R5 is fantastic, can't understand those doubts. And what should the alternative be?

@@SuomiFinland78 I love the camera too, best hybrid out, especially at $4000! I use a $899 Mac mini, and it handles the files very easily, idk what everyone is talking about! I use fcpx, though! Super easy , I shoot all-I, c-log, looks great!

[@LuisBazan]

I have a love/hate relationship with DSLR's for video. I love being able to go between video/photo for vlogs or documentig life but probably wouldn't use it for most client work.

@@dpit007 the shutter speed is as fast as any camera. What are you even talking about 1/8000 shutter speed is common. Don't get me wrong is a great camera is not an 8k camera and a weak 4k. But I feel like the r5mk2 is going to hit the sweet spot but I bet is going to be way expensive.

[@PatrickRambles]

This video should be a must watch for new buyers. I use the R5 as well and I love it for the most part. I do film in 4K HQ and I've experienced overheating only once or twice. Even half an hour of Aroll in 4KHQ is not a problem for me. I don't really vlog (yet) so haven't experienced the wobble myself. What I did notice though is that whenever I hook up a simple camera monitor, it does overheat much faster. Idk why. I totally agree with you, the camera is not reliable enough for client work. You just can't afford it flaking on you. It's a real shame. Great video man.

[@JHawk]

Hm thats interesting about the monitor, but yeah exactly man. Its a great camera, I just can't fully rely on it sadly. Thanks for watching!

[@luckyone2604]

I have been a commercial photographer for 31 years. Started with film 4x5, 8x10,35mm,2 1/4 Hasseblads and Pentax. One of the first to have a 50K digital scanning back in Houston for 4x5's. It seems to me that the use of the R5 for video may have a couple of drawbacks. I have ask why so many people talking about the R5 somewhat negatively are all you tubers who want to use the camera for video. As a true photographer 45MP is freaking awesome! the long lens availability excellent! Mirrorless for wildlife and any concerns with camera shake. I can go on. My point is if your concern is video and especially for social media bloggers and you tubers then purchase a nice video camera. We use a nice panasonic with an 18-80 CN-E lens. Problem solved. I believe this camera is made essentially for photography but does nice video as well. Most modern DSLR's do. Numerous videos here on you tube about the R5 that are negative are about video. Nothing negative about file size, product detail or moire. Shutter speeds,CMOS SENSORS, 20FPS silently! A great photography camera is what we should be discussing.

[@JHawk]

Agreed. As I said this is a beast for photography, zero complaints in that department. But Canon very much marketed this is as (also) a video camera. Thus my let down.

[@Chaos_REG]

Love the video as always bro! 🔥 🔥

[@JHawk]

Yooo my guy! Thanks for watching 🤙🏻

[@LittlePoet]

Is the R5 I buy today be better than the R5 talked about in this video? This warp and over-heating issues sound really horrible.

[@JHawk]

It’s still the same I believe!

[@philippegelinas3083]

I would keep the R5, the reason why the footage is hard to edit is the h265 422 they might come with a firmware update with 10 bit 420 or 424 which would eliminate that problem. Also, the new M1 macs are coming soon which will be able to edit the R5 footage. The R5 is an amazing camera, if you really want to upgrade I would just keep the R5 for vlogs and photography and go with a Cinema camera like a C70 for video work.

[@JHawk]

Haha yeah i already have the M1 mac! But premiere still isnt updated and its been months. The c70 would be my go to if it wasnt super 35. Thats a huge bummer, but thanks for watching!

[@OliverGibbsYoutubeChannel]

I really like the idea of the Canon R5C, a video centric camera that doesn’t overheat as it has a fan and still has that 45mp sensor for photography - now that would be a BEAST and may hopefully solve all the problems wrong with the current R5. Still not sure how they would market both of them together though....

[@JHawk]

Yeah im interested! Hopefully they fix the wobble too

[@SJFphotography]

Similar to other comments I have the R5 and shoot mainly stills with occasional video in standard 4K and never had an overheat warning so for me at least the camera is just so polished and perfect for my needs and if I was to start shooting more high end video I would buy a video first camera. My advice is get the camera that does the what you need and always have a back up body for professional work.

[@JHawk]

Yeah agreed!

[@TheEnOhProject]

I could totally be wrong, but I experienced the wobble the first few days of shooting and I was 100% able to turn it off and since have not had an issue. I will say the overheating worries me as i shoot a lot of run and gun even for clients. You can actually feel the camera getting hot, even just shoot in HD1080, but iv still never had the camera shut down on me. On the photo end, i have not seen more crisp photos from any other camera and being a photo first guy, I absolutely love this camera.

