Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6 and new lens SKU and kit information

[Mechanical_EYE]

I'm set with RF glass so I'm in line for an R5 and an R6 body only, and possibly the RF extender.

I've seen R5 photos, but how does the R6 look? I hope it looks almost exactly like R5.

The CR guy has reported that he has seen the R6 and that it looks a lot rounder than the R5 a d has additional control wheels. You can search for the post, it was titled something like "I have seen the R6 IBIS in action".

Of course, I didn't mean to change your workflow, that would be crazy.
Just to play with the new raw files while waiting for Adobe support. Don't tell me you'll get your new toy and keep it in a closet or just shooting jpeg's until Adobe supports it!

Fortunately I don't have any of these concerns, my first R body will be for video and H.264 and H.265 is pretty universal. I can't wait to get the R6 on a gimbal and watch that AF do its job. No more trying to get clients to walk the same speed or stay the same distance away or "hope" I got a few seconds of useable footage.

I know AF isn't everything and I still love MF (there's nothing like knowing AF isn't going to suddenly ruin your take), but on a gimbal without a focus puller or AF it really is a guessing game.

Does anyone know if the rumoured specs of the R6 recording capabilities are confirmed without crop? and what about the bitrate? 10 bit 4:2:2 possible?

Sweetheart, do you really need education as bitterly as Daddy needs a new camera ?

I am wondering why the R6 isn’t bundled with a 24-105f4 L option? Even the RP is available with the 24-105L.

agreed, i''d really love to have it with the 24-105 L lens...

 

[Th0msky]

I am hoping the R5 comes with the EF adapter as I have a good selection of L glass and not ready to upgrade that yet.

I heard that they gave the basic adapter with the Eos R back then? is that true?

 

[slclick]

I found an 'R6 kit' on Aliexpress. Unfortunately the specs are totally off and don't match rumours. Also It's Yamaha R6 Kit, not Canon. But does the brand matter? The price is so tempting.

Oh I was hoping it was a drumset....I forgot they make everything under the sun.

I would want the same amount of control wheels... lol, not more. If more, what are they taking away, top LCD?

They do include the adapter in NZ & Aus (& probably other regions.)
Not in the US though. It is/was a separate purchase.

Indeed, no top display:

"There is also no top-down LCD on the EOS R6, but there are multiple scroll wheels and I’m not sure what that’s about. The camera also has a much more rounded shape than the current EOS R cameras."

So, sounds almost exactly like RP w/ IBIS (and fps). I'll just wait until I can afford (or need) the R5 ... lol ... or sell one of my organ...lol

My preorder shopping list:

1. R5 Kit (R5 + 24-105 f4 L IS)
2. RF 100-500 f4.5-7.1
3. RF 1.4x extender if it works with the RF 100-500.
4. EF - R adaptor
5. R5 grip if available
6. 2 / 128GB Sandisk CFexpress Cards

It's going to be an expensive year!

For me I've already settled on:

1. R5
2. RF 35mm 1.8
3. RF 85mm f/2
4. EF-R control wheel adapter
5. 128GB CF Express, 128GB UHS-II SD, ProGrade CF Express + UHS II SD dual reader
6. 2 extra batteries
7. Rumored new 600EX-RT II replacement depending on what it entails, especially if it's a flash system made specially for the EOS R series
8. RRS L-bracket for R5(this can't come soon enough)

And then after that, my immediate interest is in either the 28-70 F/2 or the RF 70-200 2.8. Just depends on how I actually find myself using the R5. If it turns into more of a vacation camera for me over my 1DX2, the RF 70-200 would be super easy to bring everywhere, but if the R5 turns into my new main paid-assignment workhorse over the 1DX2, I'll probably get the 28-70 F/2.

We've been waiting on Adobe support for the RP for 1.5 years, unfortunately.

EDIT: Adobe support for camera-matching RAW profiles.

Don't remember about the EOSR, but my RP, bought in early March 2019 for $1299, included for free a standard RF adapter, plus the small non-battery Extension Grip.

Here in Canada my EOS-R came with the free basic adapter.

Funny, the Canon RF 800mm f/11 DO IS STM specs remind me a bit of those old 800mm f/8 mirror lenses that are still available from different makers such as Samyang. But the optical quality of the new RF lenses should be a bit better
