What on earth is this article even talking about?
Sometimes I think people that write these things really have never used an R5/6. For one there is no blackout in ES or in 12FPS MS/EFCS. Secondly, what does lag refer to? There are a number of different lags in the R5 and some that exist in all cameras with an EVF. In fact there is shutter lag in all cameras, even DSLRs.
Does lag refer to the slideshow jumpiness on R5/R6 when letting off the shutter in ES? Does lag refer to the wakeup time of the EVF from sleep or even when not in sleep? Does lag refer to the EVF lag present due to the time it takes to bring in the RAW data and send an image to the EVF? Or does lag refer to the shutter lag I mentioned earlier?
When I read this this morning and started reading through this thread the discussion gravitated towards discussing EVF wakeup time. Somehow I don't think that was what the article was referring to...but who knows??
What the R3's stacked sensor is most likely going to fix is slideshow jumpiness when letting off the shutter in ES and the stutter in 12FPS MS/EFCS. It also may decrease the lag in processing and displaying the image in the EVF. It isn't going to eliminate blackout because there is no blackout to eliminate (I guess maybe in the slower FPS MS modes). Canon should do something about the wakeup time though.
I owned the R5 for 6 months. I've been shooting the A1 since I sold it. This past Saturday I shot the R5 for an entire day just to reacquaint myself with the pros and cons. Wakeup lag was annoying (A1 can turn off sleep mode...EVF still goes off after 2s but EVF wakes instantly with the sensor without any pushing buttons ahead of raising it to your eye). Grabbing backgrounds with AF was annoying. The stutter when letting off the shutter during a burst was costing me shots. Not being able to change the ES FPS was annoying. Seeing leaning structures, trees, grass in my backgrounds was annoying. All in all, the R3 has lots of things to improve on over the R5/6 if it wants to compete with the A1. I'm certain it will fix most, if not all, of these things with the stacked sensor. And I'm sure the R1 will fix the MP deficit.
On the positive the R5 on Saturday showed me that the BEAF is still top of the class and the in focus hit rate (when the AF was working and not jumping to the background) was excellent.
