Comparing all 4 Canon Mirrorless Cameras EOS RP, R, R6 and R5

[@IreneRudnyk]

I am getting a lot of comments about the R colors. Just like I said in the video all cameras are set to manual white balance K6500 and processed with Canon Digital Professional. All cameras are calibrated straight from Canons factory. It’s a fair comparison and I always noticed the R to have more green colors. That was the main reason I didn’t get it personally when it came out. If you have the R and love it that’s awesome, I am not surprised because it’s still an amazing camera even thou it got the last rating from me personally.

[@КонстантинШеховцов-й3п]

Спасибо вам за обзор,очень немногие блогеры затрагивают тему цвета из коробки в камерах Canon и почти никто не использует руднуюю DPP для проявки,а напрасно только там можно получить фирменный цвет с родными профилями. По своим наблюдениям заметил(а у меня были на руках из беззеркалок R,R6,R5 и почти все зеркальные пятаки) Если отталкиваться от цвета старых зеркальных canon 5d (1,2,3) а по моему мнению из коробки там цвет был красивей ничего править не нужно было даже ББ отрабатывал отлично,то ближе всех сейчас Canon r6 как ни странно,но именно по цвету он мне больше нравился чем r5,почему то в r5 общий баланс цветов уходит в пурпур или фиолет все время нужно править ББ.У r6 всегда стабильнее, единственное на закатном солнце он немного уходит в зененцу,но правиться легче,чем r5, r самая неудачная по цвету из беззеркалок Canon.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Aparently Canon improved the sensors a lot for the second generation, including dynamic range for the people that are into such kind of things0

[@HorsesNBayonets]

Thanks for doing this test. Would you be able to do it again but do AWB-W and JPEGs?

[@TommiPuuska]

You should be able to fix the colors by using color calibration charts on any camera. Rarely any camera knows the colors which is dependable on the lightings color spectrum and quality.

[@angellondian7628]

I actually prefer warmer colors. I have the R. How would I adjust the color temp on my custom settings to remove the green tint. Move it more to the magenta?

[@kaeleijordan7398]

I remember going from my Canon rebel t6 to a brand new RP and I was SO proud and so many people said I wasted my money, I was going to hate it, I should have just waited and saved my money for a better one and as much as the R5 would be amazing, the RP has seriously impressed me and I love mine so much! Thank you for actually testing it out and not just over looking it because it's "the cheap one"

[@whitney_steele]

This is where I'm at. I currently shoot with a t5 and I'm thinking my next upgrade will be the RP. Maybe when I'm better and can afford it I'll splurge. So you would recommend jumping from rebel to RP?

As an RP owner I'm actually shocked how well it held up to the others in dynamic range and image quality in real world situations

[@lsamoa]

Same! What a great little camera the RP is ❤

[@zacx6970]

The truth is, our eyes can distinguish up to 20-22 stops of dynamic ranges. But our brains can only read 10 stops of DR at a time. So you’ll never see too much of a difference between higher DR camera’s to a lower DR unless you’re going to pixel/image peeps.

[@pamela-yourlifeasart]

I thought the same, although I may keep it as a back up, it doesn't offer the same shutter speed capabilities I've realized I also need. It does keep up amazingly well, it looks great in comparison to to the R6!

so glad I chose the RP over R, and half of the actual price

Its an amazing sleeper body and so cheap aside from the small battery it passes as a good B camera and even sometimes A

Nice to see the RP get some love for a change! While my mains are R5/R6, I grab my RP for travel, or taking photos of my 1 year old around the house. It’s probably my most used camera these days. Whenever any hobbyist asks me what full frame to get, I always recommend the RP for the price and versatility.

[@gregshawphotography8828]

Thanks for doing this video. I shoot with the R and RP. I made the decision to concentrate on investing in RF glass rather than changing camera bodies. I have no plans on upgrading any bodies until I’ve used the R and RP for at least 5 years.

[@IreneRudnyk]

that is the best decision honestly. The glass is far more important than the body.

[@steveo85]

I’ve had the RP for a year now and absolutely love how small and light it is. Great for travel. For video the 35mm rf is lens is excellent and the dual pixel autofocus is buttery smooth. I only shoot 1080 24fps so that’s all I care about. Favorite portrait lens is an adapted 135mm Contax 2.8 Sonnar. Also use an adapter 40mm Summicron which is almost too small of a package but gives unique images. An adapted 50mm Summicron is the perfect package to me for stills.

