Holy shit, in full flesh is even worse. No front dial, no joystick, almost no custom buttons, af-on in a very bad spot... Sony was always kind of a ergo nightmare, but they outdone themselves.

can confirm 1.1.1 works with date change and battery pull method to reset timer.

i like the concept and if your out and about "documenting" everything, family included, then your mind is at least kept active and your video skills as well i guess. i had a mate pass away nearly a year ago. he was into photos and video as well. Last time i was around at his place i helped the youngest daughter with his old video gear, got it sorted and running, now the family has memories and treasures and in some ways (he will live on) at least for his family and thats the important thing i think. there may be no financial benefit but there's more to life than money.

I am doing some stress tests. No issues so far and haven't had any 'low temperature burns'... This is the method in action during a field test... This is a comment on Roger's heat emissions tests, my own findings, and the Canon PR remarks to Johnnie: https://www.eoshd.com/news/canon-eos-r5-8k-stress-test-1-no-problem-with-timer-reset-so-far/

I love getting out and doing this. I have so many bits and pieces from over the years that don’t have a rhyme or reason. I think it’s super important to the creative part of your mind, to keep up on the craft for the love of the crafts sake. Otherwise it gets stale really fast. People do this with music all of the time, pick up your instrument and just play. We need to remember to do it with video too.

If limiting skin exposure to heat is the primary goal of Canon's thermal management they should be able to easily distinguish between hand-held and tripod use via either the IBIS gyros or the camera level sensors, and use that information to establish the appropriate temperature thresholds. With some user warnings to handle the scenario of moving between tripod and hand-held use.

It is a thing that I intend to do more in the future. Pandemic hit hard here - almost 6 months inside the house, working hard (in IT - as I always stated here, video / stills is for personal pleasure), almost no way to alleviate pressure, always tired, my 15 year old cat died last month. And my house have very bad lighting, and my almost 2 yr old daughter runs to the camera every time that she sees it, making hard to do candid shots. 🙂 Lots of mobile shots, though. And with all the burden of this year, and with my VERY bad memory, recalling these mobile shots made me realize that that I forgot most of the memories of my child as a baby; these stills and short clips brought all back, they are invaluable for me now. We cannot forget that images are a very powerful way to make us visualize our life path. C-rolls, on a very personal level, could be the best footage that we could ever do.

thats pretty insulting to every real sheep out there...... you should probably be comparing those people to vegan steaks or hamburgers.....

Lack of front dial is a mistake. Especially at the rumored price.

23.6MP sensor (IMX677), 5K 30P Video (5120 x 2880), 20MP photos, 1.4in front screen for preview/status, 2.27in main screen, 479 Euro.

Btw u can downgrade firmware

The way I do tests is to throw it in the deep end on a paid shoot straight away. Also have the Ninja V to pair it with.

Any chance this cfexpress to nvme ssd could work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/184438464836

100%. No way a 12mgpxl sensor can cover my photographic needs, and I was shooting film (and S8) for years and years before even the Mavica (so I am not "digitally" spoiled). I have decided that 24mgpxls are ok, and I am trying to decide if the R6 is enough..42mp are too much for my needs though, I am not specializing that much. Maybe A7iv will be the answear to our prayers, 7Siii brings so many vital improvements to the A ecosystem, but still is not a true 50 - 50 hybrid, is a video orientated one that can take pictures, if 12 is your magic number, then some of you are going to be very happy very soon. I am not!

Nobody asks. Sony delivers!

Seems like the most unnecessary camera release ever! A7 III is just fine at affordable full frame prices. And they want $2K for this ugly monstrosity?! Wouldn't A7000 make more sense for the name as well.

Thats plan B Plus you get to exopose and trow luts on as well.

I’m wondering whether going the Ninja (with the Angelbird mastercaddy) route isn’t a way of avoiding having to buy multiple expensive cards. I have pre-ordered a 160 type A but it’d be nice if I didn’t have to get another one... I don’t mind using an external monitor and with the proper HDMI it’s reasonably secure.

yeah DR is important but I've seen so many cameras with great DR that fall apart and the shadows or the highlights in terms of image quality. Like my A7rII that turned green in the highlights right before clipping (thank God they fixed this on later models).

