Potential Canon EOS R Mark II specifications [CR1]

[davidhfe]

Three thoughts
- That quality of an EVF is into Leica territory.
- Even if that 12fps has a few asterisks, it'd still be great to see
- I hate the mismatched cardslots on my 5D4, but given the current price of CFe I don't see a way around it.

Anyways, this'd be a solid 5D4 upgrade for those who want to ditch the OVF

IBIS should finally be there, crucial function for proper work with that fantastic new prime lenses, at this stage of time, EF 85mm 1.4 still overperform more expensive RF 85 1.2 in real world usage.

Having owned both those 85’s I couldn’t disagree more I dislike the 85 L IS so much it’s getting me angry just thinking about it, lol.

 

[MadScotsman]

Quite nice.

but yet no "yeah" moment.

And single card slot makes me say "ME!"

I'm personally a little dissapointed that they've (apparently) caved to the card slot cry-bullies. But. I understand why they thought they had to.

... needs a good bunch of small pancake lens and primes...

I get the pancake attraction, but I think I'd rather have a 'small' f/2 IS than a 'tiny' f/2.8 non-IS. The RF 35 f/1.8 is about ideal, seems to me.

And pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease: an JOYSTICK

 

[csibra]

So, you are a BSI fetishist, are you?

No, I'm a dynamic range fetishist.

This wouldn't tempt me away from my current EOS R.

Instead, I'll hold out for the 5D5.

Really looking forward to this camera
My 7d mark 2 will need replacement soon and I am excited to make the mirrorless plunge

I don't know RF version, but only slightly better T-stop, if so some, does not makeup to excellent IS in EF, I fell so confident to catch 1/15sec most of the time, almost no way doing so without image stabilization.

Hands up who read down the list, got to "1 Sd Card slot" and thought, 'oh no, what a disappointment!'

1 SD and 1 CF Express... so two slots.

I must ask, do you own both lenses?

 

[Ozarker]

I see a second body in my future.

"1 SD card slot & 1 CFexpress slot"

So CFast 2.0 is completely dead now yes ? Only one camera of Canon got it ? Yey!
CF is also dead then :S..

Specs are looking great! But would prefere maybe 36MPs to have a little bit more like just a smull push 30->32MP.

Lets hope the 5D V will have the same stuff

 

[Gino_FOTO]

I must ask, do you own both lenses?

I don't need to, using RF 85mm is exact equal to EF 85mm with IS turn off. (in real world usage)

Hands up who read down the list, got to "1 Sd Card slot" and thought, 'oh no, what a disappointment!'

I'm just happy to see two cards! I didn't buy the first version because it only had a single card slot.

 

[ronno]

1 to 2 stops more dynamic range and I’m in.
Meanwhile I am adding a Sony a7R3 to my Canon gear tomorrow - the extra DR makes a difference for my work. That plus the 2 slots, IBIS, AF...

 

[richperson]

12 FPS; not bad but I'm wondering what's left with servo tracking?
Also, how much better is the EVF for fast action photography because the one in the EOS-R is not quite there?

my thoughts too. Current R feels like 3fps in servo. I would take 8 fps or better in servo.

 

[Viggo]

I don't need to, using RF 85mm is exact equal to EF 85mm with IS turn off. (in real world usage)

It reeeaaally isn’t though... the 85 IS is softer, much worse CA performance and much worse AF, it did not track anything like the RF85. And much sharper also . But each to their own, I just own(ed) both and to me there is no question the RF85 is better, even considering the high price.

 

[Sharlin]

No, I'm a dynamic range fetishist.

What if it's going to have BSI but retain roughly the DR of the R Mark I? What if it won't have BSI but will exceed the DR of the R Mark I? Or is it just going to be your confirmation bias in action, no matter what?

I'm personally a little dissapointed that they've (apparently) caved to the card slot cry-bullies. But. I understand why they thought they had to.

why? You need the CFexpress forimproved video and the SD slot is nice for backup jpegs or overflow and doesn’t take up hardly any space.
