on Monday Kannan announced the eos r5
video specifications today we have
credible specifications for the EOS r6
delivering informative capability based
reviews and tutorials on camera gear
filming techniques and content creation
hi it's Simon and this is the ordinary
filmmaker
if you're new here please click like and
subscribe as it really helps my channel
grow and all the links to everything I
talk about in this video I put in the
description down below so I want to say
a special thanks for Kanin rumors for
updating us on the dates for the r6
announcement and deployment or release
this video is going to be about the r6
and the r5 and which one might be better
for you because these cameras are
shaping up to be very different the r6
has a 20 megapixel full-frame CMOS
sensor the r5 has a forty five megapixel
full-frame sensor now part of the reason
why it needs to be 45 K is to support 8
KD SIA or sorry 8 K were video recording
if you're shooting photos this 20
megapixel might be seen as a little bit
on the small side but for the ordinary
filmmaker and photographer let's think
about this a little differently 20
megapixels isn't a small amount for most
of us this is more than enough for eight
and a half by eleven s4 by sixes and
such or creating wallpaper the Canon idd
has a 32 point 5 megapixel sensor but
I'm willing to bet you that the image is
produced by the r6 are going to be way
more detailed than what the Canon 90 d
can put out and when you strap on those
RF lenses that are capable of capturing
so much detail I think you're gonna be
very happy with these images so yes 45
sounds better but for me I think 45 is
almost a bit too big I wish in these
cameras we could say ok I only want a
kit I want to capture a 20 megapixel or
26 or a 30 megapixel image but those 45
megapixel images are going to be big now
in terms of size oh one one another
thing I'm on the sensor Kenna rumors
reported that the this sensor that's
going to be in the 1d x mark 3 a lot of
talk is going around saying that this is
gonna be in the r6 it's not the r6 is
getting a different
sensor so as far as speeds let's talk
about that because it's photographers
that matters a lot to the r5 and the r6
both have 12 frames per second
mechanical and 20 frames per second
electronic so identical right you know I
wouldn't expect so I expect that the r5
will have better buffer capabilities
there's a lot of details here that we
don't have yet on the r5 or the r6 I
can't wait to get more detailed
specifications that shed light on the
photographic side of things on the video
side we have quite a bit so the r5 is
capable of 8k video uncropped with ibis
and autofocus it's capable of 8k raw as
well the r6 tops out at 4k 60
I might seem like a bit of a downer
compared to the r5 but again let's do a
bit of a reality check here all the
videos I produce are 1080 yeah I know
the video isn't the best quality I'm
using a 70d but once I go to an r5 and
r6 I'm probably still gonna output in
1080 do you realize that most Hollywood
movies are shot in 1080 and then upscale
to 4k 1080 is really good most of my
viewers are watching on smartphones or
tablets or small computer screens where
the 4k detail is not going to be noticed
but what really matters is the detail
that we can capture and produce so if I
I do I shoot at 30 frames per second so
to be able to capture video at 4k 30 and
maybe I captured an IP B because I don't
want to take forever to produce videos
I'm not moving around so I'm not gonna
have to worry about artifacts so IP B is
probably really good for me so I'll
capture in 4k 30 which is gonna be not
much bigger than all I in 1080 then I'll
downsample that and what that will do is
give me a much better detailed 1080
image so I think for the ordinary
filmmaker for the ordinary photographer
4k 60 s really good and that 60 frames
per second especially if you're into
wedding work it allows you to slow
things down just that a little bit more
but if you want that really buttery
smooth and you want to shoot in 4k and
keep in mind how many clients really
demand 4k right now
then yeah the r5 is better but Full HD
is able to record 120 frames per second
and that that's pretty good so we get
120 frames per second in 1080p or Full
HD so video wise the specs on the
surface seem very good again I want to
see those specifications that we got
with the RFI are we gonna be able to do
h.265 and 1080 as well as 4k a lot of
cameras will say okay we'll give you h
265 but it's only available in 4k I
don't understand the logic there the
great thing about h.265 is we're able to
preserve more color information more
dynamic range it has it treats the image
differently
h.264 looks at the images it treats it
every section of the image equally
whereas the codec for the h.265 codec
looks at different parts of the image
and see where more detail is needed
where there's more color information and
it protects that this image this image
here gives you a better understanding of
how h.265 works now both cameras have
dual card slots and that's a really
that's really really good the r5 gets
dual SD card slots UHS 2 unlike the r5
though there is no CF Express and there
is no top down screen and unfortunately
the EVF is gonna be a lower resolution
than the r5 I don't know if this is a
negative yet in my video I released just
a couple of days ago I was comparing
mirrorless to DSLRs and one of the
things that mirrorless has have done
really well in the last few years has
increased the resolution and increased
the refresh rate so we don't get a lag
and that's very important especially if
you're trying to capture fast action
stuff but we don't know what the r5 is
capable of so I don't know what the r6
is capable of either and there's no way
to judge how much or worse they are so
I'll just have to park that one for a
little bit later the build quality isn't
