RED's license agreement for the camera makes you agree that all of its software is used at your own risk and that they do not guarantee it does anything at all in terms of functionality. If you then try to go after them for any consequential damages for the impact of it not having not done something (i.e. anything from not working or corrupting data on its media) then you will have agreed by accepting the license that the maximum amount of compensation will be $50. The claim is that this puts it in violation of the USA's Universal Commercial Code as this makes the contract "Unconscionable" as it represents "Unequal Bargaining Power" and "Limiting Warranty". The opening of the floodgates for claims against RED for damages over losses sustained by malfunctioning cameras by those contracts being declared null and void would be the implication but that remains to be seen. Similarly there is a clause on the sensor upgrade programme where if RED (and RED alone) determined your camera was not in good condition they could charge you the whole value of the new camera for the upgrade and only give you $1 compensation for your camera. I'm guessing there are a lot more cases involving the $50 one than the $1 one but you never know. The meat of the rest of it was about potential chicanery over morphing corporate structures that might be taken to imply that RED is in preparation for shielding the "new" company from lawsuits that may occur from the previous revelations about the "old" company. Oops, I wish I'd read it before typing mine as it would have saved me some time !

It was a comment about the cooling system of the camera so I wasn't actually advocating it as an alternative for anyone let alone everyone as people's needs are different. If 4K60 is an absolute requirement for you then that is game over when it comes to the fP, although I wouldn't rule anything out with Sigma when it comes to firmware updates as it already does 12bit RAW at 100fps in HD mode in Full Frame so they would be able to do 4K60 in its APS-C mode which would then exceed the GH5's smaller sensor and of course would be 12bit RAW rather than 8 bit 4:2:0. With regard to the size of it, it can be built up to whatever size is needed so, for some people such as myself, that is an advantage as you can't make a bigger camera smaller. As for L mount, again, its not a particular disadvantage because there are electronic adapters for EF mount and as it is one of the shallowest mounts you can get then it can be adapted to take even more lenses than the MFT mount (such as Leica M lenses) and obviously consequentially more than EF mount cameras where the particular achilles heal is its inability to take most PL mount lenses. So, its not for everyone, but for anyone that does need a modular full frame camera that can mount any lens you care to mention on it, shoots 12bit RAW to sub £100 media, can shoot BRAW externally, is less than half the price of the two cameras du jour on here and doesn't overheat, I'd give it a cautious recommendation to be on their shortlist. The lack of a tilting screen or EVF is wank though.

Ah but all 10 of us are trotting around in the bright sunshine shooting internal RAW without oven mitts, ice cubes, fans, thermometers and stopwatches. So, swings and roundabouts 😉

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry... Why are you still not including a link to the software you have shilled in 100% of your posts on here? It so amateur. Or Spamateur in your case.

Considering pre-orders are supposed to open on September 1st, FAF would currently stand for Fucking August Already?!?

The two empty SDRAM slots that I've highlighted here on this teardown of the ATEM Mini Pro are likely to at least be part of the answer to what they've added to the Mini Pro ISO.

Can you point to where I said URSA Mini 4.6K in my list rather than the global shutter equipped URSA Mini 4K ? I mean, you even quoted BM Ursa Mini 4K from my list in your reply for fucks sake. You might has well have said there is no global shutter on a Sony RX100 if you're going to try and be a smart arse and quote cameras that I didn't mention. There has been absolutely no "GS sensor wars" in any years let alone recent ones and I've got no idea where you've got that idea from.

Like it ever leaves your head in the first place 😉

You mean aside from all the footage on YouTube from (off the top of my head) BM Production 4K Camera, BM Ursa Mini 4K, Digital Bolex, AJA Cion, Sony F35, Sony F55 and the countless numbers of video camera made that had a CCD sensor ?

Cine D? If sites are renaming themselves after picture profiles then maybe @Andrew Reid should consider SLOG as it must be just that trying to deal with the amount of trolls that show up here around camera launches.

