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....

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!

Gerald Undone I’m curious about the data rate of the EOS R, 480Mb/s seems like great quality on paper. Have you compared it to GH5 400Mb/s in 8bit? In theory, it should be cleaner, with no artifacting (like Sony mirrorless), but I suspect it doesn’t compete with GH5/GH5s. Maybe the 8bit still has artifacts or maybe the EOS R with recorder 10bit ProRes competes? I’m guessing 2019’s Canon 5R will replace the 5D iv with every feature missing from the EOS R & 2020’s Canon 1RX will replace the 1DX. I’m still. it sure would ever release a video-centric mirrorless, like the Panasonic S1 or the a7siii. Canon previously released their 8k sensor; I just think everyone else will release their 6k & 8k mirrorless & mini cinema cameras first. The EOS R is a mirrorless 6Diii, & a great upgrade from 6Dii and 5Diii; although I’m still on the fence. Fuji XT3 has stolen my heart though (for video); FF 30Mp vs APS-C 26Mp (for photography) :/ (Can I wait 3months for Panasonic to release their full specs? (Why I don’t sleep). Solution: Make more money, buy everything.

Two things: if you use an EF-S lens, it brings the resolution down to 10mp - which I think you gloss over too quickly. Second thing, which is more a question... using the d-pad for focus point is well and good, but my M5 can be set to use the screen as an AF trackpad while looking through the EVF (which I find way more useful than trying to use the d-pad). Is this functionality absent from the EOS-R? Thanks for a unique and positive perspective, and not the constant whining that other reviewers have done.

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.

I don't think any system is worth changing into if you are already an established photographer with gear. It basically goes down to button placement, grip, and weight. Honestly I don't know why people nit pick about these things. As far as actual sensor performance goes. The Sony BSI sensors in the Sony and Nikon cameras are clearly superior but honestly not by much. I wouldn't lose sleep over it at all. Yes Canon doesn't have IBIS and that does kinda suck but once again I wouldn't sell glass over it. You can just use stabilized glass. However for new users or people who want to swap. The new Canon mirrorless offering is definitely the weakest of the bunch. The Sony A7III is still going to eat it for breakfast.

@@SourDonut99 Dear Ian, I think the point you make about new users and the Sony A7III still being the one to beat is absolutely right because for now it really is. Canon clearly hasn't got the processors currently to match and I think it will take them about 3 iterations to get to equal bearing in mind that Sony won't be standing still in the meantime. However and despite all the fuss, does it really matter ? Talking in UK £s, I really don't see £2,000 + for a body a "starter" camera, half that or less is most likely closer the mark. As to why "less than half price" it is simply that currently the most expensive phones which the majority of people use for photography are around £1,000 and the average punter will see them as more "useful" and flexible than a camera that only does one thing and isn't available with a calling plan thrown in for a set monthly amount. :)

Love that focus guide! It's way more practical than peaking on a small display. I wonder how they're achieving that guide in terms of precision and how "linear" the reference is to the movement of the focus ring on different lenses, because it would be so much easier to develop muscle memory once you get used to the lenses.

just tested this camera today. Pure joy to use, so easy and a breeze to set up and take pictures. Very responsive and an excellent EVF. However, I just felt that it's tad bit slow in shutter response, compared to what we are used to now in camera of this price range. Knowing what Canon is capable of, I just felt that this is just a testing model for something more finished and "pro" waiting in line. All said and done, this is still an EXTREMELY CAPABLE camera and the new lens is DIVINE. Thats the only word to describe it. The resolution it renders, and the colors are so so so good plain out of the box. Feel like a cut from Arri Alexa.

Excellent Video. Manual Focus guide is excellent. Now people like me with old eyes can accurately manually focus without having to rely on magical pixie dust. Deeper customization of the display screens so I can control what information I want to see, and low price adapters that will work for all existing EF lenses. This is what a review is suppose to be. Instead of just saying what something can not do, mention positives and maybe other camera companies will say, "Hey, people like that feature in Canon, (or any other brand), maybe we should do it". Keep up your great work.

It also didn’t have a flip screen, which makes it nearly impossible to film well when on a gimbal. I sold it and got me the EOS R. The best camera from Canon after the R5 and R6. It has so many new technology features that you won’t find in DSLRs. Also, I love the feature in the R when you can switch from video to photo while keeping the different settings. I hated to change all the settings again on the 5D when switching to video and vice versa.

