Well, just see the review that got out right now from dpreview.
In resume, a superb camera! The only drawback? In video the overheating.
But let me clarify some of Jordan´s criticism.
- 30 minutes record time. I do understand it can be an issue for some, but it is not for the majority. Content creators or documentary filmmakers never shoots for 30 minutes straight. I believe it´s bad for interviews, but it´s the only issue.
- line skipping 4k. I don´t get it....really. Canon Gives you a 4k non crop (the criticism of the EOS R was the crop...) and now criticism is line skipping. It may nt he the crispy of the images because you now have an insane mode (4kHQ) to compare. But if you need 4k that line skipping will be more than enough!!
- overheating. From my perspective, overheating is not the major concern, the major concern is heating dissipation which leads to a big amount of time to camera record again. So the recovery is the biggest problem. All of the tests we have seen are straight recording times. But no one records 35 minutes straight unless you are interviewing someone or in some occasions you just leave camera rolling. But this is a minority of situations. I believe that if you film in a responsible way, thinking the shots before you hit the button, if you record 30 seconds or less of footage the camera will hold on for long time. Even in 4k120fps!! My usual record time for a 4k120fps situation is about 10/15 seconds a shot!!!!! So if you have 17 minutes of recording time...Just do the maths, how many footage you can get! Now what concerns me a bit is the overheating in between, when you are not filming and the camera keeps generating heat. I have to learn techniques to mitigate the problem.
And to finish, just use a god damn external monitor/recorder. It will solve eating problem and also it will save you a LOT money in CFEXPRESS cards. I bought a 64gb CFexpress just to have when not recording in external recorder. I pay 120€ for the card. With 200€ i can get a 1TB SSD to record in atomos! So you can see the difference! And also you will get a prores codec transcoding which will give you better handling files to edit.
Come on guys....3 weeks ago we didn´t even had a mirrorless FULLFRAME camera that could record more than 4k30fps....Now you have a camera that not only record 4k60, but also 4k120, 8k, 8k RAW and a stunning 4k HQ the best 4k in the market! And we are only talking about overheat?? Come on, start talking about that SUPERB 4K HQ!!
Internet is full of Sony reviewers/fanboys! This is the first long review I see about the EOS R5. All the others are just talking about overheating and everybody seems to have an A7s3 to praise!
Canon needs to invest in marketing! Sorry not marketing....Rubbish youtubers that spread lies and misleading opinions...
So here is the link of this guys! They are "Sony guys" but at least they are quite honest in the reviews. I like them, but i do Think Jordan´s is a very Sony fanboy....Between praising the highlights of the camera he chooses and insist in talking more about the downsides. But it´s ok.
