Canon EOS R5 UNBOXING / FIRST LOOK!

[@Ttales]

Heya Armando! A bunch of things that would be nice to know about the R5: 1. rolling shutter in all modes 2. sharpness/clarity in all modes on 4K timeline 3. ISO & dynamic range performance compared to Sony (also with photos, since Canon's C-log is limited and the camera is getting the C-log 3 update eventually) Cheers!

[@bladerealm124]

Pretty much exactly what I’m waiting to hear to decide whether to keep my pre-order and make the full switch from my Sony A7RIV

[@OUCGN]

@@bladerealm124 Don't rush wait for the sony announcement, just 9 more days;)

[@lnz971]

@@OUCGN if he got a A7R4 he's a photographer so what's the sony announcement will change??

[@OUCGN]

lnzEz ur right

[@kevindiossi]

What I think we'd all like to see: Noise and sharpness comparison of all 4K modes. Deliberately put the camera into an overheating situation and show us ways to handle it (i.e. shooting in the available modes Canon stated) and see how it might interrupt the on-set process. Obviously, pushing the camera to the limits of typical outdoor use and see how it does. And, my personal favorite, treat the camera like a 4K machine and only shoot 4K 30p with supplemented 60p/120p clips...I assume the camera will be incredible in this mode.

[@waynewalkerorg]

Would love to see how the R5 works with the Ninja V (especially in the case of extended 4K60fps shooting). Also, I think we all wanna see how great that 10-bit internal C-log codec is compared to a cine cam and the closest cine it grades to!

[@Malick333]

Amen on this. How Ninja V recording potentially helps with overheating in 4K 60.

[@PursuitPerfectSystem]

R6 external vs R5 internal 4k 60 video would be the perfect comparison imo

[@djelekar]

+1 Can we make R5/R6 a video camera with external recording in basic framerates 4k24. Also worth testing if they overheat in 1080p modes?

[@januszian]

DEFINETILY this! Would an Atomos help with the overheating situation in un-cropped 4K 60fps?

[@GarethWalkerPhotographer]

Yes please this. Can the R5 do 4K 60P HQ (downsampled) unlimited to a Ninja V/Shogun 7

[@climbermacleod]

I'd love to know the time to overheat in all the 4K modes at room temp indoors and how the downsampling is achieved (i.e. 2 by 2 pixel binning or other). Thanks!

[@AllgoodthingsTv]

I'd like to see a color comparison with the EOS R, side by side video and pics straight out of the cameras. A lot of people are going to consider selling their EOS R to upgrade to the R5 and seeing the image quality side by side could help folks make that decision.

[@johansermartinez9287]

Agreed

[@MattShockley]

I predict a lot of people selling their EOS R will regret it when they realize they will need to spend $10k on a new computer that can render and playback multiple 8k files simultaneously.

[@davidanderson4705]

I would like to see how close you could match the EOS R and R5 when shooting in C-log.

[@nachingoassafa]

Pls make a video about the Dynamic Range comparison between Canon EOS R5 vs SONY Alpha 7R IV for photographs...

[@bladerealm124]

I haven’t been able to find this anywhere and is one of the last things I’m looking to hear about before deciding to make the full switch from my Sony A7RIV

[@LunaScopeJustin]

The dynamic range will go up when the new firmware drops canon log 3

[@andrewporfyri559]

I asked Canon to release or provide me with some information about the R5 dynamic range and Canon’s response was that they won’t release such data as there is no industry standard to measure dynamic range, go figure.

[@Mark-in6ze]

Can't wait! I'd like to see the rolling shutter in the pictures while using the electronic shutter and how long the camera will record without overheating using something to help dissipate the heat like a cage.

[@davegrice3423]

Rolling shutter testing while using the e-shutter would be much appreciated.

[@ericgrayphoto]

Maybe a low light/high iso comparison (with stills as well as video) would be nice to see.

[@NirnBootMod]

I would like to see first how long you can record in 4K continuously without the camera stopping or overheating.

[@nickscast6223]

love to see its video rolling shutter & low light performance vs the EOS R :)

Do a rolling shutter test in all possible settings. Thank you!

[@Malick333]

Impact of overheating reduction when using a dummy battery to external power.

[@f_r_e_d]

1) ISO and noise test at night 2) EF glass use to test difference in AF 3) Battery life test - All stills on one battery charge - All video on one battery charge - Combination 50/50 on one battery charge

[@mikebanks4796]

Hey Armando, stoked for you man! I’d love to see a real world test with the 4k/120fps because that 15 minute rating is what has me the most hung up on taking the dive into the R5. I understand you’ll probably get a ton of requests, so either way I’m excited to see your upcoming videos on this camera! 👊

[@dsipictures]

Nice video, and I would like to see how good is the lowlight performance :)

[@VulgarMenace96]

Mando, there is no discernable reason why your videos should look so CINEMATIC🔥🔥

Overheat test, Overheat test with Ice pack on the back. Overheat test with heatsink and fan on the back. 4K normal mode compare with 4K oversample mode. Human eye focus, Animal focus. IBIS with EF lens, and older manual lens.

