As I'm sure you know and you just misspoke, you need an external drive for 12bit 4K, not an external recorder. You can shoot internal 12bit 1080p, but ML Raw has an undeniably better IQ, in all respects, than the FP's FHD. I agree about the IBIS, but I don't really see a point for ML Raw with the R5? You can already shoot internal raw. But all of the Canon IBIS cameras are Digic X, so it will be a long time before they break that code. It will be interesting to see what they can do with the EOS-R and hopefully the M50. I'd actually be really happy if they were able to enable continuous MLV raw on the 5D4. But I'm still really impressed with what the 5D3 with ML Raw and a Canon IS lens is capable of handheld. So maybe I'm just easily impressed.

Next to nothing, there is one listed right now for a buy now price of US$825.99: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276260362267 Also, if this is working for the AJA Cion, then I wonder, the Blackmagic Production 4K Camera and the URSA 4K / URSA Mini 4K all share the same sensor as the AJA Cion, could the same process work for them too? They're even cheaper!

I spent a lot of time testing different configurations to make the FP more ergonomic. I finally found the best cage and drive to keep it, relatively, compact without going down the Dark Labs rabbit hole... With that said, out of the box, the camera isn't much bigger than the original eos-m, so when you add a cage, the ssd, lens adapter and lens, it morphs into a much larger camera that isn't much smaller than my 5D3 but much more cumbersome. The screen is pretty nice on the FP and excuse the pun, but with the 5D3, you can see the "magic" of raw on the LCD. With the FP, although it's a better screen, the image has a very flat, dimensional look. Battery life isn't that great with the FP either, compared to the 5D3... I'd say you can get about 45 minutes, or so. In some ways, the FP would probably work better if fully rigged out or if the barebones camera was on a gimbal with the SSD attached to the gimbal's handle. With my current setup, I'd say @BTM_Pix 's approach using M mount lenses would probably be the most compact route. I've been looking at some LTM lenses, so we'll see. In a perfect world, I'd have the money to buy an R5C or R5ii when it gets released, but that doesn't seem likely, so I'll decide what to do with my FP. To tell the truth, if someone offered me a good price, I'd consider selling it right now. I got OpenAI for video now.

"I feel like I spent 20 years of my life swimming suddenly they let motorboats into the Olympics." Quite the analogy! But an understandable feeling And you don't think having easy to access free/perfect/immediate plastic surgery wouldn't also have a major impact upon culture? So? Most people are not making films every day! Most people are not even watching a movie every day. But AI will undoubtedly be massively changing both how we make and how we consumer movies. My point is that: 1) people want to look their best in pics, thus they pose 2) culture changes, it was once not normal to smile in photos, but now it is So what?? Most people can't even vaguely explain how a camera works. Does that stop them using cameras??? Nope!! Heck, there is probably nobody on the planet who can explain in great detail all of how a camera works to take a photo. And certainly for the average casual consumer they do not care at all in the slightest that to them a camera is a totally mysterious and magical black box. If people on this forum wish to suck on a guy, I won't be judging them for it. Let them live their lives freely!

I suspect you've fallen foul of the "y" being adjacent to the "t" on the keyboard there.

It's called a Sigma FP and I assume it's due for an update soon.

Great news and I hope they can concentrate on EOS R and the mirrorless cameras, as the DSLRs don't appeal to me any more. I have my doubts the 7D Mark II will do 4K RAW... EOS R on the other hand, much more promising.
