I didnt expect that much difference between the fx9 and the a7s iii. Looks like Sony is holding out again, was kinda hoping they fixed colour as the other specs are minor upgrades.

Yeah I like the nikon colours, but dynamic range is still lacking on nikon cameras (and some usefull features). Maybe they will amaze us with their next camera, but I really doubt it. They have no higher end line to protect, so they could have done this 8 years ago and blew the competition away, but they didnt, so not expecting any miracles from their end.

Aah the R5 hits the shelves tomorrow. So we might get some more tests this weekend.

meh def going the canon EF-RF adapter with builtin ND, if overheating isnt an issue for me.

Does it also overheat during normal working temperatures +- 21°? Cause 90% of the year, I work below that temperature. I cannot cope working in 30° myself anyhows.

The canon R5 manual does state that the camera does not overheat in 4K 30fps (not high quality). Was anybody able to verify this already? As this solves my problem atleast. Also how to record audio on this thing? Like a xlr mkh-416, run it through a zoom h6 and then in the minijack? That is one thing sony did a great job on though with their A7S III and the S1H as well, too bad canon didnt think this through..

I guess Sony gave the camera to the wrong people then. Cause all the footage out there atm is mediocre.

I know I should not compare it to an arri alexa. But dang I just wish these companies could get arri style colour in an affordable package in 2020. The alexa is 10 years old, and these japanese companies dont come anywhere close to its image or colours 10 years later, in tech years thats ages. Sony had great colour on the F35, so not sure why they have not matched it 10 years later.

Yeah would not be surprised if the camera doesnt actually overheat, but canon just programmed it this way to not mess around with their C line. If so magic lantern could perhaps chime in, allthough they havent done anything new in a couple of years.

DR should be tested with the clog3 update. But sony could still have more DR, as that is one area where they are ahead of the competition, so would be surprised if canon out of the blue came up with a new 8K sensor that trumps even sony's sensors.

Hopefully somebody can test the AF with EF lenses.

If a miracle happens and the R5 overheating gets fixed, looks like the R5 is the way to go.

Was just expecting way more. This is just competing with the S1H that is already released a year ago, you would think they would crush the S1H. People are still wondering now if they should get an A7S III or an S1H, then its a sad release for me. Hopefully some good news will follow soon. Looks like the ump 12K is by far the most interesting camera this year (not talking about the resolution).

A7S III is hugely underwhelming for me as well. Only good improvement I see is the XLR addon that you can buy. But waiting on some other footage, as the footage from b&h looks like 720p, so can't derive any IQ from that.

Actually large files (uncompressed) are a lot easier to edit. Its the compressed codecs with smaller files that are hard to edit as your computer needs to decompress them each time.

Good that the menu has somewhat improved. Don't see any anamorphic mode on this either, or its buried in the menu's somewhere. I hope the A7S iii has better IQ then the pocket 6K, cause the S1H did not, the R5 no idea yet.

Yeah but I am afraid I Am not rich enough for Arri stuff 🙂

Well its not the same light, but the skintones on the image on the left do look way better. Ha so confused with the camera options out right now, atleast of of those guys should have a r5, s1h, pocket 6k, f6 to do some side by sides...

This overheating is worse then I expected if you shoot photo's for an hour, you cant shoot any video anymore. Whut. In that case the camera is only for personal clips I guess, lets see how the tilta cooling performs. Anyhows we know the overheating problem is there and it sucks, but can we look into the other features of the camera. Like DR, highlight rolloff, rolling shutting, the ibis wobble. Strange that nobody did some comparison shots yet with other camera's like the S1H, pocket 6K(yes I know not full frame), F6, kinefinity mavo lf, c500 II.

Well another solution is to buy 2 :). As A-cam and B-cam.

I only shoot short clips, 10 second clips. B-roll for corporate video's mainly and social media branding video's. But def want to use it on personal projects as well, and I can also see myself using it for narrative stuff as well like short films. For the last year I have shot nothing else then braw, as its as easy to edit as prores but impossible to miss whitebalance.

well at 12:1 compression not sure how much more data we are talking here vs the pocket 6K's braw.

If this turns out to be true, im ordering one!

Wow if this would come true, this would be the best news this year.

Well we need some side by side videos shot at the same time with the current new cameras so we can compare more efficiently, you really cant compare cameras between different videos.
