I just bought the R8 and this is the exact video I was looking for, a straightforward review/solution video for all of the small issues the R8 has thank you +1

[@KeatSanity]

Hey bud ! I'm stuck between A7III, Eos R6 mark II and R8 - what you do you suggest ? General purpose photo and video requirements.

[@Ben-rz9cf]

I have been loving my R8 since i bought it. First thing i did was grab up a 64w 30000mah USB-C PD power bank which gives me virtually unlimited record time as it can basically recharge the camera live 29 times over (you need at least 30w PD for it to work when the camera is on though). I already have a gimbal which compensates for lack of IBIS and generally looks better than IBIS. And this camera with vintage lenses are a match made in heaven. I bought a vintage L series FD mount zoom for 110$ on ebay, and a tack sharp takumar prime that gives a cyberpunky aesthetic. I also have the Helios 44M-4, though mine has a flaring problem that is not great. But pairing this sensor with cheap vintage glass is 100% the way to go and will squeeze even more savings out of an affordable body. As an even cheaper alternative to the Tamron 15-30 f2.8 is the Tokina 17-35mm f4. You lose a stop of light but its less than half the price of THAT and less than 1/4 the price of the 15-35 and the R8 is already pretty good with low light so for under 400$ you won't find a better zoom. (at least without going vintage and losing autofocus)

[@FulaanCreative]

Thanks for sharing. The power bank sounds like a very good solution. It's crazy the deals you can get on awesome vintage glass if you know what to look for and don't mind using Manual Focus.

[@woutjanbalhuizen5497]

Wait a minute, with the power bank you charge the camera while using it at the same time?

[@Ben-rz9cf]

@@woutjanbalhuizen5497 if it has the right wattage power delivery, yeah. If its under (i think >27w PD) it will only charge when its off. Most power banks are only 22.5w or 18w which is not enough.

[@ForeverYoung007]

@0:43 Not many people mention the digital look and how too sharp is not necessarily better. I have noticed this too when comparing older sensors. Often, if anything, people mention how lenses are sharper or a sensor being sharper is better. I used to have an older cheap Canon HR10 that recorded to mini disc dvds. The look from that was filmic, without even trying. As newer ones came out, they only got more digital.

the decision to buy a camera seems really complicated. I always learn from your videos though. I am really considering the R8. I want usable video in 4k and be able to take product and family photos... R8 + which lens do you recommend

[@Denneska]

Sir, I just learned many things from watching your video. For example, what LUT means, and about the different filters you mentioned. You did not address a major flaw the R8 has, and that is the major reason I very probably won't by the R8 - the overheating problem when shooting in 4K 60ips. I live in the Caribbean (Guadeloupe) so I believe that I should buy a camera that has an internal fan, like the Panasonic Lumix S5 II or Sony FX30, since I plan to shoot in 4K 60ips and up.

[@FulaanCreative]

Usually with 60 fps people shoot short clips so you can get around the overheating but if you are in a very hot place then maybe it will be an issue

[@cruiz3597]

Do the Canon EF lenses make a big difference from the RF lenses ?

The lense I am using is a Tamron sp 17-5mm f2.8

[@FulaanCreative]

That lens is an APS-C lens. The R8 is full frame. It is supposed to automatically put you in crop mode when using a crop lens but it looks like it hasn't done so. You would need to turn on movie crop mode for video and turn on the photo cropping for stills.

[@aft6190]

@@FulaanCreative thank you for replying! How do I turn on the crop mode? Is that by choosing CROPPING/aspect ratio/1.6 in the menu? Or should I choose a different ratio?

What’s the best starter lens if you want to create video content but also be able to take good pictures

[@FulaanCreative]

There are two. One is wide meaning you can fit a lot into the frame from a close distance the other is tight. The wide one is the Canon RF 16mm f2.8 and the other is the Canon RF 50mm f1.8. Both are pretty affordable but super powerful.

[@Pastor-Dom]

@@FulaanCreative thanks for the quick answer. I should’ve indicated that I was planning on getting the ef adapter you suggested. So which lens would you think work. Unless I should just get rf

[@FulaanCreative]

@@Pastor-Dom Those RF lenses are good to start with. The advantage of the adapter would be built in filters. The advantage of the native lenses is mainly small size and light weight. If I were to go with the adapter and and EF lenses I would get the Tamron 15-30 f2.8. It's not cheap though. If you are looking for good budget options then the two RF lenses are great choices.

