I'd rather they added the focus stacking from the RP, bought my EOS R as a stills camera, not bothered about video.

Yet they unfortunately put an SDI connector on the C200 that is not capable of handling a RAW stream, or even 4k. It has a nice 422 10 bit 2k though.
I'll admit I was disappointed when the R was released with a heavy crop for 4k video. But in the time that it has been out a lot of professional cinematographers have given it praise. The 4k footage is solid and grades very well. The A7 III may be FF 4k but its bitrate is...dare I say it...crippled by comparison to the R. And now the R is adding external RAW? Cinematographers are going to love it. And yes, they will rig an external recorder (which they normally do any way) and deal with a 1.8x crop (which is a small crop from S35) to get RAW footage.
Honestly, having watched a number of reviews and sample short films, I think the X-T3 is the real competition. Very sharp 4k straight ooc. 400 Mbps. And if you don't want to grade footage, the Eterna profile. I've seen good R footage and poor R footage (with that crop lens sharpness is very important to getting the most out of it). I've seen good A73 footage and poor A73 footage (it can literally fall apart with a heavy grade). But the X-T3? I haven't seen anything but excellent 4k footage off that camera. And 4k60p slowed down to 24p has a really nice effect.
It's funny because when the R dropped I thought "no FF 4k? Looks like I'll buy an A73 soon." But I've waited and I'm glad I waited because at this point the A73 is dead last on my wish list. If I get a cinema camera it's going to be the X-T3 or the R.
That's quite funny as the EOS R has pretty bad 4K or should I say more like 2.5K at best. It's trounced by APS-C cameras.Canon is really ramping their game up. I keep fighting the urge to buy an EOS R, but these video specs are making it tough...
You mean, Super 35?nice, aps-c cropped 4k in raw....lol
What is broken? Canon is adding some features to the new model mirrorless that were likely planned for inclusion or requested by big budget organizations that spend $$$$$$ on cameras. Canon is working on the 5D MK IV replacement and will not add features at this point. They have already publically announced pulling people from R&D to be able to ramp up mirrorless products.No firmware update for 5DIV ?

I'm not a video guy but would someone explain why external RAW is a big feature?

No, it has some pretty bad reviewers who are trashing it. Potato Jet did a YouTube review with Armando and the R held its own rather well against the A73. They did blow up comparisons of individual frames and while the A73 was sharper/more detailed, it was by such a small amount that it would be easy to miss under normal viewing conditions. It should be noted that Armando added an R to his arsenal after their collaboration.
Given the heavy crop lens sharpness plays a much larger role in the R's 4k footage, and I suspect the people getting soft or bad footage simply aren't using glass that's up to the challenge.

Never heard of potato jet, but the resolution is just not anywhere near 4K.
Yeah , it could be $5,000.00 up for body only. Can't afford.What is broken?

What MUST be added, , when set on "manual", is a much longer exposure measuring time (currently about 6 sec.).What is broken?

You also appear to minimize the crop factor - that's a big deal - a REALLY BIG DEAL, at least to most people.
The footage from the X-T3 is better than the R when you use f-log - I rented them both. It's not even a fair comparison though. Really the $1300 RP vs. the X-T3 is fair, and the RP doesn't even have 4k video. You also appear to minimize the crop factor - that's a big deal - a REALLY BIG DEAL, at least to most people. I mean, when you spend that much $$$$ on a body to have a FF sensor, and it's so weak it can't even use it? /facepalm
