i'm honestly here just for the b roll, even if i got that camera i don't think i'm passionate enough to put in the work to get shot as good as these camera people 😂
I‘m now using my 2x R5 with 85L RF and 28-70L RF since release (5 months)....and those combos are INSANE. The R5 is the camera I’ve been waiting for years and i‘m very satisfied.
I thought I'd give it a day or two after the launch before commenting. I've used Canon since the Eos 1 was out and still use a 5D MkII. Canon have been upfront about the possibility of overheating in 8K. It's easy to critisise, nothing is perfect but Canon have produced a camera as an amazing piece of tech. The professionals that use 8K will know it limitations in this area and work around it. It's still not tested properly yet in the field. Instead of sniping every new product that comes out from any manufacturer, we should appreciate the hours of research the engineers do to allow us the opportunity to use this kind of camera. I have friends that are press photographers who used to use 36 exposure film for soccer games on manual on a Scottish winters night and still get amazing shots. We're lucky to have all the bells and whistles that todays cameras have. Well done Canon, Nikon, Sony etc for pushing the boundaries.
Thanks for a great video. “Holy grail” is the most accurate assessment I’ve heard thus far. Been a Canon shooter my entire life. Started out with the A-1 back in 1982, EOS 630 (1989), 5DM3, and 5Ds. While I was considering the 5DM4 as my next camera, I decided to just go for it with the R5. This thing is simply the perfect camera.
Seeing Peter do so well in his career really makes me happy. Makes me feel like there's a tribe that I belong to and that tribe is doing amazing things.
@@matthewjroberts90 Well at at least he has an audience that wants to see him make more content. With the way you express yourself not even your mom wants to hang out with you.
I took a long break from photography but getting back in it this year professionally. My next camera will be the EOS R5 Mark II. Right now I use the 5D Mark III and those cameras are still extremely good. So many cameras have come out since then. Great image quality can be had from almost any camera these days. The main thing I look for are features that allow me to have full control and to do things as quickly as possible.
As someone who shot rock concerts in the late 1960's early 1970's, did my own film developing and printing, sold prints in music stores, todays technology continues to blow my mind.
Me too... I wish I had my current R back in the 90's shooting shows in Seattle. My keeper to time spent ratio just keeps getting better and better with newer and newer tech.
I didnt understand anything when I first started watching peter years ago, but his videos are dope and now I'm a professional videographer. ❤ keep watching you may find your passion
No brainar question! How can you possibly record audio at over 4 times normal speed in relation to playback? The pitch would have to change! Ever tried playing back audio tape at wrong speed? or are you too young to remember 😎
Sergei Anatolyvich oh Sergei, pulling through ole you might be too young card. Some of these cameras can actually film high frame rates and audio. I know it’s hard to believe... or you might be too old for this new Technology. 😂 I’m joking around lol
@@SergeGolikov You misinterpreted my question. My Sony a7iii records at 120fps WITH AUDIO so that if I want to play it back in regular speed, I have that option. So my question was asking if this camera also records audio, or if it *only* does slow motion playback... I record sports videos, so it's nice to have the ability to play things back in real time, or slow it down
After my initial watch I almost pre-ordered. Then I remembered we still don't know if this camera is actually good yet (well, how good rather). A lot of issues are surfacing including banding issues in several videos, not to mention overheating. Hopefully this is what we've been waiting for and any issues can be fixed through firmware updates. Will wait till end of the year to make a decision on this one (already waited this long, what's a few more months?) 🙃
Love how excited he is about this camera. Although I'm not impressed. a lot of points he makes are already in other cameras. The 8K RAW is great, but I've already heard a lot of issues on overheating, and bugs. We'll have to see when the camera is actually released. As of right now, I'll stick to my Xt-3. I already get my hybrid cinema camera for 1/4 the price.
Feel like I just discovered some hidden treasure - here while it's unlisted! Thanks for always uploading quality, educational and entertaining content, Pete. I know it's not easy, so thank you for all that you do for us creators.
The only question I have for this is about the over heating.... I fully understand that it overheats on 8K, and 4K-120. What about regular 4K-24/30 or 4k-60?? Is it overheating on those as well?
According to the canon, it will overheat regardless of what video format you shoots in, it's just how long you have before it overheats and you have to shut it completely off to cool down.
Pete, I really liked to hear your comparison to past "industry" milestones. Your passion is contagious. Would love to hear more of your thoughts about other milestones and how they affected you in your career. Thanks, as always, for the great content.
PETER YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I am only a 12 year old filmaker but still you are an inspiration for me with all your cinematic vlogs and movies. Thanks for keeping it up even during quarantine!
great camera and tech, nice to see canon back on top form. out of my price range but amazing to see the tech available, can only get better from here on.
When Pete said “So I’ve had this camera for about three months now,” I had to scroll down to double check if I was actually watching his video or Marques 😂
Looking at this camera as a potential next step after my Canon 70D breaks. I've had that since it came out and still going strong. Things I love about Canon, the durability!
Contemplating a switch from my Sony A9; I was on the Canon site ogling the 1DXm3, as I got this R5 video notification. Now in a short 13 minutes and 20 seconds, I’m ready to sell part a kidney and someone else’s first born, for a Klondike bar...and an R5. Not sure I’ve looked forward to a new camera as much as this one. Doesn’t just meet my expectations for what I want in a mirrorless camera, it knocks it so far out of the park the balls in a different zip code. Thanks for your efforts as always Pete, and the amazing timing of this R5 video!
1:30, yep man, feels like yesterday. The 5DII was what gave me the flexibility and capability to engage with starting my wedding business and while recent world events have put things slightly on hold, I do hope that the R5, barring any overheating concerns whether in pre or post production will still enable me to take that huge step forward yet again. Edit. Your video is fantastic and really still gives me peace of mind that this is going to be a stellar product, potential video issues notwithstanding.
