Gotta admit that AF looks crazy fast (allthough its not a feature I am really interested in)

wtf the R5 is 4.549€ in europe.............................................. I prolly had too much hopes for the R5 (C500 II, C300 III IQ), but I guess I will also have to wait out on the A7S III announcement as well (when is that announcement date?)

didnt like that one either. Where are the beautifull example video's or any real video reviews.

I was hoping the DR would be more then 12 stops, so now lets wait how that highlight rolloff turns out. Waiting on incoming camera comparisons.

I guess it might be a problem for those who shoot events with long speeches/workshops and so on. But I think that very few people need 30min clips. I have never shot a 30min clip in my life (unless maybe an accidental one).

I never returned any product I bought, isnt it a weird way of thinking. Buying something, testing it and if you dont like it return it? What happens to the product, does it get sent back to canon to be inspected and branded refurbished or do they just sent it to somebody new. Strange that this is legal, its like those people buying an expensive dress, go out and return the dress. Sorry for the off topic rant.

Hopefully they will demonstrate side by sides with c300 III and C500 II.

Hope these prices arent true. Thought they said it was below 4000$.

Are these silicon valley quotes? Edit: Ah sorry didnt click on the link 🙂

A great loss, prolly the greatest music film composer ever. wished I could have seen him live once.

As it is even more compressed, wont our pc's struggle even more then h264, h265?

Nah they were paid to do a release video to show when the cameras were released. (At the time I found it strange that they hired Philip Bloom for it as he is more of a docu style shooter, but he pulled it off nicely)

Also curious if it will have any anamorphic recording modes.

Nobody said that he was the only one, but he is at the live event so I think it is safe to asume that at least he got one already. Seem they invested in popular social media figures instead of filmmakers that shoot shortfilms/commercials, or maybe not. We will see. I do miss those years where camera's were given to "Vincent Laforet" for the C300 commercial, or Philip Bloom for the GH3 commercial,... those were the kind of video's that made me want to buy the camera's. (and I did)

I guess Peter Mckinnon will release his review friday. Hopefully he has done some proper testing, allthough he gets payed by Canon, so might be biased.

I wonder how it stacks up against the zcam f8, I liked the color on that on, but DR was not as good as the f6. I really hope canon pushed DR and not only resolution. Otherwise they might have made the wrong decision.

Well I think you can expect it will be not as good as an fx9, and the fx9 doesnt seem to hold up to its competitors at this point.

yeah would love to see a side by side with a pocket. But I guess the current owners from RED komodo's arent allowed to do so right now.

Yeah that would be amazing. Allthough REDcode crops when you use lower resolutions right(it was like that back in the day with the scarlet-x)? But the 8K is my main problem with the R5. 4K would have been plenty.

Autofocus will prolly also be much faster on the R5 then on a A7S III. (when you are adapting EF lenses that is, which is one of the struggles of using adapters, I hear the sigma mc-11 is a bit better then metabones, but not sure if it only applies for sigma lenses or also canon L glass). For video I don't care that much, but for a hybrid camera for photography it is nice to just hand your camera to somebody and let the autofocus do their thing. The times I gave my camera with manual focus to my wife or strangers I always get out of focus shots back even at f5.6.

I am cheering for Canon, I hope the A7S III sucks so I am not tempted to buy it. (I don't want another camera with a E-mount)

Prores raw has the same problem though, you cannot use it in davinci resolve.

Hows that? Why cant other companies implement an fpga? (Kinefinity and zcam should def look into this)

Do you still know the answer, as I just searched the group for 5 minutes. But could only find why its not possible externally(hdmi port is not up for it) and the question exists from the time the e2 4k was released, surely they could have made some technical improvements so it was possible on the s6 and f6.

Just saw a post on there to promote scratch which supports zraw. Zraw is prolly the most useless codec out there right now. They should talk to bm asap and either implement braw or hope bm resolve will include zraw support. They seem to dodge this question. Maybe they already had contact, an open communication on this would be appreciated. Haha yeah I heard a lot of bad posts about the komodo just got deleted. Nah zcam is def more chill then red. You could ask questions to the CEO and he would respond, i dont think I ever saw deleted posts about any zcam.
