Most surprising part of the video is the random Venice 2 appearance.

[@ronbackal]

I considered buying for a short while, but that's like buying a house in some places

[@pruett89]

Those scenes with Frank are just beautiful, you can see the work that Sony Venice was putting in

[@RJGarrish]

Im still here because these videos are so watchable! Its such a thorough style of video but its so easily watchable. I love how the segments cut in and out of each other and you tell the story with the different characters involved. Crazy.

[@squidward3333]

You're the best at what you do. Just a fact. So much real world info, footage, and honesty in a vlog format. Hopefully my next camera package will be some R5Cs!

[@OhanaFilms]

Hell yeah, T2i was my first camera too. We eventually gave it to our neighbor and she made an excellent feature length doc with it, while still in high school.

[@ajlbeer]

You've gone next level with your reviews now. And still haven't lost the down to earth charisma. Bravo young youtube trail blazer.

[@waregreg]

I always learn something from the Jet, that's why i'll always watch even though im happy with my gear and focused on photography right now.

[@Dmogul]

Sweet!!! I got a comment read at 1:35 thanks 🙏🏾, the R5c is definitely an amazing beast I’ve been putting it through its paces as well as the R7.

[@JonRawlinson]

I have a R5C myself. YOU answered a TON of my questions and Ive been using the camera for awhile! Incredible review as always! Keep up the fantastic work Gene! Sub'd for life!

[@alexandrosmargo552]

How you like your R5c so far? I'm thinking to get one.

[@JonRawlinson]

@@alexandrosmargo552 superb image quality in video and photo modes. I absolutely LOVE the separation of video menu from photo menu. This camera eats batteries like I’ve never seen. It’s unfortunately next to impossible to get it to record 8K 60 without all kinds of extra battery power cables attached. But overall, by far the best video/photo hybrid camera I’ve ever used.

[@gzarari]

@@JonRawlinson I use a xiaomi powerbank 20,000 mah - 60$, connected to ronin and works for a long time

[@JusttJC]

Incredibly put together as always man. Appreciate you

[@VikVengeance]

I love your long videos, super informative and entertaining 🙌🏼

[@Kodakhive]

WOW! I was scrollig through udemy and decided to check out your course loved it so much and i ended up here!

[@danieldougan269]

The lack of built-in ND filters is a real bummer. I understand why it wouldn't have IBIS (because it can create problems for high-end filmmakers even when turned off), but this is exactly the kind of camera that should have built-in NDs.

[@andrewtremblay6383]

Enter the C70…the internal ND is fantastic

[@kiracupcake8592]

Get c70

[@user-kv8lv3sq9j]

Glad to have you back!!

[@musamuyamwa1899]

I have been watching your videos for a long time now and I really love your content. Can`t wait to see you at 1million subscribers... I would love to see you review the R5 with the newer firmware as soon as you can.

[@landscapesandmotion]

Clog2 from Cinema RAW Lite on the R5C pretty much needs noise reduction applied but even so the noise will be more controlled in a oversampled 4K mode with custom noise reduction settings. Canon should just throw us a firmware update with clog2 XF-AVC mode.

[@aroundtheworld5901]

The R5c I have bought some weeks ago and must say: it is one of the best camera that I have in this price sector. The camera has the best performance with the canon RF Lenses. If You use very good lenses, You get the best results in 8K. The biggest Problem: The camera is very power hungry.

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I don't know how it's possible that you could have such a cool channel. You are the freaking man

[@WoodyAndTheWild]

This video is goated, am deciding between buying the FX3 and the R5C and this answers so many of my questions. Earned a sub

[@ManuelSiliezar]

Happy to see I was the first comment he answered! Glad to see you’re doing great man and hope to see both of your channels again.

[@crystalpulseTV]

Press and hold MENU + Custom Button to quickly set it, that's great, I loved that Panasonic let you do that with just press and hold on the button so I'm glad a shortcut exists for Canon. Wonder if it works for all camera's or just a select few **runs home to try it on the C70!**

[@joesnapple83]

Found your video when looking for R5c reviews and just subbed. Your video style is cool.

[@jmagma120]

Your videos have so much good information hence have to stick around till the end.

[@Alexproduction27]

did I fall in love with potato jets videos again 😍

[@art3mis975]

Uhhh i hope theres a video coming for the Venice 2 !! Thats a beast of a camera. Great Vid as always!

[@jeffryquiambao2683]

been waiting for this r5c review... the best camera reviewer evahh..

[@AhsanZafar]

oh boy i missed your videos, they are buttery smooth

[@gawin_art689]

I own a Canon r7 with a viltrox ef-r3 speedbooster and I am blown away with the results, for the price. You definitely should do a review of that camera!!

