As a tip for everyone else, you can get the same feature using gmail by adding +eoshd-com after your name. Gmail ignores the "+eoshd-com" part, but you can see which address the mail was sent to. A few sites does not allow these kind of addresses, but most do. Example: unclebobsphotography+eoshd-com@gmail.com will arrive in the inbox of unclebobsphotography@gmail.com This also makes it easy to block all emails to with this post-fix if needed

I don't use FilmicPro and it seems like that documentation is for iPhones. The S20 is able to use HEVC which I believe is 4:2:0, 10 bit h265. I have no idea how they implement their HDR10+, but it wouldn't surprise me if 3rd party programs such as FilmicPro have problems using this features.

The Samsung S20 can save video as HDR10+, and in my opinion it looks great (considering it's a cell phone). Premiere misinterpret the values by default, but from my testing it seems like all the information is recovered simply by adjusting the exposure/highlights. I don't have any specific data regarding the actual colour depth.

The processing is what makes the cell phone pictures good, which I believe you lose a lot of if youre shooting RAW. Many of the new phones take both pictures and videos in 10 bit, which makes up for some of the shortcomings of jpeg

Maybe that's the reason why it's only a patent and not a product. I wouldn't want to blow air on the sensor unless there is a HEPA filter in there, which can't be very practical. Practical engineering is often just logic, and logical arguments should trump academic degrees. A 6 hour cooldown period isn't reasonable, so either there was a flaw in the testing method or in the firmware. The report of overheating during stills shooting is worrisome, but if that was the result of shooting 20 fps with the electronic shutter, then that could be as stressing as 8k raw. A better solution would have been if the camera capped the shooting rate to 3-5 fps and automatically turned on overheat protection in time so as to never have to stop shooting completely. I believe the camera will fulfill my needs, excellent photos, shorter 4kHQ/8kRAW clips and extended 4kCrop shoots. If workarounds are able to extend the shooting limits of 4kHQ/60p/120p then that's a welcoming addition and something I would want to try out.

Nice bike. I am stunned by the picture quality of my Samsung S20+ as well. The slow motion and HDR video works surprisingly well. The telephoto camera is useless as a telephoto camera, but excellent for macro shots. The wideangle lens can give some great shots at angles hard to catch with a DSLR (but will distort the edges a LOT), and the main camera is solid. Pixel peeping will often show some flaws in my S20+ shots, but your bike even looks great close up.

I agree, getting rid of plastic to improve cooling is a feasible approach. Assuming the chips in need of cooling are attached with thermal pads/paste (one report is saying they aren't), then grinding off the outer layer of the body and attaching a heat sink to the magnesium body could work quite well. This would be a similar approach to the Tilta solution just removing any paint or plastic from the back, and ditching the peltier element. Although Andrew pointed out that magnesium is not great for conducting heat, it's not really bad either. Pound for pound it's actually better than aluminium or copper, but in this case it would have been better for us if Canon traded some weight for better conductivity. However, if it's only 0.5mm of magnesium between the chips and the heatsink and all transitions have good thermal compounds, I don't think it will make a huge difference whether they are using magnesium or aluminium. Such an approach shouldn't even harm the weather sealing of the camera.

Nothing wrong with that if it solves the problem. I have drilled a hole in a new 3-grand camera in the past with zero regrets.

Which puts much more stress on the heatsink. Also, if the peltier element is not beefy enough it can end up working as an insulator instead of providing cooling.

I am keeping my R5 order, but not seeing myself selling my GH5 any time soon. Having tried the R5 slightly, it seems like the best stills camera on the market, which shouldnt be ignored. It will also be great for whenever i need video autofocus, which in many cases will be more important than having the highest IQ recording options available. The s35 mode crop might be good enough if i have to use it. The Sony is not an option since i have lots of EF glass and I need a capable stills camera. I dont put much faith in peltier element based cooling as they are notoriously inefficient. A fan or fan+heat sink might be worth it though

Given the newly released overheating table, it seems like there is one video setting where the R6 beats the R5; 4k60p. With the R5 you would need to either use pixel binning (which most likely will give worse image quality) or an APS-C crop, while the R6 uses oversampling with a 1.07 crop. For those who shoot mostly 4k60p the R6 seems like a good choice. This might have been mentioned earlier, but the table made it easier to spot.

Any extra glass between the subject and the sensor will degrade the quality somewhat or take away some light, which is why i cant understand why they wouldnt have a cover instead of a clear glass. Maybe it would be harder to justify the cost

https://youtu.be/PvU4WNb6-J4 This video should give the answer around 15:05. They turn HQ off and 24p is still available.

Let's start a business installing aftermarket cooling solutions!

I have seen it in person, so I can confirm that there is an "oversampling on/off option", but I don't remember the exact wording and I didn't check which frame rates it works with.

