Anxious to see the specification for EOS M2

Sd card will be inside the battery door like on the SL2 and other compact camera bodies. The grip extension is just for your pinky and to help with the larger rf lenses when mounted. I'm guessingIt's a well engineered extension grip (sarcasm). The real question is, why is there a picture of a SD card or battery on it?
Foveon: Foveon suffers from the fact that different wavelengths travel up to different depths into a silicon block. The deepest layer gets strongly attenuated light in that wavelength region. Hence you have different QEs for different colors which counteracts the great principle of evaluating three different wavelength (or color) channels.
CFA issues: CFA must NOT be changed to go from 100MP bayer image reconstrugtion to pixel binning of four R-G-G-B pixel quadruplets. NOT CHANGING THE CFA is the solution to sample ALL COLOR CHANNELS for ONE FINAL IMAGE PIXEL. Trying to do that in ASCII graphics (fixed font not worked, so used dots as spacers):
CAMERA in HIGH RESOLUTION MODE
100 MPixel bayer sensor read out to 100 MPixel Image = a lot of deriving non-existing per pixel data from RAW)
R . . . G . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . RGB . . . RGB
. . . . . . . . . = debayering =>
G . . . B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . RGB . . . RGB
CAMERA in HIGH COLOR QUALITY MODE + low light
100 MPixel bayer sensor read out to 25 MPixel IMAGE = getting measurement values from RAW
R . . . G . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . = binning => RGB
G . . . B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Switching the mode on site helps to reduce file size under certain circumstances while retaining qualities needed in these cases.
60D was a hybrid I hate to this date. Canon misstepped with this one. To that date, I considered xxD being a (semi)professinal line. 70D was a big improvement, a nice and consistent camera and imo it is not true, that it did not provide a sensor performance update. I remember something like 1/3 of stop at least, as well as 70D was the first camera ever, providing DPAF, so by all means, it as a new sensor.
More DR IS more realistic
More colors in between
Introducing a camera that has worse SNR at high ISO compared to a model that was released five years prior is indeed a step back. And this while competitors were making significant improvements in this area year after year. And questionable dynamic range at base ISO while competitors are breaking DR records with each new full frame sensor they release.
Now if Canon chooses to use the exact same 6D mk ii sensor on RP, that would be a "jump" back.
Of course, Canon can still put their marketing muscle behind this product and make it successful with attractive pricing, promotions and product placement throughout the retail channel. Once they have significant market share in the full frame mirrorless market and a respectable arsenal of RF lenses, they can bring out RF mount cameras with better sensors and features and drive the upgrade cycle.
no - and i really dont understand this. Are beginners and enthusiasts not hit by sensor dust ? Would they not identify large spots on their printed familiy images ? I think it is one of the innovations of the R that it solve's the dust issue much better than any other mirrorless - and they removed it immediately from the second camera of the R family. Just don't get it. (but included focus bracketing which i would like to have in my R)Does it have sensor protection too, like EOS R, when the lens is not connected to the body?
Jared seem to think it was because noobs tend to touch the sensor and it’s better to not have the shutter to tempt people poking in there ...no - and i really dont understand this.

Well I do, it is literally the price to pay for the lower price, simple differentiation that has always been a tool that they've used for many years. People will complain, but I really don't think they will change anything about the product other than potentially refining features that it came with, like eye-AF and stuff.no - and i really dont understand this.

Focus stacking is another feature they could add with a much later firmware to the EOS R (but I am not sure it can't be done more efficiently manually, it is just more convenient).
If the M50 is selling well with these same features, then I don't see why they wouldn't do the same thing here in exchange for a lower pricetag. To be honest, the 4k rolling shutter is an even bigger problem, so not many people will buy it for the 4k video anyway.There are certain features imo, which help to define a brand. In the case of Canon, it is DPAF and tilty-flippy. It could be this nice little feature, which could become another one. Some marketing honcho just apparently decided to think otherwise.
They could’ve easily made it a feature that was disabled by default.Jared seem to think it was because noobs tend to touch the sensor and it’s better to not have the shutter to tempt people poking in there ...
well i'm trying to say that the increased amount of dust on mirrorless camera's sensors is a problem and Canon had a nice idea how to solve that to some extend. It really is something special compared to the competition. The camera lacks a lot of things not only because it's entry level but because Canon does not have it (yet) - removing this clever mechanism to protect the sensor is in my eyes a bad decision. I'm not wondering that the RP does not have a lot of new things compared to the R and it's ok to reduce the shutter speed and the x - sync and dont provide a real battery grip and and ... but removing the sensor protection is simply a bad idea in my eyes. By the way, (side note) i've installed firmware 1.1 on my R and love the silent shutter in contiues shooting mode.Well I do, it is literally the price to pay for the lower price, simple differentiation that has always been a tool that they've used for many years.
