I have a R5 since October 2020. I had a 1Dx III from march 2020 until two weeks ago, sold it to buy an additional R5. Never used an R6 so I cannot comment on that. I basically have 2 custom settings that I use for video: 8k RAW Light 24-30 fps and 4k 120 fps Clog (rarely use Clog3). Rarely I use 4k HQ IPB with no log if I need to give the video for some quick and dirty usage without any further processing. R5 is imo a much better camera than the 1Dx III: 8k RAW is better that 5.5k RAW not for the resolution (although it give some more room for post zoom and pan) but mostly for the much better rolling shutter 15 ms vs 29 ms 4k 120fps is way way better than the junk 1080 120 of the 1Dx III. Crop quality is a tad better Lightweight, better on Gimbals Smaller to pack, basically I can take 2 R5 in the space and weight of a 1Dx III, if you add the insane big charger of the 1Dx III you can take a gazillion number of R5 batteries….. Flippy screen much better on Gimbals and in low angles 45 mpix much better than 20 mpix for photo Has zebra IBIS, IBIS + IS lens allow me to film quite a bit without a tripod, very handy for filming while backpacking for ski, mtb, etc….. EF-RF Adapter with VND 1Dx III is better in: No overheating Initial AF acquisition with long lenses but only for photos in non liveview mode. Has 5.5 RAW at 60fps but no AF Longer battery life Same dual card type More rugged and better weather sealing The biggest gain for me with the last firmware is the RAW Light that basically give me almost 2x storage. I’m a fan of RAW as it give me more flexibility in post than Clog and Clog3…. is probably me not doing it right but for me is a night and day difference RAW vs. Clog how much more post processing I can do and fix mistakes. Bonus that on my PC the RAW Light file are much easier to edit than 10bit Clog ones. At the end the only question is if you need long takes and in case that things go south can you live with 4k SQ if the camera would overheat? In my case it has never overheated in 8K RAW Light in my usage (but it will eventually happen). I got at the limit a couple of times at 30-35° C under the sun shooting at 4k 120 fps, this is the mode that seems to overheats the most.

I just got my hands on a Ninja V. I did a test shooting towards a window. Today is a bright sunny day so the light is very heavy outside. I exposed to retain the highlights and then pushed the ISO from 640 to 6400 to bring up the shadows. While it's very noisy I don't see any banding or fixed noise pattern. The noise seems free from any artificial noise reduction, would probably clean up nicely in neat video. Below is normally exposed, while trying to retain the highlights a bit. It retains a lot of highlight detail while remaining noise free in the midtones and shadows. Overall RAW from the S1 off the Ninja V is amazing. The one thing I'd like is a curves tab in the RAW control panel in FCP. Outside of adjusting ISO you can't push and pull the shadows and highlights much as it doesn't seem to be modifying the RAW data. The only hindrance on the S1 is moire from the lack of anti aliasing filter. I'd also note the RAW to VLOG conversion is not giving the same colors as VLOG off the S1 internal files.

Agreed. Without idea if the technical Oscar suits the job but look, this is extraordinary, I've never seen anything like it before. Underrated accessory product that is actually camera life-changing.

Absolutely amazing at this level... : ) I'd firmly nominate you for an Academy Award for Technical Achievement aka Technical Oscar and trust me, from my experience with my previous Herr Doktor Horst Linge (Isco), your achievement is on such list ; ) You're a third party player, not a major camera manufacturer bigwig (yet) ! ;- ) - E.

The live video walkthrough of the QuadLock functionality is here The AFX v1.7 firmware update will be released on Wednesday 21st and includes a possibly interesting new focus function.

No idea who else over us, I am one of their users... Here's an useful entry to whom might be interested: https://cyberraidentech.blogspot.com/2020/09/potplayer-best-settings.html

From my experience, I have noticed I get a more richer and robust footage shooting User profile (All sections dialed to 0) better than shooting C-log on the EOS R and 1DC.
