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. -

For a start nobody seems to be able to concentrate for long enough to watch what is being made. Boomers have movies on in the background like elevator music for smartphone scrolling. Everyone could do the industry a favour by un-addicting themselves from their phones for long enough to look up for 10 seconds and watching something long-form, challenging and not family friendly. But everyone is too exhausted and overworked for it, and they have children hanging around on tablets - you can't get the time as a couple to go out and watch Taxi Driver and you can't put it on at home either because it would upset the brats. It's a big cultural shift in the world and filmmaking is one of the big victims of it. It is strange as pre-pandemic, I thought cinema was doing well and there was that moment when Oppenheimer / Barbie were all that people talked about, and the F1 movie has done incredibly well, one of the biggest grossing movies of all time. Apple is spending billions on movie production. There are signs of life. Why is it that everyone seems to be struggling so much - well, it's just a typical industry recession, less demand, because put simply - there's just TOO MUCH CONTENT and too much competition from people's shitty phone addictions for the customer's attention. -

Camera market is a total sideshow for Zeiss, whose main income stream is from EUV lithography machine lenses, as a partner with ASML -> TSMC. The iPhone CPU is etched into silicon using Zeiss glass. These big companies are interested in growth. They'd rather buy an unprofitable, but growing company, than a profitable but stagnant one. The Chinese might buy ARRI for the patents and branding. Only if it stays in German hands will they continue as a cinema camera manufacturer. That's what I think anyway and I could be wrong, we'll see.
