I liked the 16 mm lens footage very good compared to the 15 35 (the edges) but.. (am a photographer not into videos) for practical use the latter is so much better and it has a range and sharpness as well.. I have managed well with 24-70 and 70-200 both 2.8 till now. Thank you for making this video, it is a big investment and I could make up my mind to make the purchase… finally.. thank you once again 🙂

I have a new EOS 8 but dont have the the release shutter without lens in my menu. only release shutter without card

Very helpful video, thank you!

Hi Vasko. I haven't even watched this before I got my used EOS R last week, but I fully agree with everything you said on this video about EOS R. I sold most of my old EF gear along with half of my pristine primes to get mine with 30k shutter count. But boy do I love it. I haven't been taking much photos lately. With a toddler, it is hard to pick up my 6D on the go. I just use my phone, because it is just there, in my pocket, 100% of the time. And to be honest, phone cameras have come a long way since I got my 6D (mark 1) some many years ago. But in the meanwhile, all my camera gears in the bag was just sitting there gathering dust. So I thought it was time I got myself a new camera. I've been looking at EOS R10 for a long time, very affordable, compact enough to be carried everywhere, has super fast autofocus and continuous shooting. I tossed between R10 and a secondhand 6D II for obvious reasons (which by the way, is not easy to come by or cheap by any means). I have very briefly thought about getting R7 instead of R10, which looked really good in paper, and then stumbled upon the full frame R8. And that's where EOS R came in. I just couldn't go to R7, for the crop factor, as all my EF lenses (or what's left of it now), was suited for full frame focal length. And R8's poor battery meant that it wasn't really suited for me on the go. Oh, talking about the battery life though, do you know what I also love about EOS R? It's the battery. I can use my old batteries from 6D on it, which saves me hundreds of dollars on buying new extra batteries of EOS R10 or R8. I remember when EOS R first came out back in 2018, it was NOT a camera people raved about in anyway. It was the single memory card slot, the multifunction slide button thingy (as opposed to a joystick), the autofocus (since improved with firmware update, I hear) etc etc. I certainly wasn't interested in buying one then. But in 2024, 5D IV sensor and the eye detect dual pixel autofocus at a very 'affordable' price (second hand) is surprisingly very attractive all of a sudden. I love how it feels on my hand, I love the touch screen, I love that literally all the buttons can be customised. I have only had EOS R for just a few days, and haven't even had a chance to take it out on a shoot, but I am hoping it will spark a new light in me to want to go out and take more photos of my extremely fast growing toddler. By the way, if you must know, I sold Canon 24mm II f/1.4, Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4, Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4, among few others to get my hands on EOS R. I kept all my EF zoom lenses Canon 17-40mm f/4, Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8, Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 And just ONE prime lens remains with me now, Canon 85mm f/1.2 (mark 1) - I loved this lens so much back in the days, I just couldn't part with it, and I am glad I didn't. It somehow seems to focus better, more accurately, faster than I remember with 6D. I know, I shouldn't have sold all those primes, because I absolutely love them all still, but with a toddler, I just can't justify going out with a suitcase full of lenses, and if I am going to go out, I will not be going out with a single 35mm lens on the body, or even two lenses, 24mm and 50mm, because it will take me too long to change the lens, I will miss the shot. I will choose 24-70 f/2.8 any day for it's versatility. Love your work. Keep making these great videos. Just about to check out your EOS R menu settings video from a year ago, although, I have already watched someone else's earlier in the week (that's how KZbin generated an algorithm and directed me to your videos) and I think I have it set up to my liking now, but you never know what you don't know. So, see you in your next video.

Just opened the box! Ha firmware what's firmware so just done thanks for that info. I wanted to set up and not worry so thank you for this. By the way I updated to firmware 20. Just watched your video on back button too. Your amazing!!!!!!!

This is the best "Update Firmware tutorial" video I ever watched. Thanks.

Very good video. You have posted many settings videos. They are great. Can you share your CSD files with these settings without your name and copyright info? That would be great.

No battery charger is absolutely ridiculous

After today: no r5ii. KZbinrs are not good with thier rumors.

My question is, when you upload the settings, do you have to use that particular card or can you upload the settings, take the card out and use another card?

Thanks for watching. For any photographers in the Toronto area, I'll be selling the X100V once I'm done comparing these two cameras. I'll post the sale on my Instagram. Sample photos and more X100VI content on the blog www.vaskoobscura.com/blog/fujifilm-x100vi-first-impressions-video

who are you?

Sony shooter here, extremely jelly of this lens offering 🤣

The 2006 is the last time I’ve seen this lens. Thank you for letting me know there’s an updated one!

I have one on order but I haven't seen this video yet! Did I screw up? 😂

nope for that price it is not sharp enough sorry , im an old film trained shooter and i consider it lousy that a over 1000€ lens gets easily outperformed by most vintage manual lenses with an adapter. plus we never really cared about bokeh back then , out of focus will happen anyway ,that bokeh fixation with low image quality was a good excuse to hide the bad quality from the first digital cameras with artistic reason.🥴

I'm coming here after looking for X100VI accessories (it's backordered as expected, might as well do some research, right?) and I'm glad this video was recommended - your views on accessories are very practical and insightful. I'm coming from a full-body, heavy-ass DSLR and I thought a smaller form, single-lens camera would get me back into my hobby. The only accessories I've really used for my DSLR were a remote trigger, filters, and tripods (if you consider those accessories lol). Seeing different kinds and _knowing_ how to use them by watching your review lets me better discern what things are needed/not needed and why. thanks!

