Sweet camera .... add an external EVF and you smoke the C200/C300II

Canon Raw has the option to decode in Canon Raw Developer or Davinci Resolve Studio based on Clog 2 or 3 ... just need to expose with that in mind.

Moc Nguyen always seems to get the best out of the R5:
Is this getting closer to the 1DX III image quality? I think it is still a step below in terms of DR and creaminess.

Why stop there 12.5k raw 😭😂

Well if there is any Canon reps or ambassadors will 1DX mark iii get Clog 3?
That brick can handle more heat than R5 🤣 i want 4k120p 

Ive read Canon is releasing firmware update for R5 that would add C-Log 3 14stops, i think Canon did this move after reading Sony rumours 😄oh boy exiting month i cant wait for tuesday.

8K RAW frame grab, shot with animal eye AF.

I’m excited - got my camera cage sorted and ready to go! 
 

Whos exited ? Am fot sure 15stops of dynamic range and 10bit  for Sony is huge.

ANALYSIS
The new sensor technology that allows you to shoot at lower resolutions for higher framerates is arguably the most important aspect of this camera. That and...price. There's really no reason to be in a RED at this point in time. I guess if you hated money you would stick with them? I'm scrambling to find one area that RED would beat BM in and I can't think of one. It was always codec but we might just be there with the release of this new version of Blackmagics Color. Add in the full ecosystem compatibility with Resolve and the fact that it's almost 3x the price. Seriously, if Blackmagic wanted to make a dent on the high end I think they just blew it up. RED is going to have to innovate AND lower their prices (drastically) just to be competitive again. You will have outliers and people that stay loyal to the brand for whatever reason...but if you're unbiased and just looking to make the right purchase, I don't see how RED makes any sense. As of today at least.
Seriously a crazy release and few days here. I don't know if I have ever pre-ordered>cancelled pre-order>pre-ordered new camera in a 48 hour window before. 

Announcing the new BlackMagic P8K - FF - 8k30 6k60 4k120 RAW- 15 stops of DR - $3000 with Resolve.
I'm probably way off, but that's the trajectory they're on!

I just want to tie him to a chair, get out the hair clippers and have at it.
Maybe make a YouTube video about it...

Long time member, infrequent communicator here.
I got into it a bit with Mr. Reid the other day for the first time. After discussing it with him privately, I found that he and I were much more similar in our views than I first thought. He and I both just had bad days...on the same day. So that got me thinking...I spend time here, it has been a resource for me in the past (whether educational or casual reading/browsing). I think it's easy to take a site like this for granted. We tend to just assume there's a team or that it is all automated. It's not, it's one guy and it takes time from his day and other things.
So, I wanted to do an AMA and get to know him a bit more. I will start it off. Please post questions in bold + italic and tag "@Andrew Reid".
@Andrew Reid What art form interests you the most outside of film? Also...what is your favorite CURRENT local restaurant (no chains)?
PS...I know Andrew is too humble to make this sticky or pin it. But I think it should be. If it is sticky or pinned it's because I'm requesting it. 
I think it would be good for the health of the site for people to have a better sense of who is behind it. It would add a personality that would make things more civil and you would probably notice that you don't get stressed as much. 🙂 

I could buy one its own plane ticket to the UK, have it accompanied by a minder in seat next to it, buy a fire extinguisher just to be safe and still save £500 on the shop retail price 🙂

Top Gear and The Grand Tour - two of the biggest TV shows on the planet, use a GH4 / GH5 inside vehicles.

No anamorphic but the image may stretch if you reach 30 degrees C!

Maybe Canon will come out with an ice pack option:

Okay, too bad, not buying this camera. Why offer 8K if it's overheating and creating storage issues that force me to throw away source data?
Why didn't they license ProRES or BRAW? 
It's like building a Tesla with a huge battery and amazing performance, but then equip it with 1" tires.

This is such bargain of price compared to 1dxmiii
Gona preorder this after my credit card gets cleared 😅
Meanwhile i have this coming 😁
Aputure300x  baby finally proper light.
 

Everyone is lining up to buy the camera purely based on specs. There are so many intangibles yet to be learned:
Rolling Shutter Dynamic Range Highlight Roll-off Detail in the shadows (Are the blacks crushed?) Flavor of CLOG How strong is the low pass filter (Maybe great for skin, but maybe not so good for when you need detail.)? ISO limitations before noise becomes a factor (Especially important when shooting at high frame rates like 120p) Record length limitations I really hope this camera is as good as it looks on paper. I want one if the quality of the footage is there! But what happened to the Canon cripple hammer? Is it gone or does it still exist.
 
 

Hope a firmware update will clear up the menu on the 1DX III ... this one is much cleaner.

Hmm...must be a bug! Canon 1DX Markiii films everything in 10bit 4:2:2 regardless of resolution from hd to 4k (Log must be enabled) in mov container H265.
Maybe the files you got are 8bit 4:2:0 Is the image flat looking? I cannot test it as i cancelled my adobe sub, dm me i will send u some clips of 120p 4:2:2 😊
