I switched to CANON with the 1DXMK3 and have been over the moon…and a few years later, NIKON drops the Z9! 🙄 I didn’t upgrade to the R3 because, well…it’s not a flagship body and my 1DXMK3 is still putting in the WORK! All that being said, CANON is going to have to put away the “Cripple Hammer” AND throw everything plus the kitchen sink at the R1!!! 🤷🏾♂️ I don’t have to shoot mirrorless, but I’d like to…on CANON if they would just stop getting in their own way!

I'm a Nikonian, and really appreciated my friends giving me a look at the future as they all bought R5s for wildlife/bird photography. I, as you, was on the fence with sticking with them for sports/wildlife/action. I stayed around longer than most (not all) of my fellow DSLRers who refused to buy in the the Z line-up until the Z9. Then there was the 400mm f/2.8 TC, then the 800mm f/6.3 and suddenly, all is well in Nikon land for now. I can honestly say the Z9 was worth the wait. There are planned firmware updates coming that will continue to broaden the cameras appeal and AF abilities. I picked up my DSLR once since the Z9's arrival 5 months ago (for landscape) and for Wildlife/sports/action it's been, thus far, a completely different, and mostly welcomed experience.

The 100-400mm f/5.6-8 is a masterstroke of a lens. Light, compact, and offers enough reach for a lot of applications. It's also compatible with TCs. And it's fairly inexpensive - both the Sony and Panasonic 70-300mm lenses cost almost twice as much while offering no substantial advantages besides weather sealing. The Sony can't accept TCs, and the Panasonic has pretty mediocre IQ. The RF 100mm macro is expensive, but not outrageously so; thing is, it's a lens thought for specialist photographers, who represent most of the customer base of the EF version: wedding togs and true macro fiends. The first group prefer it for its versatility, as it works both as a portrait and detail lens, while the others, well, it's obvious. So the RF version offers even larger magnification, as well as spherical aberration control for portraits. But I can see why a lot of people might prefer something like the 105mm f/2.8 Nikkor-S, which offers excellent IQ and features at a very moderate price! Agreed on the 85mm f/2, that one's a dud. Also agree on the weathersealing.

I am doing a lot of portraits, and Canon skin-tones ooC are great. Canon JPEG-Quality is outstanding. If you are used to shoot slides sinces decades you will certainly love a digital camera which can produce nice results and no need to change a lot in post.

The 50/1.2L is bigger, heavier and more expensive than the Sony GM equivalent which also is quieter and faster. And again, no RF version of 35/1.4, 24/1.4, etc. No third-party glass.

My biggest problem with Canon currently is lenses: 1. Their pro-level gear is no longer affordable for non-pros (like myself). In the “old days” (2 years ago when EF was alive) I could afford L series lenses as a hobby photographer, and have 5. Now, their RF L-series lenses are out of reach, and the non-L lenses are unexciting. 2. They seem to be going for the “see how big and extreme we can make our lenses” instead of “here is a lens that you regular folk will give us money for”. Their enemy (Sony) have pro grade lenses mostly at EF L pricing, that are smaller than EF (except for perhaps the 50mm, which is smaller than the RF). Canon seem to be targeting either pro level or entry level, but the enthusiast ends up having to look elsewhere.

People love Aps-C and there's no reason why Canon couldn't bring a line of RF mount cameras from 500$ to 1500$. Maybe two or three different bodies with more and more features as prize goes up that allows you to both play with Aps-C and take advantage of it, but also, if you want to, buy RF Full Frame lenses and, if you eventually upgrade to a full frame, not have the need to sell your Aps-C lenses too. Basically, they need to do the same thing you could do with EF before they brought RF into the market. You can buy either Full Frame or Aps-C cameras and lenses and you could go from one to the other without getting rid of everything in the process. Also, this approach is perfectly possible and they could get a lot of sales from it because there's already an RF sensor with an Aps-C size in the Canon C70. This way, people who own that camera, if Canon produces Aps-C lenses, could buy them for their work instead of adapting EF glass or going with the bigger full frame ones that are unnecessary because part of the lens coverage is out of the sensor size. But also, the C70 sensor exists already so they don't have to create a new one for an Aps-C line. They just have to do two different bodies for it and give the 500$ entry one less features and more to the 1500$ one.

