I think the biggest issue with this camera for a lot of people is the 4K 60 line-skipped, since most of us wedding videographers shoot at that frame rate, its ridiculous that we don't get it for a 4,500 price tag with taxes, how come the R5C can oversample 4K at 60fps from 8K 60fps but not the R5 mark II with the same processing power and now a "digic accelerator" -OVERHEATING- perhaps? well, Canon, you have 4 years to figure that out, even tho you kinda did it in a half ass way we have to rely and spend xtra on a fan, at least you could've gave us the option to use that feature for getting that d4mn fan.
Friend, tell me if Panasonic lenses have the same three-dimensional effect as Nikon 40mm f2? Perhaps there is at least one Panasonic line close to this effect?
For sure, you can definitely get great footage from the original R5. I myself have rented it for some shoots. But not having a full sized HDMI limits what shoots I can bring the R5 on. Anytime I need critical focus or want to use a monitor its not an option.
For a Canon user... it's an amazing camera.... not sure it's as good a value as the now $3k R5.... but if you have the RF lenses... you have a really solid choice. But if not currently a Canon user, it misses the mark... mostly in price and 3rd party lens offerings....
I haven’t reserved but definitely was always asking if the R5 series can do better in night and with the backlit sensor it’s definitely gonna do a better job in the nightclub shots. Not to mention and help out a lot at the weddings. You cannot miss the shot!👊
Unfortuantely MII version doesn't feature IBIS High Resolution mode, so it is very limited as it doesn't use the multi-exposure IBIS function of the camera any more. Also, the former batter grip isn''t compatible with this camera (same size tough).
Clog2? The only reason its used here is because of the DR. Using Clog2 on R5 or R5C is literally pointless. It would simply cause increased levels of noise in the shadows since there is nothing to resolve there past the noise floor of those cameras, which the r5ii can. Imagine using the full VLOG on a camera like the GH4 or the GH5. Clog2 is not a selling point, the HDMI is.
@@shueibdahir wasn’t aware of the noise levels. Just knew about the dynamic range and assumed it was better. Have to do some digging now. Thanks for the input.
I have my R5 Mark two with me right now. I just picked it up from a local Camera shop that got it in early. I’m not supposed to register it or talk about it until August 20.
I currently have a Canon 5D MkIV and was waiting to see what they would do with the R5 Mk II. However Canon have disappointed once again. It's overpriced and the video is lacking compared to it's competitors. The only thing Canon has going for it is it's lenses, but for me that's not enough to buy the R5 MkII. I could save myself over £1500 by buying a Z8 which has better specs.
My theory re Canon "not catching up" is . . . Japanese culture stresses accord and deference to other Japanese and in business to other Japanese companies. So if that is true. Canon slowed its growth so other Japanese companies could catch up to Canon and keep the camera market essentially an all Japanese market. A few years ago Sony was new to the SLR still camera market and Nikon was in decline. Now Canon, Nikon, and Sony are all robust (and the 7 dwarfs are still hanging around), so Japanese dominance in the camera business persists. As the camera biz is a small part of Canon, they could play this kind of game without financial risk. Just my opinion.
