Hey, I'm in the middle of a possible life/career change making a shift to try and become professional photographer and videographer and want to hear if somebody has an opinion about the Canon R5.
What are your opinions on it as an all purpose video and photo camera?
My previous and only camera is a 5dmkii that I bought years and years ago. I've been very happy with it and used it for photoshoots, music videos, promo videos, and lots of other shit.
I wore out the shutter and had it replaced three years ago.
My idea was to get a new camera and use my 5dmkii with a 50m as my second camera and then the new camera use my 24-70m I got with the 5dmkii.
The R5 looks like it does pretty much everything I want it to do. I won't be filming in 8k or anything and I think having the R5 with the more versatile lens and then the 5dmkii with the 50m is an ideal setup for me.
Yes I realise I'm a moron who doesn't know shit about anything and I'm unrealistic etc etc etc. I'm just interested in opinions on the R5 for all purpose workhorse use.