Canon's FF lineup is already very affordable to get into for anyone moving up from a modern smartphone. The 800+ price offers great options that some smartphones can't yet do. I would rather more competition in the Medium Format space. Treat FF like they did APSC a while back and just jump to larger sensor with more computational power.
@phelanwolf67472 жыл бұрын
I think the era of 500$ cameras is long gone. There is just no profit in that segment anymore and the time and money spent on R&D and production is better used to advance more profittable products and scale their production better. With scale even the more advanced and complex products will get cheaper. This means that in the future it will be more viable to use a high res full frame sensor and just use a crop mode for APS-C and still have a descent resolution. This way there is no production cycles wasted on actual APS-C cameras and the increased production scale of the high res full frame bodies makes each unit cheaper. That is why I did not agree with the path that Nikon took with the Z50 and dedicated APS-C lenses for it when the lense lineup for full frame was not there yet and the race to keep customers who where willing to switch to mirrorless was still raging. Bottom line camera manufacturers MUST keep their product lineups slim, there is no space for senseless "cheap" products or artificially added limitations anymore. The market has changed and the cheaper camera segments were eaten by smartphones.

However, the 100-500 is pretty quick but the focus issues on that are just horrid. Meanwhile Sony has the 200-600 that's internal zoom and it glides like hot butter. The only thing out of Canon now is that they're making 200mm and 300mm primes .. and you really have to wonder where their head is at. Especially considering that if you want to use the 100-500 with a telephoto to get to 600, you're giving up 200mm of usable range (300-500 -> 420-700 1.4x & 600-1000 2x). Add that to the fact that the Bokeh when focusing on distant objects is ugly as all get out... and you really start to wonder where their head is at.

I very recently replaced my, now ancient, Nikon D5000 (not a 500) with an R5, and while I'm blown away by it, it's also not really meeting the hype for me. What I'm really blown away by is the advancements in AI processing that can take the rather crappy (color noise) output from the R5 and make it awesome. Without DXO PureRaw and the like, I'd be very disappointed with how far short the native images fall from the hype - clearly I was naive about how much post processing I should expect. Also, the AF system is a constant battle for me. I get that I'm still figuring out what settings I have to use in which situations - but from the hype I wasn't expecting to have this struggle. And the number of hot pixels on a long exposure is just sickening - maybe I have a bottom bin sensor but hot pixel expectations weren't covered in any of the reviews I've seen so I don't really know how normal my experience is. But it's a lot more than 4x my old D5000 (12MP vs 45MP), it's more like 40x!

I recently started photographing/videoing and getting introduced to camera stuff. Got myself 250D from Canon and I can 100% agree. If you use the live view screen (it has mirror, but half the useful options are on the live view screen, like brightness, color and grey sample or focusing modes so you really do need it all the time unless you're doing a set and forget event), the battery is done with just photographing really quickly. If you shoot video, you gotta rush to get it captured whatever you're shooting. Another thing was a weird options system where depending on your one option or mode, your options screen looks completely different and for example figuring out how to bring the grid or histogram up took me quite a bit of googling and browsing the manual. The menus are great, but not always intuitive or practical. Other than those, I really dig the usability of it. Really, really lovely features like 4k video, bluetooth/wlan transfer of files (compressed or raw) and remote use from phone via bluetooth/wlan. Makes it so convenient to do hands on home projects like shooting videos/pics for something and quickly transferring them for editing. Meaning that it works seamlessly as a TOOL for creative projects, where you just want good quality shots for the project, not to make taking the shots and getting them on the desk your project.

I recently sold my fuji kit and picked up an EOS R and the 35mm 1.8. I have no complaints about the EOS R - in terms of dynamic range, autofocus, and file flexibility it's an upgrade over my x-pro3. Prime lens options, on the other hand, leave a lot to be desired. I shoot portraits, and while I hear the RF 50mm 1.2 is amazing, it's so, so expensive. And the RF 50mm 1.8 is underwhelming until stopped down to f/4 or so. I'm beginning to regret not picking up a used Nikon Z7 and the 50mm 1.8 S. A strong set of Canon primes at non-exotic apertures would be really nice, but they're nowhere on the roadmap.

