Avenger 2.0

My opinium is that Sony likes the sensor business more then the camera business. Almost everyone except Canon and samsung uses their sensors. Why invest in a niche market like the camera business? We will see an 8k panasonic, bmpcc, etc before a sony one.

The European GH4R is just a GH4 with unlimited recording. So everything that works with the GH4 should be the same as GH4R.

Double the new price and no warranty. 🤣 Anyway, got my C100II second hand for about 1000 euro with 18-135mm lens, multiple batteries and rode mic.

Pretty sure the A7s III will still not be announced by 2025 🤣 Canon will stay with 8k till 2030, skip 16k en jump ahead to 32k!

Strange, maybe USB 2.0 limit? Would one be able to use multiple camera's as webcam or just one?

Canon just released EOS Webcam Utility Beta software. When the R5 is released we will have the first fullframe 8K webcam 😁 https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/about/newsroom/press-releases/press-release-details/2020/20200428-Webcam/20200428-Webcam

If it exists it will likely be without DPAF (and the reason it isn't yet mentioned)

Yeah they are indeed both great. The image isn't 4k and the bitrate is low and only 8-bit 4.2.0, but if you're not grading and need quick edit and delivery, they are just perfect. Just think an event or wedding, 1 on tripod and other handheld. Shoot WideDR, no grading needed. Small very sharp 1080p files for quick edit on the go (on low budget laptop). Export to 1080p or upscale to 4k for delivery.

Patents? They should cross license something or pay royalties to get PDAF and indeed quit fooling around with other experimental AF systems.

I highly doubt it will have a cooling fan. Will make weather sealing very complex and expensive. Will likely have a time limit (max 5 min) and/or overheating protection in 8k / 4k120 mode.

When in 10 years I can afford this camera 8k will be nice 😁

Indeed. For most amateur and indie filmmakers, 5 min record limit is more then enough. I expect limits like these to still 'protect' the cinema line. Single card video, record limit, limited sound control, no waveform/vectorscope, etc...

The big question is, do they have the tech at the moment (sensor and mostly processor) to do 8k? It takes time to design and develop that. Just quickly throwing something together will likely result in a camera that will melt away trying to do some of the Canon specs.

But the R6 will have a dual card slot and the 6D never had.

Yeah indeed, it already leaked. There is a hidden cheat code to enable 10-bit RAW and 4.2.2 H.265 on the Sony A7III. Quickly press MENU-C3-Fn-DISP-AEL-C3-C3 to enable it!

If it's a new sensor, shouldn't a 20MP sensor be a lot better in low light then a 45MP sensor?

To sell RF lenses. Pretty sure the 5DV will somehow not have 8k like the R5.

Will be around 4k euro. Certainly will be some time limitations on 8k30 / 4k120 video. Guess we are lucky if 5 to 10 min are possible in 8k with such a small body (in comparison to 1dxiii).

Finally they fixed autofocus? But will they do 8k, raw, etc?

Certainly these: No dual card recording for video and recording time limit.

The question is, how many minutes until it overheats or stops recording?

The end for Sony, Panasonic, etc...

No experience with BM, but had a sealed Viltrox adapter that had plenty of fingerprints on both sides of the glass and scratches on the mount. Maybe BM uses the same firm as Viltrox to have things assembled and do 'quality control'. Better to not use Q-tips to clean as they can make even more scratches.

Not sure, maybe people will also be keeping their current camera's for another year or two. And less second hand camera's and less demand may keep prices mostly the same. Of couse now in the middle of the crisis one might do good deals for someone that really needs the money.

8k will only be in b&w.
