Since the R6II, R7 and R8 already have that as well, I think it's a given by this point. Canon would have to spend resources to remove that feature at this point

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II will continue with CFexpress Type B/SD UHS-II card slots
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I'd be shocked if it wasn't bullt-in from what I have been told. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the menu or official spec sheet for the camera.

What a missed opportunity, would have loved to see Dual CFE cards, I can\'t wait till the day I don\'t have to touch another SD card....

Great news! I use the CF for the RAW images and the SD for jpg images which I use as back-up. I don\'t reformat these SD cards, when they are filled up I put them in a safe as backup. SD is ultra cheap and for movies I can always use affordable V60s for many codecs.

That would be an absolute GAMECHANGER for me!!! WOW! Do you know if it'll also be possible to record continuous GPS tracks of your entire hike even when you don't use the camera? This way I could retire my Garmin GPS tracking device and replace it with the R5 II

I'd appreciate to hear your thoughts on this!
I know there is the Canon DM-E1D but its audio quality is horrible (bad signal-to-noise ratio, only up to 10kHz, ...) compared to other mics like the RØDE VideoMic Pro+ or even the hotshoe mic from Sony (ECM-B1M).So do you think there is a chance of new hotshoe shotgun mics from Canon with better audio quality now that this wireless mic will be released?
Why I am Returning The Canon DM-E1D
Spoiler Alert: It sounds badI released my review yesterday for the Canon DM-E1D and I didn't recommend it for most. 24 hours later, I'm going to rant about w...

I am surprised that build in GPS is such a desired feature.
I have had a few cameras with a GPS sensor but in the end I gave up using it and went back to a seperate tracker. Not even primarily because of the battery drain but rather due to poor implementation like not tagging images without reception (instead of repeating the last position) or taking forever to get a fix after beeing turned off (and therefore having untagged images).
The main reason for me to even consider using the build in GPS would be the inclusion of a compass (Like in canons hotshoe dongle) since that would provide a real add-on compared to a seperate tracker.

Just take a look at this reply. It looks like we will actually finally get built-in GPS in the R5 II. I only wonder if it'll also be possible to create a continuous GPS track for hikes and stuff like that even when you turn your camera off (only the GPS sensor is powered on) so that I could retire my Garmin GPS tracking device!

Interesting thoughts. I never used a camera with built-in GPS and simply assumed it'd work is flawlessly as it does with a separate tracker. I would assume that the problems you encountered could be addressed by changing settings such as the time interval for the GPS receiver inside the camera. If it's set to something like 1 second and not something like every minute I would hope to have the correct position embedded into the metadata of the photo I just took. A compass is a nice bonus but I mainly just want to have the EXACT location data embedded into each file.
If it isn't possible to create continuous tracks of my entire hike I'd have to use a separate tracker anyway because I like to be able to map out my hikes on maps!!!!

I would appreciate dual-the-same-slots as well. I don't want to mix card types.
But looking at the prices of good and fast (!) CFexpress cards, I am really happy with my dual SD R6m2.
I see no speet limitation here. Video people surely might see one.
So, even though it feels "Meh!" I can understand that mix for vid as well as price sensitive SD people.
They only "seem to", don't they?
Yet another trolling comment, don't you think so?

The electric compass functionality of the GP-E2 is not supported in R system bodies
I strongly suspect it’s because almost no one bothers to calibrate it after changing location, it’s very sensitive to large amounts of ferrous metal, like cars, trains, dumpsters and other things like electrified fencing.
I did enjoy being able to see the direction when plotting the track and pictures in Google Earth!

The GPS in the 5D Mk IV worked fine once it had acquired GPS position and used with a fairly short ‘refresh’ interval. I did not switch off my camera between shots. The differences between the camera GPS position and the position of my Garmin GPS were small.
