Check out this New Video where I talk about My Favorite Lens: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonZqHaPm7eJacU

[@ThreeCeeProductions]

I am an R5 user. I plan to keep this camera until it can’t be fixed. The picture quality is excellent. The features are impressive. The price will come down so you can get a good used version. The lenses I’ve collected makes it almost impossible to leave Canon. It’s glass plus body that counts.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Big facts! Canon for life. 💪

[@smaakjeks]

Got my R5 used this year. Upgraded from 5Dsr. Love it!

[@SimonAckerman]

I damaged mine in the first year but luckily it can be fixed. I used the R5 straight from a cold camera bag to 107F during a heatwave in Cyprus and the viewfinder cracked from a thermal fracture. It leaked some black LED liquid so has a small black circle on the screen but functions fine. Hoping to get it fixed soon but be warned about using it from the cold to extreme heat.

[@maximolopez9135]

This video is incredibly misleading, who is your audience or target? All the issues that you mention seems to be for people that are just starting in photography, if anyone wants quality and performance it will come at a price. Any camera or drone with even entry level professional specs will required a better set up and more space, its expected if you are buying a professional equipment that it has professional needs to be met.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for your input, Maximo. I have defined my target audience as people that are ready to make a large purchasing decision. Whether they be beginners with large budgets or pros that are in the market for the R5 they may as well jump to the R5C or the Canon cinema line. When I purchased my R5 I wish I would have known about all the surrounding expenses that came along with it so that I could have prepared and budgeted more smartly. So to sum it up the video is for people with large budgets but may not have years of data management/processing experience. In that case, I think the R6 Mark II may be a better option. As I explained in the video I appreciate your thoughts. Where can we find your work?

[@maximolopez9135]

​@@TMVVisualMedia I'm not looking to misjudge or undermined your work, apologies if it's the case. If I were to recommend or give advice to someone with a large budget would be to focus more on lenses rather than cameras, with the price of an R5 I would go for a Canon R8 and a Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L given that lenses make a whole world of difference and most likely will outlive the camera. About my work, Im quite new to publishing my work, and still working in my website and social media accounts, but is still interested let me know.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Absolutely I am interested! I'm attempting to build an online presence myself that has like minded people that may help each other navigate the sometimes confusing and expensive world of photography and video. I find it's important to remember that there are people with more experience and there are people with less experience. Positive vibes only, amigo.

[@leviescamilla632]

I agree with this comment. Sounds like you are not a professional. You are a hobbyists who doesn’t need a high end piece of equipment. You are just bashing and hating on a camera that you specifically don’t need. Also, sounds like you did absolutely zero research before purchasing the R5. Just an all around terrible take. I would definitely not take any type of advice from this guy.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

@leviescamilla632 thanks for the comment!

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

My rather cheap M1 MacBook (~900$) Air easily edits my files (raw photos and 4K videos). When you buy an item this expensive for its stellar image quality, bigger file sizes are just what you get. I upgraded from the R6 to the R5 and I am blown away by how much more details I can get now (esp. for wildlife). Also, cRaw is highly underrated and saves a lot (!) of space.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

You sir deserve a pinned comment! Thanks for the comment. I have to say that perhaps to some 900 dollars is "cheap" Let's say you don't own a nearly one thousand dollar computer but a generation or two back. I suppose my point was to highlight that it can get pricey quickly. Don't get me wrong as I highlighted in the video. I love my R5 and I love my R6. I still own both but the R6 files are so much easier to render and manage. I also am blown away by the image quality. Thanks again for the comment!

[@altonmarsh]

Love the R5…and now I can switch to the negatives. I shoot cRaw but I learned from the DxO support team that some of their software only works for full raw files. And now the biggie: I never had a freeze-up the way other people did. Their screen would show the last picture but the buttons wouldn’t work. My freeze-up was a failure on the flippy screen that short circuited. It appeared to be blank but was glowing blue in a darkened room. The screen got wildly hot. Couldn’t turn it off. I sent Canon $400 for new screens on the back, top, and viewfinder, and a complete new motherboard. You really know your stuff.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Wow. That sounds like an expensive malfunction on the manufacturing side. What a shame. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@mikeyseifert80]

Good to hear, I just ordered my R5 and happy to hear my MacBook Pro will handle the files.

