A budget EOS R body is coming in the first half of 2021 [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
Well, the back fixed LCD is the same, but no EVF or bulge, and with as thin & flat a body as possible.
However, I'd also be interested in buying the camera you indicated with an EVF and full-back-touch-LCD R camera.

Yes, I ordered the R6 to be able to shoot at higher speeds for getting images of fast moving subjects in relatively difficult lighting situations, I also have to shoot many 5-10 minute clips of video. Nothing super long, like interviews though. I use an eos R and my 6d mark ii for those along with Osmo action cams that can shoot for hours.
I ordered this camera under the assumption that it would shoot similar video to the R, and a faster burst mode for the photos that I need to shoot. As a hybrid, that would fit right in with my work flow. Sadly, there is an issue that causes it to over heat, and would require me to bring MORE cameras with me when I am off on location, and that is not a great addition when I have to do things like travel to the Netherlands to go film.
I was kind of counting on being able to remove the 6D from my work flow along with some newer tech in a body. (It would also allow me to sell off EF lenses and move forward on more RF glass)
The Firmware for the R5 is out, and there should be firmware for the R6. Seeing the 7siii is out soon, it might be time to look into switching (which I do not want to do)

So you have a professional application. Why would you complain that a camera that is clearly for purely consumer pursuits doesn't suit your needs?

And that is a large part of the reason why I don't see them stopping production on entry level APS-C. Remember all of this is just RUMORS, the only one that got an explicit rating was a CR-1.

I remember many years ago being at the zoo with my DSLR (Rebel T3, at the time) and being unable to tell whether I was recording video or not, because the red dot was on the screen and I couldn't see anything on the screen. In hindsight (I was very green then) I must have had the thing set to be in liveview mode at all times or i"d have heard the mirror come down and be able to use the viewfinder when not videoing.

If the EOS R/RP can read from the sensor fast enough to update the back display/EVF then that data is certainly useable by the DIGIC for autofocus. Knowing people who work with this sort of AI, I can assure you that the speed and resolution of the data that's already being pushed through to update the display is more than ample for excellent eye tracking - it's almost certainly downsampled further from the EVF resolution for the AI anyway. The key factor is the performance of the CPU and of course how well the code is written. This is why the relatively old 6D II sensor is still fine for this.

Indeed. Expect some APS-C RF mount camera's in the future. No or cheap EVF and cheaper RF crop lenses.
They will need those RF crop lenses anyway for their cinema RF mount camera's that have a crop sensor.

Oh please. It has nothing to do with your native tongue. (I actually had no idea English was not native for you, or did you copy & paste your apply above frame somewhere else? lol).
It has to do with every post by you using the "Cripple" word in order just to bash Canon, for absolutely NO REASON. If a brand has one model lowered in price, how can anyone with a sane mind think they should rightly have all the same features and specs as the more expensive one?
Just your last 3 posts (these are complete posts, so not much else to really say:
"Let's see.... Can we cripple it more? Oh, yes: there are so many ports and megapixels and let's put a tiny battery... Is overheating a feature?!" (we're talking about a BUDGET camera here, duh)
"5d mark iii had 25/30 fps în FHD, 7D mark II had 50/60 in 1080p and DPAF. Maybe a R7 would have better video options than R5... and will be less crippled... In my dreams."
"They should kill all the crippled cameras." (noting else to write in this post?)
another a few days ago:
"Let's see the price and the cripple hammer."
Stop being a Ken.

An interesting dilemma. I'm pretty sure that the firmware released for the R5 will come to the R6 as well & if so, the R5 is now able to do 96 30 second clips of 4k HQ before it overheated which is pretty impressive and although not quite the same as you I would be surprised if limits for 5-10 minute clips were not increased after the b=new firmware. There's also the view that most people cant tell the difference between 4k HQ and 4k 30P footage when they are shown them side by side. I'm sure some people with 4k / 8k TV's may be able to tell the difference if they really look hard but I couldn't see a noticeable difference when I looked on my 4k TV. The good news is that 4k has no overheating limits as far as I'm aware.
The only thing I'm not sure about is how many stills shots can be taken before it impacts the higher resolution video side. From some reviews I have read on the R5, the number of stills shots is pretty big before it causes issues.
Tough choice but for me, I'd try the R6 and decide but that's just me lol. good luck!

It's because that's what they do with the video specs... I'm still waiting to upgrade my C100II to something smaller and better... like a FF mirrorless... I have a lot of EF mount lenses, even TS-E... A lot of LP6 batteries... I look to Sony A7SIII - it's almost perfect. Sony keeps the same grip, the same batteries for all A7 series - so it's a good value; Canon makes you buy a grip for each camera model, that very soon has no value without the camera. Canon released 5D mark IV, but with impossible data rates in 4K, with only 24/25/30p and OMG, a huge crop factor... Oh, and an outdated CF Card! 1DXIII seems to be ok... but still is hard to use it as a video camera.
Then, the RF mount was promising.... Canon teased us by releasing the greatest mirrorless ever made using the advertising slogan "Revolutionising videography. Again." But they limited it with a fake temperature sensor and they called it "overheating". Is very frustrating to see than all my the Canon gear is dropping in price, mostly when I want to resell it. Other cameras hold up their price even if they are used. But Canon goes down in price with huge steps. This is a reality. People see that other manufacturers are more innovative and they listen to their customers so they will probably buy that, mostly if they just enter in this business with no previous investment. In the cinema world Sony released FX9 and now FX7 is coming (let's see!). FF 6K camera priced at $10,998 now on B&H. Canon released C500 FF 5.9K at $15,999! Canon is pushing our limits and is punishing it's (especially older) customers with their crippled cameras. So yes, is very frustrating. And yes, even after those limitations on R5, Canon even charge a lot for that (crippled thing). If you put in balance what each camera can do.... for the price, I think it's not worth it. As someone already said: "Why would someone buy a car that has an overheating engine?" I think this is a valid question. So, no, if it's not reliable, I'm not interested!

I still think the biggest issue with the R/RP is the form factor and the R5/6 shows that in their move back to the more traditional form factor. I really could see a lower priced model with the same form factor.
But, RP Sensor/EVF/Video. No joystick. Arrow buttons instead of third rear dial. Scene mode instead of custom modes. Improved AF.
