Global shutter would be a technical win for Canon, but most current opinion that I've read says that readout speeds with electronic shutter on the latest generation of sensors is sufficient to make rolling shutter a non-issue. What practical benefits (other than eliminating rolling shutter) would global shutter provide? Would it e.g. enable flash sync at all shutter speeds? I'm unclear as to the pros and cons versus a high performance stacked sensor and conventional electronic shutter.
What's the relationship between processor architecture and firmware size ? Suppose the processor grows from 10 cores to 20. Do you expect the firmware size to double ?
I was under the impression that the R5 and R5 C were identical in photo mode.
I've owned 3 Sony cameras, but although they performed well enough, I never felt "at home" with them. Nevertheless, I give Sony full credit for reinvigorating the camera market. They certainly gave Canon, Nikon etc a much deserved kick up the butt, without which we'd probably still all be using DSLRs. I'm sure Canon would love to be first with global shutter, but they tend to hold back and watch what other companies do, so I'd expect Sony to be first. Tribalistic brand fans can be a pain, I prefer to just avoid them.Just imagine the Sony fanboy's reaction if the R1 comes out in 2024 with a global shutter!
That alone would be worth any expense Canon incurs to do it.
So, there has been >10 years of precedence for dual processors in 1 series bodies and that Canon has experience in managing parallel processing in SW and could theoretically do the same for any future body depending on thermal issues.

There was a lot of interest in the beginning before a workaround for the overheating limit was found which was removing the battery and resetting the clock.Not enough experienced people working on it. There has been some progress on R series cameras, but not much. The intersection of people with enough experience/skill that have access to the camera and are motivated enough is quite small.

After that, development interest fell off.
Now that there is an R5 C there is pretty much no development interest at all.
Not to Canon.
They have not shown to care about things like that.
I think most camera manufacturers, including Canon *do* try pretty hard to keep existing models up to date with firmware. They obviously realise that they have to do so, in order to keep sales moving until such time as a successor model is launched. especially, because in the intervening period, other manufacturers will have introduced new models that make the older ones less appealing.In terms of sustainability, I would wish if the manufacturers would try a little more with the firmware in order to give the systems a slightly longer lifespan on the market. The systems are always expensive enough. These cameras can also contribute to the conservation of raw materials and the environment. We're not the last generation and the "rare earth metals" aren't multiplying any more.

When the 1D X came out, it did not support f/8 AF. That was added in an early firmware update. I’ve always felt they wanted to incorporate the feature, but hadn’t fully tested it at launch so it was safer to not include it at that point.Canon was "playing safe" when the R5 was first released, deliberately limiting the time that video could run,
To make it short, I would ask myself two questions:Good morning all. I need a reccomandation. ...
In the initial release, the limiting logic was only based on timers, and did not depend on the temperature sensors at all.My opinion:
Canon was "playing safe" when the R5 was first released, deliberately limiting the time that video could run, in order to reduce the potentially harmful effects of overheating. They changed the firmware purely because the unexpected outcry from video users was likely to harm sales.
Thanks Max.To make it short, I would ask myself two questions:
1. How long am I willing to wait?/ When do I need that second body?
==> We have no announcement date yet, and release/availability is a few weeks to months further on from that.
2. Am I willing to pay premium for the latest tech?
==> Supposedly higher or at least equal to the MRSP of the R5 at release (was it 4,499 € in Italy, too?)
I hope that helps you.
I think the MKii will probably have more resolution, perhaps 61 or even 90MP, and that *could* indicate that DR and noise are slightly worse. My guess is that DR and noise levels will be roughly the same as with the R5. It will definitely have improved AF, faster fps and at least a couple of extra marketing "features". I think there will be minor ergonomic changes.Good morning all. I need a reccomandation. I own a Canon R5 and several RF lenses (15-35 f2,8, 24-70 f2,8, 70-200 f2,8, 85 f1,2, 100-500 f7,1). As I do documentary, travel and street photography, I have come to the conclusion that rather than buy a RF 24-105 f/4 medium quality lens to be use as single lens in my trips, I should get a second camera body and use my "trinity" premium f/2,8 lenses. I think and hope that most of you agree with this approach?
Now, for the second camera body I could get an identical R5 (which is quite perfect to me) or wait for the next generation R5 Mark II near to be released camera. Big dilemma! The advantage of going for the R5 is to use for both bodies the identical menu, settings and so on, and at this stage buy it at a reasonable price. If I opt for the newest R5 Mark II, I will get some new features (why not? lol). BUT (!) price will be higher and on certain occasions where I will have to switch camera on the fly (ie because a chaotic event for example) I might get stuck (maybe) btw the 2 camera settings and so on...
What is your personal opinion? Do you think the Mark II will add for example in terms of image quality, dynamic range and AF precision better results than the current R5?
