Canon R5 Review - Hybrid Shooter User Experience

[@RickyCheung]

I feel like this camera has a lot of features packed in for a lot of people. Are you planning to pick up the canon R5 as a hybrid shooter, photographer or videographer?

[@TheExploringZ]

Dope video ordering my r5 next week

[@RickyCheung]

Thanks man. You’ll love it. Congrats!! My main workhorse camera, it’s sweet. What your first RF lens? Hehe...

[@RickyCheung]

I fully agree. I shoot both R5/R6 combo 20mp for events is really nice for post but my R5 is my main camera

[@TheExploringZ]

@@RickyCheung im going with the rf 15-35mm f 2.8

[@RickyCheung]

@@TheExploringZ you’ll love it. I got it as my 2nd RF lens. Sharp corner to corner even at 2.8. Distortion is given considering it is so wide but huge upgrade from 16-35mm 2.8 II.

Dude that smartphone rig looks so fantastic! especially with the iPhone stabilization!

[@RickyCheung]

Thank you. All I could come up with to show you guys what is on the LCD. It works. :)

[@kylehessling2679]

@@RickyCheung I literally have no idea why no one else is doing that, it looks so much better than I thought it would. It's actually kind of mesmerizing like I would watch a whole travel video that way lol

[@RickyCheung]

:). Cool. The iPhone 12 is soo capable.

[@mikehinh]

Great review. Thank you

[@RickyCheung]

Thanks for watching. I hope you found something useful for your needs. :) I'm having a long term follow up vid soon. Sub for that one if you are interested.

[@RogerZoul]

Nice review. Thanks.

[@RickyCheung]

Thanks for the support. ❤️

[@alexshotthese]

Solid review man! I just got done renting the R5 and it was an absolute BLAST to shoot with. It's soooo expensive, but I think I need to work my ass off to get one in my life haha.

[@RickyCheung]

Absolutely expensive beast of a camera but yea work your ass off for it. I hope it will treat me well and last a long time.

[@village_mayor]

Great video! It's good you talked about how people had bashed this camera but it is still an amazing photography camera and great video camera as well. If people are bashing the camera then they are not using the correct gear. I had the R6 and switched over to the R5. LOVED the R6 but with my architecture photography I needed the 45mp.

[@RickyCheung]

Thank you! I agreed for architecture work the MPs could really benefit those vertical/horizontals adjustments in post :). A lot of detail. A little hard on the computer for me now but I’ll deal with it, files are really really detailed. Thanks again for watching.

Great review! Greetings from Sydney, Australia!

[@RickyCheung]

Hello and Thank you 🙏.

[@toringunnelldigital]

Really great review, ordering mine soon!

[@RickyCheung]

Thanks for watching. Hopefully some good points of using the camera and it’s features. It is an amazing camera, all you could ask for in a camera.

[@danielhallmedia]

Totally agree about the Custom modes on the R6! Hopefully they will be updated in a firmware update! But great video! I found it very informative!

[@lifesbeautiful3024]

Great job, Ricky

[@RickyCheung]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully it was helpful.

[@jeffrey3205]

Keep the r5 and godox vids coming

[@RickyCheung]

Thanks Jeff.

[@diegojuarez4208]

On days your doing hybrid weddings or shoots do you keep a high shutter speed or higher f stop to expose correctly without a ND filter?

[@RickyCheung]

Don’t judge. I rack the shutter. 😂 but most hybrid shoots I’m at 60 or higher. When pure vid, I’ll ND.

[@diegojuarez4208]

@@RickyCheung I’m not judging 😂 I’m most likely going to do the same! I’d much rather have a lower f stop over a technically correct shutter speed. For the racked footage to look normal do you use a software?

[@RickyCheung]

@@diegojuarez4208 honestly for weddings brides couples don’t even notice it. “We” notice it as a technical wrong way of doing things. There is software out there that will mess with jiggers and motion blur. In weddings subjects aren’t moving that fast so….