[@Xirpzy]

Waiting for the mk2. I love my R6. The speed and AF opened a new world for me. I have good lenses now 85mm, 28-70 f2 for everyday shots, 100-500 with extender for wildlife. The only thing I really feel like I want over the R6 is more mp and faster video for slow motion but I want to see where the R5 mk2 lands with pricing. If its like the R3 or sony A1 I'll be looking for a regular R5 instead.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I think it's the best approach. That was kinda my intent with this video. "it may be worth the wait" Thanks for comment! Let me know what you decide!

[@johnh6535]

I got my R5 in May 2021 ... and love it ... but have just added an R8 for reduced size, weight and workflow benefits. I can't part with the R5 though for sheer detail and crop ability which is awesome !

[@martinkurian2492]

This was one of the most down to earth practical advice I have come across. Thanks very much. ❤ Will be regularly following you. 😊

[@moviewryter1985]

Great, informative video. Thank you. (subscribed)

[@danielson_9211]

If you can wait for the R5II I would say don't buy it, but if you need the mp for wildlife or landscape now is a great time to get it with the discount, as far as mp and your pc not handling it then its time to upgrade, don't knock the camera for you being cheap same thing for drive space or use c-raw instead. You get what you pay for is the bottom line Sony A7rv 3899 new Nikon coming out going to be around same price range. If you want to go up R3 5500 down R6II 2500 its pretty simple.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

You hit the nail on the head with this comment. Exactly right. Thanks for the comment!

[@MrMartin246]

Thank you. I share your point of view the r5 is a money pit. The increased quality is beyond the needs of most. People zoom the pixels on their computer and are wowed. But look at pictures at a normal size or even print them and the gain is very marginal. I contemplate an r6 mark II so the whole photography process is not a chore. My pics are for me and will never go to an art gallery. I am glad you did that video. Too many reviewers make review for the top 1% of pros rather the average enthusiast. You balanced the added quality of the r5 with the added cost and complexity it brings.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thank you for your comment! 😄 You heard and recieved my message exactly as intended. You may notice others in the comments missed my biggest points. 🧐 A money pit is a little harsh but I totally agree with the sentiment. I was shocked to learn about all the surrounding costs. 💸 The R6 II is a fantastic camera for the 99 percent. 👍 Thanks again, amigo! 🤝

[@jseboudoir]

Very informative! I appreciate it so much. Informed me on the bidden costs that I must expect if i purchase an r5. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@foadkaros708]

Very good points!

[@mardukmd2274]

if you have an issue with the file sizes, that can be "fixed" in the settings. theres no settings in the R6 that will make it shoot 45MP images.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the comment. You are correct.

[@sonicck]

Great video, this is good information for the FOMO crowd because KZbinrs will sell this these cameras and don’t get into the in’s and out’s of the money part not the price of the cameras but the money around having a flag ship camera body 4000$+ plus all the upgrades you will have to do to have things running right this is true and that’s a good thing to know where your pockets are especially if you get into this world of photography. Are you or can you make this money back in what you are doing with the camera in a small amount of time or in another case you may have the income we’re you’re not hurting at all. This type of information is always good again great video.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the comment! You are so right. I made this video because I hoped to get that exact message across. I wish I would have listened to people having this sort of video. Everything gets expensive when you add supporting gear. Thanks again for the thoughtful comment!

[@Chris-NZ]

My three year old Imac (pre the M chips) handles the files and photoshop fine. The 60mg plus files are big sure, but storage is getting so cheap . I can still remember when my company was paying $100 per megabyte for ramm !!! Apart from the CF express cards there was no extra expense upgrading from the 5d4 , obviously lens cost is another matter . Don’t be put off, this is a camera you’ll have for years. Oh and IBS and the top LCD are not to be under estimated .

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the comment. Several good points.

[@AT-js6py]

Well said ! I'm a r6 mark 2 user and love the camera. However Im in a dilemma as i got a job coming n need a B cam, Ive a 5d3 bmpcc4k bmpcc og but the colours are a bit difficult to match in post. Whats your advice ? buy another R62 ? rent r62 or any mirroless as a B cam and wait for the r5 2 ? Understand you own r5 r6 and r8, how are their colour in post ? are they exactly the same or slight variations ? Thanks in advance. You got a liked !