[@NoTicket]

1. Video quality in 4k non-oversampled mode. This is the only mode allowing unlimited recording at room temperature. Would love to see what it looks like. 2. Rolling shutter in 1080, 4k, 8k and eshutter photos.

[@sliceofmymind]

I hate to say it but both the R5 and R6 has programmed 30 min internal recording limits. It would need an external recorder to go beyond the 30 mins.

[@jordanhwang]

Can you test the IBIS in a real world handheld documentary situations? I'm mostly interested in walking and talking shots, sitting in a bumpy car filming a subject / shooting broll out the window, and how well does the IBIS work with telephoto lenses. Thanks Armando!

[@jpemile]

Rolling Shutter for sure.

[@CreativeRyan]

Smooth unboxing 🙌🏼

[@fabeaux8623]

Armando I cant wait for your review!! I've consolidated everything I would want to see talked about as mainly an event photographer with part time in video. - LOW LIGHT & HIGH ISO both in photography and video. - ROLLING SHUTTER in all video modes - DYNAMIC RANGE both in photo and video - BATTERY ANALYSIS for just photo and just video (will it really die after a ton of short electronic bursts? 240 photos will only take 12 seconds if pressed continuously....) - EVF ANALYSIS vs Mirror (is it fast & accurate, main reason I haven't ditched the 1DX series) - EF LENSES how well does the IBIS interact with the adapter using EF lenses.

[@FrancescoSpace]

Great first look! Could you please do an in-depth test of the camera recording modes to see if it easily overheats? Try it with short clips too, meaning that you start recording, then stop, start again... which is common in live events etc. I mean, you aren’t always recording... Also, you should check if there’s much rolling shutter, which might be another major issue. And see how’s the video quality in the different recording modes / frames per second.

[@StevenHoagland]

Do you think the battery grip will reduce the heat build up in the camera?

[@JQhardge]

Great unboxing... I’d like to see maybe short scenes or scene remakes like you’ve done in the past..or maybe a short film. I guess anything that shows off fully graded image quality.

[@pigzai1991]

Pls shoot a short documentary video with this camera. Would love to see editing as well and what is your conclusion on it.

[@StevenHoagland]

How serious are the rolling shutter effects in electronic shutter mode?

[@AesonRose]

Okay, so could you show how the Camera performs at 8K Raw and 4K at 24fps? - everyone is complaining about the overheating but the way I see it, who the heck needs a 30min 8k raw file at 30fps or a 20min 4k 120fps clip??

[@Feesh79]

Because you guys are missing the point, we aren't complaining about it overheating in 8k, that's understandable, we are complaining about it overheating even in 4k 30 and 4k60, even the R6 will overheat in 4k 30 and canon loyalists keep deferring to the "you don't need 8k for that long" instead of addressing the unusability in 4k60. When have you ever had an entire wedding last 20 minutes? But I appreciate canon for at least making progress, just took them 5 years

[@AesonRose]

@@Feesh79 let's be real. What is "Unusable?" - that is such an overused term nowadays. If you need to shoot a 20min 4k clip at 60fps - even at a wedding, you are wasting you're space lol Also, there have been zero overheating issues at 24fps reported - why not just shoot the wedding at the ideal frame rate of 24 instead of 30 or 60? I see what you mean, but just because one wedding video person can't use this camera for an overrated tripod shot at 4k60fps that's basically never going to see the light of day - doesn't mean it's unusable. Most MILLION dollar budget films don't even record at that high resolution for that long - why would the common freelance filmmaker? It just doesn't make sense for people to complain so much lol

[@Thebasedconservative]

I’d like to see if the 4k 30 still does not overheat in sunny outdoor setting, not a controlled 23 degrees C controlled environment. Living in southern Thailand, that a major concern of mine. Great content as usual brother.

[@arunbalakrishnan8978]

Dynamic range comparison with sony and panasonic. Especially with Canon Log 3

[@koreybartos]

Rad, let's see some proper mode quality comparisons and some matching with the C500MKII. 🙌

[@MrDonuts10]

Regardless of the outcome don’t forget this is not a pro cinema camera.. Just cause it does 8K for limited time it doesn’t mean we should expect it to compete and hold up just like it. Maybe we should expect a comparison with another mirrorless- like the new Sony coming out. But anyway. I’d still be curious to see.

