My guess is that it either didn’t work at all or capped the capacity to 1TB.
Maybe it means that exFAT filesystem cluster sizes larger than 512 KB weren't and still aren't supported, but now you can format a filesystem just on a 2 TB part of the card space, if otherwise the filesystem cluster size would be too large for the camera to work.
That assumes that the animal eye AF improvements are all in the software. Perhaps there's another circuit or some other mechanical feature that makes the later cameras so much better. I don't know the answer -- but given the level of dissatisfaction among R5 owners, maybe Canon isn't fixing it using Firmware because it can't be fixed using Firmware.
My guess is that they are not implementing improvements in eyeAF for the simple reason that they don't want to - it will be an added feature to make the R5ii seem more of an upgrade. I find the AF fine anyway, but I don't photo dogs.
Agreed. Canon can't push the 6K new camera if they update the perfectly good R5. Remember when Canon only updated every 10 to 15 years? The current batch of users are too used to bright and shinny rather than focusing on the craft in my view.
So, this all gets to be the people we know and the circles we run in and what individual people are trying to accomplish....but, other than this forum, I am only aware of extremely satisfied R5 owners, including myself. Matter of fact, the refrain I hear most often is that R5 owners are planning to skip a generation. I'll wait to see what the R5ii has to offer, but I could see myself falling into that camp.
Me too. Unless the R5ii has some serious real upgrades, I won't be in a rush to buy.
They just don't have to do that... Sad for us, but quite logical from industrial pov...
