    2. Pricing did not get rediculous at the R6 II. 2899€ is in the region of some (better equipped) of it´s competitors.
      I´m sorry to hear that US$ to € ration is good on the R6 (1:1,16) which includes our taxes, but definitively worser on the 135mm RF L (1:1,28). It is almost 1150€ more expensive than the GM from Sony.
      The Combo body&135mm is 4100€ for Sony (7AIV&135mm GM) and 5600€ for R6 II & RF 135mm... o_O

      I am still hoping an better US$ exchange rate for R5 II and R1. I Know, I know: Hope is the last to die! :giggle:
    4. I preordered an EL-5, which looks like a 600EX but with the new shoe and a rechargeable battery like the EL-1.

      Long wait, but it’s not like my current set of four 600’s can’t get the job done.
      I'm sticking with my 470 AI, mostly because I like the head moving around like magic.
    6. Since there is mark II, they could change to improve HDMI C mini instead of HDMI D micro.
      Still, when connecting an HDMI cable, you cannot record to cards only to an external device. There is no such thing in Sony. During transmission, I connect the HDMI to SDI converter and record it in the camera as a copy. Here it is impossible for me to fail.
    11. The rumor was cropped 4k60. B&H makes it sound like 4k60 is full width but not oversampled. DPReview is repeatedly saying that the 4k60 is oversampled from 6k. It's obvious the rumor was wrong, but I wonder if it's really oversampled at 60p?

      Canon says:
      • 6K oversampled uncropped 4K movie at up to 60 fps
    14. Hello,

      The price for the Canon EOS R6 Mark II with the RF 24-105mm at Camera Canada is most definitely wrong: it can't be 2849$, it should be around 4629$ instead.
      The price and link are for the 135L.
    15. Does the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM actually retail that low? It's just $300 extra in a kit. I don't know how many people want this lens with an R6ii, but $300 is a pretty serious value for that lens, much cheaper than the EF version of the lens ever got, AFAIK.
    17. Wow Canon Australia is really price gouging down under. Up until last week, the price differential between a Canon EOS R6 (original) body only and EOS R6 (original) body kit bundled with RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM was AUD$1,500 yet now the price difference between EOS R6 Mark II body only and EOS R6 Mark II body kit bundled with RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is AUD$1,900 ergo a $400 jump between original and Mark II kit with the same lens. The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM on it's own is AUD$1,999 and has been so for some time so there used to be a 500 buck saving on the lens buying as a kit, now it's only a 100 bucks saving... that to me is a blatant ripoff. I like the new body and when I heard the Mark II was coming I was hoping it would have the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM bundled for the same extra AUD$1,500 which is the same price as the SIGMA equivalent but if the kit now throws a 400 buck penalty, if I get a R6 Mark II I'll probably only buy the body and get the excellent SIGMA 24-105mm F4 instead of the Canon and pocket the 400 bucks. Ball's in your court Canon.
    18. Admittedly I haven't read through all the online releases & reviews for the R6 mkII...
      But I would like to know if anyone has knowledge about the Silent Shutter and some of its specs and functions...

      • Are there any slower frame rates than 40 FPS or is just Single Shot & 40 FPS?
      • Is there an audio "Click" sound as in the R3 - I find that to be very reassuring when firing off bursts

      There probably isn't an online manual up somewhere yet is there :unsure:

      UPDATE:
      After doing a bit more digging I answered my own questions.
      • Electronic Shutter has 3 high speed modes. 40, 20, & 5 FPS
      • Sadly no audio click (not a deal killer, but a nice option to have)

      The again I'm still waiting for Exposure Simulation (for stills) to include a Zebra pattern for over exposure - If they can do it for video why not for stills?

      Kai Wong’s preview shows the R6 ii having a ‘drum machine sound’ in electronic shutter mode which sounds a lot like the R3’s … check here around 4:25!

      Having a slower frame rate for electronic shutter is a very nice feature, I’m not a huge fan of R5/6 having only 20fps or single shooting!
