Yeah I hope canon, sony or panasonic would just buy up ARRI just for its patents. Like Nikon did with RED (the nikon ZR looks amazing). If somebody would buy up ARRI and trickle down their patents in a 2K body they would own the filmmaker space and these camera's would fly off the shelves. (Event video etc might be a different game, where fast AF is more important, but heck these big 3 companies already have decent enough AF today as is). But sadly also a sign that the old ways of working is done for. AI will eat lunches, social media has killed traditional video jobs (artfull and skillfull). watching TV has declined, watching slop filmed with an iphone with crazy transitions and bad lighting has become the norm. (as it feels more real to the consumers, and I get that, but also sad to see jobs, careers and also art plummet). Even the actual movies that are being release over the last 15 yeras have been disneyfied. (cute animal, jokes, woke characters, ...) Not sure if anyone watched the new predator movie. The beginning of the film was great, and the ending was great, but man the middle part with bud, woke synthetics and the friendship arc just sucked. -

If it wasn't before, there's certainly a lot of those in the Billionaire class that have pivoted to literally advocating for such, are on record wanting democracy to end, and using these tools now. Anyway, fwiw, I'm kind of amazed this niche that you've carved with internet 1.0 is still active. I guess some of us are old enough for that digital nostalgia. -
R8 will have advantage for low light vs R7 being an FF camera, I did shoot R8 under summer sun in 4K in a beach and it was fine (more than 2hrs) but it does have temperature guage at slightly more than half way. Interior is fine for R8 as long you got those fan add on, my R8 hasnt shut down on me for overheating yet. R7 on the other hand is a beast in terms of long form recording, I hardly see the temperature guage showing up unlike the R8 even in direct summer sun, paired with sigma 18-50mm 2.8 you have pretty killer combo (or 17-40 1.8 to give u the FF look) -
I had a go with an FX2 yesterday. The tilting EVF is great. As are all tilting EVFs. -
Owner of an R8 here. Those big phat sensels and sophisticated AF will help you big time in low light. 1080p is very good, if you need it. I've had zero problems with overheating in indoor situations, but the body will get warm if you push it all the way to 2 hours of recording. Same goes for SD card. Remember that you can use EF APS-C lenses with the official adapter and that opens up a huge panoply of options for the R8 which were never available for EF bodies. You'll get the APS-C crop in video, of course, but it's still a great option. Since my R8 lives on a tripod I use mine with a venerable EF-S 17-55 F2.8. That's it. For video I need nothing more, save for some lights and a good Rode wireless lavalier mic kit. Minimal set-up, every good results. P.S: if you'll be swapping SD cards in long recording sessions and the camera has to remain on a tripod, avoid the R8. The SD card is placed on the bottom, so you'll be hitting your battery constantly. The battery door is the worst I've ever seen in any Canon camera irregardless of price. Go for the R7 and its side-loading SD card slot, in that case.
