well! Thanks for the review.
I've seen a lot reviews about this camera but this was one of the better ones. Your mastery of photography and tech details is so good that you don't have to try so hard like a lot of other reviewers. Instead, you just pointed out the key features and issues. Nice work! Can't wait to put this camera to the test. One question: do you notice any appreciable difference in the color of images straight out of this camera compared to the EOS R?
AllGoodThingsNetwork it is a little cooler. I have both
@@pianofinger I heard that in a different review on YT as well. I currently have both as well and need to test this out. Thanks.
I noticed my images were slightly more red in some situations
Mr. Frost, you are one of my favorite RUclips reviewers. Great job as always.
The dream camera, i´m saving money for the R6 it will be a real upgrade for me, canon has something really awesome in this cameras.
Most will choose R6, at least in Europe where price difference is 40% more that in US.
@@tkermi Woah.
@@Methodical2 Yeah, in US dollars R6 costs here $3435 and R5 $5750. So the price difference is $2315...
If you have to save to buy the camera that means you can’t really afford it.
@@Ishijah1 Or the person is just being responsible about how he/she uses money. Only quite few people have so much money that they don't need to give any thought about $2,5k ($3,4k in Europe) purchase.
I just love my R5 and RF lenses - Congratulations!
Chris, an excellent review as always. You have a beautiful backyard at 20:00. It reminds me of the good memories of my childhood.
Dear Chris, Your reviews are always matter-of-fact and focused. When I want to know more about a particular product I always check your review. Well done!
Chris, really nice review. Thank you for your work!
I really like this style of reviews where the focus is actually on the product.
Great review Christopher. You brought some new details to light for me like the softness when using the fully mechanical shutter and the 1/8 stop aperture increments. 👌
Did they fix the problem?
Thanks for the amazing review, been following you for many years now, very clear and concise, very pleasing review, your review gave me the confidence to finally sell my 5dmk4 and order the R5, really looking forward to using it for many years to come.
Excellent review, especially the way you handled the comparison of video modes.
Hey, Chris. Have I ever mentioned how I love your calm and well balanced reviews? Thanks for that. I am glad got the R5; not because you will be testing RF lenses, but because you are owning such a great camera. Enjoy!
Excellent review Christopher , many thanks
Hello, Christopher. Delighted to have discovered your videos via this outstanding and intelligent review of the R5, which I'm hoping to make my next EOS purchase. So many nuggets you point out which have added more conviction to that purchase. Among them, so happy to learn that Canon has graciously acknowledged the fact that occasionally we EOS shooters have occasionally chosen to purchase aftermarket lenses such as Sigma ART, by including optimization for such lenses. Also delighted to see demonstrated just how effective the IBIS is on the R5. This is such a USEFUL review, I plan to watch it again (as my birthday - READ: Excuse to purchase sooner rather than later - approaches). It is so welcome to view camera reviews that are reasoned and devoid of noisy hype. Also, I appreciated your good taste in your music background. Needless to say, I have subscribed, and will look forward to viewing more of your work.
Brilliant review Chris. So much detail in here. Could never justify buying one but it's certainly am amazing camera that I'm interested in learning more about. And great to see Aberporth getting a look in as well as Llangrennog!
Wow thanks for this! I learned more than a lot of more popular reviews especially about the battery! Thanks Christopher!
Great review. Thanks Christopher
One of the best reviews of the r5. Well done!
Fantastic review as always!
As I am waiting on my R5 to arrive I have watched a ton of videos on it. In that time I have gone from excited to disappointed to excited. Your review of this camera was what I was hoping for, well done!
Lucky to have had it for five weeks already! I placed an order over six weeks ago and it looks like it will be Oct or Nov at the earliest before I receive mine. Great review, as always.
Excellent. This was so helpful!
Excellent review, bring on more camera reviews.
Very useful review with helpful information, thanks a lot 🙏👍
You are one of my most favorite camera tech reviewer. You deserve more subscribers
I bought mine 3 weeks ago along with the F4.0 70-200mm and I have to say OMG. OMG what an amazing camera :)
Great review Christopher, thanks.
As always a balanced and fair review Chris - thank you 😎😎😎
Always thorough and to the point.
This is the best review I saw of this camera.
Thank you very much for another excellent review.
excellent in depth review, cheers!
Excellent review!!
Wow! The stabilisation for still photos looks amazing! Which is the biggest reason why I have one on order, so this was a very reassuring video :-)
Great review! Thank you 😃
Great job, Chris!!!
Thank you for another excellent review!
What a brilliant review. Thank you.
Nice review Christopher. And the background music has me feeling like I'm in an old restaurant waiting for my pot of tea. I need to spend more time taking photos, but the EF 50 f1.2 on this camera is amazing. In video, when recording in temps of 65F or lower, I can filled up 328 GB CF cards and not even get an overheat warning.
