Nice and congrats!

Thanks. It’s going to take some time to get used to the layout.

I’ve also had to order new UHS-II SD cards, seeing as it’s spitting out 40gb+ 40mb+ raw files.

I have to say though it looks a lot different than the sleek shiny promo images. Maybe it looks different irl and with a lens on

It is not a big camera.

That's insane, what mode is generating that? The 30 fps 8K 4:2:2 10 bit on my A1 fills my 80GB CF express type A card in ~18 minutes.

As such, I've only ever used it practically once for a "lucky shot" stacking of the moon. Can't remember how many hours of stacking processing time but it came out really really nice

Don't you mean 40mb+? Yeah that was my main concern with the R7 that only gives 16% larger images but ~30% larger files with not many advantages over the R10. Have you tried C-RAW yet?

That I gathered as the mirrorless Canons have been rather compact since the M range. As long as you're happy with the look and feel.

Just raw photos. They vary in size but I don't have the sort of fast cards I'm going to need for 3000+ of them at a time.

Yeah - my bad. I'll correct that now.

That's TBD - I bought it used so I won't take much of a hit if I decide to sell it again.

The uncompressed RAWs on my camera are just over 100MB a pop :oops: When they updated the firmware I started using the small and medium compressed RAWs instead. Often don't need the extra cropping ability so I rather go for storage efficiency

Here's the specifications

Normal RAW files should be ~35MB while C-RAW should be 18MB.

What camera is that? Can you record different resolution RAW or are they just more compressed?

I've got an A1. You can pick between uncompressed RAW, and then compressed RAW with small, medium and large options. Can't remember the difference exactly but large is full res at 51MP, medium is 20 something MP and small is 12MP. Makes a huge difference to file sizes

@bwana Maybe you should look at this

Should I Use Canon's C-RAW Image File Format?

Are there any reasons not to use Canon's C-RAW image file format? We answer that question.

Unfortunately they want uncompressed raw but I will play around with it.

Picked up on some quirks - while I can use my 7Dmk2's LP-E6N batteries, and I have a lot of them, it won't let me use the mechanical shutter at the full burst rate of 15/sec unless I use the newer LP-E6NH. I can still shoot in electronic shutter mode but that leaves me with a staggering 30/sec to contend with. Oddly enough I can run the camera at the full mechanical shutter burst rate if I plug in my power bank or laptop charger.

Did not know there was two different battery models and that it for some reason affects the features. As for the RAW, technically it's still compressed but what Canon is referring to with compressed is lossy compression where they throw away some of the low light detail. As the guy explains you can see a difference but you actually can't see which one is the lossy vs lossless compression as there's just too many variables to account for.

I don't know who the "they" are and I'm not sure if there's an actual difference in the files or way to tell them apart from average file size.

That they're raw, or in this case craw, is baked into the exif data.

Can only be that the older battery can't supply the required current to run the mech shutter at those speeds.

Out of curiosity, why do you prefer the mech shutter? On my camera I've prob taken 100k images of which maybe 5k have been with the mech shutter.

With the excessive shutter speeds, there should be a setting to cap the max images per second. I usually leave it on 4FPS or so and assign one of the lens buttons to make it 30FPS when I need.

I'm not sure. Wouldn't be an issue with a battery grip...

There's no chance of rolling shutter when using the mechanical.

Makes sense. Can't say I've ever noticed it outside of video though. I think that's more because the shutter speed is low than the sensor readout speed. At least in my applications.

You should come over to Sony my friend :p

We even dedicated dials to choose the FPS on the fly
