Canon R5 Announced with 8k

Interestingly, I haven't seen a claim for dynamic range with these from them (in the official press releases).

12 stops was there go to for many cameras over the years, but they really rated lower closer to 11-11.5.

The cameras are no doubt getting better (as they should).
 
Canon Log can ONLY encode up to 12 stops.

Man, watching videos of people handling the cameras...their ports situation has not improved in a decade. Definitely not a hybrid in that regard
 
Yes sorry not officially from Canon I read it from Newshooter
"Canon doesn’t officially list dynamic range or base ISO when shooting video for any of its mirrorless cameras. From sources within Canon that I have spoken to, the best results will be obtained at 400 ISO and the dynamic range of the R5 should be around 12 stops.

This is not a Canon C300 Mark III or C500 Mark II and people should not be expecting that the R5 will have the same dynamic range as those cameras."
 
Not sure what he's talking about as far as not listing dynamic range. They all have it listed if Canon LOG is available besides these new ones.

Like the EOS R...

Well having played with the EOS-r and the Pana S1 the difference in DR is very clear. Hopefully these new R's are better than that
 
All the 4K on R6 have a crop and it's 1.06

I'm reading that HDR PQ could encode up to 28 stops of DR....I'm not sure if that's true but I'm not familiar with the format. Anyone know?
 
How is it possible for the R5 to have non-cropped 8K sensor raw from 45 megapixels?

Not 45 megapixels - that's for a 3:2 aspect ratio (8192 x 5464).

From the 8192 x 4320 window at DCI aspect ratio - so like 35.3 megapixels.

Anyone been able to cleverly measure rolling shutter yet? I fear it'll be above 30ms in 8K mode but maybe the 4K 60p or 120p mode will be better (at the expense of some softness / aliasing)... probably going to wait for that info and wait to see Sony's announcements before putting any money down.

That's hot. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

The CVP review said it's not Canon Raw light like the C300, but raw like on 1DXIII, 2800 mbps. So what raw format is that? CDNG?
 
While interesting, the 8K doesn’t do anything for me. I’m not even sure the 4K full frame does anymore. I’ve been pretty happy with my C100s. If anything I’m interested to see if the EOS R price drops. I would like a full frame Canon stills camera. Never owned one. But one that can also double as a crop sensor 4K camera with EF-S glass is a beneficial bonus.
I’ll keep an eye on the R6 as well just for fun.
 
Whoah it looks like you can use the old LP-E6 batteries in these new cameras. I've got a bunch

With the R6, I could end up needing no new accessories besides the mount adapter
 
This video from a Canon ambassador says you can shoot 4k24p without a crop. - 5:00 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wrdEC5UU8E&t=455s I am sure it will all be known soon.

Hmm. I usually trust newsshooter because they do their homework well. They write the following and show a picture:

"The UHD recordings are oversampled from 5.1K. The R6 doesn’t quite use the full width of the sensor, but it is pretty close (around 94%). There will be a tiny crop, but in real-world applications, it should be almost unnoticeable."

I dont mind a slight crop. As long as it's the same in 24 and 60 fps so your framing doesn't change if you switch between them. And apparently full frame HD has no crop.