[@Max_Pi]

RP looks amazing in this comparison and I guessed it to the first photo. And most importantly, this comparison shows that the dynamic range is not much worse than others, and the color rendition is one of the best. On R6 I liked the detail, despite the fact that it has the lowest resolution. R5 looks great, but in my opinion, it is better to spend these extra $ 2500 on a good lens.

[@Photomeike]

I've done a few shoots with the Canon EOS RP and both times I've been impressed with the performance of it. It really is a great camera for the money! But that R5 thooo 👀👀👀

[@OmariAugustine]

@@IreneRudnyk It is so good to see good comparisons like this. I got the RP and at the time I was a bit regretful for going with the 24-105mm L version over the R and the regular 24-105mm but looking back now, Im glad I did. Although I do more video than photography it continues to impress me.

[@stelapaya]

I've just upgraded from the R to R5 - both great cameras really and the image quality of the R is comparable to that of the 5d-mk4 let's not forget! A good photographer will get great images from both (and a bad photographer...). What I like about the R5 though is the ergonomics with the joy stick and quick control dial, and as someone who crops a lot (street photography), the 45 mp is helpful! The IBIS is also helpful in using the super lightweight lenses like the 50mm STM, which doesn't have in-lens stability. I'm sure in a year's time we'll be hearing about how the R5c or R3 (or whatever) is the new must-have, but I think if you're happy with any of the R's, then best focus on the photography than the equipment and enjoy!

[@eoslove2022]

We have the R and R5. We too found the colour shift seemed weighted to green on the R so we adjusted the white balance offset in the camera (under Camera icon, menu item 4) to ad a little magenta. We shot with a colour checker chart. Rather than use a LR preset, we found this to be a more convenient option.

[@IreneRudnyk]

I will have to play around with and see if it makes a difference, thanks!

I have the R5 and the R. Both work well for my needs (wildlife/birds) I haven't really noticed the colour issue with my R but it was a later model. I like the R for it's 30 meg images, which is always helpful for cropping in. The R5 is superb and the R is great as a second body. Thanks for all your great videos Irene, I love that you focus more on getting the image you want than all the tech aspects of gear, and your results are beautiful.

Personally I believe that your Eos R has some kind of defect when it comes to color saturation… I have never had that issue with mine neither my friend and coworker which both of us shoot with the eos R. Apparently that specific camera you’re using has some type of sensor issues. When it comes to the R line, when you’re using the same lens in all of them, Canon has made sure that almost 98% of the photos taken with look very similar in terms of quality of course..,and that one you’re using is more on the green side that any other ones I have use or seen. Beautiful work by the way. Kudos to you Irene..😉

[@GarettHarnish]

Two card slots aren't necessary, but they can be handy. One time I was shooting a fashion show and they also wanted it shot in JPG and wanted the photos between the sets. Two slots allowed me to shoot JPG to one card and RAW to the other. Then I could hand off the JPG card between sets and drop in a newly formatted card for next set (while keeping the RAWs all on a larger card that stayed in the camera). After the show, I had RAWs, which allowed me to fully edit the shots for my own portfolio.

[@MicaelWidell]

Great overview! I am thinking some of the color differences might simply be slightly different auto-white balance or even that the light changed slightly between shots and the auto-white balance simply did a different interpretation of the white point. Or did you shoot everything at at the same white balance? Anyway, I just ordered a Canon RP to get a taste of the Canon RF system - I love the ergonomics compared to Sony.

[@STAR0SS]

I did a comparison using another reviewer raw files and I could reproduce the green cast when using fixed white balance. When using the camera auto the R5 was actually greener than the R. It was pretty easy to match them by tweaking a little bit the white balance : imgur.com/a/Nr3YfIa

I replace my sony a77 and got a Canon R. I am a new Canon user so I went for this one. It was on offer and got a discount on it. It really good camera and when using it for a fashion and boudoir shoot. I cannot see any green in the images or video shoot. I am using it for indoor shoots with natural light or studio lights. I just got this last year. It came with a kit lens to see how it works. I love it. The most important one I needed is using iso which I can go higher than my Sony which can only go 16000. The only thing I noticed was the noise that easily sees in darker areas of the image when using high ISO. This camera works for me. In the future, I am looking for another camera for video. I am thinking r6 or r5. For this camera am thinking to get a wide-angle lens for a video shoot. Sandeep Patel

