Unfortunate, but the right decision. Your casting is out of this world at the moment but the Canon is letting you down. As others have suggested maybe it's possible to shoot some BTS content with the Canon and seek community feedback. Tweaking as you go...
SLR Originals is getting back to 8K Canon production
- Edited
g2kbuffetboy For me, the bump in visual picture quality is awesome in my Pimax 8KX. The new 8K videos are noticeably sharper and colors are better too. I really was excited when these new 8K canon videos started to rollout.
This. I'm so fed up with all the people with their low-budget headsets and cheap players who claim that there wasn't a bump in visual quality. Even in my mid-tier G2 with HeresphereVR it's so damn obvious and I can only imagine how good it must look in a Pimax.
doublevr The Canon videos from other producers don't look good either
That's not true at all imho.
rerun119 To me the last camera was the best Image quality I have ever seen plus the scenes they shot with it. I would say the last 6 months before they switched the camera that that was the best run of video making any VR company as had. That's why to me it pained me so much to just stop and then just start all over with new company's and lenses. Please go back to perfection.
Which companies do you mean? I guarantee you that at least CzechVR and WankzVR look better and more crisp than 6k SLR. Nothing perfect about the old rig.

I have a G2 too, and I agree that at least some of the Canon videos look better, qualitywise. It's the girls that look like giants that totally ruins it for me.
gurphh Giants? They look like slightly bigger than in most other scenes if you use the correct settings (Fisheye, 190°). But I guess things are either great or ruined these days, no middle ground to be found anywhere...
LordCrash I do use correct settings, and I've tried both DeoVR and HereSphere. I realize the scale thing isn't very important to some. But yes, for me, personally, videos where the girls are this big really are ruined for me. I'd never watch any of them. So wanting slightly lower quality visuals instead of that is a no-brainer for me. Personally.

Yeah but that
GFE: Octavia Treat - Busty Blonde Pornstar in Lingerie Virtual Girlfriend Experience SLR Original
It was looking good up till the upclose mish (wich was looking really good camera positions wise) and the laying cg, but boy the picture was looking hella big-ish kinda more then the mean girls...
I'd watch it but it wouldn't be something I'd download and keep. 
...would of been a epic scene if it weren't for the big-ish looking scale.
But I will say
Big. Black. Tits. - HD VR Porn SLR Original starring Lily Starfire

We're looking good scale wise if this was filmed with the new cannon 8k.

Vrsumo2017 We're looking good scale wise if this was filmed with the new cannon 8k.
Yes, they were.
SLR_SLR Originals_All Hers_4000p_27660_FISHEYE190.mp4
Vrsumo2017 Ofc they'll look good if girls are on a smaller side
Lily Starfire is 5 ft 0 in (1.52 m)
Vanessa is 5' 1" and 115 pounds.
Philip Lily Starfire is 5 ft 0 in (1.52 m)
Vanessa is 5' 1" and 115 pounds.
WHAT! no way, they looked taller but it didnt look to bad, but I rather them look their real height.
Hell for long time I thought Dee Williams was on the tall side, wasn't till recently I had to look her height up cuz she looked short in her new naughty america vr scene, turns out she 5'4
But wow if Lilly 5' 0, hell! we need a do over with her, she's a hottie! A Lil shawty hottie too! 
5'1? Would have never known based on the video alone. Yea, scale is definitely off.

