Internet is already bitching about the EOS-R5 overheating…Max Yuryev explains why

Share

We all know Sony became famous for the overheating issue. Canon was transparent enough to share the overheating info right from the start. This created a lot of buzz and discussion on the web. Thankfully Max Yuryev made a very informative video on this o make a clear point:

I guess that you really cannot use the EOS-R5 video features once you are outside under direct sunshine. And that yes may be a huge limitation for those who want to have a reliable video tool.

Now, I wonder how Sony will handle this on the soon to be announced A7sII successor. I already told you the camera will have a new kind of passive cooling system. My feeling is that Sony will not have the heavy EOS-R5 limitation. After all Sony had 5 years time to develop the camera from scratch to be a videographers beast tool. Something the EOS-R5 wasn’t really meant to be…the EOS-R5 main goal is mainly for Canon to say…hey look at me I am back :)

Thanks Max!

Canon EOS-R5 vs Sony A7rIV full specs and size comparison

Share

You can check out the complete specs sheet comparison between the new Canon EOS-R5 and Sony A7rIV on that BHphoto comparison tool.

Personally the one thing that stands out in favor of the Canon is the 8 stops stabilization. Otherwise the A7rIV holds up very well. And we still have to see if Canon image quality comes at least close ot the Sony.

Here comes the exact size comparison between the new Canon EOS-R5 and the Sony A7rIV via Apotelyt:

Competition news: Canon EOS-R5 announced…what about Image Quality???

Share

Today Canon announced FIFTEEN!!! new cameras+lenses (see them all at BH). The most important product is the new EOS-R5 8K camera which is priced at $3899 (full spec list at BH). This camera is a sort of hybrid between the Sony As7 and A7r line. The soon to be announced A7sIII will be more purely video focused and likely not have that high resolution nor 8K30p (as professional 4K quality is the main goal of that cam).

Sony vs EOS-R5 interesting facts:

  • 20min 8K recording but files are huge. On a $700 1 TB card you record max 51min
  • Canon has 8stop stabilization vs the Sony 5 stop stabilization
  • Interesting, it uses the same EVF resolution of the Sony A7rIV….that EVF is actually made by Sony…which makes me think Canon bought it from Sony :)

I wonder if Sony has to somehow answer to this or if the A7rIV and future A7sIII will be enough…

Do you feel Sony has to make a sort of EOS-R5 8K camera too?

The big unanswered question:

The one caveat I have with Canon is this: Yes, on paper the specs are amazing but will it deliver in reality? We know that so far Canon sensors are really way behind Sony. So did they pull the white rabbit out of the hat or will the Image Quality still be inferior to the Sony?

None of the reviewers talked about this aspects and my feeling is that Canon will NOT have done that miracle…
