Du filmst in Portait-Modus? oder doch eher Landscape? Also wozu sollten dann Tasten am Lüftergriff sein?

[@paulhancock]

It sometimes feels like we're losing our way a little bit, as the focus is so much on higher res/fps video... These bodies are getting pretty big now for added cooling, and here we have a BIG ugly grip with a fan for video purposes. For a stills shooter like myself (not hardcore sports and wildlife), these new cameras are just so overly complicated and it feels like we're paying for hybrid features we don't need or want... And so older models become super attractive at a discount. My main camera is still a Sony A7R III(A) because I'm just not even slightly tempted to 'upgrade', paying a ton of money for features I won't use, with absolutely no improvement in IQ. I know I'm whining but whatever... I'd just love a stills-focused high-end model with the latest AF but far less emphasis on video.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

The thing is you don't need a new camera all the time. Video is where a lot of money is at right now and social media prioritizes video so that is why cameras are that way but if a person is fine with a 5dmark ii or something then he can just stick what that until they need something else. People need to understand this.

[@charliipresley]

Dude you're spot on. I've been shooting some film and a Canon 5D Mark II lately. The Mark II is still so solid and nostalgic for me. Great photos still and i'm not sorting through 10,000 pictures of my kid playing every night :)

[@robcarr9968]

R5 doesn't look big and series 1 have always been big and tacky. I get what you say but imagine a world where the r5mkii didn't have impressive video features, it'd be dead in the water vs competitors, truth be told most professionals now need to offer photo AND video, so unless they make another R version we probably will keep seeing this trend.

Fact is that they released the R3 one year after they released the flagship 1dxiii. There is no way they were going to release another flagship that fast. Canon always releases their flagship in the year of the Olympics. The 1dxiii was released in 2020, and though the Olympics were canceled due to Covid, it WAS the year of the Olympics. I KNEW, and have been telling anyone who would listen, that the next flagship would be released in 2024! Here we are! Oh, and it's an awesome camera well worthy of the flagship title! It may not be your cup of tea, but it's a dream camera for working sports and photojournalism pros!

[@mdhazeldine]

The R5 Mk II looks like an amazing camera. The only niggles are the LCD articulation being a bit basic (why can't they do a fancy Sony/Nikon style tilt AND flip mechanism?) and the price.

R5ii may have had better cooling performance if it wasn't sat flat down on a smooth surface, doesn't the air flow out of the bottom there?

[@definedphotography]

yep, was thinking that the vent was blocked/impeded by sitting on a flat surface. Still, at least it doesn't have the 30min recording limit. A nice bonus.

[@lesnayalesichka]

it can if the production company uses copper heatsinks. But they're more expensive than aluminum

[@LeesChannel]

No, it flows up from the bottom and out the side

[@PPYTAO]

@@LeesChannel so with the bottom being blocked, flow is blocked. You can’t expel air if you can’t suck in air to replace it. Whether it comes in the bottom and out the side, or in the side and out the bottom, if one of those points is closed off, the system doesn’t work. Perhaps is still has 10% efficiency, it could probably suck some air in through the out vent, but it would be very turbulent and inefficient.

[@LeesChannel]

@@PPYTAO It doesn't matter, there are no fans in the camera. The only way there would be airflow would be forced air from the battery fan grip. Also, it was recorded on a hotel floor, very far from a "stress test." The reality is that these cameras will fare worse in real world conditions, in the heat when the sun is hitting their black painted bodies. Even with the battery fan there is minimal difference in Canon's guidance. The issue is that Canon uses an archaic process node for their sensors and chips, 300nm last I heard, so you can't expect them to run as cool as Sony's. I don't think this is going to be something that Canon resolves any time soon, and even if they had, the software limits would likely still be in place, because Canon uses record time as a differentiator between these and professional cine cameras.

[@_oe_o_e_]

So there are vents now, is it not weather sealed now?

[@numbersix8919]

It's still "environmentally sealed" as they say. I think Lok said the air channel runs through a graphite heat sink inside the camera. It's a heat exchanger, not a ventilator.

