What i think is going to happen is a new RC camera that is getting away from the R5 space because lets face it, 8k files are massive and requires a lot of power. Seeing the latest C80 and C400 cameras, i can see Canon pushing some sort of 6k FF stacked sensor that can shoot up to 60fps in internal RAW, no internal ND's, internal cooling like the R5C, no IBIS, clog 2 and 3, CF Express Type B/SD Card slot, cinema menu of course, new AF from the c80/c400 or newer, all in a small form factor and to avoid crossing into C80 and C400 territory. Hopefully even have built in wifi for remote monitoring/control unlike the R5C where you need a $1k battery grip attachment.
Let's see what happens. I'm still hopeful of a R5Cii using 8k RAW/4K SRAW formats to combat the need to film in 8k.
I shoot everything in 12 bit internal raw to get the best possible image. Storage gets purged often but so far has not really been too big of an issue, could just be better to work in post with. I use Davinci Resolve so it's not that bad. Praying for ya'll in Premiere Pro trying to work with the Canon RAW files.
Cheers to 2025!
