The Canon R5 for Photography| One of the best cameras I've ever used!

I'm what you call a Sony "fanboy". However the R5/R6 are fantastic. I applaud Canon for stepping their game up.

[@Ahmedpakido]

You're right he just some how funds a way to make canon look bad compared to sony. Thats what fanboy does

[@RolandAyala]

Agreed, the R5 is a fantastic camera. Crazy to hear about people canceling their pre-orders because they let themselves be influenced by a few KZbinrs who think the R5 is a cinecam (or really expensive blogging camera). But for the intended audience -- photographers and hybrid shooters -- there's very little to find fault with and it's great to see Canon back in the game. The lens options are second to none -- with the new RF glass or well-adapted EF, and for those who do shoot occasional video (b roll, not small films), it's often overlooked that the R5 is one of the few cameras to offer internal raw recording, which is great for grading.

Sahan Weerakoon me too

[@kevindiaz3459]

From a purely technical spec range, I think the Sony can push 15 stops and Canon is more like 14. Really, anything over 13 is going to get it done for almost all shooting in a practical sense. Canon was around 12 before the 80D, which was 13, and after the 90D/M6mkII they look to be more like 14. So I think from a purely technical spec, it's still Sony, but from a practical sense, it likely no longer matters.

[@77dris]

Sony already lost.... Photons To Photos Net tests all cameras out and the R5 is now the full frame champ, beating all the Sonys and Nikons. The R5 ties the Fuji Medium Format at ISO 100!

The 5DIV is about 13.9 stops using DXO terms, and the R5 is about 1 to 1.5 stops more than the 5DIV.

[@AntivistX]

I was tempted to switch from my a7iii to the R5 but I have a feeling Sony will up the standards in the next year to compete with canon, I’m excited to see how Sony responds to this camera.

[@nsjong]

R5 looks fantastic as a photography-only camera. It was rumored that Sony purposely delayed releases (the A7Siii for almost 2 years?) so they'll probably unload some new upgrades on their next rendition. Regardless, it's always a win for consumers when the brands race to outdo the competition.

[@theidahohuskies]

Hi keep up the great work I am just getting into photography and I bought a Canon SL2 and it came with the kit len and I picked up a 50mm which I love, but I am looking for a 200mm. I got a price for a 70-300mm F-4-5.6 IS II USM for $619.00 before taxes, but can you recommend a 50-200mm or some where around there at a F 2.8 that will not break the bank?

[@Revan89]

Awesome to hear your views, Manny. How was battery life, tho? Other wedding photographers I respect a lot say it only last for 250 pictures per battery. To make it even worse, the battery indicator goes from 25% to 0%, so you never know when it's going to run out. That's a deal breaker for event photography. Did you experience something like that?

[@kevindiaz3459]

The AF system is the majority of the reason I want the R5 and R6. I use cameras like this for portraits and events. Currently on the 5DmkIV. Have to do a lot of focus and recompose, even on the outermost parts of the AF grid. The movement of the camera, yourself, and your subject, can all mean the difference between getting a nailed focus at a thin DOF or a slight miss. With this, it's just compose and shoot. That freedom is uncanny, and something future gens of shooters will never even know about, lol. I can't wait to get mine, but like so many others I am stuck on the list...

[@krishnastock]

Thanks for this Manny! I'm a Sony shooter but the R5 is calling my name! LOL! I've pre-ordered the Sony a7Siii for video, so realistically the R6 is more doable! Please compare the two (R5 vs R6) strictly for photography!

But my pins got bent on my last big shoot changing cards quickly and I had to fall back to my T3i a NO-GO.. Not knowing when the dang R5 will be shipping out is worst than the overheating... So I picked up a R6 and it will be my main until the R5 becomes more available.. I just wished I could have held out... Probably will be my Christmas gift or in my hands for new years.

[@philindeblanc]

What does "switch" mean? You stop shooting one brand entirely for another. Why would anyone who has multiple systems do that? For sponsor money. Otherwise they would use the systems they have. I use the SOny in studio or for large file reason. Big budget studio I use the Phaseone(collecting dust). But for field work events, I keep that as my 3rd camera as the Canons I use are MUCH better in the field. And for video, video shooters will have their preference. While companies try, its not often they create a "Jack of all" tool. Now the pro is expected often to be the Jack of all, using specific tools. Hence the "content creator" being video and stills, and story writing in some instances, etc, etc. Have always enjoyed Manny's videos, and tips, and look forward to more.

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@RayValdezPhotography How so? its the photographer not the gear. You shoot on canon, and manny shoots sony and has for most of his recent career.

Only one small difference, Sony A7RIII is half the price of Canon R5!

[@77dris]

And it shows.

[@philindeblanc]

YEs, and the R5 will not have mount slop, no electronic issues, will retain info when battery dies, can work the menus when recording files, will not have shutter issues, will read cards without a error, has a much more robust tethering cable connections, besides the ergo, and build quality, has better screen, and there is SRL like snap with zero lag as it LOCKS consistently. How about the no focus ring on some lenses, or other manual overrides? That is huge. But...I too think the R5 was overpriced. They should have given the 8K video power to the R6, raised that price and lowered the R5 and they would have sold more of each. One of my biggest grips on Sony is the lens release button as it is so close to where my fingers rest, I have to be aware not to press it. Also dislike the menu system..Lets not forget that...OH, a MAJOR issue I have with my Sony is the DUST!!! Canon even before with SLR, or the R5 dust cover, they HARDLY get dust on sensor.

For photography, would u choose the R5 or R6. Thats my question. Is the dynamic range on the R6 able to do that?

[@sasca854]

The R6 is thought to use the same sensor as the 1DX III, which is Canon's flagship DSLR. Results from the R6 (even the colors) look _extremely_ similar to the 1DXIII, so I do believe they are sharing the same sensor. Since there aren't many R6 reviews up yet, I'd recommend watching some 1DXIII reviews and seeing if the dynamic range is to your liking, because that information will almost certainly be extensible to the R6 as well.

Is the touch screen and focus better or at least comparable? Would you today have gotten that camera, as opposed to your Sonys?