Octavia looked perfectly fine in her latest 8k SLRO scene. It was imho pretty much one of the best scene I've seen in quite a while, finally Octavia in all her glory. I love that the girls seem to be a big "bitter" actually, that way you can fully enjoy their glorious bodies, especially such an exceptional one like Octavia's. Not sure what's so great about tiny models who hardly fill 10% of the screen before me on a "traditional" old-school cam. You call that "realistic"? Fuck realism. This is better than reality. I almost instantly came when I saw Octavia in cowgirl in this scene, so insanely hot and sexy. It's imho easily her best scene yet by a far margin, due to her performance, due to the amazing direction, due to the intimacy and due to the camera word AND the tech. The time Octavia spent on "full screen" detailed cock sucking, egg sucking and dick licking was simply breathtaking. I can't imagine a better angle or "size" for that stuff, it's simply perfect that way. It's such a shame that we now go back to the old, out-dated and comparably worse setup. There was no focus issue in this scene with Octavia at all imho and video clarity was phenomenal. It was imho simply perfect.
So please, for the love of God, before you scrap the new cam and cave in to the "old school" guys on their oudated headsets, please shoot at least one last scene with Melody Marks on the new cam, just like the one with Octavia. Let's just call it "Making it up to you, part 2".
Stop staying "old school guys on their outdated headsets". You're basically straw manning legitimate complaints about the new camera as cheapskates who don't know how to play 190 videos.
Just look at "The Pool Boy" video. Look how many people have issues with scaling. The girls there look like giants. At one point, I tried to put my hand where Skylar's hands were and then alternate between headset / real life. Her hands look almost twice as big as mine. This is immersion-breaking and basically ruined the scene.
For me, the best VR videos are those that trick my brain into thinking I'm there in the scene. The best way to break this immersion is by having bad scaling. When girls look giant or tiny, it instantly tells my brain that I'm looking at projections and takes me straight out of it.
I would love for SLR to fix the issues with the new camera. However, they should do it on the side and not at the expense of good casting as they've done recently. The last month has been a complete waste with 80 per cent of the scenes being unwatchable either due to poor scaling or poor focus.

So, you admit the scale is larger than life.
You enjoy the scale being larger than real life? Great. That’s perfectly fine. I have no problem with that. But please don’t insist that others that don’t like it are wrong. And somehow living in the past with their antiquated headsets.
I think most people want the scale to be true to life. Unfortunately, the Canon rig doesn’t provide that. At least for my IPD. And I use the same headset as you.
As far as Octavia’s scene. The scale wasn’t too bad during the first part of the scene. When she was at farther distances, she looked slightly too large. But it wasn’t extreme. But on the bed. When the action was close up…GigantorVision. Which was probably your favorite part! 
Anyways, I’m not trying to pick a fight with you. If you like the larger than life scale. More power to you. But I think there are enough people that don’t like it, that SLR can’t continue using the Canon rig at this time.

You do realize that's just a matter of taste, right? I'm (sadly) almost only attracted to girls of the more slender type. Tall or short doesn't matter that much. But I still wouldn't want them to look more slim than they really are.
Also, you got the above wrong. The girls take up the same percentages of the screen on both cameras. The difference is that on the Canon, the girls appear to be further away than they really are, which makes the brain think they are bigger.

Not really...
raider968 legitimate complaints
Every complaint is legimitate in the eyes of the one making it, dude.

bacula8630 So, you admit the scale is larger than life.
I don't know. I watch porn through some VR googles which is something entirely different than life. It's just a cool gimmick for porn. I also have to admit that Octavia never sat right in front of me and I never fucked her so I think I have to leave that question open.
bacula8630 But please don’t insist that others that don’t like it are wrong.
Sorry, dude, but I will continue to see it that way. I guess you'll have to live with it.
bacula8630 I think most people want the scale to be true to life.
I think you're not in the right place to claim what the majority of people want. Or did you do extensive scientific research on the topic? I really love it when people try to lecture me that I shouldn't do this or that but making up complete bullshit up on their own. You don't want me to judge on you? Maybe don't like like you're speaking for somebody else than yourself...
bacula8630 Anyways, I’m not trying to pick a fight with you.
LOL. If you don't want to pick a fight then don't write things that imply exactly this... 
bacula8630 More power to you.
Pretty easy statement for you to make - well knowing that the new cam won't be used anymore. So how is that more power to me? It's actually no power to me. You guys got your will and we're back to the same stuff everybody else does, not enhanced, just boring reality. Sigh.
