Canon R5 Review - Hybrid Shooter User Experience

My review and thoughts about the Canon R5 as a Hybrid shooter. Shoot weddings along with social media content and video production work makes this camera an amazing tool with some shortfalls if you are not ready in the backend. Thanks for watching.

    I feel like this camera has a lot of features packed in for a lot of people. Are you planning to pick up the canon R5 as a hybrid shooter, photographer or videographer?

    Great video! It's good you talked about how people had bashed this camera but it is still an amazing photography camera and great video camera as well. If people are bashing the camera then they are not using the correct gear. I had the R6 and switched over to the R5. LOVED the R6 but with my architecture photography I needed the 45mp.

    SUPERB STILL CAMERA. I just started with video and had no issue (I live in Asia, hot hot and humid) with overheating so far. Button customization and ergo is always good. To be honest, the ONLY CONS of this camera for me is the expensive RF lenses. The Samnyang 85mm RF 1.4 is an option but I wish SIGMA comes out with the ART line for RF. Regarding the EVF, to be honest, I strongly believe now that it is all gimmicks, doesn't matter what brand you use... it is good but it eats lotsa battery power, ended up in just normal mode instead of the high performance mode.

    Yea,,, I realized that leaving it in hi-performance mode eats 🔋 like no tomorrow. Probably will only reserve it for faster-ish action. Still very good and better than the EOS R even in regular mode. Congrats on the camera. What a machine. You should checkout my other video if you are a hybrid, I ran into an issue with C3 custom mode shooting stills.

    3 жыл бұрын

    All controlled by software/timer on the camera from what I’ve read and learned. If you are shooting stills and switch to video it will give you a timer depending on how long or how the thermal reader sees the camera. So it really depends.

    The only thing to watch for is the E6N batteries won’t hit the fast frame rate the R5 has for that you need the NH batteries but I personally still use a lot of my older E6N batteries with my R5/E6 with no issues. I rarely need 20fps. 😂

    Non scientific but you’ll be looking at 300-500 shots. The key is if you are on high refresh rate on the EVF. 60hz more shots 120hz way less shots. I learned that 60hz is fine for more photography work. For faster panning work 120hz would be great but less shots.

    I would say it be close to that maybe 425+ to be safe. Really depends on how you shoot. It is less than dslr compared to say my 5D4 but pretty good for mirrorless. Also the EVF eats more battery vs the LCD.
