I think we should look at the overheating as a positive. You can use the camera to cook bacon to feed the crew in between takes. You'll save on catering!

I don't think being a hybrid is an excuse, personally. And going the 8K raw route this early says to me they're trying really hard to appeal to video users. You're not throwing that out there unless you're trying to appeal to that user base.

It's specs are obviously impressive, but what do specs matter if the camera is functionally limited? If you constantly need to give the camera a break to use these "groundbreaking" features, how is that practical? Innovation is great, but it should be fully realized, not half baked and just thrown out there because you're trying to undermine the competition. I hope once we are able to really see this camera in action that it exceeds expectations.

Officiant: I now pronounce you hus... Video guy: WAIT! OVERHEATED! GIVE ME 10 TO LET IT COOL DOWN?!

Just make sure it's not another R5!

Why would you shoot with an R5 at all if there's even remotely a chance that it'll overheat? I am not much of a filmmaker, I've only recently started dabbling in that aspect, but for event filming, corporate, commercial work and interviews I don't turn off the camera unless I absolutely have to. Is it common to turn cameras on and off on a film set?

The lack of fan / cooling is really baffling.

Really? My experience with Canon cameras is limited. Sorry if I spread misinfo, just assumed he was turning it off and on to show it has it.

It's wild how Canon and Sony have seemingly switched places.

My bad, it was histogram. About 5 minutes in. https://youtu.be/PvU4WNb6-J4

Gordon's video showed waveforms.

No RAW video in 4K. 8K only, according to Gordon.

All I shoot is 30+ minute videos! 🤣

30 minute record limit.

The Canon Cripple Hammer lives!

Affinity Photo is decent, but ultimately I switched back to Photoshop because it was just easier and more convenient.

In Vermont the R5 would be 4132.94 with sales tax (6%). Most states have a sales tax of 4-7%, though a couple have no sales tax.

Correct. I'll often go to New Hampshire for larger purchases to save on taxes, since it has so sales tax.

I get a lot of Donald Trump ads 😭

I'm sure it's a lovely lens but Sigma and Tamron are putting out just as good lenses for a lot less. Hard to justify paying that much.

How does the situation with Olympus impact Panasonic's commitment to M43? Is there a reason why they've stuck with DFD for auto focus in video, even as competitors have moved away from it? Do they plan to continue to have two branches of the GH series moving ahead?

I don't know that you're going to be able to do much better than a lav into a recorder under those circumstances. If they were sitting in a public place or something, you'd be able to figure out places to hide it, like in a plant or something, but it sounds like your subjects will be moving? Maybe some kind of stereo mic? But the background noise might make that difficult?

Why the hell haven't we all been using them then?!

Is there a back up in the event something happens and the picture/video doesn't transfer?
