As a long-time 5Ds user I was eagerly awaiting the R5 MkII, hoping that (among other possible improvements) it would have a higher resolution sensor.
I'm an advertising and portrait photographer and mostly work in the studio using strobes so I don't need ANY of the improvements that the MkII has brought.
Even the image quality isn't better with the new sensor, so when the MkII finally arrived, I bought the original R5 new at a discounted price of just €2,400 (the MkII sells for €4,500 in my country) so I saved a lot of money.
Have any of you done the same?
PS
Yes, I need high resolution! My files are often cropped to death by my clients - they want a portrait crop from a full figure shot, etc.
The R5 MkII at its current price didn't made any sense in my case - the 100MP FUJIFILM GFX 100S II isn't that much more expensive.
I'm even toying with the idea of buying one instead of renting, the only problem is that I have too much Canon glass...
