Turns out it is in fact an R6 mkii and not a $2500 R3. No surprises here. Will buy one provided the low light performance remains on par with mki.

Bryan/TDP lists one 6DII spec as, "Digital 2x and 4x extender (JPG support only)," and under 'additional features' his preview lists, "The EOS R6 II features a Digital tele-conv menu option, with 2x or 4x settings available (for JPG images only)." No idea if that means crop and upscale or just crop.Just curious, what happened to the digital zoom that CR Guy claimed the camera would have? Did I miss that?
There is a digital zoom in 1080p video. One of the reviews shows it. I think d-previewJust curious, what happened to the digital zoom that CR Guy claimed the camera would have? Did I miss that?
5 year warranty... has IS and is not made by a Chinese lens cloner. Yep DOA for sure.
There’s clearly more than firmware here. Imo, there are enough hardware and firmware upgrades to justify keeping it the same price. If Canon had added everything people seem to have wanted that would have probably justified a price increase. Also, the R6I has now been discounted $200 if you still prefer the original and want to pick it up as a cheaper option.All firmware. Any downloadable firmware update would have satisfied an R6 upgrade. Its a total waste of money. Not worth $1500 let alone $2500 + tax
Thanks.Bryan/TDP lists one 6DII spec as, "Digital 2x and 4x extender (JPG support only)," and under 'additional features' his preview lists, "The EOS R6 II features a Digital tele-conv menu option, with 2x or 4x settings available (for JPG images only)."

Edit: images are cropped 2x or 4x then upscaled to 24 MP. From Canon:
Digital teleconverter: One-touch extra reach
Note the footnote: The image quality will be reduced because the image is enlarged and recorded. JPEG shooting only. The AF frame is fixed at the centre point.
The R3 does.Why is it none of Canon’s mirrorless cameras have built-in GPS support when the 5D Mark IV and 7D Mark II both had it?
Ok but what does “overheat control (in movie recording) - YES” mean in the spec sheet.
This is confusing to me.
It says you can record 6 hours in 4K 30fps
So does that mean it won’t shut down after a little while asking you to let the camera cool down?
Yeah, just on the flagship camera now.The R3 does.
Ironic. I strongly prefer the integrated grip (I put accessory grips on my T1i/500D, 7D and 5DII before getting the 1D X), and I have no real use for built-in GPS.Yeah, just on the flagship camera now.
Never personally been a fan of the big 1D-type camera bodies (even if the R3 is marginally smaller).
I was ready to upgrade from the EOS R ( R5 )when the RF 100 macro came.So, it seems I'll have to wait for more detailed info about and tests of that new (old tech? - whatever) sensor.
German pricing of about 2,9 k € (incl. VAT) are not inspiring, too.
My guts tell me, it'll take some more time and more tempting offers to draw me into the R system.
I'm glad to give my 5D4 a few more actuations
Thanks. Intriguing. I look forward to seeing examples compared to enlargements done with external software. I guess modern computing could make it slightly better than old fashioned digital zoom, but I won't hold my breath.Bryan/TDP lists one 6DII spec as, "Digital 2x and 4x extender (JPG support only)," and under 'additional features' his preview lists, "The EOS R6 II features a Digital tele-conv menu option, with 2x or 4x settings available (for JPG images only)."
