The Canon EOS R5 C is now Netflix approved after latest firmware update

[Marlow]

It actually has a lot to do with this topic because it begs the question why Canon made an R5C with slow readout and a huge cooling fan when Nikon has made the Z9 readout in 3 milliseconds.

They are very different cameras. And while you can compare them by sensor size and some of their specs, the Nikon Z9 costs over 1k more than the R5 C and is Nikons flagship camera.

The R5 C is Canons entry level Cinema camera.

You can come back comparing it, when the R1 launches.

Actually you can. VJUS (a production company in Norway, that also has the Andyax YouTube channel) produced a number of music videos with the Nikon Z9. That's just one example.

But that's neither here nor there, as it has nothing to do with this topic.

Yeah I watched those video made with the Z9 and they aren't very good. If that's your case study that's supposed to prove the Z9 cam produce cine-camera quality video you kind of proved my point. N-log is lacking dynamic range.

Huge cooling fan? What? The FX3, S1H and all cine cameras have cooling fans. Not sure what the "huge cooling fan" comment is supposed to mean. What do you mean - "why Canon made an R5C with slow readout"?

Canon USA speaking about the upcoming firmware.Coming this summer

Auto focus updates, power saving mode, clear scan (all mentioned before) but unfortunately for me, no mention of tracking or face detection in slow and fast modes like the c70 just got. Maybe it’s in there and just not mentioned. We’ll see.

1) The Z 9 electronic shutter is not really faster than the R5 when it comes to video,
The R3 has a much faster electronic shutter in video even though it is much slower when it comes to photos.
Of course, the R5 is slower.
It does not have a stacked sensor and is $2K USD cheaper.
2) That is not what begs the question means

Electronic shutter for video? I don't understand?

Do you mean sensor readout?

All video uses electronic shutter.
People do refer to it as sensor readout.
It really isn't but let's go with that.

I did not state, that it's a cine-camera. I only pointed out, where it was used on a professional shoot.

I also would not consider the Nikon Z9. I'm quite happy with my R5 C, that I've had since launch.

And NRAW is still legally contested. We don't know, if that's going to stick around. One more reason for NOT buying a Nikon Z9.

N-Log is not.

Meh .. correct ... edited. It's past midnight here.

You might want to make it clear, that your response is at asingleredcactus., when you reply to a post that entirely only contains a quote from me. It gets confusing otherwise

My original comment had asingleredcactus. in quotes.

All good.

Here's a video that compares the new firmware to the old one:

 

[Ryrock77]

I think he starts talking about Canon using trickery in the shadows to improve the image in real world test.

Here's a video that compares the new firmware to the old one:

Shooting at ISO 800 with the lens cap on and not expecting noise makes no sense.
It makes sense that it would be cleaner at the higher base ISO.

I think trickery is the right word.

Wasn't expecting no noise, the test seeks to compare the two firmware versions and see what changes they've introduced at both base isos.

Was not convinced of anything definitive after watching NAIK Media's video. Its one perspective. I'll have to watch it again.

Is that your video?

Statements in that video are made as facts when they are not facts at all.
