Which also means the end of the mech. shutter.

It'll most likely be 36-40 mpx, stacked CMOS, no LPF(hopefully), 30 fps 12bit compressed, 20 fps lossless 14bit - just like the Sony a1. The biggest thing/hope for me is the AF in video getting as good as the Photo AF, so again, hopefully, the QP will answer that prayer:) 85mpx GS in 10 years...

Coming next: the 1DX-bodied R1 with a huge battery, fast stacked sensor, 20fps @ 36mpx @ 14bit, low-light-king-of-the-underworld, and... NO video(!!!), and NO low-pass filter!!! (Disclaimer: this is not a rumor... just me daydreaming...)

And it's still better than the a9 which always drops to 12 bit in servo, and always uses lossy compression at 20fps. The rolling shutter is the potential problem here. And also, according to DPR, the "slideshow effect" in the EVF at 12fps m. shutter.

Reading rumors like this, a whole damn year ahead of the release, is torture and leads to dehydration... P.S. Where is the drooling emoticon?

Omg, how am I gonna carry all that glass?! My room is gonna look like the iron throne with all that in the background :P

Does it have the animal eye AF?

2021 will be a flagship showdown. Let me initiate a drooling sequence: 30 mp stacked w/o rolling shutter 14 fps mech. shutter in 14 bit / 20 fps el. shutter in 12 bit (13?) LP-E19H 3200 mAh 2x CFexpress B and 2x SD UHS III AF sensitivity -8EV (minimum :)) No IBIS (Please God!) No video and...

"R" for video makes perfect sense, because it's full frame(low light), and mostly because A7SIII exist. From a competitive point of view, Canon needs to demonstrates it's Digic X AF prowess for video. "Yes, but Sony have that low light beast" argument should be countered.

Me: What? Sony: People are buying those Canons like crazy, we must do something, but we don't know what. So, let's behead the A73 and repackage it with lazy marketing - no one would notice. :rolleyes:

The idea of a hybrid camera is stupid in the first place. It's like sitting on two chairs. Merging a Ferrari and Rolls Royce may sound great and cheaper in theory, but in real life it's going to fail and cost way more. The R5 is the proof: best photo camera currently on the market, and a...

I have a better firmware update: don't buy it for video! It's still a better - and cheaper - camera for wildlife, landscapes and portraits than the Sony's "flagship" in variety of aspects. Forget the marketing blunder and ignore the whole online stupidity of click bait drama queens.

Imagine if the camera overheats during the update... :mad:

Canon is definitely the torch runner of 2020's camera Olympics :devilish:

I think people have overheated the problem way more than the actual cameras do. Canon is going to fix it, period. But, I'm not sure who's going to fix people's awful habit to focus on the negative! Instead of cheering for Canon for making serious attempts to break the conservatism barrier and...

What's next? R1 - Photo-only pro body with 1dx-like grip, 2xSSD, Animal eye pupil AF @ 16fps 14 bit mechanical, or 20fps @ 13bit e-shutter, nuclear blast proof and 5 million shutter life. Stop giving us breadcrumbs and hot potatoes, get real, Canon!!!:alien:

I'm not sure about that, considering we don't know how well the AF tracks, and also if there is an EVF lag; which is way more important to me.

Sony's 24 mpx. A9II drops everything to 12bit in continuous mode, regardless of the speed. I guess the lesser number of R6's pixels helps, or the penalty applies but they just didn't feel mentioning it :P. I'd be OK with 8fps 13bit if the AF tracks as well as the Sony/1DxIII.

The same ugly, squarish design. All the dials cluttered on the right side, and nothing on the left. It induces discomfort just by looking at it. Hopefully, it's functionally ok; Sony people have been waiting for it for ages.

Which means Canon are confident the "R" line is as solid and reliable as the 5D one. They wouldn't abandon their main gold photo vein just just like that :)
