Canon EOS R5 Mark II unconfirmed specifications

You can extract in-camera, which is much easier. You can also then delete the rest of the burst - or the entire burst - with one click. This makes it much easier than the other brands I have used.
This works for regular bursts as well! On 'temperamental' cameras like the R7, it's really easy to delete the whole out-of-focus 30fps burst in one go.

That's one reason I really miss Apple Aperture, which I used to triage RAW files prior to Apple killing it. :mad: Based on the time stamps, Aperture would automatically put bursts into a stack, making it very easy to either go through the stack and pick the best one, or just delete the whole stack as a unit.

I recently discovered 'stack by capture time' in Lightroom, scroll to the bottom of https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/grouping-photos-stacks.html. This was really helpful when I decided to import the original CR3 for all the DPP4 generated TIFFs, the auto stacking did an excellent job in stacking the TIFF + CR3.

Nowadays I use the 'stack by capture time' to do what you describe: group a burst so I can collapse them to have better oversight and then pick the best shot from each burst. I wouldn't mind some algorithmic/AI/ML assist that pre-selects the best shots based on sharpness and composition.

Canon Running slow ‘to protect its top Cinema line’ is not an option anymore.

Canon has to decide quickly about including cutting-edge tech down the camera line.

Complacency in the tech world often leads to obliteration. There are loads of examples: Da Vinci Resolve Studio now beats Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut hands down. DJI created the drone camera market out of nowhere, and SONY innovates and keeps including features faster than the competition. Fuji GFX and Hasselblad have brought medium format image capture down to near full-frame prices. Fuji is doing great in the APS-C space, and so is Panasonic with their GH7. High-end features are becoming increasingly affordable. The RF lenses are too steeply priced; no wonder many Canon users are still holding on to their EF lenses. The high prices of Canon RF and Sony glass have led to the mushrooming of smaller countless lens innovators like TTArtisans, 7Artisans, Laowa, Sirui, IRIX, Thypoch, DZO, Voigtlander, you name it. Some of these offerings are exceptionally good and innovative. The future is 3D, stereoscopic, Apple Glass, VR, 360 video, and mobile cameras are catching up fast. The traditional camera market has shrunk due to these new options for capturing images, Canon is already operating in a very small niche of the image capture market. So it has to ADD FEATURES to make it’s offerings attractive, because there are OPTIONS available.

Nikon x RED video cameras are on the way soon!


So, Canon Running slow ‘to protect its top Cinema line’ is not an option anymore.
Are you the new Nostradamus?
Or are you just taking your wishes for realities?

That would be helpful to me, if I used LR. But hopefully it helps others!
I tried it. Big lightroom fan, but not the auto-stacking thing. I will often be firing syncopated bursts, and lightroom gets confused. It's caused me to delete the wrong photos before, so I stay away. If your bursts are 1/2 second apart, I'd avoid it, or at least be super-careful when culling.

Which of these do you think is outrageous?
OR that doesn't exist in other Cameras already.

Most of these above features have already been achieved by the competition & at affordable price points. TECH is moving FAST.

On their own, they all seem like somewhat reasonable wishes, but add them all together and it just goes way over the top of what R5C successor might be - if we ever see one, and that's a big IF.

I don't see Canon adding ANY of the audio related features you listed to a compact form camera. There might be external separate devices, yes, but in a package? No.

I also don't see them adding ProRes or Arri RAW options. Even Canon raw is doubtful.

16 bit photos on a video-oriented camera... Doesn't make much sense.

Full sized HDMI is a reasonable thing, since it involves very little changes to the body and the internals. That is something that is likely to come, perhaps even on the R52. I have no idea why they went with micro hdmi, I hate those.

Clog2 - maybe, depending on the sensor.

I see IBIS as somewhat reasonable request, since Canon does have it, but it would require serious upgrading considering the wobbly / jerky results on R5.

Finally, the internal ND, while something I frequently miss from my big Sony cameras, is probably the most unlikely feature on your list. The ND mechanism would create a huge bulge on the camera and would very likely require extensive redesign of the body. You can't just cram it into an R5C form factor as there's simply no room for it. Not to mention IBIS + internal ND...

My R5 has raw light video or have I missed something?
No you haven’t missed it: “We know that the flagship Canon EOS R5 has a 45MP CMOS sensor, up to 20fps silent shooting with the electronic shutter and 8K RAW video recording”.
Source: https://www.canon-europe.com/pro/stories/eos-r-features-never-knew-existed/

Edit: Raw light was added to the R5 with firmware update 1.3.0.

As I understand it, there’s ‘raw’ and ‘raw light’ video, the R5 non-C gained the light one after a firmware update. Then there is ‘Cinema raw’ and ‘Cinema raw light’, the R5C supports ‘cinema raw light’.

I don’t know what the difference between the cinema and non-cinema raw formats is, but Canon marketing really likes talking about the cinema version.
