Canon Officially Announces the EOS R6 V

Probably not.
As @EOS 4 Life correctly pointed out, Canon makes the ST-E10 – a wireless trigger for their flashes (and I have one!). So I asked a question to which I should have known the answer. Having said that, if the R6 V doesn't support Canon MFS flashes, I don't see how it would support the Canon MFS flash trigger.

You are getting more human everyday, AI Agent Neuro. ❤️ I should have specified, for my use, 3rd party mono light trigger, which is still probably no at this stage.

So fed-up with this kind of peremptory “I know everything” comments.

For a videographer, a mechanical shutter is a very positive point and a practical way to avoid dust on the sensor when switching lenses.
Of all the highly decorated smartasses on this forum, I am flattered you selected me to be their ambassador. Truly an honor, thank you.

I agree the lack of a mechanical shutter is a real bummer on the R6v. I do not agree with it being an intentional nerf (or “cripple hammer” as some like to call it) but I see the R6v as being a cheaper toned down C50 cinema camera. Getting close to a C50 for $$1400 cheaper is not such a bad deal - but what makes zero sense is that the R6v doesn’t have a cinema operating system. It’s a photo OS camera with no mechanical shutter - that makes no sense to me either. And where is our detachable viewfinder?

I really just wish we would get a proper EOS M6II successor with full frame / ibis & RF mount.

Godox claims to work with the R50.
Since they also have a wireless microphone, I believe it.
However, that does not mean it will work with the R6 V.
Thanks for the info.

The R50 has a mechanical second shutter curtain and supports flash sync at up to 1/250 s. I think the real issue is that the R6 V has no mechanical shutter curtain, so it (currently) doesn’t support flash, at all.

I think IBIS and Cinema OS would be a bad mix.
I think the R6 V is almost perfect for the market it is targeted at.
People seem to always want more, no matter what Canon releases.
I agree and I appreciate that they are keeping the Cinema (C) line without ibis - and I do think the R6V is a fantastic deal. There is no way to make everyone happy. It is a but weird to remove the shutter from a non-cinema camera. We have the R6III for a true photo and video hybrid - I just love the smaller format body.
