Yes, in terms of actual lines per image height instead of in terms of how many pixels the same amount of blur is spread across.

There's a big difference between latency and readout speed.
One is about how long it takes the exposure to begin after the button is pressed.
The other has to do with how long it takes to read the sensor when there are no mechanical shutter curtains preventing light from striking the sensor during readout.
With mechanical shutters, it takes about 2.5-3 milliseconds for the shutter curtains to transit the sensor of top tier cameras like the 1D X series or 5D series. With lower tier cameras, it's closer to 3-4.5 milliseconds. The sensor has plenty of time to be read out between frames with a DSLR or even with a mirrorless when using the mechanical shutter by limiting the frame rate (which increases the amount of "dead time" between exposures). Even 16 fps allows 50-60 milliseconds for readout between exposures that only take 2.5-4.5 milliseconds every 62.5 milliseconds.
2.5-4.5 milliseconds for mechanical shutters to transit the sensor is still a lot faster than even 10 milliseconds or so that the fastest sensors can read out in electronic shutter mode.

So say all of the Sony fanboys that have never, ever, not even once taken a photo as good as many hundreds of thousands that have been taken by actual photographers using the 6D Mark II.

Or they could compromise on size/weight and use the newer, more powerful version of the LP-E6 that the R is getting which is also described by early rumors as "not the same battery as the 5D Mark IV."
We'll find out when they make the official announcement.

So which is it?
"a wedding photographers dream camera for reception,candies,etc... (with a) Centerpoint (that) is absolutely golden in low light focusing even though it doesn’t have the sophisticated focusing system of the 5DIV the Centerpoint is absolutely golden in low light focusing and is still very useful."
OR
A "... terminally crippled (-) camera with an APSC auto focus system, (and) shoddy sensor with poor dynamic range?"

That post was meant to be a joke. However, they are always quite serious about market segmentation, the LP-E6NH battery might be 'reserved' for the higher-class cameras.
Canon EOS R6 IBIS in action - Canon Rumors
When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here's how it works. I have now seen the video of the Canon EOS R6 IBIS in action, and it looks really smooth. The EOS R6 also appears to use the same type of grip as the Canon EOS RP. Other things […]
www.canonrumors.com
And this earlier reliable rumor (With a non-public video) also said grip like the RP, so they are definitely keeping it smaller, lighter and simpler.
So I wouldn't be surprised at all if they actually did something like that, since dual card slots won't leave that much room for a bigger battery, maybe the new version is regarding continous power via USB-C and charging at the same time, which previous cameras were unable to do.
Since I do think it is placed well below the R5, I think they are more likely to be sticking to their old guns regarding the dynamic range, and Canon Log or ALL-I codec would be very surprising for me to see as well, and for these features one would have to go for the R5 or the R instead. But we'll see.

Maybe its next generation R1 sensor.
I think if they really want to make this mirrorless work,they need use newest parts available.
They need get shooting viewvinder lag away with fast read sensor and best processor or two.
I hope viewfinder is new .Good thing it got less resolution than r5 one ,without R5 computers it would lag.
And they need best parts to minimize power consumption too.

You seem to be too much obsesed by the detail. Owning Tamron 17-50/2.8 for APS-C and 24-70/2.8 II for FF, we have never spotted any need to consider the factor of the detail. But shooting crowds at weddings you might be in a need to crop someones hand/head/body entering your image. With weddings, maybe apart from promo or ceremony shoots, things are happening fast, so sometimes you have little time for the proper composition. Stating that, I hate so called spraying and taking 10K+ images home.
For us, any chance to go down to something like 20 or even a tad lower would be very specialised, low light camera, giving 2+ stops of low light performance. But not sure it is easily achievable with the recent tech. Eagerly awaiting performance of the R5 in that regards too, compared to our 5DIV.

They don't have to, they only have to step up from the RP, which is the base of this camera. And it will certainly blow it away with the IBIS, dual card slots, quicker frame rates, improved AF and much better video specs.
But because they've added so much to the R5, once again, people are having false hopes about the R6.

