M6II scaled up is barely 82MP
This year's Bugatti only does 235 MPH. But I endure this hardship nonetheless.

M6II scaled up is barely 82MP
Ugh starting to think I need to reset some expectations here so that I don't get disappointed. Like you, when I first read these specs I though "total bullcrap—no way"
Going from manual to auto focus was changing decades of behavior.I doubt we see a high MP camera this year and the R5 specs are wrong. Unless of course you believe Canon is just going to change decades long behavior and throw all kinds of high end specs into their cameras. Yea, not happening.
About right for the hi-res full frame - with DPAF (164 sub pixels). They can do it all right - esp with their new smaller sensor fab pitch. Stacked / BSI patents they have shown up also. Those 250MP FF & 120MP APS-H sensors have been around since the birth of DPAF on the 60D. It does look like there will be a bunch of new sensors - esp given the amazing read speeds from the new 1Dx III.M6II scaled up is barely 82MP
So now maybe those who need the high MP can stop complaining on the R5! Good that Canon looks to everyone and tries to make cameras that benefit everyone.I'm still curious how the naming will work. I thought the R5 / R6 products' names being confirmed meant that:
1DX --> R1
5DS --> R2, R3, R4 or R5S
5D --> R5
R --> (RIP)6D --> R6
RP --> (RIP)7D --> R7 (might never happen, but at least it has a name collared for future assignment)
But CR Guy has implied that R6 isn't corresponding to the 6D slot -- it is likely more of an A7S sort of competitor. So I'm as interested as anyone on the hierarchy/nomenclature/pricing/positioning for all these new FF bodies.

I remember seeing somewhere that the 5DIV (and maybe the 5DS ) mirror assembly traded off cycling speed to get better vibration dampening and less noise.I do rant about FPS, but more from a positioning standpoint. I have long thought the 5D throughput versus other bodies in unexplainable other than via nerf hammer reasons)
Everything is balance. I trust Canon to find it.I remember seeing somewhere that the 5DIV (and maybe the 5DS ) mirror assembly traded off cycling speed to get better vibration dampening and less noise.
Current meaning not that old as that camera. i have the camera. the shake is more noticable when you zoom in than my other cameras I own. only when you zoom alll the waaayyy innn.5Ds does not have IBIS
I'm sure IBIS will be a usefull to have feature, but not having it is not exactly the end of the world.
I believe R6 is a new kind of Camera to Canon, directed to video and with great High sensitivity. Like A7S or something. Or....It could be a less MP and more cheap version of the EOS R but....where it fits between the R and RP? I think we all agree that this new R6 camera is making us scratch our heads!

For me I don´t personally believe Canon will do a APS-C mirrorless camera. Why? It just doesn´t make sense! The EOS R5 i am sure it will have something like the A7r3 and you can toggle between FF and APS-C. So Why make a camera with an APS-C sensor only?
Because... why not?
- EOS Rn - expensive models
- EOS RPn - budget FF models
Going from manual to auto focus was changing decades of behavior.
Going from film to digital was changing decades of behavior.
Adding video to DSLR's was changing decades of behavior.
Adding a mirrorless camera line in FF was changing decades of behavior.
DPAF was changing decades of behavior.
Changing from EF to RF mount was changing decades of behavior.
Canon is never the leader. Canon always follows. Canon doesn't innovate. Canon never adjusts to the market. Canon is doomed.
If you think a $15k video camera would ever have the same feature set and market as a $3,500 camera then you already bought the bridge from somebody.so you are saying Canon has not intentionally crippled their cameras for decades in order to protect other lines? You must be new to Canon. If you think that behavior is all the sudden going to stop and they are going to pack all the features from their $7k camera and $15k video line and put it into a $3500 camera , I have a bridge to sell you lol.
The cynical answer: staying with the familiar structure will result in more sales simply because of that familiarity whether or not they are shifting the target markets.... why immediately snap to the presumed R1 / R5 / R6 familiar structure? Why go with familiar names that parallel existing FF lines if you plan to subdivide / redefine them in the new system?

"Intentionally crippled" I get it now. Every camera at every price point should all have the same feature set, otherwise they are "intentionally crippled". I guess Canon is the only manufacturer to do this. Now you've bought two bridges. Care to buy more?
