Canon EOS R5 has serious overheating issues – in both 4K and 8K
Video Hummus replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
That’s why its a camera conspiracy. I’ve never seen a industry like the camera industry. It’s weirdly opaque in the hardware department. Can’t tell if it’s incompetence or genius. -
Panasonic S1 V-LOG -- New image quality king of the hill
Video Hummus replied to Andrew Reid's topic in Cameras
Looks like manual focus to me. -
Yeah, so I’m not sure I see much downside in shooting in the pixel-binned modes for longer records. Save the 4K HQ oversampled mode and 8K RAW for those challenging shots. I’m also glad the R5 has the CFExpress slot. I know media is expensive but its a future proof storage medium. The A7SIII is rumored only to have SD, so probably no internal RAW, and the typical anemic sony codecs and bitrates.
-
Is pixel binning from 48mp on the R5 even that bad? The A7Riv pixel bins from 60mp and it looks really good. So the R5 in pixel bin mode might be worth the money over the R6
-
Exactly. Sony does well with DR, certainly better than Canon. I don’t know anything but I doubt they are going to regress in DR performance compared to A7iii
-
Yes, at least for A9 stacked sensor. The larger pixels will probably balance it out. A9 is 24MP this is half that.
-
Looks like a stacked 12MP sensor (could potentially be quad-bayer but unlikely stacked and quad). Same tech in A9ii just lower MP. I suspect the readout speed will be blistering with no RS problems at all. Looks good to me. FF doesn’t need a quad-Bayer sensor anyway, unless you like to shoot only in moon light. Noise performance will most likely be more than acceptable, stellar even. Now, the big question is bitrates and codec and IBIS. Will they have this outperform their FX-9 darling? Doubt it,

Nikon will announce Z6s/Z7s updates, with dual card slots and 4K 60fps

Dual processors being advertised...uh oh. Olympus did the same thing and they are headed for the exits. Usually means lack of funds for investing in better tech. -
They do! They want you to buy CanOn C200/300/500 and hopefully we will get a new C100 or XC style RF Mount camera. There was no-way Canon was going to release an R5 with unlimited 8K/4K120p, oversampled 4K video with DPAF in all modes without some cripple hammering. Let’s get real. What they did release was excellent hybrid cameras. If anything they drew a solid line in the sand about their philosophy going forward. They very much see their Cinema line as the place to go for video work. I think its an exciting release, overheating gotchas and all.
-
Yes, they have had a complete package for 3 years now minus AF. You would think it would be essential for them to get it right this time... GH5 got more things right then wrong, by far. They could add PDAF, keep the current feature set and maybe add 10-bit in all modes and they would be competing with the latest cameras just released. It doesn’t have to be PDAF or whatever. It could be mythical perfect DfD system if the hunting is gone, the pulsing is not noticeable, and it tracks correctly. So for as much as 2020 has sucked ass, its shaping up to be an exciting camera year.

So true. 🤣 -

Product segmentation, perhaps? I think there has been 4 important aspects of the R5 release: 1) internal RAW took a baby step to becoming mainstream. 2) 10-bit 4:2:2 Log recording is the new baseline. 3) 4K HFR (anything higher than 60p) is the new slow motion benchmark. 4) You no longer need gloves in the winter when operating your mirrorless camera. -

Yes, and almost nothing is being processed when you shooting 12-but RAW. It’s just basically wrapping it in a container and dumping it to memory card. -

And charge $10,000 to get rid of the record and temperature limits. Profit! -

There are other factors too. The size of the process node (40nm, 22nm, 14nm?) the CPU and ISP are made on. I suspect all the camera manufactures are behind or can’t get those chips on newer node sizes. There is a reason an IPhone 11 Pro with a Apple built A13 SoC at 7nm can do amazing things in a tiny phone. You can edit 4K video on that thing and export it faster than an IMac in some cases. All passive cooling in a form factor 20x smaller than an R5. I think the problem lies with the ISP chips that are handling the RAW data, as most of the newer cameras are using ARM based off the shelf CPUs for the UI, IO, and operating systems on the cameras. Would love to see someone open up an R5 and see what’s inside and see what they did to control heat. What chips they are using. -
I’m really hoping to see some reliable AF tech in a GH6. Otherwise, depending on what the A7Siii brings I’ll be investing in either canon or Sony moving forward. Sony doesn’t inspire me as much for whatever reason.

I’m very curious of this as well. Especially the 4K modes. -

They should have looked at what Sigma did with the fp and tried to do something similar. I believe the S1H has a vent with a fan but there isn’t actually any exposure to the internals as I think that cameras has a heatpipe and heatsink on the inside and the fan blows on the other side of the heat sink to cool it. So water or gunk could mess up the van but not get inside. I could be wrong on this. I don’t see any other way to water seal it otherwise. The camera manufactures need to start getting clever on how to cool things down. They could incorporate cheeky heatsink/heatpipe on the bottom of the camera, or a heatpipe that attaches to the 1/4-20 at the bottom so when you screw in a tripod or quick release heat can move from inside to outside (🧐 good opprotunity there for a weekend warrior with a CNC machine to cash in!). -

Definitely wait! If it has the AF that can compete. Otherwise, it will most likely be ignored. So hoping Panny can sort it out because they make great workhorse cameras like it's been said many times. Yup, that and the 4K120p. Although, sounds like you'll need a beast of a computer to edit those files. Hopefully the camera can cool down enough between relatively short 1-10 minute active recordings (where you stop recording, reframe, change settings, etc...) and when you hit the record button again. IF it can't then I can see some major problems for users. Not being able to do long form stuff in 4K is shitty. Maybe its hardware related, maybe its the cripple hammer. I'm sure we will know soon enough.
