Yep, its possible. I can't imagine the heat generated by chewing on all that data will be too good though.

Yep, its possible. I can't imagine the heat generated by chewing on all that data will be too good though.
As a photographer that doesn't use the video this is disappointing to hear. The animal eye focus tracks well in the VF but 9 out 10 shots I pull up on the computer are out of focus. It would be nice to see this fixed. I have combed thru the forums and been trying the various methods folks have offered up to others to resolve this issue such as higher shutter speeds and shutting off IS when doing so. Even when using a tripod I am getting back focus even though the animal tracking shows to be right on target in the EVF.. It would also be nice to use the Canon Connect App with the R5 without the app crashing it several times during use. The app is extremely sluggish and not very user friendly. Taking pictures in live view results in blacked out screens so you lose track of your subject. Also can't seem to override the single point focus setting through live view. Animal eye focus seems to be non-existent thru the app. It would also be nice to have the exposure compensation show up in a sub menu in the EVF just like they do with the focus options (when using the control ring on the lens).

Yes, YES! On the photo side, I would love to get more shooting speed options for electronic shutter. But seriously, there is a whole thread of great input from users...Canon could make some of them a reality and really add more value to the R5 compared to the new Sony A1.

Without the cards in the body, their heat isn't contributing to the thermal load. The processor will be working hard though for the compression but could be similar to 4KHQ work loads which gives very long external record times.

My R5's eye-AF tracks well in the EVF but also focuses well in the files. Is it a lens problem?

entirely possible. It would assume a minimum 45mp sensor of course. That is the big question now as 1DX shooters don't need/want the extra resolution but competition from Sony/Nikon could be an issue. I don't understand why the A1 has >45mp though. Oversampling 8.1k to 8k seems to be a waste of processing resources and the extra mp doesn't add much.

Most likely 4:2:0. Something that isn't so hard on computer systems. Hopefully they've come up with with a way to keep 422 but less taxing on processors.

YES!!!!! This is what I was hoping for when I read the title.Only video... How about animal eye AF for the 1DXIII with the next firmware ???

What recorder would you use? At the very least you'd need HDMI 2.1 but SDI would be better. Do you want to spend more for a recorder than the camera?
Writing out the USB port would be nice.

The rumour suggest Lite raw. Unless they support something like Braw I doubt it'll get better than that.

I don't think it works that way.
To do what you're suggesting you would need a recorder that could understand raw lite . Convert it to a video stream for the monitor and at the same time record it.
I think most recorders are just recording the video stream not decoding anything. They rely on the camera sending out a signal the monitor can understand.
The simplest thing would be for the USB port to send out a data signal that could be recorded to an USB drive. The same way the CFe card to USB adapters work but without the kludge of the adapter.

Good question for the recorder but cinema lite could mean that external is possible through HDMI 2.0
I believe that Canon's announcement did include "Canon Cinema RAW light addition" so the compression could make it possible
The recorder should cost less than the CFe cards though

Agreed that a monitor wouldn't be possible AFAIK. How does the current recorders manage 4k/60 - dropping alternative frames for the monitor?
USB recording to a USB drive would be ideal - effectively the same as the SD/Cfe cards. Currently the USB port is used for power and connection to PC but I haven't used that connectivity before.
The port is USB3.1 Gen 2 so 10 Gbit/s data rate over 1 lane using 128b/132b encoding (effective 1212 MB/s). The rates specified in the manual are Mbps (small "b") so definitely fast enough!
File transfer to PC is supported but is live recording?

I don’t think so. I’ve experienced it with the RF 24-15omm F4 L, RF 35mm F1.8 & RF 85mm F1.2 L

It could be the lens problem. I have some canon lenses which can't keep up with the R5's H+ speed. You can check by attaching the lens and switch it on, then look at the left side of the screen to see if the H+ icon is blinking in green or white. Green = when the lens can match up the focus speed. Whereas, white tends to have slower af.

IIRC HDMI 2.0 maxes out at 4K/60. So that's okay. It's anything more than that you run into issues.

Why does Canon ignore stills photographers? We need at a minimum, 1) real time zebras for highlights. The histogram is useless. 2) Greater ability to customize buttons including the capability to button switch between ES/MS, crop/FF, etc. 3) Different rates for ES other than 20fps in servo (come on Canon 10 fps should be an easy addition - 1/2 the frame substitution.)
