I live in just about the flattest place in the world and 60Nm are fortunately more than enough for my old legs to keep up now with the youngsters. They no longer overtake me on the inside and threaten to push me into oncoming traffic.
i have very rarely used my 5D4/5D2 batteries in my R5, they dont last very long. The extra power provided by the R5 cells makes for fewer cells to carry in my pockets. So, for me, it is nice in theory that i could have just used my old cells in my new camera but in practice doesnt move the needle much. Anyways my daughter is using the 5D2 batteries in the 5D2 and my wife is using the 5D4 batteries in the 5D4. I wonder though how fast R52 will go through these high current batteries. I needed 4 batteries for a day of shooting tennis with the R5, will I need 8 for the R52?
Yes however someone tore down an E6N, and from those images you can validate the continuous discharge of the cells used.
Theoretically, yes, especially if you mix in video. I hope it does better than that, but we’ll have to await real world measurements.
The E19 uses 3 CR18650's.I get the backward compatibility niceties of the LP-E6 form factor but it isn't the best design IMHO.
Using CR18650 batteries (15mm longer but still 18mm diameter) would give a huge increase in capacity. Currently (pun intended) the circuitry of the Canon battery is on the end of the batteries but if it could be on the side/between the batteries (like the NP-FZ100) with electrical contacts there) then it would improve a lot of the current constraints.
maybe I should work for Canon
I'm not sure of the current price but after visiting again vs when I lived there many year ago, the biggest difference was the electric buses and scooters vs petrol powered. Made a huge change in emissions and noise and the consumer cost to changeover would have been hard. Unfortunately, you now can't hear the scooter before it hits you.
I got burned once with 3rd party batteries for cordless power tools. I know there are good ones, but the only real way to find out if they suck is to buy them.
Soo.... you're telling us that you'll join Canon to make sure the R5 III has yet another battery type? But this time with different contacts/form factor to make sure there is no backwards compaitility????I get the backward compatibility niceties of the LP-E6 form factor but it isn't the best design IMHO.

There would be no backward compatibility unless 2 sets of electrical connectors are in the new body for old/new batteries which would be pretty clever engineering. Canon can pay me for the idea... not me as an employee.Soo.... you're telling us that you'll join Canon to make sure the R5 III has yet another battery type?

The R5 does not have baked RAW above iso 800. It’s the other way round, the R5ii does. Bill Claff indicates this by having downward pointing triangles for noise reduction being applied. The R5ii has the triangles throughout the whole range, the old R5 only at low iso.
Bill also admitted he doesn’t have an objective standard for when to call it NR or not. Someone pointed out that other brands also have a non-flat curve and Bill states he uses his gut for deciding one way or the other.
The post which I had replied to, claimed that the R5 had cooked raw, namely:
