Philip Bloom is totally going to film cats in 8K, if he hasn't already.

Polin regularly complains that camera manufacturers don't 'back up the money truck' to his house. I think he doth protest too much. Every time I hear him say 'Fro knows photo' a little piece of me dies.

Jared Polin is a blowhard. He basically shouts at you on a variety of topics. His videos are way over edited to the point of annoyance. By comparison, Northrup much more credible.

I'm looking for run and gun travelogue stuff + stills and the R6 running 4K60 at 29 mins max would be fine for me assuming recording time is accurate. Also need to see what actually causes rolling shutter, the examples I've seen on the R5 that have caused RS look unrealistic to me, I'd never whip pan like that. Having IPB at that frame isn't great but I can probably live with that. We'll see what the A7S3 looks like, but I can't see the AF, IBIS, form factor and general usability being as good as the R6/5 if history is anything to go by. The Sony menus have (historically) been painful and the A7's don't feel great in the hands, to me anyway. The focus on frame rates and pixel counts etc seem all consuming but I think useability is underrated. The bang for buck on the Sony's is great, market leading, but in terms of overall package R6 looks good *on paper*. We'll see.

The R5 is currently in a league of its own (on paper) at that price point. The issue will be real world usability and until I see *production* models tested by non-brand ambassadors the jury is out for me. It's 8K abilities are marketing brags only at this point. Even though the R5 is aimed at pros I'll bet very few will be using 8K as their default other than short tests. The storage requirements are insane, the vast majority won't have the space for 8K workflows. Over to you Sony...
