Thank you! This is the most helpful and unbiased comparison I have viewed. I am not a bird photographerr. Mostly landscapes, low-light performances, and street photography. Since 45 MP for cropping was not a key need, I bought the R6 even tho’ I could afford the R5. I prefer the dial, dual SDs, smaller file size, and didn’t notice the EVF difference. I rarely crop much or need to print more than 16x24 inch. But it is good to see your upsampling comparison, to know that occasionally cropping significantly or printing bigger is possible!

Love your reviews, which are among the best and most fair for wildlife photographers. I chose the R5 (with battery grip) to replace both a FF (1DX mk ii) and a crop (7D mk ii) so I don't have to switch bodies so often in the field. I think it was the right decision for me and the R5 is amazing. I have sold the 7D mk ii but still have the 1DX mk ii as a secondary camera but it is too big and heavy for a secondary camera. My wife recently got a R5 as well to replace / complement her 80D.

Good video. It was actually another video on bird photography (which I don't do) that induced me to go with the R6 instead of the R5. I was worried about the lower megapixels, but his bird photos also looked great with plenty of detail. (Plus the lower megapixel count is better for low light.) Now you showing how well the R6 upscales makes me feel even better about my decision. The images between the two are frankly indistinguishable in any meaningful capacity. If it had global shutter and dual native ISO, I think it would be the perfect camera.

Just came across your great video. I have the R6 (and R7) and am debating whether or not to step up to the R5 or the R6 Mk2.

I’m still contemplating the move up to the R6 Mk2 but need an excellent video like this one to give a direct comparison between the two!

Another comment. I recently started using the electronic shutter after staying away from it for all the months I have had the camera for the reasons you said in your video. Now it is amazing you have to give it a go. I agree no sound and no way to tell how many shots. Ok To take less shots I press the front shutter very quickly and get maybe 3 shots even on a stationary bird. on a bird in flight I always did bursts. Now the bursts give more shots but the amazing big advantage is that you have a choice of getting the perfect shot which I didn't even know about before. I love it. It doesn't wear the shutter and is silent and vibration free. The same thrill you mentioned is still there knowing I am getting so many shots and one will be great. I may be imagining but It could also be a tiny bit sharper on the electronic shutter. Bit of a rave. Thanks.

This is a great review/comparison of these two cameras, one of the easiest to watch for sure. I do think that the focal length used between the two cameras in the IQ comparisons should’ve been further acknowledged, given the $4,000-$5,000 different between those two lenses alone. In some regard one could look at the R5 as a way to SAVE money from having to upgrade from 500mm to 600mm.

Another great video, Duade! With either camera did you notice the IS on your 500mm staying active after taking your eye away from the viewfinder? I got an R5 from Canon for some testing and was surprised to hear my lens IS grinding away when the camera was no longer up to my eye (until the camera goes to sleep). I couldn't find a way to turn that off, so ultimately I used the lens with IBIS only. I'm hoping there is a setting somewhere to change that behavior!

@Duade

Hi Judd, I will keep an ear out for it, I don't recall being annoyed by it. I know the IBIS is very noisy on my old EF lenses which took getting used to. I can say the whole system is a lot quieter when combined with RF IS lenses. Cheers, Duade 👍

This and Jan’s comparison are so helpful - thank you for this video! I was sold on the R6…but I continuously switch between photo and video and I would have been very upset to learn I needed to fumble with the knob and settings every I wanted to switch between modes on the R6…that alone is nearly worth the extra price for me when the hassle is spread over countless shoots.

I really appreciated your comprehensive comparison of the R5 and R6. I live in NZ and our dollar has even less buying power than the Aussie one, plus we pay 15% GST on everything, so price was a critical element in my decision to purchase. As a purely stills shooter, I had no need for the video features of either camera, so the downgrading of those features on the R6 had no impact on me, and I preferred the dual SD cards over the (to me) unnecessary and hugely expensive Express CF cards. I got 2 x R6 bodies, with grips and spare batteries, plus the RF24-105 and 100-500 lenses and found the combination to be awesome. Like you, I would be very interested if Canon DO produce an R7, but there seem to be only rumors at present. Most of our wildlife is avian or smaller, so I found the samples you provided very appropriate. I too found the IBIS and AEAF to be game changers for me and got a lot more keepers than my 5DIV and 5DsR bodies. I don't produce large, detailed prints; in fact most of my images are displayed digitally, so I don't necessarily need the 45MP of the R5, and as you mentioned the R6 images are outstanding, even cropped. The R6, with its slightly better low light performance (which I put down to the bigger pixels), works for me, as many of my subjects are in the dim light of the NZ bush. Thank you for your down-to-earth presentations that are rich in information without drama!

