The fact that he kept saying “my friend” and then mispronounced his last name twice made me cringe.

[@cammackey]

I have the C70, it feels like it’s what we thought the R5 was going to be. It’s solid af. I still use my R5 for video, but on hybrid shoots. So switching from photos to video throughout the day keeps the overheating away.

I love the R6! I use it strictly as a B cam. The overheating isn’t nearly as bad as I was lead to believe. Turning it off in between shots and using an A cam really helps it.

[@jimmystewartuk]

I’ve bought into the RF system precisely for the lens. Camera is important it gets updated far quicker than the lenses.

[@finnillson4808]

With the release of the M1 Macs, I ordered the R5 about a week later. I shoot 60/40 video to photos. The firmware update improved the overheating timer thing to where it works for me. Hoping for clog 3 to improve dynamic range and keep it competitive. It’s a stellar photo camera for almost anything: landscape, portrait, product...it’s actually a great hybrid from Canon.

[@adityarao2974]

I would love you guys to make a review on the new FX6

[@tombuck]

Between this and Philip Bloom’s review, I’m really thinking of going for the R5 at some point in the near future.

[@finnillson4808]

If you don’t need it, wait for a price drop. The lenses are the real killer of your wallet, even for a holy trinity setup it’s big money. Eagerly awaiting my R5. Hoping before Christmas but doubtful.

[@AnalyzeIt]

I was hesitant too and was thinking about the A7S3 but I eneded up chaning my mind and got the R5 in mid September and I love the EOS R5. The reviews are usually always misleading and it's so much better when you actually use the camera itself. I'm using it for KZbin and I'm also using for Photography and it's amazing. I usually shoot in 4K 30 All-i in CLOG. Only if you shoot in 4K HQ mode or 8K than yes it will overheat in about 25mins for me. I live in Hawaii so it's hot and humid but for me Standard 4K looks great and doesn't overheat if you crop alot than you will notice the difference but on my 4K TV and monitor it wasn't a significant difference for me to really go out and complain about it been terrible. Most viewers on KZbin consume content at 480P-1080P at the highest. The only thing is the files are massive so I had to buy 512GB CF-Express Card and a bunch of V90 UHS-II SD Cards and it gets even more expensive to own a R5. Even 1080P ALL-i with CLOG on the R5 looks good. RF glass is expensive but its worth it but it depends on everyone's budget. The Canon EOS R5 isn't for everyone but I love my Hybrid Camera. 😁.

[@SourceAwareness]

Yes! Thanks guys, best wishes

[@indymogul]

Thank you!!

[@antiseth3964]

My understanding of this video is that the initial consensus about the R5 hasn’t changed. If you’re someone who loves photography and occasionally needs to utilize video capability, then it’s an excellent investment that will give you almost unbeatable quality. If you’re a serious filmmaker or videographer with casual to no interest in photographic work, however, then you are likely not considering it. The C70 and Canon’s other cinema options are going to be the go-to for dedicated video and film work.

[@indymogul]

Exactly. And it’s strange that is the case because canon marketed it as if it were designed for filmmakers. It’s really just for certain niches of filmmaking. Not a workhorse tool like the C70

[@antiseth3964]

@@indymogul Not to mention cameras from other manufacturers released shortly after that also filled the role much better (bias disclosure: I’m a Sony shooter, so I’ve got my eyes on an A7S III or a hypothetical A7 IV that may be on the horizon)

[@davidaltizer]

Not gonna lie... I feel like Canon's color science has gotten worse with the newer crop of cameras. Sony's has gotten better. Olympus is still the best and that is why we have been shooting on the Olympus EM1 mkiii more and more on Indy Mogul 🙃. ProRes Raw update coming soon to Olympus... anyone wanna see that? LOL

[@AnalyzeIt]

Nah Sony is still very green toned. Canon has bit more mangenta tons but its more usable and easier to grade.

[@csound55]

I've found editing r5 8K RAW footage in DaVinci is not a problem as long as long a 4K timeline is used and Decode quality is set to full res Resolve instead of full res Canon. I'm editing on a 2017 iMac and the RAW files are on an external SSD. External monitoring needs to be set to HD 1080 in the image scaling tab. The edits play smoothly even with a number of nodes and final can rendered in 8K if required when the edit and grade is complete.

[@metiupapluch]

Great video, but I still need your help guys, I am about to upgrade my current DLSR and i am seriously thinking about R5. I am into photography with interests in video. But this overheating is a big deal for me. I mean 8K 60fps i dont need that, maybe only for few second clips. But - does this camera overheat during full day of shooting on FullHD settings? I would probably go even higher, and say UHD, 2K and mabye 4K.

[@EsotericNY]

Love my R5 - firmwide updates have fixed many overheating issues, but there are some internal settings that help, as well. For the perfect blend of image quality, video formats supported and price - none better

[@markshirley01]

Did you use M1 Macs to edit the 8K

Hopefully with time it’ll go down!

[@KDHildreth]

​@@indymogul Another youtuber did a teardown and discovered that the R5 has almost no thermal reduction engineered into it, he fixed it with a couple of dollars worth of copper plating and thermal paste to dissipate the heat from the CPU & ram. For the amount that this camera costs it is ridiculous that Canon didn't engineer it better. fyi stock temps are around 90deg but with the basic internal copper heat sink he added it was down to about 50deg and overheating was no longer a issue.

It depends on your use case. A lot of people can get by with an R6. Some people do require the higher MP sensor. No I don’t own either

[@ChrisJones-rd4wb]

@@jonathanmasters2178 Higher MP is actually a negative for me, as storage space is a precious thing when your on an adventure, and .I prefer small files anyways. The only people that actually need 40MP are either crop-heavy people, or top end studio photographers for big magazines. There's very few times where you'll be printing large enough where you'll be able too tell. My only complaint about the R6 is the short battery life compaired too dslr's. For instance, a d850 can get 1840 shots on a single battery.
