Good news for me the R5 II is coming sooner than later.
I have skipped on the R5 since what I am shooting did not happen during the pandemic (2020-21-22). It restated last year but there were rumors of an R5 II and my current camera is still great, I waited. So I am still on the much capable 5D4, but AF on the eyes at thin DOF, tiltable screen, and higher framerate will definitely improve some critical shots, so mirorless is worth it and I am pretty excited with the change.
Lens wise only the 85 1.2 is exciting in the new mount (please announce a 200 f2.0 or 1.8 replacement with the R1, or I'll take a 100-200 2.0 S 1.4x either !).
I don't want to get crazy about specs, so here is what would make me happy in a mkII :
- Wish: stacked BSI sensor (for even faster AF and clean 20fps electronic shutter), pre-capture with a large buffer (CF express 4 compatible please), and improved ways to quickly select subjects when multiple people are in frame. Those three improvement will have a noticeable quality impact on my images.
- Welcome : imrpoved and larger viewfinder, 30-40 fps, CF express 4 compatible, quad pixel (if the quality impact is there), more MPs
- Do not want : global shutter, MP drop
If the mk II hits the wish points it would be great. I will still by the mkII in any case (unless the R1 is like 60MP vs 45 for the mk II, then I would be happy to go back to the 1 series), but I need high def).
