That doesn’t really make sense. What will the update to the R5 be called? They’re going to run out of single-digit numbers fairly quickly, and if a future R5 successor has a double-digit number, that contravenes the convention for both DSLR and EOS M naming. I don’t think Canon is that shortsighted.R Mark II does not make sense as far as naming goes. Probably any RF camera from now on will have a number, as R7, R8, etc
Entry level, I bet. The white versions of the M-series are popular in Japan, so I suspect black and white versions of the new entry-level sub-$1K EOS R.Maybe it is a high MP. One with a low pass filter and one with out. Then again it could be a replacement for the RP and the second one has the IR filter removed for astro.
Not really. This is a tool. Tools usually get better or easier to use as technology advances.There has been plenty information from the gitgo about the R6, if you bought it for video work you didn't do your homework. Like complaining a Ford Pinto is a horrible NASCAR vehicle.
Fine, a Ford Bronco. The 2021 model is a lot more technologically advanced than the 1965 model, but would still make a horrible NASCAR vehicle.Not really. This is a tool. Tools usually get better or easier to use as technology advances.
Terrible comparison my guy.
It will have a different model name, but Canon can't afford to abandon the lower end FF mirrorless market.Canon has made it very clear in C Suite interviews that there will be no Mk ll of the R or RP
You’re right. My point wasn’t the name but the style of the camera. Something under R6. I’m just worried that the R6 is a precedent for top LCD being for cameras over 3000 $ :/R Mark II does not make sense as far as naming goes. Probably any RF camera from now on will have a number, as R7, R8, etc
Why? A top LCD may look stylish and modern, but a traditional mode dial is much more intuitive to use, for me at least.You’re right. My point wasn’t the name but the style of the camera. Something under R6. I’m just worried that the R6 is a precedent for top LCD being for cameras over 3000 $ :/
I don’t think so.R Mark II does not make sense as far as naming goes. Probably any RF camera from now on will have a number, as R7, R8, etc
I don't think that's what he means. I think he means an R replacement would have a number, as would an RP replacement. Of course there will be Mark II, Mark III, etc. of R5, R6 and R3 (Unless they drop the model altogether).That doesn’t really make sense. What will the update to the R5 be called?

Thanks, that makes more sense.I don't think that's what he means. I think he means an R replacement would have a number, as would an RP replacement. Of course there will be Mark II, Mark III, etc. of R5, R6 and R3 (Unless they drop the model altogether).
I wasn´t asking for a successor of the R because of my "needs". To me it's just obvious that in Canons lineup there would be a huge hole if there'd be no successor of the R and no camera lined up in between the RP and the R6.It’s probably more relevant to discuss the “needs” of the manufacturer, i.e what is missing from their range that would be in sufficiently high demand to make it a profitable line.
My opinion is that Canon, having produced the R6, probably don’t perceive there being a great demand for an R Mkii.
On the other hand, they need a market leading and very affordable starter camera (i.e. a successor to the RP) to entice people into the Canon system. Brand loyalty is a major driver of future sales, and Canon know that once they’ve got someone hooked, they’ll likely stay with them for several years.
When it comes to the “needs” and desires of enthusiasts as opposed to beginners, I think there’s probably far more demand for a crop sensor RF body, than there is for an R replacement. YMMV.
Those cameras will surely be released one day, but as long as they are building their line-up in order to provide people with more (camera) options R7 through R10 will be viable options for their naming scheme.I don’t think so.
The next iteration of Canon cameras will be R3 Mkii, R5 Mkii, R6 Mkii etc.
I think you areI don’t have the sales figures to prove it, but my impression is that ultra high MP cameras are a niche market, and not hugely important in terms of sales. They exist primarily to demonstrate the manufacturer’s capability and technical prowess.
Sure, they’ll be bought by a few landscape and architectural photographers, and by some wildlife photographers etc who believe that heavy cropping is better and more affordable than using big whites for distant subjects.
But I sense a turning in the tide. 100+MP is seen as too big a jump by many people who don’t want to also invest in a high end gaming computer to process the images, and who will rarely, if ever, have a genuine need for such high resolution.
Do you honestly believe that a 100MP camera is needed for your landscape photography? How large do you make your prints, and how close to them are your eyes when you look at them?
It seems to me that buying a 100MP camera is a bit like buying a 200mph Ferrari that never gets driven at more than half that speed.
I don’t think so.
The next iteration of Canon cameras will be R3 Mkii, R5 Mkii, R6 Mkii etc.
