Django Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Agreed on no crop 4K60p being an essential feature to me as well. I don't want any type of sensor crop when changing frame rates (no matter sensor size). The original R6 is still a good deal for that for under $2K. Overheating is present but somewhat manageable. R5 is coming down in second hand prices to the point where its a solid alternative to all these other newer releases in the $3K region. Its biggest competitor remains.. A7Siii if 8K isn't required. It has the full HDMI, much better DR, lower RS, better non binned 4K120p and of course the passive cooling meaning its still less prone to overheating than an R5.. and of course the third party lens options. This is currently Canons biggest con. Of course Nikon Z8 will be announced next week and will probably beat all these FF cams with stacked sensor 8K60p, ProRes etc. But will be a $4.5K camera..

Ty Harper Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Longshot here, but anyone have experience with the R50 in hot climates (100F or so)? I'm researching the R50 at the moment for an overseas trip/passion project (can be had for $300USD nowadays!) and I'm wondering: (i) If anyone who has used it in hot (100F or so) conditions can chime in about experiences w/ overheating (like, how much time you've gotten on average when shooting very short - 60 sec or less - clips)? (ii) Given that it only has HDR PQ and no CLOG at all - how does the HDR PQ matches up with other cams (like the R5C, R5, etc) I'm aware that some have successfully added thermal pads to reduce overheating but I'm hoping to not have to do all that! Again, a long shot but any informed opinions are appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
