Canon R5 & R6 Review (vs Sony A7RIV vs A7III) 

Indeed....”Go out and shoot and stop watching camera reviews!” Best advice in a long while!

"All you have to do is go out and shoot and stop watching camera reviews"...lmao says the reviewer. Nice review. Appreciate the lack of fanboyism or clear bias any one way or another.

An absolutely terrific analysis. I really like your conclusion: they are all so good that you should choose the brand you like and then the camera you can afford. Well done, sir!

“Go out there and shoot...and stop watching camera reviews” epic finale!

Easily one of the best reviews I have seen in a very long time! Thank you so very much!

One of the best balanced, unbiased and down to earth overviews of these cameras I have so far seen on RU-vid! 🙏🏾

This is THE REVIEW!! Great job Ralph 🤗👍

Excellent explanation, the truth of all the reviews I saw, yours was the clearest by far, thanks to your video I decided on the Canon R5, I know that it will give me the quality I am looking for and longevity for the day I have to change it. Thanks again! good luck, very good your channel.

So glad I have subscribed to your channel. You were born to do reviews. Thank you. Now I am going to basically sleep and decide which one to buy later

Outstanding! Thank you for all the time and research you put into this.

Finally waiting for it from someone. Thank you for the comparison!!

Thank you so much for such an in-depth review, I was thinking of switching from my a7iii to the R5 because of all the people around me raving about great it is but you made me realize how similar they both are, the sony a7iii is such a good value at half the price that the R5 cost.

This is the best review of these cameras by far, especially the R5. No fluff, fancy editing, or loud music. This was purely honest and straight to the point. Fantastic review.

I would say one of the best review on these sets of cameras thus far. Also thank you for getting straight to the point. I'll subscribe.

You killed the review man, thanks for this!

Your reviews are the best. Practical, no nonsense. My R5 gets here next week. Can’t wait.

This is the best review I've seen in a while.

You are deserved to have much more subscribers with an excellent video like this. Keep it up!

I struggled soooo much to find a review of the best sonys vs mirorless canons and I couldn’t find any that compared all of them and their features without being completely biased ... until I ended up on your video. This is all I was looking for, everything is so well explained, every topic is named and compared, you talk facts, present evidences and I love your conclusion, thank you SO MUCH 🙏

Great review! Love my R AND my R5. Have been shooting with the R5 for about 2 1/2 months now, and it fits perfectly in my photo and video workflow. I have never had an overheating warning, and I shoot a lot of interview type footage and corporate stuff. The footage from both cameras works perfectly with the C100 and C200 footage we shoot as well. I love Canon’s ease of use, ergonomics, out-of-camera colours, and professional support - and glass! EF glass works natively on the Rs, and the RF glass is amazing! I also own Fujifilm, recently had Lumix, and shoot at work (day job) with a GH5, and C100/200 combo. I always bring my Canons though! So many great cameras to choose from! Just go shoot!

Wow it was absolutely incredible analysis . thank you so much

Excellent comparison, I was looking for this, thanks

This is really a superb review both in terms of presentation and content. Thank you very much!

Your comparison reviews are incredible and spot on. I highly agree with you on everything.

What a great visual review! Thank you for offering this.

Most professional tutorial on RU-vid. Thank you for sharing your experience. You answered all my questions. R5 !!!

Great review and comparison of the bodies. Thank you!

This is the video I’ve been waiting for

Best statement. R6 is a mini 1DX3 in a mirrorless body and half the price.

This has been the most educational video, it was key to see which camera to buy, thank you very much

Very informative and helpful review! Thank you!!

Amazing review and comparison. Thank you!

i love your videos....straight to the point

Excellent review and comparison. Thank you.

Slam, dunk! I just wish all reviews were up to this standard! Bravo!

Great review man, hats off

Brilliant, detailed and comprehensive review. Must have taken you a considerable amount of time to produce, thank you.