According to photons to photos, the EOS R has about one third of a stop better dynamic range than the X-Pro3 at base ISO. You're going to be hard-pressed to see the difference in real life in terms of file flexibility unless you use technologically obsolete software like lightroom and misuse the detail slider, in which case the software will make you think xtrans files are worse, which they are not.

But the Nikon Z system would be an improvement there, too.

Mid-end lenses or get Sigma/Tamron/Tokina/Samyang/Viltrox to do it for them. I don't mind the top end L is expensive, it's not going to be in my bag. However the entry level lenses from Canon RF can be quirky and not enough. If the rumours of RF20-50/f4 pancake is true. I can finally stop using EF 20-35/f2.8 or Tamron EF 17-28 for daily use. 3. Improve the app on mobile devices. Faster transfer of photos to smartphone/tablet/laptop. And less clumsy startup settings to establish connections. We need the faster Bluetooth/NFC pairing. Canon has a better app than others but that's because Sony/Nikon/Panasonic/Fuji e.t.c are all terrible or non-existent. You can't beat the Smartphone nowadays, so integrate well is the only way.

@pain_tendo2 жыл бұрын
(Sorry. I'm poor at English😅) Thank you for the great videos👍 I have strongly insisted since July 2020 at the latest that Canon wouldn't release APS-C camera body and lens in RF system for not cinema camera, but still camera. The reasons I presume are shown below. (1) Customers and users who want a budget price camera are mainly classified as two groups. The persons belong to the one group could not concern about specifications and could be satisfied with camera kit like EF-M system. Several years later, they almost wouldn't buy a next interchangeable lens camera. The other words, provide of EF-M and EF-S systems are worth keeping unless net deficit. While the persons belong to the other group couldn't have enough budget, they are interested in photography and/or videography and they want to improve their skill and equipments. The other words, most important thing for them is not image sensor size, but simply price. Their ideal camera is a budget price one using "high speed present generation" FF sensor. I'm calling this camera "R9" which is similar in design to R6 with EVF and flip screen in spite of intensive cost reduction. One of the biggest missions on "R9" is a bridge the gap in videography between M50s and mid range like R6. While Canon well understood Sony APS-C series like A6*** occupy this gap several years ago, they didn't take measures during long years. On viewpoint of videography, Canon is building their ecosystem, including "R9", R6, R5, R3, R5C, C70, C300iii, C500ii and so on. (2) Regarding APS-C still camera, the rest meaning of existence is crop effect. However, it's extremely difficult the balance between price and high performance; high speed burst shooting, durability etc. I'd like to remind, especially, photographers who need high speed burst shooting that the rolling shutter effect using equivalent technology on image sensor is directly proportional to not image sensor size, but numbers of pixels. The sales period of 7D2 which price was roughly $2000 was about four years; from 2014 to 2018. If the price of 7D2 successor would be almost as same as R6, the demand of this successor should be very small. Therefore, I think "R9" should have high priority to 7D2 successor. I'm interested in "Kokomo" VR platform. If it would be successful a few years later, many people should have headsets for "Kokomo". Therefore, it could increase demand for "EOS VR System" contents shot by professional videographers and filmmakers. Of course, "R5C and RF5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye" is the best equipments for "EOS VR System". For your information: Canon has introduced key parts as shown below. --- introducing Dual Pixel technology --- *S35 image sensor for cinema cameras: C300 (01/2012), C100 (11/2012) -- introducing Dual Pixel technology in 2012 and DPAF thanks to update in 11/2013 *APS-C image sensor for still cameras: 70D (08/2013) -- introducing DPAF --- low speed previous generation --- *APS-C image sensor for still cameras: 80D (03/2016) and 11 models (11/2016 - 11/2020) *FF image sensor for still cameras: 5D4 (08/2016), R (09/2018) *FF image sensor for still cameras: 6D2 (06/2017), RP (02/2019) *Image processor for still cameras: DIGIC 8 (03/2018) -- maybe introduce GPGPU for computing deconvolution *FF image sensor for cinema cameras: C700FF (07/2018), C500ii (12/2019) --- high speed present generation --- *High-speed and intelligent communication system between the lens and the camera body: RF mount (09/2018) -- maybe USB3.1 (12pin, 5Gbps) *APS-C image sensor for still cameras: 90D/M6ii (08/2019) -- maybe delay about 2 years *Image processor for cinema cameras: DIGIC DV 7 (12/2019) *FF image sensor for still cameras: 1DX3 (02/2020), R6 (08/2020) *Image processor for still cameras (and cinema cameras!!): DIGIC X (02/2020) *S35 image sensor for cinema cameras: C300iii (06/2020), C70 (11/2020) -- introducing Dual Gain Output (DGO) *FF image sensor for still cameras: R5 (07/2020), R5C (03/2022) -- 2 line readout same time --- high speed next generation --- *FF image sensor for still cameras: R3 (11/2021)

