In fairness that’s nearly comparable to most APS-C crop modes, equal to Fuji 4K, and possibly was done to reduce rolling shutter (which probably says something about Canon readout speed and bitrates being offered.) it’s probably isn’t a deal breaker for the average person and you can think of it as a 80D with 4K maybe.Well I double checked and the 4k video crop is 1.74 - which is substantial.
As I am doing 4k video almost exclusively when I shoot video this makes unfortunately the Canon EOS R unusable for me - :banghead:
Would have been to good to be true ....
Well obviously our philosophy and requirements differ!In fairness that’s nearly comparable to most APS-C crop modes, equal to Fuji 4K, and possibly was done to reduce rolling shutter (which probably says something about Canon readout speed and bitrates being offered.) it’s probably isn’t a deal breaker for the average person and you can think of it as a 80D with 4K maybe.
I think marketing is generating issues where there were none for most with lens mounts. Leica has long used a mount smaller than the E-mount and produced high quality fast lenses. As an example look at all those Sony lenses that were at or near the top of DXO Lab ratings or do we just dismiss those thingswhen they aren’t beneficial to make a point?Weather sealing and a wide lens mount- two great aspects of the Canon and Nikon mirrorless offerings that are sorely missing from the Sony line up.
Just poor components overall that make up the Sony cams. The lens contacts in even premium cameras are not that much better than the one in the first NEX cam, for example.
Price of the new Canon camera is quite justified in comparison, IMO.
Well I wasn’t saying it was IDEAL but I did want to offer objective viewpoints. I personally wouldn’t want to be forced into a crop mode but many people use them effectively on a daily basis.Well obviously our philosophy and requirements differ!
I do not want to pay for a FF camera and carry around FF (big and heavy) lenses when I am only getting out APSC functionality for some important things like 4k!
Is unfortunately a NO GO for me and not debatable.

Nothing against any of these cameras. I think they’re all fine but I don’t know that they individually push the market to advance.
I agree the pricing seems 100% fair as well. Nothing that blows me away but certainly fair and somewhat better than expected (I hoped for $2k but expected $2500).
What would you suggest? What issues have you had with the components so far? I’m not against improvements at all and hope we see more of them.Not marketing. I have here the lens contact blocks from NEx’ and A7rII. Cheap stuff.
They really ought to improve the quality of the very few components that are in their cams.
They are not at all low priced cameras!

Not defending or anything of the sort.Already did. Stop using/making cheap stuff.
Tre, When people like you are defending every crappy thing Sony does, what is the point?
