Canon Officially Announces the EOS R6 V
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
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.

Now show me an inexpensive mono light trigger 
I should have specified. 
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.

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.

Well, it's your lucky day! Your wish for a proper successor to the R6II is granted!
(In fact, it was granted last year.)

Godox claims to work with the R50.You are getting more human everyday, AI Agent Neuro.
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.

Love the R5C. When you think of a hybrid camera, do you consider hybrid as being one body that does good video and photos seamlessly in one operating system? R5C feels like two completely different cameras sharing one body hardware, with that short reboot cycle between operating systems. So, I’m not sure how hybrid is defined in that case comparing the R5II and the R5C. Both are technically hybrid (R5 line, R6 line).
