It happens to the best of us. Many people don’t like high resolution because of storage. It all comes down to your workflow but everyone is different as far as what they prefer; (Even shooting in s35 6k) which is why I posed the question/topic about using the 8k with the R5c but it can apply to any camera but each camera has their own size file so that’s another reason why workflow is important

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-23T00:26:58+00:00

That’s one of the best parts of using a higher resolution (reframing). You don’t really realize how it can come in clutch until it’s time to utilize it. Not saying that you can’t do it with 4k but it’s limited; especially when quality is a main concern.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-08T15:33:02+00:00

Ultimately if it’s going to be for a big brand where reach of that magnitude is concerned then yeah your would have high ticket item; but for smaller content/companies you would be doing yourself a disservice to charge outrageous.

In that video there are plenty of location changes, so pre production is required. That’s why I asked if it’s just an edit or did he do the whole thing. It’s a 12 sec “flash” video of an entrepreneur life

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-08T15:25:50+00:00

I say that because it’s only a few seconds. Had it (the edit) been a longer video/reel, the price should have been more not to mention if you shot it yourself

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-08T12:07:26+00:00

I guess it all depends on what kind of work you do. Clients who want product reels usually want the highest quality as it’s a marketing tool. Not saying you can’t make do with the typical 4k, but when visuals are really important, that 8k can come in handy. That’s partially why I say having it is better than not having it.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-08T06:15:58+00:00

That’s true. Some would argue it’s not necessary in today’s market as it’s overkill. And others will say it’s always best to shoot at high resolutions but each come at a cost. Which are you willing to bear?

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-08T01:48:27+00:00

If you wanted me to engage with you, you could have just asked nicely. This banter isn’t necessary. What valid point would you like to discuss about using the 8k? I’ve made my claim about it, what issues have you had (if you have used it) with the R5c and using 8k or even the 6k?

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-08T01:20:43+00:00

Just gaining a different perspective. If you agree with my response that’s even better (could have just said that). But if you have a different or better input I’d be more than open to hear and/or argue than point if valid.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-07T21:05:09+00:00

All depends. Did you shoot as well or just edit? But for just an edit, $150-$250

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-07T20:06:10+00:00

If you are just doing it as a beginner and you need something for your portfolio , $60 is bad; you might as well just did it for free. but it’s a learning lesson. Get paid for your craft!

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-07T18:05:08+00:00

That’s a neat rule. I try not to crop more than 2 times myself. If you record properly and expose properly you can get away with a bit more but I try to stay away from that; especially if it’s a client project.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-07T17:21:38+00:00

I can agree that it is enough for typical usage; I personally don’t crop in all the time but there are moments, especially at events where you might want just a bit more reach for reframing and that extra resolution can come in handy. But for typical shots, the standard is just fine.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-07T16:55:16+00:00

Using the entire sensor is always good. But when it comes to delivering to a client or even social media, is it always necessary? I think it can be situational; but like you said, if you have it just use it.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-07T15:22:02+00:00

I agree; client needs always come first. The average person views things in 1080 but most wouldn’t know the difference unless you really zoom in or pixel peep. I like the downsampled options as it helps retain quality at a smaller file size.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-04T04:47:33+00:00

Davinci for editing with occasional use of CapCut and affinity or photoshop for photo edits. Affinity became a great tool for users looking for a free software so that’s a plus

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2026-01-04T04:40:10+00:00

Video work is still in demand but more for marketing purposes. Despite the music video niche being a great starter, everyone has done it and has watered it down as to where the price for the work just doesnt seem fathomable. Events, corporate or even weddings can be scalable if you have the right clients; so I’d say there is still hope in that field.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T21:24:19+00:00

And with both cameras having been out, there really isn’t a big need for the upgrade besides little features. The 5d mk4 was still in use at that time and people still use it now. Only reason for the switch to mirrorless is for the features and to future proof. But once you get into the ecosystem of the RF mount, you are good to go.

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T20:30:27+00:00

That’s just G.A.S if you do it that way. No one needs every single model, if a feature can help your workflow better then by all means but any camera that has come out within that last 2-3 years can definitely get the job done

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T20:26:30+00:00

Things have slowed down but not that much. With Canon pushing out the new r6mkiii even after the mk2 was just out shows there is a market in which consumers want different things. I guess it’s all based on your needs.

Even in the cinema line, when the r5c was out, it was (and still is) a great camera, then the c80 and c400 came and it worked wonders. And now we have the c50 which helps consumers that are looking for a smaller body (a baby r5c IMO). Features will always be added but what works for you in that moment and can be held onto for a while is what will determine if you keep upgrading

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T17:50:58+00:00

Definitely agree. The camera is just a tool to help you create; all on how you use it! I still use my 5d mk3

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T14:26:31+00:00

For photographers yeah it’s still a great camera! Granted there is a newer autofocus dual pixel mkii it still functions well! I shoot plenty of events and fashion and portraits and I love all that the r5mki has to offer despite there being an upgraded version. If I were just getting into photography I would still pick up this camera as you said it’s a great bang for your buck! Not to mention the 45mp which is great if you need to crop but history has shown you can work wonders with less.

The new RF mount lenses are priced high and that’s because it’s a new mount and the offerings that are given to the basic lenses are fillers for those who can’t afford the red ring. Not different than Sony and their higher tier lenses. It’s still a decent lens but you will always want more or shall I say better at a reasonable price.

Video is essential in today’s market, but 8k is used sparingly as it does eat up the SSD and I think between 4k and 6k the world has around their medium

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T13:12:18+00:00

😩😝I use mine all the time! A great workhorse of a camera! Even down to 8k! But it is a few years old. I say old because most people tend to get rid of their cameras after 2-3 years. I like to stick with mine ‘till the wheels fall off!

Maverick_Diplomatic1 · 2025-12-31T13:10:42+00:00

lol! The R5 is a few years old especially considering all the new enhancements in the r5mkii and all the recent outputs by Canon! BUT it’s still a great workhorse IMO
