Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 18, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2020 Got to hand it to the Canon marketing department. They are fast at putting out fires. An ability which in case of EOS R5 is useful in the literal sense as well! billdoubleu and kye 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kino Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Even Lok got one on "First Lok."

Neumann Films Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Poor Canon, this camera got hit by a complete tidal wave of marketing from the Ursa launch. Which is unfortunate because they really did innovate and do some great things, you know, by LAST weeks standards 😏 PannySVHS and Inazuma 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised. So much so that most will forgive it the overheating in oversampled mode once clog 3 comes in. newfoundmass, Cassius McGowan and sanveer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s more than that - it’s destroying a shot. Ruining a day’s work. Wrecking a wedding. The potential implications go beyond what can be measured using a thermometer. Easy to forgive? Having said that, I might overlook the issue. I shoot short sequences in cold weather and the 8k might be fun.

I think if the main thing you do is photography and you want some video on the side, or if you want photography and the ability to shoot very high quality short clips, then this is something to consider at least.

Kisaha Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Sony is doing worst thermally for a lot longer, and they became a hit with terrible ergonomics and batteries (until recently). Probably (I say, most certainly) these Canon's will be super hits. "Pro videographer" as it used to be, is probably something of the past, or someone that shoots C series cameras and up, definitely is a not enough demographic to influence A series - in the past - or R series - now - sales significantly. These days I see more "Spec shooters", than video ones. Marcio Kabke Pinheiro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijodeibn Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 R5 and R6 will sell like hotcakes, the new BM is not going to take a bit of canon customers, when Clog3 upgrade is added I am sure we will have exceptional footage and several DIY solutions for the overheating, I still think the R5 is too expensive for all the issues, most probably we will have to use an external monitor for continuos recording, anyway, let's wait and see, next month will be very interesting.

I'm too disappointed to buy either one. Until Canon removes that ridiculous 30min recording limit and offers backup video recording neither of these cameras can replace my GH5. If they do add backup recording and remove the time limit from the R6 and the thermal issues prove to be not as bad as it sounds then I'll probably at a minimum get two R6's to replace the GH5 and maybe an R5 to replace the 5DIV.

ajay Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Taking the overheating aside, (for my needs, shooting 4k 120p) I would probably need to double that investment in order to store and process video from the huge 120p 4k video files. I had one on order but cancelled it once reality set in: I'd have to fork out at least $1,000 in CF Express chips. I'd probably need to purchase a new computer and/or switch to FCP in order to edit the files: $300 to $3,000 (Davinci Resolve will work sort of, but I would have to optimize each clip in order for them to play properly. (At least on my Mac as it is.)) I'd have to upgrade my hard disk array for more storage to store the massive files from their codecs: $2,000 So now I'm looking at an investment in the neighborhood of $7,000 - $10,000 in order to process and store their 4k 120p files. Beautiful footage but at a price. Either I'll stick with what I have (Z Cam E2) or switch to the A7SIII once we find out the details on that camera.
