Image stabilization surprised me

It's probably electronic for video.

About the physical size of the M6mk2 but aproximately 30g lighter. Just tall enough for the RF mount if one cares to carry a lens. I would most likely get both cameras.

IBIS please.....it\'ll be perfect fit with RF28 pancake

 

[koenkooi]

I keep hoping that Canon will release an aps-c body with a useable electronic shutter... The R7 is borderline usable and shows that higher MP don't mean that the sensor is slower. So please give us a 24MP APS-C sensor that approaches R8-like readout speeds!

If the sizing prediction is correct, it might be a nice replacement for my M6II, but I don't feel like spending R50V + sigma 10-18 + sigma 18-50 money on that idea

 

[Maximilian]

Seems I did everything right by pushing the button on an R50+Sigma18-50 bundle for a good price.
Only IBIS could make me change my mind. But I lives without it for decades.

HDMI	Yes
Microphone port	Yes
Headphone port	Yes

Thats really a relief! Not because I am personally interested in this camera, but because these three offer a lot of options. In the past, not all cameras had a headphone port, though it would have been good to have one. Yes, the HDMI might not be a full HDMI port, but rather micro or mini, but at least you can charge your camera while using an external monitor, if you want to.

Image stabilisation is porbably not IBIS, but digital IS. I would be genuinely surprised to see IBIS in this camera.

• Less resolution than an M6II (but probably superior image quality with more modern sensor)
• 4mm higher than an M6II (might be an issue for my use case but could still fit)
• same battery as the M6II
• AF highly likely superior to an M6II
• APS-C fine, I got the R5 for full frame, it's a good combination

Questions:

• what about the viewfinder (internal, external, none)?
• auto ISO with shutter speed limit?
• wireless Built-In, ok but how fast, what standards?

I might be tempted to try it if there are good, compact replacements for the Canon M 32mm 1.4, Sigman M 56mm 1.4, Canon M 11-22mm, Canon EF-S 50-250mm (which I just could keep using with the RF Adapter instead of the M adapter).

But I need those compact portrait primes. How about an M - RF-S adapter?

Just replaced the EF 100-400 with the RF 100-500, going full R on both bodies would bring the dual use of this lens back.

The R50V will likely only have EFCS, the M6II only has fully mechanical shutter, so taking pictures will hopefully be quieter and less bone shaking. I'm also not sure about the R50 sensor being "better" than the M6II sensor, for noise performance it depends on the ISO:

Photographic Dynamic Range versus ISO Setting

 

[SvO2]

I wonder if we’ll get V versions of any other cameras.

 

[Blorp]

the M6II only has fully mechanical shutter,

The M6II can use full electronic shutter being absolutely silent. But yes the mechanical one is a massive attention seeker.

With a few disadvantages: no burst mode, more prone to flickering light, no external flash..

Still odd, I would expect a lower res sensor to perform better.

I received further clarification and updated the post with some new information.

Does anyone know if this will have clog and 4K 60fps? I guess we can forget 120fps

Since when can we use Sigma with RF?

 

[D_K_photo]

Since they released RF-s version? I think last year

Since when can we use Sigma with RF?

There are lots of Sigma prime and zoom lenses for crop RF

The updated specs have “view assist”, which implies some form of CLOG.

Totally missed that Canon finally allowed Sigma to produce lenses for the RF mount so I guess upgrading from the M6 II is fairly easy then:

Buy:
R50V
Canon RF‑S 10–18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM or Sigma RF-S 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN (favoring the Sigma for obvious reasons)
Canon RF(-S) 20mm f/1.4L VCM
Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM Pancake (for keeping it small)
Sigma RF-S 30mm f/1.4 DC DN
Sigma RF-S 56mm f/1.4 DC DN

Keep:
Canon EF‑S 55–250mm f/4‑5.6 IS STM with RF Adapter

Sell:
M6 II
Canon EF-M Adapter
Canon M 11–22mm f/4.5-5.6
Canon M 22mm f/2.0
Canon M 32mm f/1.4 STM
Sigma M 56mm f/1.4 DC DN

so I guess upgrading from the M6 II is fairly easy then

No meaningful advantages for me, so I plan on sticking with my M kit.