What if it keeps the RP-style body but gets the 6D/6DII D-pad + wheel combo while keeping the two wheels at the top (one next to the shutter button and the other next to the mode dial)? i mean, still no joystick (save that for the higher models), but with the d-pad inside the scroll wheel which now can be customized. kinda like how the R5 got some of its control layout from the 5D series. i'm still not convinced this will get two UHS-II slots though. i know it's 2020, but this is Canon we're talking about (USB2.0 speeds on a USB-C port).

If you can get basically the same image when you shoot with a 26 MP sensor and a strong low pass filter as a 20 MP sensor and a more sophisticated low pass filter, the R6 is not a downgrade from the RP in terms of cropping capability.
The 1DX III low pass filter apparently is a great improvement over the notoriously strong ones Canon used in the past. Is the filter in the RP so strong that it degrades the image to the point where a 20 MP R6 with the new filter will match the amount of detail it captures? Probably not, but we'll have to wait and see the difference once proper comparisons can be made.

Well, Sony fanboys and Canon bashers have loved to trash the 6DII since it was a rumor because spec warriors can sneer at the autofocus, the dynamic range and the single card slot. On the other hand, a lot of people who use it seem to be very happy with it. It has been a poster child for the Canon cripple hammer crew, along with the M50, and some them still seem to be trapped in their old cyberspace reality on the 6DII. They seem to have shut up about the M50 a while ago.

Could you please take Mr. Clark and have some picnic somewhere? There is nothing more to suggest, if you are not able to freaking understand as simple thing as the ability to crop.

Nah, another blatant generalisation, so who's the fanboy then? I doubt you have talked to those mysterious hundreds of thousands of satisfied ppl - you have never met or talked to in person to even something like 0.001% of them. The eventual saless success might or might not be the only aspect of the judgement of the product quality itself.
6DII was simply a product development fiasco, no matter of its potential sales success. Canon's sensor decision for the 6DII was nothing more than a sad state of their sensor development capabilities at the certain time. You know that, I know that, we all know that. Within the certain conditions, you can take great pictures with a modern cell phone or really old photo gear. But that was absolutly not the point. After so many years of waiting (6 actually?), they have delivered camera with a sensor, which had worse low ISO DR than the APS-C 80D. Not to mention the missing ALL-I codec or headphone jack as another step back.
You can simply bet, that if Canon would have better sensor back then, 6DII would be basically equipped with the sensor generation planned for the 1DXIII, R5 or R6 - as the whole generation seems to share certain characteristics. It's no shame to admit, that Canon was simply behind its competition. Maybe even that simple fact has lead to the advancements we are going to get with the new generation of cameras.

Picnics aren't that great of an idea in these times
If talking theory annoys you, feel free to ignore it.The point is simply that in practical terms, 20 MP looks pretty bad on paper compared to 26 MP. But with an improvement in the low pass filter, it is at least less bad than 20 MP with the same old strong AA filter would be.
There’s simply more to cropping than megapixels. I think we can agree on that. If your image is slightly out of focus, for example, you can't crop it as much as a tack sharp image, before the blur becomes noticeable. A better low pass filter also adds a bit of blur, and the newer one should add less, if you will.
That does not prevent going from 26 to 20 MP being an odd choice. But it is also something to keep in mind when comparing specs, if Canon indeed uses the new filter on the R6. Nothing more and nothing less, apologies if that point came across in a bad way.

No, I should just not need more than 3 posts to explain, that if I want to crop, then I want to crop, without the eventual need to consider other aspect. It's just similar argument when guys were telling those requesting 4K video, what do they need it for, if they produce FHD content. For the sake of being able to crop.

++++ There is nothing more to suggest, if you are not able to freaking understand as simple thing as the ability to crop.
A.M.: the above statement of yours is an utmost rudeness in English.
I understand, that this may not be so in your native language.
If I were you, I would certainly consider apologising to forum members you have been disrespectful with (even if inadvertently).
