Canon announces development of the EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Yes. And it doesn't have the power to do AF in 5.5K 60p either. Why should the R5, a cheaper and smaller body (less volume to dissipate heat) have more power, to handle AF in 8K 30p? 8K 30p is already a tiny bit more throughput than 5.5K 60p, but as you said, that is not withholding abilities from the 1D, but just its resolution.

What aspect of 8K do you believe to add such an amount to the cost? It's just RAW data, most likely, that goes straight to the card. I fail to see where that adds a significant expense, after all Magic Lantern managed to to the same thing in Software years ago.Can't wait to pay a couple hundred bucks extra for 8K video that I'll never ever use.

Agreed. I think one is coming as well. I am just astonished at what this camera suggests for the R1

depends on your camera. Some cameras have DLO built into the JPEG processing so you can turn that on, and it should help your JPEG's. Otherwise, no, it needs the RAW data if you are doing it in post processing on your computer. The RF mount cameras do this much better. as the DLO data packet is stored in the lens itself and downloaded in the camera automagically. with other DSLR's .. i think you may have to load the lens profile manually into the camera.

The first batch will be sold out in 1.5 seconds...
Unlikely. Canon has a track record of mass pre-producing cameras.
They built 2.400.000 copies of the 5D MkIV before they started shipping.
Canon will for sure build close to seven digit copies of the R5
before shipping, and I am pretty sure it will ship in June.
CP+ will see samples under glass, Photokina will see working
copies.

That's a very wrong assumption.
It certainly looks dashing, but the only thing distinguishing this camera noticeably from its Sony/Nikon/Panasonic competition is 8K and they're gonna make everyone pay for it. Not a fan at all.
None of the aforementioned cameras have full compatibility with the EF system, including the Dual-Pixel AF and Dual IS, which most setups do not have (Except in the m43 system, which is not FF and not as good in terms of AF).
There are other things such as colour science, or an ergonomic design without the bulk of a Panasonic S1.
It is simply a missing piece of an unfinished puzzle.
Yes, there are other cameras with great specs, but they aren't working as well as an integrated system. Nobody else will be able to match that because that's not how they've designed them in the first place.

They will for sure attack the Sony A9 II also pricewise.
Which translates to a price point not over $4000,
maybe even lower.
Remember: This is a war machine, designated to
win a 50%+ market share back.

actually to achive 20 fps at 40MPix requires most of the same technology as it would to produce 8K at 30fps. especially if it's simply raw data.Can't wait to pay a couple hundred bucks extra for 8K video that I'll never ever use.
It certainly looks dashing, but the only thing distinguishing this camera noticeably from its Sony/Nikon/Panasonic competition is 8K and they're gonna make everyone pay for it. Not a fan at all.
So here's to hoping the R6 comes with all of the same features except a lower res sensor that doesn't allow for pricey 8K shenanigans.

The image/video processing pipeline requires additional software engineering for 8K (maybe even additional hardware but I'm not sure about it) and since no other mirrorless does 8K they're gonna charge extra just because they can. Understandable and possibly even smart from a marketing/company standpoint but for me personally as a stills photographer it's a ton of extra cost for no extra use at all.

It's less about what it actually costs Canon to make it and more about what they can charge extra. No other camera in the segment does 8K, Canon is not exactly a niche company and the R-glass is like no other so they can affort to charge a substantial premium for 8K.

If they had all that info it would be an 'Release Announcement' not a development announcement. Honestly. Some people would whinge if they were handed a a thousand bucks and told to have fun

You have to have an image that's at least 8192 pixels wide. The aspect ratio for the sensor is 3:2 so short side would have to be at least 5462 pixels giving it a 44.7 megapixel resolution.
edit: just like @canonnews says, different aspect ratio for photos and video.

Nuh, the fourth one is a rotation friction / tension control ring. Tighten up as required to fight zoom creeping. From smooth to tight. You get the gist anyway.
