You mentioned dxo rating for Canon R5 mark 2 is available and out do you have a link? At 23 minute time stamp

I want one for underwater to use both video and stills, any thoughts or advice?

Awesome

I enjoyed this so much, thanks to the great attitudes of the 3 of you, and particularly to you, Scott for putting this together. I'm in north central WA, partial to kingfishers and river otters, so I particularly enjoyed seeing what you found in this video. Have a suggestion for you if you're still shooting the Canon 200-800, the steel tripod handle gets mighty cold, insulate it with a fry pan slip-on handle cover, secured with 1/2" bolt. Take care of yourself and run that shutter.

Thanks!

Wow, this is fantastic! Appreciate you taking the time to share.

As a former Nikon shooter, I know love the M43 system for all its advantages and have used it since 2015. My current body is the EM1 Mark III with a bunch of Pro lenes. I sell me work on line and through galleries. Not once has anyone said "oh, I'm not buying your work because it wasn't shot using a FF camera"!. Please people, its the shooter NOT the camera!!!

Torn between this (R7) and just biting the financial bullet and getting an R5 mk2.

What a wonderful video. Loved the collaboration between you all and the sense of enjoyment of the experience.

Hello, good explanation I'm thinking of buying the r7 with a sigma 18-50 and a canon rf 100-400 My idea is to photograph motorsport events (mainly rally) and some air shows, do you think I will have this problem? If so, maybe the canon r8 would be a better choice?

What a marvelous shooting day with Cassie & Heidi Scott !!! Last summer we were in Scot-land, and for some days we've been searching for Otters (while thinking about your earlier awesome Otter-videos !), but sadly we didn't spot any. We did have a day full of Puffins and Razorbills on the isle of Lunga.

A very balanced view. You deserve more subscribers.

Wonderful video! I especially enjoyed the underwater footage. May I ask what brand were the blue short rubber boots that you were wearing? I really liked them and I want to buy something like that but where I live such things are difficult to find.

Great images

Cool tool! Anxious for the Nikon version!!! Thanks!

Easily the best honest review of these cameras I have seen. This guy knows his shit and isn't some studio unboxer.

Hey, thanks for your video. Does the live nd filters really work well in video mode? I've heard that it's only for stills. Or is it because of an upgrade in the om 1 II?

If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the only cameras with an IPX rating. How do you know other cameras are more weather sealed than this one when its the only one actually rated for it?

5:08, what an incredible shot.

Thanks for this video!!! I have an R7 and had the opportunity to compare to a Z9 while shooting flying puffins with fish/shrimp in their beaks (same magnification). Looking through the R7 EVF, I could not tell even if there was food in the beaks, and certainly could not determine if they were shrimp or fish. The view was much clearer with the Z9--much more life-like. I believe you have used R7 as well as R5m2 and Z8/9. Could you comment on whether the EVF of the R5 MkII has the same feeling of lifelike-ness (ratah than the pixelated quality of the R7)? I have read that the difference is not only dots, but also some intangible quality allowing this better view. (PS--hope you're continuing to heal--take care of yourself!!).

What a great day. lovely video, thanks to all three of you. Best wishes

Ordered 1 but are you having issues with the new cannon batteries LP-E6P. I have 2 batteries completey full according to my camera neither get more than 1 bar and its seems to be stuck on 90%?

Good morning Scott, I’m amazed at all the different species you’ve been able to photograph & video on your journeys. I’m in awe of the abundance of wild life you have in Alaska. Wishing you good health and fortune, I always look forward to your next outings and journeys no matter where they take you. Brian

So much fun to watch! You are so fortunate to be in such a wonderful place! Thanks for taking me along!

I will invest in one of these 2 fantastic bodies soon, since I am some invested in RF gear it is likely I go for the R5 mark ii. Upgrading from Eos R so it will be a nice upgrade, especially shooting birds which is a bit challenge using Eos R.

iif an animal or bird about 100 yards a way what size lens will I need?

