A One stop of improvement at high (Over 6400) ISO over R sensor is a pipe dream. That’s would be just crazy.May be a bit better, but for high ISO he clearly uses the jpegs, we're yet to see the raw files to analyse the DR and high ISO.

The dynamic range is a full stop better (or at least two stops better compared to the 5DsR), basically very close to the Sony (but it's not a Sony) and the resolution is higher as well.The 5D4 and R are more than capable for landscape. Why would one upgrade from these cameras to the R6 and R5 just for landscape? The R5 is over kill for such use case. There are much cheaper options readily available if they need more resulotion.
Yeah I pre-ordered the R5 and I shoot mainly landscapes. I upgraded for the all reasons you point out plus I like to print really large prints on Aluminum or acrylic.The dynamic range is a full stop better (or at least two stops better compared to the 5DsR), basically very close to the Sony (but it's not a Sony) and the resolution is higher as well.
So yes,very much an upgrade for landscape photography.
What about cityscape photography? Handheld 2 seconds exposure with the IBIS, no problem (probably quite a bit better than Sony). Huge difference, could be great for shooting waterfalls as well.
But of course you know everyone else's mind better and they are stupid to upgrade to the R5 unless they shoot 12fps all day, so I'll stop here.
Where is this forum, and how do I access it? FYI: I am currently not a Canon owner. But I have ordered the R5 and RF 100-500 f4.5-7.1 L IS lens at B&H so I will be a Canon owner soon. I have copied my request in a post to the new CanonRumors thread that started today about firmware updates.Canon has repeatedly said that they are listening to feedback, and planning on adding new functionality via firmware. This request is a bit buried in the thread, so they may never find it!
I am not sure what official channels there are too get feedback to Canon, but you may want to try responding to one of their YouTube videos or social media pages with this request?
Or we could create a dedicated thread for feature requests that is less "discussion" oriented and in a nice organized list for Canon to evaluate?
Edit: I created a thread for users to add their feature requests in the forum: "Dear Canon... R5 and R6 Firmware Upgrade and Feature Requests".
Those two zooms are the ones I am planning to get as well, if I sell the 28-70/2 and 24-105/4.Yeah I pre-ordered the R5 and I shoot mainly landscapes. I upgraded for the all reasons you point out plus I like to print really large prints on Aluminum or acrylic.
Besides after the $2800 cdn I got for my EOS R kit the cost to me of $3200 is awesome. The RF 24-105 had not been on the R since I got the RF 70-200 and the RF 15-35. My RF 35 lives on my RP now but I am looking forward to be able to balance it on my Ronin SC and the R5 and not have a crop in 4k for "macro" product shots.
Maybe a stupid question but why would you film long interviews at 8K?
The data volume is quite intense: ~1TB per hour of video per camera.
For now, I could see 8K mostly in cinematographic workflow where people film scenes of a few min at a time.
That 28-70 has been in and out of my cart so many times. If the IBIS is a good as it seems I think I will finally pull the trigger.Those two zooms are the ones I am planning to get as well, if I sell the 28-70/2 and 24-105/4.
No, you have to focus on the starting distance (which is difficult), the right step size (which is a guess), and the number of steps to do (which is a guess). And you can only hope that the bracket ends at a good spot. It's extremely frustrating! That's why I want to have the added option to focus on the middle of the bracket (eg. using eye AF or manual focus for the eye of a bug) and have that be the middle of the bracket. Then no matter what step size and #steps I choose, it will always get that eye in focus in the middle of the bracket. This seems so obvious, it's amazing that it's not already the way that it's implemented.That's interesting. I thought focus bracketing (at least in theory) is done to get everything in focus. So the automatic bracketing should know the DoF for the given focal length, aperture and starting focusing distance and correctly estimate the required steps.

I have said multiple times that I have no doubt how good both R6 and R5.
I know the R5 is as sharp or sharper then the 5DS camera. But where did you see that it's 50% better than the 5D4?
Not sure about you but most if not all landscape photographers that I know almost always use tripod for their landscape shoot.
OK - I saw how you organized it, and edited it into succinct suggestions. It looks good. It was kind of sad to read there that Canon really doesn't look at these threads, as that kind of "takes the wind out of my sails" since I had hoped they would. I guess it's easy to say you listen to your customers, but a lot harder to actually do it. But I guess one can only hope that things can be seen and that they get even better.Hi,
I just created the thread here on Canon Rumors. If anyone knows how to then get this consolidated information over to Canon, and the thread actually contains valuable suggestions, I am sure they will do so. I added your idea to the list of sample ideas, but feel free to elaborate (I was not taking credit for any of the ideas, just consolidating in one place).

I am greatly looking forward to using the R5 and 100-500!

I work for a large company and I can tell you 100% these kinds of threads are looked at for sure, acted upon is another story. Put it this way free consumer feedback is a gift of the social media age that successful companies leverage for sure. All the Product Managers I work with are always hiding in the wings of forums, twitter, Facebook etc...OK - I saw how you organized it, and edited it into succinct suggestions. It looks good.

I've often thought about this lens (and the future? 70-135 f2). But I worry that it's so big & heavy that I wouldn't want to use it after all, or that it might scare other people. Does that worry you?I'm trying to find good deal on it.
Not sure if it's been posted, but just noticed the expected availability date for the 100-500mm now reads October 1 on B&H's site. I was hoping for an early September date, but looks like we might not even get it in that month. Guess I'll have to be patient, but a 2 month wait between the R5 and getting the lens I desperately need will be rough
Edit: Looks like Amazon has September 30th.
It amazing with the EOS R already. I simply can't afford to keep it if I get the other two.That 28-70 has been in and out of my cart so many times. If the IBIS is a good as it seems I think I will finally pull the trigger.
I do not own the 28-70 but I have used the Lens a few times and it is BIG. I actually like as heavy of a Camera bag as I can carry so the weight does not bother me at all so I cannot really speak to that.I've often thought about this lens (and the future? 70-135 f2). But I worry that it's so big & heavy that I wouldn't want to use it after all, or that it might scare other people. Does that worry you?
Maybe I just need to see if I can find one to hold so I could better consider it. I happen to be retired with a budget to indulge my camera hobby, so cost is not the issue - I just want to make sure I use it after the thrill of buying it wears off.
All we can do is try! If Canon does decide to act on our feedback, we will be ready with lots of ideas to make these cameras even more special!I work for a large company and I can tell you 100% these kinds of threads are looked at for sure, acted upon is another story.
