Thank you! Pleased to be of some help! I’m actually out right now filming my first YT video in ages and your lovely comment just gave me a bit of encouragement to keep pressing on so thanks for that! All the best. RR

I'm indeed grateful, I recently acquired 5D M3 AND I have struggled to set my camera, but it's now all solved courtesy of you Sir.

With the Peak Design Strap, I also use their Capture Clip on my belt (works great with the Z-Finder attached). Best of both worlds. I'm always lugging around the 5D IV for hours on end through the woods, crossing streams, under waterfalls, you name it. At age 69 it really helps with the back and keeps the gear secure.

I’ve just ordered a “like new” 5D mark iii so watching your video in anticipation. I mainly do bird photography so mapping the one shot/ai servo to the DOF preview button looks like a must have! Thanks!

Canon user here as well. Beautiful colors every time. I finally bought this dream camera for myself and my clients....totally worth the wait. Coupled with my Canon 70-200mm 2.8L USM....I am overly excited to spend many years with this camera. As a concert photographer, I imagine the mirrorless would make my life so much easier, but, I do love a great challenge. I have zero complaints about this camera, and neither do my clients with their photos. I have no plans to upgrade my setup, until this camera dies. I LOVE IT!

I could speak to so many things in this video, but I'll keep it short: I LOVE Peak Design's system! I have the red discs attached to every camera I own, so I can use the same strap on whatever camera I am using for the day. You can even buy just the anchors and put them on any other strap you like. I shot a wedding with the 5D Mark III and a 24-105 lens with a Peak Design strap, and I never felt like the anchors weren't substantial enough. I've also carried the same camera/lens while hiking through the woods MANY times, and never had a worry about the strap and anchors. Their products are VERY high quality. I came from the film days, so I like to keep it simple, but I do use a few of the auto functions. I figure that the camera manufacturers spend a LOT of time and money on R&D, and I have found that the metering systems are amazing. I generally set my cameras to aperture priority, because aperture is the setting I am most concerned about. Sometimes I will set the ISO, but I mostly leave it on auto. And even though this camera has a million auto focus points, I usually only use the single center point. Again, thanks for the videos!

I recently bought a used 5D Mark iii and based my decision on watching videos like yours, so thank you! I am a newbie and do learn best visually however, so this video isn't really helping as I need to SEE how you are going about setting it up within the camera menus et al. I am still trying to figure out how to use this camera in a way that best utilizes what it has to offer for both photography and video. I am currently in college for Multimedia Communications and just did a video production course and struggled mightily throughout most of the quarter because I couldn't get the dang camera to AF correctly or consistently- I researched so many different channels trying to figure out my issues and find the settings that I needed, discovered that many of the camera settings the previous owner had used were the opposite of what I needed, but indeed learned a ton in the process, just wish it hadn't been so stressful. In any case, I appreciate your continued love of this camera and will look into more of your videos to see if you have some that can help me understand it better all the way around. The built-in mic is extremely noisy but had to use it for class last quarter and do my best to fix the sound in PPro later as I couldn't get my new lav mic kit to work with it, think the mic kit is faulty (sure of it because it didn't work with my Iphone either) and wondering if you can suggest a budget-friendly mic kit that works well with this camera. Sorry so verbose, thanks again! Cat-

Thanks so much Roy. I have the R5 and R6 and while I enjoy them both, I miss my 5D Mark III and several of my EF lenses. They were terrific! Sure, the R5 and R6 give you more keepers, but there’s nothing about my photos from the DSLR that are that much, if any worse, than the mirrorless cameras. Sorry that I ever sold the 5D and bought into mirrorless. I’m a hobbyist so the mirrorless cameras have way more bells and whistles than I need

Great comment! Thank You 🙏 I wonder how many oeople feel the same after making the mirrorless switch. It’s taken me about 6 months of everyday use to get comfortable with the R5. Still when I pick up the 5d3 it feels more comfortable and more familiar than any mirrorless camera.. For me it’s all about using the right tool for the job and the focussing improvements alone on the R5 make it a great tool. Good luck with your photography and remember it’s all a journey, enjoy what you currently have, while you have it and adjust accordingly further down the line.. best wishes. Roy

So after some research I found a great strap from OP/TECH USA and as they're made of Neoprene holds the weight but no neck ache and easy to detach from camera when mounted on tripod so no blocking viewfinder. The best part it won't break the bank either. Keep the content coming as I find it very informative.

It's a tank and the images are amazing. I certainly prefer it with certain lenses, and I enjoy using the old "focus/recompose" method of how I learned rather than relying on my R6's incredible tracking AF (which is necessary for some things, but sometimes it's too easy, and therefore not as rewarding, creatively) Great vid, as usual.

