Yes hopefully real reviews and samples should start rolling in this week .2nd report of ISO being usable up to 12K. Can't wait to see stills samples.

You realize a 135/1.4 would need only a slightly smaller front element diameter than a 300/2.8? Are you prepared to pay $8K for that 135/1.4? The RF 135mm L might be f/1.8, but it will not be f/1.4. That's fantasyland.
Yes I’m sure your right. When the director asks why his set is shut down and he can’t shoot you can tell him that everything is fine because the camera shut down before it overheated. Honestly, I have no idea what the extent of the problem is but pretending there isn’t a problem rarely helps IME.This "overheating Issue" is getting tiresome.
The Camera is not overheating, it appears to be activating it's thermal protection protocols and warning the user to stop recording or let the camera cool off. If the user chooses to ignore the thermal protection warning then the Camera will shut off to protect itself. This is a feature of the system and appears to have been well tested as there are stated limits included in what I assume is the manual.
If the cameras are cooking themselves without a user facing warning or protection that in my mind is an overheat. If the system is randomly shutting off due to heat that is an overheat.
I choose to assume that Canon being historically careful about the quality and MTBF on their systems the protection protocols are aggressive to ensure the heat soaking of the system is well below the component damaging limits.
In my day job at Avigilon we test Cameras all the time in Thermotron chambers and I have seen my fair share of platforms that do not trigger thermal protection (mostly hikvision) and just cook @60 degrees Celsius.
IMO this has been just way overblown

So the real world reviews are starting
I should imagine we will see all this in the week as more reviews roll out .May be a bit better, but for high ISO he clearly uses the jpegs, we're yet to see the raw files to analyse the DR and high ISO.
I’m not portraying anything. I was speakiing to the spectacle of Canon’s treasured new camera depicted as going up in flames in dozens of YouTube videos. If you think that’s helpful to Canon’s interests I don’t know what else to say. Find another straw manDid you watch one of the other videos posted earlier. Guy was one of the people shooting on pro sets. He says even for RED they have 3-4 units lined up to shoot with because they crap out on them. He said if it's being used on a pro set, there would be several of them to work around the thermal time limits. I don't think any of us should pretend we know what it's like on a set unless we've had that experience.
The higher end settings have time-based thermal limits. Can that be an issue in some situations? Perhaps. But is that a "problem" in the way you're portraying? I don't think so, personally.
Let's face it as sure as eggs are eggs there are two things that always happen when Canon release a new camera 1. Their example pics are shit. 2. The internet has to find it's Achilles heal something.... Anything.... Please God let me be the one that finds the fatal flaw..,... Please let me be the people's hero...
If I told the Director I just had one camera I would already be fired. Come on...Yes I’m sure your right. When the director asks why his set is shut down and he can’t shoot you can tell him that everything is fine because the camera shut down before it overheated. Honestly, I have no idea what the extent of the problem is but pretending there isn’t a problem rarely helps IME.
It might have been depicted as going up in flames on You Tube videos , but this has all been by people who have never put their hands on one , until people start using it in the real world its all BS .I’m not portraying anything.

You're probably one of those who put tape over the logo on the top front of the camera, aren't you? Because you think you're such an influential photographer and all that they should pay you to use their gear?

Exactly. And that point was made in Armando’s video very well.Who is going to be using this "on set" as an A CAM? Am I way off base here? Who is shooting on set, with a director, etc on a single $3800 camera body? Is studio city really filled up with DPs who are like "yeah, gimme that S1H for my Netflix shoot!"
You use the video features on a camera like this situationally. I'm sorry Canon didn't give the world a R5c, and they oversold it to a degree. (And before bashing 'canon marketing' again lets not forget their entire launch plan got thrown out the window by a global pandemic)
Define the problem? Have you ever been involved in a product launch? If not I can assure you that videos depicting your product going up in flames are not desirable. Making important influencers pissed of at you; also not desirable. Do I really need to explain this to you. It seems pretty basic.If I told the Director I just had one camera I would already be fired. Come on...
Please define Problem
Having 2 cameras and underwater housings was the only solution if you wanted more than 36 shots underwater in one dive!The simple solution is more than one body, and a chiller for the one that's cooling down. Like swapping out batteries instead of shutting down waiting for your only battery to recharge. Even a little forced air tent, powered by a camera battery, would reduce recovery time.
Nothing screams, "Presumptuous photographer who likes to taunt overpriced branding" like anyone wearing a Black Rapid strap with the bright yellow "BR" logo prominently displayed on the upper left chest of the wearer.
Exactly. And that point was made in Armando’s video very well.
No one. No one is trying to use this as an 8K A Cam, if that was their hope they obviously aren't serious about video work. I honestly don't even think they oversold it. If this is basically a 5D5 but Mirrorless I'm more than happy.Who is going to be using this "on set" as an A CAM? Am I way off base here?

I'm being pretty defensive here, but the above question is an honest one: Am I just way off base about the realities of modern video production?
You have figured it all out.Yes I’m sure your right. When the director asks why his set is shut down and he can’t shoot you can tell him that everything is fine because the camera shut down before it overheated. Honestly, I have no idea what the extent of the problem is but pretending there isn’t a problem rarely helps IME.
