Wedding filmmaking requires a camera that will film B-Roll in a wide variety of frame rates, as well as continuously record a long wedding ceremony. Is the Canon R5 up to the challenge, or will it overheat and be unreliable? I bought one and put it to the test for wedding videography.
In case you don’t have time to watch, here is the main takeaway:
This camera is guaranteed to overheat filming a wedding, most likely within the first hour. Professionals should not rely on this camera.
It’s looking like Sony will be finally releasing the successor to the A7Sii later this month. It’s been nearly 5 years since the original A7Sii came out, and I for one am ready for it!
I’ve owned the A7Sii since October 2015, and I still film with it nearly every day. Now, here on the eve of the release of the A7Siii and Canon R5, I feel like this is a great time to look back at the Sony A7Sii, the strengths and weaknesses this camera, and talk about what Sony got right and what they got wrong.
I also want to tell you why I still film with it, and why this camera still brings me so much joy five years after its release.

I always carry a prism in my bag when filming weddings, ready to use it for a ton of creative in-camera effects. Is it possible to improve upon my basic prism though?
