8K recording options for the Canon EOS R5 leak

[DBounce]

So, we can safely assume that the body is at least 36 MP. No word on AF yet. Can wait to determine if this is a Sony killer.

The sensor crops the top and bottom of the image to render full width 4K. So the sensor resolution would have to be somewhere in the ~42MP range.

Can’t wait... now the main open questions are:
1. What will rolling shutter be like?... global shutter please Canon:-D
2. How much dynamic range can we expect?... Please have DGO technology... pretty please.
If they squeezed in these two features the competition... wait... there would be no competition.

 

[Grimbald]

how did you arrive at this number?

Whops, I meant to type 44.7.

The wide is (at least) 8192 Pixels, therefore it has to be 5462 Pixels in height (so that the sensor keeps it's 3:2 ratio for stills)

Why would anyone want to kill a Sony?

yes that makes sense

Even with all of us on here talking about this for months now.... I am still going cross eyed in
Total disbelief and exited anticipation seeing this. It’s really getting real now. And it’s Effing insane. Bring on July 9th!!! The new Canon Independence Day!!!!!

Apparently this was a 512gb card so 3.25 gb, 400 megabytes a second in 8k raw

C 1dx3 has 2800 mbs in raw @ 5.5 k, and R5 on only 400 mbs @ 8k. Sounds unreal.

Megabytes not megabits. Multiply it by 8

Yes, that doesn’t sound right does it. One of the assumptions that went into that 400 MBs numbers must be off. I think my 1DX2 is 500MBs at 24p although mjpeg is a data hog.

Edit: got it. Mixing my Bits and bytes again.

If they announce that it has GS and DGO, you don't need to buy it. You need to take every penny that you were gonna spend on it and buy lottery tickets, because it's your lucky day.

Seems like this is targeting explaining the two modes that basically no other camera in its price point has; which in the past has meant Canon would cripple them in some way to render them little more than marketing specs.

Im hopeful this means that era is over; which is wild since so much of the EOS RP was insane crippling

I'm hopeful as well that the crippling era is over; with that being said I do think the RP is a bad example...at that price point I think Canon will always pull out the cripple hammer otherwise no one would ever buy any other model.

What I never understood was crippling their flagships like the 5DIV or how long it took for them to re-focus on the DSLR video market. I'm almost ready to believe that Canon really did have some fatal flaws in their CPUs and had to develop a new generation of processors to safely overcome their limitations without overheating or instability.

Can we get 6k also?

And how about 1080p? How many FPS? 240-300? This would be insane !
Also: How about a option to have crop? For wildlife and birding...its nice to have a crop

 

[Warrenl]

Why can't I have that menu option in my 1DXIII???? I have to scroll through so may options to find what I want.

PLEASE stop using that word! It's patently gross but also wildly inaccurate. It implies 'cannot do very much at all'. If a ship is "crippled" during a battle, it's essentially out of the fight. 'Not being able to do everything because it's built to a budget' is nothing like that.

Also curious if the 21:31 limit is storage capacity limit or an artificial limit. I.E. if you had one of the recently announced 2TB CFAST cards would it increase beyond that 21:31?

The R5 will use CFexpress, not CFast cards

 

[neo302]

Very curious about the rolling shutter. So far, this camera sounds so amazing (as we all of course know), it will be hard to resist...

 

[Kit.]

If they announce that it has GS and DGO, you don't need to buy it. You need to take every penny that you were gonna spend on it and buy lottery tickets, because it's your lucky day.

As someone who is going to use R5 for stills (and not video) 99.9% of the time, I'd prefer it to have neither.

 

[PhotoRN86]

Does anyone think it will shoot FULL HD Raw? That would remind me of the good ol 5DMK3 Magic Lantern days

 

[Cbenedict]

It's 47 MP

I'm going to guess 50.3 MP with that width

 

[highdesertmesa]

Me: not caring about the video except to see 8K DCI confirmed, meaning 45mp+ resolution instead of 39mp if 8K had not been DCI.

Also me: pulling out credit card and putting it on the nightstand to be ready on the morning of the 9th.
