Canon EOS R: Things Nobody Is Talking About

Instead of a review of the Canon EOS R I decided to present the features I think went mostly unnoticed and was pleasantly surprised by. Including some tips & tricks for focusing and customization.

Canon paid me $325, 000 to make this video. #PositiveReinforcement

It's refreshing to see someone focussing on the positive sides of a product. It is way easier for all of us to just bash on the things we dislike and there are more than enough of those videos out there. Keep it up!

[young-geezer]

I haven't found anybody who talks as fast and makes as much sense - you're message is always clear as a bell, that's a real talent. Thanks for jumping out in traffic and spreading this fair side of the R. Seems so many reviewers just want the camera their own way, and fail to mention the "other" people out there who are going to find this a very nice camera. The most important thing about this camera is that it is finally going down the road of mirrorless and the huge potential Canon's opening itself up to (along w/ the others) - and they did a very fine job of making a still camera for photography. And you just stated that and I thank you....

Your reviews are so deep and insightful. How do you only have 12 thousand subscribers? Gotta be higher!

I really like this review. So many others are 1) just noise & 2) compare every new camera to the best hypothetical camera, taking the best traits of everything out there, and criticize every new camera for not having everything the best camera has. If it did, it would be called, “camera, ” and there would only be one company making “camera.”
Competition & innovation are the best for consumers.
I mean, they act like no human being has ever been able to take photos with a camera before the latest camera came out.

Thanks for pointing out these features!

Someone talking about real things with this camera! YAS

[renekarrer]

love your videos, recently discovered. And great technical knowhow. Keep it up

[ibarakidoji]

Finally someone talks about features of the camera beyond the specs sheet. Your content comes from someone who have really used the camera to a length.
Great video!

[aiquelindo]

Great job dude. You are so articulated, concise and straight to the point. Well done.

[realitytunnel]

Thank you! We really need more of these types of video. Too many ‘reviews’ these days are done with initial FW and about 3 days use of a camera, and are never updated over time with experience of small things which can make a huge difference in practical use.

[MrJamesfisher]

Gerald! Just found your videos last week, they’re awesome, a breath of fresh air. Love your level-headed and alternative angle on this one. Useful info beautifully demoed. Stay classy 👍

[thedondeluxe]

By far the most informative and factual video on this camera I've seen so far. Great job!

[marcotschilar]

Good Video, I really wasnt aware of that, cause nobody was speaking of it. Nice one and I like the Video cause is not too long. Cheers, continue like this

[fishinthemax]

I liked. I subscribed! Refreshing approach. I’ll be checking out previous videos and glad your channel was a suggested view on the YouTube sidebar banner !

[GavinDavidson]

Nice review. Good delivery. Just subscribed.

[benharris]

Subbed. Solid video, no hype, just a well thought out look at some of the deeper features 👍

[johnhaynes]

Amusing :) As an existing Canon DSLR owner, the adapter is an obvious big plus, if I bought into this range I don't have to throw away or trade my existing lens collection. The other thing I too really like is the manual focus arrows because "back in the day" of wetfilm, we got things like split rings as focus aids but nobody has come up with an equivalent in digital technology until now.

[paulpatalano]

Nice presentation. Very nicely done. You stay on track with your topic and move on feature by feature. That's all I need to see. Thank you.

[mooreav]

great video as usual. WOW.. I really dig that focus assist tool with the triangles. No one else is talking about that. Very cool

[ishontz]

Dude. I am now smarter because of you. Incredibly informative and worthy of a comment. Keep doing what you do man. Great job
