Actually MJPEG is a horrendous codec from a storage standpoint and is the sole reason why I consider my 5DIV's 4K to be completely unusable. You can't film a 4hr fashion show using MJPEG or pretty much anything of importance with it. If they put that codec in the R5 it will be the sole reason I do not get it.Yeah that's a great point. Makes me wonder too. Space savings can result in horrendous post workflow during edit if one's computer isn't capable, for mere motals like me. Storage space can be bought. But not time.
Yes my dream is the R6 is a less video, great low light version of the R5. Same body.Crazy pants!! So awesome, but I’m really hoping the actual R6 specs will be just as impressive, without the 8k obviously. I don’t need or want that many megapixels, but I want all the awesomeness!
Yes yes yesScrap the 8K and give me those specs on 20-24mp R6 and I'm a very very happy person!
I will use 8k.Thing is almost nobody want those 8k! Or better, almost nobody will use it! But it´s not the 8k itself! It´s Canon dominating! It´s Canon saying yes we can do it and we are the best! AND I FREAKING LOVE IT in a brand! Of course most of us will not use it but will be great to have! Also that means better 4k files and better overall video specs! And that´s the juice! For me is more important 4k120fps than the 8k.
I am loving this camera already! From a wildlife photographer and videographer this camera is reaching everything we desire!I will definitely preorder this one and for the first time in my life I will preorder something! It´s just a pain to wait for it...And hopefully we can have a reasonable number of cameras in July or sooner, why not! Canon, my birthday is on 23rd June, this would be a hell of a present!
BTW, today i started building my R sistem. I bought a EOS R and a RF35mm. My firsts of the RF and R sistem! Happy!
Canon’s biggest successes, for me at least, are when they go all in. Like they did with the 350d, the 5d2, 7d, 1dx, 5d4, and now the R5. Same with lenses, all RF-L’s, 35 L II, 135 f2, 24-70 L II, 200 f1.8, 50 f1.0 etc etc etc...
This might be the biggest “all in” of them all.. I predict a MASSIVE success...
The Wex video is pretty much official because they actually show a camera and would have had Canon UK divulge those newly announced features.Can we just get an official announcement and specs list?
I would absolutely use 8K. Not very often, but shooting in 8K and delivering in 1080P would provide some incredible pan, crop, recomposition options. You could add dolly, slider, and gimbal motion to your footage without ever leaving a tripod.Thing is almost nobody want those 8k! Or better, almost nobody will use it! But it´s not the 8k itself!

Just judging by the reaction on this forum, I suspect there are quite a few photography consumers who are insulated from all but the most extreme economic downturns. That's one advantage that camera manufacturers now have. They lost the average consumer to cell phone cameras and are concentrating on enthusiasts with disposable income. Smaller, but much more profitable market. If the current health crisis proves to be short-lived, demand will not be impacted significantly. If it is not, well...then all bets are off.As someone who has been immediately impacted by work shortages due to the current health crisis and cancellation of events globally, I wonder how this new body's release will go over for some. Unless the section of the economy which affects us rebounds sooner than not, I'll continue looking forward to a late adopter stance if not refurb. Especially as these video specs roll in and as a stills only shooter, it looks to be higher priced initially than I first surmised.
