If you are already an R6 Shooter do you think you might be tempted by the Mark II?

If you are already an R6 Shooter do you think you might be tempted by the Mark II?

No.
Will consider upgrading when the ~100MP thing comes out.

 

[JCBigler]

If they get rid of the 29:59 video record time limit I will definitely upgrade from my R6.

 

[RedCobra]

If it uses the 24mps BSI stacked sensor of the R3 I might pick one up.

Where does this now leave the R5? It now seems it's suject select focus is falling behind these later models. There has been no firmware updates for a while now for the R5 and it would appear we will have to wait and shell out for a MkII if wanted.

It really depends if the R5mkII is next or the R1 is next. If the R1 is next, I could see Canon doing another firmware release for the R5 to apply improvements they have learned from the development of the other models. My bet is rumors will start coming in early 2023 that will provide some indication of Canon’s intent.

Sure would like that 135L

Questions on the "moving HDR" mode. Has anyone seen the results from it? And is it always a jpg?

Who has received a RF135f1.8 from B&H. I ordered mine Nov 6 and continue to wait. Maybe before the end of summer?
