Canon EOS R - Things to Know

Canon has finally joined alongside Sony in the mirrorless world. While not their first mirrorless camera it is definitely the first one to try and get back some people who have made the switch to the ever-growing line up of Sony cameras. But how does it stack up to the other cameras out? Did Canon put in enough features to make it worth the return? Let me know what you think in the comments below!

I've just purchased it for my next portrait gigs, along with the 50mm 1.2 and the battery grip. Fantastic tool at a nice price point. This thing is a blast for photographers. So responsive, totally customizable. I couldn't justify buying g a 5D4 against this one, even if it was the same price. On the video side, I'm just filming in 1080p so this is plenty enough for me. Canon made the right move : the sensor is not too big, not too small in terms of resolution. It's a real pro photographer's tool and a good videographer's option as well.

Just a heads up. You can use the wireless to use your phone/tablet or pc as a live backup. No longer a need for a second card slot. I have used it while shooting events and it works really well.

Awesome, well explained and backs up why I purchased the Canon EOS R. Thanks Greg!

[DanielFayette]

Really nice overview! I purchased mine a few weeks ago and still enjoy watching these kinds of videos haha. Nice work!

500th like! 😁🤙
Loved this, already own the Eos R and absolutely love it I just miss 120fps 1080p and hate that 4k crop but the 1080p is awesome

No one talks about stills, all videographers r out there giving reviews on video functions on cameras designed for stills.😐

How to turn on flash lights for nighttime? I can’t find it LoL

[areaxi]

What are you talking about regarding the buttons?? I’ve had a 5d III for years and the EOS R buttons feel just as good. They’re identical!

[digito]

Great video! How do you get the rack focus so smooth. What are your settings?

[miklosnemeth]

At 8:30 you mentioned that there is 10-bit external video, but it is only available for 4K with the 1.8x crop. Full-sensor 10-bit (HD) is not available on any Canon camera except the expensive C200, C300m2.

Great vids. How do you successfully avoid recording the lens autofocus noise when using external microphone, in my case, Rode VideoMicro

[markshirley]

I have a client who want some food recipes videoing I'm wondering how much I'd lose quality wise with the 120fps - I've heard it's not much different from a lot of 1080 120fps.
PS - the stabilisation looks very good I prefer it to the Z cameras or Sony A series.
