Goodbye SONY? Canon EOS R5 Real World Review | TIME TO SWITCH?!

This is the Real World Review of the Canon EOS R5. Is this a complete FAIL of a Camera or is it one of the best cameras ever made? Will I be switching from Sony to the R5? Is the OVERHEATING really an issue? Let's find out.....This video was shot entirely on the Canon EOS R5 and RF Lenses.

Order the Canon EOS R5 from

The Canon EOS R5 is what I would call a MASTERFUL Camera. Is it perfect...no, but it's certainly close. This is a powerful, well rounded camera, from it's 12 frames per second at 45 megapixels, to INSANE almost Sony like lock on tracking and finally it's video capabilities. This is one of the most well rounded cameras i've ever used. Canon deserves major props for being able to produce such a camera. Not to mention how amazing the RF Lenses are. Where Canon dropped the ball on this one, marketing. It should never have been marketed as a 8k video first camera. It should have been an amazing stills camera that offers solid solid video for those who need it...with some limits.

At the end of the day, I am not switching for stills but there's a good possibility that we will be replacing all our Nikon Z6's which we've been using for video with R5's and RF glass.

Was anybody else waiting for the “skip ad” banner at the beginning of the video? It took me so long my realize it was actually part of the vid 😂😂😂😂

I never comment on videos, this might be my first comment ever, but this was an amazing review. It not only teaches about the camera but teaches about photography, composition, goes through a realistic photo shoot. Thanks Jared, you and your team crushed this

I'm not sure everyone fully appreciates all the intricacies that are involved in putting together a video like this from the scripting to the traveling, to the gear set up in the field or in studio, to the testing, to the editing to even the little things like getting your plugs right (like the Allen's camera page for pricing) for sponsors. You put together the absolute best real-world reviews of camera gear on the net. There's no shilly hype happening. Sure, there's lots of folks that put out their "reviews" on new gear when the embargo is lifted, but you don't hear much else down the road---especially if it's not the system those photographers use.

What impresses me is the extensive work you do putting together multiple videos together on a camera even when it's not in your primary system. Anyway, good job. I'll have my R5 in hand soon and will make sure to use your links. Thanks for the hard work.

When i first started watching his videos i thought he was just a guy on YouTube yelling and doing click-baits for views. But as time went on i understood that he was just brutally honest at all times and he was among the few reviewers who actually put in time and effort and went out and shot good pictures showing the capabilities of the gear he has. There are many with same or more equipment but rarely takes good pics and just do totally pointless lab tests and dramatise everything. Jared does useful real world reviews. Lots of love from India Jared. Keep up the good work ❤️.

The whole idea of changing systems losing money on rebuying cameras and lenses every couple of years is so inane. All the systems are incredibly capable these days.

I am a sony shooter, but i still watched this entire review not because i want to switch to canon, but because i really enjoy watching Jared reviews, and this one was amazing

[AsherDutchie]

Right after that intro i was expecting the Peter McKinnon intro to pop up and start playing

[triaxj]

Lol I thought I accidently clicked on a Peter Mckinnon video at first.

Finally the Fro has released the long awaited review of the Canon R5 👍🏻

I say this in the nicest way....

Bout Damn Time. *Grabs popcorn* 😎🍿

40:00 - I spoke with a canon rep and asked him about a possibility for 4K RAW in the future. He said it isn't really possible because the RAW video is just straight up the uncompressed data from the sensor which is 45 megapixels/8K native. They would have to do some extra processing/line skipping to do 4K RAW which apparently isn't possible right now. This is also why you can't film 8K RAW if you have electronic stabilization turned on, because if it crops for stabilization it can't use the full sensor readout.

It may seem like a small thing, but thank you for endorsing mask use around 8:50. It makes a big difference to those of us who have lost someone due to COVID-19.

Great video Jared! Fun fact about the recording limit (usually 29:59) that most manufacturers use on DSLR style cameras; going above that limit classifies that camera as a video camera/camcorder under import law in the US. Stupid but thats the explanation that I was given. Hope this helps anyone that questions this limit.

[StarGateSG]

p.s. This entire video was ALSO A GREAT TUTORIAL ON HOW to shoot candids and media personalities in a tasteful and story-telling manner. The example scenarios and backgrounds illustrated here in this video just upped my photo game by at least 33% within a mere hour and a half of my day!

Thanks!

Hi i didn't get the adopter you spoke about for the Ef lens? I have Ef lens what adopter to use for r5?

[jordiw]

Let’s be real canons autofocus is faster specially at finding the subject

[duaneromanell]

Great content. We just got a R5 at work, and are being tasked to shoot very similar to what you've done here (artist working in a studio). I am finding it hard to nail the eye AF, and then switch to shooting other objects in the environment. Is there an AF method or drive mode you would suggest for doing the back and forth? Thanks.

[Ramage]

Thank you Jared, Stephen and Dan!!! I have been really looking forward to your RWR.

[brucebmendoza]

Bro that was cool comparison. Thanks for the video.

[StevenAlvarez]
