[@abhishekk073]

What an amazing video guys, I almost forgot that I was watching R8 Review. Just Got lost in the beautiful memories you have clicked. Love from india 🇮🇳

[@Soersha]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

Footage is amazing! You captured such great shots of your trip. Colors and editing are fantastic.

I want to!

[@leobelizan570]

By far my favorite video showcasing this camera. Great job on making it such a pleasant watch! Was wondering what your experience with the battery life and overheating was like at 24fps?

[@Soersha]

Thank you, I appreciate that! I didn't notice any overheating or battery problems.

[@giaphonganh5297]

you guys are so lovely! love your footage and sound design as well, I had a very relaxing time watching this :)

[@robertbohnaker9898]

Yeah I think from other reports the R8 has the same AF system as the R6 mk II. It’s got to be that schlocky kits lens. The images and color science are beautiful . Thanks. 😊

[@elenacharalampous209]

Your video is awesome and the quality of R8 is in an upper level. The colors are straight out of the camera or you color graded?

[@troyflatland5299]

PLEASE tell me where you were at 14:22 also just want to say that I ordered this camera tonight after watching your video. I watched literally every KZbin video about it before ordering, seriously, all of them, not kidding, and nobody’s came close to showing visually what it can do with video like yours did. Thank you so much!

[@Soersha]

That is super cool to hear, I’m so glad I could help! Thanks for watching :) Also, the location is the mall in Tokyo that houses Tsutaya Books.

[@shashankpriyanshu9955]

Hey can you share the exact setting. I've only kit lens ​@@Soersha

[@luisdiazstudio]

Great video! love the colors on the video, is this a LUT and if so can you share where I can get it I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much! I use Forestry Film LUTS.

[@JakeOski]

Great footage, looks like an epic trip too :)

[@Soersha]

Thank you! It definitely was :)

[@Sergey_Sergeev]

Thank you very much for showing it. It seems to be a very useful and light weight combination of camera and lens. I see it was very hot there. Did you get overheating problem?

[@Soersha]

You are quite welcome! And it was incredibly hot, but I surprisingly didn't notice any big overheating problems.

[@poppacapnurass2608]

Lovely holiday. I've been to most of those spots and thanks for brining back memories. IIRC, in your vid you say that the R8 does not have any IS in camera. It does though.

[@Soersha]

The r8 does not have in-body image stabilization. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@kazzzyamauchi]

Very nice video)❤ and amazing quality for this lens

[@Soersha]

Aw, thank you so much! :)

[@joaomarveloso1049]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing. Which mode of autofocus did you use?

[@Soersha]

Thank you so much! All the settings are shown at the end of the video :)

[@xkben90]

I actually bought the RF 24-50 kit lens separately to use as a walk-around and throw-away lens for my R8. I have the RF 15-35 L lens, but the 24-50 is so compact that it makes it so much more enjoyable if you have enough light. My guess with your autofocus issues is that you maybe need a firmware update or maybe the lens wasn’t allowing the camera to produce enough light. All cameras struggle to focus in low light, and the RF 24-50 most likely wasn’t enough even after cranking up your ISO.

[@Soersha]

It is a very compact lens! Not sure if the firmware was the problem with the autofocus, but you're right, low light was definitely an issue.

[@cooper1979]

Love the video! Just wondering which lut did you use for the video? Thanks

[@Soersha]

Thank you! It is a Forestry Film LUT.

[@cooper1979]

@@Soersha Thank you so much!

[@oldirtyjedi]

Great footage. I have a question. Since you shoot in manual and standard picture profile what are your video settings? I’m guessing 1/50 for the shutter speed, the biggest aperture the lens will open to (i’m assuming it is around 5?), but what about iso? lol I get confused with and most videos I’ve seen is clog3 footage with color corrections so their iso starts at 800. I’m assuming that is different when shooting standard? Anyways great video! This is what convince me to purchase the R8!

[@Soersha]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it! :) As far as video settings, I adjust it with each new environment, but generally I try to keep my ISO and f-stop as low as possible and keep my shutter speed between 1/50 and 1/300. If it's really sunny then I would raise the f-stop as needed and if it was dark I would do the same with ISO. It's all a balancing act! I hope that helps!

[@Unterwegs-mit-uns]

Thanks for the wonderful Video. Do you use a gimbal or something else to stabalize the footage?

[@thebentzenable]

Just what I was looking for 🙏 I'm buying the R8 with the kit lens. What a fantastic video you made for us 👍🙏

[@Soersha]

I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching! :)

[@joaopaulobg]

would you pick this over r50 for vlogs, cooking/eating in restaurants video?

[@Soersha]

Absolutely. The r50 is a great little camera to film all that stuff!

[@tamluu1699]

Thank you for sharing, your information is very helpful. I didn't expect that the Canon R8 with the kit lens could shoot such beautiful videos. I would like to ask you a bit more: is the (R8 + kit) combo good for shooting videos at night? I noticed that your video has very few scenes shot at night. (I asked ChatGPT to translate for me, I'm not very good at English, sorry! )"

[@ButchFagan]

I recently purchased the R8 and kit lens. I have since purchased a few more lenses Primarily the 24 to 105 r4. Love the look of you video. Did you use a lut?

