    Little Photoshop size comparison between this and the S1H. Quite smaller !

    S5-S1H.jpg

    I just don't understand why no one does camera strap holders recessed like canon. I never use camera strap and those holders can become quite uncomfortable sometimes. Other than that seems really a nice camera. I wish it would be less sharp edgy and less retro style but it is nice nevertheless.

  2. Canon must, at the very least, give us an unlimited 4k 60p crop mode in a firmware update as well as remove the stupid  30min recording cap. I wouldn't mind using this camera in S35 oversampled mode for video. Even for Stills, in some situations, the 20Mpix crop mode would be more thant enough for me and even more convenient sometimes. With EF lenses and speedbooster it would even be possible to have a full frame field of view and depth of field  video and photo camera with 20mpix photos. Well,  A X-t4 is more  than that for a lot less.  Bad ergonomics though and far less effective AF as far as I have seen. The 120p 4k mode could be limited to 2min clips for me but the recovery time would have to be no more than 5 min. 8k I consider a photo mode. Too limited to be considered a true video mode. 

    The R6 seems even more crippled as the downsample and data rates seams easier handle. This one needs an unlimited mode.

    I probably shouldn't say anything but I will...I too would prefer IBIS over GS if I had to pick. My reasoning is simple...fewer non videographers will notice slightly wavy lines in the video footage; everyone will notice jittery footage that could have been fixed by IBIS. I shoot handheld quite often when the gimbal is just too much of a hassle to lug along on parts of the shoot and I'm more likely to need the IBIS than I am to need to film fast moving action. The nice thing about IBIS as well is you can always turn it off (in most cameras) if it is not working for you. Doesn't fix rolling shutter, but it is another option with an IBIS equipped camera.

    One thing I would be curious about however....is if in post it is easer to stabilize unstable IBIS footage vs shaky GS footage.  I would think it would be easier to stabilize GS footage but that's just a guess. I've never owned a camera with a GS so I have no way to test my theory.

    Ibis is not the only way of stabilising your footage. Lens IS , gimbal, weight, software all help also and can be done with the komodo I guess. Last gen lens is as good if not better than sony ibis imho. Depends on focal lengths though. Rolling shutter gello is har to fix. Might be impossible  sometimes. This camera removes this normally nasty effect.

  4. I would add that global shutter is a different creative tool that this camera enables. No matter how small rolling shutter is, you feel it. Seeing this clips made me remind some Jonas Mekas's footage where shake was part of the equation and never a problem. With rolling shutter, his movies would get you sick for sure.

    Well even at 1080p the R5 is possibly the best mirrorless camera out there if it does not overheat and you dont need 4K. There are a lot more important factors (DR, color, ...) to camera then resolution (for me its the least important, well it needs to be good 1080p though).   But time will tell, too soon to jump on the R5 wagon as it might derail. 

    I'm yet to see the 1080p R5 footage in detail. But normally Canon 1080p struggles with aliasing, over-sharpening, low detail in dark areas. 5ds image was one of the best Canon. But not on par with A7s line and GH5. Wins on color, roll-off,  etc though, IMHO

    Might be planning to get one next year with my friend, we got a punch of Canon batteries (it share the same battery as c100), many ef lens, got RF VND adapter and Cfast cards so not going to cost us much except getting the sdi monitor.

    I'm impressed with this footage.  Global shutter? Now that's awesome.

    What does everyone think?  Is this going to be affordable ?

     

    Color, aliasing free, motion cadence, smoothness. incredible. That's where the money is atm. 4K , 6k, 8k are worthless without those.

    Saw it from canonrumors

    If true is surprising to see that the canon R6 manages to have high quality video recorded to external device for long periods in that 4K 24 version.  The R5 doesn't have any oversampled mode that manages that, in full frame. The R6 with a external recorder manages 4k24 long interviews and concerts it seems, with high quality. 

    What's the smallest 4k recorder atm?

  8. If they used the full bayer pixels for stills ou made some pixel shifting possible to increase resolution this would be close to perfect camera spec wise. Color and image feel is still to be seen. Very important also.

    They still have the market when it comes to lenses but still 

     I think they are still focused in stills. That's why MP count and autofocus are improved. Good quality Hybrid cameras is a market that Canon has yet to understand.  

  10. 24p is not that important to me as i live in a PAL country and don't do feature films. Use 25p all the time. But this are the first 4k Canon cameras which image quality video is really lacking. EOS M50 and EOS R are capable of producing very nice creamy image despite the crop. This ones seem to suffer from the poor upscaling. This way there's no point shooting with a Canon any more.

    How is the 1080p compared to the sl2 or 70d?  Is it really that bad?  

    The 1080p is good although it has some moire which for me makes it unusable . It's very hard to find a good camera with solid 1080p, other than A7S or GH4/5. I would prefer a softer 1080p without moiré or false color. Those are quite distracting.

    In 4k it was sharper but still below the c100s hd

    Not true

    I saw a video that was posted by Wex Photo Video and was seriously impressed. I think we have finally made it to true 14 stop mirrorless cameras (in video). The "Varicam Look" is starting to grow on me as well. ?

     Read an article on Newshooter "Panasonic told us at Cinegear that their strategy is to unify the Varicam, EVA1, and Lumix divisions and try and bring them all closer together."

    I find the color grading quite terrible. Look at the clouds and the magenta tint everywhere.

    Magenta in the WEX video 100% a result of their grade. Aggressive NR is = YouTube's compression.

    So here are some ORIGINAL files to play with straight off my card. 1.4GB's worth.

    https://we.tl/t-rELYefyjCr

    These are 10bit 422 V-LOG / V-Gamut on default settings. I recommend avoiding VLC Player to look at these especially on a Mac. Messes up the gamma curve. They won't play in Quicktime either. Pop em in Resolve or your NLE of choice and give them a good LUT. I used Fuji's F-LOG to Eterna BT709 LUT which worked well and built in Premiere Arri Amira LUT in Premiere was a good match.

    Lens: Nikon 55mm F1.2 AI with variable ND filter

    Just watched them with Potplayer (Windows) and the footage is very pleasant and silky.  Color is hard to say without grading. Nice to see this move away from the over detailed Sony kind of image.

    Anything's possible, let's see how it progresses. Still early days yet but I have Magic Lantern up and running on my M50 with a few modules... no RAW video module yet but should only be a matter of time now!

    Hello Andrew,

    which modules are working?

    Normal stuff like zebras, iso and wb control are already working? That would be amazing by itself. I find it to be a very nice camera. Has some character with the right picture profile.
