Very odd. This has a higher write speed (up to 1500) than my Agfa (1200). I tried again. Fastest mode, mechanical shutter. I go over 100 frames and no buffering and no issues navigating menus or previews afterwards. Check you have latest firmware?
Nope it is JPEG and RAW but still... not great. Got the dreaded flashing light for the camera overheating too today, after doing some 4K 60!
send it back? I've never had that with 4K either and only once with 8K.
I think you are right that it has to be USB-C. I can tell you that a USB-C cable capable of 60W and 30W Charger is enough to charge. I would be interested in getting lower wattage chargers and seeing at what point it stops charging.
I use the MacBook charger which seems to be OK! Also got one of those Amazon USB chargers too for £9 that lives in the camera bag, which chargers the battery directly. Not too down for charging in-camera, as I have one of those rubber protectives on, it's a bit of a pain taking it on and off you know!
Wonder why prices fluctuate so much? I paid £3200 for the R5 and the adaptor and it's now £60 cheaper just 4 days later.
still a good price, no?
Hey Rob, I'm loving my EF tele's with the R5 - 200/2, 300/2.8, 400/2.8, and 600/4. I have Canon's RF to EF adapter and there is no impact on performance. At this point, I see no reason to switch to RF lenses. That makes me happy as it's why I hung on with the Canon system so long.
Of course.
I agree I think it's a bit better, or maybe I'm more practiced. For the first assignment post firmware update, af was 100% for c. 1400 frames. Not one single frame was not usable.
That’s good to know. I wouldn’t be in the market for the exotic primes hence looking at the 300mm f4 as I’d prefer a f4 aperture option as I often photograph wildlife at sunrise. I loved the IQ of the 300 f2.8 and 200-400 I had with Nikon a few years ago but I don’t photograph wildlife enough to justify one at present.
The extra MP of the R5 would be nice for cropping wildlife but it’s whether the additional cost is worth it for me. For most of the landscapes I do I either like wide (up to 24mm at present but could probably go wider if I had it) or telephoto 70-200. I don’t seem to like the 35-70 range too much but could allows add a 24-105 at a later date if I found a used one at a good price or maybe a 50mm prime.
Just finished today’s assignment and it was the same again. Love it.That's one hell of a hit rate, Tim

I just got the 70-200F4 and it is an astonishing little lens. Its just perfect for walking around with. Bitingly sharp as well.
All the reviews I’ve read seem to be positive so good to know from a current users perspective too.
I found this statement online.
Any idea if this means it's better to switch off OIS and just use IBIS?I found this statement online.
With non IS EF lenses you get the 5 axis IBIS doing all the job, giving between 4 to 6 stops depending on the focal length.
With EF OIS lenses, the 5 axis is partially shut down and only does 2 axis of stabilisation and the rest is done with OIS, so you're getting similar results as if you hadn't IBIS.
You only get the dual synchronised IS with RF lenses.
The number of stops depends on the focal length.

If you’re using EF lenses then I’d say turn OIS off and let the canon do the work.
I've had my eye on it for a few weeks now, going to order from E infin sometime this week.
looking good ? thanks for posting
