I’m absolutely sure you’ll love it!

Good point! However… that won’t work with RF lenses though. But still a valid solution if you’ve got EF glass!

Really good perspective here! It’s definitely a stepping stone to something like the R6 II. I actually made that step 😂

That was the case for some of the EF lenses. But with the RF mount, canon has focused on making the lenses as compact as possible, and so they all have extending front elements. However, they just launched the RF 24-105 f2.8, which is all internal zoom. Honestly, I prefer compact lenses 😃 I don’t mind the extending!

@@coppensbram Thanks for the reply. I really don't like the extending front elements as I don't think it's all that stable especially when you get to the higher zoom spans. Too much to go wrong. Oh well to say I'm bummed at this is an understatement.

Yup,they do 😃 I usually have mechanical on C1 and C2, and electronic on C3.

@@coppensbram Thanks for the answer. Wish Canon had a list or description of what actually gets saved to the custom modes. I'm sure there are things that don't get saved.

@@musicman8942 yeah that would be super handy!

There's no such option for video, since you don't actually need it - only for photography. 😃

@@coppensbram Thanks - didn't know that as Canon doesn't mention that.

Personally, I prefer zoom lenses. My go-to lens for portraits is the RF 70-200 f2.8. It’s expensive, but probably one of the best lenses Canon has ever made. If you’re more into primes, I’d suggest the RF 85mm f1.2. If you want cheaper, take a look at RF 85 f2. Hope this helps! 😃

Glad you liked it and it was helpful! 😀

Hi there! Of course 😊 When you want to photograph a group, it’s all about the aperture. You’ll need to make sure it’s narrow, something like f8 or even f11. That will make the focus pane wider, and thus, have more in focus in your shot. Also make sure you set your shutter speed quite fast. For a 35mm, maybe something like 1/150 or 1/200. It’s usually best to use a tripod too! I usually shoot group pictures in burst too. Just to make sure there’s a good one in there with everyone having their eyes open 😃 Hope this helps 😎

Bon choix! 😎

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the kind words! I'm super glad this video helpful to you 😃 To answer your question: "b-roll" is basically all of the footage that is not the main shot. For example in these KZbin videos, the main shot (or "a-roll") is when I'm talking into the camera. And all of the other shots, like when I show the camera screen or examples, that is called "b-roll". Hope this helps!

Canon R6 mark II and RF24-70 2.8 for the A-roll. For the B-roll and samples R8 and RF 14-35 4 (except when filming the actual lens hehe)

Hi there! Yes, it's on my wish list :-) Not sure when I'll be able to test it though... I'll keep you posted!

@@coppensbram Thanks Bram!

I’d probably choose a wider lens for vlogging. In a couple months the Tamron 11-20 and Sigma 10-18 will release for RF. Those will be excellent for vlogs. In terms of settings, always use the 180 rule for video, so if you shoot at 24 or 25 fps, your shutter speed should be 1/50. Aperture depends on what kind of shot you want, I usually shoot wide open. I always shoot with Clog3 enabled, and have AF set to whole frame and detection to people. I’ve got a whole set up video for the R7, maybe that will help too! 😎 How To Set Up Your Canon R7 Like A Pro! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rquYk4KveLCUoLM

@@coppensbram wow thank you !

You're very welcome! Let me know if I can help with anything else :-)

Glad you liked it! 😎

The 14-35 is a fantastic lens. On the R50, which is aps-c, it will give a nice standard zoom range. IQ is fantastic as well! I have a couple videos on the lens on my channel :-)

Yes indeed - It's listed on Canon's website. However, I don't see it anywhere in the menus, only IPB is available. I don't believe the R8 has got All-i. Even the R6 mii doesn't have it :-) Hope this helps!

@@coppensbram i was actually thinking to buy this camera, mainly because the fullframe 4:2:2 10bit All-i and the low price for getting it, so thanks a lot for checking that out

No prob! I'd say: do you really need the all-i? The IPB coming out of the R8/R6 mii is really stellar quality 😎

well i think it depends on what kind of project its used for, i mean workflow requirements like color grading for example, or taken into consideration platform/purpose

Not on the R8 - I only use RF lenses on it. I did have the Sigma 18-35 connected to my R7 via the adapter though, there’s a video on my channel :-)

Sure! No, after turning off the high frame rate, the default is still 1080p sadly 😬 but it’s only a minor gripe. For the R7 I’d recommend the Sigma 18-35 f1.8. Alternatively, take a look at the RF 16mm 2.8 for wider shots and maybe the RF 50mm 1.8 for portraits. Or even the 85mm f2. These are all quite inexpensive.

