Does anyone use their R5 for anything other than BIF and wildlife? Don't get me wrong, the images are nice, but who's using it for portraits, lifestyle, etc.?
that is because wedding shooters are generally off on instagram or facebook groups.
plus wedding work is just starting up.
no travel images because of this covid thing... not sure you heard or not
I have a wedding coming up in 3 weeks where I will use the R5+R to video a wedding.
will probably grab an R5 for my october weddings.
10 star Pius.
Just someone tell me the R5 will sing a spell on my EOS 400/5.6 and I'll get in line.
Found this concerning R5+EOS 400/5.6

I've shot with Ron before on his pontoon boat touring in Florida for kites. He's a trusted
reviewer/working photographer, so I'm in, well in line
A few shots from a local butterfly/wildlife park here in Phoenix.
The R5 worked like a dream. Far better then either my 90D or 5DS. It was easier to get teh shots with the EVF and the live exposure. I had no issues with battery life. I shot over 2200 pictures and still had over 50% charge left (I did have the grip with two batteries installed), and I started with around 80% charge.
It's well over 90 degrees in this place with very high humidity and the camera had no issues with the heat. Though I did not shoot any video, just stills so that was to be expected.
The first two pictures were taken with the 100mm f/2.8L IS lens, the last one was taken with the 100-400L MKII.

This shot I was lucky that this particular dragonfly decided to stay in the air long enough for my pretty slow focusing Sigma 100-400 C to find focus. 1/1600 and wide open at F6.3. I did replace the sky since the original sky was quite boring:
I was wondering because either that is the worlds largest dragonfly, or you've got some kind of amazing lens that gives you tight framing on a subject yet a wide angle of the sky with so much depth of field!
Looking for more examples of portraits? Here are some I shot with the RF 35mm 1.8 and an adapted Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2. I like the images but I wanted to like the RF 35mm more than I did. Its sharpness is fine and I was pleasantly surprised with the AF after seeing some critical reviews. However, I find the CA to be distracting and the one-click correction in ACR didn't always take care of it. The bokeh in the corners is also a bit distracting IMO.
Went out to the WA coast yesterday to try the r5 with some pelicans. What an upgrade from the 7dII.
Taken with 100-400. 3 pelicans is in crop mode. Pooping pelican is not. Resized to 2400x1600
I was thinking more about switching the AF point to the leading bird, but you have to be super-quick to be able to make that change, so it might not be very practical. Another way maybe is to move/pan the camera from left to right, so the leading bird enters the VF first and the AF will then lock on the first bird.