as good as the r5 and again not a big
surprise in previous videos I talked
about the r5 being equivalent to the 5d
line the 5d Mark fours and I said that
they are the r5 I keep mixing
he's up the r5 is more or less going to
be a mirus equivalent of what we expect
the 5d Mark five to be yes I still do
hold out hope that we're getting the 5d
Mark 5 I haven't completely discounted
that one and I think it's very much
possible it gives a bit more breathing
room for the EF system we've got the 1
DX March 3 so I definitely think there
is space based on what we see in terms
of capabilities for photo and video 4
and 5d mark 5 it doesn't take away from
the eos r or r6 the r6 though I think is
I think is going to be aimed at the same
price point the same market as the EOS R
and that means that's good news really
so yes they are very different cameras
but we expect to see the price of the r5
to be around $3,500 to $4,000 based on
the initial price of the the 5d Mark 4
which was around $3,500 maybe add 5 or
10% to that price but the eos cinema
line camera the c300 Mark 3 is listed
for $11,000 much lower than we expect so
I don't expect Canon to go out there and
really gouges on this I think it's very
realistic to see the RFI between 3,500
and $39.99 and I expect to see the r6
somewhere between $2,000 and $2,500 now
as far as Bartok battery life goes again
we don't know we don't know for either
cameras all we know is that the r6 is
going to get the same battery as the 5d
Mark 4 or at least the same size and
shape so it's gonna have much better
battery life then aps-c cameras like the
m50 or the m5 or even the m6 so really
you look at the size of the r5 it looks
pretty good the size of the r6 I don't
know we haven't seen any picture that
Canon is teasing us with the r5 and
they're completely ignoring us with the
r6 I reminds me of my dating days
sometimes a girl's interested he and
sometimes she just won't give you the
time of day and that's how canons
treating us here to say hey look at this
r5 look how shiny and wonderful it is r6
yeah don't talk to me now as far as
dates this is where canon rumours gave
us an update work
get a June launch and we're gonna get a
me announcement and I believe it's gonna
be announced at Photokina yeah I know
Photokina has been canceled but I think
it's gonna keep those same days this
week was supposed to be nabbed 20 20 at
Las Vegas but it was canceled for well
very good reasons however Kanna decided
to go ahead with their announcement they
held a virtual press conference and I
think canon did a very good job of it
they had all the right people there they
said all the right things and they gave
us a good amount of detail and right at
the end as I expected they surprised us
by teasing us a little bit more with the
sr5 specifications
I expect that we're gonna it's probably
gonna be around I think it's May the
19th to the 23rd that's when Photokina
was to be held so I expect we're gonna
get here some announcement very shortly
about a virtual press conference or
they're just gonna dump it on us we'll
just have to wait and see and then we'll
have a June launch as far as
availability goes again your guess is as
good as mine I'm not gonna even try to
say give you any specs what the Vail
ability is gonna be like or even if they
hold to that June date but as far as the
announcement date goes we're very close
that that's going to go forward
in this behind-the-scenes segment I want
to focus on the interviews up in doing I
just recorded a video interview with
Peter yesterday Peter Gregg he's a
professional photographer and YouTube
personality I've interviewed Peter twice
now in the first interview I made
several mistakes which is normal if
you're pushing yourself you're going to
make mistakes don't be afraid be afraid
if you're not making mistakes because in
that case you're not pushing yourself
hard enough now what I did then is we
had things set up Peter recorded the
video and audio and synced it at his end
and I just played with the audio so my
because he recorded my audio coming
through the phone and it sounded pretty
good but I wasn't quite happy with that
so I changed things up this time around
in the third video now this video may be
out right now or it may be coming out in
a few hours it depends I'm probably
going to publish this video first and
then polish off the interview one and
have that a few hours later but in this
video I recorded my audio using a this
same microphone here the tasks MDR 10l
and I recorded the video using my Canon
70d sync them up and imported them into
final cut peter recorded his video and
audio sync them together and i didn't
have to do any scrubbing of his files
they were perfect he put them on youtube
where i downloaded them using 4k
downloader i then brought that into the
computer I manually manually synced it
up because there were some some things
were out of sync that is probably to do
with the bitrate recording it were both
using 30 frames per second so I just
manually lined it up and it's very
simple to do so when I'm talking I take
the full screen when Peters talking he
takes the full screen we're not talking
on top of each other so there's no need
to do side-by-side and go through all
that I very strongly believe in keeping
things simple keeping the Edit simple
and I think that works really well but I
did make a few mistakes so you can see
here I'm framed I see my head isn't
being cropped off this is where those
record times come in my camera has a 30
minute record time we recorded audio for
a recorded audio end video for about an
hour and a half well about an hour and
40 minutes so after about
five minutes while Peter's talking I
would get up press stop on the camera
and start recording again come back and
sit down in my chair and pretty well try
to move back into the same spot well the
third time I did that
