Living with the Canon EOS R: A 6-Month Hands-On Review

[@slrlounge]

Will you be jumping ship? Read the full article here: www.slrlounge.com/canon-eos-r-review/

[@malmedia]

Regarding moving the auto focus point, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3-ngXqsZ9eWj6sm30s, I am not familiar with the Joystick option on other cameras, but does page 270 pt 4 address that option? After clicking the AF Point button, you can use the Main Dial and Quick control dial to move up down left right or the cross keys for finer and seemingly accelerated movements.

[@kwizmon]

Pye, dude! I will be jumping ship from you if you don't turn that lens hood the right way or take it off! Talk about a pet peev... Also, you're my photography hero. Also, turn that lens hood around!!

[@ikusanjay]

Y not consider eos rp than to eos r? They both are almost identical isn't?

[@Training_With_Pepper]

sanjay neelam no they are not. The biggest difference, in my opinion, is the 1/4000 SS in the RP vs the 1/8000 SS in the R.

[@anoophcl]

Anybody facing issue that their is a lag when untake pictures, it freezes for fraction of a second. Seems it is when the camera is saving photo to the memory card. Its like a photo preview for 1/20th of a second. Kindly reply thanks

[@Geroldsibanda]

This is the BEST review of this camera i have seen IMO! REAL world from real photographers who shoot for a living hitting the highlights of what some of us have been waiting for. much appreciated.

[@slrlounge]

Thank you for sharing that! We appreciate you watching the video and glad you enjoyed :)

[@DesertPackrat]

Bought a eos r for $1599, $1k less than 5d iv with same sensor, better processor, WiFi to connect to Cascable to run focus stack and exposure brackets. Has awesome AF especially with firmware 1.4. Touch Bar is fine if you turn off right side touch. Command/control ring is awesome- set to AV. Top buttons are shutter and iso. Color, dynamic range and noise are fantastic. Don’t care about crop 4K. Single SD slot fine when you consider all the other perks. Only downside was the FPS and tracking for fast wildlife. I realized most of my wildlife shots were more stationary and I would rather a full than a crop for low light dynamic range. Stop looking for the perfect camera. This camera is perfect for me.

[@chaitanyakiranh]

Very honest review man.....following....rare to find unbiased reviews now a days

[@damiengrief]

I upgraded to the EOS R from my 80D when the R came out and I love it. I already have a bunch of EF glass I didn't want to replace and the adapter with the control ring is great. I don't have any RF glass yet, but it doesn't matter. I'm getting great shots with it. I don't ever do video so the 4K or not doesn't bug me at all. This is a pure stills camera for me and I'm fine with that. I'd like to see Canon drop the touch fn bar in the future. I don't hate it, but it doesn't add much. But this thing has a 5D IV sensor at a cheaper price and can also use RF glass.

[@baijubasheer2010]

I am using 80D at the moment, still confused which one to upgrade with Mark 4 or R !

[@nuggerboi8278]

I miss watching your videos, your channel taught me all the basics in photography..

[@scotie690]

I have a couple of R since late January for events and landscape. I ditched a 5ds and a 5d4. Since then it grew on me. Even the adapted L lens works better. The overall experience is really great. It's one of those cases when reality beats the spec sheets. The color science, menus, AF, the touch screen are really good. Pye carry on with your great work. Loved your objective review. It's really from someone that used it for real work.

[@seacow2001]

For the nose issue, set the autofocus pad on relative instead of absolute and it will be touch and drag. No more accidental touches.

[@Jwick1518]

Agreed. I hate it when people do reviews but don’t know how to change the internal options.

[@longliveclassicmusic]

I know social media can feel like a black hole we're all typing into, but I have an EOS R coming this week, and you are the first time I've heard of this work-around. All these influencers mention the same problem as he does. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@b.syngkrem6925]

Another features that i like in this camera is that when lenses are taken (unmount) from it there is a 'dust protection' that comes automatically to prevent the sensor

[@TheVFXbyArt]

B. Syngkrem ...not really because if dust enters there, as soon as you mount you lens and turn on the camera, guess where the dust goes...

[@ANDJVisuals]

Your channel is becoming my favorite on camera reviews... Will love a review on that 35mm RF to make me buying it now! Thanks for your videos man!

[@RobertBratuOfficial]

I recently bought the EOS RP and I am really happy with it, but I am having the same problem with the nose moving the focusing point to the very left of the screen. The automatic switch from LCD to the viewfinder is not fast enough.

[@risbill1]

Thanks for the info. Currently have the 6DII. Thinking about getting the EOS R. Very rarely do we shoot video and since fashion and more specifically runway is our main thing to shoot the improved AF would be a huge bonus I think. We get stellar images from the 6DII but the AF is frustrating at times.

