Avenger 2.0

Said to myself I wasn't going to buy any new gear in 2021, but couldn't resist on a cheap original Canon C100 yesterday 😀

Is Pentax still alive? Pentax is going to be the new Kodak 😄

The M50 made the list 😋 Indeed my most favorite Canon camera not including the ML hacks (5D3 and M). Hopefully they will also release a cheap M50 II as I enjoyed this little crippled beast!

Guess metabones can fix this with a firmware update if they want to.

Nice to know. Guess it was made for the EOS R crop 4k video?

Sure Metabones can make one and Viltrox can clone it!

Too bad prices nearly doubled for the Sony PMW-F3 now.

So should Blackmagic, but I guess it's the same as with the flip screen. If it can't move, it can't break + research cost + patents.

Now we wait for the medium format point and shoot 😋

Will make a great lens cap for my big EF whites 🤣

Looks to me like the masses have already accepted it.

If it can't move, it can't break (in warranty)?

I doubt we will see a practical magic lantern any time soon. Canon protected this camera better then before. Might require soldering to the motherboard to unlock bootloader etc now.

The RX8130 chip is a more advanced RTC clock and has timer function and user ram, so maybe canon uses this in some way for the overheating control.

Lets hope the RF-EF adapter at least fits...

But why do this to the 5DIV successor? I know some wedding photographers that will not buy the R5 just because they heart it is unreliable and overheating. Since there is no upcoming 5DV, they will lose those customers to Sony or Nikon.

Who says this won't 'overheat'? Edit: Looks like it has a fan outlet, so most likely the old cripple hamer!

Problem is that new RF lenses might require new R firmware. At some point you'll have to update it.

Since you can't download version 1.0, it's not possible to downgrade. Once 1.2 arrives, we will know if downgrade (to 1.1) is still possible. But I guess they can always block it if they really want to. Biggest danger is if they ever disable or protect the UART port on the camera. If they do, there is no peaking inside.

I guess almost the same chipset of the R5 is going to be used in other higher end models (R1?) and some cinema camera's. Seeing how protective Canon now is, I'm not sure I'm willing to invest in RF glass and be stuck with Canon. At least with the EF glass, you can use Sony, Panasonic, Blackmagic, etc camera's.

Atomos didn't mind that bug 🤣

Indeed, doesn't look very professional for paying work and for all we know it might even void the warranty. Canon should offer us a permanent fix instead!

Or supply us with a free piece of scotch tape 😂

Indeed. They will likely just tweak the overheating timer and call it a day. But I do not like this new Canon. At least before you knew what the exact limits were.

Looks to me like they tried to cripple their units in another way this time. Instead of time and feature limits like before let's create a hidden overheating limit. It's a good thing they got caught on this! The worst thing is, if they just created 5 or 10 min recording limits on their 8k and 4KHQ, nobody would have complained. They would have expected this from Canon.
