The R7 finally solves Canon’s 4K 60fps dilemma

I’ve been desperately trying to find a reliable way to shoot 4K 60 in a small form a factor. The Canon cameras that offer 4K 60fps are listed below with their weaknesses.

R6- beautiful but overheats

R5- overheats. Adding Atomos Ninja makes it cumbersome

R5 C- chews through a battery in 30 minutes. Adding battery grip makes cumbersome

C70- crop sensor, large body

IDX and R3 - price and size

I usually film skateboarding events at 1080p 60fps but this weekend I decided to bump it up to 4K 60p on my R6. There were 3 events with an hour cool down in between. I got about 30 minutes each event of 4K 60 until it overheated and the rest was shot full HD. When I finally edited the video this weekend I was stunned at how good the 4K 60p was. Crispy, able to slow mo, add stabilization in post, crop in… it was a dream come true. I couldn’t fathom going back to simply full HD. Here’s what I shot

All week I’ve been trying to figure out a solution to shoot more 4K 60p with Canon and kept running into issue after issue. I was particularly disappointed with the R5C. I shoot weddings as well and needed a B and C camera for ceremonies that shoot 4K and most importantly a 4K 60p camera for dreamy slow motion shot with a Ronin S. The only viable option I’ve found is the R7. I figure I’ll connect it to my Ronin, pop on my Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and I’ve got an equivalent 28-56mm f2.8. Not bad.
I’m just sharing my experience with guys just in case someone else is going through the same dilemma I am. A 4K 60p camera that doesn’t overheat* is a good sign for Canon. Makes me hopeful for the R5 and R6 Mark ii

R7 - 4K 60 fps, but using line skipping or cropped. I do not know about R3 in this regard.

4K 60fps has got a fair crop.You will have to take that into account.

The R7 is an APSC crop sensor. It does not apply an additional crop in 4K 60fps.
You might be thinking of the R10.

This is correct. Either adding sharpening in camera or in post can help with this. It is an extra hassle I do often with my EOS R.

I have pre-ordered an R7. Yesterday while shooting bird photos here in Central Texas with my R6 I got several overheat warnings and video wasn’t available. It was hot outside in the high 90s but I was mostly in the shade with a decent breeze. I typically do shoot some video of birds as well so it sucked not having the option. Hopefully the R7 will be better in this regard.

Well, overpriced it may be, but the R3 is pretty light for what it is. It’s lighter than the R5 with a grip. It doesn’t overheat either. I’d say it makes a great wedding camera, although I don’t shoot them. See Vanessa Joy’s YouTube review.

I am not a Sony fan boy, and shoot a lot of video with the R5. I also shoot skateboarders.

But if you are serious about slow motion and video quality, then the Sony fx3 or a7s iii is better than any of the Canon offerings. They shoot 4K 60p and 4K 120P with no overheating (fx3), no line skipping, and full frame.

Here is a skateboarding example shot in 4K 120p:

https://youtu.be/wb07_yXaKJk

The GoPro Hero 10 also shoots high quality 4K 120p, and gives you a wide perspective you may need - in your video in many of your shots you cut off subjects because you are too close or not zooming or panning fast enough. Zooming is really important for following action, and many Sony zoom llenses are near parfocal. A crop camera (APS-C) makes shooting fast action more difficult.

Thanks for sharing your videos, I really enjoyed them.

I am into another board sport, windsurfing in my case. It is interesting when you see some very accomplished togs and videographers try and shoot these kinds of sports. While they may produce a competent result, you can really see the difference when the creators also know the sport intimately. It is not just the moves, but knowing the riders, what they do and where they show their flair. That really makes the difference to me.

Thanks. This is absolutely true. Recently, a local Contest organizer hired some surfing photographers for his skateboard competitions and it’s been a weird couple of months working around them. None of what they know from surf photography applies to skateboarding. And likewise, I would be lost trying to capture surfing in a way that reflects their sport properly.

The new video still cuts off heads and more when the sb gets close and does his trick. It is clear you do not use zoom to frame, and I think that results in this phenomenon, which I find to be a limitation. Maybe you think cutting off heads is desirable, fine. This is not personal, it is about equipment and technique. Zooming in video is a standard technique used in all sports by professionals. And the fact is that most camera zooms by Canon do not zoom without losing focus or cannot zoom smoothly. That is an important limitation for action sports video, and not zooming is not the remedy. Some Canon zooms are ok, but lack of power zooms is a real constraint. Besides lack of full frame hfr without crop or artifacts. I don't think any of these hybrid cameras and lenses are ideal for sports, especially skateboarding, which is among the most challenging. Btw, your sampled videos are otherwise great.

Hey, man..

Which canon lenses you use more often?

I mean, there is the 8-15 fisheye, probably the most used lens for skate... even people who use Sony cameras, normally put the canon fisheye on it...
Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens 4427B002 B&H Photo Video (bhphotovideo.com)

Maybe there will be a new one with RF mount coming:

Patent: Canon RF 11-24mm f/4L and Canon RF 8-24mm f/4L Fisheye | Canon Rumors - Your best source for Canon rumors, leaks and gossip

But my question is, what about the telephoto smooth zooming kind of lens?

I'm a skater myself, I want to buy a kit, but have not decided about Canon or Sony. I have seen some people praising the Sony pz 18-105 f4 (APSC).

I've serched for Canon PZ lenses, without success. So, is there a Canon lens i can zoom smoothly? Power Zoom is really necessary?

Holy jeez!!! An 8-24mm RF?!!! That sounds magical! Yes, the Canon 8-15 is pretty much the standard in professional skateboard film making. I was days away from purchasing one until a buddy of mine told me about the Tokina 10-17mm fisheye. Now there’s two types of that lens. One with and one without the lens hood. You want the one without it. Ideally you want to pair with a full frame camera for maximum distortion and vignette since that’s the common look of professional skate videos.

I’ll share with you my set up. I’m shooting with an R6. I keep it rigged with a cam caddie scorpion EX. If you get that I recommend the cheese plate so you can tripod mount from time to time and definitely get the “lock out” kit as well (or just get the “Pro Kit” that comes with everything). My zoom is the RF 24-240. It is a dream. In body stabilization, lens stabilization and a touch of digital stabilization has improved my footage greatly, as far as smooth zooming…. Tons of practice and repetition. Here’s the latest flick I posted on yesterday where I use the zoom extensively. Hope this helps

R7 4k60 is the line skipping version, R5 does line skipping too in fullframe but 5,1k oversampling in 4k60p APS-C mode.

I have not overheated my R5 in 4K60p APS-C mode yet

I understand that you are not up to date with current skateboarding film making trends and styles so allow me to introduce you to William Strobeck, he is skateboarding’s most respected and most imitated filmmaker today. He is the official filmer for Supreme and skateboarding’s hottest company “Fing Awesome.” If you think MY zooming is nauseating, buckle up partner because its about to be a bumpy ride…

Have you tried using IPB light? I shoot skateboarding with my R6 (mostly fisheye) and recently tried IPB light at my recent wedding gig, shooting 4K 60p. Now I didn't shoot everything in 60p but the camera did not get as warm as it used to be using the regular IPB codec. I can't see any difference in quality and I've really tried, except for the much smaller file size! Might be worth checking out! But yeah, a dedicated video camera is unfortunately the ultimate way to go, even though they too get hot but at least they got fans built in.