This lens is suited for APS-C cameras only, so indeed, the field of view will be similar to 28-56mm full frame equivalent. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the kind words! For a photo booth, you mean you’ll be taking pictures of people at events in front of a backdrop? If so, I’d definitely consider full frame like the R8 or R6 mark II. These will work great in low light! And then try to get a fast lens for the dark environments, either one of the RF primes or an RF zoom lens if you want flexibility. I would probably opt for the RF24-70 f2.8 if you can stretch the budget. If not, maybe the RF 85mm f2 prime, or even the RF 50 f1.8. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions :-)

Thank you for the kind words 👊 I’m glad it helped you out! If you have any questions, let me know!

No it won’t - you’ll have to use an L-bracket or cage on the camera. This is usually the case for tripods with fluid heads. Hope this helps 😊

thank you for responding - as I thought :( The newer Ulanzi TT09 VideoGo Carbon Fiber Travel Video Tripod has this functionality as the fluid head sits on top of a ball-head but unfortunately it's significantly shorter than older models@@coppensbram

@Stash_Studio actually I have that one too - I did a video for Ulanzi last year when they launched it. Yes - that one will allow vertical shooting. Do you need the fluid head for vertical shots? If not, maybe better to get a “regular” head - highly recommend the Ulanzi Zero-F38. You can always switch out the center column (they sell a separate piece) and add on a fluid head when you need it. Best of both worlds :-)

@@coppensbram yes I tend to shoot much more vertical content. I’ve actually got the f38 with the additional fluid head in my cart on the Ulanzi website but I really wanted to avoid travelling with 2 heads/columns/ or adding an additional base-plate to the side of the rig. If only the latest model was 20cm taller 🥲

@Stash_Studio ahhh yeah I see. It’s always a balancing act and tough choices to make 😬 I think Ulanzi is coming out with a more heavy duty video tripod soon. Maybe that has all the features you need? But it won’t be as travel friendly probably…

Nice workaround 😊 however not very handy to do every time you want to switch lenses… I usually just hold the camera sensor down when changing- reducing the possibility of dirt and dust catching on.

All great lenses! I really love the 24-105 as well - very versatile lens 👍 I was actually considering the 35mm 1.8 as well, but decided to wait and see the infamous RF 35mm f1.4L - hopefully Canon announces it soon 😎 Anyway - highly recommend the 14-35! You won’t regret it!

Thanks for the kind words! 👊 I’ve had the 15-35 f2.8 for a while as well, but ended up selling it and keeping the 14-35. For my use cases, F4 was good enough for the wide angle shots. And it’s just so nice and compact! I also have the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 so I have most of the range covered when I need a wider aperture! One lens I’m eagerly waiting for is the rumored RF 35mm f1.4 L. Hopefully it will release next month!

@coppensbram you know, it's got me thinking at wide angle ranges if f4 vs f2.8 is really that visible on photos viewed on the phone. I am currently using the prosumer grade 16mm and 28mm for walk around and it's doing quite well for my style of shooting, but I've been eyeing the 15 35. I hope canon releases a 35mm 1.2 or 1.4, would be a nice one, but I'm not good at the 35mm range, so I just picked up a 50mm 1.2 yesterday and so far so good 1 day in, first world problems. Great video

@RWAquariumPages I guess it depends on how often you shoot wide, and in low light. The 15-35 is a fantastic lens though 😃 And yes, the 50 1.2 is also on my wishlist. How are you liking it?

@coppensbram honestly, I never shoot wide to be honest, that's why if I were to get one the f4 might be a better fit. I have the 85 1.2 and it's a wider version snd lighter. Nice and sharp, bokeh is nice but on web size Noone would notice the difference between the 1.8 and 1.2 to be honest, but it makes me happy so thats all that counts. 50mm for my style is used more range than wide or 85mm, but every image out of the 85mm length is magical

@RWAquariumPages yes in that case, I can highly recommend the 14-35. F4 is still really nice, definitely can get nice bokeh and separation if you know how to use the wider focal lengths (just get in close and create distance between subject and background). And I can’t stress enough how compact and portable the lens is 😎 For the longer focal lengths I typically use the 70-200 2.8. But you’re totally right - do you even see the difference between f1.8 and f1.2 without pixel peeping on high res monitors? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean sure, for extreme low light, yes, it probably makes a difference. I only have 1 prime on the RF mount at the moment, the nifty fifty 1.8. I rarely shoot at wider aperture than 2.8 anyway. However, for my A-roll shots in these KZbin videos, I’d love to have a bit more background blur. My space is extremely tight so I could use that 35mm 1.4 or 1.2 once it releases hehe!

Thanks for the kind words 🙏 Oh, you’ll need to select every option on the grid separately and assign it to “OFF”. I believe it’s the last option on the list. Note that you can scroll through different screens. Let me know if that works for you! 😊

Thank you

@@londonken you’re very welcome 😊

I’ll take a look at it and get back to you!

