Eyetracking is the reason why ,after the R3 got launched, I didn't buy the the R5.****** the R1. (Sorry for strong language, but it's directed at hardware and not people, so it might be ok)
That beast of a camera is for nerds and Scrooge McDuck.
As an owner of an R7 and an R6 I am absolutely fascinated by a possible R5II as a replacement for my two camera bodys.
Especially since I tried the R3s eyetracking at the photopia last year, which absolutely blew my mind.
If they bring eyetracking in the R5mark2, I will buy it, even if it is more expensive than the original R5
Well, the nO 3Rd PaRtIeS card is still usableI'm late.. is Canon Doomed™?
Most certainly. Whatever they put out, someone will bound to be not happy (enough). For me, I am somewhat excited at how low the price of a new R5 can go. At this point, USD3000 is a very attractive price, and that may creep downwards a little more nearer the R5II release date. It could well be a very good bargain for someone like me who has no ambition to buy a new R5II at launch. A heavily discounted new R5, which is still an excellent camera that can remain relevant for a good many years for my use case, represents a promising purchase prospect.I'm late.. is Canon Doomed™?
I agree with the 1.2/1.4 lenses, but there is room for a 28 f1.8 IS lens.I don't see a point of 28mm f1.8 non L when there is f2.8 pancake. Give us 14mm f1.4L, 20mm f1.4L/f1.8L, 24mm f1.2L and 35mm f1.2L/f1.4L.
Although it was not designed for the size, I was able to make the R5 with battery grip fit!Eyetracking is the reason why ,after the R3 got launched, I didn't buy the the R5.
I too was impressed with the R3, not only by the eye-control AF, but also by what I think are the best ergonomics on the market. Sadly, it doesn't fit in my carrying system, the R1 won't either.
The best of both worlds, for me, would (will?) be the R5 with eyetracking AF, so, the R5 II.
And I'm d*** egoistically happy it comes ahead of the R1!
Followed by this same argument:Well, the nO 3Rd PaRtIeS card is still usable
People who really need to save money can buy the original 5D for around $250 last time I checked.Most certainly. Whatever they put out, someone will bound to be not happy (enough).

When they say third Quarter, doesn't that mean 2024.75?Euro2024 sounds too good to be true, I expect much higher prices!

I had such a love / hate relationship with that camera.....People who really need to save money can buy the original 5D for around $250 last time I checked.

"#1 announcement"
"I'm going to switch to Sonikon and other people will too!"
"that's ok, other other people will replace you when they buy their first camera."
"High F number!"
"Noise Reduction!"

3rd quarter begins technically July 1. However Euro 2024 starts 14 June. Therefore those cameras must be shipped well before June 14.When they say third Quarter, doesn't that mean 2024.75?
