PP: Canon EOS R5 Mark II Review – A Great Camera For Any Photographer

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 25, 2024

Petapixel posted its full Canon EOS R5 Mark II review, which you can watch above or check out the key points below.

  • The handling is a perfect mix of grip size and improved button placement
  • The menus have been improved greatly
  • Eye control calibration has problems with some shooters, but it isn’t necessary
  • The new hotshoe cover doesn’t come off easily
  • Noise reduction performed on RAW files
  • The new stacked sensor takes a minor dynamic range hit when shooting with a mechanical shutter
  • Shooting with an electronic shutter has a slightly better dynamic range than the original R5
  • ISO differences only last up until the second dynamic range step
  • Read-out speed is about 1/60th of a second
  • The new R5 image sensor is going to be very useful for a variety of situations even though the older R5 sensor might be better for landscapes due to the additional dynamic range
  • The new R5 has noticeably improved autofocus
  • The 800mm f/11 works well with the R5 II
  • AF Detection modes are pretty good
  • The R5 Mark II is a very predictable camera
  • From a sports and action photographer perspective up rez and in-camera noise reduction aren’t useful for a professional
  • Video specs are about the same but the video mode is a slightly slower read-out speed than when taking photographs
  • Canon C-Log 2 for the first time because it is usually for cinema cameras
  • Can’t shoot oversampled 4k 60p
  • Powered hotshoe if you can get the cover off
  • Subject AF will only focus on the selected subject so if you walk out of frame focus doesn’t pull to the background
  • Tally lamp
  • Waveform, but you can’t change the place of size of it
  • Overheating isn’t a big issue like it was on the R5
  • 8k 60p RAW for 23 min, 4k 120p 23 min, 8k 24p 51 min, 4k 24p 74 minutes, beyond that you will use up the battery before the camera overheats if you drop out of fine 4k 24p which was 75 minutes.
  • It is a great camera for any photographer

Canon Osmo Pocket Like Patent Found

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 23, 2024

A patent filed by Canon for an Osmo like pocket camera has been found. You can check out the details below and the related images above:

overview

  • [Publication number] P2024112386
  • [Release date] 2024-08-21
  • [Title of Invention] Imaging device
  • [Application date] 2023-02-08
  • [Applicant]
    [Identification number] 000001007
    [Name or company name] Canon Inc.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an imaging device that can be made lighter and smaller while ensuring accurate gimbal control.
  • [Background Art]
    [0002]
    Conventionally, as a device that enables control to reduce camera shake or intentionally change the imaging angle of view, there is a so-called gimbal device that can rotate the camera unit on three axes, as in the technology described in Patent Document 1. In such a gimbal device, the camera unit may be a zoom lens barrel that can be changed from wide angle to telephoto in order to adapt to various shooting scenes. In this case, if the center of gravity of the zoom lens barrel moves due to the focal length, the accuracy of the gimbal control is affected, so for example, the technology described in Patent Document 2 prevents such a situation from occurring. Specifically, the technology described in Patent Document 2 moves a balance member in the opposite direction to the movement direction of the center of gravity of the zoom lens barrel, thereby suppressing the change in the position of the center of gravity of the zoom lens barrel and preventing the occurrence of a situation that affects the accuracy of the gimbal control.
  • [0004]
    However, the technology described in Patent Document 2 adds a balance member and its movement mechanism to the zoom lens barrel, which are not actually necessary for the camera’s functions. Therefore, the technology described in Patent Document 2 has the problem of being an obstacle to weight reduction and size reduction.
  • [0005]
    The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has an object to provide an imaging device that can be made lighter and smaller while ensuring accurate gimbal control.
