But processors matter too for thermal efficiency. Yes, I know. The broader point was that wherever that heat was coming from, Sigma had a strategy front and centre in the design to deal with it. Their initial presentation of the fp made as much if not more of an issue about it as they did about any other individual feature of the camera. It doesn't make Sigma any more right or wrong than Canon, just that they placed much more emphasis on it as an integral aspect of the design. Which left them no time to do any AF 😉 markr041 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super8 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 14 minutes ago, BTM_Pix said: If this thing was £2K dearer and didn't overheat then I'm sure no one who wanted 8K RAW would baulk at that price. The US price is $3,995 That's Sony A7R IV money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they will do their homework. Thank you very much. Really? You really want to keep acting out with ugly sarcasm just because you were found to have made a mistaken post? No one insulted you. Learn about cooling before you make claims is all that was said. Someone else also provided some information on the fp's cooling method who has more information than I do..

Video Hummus Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 54 minutes ago, markr041 said: The Canon 8K is also RAW, and it has the worst overheating of all the choices. For some reason there are no RAW options for 4K on the R5. Product segmentation, perhaps? I think there has been 4 important aspects of the R5 release: 1) internal RAW took a baby step to becoming mainstream. 2) 10-bit 4:2:2 Log recording is the new baseline. 3) 4K HFR (anything higher than 60p) is the new slow motion benchmark. 4) You no longer need gloves in the winter when operating your mirrorless camera. ntblowz, thebrothersthre3 and UncleBobsPhotography 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the crazy thing is Black Magic is still selling the P4k and P6K as is. Out of curiosity, what happened with the BMP6K's? I have a BMP6K and 2 4Ks that I have used for hundreds of hours on countless shoots and I haven't had any trouble with them in ages. I had one of the 4Ks drain the battery and turn off when on external power on one shoot, but even that hasn't happened in over a year. I use V-mount batteries and record to T5s and I haven't had any issues to speak of in ages. Just curious about your issue so that I can be on the lookout.

Cliff Totten Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 4 hours ago, Kisaha said: So, how Sigma does it, and noone else can? Please inform us. Sigma does not have a professional camcorder line or business division to protect. Canon does and does not want us to use the R5 like a true camcorder. This overheating problem and 29 minute time cripple was well known inside Canon during the R5 development. I have a contact inside Canon that told me over 2 months ago "Cliff,...the R5 WILL have heavy video recording restrictions" He wouldn't tell me why or any more about it. But yeah,...if you look at my posts here and everywhere where I told people this. I was called a "negative troll" for stating this! See? Anyway....Canon has always known about this are were 100% perfectly fine with it. Canon Cine division managers are perfectly happy with it too.

SteveV4D Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The funny side of all this is to take a peak at the DpReview forum of Canon users supporting the R5. The same users who not so long ago were saying we don't need 4K when Canon were giving us badly cropped 4K are now saying how great 8K is. The same users who attacked Sony for chasing specs and delivering unreliable cameras that shut down due to overheating are trying to justify the overheating of the R5 and saying it doesnt matter. Hypocrisy, thigh name are Canon users. 🤣🤣🤣 newfoundmass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is no pleasing some. TheRenaissanceMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newfoundmass Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It really is insanity to see people justifying the overheating. Why? Because Canon literally could've done more to prevent it! They made a conscious choice to not put anything in the camera to remedy the problem. I get that Canon users feel some form of vindication that they're finally "innovating" (I guess?) after years of complacency, but come on! This shouldn't be acceptable, whether it's Canon, Sony, Nikon, Panasonic, etc. ade towell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