Like external recorder on top of camera-hand held do not exist? We are not living in the same planet. More people try to explain canon choice, less it makes sense. All Canon explanations was about electronics that can't hold warm temperature since day one. I's call "overheating" on all their documentation for a rason. But as this do not work with the external no limit recording aspect; there is now a new idea floating around about your skin getting burn, but only for internal recording not external cause the camera is on tripod?! And that's why removing the timer is so dangerous? But nowhere to be seen on the R5 user manual a specific warning on external recording and heat? Why? Just because you want to defend Canon and their infamous timer choice? If you believe such fairy tale;I have some interesting business proposal for you investing on offshore account that will brings you 20% interest in 3 minutes... And please explain me the "overheat" compare to "do hot to touch" Why do they even call it "overheat" and not display a "to warm to touch" logo? Why we only talk about this now and not when it all started? And, wait. Explain the 1 hour cooling time? Especially if it's only to not get people burn by touching and nothing to do with internal temperature. One hour to be able to touch it again? Really? It's time to wake up.

That explanation do not make sense. When using an external recorder; the camera is also getting super hot and Canon have never limit recording when you do not have a card inside. Without any hack, you can record forever. So any exercise to explain that electronic overheat and need an hour to cool down or that people get burned and other fantasy do not stand when you start talking "external recording" without time limitation. How all electronics inside the R5 will not fries if you keep recording externally for hours under a body that you can barely touch, but suddenly need limitations, even when using inside a fridge? Canon need to explain me this very funny temperature management standard. Either the camera is not safe running at hot temperatures and external recording should be limited. Either the camera is safe for long recording and the timer should go.

Nothing to be shocked about. The FS7 image looks like hot garbage with its bad tonality and horrible processing, while the FX9 looks fantastic.

LOL Man, you have no idea what I'm doing to get one available now! : D Without this one, I'd NEVER buy it as well more EF glass... What's the most friendly Canon web corner after all? ;- )

If my R5 ever ships (ordered day 1 - lol) I will keep it and keep this firmware if they ever cripple it. With the new firmware improvement it’ll be almost good enough for my use (very short clips) and if have an issue I can always pull the battery and start again. It sucks to do that on a 4000$ camera but for the package it offers I’ll do it.

Andrew. You're getting ripped on over at canonrumors comment section 😳

Hahaha. Their tests always have people reaching for their swords. I liked this comment in particular, from their comments section. "Lars Gafpa Gear @gunther we executed internally the same ima test and it looks similar. Basically a 12 adc sensor can never deliver more than around 11.5 in s/n 2. Unless they use heavy nr. These are the facts. These are all imx 12 bit video mode adc sensors. Dome may look better due to heavy nr. Only varicam etc have 14 bit adc or alrxa which crossconverts two pixels simultaneously. Therefor i doubt ima test says a lot. I mean one can het a bit higher rating towards the maximum patch range by doing nr. But its ugly bit right now no mirror less cameras have 14 bit adc. Same goes for komodo. Maximum 11 stops. Still fun for a global shutter camera and ofc uses backed in highkight retention to get dr higher etc and some other tricks. I love the ima test of cined they demystify a bit all the lies. It shows that over the last 10 years no big inventions were made on a sensor level. Onoy invention is fake news." Incidentally, tests such as these, and all tests in general, also highlight how fallable dynamic range tests and company numbers really are, and that experts are grossly overrated and over paid idiots, with years of senseless experience. Also, most importantly, that the more famous an expert is, the bigger a jackass he is likely to be, and the more likely he tries to fool everyone, and is as consumed by his own BS, as the ones he attempts to fool. Somewhere the whole line of distinction is blurred.

Seems like they knew about this battery hack now, just hope they dont patch it https://www.cined.com/canon-interview-r5-and-r6-overheating-questions-answered/

