Sorry SONY but I tried the CANON R5 and LOVED IT ❤️

I’ve been shooting with Sony kit for a few years now, but recently Canon sent me some kit including the Canon R5 and bunch of RF lenses to have a play with to see what I thought, and well...

Clever video... I bought the R6 the moment it was released, upgrading from the Canon 5D Mkiii. Everyone wanted the R5, but stocks were low and to me, the extra mega-pixels didn't make sense for my shooting of a few weddings a year, but mostly corporate photography, headshots and low light events.... 6 months later, every wedding photographer was buying an R6 because of it's low light performance and all around usefulness, I am about to get my MKII of the R6 as a second body and I can't wait. I have shot with the R5 and the R3, both incredible cameras! But the R6 is special.... I showed the church I was shooting for and the staff photographers just how much easier it was to use and the shots.... and well, that was 15+ more R6's sold.... I only wish I got a gift from Canon for being such an ambassador, but I haven't created content like you... but now I am learning so I can... I want to teach quality photography to people.

Great video Glyn...suspect you could get an Oscar for the closing scenes. Brilliant. As to the R5, I do not want to miss it anymore. You described the pros spot on. Thank you and keep 'em vids coming. Always enjoy your energy and humour.

I am a wildlife photographer that no longer does events or anything but wildlife. I switched from Nikon to Canon when the R5 came out because of the tech. For me, Sony just did not have the deep rich color I want in the raw files and and as such, was not for me. The R5 blew my mind. Forward 3 years later and I went ahead and took a chance and bought the Z9.... it is the only purchase regret I have as far as photography goes. The Canon R5 is simply an amazing beast that impresses me every time I go and I use all old Canon EF glass that adapts to the new R mount perfectly. I can get the longer lenses at half the price of what they were originally and they work flawlessly. For me as a wildlife #TeamCanon and I am not looking back. Eagerly awaiting the Canon R1 that I suspect will impress me even more. I still shoot a DSLR now and again just to make me think. All just so much fun!!! 🤗💖

One thing you said which I think gets lost sometimes is that this camera is such a joy to use that it really does make you want to get out and use it more often.
I wish they’d have sent you the 100mm macro, because that lens is the one I’m having the best time with.
I have the 100mm, 85 1.2 DS, 50 1.2 and the 15-35.
Wait until you get out shooting high speed sync at 1.2 with those primes, glorious results!

I watch a lot of YouTube videos, and every time I run across one of your videos I could never understand why you shoot with Sony cameras. In my mind, you were born to be a Canon shooter.

It’s actually pretty hard to buy a bad camera. The first digital camera I bought was a Nikon in 2005. It was not cheap. The cameras now have come so far. It’s basically finding one that is best for the style of shooting you do and has a good selection of lenses.

Good points on the R5. For many of us, switching brands is a hard road since you lose so much selling and re-buying glass. I love Canon color. It is the best. I know I could get used to holding down the button to change the aperture on the Canon but I am used to the two dial system of Nikon and Sony. Some things are hard to change. For anyone starting with mirrorless photography, Canon is a good option. Hopefully, they will embrace third-party lenses in the future. For others who want a wider selection of lenses and don't mind the ergonomics of a smaller body, Sony fits that bill as well. I don't think people weigh the pros and cons of the systems or rent/borrow a camera before buying into a system. Many will watch YouTube videos of their favorite influencer and pick that system. I watch Tony and Chelsea and would be broke if I changed system each time they went with a new system. 🤣

Thanks Glyn. I got a good chuckle out of this video. I've been on the fence about these two cameras. Both great. But I think I've made my decision. You're a hoot.

