- What's up? It's Andy Feliciotti,
and welcome back to another video.
Today, We're shooting on the Canon EOS R5.
Now, if you don't know what this camera is,
it's a very hyped camera from Canon,
and it just came out, last week.
So, what better way to get to know the camera
than to do a first-person video,
where I go through my impressions,
while I'm using the camera.
I'll also film a few video clips,
and we'll see if we can get the camera to overheat.
Let's just hop right into it.
So, right now, we're at the United States Capitol.
Figured we walk around the grounds,
and see what kind of shots we got.
Right now, I have the 16 to 35 millimeter on.
I also have an RF lens, and another EF lens
that we'll test out here.
But, for right now,
we're just gonna use my favorite lens.
Just right away, from first impressions, the grip?
Compared to the EOS R, way bigger.
Definitely feels like a 5D Mark IV,
if you're familiar with that.
And, of course, on the back of the body,
you can see that they removed the touch bar.
Probably one of the most hated features of the EOS R,
and, of course, now,
you have the classic Canon joystick here, which works great.
When I did go into the settings, at first,
I had to enable using it for your focus point,
but once you turn that feature on, you're good to go.
Let's take a few photos here.
(shutter closes)
I always love when the Capitol has its lights on.
Nice little reflection there.
One thing they also changed is,
the back of the screen now tells you what dial to twist,
rather than just guessing,
like you had to do, on the EOS R,
which, that's a really good change, in my opinion.
So, in addition to photos, I'll take a few video clips,
and we'll see if we can get the camera to overheat.
Let's put it to 4K 120 FPS.
Of course, to go to high frame rate mode,
you have to go over here.
I do hate that UI choice,
but other than that, it works pretty good.
And, of course, the flip-out screen that everybody loves.
(relaxed hip hop music)
This is one of my favorite spots to take photos,
'cause you can get a reflection of the Capitol.
Looks like there's some water, too.
We can get the puddles in here.
Let's go back to photo mode.
(relaxed hip hop music continues)
(shutter closes)
They also added a dedicated magnify button here,
which is a welcome change.
Let's get a little closer here.
The camera also shoots 20 FPS photos,
which I don't have much use for,
but it's nice to have that option.
So, we'll try that out, in a couple of minutes here.
(shutter closes)
(relaxed hip hop music continues)

I actually have the IS mode off, for some reason.
Let's turn the image stabilization back on, for the sensor.
For photos, I've actually found this to be
a super welcome change.
Super easy to take long exposure photos,
while handholding it, now.
You know, nothing crazy.
Just a couple seconds.
This is one of my favorite angles here, of the Capitol.
Plus, you can get a shot with no tourists.
(shutter clicks)
And one thing you couldn't do previously
is knock the auto-ISO off.
So, right now, you can see, I'm on auto-ISO.
It's about a 1,200 ISO.
But, if I just knock this dial right here,
you can see, now, I'm on manual ISO.
So, let's try a manual ISO of 100.
And we have a one-thirteenth of a second photo.
Now one-tenth.
You can see, it's kind of stable, when I just hold it still.
It's from the IBIS,
but let's try to take a few photos here.
This is where the burst mode comes in handy, too,
'cause you can just hold it down.
Let's increase the burst speed here.
We'll do the highest option.
(shutter clicks)
And you can see how many photos were taken there.
Probably one of those will be sharp.
So, let's swap out a lens here.
Let's put on the 85 EF lens.
Now, one thing I love about Canon mirrorless cameras
is they actually have a little cover that covers the sensor,
so, when you're swapping lenses,
you don't have to worry about dust getting into there.
Start shooting again.
(relaxed hip hop music continues)

Always gotta wait for the flag to wave,
to get the right shot.
Let's get a couple slo-mo clips of the flag, here.
(relaxed hip hop music continues)
You can really see how well the IBIS works, here.
Let's try a video with the IBIS off, real quick.
Turn it off.
And I'm trying to hold it as steady as I can, here.
And then, I'll shake my hand, like I did previously.
And I'll just show those on the screen, to compare them.
The IBIS definitely helps a lot, though.
I can tell.
Oh, wow. The sky is crazy tonight.
This is the one view
that you can get the Washington Monument in.
And you can see the old post office building,
in the distance.

