Canon EOS R5 Versus EOS R - Which camera is for you?

[@derekv6479]

If you have a good amount of money, you get the EOS R. If you have a lot of money, you get an R5. Really is that simple

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Haha! So true!

[@lewisjones4158]

I have a lot but still worry about spending that much on a camera 😩

[@beau__]

What about the R6?

[@davecavanaugh3300]

Thank you for a fair comparison and thank you for recognizing the value of the EOS R. It has been unfairly overly critized for its imperfections, so much so, that other reviews neglect its strong points and value. So, thank you for your fairness and recognizing the R's value. You have a new subscriber, I look forward to more content. All the best!

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Thank you for the kind comment Dave! You are onto something there! I too think the R was really overlooked. It is a more than capable camera and still fits in nicely to Canon's lineup! All the best!

[@theresae5362]

This was the best comparison video that I’ve seen on KZbin. In years past, I would have bought the R5, but being on a budget, I needed something less expensive. The camera store was out of stock of all R series cameras (a testament to Canon’s popularity), so I decided to pre-order the R. Your video made me feel so much better about my choice. Thank you!

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Hey Theresa! Thank you so much for the kind comment! That means so much! And sorry for the slow response! I have been crazy busy over here with wedding season and haven't had time to check my KZbin comments. So glad to hear this video was helpful for you! Hope you are liking the EOS R. It is a great little camera. All the best!

[@LukeDuke17]

Best comparison on KZbin! I’ve tried out many cameras in the past a7iii, a6400, and the rp. I fell in love with the little rp but just wanted a few minor upgrades. I’ve been considering purchasing the R as I think it will fit all of my needs and then some, being a beginner. You’re video truly showcased everything to love on the R. Thank you.

Thanks, Shane! R photographer shooter here, having owned it for over a year. Of course the new stuff that comes along makes improvements, but I'm always baffled by the subsequent marginalization of the tech that came before (I can understand why 4k and slo-mo videographers get starry-eyed about the newest release.). So, while some are busy keeping up with new, and God bless 'em if they can afford to do that, I'm back here taking photos I love. The picture is the thing!

Thanks for a fair review of these cameras. I love my R!!! I don’t do sports or weddings. I do portraits and landscapes. For my use, it’s the best value with the highest resolution. The higher resolution keeps me from going to the R6, and the huge price jump keeps me from going to the R5. So, for the foreseeable future, I’ll stay with my lovely R!!!

[@JaredRibic]

Great video, as always. Ever since the Canon 5D Mk4 I've been hoping Canon would *allow us to save our customization/configurations/presets to a card* (or better yet save/load with the Canon Connect app since our phones are usually with us). I shoot with two bodies and after experiencing the incremental increase of customization options when setting up two 5D Mk4 bodies, two EOS R bodies, and now two EOS R5 bodies I really wish we could save/load settings. This is *available on the 1D-series* but we really need Canon to enable it for the R-series because of how extremely customizable they are. There is even more customization available in the EOS R5 than on the EOS R and we can expect that trend of complexity to continue with each future body. Imagine borrowing an R-series body from a friend but it's configured how they use it and you use yours differently. Or imagine renting a body as a backup/replacement and you need to spend a good 30-40 minutes *without getting interrupted* to copy your settings from one body to another, hopefully not missing a setting that you'll find out later when you need it the most. This has been on my ever-growing *CANON WISH LIST* since the 5D Mk4 and I would love to see this simple request become a reality.

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

100% YES. Every time I send my camera into CPS, or add another body, I know I am going to have to spend the evening re-setting it all up. And I always miss something.

[@victorcotto6699]

Shane, I respect your opinion and pose a question about these two cameras, and my debate about a purchase: 1. I am not a pro, and I'm looking for a travel camera, one to casually take pics when I'm in NYC, to take pics for promotional Yoga material (I'm a teacher), and I would describe myself as a entry level shooter who is ONLY interested in taking high quality STILLS. Have no interest in video features. 2. My interests in photo taking; travel such as landscape, portraits, street photography, Yoga promo materials, long exposed shots, nighttime cool shots and that's about it. 3. Money isn't necessarily an issue, but I can obviously benefit by purchasing a EOS R and a RF lens such as 24-70, and it'll be same cost as just the Eos R5 body. WILL I be happy 2-3 years from now if I buy the EOS R, get a lens, and save $ and will I be happy with the image quality and output? Or, should I just wait, save and just head first into the r5? I would love your insight.

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Hello Victor! Great question. For the types of shooting you are doing, you could save a lot of money and get the R and then have a great lens in the 24-70. The IQ is great on the R .I think if were you that's where I would start. As cheap as the R is right now, if you decide it is lacking, you can always sell it and buy the R5 later. Just my 2 cents. Hope that helps!

