I can't not do this but it feels like I and everybody else on the internet has done about 10 videos each on the R5 already but look,
it's Canon that has announced it 3 times, so don't shoot the messengers, alright?
Okay, before we get started, I'm going to make one of those lovely thumbnails...
that makes it look like I'm holding the camera.
Wow, look at those effects, so real.
Every time Canon does something good or bad, it becomes such a huge talking point.
The community doesn't give to craps when Panasonic releases something like the S1H,
which is really rather good but sensible.
The S1H is a fantastically sensible choice for taking video.
It takes sensibly raw 5.9 sensible K's of footage,
and even though the continuous AF is not so sensibly bad, it has a fan in it, so it won't overheat.
Sensible.
But look, we live in a time when we like making a tit of ourselves on Tik Tok, so sensible is not de rigueur.
Although I would never actually describe Canon as fashionable,
the sun has never really set on their popularity despite crop gate episode 1 and 2.
Completely forgot about the crop factor.
And I stopped noticing after that because I was too busy rolling my eyes.
But look, Canon is not really cool, but like others,
I become attracted to news of a new Canon camera every bloody time.
Maybe cause everybody else is or because I use Canon for stills with the 5D III,
and have become accustomed to the ergonomics and the pleasing look of their skin tone since.
I'm a canon user.
Yes, I've used the Canon C300 mark II, I had the ATD, I had the ESM5,
had the 5D mark III,
so I've got some weird kind of attachment with Canon.
Always talking about dual pixel autofocus,
Canon color science, L lenses, oh, LP E6 batteries
Menu systems are great.
But look, I'm not committed to one brand.
I love Leica. I feel sorry for Pentax, but otherwise I'll just go for whatever works best for me.
So why exactly have I been so excited by an R5 news?
Well, because it's very un-Canon-like to put 8K in the camera,
available to any random Joe who is willing to splash 4k on the camera of course.
Before this, it's always felt like Canon's strategy is
having it their way, but this time it feels like they're letting us have it our way.
Or not.
For those who want to be "No way" about the 8k, the easy thing to say is,
"But I don't need 8K," or "My computer's gonna melt."
Do you need 8K? Well, if you really need to ask then you probably don't.
But the strain on the computer is a reality though.
Lok's iMac and memory cards emoji weeped as it struggled to contain those fat bottomed 8K files.
72 gigabytes for eight minutes of 8k 76 gigabytes even it's going to be
burning through hard drives and your wallet if you shoot all 8k
and as imac would probably make that noise as if it's about to prepare for
takeoff ak will probably make for some reality
real looking 4k video putting in a 4k timeline is going to provide you with
better than 4k looking files because they're 8k i say probably because i've
not tested the r5 but generally speaking it should do right have a look for
yourself in lock's hands on video of the r5 and r6
very lucky man to get hands on with it so will i find out for sure what the r5
8k is like probably not since the esr review the person who invited me to
review their gear previously got invited to work somewhere else since
then canon uk has gone back to the old school ways of inviting more
professional people to myself people who sell photography magazines
and people who sell their gear look i'm not going to push it nor grovel
for it but i still like cannon in my own way like an entanglement
without penetration but anyway ak also useful for cropping
if you're publishing in 4k without losing on quality and in 1080 if you
want to crop the crap out of it but with such performance perks there
are potential pitfalls my former colleague jake at cvp made a
great video highlighting that eos r5 might overheat might
i say mine but canon provided cp with duration times that you can record of
the r5 before it says nah sorry too bloody hot let's take five
or ten or twenty depending on resolution and
frame rate you're shooting at blocked by andrew reed and then
reblogged everywhere else the r5 is becoming known as much for its 8k
as it is overheating 8k worn 4k 120 is fire but the focus
is all about the camera catching fire now oh yeah maybe i need a better
thumbnail pick spicy food fart but is it that big a
problem well it's hard to say when it's just on paper in practice
we need to see before we can figure out if it's a major problem in use
but look there are other cameras out there at the moment that many people use
that suffer from overheating issues like a penguin in a desert
yet people just laugh it off and keep calm and carry on
the camera gave a warning about the temperature after about 14 minutes and
then cut off after 19 minutes test at home with intermittent direct
sunlight on the camera and they cut out after 15 minutes of
filming and with cameras with smaller sensors shooting at regular 4k 25p not
full frame 8k raw otherwise there's a z6 it
shoots raw with an atomos yeah i know it's a bit boring or the
