The Canon EOS R6 has shown up for certification under the name DS126831.
Canon EOS R6 Specifications: (New information in BOLD)
If you only care about video, why not just get the R5?
Totally agree hahahaha
Many Reasons:
It's a bit annoying, each time you want to connect to a camera via Wi-Fi, to turn it on, switch a phone to its network and start an app.
I highly doubt you'll see a great difference in battery life between these cameras. If anything, the R6 might be a bit worse as it seems to tend towards reusing older, less efficient hardware and standards to save on cost.
None of those are going to happen except perhaps 10-bit over HDMI. The R6 simply won’t be the video-oriented camera you hope it is.
If the R6 is using a slight variation of the 1DXIII sensor then it will definitely be pretty efficient and a low light monster. There is a reason why every low light version of a camera line (i.e. A7S, GH5S, etc) has a lower resolution sensor than their stills equivalents (larger photosites). One possibility is that it is reusing the 1DXII sensor which is still good enough for me. Other than those two sensors, Canon would have needed to create a new 20MP sensor for the R6 which would have been far costlier which is why I think it more likely it is from the 1DX line. Technically 12MP would have been even better.
The reality is that no one here knows that which is why it is a rumors site. To me 20MP only makes sense for a video oriented camera or something like the 1DXIII. So yea..I have my wish list and I consider it to be realistic. I am aware that I have the unpopular opinion that the R6 is a video oriented camera, but I'm ok with that, so far not a single released spec says otherwise; to the contrary the 20MP sensor supports my theory.
The dynamic range will be limited starting right from the (cheaper) sensor, so it won't have C-Log because there is no point in it and IPB codec only.

Apart from being able to shoot at similar frame rates as the 1DX III, this camera will be much more limited in comparison (considering it costs almost three times less with IBIS, this is hardly surprising) and the EOS R can remain as the cheapest camera to offer C-Log as well.
It is still going to have way more, than what they've used to offer in a 6D level camera and its pricing after a few months will be aggressive compared to what we've seen from Canon.
People have two more months to dream until the announcement, enjoy it while it lasts
Seems unlikely that Canon would put all your dream specs in the budget model.
The EOS R IMO was a placeholder that Canon can't replace fast enough so nothing to protect.The dynamic range will be limited starting right from the (cheaper) sensor, so it won't have C-Log because there is no point in it and IPB codec only.

It does until you think about the fact that Panasonic already has all of these features as does Sony and none of these features eat into R5 specs.
