Canon R5 Announced with 8k

TY. I did add grain (but only in this last post). And I was thinking the same thing...if this is 120p then the quality of 8K RAW may replace all of my photography. lol

I mean...high-end stills will always be high-end stills, especially with sets and the direction of lighting, but at some point it's like... "yeah, this still frame from a video could work too."
 
For sure.

One thing I noticed with these 4K/120p files is they are overcranked over 30p. Not a big deal (and has been common with some Canon cameras in the past), but wondering if you can change the project framerate to 24p.

In the Sony mirrorless cameras, you can choose 24p or 30p.

Like what I'm seeing. Most of these could be glossy ads.



Whoa. Those Canon LUT's, at least on my MBP screen... 1) Cartoonish saturation, 2) Green, 3) Yellow

Everybody's work was better than Canon's in this regard.

Agreed. Norbro's and Teddy's were better

I dont think they crippled it intentionally. I just think they couldn't please everyone at once. To make it work for me would have meant a larger body, less weather sealing, no IBIS, or all of the above. And this is a photog-first camera

And to be honest, I'm still considering it. It has reliable pixel-binned 4k 24/30. The pixel-binned 4K60p has a 35-minute overheat limit. Which is probably pretty close to achieving escape velocity. If you're only shooting 2/3 of the time, maybe it would work... even when I'm rolling continuous 4K60, I'm cutting regularly. Gotta wait for more tests

Right but none of my clients turn away my cameras because they have "less than 16 stops DR" or "RS longer than 25ms". They may tangle with the effects and develop a preference. But they don't quantify it like resolution

Ok I lied - there's HDR. But if you surpass the minimum, they may not request a higher DR figure than that dunno

Once you start saying what you and your clients need, I have no argument there. Though there are still clients demanding Alexa and hating 4K, and some even requiring 720-1080. So, I get what you mean for a lot of people, and I personally really like 4K as a video resolution. 8K is nice too, but few clients are asking for it at this time.

But think about it, we have the resolution, we have the frame rates, we have the AF, we have the low light sensitivity, wee have the raw and the compressed codes, we have the form factor, we have the colour science..... so really getting closer to the DR our eyes perceive is kind of the that is going to give us the biggest image improvements going forward.

Agreed. It doesn't feel like a cripple, just was making a joke about conspiracies.

Taycan Turbo S is rated at 750 hp, so it drains its batteries a lot faster than a car designed for maximum efficiency.

So you're saying don't use generic LP-E6's in the Taycan? Abe might have enough laying around to power one... :happy:

And how did we get on cars... yet again??? :grin:

Well, I had my first shoot today in weeks. Vibrator testimonials - 2 camera 4K 30p. The R5 AF would have been great because the profile camera was unmanned and it could have kept focus locked on subject if she shifted (which she didn't really). Such is my life

The other "fun" thing was that the producer told me he would be cropping in on the product most of the time in both shots. Which required me to frame tighter on talent and stop down for enough DOF in both shots. Basically resulting in a compromised shot in every permutation available

I tend to feel like a modified El Camino would make a great car for camera people.

I’ll need to revisit this after some sleep, because I know I’m missing some lay-ups...

NP1's and BP-90's- my least favorite batteries ever, and the bane of my existence in the 80's (developing memories)... (I'm ancient, a true antique, and not a precious one). All AB after that.

Bebob and Block Battery are making some interesting mounts. But Anton Bauer Gold Mount still feels like the best compromise between loose tolerances and secure. Like so many classic designs.
 
My Sony cameras have never blinked in the heat. I've had them die in the cold though. My C500MKII coughs and splutters when it's above 35C but still gets the job done. This R5 overheating issue is deja vu all over again. Which is a shame but I don't shoot 4K60 for anything other than short clips, so it might not be a deal-breaker for me. Still deciding...

I had an issue with Davinci Resolve randomly not seeing the files and giving the "media offline" message every time I tried to scrub the timeline. I'm on the latest version of Davinci Resolve, so not sure if an update is coming soon or if it was an issue on my end. I ended up transcoding the files to ProRes with Media Encoder before I could play around with colorgrading them in Davinci Resolve.

That was quick. Davinci Resolve 16.2.4 update is now available:

"New DaVinci Resolve 16.2.4 Update! Get higher quality decoding for EOS-1D X Mark III and EOS R5 raw clips, improved playhead sync between the timeline and sync bin on the cut page, better tone mapping in HDR projects and more!"

Actually, a typical laptop battery may have 8 cells while an electric car battery 5,000-10,000. But they're the same cells. It's easier to manufacture it this way.

A common thread, huh?
