So have you actually seen the video from LensRental? They did a teardown of the camera and then put a thermal camera on it without the back which is the more proper way to test for temperature. The camera over heats to the point that you will exceed the maximum temperature limits of different components. Magic Lantern cannot fix a hardware issue. Extending the time limit by getting around Canon's poor lock security will damage the camera.
The only heat issue I see is the CF card getting hot enough to potentially harm someone when handling it(there's regulations for this type of stuff). As noted in the article, the EXIF reported a peak of around 63c, and they didn't observe any components reaching such temperature. The hottest spot was the CF slot after the update, it hit 57c and the card was 52c. The sensor was 48c.

I'm sure it's been tried before, but I wonder if the memory clearing trick from the 5D works. Pulling the battery, turning on the camera and hold down the trigger for a second. With any luck, some sort of memory trick might defeat the waiting period if the camera is at a reasonable temp.

Every conservative I know thinks climate change is real, we just realize that China and India produce 100's of times more carbon than the US. Maybe the reason why the American south is so poor is because the richest area in the country is washington D.C. Bernie Sanders has never had a real job but he's worth over 6 million?
Sorry, but you have cabon emission confused with particulate matter emission. The United States produces around twice the amount of carbon emissions as India and around China produces around 3 times the carbon emissions as we do. Per capita, China's carbon emissions is about on par with the United States, India's per capita carbon emission is significantly lower than the United States.
When it comes to particulate matter emission, India and China is still producing magnitudes of PM more than the US, even on a per capita basis. Today's clean burning diesels(even the cheating VW diesels) produce around 100 than the tier 1 emission compliant engines of a decade or so ago. The carbon emission output has remained almost the same despite the massive reduction in PM. That's why the air quality in the US has made incredible improvements over the last half century, but carbon emission rates have hardly changed.

What was up with some of the sites saying there was around a 500 dollar price drop on the P6K and then deleting the articles?
The text still populates in a Google search description for Cinema 5D, but they deleted the article.
QuoteBMPCC 6K Price Dropped By $499 | cinema5D
A surprise move by Blackmagic Design, you can now pick up the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K from B&H for less than $2000! Just as IBC 2019 is about to kick off, you can pick up this sweet deal on the hotly rated Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, now for less than $2000.00 from
New Shooter was reporting the same thing.

In somewhat of a shock, Blackmagic has dropped the price on several of their cameras just ahead of IBC. The price of the BMPCC 6K has ...

The phrase over promise and under deliver exists for a reason. I've learned to take "future updates" as a grain of salt. Until it's being delivered, it might just be vaporware. And it's vaporware that can drive up stock prices temporarily for a small win.
Examples:
- CANIKON Adapter
- Android updates for Moto phones
- Half of the promises that Elon Musk makes

I've been sticking with Canon mainly for two reasons: 35mm F1.4L & 50mm F1.2L.
I love the 5D series, mark 1 being my favorite mojo wise for stills & 5D2/5D3 for ML Raw.
1DC/1DX2 are also DSLR beasts.
The EOS R is still my favorite mirrorless, despite all its limitations. It's a baby C200.
That said, for my next "big cam" I will be skipping C200 and probably going for an FS7. Just so much more bang for the buck.
I just picked up the R as a new primary photography and am pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy shooting video with it. I was shooting photos and videos for a PSA this morning and never felt the need to pull the GH5 out of the backpack. I was shooting hand held and can tell the footage isn't as clean as the GH5, but our social media manager and creative director gave it the thumbs up.
I'm now debating if I'll buy an EOS R to replace my 5D for personal use, or wait until the next iteration.

*Some* of them do. There are two types of engineers, those called "engineers" and those who are professionals. A lot of people have "engineer" as part of their job title when they are not actually engineers professionally (they are really technicians, which is at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to pay). Real engineers get paid considerably more than technical service people. Sort of like how blue collar people are called "middle class", when the actual middle class are professionals and wealthy merchants, such as lawyers, bankers and entrepreneurs (basically anyone with the resources of nobility but not of noble birth). Or physicians being called "doctors" when they are nothing of the sort (real doctors are people who have a PhD degree, which is an old qualification that existed hundreds of years before physicians began calling themselves doctors) and are not academically entitled to the honorific.
You don't need to incur massive student loan debt. A lot of it depends on the choices you make when going to school and the level of costs you assume doing so. Also, most of the people who generate huge student debt that they can't easily repay are folk who have studied things that do not translate readily into marketable skills, such as liberal arts and such. Or they have gone to snob schools on the belief that alone will get them in the door when it comes to finding a job (which mostly does not happen - capable students can go to any school and their overall prospects remain the same). They are "educated", but that education is not worth anything, so when it comes to repaying the cost of that education they do not have the means to do it.
Most of the engineers I'm speaking of are ones who passed the PE, not some liberal arts major with a job title. The job market is saturated with engineers coming out of college, but the trades are in high demand with few applicants(mainly due to the death of votech during high school).
With that said, I know a few engineers who broke 6 figure, but I know just as many heavy equipment techs and crane riggers that broke 6 figure. And most of the sparkies are making around 80k.

