  1. I can only speak about the R5 as I don't have a R6 (I think there are to many limitations for video) 10 Bit CLog (apparently canon has promised to offer also CLog3 in a future firmware update, but I would count on it when I see it) does have one major limitation that Zebras are not available in CLog, other minors limitations: you cannot take a screengrab in the camera, starts at 400 ISO (is normal) but you can go down to 100 (loosing a bit DR). R5 crop mode does not overheats and yes you can mount an EF-S lens (you may have some vignetting with some lenses I think but I don't have any EF-S lens). I did use a couple of times the crop mode to gain reach and deliver directly the file, normally I prefer to use 8k and punch in as you have more freedom. Speed-booster should work too. The Canon official one is not official supported on the R5. But the 4k LQ is still very good so really not sure why people are making such a big fuss about it. Yes compared to 4K oversampled is less sharp but point me out another camera at any price that has the same sharpness as 4k oversampled on the R5.... not even the C500 II has the same sharpness... 1080p never used and I don't plan to use it so I have no idea 30min limitation is on all DSLR/Mirrorless of Canon, and yes this is a true cripple hammer for sure as the European tax does not exist anymore.
  2. So you really like the EOS R and you mostly use 1080p and you rule out R6/R5 I'm confused about this. The R5 in 4K LQ or 4K crop does not overheat at all and it is way better quality than the EOS R in 1080p. It has the same feeling and you can use the same vND adapter and all your EF lenses works very well with very good AF. So why you want to switch to Sony?
  3. Fully agree, hopefully Clog3 will come for 10bit files and we have better DR there too
  4. I also had my first day using 120fps, The shooting was 45minutes, camera was always on and took 15 clips ranging from 20 sec to 1.5 minute at 12 c° no overheating or issue but again was quite cold. It is silly that it does not record audio at 120fps and is already conformed to 30fps.. Conforming is not a big issue as I change the clip fps back to 120fps in Resolve and slow down only the part that I want is slow motion but recoding audio separately is a pita. I use this lut BT709_CanonLog-to-BT709_WideDR_65_FF_Ver.2.0 as a base for the 10bit file. But I tweak it around quite a bit. When not doing slow mo I try to use RAW as I feel it gives me much more room for tweaking around.
  5. Looks like on a FHD timeline, people ask in the comments and no answer, it is such a basic things to explain as it has a huge impact on gpu (in this case shared) memory consumption. Still performance is great for the price but these video imo are a bit misleading.
  6. h264 8bit on what it seems a HD timeline..... Any video showing 4k 265 10bit 4:2:2 on a 4k dci with a 2-3 nodes with and without NR?
  7. I got my R5 10 days ago and did many tests and then did 3 photo shootings and 1 photo + video, here my observation so far: Regarding the photo part is simply the best camera I had so far, very good resolution, AF, FPS, very quick in all the operations. The EVF is quite good but could be even better in term of color representation there is quite a bit difference between the EVF and the LCD. EVF with a bit more res would also be good. The 1DX III is still better in initial AF acquisition, panning fast and balance with big lenses as with the 200-400 is not that great with the R5 probably a battery grip would help. For the rest the R5 is better. Need to do a side by side scaled down at 20mpix on high iso to see if there is an advantage on the 1Dx there. On 1-1 pixel noise is better on the 1Dx but equalized not sure the difference is so big. On the video side 8K RAW is just incredible and a tad better than 5.5K 1DX RAW, good RS, good DR and great sharpness. 8K RAW is easier to edit in Resolve than 4k h265 10 bit… form factor is great and for gimbal is perfect with the swivel lcd. VND adapter is just so much more practical that front screw ND and VND. Not telling something new here. AF is also great, animal AF is ok with horses but not great did not test with other animals yet. Did test on the Ronin S with IBIS on and off and definitely with on is better still sometimes I have the impression is fighting a bit against each other but need to test more. Strangely the wifi live view on the R5 there is way less latency and more fps than the 1Dx III, the app is the same but is much more usable. 1Dx is basically unusable. For the photo plus video I did ca. 45 min of pictures (380 frames taken) and then switched to video and did capture around 18 min of 8K RAW in the remaining 1h in 1-5 min takes. Had to change the battery almost at the end and no sign of overheating but condition were ideal 12 c°. I did not turn off the camera between takes but I had the LCD timeout set at 1min. Things that they should improve via firmware: The resolution/framerate menu I thought it was better than the 1Dx but actually is bad as if you have on or off the high quality mode it blocks out thing. Why on earth I cannot move from 8k RAW to 4K HQ directly there. The 120fps should also be there and not a separate menu. Zebras and peaking cannot be active at the same time Zebras are not available in 8K RAW with Log on, it is with Log off Histogram while recording would be good but still is not for Canon, even better vectorscopes Clog 2 & 3 as promised Cinema RAW Light as promised (here I expect 20-30% size reduction) H265 10bit 4:2:0 or XF-AVC for easier editing HFR should be with audio and not already conformed to 25 or 30 fps You should be able to assign the audio gain to one of the settings wheels, really annoying that you need to press q, press the audio chart and then you can use the wheel. Improve further the overheating issue Things that could be better but not fixable via firmware : No overheating at all Bigger LCD Even less latency and more fps over wifi I would prefer a dedicated switch for video/photo, only button that you can assign for quick switch is the m-fn VND Adapter should have a way to lock the wheel it is a bit too easy to bump on it Full or at least mini hdmi instead of micro one I would prefer dual CFexpress but I get why they put and SD instead Some frames grab
  8. I want to see running Resolve in a 16 GB ram shared with the GPU.... when for an 8K timeline the official BM recommendation is 24 GB GPU VRAM and 64 GB RAM !!! I bet on these machines you can playback 8k ProRes videos in real-time, as Apple says, on a FHD timeline with Resolve.....
