Worse still in the UK, as we say over here "hard cheddar". Exchange rate equivalent is ~€3200, the usual mark up of about 10% by Canon EU. So, unless we are desperate wait until the grey market reliable sellers have it, usually 20-30% below UK list price.

This is what I also do in France, I've learned wait for grey market offers.
I paid a high price for my first R5 II, convinced that I'd have to wait half a year to get it, and jumped on a so-called cancelled order. 2 weeks later, I could have bought it for far less from a grey market seller.

Seems like the pre-capture has been fixed and AF is a bit better. Sensor performance is probably going to be argued about on forums like these for awhile (seems a bit noisier than the R6m2, but increase resolution, etc).

I've been shooting with an R8 for the last two years and love it, but pre-capture, IBIS, and option to use CF cards for extra speed would all be nice upgrades. For $1000 more, I could get an R5, but I don't see the value for my use cases. R1 is out of my price range and is more camera than I can use; I don't see any logical reason to buy an R3 (even used ones are ~$3500) given its age.

So, yea, I think I might go ahead and just pre-order this one. The R8 can drop back to being a secondary camera: I've frequently wished that I had two cameras to shoot with at events instead of swapping lenses.

Sounds like a nice upgrade from the R8! How many batteries do you go through in the R8 for a typical wedding?

Yeah, *** is cool. I like the map in lightroom... fun to poke around for some memories.

Hello!
I am a naturalist, and part of my job involves conducting inventories and monitoring nature. This often requires detailed photographic documentation (a smartphone is not sufficient) of habitats and/or plant and animal species. In the days of DSLRs (7DII, then 5DIV), built-in *** was essential. Unfortunately, in the days of the R series (and earlier M series), this is no longer the case. The connection to a smartphone is unstable and not always reliable. I do have a Canon *** receiver, but I don't attach it to my cameras (currently R6II and R8) because it significantly affects their portability. Ultimately, I use it in logger mode and do the geotagging from my computer.
I was quietly hoping for built-in *** in cameras that are advertised as being designed for sports and wildlife photography.
Of course, there is the R1. But... there are a lot of buts :):
- too big for me (I don't have the biggest hands)
- too heavy and not very handy for many hours of exploring the terrain
- I usually use two cameras (R6 with a telephoto lens, R8 with a macro or 24-70).
Well, let's enjoy what we have.

PS. As for the R6III - its specs look pretty good at first glance. I was hoping for a larger EVF and I feel a little disappointed here. And I'm curious to see how the improved autofocus will perform in comparison to, for example, the R5II, in field conditions. (Will the lack of an accelerator be significant?).

I think there will be a noticeable autofocus difference between the R52 and R63 in certain situations. One the Accelerator as mentioned and readout speed from the stacked sensor.

Full transparency: I don't usually do weddings as there are an absolute ton of wedding-focused photographers in my area and, honestly, they are really good at what they do. But, if I were to shoot a wedding with just the R8, knowing the battery life I get, I'd probably want at least 4 batteries. I currently only have 3 and my first one only holds about 30% capacity... not sure what happened to it as I am pretty careful about my electronics, but it's barely worth charging up these days.

R6 with new stop-motion firmware features gets you everything as before but also the 4 new features below as cut from Canon's site

New Features​

  • Focus Position Memory enabled on all EOS RF Lenses

  • The Focus Position Memory feature allows for accurate manual focus of a subject. via computer control with Dragonframe software*.
  • Set the Aperture Value via “Aperture Lock” function with Dragonframe software*.
  • Toggle HDMI on and off VIA the camera's menu.
    (EOS R5, EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R8 and EOS R100 only)
This means no FIZ motors needed, the camera itself can do it.

cool I guess, unless you already have fiz motors or still have axis control ports

Rolling shutter rate is about 13.5ms at 12-bit color. Only slightly better than the, what, 14.5 from the mark ii?
Just think, in 3 more years it'll get knocked down 1 more millisecond.
The slow march of progress.

Seriously: Why? I might be ignorant, but I have never needed to know where exactly a pic was taken. I usually know when I look at it. But maybe I am missing the point of *** data in my files.

While there might be a use case for *** for some people the guy clearly has no idea how big of a battery hog *** is.

R6 III DR

Initial measurement: with RAWDigger (which does not support the R6III fully yet), on the masked area, read noise, G, from 1.06 to 1.20 in RAW values. It varies a quite a bit depending on where I sample, and the quantization error (14 bit) becomes a factor, as well. Converted to stops, ~13.75 -...

same.
I want *** in the next camera I buy, and until such a camera is available I'll stick with my 5D4. This is a natural way to put my GAS on hold because I also can't buy any new lenses, so I need to deal with what I already have.

Buy an r3 or r1. Z9 too. The smaller bodies are never getting it until battery tech takes a big leap.