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the question and like! In my opinion, the R5 in is a league of its own. So if you go that route the R5 will be your new A cam. But if I were you I would consider renting them first to see for yourself about the color match. I don't see an issue with any of the cameras not matching colors.

[@AT-js6py]

@@TMVVisualMediathks for the advice, most likely I’ll not go the r5 route as the storage is a problem. Prefer the r6 mark 2 workflow. 👍

[@NotNudeDude]

Firstly great video, everything you’ve mentioned is true. I just picked up my R5 from B&H since they put it up for $3,400 along with a battery grip. My only reasoning was that canon does not offer discounts on newly launched products. I don’t think I’d be spending that extra money on the Mii version even if it came out and that’s just me. I mainly bought it as it’s compatible with the dual fisheye lens and i wanted to explore 180 videos. Lastly the lenses are so damn expensive, if you’re getting newly into the canon eco system, waiting for the Mark 2 version isn’t going to make sense. Right now I’m struggling with buying the right lenses but so far I’ve ordered 100mm 16mm 50mm 1.8 and I was torn between the 14-35 f4 and the 15-35 2.8 and I’m waiting for the 5.2 dual fisheye to come in stock as well. Lmk if what I did is right or not 😂 Overall, picking these up has been extremely expensive. Not to mention the CF express cards costed almost as much as the R50 or most POS cameras! Absurd. All in all it’s a great camera to step into, the new camera cannot have a better video codec for lower file sizes nor will it take noticeably better images.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the comment! I think you made a decision that was right for you. You understood the point of my video exactly. It was an effort for people to think critically if they are in the market for the R5. As for your lens choices I would have to know a little about what you plan on photographing or filming. Consider following me on social media so I may see your work. Also, I have several videos on lenses on my channel. Here is my latest lens review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonZqHaPm7eJacU Let me know if you have any other specific questions! Thanks again for the support and the view.

[@NotNudeDude]

@@TMVVisualMedia haha I do get the click baity title tho, riles people up 🤣 Thanks for the lens review! I plan on shooting jewlery making videos along with that I’d also love to do some paid architecture / interior photography I bought the 16mm 2.8 but just cancelled my order. I’m very torn between the 14-35 used for 1230 and 15-35 2.8 for 1.5k USD I know if I buy either i can always sell them for roughly 200$ lower as they’re already discounted I believe the 2.8 is a great lens but due to its bulky size I’m opting for the F4 I don’t wanna be that guy in a crowded place with a huge lens 🤣 Hence why I thought 16mm prime was perfect initially

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I own the 15-35mm f2.8 its a lovely lens. I don't concern myself with the opinions of others when I am taking images. Most people don't care. The spotlight effect is very real. But when im taking photos im in my own world. Feel free to check out some of my photography. Also if you're doing jewelry photography consider a macro lens. It may come in handy. Talk about a bulky lens. I just released this review of my favorite lens kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonZqHaPm7eJacU Let me know what you think.

[@jimgreulich7860]

Thanks for the review... you made some good points but there are a few "issues" you mentioned that I don't think will be applicable to many photographers... unless of course the R5 would be their very first higher-end camera, which is probably not very likely. 1st: as others have mentioned, most reasonably modern PC/Macs will be able to handle the R5 output just fine. Again, not sure there are that many serious photographers don't already have a decent computer, so it's probably not going to be a major consideration for most considering the R5. 2nd: mass hard drive storage is dirt cheap right now. for external HDD, you can find close to $10 per TB at times and even the speedier 7200 RPM internal HDDs aren't much more than that. Now, I do agree about the in-camera storage. I have a collection of older 32 & 64GB SD cards that are not going to cut it when i upgrade from my current 6D, so yeah, getting a few newer gen SD cards will add some to your overall expense. 3rd: I get that you and a lot of people love their R6 M2 and yes, it's almost $1k cheaper, but it's also not in the same stratosphere as the R5 with only half the MP count, among other things... you get what you pay for lol. 4th: will be interesting to see happens with the eventual R5 M2. I'm not holding out to buy that when released, but was originally considering waiting for the M2 release to buy a M1 at a discounted price. However, with the current deal running at a few places, especially if you are combining with a lens purchase... not really sure prices will ever go lower than this for new (maybe they will but i doubt it).

