Canon R5 Announced with 8k


here's another test through the window of my balcony door.
100F+ outside. once you open the door the heat raises 5 degrees (no AC)

EF 70-200/f2.8 @ 200mm f6.3. Handheld shot through viewfinder. This is amazing.

I saw the presentation of the laowa 25-100 at newsshooter.
There's a sample of a commercial mostly shot handheld and I felt seasick because if all this shaking.
I don't care if still lenses are cinematic or not if I get these great stabilisation with AF
 
. Another advantage of the A7SIII is the faster sensor scan and decreased rolling shutter will likely make post stabilization work better.

Not to mention the in-body digital IS which seems to me like the equivalent of a post-stabiisation tool (if only performing translation moves) that still delivers full 4K at the expense of a slight crop and no longer oversampling (as it seems to me that the regular mode must downsample from 4240 to 3840)

Eventually all the features will be integrated into cine lenses as well, like the canon 18-80. Sony is making a big push to put out cine lenses with AF as well so you can have your cake and eat it too
 
I was about to pursue that before coronavirus - I have Sony Pro support. Rather than just call them I planned on first getting together with our other operators and doing tests between a bunch of bodies and lenses, noting lens & body firmware, serial #s, etc. But we've now decided to replace most of our Alpha cameras with A7SIIIs and will probably get a couple of FX6s if they look OK. We likely won't be shooting anything major until early next year so there's no rush. My gut feel is it's a one-off problem since our other operators using the same lenses and bodies have not reported it.

Re stabilization in post, I have many tools for that but in general I think the Resolve stabilizer works the best. It's within the tracker menu of the color panel. Another advantage of the A7SIII is the faster sensor scan and decreased rolling shutter will likely make post stabilization work better. Some of the stabilizers try to correct for jello or rolling shutter but they don't do that well.

The post stabilization that can be done with Sony Catalyst software is really good (albeit at a slight crop. typically 10%). It is based on gyroscope stabilization that is in the metadata of the file. The FX9 and the Sony A7SIII both have this ability. I wonder it this metadata is will also be in the ProRes RAW files.

Have you worked with the Catalyst software? For me, it was an inconvenient extra step, the same as the Canon RAW Development module. Maybe if you have time to play
but when editing for clients on deadlines, most of us have no time to noodle around in manufacturer software modules. We need the same functionality built into Resolve, AVID, Premiere and FCP X,
either written into the code or as a software plug-in.
 
the Catalyst solution is limited to a few cameras.
And shooting on a gimbal or steadicam gives much more options in framing as running handheld with a easyrig
 
NorBro's a New Yorker. He can't be bullied into doing anything
I've been transcoding everything...takes an hour or two depending on how much footage and then I edit it with no issues.
8K RAW takes just under 2 hours in CRD for 45 seconds. LOL. (I'm serious too.)
Looks like NorBro might've been bullied into transcoding? :badputer:


At 8k (rpm) after 12 minutes it melts. And sorry to bring cars in again...
Well played, sir. Possibly best car reference/joke yet? :thumbsup:
 
If I preferred to use a mixture of the highest-quality modes, how much transcoding could there have really been? lol

I didn't have time to watch the entire video but the last one, while it does a good job on the handled shots it's noticeably softer. If you need to fix something in post fine but it's not really a substitute for a gimbal.
 
Half of the time I don't even know what you're saying, lol.
If half the time half the people knew twice as much as all the people who knew half as much some of the time, who knows how much who would know?

You don't say - you and me both... :laugh:
 
From canon rumors - new EOS M body coming:

"Below are specifications I have been sent for an upcoming EOS M camera, though the source didn’t know if this was the EOS M50 Mark II or an M camera above the EOS M6 Mark II.

Canon EOS M camera specifications:

32mp
IBIS
DPAF II
New DIGIC Processor (perhaps a lesser version of DIGIC X?)
EVF
Dual SD Cards
12fps
Full sensor width 4K up to 60p
1080p at 120p
CLog"
 
I don’t follow the YouTubers. Who is this guy and why would his lip-flap carry any more weight than a magic 8-ball that you can buy at a toy store? Right now, that story smells about as fishy as the dumpster behind Captain D’s.