[@sandersantos4741]

Um dos melhores e mais sinceros reviews que eu já vi, sem imparcialidade e com o setup de cada câmera, ainda com o bônus da edição. Fiquei triste com os resultados da R, e de a R6 ter ficado em 3*, o lado bom é que mesmo com apenas 20mp não falta qualidade de imagem, confesso que esperava mais resolução da R5, mas também me pareceu a melhor quase sempre. A surpresa do vídeo foi a RP, tem menos recursos é claro, mas em qualidade de imagem não deve nada as outras. Ótimo vídeo. Fiz uma redação aqui, socorro. Kkkk

[@FriedFx]

I actually mixed up the RP and R5 photo guesses at 3:15... I use an R5 at my day job (marketing/multimedia production) and it is awesome. I used to have the R because it was the only thing decent out at the time from canon and the RF lenses looked juicy. 3 years later, I convinced my boss to upgrade for the uncropped 4k, 4k 120fps, in-body stabilization, and 8k. The 45mp is awesome but the file sizes are 55mb for uncompressed RAW. Eeeek! If you can afford it, definitely get the R5 as it will last quite a while with the specs it has.

[@mxilplict]

I own all 4 and the RP is the camera that goes everywhere with me since it is light, compact, and… cheap/expendable! Which means i fear not for its survival and have no reservations of putting it into harm’s way or shady situations (like late night street photography) where a red-ringed R5/R6 would get too much attention. Paired with the RF 50 1.8, EF 40mm 2.8, or EF 85mm 1.8 are my favorite configurations that are stealthy as well as capable. I also keep an RP unstrapped and clipped into my belt as my backup, C camera that usually holds a prime or ultrawide when I’m dual strapping my 28-70 and 70-200. It’s so small and light but still capable - It’s a great utility body and a great way to start full frame since it will be backwards and forward compatible and viable for years to come. Now if the RP used the LP-E6 instead of the inferior LP-E17 it would be the perfect value proposition

I got the RP three years ago and it has been wonderful. My only complaints are: lower battery life due to LP-E17 vs LP-E6; having to use a bypass cable for vertical shutter release (and only 3rd party battery grips available); no vertical oriented scroll wheel on those battery grips; and your hand size may require the official grip-only accessory that adds 2cm to the bottom. OTHERWISE, IT PRODUCES EXCELLENT IMAGES. Third-party EF-RF adapters are $50, sometimes even with the function ring included. (Don't be suckered into buying the official Canon one unless you need perfect weather sealing I suppose. It all works the same.)

First of all, I should say this, the model is so beatiful. Second, I wanna say my opinion about these cameras. Without considering price, R5>R6>R>RP R5 shows the most natural images among them. So that's first position. R6 shows accurate AF and bright feeling, and very good quality in low light. RP shows good color but if situation is not the best, then quality goes down sharply. So thats the last position. R is not excellent, but not bad. Just so so.

[@spec-productions5733]

Ancient, long-retired pro from the film days here, turned amatuer. This is interesting! I have both, the R and R5, and I'm guessing others do as well. I had intended on doing a test similar to yours (fixed kelvin), not to compare cameras, but to look at color variation between my vintage and modern lenses (Leica R, Zeiss Contax, old Nikon workhorse from my working days, and modern Canon including the 85mm RF). Adding a comparison between the bodies now makes sense to see if the results are the same. Anyone questioning the results you encountered can also do the same (and should, before questioning them IMHO). I'm going to try your test with my two cameras, using the same settings and Canon software (then compare the raw files in Capture One). Many of us are familiar with sample variation in lenses (to be expected) but with bodies? I've not contemplated the possibility before (and have not seen others, either), but that would, indeed, be something interesting to find out. And then, this becomes another item for comparing brands as the variation within the Canon line is eye-opening. Of particular interest, many of us probably remember when fixed lighting (both, LED and fluorescent designed for photography) was relatively new, and threw a horrible green cast. Technology has gotten better these days, mitigating the green unpleasantness. But if the results you found bear out, this is particularly interesting for those who use LED or even now-outdated fluorescent photography bulbs (5600K). I.e., if the camera is contributing to a green cast, it can add effort to post, and then, completely eliminating a green cast may come at the expense of other colors leaving less than optimal results (speculating this point). In any event, thank you for this very interesting, excellent, and eye-opening comparison. I've been watching your vids from time to time for many years. You have a great touch and produce astounding results... consistently.