[@christianmackin9465]

I would still like to see a comparison to understand exactly how the image quality differs from the C500 Mk II. All the I/O and audio differences are obvious. It is not clear however why the color depth, bit rates, IBIS and resolution of the R5 don’t make the image quality it better than the C500 Mk II. Additional factors that could be considered beyond strict image quality could be RF glass options and AF capabilities. In the end, what makes the C500 Mk II significantly better in image quality than the R5? Why will the R5 not make the A-camera spot when shooting professional commercials and documentaries based on image quality alone and not workflow.

[@koreybartos]

@@MrDonuts10 Surely. But to assume this won't be used as a B and C camera is silly. I wouldn't ever use this for any long form content, but Armando has been using/grading/and editing canon cameras for a long while. It'd be nice to see a sequence cut with both cameras. It'll obviously lack the latitude you can get from the C500MKII, but I am curious to see if you can run that 8K RAW side by side and get mad close. And naturally I want to see if there is a noticeable difference between the IBP and ALL-I modes when compressed by KZbin. These are the kind of practical tests I like to see.

[@koreybartos]

@@christianmackin9465 The R5 will probably cut in nicely with the cinema line, but unless you have a handful of bodies you're not going to be using any of the 8K modes reliably as an A cam for long format stuff like documentaries and I wouldn't take just an R5 into a commercial shoot until I know for sure it can run for a good while at 4K 24p ALL-I. And then let's hope they give us RAW for 4K in a firmware update.

Dynamic Range and Light fallout please :)

[@ShaneCrouch]

Great video Armando, Leave 8k till last, focus on practical, how is the 4k non oversampled, uncropped clog all-i, does it overheat, does using the 4k slo mo for few minutes here and there overheat and keep you from using 4k clog non oversampling. Basically can we film a 4 k clog uncropped all-i non oversampled movie with slo mo here and there without it overheating at all? How is the 45 mp compared to the problems the 5ds had? Does it have a built in intervalometer? How is the zebra, any other features like that. How is the ibis? Noone cares about 8k. Thank you for considering our input.

[@idin.aazami]

Fantastic first look! Something I would love to see covered, is a review of just the user experience of the camera! The Canon Eos R5 and R6... I'm just in awe! These cameras are phenomenal!! Canon disappointed me for a while, I wanted to use their cameras, as they are wonderfully engineered, the company looks out for creatives, the glass is phenomenal, colour science is great, and I want to just use their dual pixel autofocus for videos. But the inherent lack of modern features, and their constant crippling of their mid range and enthusiast cameras just made me feel cheated. No longer is that the case! I'm thoroughly impressed, and now, the only camera I would ever consider buying if I was in the market for a new camera, would be most likely the R6!!

[@BoxroomSweden]

Would also be very interested in knowing which movie modes can be recorded to the SD card and which requires the CFExpress card :)

[@JaredHoyman]

4k 60 and 4k 120fps and how long does it take to overheat would be my question. I ordered the R6 because 4k 60fps is all I need for video walk through's, but 120fps in 4k wouldn't be bad either. As alway thanks for all you do in the community.

[@mameri72]

Could you please explore the overheating issue - my SPECIFIC question is if there is any sort of overheating in 4k while recording 24 fps in hot weather conditions. I remember reading that is no overheating in 4K 24FPS, however, I'm still curious.

[@TechWithAdil]

Waiting for your Review and Comparison with Sony Cameras and how easy CLog is to color grade compared to Slogs

[@MrSUKH]

Shooting RAW vs Shooting 10 bit Pro Res footage. That’s what I would love to see. That how RAW and prores stack oppose to each other in terms of Dynamic range in harsh sunny day. How much highlights we can recover like we do in Photos.

[@ImaginationBrothers]

Is this a worthy GH5 replacement? Only con I see is recording limits and price.

[@rafalgelzok]

For video? Wait for A7S3. For photo and video - definitely yes or switch to Sony A7RIV, if you don't need 4k60.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

This is far beyond the gh5 just for the af. Although I would go with the r6 for the price since some of the specs on the r5 is pretty overkill.

[@StennyThomas]

I was planning on the R5 being my main cam once I start shooting weddings but the recording limits and overheating issues is why I’m hanging on to the Gh5. Still gonna get the R5, for its autofocus, full frame, and color science. That said, for long form video, I’d hang on to the Gh5. It’s still an absolute beast so long as you can pull focus and manage lighting.

[@marioslrzn]

Rafał Gelzok A7R4 is still 8 bit so there’s going to be a big difference in all modes with 422 10bit, and now with 8 stops of IBIS, rf to ef ND adapter

Next would be the frame rate: can it really hit 12fps and 20fps, and what speed cards were being used. I'd also love to test the dynamic range, and see if it really is better on this R5 sensor -- that's a big one for me to find out. And also wondering how the higher ISO is. Thanks!!! :)
