Canon EOS R6 IBIS in action

[Aussie shooter]

I hope they're as good as the Leica EVF's

Best I have tried are the EOSR and Sony A9. Both not good enough for me for a dedicated action camera although both quite sufficient for a general purpose camera.

So just based on the body type variance alone, magnesium alloy vs not. RP Grip (smaller frame) then perhaps we are looking at a $1500-$1800 camera, and the magnesium R5 in the $3500-3800 range... Your opinions folks?

This information could've been in the R6 rumor page because it's not substantial enough to have its own page.

It was substantial enough for you to comment.

What I am most concerned about is an increase in D.R. - hopefully they have worked that out.
And the slideshow (e.g. I don’t know where my subject is headed ) issue when shooting fast with the R.

What was meant with 'same grip as the RP'?

 

[Chavim]

Does it have a flippy screen?

 

[PureClassA]

The more I re-read this post, the more I lose hope that this IS actually the “A7s” type competitor. Smaller body. No top down LCD....

... and ROUNDER??? Like, Less boxy? More curvature? Really obese? Im confused on that one a bit

There were rumors about a camera below the Canon EOS RP and rumors about a video oriented camera like the Sony A7S series. What direction do you think the R6 will take after seeing the video?

That I couldn't tell, I'd be shocked if it didn't. It's a consistent Canon thing now.

I'm actually not sure where this camera fits in at the moment.

What's not clear exactly there? There's a grip on the RP. So this camera has the same grip.
I hope it doesn't mean Canon re-uses the grips from disassembled RPs. It's just the grip has the same form.

The 5Ds can be set for FF, 1.3x crop and 1.6x crop. Is there any word about whether the R5 has the same capability? Also, is the R5 actually capable of 20FPS at 45MP? That's a lot of pixels/second, more than double the 1Dx3 rate!!

If it really is called R6, it's probably a continuation of 6D line?

So, moving past the whingeing about CR Guy not breaking confidence with his sources (which of course he shouldn't do), the biggest news I read was that IBIS works great! I think that's well worth a thread, and keep that sort of news coming! And it sounds more and more like the R6 will be the go-forward entry-level FFM, taking over from the RP (ie hard to see a RP ii coming).

You and me both...

The camera also has a much more rounded shape

Take my money! NOW! I hate edgy bodies.
I'm missing those curves already

I know exactly what you mean, I use handstraps on all my bodies and those edges just cut.

They already have the best sensors in APS-c cameras(M6mk2 and 90d) and from the sounds of things the idx3 is as good as anything in the FF market. So it is quite clear that DR is not an issue(it never was really, not for anyone other than spec warriors). But yes on the EVF issue. Having said that there is not an EVF on the market that has satisfied me yet
