I'm blown away by the transistor efficiency in this generation of Canons--it's like a 2-generation improvement that definitely merits the refresh, even if it's not a flashy spec.

I've been waiting for a proper overheat test - most of the videos I've seen are people casually mentioning that it doesn't overheat, meanwhile they're shooting in Iceland, or the Canadian winter...

Hey Josh, thanks again for the test It tells a lot about the camera overheating behaviors. One note though. I guess this test is done in optimal conditions. Like the autofocus is ON but it’s not doing any calculations or work ( which stresses out the processor ) And the image stabilization is ON but again not doing any work. Other than that everything is excellent Thank you again we really appreciate what you do. 🙏

Will be interesting to see it in a hybrid use setting outdoors. I tried the original R6 as a hybrid sports user and it was unbearable so I picked up the A7IV to replace. I still have time to return it, but wanted to see some R6II reviews first. The 4k60 overheat time is not impressive to me and actually a little worse than the A7IV testing done on this same channel albeit with the screen open. Granted I shoot football highlights completely in 4k60 and regularly switch between photo and video during games.

@Josh_Sattin Жыл бұрын

I got 66-70 minutes in 4K60 on the A74 in my previous video. That is in crop mode. The R6 II got 62 minutes in 4K60 crop mode. Pretty similar.

@dusty_burkhalter Жыл бұрын

@@Josh_Sattin agreed but similar is not enough to get me to return my A7IV and some of the initial videos and rumors that came out at the announcement of the Mark II claimed “no” overheating which is not the case. Nonetheless it is definitely a big improvement over the R6. My R6 overheated and shutdown shooting photos only early in the football season.

Both the R7 and R6 m2 have greatly improved battery life. Both have greatly improved overheating. With computer chips, this usually means improved manufacturing. Therefore, I don't think this would have been possible through a firmware update.

My R6 mark ii never had the temp warning pop up while shooting video, until i got the ninja v and now it's always popping up after about 15-20 minutes. Doing the exactly opposite of what an external monitor is meant to solve and I can't work that out! It's only recording to the ninja v, and the LCD is off most of the time. Doesn't make any sense at all, I'm having to switch the camera off between recording when I never had to do that before using a monitor 🤔

I believe that you can. When the camera overheated in 4K60, I flipped it over to 4K24 and as it ran the temp meter started going down. I know this is the reverse of what you are asking, but the camera runs pretty cool in 4K24 so I think you could grab some 4K60 clips.

@juliancroot Жыл бұрын

The real question is how long can you record in 4k60 after a long period of recording in 4k30. I suspect it's similar to the previous generation...i.e. not really suitable as your sole video camera. I've switched to 2x Canon c70's because ultimately the questions in your head around hybrid cameras stifle your creativity. I also don't like that in Canon's mirrorless cameras the assistance features can't be combined...i.e. no peaking And false colour, it's either or.

@Josh_Sattin Жыл бұрын

@juliancroot Жыл бұрын

@@Josh_Sattin that's good to know that it runs cool in 4k30. Ultimately for me it's better to have 2 cameras that perfectly match and that I know will keep going forever in any mode. But the R6 MK2 does sound like a nice upgrade ... Or rather what the MK1 should've been. Don't get me wrong, I still have my R6 MK1 and happily use it for casual stuff, but for professional work I don't want any questions in my head about whether or not the camera will wimp out on me at any point. You're providing good info here, and thanks for the reply 👍

I believe the 4K60 crop mode on the Sony A7IV is a 4.6K oversample where the crop mode on the R6 II is a 1-1 4K readout. So, probably not much difference there. But, you can shoot 4K60 with the full sensor readout and a 6K oversample on the R6 II.