Do you think 5D3 or 5D4 would be an option? Or better get some more money to invest in R-series?

My reply is probably too late for you, but I would definitely go with the R system. So many cheap options out there like the R, RP or R8. All of them will give you great portraits and incredible AF!

Hello! Sorry for the slow time to respond. I had to take a break from KZbin as I was super busy with photoshoots and family life. I am pretty sure I was using the R5 on that section of the video.

[@epsonc882009]

Thanks for the vid. I got a R couple weeks ago and few things that I don’t like. The EVF is lagging big time when shooting moving subject. I didn’t realize it’s that bad. AF won get focus when the subject is far. Lens with IS is always on when the camera is on. It will drain the battery faster. I hope R5 solved these problems.

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Bummer. Yeah there is a significant price difference between the two, but there is a reason why. The R was a good first step for Canon into mirrorless and you can take some great photos with it, but the R5 is on a whole other level. The R6 is amazing too just it doesn't have the high resolution. All the best!

[@andrewphillips2520]

amazing video, well done. A lot of comparisons I've seen agree the EOS R files do seem to have a little more 'pop' and the R5 files are a bit 'flatter' (and as someone doing their research before upgrading, its my perception too). Even the videos in the IBIS test with the young boy seem more '3D' on the EOS R. What are your thoughts on this?

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Great observation! I think it is something you might notice if you are seeing them side by side, but if you just have one camera you wouldn't notice it. The R5 files have more dynamic range and a little more ability to lift shadows so though they initially might have less pop, you can always add it in post. I would rather have them start flat and add pop later. But it really is very subtle. Hope that helps! Well done to do your research!

However I think this is also going to be my setup. I already have the r and I am in Love with it. I saw a Jessica Kobesi video when she was using a canon dslr 5div and this other guy was using an rp. He blew Jessica out of the water. There was no competition there. She was trying to figure out lighting etc - he was done. I immediately got an EOSR. That camera latches onto my eye like a gazelle. Love it - I need a second body to replace my 5d3. So either another r or an R5 But the Sony a7s4 will be interesting.

[@andrewdoeshair]

I was shooting on an R and RP for a while, then sold the RP for a second R because a sweet deal came my way and I couldn't pass it up. This happened just days before the release of the R5 and R6, but I had no interest in those cameras because the specs on both are either so negligibly "better" than my R (10 bit vs 8 bit video means almost nothing to my work), or so wildly "better" than my R (8k means absolutely nothing to my work), that they didn't matter to me. However, I borrowed an R5 for a few weeks and only then realized that I had been FIGHTING with my RP and R's functionality. I never fully realized it because I guess subconsciously I thought my complaining about the micro frustrations with the R and RP probably meant user error, but my 5Diii felt like a part of my hand and I could quickly spray and pray for some hail marry shots without looking and usually get them, however the RP and R require looking at the camera, getting in to menus, and using both hands to do soooo much stuff, not to mention waiting even a second for the camera to snap to attention at times. With the added buttons and programmable features to these new (old, because the 5D had them!) buttons (like customizing focusing modes to different back buttons) I can grab a single point in one-shot or throw the Hail Mary tracking in servo without even glancing at the camera-- no toggling, no menus, no checking anything, no looking at the camera at all. I'm days away from buying an R6 and have been watching tons of R5/R6 reviews to see who else cares about what I care about. Your video came closest to addressing the issue, and I applaud you for being so practical and realistic with the review. In a controlled environment where I have the luxury of looking through menus the R is a phenomenal camera, but it's increasingly frustrating to use in real world situations where you need the camera to just BE READY and respond as quickly as your muscle memory does.

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Hello Andrew! You absolutely nailed it. The R6/R5 ergonomics and usability are on a whole other level than the R/RP. It is the sum of 1,000 little changes.

This video was nice to watch. I need your opinion. I want to start shooting events.

How did you get around that autofocus limitation with the EOS R in low light situations? I hope you can give me and opinion based on your experience.

Hello! Fun that you want to start shooing events! Though the R isn't as good in low light focusing situation, it is still good and will do just fine for you if you are starting out!

Hi Shane, thanks for the real world reviews. I had an issue recently when shooting vertically and eye auto-focus. I was so confident in the eye detection AF that I was not paying attention but the eye AF was not working properly when I went vertical so I missed focus on some important images. You mentioned changing the AF zone when vertical? Any more detail on this? It would be nice if the R5 would recognize you are shooting vertically and the eye AF to work exactly the same. What has your experience been? thanks

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Hey! Yeah I use the large zone vertical and horizontal zones a lot in servo mode. I have the m-fn button programmed to switch between AF zones. It face detects in those modes. Super helpful nailing the focus when subjects are moving! Hope that helps!

