I would suggest Panasonic buy Leica BTW.

Panasonic were first to the mirrorless market but late to the full frame mirrorless market. They need to take a long term view and hope that Canon RF / Sony E-mount lenses don't come to dominate. The lenses are very important. Panasonic have made great cameras, and in Micro Four Thirds had a great range of optics at all price levels. With the S-series optics they are starting all over again, but E-mount is already very well established. This is a problem. Sigma are competition in their own backyard with more appealing lenses across the board at better prices. With Leica and Sigma on board, L-mount has a enthusiast and professional niche of customers, who will be around long after the mainstream has moved on from cameras entirely and Canon has gone back to concentrating on medical and selling photocopiers. But if Panasonic want to compete for Sony and Canon proportions of the market in terms of volume, I think they need to take the long term view... And get people on board with the L-mount system. Lacking phase-detect AF or good AF with EF lenses doesn't help. Fundamentally I think Panasonic can only continue to move forward in cameras. It is Nikon I am more worried about!

Thanks for letting us know. Strange that it works on my EOS R5 but not the R6. I am still on original firmware 1.0.0 by the way. Did you confirm date with OK and exit the menu?

UPDATE: I have tried the date/time trick without defeating the battery door sensor. Just pull the battery as normal and it works. https://www.eoshd.com/news/magic-lantern-users-create-practical-canon-eos-r5-overheating-timer-workaround/

The best thing you can say about Canon is they are really galvanising the community against them, into unlocking the full potential of what's on offer in terms of the amazing achievement of the engineers. Canon gives so much power to their marketing, sales and accountants - promoting them above the heads of senior engineers, and it shows doesn't it?!

Not for me to explain, ask him. Canon did it to me as well in the past. They are very hard to communicate with. With Tilta, I am starting to think the fan cage was a social media event to grab some attention and doesn't actually exist.

In my opinion we need to take this community spirit and achievement, and present it to Canon in such a way that they start talking and fixing. I'm also reaching out to Tilta to see what the score is there, with the fan cage.

It is a standing on the shoulders of giants effort - as a1ex said on the ML forum. I don't think it's helpful for any individual to claim the plaudits. People should be careful about making money from information that should be freely shared. And people should rightfully feel miffed if their groundwork, effort and graft is not acknowledged or credited in later discoveries... Because it's all a collaborative chain. Anyway the most important thing is that it progresses towards a usable solution, as is happening... Meanwhile Canon continue to blank us and in the case of Gerald Undone after his review which covered overheating in-depth, completely ghost him. Meanwhile a site like DPReview which has toed the PR line and not contributed anything to the discourse, get rewarded with thousands of USD via marketing agreements and sponsored content like the EOS R6 video today. Fair? No. On ethical grounds I will be very reluctant ever to buy another Canon product again.

I don't really understand what you are saying. Anyway, yes it's great that the community and individual users put in the hard work and came up with a workaround so you can feel better about giving $4000 to Canon now... a company that in my opinion lied to their customers, refused to apologise, refused even to acknowledge anything was wrong. They are not off the hook. An official fix and apology is the only path back for them in my eyes, and whatever little reputation their sales & marketing people have left in terms of honesty. In my opinion they knew they'd played fast and loose with consumer law as well - which in my opinion was what the latest firmware update was all about - ensuring that they couldn't be sued in a class action by not measuring temps in the first release of the camera. In my view, the second firmware adds the temps into the mix in a pretty superficial way just so they can claim it's actually about temperature and thermal protection! Disgusting behaviour! Let's never lose sight of that and stop demanding that they come clean.

I have both the Merrill DP2/DP3... and the newer Quattro. I'd say they are both superb but Merrill is more low-fi, not quite as technicolor. They are like different types of film really.

I quite like the look of 1.5 Iscorama or Bolex in 16:9 so not a major dealbreaker for me. Heck, I even like the super-wide anamorphic look of 2x from 16:9!! 3.55:1! The more black bars the better! Only Panasonic really recognise anamorphic shooters at the moment. Not even Sony have an open gate mode on the A7S III.

Oh yeah Canon are all forgiven now! Not.

Sure about this? Has this been tested? The real overheating warning past 65C that is? 65C still seems too low for a shutdown. I didn't think there was a 'real overheating' warning at this level.

And you don't need to change the card this time either?

I agree, that 8K even at low bitrates makes for stunning 4K. I have 8K on an Xiaomi Mi 10 smartphone, and it doesn't pixel peep well to say the least! But viewed at 4K it's glorious.

What was ambient?

Thanks and well done 🙂 Now to see if it melts 😉

Yes it does seem Canon are bothering to make it look like they measure actual temps!! Thanks for your discoveries. Maybe the Tilta fan cage will work after all?

Hey dude Nice job. Have you tried the Canon EOS R5 vertical battery grip yet? Can you pull the battery out of that and it pulls power from the camera like an external battery does?

It's also shot type dependant. Close-ups of plants, oranges, etc. don't demand as much resolution as a wide angle shot of a landscape at infinity focus.

I can tell the difference between 4K YouTube and 1080p. Just not in Safari!

X-H2 should be a mini $3000 GFX 100 I am undecided on whether that means S35 or MF!!

"User" is now sending me malicious communications via the contact form and has made a death threat. So his home IP address, user data, threats and malicious emails are all going to be handed over to law enforcement in his country.

Petapixel did not do the teardown. So please link to the source! It ain't hard!! One click more! https://kolarivision.com/eos-r5-and-r6-overheating-timer-chip/ It is very interesting. Magic Lantern want to probe the chip on a scope too.

As well as telling "User" to stop attacking people, I sent "User" the following in a PM before the ban: "Can I ask you a favour. Please don't post links to deleted EOSHD topics in the Google Cache because Bloom is on a lawyer rampage at the moment... "I don't want to kick up a legal fuss... "Very important: For legal reasons please do not mention any of this on the forum... "Please keep this to yourself too. I am telling you because I trust you. So please reward that trust mate." The rest I've redacted. Do you know what "User" did next? Emailed the whole lot to Philip Bloom.
