Im Going Back To The Canon 5d in 2025

[@ntsms69]

Still using my 6D MKII almost entirely with the 70-200 L Zoom. Never ever feel the need to change, as it serves my needs perfectly.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

If it works for you then thats good

[@codyallen3729]

Just sold my 6d2 recently for a second 5D classic instead :P

[@novainvicta]

Hi Jason Long time no speak! Before I got the Canon R5 I had a Canon EOS 5Ds and in hind sight I wish Id never sold it. The colours from that camera are some of the best Canon have ever done and as you say it's a tank of a camera able to handle our weather extremes easily. If it has a weakness it's in low light where you can get some noise in the shadows but with recent improvements in AI noise reduction they should be controllable. One thing for certain you will not be disappointed with its results. Be lucky Jeff

I’m 71…started as a newspaper photog in the 70’s with b&w film. I now use a Nikon D850 for landscapes and Lumix GH5 and G9II for video. My advice to young photographers is quit watching KZbin videos about taking photos and go out and shoot photos. Shoot photos about things that matter to you and others. I looked through my lightroom photos last month and deleted 4,000+ photos. I don’t suppose my children will care about the photo of the guy on a unicycle in the park - no matter how nice the fall vegetation looked.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Yes thats what its all about getting out and just shoot and enjoy it

[@garyguest1999]

Totally agree. I use my old Pentax K1 and it captures everything I want. Brilliant camera.

[@robertleeimages]

Little 200d user here which came with twin kit lenses, i mostly take milky way nightscapes with a Tokina 14-20mm and have found it to be easily good enough for what I do. But i do need and hope to swap out the 2 kit lenses for an 18-135mm and a 150-600mm, which will then suit every type of images I like to take.

[@hawe9712]

Best camera ever, best sensor, best colours, best sharpness, best raw processing, best over all performance. This camera shows an absolute unique colour in the pictures…

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Thanks

Great Vid! I'm still using my Canon 20D and 100 f2 exclusively.

[@keithwiebe1787]

I had a 30d and couldn't hardly give it away a few years ago. Had my 5dm3 which blew it away. Now my R8 blows them all away (5dm3 may arguably be better for pro work). Mainly wanted good video along with good stills. The R8 does it all.

Happy new year to you Jason, some cracking images to start the new year mate, I always new you would go back to canon its what you are at home with, looking forward to what you have got to bring for 2025.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Thanks Martin... Happy New Year

[@helenadams9162]

Happy new year Jason🎉. I say shoot with what your comfortable with, I still shoot with my Canon 7d mk11 and as you know, it's a crop sensor. As they say ( don't fix what's not broken) if it brakes I may consider the 5D 🤔. I'm just a hobbyist not a pro. I've had some beautiful images inspired by yourself however, 2024 was spent doing aircraft photography so haven't done any landscapes....maybe I should...😊 Sorry to hear about your nephew but I'm sure he'll approve of his memorial spot🙏. Love your images and the music went well with them, made me want to go back to Dinorwig quarry. Look forward to your next video 😉

[@cerealkiller4248]

Nearly 3 years ago I upgraded from the 7D mk1, to an R6 mk1. As a birder I was waiting for the R7, but, after waiting for years eventually gave up Canon ever releasing one. First impressions, I was disappointed, after a 10 year wait, and going from crop to full frame, I was expecting a real jump in IQ. Remember, the R6 was using the same sensor as the 1Dx3, the flagship model. The other things I upgraded for, high ISO capabilities, animal eye AF, IBIS made a huge difference, but base ISO IQ just wasn’t the boost I was expecting. Years ago, on forums the 7D mk1 v 5D2 arguments were rife, with people who had gone FF and were telling the rest of us crop shooters the difference was profound. When asked to do a comparison the excuses would start. No one ever backed up their “night and day” claims with a side by side image test. I bought the Fuji crop cameras, firstly the X-Pro1, then the X-T1. 5D owners scoffed at the IQ/ISO from those cameras, then Fuji released the X-T2 with its serious AF. That was the body that had 5D3 owners selling up and going full Fuji.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Hi, Helen hope your well happy new year...ye you defo need to shoot with what works for you...My nephew certainly has a great spot.

[@byelochka]

I'm a mere hobbyist, but shoot Canon exclusively. Typically cameras in the 5D lineup. It's always a treat to break out the 5D classic and a vintage sense and just have some fun. Completely capable and produces great results. It's whole different animal from more modern cameras, but still as you said, "a beast."

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Very True... Thanks

You are hard pressed to beat the 5d's. I am very attached to the 5d mk2, the sensor rocks. Nice video with some really nice shots.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Thanks! 👍

[@Shakeypix]

Happy New Year buddy, I've had a 5Ds since it came out, and use it for studio and landscape, I have a multitude of cameras for different jobs, including 2 1DX's are for live music and event work and I'm persisting with an R6 mk 2, but don't trust it yet as a pro tool. What I'm trying to say is the 5Ds is the right tool for the job you are doing. Enjoy.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Happy new year! I have to agree with what you say Richard

[@novainvicta]

Try shooting in CRaw to compress the file sizes I could never see any difference in picture quality.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

I don't care what people say. I think there is something in megapixels with landscape photography. A lot of the newer cameras on the market. These days are 24 megapixels and I'll say this again not a fan of 24 megapixel cameras in fact I went the other way and just went stupid and bought a medium format GFX camera and oh my gosh I lo. I love that it's just unlimited. I'm now I'm not limited by my gear. There is virtually no limit with what I do with my gear now. I did the same thing with my father and it's a great acknowledgement. Take your time recovering Jason love your channel.