For example, Canon has been capable of delivering us 4K to budget Canon users since about 2014-2015, but they waited until just before people started jumping ship to other platforms like Sony and Panasonic to release 4k (and even then it was crippled 4k with a heavy crop and only at 24fps). Tldr: If you buy a Canon camera (other than a flagship Canon camera), just know your Canon camera is an intentionally crippled camera.

If I really want to shoot video, I've got my cellphone always at the ready. I'm a photographer and not a videographer. I know it was much easier for the camera manufactures to sell cameras with video capabilities because that was much easier to built into the camera then improvement to the picture quality. Nowadays however, with the unbelievable photo manipulation apps like ON1 I am much more inclined to shoot with a much higher ISO then I used to and you do not see the difference in quality. Still I would have liked to see this possibility of shooting with high ISO in a camera that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg instead of having to invest in an app that can do that.

I own the Canon EOS R3 and the Canon C70 and although I am happy with the C70, I AM NOT HAPPY with the R3. Essentially Canon has not given their most expensive EOS-R camera any love. Now I do email Canon Support and I am a CPS Gold Member so I reach out to them as well to suggest new features while providing supporting information on why the suggestions are beneficial, but alas nothing yet In short, the Canon EOS R3 is NOT a good video camera... and, there are a handful of reasons why: 1. NO Custom WhiteBalance setting in LiveView mode for Video. They added it to Photo, not Video. Sucks... the C70 can do it. 2. NO Histogram and Levels while recording.. DPREview you nailed that. It sucks. 3. NO ability to disable IBIS but keep lens IS enabled. SUCKS. Wobble anyone? This would fix that. 4. NO Atomos compatibility. I.E. you can't trigger recording from the camera and there is no RAW out. 5. NO shutter angle, XF-AVC, Cinema RAW Lite, and Face Only/Prioritty autofocus. In Canons defense they usually only reserve this stuff for cinema. But still... would be great. 6. NO oversampled 1080p. Arguably the BEST film mode. You can do it on the C70. And although the R3 has oversampled 4k, it has pixel binned 1080. Sucks. 7. NO ability to map a button to format storage. Very useful in my c70. Use it all the time. So kinda sucks I have to menu dive to do it in the R3. There are a handful of more suggestions but that is what is on my mind right now. Like I said, I reach out to Canon a lot. Probably every 2 weeks. I write lengthy emails about the industry, competitors, and suggestions for firmware updates.... so, it's not like I am just sitting in my house bitching. That said, maybe there's a power in numbers? If you guys own a Canon R3 and also are burning for a good firmware update.... then message support about it!

