Canon are working on a firmware update for the EOS R5.
Month: July 2020
Comment on the forum The Canon EOS R5 works in mysterious ways. Canon chose to implement 8K and 4K/120p on this camera knowing that heat build-up will make for some short recording times. This was a risk, because the perceived hit to reliability can generate a lot of bad publicity. What was Canon thinking and what else does the camera offer for when more reliable recording is needed?
Comment on the forum Let me be clear, it is great Canon thinks video users are important again. Well done Canon for such a comprehensive set of features. Now, as you may have seen earlier, Canon quietly sent EOS R5 overheating test results and timings to UK dealer CVP, who were the only ones to actually mention it in a video.

With reductions from as much as €4320 to just €1590 on the 25mm T2.1 this is quite some sale! Thanks Seb Farges for the heads-up. Schneider’s sale will be running throughout July (ending on the 31st). The lenses are available to fit PL mount, Canon EF and Sony E-mount. Check out the sale here

With the EOS R5 apparently video users are important again, even outside of the Cinema EOS range. But are the flagship 8K RAW and 4K/120p modes of the EOS R5 actually practical to shoot with on a day to day basis?
Comment on the forum With the price of the EOS R5 set at ÂŁ4199 here in the UK, that is firmly pro-territory, but Canon has an enthusiast version too which will be the focus of many at EOSHD. The Canon EOS R6 is a competitor to the Sony A7 III, Panasonic S1 and Nikon Z6. It brings 10bit to the table over the 8bit only Sony & Nikon – and…
Comment on the forum A peerless medium format lens for the size. The images are lucid and autofocus superb on the GFX 100.