Canon EOS R5 / R6 overheating discussion all in one place
BTM_Pix replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
So the heat is all generated in the card bay? I'd give it about an hour before Tilta have this ready for pre-order then. -
I might be an old cynic but.... If I was worried about a web site harvesting your email address, then I'd be very dubious about going to a web site that offers to check that for you in return for you entering your email address. To be honest, I'd be pretty concerned that I'd just added my email address to a more valuable list of ones that hadn't already been harvested 🙂 I'm sure its legit though.

Well then, he's certainly not gone away has he ? There is some pretty interesting stuff in there.

Possibly? I'll have you know its almost certainly perhaps potentially conceivably in all likelihood going to happen. At some point.

Edelkrone have always struck me as a company that charge a bit of a premium but that you'd get a better level of support so thats bad to hear.

Canon EOS R5 / R6 overheating discussion all in one place
BTM_Pix replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
According to the original report that Forbes used as the source for that article, if Canon don't pay the ransom then the hackers have created a data leak site where they will publish the data. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/canon-hit-by-maze-ransomware-attack-10tb-data-allegedly-stolen/ -
His main issue, aside from the problem with the 1st one he received and the noise at higher speeds, was that the potential of what was shown with the combination with the gimbal didn't square with the reality due to the software not being able to control both simultaneously. That was then adressed with the linkage control feature so its a pity that he didn't do a follow up when that was enabled and it looked like Moza didn't do a great job in communicating how imminent that update was as reading their responses made it appear like it was some distant development.
-
This is a run through of it for macro filming (cued up at the point at which he starts talking about it) and he goes through the pros and cons. He references that he wishes it could connect with Moza's other products and this has been subsequently happened with the linkage control feature with the Aircross 2 showcased in this next video. I have to say I was sceptical about a real use for the Slypod when it was launched but when you now see what it can do in tandem with the Aircross 2 then as a package it offers a lot of motion control possibilities for a total price of less than £600.

Canon EOS R5 / R6 overheating discussion all in one place

Oh dear @Andrew Reid Seems that Canon have been victim to a ransomware attack. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/08/05/has-canon-suffered-a-ransomware-attack-10tb-of-data-alleged-stolen-report/#45538b3d499e I wonder if somewhere within that 10tb of data they've had stolen there is a forlorn email from the head of R&D saying "Yes, we've got it to do 8K and all that shit but you do realise this fucking thing is going to overheat if we don't put a cooling system in it don't you?" -
The point you seemed to be making, and the one that I was responding to, was about it appearing to be too complicated as being the barrier to you doing it. If the point you were making was that there was no applicable paying market in your area even if you have the technical solution then, yeah, that is a different matter entirely. Apologies for the confusion.

I could do you one between the 12-32 and the PanaLeica 12-60 as I actually have them both on my bench at the moment because I'm "up to something" with them. On the basis that if it competes with that far more expensive one then you'd be on to a winner ? It wouldn't be very elaborate as I'm too stretched to go anywhere (so a Spyder LensCal and ColorChecker at say 12, 26, 24 and 32 would be the scope of it) and it wouldn't be for a few days but let me know.

Ah but isn't the argument that everyone else will be thinking that way too precisely why you should be doing it and hoovering up all the business ? Teradek's bonded cellular encoders mean that you are not at the mercy of the venue, or you can use them to additionally boost your outbound speed by bonding cellular and whatever wired/wireless speed they have available) They can use pay as you go data plans with no monthly commitment so you can charge for data on a per job basis without tying yourself into ongoing monthly costs. It will set you back circa $/€2000 for the Vidiu Go encoder and two of their Core modems though 😉

Sigma are still on the fence over developing anything for the Z and RF mounts but if this camera is going to happen then it might persuade them to dip their toe in and re-do their three compact mirrorless APS-C primes in RF mount as they've just done for L mount. You have to think that Canon, like Nikon have with the Z50, will do APS-C cameras with the new mount so there will eventually be more suitable glass for it. At that price, I can see this camera being a big hit even if its only likely to be going to be used with adapted lenses in the short term.
