The R is probably going to last you like 10 more years. I mean honestly, what more can cameras really do? Picture quality isn't getting any better, does good video. Now if you're just getting your first camera, I'd say yhe R6 but if you've already got a camera as late as the R, then you're fine right now. I mean, Canon 6D OG still has some of the best picture images all time and that was made in the 2010s.

I happy the R is still holding up against the other newcomers. Keeping my R for a bit longer!

An R great picture today will be a great R picture in 10-15 years time.

I consider upgrading from the R every once in a while, but it's still better suited for me than anything than came after it. The R5 is objectively better, but you really have to NEED those features to make the price worth it and I just don't. The R has fallen out of favor since it's older now, but it's one monster of a stills camera for the price.

Canon had to make a statement with the R. The newer RP,R8 are not built as well. I’m getting a R for street shooting

Your videos are so informative, while wildly entertaining, and fairly succinct. Awesome job, man.

Loved this video, it hit on so many levels with what I am currently contemplating for my next move to shoot video with the vintage lenses I have supplemented with some of the EOS lenses I have for shots I need autofocus with. I like that there are a few affordable RF lenses for hobos that don't jave $3k to spend on new lenses for a new system. Sony a7sIII is definitely a target camera I know would perform well but it is out or reach at the moment and if I wait till I find one used for a decent price we may be living in an appocoliptice world with no more digital media and we may have reverted back to filming on 8mm mechanical cameras in the post skynet wastelands. The R8 looks better than I expected and you've peeked my interest. Great video again! Thanks for sharing this content!

I scooped up an R8 just recently with this recent price drop. Very very surprised at how good it is. So light and feels great in the hand despite the smaller overall body. Excellent picture quality. Excellent video quality. And with the right settings, the battery has been surprisingly well behaved. Very happy and surprised thusfar with the R8.

Really cool of you to give away the Action 4 to an up-and-comer.

I must say the Canon EOS R held it's ground 👍, it's still a sharp camera 👀

Great review dude 😀Added a sub. People seem to be panicking over R8 not having IBIS where I think that the digital stab does a better job anyway. Had the R6 with the weird warping when trying to use the IBIS with wide angle lens - the R8 with the digital one produced much better results - especially with the Canon 16-35mm f2.8. Even better if you've got lens stabilisation + digital. If you need a proper stabilisation in shots there's no way around a gimbal. As for battery - adding a battery grip totally solved that for me. Also an USB-C battery pack did an amazing job.

Thanks for the video. Still rocking the R in 2024.

Thanks for this video!! Although there were a few situations in which the R8 in 4k looked better to me than the R in 1080, overall I don't think it is a substantial enough upgrade for me to ditch one or both of my Rs and go to an R8. Very much appreciated! Hate to say it, but I may actually consider trying an R5C one of these days. That might just be the answer to it all, just have to rob a bank first.

I use an R as a B cam to a C70. I shoot in 4K all the time…crop, yes but after tweaking the picture profiles in the R I can get fairly close to what I need. The R is a work horse…a good lens goes a long way too. People basked the R so bad when it came out and the used ones are selling like doobies in Toronto.

Nice one just upgraded the old m50 to a rp but that was looking for something to use for landscapes while I kept the 200-800 on the r6ii but found the rp just too small so just upgraded that again to the R as my 2 nd body plus I’ve got a few spare batteries for the R already so looking forward to trying it out alongside the r6ii and see how they compare

You can clearly tell by the highlights in the trees that the R8 has better dynamic range. Which is nice. But my heart is with my Original EOS R. And I dont mind a bit of a glowing background.🙂

Very happy with R8. Very capable video camera for outdoor sports. Do need to keep an eye on temperature when recording longer at 4k 60.

My rebel t6i with the zoom kit lens is my favorite

I could listen to these dialogue clips for days!

I like Zeiss for their 3D pop effect specially the Vintage Carl Zeiss lenses

You have shutter protection on the R8 Start a manual cleaning process and turn the camera off as soon the shutter closes.

Thinking about upgrading the Eos R to R6 mark ii, but still love my R, also I have many L Lens but finding myself using tamron 24-70 2.8 95% of the time so still can find justification to move to RF 24-70

Can you tell what mic did you use fro this entire video test? So clean...💯🎧🔉 Thanks for sharing!

One more thing I forgot to mention the R records in two codecs for each frame rate All-I and IPB.

The R8 footage looked yellow compared to the R. Having problems grading C Log 3? Outaide, they looked the same but the Zeiss lens on the R8 has more pop.

After watching all the this Canon R8 and 8 video, it all just blurred together and I have no Idea what camera is what! But great comparison! Btw who is your co-host? Seemed very nice!

@@shauneverywhere Are you talking now about photo or video when you talk about servo AF? I didnt find any issues using EF lenses on my RP or my R7, and by using vintage glass the camera shoots anyways full speed (bursts) since the aperture is controlled manually/physically (and the camera doesnt know anything about the lens, no electronic contacts) You might talk about the very negliable issue on the R8 which only affects EFCS/"mechanical" in theory but since the R8s EFCS speed is abysmal, there wont be any slowdown. And the slowdown we are talking about is on my R7 like 7-8 fps vs 15 fps, 7 fps is more than enough, and in fact even my Sigma 150-600C, 3rd party EF lens allows for shooting 15 fps mechanically/EFCS. The "issue" with EF/DSLR lenses is much less than you might think. The biggest issue... you lose the mirrorless advantages such as smaller, less complicated optical formulas and smaller formfactor.

Canon´s color science is really a pleasure, and it´t more important than 120 fps ff or other spec. Colors look much pleasant than Sony . No need to spend time adjusting colors in post.

the Planar looks much better than the RF 50 when you are in focus. The background blur is more pleasing.

The R8 with I would think the RF50 (I know my RF16f2.8 does) would correct the distortion when shooting video and stills except in raw mode.

I owned the Eos R and now own the R6 Mark II and it's a huge upgrade in almost every way. Even the 24 MP I find upscales to match or beat the 30 MP on the R. The only downside is that the R had a body more like the R5 with a bigger LCD and a top LCD too. Can't figure out why Canon put in a smaller LCD and removed the top one on the R6/II. The R8 is a much, much cheaper price point than the R when it was released. Internals are better but the externals are most likely not. The R6 is the successor to the R imho not the R8 (which is a RP repalcement).