[@valeriebeegan2728]

Thanks for answering my question Ricky, sounds great so with the EF lenses, haven’t gotten mine yet, waiting for camera shops to open from lockdown to actually physically buy it in local camera shop, but then might have to wait longer to get canon basic adapter mount as heard they in short supply

[@RickyCheung]

There was a short burst of adapters available directly from canon store but it was limited. I think you could sign up for an email notification. My pleasure Valerie, good luck with the camera it will last a long, long time. It’s my personal main camera now, not a loaner, not sponsorship so feel free to ask in the comments about anything. :)

[@SafwaanGaming313]

Great video! Can I use Eos r battery in R5?

[@RickyCheung]

Absolutely yea you can. Gotta love when they use the same batteries.

[@SafwaanGaming313]

@@RickyCheung Many Thanks

[@RickyCheung]

The only thing to watch for is the E6N batteries won’t hit the fast frame rate the R5 has for that you need the NH batteries but I personally still use a lot of my older E6N batteries with my R5/E6 with no issues. I rarely need 20fps. 😂

I was interested in if it’s when it does overheat after you shoot some still and switch to video? How much was you able to record 4K hq or 4K 120fps?

[@RickyCheung]

All controlled by software/timer on the camera from what I’ve read and learned. If you are shooting stills and switch to video it will give you a timer depending on how long or how the thermal reader sees the camera. So it really depends.

[@RickyCheung]

Depending on what the thermal controllers are saying it will tell you have much time you have on the screen.

@@RickyCheung I got my yesterday. I tried 8k ipb. I was able to record 30min. It’s more than usable

[@RickyCheung]

8k RAW, 4k120, 4kHQ are the “hot” modes. You should be good with 8k IPB. I personally use more 60/120fps for b-roll. Congrats it’s a great camera.

[@mohdnorazmil]

SUPERB STILL CAMERA. I just started with video and had no issue (I live in Asia, hot hot and humid) with overheating so far. Button customization and ergo is always good. To be honest, the ONLY CONS of this camera for me is the expensive RF lenses. The Samnyang 85mm RF 1.4 is an option but I wish SIGMA comes out with the ART line for RF. Regarding the EVF, to be honest, I strongly believe now that it is all gimmicks, doesn't matter what brand you use... it is good but it eats lotsa battery power, ended up in just normal mode instead of the high performance mode.

[@RickyCheung]

Yea,,, I realized that leaving it in hi-performance mode eats 🔋 like no tomorrow. Probably will only reserve it for faster-ish action. Still very good and better than the EOS R even in regular mode. Congrats on the camera. What a machine. You should checkout my other video if you are a hybrid, I ran into an issue with C3 custom mode shooting stills.

[@fedephotography578]

Great

[@RickyCheung]

Thank you.. buy one now :)

[@nitinthakur4407]

How many shots it taken on full charge plz plz reply

[@RickyCheung]

Non scientific but you’ll be looking at 300-500 shots. The key is if you are on high refresh rate on the EVF. 60hz more shots 120hz way less shots. I learned that 60hz is fine for more photography work. For faster panning work 120hz would be great but less shots.

[@nitinthakur4407]

@@RickyCheung on 60hz is it possible to take 500+ shots with EVF

[@RickyCheung]

I would say it be close to that maybe 425+ to be safe. Really depends on how you shoot. It is less than dslr compared to say my 5D4 but pretty good for mirrorless. Also the EVF eats more battery vs the LCD.

[@nitinthakur4407]

@@RickyCheung okkk 🙏 thankyoouuuuuuu sooooooooooooooo muuucchchh it's helps me alot🙏

[@RickyCheung]

Glad I can help. There is a noticeable difference from the LPE6N (older) vs LPE6NH (newer) batteries. Good luck

[@GRAVESGGS]

call me crazy cause i have an r6 and r5. the only difference is the r5 has so much more detail you have so much room to crop. if you frame your r6 photography properly where you dont have to crop the 20 mp is way more than plenty.

[@RickyCheung]

I agreed 100% I have an R6 now as well. Dual welding R5/R6 for weddings. I really think the R6 fits alot of photographers needs, it has the speed, good res, very decent video specs. I love the R6 as well. It is like you say PLENTY camera for alot of people

[@leshsl4482]

[@dimitrimoonlight]

You should get a M1 Mac.

[@RickyCheung]

Waiting for that M1X and I can play ball for awhile :). Should be coming in 2021 but for now, waiting like a turtle. Lol.
