Canon officially announces the EOS R5 and EOS R6 along with 4 new lenses and two teleconverters
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
I my mind, we are in the transition, industry-wide, of moving to mirrorless. Really no other way to look at it. Just like we saw the paradigm shift from film to digital, we are now in the midst of the shift from DSLR to Mirrorless. DSLRs will persist for a long time as film cameras have, but the "norm" will be mirrorless as technology keeps on its inexorable march forward; like it or not.

You can use the LP-E6 power source that has existed for some years, the original product is the Canon AC Adapter Kit ACK-E6, unlimited power for video and time lapse applications.Did anyone read or hear something about external power of the R5/R6? For longer videos or timelapses, it would be a much welcomed feature to have the possibility to charge with a Powerbank while the camera is shooting or recording.
Also, did anyone see any raw files yet?I know Canon doesn't give out any specs regarding DR or ISO noise, except saying that it's "improved" which can mean a ton of things....

So far my only disappointment is the 24-105 L f/4 kit not giving you any kind of price break.
I suppose it's possible they'll throw in a no-control-ring adapter for "free" and thereby make the bundle a bit better than a push, but at this point I'd rather have the hundred bucks, since I bought two control-ring adapters from the refurb department already. (Or, alternatively, offer to swap the no-control-ring adapter out for one with control ring for $100, which is the price difference between the two at retail.)
I put in a pre-order (and paid $1000 down) a couple of weeks ago at a brick-and-mortar place. So I should have my R5 pretty close to the 30th.

I'm not one of the guys that bashes other manufacturers (though I've always been partial to Canon...I will surely admit their shortcomings)...but my best buddy is a Sony shooter, and I will definitely be giving him a hard time about this. And when Sony releases the A7 IV, I'm sure I'll get what's coming to me.

No go back and read it again. It’s say up to 8 stops when used in conjunction with IS lenses.So 8 stops with IBIS alone?

Or maybe you won't. It's going to be tough to outdo this.

I'm sure the IS lenses do work in conjunction with the IBIS, but apparently the image circle is a bigger factor in determining how many stops of stabilization you get. This is why the 28-70, which has no lens IS, can still get the top end 8-stops.
I am hyped about the video IBIS. Was hoping they would be on Panasonic/Olympus levels and that is exactly what DPReview enlikened it to.

Battery life was suppose to be a big deal on the R and I have never really had any issues, I tend to take the shot(s) and switch the camera off. When recording video I mostly shoot short 5 min max clips and again never really had issues.
I have spare batteries but mostly because I read about the need for them and that just never really panned out for me. Sounds like you can power the Camera using a PD powerbank not just charge so that will help with any power issues if true.

That would be awesome if true. Basically inline with the Nikon and Sony sensors or a hair behind. I will definitely use that in my landscape work. Less bracketing!

It was the portrait photographer that was shooting the dancer. She handheld a four second shot with the model moving and the room still. Looked pretty cool but you couldn’t analyze details to be sure.In one of the Canon promo vids I could have sworn I heard someone say they can hand-hold for 4 seconds using the R5/IS lens combo. That seems to good to be true. But hey repeated it several times and seemed pretty adamant.
I guess we'll see.

It will be interesting now to see what the R1 will bring. I think battery life to keep the EVF at 120FPS and instant On are going to be the killer 1 series features. A fully gripped camera. Also very interested to see the Z6s and Z7s compared to the R5 and R6, if the second processor and extra memory will be enough to bring them in line.