Going to another system currently - I don't think it makes much sense except for few specialists not well served by their current brand. All major manufacturers do have awesome innovative products. What Canon and Nikon don't offer in mirrorless-mount lenses can be adapted. New into the interchangeable lens word - take cameras in your hand, what feels best. What brand offers lenses you likefor a good price

You guys are right on the money about Canon. The company needs to $#!* or get off the pot with a more entry level FF R-series (to replace the R and RP)... AND they need to introduce a couple APS-C R-series sooner rather than later. I don't think they can accomplish what they need to with a single APS-C camera. There are two markets they need to address: One is a high end mirrorless 7D Mark II sports/action camera while the other needs to fill the role of the M50/M50 Mark II as a fairly affordable "vlogger" camera. The 7DII DSLR and M50-series have been their two biggest successes in the last 6 or 8 years. The R7 (mirrorless 7DII) should be a robust model with no more than 24MP, dual card slots, very fast readout to avoid rolling shutter issues, form factor similar to R5/R6 and ability to share the BG-R10 grip those cameras use. It needs IBIS and an AF system similar to R3, though perhaps without Eye Control to keep cost reasonable. The 7DII was around $1700 or $1800 US when intro'd... But 8 years later we should expect an R7 to be $2000 US or a little more. They may need to use other mods to keep the camera from being too expensive. Perhaps it could be electronic shutter only (like Nikon Z9), though it needs a sensor protector to quickly drop in place whenever the lens is removed. An E shutter would allow very fast frame rates as well as silent mode, but should also have something user adjustable that audibly let's us know when shots are being taken. The M50/M50II replacement is a different matter. I don't know if it will need to be 24MP too or if it might increase to 32.5MP (like M6 Mark II and 90D). Emphasis will be on video, which I know little about. This model needs to be affordable... Around $1000 US or a little less (competes with Nikon Z50 and Sony a6400?). Whether it has a built in EVF or uses a separate one might be dictated by price. A problem with the separate EVF now available for M-series is that it occupies the hot shoe, so accessory flash can't be used at the same time. That needs to be addressed. Canon has stated there will be no EF-S style R-series lenses and there don't need to be. But they will still need at least a few "crop only" lenses. They just don't need to have a modified bayonet that prevents them being attached to the FF cameras (as is the case with the EF-S lenses for Canon APS-C DSLRs). There are already at least two such lenses in the Canon lens roadmap: An 18-45mm "kit" lens and an ultra wide 10-24mm. Other than those, full frame capable RF mount lenses can serve fine for now, but eventually Canon will need to develop at least a few more crop specific lenses. Canon needs to get the APS-C R-series cameras to market quickly. Nikon and Sony already have them. And Nikon is undoubtedly working on a mirrorless D500 since it was one of their most successful models. It is just a matter of time until Sony ups their game further. Fuji already has competitive cameras, only lacks a fast action capable AF system. OM Systems has figured out an AF system, though they are still M4/3.

I'm curious, what do you think of the newly announced R7 and R10? It seems that you were mostly spot on with your price and features estimations haha Personally I'm planning to get an R7.
@alanm.42982 жыл бұрын
@@carlosreyesf19 Well, Canon fooled me! The name had me thinking mirrorless 7DII. But what they intro'd is more of a successor to the 90D or T8I/850D. I'm not saying R7 is bad by any means. Just the opposite, in fact. It is a fantastic camera for the money! Amazing that it has an AF system similar to the $6000 R3, at 1/4 the price! (Also amazing is that the R10's AF is similar, too, for even less.) I predict Canon will sell R7 as fast as they can make them. I bet Sony is nervous, since the R7 out classes the a6600 in many respects, but only costs $100 more. Nikon is probably shocked, too. Canon needs some additional RF-S lenses quickly. There are a number of RF full frame lenses that will work well on the R7, but for example an ultra wide is still needed. Also perhaps a smaller macro and a mire upscale wqlk-aroind lens. I may change my mind, bur don't plan to run out to buy R7. They don't meet my immediate needs very well. I would like to work with that AF system and a few other features of the camera, but really need a vertical grip and am not a fan of the revised control layout. Regarding the latter, sure I could learn to use it, but it is so different from other cameras and switching between them will be just asking for trouble. I am not sure why Canon felt the need to mess with already very good ergonomics and control layout. Based on all I've seen so far, I probably will be highly recommending the R7 to people, even if it's not quite right for me peronally.