[@IreneRudnyk]

thank you!

[@spec-productions5733]

@@IreneRudnyk Had a "duh" moment last night thinking about this. Your observations are correct, but there's an explanation--and it's not a problem with the EOS R. Since I'm not a content producer, setting up the experiment to show what happened will take some time--I'll explain now, then when I do get to it (testing lenses anyway) I'll share a link. Back in the film days we could get unwanted color casts from light reflection off nearby objects. In particular, very green settings (green grass, shubs, trees, etc.) would through a color cast onto the color negative film--a cast that had to be corrected during printing. I remembered this after recalling some green screen work with my daughter. Though I had a strong K5600 light on her as the subject, the amount of green spill reflecting forward off the green screen was problematic. I tried to move her as far forward as possible, but it remained a challenge nonetheless. So why does the R5 look better? Well, this makes me smile. The early complaints about the R5 mentioned that it was too magenta (relatively speaking). If a picture is too green, how to color correct? Add magenta. And, walaa... Did those clever color science engineers at Canon decide to alter (perhaps ever-so-slightly) the color science so that pics taken in green environments look better? Taking outdoor pics in a garden environment is rather popular. I guess this is the conspiracy theory in me making such a silly guess. But what holds, is that your natural environment is quite green (beautiful for pics, but green, nonetheless). Thus, the "bad" magenta shift in the R5 actually serves to counterbalance a greenish tint emanating from the foliage. This is not a problem with the EOS R, but perhaps a clever tweak with the R5 (me guessing). The best way to avoid color shifts with electronic sensors is to white balance with an 18% grey card--but the white balance must adjusted at the subject location. I.e., taking the WB closer to the ground will cause a stronger green shift and camera compensation, and closer to open sky (relative to the subject) will cause a bluer shift (and camera compensation). Thus, the most accurate color balance should be set at face-level with the subject. And then, if lighting changes (clouds shifting, time of day, or moving the subject) a new white balance adjustment will be required. Or save the fuss and fix it in post using RAW files. Anyway, this was a good brain teaser, and I'm pretty sure a controlled test could be set up to confirm the results. When I eventually do such a test, I'll use a gray card so that actual levels could be observed with vectorscopes in post. Keep up the outstanding work, and thanks again for doing this comparison.

[@TrivisualsCreativeAgency]

Great review Irene. Respect to the real world comparison. It's basically what matters most to anyone trying to decide which camera to buy rather than specs only comparisons which most people do.

I have the EOS R, after your video I looked at my photos both RAW and Edited and I didn’t find them as green as your camera. Possible that you may have a damaged sample of the EOS R

[@IreneRudnyk]

I don’t, I have actually used two different bodies over the time and they both have this colour. You probably just don’t notice the difference. You really see it in the comparison

It’s still fine, it’s not horrible or anything just not as good as the other ones.

I also notice it in my R. At least in lightroom. I always need to add +5 magenta to fix it

Got the R6 a few months ago and I'm really happy with it! Can't beat that wildlife AF 🙌

I was going to upgrade to the R from my Rp, but I don't think I'll bother now. Thank you for showing my little RP stands up against the rest 👍

I have Canon Eos R, heartbroken 💔 after seeing this. But I still love ❤️ it.

don't be! just because it got the 4th place doesn't mean that it is a bad camera at all

[@MayankNimbalkar]

@@IreneRudnyk Yes 🙌 Thank you 😊

[@mxilplict]

@@MayankNimbalkar I use the R for video and landscapes. Just shoot raw and use gray card or a color calibration card and you can correct/grade the colors to your liking

[@martinekwall4671]

Couple of other tips here: If you shoot jpg and just want to use auto white balance you can go in in the cameras menu and tweak the colors toward blue and red, don’t overdo it and do some testing. It’s under the camera icon menu and fourth tab called WB Correction. Now you will have a cooler tone or maybe more neutral tone applied to every shot or video. And if you shoot in raw it’s easy piece to correct in post with a cooler tone in white balance tool and maybe at a bit of magenta in white balance tool as well. Hope it helps.

