Hello guys.
I just returned back into Botswana from South Africa, where I had
the wonderful opportunity to spend Christmas with my family.
After a whole year being locked down in Botswana.
It was great seeing all of them.
I also met up with Roger from Canon South Africa, who gave us this box full
of toys to play with...and test up here in the Chobe. We are not sponsored by Canon.
They're just fans of our YouTube channel.
We work with Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, etc...all the brands out there.
And it's very important that we get to know these brands,
so that we can teach our guests.
Um, and we would like to invite all the other brands out there.
Send us a package like this as well.
We would love to
get it out in the field. Test it and just see what they're capable of.
Let's have a look
what they have sent us.
This is very exciting.
Whoa.
A box full of stuff.
And what is this?
Ah, the Canon EOS R6 with a battery pack.
This is great for
vertical shooting...and it just feels strong...
bigger in your hands, especially if you're used to one of the
bigger bodies, like the EOS-1D X.
The one thing that excites us all about this is the animal eye-tracking.
Can't wait to test it.
Now, there's another body.
This is the Canon EOS R5. A higher megapixel camera.
Also mirrorless. The big brother of the R6.
This will be great is to compare these two. We will definitely make
a video of that. Lower light...
I think it's going to be better on the R6?
More pixels on the R5.
Very excited to compare these two. I also see some lenses in here...
let's have a look.
Whoa, very light.
This will be great for traveling.
Here we have a 600mm fixed f/11 and over here, a 800mm
f/11.This is fantastic.
I would love to try this out in the field.
On Safari...and make a review of how these lenses perform with the new mirrorless bodies.
And yet we have a Canon EOS 90D. Very excited about this camera.
We are very used to the 80D. The cameras that we use on our vehicles and our boats.
And now this is the upgrade.
This will be fantastic to compare these two to each other.
Like you've asked in the comments. If there is any other gear you
would like us to review, stick around until the end of this video,
and see what we get out of this box... and maybe there's something else you
guys would be interested in for us to have a go at. Please don't forget
to subscribe, because then you will be notified when we release these reviews.
There's something else in here....
that's looks interesting.
Ah, this is fantastic.
This is an adapter that I can put my EF lenses on the mirrorless body.
Now I can test all my EF lenses as well.
Very rare at the moment.
Thank you so much, Canon South Africa for sending this...and our last lens in
the box, is a Canon RF 24-105mm f/4.
It's great to have a wider lens in your bag.
Even for wildlife photography.
Sometimes you get close to a subject, and you want a bit of a wider shot.
Also great for landscapes.
Personally, when I travel, this is my go-to lens...just for architecture and
portraiture. Also with the RF mount
for our mirrorless cameras.
And the last thing we have in this box, looks very
familiar...and it just feels right.
This is the Canon EOS-1D X MKIII. I am a Canon EOS-1D X MKI shooter.
And I was waiting for this guy to come out.
I'm very eager to try this track pad on the back. I hear
very good things about that.
It's still just feels like a camera.
And that's it.
Thanks again Roger
from Canon South Africa for sending us this big box of toys to play with. We will
do the obvious reviews, like the R5 versus the R6. Play with the 600, 800mm f/11 lenses.
But if there's anything else that you guys would like us to do a review on,
on the gear that we've got, please let us know in the comments below.
Now I'm going to give this gear to the rest of the Pangolin Photo Safaris team
to put it through its paces.
If you liked this video, give us a BIG thumbs up, and stay tuned
to our channel for the results.
Thank you.
And goodbye.
