$1,799 vs $3,899 // Is the R5 really worth it?

[@eLstratos60]

i just bought the R over the R6, yes no IBIS, no Joystick, no 4k 60p or 1080 120fps ? but do I really needed all of that, I have access to the EF, RF glasses with the R and it's still a very good camera and in the end, everyone is going to watch my content on a phone at 240p or copressed on instagram

[@rynfilms]

Awesome! Sounds like you really thought this one out in real world terms, I dig it!

[@frasergaffney]

I haven't picked up my R since I bought my R5... IBIS, DPAF 2.0 and 12fps mechanical on the R5 make it worth the extra money. The eye AF (in particular Animal AF) is just witchcraft... you really need to use it to appreciate just how amazing it is. The handling of the R5 also feels just that little bit better (both my camera bodies have grips) and the 45mp images from the R5 are just sublime when you crop in (I always shoot in CRAW). Being able to use a CF Express card really speeds up both operation and file transfer (using a card reader) and I have absolutely no regrets upgrading from my R.

[@rynfilms]

I feel the same. If you're used to the 5D4, you'll feel more at home with the R5. I like the layout of it better.

[@varoujanvisionsofficial630]

Amen to that 🙏🏽

[@weezyg.5724]

I have the EOS R and its a very sweet camera, no planning to upgrade for a while, lenses is where is at, I prefer EOS R with RF glass than R5 with EF.

[@markrigg6623]

Theres a lot to lenses but the the improvements in sensor tech are giving me more image quality improvements than the different lens systems. Its only when you use this new generation sensor that you can fully appreciate how mediocre Canons older sensor tech was.

[@glenns001]

ive had both, id prefer the R5 with EF glass than the R with RF glass, better still R5 with RF glass, the R is still a great camera though and loved it while i had it, way better than DSLR

[@rynfilms]

That RF glass is so nice!

[@rynfilms]

I'm still using all EF glass simply because I prefer to use the Canon ND adaptor over having the ND on the front of the lens. The RF is better, but the convenience of the ND adaptor is great.

[@KevinNordstrom]

If you can afford the r5....you aren't using ef glass. Definitely not long.

[@tombuck]

I have 2 R’s so I might be biased, but dang, it really holds up compared to the R5. I’m honestly surprised 🤯

[@rynfilms]

It does, especially for photos. I'm pretty impressed with the R5 when it comes to video though. 😃

[@kwameryan]

This is exactly the video I've been waiting for and you did a great job answering all the key questions! I think I'm going to invest in a gimbal, a drone and maybe another R for multicam before I get an R5. I'll get much more mileage out of those things for my work than from fullframe 4K and AF 2.0. The photo and video comparisons you showed really clarified the return on investment aspect for me. It's just not a big enough difference for what I'm doing to make it worth it. Thanks a lot!

[@rynfilms]

That's awesome! Happy to help and answer your questions. 👍

[@andrewlosh3529]

Great review. You answered all the questions I had comparing the 2 cameras.

[@rynfilms]

Awesome Andrew! Happy to help. 👍

[@TazawaTanks]

I have two EOS Rs. The R5 interests me, but I think I’m going to hold out for maybe the C70 or the upcoming 1R.

[@rynfilms]

I'm looking forward to using the C70 someday!

[@noliserban]

I have 2 EOS R and I want to buy a Canon C70 because I want a cinema camera and the DGO sensor with 16 stops is very interesting for me. I was thinking of buying a R5 but the difference between R5 and C70 is around 1000 $, but the specifications for a video camera is huge

[@rynfilms]

That C70 sounds tempting. I'm sure once I use one I'll want to add it to my camera bag!

[@noliserban]

[@ironian24]

The latest and greatest camera is not always the answer to great photography. Great glass is where it is at.

[@rynfilms]

You're not wrong. I often recommend people buy the less expensive camera and more expensive lens. I'm totally happy with my lenses, and now I'm totally happy with the R5. I think I'm good on gear for a while. It's a nice place to be. 😊

[@KevinNordstrom]

R5 with rf glass. Should be good for like 10 years lol

[@ironian24]

@@KevinNordstrom your kidding right? Canon already have a line up of cameras that will outperform the R5 but yes agree the RF lenses will be great and worthy of investing in unless you already own L glass anyway then no it is not worth the investment.

[@KevinNordstrom]

@@ironian24 the glass I was being real about. If you have rf glass you're good for like a decade or more lol. The rf glass is superior to anything I've ever owned. But yeah the r5 will be replaced with something much better really soon.

[@shazbk7616]

I still love the 4k quality out of the R coupled with the Ninja V! But definitely the R5 is tempting!

[@rynfilms]

Agree! It's a solid 4K recording out of the R. I am still surprised at how good the recording out of the R5 is in comparison.

[@ilyagr7998]

[@rynfilms]

It's amazing with the EF, so I can only imagine!