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Fantastic points! Thanks for that well-thought-out comment. I certainly agree with a few of your counterpoints. My first camera was the M50 and within a year I was buying the R6 and less than 6 months I was buying the R5. Before that, I had never touched an interchangeable lens camera. I owned a 500-dollar computer used for Lightroom Classic and basic email and spreadsheets. To say that a MacBook is cheap is a little off-base. I think the M1 would be sufficient for the files of the R5 and video, proxies will be needed but an M1 is about 1000 bucks. I suppose we do live in a world where when we can afford the payments then we can afford the item. For me, it was a massive shock. It's possible that my scenario is not common. But perhaps my video will better prepare someone that may be in a situation similar to mine. Thanks again for the view and the comment!

[@leviescamilla632]

Exactly my thoughts. This guy completely jumped the gun with purchasing a camera he couldn’t handle. Classic rookie mistake. And he blames the camera for all the “problems” he’s had to spend money on. Very bad take on the Canon R5.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

[@viajesyaventurasdeomar285]

Nice video my friend but I have a question? I have the r5 using for photo and video is amazing, I use 4K 60 for some shoots and edit in davinci with my MacBook 16gb i9 intel and struggle a bit but I optimized the files , the question is I have to make changes in the export setting for don’t downgrade the quality??

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I would use proxies while editing. Do you currently use proxies? I use premiere pro, and I also use proxies. It makes a 1080p version of your footage that is easy for your machine to work with. You can do all the edits and everything. Then when you are about to export the final version the program switches the footage and adds your edits to the 4k version. Try going on KZbin and searching "davinci resolve and proxies" Thanks for the awesome question. Where can we find your work?

Totally agreed! When I moves up to the R5, all surrounding gear needed changing and it disrupted my whole work flow I had developed. Not that disruption and change is bad. But I wasn't ready for the financial burden it would take to get my flow stream lined again. Awesome comment. Thanks!

[@ShotByCurt]

NAS is clutch! I agree depending on where people are in their journey and what their budget is this camera can be expensive for sure. But its a investment that can and will pay for itself whether this $4k body or another. Ill even go as far as to say you can get a cheaper body and get better glass or even some lighting. All these things are tools. Good video would have loved to see some of the things you captured with it as b-roll

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the comment! You are so right! I should have totally added some more B roll. I'm planning a follow-up video because the day I released the video Canon had a massive price drop on the R5 and the R3. I think the Mark II may be announced soon. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!

[@JGZphotography]

I have been a long time Canon shooter graduating from the DSLRs to mirrorless. Now having two R3s and one R6ii, I have added the R5 on a recent purchase from a friend. what a difference in photo quality 45 MP delivers! However, the R5 control settings and handling characteristics are somewhat different than the R3 and R6ii. Plus, a 512 GB CFexpress card is highly recommended. Then again, all three camera models have their differences, and it takes a bit of new memory coordination to know what camera I am holding. Based on all three models, I tend to use all three as if using the R6ii and knowing there will be minor variations in use. As an action sports photographer, using the R5 was a bit mind boggling, but I love the extra MP count on the R5 sensor for much tighter image cropping in post. The Canon R5 is a great camera whenever high-resolution imagery is a must when doing commercial work.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I also love my R5. It's my favorite camera to choose when I can only take one body with me. I own the R5 , R6, and the R8. All wonderful cameras but the R5 takes the win for me. Thanks for the comment!

[@BEC7OR]

By Mind boggling in Sports photography, do you mean that in a super bad way? Did you prefer R6ii in sports scenarios or the R5 for the extra mp. Im have to make a decision between r6ii and r5 Thanks!

[@Lil-JensStudio]

R5 Mark II and the R5 price drop is the best reason to postpone a R5 purchase. Two years ago I made the jump from a 90D to the EOS R. Even though it was not the fastest nor does it have all the bells and whistles of the R5, the 30 Megapixel sensor still delivers stunning images that are on par with any other camera in the Canon R series. I might upgrade to the R5 Mark II next year but for now, the R5 is too close to being lapsed by the Mark II version to make it a viable purchase option.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Exactly!

As a professional I understand more than most, I shoot jpg and cRAW, though I rarely use RAW files as unless there is a massive tonal range the camera is quicker at producing jpgs than I am, RAW is overrated. Incidentally so are megapixels when most of us do not have a lens than resolves more than 25mp anyway.