I like this method of reviewing (what gets praised gets repeated), because if Canon scraps every good idea just because the market response rejects the whole package then they'll go back to being non-innovative, and I think they're at their best when they try and fail and stumble on something cool, like putting the ND filter BEHIND the lens so you don't have to buy one for each lens. It seems like if they offered what youtubers are asking for: Flippy screen, small body, 4k with no crop, mic input, two card slots, dual pixel autofocus, EF lens compatibility, and body for $1,000...that KZitemrs would buy the crap out of that.

The manual focus assist feature on the EOS R is nice in how comprehensive it is as a focus aid. I'm jealous! The adapter mounting both EF and EF-S lenses is convenient for the EOS R video. For other companies, specifically Nikon with FX/DX and Sony with FE/E lenses, the full frame cameras have always been able to mount the APS-C lenses. Canon had the restriction, I believe because the EF-S lens would get too close to the full frame mirror, so obviously the mirrorless camera can drop the restriction.

This was a great video! I loved your positive nature and mentality of positively reinforcing Canon - if you emphasize the good, hopefully they’ll keep doing it. This middle school teacher approves! And you earned a subscriber. ☺️👍🏻

D pad to move your focus point? You can use the touch screen by setting the bottom right to control your focus point. You just move your thumb around while looking through the view finder.

So the EOS-R comes with a built-in Atari game... :P Nice review, u deserve way more views and followers 👍🏻 the XT3 has a sweet octagon prism kinda weird name for a manual focus but seems interesting, like retro cameras

Ha. Exactly! Thanks, mate. And yeah, I've used that function on the X-T3. I personally didn't find it that useful, but I see what they were going for. Reminded me of film cameras a bit.

I thought that those two methods sounded similar, too. Gerald, I wondered if you could you expand on why the Fuji prisming doesn't seem that useful, yet the Green Arrow(tm) does? :) P.S. I'm also very interested in any info on manual focus with the upcoming L-mount cameras (in due time, of course;)

Thank you for this (long after the fact)! Useful information, for a camera that is actually very convenient to use, and actually makes some really nice image quality.

The focus guide is the only feature I feel like I'm missing out on (for my personal use cases) by having the RP instead of the R

I dont know if you've tried using the touch screen to pick focus during EVF use, but I personally really enjoy it. I find it faster than a joystick now that I'm getting used to it. Thanks for sharing the tips and your thoughts!

I wanted to buy this camera, but was hesitant because it's the first generation of Canon's full frame mirrorless cameras... since the price is getting cheaper, I will be buying it soon. Your videos are informative and help with my decisions. Thank you for sharing... Keep doing that, Gerald Undone!

I love the manual focus box as well, and the focus peaking is great. I mentioned those things as some of my favorites features of the EOS R in my review. Nice video, I like your style Gerald.

You didn't mention Touch and Drag AF on the EOS R. When your face is against the viewfinder you can designate any corner or side of the screen you wish to remain sensitive for moving your auto focus point. This can be done in absolute, which I don't like because you can't easily go to the other side of the frame. Or, it can function more like a traditional joystick and is very responsive. On the M5 and M50 I found this to be very easy to get comfortable with in lieu of a proper joystick.

Nice. I’ve been saying the same thing about EF-S lenses and the RP body. I feel like people aren’t recognizing how valuable that is. When I started shouting on a rebel I gathered a few EFS lenses then when I moved to full frame that crop sensor kit mostly collected dust. Now that I’ve got the RP I’m using my 10-18 again and my little 24mm F2.8... I primarily shoot portraits so in the 85-135 range I have more serious lenses and the RP steps up just fine for basic portraiture, but slap on an EFS and it’s a fun little vloggy travelly camera. I really think that’s why canon made the RP, was not to compete with Sony but as a sort of “bus to the future” to entice and gather all of the rebel users and move them to RF. I also think they did a horrible job marketing it because nobody seems to understand that value you speak of. I’m actually buying an EOS R today and downgrading the RP to my backup because I kiss the robust feel of my 5Diii and want a little bit more substantial feeling camera, but pretty much everything you’ve named here is what made me sell my DSLR’s. I wasn’t willing to do that for Sony, even with their enticing features, because a whole system jump is huge and scary, but canon made mirrorless sooo seamless for almost every previous canon user- EF or EF-S.

You can also use the touch screen as a sort of joystick while looking through the VF by dragging your finger on the corner of the screen and choosing your focus.

Hey Gerald, things I think no one has done well yet of this versus the a7 series, *Low light video comparisons, *thorough slow motion tests, *ease of hybrid shoot

I like very much the focus guide for manual focusing in manual mode. And I think it be great for macro shooting it eventually the firmware upgraded to allow the camera to shoot automatically when the focus turns green.
