Canon EOS R6 Mark III & RF 45 F1.2 STM November 6
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
So: 34.2mp, €2900, the same LCD mechanism... More pixels, more money, same LCD mechanism, not much above my R6II... I'll keep it till a "new" R6IV. And still hoping for a politics change towards 3rd party AF lenses!!! That's why after 47 years of a Canon maniac I bought last month a Fujifilm X-E5 ! What a camera for a pocket and amazing playing in street photography, and not only! And lenses from "everywhere" (including my EF and... FD lenses!!!). Come on Canon...

Yes, it's certainly an oversight by Canon's engineers. Simple mode options like "All off", Lens IS, Sensor IS and Hybrid IS can't be that hard to engineer / code?
On a similar note, Canon could easily remove the mechanical shutter from the R6iii by simply taking away it's option in the menu. Leaving just the 1st curtain shutter and the EC. However, lt makes more sense with a camera like the R3 and R5ii with their stacked sensor to remove the mechanical shutter on those cameras first.

With unstabilized prime lenses (RF28, 50STM, 50VCM) I tend to get better results with the R8 than with my R5II when doing candids around the house. With other styles of photography and/or stabilized lenses, the R5II is significantly better.
The original R5 had a firmware update where Canon admitted that IBIS would always rotate the sensor when taking a picture, in anticipation of people rotating the camera when mashing the shutter button. So if you didn't mash the shutter, you'd still get motion blur! That firmware update alleviated that issue, but I'm not convinced it was totally fixed. 1/160s on a 28mm lens with electronic shutter shouldn't be an issue for an R5II, but it seems to be. I had always assumed it was an issue with how I hold the camera, but the R8 showed that that's not the complete truth
When IBIS is not detrimental, the R5II wins, easily.

Yeah, but if you're using a lens without IS, one could not turn it IBIS off.
I think it is in the menu, but I´d to go and check.

Nope, not more money. If 2.899 € (or 2900 €) is true the RRP is identical with the RRP of the mkii. How do people not get that? It has been pointed out several times now.

That was not it. It was purely a bug, not a feature. The R6 had the same issue.
The camera would rotate the sensor exclusively when taking a photograph after waking up from sleep. The first time we hit the shutter button, it would do that. If the camera didn't enter sleep, it wouldn't happen.
What about using EFCS or MS?
You can.
It is when you're using a lens with IS that the option is unavailable in the menu, and stabilisation is entirely controlled by the switch on the lens.

I'm not having ANY camera with dual slots with different card shape, either is double SD or is double CFE; there's no way I'm buying and bringing around different cards.CF Express cards are so cheap now you can easily keep a few spare ones in your bag though, also if it had a CF Express slot it would also have an SD card slot as Canon aren't going to give it dual CF slots so no downsides

Never 2499€. Even the original R6 was released at 2849€, and I know that very well because I waited for months for the first discounts.
I have an invoice of 2649€, early in 2021, for body only, after said discount.

The R6 Mark II, if I remember correctly, was released at 3049€ body only.

In Europe, the RRP for the original R6 was 2.630 € and mkii had a RRP of 2.899 €. You can actually look it up on the web.

Because you do not have a clue about Europe and the state of the economy: France has a debt of 116% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (almost twice the EU norm of 60%), the UK 103% of the GDP. Germany 64% of the GDP. The USA ratio is 125%, forecasted to rise to 143% by 2030.

I like to add that it's important to be specific when mentioning prices. In Europe, different prices apply for different countries. This also applies to the launch of these products. For example, the launch price for the R6 Mark II in the Netherlands was €2929. This includes 21% VAT. Other countries have a different VAT rate. And even without the VAT prices were/are different. Therefore, it's a mistake to use or quote a single RRP price for European countries. Because there isn't one.

But not €2499, never.
Absolutely, but not differences like €2499. I wish it were...

Has anyone actually investigated cheap cfe cards? Under usd40 for 128gb fromHe doesn’t have to, he doesn’t even have to own the camera.
I am the target user for the R6 series and I use v30 SD cards because I can and because they’re enough for my needs.
Free will, you know?
It’s a wrong assumption to think that everyone is buying the fastest memory cards a camera can take. Not everyone is doing video, not everyone is shooting in bursts. The R6 has buffer for over a hundred photographs, and I’d be working the same way if it had half of that, as I’m not burst shooting.
I’d get pissed if they converted the R6 series to using two different memory cards, one being at 10 times the price.
I own several pairs of memory cards, that would increase the price of the camera to me by 10 to 20% right away, in order to keep working the same way. That’s just crazy for this price point.
Amazon.com for slower cards
I just don’t get the fud about sd vs cfe cards and cost anymore
It was definitely different ~6 years ago when my R5 was released but things have changed now

I'd be wary of buying cards from anyone but proper camera stores as there's a lot of counterfeit cards floating around and when you can buy a decent card from B&H for USD $68 why take the risk? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...e_128g_ancnn_128gb_extreme_pro_cfexpress.html
