But stills cameras are stills cameras and it will always need to be taken into consideration when asking "why". Correct. EOS R is also a FF video camera, which neither M50 or C100 are. EOS R internal ALL-I codecs are also superior to both. C-Log which isn't available on M50. 10-bit 4:2:2 external, which isn't even possible on C100. 4K which isn't available on C100 (and with less crop/RS then on M50). DPAF in 4K. Etc etc.. EOS R is closer to a mini C200 / 5D4 hybrid. I'm actually considering using EOS R as the A-cam to an upcoming project after doing test shots alongside the C100.

Like I have ranted on here just about any camera in this day and age can get the job done. The EOS-R has great CS and with the DPAF ought to be able to be capable of doing the vast majority of what you need. And I am probably not going to buy a M50. It is no gain over my A7s other than color science. And I just happen to like it's CS anyways. But I think the M50 has a sharper 1080p than the EOS-R. But for a CIne look it might be a tad too sharp.

dvcrn Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Kai uploaded his review of the EOS R He mentioned one thing that I never read anywhere else before: When he puts on a EFS lens, the camera doesn't allow recording in 60fps 1080p anymore. Can anyone confirm if that is really the case, or if Kai just did something wrong with the settings? If it can't do 60fps in 1080 with a EF-S lens, I will cancel my pre-order today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 22, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's good news and bad news. Yup. Greys out 1080/60p/50p in EF-S mode and Movie Cropping mode. 1.6x crop mode is only available for stills. 4K and 1080p crop is 1.8x. In 1080p crop mode it appears to use the 4K sensor output, downsampling to 1080p, along with 1.8x crop when you attach an EF-S lens. That's the bad news. The good news is I think the image looks a bit better in the EF-S mode...1.8x crop 1080p mode seems sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvcrn Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Now this is ridiculous. With all the adapter announcements and automatic EF-S crop mode on top of C-Log, I assumed they indirectly suggested to use EF-S lenses for video, but this is nuts. I really wanted this camera and had no problems with using EF-S glass only for the time being since I have a bunch of EF-S lenses and shoot only in 1080p currently, but now I can't even "upgrade" from a lower end M/Rebel camera without loosing the ability to record 60fps? In 2018?? Hrrmm I really don't get what Canon is doing here. I'm now looking into just getting a M50 instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think he’s saying that you can use ef-s lenses in 4K crop mode of 1.8x where you can also shoot 1080p... so you won’t get 60p at 1.6x but you will get it at 1.8x... or at least that’s how I read it.

thebrothersthre3 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Would be cool to see some 10bit footage out of the camera. It is a step in the right direction at least. Maybe internal 10 bit in their next mirrorless model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 An EF-S lens prevents 60fps?!?! Wow, just wow! As man, even though I thought I knew Canon, they still come up with new ways to surprise me in how they can cripple their cameras so as to keep on disappointing their (dwindling... hopefully? Otherwise they're suckers for abuse!) Canon fanboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you do not get 1.8x in 60p either. You will have to shoot full frame for 60p, and use the digital IS to crop-in to 1.2x and approx. 1.4x. That latter mode may get your Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 into service in 60p but beware the softness and artefacts from DIS. EF-S lens users are completely out of luck for 60p. As soon as one is detected, it locks the camera to 1.8x crop mode, 30p max. You cannot disable the 1.8x crop mode with one attached. IN SUMMARY: Full frame lens: FF 1080/60/50p and 1.6x crop stills. 1.8x crop 4K and 1080p up to 30p EF APS-C lens (Sigma): As above EF-S lens (Canon): 1.8x crop 1080/30p max and 4K/24/25/30p 1.8x crop In no mode can you actually record 1.6x crop video. The 1.6x crop mode is ONLY for 12MP stills. There is also a "Movie cropping mode" in the menus, but that is 1.8x as well. It is either: Full frame 1080p 60p / 1.2x crop DIS / 1.4x crop DIS+ 4K 1.8x crop 30p max 1080p 1.8x crop 30p max noone, KnightsFan and mercer 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Jesus, it seems like Canon had to work harder for that configuration. But that clears it up, thanks. It definitely pays to have FF lenses if you intend on shooting 1080p up to 60p then. I wonder what will happen when dummy adapters start circulating. I assume if there is no contact made, it locks you out of EF-S mode. For instance, an older Sigma 30mm 1.4 aps-c lens for Nikon on a dummy adapter. But that makes me wonder... is the shoot without lens function in the menus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted October 22, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yes there is shoot without lens in the menu but unless you are going to tape up the lens contacts nothing is going to help EF-S lens using 60p shooters here in terms of workarounds.

There are a fair number of people who have done projects for various reasons where they have used a micro controller to talk directly to Canon lenses or to use them as interpreters/filters between the body and the lens. There are two ways to do it, the first of which is to attach directly to the pins inside the lens (which means you'd have to do it for every lens) but the neater way (at least for experimental purposes) has been to use a cheap £10 AF macro adapter and wire to that so it sits between the body and the lens. The basic premise is that the micro controller can send its own messages to the lens, pass the ones on to and from the body as is or modify them to what they need to do. The one that would be interesting for this scenario of course is when the camera makes the request for the lens info, the reply from the controller could be "An EF-S lens you say? No not me guvnor, I'm a full frame one I am. Known for it in fact" and pass it the details of an EF lens or third party APS-C lens of the same spec. Obviously the current snag in using the macro adapter is that it is for experimental purposes (or for building macro focus stacking apps) as it obviously makes the lens a macro one. However, for the EOS-R, when 3rd parties come up with their own adapter (which won't be long) then they could build this in quite easily and cheaply. In the meantime, it would be an interesting experiment with the macro adapter as is just to see if the EOS-R could be persuaded it didn't have an EF-S lens attached. The other experiment, which is a bit left field, is to try the equivalent of an old fashioned disc swap hack. If you put the camera in record with an EF lens at one of the forbidden formats, what happens when you remove the lens with it still running? If it doesn't stop the recording, what does it then do if you attach an EF-S lens? Possibly one with the contacts taped over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsFan Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 So if you shoot HFR, you've got to use a FF lens. For 4k, you've got to use EF-S lenses for native FOV. And if you want that ND adapter, you've got to use adapted lenses. It's almost as if Canon wants you to buy 3 sets of lenses! What's next, 10 bit only when using FD lenses?

noone Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 LOL I actually do have EF, EFS and FD Canon lenses and the funny thing is they all work great (for my uses)- On a Sony! Even the cheap and cheerful Canon APSC 18-55 IS ii kit lens works ok in both APSC and even FF mode from around 24mm and up. WHY Canon does this? Any one guess?

Leica50mm Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 i just read canon's coming out with two more very fun sounding 1.2 lenses . 24mm 1.2 and a 85mm 1.2 . Might have to get one just for these killer lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
