Looking good but after 10 years of repeated disappointment, I'll wait for the final release to make a judgement on this camera. I hope for the beast but fear the small*, **, ***, and other omissions on the official press release. May the Hawaiian gods of photography illuminate the world with their infinite wisdom. Amen.

In a recent interview Canon said that the EOS R5 is the 5D series equivalent for mirrorless so "normally" it shouldn't be around $3,500. Perhaps a bit more at $4k. “It’s aimed at that level of the market. This isn’t a replacement for the 5D Mark IV or anything like that. But this is a mirrorless 5-series, it’s aimed at that segment of the market,” As for the heat: “We’ve been doing this for a while now and we’ve learnt a lot of techniques to dissipate heat on other products that we have in our lineup. For example, being able to move components around, and being able to have them further away from each other,” “And being able to dissipate heat using different materials has been something we’ve been pretty proud of on other products. This is something we’ve learnt using both our camera and our video Cinema EOS series with that technology as well,” “So there’s a lot of technology that we know is now coming together and giving us the ability to really step up these specifications,” We'll see, but I also have my doubt considering that much larger C cameras have a big fan. Perhaps there will be some sort of burst recording mode.

I think we can all agree that this type of specs coming from Canon marks the end of the world Unless that thing cost $8k as well.

Looking good so far but I that would be very surprising, is Canon finally realizing that crippling and stupid product segmentation is counter productive or is there a catch somewhere? Canon EOS R5 video specs include 8K/30, 4K/120 with Raw, 10-bit H.265 and full AF https://***URL removed***/news/2500538743/canon-eos-r5-video-8k-30-4k-120-with-raw-10-bit-h-265-and-full-af From the official press release: 8K RAW internal video recording up to 29.97 fps 8K internal video recording up to 29.97 fps in 4:2:2 10-bit Canon Log (H.265)/4:2:2 10-bit HDR PQ (H.265). 4K internal video recording up to 119.88 fps in 4:2:2 10-bit Canon Log (H.265)/4:2:2 10-bit HDR PQ (H.265). 4K external recording is also available up to 59.94 fps. No crop 8K and 4K video capture using the full-width of the sensor. (When in 8K RAW, 8K/4K DCI modes). Dual Pixel CMOS AF available in all 8K and 4K recording modes. Canon Log available in 8K and 4K internal recording modes. A Canon first, the EOS R5 will feature 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilization, which works in conjunction with Optical IS equipped with many of the RF and EF lenses. Dual-card slots: 1x CFexpress and 1x SD UHS-II. At this point, I'm wondering if it will be continuous or just short burst

I have the C200 and we did some basic tests with a friend who just purchased a C500 Mk2. In real life, without pixel pipping, I was very surprised by the lack of noticeable different in term of IQ. The DR on the C200, even in 8bit is very good. But the surprising part on the C500 is the noticeable amount of noise even at low ISO in XF-AVC 10bit. Shooting with the intermediate codec on this camera is like going raw as far as noise goes. There is little NR applied. While I understand the heavy noise pattern in Cine lite raw (both C200 and C500), this is surprising to find that much noise for the middle ground codec. Also, there is no 8 bits mode on the C500, or a least I didn't find it during my quick test. Won't be a huge deal for most C500 user but 8 bits can be handy sometime.

Same as what @fuzzynormal said. Also, there is an option to save a project with all the used media in the timeline (and exclude the others). Of course all that will depend of the complexity of your project and numbers of files.

Thanks. To be honest I kind of selected the footage, it was not empty like that all the time, I only use the shots with no people. I also did a little bit of masking for the highway footage.

Yeah, I have a good collection of cameras and lenses but I always feel the urge to buy something more. Then I ask myself the following questions: Do I really need this, what value is this new piece of equipment going to bring? Can't my current gear perform most of the job already? Is this new piece of gear radically change my production speed and capacity? Look at all the stuff you bought in the past and barely use now, is there a chance this new acquisition will end-up taking dust like the other one? Most of the time, I realize that I don't really need the new fantasized gear. Just think about it for a few days before making an impulsive purchase. For instance, my main cameras for timelapse are the Canon 6D (I got 3 of them) and I always hate the poor DR of this camera. I want to upgrade or switch to another brand. But then I realize that it would be costly and most importantly, I don't remember any project were DR was a major limiting factor for my creative vision or the customer need... Also, 90% of the time my issue doesn't come from gear but from external factors, procrastination being a bit one! I'm currently producing a documentary and gear is the least of my concern. You can shoot great stuff with any mid-range stuff nowadays. I also use 20% of my gears 80% of the time. But sometime, the less used one are absolutely key to finish a project. If anything, my next big spending will be my desktop workstation. It need a refresh and I eventually spend much more time behind my computer doing editing than behind a camera.

I do, Sunshine state. We are below everybody but above anyone when it comes to madness +1

Haha, I must admit that traffic is much nicer now in Miami

You are right! I keep forgetting about this one... If Andrew stop by, he is more than welcome to move this post to the sub-forum. And thanks btw.

Here is my shot at this Gears: GH5 for the video Canon 6D for the timelapse Mavic Air and Mavic 2 Zoom for the aerial shots. The audio was entirely designed by my friends at https://www.boxoftoysaudio.com/ They are based in UK if you need audio music composition and SFX. Great pros. I hope everyone here is safe and stay that way. Cheers.

Was not that bad, I mostly shot from rooftops and secured locations (Pão de Açúcar, Corcovado, etc.). The rest was in Ipanema and Copacabana which is relatively safe. It ain't Tokyo for sure...