Great video, loving all your stuffs far. I'm currently crippled with indecision about whether R6 or R5 should be my new camera. While I could just afford to purchase the R5 I'm having trouble justifying that decision as the only reason it's even on the table is the 45mp sensor so that I could potentially have a bit more reach sometimes if I need to crop heavily. Video is of no interest to me so some in-between model with a bigger sensor but chuck the 8k video to lower the 2000Euro price difference would be nice 👌.

@@Duade Thats what i am hoping for. Just time will show, and i am exited to see how it will turn out 📸 Cheers

I own both and just got back from a trip to S. Florida, my first trip with them and I used them about the same amount of shots. I only do stills and have grips on both and never had a problem with battery life going down to where I lost the 12fps. I would recharge the batteries each night and and was good to go. Being down in the bright Florida sun was the first time I noticed a difference in the EVF of the two. I’ve only had them since winter began at home so it’s been mostly cloudy dark days and I couldn’t tell in these conditions but in bright sun the R5 was noticeably better. I don’t think people should worry about the megapixels that much and if the R5 is out of your budget you will still get great pictures with the R6.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience, I do find the battery specs confusing from Canon as I get so many more than on the specs. Yes, I found the R5 EVF much nicer to look through. Cheers, Duade

Excellent comparison and thanks, Duade. Not sure when the "R7" comes into play.

What I've come to learn is that I appreciate my shots on my FF camera more, with lower megapixels than my crop sensor high megapixel camera. A lot has to do with the lens resolution. When you crop and use more pixels, you are pushing the lens to the limit, and often I find shots might be higher res, but my feeling is that they look softer. The lower mp don't allow pixel peeping as much, which is often a good thing if your lens is not a really expensive prime L lens.

Thanks a lot for yet another very useful and in depth video! I have the feeling that the topaz upscaling might be hurting the r6 in the comparison. I am somewhat sensitive to the artefacts introduced by topaz (whether is is upscale, sharpen or noise reduction) and I think that the R6 crop of the seagulls is noticeably worse than the R5 version on the YT video. I wonder if - at least for YT - it would look better with a more traditional upscale algorithm.

yes, I agree that I would rather not upscale as it can cause issues and in the real world I rarely upscale as I don't often print large. It is good to have a few options to try if needed. Cheers, Duade

I was also thinking a long time about which one to get, because they are so similar, and went with the R5 in the end. And I am absolutely loving it, it's a big improvement compared the 5D mark iv I had before. But if I need (and can afford) a second body at some point, I am going to buy the R6.

Hi Stan, the IBIS makes the viewfinder steadier making is a little easier to take photos handheld. You can also use slightly slower shutter speeds if required however I would still suggest trying to stay over 1/400 if possible. Cheers, Duade

You are my Canon goto guru!! As a wildlife photographer, I never liked Nikon's D500 because it was only 20 megapixels - the photos lost too much when cropping in. I preferred my D800 and the my D850. I commented recently on one of you videos when I was thinking about the Canon 90D - I bought it and have been using it for a week with and old version one 100-400 push pull and am more impressed than I can tell you. I have never gone into the mirrorless cameras (other than shooting Sony and will never pick up that garbage again). Maybe the Z9 will be amazing and all my old prime glass will work, but I am really blown away by Canon (including my little M50 I picked up used from B&H for video) - and now looking at the R5 and the 100-500 to go with it. For me, a great shot is one with character that I can print full poster size, have it still be tack sharp with DEEP rich color - something Nikon and Canon are both known for. My all new adventure is in learning where my controls are since Nikon is second nature to me. This older 90D is off the charts amazing. I too prefer the shutter sound (shooting the D850 in silent with the screen was unnerving or using my friends Z6 in silent) and actually prefer a slower burst speed. I don't want to cull through 1000 photos to pick one - Ill just shoot one amazing one and call it a day. The buffer on the 90D is small so knowing that, as long as I don't hold the shutter down I am good to go - I am getting used to that too. I am glad you mentioned the buffer for the R5. Battery life is something I was worried about, but I will carry an extra battery - been shooting the 90D two days straight on one charge......! Thank you for your informative videos. John JonnyPink

John, thank you for taking the time to share your experience, the 90D 100-400 combo is excellent for birds and all around shooting as it allows you to get very close. You effectively have 640mm on a 32mp camera which is great. The R6 100-500 will give you 500mm at 20mp so it will feel a little shorter but the low light performance is exceptional. It will be interesting to see if they release an R7 as that will likely replace the 90D in regards to top APSC. Cheers, Duade

Thank you. Very helpful. I just ordered an R5. Curious how they perform with an EF adapter and a 1.4x extender.

