Ok, it is possible to shoot fro 4 hours continuously in HQ 4K 60 mode, under the proviso you record externally and remove the memory cards from the camera.

Rather boring Youtube video, but Gerald Undone also reacted, which is quite interesting. His limit for video with regard to approval is 3 hours continuous shooting.

There also is this interesting video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0x9Vdckfg comparing a RED and EOS R5 8K .

And finally, here is Gordon Laing reviewing the camera for stills photography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT5GeNH3...e=youtu.be

Kind regards, Wim

Videographers do not want to do 60fps at normal video speed, dave. Only people who know nothing about video think that. 60fps is for slomo, 120 fps is for double the slomo.

No videographer will shoot weddings at 60 fps for normal speed playback.

The question is, why do you think or pretend that 60fps at normal playback speed is something videographers actually want/do?

30 FPS gives a smooth TV look to the video shot, 24 (25 PAL) has a cinematic feel.
Sports might be shot at 60fsp, to allow for smooth slowmotion playback.


And as Wim points out, the R5 can shoot 4K60 HQ mode (better than what the competition does due to oversampling from 8K) for a prolonged time. For videographers like you, Dave... ;-)

As Wim has pointed out, you can shoot 4K 60 FPS

  Wim got there a little late !!   .... I posted the link to Gerald Undone's video  (second post on page 2) .......  ....and stated those "very facts" ..... (check it out)........ but thanks for the belated heads up, albeit three days after the fact !!

Rightly or wrongly, some people "are" shooting 4K at 60 Fps for normal P/B speed and that is a fact ! ..... B role is often shot in 4K 60 FPS also ...... mostly shot by human beings ......   

Atomos is going to do real well out the R5 ...... maybe they"ll even sell a couple to A7SIII owners ...... superfluously! .....
