Nugat Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 "Cinema Line" of any camera manufacturer is not only about picture quality. It's also about reliability, workflow standards, service reaction time... FX9 is at the bottom of Sony cinema line, a one-man-show camera. But it borrows the 6k sensor from the top Venice and the lens mount is cinema modified. That alone might cost more than A7s. It also has unique functions like electronic auto ND filter. In October it will get firmware 2.0 and RAW hardware. A7s bricked on one tester when he put the overheating control option to "off". The media were destroyed. Why would Sony even enable such a function? Will they remove it after some productions lose their media? Fortunately Canon R5 does not allow to shoot past the danger point.

I wasn't aware of the bricking problem- that sounds bad! Does that RAW hardware come with the FX9 or is Sony making people pay for it? I think this might be the specific point that FX9 owners were peed-off about. As for the R5, I think it has yet to be seen how it behaves under duress... all we know for sure is the insane overheating wait-times, making it unusable for many types of shooting.

Cliff Totten Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 For all the people that believe that Cine camcorder markets and mirrorless markets don't overlap. I'm a perfect example that the DO. I sold my Sony FS7 and was literally 2 days away from buying a Panasonic EVA-1. Then Lumix announced the S1H and that stopped be cold in my tracks. I wound up buying the S1H instead and I'm perfectly happy about replacing my FS7 and (almost) EVA-1 with the S1H. I pre-ordered the A7S-III because I want one of my cameras to have PDAF and will add it as B-cam to my S1H. The rumored Sony FX6? Sounded tempting at first....but with the A7S-III, I no longer have any use for an FX6. Yeah...the mirror less and pro camcorder markets DO overlap....substantially.

So what you're saying is that Panasonic lost about 2000 pounds with your buying the S1H rather than the EVA-1 because they made a mirrorless camera that sufficed your needs. Interesting. I'm sure someone is paying attention to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dose your S1H footage the FS7 ? And where do you think the A7S3 will line up to the S1h ? I'm asking this because you're mixing two different color theories into the mix. Cine camcorder DP's haven't crossed over is the issue. It seems like you have a few that use mirror-less with cine cams but if given the choice their going for cine cams.

The recovery times are well specified on canon doc so nothing surprising.... disappointing yes..... but not surprising.... It will cost them a fortune to do the recall to make the rather small video segment happy. If I would be canon I would announce a R5c ... 700$ more in a body with fan..... video oriented people would be very happy... no recall and most people that are just doing a few short clip are happy with the current R5 On the photo part of the world it seems a gold rush to get one....

You do realise that it overheats when it is switched on, regardless sof whether you shoot photo or video. Which means, if you shoot enough photo, it will overheat then, as well. So it's not an issues endemic to shooting video alone. As long as the camera switches on, it is overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the complete test of 7As3 vs R5. The info about Sony bricking and destroying media is in the comments, the author did not want to sound alarms before checking with Sony. RAW for FX9 is not free. Nothing is in Pro Sonyland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the photo side of the world only 1 guy managed to get the overheated sign and was using an old 90d battery and with really no details on the occurrence nobody else has reported an issue with photo mode with people went through 2 batteries and 3000+ photos at 20fps... at least so far....

All I know, right now, is that Canon and spineless YouTube influencers are trying to tell us half truths and lots of lies. I will let early users and non-paid reviewers give us the realm picture. From reasonably honest reviewers, it isnt looking very good for Canon. For a camera they have had in the offing since Adam and Eve, that isn't a good sign. And especially when they were all over, even before they actually released. Dependability should be the No.1 requirement for a camera, especially for this price point and the targeted demographics.

If someone is uninformed, I would encourage them to read up on the field tests and all the information I put in the one place here.

This is to misunderstand the market the EOS R5 is aimed at. Canon did not go to the trouble of high video specs for nothing. It cost millions in R&D "just to please this small video crowd". It is not a small crowd at all. The modern photography business is about multimedia and mixed media. Both video and stills are needed by clients in the internet age. The EOS R5 is the mirrorless successor to the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. The kind of people who use a 5D Mark IV will use an EOS R5. They need the reliability and the high performance video. This is a massive cock up by Canon and they will suffer big style if they don't recall it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the first disappointed but the choices probably were: 1 do an amazing photo camera with 4k 30 binned/line skipped 2 do an amazing photo camera with 4k 30 binned/line skipped + limited but super high quality modes 3 do an amazing photo camera with unlimited super quality modes is a bigger body with a fan ala sh1 Now what is the no 1 competitor camera in the R5 segment for canon? A7R IV so any business man would pick 1 or 2 with 2 making it more attractive spec wise..... even we 50 cry babies in this forum will not be happy and call the ultimate demise of canon.... go read some photo forums I never saw so much exitemnt for a canon camera in the last 10 years by people that they got the camera 4 minutes ago, Andrew Reid said: This is to misunderstand the market the EOS R5 is aimed at.
