    Super8 got a reaction from shooter in Canon EOS R5 / R6 overheating discussion all in one place   
    Looks like a really good design that's more than a fan.   I would suspect that they had a heads up on Canon's heating issue and had time to design this the right way.
    QUESTION:  Now is this a better cooling system design then what the S1H has built internally?
    I will guess this takes away all heating issues with the R5.  Fan noise might be the same as the S1H also.
     
    I'm not an expert but all the negative and exhausting testing reviews about overheating should eliminate any class action lawsuits.

    Are Sony's Cine engineers not allowed to work with the mirror-less department? 
    It's clear Sony can't get low cine color correct.  If you look at all camera brands you'll see color science that moves down through generational product lines.   That's why you hear Nikon color or Canon color or Fuji color talked about.  
    You never see brands change their color science around.  It is subjective but it also comes down to over all color science, iso shift and shadow color hue and depth or the lack of the latter two. 
    OMG that color is not good at all.  
     
     
     
    Word.  You might want to be concerned about the color from this camera.

    Big brain time should tell you if a heavy grade doesn't balance out skin tones then the color science captured is a hot mess.
    Resolve is great but not all footage should have to be FIXED to the extent Sony's have to be fixed.

    One or two pictures don't tell the story of color science does it?  It means they liked color in those two pictures.
    I judge color with my eyes.  It's easy to do. 
    Now making excuses for color that you see with your eyes is what Sony users do.

    The 12K footage looks good but not better than Arri, RED or Canon.    It still looks like BM color science.
    BM has a brand problem.  No big studio has to move away from RED or Arri.   The incentive to do so is not their unless the image quality is better.
    BM has also shown the flaws of it's lower line up.

    John does great wonderful work.   I have no problem with saying that.  His blog post about the BM12k was great and I said that.  Magenta cut on his footage is not great.  
    The "first thing a camera should do is make fantastic pictures".

    I might end up getting the P6K before it's all said and done.  I don't know.
    The technical issues of Gen3,4,5 color worries me.  Maybe @John Brawley can tell me how bad P6K color is in certain areas and how to avoid color issues. 
    With BM I'm not looking for Sony color or Nikon color or even Canon color.   I want cine color because that's what's advertised. 
    If not BM my next camera will be above $10K if the lower priced cine cameras are filled with issues and if they all play games with the cripple hammer.  I have a feeling you can't get a good cine sensor under $10K.

    I don't understand your comment.   In the US southeast it's 94 degrees today. In the US western states such as Las Vegas NV it was 108 degrees today.
    Most of the US has the dog days of summer so any camera if fair game to overheat and have to own that overheating.

    I'm surprised the G7 overheated.   I would love to see this test with the current 4K FF mirror less cameras other than the A7III.    Sony A7III lasted 5 minutes at 4K.   That's about what my A6500 would last after the first shut down.

    This is from BM BMUM12K page.
    "The IR filters have been designed to filter both optical wavelengths and IR wavelengths evenly to eliminate IR contamination of the images from which many ND filters can suffer."
     
    Everyone is talking about the BMUM12K getting BM into big production theatricals and taking productions from RED.   I'm pulling for them but you can't have magenta cast issues when you have specific built in ND's that are suppose to eliminate IR contamination.  BM is basically saying "look we addressed this" and then it shows up in promoted test footage.  Yes skin tones look the best every from a BM camera.  From a BM camera is key.  Color balance affects everything.
    This video does not have magenta cast in the black grey areas.   It starts with GH5 footage and then shows shots from the P4K - Gen4 and Gen5 color. 
    Great information about Gen4 / Gen5 and another color issues is discussed.

    No one complained but you because you thought we were.   The points made were all about improving BM place in the market for high end productions.  Sorry but looks matter. 
    Image also matters.  It's is odd that BM always touted specs and not image.  Now they are touting both.  I dig it.  It makes people ask what's under the hood.

    I agree about the body of the BM12K.   They need to stop messing around with the weird design looks and innovate the body so it appeals to RED users or anyone else.  If you spend 10K on a camera body in 2020 it should at least look as good what RED produces.

    At 01:24s his hair does not have a magenta color to it.  In the video it has a light cast.  The same with the first scene, girl with the black top and at 01:42s, her hair is a dark brown. The next scene at 01:44 you don't see magenta cast in her hair.  It's there when you know black should not have a magenta tone at all.

    This isn't a case about working with IR pollution.   The BM12K is said to have built in ND's that are perfectly balanced to eliminate IR contamination.   Are you saying Black Magic ignored the IR issue or @John Brawley ignored the IR issue?

    I know magenta cast or IR contamination can be removed. 
    IR contamination shouldn't be in that 12K footage.   I'm sure @John Brawley should have seen it.  He wrote up that blog about it.  I'm sure BM has a few great colorist that should have caught it. Heck, the built in ND's are supposed to eliminate IR contamination. 
    This is the reason ARRI, Canon and RED have clean color.   No company is perfect but these 3 companies seem to understand color science and working with the right sensor foundation. 
    Black Magic seems to get the most out of sensors for lowest cost compared to any other camera company.   Instead of cutting corners they should just make sensors and cameras that get the best results at any cost. 
    I'm begging to wonder if they have the engineers to pull of great color science. 
    Take a look at the picture from BM website, someone thought that IR contamination was acceptable to showcase.

    Why is @John Brawley being pushed on us so much across the EOS and the net today?  I thought real DP's don't hang out on the EOS?
    The proof will be in the footage not how technical someone talks about the NEW sensor.     
    Let @John Brawley compare the BM12K to Alexa, RED and Venice and see if it falls apart.  How much you wanna bet he never does that test?
    I really don't need a BM cheerleader to push their cameras.
