kena's product marketing specialist
David Perry explains how they're able to
provide 8k video and deal with all that
heat he also explains who the r5 is
aimed at and which camera line it's
meant to complement so where does this
leave the 5d mark 4 will it be a 5d Mark
5 this and more coming up delivering

TechRadar interviewed David Perry that's
canons product marketing specialists
we've heard from him before in the past
especially when it came to the
development announcement for the 1dx
March 3 thank you to Canon rumors for
highlighting several passages of that
article the first thing I want to talk
about is the ergonomic decisions of the
canon eos r5 you'll remember from this
video here that gone is the touch bar
and back is the joystick here's a quote
from David we've got the joystick on
here instead of the multifunction bar
everybody knows the multifunction bar on
the EOS are got a mixed response some
people are really going on with it and
some people really couldn't get on with
it at all so maybe going with this is a
safer bet more people are used to the
multifunction controller because this is
a 5 Series more people at that kind of
level expect functions similar to what
you get on a 5d he added so does this
mean that the EOS r5 is a 5d camera it's
a 5 D product to replace the 5d Mark 4
successor to be a mirrorless version of
the 5d Mark 5 we talked about this many
times on this channel and many of you
have commented saying this blows the 1
DX March 3 out of the water this is
obviously a replacement for the 1 DX
mark 3 others have said myself included
that no I don't think so because Canon
has a certain way of naming products one
is the highest number you can give to
any product it's the top of the line
it's the prime it's the king and as we
go down we drop in price and we drop in
functionality or capability the 5d is
by no means a entry level camera it's a
professional camera it's primarily been
a photographer's camera but Kenna has
said in the past that the EOS our F
platform are there making it more to be
not just photographic centric but also
video centric so you're getting a hybrid
the only difference is you're gonna see
it and maybe the the one another one D
but the mirrorless equivalent of the one
D is gonna be more of a sports shooter
type camera and less on video and the
high megapixel version which we think
could be called the r3 will obviously be
more photo centric but the 5d in this
iteration the r5 I should say sorry the
r5 is going to be more balanced between
photo and video David Perry goes on to
say it's aimed at the level of the
market this isn't a replacement for the
5d Mark 4 or anything like that but this
is a mirrorless 5 series it's aimed at
that segment of the market which makes
sense because in film days we had the
EOS 5 then the digital DSLRs we had the
5d and now we have the r5 so it's at
that same sort of level a little bit of
marketing in there it's not meant as a
replacement but it's supposed to be a
mirus equivalent the r5 is by no means
an equivalent to the 5d Mark 4 I think
what David's hinting at is there may
very well be a 5d Mark 5 and that this
mirrorless r5 is meant to complement
that so if that's what I'm reading
correctly here the 5d Mark 5 is still on
and it's going to be very similar in
features to what we have in the r5 the
next thing that came up was about heat
dissipation the r5 is a very small
camera we've all seen it I've got
several photos up here that you guys
have been watching throughout this video
and it's tiny I don't see a huge vent on
the back like Panasonic did with the s1h
and that is a pretty big vent and it's
got a fan in there so it's gonna make a
bit of noise here we don't have a vent
we don't have a fan unless there's one
internal but what's the point of a fan
without some sort of venting it just
really doesn't make any sense we've been
doing this for a while now and we've
learnt a lot of techniques to dissipate
heat on
other products that we have in our
lineup for example being able to move
components around and being able to have
them further away from each other I'm
being able to dissipate heat using
different materials has been something
we've been pretty proud of on other
products this is something we've learned
using both our cinema and our video
cinema yose series with that technology
as well so there's a lot of technology
that we know is coming together and
giving us the ability to really step up
these specifications a lot to unpack
there but not really it's marketing
speak of course they're trying different
things of course they're moving things
around and trying different materials
maybe even trying different voltage
levels who knows there's no real
technical details in there other than
they're aware yes that heat is an issue
and they've found a way to solve it just
like they found a way to put 8k and put
Ibis in this camera something that Canon
hasn't done and nobody else has put 8k
in a video camera yet at CES 2020 yes
sharp was prototyping a model it was a
very early prototype but here we have