[@jenniferjones-oneil657]

I’m late to the conversation. Prices dropped on the R and I almost bought the Mark IV (currently shooting with Mark II) since I recently invested in 2 new EF lenses I will buy the adapter. Will I lose any quality from using EF lenses?

[@photo818]

Great video and appreciate your pros and cons, I’m a 6D shooter and want to make that jump to the EOS R and I think your video has helped in my decision👍🏼

[@chronocross85]

As a guy who also owns a sony A73 I prefer using my EOS R for photography

[@f0t0b0y]

Same shit happened to me when the Mark IV came out. Everyone was shitting on it(mostly Sony keyboard warriors which I’m sure over half of them are hobbyists). When they ran the first $300 off deal I got it and was blown away! Same with the R, most the videos and reviews took a dump on it and I just picked it up on Tuesday with the $400 off instant rebate. I’ve shot 4 Biz Journal shoots with it and it’s basically a mini Mark IV. I could have waited but I wanted to start training my mind on using a mirrorless setup. Either way, I love it and most Canon shooters have waited(as you should to get a proper ROI on the 1DX Mark II and my 5D Mark IV)for Canon to jump into the mirrorless game and their tardiness is quite impressive and worth the wait.

[@onlysublime]

I love my EOS R! The control ring is amazing. It may not be the best at anything but it's a great overall experience and you can produce some truly amazing shots.

[@fernandoguerrero2895]

Regarding color science. Do you get good skin colors when photographing Latin people? I have used Olympus and Sony , I get skin colors to orange or redish. I have to do significant post editing to get pleasant results

[@Nada-Mal]

That was an excellent and objective review. I’ve been with Canon for over a decade now, having had all the 5D series (except the 5D4). Current kit is 5D3 & 5DSR. I skipped the 5D4 as I didn’t see it as enough of an upgrade for my requirements. In 2016 I bought a Fujifilm X100t, which I traded for an X100F last year, and using an EVF convinced me that I should go FF mirrorless. I’ve just ordered the R with 24-105mm, which I bought primarily for the lens as I miss the kit lens I sold with my 5D2 years ago. I am not 100% sure I’ll keep the R, but I can get used to the mirrorless shooting, and when I sell it to get the more pro body out this year or next, I will have a native lens and some experience with FF mirrorless. Anyhoo, thanks for the video, I’m really looking forward to getting the R this coming week.

[@guidolima]

Malcolm King amazing view finder! I find my self reviewing my photos all the time in it. Paired with RF lenses with maginifing zoom to nail focus might be a breeze! Unfortunatly i’m with the ef lenses yet!

[@RippleEffectProductions]

Best review ever made on EOS R. I was about to upgrade my Canon 5D Mark IV which i love the most. Thanks for being straight forward in telling us to wait for the next mirrorless model. Thumbs-up

[@longliveclassicmusic]

Ripple Effect Productions Better watch out. The next one will be at least $3,500. I honestly would wager a guess that it will be in the $3,899 range. I ordered an R on sale Friday, because I know if I wait I will want the Rs that is coming out in February.

[@kullumphoto]

Honestly I had owned 2 5Diii's the EOS R is a great upgrade from the 5Diii! When I had got the EOS R at the release date my EF lenses had perform much better than the 5Diii. My 5Diii was collecting dust so I had eventually selling them. I end up getting the EOS RP as a backup. I currently have the RF 28-70 and the AMAZING RF 85mm 1.2 (which put the EF version to shame) and I have no regrets going back to the DSLRs!

[@SanjayPatel-bb2ze]

Was thinking of jumping from my 6D to this after extensive research on other canon camera’s...fears your opinion compared to the 6D ii or 7D ii?

[@Training_With_Pepper]

I have a 6D. I considered the same as you, but forked our the money on an international 5D MKIV. I just couldn’t justify buying the 6D MKII or 7D MKII because it’s really not that much of an upgrade, other than fps and dual cards in the 7D. That being said, if the EOS R had dual cards and a little better continuous autofocus, I’d dump the 5D MKIV in a heartbeat.

[@davepinsent4202]

What about going from 70d to either the eos r or 90d.

[@TomalBhattacharjee]

For a first full frame body .. 5D IV or EOS R?

[@jonnathanli]

I shoot on a d7000 with a 35mm lens, would I be better off switching to an EOS R?

[@Training_With_Pepper]

It depends on what type of photography you’re into and your budget. There’s so many positives to Canon that people don’t realize, but a lot of people are happy with Nikon or Sony.

[@goldfries]

I'm enjoying the EOS RP very much despite many flaws on it, and I like the RP more than the R

[@MarkLargo]

Is there a huge difference in image quality between the RP over the R?

[@urbanacje4896]

can that crop and framerate from downsides be fixed with software in future?

