Correct. It had a 30min limit before stopping
Consider canon just teased Cinema camera on its Chanel’s and that camera looks like FF c70 this could mean no R5c mk2
Agreed 100%, so tell me how is Canon offering a camera that rivals a 3 year old body supposed to entice me as a Canon user with tens of thousands of dollars invested in the system to dump more money into the system? Don't get me wrong, I think the R5 Mark II will be a great camera but seeing these specs that are so similar to the a1 knowing that the a1 II is right around the corner and will just immediately leapfrog it does not make me want to drop another $4k on a Canon body.
Do you buy a Canon camera because it beats all competitors or do you buy a Canon camera because it suits your real needs ?
The jump from the R5/R5ii price point to the a1 is very similar to the jump from the a7iv to the R5.
It’s probably not. Very few in-line camera updates offer significant improvements over their immediate predecessor. Likewise, probably very few camera owners upgrade their camera every 3 years. Rather, the main target market for the R5II comprises owners of 5- and 6-series DSLRs and owners of the original R and R6 owners. For those people, the R5II would likely represent a compelling upgrade.
Neither the A1ii nor the R5ii are on the market so no-one knows how they compare or why someone would buy one over the other. However, the R5 and A1 weren’t really targeting the same market given by the price difference between the bodies. I don’t suspect either camera’s successors will change their respective strategies to compete directly, so one reason to pick the R5ii would likely end up being your previous investment in canon glass in addition to a body which may be 30% cheaper. Whether that’s meaningful to your needs or not is a different story. For me, the improvements of the a1 over the R5, combined with the need to cycle all my lenses, and pay a ~30% additional premium wouldn’t make any sense if the R5ii and A1ii follow their predecessors market segmentation. I need absolutely no speed increase, no auto focus improvements, no ibis improvements, no video improvements, but I care a lot about image quality, weather sealing, usability, and certainly the needed investment for those improvements. I definitely don’t need my R5ii to be an R1 price point. But again, everyone’s needs are different, so you mileage may vary!
Not silly, but I don't think it's likely until Canon's done it at least once. Electronic ND does not require the camera to grow.
Well, 'we' only need to buy the specialised cooling grip (if the rumour is true BTW) if 'we' actually need it. Not everyone will use the R5 II for extended video shooting - so why on earth would the base camera need the sort of cooling that this involves? Which, for most stills and occasional / hybrid video users, would otherwise represent a significant increase in weight and expense for something they won't use.
Precisely. If it is the case that Canon is combining the R5 and R5C into one product line with the R5II, I would like some bits of cooling to be optional if I am only going to use it as a stills camera. The alternative would be for Canon to release an R5II and an R5CII.
Then go get your Sony A1. If you want the best spec sheet. Some of us understand a camera is more than a spec sheet. The joke will be on you when you spend thousands to switch to Sony and get the exact same results (at best) with the Sony A1 as you would get with your Canon.
it takes alot of engineering to do GPS well inside of a metal body. the 1D series had GPS for one rendition, but I guess the pros didn't find it useful.
you do know I'm not Craig, yes?
