Absolutely true - Canon has not indicated one way or another about the future of the D series. Therefore we are left to speculate. Perfect for a rumours site!It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
Well, the R5 or the 5DIV would be meaningful upgrades, but I‘m guessing is that they are more meaningful than you want to pay for. Rumors say that the R6 will have IBIS, so there is that. You might want to see how the R6 sensor actually performs before you write that option off. Anyway , the 6D is not a bad camera.As upgrade options we have had the following:
6D MKII - Good resolution bump but a dynamic range and video downgrade/no progress. Also no IBIS.
EOS RP - Mirrorless version of the 6D MKII so all the same issues.
EOS R - Good resolution upgrade, fair dynamic range upgrade but frustratingly sub-par video features. Also no IBIS.
I want a meaningful upgrade to my 6D and Canon so far are not interested in offering it.
First, we know the R6 is going to be less expensive than the R5, so I don't know why you'd phrase your question that way.If R6 and R5 were same price I'm guessing almost everyone would take the R5, 20MP does not cut it these days especially when you need to crop in a fair bit
I too would prefer a 32mp camera especially for landscapes and cropping.
Sometimes when composing a landscape image in the viewfinder then taking image back to computer I find that what looked good in viewfinder had too much sky or foreground etc on the big screen. So cropping latitude is very important for me when making large prints.

The R5 so far sounds amazing but it's in a different category. It's a £3500-£4000 camera whereas the 6D was a £1500 camera. The 5DIV had all the same drawbacks as the EOS R but with a much higher price. It's a great camera for sure but I was expecting a lot more given the price and competition at the time of its release.Well, the R5 or the 5DIV would be meaningful upgrades, but I‘m guessing is that they are more meaningful than you want to pay for.

At which point I'd say learn to take pictures, composition is just about all the camera manufacturers leave to us now and you want a safety net for that too?I too would prefer a 32mp camera especially for landscapes and cropping.

If you're doing your shots from a tripod, then IBIS is not a consideration. (and I'm not commenting on the R by itself, by the way)If you're doing landscape from a tripod IBIS is not a consideration, so what is wrong with the EOS R?
Doesn’t cut it for whom exactly? Professionals providing tens of thousands of images daily using 1 series cameras seem to manage with 20 mp even on the newest iteration.
The various 150-600's have been shown to be excellent performers most of the time and can be bought new for a fraction the price.I mean, maybe I wouldn't need to crop so much in post if I could afford a 200-400 F4L IS Extender 1.4x...
If you're doing your shots from a tripod, then IBIS is not a consideration. (and I'm not commenting on the R by itself, by the way)
But once you have a camera with good IBIS (and dual IS) and start handholding shots that look like you used a tripod, you'll (IMHO) never want to settle for a camera without IBIS.
Like AEWest, I often decide to crop pictures in post. That in no way means that I need to "learn to take pictures" or "want a safety net for that too". I also grade my pictures, and the good ones are all converted from raw through careful post processing to a nice image - Does that mean I should have taken a better shot in the first place so I didn't need to do that?At which point I'd say learn to take pictures, composition is just about all the camera manufacturers leave to us now and you want a safety net for that too?
If the subject is not moving, dual OIS & IBIS of (tested & verified) 6.5 stops can and will stop motion to look just like a tripod for all "reasonable intents and purposes". That reduces shake by a factor of 90 to 1! My EM1mk2 with 12-100 f4 and 300mm f4 pro lenses do exactly that. I also have a tripod, and use it when I do panoramas to get perfect repeatable position registration between pictures. But I also can take the same panoramas handheld with 6.5 stop dual IS and they still are as sharp and stitch together fine. If you have never seen real (tested & verified) 6.5 stop dual IS then you should. And a few makers have even gone beyond that now.There's no substitute for a perfectly stationary camera. Not IS, not IBIS, not both combined. They buy a few stops, but they do not give the same total lack of movement that a solid platform does.
Agreed. Probably not worth engineering IBIS into a camera with mirror at this point.The one thing I'd guess about a 5Dv is that it wouldn't have IBIS. That's the only thing I'm 90% sure of, and it would be to let IBIS be a draw for their mirrorless line, only.
