And such a slow kit lens? And, referring to the B&H price list, as expensive as the R7?:unsure:
Yet, I still expect some good surprises to justify these "negatives" , form factor, video features etc...
RP weight: 485g
Lp-e6 would certainly be a welcome addition but I hope there are noticable improvements to battery life.
Maybe an add on one like M6 ?
These so-called specs are just a summary of rumors.
While I can easily imagine this camera without IBIS, EVF, weather sealing and LP-E6 battery, I highly doubt they’d put the same sensor as the R6 Mark II in it, while allowing it to achieve the same 40fps, having C-log3, and having the same autofocus.
I’d expect a lower tier sensor.
So, I wouldn't expect underwhelming features.
- viewfinder doesn\'t matter nearly as much - RP viewfinder wasn\'t a selling point to me either way
- 40 frames a second - does it need a mechanical shutter if streamlined for video?
- no IBIS? many vlogging cams don\'t have ibis
- LPE17 isn\'t a deal breaker... could be an LP E17N or something and Canon could also improve battery draw
This will be a big clue to the R5 II lcd =)
in General: specs do sound a little bit made up.
Bus as some said, some sound too good to be true.
Thanks for that comparison.
This makes me hope for a really small travel body.
In that case I'd swallow the no-IBIS, what could have been expected.