[@georgeecabert1549]

My personal comparison in purchasing a new mirrorless is the EOS R vs EOS R6

[@rynfilms]

I did a video about those two cameras as well. 👍

[@Khatgs]

Which one for wildlife photography between R6 and R5? 😜🙏

[@rynfilms]

I'm not a wildlife photog, but I would have to say probably the R5 since you can do more extreme cropping. Both cameras have the same AF tech. I've seen some other vids from wildlife shooters on KZbin that might offer more insight than I can. Sorry Thomas, I know that's not a great answer but it's the best I have for you.

[@LKpixels]

The only I don’t like about the R is the shadows/blacks that are too dark.

[@TheOtherPhotoGuy]

Nice clip! I wish the AF on the R was better but overall would much rather keep the R and spend on lenses!

[@rynfilms]

You're comment came through twice so I'll like it twice! 😆

[@RaulTheMessenger]

I have a eos rp And I want to upgrade mostly to just have a little better video features...I was looking at upgrading to the R but the r6 is also tempting but the r6 is also a lot more expensive and the low MP count bugs me a bit.

[@rynfilms]

Legit! The R is a great way to get some amazing video quality without spending a whole lot of money. The R6 would be a good upgrade too. You'll have to figure out if the extra features are worth it for you.

[@RockyMaiviaMiami]

Standard vs performance Model. R5 is very much worth it. You can overcome most advantages one by one but the R5 is such huge upgrade when you put it all together. If you aren’t going to fully us it. Go R.

[@rynfilms]

That might be the perfect way to compare these two! Well said. 👍

[@ayayoutuber]

Get R6. R5 only if you crop. I don't like working with huge files if you don't need to.

[@rynfilms]

For most everyday shooters, the R6 will be more than enough.

[@TheStella0]

I'm a wedding photographer .. I want an upgrade from my apsc 80d to full frame.. is eos r good enough for wedding shoot ? Is R eye af works fine? Plz help thx.

[@rynfilms]

The R would be a great upgrade from the 80D. I don't have any trouble with the AF on the R. The R5 is way better. Have you looked at the R6? It might be a good option for you given it has the same AF system ad the R5 at a lower price point. Good luck!

I’m thinking about the Canon 5D Mark IV Presently a Mark III shooter .... Too many issues with the R5

[@markrigg6623]

As a photography tool there's no real issues. Theres some video issues with the mark iv as well as the R5. So depends what you do.

[@rynfilms]

What issues are you concerned about?

[@siegfriednoet]

What issues are you referring at ? I'm using the R5 for a few months now, without any problems and no overheating

[@EliNews]

Did you mention anything about that overheat issue?

[@rynfilms]

I haven't had any issues with overheating, so I probably didn't bring it up in this video. I touch on it in another one, but not having run into the issue I don't have much to say about it. 🤷‍♂️

[@prestonmoore9070]

I am try to decide between R5 and R6. If I get the R6, I can buy some lens with the difference in price.

Both are good cameras. What are you mostly using it for?

[@alejandrosilva1691]

R6 is the perfect in between

[@rynfilms]

Depending on what you use your camera for, it is. For me, I wasn't fully impressed with the R6. It's a great camera, just doesn't have a place in my camera bag.

@@mageefilms Got ya, wasn't sure exactly what you meant. The playback is pretty terrible for the H.265 files. I just create .MOV proxies files before I start editing. It's not ideal, but worth it for the great quality. 👍

[@twistedsting]

my question is, what's stopping the EOS R to have similar AF performance compared to the R5/R6??

[@rynfilms]

Probably a combo of processing power and software. Not sure though.

[@tbgtom]

I'm pretty happy with my two R's... would rather spend the money on more RF glass than upgrade body at this time.

[@rynfilms]

Nothing wrong with that! The RF glass will serve you much better than a new camera body. 👍

Have they stopped selling camcorders.

[@rynfilms]

@@erics3527 My 24-70 f/2.8 is my absolute favorite lens. If you're going to have the 70-200, I don't see much reason to get the 24-105, f/4 I assume?

Ryan, I'm sorry, but you make a big mistake! My Canon EOS R has a C-RAW option just like the R5 (and R6, RP, 1DX3, 90D, M6M2, etc.). I believe your R also has a C-RAW. So I don’t see an advantage of R5 over R in that regard, in fact, the C-RAW from R is even smaller.

[@rynfilms]

I'll have to check again, Last time I looked I could only shoot RAW on the R.

[@kwameryan]

Yeah, my R has C-RAW as well... Forgot to mention that.

[@rynfilms]

So strange, I swear I looked on the R before doing this test and didn't see a C.RAW option. But it's there, plain as day.. 🤷‍♂️Oh well.

[@kwameryan]

No big deal Ryan. I haven't seen as detailed a comparison between Raw and C-Raw anywhere else, so at least we all learned something... 😊

I just bought the R6 to pair with my R I have the 28-70 f2 and the 70-200 2.8 I am thinking I should wait for the 95mp r5s or wait for the R 1 to trade up from the R The R6 is going to be my low light and event shooter. The R is my portrait and automotive camera.
