Some people seem to be under the impression that the adapters have optics in them (which of course would be a downside, albeit minor if the glass is very well made). Maybe you were already aware these adapters are simply empty tubes (basically extension tubes), in which case disregard; but if you weren't...does it make a difference?
Not that bad when you consider a decent medium format camera can cost that on its own .
Exactly, I'm ready to get this camera, and use it until I forget to even read the DPR review or watch the stupid youtube reviews or heard what Tony Northrup has to say let alone Rishi Sanyal and his technical muzak.Canon is fast moving from building anticipation to annoyance and disdain!
Holy S%$@, is that a camera store or your house? Do you ever actually get out and shoot, or do you just take pictures of your lens collection?So as soon as they release an RF 11-24, RF TS-E 17, RF 15mm f2.8 fisheye, RF 100 macro, RF TS-E 50, RF 1.4 and RF 2x TC's, some RF extension tubes and an RF 300mm f2.8 I'll be able to join you?

The one for the 1Dx Mark III does not include Ethernet, since it is built in to the camera. It may offer extended range since it is extenal antenna, but, unlike the 1DX, the R5 should have the faster wifi (5gHz) built in, so it should already be fast.
As Pixel said, I think this is more for the extended professional functions such as FTP, better remote control, etc.

I find the Wireless File Transmitter a baffling accessory; even my vintage 70D has WiFi support -- either the R5 won't have 802.11 on-board or this carbuncle is redundant. What am I missing?
sure, but tell me just this one thing... are we there yet?
Oh boy, a new R5 thread!
Oh wait, it's just a WFT!
I think they meant WTF!
With the
With the current trend, stills side of things goes without saying. The present generation of cameras are no longer about stills.
I'm twitching waiting for this announcement. I've been debating back and forth, but the obvious thing to hit ebay for me would be the 5DSR. I just can't see myself selling the EOS R, at least not yet. That 30MP sensor is just too perfect for routine or volume photography uses. I think between the 5DSR and 6D I should wind up with about half the price of the EOS R5. Part of me still wants to hang back a year and see what the 1RX brings to the table. And I just last week got the RF 24-70 L 2.8 IS ... Damn what a FINE lens that is

Don't forget you still need lenses. No point in using EF glass after buying a body like this.
EF works fine on the R why are RF lenses a necessity? Because of the resolution?
I have a 6:00 A.M. shoot tomorrow, it will probably be the TS-E 50 or the TS-E 17 with a 2x TC and three 600EX-RT's, the boxes for those are behind the 300mm box, yes there is a second row...
But most of it is pretty old and doesn't owe me anything by now, I must be honest the thought of 'starting again' with the R system really doesn't appeal especially given the drop in secondhand EF prices, the premiums the RF glass attracts and the fact that there is still comparatively little native choice of RF glass in my particular use case. I'll probably get the R5SR or whatever the high resolution body is but only to use with an EF adapter.
I don't thinks that is possible with all the waiting game going on....You don't need kidneys, just don't drink!

I just really wish I knew what the best options were for inexpensive wildlife/ birding rig to upgrade to from a 7d Mark ii/ 100-400 Mark ii....
"TALK" of EOS R series APS-C in 2021, "Talk" of high end M series APS-C, but nothing close to any real idea where Canon is going with it. It doesn't leave many good options, so I am thinking the R5 and use in crop mode for birding/sports where I need the reach (still get close to 20 MP) and have the advantage of full frame the rest of the time. But this is a lot more expensive than an $1800 7D2!
Or are they just pictures of empty boxes????Holy S%$@, is that a camera store or your house? Do you ever actually get out and shoot, or do you just take pictures of your lens collection?

Why are people obsessed with boxes? I asked the guys at Roberts when I was trading in gear and they don't even want them. They take up too much room on their shelves. So I toss them.Or are they just pictures of empty boxes????
Actually, I love the 7D2 for birds. I am thinking of picking up a second used one just as spare/ back-up because I think it is a great camera.What's wrong with the 7D2? How many more birds would you have filmed if you had the R5?
My 5DIV at 2500 ISO doesn't look very good either, unless I went high to ETTR then pushed back down the exposure in post. Personally I would back down the shutter speed before raising the ISO in your situation. I tend to drop down to 1/400 or even 1/320 to get more light when needed; I'd rather a little motion blur over higher ISO. If you are using a long lens and no monopod getting a monopod might make you look at your camera with new eyes...the blur could be coming from camera shake at the lower shutter speeds...not motion blur.Actually, I love the 7D2 for birds.

However, I have started doing photos for a high school swim team. Indoors, poor light, fast action.... I shoot at f/2.8, 1/700 and about 2500 ISO. That ISO really pushes the limits of the 7D2 and there can be a lot of noise. Sometimes fixed easy enough in PP for what I need, but other times you just cant make the image look the way you want. So, I have been looking for a way to improve that.
Any suggestions?