Interesting that I just happened upon your channel today, just as I was considering an R5! I was Nikon person for years, and still have my D750 with several lenses. However, when digital came into play, I got into the Fuji system for its much smaller and lighter cameras, but especially its lenses. However, with 2 and 5 year old very active grandkids, the Fujis are pretty challenged when it comes to reliable autofocus, and thus my looking into the Canon R6-2 and also the R5. As you predicted, B&H now has the R5 with a $500 discount, and are even throwing in the battery grip! I will never pay the many thousands of dollars for the expensive Canon glass, so I would probably just consider getting the R5 with 24-105 f4 lens which can be had for a $200 discount as a kit. Any suggestions, recommendations? Is the R6-2 still a better choice at regular price? Smaller files, great low light, but it's not an R5, and the R5 is highly discounted.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the awesome question. That's a really tough choice. But I think it comes down to your workflow and what sort of supporting gear you have. I would consider things like: what sort of editing am I doing and what software I'm using. Can my computer handle 1000 raw images in a row? Among other things mentioned in the video But you mentioned your grandkids, is the camera going to be primarily used for family and personal stuff or will it be a piece of gear that you make money with?

@@TMVVisualMedia That was the fastest response ever! Thank you! So, if you didn't have either camera, and you had a choice today to get the R6-2 for $2499 or the R5 with battery grip for $3399, and you could only have one, which one would you get? I would use it mostly for grandkid pictures and video due to its great autofocus (vs Fuji), and I don't mind the extra cost of the R5 if it's a significantly better camera. Also, would the 24-105 f4 lens take advantage of the R5, as it would probably be the only Canon lens that I would get for quite a long time. My M1 Pro MacBook woulds be able to handle the files, and I have 18TB Seagate drives for family folders, with backups. I'm retired, so no professional work, and I would continue to use my Fujis for trips, etc. as autofocus is not a big issue then, and I much prefer the significantly less bulk. Thanks again!

Happy to help. The R5 with a battery grip will likely be the last camera you will ever buy. It's also future-proof enough that you may gift it to a loved one in 15-20 years. If given the choices you listed and I had the budget I would get the R5. As for the lens. The 24-105 f4 is on my wish list. Its low on my wish list but it's an L series lens and they come with superior quality and ultimate optical performance. Best of the best. I also own several lenses. I love the RF line up.

I am starting a pet photography business and my original plan was to get the Canon 5d mark IV, but the sales person at Best Buy suggested the R6 Mark II if not the R5. I explained to him that I take both regular portraits and action shots of dogs running or any pet that doesn’t sit still 😅, but needed a camera with a faster shutter speed, better autofocus, etc. I’m also on a budget. My problem is I keep wondering if I made a good choice or if I should’ve looked into something different. I love and will only use canon.

What I don't understand about your video are the reasons you gave not to buy an R5. This reasons you gave aren't valid. Taking up too much space , being expensive to store your files and the price of the body. In case you didn't know, that applies to every camera that competes with the R5. They are all expensive and they all take up storage due to their files. And of course the R5 will drop in price, its what happens to every camera once it ages. Now if you were to tell me that this camera isn't worth buying due to its ergonomics or customizable menu or its ease of use then I would say ok you have a valid point.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thanks for the comment! The comparison is more related to a consumer jumping from an R6 or a more consumer camera all the way up to the R5. I wish I had a video like this when I made the sudden jump and was hit with all the extra costs that come with owning a pro camera. Thanks again!

Ihave had an R5 through 50,000 clicks and I disagree with some of your points. Ihave never noticed a problem with storage. I can give you a real reason to avoid it. If you have an L bracket that requires twisting the flippy screen into a slot, it will eventually short circuit from all that twisting. Mine did. So I bought a new replacement R5 for $2,999 thanks to the present sale that was not present when you made the video, not $3,700 as you note. And I have an R6 II as well.

