If only we could have wi-fi tethering as fast as cabled tethering. Completely lagless. That would be a reason for me to add a new body to my kit.

Canon EOS R5 Mark II unconfirmed specifications
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
BSI Stacked1; 6EV stops of Dr is more significant than MP; improved AF; better implementation of Pixel-shift. These seems a good upgrade
And for those who are "pre-complaining" the lack of upgrades in stills. There's. And it's not charging you 6kUSD like a9iii to tell you tHiS cHaNgEs EvErYtHiNg

The R5 Mk2 is shaping up to be a solid successor to the original R5. One more week and we will have official specifications from Canon. I suspect more leaks over the weekend and early next week as well.

I think it was reported back in March that the R5II might have Clog 2. Has that been confirmed anywhere?
Personally, I am a former 5DIII owner who now runs a single Sony a7siii (I used to also have an a7riii) and I am hoping the R5II can replace it. I have no doubt that it will be more than enough for me photo wise (I miss the resolution of my a7r and even my 5DIII), but it would be interesting to see how the R5II comes out on the video front. For me, in addition to Clog2, it would be great to see actual 4K 120p (like I have on my a7s) rather than overcranked only which is I think how it works on the original R5.

That all sounds great. I’m probably most interested in the high resolution mode (though I struggle to see these as incredibly useful to me unless it can be done in a single exposure), illuminated buttons (I’m tired of hitting the trash can when trying to magnify an image in pitch black), high DR, and increased battery performance. Looking forward to seeing what’s real on the 17th!

If Canon had offered tethered battery pack support - picture a battery grip-type enclosure with 4-6 battery slots and a power cable - in their mirrorless cameras like Sony had done years ago, we could get beasty performance and shooting longevity that would benefit many pro and enthusiast users.

*16 stops dr, precapture, better lcd, better af...
Yup, I'm on the waiting list by my supplier .
* i don't care if this is single shot or so , i wanna see how the result will compare to medium format colors.

I Shot the Sheriff, but I Did Not Shoot the Deputy
For simple 'candid' shots around the house (such as images of someone blowing out candles on a birthday cake), it is amazing how functional Apple's implementation of pre-capture is...on my trusty iPhone 12 Pro Max. This phone (which I am likely to replace in a couple of months) is now my device of choice for shooting certain scenes.
I look forward to seeing how well Canon's pre-capture works.

You are not playing devil's advocate, you are just smart enough to understand that camera tech has reached a level of maturity where only minor upgrades will occur. Sensor efficiency has already been at a point where there have been no improvements in DR in years, and probably won't be unless some in-camera processing kicks in to change exposure in various areas of the photo. FPS burst speed has been something that continues to go up, but for most photographers, the maximum is already beyond what they normally shoot. As has been stated many times, each new generation of a specific series camera is NOT THE TARGET MARKET for users of the previous generation. Sure, some will upgrade, but those expecting major updates or "revolutionary" changes will become more and more disappointed as we move forward. All brands and all cameras pretty much do it all right now. It amazes me that folks are always complaining, and even more amazed that people seem to want to spend more money on cameras when their current camera is almost certainly giving them all they could ever want.

You can do that today with a USB-C PD powerbank and a proper USB-C cable. This is how I used my R8 in a hide and kept the EVF/LCD on for 6+ hours, with the puny LP-E17 battery inside the camera and a big powerbank next to it.

For such non-repeating events, the current mode works well enough. But if you're waiting for an animal to reappear, it gets in your way. Saying "wait a few seconds while the camera catches up" doesn't work on wildlife at all, it has mixed results with my kids
Clog2 is doubtful, but I think it should be able to do both of s3&r3's tasks. If you are accepting to use clog3 or RAW

The Smart Controller is awesome. The joystick was ok with AF points numbered in the 10's, but with essentially the whole FoV available to select a focus point, the Smart Controller is thumbs-down the best and fastest method I've used. I do use eye controlled AF on the R3, and it works for me but it's real utility is switching between subjects the camera can already detect (e.g. players on a field). But I use the Smart Controller much more, it's fast and allows selection of a specific point at will.
FWIW, the latest rumor was the R5II would get eye controlled AF but not the Smart Controller.
