You are correct - the issue is file system compatibility. Many newer cameras use the ExFAT file system instead of FAT32. ExFAT does not have a 4GB limit. Surprisingly the GH4 does not support ExFAT. However the DVX200 does. So there is a lot of hope that the GH5 will as well. But can anyone confirm it?

Who's jsfilmz?

Does anyone know if the GH5 can write files larger than 4GB? The GH4 split long clips into multiple 4GB files. The files could be seamlessly stitched together in post, but it was annoying, especially since I shoot a lot of long events with multiple cameras and would end up with hundreds of clips to sort through. I hope they fixed this issue with the GH5. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry but the debate is over.

Digital won.

Now stop arguing and start making films.

Yawn. Canon marketed the 70D as a video-centric DSLR due to its new dual-pixel autofocus (sidenote: Sony and Panasonic have already had continuous autofocus in their mirrorless cameras for years). Keeping in line with that marketing, the 80D (and 7D Mark II for that matter) should have included 4K video to stay relevant as a video-centric DSLR.

It makes no sense why they won't include 4K video in this day and age. Is it to protect the price point of the 1DC? It's so overpriced that no one will ever buy one anyway! Instead of 4K they give us 60p (a feature they withheld from even the C100) and act like it's a big deal, while practically every Sony and Panasonic camera on the market including some point-and-shoots can do 120p or even 240p and beyond.

The zoom adapter is a nice concept, but Sony and Panasonic have already had servo-zoom lenses on the market for their mirrorless cameras for years now, including some very nice ones like the Sony 28-135mm f4. Seeing as the Canon adapter is probably too small to work with the 24-70 or 70-200, it won't interest many professionals. You can pick up the Sony equivalent of the 18-135 with servo zoom already built in for half the price of the Canon lens.

The shotgun mic is nice but overpriced compared to what you can get from Rode. How about giving us proper XLR inputs instead like Sony did with the XLR-K2M unit which pops onto the hot shoe of the A7S and runs off the camera battery, giving you two phantom powered XLR inputs? Canon has nothing like that on the market.

Canon is falling farther and farther behind. As someone who got his start with Canon cameras, it's just sad to watch. They have alienated half their clientele by ignoring the needs of video shooters and insisting they buy their overpriced C100/300 line instead. Canon doesn't seem to get that video shooters, not still photographers, are the main market for professional APS-C cameras. Pro still photographers are gonna go full frame. Amateur still photographers are gonna go for the cheaper Rebel line. Who does that leave to purchase the 80D if not video shooters?? If they added 4K video and cut the price a bit these would sell like hotcakes. Instead they will sit on the shelves.

Brace yourselves... the "why no full frame??" comments are coming in 3...2... 1....

Doubtlessly from ignorant 5D users who don't know that the full 35mm frame is not a standard frame size in modern cinematography.
