Logan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 lol, I’m not apologizing for anything. I would never buy this camera or the r6 in it’s current state. I’m pointing out holes in yours and others logic or lack thereof. Yes, they work for a company but they have shown to be hard on companies about issues. You can choose to ignore what I said and what they said in the July 9th video all you want. Andrew sells his own presets here, does that mean you don’t trust him to review someone else’s?

ajay Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So getting back to the camera...I don't think there is any viable workaround and Canon's not going to give you much. I stated earlier today, I've given up hope to make this into a decent video camera. Here's why: Pulling the battery, segmenting clips using FAT32 is useful for confirming that the camera really can work for extended periods w/o overheating but it's not a viable workaround. Doesn't seem to work with CFast either. Magic Lantern - Canon has changed things up making it more difficult to boot the added firmware, let alone decode. Probably not impossible, but a lot of work will need to be done. Then even if you can create workarounds, Canon could potentially sue. I've enjoyed the work that some many have done on this to reveal the Canon Cripplehammer but it's probably time to close up shop and move on. Thoughts?

David Bowgett Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So, in the age where mirrorless is king, Canon's best option for video (not counting their cinema cameras) is a DSLR aimed primarily at sports shooters. You couldn't make this s**t up if you tried. foliovision and chadandreo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only situations it's not suitable are video modes where the data rate is too high for SD cards, like 4K120P and raw shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't phantom a wedding videographer, preformatting their chips in FAT32 using Linux or some 3rd party software, then record x-amount of footage, then making sure they record enough extra footage so that what they want to keep makes it to a recorded block of data before pulling the battery. That's not viable IMHO. And for myself personally, I do mostly wildlife shooting and use 4k120P quite often. I also leave cameras running to catch a particular moment when the subject does something of interest. But, that is just my personal use. foliovision 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what witchery is going on now but if you want to keep your battery pull abilities Hold off on updating. It seemed to work when I tried a few times earlier, but after using the R5 throughout the day trying different modes... dont update, and if you did... MY BAD.

I needed to confirm a few more times. Anyone that updated can follow this up to echo but seems like its ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I am lost now, my friend : ) Is the new firmware update safe then? I am in the market to commit the sacrilege to probably buy one... I'm sorry I can't resist with an effective mod on the corner ; ) The hybrid shooter inside me begs for it! LOL 8K / 4K 120fps / IBIS / AF combo is too much... to resist quiet! : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R5 gave some read errors a couple times, I reformatted, and it would work on and off but it was a really old card. I switched back to my Prograde cards and everything was fine. I don't know honestly will test more to solidify all this. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted August 27, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2020 The changed encryption on this latest firmware means Magic Lantern will likely not be able to crack it open and explore, and will instead dump the original firmware to investigate a fix - any fix may only be compatible with that one. Can you roll back to previous version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerv Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 how does the R5 4k HQ compare to the 1DC 4K MJPEG is it really that much better or barely noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger 2.0 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 6 hours ago, Andrew Reid said: Can you roll back to previous version? Since you can't download version 1.0, it's not possible to downgrade. Once 1.2 arrives, we will know if downgrade (to 1.1) is still possible. But I guess they can always block it if they really want to. Biggest danger is if they ever disable or protect the UART port on the camera. If they do, there is no peaking inside.

Can you roll back to previous version? yeah which might also mean newer camera's are going to get shipped with a newer firmware version. So these first batches might be a unicorn.