Such an INCREDILE review
A review of the R5 for stills? FINALLY!
So glad you go the R5, happy to see more rf lens reviews :)
I can't wait to test some lenses on that 45mp sensor :-)
@@christopherfrost can you predict if the lenses will perform better or worse on a 45MP sensor than on a smaller sensor? Or is it not possible to say than in general?
@@patrick.771 a bigger MP camera like the R5 will better review how sharp a lens really is, compared to say a smaller 20mp camera like the R6
patrick771 I have the R5 and the rf 28-70, 70-200 and the 85 1.2. They look so much better on the R5 then the R which I also still have as my second camera .
Just want to thank you for for making this informative videos.. i love watching it again and again evry episode.. its like watching netfilix series..👍
this was a really well done review. I have mine on order and am looking forward to it and converting my 5D Mark IV to a backup camera.
Great realistic review!
love your videos Chris. i have bought my lenses after watching your videos. i was planning on buying the R6. can you do a video on them as well?
Thanks for your detailed review!
I have been waiting for your review to judge if I want to consider this as my new camera. You can clearly notice the ammount of work that has been put into the video!
The thing I'm missing (even it's topic is maybe better off in a second video) is how the R5 works with older EF (and maybe even EF-S) lenses. As far as I know, both should work for this camera.
YEEESSSS!!! I’m going to love this video!
I have R5 for almost a month now Love it love it 😍
Welcome back to Canon! I was missing your channel :)
I never stopped testing Canon gear :-)
@@christopherfrost hmm as I'm following you since a long time, I noticed many Sony stuff and very few Canon these last times until the very last test of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS 'II' USM. That's why I'm glad of this R5 review (even if I stay with a 5D mark IV... maybe one day R series ?... I love DSLRs). Keep up the good job ;)
The old a7rii hold its own in the video department quite well....very surprising. It would be even better in Super35.
Yeah , not bad for a now 5 plus year old camera , the thing that comes to mind looking at all these camera reviews to me is that , all cameras have their strong and weak points , while it is easy to get carried away with the latest and greatest wizz bang models(and the grass is always greener .... ) , , if you have an old model that is still competent and with a good lens , you can still get great images and media .
I look at some of the good photo`s i have taken with my A73 , and i see no reason too spend 4 or 5 grand , or 6.5 grand in this case on another new camera body , and then a lens or two and in my region that in all honesty is only going to give very fractional improvement in image quality for the most part unless you are a pro or blowing up to poster size to sell or pixel peeping .
Bravo Christopher! Another excellent review. If you had it to do over again - this of the Sony A7R IV?
Christopher, as always your knowledge of the Canon camera menu systems is second to none.. A brilliant video, indeed...!!! No click bait here. LOL! Hopefully, you will be able to compare the R5 to the R6 in the near future. Thanks again..
THE BEST REVIEW FOR THIS CAMERA. PERIOD.
Hi Christopher, as usual a great review which I used to help me make a decision back in the day. I have had the R 5 for 2 years, I wonder if you feel an updated review maybe a good idea now, in view of all the firmware updates that have hopefully addressed many of the issues, particularly as this is still very much a current model?
This channel and camera conspiracies are the only review channels worth watching on RUclips.
Just a great review . THANK YOU Christopher. I was buying the NIKON Z 7 2, but a 6 week wait just didn't cut it for me. My Sony 7 R stopped working and needed a new camera. I went to Adorama and was ready to just buy the NIKON , and was browsing around the Canon counter. Picked up the camera just for fun, as the price tag was prohibitive, and fell for it because of the ergonomics. I was trading in a lot of my equipment so it ended up costing me $1400. I must say the pictures are amazing. NOTHING to correct boost or sharpen. WOW. There are a lot of buttons I need to learn and functions but a little patience anything can be done.
Finally.....!
Review from Chris ❤️
Superb vlog! Mines almost with me from Park also! 👌👍
Finally a proper review of the R5!
canon got to keep you you tubers happy !!!!
I’m saving for this camera can’t wait to mount it on the RF 28-70 !
Great review! Would love your review on he R6 as that is more the price point and mp size I was looking for.
Kudos for this very nice review, it went into some details that I found quite interesting. Such as the R5 suppporting corrections in the Sigma ART lens. This actually raised a question with me about what other third party lenses are supported, especially the Samyang 85mm f1.4 RF lens tested earlier on in this channel, which has caught my eye. I ordered an R6 and, assuming support for corrections is the same for both the R5 and R6, I wondered if it might be possible to test this, given that he Samyang RF lens is still around off-course. Thanks very much in any case.
