No, but it might have DPAF .
Is DPRAW enough information to build a depth map with? To drag this conversation back to reality, given the frame rates the R5 is supposedly able to crunch, DPRAW could be a lot more usable on this camera.

Have you looked into the HEIF format? It's supported by Apple & Canon (and others I'm sure) but is not supported by most things I use (eg DXO photolab or Costo photo upload).
Why aren't you shooting RAW?
Just curious....not much need these days with disk space being cheap, etc.

I do shoot raw. In fact, I only shoot raw.Why aren't you shooting RAW?

Agreed. If it can shoot 8k concurrently with DPAF, there is a LOT of data throughput capacity. If DPAF can tell a lens where to focus, then, yes there ought to be enough info to at least build a rudimentary depth map.Is DPRAW enough information to build a depth map with?

Well, if I had access to the R&D that has been claimed, I would probably have access to enough technology, possibly additional small cellphone-like lenses & 3D sensing software, to create a fast accurate depth map. Or maybe they just quickly scan the whole range of focus of the main lens to do it if they want the max. resolution, otherwise use whatever depth resolution they get from the DP or QP(quad pixel) etc sensor.So this 240fps global gigapixel sensor ALSO has a LIDAR array or stereo imaging to produce a depth map. Got it!
I hear you, bro. To each his own. For people who can take advantage of it, 8K is handy. For those who don't need it, obviously this camera isn't for them.If it makes you money then by all means go for it. I have no problem with being on the cutting edge, I'm simply considering profit vs investment ratio. I'd love to see your work, I'm a fan of all good photography & video.
I'm going to give Canon the benefit of the doubt because they've consistently undersold their tech specs for many years now, even though their products consistently do great work. This is why people also berate Canon for not having enough bells and whistles like the other brands. So the fact that Canon dares to publish these numbers so loudly, I think it's a show of confidence.We don't know yet how the actual footage quality looks on R5. Many cameras have great specs on paper but the actual footage is not great, due to some bad compression, lousy codec or something.
But yes, the specs looks very good. For my personal use I'm still curious if the 1080p will go beyond 120fps. If yes, next question is if it's still does DPAF. One of my disappointments with 5D4 was that DPAF worked only up to 60fps.

After reading your response, there was so much far-out stuff claimed that I first thought that this was a really good practical joke. On second thought it must be an April 1st joke. On third thought it's too late for that so maybe it's just an April month joke. On fourth thought I'm starting to wonder if you're actualy serious (at the great peril of being the the butt of enormous laughter at possibly taking this seriously).
I happen to be a retired video arcade programmer & designer and video console programmer, so I've had a lot of experience in the earlier days of technology that touches on what you mention. So I've got a few comments to mention about what you've said:
I did a lot of work on image compression. My favorite technique for fast stills compression & decompression was wavelet compression. So your mention of it made me wonder if this is for real.
You mentioned a 575 teraflop per chip development. I did a lot of low level assembly programming on advanced 128 bit SIMD (single instruction multiple data) processors. The one thing you mentioned which makes me wonder about your story is your use of BCD (binary coded decimal) - whose usage seems an echo of long ago years and I see no use for it in current designs, and it makes me think this is indeed a ruse. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
You mentioned your company has an in-house SSTO (single stage to orbit) reusable vehicle which you imply is currently working for your use. Does this have anything to do with SWALA Aerospace, or John Hollaway? This is a really really far out thing to say your company has working. So please convince me otherwise.
You have mentioned a ton of inside information about remarkable technoloy, without mentioning the company for verification. But anyone in your industry should be able to figure out who it is by the city and details you've mentioned. So why not mention it here? All in all, you can see why I am very wary of the validity of what you mention.
Your statements are remarkable, either in the very advanced technology developed if true, or the sheer informed brilliance of your ruse if not. When this pandemic and travel restrictions are over, I (& my wife) are planning a trip to the Glacier N.P. and Banff areas as well as the Pacific northwest of the US & Canada. If what you say it true, I would love to stop by and meet you, and get a tour of your facilities if that's allowed. ... Interested?
Why on earth would a camera record RGBA files? What are you using the alpha channel for??
++++ We are completely under the radar and only a Revenue Canada investigation (i.e. only CRA aka the Canadian Government knows!) would be able to dig out the name of the owner(s).
A.M.: Harry is the official Company nominated CR forum member responsible for the interstellar public relationships and also development of all the above top secret Space Command software development projects...
++++ It's all REAL !!!
A.M.: Who would have thought...
So this 240fps global gigapixel sensor ALSO has a LIDAR array or stereo imaging to produce a depth map. Got it!
Holy shit, what does any of this have to do with the R5? Just a little off track...

This discussion is being played out here on the R5 thread BECAUSE new super large sensor Medium Format camera, large sensor super-smartphone and 128-bit desktop supercomputing technology is about to be released showcasing that Canon, Sony, Fuji, Nikon, Panasonic, Arri, Hasselblad, Phase One, Olympus and even Pentax ARE NOT the only games in town!
Someone much bigger and more aggressive is coming out to play and THEIR upcoming new products will UTTERLY SHOCK YOU ALL into a stone cold draw-dropping stupor !!!
Don't get me wrong! This new Canon R5 is a FANTASTIC PRODUCT for it's upcoming body-only price point of probably around $3600 US! If you're a Youtube vLogger or a New York/London/Hong Kong/Berlin/Tokyo/Vancouver/Moscow hipster documentary, studio or street photographer or a debutante film school grad, then THIS Canon R5 is the camera you want for your 24 fps 8k cinema videos and/or your Studio-quality 36 inch Prints!
HOWEVER, what is coming out fairly soon now, are the SUPER PRO-LEVEL CAMERA AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS that will take video and still photography to THE NEXT LEVEL !!!! What is coming out is a NEW WORLD of Video-centric AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality) and Premium-level Stills photography that will SURPASS ALL that is currently offered by Arri Alexa and Sony Venice for video and that from Phase One/Hasselblad/Fuji for medium format stills!
What is coming IS THE BIG KAHUNA BURGER of Combined Video/Stills MF cameras and large sensor super-smartphones AND I can definitely tell you that this IS a tasty burger!
And YOU WILL wash all of it down with this tasty beverage of very alcoholic red fruit drink cider!
AND YOU WILL VAROCIOUSLY ENJOY PAYING DEARLY FOR IT ALL !!!
Thank You and Good Night!

Maybe something this big and space consuming should have its own thread ( or even its own forum). It shouldn’t have to compete with distracting trivia like the upcoming R5.---

That would be welcome and is probably the only thing you have said I'd embrace or you got right.Good Night!
