I thought camera opinion videos were getting a bit obsessive when that guy a few weeks ago left his kids alone inside the holiday cabin as he couldn't possibly wait another minute to get on the porch and share his thoughts on a camera rumour with the wider world on YouTube but.....
Well, this is on another level.
The moral of the tale is that even when staring down the long tunnel into the abyss he still stands by his decision to buy the Z8.

And this
The main takeaway for me from this yet another launch short is that today you can do anything with any camera as long as you have budget and skill. The quality is very high now. From what you see on this short at the end they didn't even use cinema lenses but all standard Canon stuff
To this if they gave it an FX3, FX5, S5 or an Alexa, the result would be indistinguishable. Bravo to the DoP and the colorist.
The Creator, 100M USD budget shot all with the FX3 studied and designed by Dune DOP Greig Fraser, oscar award winner for Dune, says it all. Then you see the stuff done by Philip Chiesa with a Gh5S and you have further confirmation.
Then of course everyone has their own preferences and fixations but this is the hard and pure reality.
P.S.
A little too orange & teal for my taste. The days of Michael Bay are gone 😄

FX3 can overheat, this guy I know (I shot with him a few time) said his FX3 did overheat on him.
If you search online there are FX3 overheating discussions
https://forum.sony-rumors.com/full-frame-mirrorless-cameras/overheating-issues-and-cooling-solutions-for-the-sony-fx3/
FX30 on the other hand I haven't seen anyone claim their one overheated, me and my friend's FX30 has been pretty rock steady sofar.
So in terms of overheating I think only Panasonic really did some extra miles for their solution.

Very true, well stated : ) Reason why that mention to the FX30 BTW. I've just bought one because seems they have succeeded where others fail.
However, as you said with Panny example and @kye has written, no excuses unless for overcharges with one more accessory to sell like hotdogs, they bet : D

It's insane that the sub 2k S5 ii has a built in fan and this doesn't.

Emanuel reacted to kye in Canon New Product Launch - 17th July 2024
BMMCC has a fan and it was $995 only a few years ago when it went EOL. Plus it is like 30% of the size.
The BM Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 is a current model, which is also $995, and tiny by comparison. It has been used for 24 hour races in ridiculous conditions and performed flawlessly.
No excuses for overheating, except for significant/extreme weather and dust sealing requirements.

Yup, I've just seen it:
Looks like an interesting attempt for issues which made me completely away from the predecessor and Z8 either. So, go imagine how much they have lost with a glass addicted like me... LOL ; )
Here's Gordon's written input, I like this guy because he is oldschool as far as his approach concerns. Who needs any different route? ;- )

As to the question of "how" it will work, I saw earlier that the vents are on the bottom of the camera body and on one of the sides. One would assume that the grip has holes that mate with the holes on the bottom of the camera and the fan accelerates air flow through the camera and over the sensor. This would also explain why it doesn't help a lot in the most demanding modes - it's a pretty clunky way get air over the relevant components.
It still doesn't seem like a cause for the rage that sometimes accompanies recording limits, though. Being able to roll 37 minutes of 8kp30 without a fan and 120+ minutes with one is pretty alright. 4kp60 says 120+ minutes as well without a fan. Seems like a fine mode for long-form interviews, concerts, etc.
If you need to run 8kp60 raw or 4kp120 takes for more than 20 minutes or so, Canon will be glad to let you know that you should choose a different camera for that - like their very own R5C which has a much better cooling system and is available on the used market for more than $1,000 less than this camera. 😅

I agree, on the cameras that have a battery grip I have never taken them off, but for this scenario where I don't want a battery grip for my gimbal camera but I do want it for my photography camera and I also want both to be the same body, then the versatility is great.
I think 4K60FPS is line skipped, and we still have no idea about overheating so there's that. Also, I would bet money my pet peeve is still there....the video tools like the electronic level and WFM disappear while recording...you know...when you need them the most.
Actually, I think it will be pretty effective. The Cinema line all have a similar fan setup and I have never had my C70 or C200 overheat. The way it works in the R5 II is that it has passive cooling vents on the bottom with the exhaust out to the side. If you add a cooling grip it will pull air through the grip, push it through the bottom intake and vent out the side....this is how they managed to keep weather sealing for the actual body but also offer an active cooling option.
For 8K it will still not be enough, but for 4K it should do the trick for most situations. The real question here is will you need it for say a 2hr interview or dance recital or live event when shooting 4K30FPS. My R7 can run unlimited in that scenario at 4K30FPS line skipped. At 4K30FPS oversampled it will overheat in about an hour.

That price difference is absolutely nuts.
The R5 II is objectively worse than a Z8... Not by a lot, but in terms of the overall technology under the hood, the fact it needs a fan, the lack of ProRes and the worse RAW codec, and also the worse lens mount which cannot accept adapters to Sony E-mount - and I am not sure there is a autofocusing Leica M adapter either? Or Super 16mm c-mount? So that for me, is what killed the EOS R3 vs Nikon Z9 and it is same with the new models.
Overheating times don't make for great reading either:
https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canon-eos-r5-ii-initial-review/2
Seems like just the original R5 with a re-worked fan from the EOS R5C in terms of thermals of the processor and sensor.
And what's up with the R1 - for something that has cooked for 3 and a half years longer than a Sony a1, you'd think it would move the bar a lot higher - instead it is a reheated 1D X Mark III!
That for me is a bit of a shocker.
I was expecting something completely new and something which really put the relatively old-ish R3 and Z9 in the shade.
I guess Canon decided that sports photographers didn't want the extra file sizes of 50MP+, so they played it relatively conservatively?

I feel like there's a huge difference between fans that are part of the camera's body (where it gets hottest) and fans that are attached externally to a camera's body. I'm not saying that it won't help, just that it seems inefficient compared to putting active cooling right into the body itself. Certainly for the price I don't see why they couldn't, as I refuse to believe that the extra parts needed would significantly raise manufacturing costs. Panasonic did it for a camera that is half the cost, afterall.

Slow weekend. Watched "Anatomy of a Fall" and "The Zone of Interest" on streaming back-to-back.
Both were nominated for a ton of different awards, including this year's Oscars. Now I understand why.
They are truly fantastic narratives produced in creative poles other than Hollywood.
And yet, I couldn't help but notice that BOTH films feature scenes full of mosquito-noise in the last third of the narrative. You cannot not see it. High contrast scenes in both of them. From extreme shadows to extreme brightness in the same frame. A good amount of time of on-screen mosquito noise, not a second or two.
The director just said to the editor "fuck it, lift the shadows as much as you can and we'll show it that way, with all this digital noise. Who the hell cares".
Just saying guys. Maybe we're just too close to the trees.

I'll be interested to see how the autofocusing works.
I think Panasonic's 1.8 primes are decently priced, as they are better built than their Canon and Sony counterparts, but I also don't think it'd be a bad idea to release more affordable compact primes that are more competitively priced. A third party manufacturer probably shouldn't be the ones releasing a nifty fifty in the sub $200 range when your competitors have ones.