Ken and ready to announce a real product
so I don't really know how they plan on
doing this but yes 8k video is real
they've engineered things a little bit
to dissipate heat I do expect there to
be some record time limits on 8k I just
don't know what they're going to be we
don't have the full specifications so
what about availability well I've been
saying for several weeks according to
sources according to Canon rumors that
we were expecting a March announcement
well that's changed the announcement is
now expected to be sometime around May
or June and availability well it was
supposed to be July and the big push for
that July announcement was because of
the 2020 Summer Olympics and Canon wants
to get this stuff out so when we're
shooting the Olympics you're gonna see
Canon everywhere they want everybody to
have these cameras in their hands well
late last night we got an announcement
that the that Japan is officially
delaying or postponing the 2020 Olympics
we don't have a date but this is from
dick pound who's with the Olympics
and most likely we're probably going to
see this happen sometime in 2021
so that really takes a lot of the date
pressures off and with the worsening
condition in the world at least oh my
god Italy is having a really tough time
cases are ramping up in the United
States where I live here we have states
of emergency throughout the country we
have mandatories work from home and the
Prime Minister came out yesterday was
very strict in saying that if you don't
stop congregating large groups
everything's on the table there could be
war Measures Act there could be
emergency measures people could be
arrested can be people could be fine we
don't know they didn't really hint he
just said all the tools are on the table
so the world is taking this very
seriously
so now this is where we start to see the
pressures on the dates like I said we do
have an announcement aimed at around May
or June but as far as when it's going to
be released that's really hard to tell
at this point what do you guys think is
this an exciting announcement
I personally I'm quite excited by this
it's confirmed things I've been saying
in the past I've said that the r5 is
primarily aimed at or at the same level
as the 5d mark 4 and the 5 D 5 D I keep
saying the 5d the r5 is a mirrorless
replacement for the 5d Mark 5 so outside
of the Olympics there's many other
things in here that I'm very interested
in what one of the things that David
Perry said is that the r5 isn't designed
to replace the 5d well if we look at the
r5 capabilities based on what has been
announced and what has been leaked the
r5 is an order of magnitude above the
Canon 5d Mark 4 by at least two levels
it's two generations ahead of it so that
tells me that there's going to be a 5d
Mark 5 we've heard nothing since late
last year about the 5d Mark 4 but back
in around October November of last year
we were hearing that there were going to
be a 1 DX mark 3 and a 5d mark 5 and
sure enough the 1 DX mark 3 has come out
but we've heard very little on the 5d
Mark 5 so based on what David Perry's
saying I really think there's room for
that otherwise the RFI
clearly does replace the current 5d Mark
4 will it have ibis no I don't know
maybe not the 1d x3 didn't have ibis
it's video capabilities are stepped up
but not nearly as good as what's in the
r5 so I do expect the r5 to have a few
more features and more capabilities than
the 5d Mark 4 so that's really good news
as far as availability in announcements
this year at this point I think
everything's up in the air as much as
Canon wants to keep to its product dates
there are a lot of things happening even
as cases in China start to ramp down and
production starts to increase is there
really a lot of demand and the rest of
the world are the supply chains going to
be intact
there's a lot of different factors here
and it's almost impossible to speculate
so my goal going forward is just a
report as what I'm hearing as it happens
as I get updates to report what is
happening as it happens and to report
updates as they occur I just heard about
this information early this morning and
I want to quickly get this video out to
you guys before I start my workday like
many of you I'm working from home and
it's a very strange feeling because I'm
feeling I'm getting a sense of cabin
fever can't really go outside and when I
do go outside I'm usually limited to my
back yard in front yard because I don't
know who out there might have it there
are cases of the virus showing up in and
around my community now so there's a bit
more sense of urgency and I'm a little
bit more concerned about this than I was
a couple of months ago because at the
time we were being told this thing
wouldn't be any worse than a bad case of
the flu well it's this thing is
certainly a whole lot worse than a bad
case of the few flu if you if you get it
really strong so I wish you guys stay
safe stay well thank you so much for
tuning to watch my channel and I look
forward to seeing you again soon thank
you for watching the ordinary filmmaker