But the model is naturally aging between the shots, so is it really an accurate comparison 😉

[@seankmdixon]

I'm surprised with how the RP looks better than the R. Great comparison and a belated happy birthday Irene.

[@derbagger22]

Seeing so many technical videos on Canon's R lineup and comparisons, you start to lose focus on the art of photography and the qualities of each. I went from a Digital Rebel in '04 to a 6D in 2015 to an M50 last June(mainly to use it for Zoom w/Canon EOS Webcam Utility) to the RP in August. During Covid, I've been able to do more travel than I used to. And the results I get with the RP and the ease of use over a DSLR and the just amazing quality of RF glass, I've been very happy. I'm building up my collection of lenses and maybe I'll get an R5 in the next year or two.

[@veebes1142]

Just purchased the RP after watching your video and I can't wait to try it,I wish I could afford the canon 85mm 1.2 lens.

[@quazisanjeed6395]

This is no secret that some photographers crave the vintage styling of cameras and also the film-look in images. We do get the film-look in the images produced by Canon 5D Classic. However, the retro-styling is something unavailable to current Canon camera users. Nikon enchanted its users with Nikon Df few years ago and now, Nikon Z fc. I’m simply awestruck how beautiful those cameras look! How about Canon thinking in the same line and present us with few such styles like the great Canon AE-1!

[@ScottJWaldron]

Nice comparison! That must have taken a ton of time juggling the four cameras.

[@emilylamattery8597]

I'm so glad I watched this. I've been debating which camera to upgrade to and I do a lot of outdoor photography in green areas. The rp seems to be the best option for me right now. Next upgrade will be the r5

[@rengen8736]

Irina, what do you think, the colors of the r6 and r5 cameras are very different? Did you see the difference? Here I am faced with a choice. Can you advise me what to buy? There is money for both cameras. :)

[@johnlarrycinco]

I got my 5dmk2 since 2008 and Im only doing Wedding and Portraits and Ill consider Buying that RP

[@mdindestin]

Some will point out battery life as an issue, but just carry an extra with you and you can go a very long time.

[@josueclermont8070]

Great comparison video. The EOS-R has been my main camera for over a year now and I have not experienced the greenish tint issue. I just got an RP as a backup. I hope the R6 goes on sale around Christmas 😆

You won’t notice it until you compare

Had my r6 for a couple of years and love it.For me the eye af was a game changer.Have been tempted with the r5 but will wait a while for a camera upgrade.Love your work and your editing is beautiful.Also the rf 85 1.2 is my favourite lens.

[@Saero-e6q]

Should i go for RP for serious photography as my buget is little bit tight

[@CharityNisa]

I loved this! I heard a lot about the green hues in the canon R and omg I see it a lot in your comparisons and that would annoy me when editing 🤦🏽‍♀️ I was surprised for your rating with the R6 until you mentioned price. For the price I would definitely choose the RP and wait to upgrade to the R5. Thank you! Have you tried doing a review for the R6ii ?

[@KevGoesRiding]

Probably the best review of these bodies on youtube!

I personally liked the skin tones on the RP and R6 the best :)

[@iKeto_gal]

Irene, do most photographers provide the clothes for "models"? I noticed you have a wardrobe for models. I wondering how much of a service you provide. I see youtubers hiring models but I thought you get clients and that they come with their own wardrobe. Do your clients come for shots for their portfolio? Are you getting work from fashion clothes companies that require you to hire? Or are some of your videos you're doing tutorials and that you need to hire the models for that? Are a majority of your models instagram models?

[@ISTREET17]

I have a canon 200d and I want to upgrade it. Which one should I choose between RP and R6?

[@rvasquez8057]

R-6 looked like the most realistic color tones for the fist scene shot. After edit on shot 2, I have to go with the 6 again. Actually it was a toss-up between the 5 and 6 and for the camera price the 6 wins again. Great video and info. Will certainly help with my next purchase.

[@itsmebichu]

I’m planning to buy RP,upgrading from 70D What would be your opinion?