Ok so I checked it. You are right! It’s only possible on the L-Fn button… not sure why it is like that, on my R6 mark II I can assign it to literally any button on the camera. Maybe it’s Canon on purpose limiting features of the R8? Or maybe it’s a bug and will be fixed in firmware update 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unless you’re really only doing birding or wildlife, I’d go full frame if budget allows. If you’re not a pro (earning money with your craft) - something like the R8 would be excellent! If you want something more serious - look at the R6 mark II. I recently did a comparison between the R7 and R8 - this might be helpful: Canon R7 vs R8: Which is the Best? Ultimate Comparison! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIiumX58iN6HnJY

There're no any problems with R8 overheating.

R8 = Image and Video Quality R7 - Durable camera physical Choose whatever u want 😀

@@NeezhomPhotomalaya I don't see neither of them durable physically

@@stanislavmikhailiukov1005 Yes not that durable. I only compared both two only (regarding to topic), not other cameras. 😀

@@stanislavmikhailiukov1005 There are so many people complaining about the overheating. This is why I am not getting the r8.

Yup works for me 😊

Sure! The IBIS in the R7 is already very good, so you don’t need additional digital stabilization. Especially if you have a lens with IS connected too! Digital IS will also apply a crop to the footage.

Thanks! 🙏 glad you liked it 😉

There’s an official additional grip, but it doesn’t hold batteries - it’s merely for adding grip. But there’s quite a bit of 3rd party options available! I like to keep the setup small and compact though, I’m just carrying a spare battery around 😊

Hey there! The 2664 looks solid too though! I think you’ll be happy with it 😊

Good choice! I think it’s possible to do a vertical panorama, however I’m not sure if a full 360 - depends on the camera I think. I will check when I’m back at home from the holidays and reply here 😊

Thank you for the kind words! The R8 is a really nice compact camera! It’s quickly becoming the one I pick up the most 😊

If you want the R7 to shoot birds in Flight you're going to have terrible banding in ES. The other problem with the R7 is it tends to lose focus when tracking birds in flight. On a burst shot of 60 shots you might lose anywhere between 40 and 50 at times. I travel sometimes across the state to shoot Eagles in Flight and when I was using this camera I was losing hundreds of shots a day and it was frustrating because sometimes they would be my best shots. I do have a love-hate relationship with this camera as I wanted to work. The R8 on the other hand is another camera that's in our family because my wife shoots a daily side-by-side with me. Her biggest issue is battery life out in the field. Apart from that she gets great low light performance she gets great images but she does not get the crop factor. The R7 has image stabilization as the ra does not but the R7s image stabilization is horrendous at times. Both of them have their pluses and minuses it just depends on which minus that you want to deal with on a daily basis. Unfortunately for me I still have the R5 and currently purchase the R6II, so when the R7 starts to act up in the field I can just grab one of the other two.. I actually just compared them all recently.

Yes indeed - makes sense 😊 I shoot video professionally and in terms of photography, portrait, landscape, street and casual. If you do wildlife or birds, get the R7. But then you’d already know you want that aps-c sensor for reach, better shutter etc. Comparing feature by feature definitely makes sense as you need to consider the sum of the parts in order to get the best for your needs 😉

Thanks! 😊

I’d say the R8 feels quite similar to the R7. It’s not up to the same quality as the higher tier cameras like my R6 II. However, I don’t mind it that much on the R8. It’s just such a nice and compact little camera that I take it out more and more! Really good combo with the 14-35 or 50mm 1.8!

@@coppensbram Awesome! Thanks for the quick feedback! Really like your channel.

Thanks Gerald 👊

That’s a killer combo! 😃 it’s so easy with the internal ND isn’t it

@@coppensbram Yes, it is, and also not always, as it turned out that produces a substantial color shift in the whites when filming screens (iPads, MacBooks, iPhones, etc.) Any solutions, other than buying the standard adapter as well?

Hmmm an ND filter will always shift colors, maybe apart from the more expensive ones… Can’t you just tweak the white balance and color temps in Final Cut afterwards? And then save it as a preset. Or even better, hold a white paper or color card next to the screen in the beginning of your shot, so you can map WB and color to it in post in Final Cut!

And turn off True Tone and night shift on the screens too 😉

​@@coppensbram Hey, thank you so much for these suggestions! I really appreciate it! Now that you mentioned I think it may be due to forgetting to use my white card to set the WB before the shot. I'll try everything else you mentioned, though I'm not using Final Cut. I am a Premiere user (I know it's such a shame, lol). I wish you nothing but success in the new 2024! You are one of the dopest channels. Your videos helped me pick the r7 and the Sigma, and now I am considering getting a second, though I have other things to invest in. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! Thanks again!
