Previously, we compared a 4x5 film camera to the Canon 5DS R, and the film camera was able to produce incredible results. We mostly focused on the differences in depth of field for that comparison.

Photo By Theresa Ditson Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Snowy Morning at the Grand Canyon” by Theresa Ditson. Location: Arizona. “It was a very blustery morning on the edge of our state’s natural wonder,” says Ditson. “I had been wanting to capture a winter scene here for years and finally was able to. My hands (I have Raynaud’s) exceeded their tolerance of exposure to the cold (despite gloves), so I had to go out in short segments. By the afternoon, the sun had helped melt most of the snow, except for the very highest peaks and shaded regions. Hope you enjoy.” Photo of the Day is chosen from various OP galleries, including Assignments, Galleries and the OP Contests. Assignments have weekly winners that are...

The post Yes, the Canon EOS R5 Will Have True 8K Video (And Much More!) appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. When Canon officially announced its next mirrorless camera, the EOS R5, a number of specifications stood out. The camera promised to right the wrongs of the EOS R/RP pair, by including in-body image stabilization, 20 frames-per-second shooting with an electronic shutter, and dual card slots. But as impressive as these features seemed, most incredible of all was Canon’s claim that the EOS R5 would offer 8K video. Note that the current standard for mirrorless cameras is 4K/30p shooting, with cameras offering 4K/60p considered especially suited for more serious videographers. And while the best of...