[@TizOnly1]

I switched to Canon in January and bought a C70 and R5. I basically never use the R5 bc of the codecs. I have a Ninja V, which lets me do 4KHQ and capture in ProRes to get around the R5's terrible codec situation, but at that point the major advantage my R5 has over my C70 (size) is lost. I'm hopeful that the firmware update that's set to come out soon will give us some codecs that are easier on our computers so I can actually use the camera in some run and gun scenarios, instead of only using it when I've got my Atomos setup.

[@JHawk]

YeAh good points. The c70 is a beast

[@avigkazanjian3601]

I've used my R5 for three months now & one thing which is important to mention is that if you don't shoot Clog, you wont need to make proxies at all, i shoot 4k 24, 60, 120 fps and it works fine as long as i am not shooting Clog. My biggest problem right now is that it doesn't have HD 120 fps, waiting for the next firmware update...

[@JHawk]

Yeah that’s actually a really good point! And agreed 1080 120 would be sick

[@sharminsultana9206]

it has been added by firmware update

[@RockyColaFizz]

The wobble is real. I have the R5 with the latest firmware. Anything under about 28mm focal length wobbles noticeably. Other than that the IBIS is great.

[@JHawk]

Yep im 100% with you

[@tannerkirk9798]

Love your content brother. Question for you? If you could choose 1 camera for photo & video what would it be? 1DX mk3 or the R5? Wanna hear your professional opinion 🙏🏼

[@tannerkirk9798]

*Looking for a professional camera that I can use for client work

[@JHawk]

Both are amazing, just a lot of preference. Id prob go with the R5 if it was up to me tho.

[@schwalleyf]

I normally would not say anything. The wobble is a problem for wide angle lenses R5 has one of the best IBIS on the market. Many other brands suffer with wide angle problems as well. One thing you need to do is update your RF lenses to the latest firmware. As to using the camera professionally there are three solutions: 1. Use a Ninja external recorder (no overheating) 2. There is a way to reset the timer. It works. I have used it for many professional shoots. You should allow a 10 minute cool down to be safe. It is the card that gets hot. 3. Put camera in a tight bag (Nothing else) put it in freezer for 10 minutes. This will give you about 1 to 2 hours depending on ambient temperature. Anyway I hope this helps

[@JHawk]

Yeah that’s exactly what I said about the wobble. It’s so strong. Solid tips for anyone that wants to make the R5 work

[@onlysublime]

If you record 4K in cropped mode, you get near identical quality to the 4KHQ mode. But instead of supersampling 8k down to 4k, you're supersampling 6K down to 4K. And shooting 4K in cropped mode has zero overheating problems. and the reason why editing h.265 from the R5 is harder is because it's 10-bit color. all video cards currently out there do not accelerate 10-bit h.265. they accelerate 8-bit h.265. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Apple did see the wisdom in having hardware support for 10-bit h.265 in their M1 Macs. So that's an option. But just make proxies. Only takes a couple minutes.

[@JHawk]

Interesting and good to know. Unfortunately most of the time proxies take well over an hour for me. Maybe its just with premiere not being updated yet.

[@onlysublime]

@@JHawk Adobe is so slow updating their software. Even now, they don't take advantage of video cards like they should. It's still my favorite to edit with

[@Theaaronchris]

Does 4k60 and 4k120 overheat in crop mode? Or can you only shoot 4k24 after it overheated?

[@brandongullion6353]

I feel like Premiere Pro has improved their handling of H.265 a lot (at least on PC). I have a Fuji XT3 that records in H.265 and my original computer basically couldn't handle it so I upgraded in November 2019. It was still clunky at times but significantly improved with the better hardware. I still had to edit at 1/4 resolution usually and would run into some hang-ups still periodically if I didn't make proxies. Maybe 7 or 8 months ago this significantly improved and I now never have to make proxies. So hopefully Premiere can release some improvements for Macs as well in how it handles H.265 processing. Thanks for the informative video on the R5! Good info to have.

[@JHawk]

Oh interesting well glad it’s working better for you. Can def confirm it’s still an issue on Mac but they are hopefully updating that soon. 🤞🏻 thanks for watching!

[@xrossfader]

I just want to point out that DSLRs are film cameras with video recording options. As much as they are improving in video, their primary function is to capture stills.

[@apollosankofa87]

Proxies… got it. 😂😂😂 great vid man.

[@JonathanRosenberry]

Everyone who experiences these atrocious wobbles should file a case with Canon about the issue. I just did. And ask them to have a firmware update to allow us to turn off IBIS in the R5 and R6. I've had the R5 for quite a while, and finally purchased a used RF 15-35mm, hoping the wobbles would be fixed by now, and boy, was I wrong. It's so horribly unusable with IS on. Even from 24-35, I still noticed a weird jello effect wobble. If I bought the lens new, I would have returned it, but since it's used, I'm sort of stuck with this, unless I go through the hassle of selling it. In this case, I am debating waiting to see if they come up with a firmware update to lock the ibis. I think the ideal combo for run and gun film work is either this RF 15-35 with the c70 or, for a wider field of view (and the same equivalent f/stop), a EF 16-35 f/4 IS with the 0.71x adapter on the c70.

