Seriously, my old MacBook with an Intel processor was really slow with the new Topaz and other software but my MacBook Air with an M2 is blisteringly fast, and I haven't a clue how fast PCs are.

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II coming in Q2, 2023? [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Only below ISO800 and if you expose to maximize the usable bitdepth, like using ETTR. Above ISO800 the dynamic range is already below 12 stops, so shutter mode won't matter in that respect.
If you're at ISO100 with contrasty subjects, like brights skies with tall buildings, then yes, you'll really notice it when post processing. I mainly notice it when using flash for macro photos, I can pull up a lot more details in post on subjects like orb weavers. Comparing summertime, natural light ISO100, ES pictures with fall time, ISO100 flash, EFCS pictures I have a lot more usable data in the shadows.
And 'colours' is a bit misleading to use here, the red channel will clip waaaaaaay before the green and blue channels, so you're already missing a huge chunk of the available colourspace, regardless of bitdepth. I don't have any better way of saying it, "up to 2 stops of dynamic range" doesn't really convey the same exponential severeness as "not losing 98% of all colours".

Whether we start with 14 or 12 bits, we end up converting our RAW files to 8-bit jpgs…

Maybe I am missing something, but the color depth and dynamic range are two different things.

Images taken with electronic shutter on the R5 is 12bit RAW files and with slightly lower DR. Mechanical shutter images taken on the R5 is 14bit RAW files. Point being I hope the R5 II will have 14bit in both modes.

The R5 has a max 14-bits, drops to 13-bits with high speed continuous + shooting (fastest mechanical shutter speeds), and drops to 12-bits with full electronic shutter.
FWIW, the R3 is always 14-bits for still images, even at 30 fps full electronic shutter.

Yeah, I tried to have a workflow that went something like this:
- Ingest CR3 into DPP4, run DLO, export to TIFF
- Ingest both CR3 and TIFF into LR Classic, group them with TIFF being on top
- Edit, edit, edit
- Export to TIFF from LR
- Have Preview.app convert the TIFF to HEIC
- Import HEIC into Photos.app
Importing the 16-bit TIFFs into Photos.app wastes a lot of space and leads to black pictures on devices, because the TIFF converter is quite buggy and/or too memory hungry. Sharing a picture to another app, like messages, was painful.
But what about DNGs? Well, LR can't export edited DNGs, only a DNG version of your RAW plus the edits as metadata. Which only Adobe apps properly support. But DXO PL is able to export edited DNGs, so that could be an option for the future!

Theory is great. But - as I wrote - Canon has several times increased high iso performance and pixel count at the same time. See no reason that it will be any different this time. Also, this is an endless discussion every time Canon increases pixel count. Just like so many Canon R customers you have long ago decided to upgrade your MPIX count significantly. A few years from now we will be reading that 100 MPIX is enough and 160 MPIX is "unbalanced" - from the same people that went from 8 to 10 to 12 to 16 to 20 to 24 to 30 MPIX...etc etc. Rejoice - more MPIX is better for wildlife.

8k is sort of an odd video spec with the quoted resolution. A 61MP sensor would be about 9600 pixels across, which would correspond to 10k resolution. I wonder if they'll crop in for 8k, if it's oversampled (not sure how that'd work with raw video) or if it'll be pixel skipped or if perhaps this rumored spec is off. Time will tell.

Because it's comfortable.
Canon in 1995 release EOS DCS 3 with hard drive inside. Today 2022 I don't want insert ssd 2230 in to the box, which has a little more thickness. I want to have ability insert ssd m2 2280 direct in to the camera with full temperature compatibility.
Today size of the ssd is small, and it's possible to make such solution. I want to have additional battery grip which can be used not only as battery holder but can contain 2 or 3 ssd.
If canon want release camera with 8k60 how I can use it ? 5 minutes per 1 card ?

I'm more interested in the end results than in the technology and methodology used to obtain them, but if you can suggest another in-camera method of producing uncropped files with lower resolution and smaller files, please go ahead. To be worthwhile, such files must retain the full colour gamut and tonal range, and not suffer from artefacts, so for me, JPEG and HEIF are unsuitable.
If you are wondering, yes, (depending on subject matter) I can easily distinguish a "highest quality" JPEG from a RAW or TIFF, so when post processing I initially output as a JPEG, and if I'm unsatisfied, I then output as TIFF. The latter of course uses up a lot of storage space, but produces by far the best result.
Getting back to the "R5 MKii" rumour, if the only options were to shoot maximum resolution RAWs or JPEGs, the camera wouldn't interest me. The 45MP of the current R5 serves all my needs, and my only major reasons for wanting an "improved" version would be to get better AF, bracketing and focus stacking at 30fps with e-shutter, to eliminate or greatly reduce EVF lag, and to get better battery performance.
It would be nice if Canon could also eliminate the R5 freezes - I don't know whether these only occurred with certain batches, or whether they've been eliminated from current production. In my case I only get freezes under specific circumstances - i.e. after shooting a few short hi-speed bursts.

Someone who needs high MP would benefit from a high MP camera.
The 61 MP rumor I suspect is bull and if there is a high MP camera, it would be the R5s.
But without competition, would canon have pushed mirrorless as hard as they have and with the kick ass eye af they developed?
The Eos R did not have the R6,5,3's eye af. I wonder if there was no need to compete with sony, would we have eye af today?
Or would we be instead seeing a 1dx m4 release today since the original thought was that mirrorless was not the future and Sony was wasting their time.
So to my point, Flagships tend to try and out do the competitions flagships, but all those crazy features get trickled down to the cameras most of us use today. I love my R6 and if it was not for the features to price ratio, or the RF lens quality, I might have decided to primarily use another brand.
If I needed more MP then I would have purchased an R5, but an R6 is great for what I currently need.

Well to be fair...the R6 is a bit lower end camera.
It's not likely to generally get the love of cameras R5 and higher level....

FWIW my workflow is:
Shoot on CR3
Edit it LR Classic (and PS, if needed)
Topaz Denoise AI output as JPEG
If any artefacts or colour blotchiness present in JPEG, output again as 8 bit TIFF
In very rare cases where colour blotchiness still exists in 8 bit TIFFs, output again as 16 bit TIFF
My experience is that with JPEGs, colour blotchiness often shows up in out-of-focus backgrounds where there are subtle transitions in colour. Most often this occurs in heavily defocused macro backgrounds, but sometimes it can happen in the sky with landscapes. Outputting from DeNoise to a 8 bit TIFF nearly always eliminates the blotchiness.

Wow..I'd never heard of this.He’s talking about RAW DNG video.
Canon 5D Mar II & III RAW DNG Footage Range nearly matches Black Magic and Red Epic
The Team behind Magic Lantern recently announced that they discovered a hidden 2K RAW DNG setting in live view on the 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III.www.slrlounge.com
Hmm...you know, I don't think I've ever updated the firmware of my old 5D3...maybe it's time to do so and see what else they added over the years!!!

Well, do remember at one time (not THAT long back for us old fellas)....our laptops had 3" floppy disks built in too.
LOL....
