The fact that this beautifully designed and engineered camera doesn’t overheat thanks to it’s clever use of a heatsink puts many other manufacturers to shame. They should thus take notice and pay their respects to this simple yet extremely elegant solution. It makes me even want to buy a Sigma fp just to support the company, even though I don’t really need the camera.

That shortfilm is second to none compared to every ”branding video” I’ve seen made with cameras in this price range. Really impressive.

They also fixed the flickering blacks with this firmware.

It seems Sigma fixed the flickering issue with the 2.0 firmware. Nikon should take notice.

Very sad news this, I have fond memories of my long gone E-M10ii. A dream camera would have been the GH5S sensor in a E-M1iii body with IBIS, 10bit internal, 4K 60p and the PDAF of Olympus.

I see people are getting excited about the new leaks on the R6, myself included, but until someone tells me how that camera will suffer from less rolling shutter in 4K than the dreadful one on display with the 1dxiii, color me doubtful.

Multihour sessions without

any heat issues just works ..

So they finally fixed the overheating? I take it you’re shooting in 4k? The irony in solving the heat issues but still leaving out picture profiles...

I never noticed any flickering on my Z6 but I always shot in flat or z-log. Is it possible to provoke the effect even when shooting internal 8-bit?

It is only true for full sensor 4k30p, full sensor 4k60p (when the AF is disabled) has half as much rolling shutter, big difference

Of course but then you lose DPAF. And who shoots at 50/60p more than at 24/25p? I would really prefer it if it was the other way around.

Interestingly the M6ii and the 90d with it’s binned and soft 4k has very low rolling shutter, which is promising for the R5 if they choose that route instead of downsampling. I have high hopes for the rumored M5ii with IBIS, I don’t mind having soft 4K.

But we all have our preferences, good rolling shutter performance is next to good colors and reliability what is most important to me. Chacun son goût.

Wolfcrow tested out the 1dxIII extensively on a job and praises many things, but rolling shutter performance in 5,5k raw is not one of them. It’s really bad (which makes me cautious about both the R5 and R6) But the image is as expected gorgeous.

Don't they share the same sensor as the Z6 and A73 ?

Looking at this comparison (side by side 0 I like the A73 better.

 

Stop trolling and leave Ebrahim. You think that is even remotely relevant as an image quality comparison? Full VLOG 10bit internal is something the 8bit Sonys with their shitty s-log won’t even come close to regarding color and dr. 

Wholeheartedly agreeing about the S1. Owned it for a couple of months, sold it because I was a bit of a cunt with regards to the autofocus, but no other full frame mirrorless I’ve had or tried offer the same tank like build quality and gorgeous output. A gem of a camera for sure.

Did they get rid of the screen delay in 24fps video recording? Remember it driving me a bit crazy when I used it about 5-6 months ago. 

Unfortunately no. I sold mine because of this, but I really miss it though. And I know some people aren’t even bothered by this, but just like you I found it too annoying to live with. Hopefully this gets remedied on the mark ii. And I really wish Nikon would release their compact primes already.

@DEFI63 Génial. Encore un français qui refuse de s’exprimer dans la langue toute a fait dominatrice de ce forum.

Et non, le R5 n’arrive pas le 16 mai. Ils se sont trompés dans la traduction du site allemand.

@Super8 God tier trolling right here 😂

@Brother Another disconcerting thing I’ve noticed with the IBIS is it seems to be introducing the infamous warping artefacts when shooting on something moderately wide, such as the 16mm f1.4, even when holding the camera as still as possible. Have you noticed this?
 

Yes I know we’re all different w/r/t how disturbing this is, but I really dislike it and much prefer a shaky non stabilized hand held shot to a wobbly warping one.

Got a feeling Olympus E-M1X will come out top.

You still have the E-M1X? I’ve been thinking about the E-M1ii for documentary purposes, how high would you push the ISO on the Olympus? It’s the same sensor as the GH5, right?

@Brother great test that confirms what I’ve noticed in the previews - cancelled my preorder. I really hope they can fix this with firmware, otherwise the X-T3 seems like a bargain. Nice to hear about the (good) heat managment as well. Heja Sverige

Back to the Canon R5.  I will check in with my Canon contact and see when I can get my hands on a prototype for testing.

😂🤣😂🤣

Sure. Canon color, better motion cadence, better IBIS, better placed dynamic range and better lens selection gives you a better image. Who do you trust to give you a better image? Canon or Panasonic.  Oh, and I forgot to mention the Canon 4K will be in focus. LOL

You can’t be taken serious. I owned the S1 for a stint and was amazed at how good the IBIS was, and of all the MILCs I’ve had my hands on the build quality of that camera is a thing of beauty. With the full V-LOG the color science is amazing, I much prefer it to both the Fuji and the Canon

Really hope Canon does well with the IBIS, but seeing how this is their first attempt I’m not holding my breath. Just look at how Fuji cocked up the XT4, which has a smaller sensor.  And motion cadence, LOL

As camera / sensor makers move into higher resolutions it unlocks better frame rates at lower resolutions. The great thing about the R5 is that it will be able to record better 4K than anything we have in the current market (non cine)with ease and this includes higher frame rates.

Interesting. Tell me more about this please. How will the R5 have better 4K than the Panasonics, for example, apart from the supposed frame rates?

R5 will have Canon's fastest on-chip ADC from 1DX III with readout speed at 174Kp/s @ 12bit, compared to Sony's current gen of 180Kp/s.

With this data, the 45MP sensor can scan DCI 8K at 40fps so rolling shutter will be around 25ms.

 

Maybe, but what kind of rolling shutter will we be seeing in 4K 24/25p? That’s more important to most of us, I believe.

I was really disappointed with the 1dx III in 4K and 5,5k at 24p. It’s worse than the Sony A*000.

And I’m m certain the R6 with the 20mpx sensor won’t Be any better than the 1dxIII in that regard.

@hmcindie Haha, you don’t know shit about what I’m producing. And if you don’t understand what I write about the R5 hype train then I can’t help you. And I suggest you calm down with your condescension, it’s distasteful and unbecoming and makes you look like an insecure bully.

Are you serious? Public tv and their cam ops shooting reality. Now that means quality.

Are you serious? Public service in my country produces a vast array of content, spanning from fiction to news reporting and documentaries.

Lovely @Django. I see that you managed to cram "game changer", "cripple hammer", "FACTS" and "butt-hurt" into two posts within the hour. It reads like an over excited, underachieving Youtube shill-tard's headline. You know what people use where I work, at the national public television, besides the ENG-cameras? Panasonic GH5, Panasonic S1, Panasonic GH5s and I've seen one S1H. You know what they won't be using doing professional video work on the field? Canon R5 in 8K raw. Get a grip.
