Your preferences are legitimate of course but you might be surprised how little you miss it - I was. You have to look at either the screen or EVF to compose a shot anyhow.

We keep hearing about the Canon EOS R6 Mark III coming in 2024
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Is this Nikon rumors or what about all the raving about the Z6III? That camera has less dynamic range than the original EOS R from 2018 and it's autofocus is almost on the same level. Talking about DR:
4K is also not a lot different from HD movies, 45 megapixels is not a lot different from 24MP. Most people wouldn't notice the difference when printed or displayed on social media. Yet it is a difference. Maybe if you don't edit your pictures, but from my personal experience I can say, YES you notice a stop less DR if you lift shadows. The subpar DR is probably Nikon/Sonys way of cheating their sensors to a faster readout.

Will this be where we will be able to record 120p with sound?
As Sony and Lumix have been doing for years

When Nikon announced the Z6 III they said on Petapixel: “Nikon says the “mid-range” market — think Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Sony a7 IV, and the Fujifilm X-T5 — is booming and comprises nearly 60% of all revenue in the interchangeable lens camera space and an even greater percentage of cameras on a per-unit basis.”
If 60% of revenue is a correct number, this means it is important for manufacturers to be competitive in this part of the market and be the reason that why the release cycle of the R6 models is two years. It might also be a reason to put a version of the R3’s stacked 24MP sensor in the successor of the R6 Mk II.

Curious that Canon is getting left behind in megapixels, with only one camera (R5) above "24", after being the main protagonist in the early days.

Yeah, they do. New its $4k. The last refurb sale was I think $3500. Paletable if I sell my R6 to offset. But I figure the sales will return or remain after the R1 and R5II are announced.Is Canon having the cashback promotions in your area right now? If so, have a look if that brings the price in line with your GAS threshold
Case in point that this is a personal thing. I got an R6 a year after launch, and then an R5 just a few months ago. I actually would prefer the R5 had the top dial and no screen like the R6. Faster to change modes. All necessary data on the mini LCD is in the evf or on the back screen anyway.
People using the cameras generally don't care as much about MP as people talking about cameras on the internet. Agencies especially are using the photos for online posting, and they are significantly downsampled/downsized anyway. MP is a niche market, perhaps amplified here on the forums. Heck, even most of us here just post to IG or FB, and watch our 60mp mosaics reduced to 8mp anyway.

7-series cameras have a very long historical life cycle. The R7's predecessor came out in 2014. I'm afraid we may have a long time to wait for the R7mk.ii
6-series have a traditional 2-year product cycle now.

It's almost as if Canon's new in-house manufacturing equipment is restricted to 24MP. Only one full-frame full res outlier in the entire lineup. Everything else 24MP -- at least one for every conceivable niche in the full frame market. But if you can only dominate a single part of the market, it seems that 24MP is a pretty good place to be.

Please explain how 5 years, then 3 years, then 2 years (2012-2017-2020-2022) equates to a ‘traditional 2-year product cycle’.

Glad to hear it: sometimes site-specific terminology can be just a barrier to understanding for people whose lives don't revolve around a given forum, especially for those losing whatever mental edge we had in our youth :-D . I log in here most weeks since before the R and I still could never remember what meant what!

I've tested the R6 when it came, and couldn't get used to it, due to it lacking the top LCD.
When hiking, camera setting is always on "M", I often check aperture , ISO and shutter speed via the top LCD. (And often readjust the settings depending on ambient light).
Yes, I know, I could use Av or Tv, or auto ISO. But don't want to!
It's a feature I'd really miss, and I will never buy a camera without it!

Wait, are they releasing them with a gap of decreasing prime numbers of years? What comes after 2??

I only ever use M. I also "hike" with it. But I switch it off most of the time because I want to save battery life, so a top LCD would be blank anywayI've tested the R6 when it came, and couldn't get used to it, due to it lacking the top LCD.