Nice review. Thanks. I find two things missing : IBIS performance and build quality/ durability

That conclusion at the end is far best advice that I've heard. 👏

Excellent review, Hyun. Thanks.

Great video as always!

Amazing in-depth comprarison very helpful

Very detailed and well-done comparison 👍👍.

Phenomenal review! Image quality and autofocus is so similar now it really comes down to camera bodies and functionality. I have an A7III. I love what it does and absolutely hate using it. Sony really needs to step it up with their bodies and functionality. Canon bodies are on a completely different level.

This was amazingly helpful, thank you!

Really appreciate you efforts and proper reviews rather than some silly things

Wooow! Excellent video man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

An interesting approach to the review. Thanks for the comparison.

Excellent, thorough and balanced review. Thank you. I bought the R5. It's got to be the best camera for Canon DSLR users moving to mirrorless. I was moving from the EOS R, A7R III and A7R IV cameras which can all be bought new for around half the price or less on the grey market. The Canon R5 was great with the RF 50mm F1.2L and RF 15-35mm zoom but I was disappointed by the sensor and the cost of that little RF system was over £7000! I actually preferred the R for the overall look and that was a surprise and a great disappointment. At the low ISOs I use I can't see much actual difference between the Canon R5 and Sony sensors. I really want IBIS so I ended up going back to Sony for value for money and the wider lens collection eg the DG DN Sigma lenses.

That end comment telling me to stop watching camera reviews made me laugh! All I’ve been doing. Thanks for the awesome video

Great comparison thankyou for your time and effort.

I so feel that end quote about go buying the camera you like and can afford, and stop watching camera reviews...was addressed at me. Lol great informative video

It's always about personal choice rather than who has the biggest or best

Good to know more about your review, but it is always the brand that you like the most. I like it, thank you.

Best video on the topic!

Super useful thx. :) Guess another upgrade from the R is the IBIS which is useful in low light / events work etc. I also wonder how well the 24-70 f4 resolves on high resolution sensors. Getting hold of (for example) a Sigma 50mm art that could be used on all bodies might help with resolution comparison. Thanks v.much for a super great vid.

Great review. Thanks!

Great review as usual! If I had Canon glass I would certainly go for one of them otherwise I think their prices are a little too high for my needs, especially the R6. They are both packed with features and very well designed, that’s for sure.

Great review, thanks! If Canon had put a 24-30mp sensor in the R6 it would be flying out the door. Amazing choices today!

This is the best review I ever seen about CANON R family and SONY. As you said, stop watching reviews and buy the brand you like most and ... go for shooting 😀

Thanks for putting this together. Best I have seen. If the R had IBIS I would get that as I don't do video much. R5 is serious coin!

Thumbs up; already subbed. Easy to watch for a longer review. RE the R6, seen some troubling reviews with autofocus (surprising to me) and color (red-yellow shift). Potato Jet among others is seeing some issues. Some of it might be due to backlighting. Have you seen any difference with the R6? Also, Panasonic's S5 seems very interesting, particularly for video. If you ever get your hands on one, it would be interesting to see that compared. Interesting comparison with 4K video with the R vs R5 & R6. I have the R and it seems it's video resolution is quite good when compared (also the Sony A7r4 which surprised me).

"If you need to ask, you probably don't need'. The BEST answer EVER.

Thanks for a thorough and straight to the point review! I’m wondering if the R6 can playback images whilst writing to the buffer after a long burst of stills? It’s something that’s slowed me down at events wanting to quickly check just-shot photos, and even affects a lot of recent models including 80D and 5D IV so if you can confirm if R6 can do that it would be greatly appreciated!

Great Review HRJ. The R still holds up against the coemption especially if you can purchase one for $1300-1400 (follow canon price watch). Better ergonomics and DR than the RP and more megapixels than the R6

Excellent review!

Good work Ralph!

This is another excellent review of all these cameras. Thank you so much. "Go out and shoot and stop watching camera views!" EPIC!

