Video Hummus Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I don’t really care about 8K record limit. 4K will be a bummer but I can see why they are doing it (heat and product segmentation). I think, from what we know, there will be a few gotchas. 1) R5 has the specs but will most likely suffer from bad RS, especially in 8K modes and non cropped 4K. 2) The R6 looks like the perfect camera for people that don’t care about 8K. The R6 is what everybody wanted from the R. I have a feeling, based on past behavior from Canon, there’s going to be a major pain point that will make you think twice. Something like no 24p in 4K for instance. But I haven’t been this excited for a Canon camera in a while. Really hope they set the bar high.

Trek of Joy Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 14 minutes ago, zerocool22 said: I never returned any product I bought, isnt it a weird way of thinking. Buying something, testing it and if you dont like it return it? What happens to the product, does it get sent back to canon to be inspected and branded refurbished or do they just sent it to somebody new. Strange that this is legal, its like those people buying an expensive dress, go out and return the dress. Sorry for the off topic rant. Maybe I wasn't clear, I'm saying its not going to ship for weeks, so people can make a decision whether or not to keep an order based on reviews and downloading files to see if they're happy with the IQ and workflow and any dealbreaker gotchas. Sorry if that wasn't clear - I don't play the return window tester game, most of my gear is bought used anyway to avoid paying full price.

But I think that very few people need 30min clips. I have never shot a 30min clip in my life (unless maybe an accidental one). All I shoot is 30+ minute videos! 🤣 zerocool22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I was hoping the DR would be more then 12 stops, so now lets wait how that highlight rolloff turns out. Waiting on incoming camera comparisons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocool22 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 wtf the R5 is 4.549€ in europe.............................................. I prolly had too much hopes for the R5 (C500 II, C300 III IQ), but I guess I will also have to wait out on the A7S III announcement as well (when is that announcement date?)

ade towell Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 yes the price is ridiculous in the UK too, £4,200 whereas in the U.S. it's $3800 which works out to £3000. Horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andjo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Looks really good! You guys in US are quite lucky. I think we got F-ed in Sweden as the pre-order price equals close to $6000 😱 Insane. Was hoping it would have been a bit lower than that. But overall it looks like a great camera for hybrid shooters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool22 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Gotta admit that AF looks crazy fast (allthough its not a feature I am really interested in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
