Any rumors about focus bracketing making its way into the EOS R ??

My feelings exactlyI may seriously consider the RP as a second body but I will continue to wait for an update to the 7d2.
I take just my G7X Mark II when I travel. It has the equivalent of 24-100mm field of view. If I ever miss having other focal lengths, it is on the wide side. I stitch some pictures together after I get home, and sometimes shoot with that in mind. Even locally, I sometimes find that when I am using the 24-105mm on my DSLR and have other lenses along in the trunk of the car, they stay in the trunk. And of course there are plenty of times that I head out with just the 100-400mm or the 16-35mm because I know which one suits what I plan to shoot, so I by no means regret buying those fine lenses.I've done a month-long vacation with the 24-105/4IS (EF, MkI) and the 135/2 and ended up literally never using the 135mm. I think 105 is a good tele end for travel.
Personal experience with Sigma 35mm on 5DSR was not that pleasant and focus was consistently inconsistent! However, Sigma 20mm on EOS-R is totally different experience. It seems that later Sigma lenses on Canon mirrorless bodies perform quite well and features such as profile based correction and in camera vignetting removal work fine. I haven't tried Sigma's zoom or longer lenses, though.
Okay what is wrong with this picture? A 5DS replacement is in the works and already possibly being field-tested with dual card slots and a joystick, but a pro body is not anytime in the near future because sensors are hard to develop esp. for good AF? So this new 100MP 5DS-replacement is not a pro body and is going to have crappy AF then? So its going to be a super high end Canon R that is designed for everyone else other than pros? Not making any sense.
Me too!I'll like to see Canon release a f/4 trinity for the R-mount: 16-35 f/4, 24-70 f/4 and 70-200 f/4. But make the trinity lighter than what the competition can do....
True, but 45nm process has been in production for nearly 12 years. All the fabs/production lines should be pretty much fully depreciated by now, and even if you want to set up a new fab that is tuned with some analog process capabilities, you could get most of the production machinery for almost nothing. If Canon is still using 180nm even for their latest generation sensors as you suggested, that is really weird. Especially since metal interconnect at 180nm process can cause significant photo site area reduction for high resolution non-BSI sensors.The pixels are not the problem, but the other elements on the same die are. The sensor in the Sony A9 has one DAC on the end of each image line! You can’t do that in 180nm which afaik is canons best tech. Sony uses 46nm or so. They developed all that for smartphone cameras and used the same tech on much larger sensors. Canon is speed limited and only can go faster with lower MP, see 1DX2.

What happened with Canon APS-C cameras? Years ago Canon used to be a leader there, having the best bodies and now i can't even think of an up to date APS-C camera from them which is not entry level. The 80D is old, the 7DII is ancient, the M cameras are old or very entry level.
While competitors have D500, X-T3, A6400/A6500.
Me too. This might push me to upgrade my 6D to the R. I'd love to shave some size/weight off my regular walk around gear. For me it's mostly the wide and normal end. I don't use the tele end as much (and I don't expect much in size or weight savings there), so I would probably stick with an adapted 70-300L for a while at least. As an aside, I picked that one up used last year and loved having it on a family trip to Alaska. An R version of that would eventually end up in my kit, but I have to prioritize my gear budget since this is just a hobby for me.Me too!
