Yes yes i know the main talking angle is a bit red 😂 I exported this 4 times because FCPX kept messing up and was too tired to fix it.... just pretend I got a little burnt on the weekend 😂

I LOVE the rain B-Roll in the beginning. What a way to turn a dreary day into some beautiful content.

"the most misunderstood camera of 2020" from all the videos i've seen about the R5 this title is sooo accurate 😂

[MARZILLI]

Maybe it’s time for an EOS “C” Cinema mirrorless line... a cinema first mirrorless similar to the A7siii...

[rickardkevaanranta]

Gerald Undone made a great review you all should watch after this!
Tsemppiä Matti!

3 days already with the R5, it is an insane camera. No overheating for me in my workflow (I do only videos) and I've been using it A LOT these last days lol. I'm not shooting long clips, I use my Ninja V a lot (like I was already doing for ProRes), I use multiple cameras, and obviously I turn the R5 off between each shot. The new auto-focus is really next level compare to the best I have (Canon R, 1Dxii, my A7iii), the IBIS is just unreal combined with lens IS and digital IS (way better than my GH5). I was initially going to get also the A7Siii but in fact I think I'm going to get an R6 to complement and (finally) sell most of my other cameras, with that money I should be close to get a C300iii :)
Definitely a lot of very typical YouTube hate on a product that is absolutely next level in real use...

If Cannon had just said “hey.. it’s our flagship mirror less high resolution photo camera with IBIS and oh by the way you can also take short clips in 8k, 4K 120p, 4K 60 and all in 10 bit 4.2.2 .. it would have been camera of the year and there would have been much fewer complaints or trash talk but they led with the video specs and should now drown in their own marketing disaster.. I only had a few canon lenses so decided a year ago to jump to Sony and bought the A7RIV for high resolution photos and pre-ordered the A7siii for video... if you have lots of cannon glass you should get the R5 for photos and the cannon c300 cine camera for video ... (if you do a lot of video) projects

It’s time to get rid of epidemic sounds when you have to recycle the same songs or repeat every song amongst YouTubers.

Everybody go watch Gerald Undone’s review of this camera.

I’m mid-transition from EF to RF. I bought the R5 (still waiting for it to show up) to be my main stills camera. The fact that it can shoot *any* video is a bonus for me, though, I tend to rent appropriate cinema gear when doing a job that requires video, and also rent appropriate stills gear if the job requires more than what I personally own. If you’re doing a paid shoot (with thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars on the line, or more), it makes zero sense to not just simply get and use the tools that are designed to meet what the shoot requires. Youtube is collectively losing its mind because the community seems to think that shooting 8K for any length of time is a requirement to shoot any video? Hrmm.... OK.... this must be the same crowd that demands C700 specs in the price and body of an RP.... time for a dose of reality I think... the R5 is not a junk camera, however it absolutely is not a cinema camera. Use it appropriately, and it will serve you well for many years.

Whenever I want to complain about overheating, I remember that my camera is a sony a5100 and it overheats after 15 min filming 1080p. So...

Everyone should cancel their orders! Then I can get my pre-order a little faster 😁

[BrentHall]

Got my R5 a few days ago. Surprisingly, I haven't don't any video with it yet (still waiting on my CF Express card), just been focusing on the stills aspects so far. I think people are forgetting how amazing this camera is for wildlife! I've been super impressed with everything so far. The IBIS and the animal eye af are just stupid good. 3 more weeks until my R6 gets here, then we can do some more tests!

[carlosc.]

Really simple: if you’re more into video, get the Sony.

[patdavidmusic]

Hey Matti!
Thank you for the video! I’d love to see what is it actually like for you to use in a daily vlogging sense, do you have to wait? Is it holding you back?

[paultaylor]

Canon Engineers (feeling smug): It has a 45MP sensor and IBIS.
Canon Marketing: Are you kidding us? Sony has had IBIS for years and has a 61MP camera. How are we going to sell this piece of sh*t!?
Canon Engineers: It has 8K RAW video
Canon Marketing: We love it! Now we know how to sell it
Canon Engineers: But it overheats the camera after 5 minutes
Canon Engineers: Hello? Are you there?

[andyfletcher]

So close to 1million man, been following you for a long time now - can’t wait to see you reach that milestone 🙌

[CollegeFootballNerds]

Editor: "Hey Matti, how warm of a color grade do you want for your talking head segment?"
Matti: "Yes"

I’ve got an R5 on preorder - and I am SO EXCITED as I will use it almost entirely for photography. Almost no one talks about this camera for photos!! I think it will be incredible!!

[pulselx]

I think I’ve convinced myself on still getting the R5, writing this to help anyone else on the fence between Sony or cannon. So for me i started with photography and started really getting into video and for the most part at this stage in my career i am never going to need 8k or honestly 4K any of my clients would probably be super happy with 1440p. Also the fact that this camera has a 45 megapixel sensor is crazy any other camera with those specs is going to be really expensive as well without all the awesome video features the cannon still gives you. Another thing that convinced me is that if you really need better videos you can get a designated video camera such as a red or black magic camera and both of those use cannon lenses so investing in the cannon i think is a good idea. Those are some of the reasons i think i am going to buy the R5 over the Sony. No one will probably read this but maybe it will help someone!
