currensheldon Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 WOW. That's a pretty impressive update for the R5, especially C-Log3 and Raw Lite. I'd love to see whatever raw compression this is in 8k in their 4k raw cameras (C200, C300III, C500II). The 1gbps 4k still has massive file sizes, but if the 8k is 1.3gbps, then I'd assume 400-600mbps in 4k with the same compression is possible. Something like 8:1, perhaps?

wolf33d Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Absolutely sucks that 4K120 is still All-I though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I follow your POV but let's not forget going with 5X the 24p rate, we have 376Mbps as 'regular' speed equivalent, so it's not that bad detail-wise also in order to avoid any potential introduction of nasty artifacts along your footage ; ) Without mention, you can always recode it : ) I'd firmly suggest this one, though: shooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
independent Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Just updated. Wow, game changer. Must test recording time. Overheating a thing of the past? If the only recording limitation is the 30-min recording time, practically speaking, then overheating might be a concern only in hot environments. The RAW LIGHT (a bit awkward to navigate so many options in the menu now) - I'm genuinely surprised. The regular raw bitrate is proportional to cinema raw light, so I doubted Canon could somehow decrease the bitrate-but they did! A new format that is nearly 40% reduced, even below the C500ii's 6k raw. This has a major impact on storage costs in the post-production chain. gt3rs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
independent Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Some of you guys are getting way too caught up in dynamic range "numbers" on tests. All the recent cameras have similar dynamic range, although the processing will manipulate those numbers obviously (see Sonys w/ blotchy NR - is that worth it for you?) For the R5, shoot raw, protect the highlights. Use clog2. When you downscale from 8K, most visible noise will be gone--any remaining will be a fine, film-like grain that's quite nice. No better image south of the C500ii or fx9 in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Hummus Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I can’t get the new RAW light files to display in Final Cut Pro on a M1 MBP. I can import them but the video files are just all black. There is sound and FCP correctly applied Canon Log2 in the settings. Strange. Files playback fine on R5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is truly surprising as the compression ratio is more than any C camera from Canon. 8k RAW at 1.3 Gbits/s is very very good is basically in the same ballpark as 8:1 RED 8k RAW shooter, Video Hummus and Emanuel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever this compression ratio is, I'd LOVE it if they brought it to 4k in the the C300 III, C200, and any other future 4k raw cameras. 8:1 is sort of the sweet spot for quality and file sizes. For 4k, that would probably be closer o 400-600mbps, which is the same or a bit more than All-I. shooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8k RAW Lite is the same file size as the 8k All-I on the R5, they should definitely do that to their other camera. currensheldon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
