Two New Lenses, Including an RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM Coming September 9

[koenkooi]

The 85mm f/1.4L VCM looks to be identical in size to the other 4, not a shocker, but cool nonetheless. I preordered the preorder.

That makes it a bit more attractive to me, but I’ll have to use the 85STM a lot more to consider replacing it with the VCM.

I have been rolling with the EF 85 1.4, I'm good to move on from the adapter. I won't miss the IS.

The reason it would have no IBIS is dynamic range. To get the maximum out of the sensor it needs to be properly cooled. And I assume that's a lot more difficult when you cannot stick a giant heatsink to the back of the sensor. In that case I would prefer more dynamic range and electronic with lens stabilization.
I've been using the R5c electronic stabilization and it pretty decent. It's the right trade off for me.

So the spec sheet has not mention Open Gate....

 

[Thatdiabeticguy]

So just to get this straight. It does NOT have Dual Pixel AF II and the Open Gate only works up to 30fps?

RF lenses' IS are reasonably good. TBH if the CMOS has fast readout(sub 10ms), the rolling shutter effect is small enough to not care IS

Full Specifications Posted

Let's keep this thread civil. Different features, omitted or otherwise matter to different people.

I like what I read in those specifications. Thanks for sharing. Finally, I am happy.

 

[AndGuz]

Can the R5c be discontinued while the dual fisheye is still being sold?

^ I’m also curious about this too. The specs here, though enough to use for ‘Spatial Video,’ seem to fall short of the 180° capabilities of the R5C.

I believe that the R5mk2 was also designed to include functionality of the dual fisheye. A cinema camera is not required. The R5 hybrid stills/video system should not be tethered to the EOS Cine line. Canon will most likely update camera and lens firmware to incorporate any lens functions. This is good because by detethering the two lines all genres will benefit. In doing this there is no need for a separate R5C hybrid line.

Bravo Canon for detethering the EOS Cine line from the R5 hybrid camera system and releasing the compact EOS Cine form factor that many people want.

I can't find a word about electronic image stabilization. Is it a standard in Canon bodies now? It works like Blackmagic gyro data to stabilize in post? Or is it works in body?
Or do you think C50 hasn't got any?

Digital IS is standard on all Canon RFs, even R50 R50V R100 has it

 

[rombe3jr]

Looks like Canon is coming out strong as they will announce this C50 later today. I wonder what the price will be compared with the Sony FX3?

 

[BostonPaul]

Canon press release. C50 is $3899

Oof, the lack of 60p in open gate hurts. It makes it fine for using anamorphic on narrative, but useless for the mixed media corporate b-roll that I would have used it for.

 

[PinholeR5]

Doesn't look like the 85mm is coming today.

It was announced and available for pre-order.

It does have DPAF II.
It can only go up to 40 FPS in photos.
Video will always be slower for the same resolution.

 

[scyrene]

If the C50 has no IBIS as has been rumored that's going to be a huge fail on Canon's part. Guess it will all be clear soon.

lol

 

[scyrene]

That's your point ok BUT for the size of this camera it should have IBIS for run n gun filmmakers just like the other brands do it and succeed! Canon always bring the cripple hammer in the game no matter what... I don't like it and I won't live with it... period! If you are ok with it then it's your problem..!

You sound like a child having a tantrum.

 

[mariosk1gr]

You sound like a child having a tantrum.

Yes I may sound like a child because I was hoping for one time Canon not screw up like this again! When Canon is marketing all around the web "the fx3 killer" and they forget to put one of the most critical things into the camera which is "IBIS" then how this is "fx3 killer"? We wil keeping disagree to the end of time... so let's finish it here.