I am looking to upgrade to this R8 full frame from the R50. I have a Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF lens. With the crop on the R50, it's a 13.5mm full frame equivalent, which is great for what I do, real estate photography and videography. But is this too wide? I can always just move in closer. Interested to know your thoughts on this.

[@FulaanCreative]

For full frame I think 9mm is way on the ultrawide side of things. If it is rectilinear that would help a bit with the distortions but may still look a little weird/stylised. Personally I find 16mm in full frame terms to be the sweet spot for real estate stuff.

Though from experience. I own an r50. The real "budget" camera. 100% go for the r8 if youre shooting isnt bright daylight or very well lit areas. The r8 is the lowest tier model that doesnt struggle with middling to low light if you're hand shooting.

It's great. The raw photos have a lot of latitude for grading and you also have uncropped 60p so if you need to do real estate videos it's also quite capable.

[@SMGJohn]

Canon R6 is also really cheap now on the used market for similar features, but has IBIS, better battery life, can still use the adapter, there absolutely zero reasons to go with newer Canon RF glass unless you absolutely need perfection, the EF glass is so cheap on the used market nowadays that its a no brainer.

Please I need advice🙏🏼! I'm not sure which Canon camera to buy under 2000euros. Canon R8 seems like a great choice but many people are saying that they are overheating and kinda low battery life. I like canon 90D(because of full frame,4K,great battery life,sturdy...) but there are more RF lenses that are better than EF lenses. So lenses would be my only problem, i am just wondering if EF lenses are still good for profesional photoshootings like RF ones. Another choice is R10 but its not full frame and i am not sure it will be good enough for more profesional use maybe. I am mostly focused on photography not videography for now(portraits,animals,destinations) but i would still like to see how 4K video would look like if I took it. Please some honest advice🙏🏼❤️

The battery grip may randomly say the batteries are not compatible but if that happens you just switch the places of both batteries and it works after that. The dynamic range and shadow recovery is not on Sony or Lumix Level but it's way better than the RP and EOS R.

[@DennisLerche]

Mostly related to video, which I guess is a secondary thing for the camera...

[@FulaanCreative]

True, it is a stills camera 1st and video 2nd.

[@adyapadapattnaik2896]

Is Neewer BG-C18 battery grip for r8 any good ?

[@ciprianvalparaiso]

How are the adaptors handling autofocus?

[@FulaanCreative]

Pretty much perfect

[@counselor_padawan]

Does the ND Filter adapter come with the filters or do you have to buy that extra. i couldnt tell from the amazon store.

[@FulaanCreative]

just comes with ND filter and clear filter. The CPL and Black mist are sold separate.

[@counselor_padawan]

@@FulaanCreative thanks for the quick reply. seems like a no brainer if you have to use an adapter regardless.

[@mari13ram]

Thank you for this video! I just got my camera and this video helped me understand what I need to do next

[@FulaanCreative]

Glad it helped!

[@YvngChuck]

This is sooo true for canon r cameras i noticed that i had to turn my sharpness to 0 when using the r10 bc the camera was doing wayyyy to much image process over cooking the image making it tooo crispy

[@FulaanCreative]

Yeah for real. I also adjust the R10 to bring the sharpness to zero. Actually I think Canon labels it as "Clarity" which I bring down as low as it can go. I think it's like -3 or something like that.

[@jamesrangel9494]

For me to use the tameron 15 to 30 f2.8 would i need to get the adapter that you mention before the lenses

[@FulaanCreative]

Yes you would need the adapter to use that lens

[@brechtsucaet6005]

I currently have an canon eos 200d with an canon efs 18-55mm f2.8 lens. Would this camera be a good upgrade? Have my 200d for 6 years now and been looking for an upgrade but want to reuse my lens because it is an f2.8 lens and already have 2 batteries that the r8 also uses.

[@FulaanCreative]

This camera would be a massive upgrade from the 200d

is it possible to have a speed boost adopter with Nd filer for this camera and RF lenses?

[@FulaanCreative]

Unfortunately not

[@mikehunt576]

@@FulaanCreative i had 5d mnii, mkiii and got a m50 cause they where do dam heavy i started getting cramps holding them.. i hate the m50 since noticing how annoying the cropping is and its limitations, everything you say in your videos is dead spot on true but what ppl dont reveal from fear of been banned for not playing along with the marketing game is that the camera companies are exploiting the VIDEO vloggers looking for decent video tools, not photos…a full frame helps allot with lighting, whenever i get my hands on any now i noticed i dont need all the studio lights on, dsm thing can see in the dark and better with candle light, i never got my hands on a R8, is it heavy in the hands when your shooting ?

