Canon EOS R1 & Canon EOS R5 Mark II announcement coming July 17

#3
I followed recent discussions and it seems I'll be the only one saying it : if they have managed to put the R5C capabilities on a stabilised sensor only at the cost of a grip... It's a big win and it will truly be a hybrid.
As a video enthusiast, I still regret to this day not buying the R5 when it came out. Won't make the mistake twice.
Called a store and preordered it to ensure to get it day 1.

Here’s to hoping it will be smarter camera generation as well!

DJI smartphone integration feels like EV vs 20 year old car when compared to Canon.

Bigger, much better rear screen!

Much longer battery life and more cycles.

Better charging from any odd USB-C source - not fun to have to use a 20W PD charger all the time and cannot - use a small power bank. maybe even usb-c on battery itself - there are aftermarket ones.

Bluetooth link with phone to get GPS on images.

Apple find my integration - 20$ license cost on a 4K device is nothing.

List of smart features goes on… canon will likely give us … none.

I’ll buy it for the dynamic range, fast sync speed and silent shutter. Anything else is likely a non-upgrade (compared to EOS R vs R5 esp)

Looking at the R5 Mk II spec list, most interesting for me is, how the sensor could be improved.
And - as rumoured before - what new AF SW features it will get. (not displayed on this spec list).

R1 will be fascinating, but not for my shopping basket.

I'm still hoping they added GPS, but I'm guessing they don't since I haven't seen rumors about it.
The cooling vents and added cooling option are a great idea, and make me wonder about using the cooling option for astrophotography use. Maybe it would make some great photos for those that don't have a dedicated astrophotography setup. I wonder if they have added any code for sensor shifting to assist in astrophotography?
I also wonder if they'll still have the stupid 4 digit wrap around in their photo numbering system if you don't manually increase your folder number?
I've given up hoping they add aperture bracketing, but maybe they will one day.