Nothing wrong with the first shot. It looks very good actually. I just finds the message a bit "naive", kind of an advert for UN or something like that (we are all one, share common issue, no borders, etc.). But that's just my feeling. Even-thought the purpose of the message nice and I agree with it, we saw a vastly different response in the world (most countries closing borders, competition between people and countries to find limited supplies). But that's a positive message, there is nothing wrong with it. And again, the editing and grading is top quality. Very good work.

The scenario is a bit cheesy (no offense) to my taste but the images and editing are excellent. Indeed, nice video library! Good job.

Let's take a few minutes to appreciate this performance

+1 to this, back to cameras! 👍 Stay safe.

Common sense and science are two different things... No preparedness, that's obviously true. But, this is very hard at this point to find gel, mask and ventilators because the demand from government and individual has been soaring and this is becoming a production and logistic nightmare: how do we produce100 or 1000x fold more masks and gel with crippled production capacity in China and a nearly paralyzed logistic chain? Every government right now is working like crazy to solve this question (ok, BoJo might not be ). In France, the perfume and cosmetic industry has been mobilized to manufacture gel. As for the mask, there is a need for special fiber to manufacture them which is not easy. And what do we do next? Where do we place the cursor? Should we also store thousands of Leval A suits, complete CBRN capacities, a load of machines for ICUs? All that has a price, how prepared should we be? This question is valid for the taxpayers because they'll have to pay the price. The reason Italy and Japan have such large elderly population is because they don't reproduce. Their birth rate is among the lowest in the world. Japan also doesn't allow much immigration which is one of the reason they are actively developing domestic robots to assist with regular tasks. Their diets and lifestyle only helps to increase lifespan which generate additional issue with the pension system. And yeah, the US health "care" system (business) sucks ball, and I also think that it's going to hit us hard over here now that we are conducting proper testing. Stay safe mate!

Hey, once again I agree with the situation in UK, the non-response from BoJo is insane... All I'm saying is that these days, everyone is an expert on the matter... but when you read real experts opinion they are very very careful in their statements. The truth is that no one really know why Japan hasn't been more impacted and I wouldn't bet my money that the situation won't get worse over there. I just don't know and the experts don't really know neither (however they point out the lack of testing). Pandemics have complex dynamic, this is only the beginning and you may actually have to update your post in a few weeks with "ALL governments are criminally negligent over Coronavirus". As for preparedness, the health minister in France that acted in 2009 against the "harmless" H1N1 flu was dragged to court and ridiculed at the time for her actions. I can only imagine the opposite scenario if Europe locked down late January, shut down the economy and cancel all the trade shows for nothing. We would have rage articles all over the place, people bitching about another EU failure etc.. This forum would be full of posts from people complaining about lost job opportunity and lack of common sense from the governments... It's very easy and comfortable to criticize afterward. You' ll always find someone who said it was inevitable (sometime with very good reasons btw).

Death rate is just a ratio and it seems that Germany conducted a lot of testing early on which might explain the issue (same thing in Korea). Also, it is still very early to tell at this point. https://www.ft.com/content/c0755b30-69bb-11ea-800d-da70cff6e4d3

Andrew, I like your camera expertise but I don't know about your background in virology and epidemiology... Be careful with that type of statement (manslaughter, incompetence, etc.). While I agree that the heard immunity in UK seems to be utter BS, I would be more careful with the conclusion and prospective at this point. This is a very complex issue that no government ever faced before. It seems that Taiwan and Singapore were better prepared due to the lessons learned during the first SARS pandemic in 2003. As for Japan, this is a bit early to tell at this point, there are many factors at play such as: - The rate of testing (can't find stuff that you are not looking for) - Government response - Logistic and supply chain - Public behavior and social acceptance of the rules (very strong in Asia) - State and quality of the health care system (USA...) - Health of the population - Demographic (eg. Italy and Japan are among have the oldest population in the world) Back during the H1N1 flu outbreak in 2009, the french minister of health ordered massive amount of vaccines and masks that cost billions. Eventually, it proved useless and the government was mocked. It created a little political scandal at the time. The minister was even brought to court by some doctors who said the vaccine was dangerous. People are going to complain no matter what...

I spent 5 minutes on the few first posts looking for some sort of logic, background and credential but I found none. Therefore, I didn't waste my time reading 900 posts on reddit from anonymous sources and the conclusion from wacko ELI5 neither. Unless you can provide better source, which I tried to do before (but it didn't spark any interest I see), I'm not going to bother with borderline conspiracy theory. Yeah, I can run the number in Excel but facts and suspicions are two different things. As for your twitter link... Who is this person? We don't know. But the short bio says enough "Fraud investigator preparing for the Elon Musk criminal trial." Of course, no real name, no website, nothing... So many experts on the internet! I'm done with this conversation because it's leading nowhere.

There is 0 evidence in this link above, just some random anonymous person posting a function on reddit without any explanation. After that, there is the usual non-sense talk from uneducated people over 900 messages. This is not what I call "blatant example." Where is the data coming from? What are the variables used for this "model"? Who is the author? What's his/her credential? Did he/she published anything in the recognized scientific literature? Unless, we get serious answers from these questions, this is pure internet garbage. But this paper about the quadratic growth is actually interesting, the methodology is described at the end with the warnings and current limitations https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.03638 The author is qualified in Astrophysics, not much for virology and public health https://www.nordita.org/~brandenb/ But at least, we agree on point #2. Time will tell for the situation outside China and we'll get a clearer picture very soon.
