Canon Officially Announces the EOS R6 V

[Canon Rumors]

Canon has officially announced the EOS R6 V. A new camera in a new segment for Canon. Based off the EOS R6 Mark III, we’re getting a great camera in the EOS R6 V for video shooters that don’t want to or don’t need to spend their money on the Cinema EOS C50. We have […]

Okay, so we went from "it has a full mechanical shutter" to EFCS, and now "no physical shutter at all".
Typical Canon cripple hammer to upsell photographers to the R6III.

Well, I guess the missing mechanical shutter counts me out. I'd not thought about rolling shutter in photos.

Would rolling shutter be more apparent at lower shutter speeds?

Looks like (in video) there is no RAW ST Fullframe 60p (only LT) and only one RAW crop mode with a Ninja monitor at 60p? I just bought the C50 and the Super 16mm RAW HQ 150p is a BANGER lol and I can use either Fullframe or Super 35mm RAW ST 60p if the wildlife gets too close.

I don't need this camera, but honestly it seems like a great release for video shooters. Idk why anyone would consider this for photos. Odd to me we're still seeing those complaints.

I'm gonna call it now: In a few years, when the R6 MARK V is released, Canon might be having troubles with the naming of their video-centric cameras.

Yes, I know it's just a small issue, but imagine you are getting into photography in a few years, have no clue about cameras whatsoever and see constantly two different products with the same name (except the MARK, but not everyone uses it) made the same company. I guess thy will solve this in a certain way, but I for my part already hate it. It will be confusing as hell for some at least.

Th camera itself is fine, though I am not sure if there was really that much space between the R6 III and C50 for a even more hybrid camera.

there is no any mechanical shutter, so I think this would not sell as well as R6 III, and it could be a video camera, but it could not support flash, do canon really think that if some one buy this camera just 100% precent for video and 0% percent of photo ? let's see if this will sell well. I will predict that it would not be a good coopetitor of sony and canon will finally realize this

That's a late call.

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.

So I’ve not had a chance to see much launch stuff yet but I just watched Gordon Laing (Cameralabs) video on the R6V and he mentions that he’s been told by Canon it will gain the ability to use flash in a firmware update soon.

If it’s not a stacked sensor like the R3, and the readout speed of the sensor isn’t that fast. Surely that will be very limited?

Anyone seen this mentioned anywhere else?
