I've shot plenty of interviews with non AF cameras and they are a doddle for this lack of feature.  I've never had focus issues even with shallow depth of field.  They're not leaping about the room.  

For other situations like moving people, AF is very useful.  For interviews.  No.  Even if I had it, I would disable it.  I've yet to see an AF that is fool proof.

Looks like you only interview people in a chair, in my case the most interesting is to interview people meanwhile they are doing something, moving around, the AF is really very helpful, of course all depends of your shooting stile, anyway, this new BM camera looks good, the lack of AF is the only complain, and the reliability is the big question mark.

Olympus said that their 6 stop IBIS is hard to improve because of the Earth rotation...I guess that when you power up this Canon the planet will go backwards (hope that prices too).

who can buy a camera at this price?, it is a nice tool but most of us will only touch it in the stores.

Apparently Warner Bros have submitted Wonder Woman 1984 for all categories of the Oscars, from Best Picture, to Best Actress and Best Actor.    

It would be so funny if it won..  🤣🤣🤣🤣

This movie was a torture to watch, one of the worst I have seen in many months, great review from Andrew, he has put in words what every art lover will think about this masterpeace of shit, really guys, do not waste your time and money, it is pure shit packed with feminist and many other sauces to make it more easy to digest, and now going to the OSCARs?, well, most probably is going to win a lot of Oscars, since in that convention most of the votes are political, art really does not matter.

thanks good the dark theme was changed, it really was hurting my eyes!!!

except an evf...

That z-cam looks good but is still a big lump - suddenly you've got hdmi lead, power to think of (and another lead). This little camera is going to become very unwieldly quickly. 

to be honest it is not a big deal, I use the EVF for some shooting but not all the time, I will certainly add an external EVF when is needed, but I got everything that I can not find in other cameras, like perfect DPAF and great skin tones, that's the most important I need, the price is not ideal but affordable, I hope early next year I will be in NY to get one.

New Z-Cam EVF looks a potential decent match...

https://www.newsshooter.com/2020/08/29/z-cam-evf-electronic-viewfinder/

 

at first sight looks great, just an issue, HDMI: Input Video resolution up to UHD 30fps. Are we going to loose part of the image when recording 4K DCI?

The C70 is going to be my next camera on 2021, has everything I need, even I like the size of it, just one question to the community, which external EVF do you think is the best option for the C70?

Thanks @markr041 I'll be sure to check out the EF S 18-135, it's the right focal length and sounds like it might be good for what I need.

get a EFS 18-135 STM without hesitation, I am shooting with this lens on My C100 MarkI every week, lightweight, perfect focus, silent, good color, versatile, you can not go wrong!!!

Amazing job Andrew!!!, now we have a monster of a camera, shame on Canon, tricky bastards, now I am really thinking to get a R5, if I can shoot unlimited 8K that's paradise in my dictionary.

you can wait 100 years and no recall for sure, canon still will get a good margin with the R5, and that's all that matter.

I have been using eBay for many years, I got a R1, a GH4, an atomos ninja, SSDs, lavaliers, sound recordings, lights, tripods, etc, once a guy from china said he sent the item but he didn't add the tracking number, I complained and got my money back, to be honest my experience has been very good, I always get what I bough, but you always have to follow the manual, you only pay using PayPal through eBay portal, and always check that the seller has a reputation of 100%.

F..K canon, I can not accept this kind of scam, if the new firmware do not remove the time limit hack I hope people do not buy this camera. 

Great work Andrew!

Some thoughts.  Is line skipped from an 8K sensor yielding better 4K than one line skipped from a 6K sensor?  Does the AA filter mean the downsampled 4K from 8K isn't as sharp and therefore easily matched?  Why is everyone raving how wonderful HQ 4K is, if sharpened line skipped 4K looks as good?

To my eyes though, I could see the difference even on my phone.  HQ 4K looked naturally detailed, whereas standard looked sharp, which can give that video look.  Also he was using his face as a test, which can disguise lack of detail better; he should have tried a landscape view with a whole load of small detail.  Or something where moiré would be likely to show.  So it feels biased and his over the top reactions were annoying too.  As if sharpening a soft image wouldn't be comparable to a detailed image with minimum sharpening.  Its not rocket science.

