Actual hacker news.
This is really interesting though, in the context of Camera companies like Canon having to adapt to the digital age, and users expectations of what digital devices should be capable of.
- Jnr 6y agoCanon is well adapted to digital age. They simply sell much much more expensive professional gear that can do the unlimited 8K recording. If they were to add this feature to R5 out of the box, they could see reduced pro gear sales.
- Exmoor 6y agoThey don't, actually. The R5 is the first, and currently only, Canon camera that records in 8k. They do have a line of cinema cameras, but all max out at 4K currently. Likely because they use the smaller Super 35mm sensor to match the film size film folks are familiar with.
- Nexxxeh 6y agoThis whole human malware business meant getting decent webcams and Camlinks (HDMI capture devices) extremely difficult and/or expensive for a while. Logitech C920 were particularly difficult and expensive to get, which long lead times. So in April, Canon came out with a utility enabling use of many EOS (and three Powershot) cameras as high quality USB webcams.
