Both the B-26 (Marauder), and the A/B-26 (invader) have the engines "slung under the wings"..
OK, technically, the engines are mounted in front of the wings on both aircraft. I was referring to the engine cowling on the A-26 that extends around the chord of the wing giving the appearance of the wing passing through the engine cowling; the B-26 has no engine cowl above the wing, thus looks like it is "under" the wing.

So the R5, it seems that Canon intentionally left out the cooling fan and/or additional heat sink material to keep the profile small and light. They readily admit that there will be issues if you plan to shoot extended 8K, or even 4K/120 using it as an "A" camera. Looking at the R5 realistically, canon has created a camera that, at a $3800 price point, surpasses most every other camera available today as far as features, and allows the user to duplicate footage that can only be captured on a $60,000 RED body (which has it's own gremlins). This is a case of the consumer (me) getting so spoiled in their expectations that they look past the technological milestones and focus on the weaknesses. Another way to view the R5 would be to see it as a platform that allows incredible 8k full frame capture, 4K/120fps footage, with certain limitations, while also giving the shooter 48MP still resolution at frame rates up to 20fps in complete silence.
I spent several hours analyzing the specs and YouTube reviews yesterday and combined with Canon's detailed explanation of their thought processes re: the R5, I have a different perspective. Whether I'll jump on it as quickly as I had planned, not sure at this point, but I understand it a lot better than I did 24 hours ago. The comment that really put everything in perspective was, "How much 8K will you actually shoot, how long are your average 4K/120fps bursts? The worst case scenario is that you have to dial back to 4K/29.97 where you can shoot all day long in just about any ambient temperature, and shoot 48mp stills........" The camera still works for my Ronin S application and at 48mp may eclipse the quality of my 5DSR bodies for some still work. All food for thought, after all, what else do we have to do with our time these days but think........................?...Show more →
It seems that the "8K" in R5 is all about "I am here" and "I can do it". The main power is the FHD and 4K, and not mentioning 20fps 48MP crazy output, in a compact form. My understanding to that is, they are slowly destroying or leaping other camera makers, e.g. Sony (mainly). I think they did the same to Nikon when 5Ds/R was released, many photographers left their dark side and returned back to Canon.
Right you are. Apparently, from a very reliable source, the overheating rumors are greatly exaggerated, and the white paper released by Canon was somewhat of a truth in advertising strategy to get out in front of the whiners. Will it overheat in Phoenix in July shooting 8K/120, most likely, If that's your typical workflow then you best have a couple of them on hand. A RED that shoots 8K starts at $60K (body only), will overheat in those conditions too, so at $3800 a body it's an incredible deal. I'm told that the IBIS is out of this world. Hopefully I'll have a production copy in my hands before too much longer and I can do my own testing.
I have no doubt they will
Get some existing canon pros to upgrade. I have no doubt they will get some re money than sense YouTube people convinced they need it (they don’t) to switch from Sony. I have no doubt they will attract in the first year or two a fair bit of attention. What I don’t see is a strategy to move beyond well earning pros that is going to bridge the gap for the next 5-10 years for those who are existing canon customers and don’t want to pay £3000 or accept a ridiculous aperture range for a lens/ adapt older glass. I don’t see them attracting a lions share of Sony users who have invested in Sony glass Becuase it will take Sony a very short time to catch up. Most Sony users will stick with it Becuase they know that.
I’d also say that given the Sony user base now the word of mouth is heavily on their side.
I’m a canon shooter. I’d like to see canon succeed. However I remain unconvinced after the initial influx of pro money they have the ability to wait out those limited numbers upgrade paths. I am not convinced enough to spend thousands into their new system that they will be around in five years, let alone ten.
Competition is good and I hope I’m being overly cautious. I see a lot of wow response from a very very small % of the already small remaining camera market - and I don’t see them attracting new shooters unless they get some decent non L glass out. Between that and Sony dominance I see a lot of problems.

Why would anyone who is vested in Sony glass jump ship at this point? That only makes sense if a new product is so far superior to what one is shooting, that you can make your investment back in short order by delivering a superior product. Canon will be around for a very long time, as will Sony. Unlike all the rest of the camera companies, their pockets are very, very deep and their fortunes are not dependent on photographers, pro or otherwise. We'll all likely continue to benefit from their rivalry.
Personally, I'm kind of anxious to mount up the 600/III and shoot a little 8K, or some 4k/120, just for grins.
Since 50's (I believe), the main motivator in the advertisement industry is invent a problem then introduce the solution, you are having a lot of problems with your manual broom, so buy this automatic one and all universe's problems will disappear!
When I was photographing the Challenger 350 at Dallas Love Field on Monday morning, this special Southwest scheme was taxiing out for departure, Illinois One.
Today we say goodbye to our final 747 VH-OEJ as it departs Sydney for the last time. #QF7474 will taxi past Shep’s Mound & receive a water canon salute, before taking off just after 2pm, completing a special lap of honour over Sydney & surrounds. Watch it live on @flightradar2[Twitter Link]
Hi All - first post in quite some time as I have not had an opportunity to shoot anything airborne in the last few years. Baltimore's aerial eye over a recent demonstration...

Gero, brother, where have you been all that time?!
Well Boys and Girls, I can tell you first hand that the rumors of R5 overheating are pessimistic at the worst. Can't divulge the where, who and how, but I can tell you that it will shoot 8K/29.97 in 96 degrees until the card fills up. I can also tell you that the form factor, non-blanking shutter/viewfinder, EVF, and the user interface are wonderful, as is the IBIS. The dual pixel AF coupled with AI has to be experienced to be believed, it knows what you are thinking. Not only does it lock on to the subject, it begins learning it's features so it can recognize it as it turns and rotates, scary smart. I'm so pumped about the R5 and there's still quite a bit I need to learn.
I’ve had something brewing for a little while... on Tuesday this week I took delivery of a new laser cutting machine! Of course I have a load of things I want to make on it, but I thought I’d start with these ;-)
