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 think nobody on here was shouting I need 8K or 12K. I think we had several discussions in the past that even 4K is overkill(def for delivery). Even the holy grail of digital camera's the arri alexa only shoots full hd/2K and a lof of the best looking movies and commercials were shot on that and still are getting shot on that.

Yeah did kinda like this footage, nothing mind blowing but looks like stup up from mirrorless and dslr's type camera's. And I did not like the first footage that was released of the komodo, the dynamic range looked kinda low at the first video's, but just also saw that comparision video with the pocket 6K and it has similar DR to the pocket 6K, highlight rolloff is nicer though so it might have a stop over the pocket 6K. So this might have my interest again also. Waiting on some more comparison video's and actual commercials shot with it.

Well 1080p is all I need anyways, if it looks great. So if the 1080p does not overheat the R5 is back on the table for me. I can allways use the bigger resolutions for special occasions, but honestly for these corporate interview + broll is plenty...

Nah John Brawley said bm told him full frame is too expensive atm. There are a lot of ff sensors that dont pass QC, so 70% of those sensors are getting tossed away. So they are not profitable atm. So I would not expect one anytime soon.

Great news, now canon cant ignore the videoshooters anymore. I guess they will have to try to fix it or release a new camera(faster then normal).

I would if it didnt have this horrendous crop and low DR. + now I get superb AF and ibis.

What about 1080p though, does it overheat also, hows that quality? The overheating tests are allways at 8k or 4k and slowmotion modes, but I really never need 4k.

How is the AF with canon EF lenses on the S1H? As for video AF is overrated, but for photography it is kinda important.

Btw I read in a previous post about the canon RF cooling adapter. Found some article about it ==> https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/canon-designs-additional-adapter-to-fix-canon-eos-r5-overheating-issue-1705356-2020-07-28

Quote from Clermond on dvxuser: I was in the field for about 1.5hrs at about 37°C. The camera was in the very hot car before. My iPad case melted on the dashbord. I was shooting 4K25 HQ and 4K50 HQ. 28 clips from 30sec to 3mins, 125GB in total. The only thing that overheated was I myself. The CFexpress card was very hot when I out it out. I just checked some files mostly for focus. I really like what I see. 19hrs on the feet. Time for some sleep.

What if the R5 did not overheat would you still go the A7S III route?

This does remind me back of the beginning of dslr's (5d ii, 7d, 550d) where we had to transcode all our h264 footage to prores, as editing systems back in the day could not edit h264 efficiently. 10 years later and canon does the same thing once again.

Yeah besides overheating thats the mainproblem with the R5 and A7S III, the ump braw 12K clips even edit easier then 4k h265 clips. I want a hybrid though, otherwise I would have stuck to bm or zcam.

Hopefully the used prices will drop to 2500€ soon due to the A7S III and R5. Then I might snatch one up. But I dont think the S1H was overly popular, and didnt sell to the masses for some reason. I only know one guy who owns one.

What about editing, the R5 is horrible to edit at this point, havent tried the A7S III, but guess it wont be sweet. But what about editing S1H files, are they smooth to edit? I dont want to mess around with proxies.

Yeah my mistake DR seems to be pretty good. Prores raw is something I cannot use though as Resolve does not support it + I dont like external recorders. Bm has got us spoiled. Hoping they release a new camera as well pretty soon and trump all competition.

How come the R5 looks cropped? Is there a crop on the full frame? Or did they use a longer focal length?

Is there a link to that footage, would like to see if it is usable.

November, what the... I want a camera lying around on my desk asap...

thats very interesting, I wonder if there can be DIY solutions then. Like the hinge door on the pocket camera's. Very lame of Canon offcourse, not sure what they will do next. If they didnt do it for the R5, I dont think they will release a mirrorless camera in the few coming years that doesnt overheat.

I even saw a guy taking an F65 apart and cutting pieces out to downsize the damn thing 😄

he did change that in his second test though. gave it another 5 minutes or so.

Just talking IQ here.

Oh and I would like to see a side by side with 5d iii ML RAW. As I guess it solves my issues with the 5d iii, but hoping IQ is as nice.