  9. For me: Out of memory random errors. You restart resolve and then it works. Optimize VRAM needed h265 10bit 4:2:2 All-I should be faster than IPB (currently is the other way around) Faster way to save a still frame (currently you need to grab a still then go to the gallery and save it from there, would be cool a right click save as tiff menu) Speed ramp that you can enter the % in the chart instead of moving the point History of changes like photoshop to make it easy to do multiple undo 360 reframe without plugins or go in fusion Stabilizer could be further improved Object removal also should be improved Zebra or flashing to show highlight clipping, same for black. Afaik you need to watch the waveform but there is no easy way to visualize where is clipping. AI haze as latest version of photoshop
  10. 4:2:2 10bit no HW decoding so you need a very very fast cpu 4:2:0 10bit is HW decoded so no issue problem is not resolve is the gpus that they do not support 265 10bit 4:2:2
  11. With Resolve 16 on Windows 10 on a high end gaming notebook i9-10980HK and RTX 2070 Max-Q with external 4k screen: R5 h265 10bit on a 4k dci timeline with some basic grading real-time (CPU is the bottle neck so a top desktop should do even better): 24 and 25 fps ALL-I and IPB 30fps IPB (yes IPB in Resolve is faster not sure why) Above 30fps even on 30fps timeline it chokes 8k RAW on a 4k DCI 24,25,30fps timeline with half resolution on the camera raw tab is real-time. I change to full resolution before final rendering. Overall even 8k RAW is quicker to edit than h265 10bit.
  12. Yes would be cool 5.1k RAW Lite.... but I doubt it will come like this
  13. the TC in I think it was added for the Netflix cert.
  14. Not this model but similar size almost happened..... that was the last time a drone that size was use in Alpine Ski World Cup if I'm not mistaken.....
  15. So FullHD vs 8k ..... not really useful no?
  16. Current RAW vs light version will not change the speed of editing only storage. It may even be slower due to decompressing..... In resolve you need > 20 GB Vram for 8k timeline whatever codec. And actually canon raw is quite fast and setting the half res while editing work really good. So the problem is h265 4:2:2 not the raw
  17. I really don't get it why they are not putting the R5 internals in that body with CLog3, RAW light, fan cooled, it would have been almost perfect.... Or offer two models one with R5 internals and one with the C300 III internals
  18. If I remember correctly was around 700 MB/s and dropped to 120MB/s was in room at 34C.... card was really hot could not hold in hand for long time, but once you stop using it cools very quickly....
  19. Coping an almost full 512 Sandisk CFE USB-C reader to internal M2 SSD did go in trothing mode after around 400 GB.... 7 time slower.. was all Canon RAW video files
  20. Not sure if he is the same @horshack that is so hated here....... but this guy posted an interesting test on dpreview that having the camera on a fridge at 0.4C for 11h and then start shooting 8k he could do go for 69 minutes so for sure not a timer only temperature play a key role. Seems also the type of CFExpress has an impact https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64261516
  21. It seems not the card or battery but driving the screen to affect more the heat or the timer.... Would be nice to see 8k and 4k 120 if with external screen will get 30min and also no build up of heat while not recording like menu, framing, etc..... it would be already a better proposition
  22. Somebody at FM did 20 min 8k then 20 min fridge and then 20min 8k again so there is for sure some connection between internal temperature and recovery time... but still a lot of fishy things on these limits
  23. If you disable internal screen and evf and use an external hdmi screen does the internal recording time improve?
  24. Seems the screen on has more impact than the card..... @Andrew Reid would be a test to do internal recording but screen off using an external monitor.....
  25. There is only HQ up to 30, 60 is lineskipped/binned, 120 is internal only the same for 8k at the moment. From the test that I saw external "unlimited" without card is HQ but another test would not be bad..
