Canon R5 Announced with 8k

I really disliked pressing buttons on the C200 and using its external touchscreen...slowed me down.

But as long as they keep the features coming to all of their cameras, it's all good. :)

do you own a C200?

It's my first Canon Cinema and so far and I don't find the handling of tracking unhandy. It's just one button to activate and one touch for the target. For the rest of the time face detection does a brilliant job.

Have you ever used a stills camera for DPAF video?

If you haven't, kindly bookmark this post and come back to me when you use your R5.

I used the C200 many times in 2017, before most people even then knew what DPAF was...its AF wasn't for me and I prefer the implementation of the stills cameras and the responsiveness of the LCD.

Face-detection on the C200 is actually known to be a complete failure, so I'm concerned about your statement...

The area focus is much, much better.
 
It was no offense just a question and a feedback from 4 weeks of rare usage.

I have used the 5DM4 one time for video not voluntarily and I can’t tell anything about af but the experience in general wasn’t great.
 
I am not really good in focus pulling and I had to try hard for 10 years now since I added video to my business. For me the C300iii feels like heaven. :grin: I never compared to stills though. It’s a different story even I’m doing both.
 
I use their stills camera for video...I don't even know how it works for pictures (in terms of how good it is), but I'm assuming it's the same.

The process of having focus automatically pulled for you - which you can trust 99% of the time - while you can concentrate on framing and exposure is truly a gift.

I understand & appreciate the art of manual focusing and that connection with your camera, and even the subject, but it's just not for me.

I switched to Panasonic S1R for stills because Canon put me behind my competitors. And that was after quite some time I was waiting for sth new. 5DM4 resolution is not competitive and 5D R has 50mp but horrible issues with blurred images when you shoot handheld. Both are not very good in low light.

I’d say Canon was 2 yrs (too) late with the R5. We have seen 3 generations of high res still cameras from Sony when nothing happened rom Canon.

The DPAF on my 80D is better than my C200 or 300 MKII. It just latches on and never lets go.
 
Supposedly 8K RAW...

C-Log3 from Cinema RAW Development. (You can choose C-Log2 or C-Log3 in CRD.)

Thanks for the link Norbro, I had been looking for some RAW files to test out color grading. I used Clog2 and CanonCinemaGamut in Davinci Resolve RAW tab:

Would need a pretty beefy computer to be able to edit these files at full resolution without proxies. BRAW and R3D's definitely fare way better on my computer (6-core with GTX1080 Ti). However, at half res decode quality I am able to get playback without any issues with Davinci Resolve.
 
Sorry, you can't view or download this file at this time.
Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently.

seems that quite some people were interested :)
 
The new DPAF II keeps tracking your face even when you turn around.

The box stays on the back of your head. lol

(And it looks like there is a recording button on the LCD...absolutely love that if so.)
