Article Comment – Too Hot To Handle? The Canon R5 Heat Check

If I cared about 1080 performance solely I wouldn't bother upgrading. 4k is perfect for down-scaling, repositioning the frame, or utilizing warp stablizer. Idk what you mean by "normal mode" in 4k? I also shoot a lot of fashion stuff in 120p, and the weather is rarely under 90 deg here year-round... A camera that can't handle continuous recording in all the various shooting modes it offers wasn't built right imo. Sony's A7SIII seems to be able to handle heat much better from preliminary tests I've seen online.

Article Comment – Too Hot To Handle? The Canon R5 Heat Check

Unlimited? See test 6... Canon also said use a external fan to cool down the camera. Go ahead and buy it, I'll pay the same amount for a camera that can actually function in the real world.

Article Comment – What's the ISO of Your Eye?

I would argue that although it is evident that dynamic range is indeed better with our eyes, the exposure differential given by your example is just because our eyes are really good at exposing for what we are focused on. A camera could do so, but there is a lag between what the operator wants the exposure to be and the camera in terms of how fast the operator can adjust the camera.

I can't tell you the manufacturer of the arm, but I can tell you the company that specializes in 'spills, drops, and general slow motion goodness' is a German company called The Marmalade

Article Comment – Breaking Down the Cinematography in Justin Bieber's 'What Do You Mean' Music Video

First and foremost, the narrative, whats the motivation? I understand that its sort of a push-pull relationship that he's trying to convey, and that through this 'act' he is trying to "open her eyes" to show her that they have something special? But hell, I know that if I were in that situation I would probably be extremely pissed, and not immediately begin laughing and having a good time.

Secondly, this breakdown on average cinematography. It's like they saw the motel light and made an entire scheme out of that. It just is unmotivated, and doesn't make sense.

Also, big air bags like that don't take 10 seconds to inflate, it was clear that they weren't there before they jumped.

Anyone else feel they tried to copy 'The Game' 1997 and failed horribly?