[@chrism.4600]

Great Video as always Gene, but, Im sticking with my A7S-III, and My back up A7-III, I Use both for my interviews, and documentaries. The A7S-III captures so much details, and can shoot in regular room light and look beautiful with its larger sized pixels.

[@nuclear64_]

My boi always make me look good in his vids. Yeah, its a nice camera.

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

YOU THE MAN G! Thanks for the good content!

[@timothyhines6220]

Awesome video! You answered all of the questions I had!

[@christiantheimprovguy1769]

I love these videos! You don't need to worry that it's too long. We love it long.

[@Gerald_G]

"Lean Gene" -- definitely can tell you've been focused on fitness (hopefully it's contagious and I'll catch it). 💪🏽

[@thidnascimento]

I'm not going to buy a Canon R7 until I've watched your next humongous video about it! The only half-hour reviews worth seeing, great quality stuff always

[@thewaxlab]

Great video. Looking to add a second cam to the fleet of drones and something that can also shoot photos for kid stuff. Obviously Komodo is king, but this totally checks all the boxes for good video and run-and-shoot photography. Actually, I’m really glad you had drone pilots on there. Thanks!

[@got2go4word]

Excellent review, thank you!

[@DuyNguyen-pq8gq]

Bought two of those Angelbird cards during its presale. Thought it was a typo in the price. Glad to see you using it too!

[@TheTozotube]

YOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LETS GOOOO

[@genxtechguy]

Love to see a review of the Canon R3 for video next. I know it’s not a cinema camera, or video first, but I think it has some pretty interesting video quality features/advantages that are above the R5/R5c. Of course more expensive, but still pretty interesting for video shooters.

[@jammingdodger1632]

I currently own a Canon EOS R3, I use it mainly for videography purposes at weddings. Let's just say it's an insanely good camera but I wouldn't personally say it's insanely better than the R5/R5C to warrant such a price hike. I've used the R5C, R5, R6 and own an A7S III for my gimbal. The R5C/R5 are pretty close in terms of video to the R3, granted the R3 has greater battery endurance and could last me hours just shooting video, the R5C/R5 would require me to have multiple LP-E6N on hand to get through a full day of shooting. I use 4K 120fps in camera on my R3 handheld and damn does it kick some ass, I've used 4K 120fps on my A7S III using handheld, and although it's good I feel that the in camera stabilization is just far better and more polished with the R3. I would also personally choose the R5 over the R5C for the stabilisation (IBIS vs Electronic IS) reasons as I shoot handheld, as well as the recent update the R5 received which effectively made it useable over long periods of time.

[@ClintFilms]

Great review, thanks for the all detailed

[@OutlastOverland]

Dude the R7C is coming in 2023! But I'm thinking of upgrading from the 90D to the R7, the ef to rf adapter with VND would be an awsome set up.

[@zapsizzle]

I got my Canon R7! Pre-order from Canon finally came through. I love it as a B-cam to my R6, R5. It isn't as feature-packed and the crop sensor image isn't as nice as the r6 & r5 but that's the point of the lower price and for that, it's a great value. I love it!

[@Chris-NZ]

Ditto use-case but mine hasn’t arrive yet 🙁 edited , but wait it arrived two weeks ago fully agree with your comments 😀

[@AnandaGarden]

Random thoughts. The 7 series of cameras have always produced still images that I love - e.g., extending the 135/2 to 216 or whatever. I'd buy an R7 in a heartbeat for that reason alone, but I'd keep the R6.

[@FelixCervantes]

Glad you are back, started to worry about you!

[@charliebingaman571]

Been using the R5C for 3 full months now and it has been amazing. Obviously the battery is the only big issue but I have four and its been fine, and powering with USB C is super easy. For a portable cinema setup, a dtap battery or dummy is a great way to go. For photos, its just as goood as the R5 without the ibis, but its truly a video beast. No regrets at all!

[@JonRawlinson]

what dummy battery and external battery are you using?

[@TylerEdwards]

Charles! @13:20 such a great dude!

[@zenceLde]

Those 30Min went by fast. Good job!

[@ThePoisonDrummer]

Love my R5C! I have considered selling my Red Komodo because I pick this up most of the time.

[@chrismcduffiephoto]

Thanks for a thorough test and answer to my question 👌🏾

[@philobscura]

So bad to hear you was in Germany and I missed you! 😔 I am looking forward to see your impressions in Germany!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Really surprised that this was one of the only videos that mentions the autofocus performance. You really knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm having autofocus issues and I'm wondering how no other video has even mentioned it.

[@ksyutang]

Is your camera on the latest firmware? Wondering if they’ve fixed issues with autofocus for the r5c

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@@ksyutang after I updated the firmware it works much better however sometimes in lower light it will hunt until I tell it where to focus.

