@zerocool22 I get where you are coming from but at the same time this place is not some scripted production where there is an announcement, everybody gets to make one comment and then it’s topic closed.

It’s a forum where people talk. Talk a load of shit half the time, good and bad, but that’s the nature of this beast.

Also, it is an evolving story and the info comes in bit by bit.

Many of us have too much time right now so there’s even more chatter.

To conclude, political talk etc can be (rightly in my opinion) banned, but where do you draw the line on talking about the current err...appropriately titled, ‘hot topic’ of latest camera news in the camera area of a forum?!

 

The way I see it, this forum has played a major role in how huge hybrid cameras have become for actual filmmaking. That happened because Andrew and others were finding workarounds and solutions to these small cameras most Pros would never use on paid productions. Yeah theres always gonna be opposing views, and brand favorites but it's easy to recognize a hater.

That Nezza is talking more about "Canboys" than the R5 itself... LOL

Actually in this case yes....I do think absolutely no one should buy the R5 and the R6..want to know why? Because every single buyer of these two cameras proves to Canon that they can get away with selling a camera that is unfit for purpose. So as long as buyers keep rewarding Canon for putting out products that are unfit for purpose guess what Canon is going to keep doing? 

Canon IMO is closer than anyone else to creating the perfect hybrid camera (AF, Color Science, ecosystem, lenses, form factor, etc.), unless people vote with their wallets they have no incentive to change that last 10%.

 You and everyone else interested in buying new cameras has the right to choose whether to buy or not... Tech discussions are cool, but the whining, and negativity is played out. The hottest topic on this board is the R5 and its funny that some are here whining daily, repeating the same reasons to avoid buying the camera over and over again like most don't already know about the issues, and a few others are open to workarounds and getting called canboys just for looking for solutions to the issues. Super silly, and shouldn't be that serious. Buy it or don't buy it! I'm not into the "lets get together and hold Canon accountable for not giving us that last 10% they have been holding out on us" Why? because we don't have to buy it... and I'm certainly not mad at those who want to love it... Much more important things to get worked up for in the world today than 4K HQ and 4K 120 continuous recording.

I get the backlash for the R5 and R6 overheating, but we all know what it is at this point until Canon changes things. To have the proud polar opposites of "fanboys" and so-called "canboys" posting around the clock about the "Fanboys" and so-called "canboys" seems like some hater shit. It is corny asf really.  Nobody has to buy the R5, and if you didn't pre-order it you don't have to worry about the shortcomings of the camera.  Mad about someones willingness to use a camera they paid for with their own money. LOL

Has the Ninja V prores raw update been released for the GFX100 yet? Hadn't heard or seen anything  new on it.

So what would be the smallest best rig setup for the canon r5 + ninja 5(or alternative) + dummy battery? How to power this thing and where to place it all. I dont like mounting and demounting everything everytime I take the camera out. So a rig that allows it to put it in a bag without demounting anything? 

Allthough while typing I realised for gymbal shots you would need to demount this thing, which is a letdown.  

You do not have to run a dummy battery. The workaround seems to be not having a card in camera, while you can still use the LP-E6NH batteries in cam.

R5 can be used in a weeding as the C camera, probably B, but I am sure that guy will bring at least two more bodies, and use the R5 for 60p and probably 120p for very short seconds, that will add something that probably he is already missing in their current gear.

The 'Enginnerring Filmaker' guy seems to be determined to find out...  I guess we'll see.

Buggy as hell. Canon releasing defective beta products and charging you full price.

Disgraceful behaviour.

Heres another guy claiming he ran externally (Blackmagic Video Assist) without card in camera until batteries died @ 2 hours.

So this seems to be related to having the card in camera.

I like the look of the patent concept images minus what looks to be fixed lens... already have RF glass, so if it's RF mount I'm down.

NFS has a fairly detailed overheat test in various modes. No link as their are not Andrew's friends. 

I saw a NFS video where they went through the modes, showing short clips but hadn't seen an overheating test.  I'll check it out.

didnt realize someone already posted images. Edited

Secure views by any means necessary... since when did Leaf blowers start blowing cool air?

We've seen videos with refrigerators, and now a leaf blower... Am I naive to think Canon would respond in some way after a couple days of this?

I mean they really sent out production model R5's to youtubers like this was all a non-issue, like their disclosed time limitations were simply advisory to prevent overheating.

Precision Camera out of Texas with the R5 @ 03:32 talks about over heating... it's obviously hot, he says it didn't shut off but theyre obviously going to try and maintain those pre-orders so who knows.

Another guy/church group with feedback on their time with the R6. @ 05:31 talks about their experience with overheating.  ( indoors )

+ You can shoot upper 20 mins 4K, then overheats but the issue is the amount time you have to let it cool down is considerable (one guy stuck it in a fridge - maybe Canon's solution is too bundle it with a small portable one)

Sad thing is, he put in a fridge and it didn't make much of difference. After he took it from the fridge it didn't last long.

LOL Safe bet that Behiri's response to this would be: Chris and Jordan are just testers, what do they know about real film making?