[@Soersha]

Thank you so much! I hope you're enjoying your camera. And yes, I used a LUT.

[@ButchFagan]

@@Soersha do mind if I ask which lut? One of your own or did you purchase it?

[@a.s.l711]

Hi Sasha, do you experience over heat with r8 while taking videos for a long time?

[@aujwalyaj]

Don't think there is any issue in low light photography in R8, I am using a 24-105mm in R8.

Hello did you got the kit ,or do you think I should purchase the camera body seperate and lens ?

[@Soersha]

I did not love the kit lens so I would just buy the body and get a different lens!

[@srulmakagon4387]

What a nice trip! Where did you go in Japan?

[@Soersha]

Kanazawa, Kyoto, Kawaguchiko & Tokyo!

[@xtensionxward3659]

i have a question : will a wide angle lense like 10mm affect the quality much for the worse or is it going to be relatively the same ? thanks for the upload

[@Soersha]

Thanks for watching! A 10mm focal length will definitely warp your images around the edges.

[@xtensionxward3659]

@@Soersha thanks but i was asking about the general resolution of the image

[@jamesgaszak3685]

I feel bad that you used the kit lens. I would have brought the 70 to 200 2.8 or even the 50mm 1.8. Looks like you had a good time.

[@Soersha]

A 50mm would have been too tight of a lens for me! I just went to Spain with the RF 28mm and it was perfect. Thank you and thanks for watching! :)

[@georgelockhart6335]

hi soersha , how long do the battery last for your trip? and did you just using handheld or have a gimbal for this >?

[@Soersha]

With on an off filming, 1 battery lasted me about 2 days. And it was all handheld! :)

[@caseybachmeyer]

what are you talking about the autofocus? this camera has better af than the r5

[@Soersha]

Autofocus wasn't great when I used it. Could be a lens problem, who knows!

@@Soersha yes, who knows..

[@Imgabbing]

Thanks for showing the type of footage this camera can take! How did it do with overheating? And was it relatively light/small to carry around? Also, your sister looks like a lot of fun 😂 Is she single?

[@Soersha]

You are so welcome! There was really no overheating problem and it was delightfully light to carry around. My sister is the bees' knees! Plus she is single and ready to mingle ;)

[@christiangallant3197]

She comes with her own camera, haha? I bought the R8 body and this lens separately and still waiting on the camera to arrive. All I know from personal experience is this lens is really light. This video gives me confidence that it's going to be a nice walk around camera compared to my DSLR. The R8 is a replacement for my Canon M5 and 5D Mark III, but still want to hold on to the 5D for sports, but might not once I play arround with L glass, if I do get rid of the 5D III I might get some RF L lenses, ill use a converter for the EF lenses for now and this lens for compact mode. @@Soersha

I heard 24-50 kit lense is pretty crap.. better try step up to 24-105, there is some very detailed reviews on both and it seems it is much better kit lense

[@MoreData-hz8hm]

omgosh, i cant BELIEVE you paired this beast with the lame kit lens! The 50mm 1.8 is literally CHEAPER than the price of the kit lens... it would've given you absolutely stupendous quality and it would not have had any trouble autofocusing

[@Soersha]

Canon should just burn this kit lens, eh?

[@mikelimitonemikeonthemic9567]

Looks great!

[@polsufilm]

It looks great. You just have to know the strength and weaknesses of your gear. At the end of the day its just a tool. Btw love all your footages in Japan. Hopefully I could buy a camera like this in the future with the RF 50mm 1.8 -that would be a perfect combo. ❤

[@JMatic-xk9vq]

@@Soershadon’t let them bother you! Your footage looks great. It is the output that matters not the gear.

[@bernie8811]

The 50mm doesn‘t have stabilization. 35mm f1.8 would be great but a bit more expensive.

[@EasYMoON1991]

First time i heard that "af wasnt that great" :

@@Soersha after seeing you I bought one and I got it at $840 it is a awesome deal yes or not?

[@mbismbismb]

My advice, change the lens, kit lens is no no when using professional camera

[@Soersha]

The goal of this video was to show a sample of what the r8 & the kit lens that Canon designed for the r8 are both capable of. Upgrading to a professional lens is, of course, always an option if that aligns with your goals!

[@mirsthy]

what lens would you recommend?

[@mbismbismb]

@@mirsthy rf 50mm f 1.8 is quite good for starter very versatile

[@mbismbismb]

@@Soersha trust me i have lot of friend who bought expensive body and paired it with kit lens, and disappointed by the result and ended up not using the camera

[@user-krfanft]

For video shooting, stabilization is required, which the lens has. The video is great. The lens worked much better for video for its price. Do not recommend 50 mm without a stabilizer - the result will be worse. Then already 35 mm 1.8

[@crankmosh]

kit lenses are terrible, get a prime with faster aperture for better autofocus

[@Soersha]

I like some of Canon's kit lenses, but not this one!
