Canon EOS R5 Specifications
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
The 1DX III does ~ 5500*2900*60 Pixel/second in its RAW video mode, which has no AF.
That's basically the same throughput as 8K 30p RAW video, 4K 120p video and 45 MP 20 FPS stills. So technically it actually sounds plausible - this should all be without AF though! And the 4K options will get a brutal crop or have line skipping. Nonetheless, gorgeous specs. I'm hyped, let's hope this Info will actually transform into reality.

8K timelapse? Party like it's 2015, Canon! (Sony A7Rii, 42 MP "raw timelapse" capable...)
I'm suspecting that any 4K video better than 30p MP4 is indeed going to be cropped.
4K 30p, both full-sensor and RAW, would already be unprecedented. It would totally steal the thunder from Nikon's 4K RAW external recording, and would put Sony's long reign of un-cropped full-frame 4K video to shame...

I believe this rumor is true. Didn’t Canon announce a while back ago that they would step up their game? It seems obvious that Canon has to do something aggressive to gain a larger portion of the higher end mirrorless market. Sony has gained a stronger position in that market than Canon can be comfortable with.
I am very curious to see the design, the ergonomics and button layout. I hope And believe they adapt many of the 5D series solutions. I really hope they add that new AF optical AF point selector on a AF back button, as seen on the 1DXIII.
Another major challenge I wonder if Canon has solved, is the somewhat laggy response the R suffers from. By that I mean the R doesn’t really respond very fast when you press the shutter. It seems that the camera need a little time to fine tune it’s focus before it release the shutter. Don’t get me wrong, that is a good priority on Canon’s side, but it makes the shooting experience less satisfying. Pick up a 1DX and hit the shutter, compare to the R, and you will understand what I mean.
I have little doubt it will have two card slots. It will be interesting to see how they have improved the sensor performance.

Fantasy specs I’d say. A camera like that would Canon playing their full hand. Nice if true but my expectations are lower.

Yeah, but in stills mode, the 1DX3 also does "only" 20 FPS, yet this camera is claiming 20 FPS @ 45MP with electronic shutter.
So, it begs the question, did they limit the 1DX3's stills throughput, when it could possibly do 30 FPS or 40 FPS RAW stills, without AF?
I suspect that there is a lot more to these exciting numbers than we're getting. It's very likely that each spec has one or two serious caveats that totally changes the "shock factor" of each number at first glance...

An attempt at some business logic justifying this alleged plan of Canon's:
If canon were going to shutter its cine line over the next couple of years and consolidate the functionalities in R bodies, they could expect to increase per-camera margins. They charge $16k for the C500 and about half that for the C300. If they charged $6000 for the R5 and put 80 percent of the C300's functionality into it, they'd make a much better margin based on running just one line and having better economies of scale. The problem, of course, is that there are legit cine-only pieces of functionality that just wouldn't work out with a hybrid body.
An alternative: Canon believes its cineasts wouldn't adopt an R body, so loading up the R5 with features won't actually hurt the cine business line because the videographers need their ND filters built in, etc.
The more I war game the strategy side of this, the less that spec list makes any sense - even stipulating that it made sense as a likely spec list in the first place.

That's the same way my Olympus handles it. The point is (that I was making) that any lens will work... including EF and non-reporting lenses.

Electronic shutter will suffer from rolling shutter effect on moving subjects. A compromise that they would never allow on their fabulous flagship body, I think.
But the 1DX is definitely limited in it's stills speed. Keep in mind that the M6 II has a crop mode with an electronic shutter that does 30 FPS at 18 MP, and even though that's only 12 bit, it outperforms the 1DX III in speed and throughput - and that's with AF mind you!

Just Timelapses? With very good DR and lowlight capabilities? Need MF (with an EF adapter)? Sony maybe? Need LR presets for free because of Sony's color science?.. Switch or wait!...

Well we just got Full Frame and RAW in the 1DX3 soooo.... (as there is no mention of AF in these specs either)
And the Nikon Z I'm assuming is what you mean, and that is ProRes RAW out. Not regular RAW.