[@ChristianoGioacchini]

Hey do you think the Rf 15-35 is worth it for the R series cameras?

[@JHawk]

For sure! Its amazing

[@TAKUMISEGI]

I currently shoot just about everything on the EOS R + 15-35. before the release and the whole advertisement of the 8k - all people ever wanted was a no crop 4k so ( honestly even as a person who doesn't have the R5) - I still think it's an amazing camera. but yeah.. wabble bothers so I guess Ill still stick with my R for now

[@JHawk]

Yep i dont blame you at all the R is a beast! Thanks for watching

[@IntrovertAmateur]

Haha, I just wanted to comment, if you could do a comparison with a camera similar to the R5 and you pop out the Sony A7SIII at the end 😆 Knew the look is different then usual 🤓 You finally answered my IS question for my R6 - always wondered, if the IS setting is an all or nothing thing. Didn''t figure out to turn off IBIS, in case lens has IS. Let's see, if Canon will change this in future firmware or not. Great video as always, can't wait for your experience with the A7SIII 👍

[@JHawk]

[@mbvglider]

I don't necessarily disagree with anything you said. With that said, I absolutely love my R5, and I bought an A7C so I could have a small body for extended takes and I'm doubly surprised at 1) how much I like the video from that camera (although auto-exposure is tragic), 2) how much I hate the experience of taking stills on that camera, and 3) how poor it handles and controls. I think it's not a bad idea to carry a second camera that can do the long takes, like an A6400 or an A7C, and that will fill the gaps of the R5 nicely.

[@JHawk]

Yeah a second body is def a good move but I personally would want to stay in the same camera company so lenses match up

[@1204gameday]

Good info. We do strictly still photos now but thought about branching out but we have the D5 Mark IV also so can use that for video as well. I agree that Canon should do a firmware update to allow you to turn this off. I noticed it and it is not up to par for professional video production.

[@DionTheCreative]

So I’m a Sony fanboy and I love the all-in-one mentality they have with their non R or S lines. So I’m waiting for the a7 IV. I loved that Canon started to compete again with the R5/R6. I personally think they need to take the Sony approach though; have one camera that is mirrorless body that is great for video and another for photo, and one that is good at doing both. It’s a model that works really well for Sony. Tbh if Canon adopted this approach to their mirrorless bodies I might consider switching.

[@JHawk]

Yeah that’s a really good point. I like the 3 different lines for Sony, it makes total sense. Canon just tries to make everything a hyrbrid and then tiers it by price. Thanks for watching!

Yeah I totally understand! Glad you found it helpful

[@nomad0714]

Hi JHawk, Thanks for the honest review. I use both Sony and Canon and enjoy both of their systems. And each has its tradeoffs. For the R5, have you tried using the EF 16-35/2.8/4 lenses with adapters? I know it gets big and heavy but maybe that’s the work around before Canon makes an update to the 15-35/2.8. I’ve been holding back on this lens since it hasn’t been fixed yet

[@JHawk]

Honestly I havent yet, but not a bad idea. I wonder how IBIS works with the adapted 16-35. I might need to test it

[@nomad0714]

@@JHawk, I just checked my EF 16-35/4 and it has switch to turn off IBIS on lens. I’m just waiting on the EF to RF adapter to test it as it’s been out of stock for awhile now. Am curious if you already have this setup and if there’s any improvements.

[@aravl2776]

what would the try something else be? you could sell the r5 for a7siii but keep the eos r for your photography

[@JHawk]

Yeah but two different lens systems is not ideal

[@MrDonuts10]

You looked sharper in other videos and colors were a lot better in previous videos. I don’t hate on Sony I’m just stating what I notice and also because I knew something was different! I even had to make sure I had my quality in 1080 cause it didn’t look so sharp😅

[@JHawk]

Interesting! I honestly thought it looked TOO sharp, like needs to be turned down haha but good to know!

[@nunooliveira4257]

Nice video. I hope the canon staff is listening, especially the possibility of turning IBIS off in the camera. Have you checked all that stuff you're talking about in the R5C ?

