News Canon EOS R1 and R5 Mark II Finally Announced!

[Photofarmer]

Not even the pre-shoot feature? Press the shutter release when you see lightning, get the half second before? Saw that referred to, I think in the Jeff Cable article linked above...

triggers can render some camera functions void wonder if that is case with pre shoot

Not surprising - but you got the R6 MkII already. And if you were lucky you passed because I suspect the MkIII is going to be amazing. I might need to grab one next year some time.

A few canon buddies some R5 some R6 1 and 2 all agree if and when a R6iii comes out 2026 maybe could just well be canons best ever who knows

The only at .5sec preshoot is not as good though

Is it "only .5 sec" or is it "minimum of .5 sec"? I've heard the second but not the first.

I'm hearing R6iii maybe early next year.

According to the head honcho at my LCD the R5iis are “imminent”, and the R1s will be August. Not long to wait…

Wow gotta love you tubers. Shifting sheep for about a hour listened to a R5ii review. Makes canon R6ii redundant big statement but a caveat only had it for 13 hours and no low light hmmmm