Canon has tried to give us as much video capabilities in the R5 they can without making any compromises on it as a stills camera. At the Canon-launch today we were something like 3 people who cared about the video specs and 30 who asked about the buffer size, AF at 800mm and other things that hardly matters for video. I just wish they had made the R6 into a full fledged video camera like the a7s is to the a7r lineup. It has the same processor, and RAW out of the 20mp sensor would be better than 8k RAW for most of us, but it seems like the R6 is has more crippled video features (no 4k120 or RAW) than the R5 even though it should have been the better video camera.

If Canon insist of designing their own h265 encoder and use their own fabs for the prosessor, that's a very valid point to criticise. I can't see any good reason for them not to buy the design from ARM or Qualcom or whomever and get Global Foundries or someone else to produce it. I can understand why Canon want to produce their own image sensor, but for the prosessor they should license as much as possible except for the "Canon-sauce".

I was quite blown away by the AF of the R5 today. I did a test shoot with the sales rep and it would keep him in focus for all situations except when he was moving as if playing dodgeball. Since I'm a GH5 user my expectations might be lower than for Sony users, but unless there is some hidden crippled point (overheating or rolling shutter), I am sold on getting one of the new cameras.

I got to play with the R5 and R6 a bit at the product launch today. There is a setting in the meny to toggle off/down overheating protection (I don´t remember the exact wording). Is this with the overheating protection turned off/low?

That's easy! Use a sonar! Just don't come complaining about the resolution... And in this situation you can just hire a lip reader. For microphones, I can think of a better solution than lavs/shotguns mics.

I guess rolling shutter compensation for a pan would be possible. For a sideways movement (truck?), the parallax effect would make it difficult since closer objects would require more rolling shutter compensation than objects farther away. Rolling shutter is most obvious during pans, and the gyroscope should be able to notice the movement type, so why not?

I use a GH5, Videomic NTG, Elgato HD60s and a softbox. Lessons learned: -GH5+Capture card is a bit of a hassle to set up if I use the equipment for anything else. The kit lens keeps on changing the focus every time I turn it off and on again. Easily avoidable by changing the lens, but my other lenses are primes which makes composition harder. -Videomic NTG works really well. All it needs is a USB-C cable and it's good to go, and the sound is much better the Jabra disc-thing. However, if you don't use headphones you might get feedback issues. -Elgato HD60s requires a quad-core prosessor. I would have gotten another capture card if I were to buy one today (Elgato Camlink perhaps) -GH5 looks good, but a lot of the picture quality is lost in transmission. Reducing contrast/adjusting the knee/picking the right picture profile will help a lot to preserve highlights. -Shallow depth of field is pointless because of the loss of quality using Zoom/Teams. It will just make your video look worse. I try to stick with f/4.0 or above on the GH5. -Softbox, good, but ISO doesn't matter. The softbox obviously makes shadows softer and better looking. However, because of the compression you can hardly notice the difference between ISO 400 and 6400, so don't stress it if you don't have enough light output. The softness is much more important than the brightness. With the new Panasonic software I should be able to forego the Elgato capture card, but I haven't had the time to try it out yet.

Any experiences with RF lenses? Most of the RF lenses will probably cost more than the R6. I am wondering if I should just get the ND-filter-adapter and stick with EF glass. The kit lens 24-105 f 4-7.1 doesn't really excite me. The 35mm 1.8 seems fine, but most of the L-glass is (in my country) around $3000. If the RF glass has some real advantages over EF glass I might get one versatile lens, otherwise I'm tempted to only get the 35mm or maybe not even that.

Line skipping looses light compared with supersampling because fewer photo sites are used and therefore fewer photons are recorded. If you skip every second line, only half the photo sites will be recorded. Using supersampling you would average out 2 photo sites for each pixel (or something smarter) and would therefore get less noise. The exposure should be the same, but line skipping should in theory lead to more noise and moire/aliasing than supersampling. Cropping should in theory give the same noise as line-skipping, but potentially with less moire/aliasing. Have in mind that actual camera performance can differ a bit from how it should work in theory, which Sony has proven. The word "binning" has been used both as "throwing the photo site in the bin" and "binning together the recordings of several photo sites". The first version is the same as line-skipping while the second is basically a crude form of supersampling. EDIT: Your post was in relation to the line " I hope they add a crop mode. At least then you can get the same DOF without losing a ton of light.". The BoogieKnight is actually correct, because he mention the same DOF. Using a cropped readout and a faster and wider lens you would end up with cleaner image with the same DOF as lineskipping and a slower/longer lens.

I've found it hard to justify the space/cost of getting a slider. I've used a monopod+tilting head or gimbal on top as a makeshift slider. Obviously adds a small amount of vertical movement, not quite as smooth and impossible to get close to the ground.