Good video! I got a question and would be glad if you provide a follow up video or your view on it. For wildlife, how much could I crop in for a 24 MP camera before the noise become too visible for printing e.g. is it 8 MP or 3MP or 2MP etc... Also will you be reviewing the new Canon Eos R6 Mark II anytime soon. Will you recommend upgrading to R6 Mark II from the M6 Mark II? Thanks. 🙂

I was take the R6 (v 1) from the 5D mark III and was sad to have only 20mp compared to the R5 or R7 (fewer than the 5d), and thinking it was not enough for cropping my photos. thank you a lot for your video :) Realy clear and detailed explanation. I am happy to see i dont lost a lot with fewer MP (sorry for my englinsh and greating from france)

Thanks for the terrific comparison between the two cameras. I chose the R5 primarily because of the larger sensor resolution and VF resolution. You might note that the TIFF files from the R5 out of Lightroom to go to the Topaz products are absolutely huge, about 280MB. Would love your opinions on using CRAW vs RAW in these cameras. I have used both in my processing and for the life of me cannot see any differences in processed image quality. What do you think? Also, have you found any other answers to the "sticky" focus point issue? Again, thanks for the great videos!

@Duade

Ben, I apologise for the late response, your comment popped up today a month later?? Yes, the VF is much better in the R5. Yes, the TIF files are large for the R5 and you can quickly fill up hard drives that is for sure. I have not tried CRAW but I have read people cannot tell the difference. I usually delete the TIF file once I have finished processing the image to help save space. Cheers, Duade

The more I find out about the R-series cameras, the more I want to run through the streets screaming… no idea what is the answer . I was sure that the answer to MY particular shooting style was the R7…. Now, hell, I just don’t know anymore. Great video, wonderful comparison, super informative! Thanks so much!👍

Few people talk about upscaling image size with software as opposed to more megapixels. Your comparison was interesting and valuable information. I also appreciate the info on battery life.

Never shot with the R6 - can only speak to the R5 (which I’ve been using since October). I usually shoot with the 1Dx Mark II (another 20mp sensor). Had save up enough to purchase another pro body on 2020 - was going to be either the 1Dx Mark III or the R5. The R5 was highly recommended by a few of my sports photographer friends, so glad I listened to them and purchased it. It is my go to body now. Few reasons I enjoy using the R5 over the 1Dx Mark II: 1. Better auto focus - the eye and head auto focus is a game changer; especially, the animal af. Works really well when focusing on one specific bird in a flock. Back button focusing takes full advantage of this. Initially focus on the bird’s eye, then switch to eye/head auto focus. 2. The 12 fps mechanical isn’t as fast as the 1Dx Mark II, but is adequate. Plus, can get 20 fps electronic. So far, the only birds that have given me a problem with rolling shutter - hummingbirds. Lastly, can get relatively high mp stills from 8K video. 3. Can’t beat the 45 mp sensor. My go to lense is the Canon 300mm 2.8 IS USM Mark II. This lense works exceptionally well with the R5 - the 45 mp sensor takes full advantage of the 300’s sharpness. Unlike a 20mp sensor, the 45mp sensor allows one to crop more aggressively. Plus, as you did for the R6 images. One can upscale R5 images as well and achieve nice results. This is a relatively inexpensive way to achieve greater focal length. The R5 compared to the R6: 1. Lifetime Shutter Actuations. I mostly shoot with the mechanical shutter - when I found out that the R5 has 500,000 lifetime actuations to the R6s 300,000 - made the decision to purchase the R5 that much easier. 200,000 additional actuations isn't something to easily overlook. 2. Lastly, the R5 is a better camera for all types of photography - portrait, architecture, landscape, or macro. The 45mp sensor allows greater diversity. The only edge I see the R6, and its 20mp sensor having, is in astrophotography.

Ray, thank you for your detailed comparison, I have had the pleasure of using the 300 2.8 and yes it is a super sharp beautiful lens. I agree the R5 is the better camera if you can afford it. Cheers, Duade

Hi, Duade. What a great video. Great pace and clarity of thought. Engaging, too. Thank you. I don't have any camera, yet, but want to start bird photography. Thete is so much out there that is contradictory- lots of opinions. I guess I'm still stuck on the r6 mark ii or r5. The r6 might be better for me as I want a canera for general use, too. I never thought it would be so confusing. But your opinions are so useful. I will have to start somewhere so I'll save a bit of money and avoid the r5.

Nice work as ever. Only thing I would say is, having just played around with Topaz Sharpen and Denoise , they both do a lot of work on sharpening and noise reduction (even though each tool focuses on one over the other). I’m would take a guess (but I haven’t used it though) that part of their Gigapixel AI tool is applying some of the impressive sharpening they do across their toolset. That would really help the R6 upscaled (and I’m guessing sharpened) image over a raw R5 image. What would be great to see is you upscaling the R5 image up by a similar ratio and then comparing the extra subject size, resolution and detail you get out of those extra MP. Cracking video as ever mate 👍🏼

@Duade

3 жыл бұрын

You’ve got a cracking channel here Duade! Maybe it’s an idea for another video to do some comparisons on upscaling and sharpening options. With your mate with the 600mm, you could do some comparisons on cropping your 500mm to match his angle of view after upscaling and sharpening.