I Don't agree that 8K RAW is unusable, for me it is absolutely usable, but you need good hardware. I use a 2TB CFExpress and the files are well editable in Davinci Resolve 18.5 (with an AMD 9 7950X, 128GB DDR5, some ssd's 4-Gen and a 4090RTX). I am not a pro, but I like sharp videos with nice colors. And for me 8K RAW Videos are noticeable sharper than any other video mode in the R5, and I like 12Bit colors more than 10Bit colors. Ok I sold my R5, but only because I want 8K RAW 60fps and the R5 has only 8K RAW 30fps, (and reselling now brings more than when the R5 MKII will be released). I still have my R5C and I am waiting for the R5 MKII or (depending on the price) maybe the R1. Now as I only left with the R5C, I ordered a R50 just to have something to record when I want to make a clip of my A-Cam. I just wonder why a lot of persons always say 8K RAW is not usable... and this is the reason why I wrote here, the rest of your video is ok ;-)

[@p_adam19]

Big advantage of the R5 is the handling for photo/video: can be configured to switch instantly with the M-Fn button and the mode button is on the right side as well, giving access to specific modes the user wants to see (all the rest can be disabled), all visible on the display, no need to move away from the EVF. This feature may worth it alone if it means taking the shot instead of missing it. A hybrid camera is best if all of its capabilities are quickly accessible to the user and this is where the R6 is not the best. The R6 mode dial is filled with stuff that one does not need, and the Mark II isn't much better with the photo/video switch on the left, just awkward to get to while looking through the viewfinder. They've still haven't made it as good as the R5 was, so moments might be missed, and the R5C isn't great with the delay either. (they've promised to improve that via a future firmware, but still not optimal.) Also make me a bit worried about the R5 Mark II being a backwards step for ergonomics. For video the same recording options are still there as in the R6, so it does not necessarily take up any more space (except 4k120p of course, but that is also a big differentiator) I wish there was an option for a lower-res raw stills like they did on some DSLRs, then the R6 series wouldn't really have any advantage there. But for wildlife, being able to go to APS-C crop in stills or a video can be a noticeable advantage.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Awesome insight! One of my favorite features is the M-fn button to video. You are so right about that convenience. I ask myself though if that convenience is worth over 1000 dollars more. Particularly if your not a paid professional. I noticed that today they dropped the price of the R5 and the R3. Could mean an announcement is right around the corner.

If you can secure a new R5 body for under 3k it's totally a no brainer. But it might be worth to wait for all the people that will be upgrading.

Honestly, have the M3 Max laptop to support processing, and 20 TB of NAS storage so don’t mind the downsides in that respect. I’ve had the R6 which I loved, and currently have the r8 which I love. Debating because because the R8 or R6/R6II don’t work with an Astro ecosystem I got, even though that’s a small part of my usage.

Where you will see the difference is in the megapixel count. The 45 megapixel vs the 24 megapixels is a massive jump. I'm not familiar with live streaming and how the quality of the stream is affected by latency and internet connection. From just a normal video recording perspective there is a noticeable difference in the amount of reframing and cropping I can do with both cameras. The R5 has the advantage over the R6 in every category. With the exception of file and data management.

@@TMVVisualMedia Ok, I understand it. So let's assume, you set in both cameras format of recording video in 4K/24P. Will you see the difference in video file? Sorry my questions are non professional. :) But I try to understand the difference for specific situation :)

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I think to the naked eye you won't see a major difference. But 24mp vs 45mp when it comes to processing and flexibility. Do I think that the flexibility is worth an extra 1000 dollars more. Personally I think so. But what and how you create is up to you. I am uncertain how you value that sort of stuff. But if you want the absolute best possible image and you have the budget. I would absolutely recommend the R5 or the R5C. They are the highest megapixel camera Canon has to offer currently. The R5 Mark II is rumored to have more megapixels and more premium features. I also think that the average viewer or client will not care about your megapixel count, however. As long as the video and audio are good. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help.

You can edit the footage from a canon r5 on an iPhone 13 Pro with ease.

They just lowered the R5 price by $500, looks like the R5II is on it's way to coincide with the release of the RF 100-300

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I know! I just saw it as soon as I woke up! I'm absolutely going to make next weekend's video about that. I was laughing because I released the video around 3 am and I woke up to my feed with a few videos saying there was a massive price drop. But I think you're right, they may be making an announcement sooner than expected. Are you planning on getting the Mark II version?

[@johnblackmouth]

@@TMVVisualMedia I was just thinking when will they come out with a mark ii and if I should wait.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

It can be a tough choice. Surprisingly if you go through the comments alot of people have things to say. Personally, I would wait for the Mark II. Not only will there be another price drop but the used market will flood with trade ins. That's just me though. It's a fantastic piece of tech like I mentioned in the video. I love it. Thanks for the comment and the view!