[@CinePals]

What are your autofocus settings? My autofocus seems to work pretty well. You were cycling through the options but didn't show a demo. My "Continuous AF" is set to Enable, my AF Frame is "Whole Area" and I also have the Face Det. & Tracking on. I haven't tested out zooming in on 8K footage, but another KZbinr who does tech stuff responded with his own demo that showed excellent quality at 10x zoom. I know you're probably slammed with work but if you're able to, would really appreciate you doing more demo's with the autofocus because I'm sure it's better than that. Anyway, as always, really appreciate your work.

[@Danielroy89]

0:58 totally reminds me of all the characters you gave Dylan back in high school lol. Jon and I were just watching your movies last night with his girlfriend.

[@zoominfinite7313]

Nice video, loved it

[@AhsanZafar]

i cant believe i just watched 29 min video holy crap i love this guys

[@leondebla1985]

Been using Angelbird ever since I switched to my Red Komodo and I haven't had any problems, really solid!

[@virgilhawkins5680]

Yeah I’ve got a 1TB cFast for my BlackMagic 6K Pro and it's been great. I've never filled it on a shoot.

[@dan9441]

I think this is the best video that you have done. (that I've seen) I love the side by side with the Sony a7s III.

[@v-gc7257]

Wow 12 k. Impressive review Potato Jet

[@RayValdezPhotography]

I have one. the quality is crazy in low light. I still like to use the c70 more especially for day time jobs though but a rigged up r5c at night is though to beat.

[@hollylandtech]

Amazing review !

[@RaoulEnoiu]

Loved the video! I love the long form videos even though they're probably a pain to put together.

[@beinfocus7765]

The best r5c video in youtube! If possible, i would love to hear some things about the 1080p in this camera, i really use 1080p for some videos when i dont need to shoot 4k ( for social media etc..) how the battery life? Codecs? Bitrate....

[@DAVISION-YT]

I have a R5C since end of March and I love it. Thank you for your take on the cam. What's that angeled HDMI cable you use there?

[@FoxTailWhipz]

Great video!

[@bill29456]

im so ready to buy the r5c - for those who are canon over sony and do both photo and video this is greatness. but shoddy af is a major bummer.

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

Hey Gene, just got this camera and your video has been very helpful! Do you know if the 12V output from a NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Tilta or Smallrig) could power the 8K60p? It'd be such a nimble setup.

[@jasonyu4518]

getting fit!

[@adymatt334]

The canon image just looks so much nicer than the Sony.

"I can't believe you're still here" we just enjoy listening to you man..

[@RoboticsLive]

@Potato Jet, is this a scam ?

[@trop1calfilm]

I got rid of my R6 and got this for filming weddings. This thing is a BEAST! Love it a lot!

[@fotomaton7852]

I'm also thinking of upgrading my R6 to an R5/R5C for pro video. Do you miss the IBIS? That's the one thing making me lean towards the R5, especially with the 1.6 update fixing the overheat.

[@trop1calfilm]

@@fotomaton7852 I would prefer going for R5C, I don't really care about IBIS as it is the reliability of the camera. I just shot my 4 wedding with the R5C and it's a BEAST! And shot all of those weddings handheld (R5C on a rig). No overheating issues at all and the image quality that come out of this camera is crazy. I think you'll love the R5C, plus it's actual cinema camera.

[@fotomaton7852]

@@trop1calfilm Yeah the cine features are for sure the main draw (exposure assist tools, being able to punch in while recording, LUT import etc) But how about battery life? everyone says it blows, how do you get through an entire wedding? Swap batteries all day or external D-TAP/VMOUNT?

[@trop1calfilm]

@@fotomaton7852 i use V-Mount battery for the rig and that last a whole wedding

Thanks for answering my question about the micro hdmi. I too like to live dangerously. I just can’t afford the repair. 😜

[@DiegoVelVill]

[@kylelowe]

My brother got the R7 and let me play with it and it's very solid. Got my R5C a couple days after he got the R7 (at a local camera shop), and I almost want the R7 because of the better battery life. Haha!

[@RogueNoble]

With 8K and now 12K, at a certain point, won't the clarity of the image be limited by the sharpness of the lens? Cropping in 3x on your subject will hardly match the clarity of a camera shooting 4K either zoomed in or moved closer to the subject.

[@TechnoBabble]

I don't get it either. I understand wanting to reframe, but a good 4k camera can do that and still be used for a 4k delivery and look good.

[@PaulPaul0]

Yes that is very much correct. At those resolutions you’ll def need clinically sharpen cinema primes

[@KerrCreatives]

Man just frame the shot how you want to in the first place

[@covingtonrace1]

It will be limited by the ability of your eye to see the difference between 12k and 68k

[@danieIlondon]

No. Limited to clarity of atmospheric pressure

[@sickhcivc]

We just got the r5c and I use it more than the c300 m3, it's just so good esp because it's light
