Typical. I just bought an R5 Over the summer. ughhh

I would be surprised if Topaz & co don't have identical source code compiled for the different platforms, producing different results. As for speed, I haven't seen tests running on similar* hardware, so I don't know.Seriously, my old MacBook with an Intel processor was really slow with the new Topaz and other software but my MacBook Air with an M2 is blisteringly fast, and I haven't a clue how fast PCs are.
When you line skip, the still files end up having a weird aspect ratio ie 3:1 vs 3:2 so you need to drop/bin alternative horizontal pixels as well to bring it back to 3:2. Similar process for video formats.
Great choice, nothing to regret! It'll be another year before the successor hits the stores, and another 6 months after that if you wait for firmware to fix the inevitable early bugs. And it'll cost 20% more than the R5, and most likely the additional features will be ones that you don't really need anyway. Enjoy your R5.Typical. I just bought an R5 Over the summer. ughhh
I guess I don't get it.Yes, I meant bracketing, not compositing, sorry for the confusion. The R3, R7, R10 and R6II can do in-camera compositing to give you a ready-to-print JPEG. The RP, R5, R6 and M6II can only do the bracketing. And as @neuroanatomist pointed out in a differend thread: the R3 can actually use flash in that mode, all the others can't since it's electronic shutter only and their readout speed is too slow to capture the flash.
How else am I supposed to get it up on my Insta, like, right away?But for real images....why?
If your camera can stack those raws as a part of its embedded raw processing functionality, you can post your mushroom pictures to the CR mushrooms thread straight from the forest, provided that you have LTE signal there.But for real images....why?
In my case, my computer died a couple of years ago and I can't afford to (or at least justify the expense of) replac(e/ing) it. From what I can tell, there are no focus stacking/depth compositing apps for mobile, so it would help me a lot if the camera could do it for me.I guess I don't get it.
We have these great cameras and sensors....combined with state of the art lenses.
Why is anyone ever doing any workflow less than RAW? Why on earth would you want the camera to focus stack and prepare a jpg of a picture you take....rather than import the files to your "developing" app of choice where you can do RAW manipulations before you stack them and have a superior image result?
I suppose I can understand some pro workflow that has to get say, sports images in quick....to quick publish, but likely those are only going to be published to low end resolution views like social media, newspapers or online equivalent...
But for real images....why?

60mp @3:2 aspect will be ~9600x6400.This is what I was thinking about when I started this discussion.
So forgive my lazy maths, but what would the resulting resolutions be, with line skipping and binning of alternate horizontal pixels to keep the same aspect ratio, on a 61MP sensor (or on a 90MP sensor, which is what I personally think the R5ii/R5s will have?
And my understanding is that this has to happen at the conclusion of the readout, so do you think it's feasible for (slow) burst shooting, or only for single shot, if at all?
Standard 8k video (DCI/UHD) would need to be cropped (~800 horizontal pixels) with field of view change or oversampled from the full sensor widthSo if this is a 61MP camera, by my reckoning that'd be about 9600 pixels across. So I guess that means that 8K would be cropped or subject to either binning or oversampling?
10k video is 10240 × 4320 (~21:9 aspect) which would need ~70mp sensor @3:2 aspectOr would they maybe go with 10K, which would match the 9600-pixels-across spec?
Yes, cropping (field of view change) could output a 8k raw video which is 1:1 ie no oversamplingAnd I'd guess that if it does offer 8K raw output, that would necessarily involve a modest crop to get to a 1:1 pixel readout?
Yep, I got the A7Rv and A1 mixed up. Canon choose the sweet spot for R5 for DCI 8k video with no crop or oversampling needed for 8k with its 45mp sensor. Oversampling from 8k to 4k should also be less processor intensive than an "odd" number as far as I knowAlso, I think the A1 is 50MP, and it's advertised as oversampling 8K footage from an 8.6K readout. The A7RV is the 61MP Sony body, and glancing at their marketing materials they don't say what they do on that camera for 8K (I gave up on trying to stay abreast of Sony specs long ago).
Small side note on that: With a recent firmware and an Atomos V+ you can record PRoRES RAW at 8k30 over HDMI. Not real RAW or RAW-lite, but better-than-HEVC[...]Note that the A1 does not output 8k raw. Only the R5 can do this and only internally due to not including a port with high enough bandwidth.

I can NOT imagine taking a 1 MP file (8x) and upscaling it to 61 MP and have even O image quality...I understand the cropped image upscaled to fill the viewfinder. Upscale the jpg written to the memory card? Pointless. Even if its as good as post processing on a PC, why waste battery?
Yes, Canon added a compressed version that can be sent externally via the HDMI 2.0 port.Small side note on that: With a recent firmware and an Atomos V+ you can record PRoRES RAW at 8k30 over HDMI. Not real RAW or RAW-lite, but better-than-HEVC
The R5 had a pre-order price of ~AUD6.4k 2.5 years ago (with spare battery/strap and tiny SD card) and sold pretty well for a long time.Some pretty impressive specs. Would make it a pretty unaffordable camera in Australia unfortunately.it would be up there with a 1dx3
The current discounted UK price for the R5 converts into AUD 7161, that's a 40% mark up on the Aussie price. We can get it for 5100 AUD from a good HK grey market importer. If Canon does the same to us with an R5 II, I'll join @entoman and wait til available on the grey market.The R5 had a pre-order price of ~AUD6.4k 2.5 years ago (with spare battery/strap and tiny SD card) and sold pretty well for a long time.
Pricing was down to about AUD5.1k over last weekend.
The AUD:USD has bounced around a lot since then but is currently the same as June 2020 so perhaps the pricing is based on the AUD:JPY rate where we have appreciated ~25% since launch date.
1DXiii is closer to AUD10k including bundled 512GB card+reader.
R3 is ~AUD7.5k
I would assume that a R5ii would be similar to the launch price of the R5. Affordability is a whole different question!

Possibly. But those specs(if they are legit) certainly put it at quite a higher level than the original. Based on the specs alone I would say it is 500 us dollars more of a camera which in Australia would be 1k more at least given how much we tend to get screwed at the cash register. Maybe closer to r3 territory that 1dx2 territory. Then. Although having said that the r62 did not see a massive increase despite a fair increase in specs so we can only hope the r52 goes in the same direction. Tbh though for me it is more of a pure speculation issue as I am not currently in need of updating anywayThe R5 had a pre-order price of ~AUD6.4k 2.5 years ago (with spare battery/strap and tiny SD card) and sold pretty well for a long time.
