Canon R5 Announced with 8k

120fps 4k is probably a lower quality mode than 24p (12-bit vs 14-bit readout?) if it's like the 1dxmk3 5.5k60 vs 24. So possibly slower RS at 24p
 
CanonRumors has a post about what's coming next and one thought (although nothing is 100% confirmed yet) is that we may see some new adapters later this year.

A new ND adapter would be nice. One that has a clear filter built into it so you do not have to be stuck with the 1.5 stops of ND when you didn't need it (or have to purchase the separate $130 clear filter for it).

[And that's obviously for people using EF lenses.]

And honestly, global shutter makes perfect sense on mirrorless cameras. They can get rid of the physical shutter, then.

I personally don't want the physical shutter gone because on cameras like the R5 it pops closed when theres a lens change covering the sensor. I'm always really cautious when I do a lens change and having a little more protection from environmental debris, to me, is necessary.

For physical filters, do you think clear plus any ND is possible?

1.5-9 stops with the adapter’s internal filter is pretty impressive. Maybe clear isn’t as necessary as it becomes completely fine cranking ISO? If this is the case, the age old “lack of NDs/XLRs” complaint might need updating.
 
Most people do crank the ISO...just easier.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but I just expect them to come up with new things, haha.
 
Judging by how excited people are by this gimpy R5, I doubt they will further blur the line between their stills and cine cameras with better ND adapters etc. The one they've got will be perfect for photogs. You can remove the filter after all
 
Well they have to eventually make something for the RF lenses because that's their future as EF lenses slowly fade out over the next 5-10 years. (And that's being conservative; some think they will be gone in a few years, which is hard to imagine.)

Even simple for now like the filter holder the new Sony 12-24mm has in the back of its mount. Maybe a digital chip ND filter can go there.

Everything internally would be ideal though.

Lol yeah. Maybe there could be an adapter where the ND dial is electronic and can be mapped so when it’s less than 1.5 stops it increases ISO at the same scale as the ND, essentially acting as a clear filter. I know DR shifts as ISO changes but if it didn’t then we’d have 0-9.5 stops with the R5 - time to flush my c200 down the toilet.

Very good analysis on heat management in cameras - Both Panasonic and Sigma managed to control heat, with the latter doing so without a fan - both are large full frame cameras which can deliver pure RAW and record endlessly without overheating.

Looks like Canon is still in the stoneage technology wise! Well done to Andrew Raid for the excellent article!

The BMPCC 6K uses fans, though, they are completely silent. One can shoot with it for hours on a row.

It has a couple points to compensate for that: 5" screen (though non-tilting) and focus peaking. Also, it can be jam-sync'd.

I want it all.

But mostly I'm getting to that place where not only are there shots that I want to achieve but can't keep in focus to my satisfaction (at least without numerous takes), but now my competitors with their sony/canon AF systems can

I'd like to see a quad ISO camera that starts at ISO 1.56 to effectively eliminate the need for ND filters in the first place. Not sure if that's possible or not, but it sounds plausible.
 
Thanks for the heads up. I just was reading it when they took it down! Anyway, it appears than Canon did offer a way forward for longer record time with the non-oversampled 4k (full sensor width) and the APS-C 4k. Each are listed as being not constrained by heat. But I guess they still have a the stupid 30 minute record limit?

The R6 is listed as having all 4k modes as being heat limited. So sadly, the R6 is a little more limited than the R5 with regards to heat and recording up time.

Refreshing to see Canon out in the wild addressing concerns/feedback so quickly.

Now you're thinking...I'd take that.

Interesting info Run&Gun - out of curiosity, have you ever heard of a bad battery breaking a camera? Hasn't happened to me yet knock on wood

This happened to a friend of mine on his a7R II. With a battery brand that I've used often and never gave me any issues.