[@mikldude9376]

It sounds like a hardware problem.

[@huwmorgan51]

I'm curious about your comments on color science for still shooting. Presumably, you're shooting RAW, so the raw conversion is handled by Lightroom (as it is for Nikon and Sony). What you are seeing in terms of color, is determined by the Adobe raw profile, not any color science in the camera. Why would you tout color science as a benefit of this camera?

[@truckernige]

i take jpegs with my r and they look fantastic... it’s a fantastic camera.. end of..

[@32rabara96]

And what about single card slot, does it not bother you?

[@sultanalmudimeegh1001]

I used this camera with the 50 1.2 EF and it is great and low light monster ! Ergonomic are great and you get used to the little shortcomings. The image quality is excellent. The autofocus is dead on accurate and you can shoot running kids easily .

[@johnbonenfant1527]

Is it worth purchasing the EOS R when I currently only the 5D Mark 2?

[@jsasa5668]

EOS R will give you eye-detection auto focus (great one with latest firmware), has dual pixel auto focus, flip screen (better screen), better sensor, more pixels (if that's your thang) and you will be able to use the RF lenses as well as the (imo genius product) drop-in filter adapter. It is lighter, has better processor, and if you do video, it can record externally (if you own a recording monitor like the Atomos) to 4k 30fps. If you can stick to your mk2 for now, save your money and wait for the next EOS Rs (coming next year according to rumors). Given the upgrades on the M6 mkII, I would expect/want that the new EOS R will NOT have 4k crop, 4k 60fps or 120fps in HD, improved fast burst, two camera slots, and hopefully they go back the wheel as opposed to the slider. I would buy that one for sure. But, it all depends on what you do...

[@johnbonenfant1527]

@@jsasa5668 Thank you for your reply. I picked it up today.

[@jsasa5668]

John Bonenfant - Nice, man!! Congrats! I think it’s a no-brainer but I wasn’t going to say that outright. I have the 5D mkIV and I would have bought the R if it wasn’t for the poor fast burst on the R. I still may get it because I have a couple jobs lined up where I may be able to use the external 4K30 and my Atomos Inferno.... I digress. Congrats!!

[@terrydanks]

My EOS R arrives tomorrow morning. My first full-frame digital. Disappointed in the lack of IBIS but decided not to wait. Considered a Sony but using my four EF L lenses with a Franken adapter seems hit and miss with some reviewers saying it's great and other saying it's a poor compromise. And those MC-11 and Metabones adapters are expensive! So, I bought the R knowing both its strengths and its deficiencies. Looking forward to it. I'll be watching in envy when the Canon pro mirrorless is introduced but it will be far out of my price range. Hoping the "R-Mk II" might have IBIS in another year or two.

[@DarkAngel-vs3om]

Terry Danks ignore negative comments about it, many use EOS R for professional use and if it’s your 1st full frame you will be more then impressed I plan to get it soon myself I seen some comparison to Sony Aiii, R had better photos and videos even thou Sony is better on spec paper. You will love it

[@guidolima]

I think touch and drag is one of the best things touch screen can offer. It can be much better than joystick... Now, I agree that it could work better. I was thinking about how good it would work out if the toch area could be set to thirds instead of half. And also, if they worked out a way to make the track by your finger speed. This could be amazing for absolute and relative focus picking modules! Another thing that could be done in the touch and drag, is to “aquire focus when you lift your finger”. That way you dont have to press any other button to aquire the selected focus. I also wish the R got a focus bracketing like the RP, and an intervalometer for stills (not only the timelapse movie option)...

Title is a bit misleading unless you think all your viewers are pros making money in photography. Yeah, I agree with you that you shouldn't buy EOS R to replaced your 5D4 or even 5D3 for still shooting as the primary camera. It won't improve your work much unless you want those crazy good RF lenses not to mention the 2nd card slot. But for a backup camera or for general usage canon shooter, it's a very good choice especially the price has dropped to below $1800 if you look for it. Of course you can always wait for the greatest and latest, if you don't need a camera now.

[@rayal6324]

new pro level eos r + 2 rf lenses = 10k. Go for Sony

[@Achievly]

Now's the best time to shoot canon. Everyones jumping ship for mirrorless and you can pick up used EF glass for just a fraction of the price! Then once a pro model of the R comes out I'll likely upgrade from my 5D Mark IV and use the canon adaptor with my EF lens collection :D But I want full-frame 4K, at least 1080 120 slo-mo plus eye detection that rivals Sony :D Otherwise, I still see a solid 10 years use out of my 5D Mark IV.

You forgot to mention an important feature of 4K video that 1080p will never give: if you shoot in 4K, and output a 1080p master, you wil be able to crop A LOT inside the frame and still have perfect image quality. This is very important in weddings, when you don't have full control over the scene, and you may want later to crop out some disturbing elements, or, simply, you don't have a second video shooter and you want to be able to crop in and make tight shots to use as B-Roll.

