Canon R5 Announced with 8k

So many people online (particularly YouTubers) worrying about a format they will never use, rarely use or can't afford to use. But yes, I take your point and we won't really know until we have the camera and run it through its paces.

the 7d overheated? not mine

re: 8k - sure it's an expensive format to shoot in. but if it's worth it and you want it then you may want to shoot it all day, so intermittent recording for long periods is THE question

but your point is well-taken - can it handle 4K since that's what's really needed bare minimum. I would really like to know how intermittent 4K HQ holds up and if you'll still overheat after a few hours only rolling 1/4 of the time.
 
Tone-scolds are exhausting. No one is forcing you to read this thread if the way we talk upsets you.

Is there at least any hope the 1080p modes on the R6 will look as good as the C100? That's my last hope.

I was overjoyed at the R6 as a b-roll cam/gimbal cam for my beloved and aged C100MKii. The Cinema5D review has put quite a damper on my enthusiasm, though I don't know how often I would use any 4K mode in real-world use.

I am still a bit shocked that the R6 is basically unusable in 4K. It's not just long takes. It seems like it will overheat unexpectedly even doing frequent short clips.
 
You'll have to wait to really know.

It is not clear how the Cinema5D project was shot (although there are 1080p clips that were upscaled in the video...can you find/notice them?).

And/or it's not clear if the APS-C mode will overheat (which would match your C100's sensor).
 
The more I think about it, the Cinema5D video about the R6 has done a massive amount of damage to these cameras' reputations, and it was presented in a pretty sloppy fashion. The clear takeaway is that the R6 is basically unusable as a 4K camera, but we don't know the specifics.

The overheating chart for the R6 only mentions 4K 60p FF and 4K 30p FF. But the video says 4K 24p FF will overheat frequently too. The chart from Canon is clearly implying 4K 24p FF should not overheat at all. So how do we know what other modes will overheat? Will all the APS-C 4K modes overheat? Chart only lists APS-C 60p, but now I have no idea. Christ, will the 1080P overheat? If the chart is hiding one stat, why not more?
 
Because you are not acknowledging all of the other answers you are receiving.

So maybe a bigger font size and less words will make it more clear.

I am trying to help you.

When you say things like, "Christ, will the 1080p overheat?", you appear to be frustrated and longing for answers, and I am trying to help make you understand no one knows the answers to these overheating questions.

We have to wait. Very, very few have the cameras. And very few are interested in spending the time for these tedious tests.

You're still behaving like a child, and a variety of other unkind words.
 
Easy fellas. We've managed over 1800 posts in this thread without a major barney. Let's get back to slagging off YouTube reviewers who don't know jack sh!t but talk as if they're Oscar winners.
