The R5C is an amazing camera, technologically speaking.
But if we look at the FX3, for the gorilla filmmakers, it is much smaller and outputs the same awesome 4k...
Again the R5C is amazing but that massive fan in the back kills me! All because of 8K and that massive sensor...Which I would never use.
I don't want to go to Sony with the FX3 but I also don't want a chunky Canon that I am paying more for for the 8k I wont use..
If anyone happens to have information on future developments please let me know!
How awesome would it be if Canon made another R5 with just 4k and wasn't as expensive and didn't have a chunky fan and didn't over heat?
The FX3 has a fan but it is significantly thinner.
The FX3 really is a better camera if you're only shooting 4k, but I can't go to Sony. Also what's with the screen sizes..
My canon 6D has a larger screen than both of them and when filming in 1080p I get to see more of my image vs filming in 4k on either screens, With the FX3 and R5C they have to fit the ratio on the screen but it gets so small.. You'd think there would be a work around..
Why am I paying close to $5k with the R5C to update my system for a smaller screen, larger files, larger body and 8k I wont use.... all just for 4k?
FX3's screen isn't great either but that doesn't mean I or any other consumer should settle.. However it seems like most people have and continue to let these companies get away with this...
Some people may opt for a monitor but the simplicity of having it all in one body is great. +1 for flippy screens (Canon & Sony)
Maybe I should get some nice Cine lenses for my 6D for $5k instead.. It would look just as good in 1080p.
Think about it.. If everyone buys their 4k cameras with that 8K sensor, Canon will continue to make "almost perfect" cameras, continually lumping the market into the 8k category and other things WE/THEY don't really need..Canon never perfected a 4K camera without crop right?
Sony did it's users right with the FX3. Much bang for the BUCK. It's a GREAT 4k camera.
Where is Canon's? Sure the R5C also has GREAT 4k even slightly better than the FX3 due to oversampling but look at the cost in terms of price,battery power, size...
You can do it Canon! I believe in you!
