Hey All,
I was anticipating the R5 to be my next camera, only shooting up to 4KHQ 24P and sometimes using 120p. However, as we know the R5 overheats even in 4K HQ 24P.
Even if it doesn’t overheat, the HEVC file format does not work with most up-to-date PCs. Now that the R5c is out things seem to be better however there are still downsides like bad battery life. Hopefully it’s not as bad with just 4K. It’s also a shame the body is bigger, I was hoping for the same body size.
Does anyone know if Cannon has plans to just make a solid 4K HQ type of camera?
I am leaning to buy the R5C as this is the only option but again if there was just a solid focused 4K type camera there wouldn’t be such an overheating problem and the battery life would be fine too and the camera would probably be smaller.
On the other hand if the R5 had a firmware update to allow XF-AVC I would definitely buy that.
Does anyone know if there will be a future firmware update for the R5 to allow XF-AVC or if a 4K focused camera will come out?
