Our take on this hot industry topic!

Review of Canon’s R5 & R6 Mirrorless Camera

filed in:

If you know me, you know I’m not a tech guru…. Never have been, never will be! I learn and master what I need to in order to be the BEST at my craft but I don’t spend my free time researching upcoming Canon gear releases like a lot of photographers do! While my free time is spent documenting my kids lives, decorating, building new business concepts, Tyler Herrinton’s free time is spent learning everything he can about the tech world.

This is GREAT for me because he’s our go-to guy for tech information. He helps us fully understand the details of new gear and we trust his opinion!

The conversation of Canon’s recent R5 & R6 mirrorless camera release has been a HOT TOPIC in our Facebook groups this past week and while I tend to avoid the super techy discussions, I know that this conversation isn’t going anywhere.

This is by far the BIGGEST SHIFT in technology that has happened since I started my career in professional photography. The dilemma and discussion about “should I go mirrorless and make the shift” isn’t a fad… it’s the future.

So, what does that mean for us?

As a committed Canon user it means I need to understand what the R5 and R6 have to offer and I need to have a clear recommendation for photographers who are asking us what they should do!

In this new Youtube Episode, you’ll join me as I learn about the R5 and R6! Then at the end I’ll share what I recommend for other photographers who are on the fence!

Thanks Ty for sharing your knowledge with me and all of the other non-tech-obsessed photogs out there!!

WATCH HERE!!

Ps. We also have a BRAND NEW Podcast episode out! After announcing that we’re pregnant (and that my sister is too! Due THREE DAYS apart!!! ) we have received so many questions like:

When are you actually due?
How did you tell each other?!
Did you PLAN this?!
Do you guys do everything the same?! (No, not birth preferences!)

All of these questions are answered on this new podcast episode! Thanks Emy for joining me!!!

Thanks for reading!

Jonathan + Melanie Grand Ivory Wedding

Oh, this wedding day!! What a beautiful Texan dream! I met Melanie when she attended one of our workshops years ago in our home. She had the sweetest spirit and such a kindness about her. I remember loving how she made personal marketing her own and did headshots in a pile of Skinny Pop!! I loved her creativity and her ability to envision what she wanted in her brand.

My review of the Canon EOS R6 after shooting a full wedding day is LIVE on Youtube! I was so nervous to use a brand new camera system for full wedding day… I had my Mark IV ready in my bag just in case… but thankfully, I never had to use it! I was really hoping that I would love it and feel comfortable with it….

I’ve been hoping for this day for a very long time…. but I wasn’t sure that it would ever come. That sounds dramatic but let me explain. I LOVE my website company. Showit is incredible and the more I learn about and experience other platforms for hosting and creating custom websites, the more I realize, they aren’t really, truly “custom” at all. Showit is the website design platform for the creative. Hands-down. It’s so powerful, so intuitive and so easy to use. Years ago, Showit created a way to implement a Showit theme onto a Wordpress blog!!! Genius! I couldn’t wait for my blog to be a Showit blog…. but it never happened.