The 5DIII is a rock-solid camera. It is my camera of choice when I am asked to do an 'event capture.' I will probably take more than 500 photos at one of those events. I might be inside and/or outside. I might be close to people or far away trying to get candid shots. I like it because the AF will be 'spot on' and as it is FF, my photos will have that distinctive look. It never fails me in those situations.

I will be getting another 5D Mark iii at some point. Love my R6, but it lacks that pastel quality that this camera faithfully produced when dealing with many colors.

Hi Roy, one of the issues I came across with my Mkiii is inconsistent WB. Not sure why, never experienced it with my Mki or any other camera. Updated firmware and reset setting, etc. Anyway, may be useful to someone to know about setting Kelvin using the quick "Q" menu and setting with the wheelie dealie. Or setting WB shift. I shoot in RAW+JPG and really like the photos straight from camera, so this may not affect everyone. For me it was huge to find a workaround. I bought an a7iii but still can't come to part with my Canons. I'd put the inages from the 5d Mkiii with the 100mm f1.8 up against anything and be happy. Fantastic cameras and a completely different feel (at least to me) that mirrorless can't quite capture, although all cameras seem to be amazing these days. Anyway, cheers mate.

Interesting thoughts.. I shoot RAW and dick about with the WB in post so can’t comment too much but always thought the mk3 was fantastic on the WB score.

I have a love hate relationship with camera straps. With wildlife being my main interest I am often set up in hides or on tripods and in that situation a strap of any kind is most definitely a pain in the arse. However, there are other subjects and situations where I need to hang a camera from a strap and that is why I have moved over to the Peak Design straps. Being able to unclip the strap easily and quickly is a definite benefit. The little button attachments remain fixed to bodies and lenses where appropriate and a strap can be quickly attached when required. I was initially sceptical about these button fixings but I have to say that I have not had any problems with them to date and hopefully never will. They are constructed in such a way that if they should become worn a different colour shows through and thus warns you to change it. The straps themselves are very easily and smoothly adjusted which is great at a concert or sports event where I may want to have two cameras hanging at different levels. Apologies for long winded comment on a strap, something I would never have expected to do 🙄.

Hi, try ThinkTank straps if you're looking for a grippy strap (no horrid logos either, my total pet hate!). I used many of your settings on my Canon dslrs, though I've been keen on autoISO for a long time, and Program mode too (I don't care what the others say...!). The R5 took me months to set up as I like, so many options. So I'll wait for your R5 settings video to see if I've missed anything!

Cheers Andrew! I do not know why I have not tried Thinktank straps.. I use loads of their gear and it’s always been very good. In particular I have the airport roller which has covered a fair few miles but still works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.. The R5 setting video will be an absolute monster!

I use the slide. The premium, not the lite. It’s great Roy. A bit bulky compared to the original strap. But it so easy to use, comfortable and versatile… Really. With the clips it becomes interchangeable, can use the same strap with every camera easy… And it is strong, seems like a seatbelt…😊 haven’t tried anging my one weight! 😂 Here in Portugal cost 60€. Hood to see you back Roy! KRegards

Hi Roy, Very informative as usual. Always been a Canon fan - currently using a Classic 5d, Mk 3 and a Mk 4. Quick question regarding the dual card slots on the Mk 3 & Mk 4 what raw setting are you particularly using ? Cheers Tony

@RoyRiley

Жыл бұрын

I just use plain old RAW on both cards. I’m not a fan of any of the compact or smaller RAW options. I just want as much data as possible. Often people will use one card for RAW and the other to catch JPEGs which I guess makes sense for some uses.

Love ideo

My canon 5d mark 2 stopped focusing right, and also 4 days before a event i had to shoot. It really broke me as i got it as a gift. Im borrowing a canon 5d mark 3 and Im crossing my fingers on figuring it out before the event.

My 70-200 focas not proper settings delite by me in 5d mark III plz suggest

Great blog, what is the max size of memory I can use?

