New Canon EOS R6 Mark III Specifications Revealed

[Surab]

It’s not an orthogonal—Sony clearly compromised on readout speed to hit 33MP at a reasonable price.

The discussion did pertain to which sensor is better or worse, but simply the besides the 2 Sonys all other entry to mid-range FF cameras are 24 MP. So it is very orthogonal to this discussion.

 

[Surab]

Yeah, I know all about the R6mkii. Just wondering whether it makes sense trading the R5 for the R6mkii (or iii) in order to get the lightweight R8 as well and have similar ergonomics on both cams. R5 and R8 are totally different ergonomics. Anyway, I don't need to answer this question, since I can't see myself parting from the R5

I think 5 and 6 are closer to each other than the 8 in terms of controls.

 

[Surab]

I would never replace the R5 with an R6 II, even though I could pretty well get along with it as second body.
"Only" 24 MP would not deter me from buying a camera.
But lack of a high definition EVF, of IBIS, of dual SD, of E6-LP would!
I'd nevertheless suggest waiting for the R8 II, there could be some interesting new features...
Speaking of ergonomics, I was myself in such a dilemma.
Would I buy the "inexpensive" R5 (Panamoz Euro 2630) ot the R5 II (Panamoz Euro 3540)?
I chose the R5 II for identical ergonomics (switch!).

The R6II has IBIS and LP-E6, but I agree with your assessment to not switch from the R5 to the R6II.

I was referring to the R 8 of course, not to the R6 II!

You really want a slow sensor? Go buy Sony. Or if you want some really heavy camera you can go buy Nikon. It's cool that bodies are a bit different here and there.

There doesn't seem to be anything new in this particular rumour. New flippy screen, check....sensor readout between R1 and R3...check....and it'll be 24mp...check...and it's gonna be the same price as the mk2 when it ws launched...check.....and we'll keep selling the mk2 at a heavy discount too....check.
Soz, am I missing anything we didn't already know?

For the rest we will have to wait and see. Perhaps: a CFexpress slot, upgraded EVF, more programmable buttons (incl. pre-capture) An upgrade of pre-capture itself (settings) can also take place.

I see... Well, let me thank you for your recommendations because that's what I was looking for..

Maybe that "Brand new 24MP sensor, stacked CMOS". But that is as precise as the edge of a bank of fog

Also don't forget that the R8 has "only" two dials unlike the R6 and R5 series. That in addition to the larger battery, better EVF and better ergonomics for my hands were the reasons for me to go for the R6II even though I'm just an amateur.

R8 main differentiation from R6ii is just dual card slots, battery and IBIS. When it comes to control dials.... Most RF lenses has multi-function ring that can substitute a dial, IMHO R8 controls can be effective as R6ii
(Thx Canon for bringing 75-300, I can't say all RF lenses has the multi-function ring now )

Have You ever used the ring of a 100-500L?
Or have you tried to push the switch of a 200-800 to the center to activate the ring without looking?

A related point, for all those who have complained about all of these new-fangled RF lenses being focus-by-wire and lacking that wonderful tactile feel of having the focus ring mechanically coupled to the focusing group in the lens, the RF 75-300mm is the answer!

However, Canon made one design decision for the RF 75-300 that I, personally, find very disappointing. They eliminated one of the great selling points of the original EF 75-300 III, as described by Canon marketing: "The front part of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a luxury touch." I guess the RF version is not at all luxurious. Bummer.

Yes, Canon designed the control ring at the front of the lens, it's not easy to get used to(I was using Sony that puts aperture ring in the inner most), but it makes sense.

Not much sense to me - I'm with @Nemorino that using it on the RF 100-500mm is too much of a pain.

Ok fair enough, but I actually turned that ring off on my lenses. Not a fan at all. Maybe I would not have, if I only had 2 dials.

IMO, Canon developed Fv mode (first seen on the EOS R) specifically to facilitate effectively controlling the exposure triangle with two dials. I waited a long time to try it out, once I did I was hooked. My R1 C# modes are all based on Fv, and it’s where the mode dial on my R8 stays. I wish Canon had included it on the PowerShot V1.

I first saw Fv on the M6m2 and I was sold. I still like this body/platform today for that reason. I seldom use the other mode types these days - Fv subsumes them all.

I read about it and used it briefly when I got the R6II but then wanted to start using M "properly" and forgot about it. Maybe I should revisit it.

I have neither used nor tested the FV mode. I don't even know what it's about.
Shame on me!
I'll give it a try as soon as possible

The A7IV has a 26.8ms sensor readout speed—but I guess megapixels are an easier concept for Sonyboyz to grasp.

I am a Sony fanboy because i gave Sony as an example? You absolute moron! Why you think for landscapes or portraits the sensor readout speed matters at all? With mechanical shutter it doesn't matter at all.
