Thanks Matt! This is a really helpful video. We haven't made the jump to mirrorless yet, and hearing about the dynamic range on the R5II makes it more likely that we update to it for our future shoots.
This is so informative. Thank you! I wanted to ask if you anything about the movie cropping mode on it? I have super35 cinema lenses. I wanted to know what do I lose in that mode
Glad you brought that up - I’d like to get more into this in another video because it’s a little thick, but to me the main bummer is you CANNOT shoot raw in crop mode like you can on the R5C, and also limited to 2k/120 or 4K/60
@@MattRamseyTube Oh, I love all the features of this camera but was afraid to buy because of those reasons. If you make a video specifically about the movie crop mode, i would love to watch it. Subscribing to you rn!
I'm recording my first dance recital today with my new R5MKII. Looking forward to seeing the results. My main camera for this has been a Panasonic AG-UX90 (Camcorder) which does pretty good but the low light wasn't the best. Last year I used my Canon R6 with CLOG 3 and it did a little better. But based off the footage I got during stage rehearsals this week, this camera is going to blow the others out of the water. Just have to deal with the heat... Fan pointing at the camera with remote microphone should do it.
That will be a big step up - curious to hear how it handled heat. I did a very long (6 hrs) session indoors recently and was able to fill a 1 TB card with 4kHQ and no overheating. I expect outdoors in the sunlight will be the real problem, and I've had that cooling grip on order for a month...
@@MattRamseyTube The shoot went really well yesterday. Being a Halloween recital, it was shorter... 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission and then 30 more minutes. I recorded in 4KFine UHD CLOG 2. I had set up a small fan about 3 feet behind the camera just to get extra airflow over the camera. I was elevated and didn't want to risk it being too hot up there. But it only got up to 4 bars on the heat bar after 45 minutes. The quality turned out excellent. I shot the whole thing on a Canon 50mm 1.2 at ISO 800, f2.5 with the exception of one number which I was most curious about. There's a dance where it's total blackout except for black lights which light up skeleton bone outfits. For that number, I raised the ISO to 4000. It turned out so crisp and sharp and no visible noise, the best I've ever been able to record that specific number. I'm really liking the camera.
I haven't had my hands on either of those, but I've browsed some great comparisons like this one for wildlife stills: th-cam.com/video/_Hv2tVaFLwA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oZhmTauT9Ffiyc_i
All data rates are lower on the R5II including 8K RAW. In 4K 120p the data rate is 350 Mbps and on the R3 it's 1080 Mbps and it's across the board. You can't shoot 4K 60p and you lose detail with line skipped video. So dig deeper and see what short cuts Canon had to make with the R5 II. Canon limited the R5 II and didn't limit the R1. So everything that's lacking on the R5 II is in the R1.
@@MattRamseyTube You have to have the data or you won't have that dynamic range. They go hand in hand. That's why dynamic range test use the highest RAW file possible.
@@MattRamseyTube How do you like the R5II 2 weeks after these comments? I didn't see any Komodo X compression footage that's what I meant with my comment. I will do some R5II vs Komodo test and see how the R5II does.
@@contentm3893did you do some tests yet ? Curious to know if a mirrorless camera can have that secret sauce that red has. There is something about c70, komodo, Venice and arri cameras where the image looks cinematic and organic even if you point and shoot at a tree lol idk what it is.

@@noeleb8538 Nice work, I'm sure it was appreciated!
So the sraw is perfectly useable!
The SRAW has been a game changer for me.

Great video! Matt I wonder if you have ever used a Nikon z8 or z9? I am very curious how R5 II compares to nikon z8.
I haven't had my hands on either of those, but I've browsed some great comparisons like this one for wildlife stills: th-cam.com/video/_Hv2tVaFLwA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oZhmTauT9Ffiyc_i

Great info - the topic of this video is dynamic range, but the data efficiency is always worth considering.

@@contentm3893 Cool!
R5 MARK II DOESN'T HAVE IBIS HIGH RESOLUTION SHOT (400 MP CAPTURE) LIKE THE R5, ITS PREDECESSOR HAS!!! AND IT'S DR IS ALSO WORSE.
The topic is concerned with video quality, but those are good things to keep in mind.
Until the R5 II footage looks as good as the Komodo X then it's not. Your footage does not have RED's deeps or color data.
That's why I supplied the footage, glad it helped you decide.