You know we were waiting for your review

Great review!

great review! but which one did you choose :)

thank you for the great review.

I have been watching reviews for a month can’t decide which one should I get for video I was confused in sony a7s3 n r6 but ur last line is the best that “don’t watch the reviews “ 😃

Great video man. Yep, I chose Sony over Canon not because of quality or anything like that but just because Sony lenses seemed to appeal much more to me than the current RF lens selection....the over heating had a factor as well in my decision.

Unreal video! thank you.

Nice review, willing to buy canon R6 for weddings .Is there any problem with IBP .what is the difference between IBP and All-i

A Very Objective Review ! Thanks.

Very helpful video! 👍

Perfect review. I am between r6, a7riii and a7iii. I will switch from 5dm3 with Canon glass. R6 is really good but mp count is low. I will use ef lenses with adapter to use eye AF. if I choose Sony, I have to buy e mount lenses to use eye AF. I will do only photography. Which one will be the best for me?

I really loved the review especially the photo side of it, regarding the R5 and R6 overheating you did not cover the topic as detailed as the rest of stuff (I understand that cause these tests are time consuming on another level), for example with 1.1.1 firmware the outside temperature influences more, to a degree where the overheat will not happened if the outside temperature is lower than 15 degrease C at all and its preventable with a external cooling device (small usb ventilator will do, until some third party solutions apear), also with the choice of using an external record device you can use it in 4kHQ mode without the overheating, external recording is something that happens often at professional shoots. Also the R6 has a better cool down times than the R6 and cools down while using 1080p modes and taking photos. Regarding sharpness in video R5 also has a 4K crop mode(close to super 35) that is a decent quality and similar to HQ mode regarding detail and it does not overheat. Still you got a subscriber, great content.

Very nice review!

Great Review!!

LOL ! "stop watching camera reviews" that's exactly right and stop upgrading and switching one to another. Thanks, Ralphy for the great review.

Great review

Very informative review, thanks. One thing I see which all the reviewers seem to do is compare cameras assuming ISO settings are equivalent between two cameras. I don’t believe this is true. Perhaps an alternative would be to auto ISO and vary shutter times, while examining histogram? In any event again great review, I like how you don’t sugar coat your assessments. Not interested in infomercials, prefer your approach!!

Awesome lengthy review Ralph! For the R6 is it better to use UHS-II cards or would it still be okay with UHS-I? The main issue probably towards the video side with the UHS-II, the photos can handle UHS-I think.

Interesting video, thanks to share it. Which of both Sony A7 IV and Canon R6 cameras would you suggest to buy to make 4K documentaries only (NO stills)? Thanks for your advice.

Absolutely one of the best comparison reviews out there, actually I've never seen anything as good. I wonder why Sony RAW files are so god damn huge compared to the Canon files.

Thank you for doing this comparison having the real cameras. I'm tired of imaginary reviews!

Thanks. Great review, I am looking to purchase either R5 or R6. How is R6 1080P and 4k normal video quality compared to R5? And what is R6 video recording time limit?

Great video! Just subscribed. Quick question. Do any of them overheat at 1080?

Not only is the A7R IV cheaper, 3rd party lenses are available - namely Sigma’s Art Series. They’re the sharpest lenses I have ever used, even when compared to Canon’s. And, they’re half the price.

Super cool video!

25:25 The best conclusion ever, and stop watching camera reviews

My burning question is EVF refresh rate: when I used a Canon R, the EVF could not keep up with the shutter speed (for example shooting sports). This created a situation where I lost sight picture of my subject as a result. My Olympus EM1.M3 EVF does not have this issue, do the newer R5/R6 have the same flaw as R?

Really Helpful Video

I've ordered last month, still waiting for mine

i wish you could have compared color science and upload some raw for us to play around

Thank you. You are best!

Can't wait to get mine and shoot! I will post some footage because all you can see on RU-vid are reviews...
