Canon Officially Announces the EOS R6 V

“ Remember when people went nuts with intervalometer (timelapse) use, and blew out their shutters?”

Yes! I was stunned to see I had 180k shutter count when my 80D was in for repair (not for the shutter), had it replaced, and learned to use silent shutter for time lapse. Personally I’m hoping for a bare bones finderless, happy to be shutterless, no active cooling R8.5 or R7.5 (APSC) to replace the old M6ii. I’m fine with waiting a few more years. The M62 is still going great, gives me photos I like better than the ones I take with the larger but lighter R8/50_1.8 combo, though the R8/28-70_2.8 is great for walking around as well. So good I’m not sure if the m62 replacement should be full frame or crop. Writing is on the wall though, the EF-M 11-22 lens just died. Sorry for sharing, carry on, I hope the video is great for people

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.

Also known as product differentiation, which every company does. That's why there is a V in the model name.

...years ago I purchased a second M62...and a year or so ago I purchased a spare EF-M 11-22.

I use them all the time.

I still don't understand why Canon...oh never mind.

May I ask...how did your 11-22 fail?
