Canon EOS R5 Mark II going to 60mp? [CR1]

[GMCPhotographics]

Maybe get a Leica Q2 or the newer Q3 for high quality portability...?

I think this is the first time I've seen someone advising a Lecia over a Canon on a Canon forum. LOL!

Leica Q2 is just EXPENSIVE. Why not Fuji x100v or Canon R8 or RP with a pancake lens (EF 40mm or RF 28 mm)??

And you could stick a red dot on them.

Yep, I personally like more 40mm than 28mm for walk-around/street, a Canon R8+40mm is pretty small and light and the money you save without a LEICA you could enjoy 2 or 3 trips..

That is because the R5 can shoot video in photo mode.

I only shoot stills, rarely videos. But sometimes, it show the "thermometer" sign and the back of the camera is rather hot.

That happened with my R8 recently shooting stills (which is all I shoot on ILCs), though it only showed a two of the 10 bars on the gauge in the EVF. Single shots (not bursts) with EFCS. I was in Rome at the time, and the ambient temperature was around 38 °C / 101 °F, which no doubt was the main reason.

I am not disputing that.
I am just pointing out that the overheating warning is for video.
If you try to record video then your camera might shut down.

Apparently not exclusively, else it would not show up when shooting stills.

Thanks, it did not shut down, however it did warn me about overheating.

The overheating warning has become a bit muddled since the R5. It will also light up when the camera is becoming too hot for high-res/high-speed video, but is still fine for stills.

People asked the same query about 24mp (or 21 in Canon's case) when 6-10mp was in the prosumer space.

yes .... more the Merrier... I'm a Bird (nature ) photographer and as you must know we would like to CROP,CROP,CROP... so 60,85, 100mp yep ....sure most other forms of photography might be satisfied with 24 or 30 MP it just is so much better for almost all the work I do .I always like the ability to crop ..to set up the composition after taking the image . A lot of times things happen quickly in nature ,especially with birds that composing a shot is not available or necessary at the moment. so...with more pixels the better the opportunity to have a great composition and a great close up with great detail. Thats why more the merrier.

It's not "that" expensive....to many out there.

But in the examples you mentioned....the Fuji is not FF sensor, it is crop.
I believe the resolution of the Q2/Q3 sensor is quite a bit larger than the R8 and RP....the latter I believe is about 60MP?

So, it's not only a size thing...BUT, also the specs and performance at that small, small size you have to consider too.

Just a thought.