Cute😎 I switched from Canon to Sony after 30 years with Canon for two reasons: FF Mirrorless & Megapixels. I started with the A7r and every version of the A7r until the A1. I stuck with my Canon lenses a bit longer with a metabones adapter as I had a big investment in lenses including 800mm 600mm and 200-400 with TC plus just about every red-stripped lens they offer. My last Canon was the 1Dx, which I kept and used both Sony and Canon. Then I added the A9 and had better results (birds in flight) with the A9 and Canon lenses than the 1Dx and same. At that point, I began selling off my Canon L glass and replacing it with Sony GM glass. My gain was 7 years of mirrorless shooting while Canon and Nikon tried to figure it out. Now, I don't see any reason to switch from one to the other. They are all great and can be selectively compared to make one brand look better than another, but anyone of them in the right hands will produce top images and videos. Today Sony doesn't offer tethering or focus stacking. For me, focus staking is seldom and tethering is never, but Sony should add both. All differences between the big 3 are incremental and I would recommend to anyone to stick with the brand they already have. When I am asked what camera I use, I defer and ask, "what do you like about my images?" If a photographer can't get good shots with Nikon, then switching to Sony won't help. I would tell those looking to improve their photos to take a class from Glyn Dewis and stick with the camera system they have. Fun video😎🤙

Welcome back to the fold Glyn. My R5 has by far been my favourite Canon and your enthusiastic video was spot on mate. My only wish item would be for the camera to track the photographers eye for focus😉

[Animosity]

Given that you're clearly already invested in the Sony system I'd be interested to see you try the A1 to see how it compares with the R5. Do you think the 1/400 sync speed of the Sony could be of use?

[dcurleyifa]

Having been an EOS user since the 650 I waited and waited for the R5 as a full frame mirrorless camera to replace my EOS 1DX2, s which were causing me unimagineable pain due to their weight. The added bonus with the R5 in addition to its lightness is the eye tracking, IBIS, Photo stacking and being able to focus on a point then move the camera to recompose, even on moving objects, try doing that with a 1DX.
I cannot see me replacing the R5 for many years as it does everything I need and more. My only complaint is that Canon must permit 3rd party lenses, they are being very un-professional and spiteful.

[redrazor]

😂😂 absolutely loved this Glyn. 1. For a great review, 2. For how you put this together to present and 3. The humour at the end! 👌 made me giggle. Can’t wait to see the C in the next vid 🤔

My go-to walkaround camera changed from a 5Diii with a much-loved and underrated EF 28–80mm f2.8–4 L to an R5 with an RF 24–105mm f4 L IS USM. Such is progress.

[roboHare]

After owning the R5 for two years, I’ve gone back the other way. Loved the camera, ergonomics, colours and lenses but I simply couldn’t afford the glass I wanted to pair with the R5. Purchased the Tamron f2.8 trinity for my new A7iV for the price of the RF 24-70 f2.8. Seeing a few canon rf owners coming over or Sony for similar reasons

[onlysublime]

I love my R5 so much that I always have it by my side. When I'm driving, it's sitting on the passenger seat. When I go to restaurants, I take it with me. It's such a user-friendly camera that does so much. When a waiter comes over, I hand it over to him to take a group pic. He looks puzzled and I tell him to just tap the screen. He snaps the shot and is shocked how easy it was. Canon knows what photographers need to make a great experience. But let's not downplay the Canon stats. It's very easy to say that you can have stats or you can have shooting experience. There is nothing lacking in the R5. No other camera matches the R5 at its price point. But the key point is if a camera gets you out there shooting more often, then it's the perfect camera for you. So if that Sony or Nikon or Canon gets you to shoot more often, then the camera is a winner.

[nogerboher]

I switched from having a Nikon D810 and Canon 1DXll, along with 11 expensive Nikon lenses and 4 very expensive Canon lenses, right onto Sony, just 3 years ago and man... I actually think that Sony cameras are terrible, especially their build quality and even more so ergonomics... But... When I tried all the Zeiss and GM glass... Oh man... That just won me over... If Zeiss ever decides to make glass for Z/RF mounth, I'm switching right back to either Canon or Nikon.

As an R5 user, looking forward to your next video ;)

[jembee]

My first interchangeable lens camera was a Sony a6300, six months later due to the lack of affordable e mount lenses at the time I bought a Canon 800D. The feeling I had with the Canon in my hand, ease of use etc was just like you describe. I just enjoyed using it so much more. I have wondered about upgrading from my 90D to a full frame camera, and I did reluctantly think perhaps I should look at Sony. I think you’ve made my decision for me. And I hadn’t realised that Sony did not do focus stacking in camera. So thank you.

Had fun watching this. Good one, Man! 😂
