Hey FilmJammers, we just got in our canon EOS R we're really excited to take a look at it
I've seen a lot of reviews online, but now we've got it in our hands
so we're gonna do an unboxing and
We're also going to do a little first look. I'm a Canon 5d Mark 3 owner, also a Sony A7S Mark 2 owner
So this is an interesting new camera for Canon as their first mirrorless offering, full-frame. We're not gonna go too in depth right now
We're gonna do a full review next week. So keep a lookout for that. Right now, Let's unbox!
There she is folks the old EOS R. Let's see what's inside
This also takes the same batteries as the Canon 5d Mark 3, which is nice that LP e6 N batteries
We've got a USBC cable here, instruction manual
It also comes with a battery charger for the LPE 6N batteries, and they forgot to put the camera in. There's just plastic. Oh
Hold on, hold the phone!
Yeah, It's got a really good feeling in the hand it's a bit lighter than the Canon 5d Mark 3. This is your sensor here
It's got a flip-out screen on it, which is really nice. The screen has a really nice glossy
Look to it really sharp looking, you're of course missing the standard joystick that's on the 5d Mark 3 and almost all other Canon
DSLR cameras that have come out in the last few years
But they do have some new buttons including this customisable control here and you're also gonna be able to attach
Adapters that let you adjust iris or set custom settings. Let's get a lens on this mother!
We've got the adapter here, which you have to purchase separately
So this is a hundred dollar adapter lets you put EF lenses on
Because this is the new R mount on the camera. The adapter comes in a nice little pouch here
boom boom boom
So that is the EF to R mount adapter. Pretty lightweight a little bigger than I thought
But um, that's the adapter. I'm gonna try it on right now
It's got a very tight feeling when you attach the adapter so it's not moving around at all
It's very solid in feeling. So I'm gonna use one of my favorite lenses
This is the canon 50mm 1.2 prime lens It's an EF. It's an L lens. It's really nice
You can get some really nice shallow depth of field
Let's take the lens hood off
So it's got a good feel does bring your lens out about inch and a half off your camera body there
Which is a little different than I'm used to but still feels pretty good in the hand. Got the screen on very nice
Swivels out and you can look at yourself, you know if you're so inclined to do a selfie, taking those selfies with mom
Really cool flip out screen. It's got really nice color on it. It seems bright from the first look at it. Alright
Well, let's take some quick little pictures
So a really cool feature is the autofocus on this camera
It's got a lot of tracking points and you're able to touch the screen and actually focus on what you're touching
So boom I'm touching here and it's focusing over here now. When I go back here
And I'll focus here just touch the screen. It's really easy. It's really cool
And the other nice thing is the face tracking for the autofocus
So I'm gonna point the camera up here at our camera guy
This is Lucas and he's gonna walk around and kind of just we're gonna show you how the face tracking worked on the camera
So, yep, go ahead
Still in focus very nice. It's following him. He's gonna go behind something and
Stayed with him there. Very nice. You got a good wink
So oh and you came back and inside of the C stand
Still in focus. This guy's still in focus right now. Go back over to your camera there
Keep looking at us. Okay it lost it when he turned away and he's back now
I want to see if we can get it to to lose focus
Still still staying. It's actually still staying with him here
Pretty cool. So it's actually knows that his face is turning. It's still staying with them. So pretty cool
Alright kind of go fast like move around real quick don't trip though. Yep. It's tracking really nicely
Boom and it's back. Look at that!
alright, so that's kind of a quick real-world test of the face tracking autofocus on the Canon EOS R
So now we're gonna go to
59.94. So movie quality, here we go. We're gonna click movie recording size and you've got all your options there
So rolling here 60p slow motion on the canon EOS R, we also have face tracking on the autofocus turned on and
Our cameras set to 1.2 aperture. So really shallow. Let's see how the autofocus tracking works
autofocus tracking
Next work nice work very talented
We lost tracking there for a minute
Okay it's back
So, it's cool, he's actually putting his hands in front of his face and the
Autofocus is staying with him. So it's pretty powerful autofocus
And this is one of the reasons why I bought this camera because the A7SII
The autofocus is just slow and really unusable for a lot of stuff I do on the gimbal. So I'm really excited about it
I can't wait to shoot more with this and we hope you guys enjoy this little
First look at the canon EOS R. Keep a lookout for the full review coming soon next week
