Yes, but are you 100% sure it's UHD out and not just 1080p out?  I don't recall any Canon bodies doing UHD HDMI out.

This camera might just kill the c100. (except for XLR and internal ND's)

Well you can get lens adapter with variable ND, so that just leaves the XLR

I’m looking, but just see this:

 On the plus side, the EOS R does have 4:2:2 10-bit video output externally via the HDMI port (internally, it's 8-bit).

Not seeing any mention of HDMI 4K out...

Does not list the output resolution of HDMI though.  Only states "On the plus side, the EOS R does have 4:2:2 10-bit video output externally via the HDMI port (internally, it's 8-bit)."

OK. let's wait and find out.

I just can't buy a FF 1080 only camera in almost 2019.  Just can't.  Would way rather get the A7S III when it's released.  1.2-1.3x crop I could have dealt with.  At launch shooting UHD, the widest you can go natively (without adapters) is 24mm @ F/4 x 1.67 - effectively 40mm @ F/6.7 in FF terms.  Blech.

4:2:2 10-bit video output, HDMI 4K out - 3:49

If it were a 1.67x crop in stills, all hell would break loose. 😂

4k Crop revealed here at 2 minutes 30.  What a surprise!

It’s funny the last time me and the girlfriend watched a movie... she mentioned that she couldn’t really follow the story because they were shooting with a 45mm lens instead of a 28mm.

Quite surprised by the specs on this camera. It sounds like it is about 3 years late. 

With the not particularly inspiring Nikon and now Canon announcements, Panasonic seems to be in a prime position. If they announce something that is basically a Full Frame GH5 , they will really be ahead of the game.

HDMI outputs HD/FHD/4K in 8bit 422,  UHD 4K only at 10bit 4:2:2, Canon Log available both internally and externally, with BT709 and BT2020 gamut options.

Tomorrow the x-t3 is supposed to be announced with 40k60, 10bit internal and ETERNA. If it doesn’t have a crop when shooting 4K it seems to be a much better deal than the new Canon. 1.7x crop 😂😂

I think you mean the other way around.   Your premiss being they are using a 28mm to get a 45mm fov on a smaller sensor so its no big deal.   Theres nothing wrong with that size of sensor. M4/3rds is pleanty.  The issue is paying for a full frame camera and lenses.  But I guess if you are a hybrid shooter it gives you full frame stills, and ibis log all-i 4k internally in one camera.  That is a first I suppose.

The monkey doesn’t seem to mind the crop.

X-T3 has a crop.

If I was a Canon apologist I would have said the same thing as him 🤣🤣

There’s no information about that anywhere online so unless you’re using one right now you’re just making things up.

Hey look at it this way, that 50mm 1.2 can double as a 85mm 1.2 in 4K ! Yay!

[Mokara 81]

The 4k resolution in the "4K" videos that have appeared so far appears pretty terrible. Most of looks like HD, some even 720p. I suspect that a lot of the footage has been shot at HD then upscaled to 4K for the marketing videos in order to minimize rolling shutter on all of the pans and action shots they are doing. Lots of really bad banding in the sky too, which suggests that it has been heavily modified in post and then kicked in the nuts on conversion to Youtube.

I am pretty sure that if what they show is typical of EOS-R 4K output I would be disappointed compared to my NX1.
