Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “EOS R review: Canon joins the mirrorless race, for real”.
So I live in New York, City. And I live in San Francisco. And I’m more of an a7S or 35 millimeter type of shooter.. Also I’m the type of shoot who brings way too much gear to every shoot.. But whether you believe that mirrorless cameras are the only cameras, we’re gon na be using in the future, it’s clear that the competition in the mirrorless world is heating up..
It’S been Sony’s game for years, but now Canon has decided to play with the EOS R. Without a mirror system to reflect your frame up to the eyepiece. Mirroless cameras can be more compact and faster., And the electronic viewfinder can show you exactly what your shots gon na look like before you even come close to hitting the shutter. Canon has put up mirroless before with he M line, but has a smaller APS-C sensor..
But the EOS R has a full frame: 30 megapixel CMOS sensor and some pretty flashy RF mount lenses to go with it. Flashy, but a bit limited with two primes and two zooms, but Canon did get a little creative with these. [ Vjeran ]. All of these lenses have a control ring on it..
It can be customized to settings such as ISO shutter, speed, aperture and more. [ Becca ], But instead of having image stabilization integrated right into the camera body, such as Sony, does they decided to put it into the lenses. [ Vjeran ]? That means it depends on which lens you’re, using whether or not it’s stabilized and the majority of existing lenses are not. Body-wise. It’S pretty similar to most Canon cameras. It even keeps the same batteries that a lot of Canon, DSLRs have..
It has very similar button, layouts and a familiar menu system, but what they’ve added is this multifunction bar.? You can’t push the button in, but you can set it to do many different functions.. It has a moveable touch screen that cal flip around for logging, with a touch and drag autofocus system as well., But in order to actually test this thing, we should go out there and shoot. Blessed..
What do you got? I hear you’ve been hating the subway lately. So I want to rekindle your love.: Why don’t you test the video quality in the depths of the New York City, subway system., I’m really interested in this third ring on the lenses.. I want to know if it’s gon na make you a faster shooter if it’s just easier., Why don’t you head to like the skate park and test those things? Out., (, relaxing hip, hop music, ), (, upbeat, music, ), Hey V, so what’s the vibe? Let’S talk! Autofocus first. Yeah, let’s dive in. [ Vjeran ], So I think it’s one of the best ones I ever used. It’s super fast.
It was very reliable and accurate, even in low light, and it’s very customizable., Maybe too customizable Yeah. That is an interesting thing about this. Camera is that it’s so familiar button-wise and menu-wise, but then extremely different in such minute ways that it really can throw you off.
Yeah. I, when I grabbed it, I was like. Oh, I know exactly what this is’cause I’ve been shooting Canon most of my life, but once you actually like try to do the things that you’re comfortable with you realize that a lot of the things actually changed and you need to adjust a bit.. I think another way that it’s like super different in a minute way is like this whole extra ring on the lens.. I quickly got really used to it and was loving it.. I also love it.. I think it’s like one of the best things that came out in photography in general.. It’S already on the lens. It’S not too far on the lens, so you don’t have to like adjust your hand.. Alright, since you did more video, I’m curious.
Did you rely on the electric viewfinder or we’re you using the flip out screen, I’m a huge fan of being like really immersed in my camera.? I don’t really love it when other people are seeing what I’m getting so. I was all up in the EVF, but there was sometimes where I popped out that screen and it’s movement is so familiar to the C100 Mark II that I felt right at home.. The thing I will be nitpicky about is the 4K crop., And I know that you can, like you, know, plug it into an external recorder and get the full 10 bit 4K output, but, like I shouldn’t, have to do that if I’m paying $ 2,300 for a Body., That’s right., Also the body that doesn’t have image stabilization built into it.. So this video I shot 4K crop and I was holding in front of me doing like the selfie cam kind of look..
You can almost see the rolling shutter. In your defense, like the lenses that we got are massive. The bounds between the body weight and the lens weight. It’S just all over the place..
I can see your hand also just getting tired after a while., So the 5D Mark IV and the R have super similar sensors.. I mean the R is updated just a tad, but did you notice a difference in image quality at all Yeah? The image quality is similar to what you would get to 5D Mark IV, which is a good thing, because those photos are just great.. This camera is more about like getting used to the buttons and getting used to the redesign that Canon’s introducing in the mirrorless line. [ Becca ].
Okay, so would you put this camera in your kit? I think I would for Canon’s. First true full frame mirrorless camera. It’S a pretty good camera., The body’s smaller it fits everywhere. It still feels good.. Besides, you can also use your old lenses on it, which is a big plus. Yeah.
I guess my hold up here and why I don’t think I would get this version. Canon’S. Video. Definitely has drawbacks., I mean only being able to shoot 120 in HD and not full HD or especially not 4K is limiting.. And then, when you look at the a7S Mark, I that came out in 2014 like so much has changed in a short amount of years, and so I have this problem with buying the first version of any camera., And I think the most important thing here is That we’re seeing a blueprint of what Canon is going to do with the mirrorless line., Hey thanks so much for joining us.. This is kind of a new camera review sort thing we’re doing., Basically V and I just want to shoot more together. But let us know if you liked it.
Also, if you want us to review something else. Let us know in the comments. .
