Most people will be filming with the R5 in short bursts for high-quality b-roll for commercials, music videos, fashion clips, product shots, etc. in which the camera will likely never overheat. Start and stop, start and stop...move around...start and stop, start and stop.
This isn't a camera for 45 minute keynote presentations in 8K, which would be a complete waste of resolution even if it was. The other 4K modes will not overheat, will be easier to work with, and will look great if you did need to shoot longer clips (with a slight pause around 30 minutes).
A compact package with stills, DPAF, IBIS, 10-bit, 8K, 4K/120p, nice colors, endless lens options, amazing menu and programmability and very nice ergonomics outweighs any worries about overheating most people will not even experience in the first place unless [again] they are purchasing this camera for the wrong type of work.
second this - a XLR adapter from Canon would be great, sooo convenient with those for Pana and Sony, especially on Pana where the batteries last long.
I just played for 10min. I will check tomorrow in resolve. Time for sleep in the ‘ole world
I rarely shoot weddings but this is why I hate them. And the equipment: buying, renting, maintaining, transport, setup, breakdown... If you want to make money you have to limit new equipment purchase, but with each new year...
I had the same problem with CR Plugin 1.4 and FCPX ...
Bottom line is Canon states the required environment for their plugin is the ability to run FCPX ... which I can do.
No joy with the Canon 1DX III files ... and I have a Mac Pro with 12 cores 3.46 Xeon with 96Gb Ram ... should be adequate
for this application.
Did a quick color grade. I'm noticing on Resolve 16.2.4, there is no change to the image when switching gamma between Canon log and log2 in the raw tab. However there is change when switching from either log or log2 to log3.



This. But I can also see narrative here too. I mean I just had a shoot during the madness with The BMCC 4K with actors and there’s on and off during a shoot all the time. I shut down the camera numerous times while I worked things out. All I want to see is some low light night shots with the r5 recording at the 19 minute mark.

Did you try downloading one of the 8K CRM files on the last page? And importing into FCP X?
Oh yeah, they can be good on things like one handed gimbals for some quick b-roll or other beauty type shot, but I would go nuts trying to use one as a primary camera, even without the recording limits.
You could try the Saramonic SmartRig+ 2-Kanal XLR adapter. I had it with good results on the z-cam E2
Over the weekend, this thread has become the official record holder for most replies for a topic in the "Industry News & Information" section with - at the time of this writing and including this post - 1637 replies.
But that pales in comparison to other threads like the Komodo one over on RU with 5600+.
Or even the DVX200 thread here a few years back with almost 3000.
