Thank you for this article. I'm personally very excited about the R6V, this is something I've been wanting since the R5C. My hope is they will add IBIS to the video-line "V" cameras, and leave it out of the "C" cameras. Generally - and I don't speak for everyone here - but generally cinema cameras are preferred not have IBIS, as there can be issues with vibration distortion, even with a floating sensor that has IBIS disabled. The types of video work I do involve tripod (interviews, no ibis needed) handheld (terrible without ibis) and gimbal (ibis optional). Canon has/had some corner wobble distortion in video with ibis on wide angle lenses - for this I am thankful that the R5c works great on a gimbal with no ibis, and thus no corner wobble. Handheld, however, is as jittery as an iphone 5 after 4 cups of espresso.
If Canon is aiming the R6V at small content creators, vloggers, and indie film folks - those users are absolutely going to be pissed off to not have IBIS, especially when all the previous R6 series cameras have it. For those folks that don't want IBIS, there's the C50. I would appreciate a dual line of cameras with and without ibis, like an R6V and an R6VI (with ibis) something like that, similar to the 5DS and 5DSR without the antialiasing filter. This would make a lot of people happy. Choices. Then we can complain about something else other than ibis.
