Canon R5 Announced with 8k

I haven't done the math. There can't be room for that?

They will eventually have something inside of the body, there's definitely room for that based on other cameras' offerings. But even if they have to make the body a little bit bigger for a nice variable ND system then that's fine too.

As far as the RF lenses, there looks like there's enough space to drop in a little "advanced tech" chip back there. ha

It's silly though...a lot of people do not care about ND, especially photographers whom can control their exposure with high shutter speeds in most situations.

This r5 "review" is about stills but there's something particularly interesting there: she's been a Canon DSLR user for years, and states that her EF lenses work better adapted on the r5 than they do on her 5DIV. The AF tests with objects partially covering the subject are very interesting too.

Sony has the DR to spare. I'd be fine with a fast rolling shutter tho (<15ms would be great)

“DR to spare”?

When did that happen lol. Even the Venice is only in RED territory. You shoot gimbal in available light, i am surprised you sound so flippant about digital DR.

CR article is back up...

*Useful Tip*

"Set Overheat Control function to “ON” (default). When the overheat control function is enabled, the movie size and frame rate are automatically changed while the camera is in standby mode to suppress the rise of the internal temperature"

Does that mean when you hit record you're recording in the changed movie size and frame rate. I see potential for forgetting and shooting.

So, they just added both the crop and the bin at the drop of a hat. They might as well add the 2.4/1 aspect too. And 6K.

Only the geniuses at magic lantern can alter that kind of code. I don’t know if the engineers at Canon have enough hands and fingers to hack fast enough to make that happen.

It's more like, "Hey, Kenji, instead of 8K, type in 4K. Hit enter".

PS. I had a Japanese neighbor named Kenji some 25 years ago. I gave him all my heavy metal style rings as a gift. He left me a mostly finished bottle of Jack Daniels Black Label.

She has a good eye. Interesting what she said about EF too. Also Kudos for the best use of a small garden shed.

DR to spare relative to Canon. I'm relaxing a little about DR, like I am about RS, my waistline, and my life goals. Everything is going as I get older.

I mean, I want more DR. But I sort of feel like there's adequate DR, adequate RS, etc

I worry a lot about the semantics of things, as we have stills mirrorless cameras shooting 8K, but only adequate DR. Something wrong with this. Considering 2K is adequate resolution.