[@xnet3]

Way too expensive for what it's specially the lenses. It's now obvious that taking photos is not as lucrative as selling or promoting photography equipment. The only way I will upgrade to mirrorless is if I'm shooting editorial so you get what you see and never missing on exposure but if not there's no real advantage. Upgrading to RF lenses without knowing if the next 1dx mirrorless will used them is a huge risk in terms of resale value I am not willing to take. If you've the extra cash and love buying equipment go for it. My advice for all amateur photographers out-there pick a 6d mark II w a 35mm lens and master composition and lighting once you become great and famous Canon will give them to you for free is not the camera. It's like asking Hemingway what type of pencil did he used.

I've had the R for 6 months, upgraded from my 5D3 and as I professional stills photographer selling prints for almost 20 years now, image quality is what I care most about and the R sensor is better, what's more I love mirrorless experience and would still pick the R over the 5D4 given the difference with shooting experience. P.S. with the images you showed off taken on the R and all the pros you mentioned, you could of just as easily titled your video, buy the EOS R!

I currently am using a 5DMKII.. I reaaally want an upgrade and would like to be in the modern times with mirrorless for what it looks like canon will be bringing to the table by how awesome these new lenses are. I've seen great sales on the EOSR bringing the price under $2k and with a control ring adapter I can still use my non rf canon glass until I can afford that crazy new glass. Main Reasons I want to upgrade: Better autofocus system, higher resolution, more video features, better low light, return to SD cards, more overall functionality in the systems and options within the camera. I think the EOS R would be a great upgrade that I won't be sacrificing anything and will be getting a solid body to start myself in mirrorless.

Anybody that dogs this camera because of video specs can not be taken seriously in any aspect of life! Its a PHOTO camera 1st(as stated in the press release). If people read just a little before commenting, KZbin videos like this would never exist

Love my R! Here’s the latest rumor... Canon looking at putting the second card slot in the battery grips. Interesting idea. We’ll see if it’s true.

[@GiacomoZonco]

Steve M if they do it, I would buy for serious works!

LOL re the nose challenge! I'm left-eyed, but my nose seems to be of such a size that it's not been a challenge. My glasses also keep my face a bit further back, but the EVF cup design makes that not an issue. I guess the design is "nosist"! :-)

[@dbc97610]

Left-eyed here too. I'm fine with changing focus points in landscape, but I haven't figured a way to do it in portrait mode without my nose making all of the decisions. Perfect, button nose, by the way... Anybody have any practical advice other than sticking with my 5DIII?

[@speecher1959]

@@dbc97610 I use Bottom-Right-Relative, so even with my glasses off, there's no nose inadvertent nose intrusion. :-)

I think second list supposed to have labelled as cons.

[@gbl4261]

use your nose to move the focus point :D haha.

[@TheVFXbyArt]

Stop being such a nose-ist!

I miss the Canon colours but for colour accuracy Sony is more accurate though not more pleasing.

[@sohamroy9766]

The EOS R is my first full frame camera and I'm loving it. Looking through the optical viewfinder of my T5i kills me now! 😂

[@joshblck1]

I actually LOVE the on screen joystick, for me its way faster than a physical stick.

[@ToddBaughPhoto]

You can actually get a camera profile for Lightroom that will make lightroom "decode" the Sony A7iii and A7Riii files to look just like Canon (or very, very close). My company is a mixture of Canon and Sony users and it helps tremendously....so the main reason of color science can be resolved if you really wanna go Sony. And, the camera profile is free.

Great video..........Canon makes good cameras but a 4 year old D810 is better than anything canon makes as far as image quality and especially dynamic range .

[@slrlounge]

Thanks for watching!

[@williamblackwell9558]

@@slrlounge I would definitely take the EOS-R above any micro 4/3's camera and even crop sensor cameras except for the D500 of course .

[@MatthewSaville]

The D810 may offer amazing dynamic range, and I'd certainly prefer it for serious landscape work, but to continue the analogy started by this video, sometimes it's like buying a car with a top speed of 200 MPH when you don't even plan to ever crack 100 MPH, or a house with 10 rooms when you only plan on having 1-2 kids. In other words, if what you've got to work with is more than enough, then having more stops being as relevant as having a system that suits you best in other ways, such as the lens options or overall ergonomics etc...

[@TheVFXbyArt]

11:45 Fast forward 6 months, a ton if videos if sony users jumping ship to canon! Nothing against sony guys, just these absolute statements made by these video guys.

[@joseduran9232]

IBIS, HD 120 fps, better eye AF at the same price? The Sony A7III/A7RIII left Canonland deserted.