Agree, his overreactions were really out of the place, we need a trustable review to see if 4K will be usable at the end. Soon we will see it from Andrew so better wait and decide with the facts on the table.

All these so called 'workarounds' really are an olympic sized exercise in turd polishing.

it is a shame we have to look for workarounds, but if there are workarounds I want to know about them and see if they will work for me, I am not getting a Sony crappy zombie skin tone, so if the camera can be used and I can adapt it to my shooting stile that's good news for me, anyway the price is really too high for what we will get, but next year we could see an interesting discount, let's see.

That topic has nothing to do with the issue: R5 in 4KHQ overheats while browsing menus and doesn't when filming externally without a card.

of course it related to find a solution, if we can use an external recorded to get 4KHQ for 4 continuos hours that's obviously a solution to use the camera in fiction, if we also get 4K internal with excellent quality for many hours, then the camera could be also usable in weddings, so we need a test from a reliable source, which for me will be Andrew's review, you have to look the camera as a whole, not by parts.

Nope – that is 4K HQ being output to Ninja V for sure

Same guy made a comparison between 4K and 4KHQ and looks like 4K is totally usable. So I will be waiting for Andrew's feedback about it, we could get several workarounds to use this camera in most of the situations.

This is what happens if you just read off a specs sheet. The 8bit of the c200 is very, very good and will give you a great image.  

in post I still want 422, I agree the image from canon is great, but you have to expose properly and make no mistakes, if you have a better codec you will be able to recover from some mistakes during the shooting process, I have been working with Canon C100 for a few years and the ninja star is already part of the hardware.

Definitely keen on th R200 which uses c200 sensor, looks like the perfect c100mkii replacement at same price as A7SIII

R300 also looking very good with same sensor as C300mkiii DGO sensor at cheaper price than current C200

 

XC20 gonna have constant 2.8 10x zoom and internal raw

 

https://www.canonrumors.com/multiple-cameras-coming-to-the-new-cinema-eos-r-lineup-along-with-a-new-xc-series-camera-cr2/

R200 with 420 8-bit?, I will get an R6 with a Ninja 5 instead any day of the week, and a portable fridge of course, really bad for a cinema camera, R300 looks better, if they have DPAF, most probably they will, but the price is too high, no RAW is a bummer, but if they added in a later date could be OK, it is even more expensive than a Komodo, anyway, could be the option to go after R5 disaster.

To be fair, the bride prep would just be a few photos and maybe some non heating low res footage.

The drive to the next location should be ok for cooling it IF you turned it off.    

Then you just hope no one is late or maybe you can ask the wedding party to rearrange the schedule to get the important stuff over first.

Maybe catching the bouquet before the walk down the aisle??

Either that or tow or three cameras should work.

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 response to the R5 has been very strong. Canon’s deliveries to US retailers have been extremely limited. We shipped out the first delivery in full last week and we expect to receive/ship our next delivery in 3-4 weeks....

to fix this camera issue is going to take several months, if they really want to fix it we will see a new version next year, but we will never know the new camera is different unless somebody open it and compare with the first ones, I am afraid Canon will continue selling the cameras as they are and we will never see a recall, no way, they know many people will just get the camera and keep it anyway, it is cheaper to just get a low percentage of returns.

So Dan retest it again for overheating, now people say he must have faulty unit, yeah definitely free pass to Sony on overheating.

 

 

don't forget to pre-order a backpack with the retractile umbrella option for run and gun with the new Sony a7s3. In case of you took R5 path, I just saw a big discount on Walmart for fridges using the coupon FANCANON.

I believe Tilta will work for me, you and every happy Tilta customer. They're good!

 

probably will extend the recording time, but I will be surprised if the issue is totally resolved, on the other hand, we now will have a camera closer to the $5K, not happy about it.

2020 is a lost year, I will stay in quarantine until January 2021, then will look through the window and if all is the same will come back to bed.

Thoughts on color? 

yellowish skin tone, a break dealer for me.

If all you DO need is an umbrella or anything just to keep it out of direct sun for external heat, that is fine in my book

Good luck with the umbrella tied to your back doing run and gun on the streets, police probably will think you are crazy and do not ask you for the permissions, nice strategy.
