My wife shoots with a 5D4 and I shoot with an EOS-R. When we shoot video/film together, the resulting footage is close enough to not require much post-processing to make them match under most circumstances. So I think the assessment in this video is spot-on. We've been really happy overall with the quality we've been getting with this combo, and our clients have been happy, too. We're actually even considering adding another EOS-R or RP.

I was going to do the same. I went with the 90D instead for a variety of reasons, one being diversity of capabilities. The RP doesn't have 30p in 4K, which sealed its fate. 24p looks janky on KZread, which is where a lot of work ends up.

You all compared these so well!!!! I’m a photographer first and videographer second. I love how you mentioned that. I was looking into getting a back up cam for video and photography here and there.

I've been waiting for such video for a long time, its finally this one, and it's well detailed. Thanks.

There's a difference.. The Eos R has a little more dynamic range and the image has a bit more contrast. The Eos R looked best.

Possibly better digital filtering but if, and that’s a question, the R has more dynamic range it is likely due to improvements in the power supply logic to reduce noise. If they introduced a mark V I would expect a little better performance due to refinement of design, improvements to PCB layout, etc...

Awesome vid, Parker! Love to see your team is growing! Best of luck! 💪

The EOS R & 5D mkiv are my two main cameras for photo wedding photography and videography. I've really enjoyed them for what they can do and what they offer. I love all cameras but with as much investment in Canon gear it made more sense for me to get the EOS R instead of switching to Sony.

The EOS R is a great camera. Bought it and tried it for a week, fell in love with it, sold my Fuji XT-3 with lenses and kept the EOS R system. I can't be more happy with that decision!!!

and theres me wondering whats better, im thinking about xt3 and canon rp. I do mostly photos and sometimes videos with gimbal. What would u suggest? :)

EOS R's digital image stabilization gave it away in the comparison between the A and the B shots. I spotted the difference pretty much right away.

That's the video I needed!! THANK YOU!!

I have both... I’ve had my “R” for two years now. And loved it from day one. And still do. The 4K crop is not a problem step back, or use a wider lens if it’s a problem.... I always offer 4K. But most clients go for 1080. Do that’s good enough.

I just bought an EOS-R after having too many error messages/repairs on my 5D Mark IV and this video helped solidify I made the right decision. Thanks for this comparison video

Watched from start to finish (something I rarely do for reviews nowadays) straight up information. Exactly what I wanted. I been thinking about upgrading my sl2 to the eos r. We will see at the end of the year. Subbed great video

Thank you for putting time and creative editing to create this video! The comparison was AMAZING & very INSIGHTFUL!!

This is by far the best video to convince someone to make the jump from DSLR to mirrorless, as long as you like Canon. thanks

Hey! Prob the best review I've seen on EOS R. Fantastic job as always!

Fantastic side by side comparison, one of the best I've seen so far.

I'd love to see a side by side EOS R vs 90D comparison! They seem to be pretty well matched as far as specs with the 90D actually doing a bit better with 120fps FHD, but I'm not sure how the video out of them would compare.

Thanks for sharing and as always - Great video! -- Keep up the awesome work folks!

Awesome as usual , Top THX Parker Walbeck and team.

Always look forward to your videos. Great job.

thanks for this video, was really curious about this comparison

Exactly the comparison I was looking for !!

Dang, perfect timing for this video. As a corporate DP I've been trying to decide whether to replace the 5d MkIV as our gimbal camera. Thanks for the awesome video, now I made my decision :D Also, just a note, the MkIV CAN come with C-log in the camera, but you have to pay $100 more upfront for it to come with it stock. So that at least eliminates the need to send it to Canon and pay that $100 fee after getting it.

@@DeltAaronlines For a small studio setting, I like flying the 5D due to it's dual pixel AF and ease of use compared to flying say a C300 MkII on a Movi Pro with an easy rig. There are tons of different types of corporate DP's btw. We're not a huge production company that's using multiple AC's. Typically it's me and my junior videographer so I'll be the one with the movi or Ronin and the camera mounted. The work I do is mainly testimonials, and educational content so we're not talking action shots that require a focus puller/AC to help me out. And obviously the 5D and/or EOS R aren't my studio cameras. They're just for any type of parallax motion or quick motion that I want to supplement with our studio cameras when I don't want a slider shot.

The EOS R is great for video. Although I rented 2 for a few video projects. One of the cameras corrupted part of a video clip that crashed premiere. I had to isolate the section in the clip, and export out pieces of the clip avoiding the problem area, and reimporting as pieces. Probably just a fluke. Other than that, the size and quality/settings options was impressive. I use 1DX2, 5D4, C100's all the time.

That was a solid review. I came to check this out because B&H is selling the R for $1499 and the Mk IV for $1999 as of December 17, 2020. And they are giving a free EF lens adapter for the R. Even though they are coming out with a new camera in 2020, this will be a nice inexpensive upgrade to my Mk III.