[@mcunner]

What's the main difference between the R3 and R1 to make it the flagship as some features of the R3 aren't in the R1? Seems like R1 is just an update to the R3 and not worthy of being it's own line, no?

[@charlesjames9783]

Nice vid. Two cameras for different applications. The R1 is for pro sports shooters getting paid to get the shot. The R5 is for Birding and Events where the detail matters! Weddings where the Brides dress, ring, hair, and cake need to look amazing. Models all applies with emphasis on clothes. Speed is not and issue and you usually have control over lighting. Being able to blow them up and pleasing skin tones are a must.

[@Thehackerguy2000]

Still baffled 4K over heats it in 45mins. And a battery fan grip with no vertical controls, like wtf is cannon doing?

[@epsonc882009]

it would be overheat faster when the camera is under the sun in summer

[@LeesChannel]

They are way behind in process nodes on their sensors, so they overheat far easier than Sony sensors. I remember back when the Samsung NX1 came out, Samsung was using a 32nm process, and Canon was using a 300nm process (I forget what Sony was using, but it was far behind Samsung as well.) I wouldn't be surprised if they have not moved very far beyond that 300nm process even to this day.

[@marquezjohnston]

Damn I haven't see a video from kai in a while! It's nice to see the R1 is finally out

[@jimmynordstromphotography]

The blackout free shooting probably makes a difference if you turn off image preview. At least on my R5 having image preview turned on, the camera tries to show the last taken image for 2 seconds or whatever it's set to instead of showing live view in between the shots. In continuous It's basically like looking at a stop motion movie, completely horrible to shoot like that. By turning off image preview I get a much smoother and nicer experience but with blackout. Also the 40 fps limit is probably because RF lenses have their aperture designed to work up to 40 fps. So you can shoot 40 fps on f/16 if you like to. Other companies often have caveats like that you have to shoot wide open. Sonys newer lenses work up to 30 fps and the older one only up to 15 fps as example. Great video as usual, keep up the good work bros!

[@77dris]

WTF is a "bending sensor" and why is "only 24 mp" not good enough for wildlife. So many people online buy into the YT spec FOMO. I've had 8mp printed on billboards and they look amazing. I've had 10mp files printed on large wall size prints for about 10 years... look amazing even up close. I've upscaled 24mp files to 45mp to compare and often can't see any real IRL differences, even zoomed in to 100%. Using even basic upscale like Adobes Superscale, my 24mp files look better than 45mp files on screen and printed. And of course all the above applies to cropping as well. The lens and af accuracy matter more than going from 24 to 45mp in real world.

[@andrzejstankowski8934]

​@@77dris I have R3 it is graet camera but some times 24mp is too low. I have to use biger focal length lens or reduce distance to the subject. Sorry upscaling do nothing, it is only copying the same nearest pixels, the printer driver does the same, if orginal image is too small. I was waiting for R1 and meanwhile they released the second R3, which is not much different. They improved the autofocus, after all there was nothing left to improve, it works perfectly in R3. Flagship without 8K video, not good. I want a camera built like the R3, R1 45 mp 40 fps, 16 bit RAW dynamics, with GPS, with a modern 3-2nm processor, which will not need windmills, this time they pack an old processor that has been heating up for quite a few years. A flagship is a flagship without compromise, that's what you pay for.

So it looks like it over greater because you blocked the bottom vents by sitting it flat on a table. Try it on a tripod for a real world test.

There is no way in 2024 I would buy a big fugly chunky camera like those Canons. I'll stick with my Fujifilm XT5,XT30 and lenses.

love your reviews, great as allways. I still go with my DSLR 1D X Mark III. just the best cam I ever had! Still see no reason for me to go dslm !

Canon believes that they will sell hundreds of thousands of units because people really want their new cameras. Hahahahaha……….. not at those prices.

R5 II is now the best hybrid out there. The R1 is kind of not necessary at all, especially for the price I don't know who would buy it to be honest.

