My Opinion has changed on the Canon EOS R

The Canon EOS R has gotten some much needed improvements with it's latest firmware update including super accurate EYE Autofocus that really surprised me!

The eos R with the 15-35L has been crazy good for interiors. This lens is crazy sharp

Thing I appreciate about you, Manny, is your forethought and adaptability. That’s the difference in amateur versus professional photographers. Shape the light and use what’s around you. Getting complete strangers to follow instructions when they don’t have to. Love it. Nice work.

That reflect on the car and the couple passing by the model in the middle? Man, you killed it 😍 Really dope!

The Fact that the pedestrians actually started taking direction orders instead of just moving on had me dead on the floor lol.

It is so awesome to see how the mirrorless tech is pushing more creativity now that people aren't bound to a tiny portion AF cluster on the center of the frame, being able to shoot wide open, with precision and in almost every part of the frame without recomposing!!! :) this is cool! Beautiful shots Manny!


I'm glad you are working hard to overcome your shyness Manny! Old Manny wouldn't have asked the couple to help with the shot!! Beautiful photos as always man!!!

I don't think it matters what camera system you use Manny. You and any other skilled photographer will be able to capture amazing photos with any camera system.

It's great to see that Canon has improved their camera with the latest firmware to keep up with their awesome glass.

Super dope to see you giving Canon another chance. I'm in the same bolt myself but trying to stay put while waiting for the unicorn A7SIII. I was getting bored with my A7III & almost jumped ship but I started playing around with flash photography & kinda sparked my love for Sony again. Winter & beginning of next year should be an interesting time. Looking forward to more videos with you & the canon gear. Really helps us all in getting a different perspective. Cheers

I come back to watch this video every few months. The pictures are amazing

[acejoey]

That was hilarious manny getting those random people to help you out for the shot

[gtaatmiami]

touch and drag is so amazing, i could care less about having no joystick. The touch bar can definitely be replaced tho

[DustinAbbottTWI]

I completely agree with your thoughts on the improvements. They are enough that I actually bought an EOS R and so I can cover more of the RF lenses. I also agree on your ergonomic points at the end. By the way - your portraits in this image are just amazing. Stunning work, Manny.

you will be glad to know that eye tracking also works on manual focus. So that means you can use focus assist with manual lens to get sharp eye focussed images.

Duuuddde the way you used the sunroof! GENIUS

[maxim.horoshilov]

We are getting closer and closer to the day when we receive a YouTube notification: "Manny Ortiz: I'm switching to Canon..." :D

[Slippinjimmy]

That sunroof reflection shot is just amazing.

[RicardoMiguelMoura]

Am I the unique EOS R owner loving the new Touch Bar? I really love it. Mine is set to change ISO very fast. 1-left-click for ISO100, slide to increase/ decrease value. Very handy.

Dude, you are seriously a master. Those photos look so good!

[wanakoplays]

Just goes to show that there are no bad cameras these days. No matter what you choose, whether it be from Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji, etc., everything is just so damn good now.

[sidersproductions]

Random people yes you're part of the shot too. That one more time was hilarious!😂😂
