Canon EOS R5 Mark II deliveries have already started
- Thread starter Canon Rumors Guy
- Start date
I’m going to give that a serious try, we’ll see how I like it.
I’ve already doubled the write speed of my self-built NAS by reading the manual, so it will be a matter of tedium versus willpower

Let us know if it ships.
As another data point, I ordered from B&H 13min after the announcement, with the kit lens to try and hope I would have less competition. So far my order status is "New Order", and my credit card has not been charged yet.

Same, I ordered the camera about 30 seconds after it opened for orders (received the order confirmation email at 3:00:30am PDT) and it says "New Order" right now.
I don't think B&H is going to ship the camera until 8/18 or 8/19 to hit the official 8/20 street date. The early shipments seem to be from smaller, local camera stores instead of the national retailers.

As far as I know, "ISO Invariance" was a term/measure created by DPR so it is not unusual that they want to continue to push its "usefulness".
I believe they used 6 stops because the noise was still "reasonable" for Sony sensors at the time as the benchmark.
For me, pushing the shadows hard would still be 3-4 stops max even with very contrasty images and then using Topaz de noise anyway so the measure is a moot point for me and I guess the vast majority.
Pushing 6 stops is basically trying to recover a critical wedding photo that went completely wrong.
With dual ISO gain and "baked raws" the whole thing gets even more complicated to come up with which sensor is best overall.
We really are fortunate to live in an age of technology where a 6 stop push is scrutinised closely.

Why does Canon already supply dealers in the US? In Europe no cameras have been sent out according to my dealer..

I don’t know where the term originated, but I think it described fairly well the the first generation of on-chip ADC sensors (like the D800), where it made very little difference exposing at ISO 1600 or ISO 100 and pushing 4 stops in terms of DR/noise performance.
Of course, later advancements like having two or three distinct gains muddies the waters.

It's more to do with Canon USA vs say Canon Europe. It's probably easier to use dealers as a warehouse in the US due to the volume.

There have been rumors on this site and there are things about the sensor on the R5c that are apparently better? Reading around it seems the R5c is still better for video? I’m not sure there haven’t been any real tests or reviews. I’d be happy to get the r5mark 2 if for sure there is no r5c mark 2!

Speaking as a person with vritually no video experience and no R5C: The R5C runs the cinema operating system, which has all the things that make doing video a smooth experience. So unless you have very specific needs, like decreased rolling shutter, the R5C will be 'better' for video.
If you also want to do stills for sporting events, the R5II becomes more attractive. It's all about how much you use video and if you want the quality of life improvements the R5C software gives you. I wouldn't know what to do with an R5C

Okay, so I'm going to ignore the DPR review (or maybe later download their raw files and take a look myself). The exposures being different seems like an obvious issue with their process given the site is set up for comparison. Why would they do this indeed.
Most of my photography is landscapes. I'm very interested in the brighter EVF and the new 'Optical Viewfinder Simulation' mode. Does anyone know what this supposed to do exactly? I'm wondering if it will help when you are adjusting a CPL. For me, with my R5, I can clearly see the CPL effect sometimes. Other times I just use the histrogram to tell me when I have it set correctly. There's no question the CPL is working fine. The final pictures are fine. It's just through the EVF I can't always see the effect.

OVF simulation essentially shows an in-camera HDR image in the VF. Not sure if it will help with a CPL, as I don’t use OVF Sim on my R3 (but I also haven’t had an issue seeing the CPL effect).
I don’t use OVF Sim because it’s mutually exclusive with DoF preview + exposure sim, and I far prefer seeing the actual DoF to seeing an HDR image in the VF.

The r5c was great and competition with the fx3. They “should” be making one . Hopefully a more vid version than hybrid like the fx3

DPReview moved offices after the ‘take over’ by Gear Patrol and they had to move the test scene.

The R5C is beating the R5MK2 when it comes to video. Badly!
The Canon R5C is beating the Canon R5MK2 and this now 3 year old photo / cinema camera is still a much better choice for the serious videographer or filmmake...

Hopefully an R5c mark 2 will be released!