ie I did something wrong I either set
back too far I set forward too much and
I'm cropping off the top of my head
considering how well the rest of the
video went no lesson learned I'll apply
that to the next time but I'm very happy
with the video in this video I'm a
little stiff at some times but I think
the chemistry between me and Peter comes
across and it's it's a good video it's a
friendly video and it's an informative
video so please watch that video it
should be out now or coming out in the
next couple of hours now in my second
interview I did an interview with Craig
Blair of canon rumors and there's a lot
of lessons learned there we had some
technical issues at the beginning and
one of the reasons we had those
technical issues is I knew the audio
wasn't going to be very good so I was
hoping that Craig could record the audio
in his and Craig hasn't done many of
these videos so he didn't have the
equipment in place to capture the audio
as well so what I really learned going
ahead next time as I've got two more
videos interview schedules one with Ian
Robertson of the UK and we're gonna be
talking about travel photography and
Astro photography and that's gonna be
really exciting that video should be
coming out next week or on the weekend
but because he has a YouTube channel he
knows all about audio and cameras and
we're gonna use the same situation that
piers using I really don't like using
Skype Google Hangouts or any of those
services because the video quality is
always gonna be terrible and the audio
quality is not good to you and I have
watched plenty of news over the last
couple of weeks there's a lot of Skype
and zoom and Google hangout video and
the audio is always terrible so I'm
looking for a way to improve that and
one of the best ways is using your smart
phone I got mine over there and I use an
app called HD recorder I did pay about
eight dollars for this app but it
records audio very very well and I think
that's an essential for doing any of
that type of recording in the few
sure I'm gonna insist or make sure that
we have a separate audio recording on
the other end because as video can be a
little rough and we accept that
especially today
but there's no excuse for having poor
audio so I'm gonna make sure audios
improved later and yeah I really hope
kenan ditches that 30 minute record time
in the r5 and r6 peter greg doesn't have
this issue because he does live
streaming and that's how we record he
recorded his video yesterday using was
it ECAM and several other devices so he
was live streaming and recording it
directly to youtube so he didn't have
any issues so r5 and r6 please have that
30 minute record time gone and makes it
a little bit awkward for these
interviews but again it's not a big deal
the stuff can be edited out and you can
patch it together it's just an annoyance
so let's just talk a little bit about my
next interviews so this is what I have
planned outside of Peter Greg's video
coming up and police guys go ahead and
subscribe to Peter Greg he's he's got a
great channel he's producing live
streams every day we can ask any
questions really my Peter he's taught me
a lot and reason my channel is where it
is today is because of him so please
watch that video and like his subscribe
to his channel
as I mentioned Ian Robertson is a chat
travel and astrophotographer now he
really does focus on travel photography
and videography more but with what's
happened recently he doesn't have to
travel a whole lot well he does he gets
to travel to his backyard or to his
house to shoot videos and photos so he's
done an awful lot of Astro photography
so we're gonna interview Ian from the UK
and that video is I'm just putting
together the questions we're gonna
discuss and talk about and then probably
record that with today's what Wednesday
maybe Thursday evening or Friday evening
Eastern Time takes me about a day to
edit things together and hopefully have
that one up at the weekend oh and also
if you have any questions that you want
to have answered in these videos that
I'm doing in these interviews go ahead
and put them in a comment section down
below here any questions you have for
Ian about travel photography videography
or
about Astro photography videography drop
them in the comment section down below
Ian does an awful lot of videos of the
moon too he doesn't just take still
shots but I love that full motion and he
captures videos as well the next video
that I have that I'm planning after that
is gonna be a video on cinema cameras so
one of you is a cinema camera operator
he's been using cinema cameras for a
long time not gonna say decades because
I don't assume he's as old as me and
this video is gonna be all about what
it's like using these cameras how
different they truly are two hybrid
DSLRs and mirrorless cameras but I'm
also interested in your questions are
you curious about cinema cameras have
you thought of getting a C 100 or C 200
any questions you have put them in the
comment section down below and I'll pose
them in that video interview not gonna
give out the name yet because we haven't
really got all the details figured out
yet but that one's probably about two
weeks away and also what do you think
about these interview segments that I'm
doing I did do a conductor poll just
recently and good 80% of you are in
favor of more interview segments doesn't
mean I'm gonna stop the rumors cuz here
we go this is a rumor video and it
doesn't mean I'm gonna stop the other
content creation YouTube Diaries other
tutorials that I've been doing but I
have to slow down a little bit I'm
losing my voice I talked for about five
hours yesterday after work just doing
this and of course during my work day
I'm very busy today's full of meetings
I'm recording this in my lunch time so
thanks so much for watching we'll see
you again soon and don't forget to Like
