Thinking about what pictures you can make with any kind of todays DSLR or MILC I wouldn't call any of those "trash".
It's pretty obvious that it won't get a stacked sensor, because cropped 4k60p points towards a much slower readout.
Releasing a R6 mk ii doesn't necessarily mean that Canon wants R6 users to upgrade. It just means they're upping their options available to new customers, current DSLR shooters who are about to switch to DSLM and most of all to have a more competitive offer compared to the competition. And therefore, a Mkii makes sense even if there are only small changes.
It's crazy how often the R6 gets overlooked and downplayed on forums and Youtube. It's essentially a pocket 1DX, at an insanely good price. If you told me 5 years ago I'd be able to get that in a package I would have laughed. I get how we have new normals with generational leaps, but it really is unbelievable as a sports shooter. Personally own an R5, but have an R6 at work. We love it.
I can only assume you're calling it a full-frame Rebel due to its pixel count, which is not at all a fair assessment. The R6 and any Rebel are worlds apart.
I can understand that thought.
Your assessment makes a lot of sense to me. I think if they can make a few meaningful upgrades to the R6, they price near $3k without hurting sales of the higher res R5 or faster R3, and that would make room to price a stills focused R replacement just over $2k. Then, they can introduce an RP replacement around $1k to control that market share at the low end of the full frame market. Then, they throw everything they've got into an R1 and charge as much as they can.If this rumor is true (CR 3 is basically a fact) it is fantastic news! I've been saying for weeks in R8 rumor section that a really good R8 (R successor) is only possible with a R6 mk ii so it doesn't cut into each other sales. So, if the R6 mk ii we can expect a great R8 camera for its value. Probably not the specs posted yesterday, but with IBIS, 30 mp, improved AF (over the R) and FPS. If both cameras are on the way, I´get one of them...
It really feels like Canon is reshuffling the line-up now. Make room for an R8 and than later have space for an R9 (RP successor).
Probably should sell my R while it is still worth the money...but I love it so much
I believe that's how it's going to happen. They'd have a complete lineup.
And I am guessing that they are deliberately working to put them on different cycles. The two originals came out simultaneously, but maybe they want to not upgrade them the same year from now on. So the R5II might come out one or two years later than the R6II...and THEN we'll see a regular 4 year cycle (or however many years they decide on), with the upgrades coming out in alternation rather than together.
And I'm glad they can make the R10. If my dedicated-copy-stand-macro T6i craps out, the R10 would fill that niche quite nicely (same size and resolution sensor). (On the other hand it might be total overkill...best to wait for the three digit models, perhaps.) I'll be in trouble, though if the lens craps out before the camera, since it might be hard to find another 100m macro lens that will work on an EF(S) mount.
Thanks for listing all that, that comment which you responded to was absolute ignorant rubbish.
All I know is I need $2k-$3k saved up to buy either an R6 mk i, R6 mk ii, or R8 in 2023 depending on how this all shakes out. Can't imagine ever needing more than that for myself. I'm really happy with the RP, but the updated eye autofocus is these new cameras is incredible.