panasonic s1 shoots raw with anatomos sensible so maybe we should all stop
complaining or maybe we have the right to
after all it is a four thousand dollar carrier and when the hell did four
thousand dollar cameras become the norm that kind of money still enough to make
the most extravagant of spender's colons cramped up at the fall of chucking down
that money on a body only but if you're thinking of spending four
thousand dollars on the carrot then why not have demands
or whinge it's a bit too early to get aggro about it i mean
it's like oh we haven't got another crop gate sequel so we feel the need to find
something else to shit on them for early days yes but it could actually end
up being worse since these are tests done in a controlled testing environment
when you're shooting in the summer under the sun it could be much shorter
they should release the camera in the winter but look people seem to expect
canon to go from offering cameras with severely cropped 4k
and questionable crippling of the carrot to making a perfect camera
without any flaws it's just not going to happen is it
but look you can get a c300 2 or c200 used for around that money and to be
honest if you just focus on video you'd
probably be better off with those because they're made for video but let's
not forget that the r5 is also a stills camera and with 45
megapixels up to 20 fps 12 fps mechanical eight stops is
seemingly no slouch for stills either it's just that if you're only a still
shooter and you want those specs then four thousand dollars seems a bit
much just for the stills aspect the r6 is more reasonably priced but
then the specs have been suitably shrilled up too
saying that i think the r6 seems like a suitable choice for still shooters if
you don't need that 45 megapixels there is a new r
though which has the megapixels and doesn't do video if you're interested
okay so i'm prepared for a morning of poshness
like a time all right let's uh we've got a virtual product presentation but
they're prepared a surprise for me unboxing we've got
we've got somebody's farm in a box right here we have got
county biscuits oh would you like a biscuit
would you would you can't have a biscuit because you're over there
fruit cake i don't know why that was funny
silky tea bags and some jam great to put on my um fruitcake i guess
lovely thank you very much so yeah they're just increasing the m10 family
they've got the m10 obviously the m10d i'm not remembering
all this it's on the screen right here the m10p and
the monochrome so this is the r which i guessed r stands for
resolution like they do with all the other r's in
digital camera terms the main change is that it has a 40
megapixel sensor in it and it's 7 100 pounds and i want one don't think
i'll buy the r5 although it is cheaper at 4
200 pounds but who knows i might still end up getting one i want those slacks
fainted spenders with a punch on for purchasing nice carriers
and despite the complaints and the fact that i probably don't need ak
120 is a very juicy prospect and look even just having full frame 4k
25 or 30 in a canon is a great thing and as i'd be using that most of
the time i'd be interested to see how it forms in this mode
not just how quickly it does overheat when shooting an ak
the r5 is interesting for canon because it's not just a statement but it could
be one of the devices that changes consumer demands
although it might be used for better looking 4k and cropping now
ak tvs and computers made to handle 8k might become the normat sometime not too
far away you might not want to know and you might
complain about things like overheating without even handling first
but respect has to be given to canon for pushing things forward
in the world of consumer tech for a change
now there's not many hands-on videos out there at the moment peter mckinnon's

used to dj i would love to see footage of this unfortunately this was before a
time when everybody had to document every single
thing they're doing every single day i did some gigs in a pub i did a gig in
a strip club called devil's advocate no stripping was going on
at the same time maybe some paint stripping all claimed famous as once a
warmer back for a tidy tracks dj who um i can't remember his name right
now but tidy tracks is a hard house label you don't know
what hard house is basically it's like electronic music
violently attacking your eardrums over and over again oh and my dj name was
kaiser and i did all of this before i was 18.
is bokafide a new bocalicious well i'm not going to try to trademark it and put
it on any merch anytime soon mont blanc rollerball or fountain
fountain reminds me of being in schools um even though i hated school and my

my handwriting looks like a load of squash spiders
right invite to lemon tea yay one thing i miss
since leaving hong kong is the array of drinks
7-eleven loads of funny tea drinks with bits in it i most likely won't ever live
in hong kong again sadly but what i can have is their tea
okay so that's all i've got the patience for i'll probably do these bits again
maybe maybe not but anyway thanks for watching see you again
bye
