Lower the background music.

For battery life, if you’re shooting RAW/cRAW turn off all Digital Lens Optimisation, peripheral illumination correction, etc as these only get applied to the jpeg preview and not to the RAW file, but do use up battery power!! 😃

Bought it and didn’t finish watching your video. Thanks.

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

You’re welcome

... another one who expects pro features in a 1000 dollar camera.wake up!

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

I made this video to help people on the fence about buying it and to help people who already own it with some of it’s downsides. Just because it’s not a pro camera doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be allowed to make videos about it.

[@troyflatland5299]

Saying don’t buy it is like saying don’t buy a Kia because Ferrari 🤡

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

@@troyflatland5299 well Kia’s aren’t really reliable, I wouldn’t say get a Ferrari instead but I would definitely recommend anything else. Like maybe a Toyota or a Chevy since you can get a lot of parts for cheaper if you live in the USA. Also the video isn’t about me trying to tell you not to buy it. It’s about some of its quirks and how to work around them.

Guy complaining, but using cheap ali express rgb light rune, wearing corona t shirt and using wind protector inside a room :D

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

Helping people get the most out of their camera is not complaining lol and you can just say you're jealous of my corona t-shirt I won't judge you :D

I own R8. Never talk about batteries. It is not a problem. Every person using mirrorless always carry two or three extra battery. And this battery is enough for 250shot. Main problem is not having a budget F2.8 zoom lens with IS like EF Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IS.

[@dresvizualz2102]

I find ghe battery life isnt horrible i was able to get 3hrs shooting 4k 60fps ive been loving it so far

[@Provisual.]

I still work with r8 ,you dont need pro feautures. Wtf is wrong with ppl. 😂

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

Completely agree with you. But I still feel like people should know about the cons and how to deal with them before spending $1500 on a camera

[@ulysseslee9541]

Battery: if compare to EOS-RP, it improved a lot, can 100 shots photos more than RP. Focus: Do u tried the sport motion focus mode? or the Skateboard park too many people and R8 failed to focus on u.

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

I’ve been testing out all the auto focus settings since uploading this video. It works great 8 times out of ten, the other 2 it just gets a little confused on what to focus on but if you’re on top of it you can usually correct it and still get the shot

[@thomashegna1078]

Regarding AF: You are using it wrong. 😉 Just use focus and recompose with tracking. Switch AF away from shutter button and map it to back button. This gives you the control of the AF back.

[@edking4226]

I would have bought one for my son's new real estate photography biz but the lack of dual card slots was the deal killer. Ended up getting a great deal on a gently use R6. I wish they could have factored in dual card slots even if the price had to be a little higher.

[@wildf1are]

I have a question: I understand the typical solution is to buy a card with 2x the storage. My question is why do you prefer a dual card slot over a single? I only ask this for educational purposes, I've only ever used a dual card slot camera once (borrowed for a weekend), with only one slot used, and would like to understand the importance of it.

[@alexandroskatsimprakis1055]

is it inefficient to carry like 5 or 6 spare cards?

[@Andrew-le3cw]

I've never heard about anyone actually needing 2 slots if they move pictures off the card as soon as possible. Also it breaks the #1 rule of backup as it doesn't save you from the device failing or corrupting the media. If it's really critical enough for 2 cards you should be shooting to an external device.

[@wildf1are]

@@Andrew-le3cw unless you want to set up the 2nd card slot as a RAID for if the first card fails

[@edking4226]

@@wildf1are If for some reason one card fails where you don't know until it's too late you have that backup. I literally had a card crack inserting into a laptop slot.

[@ult1006]

What's with the sound of this video? We don't need it. Too loud.

[@robby_fulton]

Looks like a neat camera but I'm still loving my 6D. I personally don't think mirrorless has made a big enough jump yet to justify the expense of a new camera for stills. Maybe for video?

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

I had a canon t8i before the R8 and biggest difference is its low light capabilities, filming 4k without a crop and having a log profile. Those were the specific reasons I upgraded for.I would definitely recommend sticking with what you got unless there’s a specific thing that you’re wanting to be better

[@lovetocrack3443]

Can i use r8 with powerbank ?

[@tranquilo_mode]

I heard the R8 has the same bottom design as the RP so you can use the same vertical handgrip on it with the built in battery extension. This will give you the abilities to add an additional battery to increase your session time

[@IsaiahWehrmann]

That’s a really good tip 👍🏻