Appreciate you compiling this. While i’d welcome trying some of these, i value weight and portability maybe more than others. So, when i owned Canon FF dslrs i really loved their ef 40mm f2.8. And having recently switching to Nikon when switching to mirrorless, i’m really looking forward to seeing some reviews of Nikon’s newly released 40mm f2.
Great review Chris! I think this will be my next camera when I finally get rid of the A7R2
I’m a metro Phoenix area native.. loving the ASU shirt... 👍👍👍
The video review is also good.
Great review and you covered all the bases as usual. It is funny that whilst some videographers are whining about the overheating (which for most people is really a non-issue), I agree with you that the standard 4K is disappointing in its quality. If Canon can improve that in firmware they really have the complete camera.
I so look forward to seeing reviews of the R5 as a stills camera. As always Chris your reviews are thorough and easy to understand. May I also say you remind me of Joaquin Phoenix.... with an English accent
Hi Chris, a great review of the R5. I had Canon gear, 7D II, 5DIV, 500 f4 II etc and had no problem moving to Panasonic G9 some two years ago. However the G9 is not a good wildlife camera that's why I am looking at the R5. One problem you mentioned, image blackout and a knocking sound, well I had this with the G9. It was the sensor/ibis which on the G9 is a combined unit and it was replaced under warranty. Some of the other problems you incurred will hopefully be improved with updated firmware.
Can't wait till I buy One looks brilliant
Best reviewer ever I like native speaker reviews
A very good detailed review and a good camera from Canon.
Finally, the best review of EOS R5.
There's no other camera in the world that i want more.
Best 👍 Review of this Canon R5 on RUclips and I've seen them all
I just ordered this camera cuz I wanted to get into mirrorless but not pay the super high end price of the R3. After I ordered it I went into watching reviews on it and when I came across your channel I remembered I watched a lot of your videos back when I bought my first camera. Especially the weather sealing was one of my points I wasn‘t too sure about from reading it up on the internet. Thanks for talking about it too! So from all I heard in your video I‘m even more excited to get it into my hands and I‘m sure it will be a major upgrade over my 90D I‘ve used for a couple years now. Can‘t wait! Edit: I read the overheating issue in 8K video shooting has been adressed in firmware. Is it a different story now?
Best reviewer ever in GB
A proper review. Thanks 👍👍👍.
Watching this review i guess CF is a photographer that does video as well which is like 90% of us and that's why we relate to his vids ..its seams 90% of youtubers are Videographers
Well they do make videos... but alas a lot of them just ride the overheating wagon for views.
Thanks for waiting a month to gather your thoughts for your review. I prefer this over straight-out-of-the-box type reviews, where the reviewers always seem overly excited and sometimes insincere. I think I'll be trading in my EOS R and buying an R5 to replace it, I'm so glad they got rid of the stupid multifunction bar and replaced it with a joystick! That was easily my biggest annoyance with the EOS R (I had a 5D MK2 prior to it). I'm mostly a stills shooter so the R5's shortcomings in video mode don't really affect me.
Finaly the best reviewer, reviewing the R5.
Really nice review. I gotta say this looks much nicer to use (ergonomically and with the menu/button layout) than with my sony a7rii, but way too expensive right now (but will be an interesting option in 3-4 years time when prices go down...)
Good overview thanks, would love to see some actual comparisons with your Z7 and Sony A7R
I love your lenses and photo gear reviews Christopher, thanks. If I ever buy something new in the future, I'll fully trust your reviews, for sure. A small question: what does it bring to use native RF lenses with an R5 instead of for example a Sigma lens with the EF adapter? Do you lose something with the EF adapter, such as aperture, light...?
Very nice review and excellent review of photography capabilities, especially by a reviewer with a surname I can identify with as my Dad was Jack Frost!
Thank you Christopher for all the wonderful reviews and information over the years. Your work has guided me in most of my gear purchases. I am based in Costa Rica and shoot mostly nature and landscapes... mostly birds, small mammals and reptiles. My current rig is a Canon 7D MK ii with lenses that cover 18mm through 400mm with a Tamron g2 70-200 f2.8 as my main lens. My question is, do you know of any fast, sharp lenses that will breath new life into my trusty old 7D MK ii specifically? The Canon R5 is truly a great camera but price is prohibitive for me. God bless and keep you !
This is a fantastic review, thank you so much for doing it.
One thing that excites me is the possibility of using HEIF image format (which should allow some limited editing out of camera compared to JPEG). I'm wondering if it might unlock a more mobile workflow, with RAW reserved for backup purposes.
Have you had an opportunity to experiment with them?
Such a great review. I'm still waiting for my camera. How well do the Sigma lenses do with the camera and adapter for photography? I might have missed it in the video.
I've been using a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens adapted on and for stills and videos it's absolutely fantastic
Canon showed this in stock on thier website today so I ordered it. We'll see when it shows up.
