Looks like an amazing lens, but for field sports 300mm is short. I would guess 90% of your photos will be at 300mm. I shoot with the 200-400 f4 and find that I'm shooting at 400mm for 60-70% of my keepers

Conrad would like to buy my barely used camera?

Thank you for the video, the question is: RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM or RF400mm F2.8 L IS USM? Has anyone tried both of them for sport photography?

Great post for nature photography enthusiasts! To make it even more engaging, you could consider adding a specific example of a camera or lens that's particularly well-suited for wildlife shots. Also, mentioning a tip or two for capturing wildlife in action might be helpful for beginners. Keep inspiring outdoor photographers!

Well done Morné !!!!! Proud proud proud 🥳👏🏼

Congratulations Morne! Great work Omar and Nolo too (hope I got your names right!) Thanks ODP for giving us the opportunity to create and I can't wait to pick up my Tilta voucher 😉😜

Thank you so much to Outdoor Photo, Nikon, and everyone involved for this INCREDIBLE opportunity! I had so much fun filming and editing this submission! I am so grateful, and cannot wait to create amazing content with this fabulous camera.🥳 Once again, thank you!

Is there a place where we can view all the entries?

Great ad🎉

Picking up my R5 Mk II tomorrow. Your comments on the SD Cards....... I will be buying the SDXC UHS-II Cards 128 GB Thank you for an early insight it certainly is going to help me. Would it not be possible to use say C3 for Pre Shooting ON then switch back to your normal preferred mode with it OFF Have subscribed and look forward to more content.

excellent explanation of this camera. Many Thanks

Thank you for the review. Looks like a very solid camera. I will be setting precapture to one of the custom shooting modes. As a wildlife photographer I see precapture being very useful. I will also set the frame rate to 20 fps and 30 fps. 30 fps for maximum speed and 20 fps for a longer time before the buffer fills.

The most badest Video on KZbin!!!! 🤦🏼‍♂️👎👎👎

Thanks Gunther, ecxellent video with an in depth description of the new R5 II. Much appreciated!

Looks like another home run from canon ,despite the naysayers. Personally I am disappointed that there are no zebras for stills, as far as I can work out, it really is a revolutionary way of judging exposure, and like a histogram on steroids.

A short cut to Pre-Capture would be to set it turned on to you C3 custom function options until Canon comes with a firmware solution to add a dedicated button. Thanks 😊

How did you manage to stay there at night

Thank you for the thorough review. It answers many questions as I preordered the R5 mkII. I wonder if the number of shots in pre-continuous shooting could be limited on purpose, just like it can for continuous shooting? It would certainly limit data card consumption. I also wonder if C1, C2 and C3 can be set up with the pre-continuous shooting being on or off for each case. Did you change your mind about some button presets after you used the camera?

Your audio is clipping

I may go pickup mine on Tuesday. Interesting how she’s wearing her mask 😂

How is weather proofing with this cooling vents? Still safe to use in rain?

BG-R20 is compatible with R5, R6, R6 Mark II. Could you check if BG-R10 works with R5 mark ii

Thanks for including the sample files!

Hello, the R5 II has an integral GPS or not?

Agree that they need to come up with a quick way to turn pre-capture on and off. In addition, a way to set the number of photos taken rather than a simple 1/2s should be in the works as well.

Sound quality seems to be off in the video. It's peaking a lot.

did you edit the horse riding photos?

Like if you’re watching this, but already ordered your R5 mk II 🥰

My dream camera 📸

Thanks for the thorough review and the link. To the samples. Much Appreciated 👍

I would prefer the on/off switch swapped places with the photo/video switch

Thanks for this exhaustive review! You're not the only one complaining about the inability to program pre-capture to a button. The R8 has it so hopefully they do add it to firmware. Super impressive tracking that goose. Hopefully it can track small birds in branches better than the original!

This is what I wanted to hear. I'll grab one to go with the C400 I have coming. Hands on knowledge. I see so many KZbinrs talking smack about specs and they NEVER even shot with it. Damn that burns me.

Excellent review. Live in the UK, but born in Johannesburg and return quite often for holidays. I read elsewhere a suggestion to use a custom (C1 etc) profile, one with pre-continuous shooting enabled and another without as a workaround. That can then, I presume, be changed via a custom button assignment.

You REALLY want to check out your audio settings. It's severely clipping. The Rode Wireless Go II withstands far higher audio levels so surely the mike itself isn't a problem. Are you sure you haven't bumped the volumne too much in post?

Thank you for this. Any thoughts how this compared to the R5 with respect to noise, DR and sharpness? What about the blacks and contrasts, they seem more pronounced in the images?

With the vertical grip, the extra batteries, cf express cards, external hard drives…..talking about 5500USD…not sure I am willing to shell out all of that, I am happy with my R3…who knows….enjoy

Ewww the sound is hurting my ears 🥴 too muffled and echoey

Do you get 1 or 2 batteries when you buy the standard vertical grip … great summary 👏

hi Gunther thanks for your video until a firmware update fixes the " no shortcut for pre capture"...is it possible to include it in a C mode ?

I have pre-ordered & can't wait to get te

Nice video. When you press video recoding button In photo mode, does it still record video in C3 setting?

Wow, not sure what I’m doing differently, but my R8 has no lag whatsoever. Thanks for your review.

First 😊

Curious, what brand shirt are you wearing? Look very versatile for changing weather.

An event not to be missed, Ofentse Mwase ❤

I used to hate the 24-70 in the first 5 years of my career as a full time pro. The past 3 to 4 years it's the lens I use 95% of the time. I still own a lot of primes, but I hardly use them anynore. The 24-70 is usually at 3.5 or in the studio around f/11. I already tested this out and it's amazing. Might buy this one and never take it off of my camera. Therefore also no need do ever again clean the sensor. My backup camera can then use any specialty lens I might need. The more I know, the more I value ease of use and flexibility. Sounds familiar? I own a 200 2.0 and I have used it once haha. My 70-200 I have used a least a thousand times.

Could I ask you something? I was wondering how to set the aperture, shutter speed, and AF value to take a picture like this.

Great review...waiting for my R8 to come in....not a pro just a weekend warrior for my kids games.....upgrading from rebel t3 and this camera seems perfect for what im looking for...THANKS