[@JHawk]

Nah i havent! Unfortunately they lost me and im happily with sony now

@@JHawk So what camera are you using for vídeo now? 🙂

[@flashlightstudio5399]

Have you tried the new update yet? The 1.3 update

[@JHawk]

I have, the new recording codec does help some with editing, but still isn’t amazing

[@mikeconnor3602]

Ok, sorry for the dumb question what does it mean to "make a proxy" related to the mac premiere pro not having the updated codec? Thanks, great video

[@JHawk]

It’s a lo-res duplicate of the Hi-Rez file so it’s easier to edit

@@JHawk thank you Sir, I subscribed thanks. I know this is the old ford vs chevy argument from my boomer generation lol, but did you see the video by Ricci Talks channel on the Z9 teaser?, everyone had Nikon DOA and put out to pasture, I can only imagine the R5ii will be right on.

[@TrumanRexti]

Thanks!

[@THSimagery]

I have an eos r, and the 15-35. I have always attributed that warp on the edges to the 15mm focal length.

[@JHawk]

Never noticed a wobble with the R myself!

[@THSimagery]

@@JHawk I just watch another review, and the woble was really pronounced! Man! the 15-35 is my "Yo Mane" lens! its on my camera 75 percent of the time! Yikes!

[@hector_xo1426]

Love to see that you like inaka power and ghost

[@JHawk]

He knows!

[@mikejackson9585]

Odd, the wobble isn't that bad, but I can understand why people don't like it. But this isn't a Canon thing... it's an IBIS and uber wide angle thing. Also IBIS doesn't help much on long lenses, it's most useful on wider focal lengths.

[@JHawk]

Yep all things i mentioned. Agreed its not a canon thing, but it is a canon thing that they don't allow it to be turned off

[@phillipconnolly5020]

I want to start making travel videos and memories with my wife both over landing and going to nice resorts. I understand anything at this level would be considered overkill, but price is relative to the buyer. I bought a Sony ZV-1 and returned it as Sony ‘s pretty much stuck in the 90s with their menus and just could not get over it for daily use. In the past I’ve had a Canon 60 D. I Canon 7D. And I Canon 5D Mark II. I went to film school for two years and was doing freelance videography before I started my IT company in 2009. So I know a thing or two about cinematography and editing but I’m not looking to make any money. I would just like high-quality videos of my traveling memories. After all my research and being a canon guy most of my life I still can’t find the right camera. I feel like if they had a canon EOS RP MKII with no 4K crop and 60 P in 4K it would be the perfect choice but that doesn’t exist yet. Any advice? Sorry for the mouthful.

[@JHawk]

I think something like the R or RP would be great. R6 if you want no crop on 4k, but yeah if you want a cheaper route like the rp youll prob need to wait for the mII and see what its like

[@phillipconnolly5020]

@@JHawk Yeah I am going on a camping trip in 2 weeks and want to have something by then. Decision time. Thanks mate!

[@vaskoobscura_]

Actually there is a way to turn off the IBIS and leave the lens IS on. There is a setting in the my menu you have to turn on. Hopefully Canon makes this easier to access in the next firmware.

[@JHawk]

Where is this setting?

[@vaskoobscura_]

Side question for the R5 120 slow mo at 30 frames per second. In Pr can you select the clips and tell the program to interpret as 120 frams per second? Hopefully Canon fixes that issue and a few more in the EOS R5C coming soon.

[@rio197]

1:37 Only when you stop moving so much I can notice the wobble. Thanks for this whole video, btw.

[@IsaacGarcia-uh6hh]

What’s up update on this? I’m looking to upgrade my Canon, EOS RP and looking to get more of a video camera, so I am looking at the Sony FX three and Sony a 7S3

[@JHawk]

Fx3!

[@trinidadrotishoplondon381]

Honest opinion , this is a stills camera with some video thrown in which you should have been aware of prior to purchase . Invest in a dedicated video system if you shoot lots of that formant .

[@JHawk]

Although I’d like to agree. And it is indeed photo dominate (as I mentioned) go to Canon’s web page for this camera and tell me this isn’t supposed to be for video lol

[@KelseyKaplan75]

Ahh I’m so torn between the r6 and 5! I shoot mainly weddings and love cropping so I’m worried I’ll regret buying the r6!

[@JHawk]

The r6 would be fine!

[@flaashj1393]

So say I’m only doing photos for a wedding or event. Do you think it will be possible to last a 4+ hour job of straight pictures without overheating?

@@JHawk sure - just got the R5 for a doc we're working on and the 4k120 coming into resolve as 29.9 is a problem; maybe Canon can address that in firmware update as well - do you know how to bring that to Canon's attention?

I think it’s always been that way even on the 1Dx II so doubt they’ll change it. Just highlight the clips and change the speed to 80% BEFORE you make proxies. That’ll make them 23.976

I don't use my R5 for video but I try with my EF 16-35 Mk III and I was not able to reproduce any wobble. Maybe this is a problem with the lens design since everytime a person is complaining about a wobble problem this is always R5/R6 + RF 15-35.