I'm still rocking my 5D Mark IV's. I've learned this little trick of slightly underexposing on the 5D4 so as to not blowout the highlights and then lift shadows in post and I get a really good image if I do not use C-Log. I shoot 50% Photography & 50% Video, which is why I bought the 5D4 shortly after it was announced.

Hey Parker! Great video and amazing timing as I’m in the process of trying to figure out my next camera. I’m leaning towards the EOS R and was wondering what lens the guys used for the demo footage? I mainly use video for training tutorials videos and interviews. Would love to hear your suggestion.

I had the BMPCC6K in the cart and a close sales contact knew my needs and really suggested I look at the EOS R + Ninja V combo, as I need really fast turn-around. It beats out all of my cameras for video, and can hold its own with stills against my 5DSR (because of the manual focus aides). Love it. I do not however expect 1 camera to serve every purpose. My company does have just a few cameras (Pano GH5s, Canon 5DSR, Canon 90D, Sony PXW-Z150). I'd still pick the EOS R if I could only keep one though. It's too strong in so many areas. It's the image that counts, not the specs to me.

Great video, guys. Thank you!

Great video! Thank you. It's a bit more money but now understand that the EOS R has everything I need. Thanks guy! )))

I like a big and heavy camera, so I bought the 5D

Wow great review! Thanks! 👍

I tried a demo of the R with the Canon Rep in Burbank and it failed twice on me.. Not surprised the price dropped so quick compared to the mark IV.. It's still holding some value even in a field of new cameras.. I'm glad I held out on the R...I think what they have coming now will be worth the price..I never jump on the first version of anything so they can workout the kinks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 5D MkIV can only dual record photos and not video. At least I haven't been able to figure out how to dual record video on mine yet.

Smede Lightworks For me, there are stacks of shots from the 5D4 that are plain unusable because of the noisy LOG. I never run into that with the EOS R, not to mention the added features of focus peaking and focus assist. The are both similar cameras, but the EOS R is def. refined.

Have been waiting to hear Parkers opinion on this!

thanks for an amazing video guys, best on youtube .

For handheld, the heavier camera will smooth out microjitters because it has a bigger center of mass. So compared to the imperfect digital IS, I'd give that one a tie, but yeah, the EOS R is a lot better value overall. It's also worth mentioning the dual card on the 5D4 will only record reduntant photos, but will only record video to one card.

Man this video came at the perfect time.. I was literally going to start looking at comparisons today! Already have the 5D and was curious if it’s worth it to “upgrade” right now. Thanks!

Hi Parker, thanks for this video. I am a beginner, but your advice helped me. 🙏 I will buy the Canon eos R.

Good review. I agree the EOS R is a better film camera. 5D4 is better for stills if speed is what you need, but I use 17MP anyways, so I'm not sure how that effects the buffer/fps. Impressed with the performance of the EOS R.

Does it crop the image as well when you use RF to EF adaptor on EOS R?

great video, it's so cool the competition, i have a canon 5d Mark IV

Brilliant! Thank you. Very helpful. Sounds like I should have gone with the EOS R over the MkIV which I purchased in November...

Really love your tutorial as beginning

It would be great to see a comparison between all canon cine cameras. Your videos are extremly helpfull!

I've been using a Sony Nex-c3 since 2012 as my main camera. Filmaking has been most of al a hobby for me, but mow I'm starting to do some professional gigs and I certainly need an upgrade. Then again, I'm not able to invest near 2000 USD on a camera like the a7s II so... beside the Sony a6400, what are my choices? What about a comparison between the Sony a6400 and a Canon equivalent... If I'm in one ecosystem (like Sony), it jumping to the other (like Canon) worthy? What are the options in an upgrade path to a more professional gear? Thannks!

Hey great video! What picture profile did you use for the footage? C-Log or Neutral?

So one big question I have after watching this video is can you dual record with the EOS R if you use an external recorder like the Ninja V? In other words, can you record to the internal sd card and record to the Ninja V at the same time giving you dual recording capabilities?

Can you also make a comparison between Mirrorless & Full-frame EOS R and DSLR & Crop-Sensor EOS 90D? Which one is better for a beginner Photographer and Film Maker?

Not sure how you guys got such a big difference in dynamic range between the 2 cameras. Processing maybe? Testing has shown they have roughly the same DR.

What about a video explaining how you edit, what external hard drive to use while editing how to connected, how to use it, what other hard drive just for backing up for files or how? How you edit with proxies and export the video to its original size? That would be a cool video....

I'm a photographer first, but quick question... Great vid... Don't video guys need dual cards as well?

nice comparison!!! thanks

You also forgot another really big benefit over SLR’s, is the fact that all auto focus is done by the imager which means that you will never ever have to have it calibrated like you do with SLRs cross type etc off-imager sensors.
