If the EOS R RAW and C200 4:2:2 were coming at NAB, Canon would have announced them by now?

What are the chances, do you think, that if CRAW or ProsRes RAW comes to the EOS R, that Canon will open up the full sensor (hence, remove the crop)?

If image processing is the major reason for the crop, is it not technically possible for a RAW image over HDMI to free the EOS R from that limitation (i.e. the crop)?

Damn, not only does it have 4K DPAF.. but it does so with continuous eye-AF in video. ..something EOS R can't even do (Canon better add that in a future update!)

No ALL-I codec, 10-bit out or Clog were to be expected.. but all in all not that much missing.

Pretty sweet deal for $1000 cheaper than EOS R released only 4 months ago.. 

 

 

Do we know for sure that it has 4K DPAF?

They could make EOS R owners slightly less mad if there was a decent firmware upgrade to a 1.5x crop in 4K (not like yesterday's firmware update).

They may also limit 4K on the EOS RP to IPB compression, 120mbps.

If it's 1080p and no C-LOG, or other silly restrictions then obviously whole thing becomes pointless for me.

But the rumours seem pretty certain it is 4K and not too gimped next to an EOS R.

For stills, it'll be nice but since I take most of my stills on an iPhone anyway, I won't get it just for that ?

 

Hi Andrew. The rumours concerning 4K were, I thought, related to the (now) unreliable rumours concerning a 24MP camera. Canon Rumours thinks these relate to a future EOS-M model.

I can't imagine that Canon would offer 4K (even cropped) from a full-frame camera for only $1500-$1600. It'll be 1080p :(.

I'd like your best educated guess:

Will the EOS RP have 4K or not?

Given that rolling shutter in 4k is terrible, how well would Premiere CC's "Rolling Shutter Repair" work?

DPReview said 1.74x crop was the 5D Mk IV in 4096x2160

Now they are saying same 1.7-ish crop on the EOS R even though it only crops 3840 x 2160 from the same sensor.

So it is more like a 1.8x crop in 4K and that is before you turn on EIS, which makes it a 2x-ish crop at least.

Much like the M50 with a speedbooster.

Perhaps they really did add the crop because the old sensor technology led to overheating. If they wanted to merely protect their 1DX/1DC and cinema line, they could have limited the crop to something like 1.3x and limited the negative press. Or even better, take out the crop from 24/24fps 4k and leave it in the 30fps like the A7iii.

1.7X, in my experience with the M50 + speedbooster in 4K, makes depth of field difficult.

RF to EF speedbooster adaptor would be interesting in 4K.

What is the 4K crop on the EOS R with the digital IS turned off?

Hi,

A few people have commented that Sony's codec makes 4k editing a bit tougher and longer than say Canon's on the M50.

Matti Haapoja also commented that it made his post-production work a decent bit harder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmL19fSQCMA

If I found editing the Canon M50's MP4 files not too bad (albeit a little tough) on a Microsoft Surface Book i7 (Intel[R] Core[TM] i7-8650U CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.11 Ghz with 8GB ram), how usable (or not) would the Sony A7iii's 4k codec be?

Will the Sony A7Siii likely have the same codec?

Kind regards,

Paul
