Canon EOS R7 Mark II Rumored Specifications Round-up

[Skyfall]

This is interesting, i have considered upgrading my r6 mki to the r5 ii to get some extra reach but these specs looks amazing indeed, it would be glued to my 100-500mm and i would keep the r6 for landscapes

By extra reach, do you mean ability to crop more?

Yeah, exactly

Which body is the picture of the camera based on? I don't know any R camera with that symbol on the port in the down right corner. The symbol almost looks like a SIM card needle.

I think that if you try to look 'as objectively as possible' at the competition, the 2 benchmark stacked-sensor crop cameras in the market are the OM-1 MkII and the Fuji X-H2S. The OM-1 has a post-tariff list price of $2399US (although is usually discounted now) and the X-H2S has a list price of $2899US. Given that, *if* the R7II is truly a fully stacked sensor, I don't see how it isn't going to be in that range - call it $2500 for convenience.

Sound reasoning. I've said that if it has the best of all the features it has been rumored to over these months, I'd be willing to pay ~$3000, and given the MSRP of the stacked 26mp X-HS2 and the 40mp X-H2 it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it cost that much. I also kinda hope it does cost that much, not because I want to pay that much, but that'd mean they're not nerfing it and we're getting all the premium goodness like a fully stacked sensor, good viewfinder, CFe slot, and beefy buffer. A proper high performance camera with a crop sensor, not a budget model that costs less by limiting features and giving it a crop sensor.

I would say none and all – AI slop, don't take it literally. Say you put a lens onto the pictured camera...you've just made it into a point-and-shoot because there's no lens release.

Yeah I thought something was missing.

Looking good so far but let's see if Canon improve the pre-capture to catch up with Sony.

I was out shooting yesterday with someone using the Sony A1ii + 300mm f/2.8 + 2xTC. He was complaining he couldn't get his gear to focus in time when I was having no problems with the R5ii + RF 200-800mm.

How is Sony’s precapture superior?

How dare you doubt it !

 

[AlanF]

How is Sony’s precapture superior?

I wondered what he meant. If it's relative to the newer generation of Canons like the R5ii etc, then it can hardly be superior as they are excellent. Maybe he was referring to the current R7, which is well behind. But, that's hardly relevant as Canon is now at the leading edge.

Haha! Good one! Always good to see a good joke on the forum!

It is entirely likely that Canon/retailers will continue to sell new R7 in parallel with R7ii for some time to come.
The R7 price will go to a new lower price point and given the Ritz's big feature (and price) difference then the R7 could be selling for a long time to come.
The R5 is still on sale and it has been >18 months now since R5ii release. I don't see a good reason for Canon to stop selling the R5 for a long time to come. B&H are still selling A7v and iv and iii new at ~USD500 difference between each

If R10 mkII came out alongside R7 mkII, then R7 is basically dead and it's what inventory strategies looks like.

The AI generated picture also has a Full Frame sensor

That's a good point, I'd be interested to see the price of the R7 once the R7 ii gets released. If they do keep the original R7 at a discount for a while then I wonder if they will also discount the R10 to keep a good difference between the prices?

Would it really have been that much so more difficult to use photoshop instead of AI? I think an hour at most...

When the R7 came Out I was going to move up from the 7DII. But seeing the back design and Canon not giving it a Grip I went with the R6 and R6II now that the R6 III is out. Im holding off. if the R7 II get a grip and improved features I will drumpo my R6II for R7II!
