Reviews of the long anticipated second generation Canon full frame mirrorless cameras are emerging. The R5 has stellar performance, and a rumoured UK price of £4199, body only. The R6 is a 20mp camera, body only £2499. The R6 lacks the top screen, silent shutter and various video modes, has dual SD card slots as opposed to the R5's 1x SD + 1 x CF Express. Both have IBIS. My first impression is the Fuji X-T4 ... More on fujix-forum.com

Out of curiosity, why a 5D? Unless you already have a collection of EF glass you’d essentially be buying into a system that is only gonna see a drop in R&D resources. The new 1D and possible 5DV are essentially just pro bodies for working professionals that have all of their glass and don’t have time to promptly learn a new systems ergonomics. The upcoming R5 is the true spiritual successor to the 5D line, as it’ll actually have access to the new RF glass(as well as all EF glass) and has a lot of mirrorless exclusive features that are only available to DSLR bodies in sort of wonky gimmick methods like using mirror-up live view. I’d also highly doubt a 5DV getting IBIS like the R5. In terms of a a Fuji vs Canon comparison; it’s no different than it always is in that you have an option for Full Frame with canon and don’t with Fuji. Canons are typically a bit quicker to pick up in terms of ease of use. Both Fuji and Canon highly prioritize how important bitrate is for video unlike Sony. Having come from Canon(the 5D and R) to Fuji, I can say that I MUCH prefer the majority of XF glass to any EF glass at similar and even lower price points, but 15 years from now RF glass could very well be the system everyone looks up to in terms of first party glass. The best way to know which system you’ll enjoy most is to actually use those systems, so maybe just consider renting a 5DIV or EOS R. But to me it sounds like what may scratch your itch would be something like a future X-H2, so maybe hold off until there’s more news on that. More on reddit.com

I purchased two FX3's a few months ago as a video-only upgrade to my Fujifilm X-T4's. I've always felt the FX3 IBIS was superior but really wanted to test them out side by side in a few situations I commonly find myself in. Honestly I'm surprised how well the Fuji kept up with the Sony and Canon! More on reddit.com

If you're really that new to videography, I'd do what was suggested to me in almost the same scenario. I'll preface this with the fact that I was super deadset on buying new and starting with the best, and it was super difficult for me to do the right thing.. but super was helpful. I wouldn't buy a new camera if you're on a limited budget and you're hoping to start doing work with just that $2,000. Unless you have a separate budget for other things. Basic reasons why: a) You're going to have no idea what you're doing. It's better to learn with something still great/but older gen/cheaper so you can actually figure out what is important to you and in the future upgrade in the better direction. If you don't know the difference between what you'd want out of an R7 or GH5 or X-T4, it really should be a red flag in some ways that you're not ready for them. I desperately thought I needed a GH5, and read all the things and said "wow this is great I need XYZ feature like internal stabilization how could i ever use one without it" then ended up buying a used GH4 (which doesn't have stabilization) and realized I absolutely was better off learning WHY and WHERE I need stabilization by not having it on my camera and learning other important things to helping stable shots before having a cheat code. Simple speaking you just don't have any idea where your needs will be with a camera as a new videographer, and you're future proofing for types of shots you aren't ready or capable of doing. & b) You're going to spend more money than you can imagine for gear that will be absolutely non-negotiable for anything videography. Videography is expensive. I thought my camera was going to be the biggest bulk of my cost. Wrong! I have had to spend more than just my camera's value on tons of stuff to make basic shots look ALRIGHT. Stuff like lighting, tripocs, cages, recorders, audio, all cost insane amounts of money to get anything that will function reliable in a professional setting. A tripod alone can cost you $600-800, or a single key light. Even if you go cheap on everything, you at bare minimum will end up spending $500-1000 bucks just to be moderately prepared. Like.. do you ever want to shoot in the daylight? Better get yourself a filter or good luck getting good range. Of course you can rent some stuff, which is normal maybe for a key light or something, but still it all costs money. Money which you might be putting only into a camera/body, which you're better off getting used at a good discount, and using the rest to buy important accessories. Also, once you start shooting huge footage? Guess what bubba, you're gonna need a strong computer to run it, and aside from that? Storage space which will cost you MORE money. I shoot for an hour with 422 footage and end up with literally 300gb of files ungraded. The nice thing is usually if you're dealing with a used decent camera, you are often getting it from another enthusiast or videographer whose upgraded. (what I did) Which usually means they've taken good care of it, and sometimes will give you tips on it's use, have already messed with settings to achieve best results with that body, or it might come with extra batteries/accessories. All stuff that adds up. Like I mentioned, I got a GH4 with 2 lenses and 3 batteries for around $500 instead of paying $1,700 at the time for a GH5, which allowed me to spend money on an extra lens (also used, $900 lumix for $250), lighting, storage, tripod, etc. and still came under what I wanted to spend on a camera alone. And for the next 2-3 years continuously found week after week new things that I needed to buy to make basic shots or my cage/equipment work, and am thankful still to this day I didn't buy a GH5. I now also know for example, what is important for me in a camera, like the Auto-focus on Panasonic's suck so it makes it hard to self shoot, and the limited MFT lens selection is a con, and in the future will upgrade away from Panasonic. But I still to this day use my GH4 as my primary, still learn new things, and it's still not being used to 100% effectiveness I am sure. A GH5 would've been wasted on me. More on reddit.com