It’s heartbreaking how businesses connecting Africans to the Western world often treat us as less than we deserve. It feels like they don’t see our value, our humanity. Why should we settle for service that’s far below the standards offered elsewhere? We deserve better. Always. “Bought a Canon EOS R6 Mark II on Oct 19, used it for just 2 weeks, and the cutting sync got faulty. Seller (ustin7070) directed me to Canon. Took it to their repair shop in Abuja-they sent it to Lagos but returned it still faulty, saying they ‘forgot’ to change the sensor. Now the R6 Mark II is unusable, and despite their promise to fix it by Saturday (yesterday), no one is responding to my messages or emails. This is beyond frustrating, Canon! How can such an expensive camera come with such poor service? #Canon #PhotographyIssues #CustomerSupportFail”

everytime new one comes out, its getting worse.

What's the point of a Canon mirrorless if it is as big as a dslr. I'll stick with Sony.

[@endsommer]

Bei den großen Teleobjektiven ist die Größe der Kamera Nebensache. Und größere Body heißt auch mehr Platz für sinnvolle Tasten.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Mount still closed? Sorry Canon, all the bodies are good enough already…we only want an open mount.

Canon verkauft noch immer sehr gut ihre Kameras, das wird sich mit der R1 und R5 II nicht ändern. Auch ist das Gebotene doch wirklich gelungen - mit Alleinstellungsmerkmalen.

[@Work_Data_PV]

where is the magnesium alloy chassis? cameras are going backwards. they are smaller and softer and overheat... sure they handle more data but they probably wouldnt in a bigger body like their predecessors. i just dont get it they seem like they are doing it on purpose to later down the line releases a MKIII or IV with better cooling and make you buy a new camera. why are we as consumers accepting such behaviour?

[@mbismbismb]

How do u know it is not mag alloy inside? The structure is from mag alloy

[@Work_Data_PV]

@@mbismbismb FULL BODY MAG ALLOY GALOREEEE! i want tough feeling cams like 5D and 1D confidence inspiring that makes me abuse it to feel proper and not baby it. i use it in some harsh conditions so i need that. but honestly i dropped my cam only 2 times (R6) cracked and looks like terrible. doesnt look like a battle scar more like its done with life and wants to kill itself. i have to use it with a cage and be very careful with it.

[@mbismbismb]

@@Work_Data_PV well be gratefull that this has the same grade as 1 DX mark iii weather and dust sealing.. go abuse... have u watch the eos RP review where they bring it to the snow, they dropped it etc and still fine... i rarely see a canon camera broke easily unless u intended so hard to break it

[@Work_Data_PV]

@@mbismbismb 1- why should i be greatful when we are paying for sometimes incremental changes or even sometimes downgrades. 2- which ones have same weather sealing as 1D? R5 II? R1? R6 I? if the R1 didnt it would be a big disrespect to the canon users especially with the price tag. if the R5 and R6 do, well ok good thats a worthy improvement but im sure they are not as ive read i can use my R6 in wet conditions only is small splashes. 3- RP? only if you intend to? have you seen what Kai Wong did to 7D on digital revs channel? basically set it on fire, put it in a tub of water and froze it and it still worked. we need that kind of test and proofs to be asured. 4- 5D still sells from the old prices brand new while many R line models are losing half their prices off the shelves. good for us consumers to buy but what does it say that we are not paying attention to?

[@endsommer]

@@Work_Data_PV Die R1 und auch R3, R5, R5 II sind so abgedichtet wie die 1D-Serie. Und wenn ich dann eine R6 kaufe, darf ich für den kleineren Preis nicht das erwarten, was die 1D-Serie kann bzw. die Nachfolger. Die R1 kann schon mal mehr und wird wohl auch noch mehr Funktionen bekommen, die Firmware war bei der Aufnahme noch lange nicht bei 1.0.0 angekommen.

[@charliipresley]

I just preordered 10 R1s. No way you can get a good picture with anything less than an R1. NO WAY.

R1....I remember when Canon used to lead this segment. Everything changes.

[@endsommer]

Wer ist denn sonst so führend? Wer hat alles drin, was der Markt hergibt? Jeder Hersteller hat seine Dinge, die nur er drin hat und andere nicht. Dazu ist die R1 noch eine Vorserie - die Firmware noch weit von Endstand entfernt.
