  1. Most recent manual focus full frame film below, tiny crew, basically one DP. I get what you're saying - AF makes things easily for a single operator. But there are now a number of very high profile feature films with a single camera operator (even Oscar nominated) shot on small manual focus cameras like the GH2, 5D 3, and in similar manner to Sigma Fp in Sin-sin for instance (GH2 sometimes at F0.95 no less). Not only are they artistically a successful cinematic achievement, the smaller camera and more direct hands-on control for the director and cinematographer was the primary reason for getting away from ARRI or a RED. AF also has a tendency to do what the machine wants, rather than the human. No AF is bullet proof. If it wonders off, that's the entire take ruined and you have to go again without any guarantees it will be better.
  2. I know all that but I only mentioned it to prove you wrong. You said you need to use a dedicated video camera to avoid overheating. I rest my case.
  3. Bride: "I would prefer it if you used a Nikon D850"
  4. This is a good post. CFExpress cards do get very hot to the touch. So not surprising to see that they have built in overheating protection. However the EOS R5 is not alone in overheating. Other cameras without CFExpress do too. And other cameras with CFExpress do not (1D X III). So the main factor is not CFExpress. I think CFExpress probably does contribute some heat into the innards of the EOS R5 and makes the problem a bit worse. But the main problem is always going to be the throttling of the CPU. Just like in your laptop when it's over the thermal limits. In place of the CFExpress card slot on the EOS R5 should have been a passive heat sink like the Sigma Fp. And the CFExpress card slot should have its own tiny heatsink like M.2 SSD drives do in a PC. A bit of a re-design would be required, but it could all still fit into a mirrorless camera body the size of the EOS R5. They just haven't been proactive enough in wanting a solution. They know that pros should get a Cinema EOS camera, and they want to keep it that way.
  5. ARRI Alexa LF users would disagree.
  6. A small Aussie bird told me: Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro with full frame sensor may be announced https://www.eoshd.com/news/rumour-blackmagic-pocket-6k-pro-with-full-frame-sensor-may-be-announced/ Take this as a rumour. 8/10 sure about the source. 👍
  7. The initial information was official as well. It was never a pre-production issue that would go away in the retail box camera. That's the Jared Polin line. We don't need another thread with the same topic as the others so this one is being binned.
  8. Alright Toneh? Alright our kid. Wanna go down Market street and score some cameras? Yeah mint. See ya later Toneh.
  9. Surprisingly the original Canon engineer meme garnered over 100,000 views. YouTube audience know high quality content when they see it!
  10. The front page of EOSHD now has several of my shitposts on it https://www.eoshd.com/opinion/sony-announces-new-rumour-camera-yours-for-just-4000/ I sincerely hope nobody reads them! The EOS R5 may indeed be fake. Nobody has actually done a side by side comparison yet! The A7S III does however exist as the infamous Sony Rumours Camera Model 3 4K 120 GRAIL. Even the lambasted Sony menus have all been overhauled to resemble 12 pages of DPReview interviews with powerful Sony executives. The Creative Styles menu now has seven pages of arguments under it about Sony skin-tones and if you select the Sony Alpha Rumors mode the feed from the sensor speeds up and shoots a burst of 200 clickbait rumours onto CFExpress. Instead of a user manual it ships with so many online shopping codes that buying the Sony Alpha Rumour Mark III Filmmaker's Kit will save you $50 on the cost of Sandisk CFExpress cards* *You will need $5000 of them to store 12 rumours
  11. So upset he didn't get a camera, he had to take a cold shower!
  12. S35 sensor does go well in a M43 mount as JVC showed. Blackmagic have such great innards. It is time to step up the game and put them in a camera body worthy of the image, sensor, codec, and touchscreen UI. A $2500 Pocket camera with EVF and IBIS would be a roaring success.
  13. 8000 cats, no wonder the EOS R5 pet detection is overheating
  14. Tony & Chelsea subscribers are serious about photography? 😂 That's like saying the 43rumors comments section is full of artists.
  15. EF mount too big for Micro camera. 44mm flange. Hopefully if they have any sense it will be a micro camera with E mount!
  16. I want every post in this thread to be a Philip Bloom 8K cat joke.
  17. Pocket 6K sensor in a Fuji X-T4 body! Oh no wait... No profit in that! Because it's another Potato camera body?
  18. MEDIA ALERT! https://www.eoshd.com/opinion/media-alert-a-canon-engineer-on-8k-and-overheating/
  19. He puts the overheating down to him not getting a sample to do a side by side comparison with at his pool table. If only Canon had given him the camera, all would be fixed and we'd have 8K recording until the $500 card fills up after 10 minutes.
  20. I am relieved to see this... No NOBS sponsor Tony's videos, unlike the NOBS at Canon who sponsor Peter's.
  21. Found the 43rumors guy At first I thought it was Jon Pais but was relieved to find out he's actually Australian.
