A little disclaimer! This video is not sponsored or payed by Canon, if it was, you would know as all sponsorships are disclosed in the video and in the description as per FTC guidelines ( required by law). I wish I was getting payed really, because I put soooo much work into it! 4 real life photoshoots and countless hours of editing just to show you ( for free) the full potential of these cameras. Yes I am a Canon Canada Ambassador but that doesn't mean that I can't express my opinions about Canon freely, I don't have some kind of contract that makes me only praise Canon. I have criticized Canon before ( a lot ) and I will when I feel like it. Those who follow me for a long time know my integrity! But I have been waiting for new mirrorless cameras from Canon for a while now and I am so excited about what they delivered! It's a great time for Canon users so don't let anyone spoil it for you. I have seen so much debate now about the overheating ( never happened for me), the 8k raw, and other things that really don't matter for a real life photographer. The brand wars, spec wars are so annoying to me, and it was actually something that I got into last year when I was looking for a mirrorless camera and it let me to wrong choices. Cameras and gear are so personal, it not about who has the best specs on the sheet. Anyways, thank you to those who left me amazing comments, I will continue making reviews for you. Stay tuned for more :)

Even if you're holding a 10year old camera, people would still believe you're holding the R5. Your end results are always top notch. coming from a sony user. cheers!

Unlike a lot of gearhead reviewers who can recite specs up and down but can't take a decent pic to save their lives, you are actually a really good photographer. Do you retouch your own images? Nice review. I wish they had kept the R6 to the 30 megapixels of the EOS R. That's the perfect sweet spot.

First time viewer here. I really appreciate how unassuming your video is. You create amazing work, but your style feels very honest, approachable, and not over-hyped. And I really enjoy seeing how you're capturing incredible shots from a simple room, the backyard, or some green space in the neighborhood; it's nice to see the realness behind the scenes. Thank you!

Being a Sony A7r3 user, I'm impressed by Canon's effort at releasing professional level mirror-less systems. I wish Sony would update their 85 GM lens, improve its focusing speed. Great video Irene.

This is the best video I've seen showcasing this camera!
I can read about specs online all day long, it's SO NICE to see it actually be used in the field with the type of photography I actually do.
Great video! <3

It's so nice to see someone review the camera from a photography perspective. Thanks!!

All other youtubers: We have yet to get a review model
Irene: I already have both, I am not a reviewer

OMG THE LIGHT PAINTING PHOTOSHOOT!! 7:42 🔥🔥🔥 💜💜💜💜

[EliInfante]

By far the BEST video on the R5 and R6! Thanks Irene

[MarieLouM]

Finally I found a real review of the R5 & R6, showing the footage instead of the specs. Go for the R5 I think though more money but worth it. Thanks for the video, great job.

Irene...when you said that the "older" EF lens actually work better on the R5/6 than they do on the older 5dlll (for example) is music to my ears....

[frederickletterblair]

Love the outdoor shots in this one, feel like Monet or Renoir paintings. Simply wonderful.

[johnnyburbano]

I have always loved your Photography but THIS is the best Photography you have ever produced! Its at a different level and yes shoot in 4k because you are filming incredible beauties.

[adamfilip]

Stunning Models and results. R5 with 85 1.2 is a killer combo.. Who wants to buy a kidney?

[jeveetsoibam]

I'm going for the R6, 20mp is enough to post to social media and for client work like weddings & events where there's low light

[KaiTiura]

I'm not a pro photographer, rather just starting. Have a 70D and an EOS R. Love them both for various reasons. I bought the R5 this morning. This camera sets new boundaries for both photo and video.
The way I look at it, you are only the artist your tools allow you to be. The better you are, the more you can make those tools work for you, but you have to start with quality to assure quality results. These cameras are so close in so many ways that it could be hard to choose, but honestly, the higher end of the R5 just isn't achievable in the R6, so you have to make a choice on how high your initial bar is set with your camera, and I think the R5 sets it to an amazing height. Maybe a historic height. Myself, I just couldn't pass up that ceiling.
I think years from now we all will still be talking about this camera, and those who have it, with the firmware updates surely to come to improve things like getting 1080p/120 (this HAS to be a Canon thing), this is going to be the 5DII of the future, a camera that will have changed the future of photography and videography.

R5 looks amazing and would love one but I have enough gear. That low light session with the light painting was next level though. Amazing as always!

[xXDJXx]

It is incredibly rejuvinating and humbling to see a lowkey, honest perspective on Canon's new mirrorless cameras. It's overwhelming to watch videos talk about their detailed specs alongside other company camera series. I've been shooting only and with Canon for 7 years now, as an amateur. Thank you for your countless hours of hardwork to showcase these new cameras!
