Sensational review. Straight to the point with no BS. I’ve been tossing up for about a month on which to buy. Thank you. No need for any more reviews. Ordering the EOS r today. ✌️
In all honesty, I truly believe this to be very subjective. Being as I have played around with the 5D Mark IV, and own the R, it really comes down to user preference. Two cards are nice, but not a dealbreaker for some, and with the new mirrorless cameras having better performance and processing power than the predecessors, it seems that even with a single UHS-II SD card, it gets the job done perfectly with smaller form factor and less hassle. The capabilities of a UHS-II V90 or even a V60 is an absolute bargain allowing for the same functionality, and benefits from better reliability than say its former counterpart of a UHS-I V30 or an expensive Compact Flash. The 5D Mark IV, however, is an extremely reliable and very durable camera that has literally been standing the test of time to date.
I have owned both of these cameras and I agree with your findings entirely. The must frustrating part of the 5D4 was the raw buffer which SUCKED! On the EOS-R it's perfect.
Eos r is definitely better than the 5dmiv... But when push come to shove the dual slot card is crucial to any professional... As an owner of the R (not a pro)... I'm very happy with the R but bare in mind my livelihood doesn't depends on my R... If you're a pro and considering one of these camere I will always recommend the 5dmiv...
@@videomaker Not needed but advisable.. if a card fails you have a copy on another card. Imagine doing a wedding and a card corrupted or something. So it's handy to write the files to both cards for important stuff. Also, it's a time saver. For personal or less important things, You can set it so JPGs write to the SD and Raw to to CF. Then you can do a quick upload of the jps for the client to preview and still have a a card in the camera ready to shoot. Just pop the SD card out and in to the card clot on my laptop and I'm done. That's why "pros" might use them. Not sure why you put 'pros' in inverted commas. 😂
Thanks so much video helped a ton you didnt lie, last and only video I needed to see. Getting my eos r soon...thinking of waiting since i know a new one comes out this year which mean this eos r will go down in price
Very good video. I might get one of these but it is a long term investment so got four additional questions. 1) I want to know that if we use EF lens on EOS R then is there any cropping, just like there is cropping when we use EF lens on APS-C censor? 2) Also was the video quality same for same EF lens when using on 5D Mark IV and EOS -R? 3) When mounting EF lens with EOS-R using adapter, will the bigger lens hold on tightly like 100mm Macro or even bigger ones like Telephoto ? 4) Are both bodies same in terms of material and durability.
Let me share my thoughts on your question number 2. Using EF lens on EOS R there is much gab between the lens and the sensor and using the RF lens is much closer to the sensor so you get sharper image than Using EF lenses on EOS R
I use both cameras on a regular basis. Pros and cons for each, and they actually sort of compliment each other (if you like having two camera bodies. I do). Although it looks like Canon will release an R body this year that will displace both of these.
got all the answers I needed! But the question is why does Mk4 still cost more than EOS R being said that it has lot more better features and wins in most categories?
In studio work like packshots I find Canon 5D Mk Iv much better. With Canon R I had to change battery every 2,5- 3 hour and also its change focus when battery die. Canon 5D 4 can work 5-6h on one battery, don't change my focusing point when battery die. Also this eye sensor whn you shoot ecomm pictures and need to sometimes use camera cover with paper ot other fabrics doesn't works good. Its on and off constantly. When you use EF lens 24-105 with adapter and shoot one hand like I do very often grip is too small and center balace (camera + lens) is too much to the front . I work with Canon R for 10 days ( 8-9h in the studio) and I find it usles and not for me. I purchase cano 5D Mark IV which had better grip, battery performnce works longer and when you change lens or battery camrea is not change the focus .
Great input. It's important to understand the reason the focus point changes, It is because mirrorless cameras offer focus by wire and when not on, they don't keep the same focal point. That is a difference for all manufactures not just Canon. You will experience this when comparing any DSLR to a mirrorless camera.
I received a Canon 5d iv camera last week, but a lot of people said I sell the camera and buy a better Canon R. Is it worth selling the 5d iv and taking the R, I hope you will answer me very confused?
the difference between the price , and the quality of photos depends only on your capabilities , do not be influenced by the reviews of people who make money on it !!!
Thanks for the video, the review is fair enough. I use Canon 5d iv for so many years and now I got my eos R as well for about 2 weeks. But somehow after using mk iv for so long, i still luv this camera especially for birding. Eos R is much lighter compare to mk iv but battery runs out so fast. For me both are great cameras👍
Great vedio, love the details and the testes that are really standardize test in this field. All people will wined about is a dual card slot. Jus ensure u have more than one card and by real cards and not cheap cards
Thanks for this helpful comparison regarding the video capabilities of these two cameras. I'm looking to upgrade for video purposes and am coming from a Canon EOS system, so I appreciate hype-free reviews like these.
@@santiszibergs1116 I don't use the burst mode much (We shoot youth sports tournaments and sell onsite, so we try not to take a ton of shots), but how is it in AF speed?
@@santiszibergs1116 I'm not asking about servo AF. I am asking about the speed of standard autofocus. I just said I don't use burst mode (and that is when A/I Servo kicks in
our best guess is that removing the mirror and connecting parts and the reduction in size of the camera would reduce the price. Another thing to consider is what a full frame camera cost when the R was announced, they had to keep it within what the market would pay.
Because the EOS R is not their pro level mirrorless, probably the R5 is based on it's specs and the rumor that there will be no 5D mark V. The 5DIV was released in 2016, it was a similar price to the R5 when it was released.
Professional photographer will choose 5d mark iv because of 2 card slot and FPS ..wildlife and sports photographers will choose 5d mark iv over eos r ..that is only reason why it’s is expensive .
Magenta and green color banding at the 4 minute mark and 7 min 20 sec mark compared to color banding with 5D mark iv and Sony Air iii . here's the video link showing comparison : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IwUHBolbCbU.html
Don P The Eos R has better lowlight performance, is weather proofed just like the 5D, and has better auto focus accuracy, period. You’re just salty my man 🙃
Videomaker that’s true, the price is better. I just couldn’t help to think the price of the RF lens is higher than EF. Will price range still be an advantage after gear up everything?
Another Sony fanboy huh? A7iii may be better on paper, but in the real world, the EOS R has better usability, better build quality and offers things that help pros get the shot in an instant, like well designed menus and a top display. Not to mention, the RF lenses absolutely wipe the floor with anything Sony offers.
