Does Dynamic Active Stabilization works on the 24-70 F4? I heard it doesn't work on 3rd party lens, but I m not sure about older Sony lens. Your video there is really stable, I think more stable than 28-60mm?

I actually got a few project coming up that I m gonna try with E1 instead of using C70/R5C. I think i've gone overboard with my response and can't edit those post anymore so I m just gonna move on.

I see you like to make yourself superior by looking others who are less fortunate in terms of finance, but sorry i m just sick of you attacking people who use camera that doesn't use the same way as you do. Of course for you it always about you you and you, it easy to see based on your comment, I wonder what happend to your life, no wonder on dpreview no one gives a shit about the all those video post you posted.

E1 is definitely not the target audience for people who are on this forum, youtube is definitely is. Having said that, a fan and e1 and a lens still cost way less than a fx3, and times that by 3 the price difference is quite a lot. And seriously is that all you shoot? Just a bunch of random video with random strangers doing their own stuff that give you voyeuristic feel? Especially if you want something small so people don't notice that you are filming them in secret?

I actually bought the fan

That why I have the really thin smallrig micro hdmi to hdmi cable and hdmi connector to connect to the thick hdmi cable. I usually wrap the cable around the tripod head to make sure the cable won't rip camera apart. But yeah micro hdmi is not idea but there are ways to get around the filmsy connector.

This is with R7 and R5 livestreaming and recording in camera on both (R7 was on the other side)

Yes it can, I been doing in camera recording multi cam livestream with Canon many times on R7, R5 and now R8 beside C70 and R5C. Don't choose the camera +hdmi option period if u need recording in camera

You can do clean hdmi out with recording, make sure nothing is displayed before you press record. I done countless livesteram on Canon.

Yeah seems like people outside US getting the shaft in terms of pricing.

Z8 does make R5 look dated, Canon and Sony better have stacked sensor for their next cam at this price range with 45mp+ sensor.

R5II definitely need stack sensor to compete against Z8

Part of the camera history just gone like that

For me having FF 4K50P is definitely priority number one, you loose the FF look and also the noise too vs APSC crop and make focal length less wide, I have used my R5 with external monitors for many times and the micro hdmi port still hold up well even though my R5 have gone through some tough situations (lots of paint clips around the body or dropped from the table.. camera still tough as tank), I haven't seen any overheating warning even when shooting 8K stock footage whole day under the big sun with not clouds so that initial overheating firmware is real B$ from canon. R6 have to cropped a bit in FF 4K (5K oversample) and upscale a bit in crop 4K so quality is a bit less than R6II/R8 with full 6K FF/1:1 in crop 4k. Since I also shoot in controlled environment with 300D/600D lights so DR is not much of an issue vs shooting everything natural/ambient/small light for some of the people out there. For XLR Audio I just get Zoom F3 with 32bit float which you dont have to worry about peaking ever. Not every system is perfect but we can get creative with those short coming, you just choose whatever suits you as there and try work out the kinks as there is no perfect system out there.

My original plan was R8 + R7 combo, but like you I dont have much ASPC lens except the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 and 18-150mm rf-s lens, I did use the 18-150mm on a number of jobs cause for event having good focal range is the king. The Sigma 18-35 1.8 not so much cause I got 24-70mm 2.8 which is similar size/weight but more reach, so I decide to sell the R7 and keep R5 at end. In here for the price S5II body you can R8+24-50mm kit + RF 50mm 1.8 + used 35mm 1.8 or ef 17-40mm f4 or ef 24-105 f4 or ef 70-200 f4 .. so for me R8 is definitely the better buy, if you want to shoot 4K50p/60P the 20 end become 30mm which is not so wide. But if S5II with kit and 50mm is similar as R8 over there then go ahead I guess?

Yeah, I hope they fix the CDAF on FHD 50P/60P mode, cause that is ridiculous.

Haven't run into overheating here as it is autumn heading into winter.. but I feel it wont last as long as R7 or R5 during summer time, I did got up to 4-5 bars under full sun in the afternoon for 4K50p during ceremony. (temp 20-21c), on 4K25p only up to 2 bars. I have yet to see the bar appearing on R7. HDR-PQ is for HDR display which u dont need to grade if it is playing on HDR device, but you can grade it like log profile and export for SDR monitor which is what the guy did for that R50 video.

This guy managed to get 4K60p recording from 40min to over 1hr 40min with this fan kit

No EVF is a key feature according to Sony Wonder how long the the camera last with 4K120P in july/aug temperature.. The processor on those new camera felt much more refined vs 2-3 year old release, the R8 makes my R5 felt a bit old for sure lol.

Will share once I done the edit Just use HDR-PQ which will have more DR than cinestyle profile, like this guy shot in HDR to get the most of DR.

Sorry but VR and VP will need 8K, just because you dont need it doesn't mean others dont need it either.

So I used both R7 and R8 on a music festival, again R7 1 battery last whole night (4k25p), R8 I used pd powerbank so I don't have to swap battery. Though I do see the overheating warning bar appearing on R8 but again only up to 1 bar, on R7 I didn't see the bar at all. The R7 with Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 is a killer combo, the 4k crop mode is really handy for zoom in (make the 35mm end into a 100mm equivalent zoom), and IS is tripod like stability even in a crowded space, just the 4k60p and lowlight noise is not as good as the R8.

Canon DM-E1 shotgun mic allows you to switch between mono and 90/120 degree stereo, uses 3.5mm input so any camera can work.
