Canon EOS R8 in Japan | 4K Sample Footage w/ Kit Lens 

Thank you so much :,)

@@Soersha want this luts

That is super cool to hear, I’m so glad I could help! Thanks for watching :) Also, the location is the mall in Tokyo that houses Tsutaya Books.

Hey can you share the exact setting. I've only kit lens ​@@Soersha

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! All the settings are shown at the end of the video :)

Thank you so much for the kind words, I appreciate it! :) As far as video settings, I adjust it with each new environment, but generally I try to keep my ISO and f-stop as low as possible and keep my shutter speed between 1/50 and 1/300. If it's really sunny then I would raise the f-stop as needed and if it was dark I would do the same with ISO. It's all a balancing act! I hope that helps!

With on an off filming, 1 battery lasted me about 2 days. And it was all handheld! :)

Absolutely. The r50 is a great little camera to film all that stuff!

You are so welcome! There was really no overheating problem and it was delightfully light to carry around. My sister is the bees' knees! Plus she is single and ready to mingle ;)

She comes with her own camera, haha? I bought the R8 body and this lens separately and still waiting on the camera to arrive. All I know from personal experience is this lens is really light. This video gives me confidence that it's going to be a nice walk around camera compared to my DSLR. The R8 is a replacement for my Canon M5 and 5D Mark III, but still want to hold on to the 5D for sports, but might not once I play arround with L glass, if I do get rid of the 5D III I might get some RF L lenses, ill use a converter for the EF lenses for now and this lens for compact mode. @@Soersha

I did not love the kit lens so I would just buy the body and get a different lens!

Correct!

Lol you're welcome!

That is my film camera! The Canon EOS Rebel G and Canon EF 24-70mm.

Thank you, I appreciate that! I didn't notice any overheating or battery problems.

Thank you so much! I use Forestry Film LUTS.

@@SoershaI am in love of the natural colors. Can you please share the link to the LUTS? I cannot seem to find it

I want to!

You are quite welcome! And it was incredibly hot, but I surprisingly didn't notice any big overheating problems.

thank you so much! :)

Aw, thank you so much! :)

Thank you! It definitely was :)

Thank you! It is a Forestry Film LUT.

@@Soersha Thank you so much!

A 50mm would have been too tight of a lens for me! I just went to Spain with the RF 28mm and it was perfect. Thank you and thanks for watching! :)

Thank you so much! I hope you're enjoying your camera. And yes, I used a LUT.

@@Soersha do mind if I ask which lut? One of your own or did you purchase it?

Autofocus wasn't great when I used it. Could be a lens problem, who knows!

@@Soersha yes, who knows..

The r8 does not have in-body image stabilization. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

It is a very compact lens! Not sure if the firmware was the problem with the autofocus, but you're right, low light was definitely an issue.

I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching! :)

Thank you! Yes, it is all handheld and I am self-taught! :)

I use Forestry Film's LUTs

right!?

Thanks for watching! A 10mm focal length will definitely warp your images around the edges.

@@Soersha thanks but i was asking about the general resolution of the image

It truly is! :)

@@Soersha after seeing you I bought one and I got it at $840 it is a awesome deal yes or not?

Thank you! This is where I got the LUTS, but it seems they don't sell them all the time: www.forestryfilms.com/ Try contacting them to get more info!

@@Soersha got it. thanks

Thank you and thank you for watching!

No gimbal or tripod!

Thanks!

I charged it every other day

Thank you! And yes, manual exposure

どういたしまして！

I rented the camera so I don't have the settings anymore, but I started posting the settings at the end of my new videos. I'm sorry!

Kanazawa, Kyoto, Kawaguchiko & Tokyo!

just the standard picture style

Thank you! And no, just standard profile

@@Soersha are you serious this STANDARD profile? god damn i though its 10 bit clog... this looks really great, i mean REALLY

@@Promikes It is standard with a LUT! And thank you!

​@@Soersha which lut used?

ありがとう！

Thank you so much and you are quite welcome! :)

I like some of Canon's kit lenses, but not this one!

The goal of this video was to show a sample of what the r8 & the kit lens that Canon designed for the r8 are both capable of. Upgrading to a professional lens is, of course, always an option if that aligns with your goals!

what lens would you recommend?

@@mirsthy rf 50mm f 1.8 is quite good for starter very versatile

@@Soersha trust me i have lot of friend who bought expensive body and paired it with kit lens, and disappointed by the result and ended up not using the camera

For video shooting, stabilization is required, which the lens has. The video is great. The lens worked much better for video for its price. Do not recommend 50 mm without a stabilizer - the result will be worse. Then already 35 mm 1.8

You're quite welcome! Can't go wrong with it!

Thank you so much! And it was my pleasure!

Canon should just burn this kit lens, eh?

Looks great!

It looks great. You just have to know the strength and weaknesses of your gear. At the end of the day its just a tool. Btw love all your footages in Japan. Hopefully I could buy a camera like this in the future with the RF 50mm 1.8 -that would be a perfect combo. ❤

@@Soershadon’t let them bother you! Your footage looks great. It is the output that matters not the gear.

The 50mm doesn‘t have stabilization. 35mm f1.8 would be great but a bit more expensive.