Okay, now, let me swap to the RF lens.
So now, we're on the RF 35 millimeter.
This is actually the cheapest lens
that Canon makes for this mount.
I actually bought this, because adapters are sold out now,
for the EF lenses.
So, I just figured I want a reason
to use my R and R5, at the same time,
and not have to swap adapters. (shutter closes)
So, so far, I've been liking it.
This lens is pretty solid.
See if we can get some B-roll with it.
And you can see now,
our time is actually limited to five minutes, now.
Previously, it was about eight minutes,
so, the camera is definitely heating up a little bit.
(gentle light music)
(shutter closes)
Get a photo of the Capitol, through this puddle here.
(shutter closes)
Eh, didn't turn out the way I thought.
You can also see, while I'm shooting video,
and there's now zebras.
So, you can see what areas of your photo
are overexposed or underexposed.
Sky tonight is just great.
You can just see how stable this is, though.
Let's go down to ISO 100.
You can see, hold on.
We'll do F4,
and we're at a sixth of a second, right now.
So, I'll take a burst,
so we can definitely get a sharp shot.
Last one was a little blurry. (shutter closes)
Oh yeah.
I'll punch into these, so you can see how sharp they are.
So, I think the GoPro is a little low light now,
so, let's go over to the fountain
at the Library of Congress, to get a little more light.
(gentle light music continues)
(shutter closes)
Gotta love getting reflection shots.
And obviously, with this flip-out screen,
it makes it extremely easy.
Also, if you have the EOS R,
you might be used to the indent for the flip-out screen
to be up on the top-right,
but now, it's on the right here.
On the bottom-right.
Makes it a little bit easier to grab.
Granted, my muscle memory is still trying to grab it,
up from that area.
And just for the sake of our knowledge,
- Knowledge.
- let's go into the menus,
go to movie recording mode,
and we're gonna turn off the fast frame rate,
and we're gonna go to 8K,
24 FPS, or 23.
I'll lie.
And you can see,
we only have five minutes of recording, in that mode,
which is normally something that you would have,
I think, like, 17 minutes in.
So, it's definitely taking an impact on the heat, right now.
Now, let's go back over to slo-mo.
(gentle light music continues) (fountain spurts)
I have noticed that this lens hunts a little bit for focus.
(fountain spurts)
Now, let's try to do a long exposure photo,
to get the water still.
I'll go to ISO,
we'll do 400, and we'll do F4.
Eh, let's do F8.
Why not?
Okay, so, this is a one second exposure.
Gonna hold it as steady as I can here.
(shutter closes)
I'll take a few shots, so I know I get it.
Let's see how much slo-mo we have left.
Four minutes now.
So, you can definitely see how shooting photos
and shooting videos at the same time
eats into that battery life.
I was only filming one 20 FPS clips, but, in 4K.
Let's get another photo of the fountain here.
Handheld, of course.
So, it's attempting to do ISO 8,000.
Let's bump it down to ISO 400.
And we'll handhold it, (shutter closes)
and see what we can get.
So, I think that's it for this video,
but let me swap back to the Canon EOS R5.
So, I'll start recording on that now.
So, you can see, I'm still shooting on the RF 35 millimeter.
I hope you liked this video.
Let me know if you liked this format.
Just wanted to try something a little bit different there.
Definitely check out the camera,
if you're interested in shooting
both really great photos and good video.
Of course, the overheating's gonna be an issue,
if you're in a more professional environment,
but, other than that,
I really love the camera, so far.
Obviously, I recommend the Canon EOS R, also.
Definitely a great camera.
But that's all for this video.
