as good as the eos r is depending on what kind of work you'll be doing
there are some real drawbacks to getting it here are 10 reasons not to get the canon eos r
hey guys i'm rafael and welcome to the channel where our goal is to always fix it in camera
and then finesse it in post and i always appreciate the early thumbs up because
the canon eos r is a great camera but there are some real considerations you need to think about
before deciding to buy one and many of them are really focused on functionality and time
savings the first one is the touch bar look i tried and tried and i tweaked and tested and i
just couldn't find a useful intuitive repeatable use for the touch bar it's just a dead zone on
the camera if i did find something i would have shared it by now it's just not responsive enough
takes too long to activate so sorry no go the r5 and the six joystick yes the 4k crop is pretty
substantial on the eos r it's 1.7 times think of it as the center portion of the sensor only
if you need full frame 4k or even super 35 4k and you need to switch between photo and video
mode really quickly the r is not for you yes metabones makes a speed booster that reduces
the 4k crop to 1.2 times but you have to take it off if you want to take photos or film in hd
so that is a pain point for sure speaking of 4k there is no 4k 60 frames per second
this kind of speaks for itself if you need 4k and even a little slow-mo not with the r
the single card slot was the biggest complaint with the eos r from the beginning if you get
paid to capture or film any type of live events where you only have one chance to capture it
the dual card slot is vital for this using the r with only a single card slot in these situations
is way too high of a risk though i have read recently that a vast majority of shooters don't
even utilize the dual capture mode on the dual card slot cameras so if you do have a dual card
slot camera make sure you do set it to redundant capture across the cards and purchase really good
sd cards 8-bit recording internal the r does have 10 bit but only via external recorder and only in
cropped 4k and no ability to record full frame hd 10-bit like come on if it had full-frame 10-bit in
hd over external at least that would be something no c-log 3. to be honest i'm not sure which c-log
it actually is it's just ac log and if you're not careful you'll get really noisy shadows in
anything outside of the native iso 400 the r6 is definitely better at handling noise than the osr
no internal body image stabilization ibis is so key to increasing usable footage in low light
slow shutter speed settings it's the difference between almost a nice shot to a winner capture
the eos r has 120 frames per second but only in 720p who would shoot anything in 720p nowadays
and to make it even worse autofocus is disabled in high frame rate recording i don't think that
i've ever used high frame recording on the canon eos r it's just a non-starter as of this video
the eos r is older than two years which in itself isn't a bad thing but i am a firm believer in
buying the best you can afford in the balance of what you will be able to use in the long long run
and for those of you who are waiting for the usr mark ii i don't feel canon will release an eos r
mark ii it would be nice but i feel the r6 is the r mark ii it has all the things the r was missing
dual sd card slots ibis 10 bit internal full frame 4k and 120 frames in hd
with autofocus the r was launched october 2018 at a starting price of 22.99 i believe that it was a
testing the mirrorless market camera for canon i feel that it will go down as its own thing i am 99
sure there will be no r mark ii i don't know where it would fit in the current roadmap it would make
more sense to drop the price of the r6 below 2k and add more functionality through firmware
updates if 10bit is important and you have a newer computer that can edit the high efficiency video
codec or h.265 and have the budget of what the original r launched for at 299 then go for the r6
it is what the r should have been from the very start and if you feel that any of the things that
i mentioned will slow down your workflow go with the r6 however if none of the things i
mentioned change the way you feel about the osr check out this video about 10 reasons why the r
is still worth it the r is a great camera in its own right and perfect for some what are your needs
in a camera is the r good for your workflow is it enough to get all that you need as always thanks