[@apisri3197]

What is best for Film making ? R8 or A7 3 ?

[@FulaanCreative]

I prefer the R8

[@Krista-k5v]

What is best one that can record for 6 hours like the old vhs? Is there cameras that can have a storage device attached so that it can record 6 hours like old vhs? i have camera and it stops recording at 15 minutes.

[@FulaanCreative]

The Lumix s5 Mark II can be connected to an external storage unit and record as long as your storage allows.

[@carlosr.2027]

What’s a better buy r8 at $900 or r6 mk1 at $1100

[@FulaanCreative]

I prefer the R8. If you prefer a camera with IBIS then the R6 at $1100 isn't a bad choice.

[@drdimento]

Awesome video with great presentation and information. Thanks so much!

[@FulaanCreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yonsense]

Would it be worth going from the r50 to r8?

[@FulaanCreative]

For sure. Full frame sensor, 4k 60 uncropped, no 1 hour record limit & more

[@FatCat4X4]

Thank you for this!!!

[@FulaanCreative]

You are very welcome : )

[@MalcomBenites]

have you had any experience with overheating while using the R8? everyone seems to be experiencing that, and I'd to know if that's factual or like people being extra on youtube.

[@FulaanCreative]

It overheats in 4k 60 when shooting in hot weather. I rarely record for longer than a minute at time in 4k 60 so not an a big issue for me. In 4k 24 there isn't any problem.

[@GoPlacesLKN]

Question, which would be a better upgrade from an M50? I was considering a R8 or R50. I appreciate your help in advanced.

[@FulaanCreative]

I like the R8. If you can spend a little more the Lumix S5 II is the best value in my opinion

[@GoPlacesLKN]

Thank you so much. Your videos are the best!

[@Gaviphoto]

Thank you so much. Planing to get one. I have tons of great EF sigma Art and Canon L lenses. With the adaptor you talked about I think it will be a great solution for me. I’m gonna use it for social media marketing. Shooting businesses, people and product videos. Any input from you will be highly appreciated. For example. What kind of gimbal I should get for it if I am gonna shoot with EF Canon 16-35 ultrasonic L III 2.8, EF Sigma Art 1.4, I don’t think I can mount EF 79-200 2.8 L IS III on it with RF mount and be able to use a gimbal? Thanks again.

[@FulaanCreative]

Whichever gimbal you get I would recommend getting the one built for cinema cameras like the canon c70. That way it has enough horsepower so to speak to handle whatever mirrorless and lens combo you throw on it. I have the Feyutech scorp pro and it does pretty well but any modern day gimbal that can handle a good payload should do the trick.

[@Gaviphoto]

@@FulaanCreative thank you

[@Ryukushin]

Do you think its a big issue that you cannot get RAW video from the HDMI on the r8 for client work or matching color grades to better canon cameras on a shoot? Also is the lack of IBIS a deal breaker even with the battery grip to weigh down the camera or is the lens IS very very good? Im torn between getting either a fx 30 or eos r8 but I may just save and hold for a r6 mark ii for a new A camera (my current is a 5d3 with a modification on it to shoot 4k)

[@FulaanCreative]

Honestly The whole raw thing is something that very few people will ever use. The file sizes are exorbitant while the increase in quality is there but most likely not worth the larger file sizes.

[@IosefAfroukhteh]

Hey, I am looking to buy a camera too, and I was also juggling between fx 30 and R8, and haven't looked into the R6. I was curious what did you end up buying?

[@daverizz]

Hey Fulaan, do you have affiliate links for B&H? Totally thinking about buying an R8 soon, but I'm gonna buy through B&H, not Amazon... and your videos are great, and I totally wanna send that affiliate 💵💵💵 your way.

Thanks Dave! I appreciate you looking out for me like that. I don't have a relationship w/ B&H but don't worry. The kind sentiment and comment is more than enough : )

[@felipecarneiroandrade]

Does the Canon EOS R8 have the same issue with HSS as the Canon EOS RP?

[@FulaanCreative]

Not familiar with HSS please elaborate

[@felipecarneiroandrade]

HSS stands for high-speed sync, and it is a feature on some flash units that allows you to use a shutter speed faster than your camera's normal sync speed. @@FulaanCreative
