Yeah I'm still pretty upset the R6 didn't get any kind of overheating fix but at least R5 seems like a solid option now. I'm in the US currently and there are some pretty good deals ($3,500) not to mention the second hand market. This makes the R5 a lot more appealing than the R5C now imo since you gain IBIS, battery life etc for at least a $1000 cheaper. Kind of a game changer I guess. Its finally the killer hybrid spec camera it was meant to be and the price is getting appealing too.

Yes and this is where for me the R5 is interesting because ditch the ND’s and crank the shutter speed to say min 1/250th and then simply pull stills. I have tried with in both 4k 50p and 6k 25p mode with my Lumix cameras. Pretty decent results so I can imagine what 8k stills would be like. As a fast-paced hybrid shooter faced at any point with one or the other, it’s easy, go video because you have a chance of pulling stills from the footage but you can’t make a movie from your stills unless shooting 24/25fps! One day I need to do an entire job of exclusively not shooting any stills but pulling it all 100% from the video. Now it ‘does not’ overheat, that could be interesting with an R5…

no both have the frame in magnesium but the r6 has the body in polycarbonate while the r5 has it in magnesium .. this dissipates more than the r6.

That is ONE stealthy Emu!

Maybe it is time to forgive the EOS R5. The inanimate object that is. Not the decision makers behind the omnishambles that has been the last 2 years of unreliable firmware.

I have the R5C and the R5 and I prefer the R5C setup over the always on IBIS in the R5 for video. At least with the RF 24-70 the OIS + EIS combo has worked amazingly well for hand held static and controlled handheld pans and tilts in my experience. IBIS wobble is horrible. I come to really notice it and hate it.

LP-E6NH give me on average about 30-35 minutes of actual record time with occasional waveform and false color usage, 4K XF-AFC, Continuous AF, Lens IS. If you are running and gunning you can use the media button hack and extend standby battery life considerably probably even more if you flick the IS Off on the lens as well.

It sucks ass. - A R5C owner I enjoy using the camera though and just carry 3x more batteries with me than if using just my R5. You can rig and shoot for hours but I don't like using cables if I don't have too. I would have gotten a C70 but would prefer FF with RF glass I have.

Yeah! While I am still on my R5 that was bought 2 years ago lol 😆 But seems like he still have FX3? So some camera he just keep I think. I bought R5 mainly for the no overheating on standard 4k, I don't really that 8k or 45mp, but lately on some greenscreen shot i done the 8k is quite useful for controlling spills like woman's hair or wedding veil due to high resolution.

FWIW, he went from C70 to FX3 to R5 to R5C.. and now back to R5?! all in the span of 10 months lol.

I'm telling you... people that don't know are completely oblivious... people look at 8 seconds and think thats nothing. But if you are at a wedding or any other event... where candid moments are happening on the micro-second level... those 8 seconds feel like an eternity. Those that don't know - I challenge you... you don't need to be a photographer/videographer at the event... but the next time you attend one... just pay attention... find those candid moments and just count... 1 mississippi... 2 mississippi.... all the way to 8 mississippi... then tell us that 8 seconds is nothing.

I was once stalked by an emu. true story. A mate and i were out camping on a another mates property. We'd ventured out for a morning walk and quite enjoyable it was until we heard this deep booming call. It was quite an ominous sound not the kinda sound you can easily forget and straight away you knew it was big. It was bushy but it opened up every ten meters or so. These birds are fast, fast as a horse. So it was pretty much, backs against the trees while we kept moving forward after about 5 mins we found a nest with green eggs in it. Never touched the eggs. Took a few photos and kept moving forward, All the time this bird kept calling out, letting us know it was there, after a ten minutes or so the sound died out and we breathed a little easier. Not once did either of us see it. I will say my mate is a very good hunter, if he couldn't see it then it didn't want to be seen, I wouldn't say i was scared, i would say it was one of those times where every sense seemed condensed / focused, even time seemed to slow, not sure how the mind does it but it seems as vivid now as 25 years ago.

A couple of frame grabs to show the AF R5c, AF at max speed, at 200mm at F2.8, on a gimbal with me walking fast. 50fps, 1/100 100 fps 1/200

Considering the abusive way that he treats his cameras, it's good that he has more than one: "DON'T DO IT!"

Indeed, but I guess the R6 is just too cheap so to protect the R5 sales, they will not fix the overheating. Still surprised they didn't limit the R6 to 1 sd card and max 1/4000 shutter like the 6D series.