This is why I am soooo inlove with this guy. You make the most best (yes that's intended) entertaining review on everything! Cheers Peter! ♥️ As for the camera, dope. Totally fascinated! I would really have to save a looooot more money than I thought 😅😂
Awesome overview! I am glad to hear how realistic your approach is to overheating issue. I already have seen few disappointed opinions addressing overheating but I think it is important to have realistic expectations matched with understanding of physical engineering and limitations, and you addressed it very well. For someone who needs to film constantly at 120fps in 4K, than there is a reason why cinema cameras are built the way the are. Thanks for you review!!!! Awesome.
@ Don't think they have any chance at competing especially looking at the RF mount and its lenses. even with a new body, Sony can not create lenses like the RF ones with the current mount

@@Seitenwerk Sony has a lot more lenses in the pipeline of itself and third-party providers, in addition, there is definitely a new sensor installed, I think technically Sony has had the lead for years, it will remain exciting whether they will provide an answer, at least on a technical level . I am in good spirits. ;) but yes 8K in 12bit and RAW is a Statement =D
This is the first canon camera in a very long time that I've been excited about. I hope it lives up to all the hype and isn't handicapped like previous versions have been. I'll wait to see. Will be interesting to see what SONY comes out with next. Almost every time canon has something exciting SONY smashes it.
You mentioned Reverie and I got so nostalgic... I remember watching that on Vimeo and getting so pumped about where things were going and what was possible
Are you a Panasonic ambassador? Canon? Sony? Nikon? If NOT, you couldn't possibly understand why as an AMBASSADOR / CANON USER Peter is psyched for this CANON and NOT YOUR PANASONIC. It's not about being FIRST all the time.
Cannon's always impressed me! No noise! Post production is a breeze - you don't have to do much to improve the image. I've always shot NIKON'S D810 D610 and started with a D200. Now I shoot almost exclusively with cell cameras! I use a Motorola one hyper 60 MP 🤳 resolution and do my post production if needed right on the cell with Adobe and Adobe Mix for collages and graphic effects/images. Cellphone cameras are becoming so powerful and are so good for candid and street photography it's almost made the high end SLR obsolete. I think SONY just came out with a powerful compact 100 MP 📷 that has again up the anti on HD and features. I remember when digital was still trying to catch up to the resolution of analog. Technology marches on - the speed of it's evolution is remarkable.
Imagine you had taken a second job, part-time at a mere $10/hr working only 15 hr/wk. Suppose 2/3 of the gross pay could be saved. If you did that 39 weeks ago, you'd have the $3900 for an R5 body. Throw in funds from your primary income, work more hours, and/or at a better wage and the time is correspondingly decreased.
As a Canon user since the 80’s , currently using. 5D mkIV and 5DSR bodies I do not shoot lots of video. I was hoping for a camera that was great for landscapes. It feels like landscape photographers are being left behind but do not want to ‘jump ship’ like many other photographers have done over the years. I’m hoping the tests/ reviews show me it’s a worthy investment 😊
No worries mate, that's how the market works - someone have to push the boundaries... This time is Cannon, but in the past Sony, Panasonic and other brands made significant pushes as well. Don't worry, Sony will give a response to this just as all other major brands that want to stay on top of this game.
@@wildechap And especially with the Rf mount and the RF lenses. I don't think there are comparable lenses on the market at the moment. And as long as the other brands don't update their mount to something comparable, they wont be able to produce lenses like that. But I don't think the will do. Canon took the chance with the release of a while new system (R) which was the perfect timing and added complete backwards compatibility. Other wont be able to to that so easily without a big system change.
WOW, he is worshiping to canon, I know that he likes to use canon, I believe everyone should use what they are like and comfortable with there is no problem with that, but making the disadvantages of the camera looks cute, makes you unbelievable.
The temperature issues can be mitigated somewhat by using the battery grip, as the battery being right next to the memory card (which also gets hot when shooting 8K) is yet another heat source.
Not a single complaint on price please for exactly the same camera we pay $8k in Australia more than double the US PRICE which would only make sense if your dollar was twice as strong as ours which it’s not and that’s without even an sd card thrown in
Wow! Your excitement reminds me of the day I was the proud owner of the 5Dm2 with two great L glass lenses. I was breathless and this experience seems like it might be that x2 or x3, heck maybe even x4. I’m thrilled. Thank you!!!
That's the camera i started with. Its a great tool in the beginning phase and with magic lantern installed pretty decent. It was a big deal to me to have scopes and all the other features it gave me.
I cannot wait to get my hands on this. It will be the game changer piece of gear of my career thus far. Lifelong Canon shooter but they haven’t pulled their weight on video in the last few years with DSLR’s so I have been shooting video on Sony. Finally I can switch back to photo and video canon only 💗
This camera rapidly overheats and shuts down when shooting 4K 60 and 30. Another major problem is that file sizes are huge and exceed cine cameras e.g. latest C300 and C500 iterations. Unless you are very wealthy, there is no way you are going to be able to afford a high-powered computer and quantity of peripherals needed to cope. As a Canon ambassador should you not be open about these very compromising issues? Based on your endorsement people, will rush to pre-order this machine without fully realising what they are getting themselves into!! There's a responsibility which comes with having a large following on RU-vid and might I suggest you act in accordance with that responsibility.
Ooooh! Exciting stuff here, that camera is just... Damn. They smashed the specs on this one. Ah, the classic overheating problem... That's such an annoying thing to have (Sony shooters knows Haha!).
@@TaipeiGeek unfortunately yes, overheating was a huge issue when I shot with the A6300 and A7RII, it was a pain in the ass to have to wait all the time to be able to shoot 😑...