[@Jakeisinthepool]

Do you think the reason why r and rp was not sharp in the eye is because they did not have IBIS and you needed more shutter speed to stop the model and your hand motion

[@WhatsUpBali]

Im going with RP for money vs result - great video.. help me to decide.. thank you

Дякую за огляд ) можливо прослухав, але стосовно фокусу по очам якій є в R6 та R5, що так допомагає в роботі, які ваші враження? Воно того варто? Всі ми стаємо трохи ледачі) дивлюсь як заміну 6D MK2 на R6, дякую)

[@SergeiBarol]

hello! great shots! what do you think, if the RP is good enough for a first camera in 2023? As a daily camera I use my Samsung S21 :) and I want to switch to smth decent and mby full-frame, because as I understood the pixels are bigger and may get more light and the boke effect should be better with a full-frame. I plan to use it as a travel and every day camera for landscapes, nature, architecture (also street photography) and family.

[@clooner79]

Hi Irene. I am contemplating between R5 and R6. More leaning to R6 however but a little skeptical on the 20MP sensor. The R5 bigger 45MP is good but the price difference way too big. Is the R6 20MP good enough?

[@theweekendphoto]

I will be selling my 5d iv because of this and get. another rp, way to go Irene, we actually did have the same observation that rp is actually an underrated camera. Well, it really also depends on who's using these awesome gears! Thank you Irene! Much love❤️

[@josenava6339]

I have the Eos Rp and i was glad to see it came in 2nd place on this video.

[@notbradpitt2802]

Do you sell any Lightroom presets or have links to which presets you use?

[@gregs2466]

I bought the R after it came out so I could see if I like the mirrorless camera and was coming from the Canon 5D IV. I had a bad accident with the R and went ahead and bought the R5 and I love it and hardly ever use my 5D IV. The R was sent off to Canon and it came back with a $700.00 estimate to fix it. I declined since I would probably sell it and loose a lot. As they say, it's the photographer and the lens that makes the shot and you proved it!

[@technoparking7169]

`` it's the photographer and the lens that makes the shot and you proved it!`` This is the prescription that should be recommended to equipment patients. Thanks

[@shanec4441]

I have the Canon RP and it continues to amaze me at what is does for the price point. My goto lens is the 24-105 kit lens. Would like to have the R5 👀👀👀. The color on the R all appear off - lots of green color on the model’s skin for some reason

[@set3777]

I think the color on the R can be easily corrected by changing the Picture Style to FAITHFUL or AUTUUM HUE or even Standard. She seems to be using the "Portrait" Picture style

[@natashachowell]

Which lens did you pair with the R5 when you were doing the photos. Did you use the 50mm just for video and the 85 for photos?

[@kirfin]

Nice comparison! Great! ... I have two RP bodies ... I use them with the EF 50/1.2 and the EF 85/1.2 lenses. One lens for one body. No lens changing. No dirt inside. :-) The old EF lenses are not that sharp and have a lot of color fringing - but I like the look! And even because of that I'm old, too - my eyes are weak and the picture quality is more then perfect for me! :-)

[@ronaldroberts9555]

The R6 makes the most sense of all the cameras based on cost and performance.

[@youknowwho9247]

I second that. Personally I feel like the R6 does everything the R5 does unless the user a) produces lots of large prints or b) needs 8k video. But the R6 is literally half the price where I'm from (this is used prices for both).

[@hugoosorio3246]

I do have an R6 and did already shoot with all the other cameras, for me the r5 is the winner but im sorry the R6 is clear the second... For the stabilisation, AF, video without getting hot, science colors... Just wanna ask you how do you work with CR3 in lightroom, its losses all the canon color science, please do a video with that... continue the amazing work

[@minhtuanca]

Canon and Adobe have almost stopped playing together in ICC profile synchronization. Therefore, editing CR3 on Lightroom or Camera Raw is not the most effective because it loses its original color. Currently I am using Captrue One and Canon Digital Professional to edit CR3 and the results are very good.

[@Digi20]

Yes its a shame, the supplied color profiles for the R5 and R6 are basically useless and look horrible. You can create your own profile with a color calibration device. Also, you can buy profiles for example from color fidelity. they are definitely better than what adobe supplies and improve things a lot. still they do not look as good as the camera jpegs color wise, but after a little tuning i am personaly okay with them.