Wow. The enthusiasm you three exhibit is infectious. Watching this was like being there. Looks like you have fully recovered. So keep running those shutters.

The underwater footage is beautiful. An excellent video. 🙏

That was fun to watch, I am guessing you all sleep well that night. Awesome action, thanks for taking us with you.

I really needed this today! It’s delightful watching all 3 of you working together and supporting each other’s work. The camaraderie and excitement is infectious! Thanks for doing these and sharing these experiences. We need more positive content these days! Great work!

You did not show the head of those birds at 100%. Why not? I'm not convinced that it is a great combo.

Awesome video! There is just one thing ( 27:24 ). You said the 8.3K60p N-RAW would only be 10-Bit which is NOT true as far as I know. The Z8 and the R5 Mark II should both be able to shoot 12-Bit RAW video (8K60p) if I’m not mistaken. Maybe you can clear up this confusion. I really appreciated this incredibly detailed comparison. I’m switching from APS-C to full frame and these are my two top contenders. Looks like I’ll be getting a Z8 if the upcoming Sony a1 II doesn’t leapfrog the Z8. I‘m disappointed that Canon still limits 8K oversampled 4K to 30fps whereas Nikon offers 4K60p downsampled from 8.3K!

Really enjoyed the video, as with all of yours. Also glad that you are doing well.

Thank you

Very nice shots!! (again :) )How do you get that distance information at the picture? Is that functionality on the camera?

Wow, so cool, would love to be there. So enjoy your videos!

Great trip to Seward. Loved all the shots. What were you using for the underwater scenes? Those jellyfish were very cool! Leilani from distant Florida

I love the absolute joy and sense of elation that the three of you had! It was like watching three kids find their favorite thing in the whole wide world! What an absolutely beautiful setting! The underwater perspective of the otters and the jellyfish was particularly interesting. Is there something in the metadata that allows you to determine the distance from each subject?

A range finder?

Gotta love Sunday mornings and genuine love for the outdoors, nice shots ladies......and you too Scott !! Beautiful, especially the 5 yard feather. Simple in its presentation. Cheers, and thanks..............

So jealous! ☺️💪👍😎

Great video. Question for you - is April or May a good time to visit Anchorage? We’re thinking of spending a week or so just visiting parks in the Anchorage area. Thanks.

I love everybody’s enthusiasm and excitement. It’s what makes wildlife photography for me so much fun. The search, the find, the shot. Even if you don’t find what you are looking for there is always some other little surprise you didn’t expect. It’s not just the shot it’s the whole experience that keeps that adrenaline pumping. Thanks for another great video Scott.

I absolutely loved this video! The underwater vid of the jellyfish was amazing, but the photographs were as well, especially the close-ups of the otters. Outstanding!

You really need to get the insta360 x4 I have two of the x3’s and love them for underwater videos I used them out in Dillingham Alaska and have the really long selfie stick and got really cool videos of the salmon running up the river out by the lakes and you never miss a shot because her filming 360°

What do you use for distance measuring? Nice captures

Thank you for the best video on youtube covering this topic.

Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.

nice review but when you were talking about iso and f-stops at the beginning, you said you loos 2 stops of light gathering ability with M43, thats not exactly correct, the camera will give the same exposure as a full frame sensor in any given scene / light level, you only really loos 2 stops in depth of field terms/ so a m43 lens at f4.5 is like a full frame camera at f9 in terms of depth of field, exposure wise both cameras give the same readings. But re depth of field its not as bad as it sounds either as you can shoot the f4.5 lens at f4.5 and get the bird all sharp whereas on full frame, if you were shooting the same bird with a 800mm lens, you would need to be at f9 = f10 to get all the bird in focus so you have regained that 2 stop disadvantage and therefore can shoot at 2 stops lower iso with m43. Also you mention the weather sealing IP53 and say its not upto the Nikon Z9 or Canon R3, well thats incorrect too as Nikon and Canon dont give a rating and its widely recognised that Olympus has thr best weather sealing in the business.

Fantastic pictures especially the underwater video of the Jellyfish
