Canon EOS R6 V Specs: Active Cooling and more…

[mb66energy]

I have seen that lens as an interesting dual use option for both, APS-C (standard zoom, fixed f-stop) and roughly ultrawide for FF.
→ R7 with 20-50 (32-80) + R6 with 100-400 , after lens swap
→ R7 with 100-400 (160-640) + R6 with 20-50
effectively 20 ... 640 mm with a small gap between 80 and 100mm effective focal length ...

But 1400 bucks seems - to me - a little bit to high - except optical image quality is stellar!

As a benchmark, the EF 24-70mm f/4L launched in 2012 at $1499. Given that, $1400 —in today's dollars and factoring in Canon's tariff-based price increases— seems consistent. A slightly shorter zoom ratio (2.5x vs. 2.9x), but providing an ultrawide focal length and the power zoom feature. So while $1400 is not cheap, it actually seems pretty reasonable to me.

As soon as it was reported that it was an L lens rather than an STM series lens, it should have been clear that it was going to be in that range - on par with the 14-35/4. On one level I share your feeling - I was hoping it was going to be a companion to the 16-28/28-70 STM lenses which might have allowed an 899/999 price point. OTOH, it's still in/around the cheapest L series zooms.

Interesting. First time I've heard about this mic. Only a matter of time before the other players, DJI, Røde +++, will release their own too

Am I understanding those new specs correctly.

No flash support at all?

Well I suppose it wouldn’t be a canon release without some crippling feature not being included.

How is this meant to be a hybrid camera without flash support?

Correct. No mechanical shutter, only electronic and not a stacked sensor so the readout speed is too slow for flash with e-shutter. Only the cameras with stacked sensors (R1, R3, R5II) can fire the flash in electronic shutter mode. The 'readout speed' of a mechanical shutter is in the 3-4 ms range.

The R3 has a 5.5 ms readout speed and that supports a 1/180 s X-sync. The R6III is a bit over 13 ms, if the R6 V has the same then the fastest X-sync would be 1/60 s - 1/80 s, and Canon decided that is too slow.

We do wonder if the EOS R6 Mark IV will be the last of the line, the V is going to cause some marketing issues down the road!

R6 Mark V, vs. R6 V Mark II.

Oh well, it won't be Canon's first round of naming confusion.

Funny!
The EF 24-70 was indeed quite expensive when Canon introduced it. But its price fell very quickly.
When I bought mine, brand-new from an official dealer, during a Canon cashback action, I only paid Euro680 (about $750).
Honestly, $1400 sounds also like a good price for an UWA L lens to me.

 

[Exploreshootshare]

The lens looks really intriguing and if 425gr turns out to be true, it will sells like hot buns once cash back/ rebates etc start bringing the price down.
I don´t expect Canon to release a 24-70mm F4 anymore because will probably want those users to migrate to the new lens.

 

[Klendothir]

This lens is looking more and more interesting... I use mainly the 28-70 f2.8 on the R8. And while I own the 10-20 f4, I tend to take the 14-35 f4 instead, since the 28-35 overlap makes me feel more "comfortable" (and I really *love* that lens) A 20-50 f4 would solve the "problem" of the 20-28 gap...

So Canon has opted to not put a mechanical shutter in the camera which means the R6III is the only true hybrid camera in this sensor family. I was eager to fly an R6V on the gimbal and also use it for stills using strobes, but that simply isn't possible. Bummer.

Canon never said that it was meant to be a hybrid camera.

AFAIK, this is all that Canon has 'said' about the R6 V:

 

[Kjsheldo]

I was really excited about this camera, but disappointed they didn’t go with the C50 button layout. The placement of the buttons on Canon mirrorless cameras seems so random and bizarre to me. Between these three cameras with the same sensor, it is truly baffling to decide which ones to go with. The C 50 would be a perfect camera for me if it had IBIS. The R63 is great but overheats and don’t love the photo first design. And this camera comes along and is somewhere in the middle. Strange.

Then another camera with ibis wobble?
