On the 5th day of the month that the dark side of the moon becomes visible for first time and Jupiter turns blue. Good question! What was wrong with a 6K full frame Sony!?

Haha it's such a ridiculous year. Not just a strange day! I have absolutely zero use for the 12K URSA. Why on earth didn't they get the Pocket Pro with full frame Sigma Fp sensor and internal BRAW out instead? I am pretty sure they still have one up their sleeve. Correct me if I'm wrong but the 4K RAW is from an enormous S16 crop... 2.8x crop factor! There is no S35 4K mode is there?

https://www.eoshd.com/news/blackmagic-casually-announces-12k-ursa-mini-pro-camera/ https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicursaminipro Oh no! The megapixel race has come to cinema. $10,000 with an 80 megapixel Super 35mm sensor, the new URSA Mini Pro shoots 12K BRAW. The technology in this camera is practically unheard of.

Multiple elements are coated not just the front. So you'd have to do a complete disassembly. Not practical as a DIY jobby!

He's the kind of guy who if he walked into the local pub in Manchester, everyone would be thinking "who the fuck does he think he is" The sheer ego of this kind of American always amazes me. Just tone it down. Toneh it down. Go and pet a baby deer.

The overheating is what it is, and very disappointing. I suppose we'll have to move on from it at some point and look at what it does offer when it is actually operating! I am excited for the 4K/120p, although it is pixel binned and Sony A7S III will be full pixel readout. So that might be the better option for 120fps. I am excited for the 8K RAW for very short bursts or very short shoots. First 8K camera and could be interesting if they fix the compression. 3:1 is not enough in 8K RAW, we need to go further! Phone RED again and buy some more patents! Swap your mount! Even better steal their codec! As for the 8K oversampled 4K I think it's the most interesting mode in the camera. The pixel binned 4K/24p and 60p are there too when you need the longer recording times or the weather is hot. It's not a dead loss of a camera.

The cheek of tagging it "Breaking news" in the thumbnail. Can you imagine the BBC being 7 days late to a major news event and suddenly claiming a scoop! It's that ridiculous. But anything goes on the internet and people seem to fall for it hook line and sinker. The last video was called "THE TRUTH about overheating" - where he called the facts speculation. Not much truth in that. And now the latest one is the BREAKING NEWS. Not a single comment calling him out for his bullshit. Why do I get so much agro but the idiots get off free?

Most recent manual focus full frame film below, tiny crew, basically one DP. I get what you're saying - AF makes things easily for a single operator. But there are now a number of very high profile feature films with a single camera operator (even Oscar nominated) shot on small manual focus cameras like the GH2, 5D 3, and in similar manner to Sigma Fp in Sin-sin for instance (GH2 sometimes at F0.95 no less). Not only are they artistically a successful cinematic achievement, the smaller camera and more direct hands-on control for the director and cinematographer was the primary reason for getting away from ARRI or a RED. AF also has a tendency to do what the machine wants, rather than the human. No AF is bullet proof. If it wonders off, that's the entire take ruined and you have to go again without any guarantees it will be better.

I know all that but I only mentioned it to prove you wrong. You said you need to use a dedicated video camera to avoid overheating. I rest my case.

Bride: "I would prefer it if you used a Nikon D850"

Get a Nikon D850?

This is a good post. CFExpress cards do get very hot to the touch. So not surprising to see that they have built in overheating protection. However the EOS R5 is not alone in overheating. Other cameras without CFExpress do too. And other cameras with CFExpress do not (1D X III). So the main factor is not CFExpress. I think CFExpress probably does contribute some heat into the innards of the EOS R5 and makes the problem a bit worse. But the main problem is always going to be the throttling of the CPU. Just like in your laptop when it's over the thermal limits. In place of the CFExpress card slot on the EOS R5 should have been a passive heat sink like the Sigma Fp. And the CFExpress card slot should have its own tiny heatsink like M.2 SSD drives do in a PC. A bit of a re-design would be required, but it could all still fit into a mirrorless camera body the size of the EOS R5. They just haven't been proactive enough in wanting a solution. They know that pros should get a Cinema EOS camera, and they want to keep it that way.

ARRI Alexa LF users would disagree.

A small Aussie bird told me: Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro with full frame sensor may be announced https://www.eoshd.com/news/rumour-blackmagic-pocket-6k-pro-with-full-frame-sensor-may-be-announced/ Take this as a rumour. 8/10 sure about the source. 👍

The initial information was official as well. It was never a pre-production issue that would go away in the retail box camera. That's the Jared Polin line. We don't need another thread with the same topic as the others so this one is being binned.

Alright Toneh? Alright our kid. Wanna go down Market street and score some cameras? Yeah mint. See ya later Toneh.

Surprisingly the original Canon engineer meme garnered over 100,000 views. YouTube audience know high quality content when they see it!

The front page of EOSHD now has several of my shitposts on it https://www.eoshd.com/opinion/sony-announces-new-rumour-camera-yours-for-just-4000/ I sincerely hope nobody reads them! The EOS R5 may indeed be fake. Nobody has actually done a side by side comparison yet! The A7S III does however exist as the infamous Sony Rumours Camera Model 3 4K 120 GRAIL. Even the lambasted Sony menus have all been overhauled to resemble 12 pages of DPReview interviews with powerful Sony executives. The Creative Styles menu now has seven pages of arguments under it about Sony skin-tones and if you select the Sony Alpha Rumors mode the feed from the sensor speeds up and shoots a burst of 200 clickbait rumours onto CFExpress. Instead of a user manual it ships with so many online shopping codes that buying the Sony Alpha Rumour Mark III Filmmaker's Kit will save you $50 on the cost of Sandisk CFExpress cards* *You will need $5000 of them to store 12 rumours

So upset he didn't get a camera, he had to take a cold shower!

Non-jokes will be moderated

S35 sensor does go well in a M43 mount as JVC showed. Blackmagic have such great innards. It is time to step up the game and put them in a camera body worthy of the image, sensor, codec, and touchscreen UI. A $2500 Pocket camera with EVF and IBIS would be a roaring success.

8000 cats, no wonder the EOS R5 pet detection is overheating

Tony & Chelsea subscribers are serious about photography? 😂 That's like saying the 43rumors comments section is full of artists.

EF mount too big for Micro camera. 44mm flange. Hopefully if they have any sense it will be a micro camera with E mount!
