When he showed that first clip in 4K, then pulled out to 6K, then 8K and then 12K ... I was like "OK Grant, thats plenty now"

You're not kidding.

Its likely to be anxiety, I used to get it from time to time. I imagine some people at other camera companies have shoulders that have spasmed so hard they are having to retrieve them from the ceiling round about now though.

Life comes at you fast doesn't it ? "No one needs 8K" lasted about a week before being dethroned by "No one needs 12K" 🙂

People are going to need a bitcoin scam to be able to buy all the cameras announced this month.

Its officially happening then.....

Of course its worth remembering that in Manchester, Toneh is taken so seriously that the potential issue caused by there being too much Toneh almost stalled the launch of the club night that spawned the city's most important record label.

Is this for you BMMCC or GH5 ?

I think the important thing is that the heat issue is out there now but also that its present performance should be considered the worst case scenario. Canon may be able to improve it before launch or may be able to improve it during its life cycle. Third parties may come up with mitigating options. User's may find workarounds. But if none of that happens and this is as good as it gets on the heat issue then it will still be a hell of a camera for an awful lot of people and the decision to buy one or not is now far more informed than it was a week ago. For everyone else, it is just better to sit and observe what the next few months brings when real buyers are using real models with real finalised firmware on them and uses them in different climates. Its arguable that no one really needs 8K today so even if you have to wait those few months to see how it pans out then you've not lost anything really. And will likely save yourself a few quid into the bargain.

Hang on, are you referring to my comment here ???

They'll be releasing the Pocket16K before I finally get that fucker out.

Way beyond sneaking now. Funnily enough, in Manchester, Toneh is exactly how his name is pronounced so mein host was calling him that long before it was fashionable.

And call it "Liar, Liar, Your Camera's On Fire"

I'm old enough to remember him doing a video where he claimed the R5 was a fake about 10 days or so before Canon announced it so maybe he is a bit out of the loop with them 🙂

To be serious for a moment, the amount of abuse that @Andrew Reid took from the shills, bootlickers, click merchants, grudge bearers and other assorted snide gobshites portraying him as being some sort of deranged bitter outlier who "You can always count on to be negative" for basically reading Canon's own words out to them was pathetic but very informative. I wouldn't hold out much hope of most of those people organising an apology pile on with the same gusto they organised an abuse one because, of course, thats not how they (t)roll but at least they've shown their hand about who they really are. I do hope it represents some sort of tipping point for the wider world in terms of the scales falling from their eyes about this sort of marketing though. In particular, I hope that if the R5 and R6 issues are improved or mitigated at launch or during its life cycle that people remember that the fire (ho ho) that was lit under Canon's arse to address this wasn't sparked by sycophancy.

I hope its a new camera purely on the basis that I'm running out of heat related barbs about the R5 and R6. Oh, hang on.... As opposed to a roaring fire like the R5 and R6. Phew.

Initially it will be for the electronic lenses of P4K/P6K but the motor driver interface is a separate module so it can be added to the system later. As a system, the PBC controls the camera and acts as a hub to wirelessly integrate the other modules such as the two AF adapters and the motor driver module so you can pick and choose which ones you need.

To be fair, I was very appreciative of their sage advice in that video not to listen to the biased opinions of people with relationships with manufacturers and certainly not to trust early reviews from these people. Its almost like Canon never took them on a trip to Hawaii to see the EOS-R, gave them a FREE one to giveaway as a click and subscriber booster on their channel and put out a review so speedily it was actually shot in their paid for hotel room isn't it ? Almost.

I enjoy his channel but if ever there was a wrong camera for him it is this one as it would have overheated by the time he got to his second point.

Tony knows Phoneeeey ? Interesting frame that though as he's got that anxious look of a man who's wife has had a couple of gins and is about to make some frank statements to his friends.

Can't believe no one has said "Fro Knows Promo" yet

Its not far off £1300 cheaper in some places. And thats just for a brand new one. By the time travel opens up again you'll be able to go and get a used one that has only minor internal smoke damage for a lot less.

Yeah, a constant linear offset won't be sufficient in most cases so our calibration will be with a connected tracked map of each motor. The calibration procedure for this system connects observed focus with measured distance at multiple points rather than the overall scale, as opposed to the PBC on its own which only needs two point to map this to range of the focus wheel. Display of distance on the unit, whether you are using electronic lenses on the P4K/P6K or manual lenses on motors (which will be included later), is something that you will get for free anyway. The precision of the Nucleus Nano system is actually 0-999 by the way rather than 0-100.
