Optyczne.pl, the mother site of lenstip, is one of my favourite sites as it does rigorous measurements on bodies and sensors, AF etc. The R6 II has scored very highly on AF accuracy, and its sensor resolution is good https://www.optyczne.pl/index.html?test=aparat&test_ap=485 It appears to have no low pass filter in the vertical direction and a weakened one in the horizontal. The result is that its 24 Mpx sensor outresolves the 30 Mpx 5DIV, which has very strong low-pass filters, but at the expense of some Moire. I know from experience that the 5DIV's resolution suffers to get rid of any Moire. The R5 also asymmetric low-pass filtering but in tens of thousands of my bird photos I have never seen any Moire in the feathers.

You don’t lose credibility for testing camera bodies because you don’t test lenses. They actually used RF lenses in their resolution and AF tests. One thing about the site is that the comments are the rudest I’ve ever in seen camera forums.

True, but you loose credibility when you test all the lenses except ones produced by the market leader.

It's annoying they don't as when they do test, they do it well. Do you know the reason why?

Chief editor is claiming that there is no existing camera that would allow them to test those lenses correctly.

That fits to the results of some German foto magazines, that the R6 II sensor performance outresolves a lot of higher MP competitors, Even the R3 BSI, and only the R5 is better.
And from my experience with the 5D4 loss of detail I can second that as well.
Very interesting information.

Very interesting - Q: do you know if the EOS R has the same LP filter set-up as the 5D IV, ie along with the same sensor?

Thank you. As I plan for (possibly) updating from the EOS R, that make the options clearer. The R6 II at 24MP was already more appealing than the R6, but objective evidence that it also outresolves the 5D IV / EOS R makes it more appealing. I don't need FPS speed, but IBIS would be great.
I'm therefore also intrigued as to whether the rumoured R8 has the same (or a version of) the R6 II's 24MP sensor, in which case it'll get down to the list of features (including form factor and inclusion or otherwise of IBIS).

It may be because of $$$ reasons. Send them a rental and hope they send it back for them to test it?

That reads like conspiracy drivel. What is preventing e.g. an R5 from ‘testing’ lenses?

They receive cameras from Canon Poland for tests, it's just their will not to test lenses. For biggest portal in the country it is not a problem to receive anything for tests, or even buy it if needed - or rent it if absolutely necesary.

I'm less sure, now.
After having read Brian's TDP EOS R review again, I proceded today to a comparison between R and 5 D4. Brian always repeted that he didn't understand why the R , compared to the D IV, lacked some sharpness.
To resume what I did:
-Same heavy tripod on concrete
_My best lens (Apo Macro Elmarit), infinity setting
-Mirror up, timer shutter release
-High shutter speed
The 5 DIV was always visibly sharper (not a huge difference, but couldn't be overlooked when pixel peeping).
Filter? Protection glass?