Thank you, solved my problem

Is this good with the Canon R8?

Great tutorial but one question which you sort of covered. I am looking to upgrade to the R5 and as a photographer I have a habit of changing lenses lol so does the R5 automactially close the sensor when you remove a lens or do you have to turn it off change the lens and then power back on. When I was researching the R it did this which for me would be a great feature for a lens changer like me. Came across your channel a couple of days ago love all the content as you get right into expaining things and one can tell that you really love photography. Cheers

Hunt down the Sears Auto EE 50mm f1.4 next, it has a domed out curved rear glass. It's the lens that came with the SEARS AUTO TLS camera. I got lucky on FB marketplace Auto TLS, Sears Auto EE 50mm f1.4, Auto Sears 35mm f2.8, + Auto Sear Tele-Zoom 90-230mm f4.5 for $60 and they are all in mint almost brand new condition, even the leather cases still has the silica gel in cloth bags. I have out of camera test clip of the Sears Auto EE 50mm if you want to check that out.

advancements is dealing with heat is critical for me ai am glad to hear that , I'm guessing that they have made an. effort to do meaningful work in this area, that would be significant to build in ventilation and a fan into grip , the other deal breaker for me is high res mode/pixel shift , which would be 45 x 4

So now we are in 2024 New model is coming but I am bit low on budget Does R5 still worth to buy ?

How long does charge last on full? Not very user friendly that light has to be turned off to charge?

are there any differences between EF and RF? I have full frame dslr and I found EF version for a good price so I'm asking if it would be good purchase

Almost made this mistake if I hadn't watched a video from Retro Foto House but even then it wasn't the highlighted topic. I'm glad there's actually a video dedicated to this topic. Saves a lot of time and money, thank you!

i bought r62 to upgrade my eos r，then i compared this two cams image quality ，i couldn't tell the difference.But i am going to take pics for my children, eos r 's afc system always lost focus，R62 seems much more reliable. thx for yr vid.

I like the Messier book.

Thanks for showing love, to the R!

Very cool video, I have my r6 M2 coming tomorrow, and I have looked at this lens for doing astrophotography would you say it would be good for that?

Instead of rehashing the same old rumors, how about just waiting until the actual camera appears on scene and give a review of what it actually can or can not do.

Great video fam. Thank you from Nc

I have a question for you about R5 ! Why I’m struggling with r5 4K HQ fine ALL-1 files during editing ? 20 minutes long video generates almost 700gb cache after rendering in Davinci Resolve on iMac 2019. It takes me 7 hours to render and then 5 hours to deliver the final colour graded file ( on 20 minutes long video) Are you facing the same issue ? This is a total nightmare for me

I'm almost tempted to keep my 500 f/4L IS II and get the R5II. Sony isn't rel;easing a stacked sensor A7R anytime soon or a 500 f/4 and A1 looks very poor value since Z9 and Z8 came out.

Stacked sensor means faster readout speed and faster flash sync. Surely you'd prefer to have 1/250+ flash sync in e-shutter than noisy mechanical shutter?

Would this be the same way for the canon m6 markII ?

It should have a much higher flash sync speed I believe in electronic. I might not upgrade without a tilty screen feature.

That sensor had better not have any discernible rolling shutter. I don’t get why canon would include a mechanical shutter, as Nikon did not i. the z9 and z8. Why is it needed? Some of those other features sound cool but I won’t believe any of that until Canon announces it. As a wildlife shooter, I will definitely be upgrading if Canon brings the good stuff I want. I hate how the upgrade cycles has up in front for a while and then behind for a while relatively to others. I guess that’s just how it goes.

Isn't vibration exactly what you want to avoid by using an electronic shutter? It sounds counter intuitive to introduce vibration just to give you a feedback. I do not really care so much about a fast readout, but if it is a BSI sensor, that improves the dynamic range a lot. The R5 has some colour shifts that the R3 has not. For example if you recover shadows at higher ISO.

I won't be getting the R5 MK II, what I will be doing is monitoring the original R5 second hand price when hopefully loads come on the market. I'm still on my original EOS-R, and love it, so hopefully the R5 will drop in price, a lot!

The new R5 II looks interesting. Right now I’m deciding on whether to get the current model or wait for the upgrade. I don’t need it for video as much. Shooting portraits, products and property. Slowly moving from large inventory of EF gear.

Of course these are just rumours hopefully the Canon R5 Mark II has more exciting specs. What do you think of the rumored specs? I'll be preordering the R5mkII and making videos about it on my channel. If you want to see some hands on content hit that subscribe button. Less than 2 months to go!

Another fake video on youtube , as you cannot verify the real specs or truth.

I just want that sync speed that the R1 is rumored to have. Other than that, I'm happy with my current R5.

There's a reason why Canon is constantly losing market share to Sony... @Canon: keep ignoring your customers, see where that takes you 🤦‍♂

Best review. R5ii a trivial upgrade, so I’m now sticking with my R5 and ignoring all reviews and speculations of the R5ii It’s not going to make a blind bit of difference to me except being left behind but I’ll wait for the iii or go for a R3/1 eventually.

Hi Vasko. I really like the look you on the street shots with the deeper green foliage. I find the R5 colours really muted when it comes to green foliage so I’m always looking for ways to make them more vibrant and richer. Is this due to your pre-set as well as your stacked filters? And are you still working on the pre-set?

This lens looks almost like new. May I know the approximate price ?
