  1. one thing I slightly disliked about my EOS R, is that the top display keeps displaying even when turned off.
    And the laggyness of the EVF can also be an issue if you are shooting something that's moving quickly, I thought the R5 would be less of an issue since they have 120HZ refresh rate.

  2. Really curious… I've been looking for that typical Tony Northrup camera walk through for the R5, has Tony stopped doing these? The walk through on the 80D was what got me started following your channel and bought your guide to photography book…. hope he'll do one for the R5

  3. KEH is fast and easy, and you will get no better than half what you will get if you list it and sell it on Marketplace or Craigslist. I sold my Mark IV etc. and had no problem and it got more than twice what KEH would have offered. Maybe they offer you a better price. You don't usually recommend places that are not good deals. But they were really lowball with my stuff.

  4. I did wonder why they went with a 5 as essentially the flagship of their mirrorless lineup. Are they going to drop an R1? If not, are they doubling down on the "less bulky" thing, and thats why they dont give it the larger grip profile with greater battery of, say, the 1D<whatever>? I feel like it would do much better with that massive extra bit, including cooling and battery. And maybe people won't like the size, but I'm the type to buy the battery grip anyway, so why not just integrate it?

  5. Unfortunately R5 is really bad for long exposure…. Anything more than 2 minutes is unusable…Too many hot pixels….On my Z7 I can go 10 minutes and no hot pixels. If you do long exposure this is camera is not for you…

  6. Normal boring photos and video. Auto quality is terrible, review is terrible, please do not try and do a wildlife review because I'm sure it will be just as bad as this video. I really don't know how this channel has survived as long as it has.

  7. Is it Canon dust protection really effective that much?
    When you are changing lenses, dust will enter in chamber between the lens and sensor and will stay there even after lens is put back. From that moment on dust inside have a chance to hit the sensor anytime. Unless shutter has brush for sweeping sensor every time it trigerrs.

  8. I noticed on my R5 that stuck pixels (or are they hot pixels?) appear whenever the shutter speed is set to below 1/10 sec with a black image (lens cap on), and get more evident the slower the shutter speed – most noticeable at 30 sec shutter. Any shutter speed above 1/10 sec and faster, they completely disappear. This leads me to believe perhaps they're hot pixels, not stuck pixels? Interestingly, they appear on the EVF and LCD even before taking a picture. Does anyone have this as well?

  9. one of the annoyances with the r5 (besides the inflated price and overheating) is that it needs to be customized much more heavily than a dslr to be enjoyable to use.

    If the body was alittle bigger it would allow an improved button layout. im still puzzled by the lack of a mechanical mode dial, no other camera company has removed it on their high end cameras. the electronic mode dial is a PITA to press – its just as bad as the touchbar imo.

    also BBAF feels a bit awkward due to the recessed feel of the AF on button, the info, Q and zoom buttons are a bit small and cramped (make sure you trim your fingernails before shooting). There are too many buttons on the right side of the camera, it just doesn't "feel" right to me. The camera will definitely produce great results but I can't help but feel the usability has been compromised. It feels more like an expensive consumer level camera than a professional tool like the 5d4.

    Canon seems to be prioritizing aesthetics and compactness over function and usability, and somebody there is making really bad design decisions. Its seems like the team that designed the pro DSLR bodies (5d4, 1dx3) had zero input for the RF bodies. The extending zoom mechanism of the rf 70-200 2.8 is too cumbersome for shooting sports.

    I'm curious to see the body design of the R1, the rumoured professional level body. if they get that right it would give me hope that things could change in the future bodies.

  10. I loved the Niantic dock photos, among others, and especially enjoyed Pixel’s cameos. This may sound odd, but shout out to B&H. I’ve shopped with them for decades but never in person and it is fun to see some of the actual people. Finally, I don’t get all the comments about switching systems. One of the main reasons for following this channel is to get Tony and Chelsea’s take on camera gear. It would be a bit limiting to review one body and three lenses over and over again. Plus, many people who are in a position to do so actually do own multiple systems, or change systems periodically. It keeps the industry alive and also provides quality used gear for the pre-owned market.

  11. I prefer the Sony system because of the option to use Sigma and tamron glass. The Sony 135mm is small, Sigma 85mm 1.4 DN is small, and most of the tamron lenses are also small. There is more small glass available for Sony then there is for Canon
