I'm very curious to learn if the HDMI port blocks the LCD screen when unfolded. That's a unique small touch from the C50, C80, Sony FX3 etc that makes a real difference in real life situations when working with external wireless video TX's or monitors. Fingers crossed.

It's a PITA on Canon mirrorless cameras as the non blocking of the usb-c port was prioritized over the HDMI port

You don't need the Latin name as You can change the language of an article. Just click on "talen" in the right top:

The R6III has regular pins in the hotshoe and thus is compatible with older-style EX flashes, thus it seems likely that the R6 V would have them. OTOH, the R50 lacks those pins and thus is only compatible with multifunction shoe EL flashes, so it makes sense that carried over into the R50 V.

So I wouldn't be able to use my godox trigger on it for example? Wasn't aware of the R50/V not having a normal hotshot?

You'd hope that aiming this at hybrid professionals they'd keep a standard hotshoe? Or will this be a classic Canon "Let's make it ALMOST perfect and then just ruin it with this one thing we changed for no reason" scenario?

I doubt it will have x-sync pins, if that's what you're asking - similar to the R50V.

The R50V features the same shutter functionalities as the regular R50, so this camera seems to follow the same concept, featuring all the same shutter functionalities as the regular R6 III.

Looks like it's essentially the same camera as the R6 III, assembled in a different housing, with video-oriented controls, active cooling, EVF removal and a lower price tag. Videographers will love this.

Unless "Mechanical / 1st Curtain" is just a category in a general spec-table template, because data for Mechanical & 1st Curtain usually are the same?

Not for Canon.
They never refer to EFCS as mechanical in menus.
Mechanical refers to fully mechanical.

Nicely done, antonn. I especially like the second one.

Good exposure control. It’s not always easy with birds that have white plumage. Nice shots, shire guy.

I really like the last one. I love the colours in her eyes.

How many Nikon, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Leica users having repeatedly posted crappy comments on CanonRumors can you quote?
Sony users lead by a huge margin. No idea why.
And I do not mean justified and deserved criticism, but invented statistics, technical untruths etc...

If you meant only here on CR, maybe (although I have no idea which cameras everyone owns), but in general, I would disagree.
I spent years on DPR before they self-imploded and there was a rich selection of trolls of all provenances, even in rarefied places such as the medium format forum. And based on short lurkings on other forums, the situation seem to be the same across the board

Ok, it's instant buy for me.... I'm willing to trade my R8 for R6V

oten68 · May 11, 2026

Woah! Mechanical shutter? Niceeeeeeee

Skux · May 11, 2026

Mechanical and EFCS shutter? Hell yeah this could be a killer compact FF camera for photography as well.

Update: RIP

Just hoping that the retro-styling isn't the only thing thats different from todays-version

R1/R52/R52 + RF600/4

I have had problems with my R5ii in slowly waking up when it's powered down (not turned off, just in eco settings). The EVF lights up immediately but there is no information on the screen and it is insensitive to clicking buttons, and it takes several seconds to be fully operational. No-one was able to help when I posted a question some time ago. The problem has now been solved (thanks to an AI search). There is a quirk of the R5ii to check the info on both cards when waking up. I had a high capacity CF Express in slot 1 and an 1800x Lexar V60 as an emergency overflow in 2, which is never used. The V60 is the problem - changing over to a Lexar 2000x V90 solved it. It's better to have only one card in the CF slot and nothing in slot 2 than having a slower one there. Despite the 1800x being 90% of 2000x, the V60 is not up to it. I never had this problem with the R5 with V60 cards.

Much appreciated. I used to post on nedpix.nl, where the forthright Dutch mods taught me a huge amount for which I am most grateful. But, I annoyed them by only knowing English!

But the Latin name is always the same everywhere.

When Canon releases a firmware update and then pulls it, that's not a good sign. I will wait a while before upgrading.

It was not pulled. It was published due to a person prematurely pressing on publish in their cms. As we'll see lots of firmware updates for other cameras it's save to assume it was just human error.

Girls are Beautiful's blog sure is creepy as hell.

The website https://avionary.info/ translates bird names from Latin to English and between most languages. Not many know or use the Latin name and it might as well be written in Mandarin or Cyrillic for most and so we individually have to look it up. If you translate it then it saves everyone else having to do so.
By the way, I use eBird, the best bird resource on the planet.
