Someone who likes to hear himself speak. I watched a two minutes of it, but was bored to death. I can't imagine anyone who could watch almost 25 minutes of this. Maybe it gets better, maybe not, but I had already wasted enough time. He does not know any more that what has already been published.
Well, honestly, since there was no content to his commentary, which is 100% comprised of pseudo-intellectual styling without any substance whatsoever, it's a bit hard to react to his commentary other than to critique his delivery, which seems to be very derivative of the Jeff Goldblum school of narration, except that Goldblum actually knows his performances are parodies.I was hoping there'd might be some reaction to his commentary at some point. I guess people just want to talk about style these days. Maybe Canon should forget actual content and just work on styling as that's all that anyone cares about :-D
??? He made some points:without any substance whatsoever
??? He made some points:
-- as exciting as the 8k is, it's probably useless as no-one can display 8k except Imax and they have their own cameras for that
-- therefore the R6 may be the one that actually sells: if you se aside the 8k, then the next biggest reason to go Canon is the lenses and the R6 gives you that.
-- although the camera at first glance should bury Sony, it may be expensive enough that despite outspeccing the Sony the Sony survives fine
-- however, the R6 may be cheap enough that it steals sales from the small-sensor video-champ Fujis and Panasonics.
I can't imagine how you didn't hear any substance. Were you watching the same video?
Funny how different people are. From reading the 5R specs, you focus on the 8k video while I never considered it relevant. Go figure...??? He made some points:

But does the 8k or the 4k allow for decent still captures? I'm not sure of the term, maybe "frame grab" or something along those lines?...
I'll defer to others who have more experience than I, but I would issue this caveat. From what I understand, it is hard if not impossible to have both good video and good stills. You have to choose one or the other. Why?
Good video relies on some intentional blurring between frames. That why video is traditionally shot at a shutter speed that is double the frames per second. For example, if you shoot at 30 fps, you want to use a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second. With video, you don't want to stop the action, you want to "smear" it a bit between frames. So, yeah, I suppose you could shoot 8K action at 1/1000 of a second shutter speed and have tons of frames to choose from (if you really have the time to go through them all) but you won't get decent video.
I will probably be told I am wrong, but that is my understanding.

Well, at least he has the courage of his convictions and shares his supporting reasoning. Even if mistaken, he's trying. You're not.Umm... all of those points are wrong.

Studios were happy to resell movies in improving quality over the years. They'll be happy to shoot movies in 8K so they could sell it in 4K now and resell it in 8K in a few years.

Yes, they're for sale, but the video above reports that they're 2/10 of 1% of sales. https://www.statista.com/statistics/818419/world-tv-market-share-by-type/From a few minutes with Google, it seems there are 8K TVs from several manufacturers released over the last few years.

Finally, Canon might be selling 8K in MILC in order to fix any glitches before it sells it in cinema cameras.
I only remember one AF-related patch and I don't recall it being that momentous. Is there any chance the R was great all along?Firmware fixes had markedly improved AF by then.
