Canon EOS R5 Mark II expected availability for preorders

I too received the same email but, having found the "confirmed ship date" part of the sentence a bit ambiguous, I contacted B&H who confirmed my suspicion: what that means is that orders will indeed begin shipping on that date, but does NOT mean my specific order will ship on that date. At this point B&H was unable to provide a shipping date for my specific order.
Bummer, I was thinking mine would actually ship on August 20th. Sold my R5 the day I ordered the MKII. Getting by with my R8 till the MKII arrives.

JACS-with-spaces over at dpreview has been using the raw files from the studio scene to see how it compares to the R5. He's analyzing the data from the RAW files and it looks like the baked-in noise reduction at low ISOs is less heavy. So you get slightly more detail at the expense of slightly more noise.

Better detail, less colour cast and 14-bit in ES, that's a big improvement for my use case. Let's see how fast DxO can add R5II support to their denoisers!
