Wait for a few months and Panamoz will be selling the R5ii 20-30% cheaper. For me, the choice is absolutely clear - I want the resolution of the R5, I do not want a larger, heavier body, and the 5 series are tailor-made for the size of my hands.
Size and resolution is definitely important to me as well. Reason I sold my 1dx2 and bought an R was mostly size and weight, and getting into mirrorless. I think it will be the R5 II for me, if I will ever get a hold of one that is…
Technically r6ii has pre capture too. Though I think it’s better implemented on the new cameras (separate files instead of a container, and E shutter is generally more useful with the stacked sensors). Surprised the R3 never got it
Can’t help being suspicious that the hardware in the R3 was up to it but Canon had planned that it was to be a must have for the next generations. I know the arguments that the Digic X in the R5 wasn’t up to it but the R3 is a higher powered beast.
The 1Dx was a huge step up from the 5D3 in AF performance.
Viggo is in Norway.
This is what I'm waiting for.
but not sold!E-Infin is often even cheaper! R3 is currently 3980€ v 4177€ for example.This is what I'm waiting for.
Last time I looked, their price in euros was approximately 10% lower than elsewhere.
Body number 2 will be from Panamoz, if minus 20-30% becomes reality.
Yes, my wonderful 5 D IV will be replaced...
Dont know - bought several lenses and 2x 5div from them and never had any trouble. Probably spent 25k in total over a few years. Not that bothered by warranty - I'm insured to the hilt and my stuff is used and abused in a professional situation daily. A year for faulty equipment is all I have ever really made use of.
If you're insured, ok.
I'm in France too. I pay insurance because I need to always have working equipment. The cost comes out of my business. I send it to Canon to fix, with CPS, and thats the end of it.