@@ShaneLongPhotography thanks! yeah, I need to try it out to see how that works and if I get better results. you da man

[@MazdaMike0122]

I was excited to see the R5 listed as in stock on Canons website the other day. I still have my money so I'm starting to doubt their information was accurate.

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

It has been such a long wait! Hope it comes in soon for you! You are going to love it.

[@MazdaMike0122]

@@ShaneLongPhotographyThanks but I chatted with Canon this evening. It says in stock but it's actually still on backorder.

[@Acorable]

Thank you for this comparison!! I know this isn't your exact expertise, but I love doing pet photography and am planning to upgrade from my point and shoot. I feel like the R5 is too much for me, but do you think the EOS R has fast enough frame rates for pets and quick moving objects?

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Great question! The R would do ok for pets. But I would think about the R6 or wait for Canon's next entry level mirrorless as the R6 and R5 have the animal detection and it works incredibly with pets!!! Here is where is show the animal AF in one of my other R5 videos! kzbin.info/www/bejne/omnMq5p5hdOlfsU

[@Acorable]

@@ShaneLongPhotography Definitely! I figured the R's frame rates are a bit low... but it is on sale right now and about $1k cheaper than the R6. But R6 seems to be the better choice. I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra $1k! Thank you for answering, Shane!

[@m77ast]

Did you use the same lenses for both cameras?

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Absolutely!

[@victorcotto6699]

When shooting in RAW, how many FPS does the canon Eos r shoot? Also, when in Auto focus, does it shoot at 5 fps or 8 fps? I'm confused. Help!

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Great question! I didn't know, so I just got it out of the bag and tried it out! When I was in single shot, with just the regular AF point, it did 8fps. When I switch to full auto and servo mode, it did 5fps. Hope that helps!

[@victorcotto6699]

@@ShaneLongPhotography You the best!

[@ALJessica]

Do you shoot these videos in 1080/24 or 1080/30? :)

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Great question. 1080/30.

[@xsaviangames2705]

With the price of the R5, I’ll just buy 2 EOS R that I know it won’t over heat lol and still be able to buy 4 memory cards and a decent cheap lens lol

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

The R is a great camera! Such a good value.

[@Dushan-Np_Camera_Lens_unboxing]

Great video!👍

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Thank you! Hope it was helpful!

[@m77ast]

Even with a phone the R5 has better dynamic range. The black was just a bit blacker. 😃

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

It's true! You definitely can do more with the R5 files!

[@phatcrayonz]

Thank you for this!!!! 😃

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

You are so welcome!

[@Patchez91]

This camera can be out in the rain?

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

It's up to your comfort level. I have used mine in the rain many times and not had issues. I know others though that always put plastic bags over them.

[@TheGrindahl]

This was a big help. Thank you :)

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Glad it helped! All the best!

[@soona11111]

great job!!

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Thanks!!

[@robertbohnaker9898]

The R’s shutter sounds an old grandfather’s clock. Seems pretty slow too compared to the newer camera bodies…😊

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Haha! Yeah the newer models are a lot better in that regard!

[@nigelwest3430]

I bought an R when they came out, I've looked at the R5/6 & 3 but for my needs they offer nothing new ................... My favourite ever shots were taken on my old 7D and M5

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Those are great cameras! You can make amazing photos with all of them!

[@jeffcsMN]

So good! 🤓

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

So fun to nerd out over gear :)

[@gracefullygraceful9776]

Surely the R6 would have been a better test for the R.

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

True. If only I owned both!

[@6mazing]

Yooo MN resident myself!

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Yo Yo! Great to meet!

[@Dorielthenpc]

Any good lenses

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

So many!!! Check my channel for reviews on them! RF 35, 50, 85... All the new RF lenses are insane!

[@nakinaki7991]

Shane: A second r5 , and im thinking i can't ever buy that camera 😝😔

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Hahaha! It helps to justify when it is my full-time job! :)

[@abeeralmohammed]

I think Eso R 🐬

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Great camera.

[@gerardferry3958]

buy an R and wait for an R1 if your serious and do not want to be usurped by the R1

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

That camera will be incredible!

[@Scyth3934]

2:23 No way lucky

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

:) Thanks!

[@lmallard3788]

The r5 is almost $3000 more than the r

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Now that it is getting older the difference is getting less, but you are right, it is a lot more!

[@diegopendinorodriguez4829]

Eos R better alwalys

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

The R is a great value!

[@angellondian7628]

Thank you for comparison. I own an R. How would you suggest I change my color settings to match the R5 colors. Create a custom white balance and add more magenta?

[@ShaneLongPhotography]

Great question. Yeah they are different. Not sure exactly what to do there. It's part of the reason I ended up switching to just two R5 cameras so I wouldn't have to deal with the differences. I know in Lightroom you can build camera specific presets. That could save you some time!