On the contrary, I like it quite a lot. It drew me in and immediately had a fresh and honest aesthetic that made his life look somehow very appealing and yet very accessible. I'm not sure if you've ever tried creating a video like these, but this is in kind-of the same direction that I work towards, and I can tell you, anything that is effortless to watch is because the person making it put in all the effort! Maybe I'm wrong, and he's just a natural, where everything he does just happens to come together into a coherent narrative with candid shots that all work and support the edit in post. The internet is a big place and I guess statistically there are likely to be a few people out there who can just pick up a camera and it all just works for them. Who knows. It sounds like it might be worth a go. When I was shooting stills there was a pretty constant supply of stories from people who say that photography saved their life. Typically they were working through the loss of a loved one or some other kind of major tragedy and were approaching suicide and someone gave them a camera and they just went out and started taking photos and it ended up helping them get through that difficult time. I am no expert, but one thing that comes to mind is deliberately doing the opposite of what you would typically do for paid jobs and testings. I've had a lot of success creatively in many different creative fields (music, drawing, photography, and more) by deliberately taking something you always do and just doing the opposite to see what would happen. It kind of instantly makes something new and fresh, and you won't have any expectation that it will work (many times it really won't!) which means you will also take risks and will be more in the moment. Worst case is you spend some time and have a little fun. I'm not so sure. I think nowadays with pervasive social media it's tempting to always be trying to get something that's sharable, and even if not sharable, you're always comparing yourself with things you see online. Think about beauty 'standards' and how young women talk about how they look - they can be incredibly beautiful and yet think they are ugly or fat because they're comparing themselves to supermodels or to tennis stars that spend 8 hours a day in the gym, or to pop stars who have been photoshopped to death in every image that's publicly available. Think about the people that you know and how often someone thinks they have an undesirable feature like a big nose or frizzy hair or blotchy skin or whatever and when they look in the mirror that's all they see. I know people who have worked out some bizarre way to contort themselves for photos and they end up looking ridiculous but they do it because it slightly improves the one thing that they see when they look at themselves. I remember a saying "don't compare your insides with other peoples outsides", which is talking about how we are aware of our own inner vulnerabilities and mistakes but are only aware of the projected personas of other people so we naturally don't compare well in that context. I used to think about Christian the same way - another 'cinematic vlogger - epic b-roll - buy my LUT packs - thanks to todays sponsor' but the last few videos have been different and he's started to become authentic, which puts him in another league entirely. I think the pressure on these people is huge, and there's a formula for making things look good and do well on social media. In a sense it's copying the Peter McKinnon aesthetic, except that the aesthetic alone feels empty without a big personality and big content. I think all the big YouTubers have a quite deliberate aesthetic, Casey Neistat has spoken openly about his, but when you're copying instead of finding your own voice I think there's a place that you end up and that's the aesthetic where there's the tens of thousands of these people that you're talking about. They kind of all end up looking like a model in a lifestyle commercial rather than a real human being. He now has my attention, let's see if he can keep it up.

🤣 No not at all... If I update firmware and lose a workaround it wont be anyones fault but my own. I've tip-toed into these updates since the beginning fearing that Canon was only updating to seal up some loose ends.

Lucky you ,still waiting on phone call so i can go and pick mine up 😁

Thanks for the comfirmation!

Just confirmed that the Date change "hack" is still live with New firmware on R5.

Jealous. A few in Europe are reporting the same thing. Looking forward to it being in the hands of real owners. Please update with any tests. Chris

Iirc, various computer graphics cards operate at well over 65 degrees C, with peak temperatures over 80 degrees C not unheard of. So Canon is at least being very conservative in their 'safeguards'. as well as really sloppy in their management of the recovery times, because those seem entirely disconnected from the actual temperatures. Imho, this festering uncertainly does maximal harm to Canon. They would have been better off to say up front that the R5 was not a tool for professionals, people who should be using a C300, but just a stopgap for use in a pinch. Now there is the impression that the entire product line is an elaborate scam, with features blocked or included because of marketing dictates, rather than engineering and economics. As Intel has discovered, that approach works until it does not, but then it is a long way back...

This is a surprisingly meaningful video. Makes me think about life. My girlfriend and I used to shoot videos just for fun. Very silly stuffs, really. We knew nothing about videography so the videos are just bad. This changed after we do video professionally. We don't shoot those silly videos anymore. We only shoot paid jobs and testings. It's like we have forgotten making videos are not always about work. Making videos are not fun anymore most of the time. Maybe that can help with my depression. Who knows?

Hello my friends of EOSHD, I've decided to start a petition to convince LionsGate Entertainment to give the film rights to the director Brian Yuzna, to make a new movie, the sequel of "The Dentist 2", titled "The Dentist 3 - New Legacy". Scriptment and Treatment are already done by myself and approved by Yuzna, so please partecipate! Thanks! Here there is the link to the petition: http://chng.it/RqXSkzJB85 I'm directly in contact with director Mr. Brian Yuzna! Everyone loved some movies made by this man! From "Society" to "Re-animator 2" or "Return of the Living Dead III". The great director has approved my scriptment/ treatment for a sequel of "The Dentist" movie series, titled "The Dentist 3 - New Legacy", but there's a problem, LionsGate Entertainment owns the film rights! So let's start a petition about convincing LionsGate Entertainment to give the film rights to Brian Yuzna, for start filming his new movie. Every person in the world that loves Brian Yuzna movies, firm this petition, thanks! We'll send this petition directly to Lions Gate Entertainment, to solve the problem! join in everybody! All welcome! Thanks for support! 🙂