[@HookedOnSonics]

Yea, I got drawn in by the discount hype, more then likely releases will coincidence with 2024 France Olympics for both, taken a guess, R5II around 1st quarter of 2024 and R1, 2nd quarter, this would make more sense for the Olympics, and the RF 100-300 on either … EPIC!!!

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Very cool. Let me know your thoughts on the camera. I hope that you like it.

@@TMVVisualMedia Nikon is about to launch the Z8. Why take away some of the fanfare?

[@Chris_Wolfgram]

The R5 was my first mirrorless camera and it was fantastic in a lot of ways. But being a bird shooter... mostly small birds that I was trying to fill my frame with, I ended up having to crop a TON > even with my 800mm F11 lens ! I even tried the crop mode, which drops the MP's to only 17mp, but that left me little room for cropping. I ended up renting the 33mp R7. This lens puts twice as many MP's on my subjects, in fact, no other body, from any other manufacturer, packs as many MP's on a crop sensor. I did so well with it, I ordered one before retuning the rental. Then, my R5 sat on the dresser collecting dust. I started to feel guilty that my R5 was getting no play, so I tried taking it out > and was very disappointed :( For my purposes, as it turns out, the $1500 R7 was just a much better choice. So I sold the R5, bought a second R7 as a backup + the 600 F11 + the RF 100-400 + paid my rent, and never looked back. What I dream of nowadays, is a pro level crop sensor camera, or, some pretty big upgrades with the R7 Mk II whenever it comes out. But yes, for a lot of other photography genres, the R5 is fantastic. Mine used to glitch and lockup a lot, but I suspect that had more to do with the grip, than the body.

too bad, I already got RF lenses.

[@jdc2126]

Was excited with the R6 then saw that it’s only 20mp for photos 😂 The R8 was like cheaper with 24mp wow then no IBS, 30 minute battery 😢 WTF Canon! Such bad crippled cameras.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Don't let the 20mp fool you. The camera is a premium piece of equipment. Its a full frame sensor meaning that the mp capture a ton of detail and produce some spectacular results. Its my opinion that the original R6 is one of Canon best prosumer cameras. Its fantastic. I sometimes prefer the 20mp images I get from my r6 than the 45mp I get from my r5. Remember these cameras are not cell phones. They have massive sensors. More megapixels does not equal better images. Thanks for the comment!

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

@@TMVVisualMedia why do you like the pictures from the r6 over r5? Just curious

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Great question! I love the R6 system as a whole more than the R5. The R6 was so intuitive and I never missed with the R6. It's tough to articulate but there was something about the images and video that come out of the R6. I even tried matching all of my setting exactly the same as my R6 to my R5 and the way the R5 snaps to things is different. Honestly, it's splitting hairs. But I notice it. The R5 is fantastic though and I'm fortunate to own both.

[@chrisjohnsonfilms]

@@TMVVisualMedia I've owned the r5 few times. I'm bad at buying and reselling. I played with some raw files last night for r6 mark ii and they do look great. Right now I'm only using c70 for video but thinking of getting r6 mark ii this time for photo. Still deciding. I do like the high mp though but really impressed with the look of r6 ii look to

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Let me know what you decide. It's a tough choice.

[@davidkouris2832]

B&H and others have knocked the price down $500.

[@TMVVisualMedia]

I know! I just saw that this morning. It's so exciting! I got my tin foil hat on over here. I'm thinking they may make an announcement very soon for the Mark II. Are you planning on getting one? Thanks for the comment by the way.

[@davidkouris2832]

I just ordered the RF 24-70 f2.8 for $200 off. I can't justify the price of the RF 28-70 f2 at this time in my career

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Thats going to be an incredible lens.

[@vlcthefish]

@@TMVVisualMedia I'm hearing Mark II isn't until Q4. This price reduction is just a reaction to Z8 to price it against Nikon.

@@vlcthefish very possible. But im expecting an announcement. But the release date may not be for a few more months. Do you happen to know how long they wait in between announcement and release date for canon?

Bro fix your jump cuts with product video and speed up your delivery. I’ve been a creative director for 20 years based out of LA, I shoot for major brands and make 25k+ for weddings. I have never advertised, do no social media, trust me. Just get to it and display your skills in you videos. And skip the silly lens shorts, it actually hurts your brand. Keep it up 👍🏼