[@lensman5762]

You have just clearly stated the reason for your obsession, The Mega Pixels. Twenty years ago people produced stunning landscape photography using 8 or 10 MP cameras. Has the landscape changed in a way that it now needs a 100MP sensor??? What about next year when Mr Sony and Mr Nikon bring out their reputed 160MP cameras??? Mega Pixels do not matter, and do not make for better photographs, much like buying a £8000 Leica M boidy and a £6000 Leica M Apo something lens do not turn a person into a photographer.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

@@lensman5762 and with all due respect many of those photos don't look great. We get this obsession that those photos with 10 megapixels were great. They were great for them but they're not great by today. Standard you my opinion and they're not great when you blow them up either if you stood in front of one of my prints which is a 1.4 m x 600 mm print you would see what I mean but I'm not gonna get into an argument with you about that. Have a good Day.

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

I bet that GFX camera is great Nev

[@nevvanclarke9225]

@@jasonjonesphotography610 yeah it is and my apologies if I offended you. It wasn't my intention. I think there is so much great gear available to get out and shoot with. I actually teach photography in my local community and I often source cameras for my students and I go on the hunt for DS or early-stage mirrors cameras for budget. They're virtually is not a bad camera these days interestingly enough the GFX kind of operates a little bit like a DSLR it is very slow and it's methodical so it feels like I'm shooting with a DSLR even though it has the advantage of mirrorless and that's what I like about!

[@DaveEP]

@@lensman5762 These comments often seem to assume that the photographer must be making poor images and are trying to compensate with more megapixels. Why? What about more megapixels on an excellent image?

[@Johnny.Verplancke]

The rocky picture at 8:22 and the Three Sisters at the end were my favourites in this vlog... I myself started on a Canon 450D and I am using a Canon 70D for some years now. I know those are no full frames but these are way to expensive... Mind You as I'm strictly amateur I like my 70D (crop factor) camera... One works with the tools one can afford and is use to eh... Wouldn't dream of calling myself a photographer, I'm just a dude who likes to go on walks and take pictures of the things that...O well might as well use it... Catches mé Eye :)

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Thanks

[@eltinjones4542]

Some lovely images Jason. I'm sticking to my Nikon D800 for landscapes. I don't shoot a lot at the moment or do video so i couldn't justify the expense of going full frame or medium format mirrorless. Before anyone jumps in I know that the Canon 5Ds isn't a mirrorless camera It might be argued that DSLRs ar as good as if not better than Mirrorless for Landscapes and portraits Good luck for the New Year 📷👍

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Thanks Eltin...Happy new Year

[@lensman5762]

I know of many photographers who are now using ' old tech ' cameras in preference to the new computer imaging boxes. IMHO, some have done it out of the genuine desire to take some control back and produce less than ' perefct ' photographs for reasons that we all know. The others, well for the same reason that all of a sudden they became Leica M photographers!!!! If this move makes you a happier and therefore a better photographer then all the better. Keep well.

[@torsten1163]

Leica ist nur die ursprünglich handlichere Kamera mit "vernünftigen" Objektiven, um eine brauchbare Bildqualität zum wesentlich detailreicheren Mittelformat zu erreichen, was damals Standard war. Daran hat sich im Grunde nichts geändert. Die Preise sind gestiegen, man bekommt dafür bereits eine Mittelformatkamera...

[@jasonjonesphotography610]

Shoot with what your happy with i say...the 5ds is more than perfect for landscapes

[@lensman5762]

@@torsten1163 I have had Leica cameras for longer than I can remember including IIIc, M2, M3, M6 and M240. I have also owned Hasselblads and Pentax 67 since the early 1980s. There is no doubt that Leica is capable of producing very high quality results, there was a time when they had no competition with the exception of perhaps Zeiss/Contax. These days it is no longer true. Even the Chinese are now producing quite good M lenses at a fraction of the cost. Not that I promote Chinese lenses, quite the opposite in fact for various reasons, but the asking prices for the Leica cameras and Lenses are no longer justified by any stretch of the imagination, nor the use of these cameras by all the usual suspects on Y.T and elsewhere has anything remotely to do with producing photography of any merit nor the kind of photgraphy that requires a £20000.00 Leica M outfit. It is now more of a badge of honour, or belonging to a once very exclusive and highly artistic circle. As for digital imaging devices of today, the more I read and hear about them, the more I am glad that I still work with the likes of Nikon D810 and Canon 5D MKII and MKIII. The situation of the sponsorship of these highend cameras has become so ridiculous that I have seen the samples that were given away free by Hsselblad to some Y.T photographers being used for ' street ' photography. You couldn't make it up if you tried. For me the more basic the camera the better.

And I will go back to the Nikon D850 😊. All cameras make good images as long as you mount a high quality lens to the body. My reason are different, I hate it to carry a load of batteries with me. With the D850 for landscape and the D6 for wildlife and action I don’t need to charge the batteries for weeks.

24-70mm probably. Weighted like a boat anchor but a good lens. I've come to regret getting rid of my Canon of late. I too still have some lenses left, but I got rid of the good ones. Sigh. I'm kind of torn: I really miss the quality, color and vastly superior autofocus of the 5D, but I'm also kind of addicted to lighter weight of mirrorless since I've been shooting Lumix and Fujifilm. It's not just the heavier body, either. How are you feeling about all that extra weight?

I still own it use it for wildlife photography. But it falls way short of Sony Canon and Nikon. Not able to use high Iso not able to crop especially with the low pixel count.

@@thomasreed49 There is nothing wrong with M43. Its your expectations that need to be addressed. How much cropping do you do, 200%????
