r/videography on Reddit: Shoot in 4k 60fps or 1080p 120fps? (Canon EOS R6)
July 2, 2020 -

Hello, I'm a music producer getting into videography to produce some videos for my music. I'm most likely gonna buy the canon EOS r6 which has capability of 4k up to 60fps and 1080p 120fps. I want to shoot slow motion, but at the same time I want to upload good quality content on youtube since I want to produce music videos. I see that most videos on Youtube are uploaded at 1080p, so I don't know if I should shoot on 4k or 1080p. will it affect the quality if I shoot 1080p instead of converting 4k to 1080? I see that some videographers have amazing cameras and end up converting to 1080, excuse my ignorance but I don't understand why. Is there anything you guys would recommend to record good looking music videos? I was considering saving for the r5 which will be able to record on 120fps 4k even 8k 30fps, but I don't know if I really need it.

Thank you so much, any help is extremely appreciated!

Are you sure you need more than 20mp? I wouldn’t go lower for photo personally but for video it’s more than enough. 4k is only around 8-12mp I believe. The a7sii was so good because of its fewer, larger pixels

Storing and editing 4k footage just isn’t worth it for youtube when compared to upscaled 1080p footage on a 4k timeline. You still get YTs fancy compression with upscaled 1080p (it normally only saves this for 4k files) so you don’t lose nearly as much quality, and the remaining difference between 4k and 1080 for most people is negligible. Most people view on a phone or small laptop, most people have their brightness down and only ‘half watch’ the video while swiping through Instagram, most people don’t check that it’s actually playing in 4k instead of defaulting to 1080p. Plenty of reasons against, and the only good reason for 4k is zooming in (which I’ve done about once a year on average), and obviously just being fun for us pixel peepers. Personally I’d recommend making sure you get at least 25p 4k and 120p 1080p (all Sony cameras have this at minimum nowadays) and beyond that I’d decide based off functionality and your own eyes comparing the results. I love the full frame sony a7iii (my main cam), but the frame rates and resolutions are only a very small factor. In fact I really don’t enjoy using my (second cam) a6500 in comparison but they both shoot 4k 25p and 1080p 120p. The sensor and the glass is key for how the shot is going to look, and the body, buttons, batteries and screen decide how happy you are while you capture it. Of course extra important small things like accessory mounting options, mic input and monitor output, you get the idea

r/elgato on Reddit: Canon R6 MKII software / hardware to record 4K 60 FPS 10-bit HDR 4:2:2 from HDMI port to PC on Windows?
April 10, 2023 -

Hi, and thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

I have a Canon R6MK2 which is able to record 4K 60 FPS at 10-bit HDR at 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. I want to be able to record at this quality of chroma subsampling directly into my Windows PC.

The camera does support this 4:2:2 when recording directly to memory card, and I assume it also outputs that same chroma subsampling via HDMI.

At the moment I have an Elgato 4K60 PRO MK 2 which is able to record the 4K 60FPS at 10-bit HDR, but no matter what I try, I cannot get it to capture the 4:2:2 chroma subsampling.

I have tried OBS but that seems to peak at 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, and I've tried XSplit but that appears to be even worse than OBS.

So do you have any ideas on how I can record the full 4:2:2 via HDMI output to my PC? What software do I need? Do I need a better capture card?

Thank you!

EOS R6 Mark ii + Sigma 18-35mm = 4k 60fps? - Canon Community
May 20, 2024 - EOS R6 Mark II can shoot in 4K 60fps when set to 1.6x crop or set to full-frame. I have verified this on my EOS R6 Mk II with RF 28-70mm full frame lens and then RF-S 18-150mm lens fitted which forced crop mode.

The EOS R6 Mark II features improved resolution compared to its predecessor. A Canon-developed 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor with approximately 24.2 effective megapixels enables the camera to capture sharp and detailed images, even in low-light scenarios. Regardless of conditions - whether day or night, indoor or outdoor - dark portions of the image, even at high ISO speeds and increased sensitivity, are rendered with low noise. ·

FCP X - Canon EOS R6 4K 60 fps issue - Apple Community
Hi FCP X friends. Hoping you can help. We have a new Canon R6. We shot a promo with it in 4K 59.94 fps, using Canon C-log. I imported the footage into FCP X and every clip was lagging and barely editable. I chose the option to transcode media, and asked it to make proxy files.
