It works fine with HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit (and other variants too) as a lot of iPad users have reported being able to easily play back footage in that format.

I'm honestly stunned but what they're including. I really wanted the AF improvements (more for stills than anything else) and hope we might get 4k60/10bit but I never expected this. Even after all of the new camera announcements I'd still choose an S1.

Have they improved the cool-down times after you've used it in photo mode? Can you shoot some HQ/8k footage now without having let it cool for hours?

Just a hunch but I think there's a decent chance that they'll include 10-bit 4k/60 in the next firmware. Remember you'll get 10-bit via HDMI too.

I think in the video that was just using IBIS in camera without lens stabilisation.

It does have 4k 60 10-bit surely?

Agreed, the 30 minutes limits and micro HDMI are pretty bad cripples. There's also the weaker EVF and LCD screen and poorer IBIS to add into the equation (I've watched a few videos now and it definitely looks worse). It's definitely crippled quite a lot compared to the S1 although it adds loads of stuff too. I'm still impressed by the size of it and the price is more than reasonable (basically the same as I paid for my S1s).

It did over a year ago in Richard Wong's comparison with the v1.2 on the S1. For controlled tests like this (not real-world) it performs well.

It's more the fact his tests are the usual smoothly run/walk towards/away from camera and not real tests. Gerald Undone did one and it looks as bad as ever unfortunately:

Still no punch-to-focus while recording. That sucks as people have asked for it for literally years. 😞

😞 Really surprised they didn't improve this.

30 minutes limit in almost every mode other than 8-bit? That's just horrible.

Same and I'm gutted to say that as I had such high hopes for this one as my perfect hybrid. A7S III it is I guess. Even Thor's hammer couldn't inflict this level of cripplement.

SMART which is featured in all CFExpress cards as far as I know allows reporting of temperatures.

As I said a while back on here, this is by no means unheard of. You see the same garbage on $$$$$ laptops with inadequate cooling, or poorly applied poor thermal paste etc. etc. Same in the music industry. The great irony is that Canon made a point about all the heat generating components being strategically kept away form each other and literally the opposite is true!

You really couldn't make this stuff up....

Thanks, was looking for this. I'm interested again! What would happen if you put that speed booster on the R5? Is the crop similar to the Eos R?

If it's really the case that there's inadequate heatsinks and poor/no/badly-applied thermal compound, then why didn't they just sort that out? Can't believe they'd do a deliberate crippling like that.

Thank you

Camera Labs have some downloadable footage too (as well as the SIII), again in both modes.

Hope you don't mind me asking but how do you know this? Are the specs for the sensor they're using online?

Hahaha I said this on here days ago. It's exactly how I knew it would be.

Polin has a test showing both. The A7 III looks much better. It really is like night and day if this test is to be believed.

200Mbit/sec is horrible for 4k/120 surely?
