There we go with the amazing thermal advantage... seems the motto of these releases is: no fan no fun

Apparently yes 120 with af including eye and sound

The limit is there for thermal so it could be the same c..p as R5 or much better but the limit is thermal driven. I would never take in one shoot 15 or 20 min of 120 but many short ones yes.

Yep with a minimal 1.1 crop that is very acceptable. Limit is 20min so not that better than R5 but probably quality is better here. Also seems possible to record in 4:2:0 10bit that is good for HW acceleration for editing

yes and plus it has audio so you can use it at normal speed or for slow motion. this couple with probably better quality is a big plus for 120fps

Apparently is not continuous in 4k 120p max 30 min before overheating but still on paper the double of R5! On thermal I think the mpixels of the sensor has anyway a big impact so not sure are better is just much less data to handle as all the other A7 series they cannot do 60fps etc... I'm not interested in this camera but it looks like a very solid option let see some real test. Does it has DCI or only UHD?

4k 265 10 4:2:2 IPB up to 30fps on my high end gaming notebook is realtime just not all-i... se my resolve thread. But is all done on the cpu....

4:2:2 10bit I think are h264 no? h265 are 4:2:0.... but I'm not 100% sure

Although see my thread on Resolve and Canon format h265 10bit 4:2:2 All-I are way slower than IPB does not make any sense but I did try on 3 different PCs and is the same

ZCam are 4:2:0 10bit h265 afaik.... thus HW accelerated on NVIDIA 10xx and 20xx platform....

I agree, If it is h265 4:2:2 10bit will be the same issue and at 600 Mbits max I don't think it will be All-I. Incredible soft I did not see neither, too me it looks really good, A7sIII could be even better view that is a 1-1 pixel readout... but the R5 is for sure not incredible soft. Still for mostly video it looks the A7sIII is a more usable camera.

What is the new information on the video that triggered you to cancel? 15min 120fps is what canon says on their limits so not really surprising no? In addition canon did promise 120 at 1080 as firmware update but we don’t know if it overheats or not. Having used 1Dx ii and now iii at 1080 120fps I take R5 4k 120fps with 15min limit any-day as the 1080 is really barely usable on the 1Dx Still the R5 is a mess for video and no way I would use it as A Cam

Other than the anemic 12Mpix for photo it looks like a very solid video camera. Let wait for some more in depth test and comparison but for video it looks much more usable than the R5......

If using as photo camera for a while will hinder the possibility to use the HQ modes is a big problem. I'm ok that I cannot roll for 1h 8K or 120 but I'm not ok that I can roll only if the camera was not in use and after 30 min is useless. This is not good. I'm ok with limits for my b cam but not if it become a guess work..... One use case that I have is that the camera is in position as remote and I will start and stop recording for 30 sec and then a break of 5 min and so one for 1h.... now if it overheats just staying there switched on is useless

Imo the biggest market is the 5d iii and iv upgrade... 45mpix, ibis, 20fps, 12fps mechanical, smarter af and mirrorless. For sport and wildlife (bif) on paper is really good. 45 mpix is also a good bump for landscape/portrait.... I’m really intereseted as second camera as remote and b cam for video but I will wait for more reports on the video side. As a cam for video it seems a big risks unfortunately.

I still think 4 120 is external only as the image shows an hdmi plugged in.... hope to be wrong

When in RAW if you set LOG on or off it controls the highlight protection thus the base iso (plus if the proxy 8 or 10bit, but i don’t record proxy) In theory I think with LOG on and exposing to the right you should get more DR but I’m not sure. I’m not a DR obsessed so I’m not the right guy to ask but to me RAW DR seems very close to photo DR in CR3. Maybe I should do a test and compare video RAW 12bit with photo RAW 14bit....

Are you shooting RAW with LOG on or off? I find with LOG on then the base iso 400 is to noisy I find the image better at iso 100 with LOG off. Not sure what mode gives better DR.... Plus I can use a 2 stop weaker ND that helps with the AF

For sport and action I tend to crop a lot and I have a 200-400 1.4x lens so at 560mm it has some reach. I find it already limiting with 20mpx of the 1Dx series.. Going back to 12 is a no go. The minimum goal that we set is to have a picture that fill 4k screens, TV, projectors so ca. 8 Mpix and with 12 Mpix you don't have too much to crop. You also want to have some margin for reframing especially on things that is a one time shoot only. Bud good for you that 12 Mpix is plenty, for a lot of people is very limiting.

It will sell a lot and 90% will be go to photographers.... it will be hard to get one.... 20fps , ibis, 45 mpix , great af, almost same DR as Sony and mirrorless is basically an almost perfect photocamera ... even if video will stop after 10 sec. 80% or more of the sales will not even know what clog3 is....

Why stop there 12.5k raw 😭😂

+1 It would good (I would not bet money on it) that they add CLog3, AF in 4k 60 ff or at least like the R6 uhd 1.1 crop, zebra! and the shooting mode menu. 4k 120 not gonna happen like is not available on the 500 iii....

1Dx III so same format as R5

Did you see my thread on editing perf? h265 10bit ipb are faster and easy to edit than all-i in resolve. Make no sense to me but is like this, tested on 3 different machines same result. So currently I use either RAW or IPB as I hate to transcode or do proxy.....

2x 512 sandisk one. I have 1 256 that I use for photos.
