Here are a couple of images of the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II

Glad to see the R5 ii getting the photo/video switch same as R6 ii (where the old on/off switch was), and the on/off switch now moved to the top where your right index finger can access, makes for much quicker switching for photo & video, and makes switching on and off much quicker and great for quick one handed use!

I personally like it more how the R5 has it done. Since there is no mechanical photo/video switch you are able to assign that function to M-fn button which allows for a faster switching from photo to video with one hand. I can maintain the shot and easily switch between two. With R6mk2 I have to remove the arm from the lens fo switch and in my use case it is less practical. I know few people that also love it since they do photo and video of a same thing simultaneously.

yes. it's the same if we take stacked bias frames, etc for astrophotography, they have to be the same time length as what we are shooting.

it's honestly the most accurate way, even though it takes the longest.

it should help, but it won't replace LENR. your mileage may vary depending on how long your sessions last.

you know if you don't want to do LENR, you can read up a bit on astrophotography bias and dark frame subtraction - and do it manually before you shoot for real - it would be close enough to the final product. especially if you shoot in a relatively consistent ambient temperature.

usually I would make up one set of bias and dark frames at the ISO i tend to shoot at, and simply use that - since you are using multiple images over time, it was "good enough". Every now and then you have to update them though as the sensor ages.

I've used dark frames for astro before.

I think they can be used for 'normal' long exposures too, but it's a bit of a hassle too. For example, if I convert raw to TIFF and apply a dark frame, I can't do noise reduction in LR (as it currently only works with raws).

What I'm hoping for is just reduced hot pixel problem in the R5II (say 5DIV was way better in terms of the hot pixels) and/or maybe more user-friendly LENR, say with an ability to take dark frames separately but apply them in-camera.

Then you're not trying extreme long exposures, or much astro. It's a real problem. Not unique to Canon, but a real problem none the less, and the R5 doesn't perform the greatest in that department.

Yes, you are right. I am not doing much of long exposures. I stand corrected.

I have a nagging feeling that we've even had this conversation before

A couple of more images of the R5 mark ii floating on twitter. Apologize if posting them is against any policy.

Canon's approach to removing them is actually the best - even if it is the most annoying method.

dark frame substraction minimizes the algorithmic star eating that other cameras can have.

I doubt if this would be against policy. so it does have a vertical shutter!!!

 

[PGSanta]

The new EVF looks enormous.

That's not the cooling grip, it's the standard grip.

 

[sanj]

Oh. Ok. Thx.

 

[Askeladden]

No shutter button on the grip is such a Canon move. Now people have to get both grips if they want cooling if if they want a comfortable experience with when doing photography. Canon must have something against just all in one products. Maybe it's potentially more money but more annoyance to their loyal customers.

It's a applesque move for sure. Speaking of.. the most applesque phenomenon i have ever encountered is with the Olympus OM10 where you had to buy an additional knicknack to unlock custom shutter speeds.

I'm not sure. that grip doesnt look right against the images I have. which show the grip being the same size as the camera and not sticking out like that.

but to be fair the images I have are at a slight different angle.

Meh, I think it's much more likely that they couldn't jam the necessary electronics to add another button, and maintain the air flow they wanted.

Good spot; that does indeed look very un-Canon like.

Probably the same as the R3. the extra space is for the eye-controlled AF but the screen is is not much different than before.

Also no vent holes. The new grip needs to vent it out.

Nope! Proper German Asbach Uralt Brandy, Sambucca and Canadian Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey are my liquid arms of choice!

Welcome into the convo Harry.

How is your 32k480p camera doing these days?

It's actually 150 mm by 150 mm single-wafer CMOS and GaN image multi-spectral sensors at 64k by 64k and 128k by 128k resolution at 128 bits per pixel RGB+Depth sampling that is Nyquist downsampled to 64 bits RGB+D Pixels (16 bits per channel) at 1000 fps to 10,000 fps.

Lenses are Sapphire coated optical grade Acrylic for multi-spectral imaging capability in single lens and stereoscopic camera setups.

Displays are RGB colour micron-scale laser emitters with eyesafe filtering via metal coated micro-lens arrays. 16 bits per RGB channel ultra-HDR COLOUR!

Watch our websites for updates!

If Canon does not have 16 bits per RGB channel FULL RAW stills and video recording on both vameras, then Canon IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM-D !!!!???
