Gordon Laing reviews the 8K quality from the Canon EOS R5

Canon, this is mission control Houston, firmware status check, are we go or no go for R5 Firmware release, count down stands at T-minus 7 days and counting.

True, if and when Canon adds 8k output via HDMI

From what I heard the HDMI port on the R5 doesn't support the bandwidth required for 8K. Unless they do some compression in camera first; I don't see 8K being able to be recorded externally. This is a hardware limitation; not software so firmware won't resolve it (unless they are doing in camera compression).

I pointed that out when Atamos announced the V+ for 8k external recording. Canon themselves say the HDMI port is not capable of external 8k. However both Atamos and Canon have partnered for the V+ and both say it will have 8k external.

From the new firmware just released; you are correct. I am surprised.

Using the Ninja V+ you can get Prores 8k and work around the overheating issues

They did it!
