Looks like the weakest point of this camera is the codec. How can anyone edit these kind of projects, I cant even playback 2 files smooth, let alone 1000.

Nope but I installed the latest update from today before trying though. But the footage is sloooooow to edit.

I think 8K is on nobodies radar, not sure why they would invest in resolution. But it is an easy route for them.

Im leaning to an R5 (allthough I just downloaded some clips and playback in resolve is not smooth at all, buts its been a while I have edited something else then prores or braw) atm, because it is the best hybrid out there, and I want a decent hybrid as I am done carrying around a bunch of bodies (can always rent a alexa mini for the projects that need it). But prolly this new blackmagic camera will make me drool again (owned a lot of bm camera's). I think they are aiming at the F6, but it will be cheaper and have better codecs.

Finally some decent footage. Yeah looks like the r5 might be great after all.

The R5 seems to have this weird noise pattern in this video, could be uploaders mistake though. The stills side from this camera is seriously impressive though.

Is there any sony announcement date set yet? Or could we still be waiting for 2021 for that.

I can't believe there arent any reviews out yet. By the looks of it dozens of people already got one. Are they under an NDA or something.

Wow look at that dynamic range difference, the s1H doesnt break a sweat, the A7S is falling apart, but the R5 is completely shit.

Looks like it, so perhaps the 5R has 14 stops of DR. If it just has 12 stops, it prolly doesnt make sense to include clog3. Which is not bad at all.

I might as well start saving up then.

What about a custom picture profile, would we able to get more DR? Wondering what the DR is in photomode, perhaps good old magic lantern to the resque?

Yeah but its not a hybrid. + you need to rig it out a lot.

Why would you want a stacked sensor if the DR is going to take a hit. Thats the one thing the A7S has going for it(besides low light and full frame).

No you assume. Because you have mentioned it several times that you even had clients like disney...

Whats the point of bringing in examples without an IR cut filter.... Maybe your part of the reason why disney only releases junk. (except for the mandalorian)

I want A7S III to have at least 10bit, internal raw of some sort would be great(but I guess if their FS7 and FX9 can't do it, this little one for sure cant). +240fps. Downside with the A7S will be the AF (with EF lenses), not a huge deal for me. But that R5 autofocus does look kinda handy.

You know even camera's that cost 10 times as much have the same IR issue(RED)? Its not even an issue, you use a IR filter. I guess most camera's are flawed in your perspective, oh gee I cannot shoot at 1.2 during a sunny afternoon because its all overexposed, yeah guess what "the ND filter was also not included".

I think this overheating is getting over exagerated. I read a guy was shooting all day long didnt get overheated once.

Thats a pretty good deal. Maybe they are releasing a 1.4 set.

Dude once again, that is on you and not the camera. You know you need to shoot with an IR filter on a bm camera.... Offcourse they are still selling them as they are brilliant cameras for an amazing price.

My main worry is the DR and highlight rolloff, but nobody is letting this cat out of the bag right now. All the video's so far have bad looking DR, shirts, faces with blown out parts. Amazed nobody is talking about that, prolly still busy counting all those pixels or running around in the desert trying to overheat the camera...

The price from the R5 makes me consider the F6 again. Which so far seems to have better IQ, downtrade is that its only a video/cinema camera and I cannot use it for photography.

Looking forward to your shortfilm 🙂

Well I dont think I will ever run into the problem. I dont shoot long clips + where I live the temperature rarely exceeds 23 degrees.
