My Equipment Main Camera - Canon R5 and EOS R6

I am so happy the R5 MK II was announced so I could finally afford the R5 MK I!

I can't get enough of the R5. I love my camera. It's been my work horse since I purchased. Good Video

I love my R5! I have been rocking the R5 as my only camera with the RF100-500 for more than two years. It has never let me down. I am about to pull the trigger on the R7 as I need a backup camera and a second body as my son started to join me on my wildlife trips.

Just ordered a brand new R5 today 🥰 in the past I switched from the R5 to the R5c… but not happy with it. Now with this price at the moment it‘s time for my second R5 😁 The R5ii will be incredible… but it will be not cheap I thing 😉🤪

Just fyi @5:30 you said the R5 and R5C have the wobble. The R5C does not have ibis just the R5.

Been dual wielding R5's and recently acquired Sony's A1 and man o man was I impressed! If Canon's R5 II isn't up to expectations I'm seriously debating completed switching to the A1's full time. Custom Buttons have way more options, ergo is way nicer feeling, lighter, smaller, for video you have variable shutter, its stack bsi 50mp sensor is just amazing.30 fps shooting, lacks 8k raw but still shoots 8k. The flip screen is better in my opinion as well. Canon if you're listen add this Sh%t to the Canon R5 II so I can save money an not switch systems!

Hey Kris, what is the lens on that camera? 100-300 or 100-500? (or 70-200...?)

Good review, agreed with all points. An R8 might work well for vlogging purposes using just the lens IS and a bit of Digital IS, and it may be a little better at high ISOs.
Although if you disable the IBIS and lens IS on the R5 and rely fully on the Enhanced Digital IS instead, that might also work well, works great with the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM lens.

is that an insta360 camera mounted to the hot shoe? Can we see the footage of what that looked like? :)

The R5 is good but the R3 is even better

R5 mkii:
Useless eye tracking.
Worse dynamic range.
Same resolution and mechanical frame rate.
More pointless 8k video features.
Still has a sensor wobble issue.
$2000 more than R5.

Yup, Original R5 is still the best option even in 2025 for most people. Unless you hate money. Put the difference into a new lens and wait for a worthy successor worth the extra cost.

Personally I dont see a point to upgrade until an R5 series body comes with a global shutter.

Did they fix the low-light performance in the R6 MK II?

The best is Lumix s5II, for 1700$ . R5 has a lot of flaws for 3300$ if we speak about both photo&video

Yeah and then you make a YouTube video with it and it makes me sick because of how much the video wobbles when you vlog 🤮. Sure for photo it’s amazing but video it is not up to standard.
