Seldom has a camera elicited as much controversy as did Canon’s EOS R5 and its overheating debacle. At the time, we were even compelled to call out DPReview's shameless defense of Canon, a shoddy piece of journalism which DPR technical editor Richard Butler has since retracted. Since the latest update, users are reporting being able... Continue Reading →
Canon 8K HDR PQ Sample Footage
After weeks of grumbling about the lack of interest in HDR PQ, a forum member over at DPReview took pity on me and shared a brief clip shot with his EOS R5 - and it really looks great! Too bad Sony doesn't have such a feature on the a7s III! https://youtu.be/WOXAFFLmcGs
a7s III Vastly More Popular Than R5
Some alarmists are saying Sony must immediately respond to Canon’s salvo by launching their own 8K mirrorless, but shouldn’t the real question be: shouldn't Canon develop an a7s III-like camera with insane ISO 16000 see-in-the-dark ability, 4K 120p no line-skipping, 13 stops of dynamic range, no two-hour recovery times after shooting for twenty minutes, a...

Irene Rudnyk’s Review of the EOS R5 & R6
I almost didn't watch Irene's video, because I'm mostly interested in video and she's a stills photographer. So glad I didn't pass it up! First, what a talented photographer she is! There's a few seconds of video beginning at around 13.00 and that's what got me thinking... That is, after being blown away by her... Continue Reading →
Could Canon Partner With BMD & Atomos?
Canon’s already teamed up with Atomos before to capture ProRes RAW from their cinema cameras. And every other manufacturer on planet earth has already signed on, including Sony, whose a7s III will undoubtedly record ProRes RAW through an Atomos. So it’s entirely possible, especially considering all the feedback Canon’s received, that they’ve got a fall... Continue Reading →

These videos are essential viewing for those wanting to understand the relationship between the number of pixels and sharpness and a whole bunch of other stuff.
