Canon EOS R5 Review From A Hybrid Shooter’s Point Of View

Canon Eos R5 Review 8k Video Firmware Updste
View Post

Here is a Canon EOS R5 review that’s neither focused on sole video nor only on stills photography.

Bryan Wilkat looks at the Canon EOS R5 from the point of view of a hybrid shooter, i.e. someone who need the EOS R5 for both video and still photography work. Bryan doesn’t seem to be entirely fond of the EOS R5. He says:

I’ve been a Canon user since 2011 but no, sadly I’m not on their payroll… I truly wanted this camera to kill it but sometimes, it falls short. After a little more than two weeks of use, here is my (hybrid shooter) real world Canon R5 review with some sample photos, ungraded/graded footage, some C-Log shots, some 4K 120p & 4K 60p slow motion and much more. Most of this video was shot on the R5 in 4K 23.976fps unless otherwise mentioned, or if the camera was in the shot, then it was filmed on the Panasonic S1H.

There are already tons of technical reviews out there that did all the tedious tests, this review video is more about how the camera performed in real situations. Sadly, as much as I wanted to avoid talking about it, the camera’s overheating limitations did play a large role in my opinion about this camera and because of that major design flaw, I won’t recommend it to hybrid shooters (with the current firmware). But having said that, if you’re mindful of what causes the overheating, many people could probably make this camera work for them if you don’t mind missing some shots here and there. However, for Canon to hang on to their reputation as a leader in the industry, I believe they really need to address these (seemingly artificial) limitations in a firmware update or with a full blown hardware recall because it’s 2020 and many of us are hybrid users. From my limited time with this camera, I’ve concluded that it’s near impossible to use this camera professionally on a photo and video gig, the way it was intended (or at least, the way it was marketed!).

The EOS R5 seems to be highly regarded as a stills camera and unfortunately less as a video camera. In particular, the autofocus system seems to be huge leap forwards. More Canon EOS R5 review stuff is listed here, for the EOS R6 see here. User manual are available for download for the EOS R5 and the EOS R6.

New Canon Cameras Show Up At Certification Authority, Might Be Upcoming EOS M

Eos M
View Post

Yet unreleased Canon cameras showed up at a wireless certification authority. Are these the upcoming EOS M cameras?

Two unreleased Canon cameras with the SKUs DS126834 and DS126949 have been registered as certified by a certification authority. We think these cameras might be the rumored EOS M50 Mark II and/or EOS M7. A specification list that could refer to one of these cameras is also rumored. However, the SKUs could also refer to some entry-level DSLR replacement.

Stay tuned.

Canon might announce up to two new EOS M cameras within 2020, that’s what’s rumored.

The rumored upcoming Canon EOS M cameras are said to be the replacement for the highly popular EOS M50 and a possible new EOS M flagship, named the EOS M7. A partial list of specifications for one of these cameras could have leaked over the web. Here they are:

  • 32mp
  • IBIS
  • DPAF II
  • New DIGIC Processor (perhaps a lesser version of DIGIC X?)
  • EVF
  • Dual SD Cards
  • 12fps
  • Full sensor width 4K up to 60p
  • 1080p at 120p
  • CLog

There is no rumored announcement date so far but if it is true that these new EOS M cameras are coming in 2020, then there isn’t that much time left to speculate about.
