Canon R5 Announced with 8k

I don't mean no ill will. In about two weeks, YouTube will be flooded with R5/R6 videos. Tons of different feedback and perspectives from people all over the world.

We will all be much more enlightened.
 
If that happens for everyone on the R6 even at 24p then the only hope left is to use it in the APS-C mode if it makes a difference, but at that point not sure it's even worth the price to use it that way.
 
It probably works in APS-C mode that way as that mode is not listed on their overheat chart. But yeah I ain't gonna buy it for that.
I'm still considering the R5 because it has that safety pixel-binned mode to fall back on.

I'm really starting to get the impression that Canon intentionally did nothing to dissipate heat in these bodies.

Why? So that people will say, "if you want to shoot longform video, just buy a cinema camera!" Which is what everyone is saying
 
They have 4K/60p APS-C listed, but not listing 4K/30p/24p and then viewing reports like the one above is confusing.

I'm also assuming overheating occurred 25 minutes into the interview when the camera started rolling from a cold state and not after a bunch of b-roll hours before.

These little details are so important - but yet again it is indeed not something anyone wants to worry about (and shouldn't).

They have full-frame 4k30p listed

Those details are important. But the basic piece of info is that the R6 overheats shooting full-frame. Is it not a camera that doesn't not shoot endlessly
 
My post above should have said just 4K/24p for the R6.

(Been looking back-and-forth at the R5/R6 charts side by side. R5 has 30p listed, but obviously notes it's not affected in its full width non-HQ 4K.)
 
So, the next question is - which camera's guts will make it into a "non-hybrid/pure" video camera?

R6 is likely to end up in C100 MKIII, 1D X MKIII in C200 MKII and R5 in C700 MKII.

At the risk of getting scolded for bringing the bad vibes, pixel binned 4k doesn't look very good on the R5, there's quite a difference from HQ mode. Check out Gordon Laing's tests

Although I also posted GL's videos because I like his tests, I've also been a little confused by his non C-Log clips because the details aren't clear.

Meaning...if the camera's C-Log is turned 'OFF' then the only way to capture internal 10-bit is to turn HDR PQ 'ON'.

And I don't know what we're looking at in clips like the one above. Is that HDR PQ 10-bit or a picture style like neutral 8-bit, you know?

Any idea how it worked for Sony users real world?

And sorry no mention of R6.

No idea...I used the a6300 with a dummy battery and Atomos and it never, ever overheated which is insane because it would always overheat when used as is.
 
Yeah, so that's another point; who is going to use a Ninja V for their R5 or R6? (Or another recorder.)

Not ideal, but the extra $599 investment could save you money on cards while surely also extending your recording times (and you wouldn't sacrifice your quality on the R5).

A Ninja V or BM VA is super small so could be worth it.
 
No one would blame you. Back in the day many of us really wanted a 4K Ninja Star half the size of the current one that could be used on the shoe.