The US has transitioned very successfully to a services based economy. I don't understand why so many Americans want the polluting labour intensive factories back and to plunder the land for massive amounts of raw material.
This is because skilled trade work pays well. The machinists, service technicians, welders and electricians make more than the engineers. Unlike the engineers, they aren't up to their eyeballs in debt with student loans(they get payed to learn). Value needs to be created and sold to support the service industries that don't pay nearly as well(besides banks)as the industrial services.

What does Arm holdings have that is US origin though?
Europe needs to step up and stop this nonsense.
Per the article:
Although not a US-company, ARM’s technology is based on RISC chip designs and an array of US-origin technology. Therefore legally, it has no choice but to comply with the US Entity List that prevents companies trading US technology with blacklisted Chinese organisations like Huawei.

I assume they would keep the internal bit rate low enough and make sure the cam doesn't become Netflix approved. It would make sense to release a camera that blows the doors off the competition, but still give a few reasons for high end productions to stick with the FS series.

The Z6 I've got on order at work should be here this week. I'll be happy to report back what I notice between it and the GH5 I use for videos.
The Z6 will be my new primary hybrid shooter, I expect the GH5 to be my preferred video shooter. I'm really curious to see how the Z6 grades against the GH5, I've had few issues taking care of mixed lighting issues with the GH5's 8 bit. Anything that is too much of an issue usually results in the dust being wiped off the 5D and bringing in some ML RAW.

Okay great - will do some research but if you have some brands that have done particularly well, would love to know which ones.
I'll look and see too. I know for power tool batteries, everyone uses Samsung 18650 cells and you'd be crazy to spend the extra 50-75 bucks on name brand. I'm not sure if camera batteries also use standard cells that all come out of the same part bins or not.

Yeah crop doesn't really have to do with processing power, more so that Canon does 1:1 4K readouts no?
Maybe some math expert can predict the crop now that we have final sensor specs?
6240(listed pixel width)/3840(UHD, I didn't see a 4K option) = 1.625.
If the specs are correct, it should be almost identical to Canon APS C.
3 minutes ago, currensheldon said:From my experience, off-brand LP-E6s seem to last about 60% the time of the Canon batteries. Same for the LPE17s? Or do other manufacturer's batteries do a bit better?
Depends on the manufacture. I've had some off brand LP-E6 outperform the Canon battery and some that sucked.

What battery will it be using? A new model?
LPE17. Specs rate the battery life to be 250 pics and 240 pics at zero degrees science. Real world usage might be a little lower. It's the same battery for the smaller cameras and the Rebel, starting with the T6i. Fortunately, there's plenty of aftermarket batteries available. A double charger and 2 batteries can be had for 20 bucks(freedom dollars, not the pounds).

If it doesn't have the processing power for 4K FF like the EOS R, I expect the crop to be the same or potentially more.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's physically possible to crop the 4K more on that sensor, unless if they're calling 3.5K 4K.

hmmm, no news on the crop?
I would assume it's there and take it as a pleasant surprise if it's not cropped. It'd probably be a slightly tighter crop than APSC or however the math adds up for this sensor.
17 minutes ago, Mako Sports said:If its a consumer grade camera that seems fair? Kinda strange to omit 30fps as I know a lot of normal consumers prefer it to 24p
I agree. I was wondering if there's potential for it in the US market. However, I believe my GX85 also might be limited to 24/25.

8 bit out, 4k 120mbps h.264, no C-log.
EOS RP Specifications (5).xlsx
It does have timelapse 4K at up to 29.97/30 fps. 4K video is listed for 24 and 25 fps, don't see 30 fps.

Or get a tripod?!
No C-LOG no problem.
I've been using my own EOSHD C-LOG for years and works perfectly on the non-C-LOG Canons.
A tripod would work well if most of the environments I film in would allow me to carry one around with me. Sadly, I don't have that luxury. In the meantime, I need to settle with a decent hybrid shooter that has IBIS.

If you were Sony, would you unleash all of this tech in the next A7s? I don't think so...
I think they would, given that consumers in some areas are going to want to put up content on their 8K TVs, even if it's more of a gimmick. It'll also serve as a taste of what's to come for larger cameras. It might not have the fancy color science, but it'd be a perfect way to showcase the new codec.

I hope they allow a video mode for the full 3:2 sensor. We've lately been producing content that has to be viewed both at 16:9, 1:1 and vertical.

Maxotics, that just looks like bayer artifacts. Try using a few different debayer tools and make sure sharpening isn't cranked up.

It's important to remember that this is a weird year for electronics, there's hope that this may only be a result of the shortages.
The wafer shortages, and even shortages related to resins(thanks, Texas freeze), is forcing companies to make changes in order to be able to produce a product. Examples: Intel stepping to old wafer technology, auto manufactures removing features and shutting down lines to protect the bread winners, inability to even spec out 4k screens in most of Dell's laptops, etc.
