1/1.12" is not exactly 1" yet, though wasn't there an actual 1" Sony sensor for smartphone rumored?

With the new 8:1 compressed Raw Lite it need less space and less speedy cfexpress card, it is a a very welcomed update! No need for expensive brand name CFexpress when lessor know brand will work too.

It is way more manageable than the 1:3-1:5 one they used before, I wonder if the other Canon cinema camera and 1DX III will have this new compression in the future? It will make shooting RAW much more tempting for sure.

Having 8:1 also means mostly likely Canon will be the only one beside RED to have full debayed internal compressed RAW due to their cross license agreement.   Something other brands can't do in forseeable future.

Is ISO 800 the native ISO for clog3 on the R5?

It says L(400) if I set the ISO to 400, which makes me think 800 is the lowest native ISO.

So the native ISOs are as follow?

Non-log: 100

Clog2: 400

Clog3: 800

Clog 1 is 400, not sure about clog 2 though.

Being 4:2:2 h.265, I assume that the new codecs are still a PITA to edit? Still need to transcode or use proxies?

I think the new ipb-low is actually less taxing on computer for editing.

Manual focus override not working, hm...

only work for 4 lens atm (70-200 2.8 RF, 100-500, 600, 800), other lens will need to be updated to support it.

That's what I was thinking - about an 8:1 compression. Whatever this compression ratio is, I'd LOVE it if they brought it to 4k in the the C300 III, C200, and any other future 4k raw cameras. 8:1 is sort of the sweet spot for quality and file sizes. For 4k, that would probably be closer o 400-600mbps, which is the same or a bit more than All-I.

The 8k RAW Lite is the same file size as the 8k All-I on the R5, they should definitely do that to their other camera.

Well its a cloudly day though.. probably need to test more extreme condition like indoor with window or sunset, but you can recover more highlight with clog3?

The new lite options seem to greatly reduced the heat build up inside the camera.

This guy recorded 1hr18min of 8k raw lite til battery died

4k120p is still All-I, same for the new FHD 120fps option

But 9k/4k/FHD get new ipb lite is a real good addition!

Can't wait for the new firmware, clog3, cine raw lite, new compression for videos, I wonder is that h.264 10bit 422 or h.265 10bit 420 that most people need for video editing?

And R5C confirmed will be releasing this year, active cooling, unlimited 8k/4k recording and clog 2.

I was browsing on market place and I didn't realise camera is already in the antique section

@ntblowz Nice! Interesting to see the photographer was on a R6. Looks like although its a Canon sponsored event, you were using your own gear? Was the R5/C70 footage shot in standard, log or RAW?

i m on clog 1 ( the only choice on R5) the other guy on c70 use clog2?  Yeah there is a Canon stand which you can borrow gear n lens but i m just using my own 24-105 and 70-300 II on my R5.

I m curious how will it fare vs Samsung's GN2 1/1.12" (0.89") sensor.

Video for the skateboard is out, this one is mixture of C70 and R5 footage.

Stacked sensors means better low light? 

Means faster readout, it is different to BSI tech

Much less rolling shutter I presume?

So DJI is finally jumping on the the fpv wagon, I m definitely tempted as the price is similar to the DIY racing drones here. I thinking buying DJI care is a must with this drone as it is more easier to crash than other dji drones with such high speed. 

How many of you are thinking to get one?

And she is not rich, she also runs into funding problem too like most of us do.

This is actually hilarious.  "Chloe" comes from a rich, well-connected Beijing family; they sent her abroad, to London, for high school.  And the idea that recent film school grads with no credits can raise money as long as they're not Chinese and female, is too ridiculous for words.

Even worse, this guy is bragging that she's doing a Marvel(!) movie.  This, from a director with zero action picture experience.  If not for racism, I guess they would have hired her right out of film school.  Life is so unfair! 

 

I guess the same could be say for Taika Waititi, because he is not white and have no experience in big budget action movie?  Though they both got hired for having the better pitch idea than other directors who applied the job.

Becoming the next Nomadland? 😉

Ran across this article on dp calling out Quentin regarding digital cinema, he and Chole are certainly an interesting pair to look out for.

So you can power the cam a day long with a 20000ma PD Powerbank ?

How do you like the RF 35 on the R5 ?

Gonna be using it tomorrow for a livestreaming samoan/white wedding, there will be lots of performers for the reception from different families. Theoretically 20000mah 3.7v is around 4x more power than 2130mah 7.2v so if 4k last 1.5 hours on battery it should last 6 hours? (could be less due to conversion) 

I like the RF35 for stills, for video I use Sigma 35 1.4 with VND adapter, work really good.

The RF 35 lives on my R6 (as the EF adapter is back-ordered due to the Canon factory fire). I've come to really appreciate this lens as it is quite compact, versatile, sharp, aberration free and has macro & IS. For the price it's killer, I like it so much I'm thinking of adding the RF 85 1.8 Macro IS.

RF 85mm F2 IS is pretty good, I have it and love it! The macro make it a more versatile lens than normal 85mm lens.

Btw if you got powerbank that supply 45W PD it can power the camera without drainig camera battery, but you still need a battery inside the camera.  The R and RP can only be charged (with PD) but not power on.

This will pair up nicely with S5 for sure!

One of my friend is thinking jumping from ursa mini pro/gh5s to fx6/fx3 combo, but prores raw is the biggest downside since he use da vinci exclusively.

Sony NPF-570 is normally around 2200-2600mah, Blackmagic managed to squeeze 3500mah on that form factor! That is 50% more capacity
