So the Canon R5 runs longer in mid day heat than the Sony , who would of thought that .

Always but if you watch the video the Sony shuts down first .Next youtuber will claim the opposite.
It certainly surprised me .Yeah, interesting that the Sony was actually running a couple degrees hotter than the Canon at 20 minutes in. So perhaps not just a matter of software limits to protect hardware.
thanks for sharing
Next youtuber will claim the opposite.
Why the 'buy buy Sony' bitching? Both Sony and Canon will stay around, as well as other brands. Fortunately! There would be much less advance without competition.
First of all its bye bye not buy buy , and it was made in reference to their latest camera not Sony as a company , Sony fan boys have had weeks of stirring over the R5 and R6 , so I thought a bit of light banter back wouldn't do no harm , considering the new camera from Sony suffers the same heating issue .Next youtuber will claim the opposite.

Indeed, didn't realize what my fingers were typing...First of all its bye bye not buy buy ,
What I find the most 'humorous' is that the only thing that mattered prior to the release of the R5 and 6 was dynamic range and the overheating of sonys was never an issue for sony shooters. Now apparently dynamic range is not a deciding factor but overheating is the big factor. Whereas the reality is that DR was never an issue and that if you seriously think a camera is for video then you should get a damn video camera. Nor a stills camera that shoots video. Either way these both look like pretty damn good cameras. Especially now that sony seem to have learnt that ergonomics matterI'm wondering if these guys have any experience with Sony Alpha cameras? Both reviewers left the Auto Pwr Temp Off to Standard.
The first video claims the camera froze when it was set to Auto Pwr Off set to HIGH and corrupted his memory card, so he left it to standard and it "overheated" before the Canon cameras. Yes, my A73 will get into an overheat position way before the 90mins I get if the setting is set to standard. But it has never corrupted my memory cards or frozen the camera, so there must be something with his pre-production unit as just about all others tests from Gerald Undone to Northrup to Kai were getting significantly more runtime.
The second video was kind of cagey until later he admitted he left the camera to Standard as well. Yes, 20 mins will trigger a warning and a shutdown soon after. I'm sure this get clicks and ad revenue, but leaves their testing methodology in doubt.
With all of the drama surrounding overheating these days, I'm not sure Sony would claim at least an hour in 4k60 and 30mins in 4k120 if those were not WAY MORE CONSERVATIVE than what it could do in real world tests. They must realize that if one of its biggest selling features are no good, then the product might find itself having no real reasons to exist..
Well, I pre-ordered anyways, so I'm all-in one way or another.

When I hear about these Auto Pwr Off settings, I start I wonder if the limits on the Canon R5 are purely artificial and driven by software in the camera? In other words, could this recording and overheating issue be fixed via firmware updates?
On the flip side, when you adjust the Power settings on the Sony, could it be that you’re actually damaging the camera over time and may not see the internal damage that may be emerging within the camera in years to come? It also seems quite strange when you see the massive difference in record times between these two Power settings.
Either Canon is being too conservative with their settings and they need to modify these with firmware updates, or Sony is willing to let their cameras “toast” with underlying damage years later?
Yeah baby, Sony screw! Me like it!Maybe there are some good screws in them that will work when I need a tiny one.
