Canon EOS R5 Mark II sensor resolution likely to stick at 45mp but with new AI features [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Same.
I have the R5 and I'm extremely interested in moving to FUJIFILM GFX100S II 100MP sensor. I can get away with two GFX lenses: GF 32-64mm R and the GF 100-200mm R + teleconverter and get an effective range of 25-380. Cropping the 100MP images to fill the gaps from 64-100 and 280-380.
The 16bit RAW coming off GFX cameras are beautiful.

global telcos do have "global sims" based on their roaming agreements and the power requirements are generally much lower for local cell towers vs satellite even if low earth orbit/starlink options

I've walked up to that line many times. And still may. The gfx and lenses have sat in my cart at by for quite some time.

There's nothing inherently magical about 45mp. It is used widely because of 8K. If you do not shoot 8K videos, 45mp is not particularly better than other resolutions.
Moreover, let's not confuse "making sense for everyone" with "making sense for someone". Some people are happy with 12mp, some are with 24mp, some are with 30mp, some are with 45mp and some would be with >45mp. Every resolution makes sense to someone

On the whole, I don’t like subscription model, but for cameras, and even phones, it could make sense if (a) the hardware is future-proof enough to last for 15-20yrs – excellent weather sealing, high mpx stacked sensor, etc; (b) hardware replacement with advanced version is possible (eg. upgrade of sensor); (c) a reasonable pricing for each feature; and (d) allow for once-off purchase of features that come with 15-20yrs of updates. In this case, I pay for what I want/need rather than have to pay for half the features that I don’t use. For instance, I don’t shoot videos much, if at all, so a basic set of video features (whatever basic mean to the manufacturer) plus fairly full stills features would do nicely for me. Overall, it might make economic/usage sense for the consumers, but not sure if it does for the manufacturer, as new bodies will not need to come onstream so frequently, potentially reducing profits. Anyway, Canon probably knows what it is doing and will come to a decision that prop up its margins, hopefully not too much at the expense of the consumers.

In what world is 45 low resolution. That’s much higher than most cameras already. The average is 24-35. I’d MUCH rather not go up to 60. What canon needs to do is come out with an “r” model like LUMIX, where it’s focused on the shooter who for some reason want higher MP.

They HAS to AI-boost the AF system - something I’ve been dreaming about for years. The intelligent options today are like Cars and animals like birds and pets (!!) but as a pro I find myself struggling every week with horse riders, mountain bikers and skiers, all with helmets and googles, all far away against a forresty backdrop so the camera has absolutely no clue what I’m hunting for. The AF is all over the place, maybe one hits the target and then it’s gone. Same with show jumping. Obstacles in the way all the time, and no sorry - the tools I use isn’t fully up to it.
It doesn’t help much with a “face” or “animal” option - we need a tool customisable for whatever target I desire to frame today. One that recognises the rider with its helmet, googles, horse or bike or skis/whatever as a whole, locks on it no matter what and makes my day and helps me getting the only thing my customers care for - a good looking tack sharp picture

it's not that simple, every lens have some degree of field tilt, zoom are usually worse in some of it's range, from EF era higher MP rarely improves the actual resolution much, and most "good copy" of lens will ended up noticing side to side sharpness difference due to field tilting. plus 60MP have the pixel size so small that randomness of photons hitting the pixel take up more and will definitely results in pixel level higher noise, all these combined might not give you practical resolution raise but at the cost of higher processing speed and power needed.

Buying a different camera brand... pricelessInteresting; would be cool to have the R5 II with subscription!
Basics:
45mpx sensor but capped to half res when saving to card, IBIS is there but disabled
One-shoot AF
People's Eye AF
Basic speed AF
Battery power cap (camera wouldn't use more then 50% of a battery, then you have to recharge to 100% to use again)
1080p60
4k30
Flipping rear display but locked in place by electromech lock
Subscriptions:
Full 45mpx res - 200$/year
IBIS enabling - 100$/year
Full battery usage over 50% - 80$/year
Enhanced speed AF - 50$/year
Servo AF - 35$/year
Bird AF - 20$/year
Car/Bike/Plane AF - 20$/year
Dog/Cat AF - 10$/year (5$/year if you have at least two dogs and a cat, and can send documents to prove. Subject to approval by Canon)
1080p120 - 20$/year
4k60 - 50$/year
8k - 100$/year
Flip display unlock - 50$/year

On the R8/R6II (and likely R50) Canon added support for different modes on the USB-C port. If you pick the apple mode and connect it to your iphone, the camera connect app is suddenly lag free!
I’m expecting the R5II to inherit that and other features from the R6II firmware.

Any technical improvement is welcomed, regardless what you call it (AI or anything else). Better low-light performance is something I always look forward to, with less noisy high-ISO. A global shutter is something nice to have too... I\'m greedy, I know