@@alanm.4298 Thanks for your detailed answer! I am very interested in the R7 mainly because of its video capabilities, as I'm not a pro photographer by any means (though I enjoy photography as a hobby). Like you said, the pricing is brilliant, I think it's an awesome all-rounder with few compromises. I currently have an SL3 so I was wondering if the R7 would feel to large and heavy (as opposed to the R10), but today I tried out the 90D and it is actually more comfortable to hold (my hands are large). So I've made up my mind, R7 it is.

@@carlosreyesf19 I'm sure you'll enjoy the R7. The R10 is a little smaller, but it lacks in body image stabilization. I haven't shot with SL3, but have a Canon M5 that I found uncomfortably light and small after using 7D-series and 5D-series cameras, all with grips, for many years. I ended up putting an L-bracket on the M5, which helped a little. I'm still not as quick handling it as I like... Small buttons and dials in unfamiliar places!

Can you address the fact that Adobe does such a horrible job with processing Cannon RAW files? I have an r5, came from my Sony a73 and I could not figure out for over a year why my RAW files looked so bad, even at normal ISO. I stumbled on a post that discussed it a bit and sure enough I downloaded a secondary RAW processing program, I am still in the 30 day trial, but I will probably end up paying over $100.00 for it. Months of shooting I was disappointed in the RAW files of the R5 and it was Adobe all along. My old a7r even in the RAW files you could see the clarity and sharpness in the eye, 2 years later I am getting back to that with my R5:)

Nice M6 Mark II b-roll! I've got one and considering another. I use it mostly for video (with an Atomos Ninja V to avoid the 30 minute per clip limiter). I do very much hope they continue the mount. They definitely need to make things clear. I'd like to see them take EF-M more into hybrid video photo territory.

I am making my final decision between an R3 and a Z9. I suspect the Z9 is a better camera but it's quite heavy. How do you think the auto-focus really compares ( I'm a birder) Is the 6k Video discernibly different than the 8K ? and also, the editing experience ( I use Premier Pro on windows) Much appreciated.

I am not a professional photographer, so I am OK with my current APS-C camera, the Canon T5i. I have lenses and filters to do strange things as needed. I am going to wait for the mirrorless wars to settle down a bit, and them MAYBE I'll see about getting one. One thing bad I heard about the Canon lineup was overheating in long videos. That wouldn't be a show stopper for me, since I really don't do videos, but it's something to consider.

Fun to watch pessimist prime go up against rose eyed wonder. But seriously, enjoyed the two-sided review. Have to admit, I am biased toward Canon. For me, the biggest points that Sad Eyed Sally made was about market segmentation and low end offerings. Segmentation: It seems Canon is stuck in time believing there truly is enough market demand for the segmentation they court with their line up. In my opinion, it’s time for a single mount line up that markets to beginners, advanced users and professionals. I would find a way to reintroduced Rebel line up that is based on the RF mount with low end lenses that caters to beginners. Then the Rebel line needs consolidation. The M6 II is a terrific camera for vloggers. Let’s face it, Canon must capture that market and neither the overheating R5/6 nor the under powered M6 compares with Sony. So, form of M6, power of R5, and no overheating would be a winner. Finally, I still like my G7 X III but damn, I wish it would record 4K without overheating. I can’t figure why Sony manages to get around video heating and Canon can’t. Surprised that didn’t come up in your comments, Eeyore.

Be aware - you get NO AF tracking in 4k120. So if this mode is important to you, thats a big downer in my experience. Also the AF is notable worse than on the R5. The usability (you have to activate it with a button and cant simply touch something to track it) AND the accuracy. Also: the battery drain is INSANE. Like 15 minutes runtime in 4k50 XF. Its crazy. You need at least 10 batterys for one day of shooting. Just consider these things before you pick one up ;-)

Yes. Look at Nikon Z mount APS-C. Ridiculous camera proportions, ridiculous lenses (and slow to boot because they had to artificially increase the gap to the more expensive 35mm lineup in terms of look and capability). It's all about the business, so you're better off with a brand that has a business focus on APS-C or MFT where can get lightweight native F2.8 zooms and F1.4 primes.
