Maybe the R5II will be 24 MP.This is a thread about the R5 so why bother to say you don’t need its resolution? It’s irrelevant
But in fairness, a question was posed by @AccipiterQ, "Why would you get an R6 when you already have an R5?"

Ok. It just beats me why people justify or question why they or others want a particular resolution when it’s so obvious.Maybe the R5II will be 24 MP.
But in fairness, a question was posed by @AccipiterQ, "Why would you get an R6 when you already have an R5?"
I really hope for that - my bank account doesn't (but not for an R5)There will certainly be a "Summer Promotion" within the next few weeks.
Guess I'll wait for the R5 II (and for HUGE discounts on the R5). Provided my bank account doesn't interfere with my GAS.I really hope for that - my bank account doesn't (but not for an R5)
Price.Question: Why get the R6 if you already had the R5? I love my R5 and can't imagine what advantage the R6 would have over it
I doubt that specificlly the last part: ''The Nikon Z 8 may change that shortly". Have you checked this nice article? Based on its specs and new features IMHO - even with Z8 on the market aside from the fact that their CMOS would be stacked - nothing so "pushy" for Canon to release R5M2 any time soon :-(The Canon EOS R5 launched in 2020 for $3899, and then the planet decided it should cost more and we saw cost increases on the body. It looks like things have normalized and we’re starting to see the usual price drops on Canon cameras as they reach the second half of the life cycle. There

I recommend taking a look at the RF 100-400.It would also be beneficial since I'm focal length limited.
I had an R5 that I preordered and arrived on Day-1. I eventually sold it after I picked up a mint R3 on Ebay that a guy was selling for $4800. After using the R3 for a week, I never wanted to use the R5 anymore. Primarily I shoot kids sports, and the R3 excels at this. The 24mp images are more than enough for me. I also picked up an R8. It is a perfect companion for the R3 when I want to use two different lenses, or if I just want to carry a smaller body. I'm loving the prebuffer shooting on the R8. It works exceptionally well for baseball and getting the ball on the bat. In this regard it is superior to the R3. I REALLY REALLY hope that feature makes it to the R3 via firmware...I'm not opposed to having more MP, but it's not a major decision driver for me. I prefer integrated grip bodies for ergonomics, which I why the 1D X remained my primary camera until the R3 came out, even though I had the EOS R. With current Canon bodies, AF performance is no longer a big differentiator (yes, the R3 has a slight edge over the others for fast action but the differential is nowhere near what it was a few years ago). I'm quite happy with the 24 MP sensors in my R3 and R8.
For everyday use, the R3 will remain my go-to for the ergonomics and performance. For me, the R8 will be a travel camera – FF sensor in a very small/light package, if I bring the M6II on the trip (or one of my kids does), shared batteries. I'll generally be shooting with mechanical shutter for the full bit depth, since I won't need the speed.I had an R5 that I preordered and arrived on Day-1.

I'd rather that they were "more aggressive" in pricing, and "more aggressive" in releasing lenses.The R5 is very capable but the competition has passed it by. Canon needs to be more aggressive in releasing new top-end
products. imho
Yes, but you're not a troll.I'd rather that they were "more aggressive" in pricing, and "more aggressive" in releasing lenses.
I don't regard cameras such as the Sony A1, Nikon Z9 or the upcoming Z8 as being superior to the R5, or of "passing it by". They are alternatives, better in some ways, inferior in others. Overall, I still consider the R5 to be the "best" FF camera on the market, even 2 years after launch.
I responded to a comment asking why would one choose R6 over R5 for motor sports photography. R5 would be my camera if I shot lower number of photos. I typically bring 2 500 to 5 000 files from big events. High resolution is a disadvantage for such line of work. The few shots that do need super resolution can get enhanced in Lightroom.This is a thread about the R5 so why bother to say you don’t need its resolution? It’s irrelevant
The same old, same old comment that has been shown to be inaccurate. If you think the competition is so much better, get the brand you really want.The R5 is very capable but the competition has passed it by. Canon needs to be more aggressive in releasing new top-end
products. imho
