Specs look good.
R5 is pretty much perfect for my use cases. this looks to address a couple of real world minor painpoints:
- dynamic range could be better --> BSI sensor
- electronic shutter being all too compromised, both in high iso as well as moving subjects --> much faster readout
- below average battery life, i went for battery grip to get through a day of shooting --> new battery update it seems
- app being too sluggish to actually replace e.g. a remote trigger --> new app
more is better: resolution is apprechiated, i will gladly use 60MP: for every MP generation there was always someone saying
1. "...but xMP is enough, it slows my workflow down..." and then they upgrade and argue the same way again - its bullocks - just get a macbook with M chip or whatever and fill up your hard drives 40% faster - i take the tradeoff any day
2. "but lower resolution is better for noise" - which is not true if you normalise for resolution in photos. in videos it depends on the binning performance (which hopefully will be great with the X2s processor)
3. "but i don't crop", "it's just for instagram" ... same argument as if you're not wearing a helmet when biking, you might regret it, even though its fine most of the time
no word yet on FPS: but i guess it doesnt matter if they nail electronic shutter 20,30 crazy number FPS will be definitely more than enough.
I hope they allow us to adjust the FPS cap for electronic shutter - not just single vs. 20 like in the R5
