Battery life only last 1hr with 4k.. so need either PD powerbank or charge battery often. R7 battery life on the other hand last ages, R5 was on 2nd battery and R7 still on 1st battery when shooting the reception, both shooting 4k25p. To me the weight saving alone is totally worth it, atm I m shoot 3 out of 6 days so far, the 277g weight saving make a difference to me as I m not as exhausted vs using R5. So now I m tempted to get RS3 mini to have even more weight saving.

Just got the R8 today and use it for an Indian Ceremony, shot most of it in 4K50P and the heating indicator only goes up to 1 bar so that is not bad. So much lighter vs the R5 on gimbal, I can felt the weight saving!

Personal cam is R5 and R7 for freelance and travel At work using C70 and R5C.

From that announcement it look like they have quite a few feature updates planned for R5C, this is just the beginning! Will Canon pull ahead vs other brand in terms of firmware update this year as they have released all the mirrorless camera they want to release this year, all that left is using firmware update to expand the feature even more.

The Canon RF 16mm 2.8 and RF 50mm 1.8 can be had for cheaper than a single Sigma, how time have changed. I wonder how they fare vs Samyang's offering

Enhanced clear scan vs LED wall is pretty huge for event or virtual production. The amount of time I have to trial and error is ridiculous on some events.

https://www.canonrumors.com/more-features-coming-to-canon-eos-r5-in-future-firmware-cr2/ Seems like there will be 2 more feature firmware coming to R5. I hope one of them is 30min removal.

It's pretty much the same for all other companies like mobile provider, power companies, bank etc try to lure new user with amazing deals while existing customer base they dont give a frak. In terms of income of course new product will give company more revenue vs firmware update which wont get company new revenue and that wont cover the cost of those programmers/testers which the company have to pay themselves.

Yeah it works, but you loose the lowlight advantage in S35, I found FF mode still give u more much cleaner image, and you lose the FF bokeh look unless you got speedbooster with EF lens. But if u just use apsc for that 4k60p and ff prime for stills I think it can work. Better than 28-75 on S35 cause it will be too narrow

I agree with Django that feels like home video vibe, I really dont like the 50p/60p mode on youtube except for sports which i dont mind. Good thing in PAL land is 25P still feel cinematicish vs 30p on NTSC

That guy is really good, definitely a filmmaker and not a youtuber/tiktoker, compare to his other travel film done on a6500 3 years ago he improved quite a lot! (and he is quite young) I doubt avg joe or even experienced one can create that kind of work.

Look at ZV-1F... what a failure that one is, and dont get me started on the QX series! Though still kudo for them to try something different, I just wish they could use a better sensor, the R6II's sensor seem to be pefect for E1 with FF 4K60P, enough res to crop anything and still have proper 4K. Maybe Canon should do one out side the box vlogging camera too, they should really scratch that C50/R7C and make a E1 competitor, cause that where the money is

So I guess they gonna let this power sucking problem keep going? That is quite a disappointment. They really need to implant a serious power saving mode during standby.

The default profile on Sony is quite greenish and yellow, I thought they would have fixed it by IV..

Still better than the how many firmware that A7SIII got for $3500 when it was released, A7SIII could really use the IBIS shift to make its MP much bigger for starter. At least if I want really high resolution I have the option, rather than no option. Though I hope it will have RAW in the future like other brand do. I kinda feel for A7SIII user, paying big money but the service that Sony provide is pretty skimpy.

Yeah

Meanwhile R5 got new firmware that does 402MP photos from ibis shift, not bad for a cam that is older than a7siii.

Interesting is if you use it for external HDMI it can still overheat I guess it is really for vlogging camera.

And micro hdmi .. suddenly on Sony that is not a flaw.

For pros FX30 is a much more reliable camera with the active cooling. Sony should have priced this at $1500 to match the R8, at $2200 it is a bit overpriced with no evf, no mechanical shutter (have fun take photo under fluorescent or some odd light) , overheats in 4k60p, no crop mode 4k.

Wonder which camera will last longer at 4k60P, the og R6 or this new Sony cam?

Damn that is shocking indeed! But giving the current economy situation I can kinda see many corpo want to cut as much cost as possible.

Well in the places I am in they are selling 20% more than brand new.

Thanks to tiktok this camera is the next PS5 in terms of price gauging, even older X100 series benefit by having their resell value going up to. I wish I bought one of the used ones last year as now the price is really nuts!
