I don't know if anyone here is interested, but I am selling my mint Sony PXW-Z280 with all the original accessories plus two S&S adapters and two 256 XQD cards. 75 easy hours on the camera and it's in the original packaging. The Z280 is nearly impossible to find and it's a great camera, I'm just standardizing with Canon.
Here's an oldie from the files FA18F Super Hornet Miramar airshow 2006 did a re edit with adobe super resolution and sharpen it with topaz. There were a couple of artifacts but i took them away with contend aware. I think it's all right

Thanks all, hopefully this year some actual stuff but the variation is dying out because so many european countries are switching or have switched to the F35 and hopefully the covid situation is also going down will see.
The super resolution is handy if you have raw files that are a bit small, like from the older camera models.
If the file is sharp you would be able to create a larger tiff from that there is some information available on the net..
I watched an in depth Q&A with the chief product manager for the R5c. He was grilled pretty hard over the external battery requirement and the decision to drop IBIS. His answer to the battery issues was pretty much, "hey, where else are you going to get 8K/60P HQ RAW in a compact form factor like the R5c?", and I guess I'd have to agree. The ability to shoot that, plus 4K/120 as long as your cf express cards hold out, is pretty remarkable. This IBIS issue is a bit more difficult to decipher. He claims that IBIS doesn't play well in panning (and I will attest to having experienced that first hand), so they eliminated it. What the reviewers aren't saying is that the camera has a new and very sophisticated IS system that works perfectly in the cinema application. I guess I'll have to see that in action in a few weeks to determine the effectiveness of that system.
Something that is a bit misconstrued is the fact that adding the battery booster pack solves the external battery requirement while shooting 8K RAW, if you want the camera to talk to your lens. One still needs an external power supply, like an Anker or a small Anton Bauer with a D-Tap. I don't see myself shooting a lot of 8K so it's not a big deal, but having the option is an advantage.
So if I keep my R6 and get a r5 C I would have a sports camera, high resolution landscape/portrait camera and a top of the line video camera for the grandkids cheerleading, drill/dance team and marching band performances? That could be awesome.
I thought the Canon marketeer had a good decision about IBIS vs electronic IS (if I understood it correctly). It could be a disadvantage for a non-IS lens in the photo mode, but video wise you get the electronic IS?
Overall the video provided a lot more insight to the video considerations that I have had questions about. I haven't done any video since the Hi-8 days. Todays video have many more inputs and menu considerations to understand before you push the record button. The big issue that has kept me away from using video is the post recording process, storage and usage. In other words, after I record a video, how do you quickly process it and store it so you can repeatedly share it with the family and others? It is not like you have a VHS/Hi-8 tape to stick in a machine connected to your TV.
Looks like I am finding something to dig into, I like learning new things, I find it invigorating.
Right you are Ray! I love IBIS in the R5, especially for run and gun video, but it will goof you up on occasion by jerking a pan around. The IS, like 6th stops with an IS lens is plenty for any still photography needs. IBIS for me is strictly a video thing and in specific scenarios.
You will not be bored if you venture into video. There are so many codecs/frame rates, etc. that it is a constant learning curve. Truthfully, nothing that you shoot straight out of the camera is in a sharable form. A handy freeware tool that I use to convert videos to a sharable size is "Handbrake". The interface is very simple and efficient, you just choose the video, then select the codec you want it converted to, typically mp4, and hit start. The storage architecture for video storage is daunting compared to still work, but the demand for video is exploding so it's worth getting familiar with. The R5c has a couple of wrinkles that require work arounds, but one just needs to step back and put this all in perspective, look at what this camera offers.
I have not had much of an issue with overheating, the temp warning has popped up twice in the entire time I've owned the camera. That being said, I would not be too keen on it shutting down and then dealing with long cool down windows. The R5c eliminates those concerns entirely.
Looking into the future, not too distant future at that, I see my perfect system being comprised of the R5, R5c and the R1. Once those bodies are in my hands I'll sell off the 5DSR's and start liquidating EF-L lenses in favor of RF upgrades.
I find the idea of having to learn another heavy processing software for video a bit daunting at this point. I have a bunch of GoPro videos from Cat’s playing days that I haven’t done much with. Just archive right now.
I think I tried a DaVinci trial, but there was just so much to learn and I had no time for that.
Oh Mark, a trial of Resolve just makes you realize that you don't want anything to do with video editing! I love Resolve, but I've learned it in very small bites, to do anything else is so overwhelming it is self defeating. I'm pretty fluent in Final Cut Pro X and an infant in Resolve. DaVinci Resolve is the most capable editing and color grading software on the planet, it's wonderful, but it is also the most complex software I have ever tried to master.