Your needs aren't everyones. I just sent some stuff to an agency for print/digital work, a cropped image from the a73 that was about 16mp and they asked if I had a larger version. Sometimes I need a heavy vertical/horizontal crop for things like banner or sidebar type ads, so most of the image is thrown away. Even with 24" prints there's a noticeable difference between 42mp files from the a7r2/3 and the 12mp files from a7s2, I shot both extensively and its easy to tell which camera shot which image. This "normal viewing distance" stuff people constantly throw out is bullshit. I've found people constantly get right up against a print and look at the details, for me more is better and it has zero to do with poor composition. Its about getting the end product I want, even if I need to crop. Sometimes I look at a shot and see a second image that's completely different just by cropping a large chunk out. I shot tons of safari stuff and cropping to get details like a tight shot of a face or texture in feathers gives an entirely new perspective, same when I shoot automotive stuff. I do the same thing with landscapes too, lots of times you can just crop the foreground and get a dramatic sky shot without wasting sunrise/sunset light trying to reframe to get different angles. Most of the time I'm chasing a short window of perfect light, I don't waste it reframing and moving around, I just crop. I like the creative freedom more mp gives me. The s3 - for me - is going to be for video and social photos only. I need more mp for my regular work, the a73 is minimum for my stills work. YMMV. Chris

43 C is regarded as the limit of temperature that is safe for human tissue so that it's not damaged due to the heat. That's what is used in medical devices as the safety limit: during use, the device must not heat the tissue temperature above 43 C. If the temperature of the skin does rise above 43 C then you can expect some damage, though I don't know how quickly it happens or how severe it is. Roger writes "we ran it for 18 minutes before getting a temp warning. The hottest part of the camera was the back behind the LCD door (43°C / 109°F)". So it seems that the 43 C tissue damage threshold is indeed what Canon used to design their overheating algorithm to protect primarily against, and they're running it pretty close. (Canon also mention controls for internal temperatures as a secondary consideration in the CineD interview). Of course, if you don't hold the camera in your hands during recording and use a tripod or gimbal, then it wouldn't cause burns. But they seem to have designed the protection for those in mind who do their videos hand-held. My guess is that the 43 C could actually be written into some countries legislation or regulations as well, so Canon might not have any choice about it. I'll try to find some information on this.

According to articles posted by RSNA, 71% sensitivity for the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test. This is the test being doled out by various governments. I would venture to say that the CDC test is even less sensitive than in other countries given reports about serial testing. Each government appears to be using different RT-PCR tests with different primer sets. The SARS-CoV-2 test is highly specific, I would venture to guess around 98% or higher with the thresholds they are using. CT has very low specificity for COVID-19 vs other types of viral pneumonia, but high sensitivity for detecting viral pneumonia. Basically, no one should hang their hat on using one test either CT or RT-PCR.

I started with mirrorless video a year and a half ago and I'm still learning how it works. Recent discussions about new cameras and image quality got me wondering about how much oversampling cleans up noise in high ISO shots. Especially in Super35. So I shot this test on my X-T3, ISO 25600, 18-55 zoom at f8 on tripod from the same position. Varied shutter for exposure. Samples straight from camera without any grading. (First time I ever shot at this high ISO!) Natural room light from windows with Sunlight white balance. First - actual size crop from a “FINE” JPG photo at 6240 x 3512 for a 1:1 (not oversampled) comparison. Eterna profile with boosted color, noise reduction -4 and sharpness -4, lowest.

Here is an article showing that human cells die rather quickly in extended exposure to higher than 43 degrees Celsius: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4188373/ When human cells are at 44 C for a period of 1 hour, only about 10% of the cells survive (Fig. 1). When using external recorder, Canon may have assumed that the camera is no longer hand-held but used on a tripod, since it would be pretty clumsy to hand-held the camera with recorder attached. Thus there is not as much likelihood of long-term exposure of the videographer's hands to the damaging heat when using an external recorder. And yet Canon have probably considered the needs of professional videographers here, and allowed external recorder to be used for that reason. A consumer is less likely to be informed about low-temperature burns and may be hand-holding the camera as a matter of course, whereas a professional may be using tripods and external recorders more frequently. It's a balance act between safety for the typical user and utility in a professional environment.