Please I have an issue with my canon 5D mark iii when shooting pictures or videos what you see on the LCD screen is different from the final results you copy to your pc please why

3:00 strap 4:20 settings 4:45 adjust back Aperture/ Manuel mode: shutter speed of 125th of a second; then build exposure ISO: don’t use auto, he starts at 400 Motor drive: single shot (soft) Matrix metering; gets Histogram, screen White balance (keep it on auto) 8:35 Menu

Today I have and use a Canon 5D Mark iii as my main camera besides my iPhone. I use auto ISO 100-400. I shoot in manual mode. I don't shoot RAW rather I choose to shoot my photos in JPEG. I don't do any post editing so much to my photos. I mainly shoot flower n foliage photos. And some times buildings and clouds. Before I upgraded to the Canon 5D Mark iii, I used a Canon 5D Mark ii. I loved that camera. But I love the 5D Mark iii even more than the 5D Mark ii. In my experience the 5D Mark iii more intuitive to use as compared to the 5D Mark ii. The auto focus is way better on the 5D Mark iii as compared to the 5D Mark ii. Both the Cannon 5D Mark ii and 5D Mark iii take equally good photos in my opinion. The Canon 5D Mark ii only has one Compact Flash card slot in it. But the Canon 5D Mark iii has two card slots-Compact Flash, and SD card. I only use an SD card in my 5D Mark iii for convenience as my iMac has a SD card slot reader built in. Thus I don't need to use an external USB card reader to transfer my photos to my iMac.

Influencer "R6MKII review videos" are flooding my YT page now. So refreshing to see someone talking about how they have used same camera for years! Got my 5D MKII dirt cheap few years back. Still shooting with it and I am really happy with quality of pictures it produces. Is AF system way better on MKIII compared to MKII? There are more AF points but is it better?

@RoyRiley

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the support! In my opinion Slightly better AF on the mk3 over the mk2. It’s certainly not a huge step up though and good technical skill from the user is by far the most important factor. Low light AF is a bit better and the overall speed and accuracy slightly improved but we are talking maybe 20% better rather than night and day.. my honest opinion.. stick with the Mk2 and make the very absolute best of it!

I'm a total beginner at serious photography. I've been shooting video for a few year, for my church livestream and decided to go into still photography, as well. I've borrowed this camera. It's not really a good beginner camera, is it? I'm looking for a camera that's more suited to someone at my skill level. How would the Canon Rebel T7 or something else be as a starter camera? I'm really interested in pursuing this as a hobby and maybe a bit more down the line. Thanks for any tips. Great video. I'll watch it again; it's really helped in understanding the menu settings.

I am purchasing one with an Aquatica housing and a 9.25 inch glass. 4:52 dome port with a sigma 12 to 24 and a cannon 24 to 105 lens. 2500 I consider fair as the 9.25 glass dome port retails for 1800 plus. I have strobes but am probably switching to high power video lights for HDR. He had it with strobes for 3500 but I should be good. This while not new is a step up from my Nikon D200 and D7000. I was wondering if you can program auto continuous long exposures. My buddy has been doing them with Fuji x1 and x2 but his D5 Mark Ii doesn't support it when he is doing light painting

Greetings! I purchased a used 5DMarkiii. It's a love/hate relationship. When I put a battery in the camera, and use it, the battery is fine, otherwise, it zaps the battery. Like the next day, it's dead. I don't feel safe to use the camera for a wedding. Checked filmware and said it was up to date. Any suggestions, Roy? I need to work with the settings to - works great for a car show, but not for movement. My 70D shoots better in low light situations where i can't get the other to register.

Interesting you talking about straps. I’ll sell you my old “EOS digital” strap from my 1Ds mkII if you want, it’s a lot more “weathered” than your 5D3 strap. 😉 Serious mode, I’m using a blackrapid sling because it’s super low key, works lovely under a long jacket and can conceal even a bulky fast 85 or 70-200 anchored off the collar because of the sling system it’s super fast to bring the camera up. I’ve heard good things about the Magpul MS4 which is designed to support rifles in a combat situation, but judging by your accent you’re also uk based so getting gun gear is probably quite hard.

Hey Roy, I've got a few question, a while ago, i baught a 5D Mark II, your video and the idea of it's history made me pulll the trigger for it, and now, i'm debating between upgrading my 50mm 1.4 from canon to a sigma 50mm 1.4 art, My question is.... What would you suggest? 5D3 or keep the 5d2 and upgrade lens? As reference, i am a boudoir photographer and most of my shots are shot in manual focus, Since i got the 5d2 i took over 350k shots on it, hahaha, my workhorse for a couple of years already :D

Hi Jeffery. This come down to budget and requirement. 5d4 is the best but all the other cameras you mention are all very very capable. Bang for bucks the best value will probably be 5d3. 6d Mk1 is showing its age but still very capable. 6d2 I have not shot with so cannot comment. I think the truth here is that all of these cameras are very very good. With decent lenses, good technique and a creative eye they are all capable of producing amazing photographs in nearly any circumstance. If in doubt just stick with what you have and focus on getting the very best from it. Hope this helps. Roy
