I guess I will use this thread to add random notes about the canon R6v that I just bought.
Background,
Both of my canon cameras make fine images but..
My Canon r6i overheats, My C200 burns data and has 1983 auto focus.
I tried out the C80 and C400 - my impression is that they are to compromised to buy. Price, C80 lack opengate, the app doesnt seem to work for remote operation et al.
The R6V is my new 'cinema' camera, for half the price or the other two. Im painfully aware that it has no ND or XLR but also £2000 cheaper means I can buy some extras to tag on.
The first extra I bought was the deity PR4 audio recorder. -unlike an XLR handle this recorder can be handed off to a reporter or hooked up to a sound desk, minimallu it can also provide XLR audio to the camera
Quick observations..
great -50% punch in (focus bash , mag mode) while rolling
great -RBG wfm
great - Red box recording not a red blob
Slight of hand..
No opengate at 50p (any codec)
No opengate at 4k (has to be 7k
The external monitor.
Works well handshakes fast, can have a LUT while the camera screen has no lut
Camera screen is on in some modes of external monitor
External monitor seems to lack..
red recording box
punch in facility
Power
LPe6 c6 batter doesnt work, newer fake battery doesnt work Dtap to dummy battery (old) doesnt work
LPE6P came with cam and does work and Ive just ordered smallrig lpe6 dummy batter which DOES work.
More to follow.
