When I feel sad, to cheer myself up I always go and read the comments on Andrea's rumors sites. Some people have been eating peyote. Random comment:

What is exactly this SRAW and is it better than h265?

Could you give us your impression for the new camera coming from the R5?

Is it possible that it lacks a one button MWB?

Do you like it? I see a strong blue cast coming from the bad indoor artificial lights. I can hear the DoP scratching his head...

I've just seen it on theatre and it's simply stunning. Extreme depth of field in all desert shots gives you the impression to be there.

Nope. I'm just copy pasting a FB post of Filippo Chiesa (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeDcSWVeLZnSj6N9JjNexyw) He meant "TV Network," and in the comments he specifies that they have made up 90 percent of his customers for many, many years. He rarely gets asked for a Canon camera, but he specifies that everyone's experience may be different. He has a pragmatic approach: if you film on your own, use the camera you like best. If you work on commission, use the camera the client asks for.

Everything except this: A camera design and production is a lengthy process. You don't redesign and produce a camera in six months and probably not even a year.

To go back to the old argument about “what I like and what the customer asks for....” This post by Filippo Chiesa on FB says it all. I'll translate it for you on the fly even though it's easy to do with Google. Also interesting are the comments to people who insist on their preferences and the responses from who pay the bills every month with his work. https://www.facebook.com/1370200475/posts/10232791406232061/ From comments section:

Disclaimer: I'm sure this is a bombastic camera but the article is way below the minimum journalism standard. It is really shameful how they distort reality or omit details that make a difference. How disgusting. And

In the meantime dpreview published the spec detail clarification for video: https://m.dpreview.com/articles/9830877104/canon-eos-r5-ii-for-video-what-you-need-to-know

There's always the beloved old LX10...

@zlfan trying not to hijack the R5II thread... The final short film

GH7 is available on Amazon.

And this The main takeaway for me from this yet another launch short is that today you can do anything with any camera as long as you have budget and skill. The quality is very high now. From what you see on this short at the end they didn't even use cinema lenses but all standard Canon stuff To this if they gave it an FX3, FX5, S5 or an Alexa, the result would be indistinguishable. Bravo to the DoP and the colorist. The Creator, 100M USD budget shot all with the FX3 studied and designed by Dune DOP Greig Fraser, oscar award winner for Dune, says it all. Then you see the stuff done by Philip Chiesa with a Gh5S and you have further confirmation. Then of course everyone has their own preferences and fixations but this is the hard and pure reality. P.S. A little too orange & teal for my taste. The days of Michael Bay are gone 😄

Another level, really

I wrote "in this market range". Cinema line is another story for both Canon and Sony. R5 want to be the hero of the two worlds

Overheating has already been discussed to exhaustion, and there are two things: Panasonic is wasting time and resources on something that Canon and Sony don't give a damn about at all (in this market range). Or Panasonic is light years ahead when it comes to thermal management.

I only want to know one thing: where did they hide the cripple hammer?

On Dpreview they write that in RAW 8K and 4K the rop factor is 1:1. How is it possibile? Line skipping and column skipping?

Weeks ago we wrote about this:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/the-zone-of-interest-review-jonathan-glazer-1235496467/

They were so focused on the video that they forgot that there is audio and sound engineers 😄

I saw you can even change several parameters foe each voice.
