External RAW on EOS R?
Did canon management change?

Canon is really ramping their game up. I keep fighting the urge to buy an EOS R, but these video specs are making it tough...
Apart from the rolling shutter, the EOS R's image might top the C100 series and probably not that far off the C200.
This is not very Canon-like to be honest (so I am quite sceptical), but it would enable them to keep selling this camera for video purposes as well (and those pricey EF ND adapters could be in high demand), and of course Atomos probably made some kind of a deal with them, too because now their recorder is certainly more attractive.

nice, aps-c cropped 4k in raw....lol
You mean like all RAW capable cameras on the market? Excluding the pocket cinema which is even smaller with its 4/3 sensor... this is amazing news!!! I might get the sigma 18-35 now along the atomos ninja 5. Wow!!
This is a reason that would get me to buy the EOS R. IBIS would be another, but that will arrive in the R Mark II!
No, no change. Their wives told them finally what to do.
The camera is weak. With this, who knows, maybe a Christmas gift? Let's see how the eye focus improvement looks like.
I imagine that Atomos made the same deal with Canon that they made with Nikon for the Z6 and Z7 that is supposed to record external pro res raw to the new Ninja recorder, not complete raw. Either way, I'll buy one same day if they do it. Now only if the darn thing would capture DCI 4k instead of UHD...
I'm not a video guy but would someone explain why external RAW is a big feature?
Just received the Ninja and haven’t even unboxed it yet... then I see this! Just hope it’s true!
You mean nearly identical to Super35?
Identical to Super 35 with horrendous rolling shutter
Now if Canon announced a firmware update to make the EOS-R do FF 4K 60p, that would really be surprising. But they're not going to do that.
Have you seen some footage of what the 1DC is being capable of with that horrendous rolling shutter? (While the 4k sensor area is much bigger, it is still only 8-bit 4:2:2 MJPEG, a far cry from ProRes RAW, no AF, no peaking, etc...)Identical to Super 35 with horrendous rolling shutter

Main line is: it is still better than anything we've had before from Canon at this price range (if it turns out to be true)
You get much wider range of adjustments on the files, much closer to what you can achieve with any photo editing software in stills, so better color and better dynamic range (less compression, although in this case, the internal codec is already pretty strong in that regard)
If you look up 5D Mark III raw video, you can see how much better it can be, although that camera had soft video even after hacking (but you still see the color and the dynamic range being different), while in this case the 4k will be very sharp and free of artifacts. This is generally what you see in recent Netflix or other shows, where they also record in raw with professional video cameras and grade it later on.
5D3 guy here with MLV RAW
and I was looking at BMPCC4k + EF Speedbooster (or wait for A7SIII)
If this external RAW is true, surely I'll be getting EOS R instead.
