A heavy snow falls peacefully in the woods in northern Illinois on a bitterly cold February afternoon.
I made this video partly as a test for the new Canon R5 mirrorless camera. Lens used was the 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM, shot at 60fps at 1/125 second f4. The video was slowed down by 65% to give a slow motion appearance.
First thoughts about shooting video with the R5- I hate having to switch from still to video by pressing two different buttons. Give me just one button and I'd be happy. Also, the record button isn't in the best location, and with gloves on, most of the buttons are almost impossible to use. I would like to have shot at 120fps- true slow motion- but haven't bought a CFexpress card yet- and 120fps is only available when shooting 4K. You can't record 4K using an SD card, so I was out of luck. I also have a 1DX2, and I believe I can shoot 120fps/ 1920 on my CFast card, so that might be a better camera to shoot slow motion with than the R5.
I liked the IBIS- in camera stabilization- I didn't bring a tripod with me, but the shots were very smooth, even when panning handheld. That was impressive. It'll be good to use this camera on a stabilizer for ultra-smooth shots free of a tripod.
