What are the chances for a viewfinder upgrade to 5MP?

Isn't that part of the rumored specs?

  • Same EVF as the EOS R5 (So no eye-controlled AF)

The R5 has 5.76 Million dots (1600x1200). If you are you asking how likely is this rumored spec to be true, then it is really hard to tell :)

Now, given that the R1 went to 9.44 Million dots EVF with Eye Control and the R5 to 5.76 Million dots with Eye Control, then this allows the R6 to go to 5.76 Million dots and still be a step behind the R5 for differentiation. I'd say I believe it very well could be that the R6 III will have a 5.76 Million dots EVF

Curious, what are the exciting improvements in sound and lighting gear you are referring to?

The Rode Wireless Go II is one - two-channel system with internal recording plus send to an outside recording setup (innovation is that is is so small built-in backup). There are others that are more advanced but this one has all that I need and nothing that I don’t.

Lighting -
- Super small photo and video LED lights that are capable and cheap.
- Flexible lighting panels. So amazing for a run and gun-plus, one-person show like me.

Nobody gives a crap about this carbon footprint nonsense. Stop sucking up to the climate change cult and just live your life like a normal person. But yes, shooting 8K isn't practical.

I am talking about scientific facts, not believes. I studied physics, I definitely know more then you about semiconductor physics, and I frequently deal with climate change because I am editor of a physics journal. This is why I exactly know what I am talking about when I write a comment about carbon footprint.

And I don't like autocrats who think they could tell me what I have to stop and what not. There are too many of that sort out there... :poop:

"Cult" is believing without knowing and without having (and accepting) facts.

Please do a proper research, listen to the experts and don't talk about "crap about this carbon footprint nonsense".
It’s you and us all, not changing anything, that we are sawing at the branch we are sitting on.
And if you don't have an imagination about what will happen, when we don't act, watch the beginning of "Interstellar".
We're much closer to that dystopia than you think. :mad:

@Maximilian and @justaCanonuser I am afraid you are wasting your time trying to reason with climate change deniers for they are members of a cult with closed minds, and not you.

I know, I have a lot of experience as a science journalist (besides being an editor I write for the science pages of e.g. a leading German newspaper), I have already been threatened. I simply do not like if somebody approaches me in such a rude and disrespectful way, we are on CR and not on X (Twitter). I always try to be polite with others here, and most people here like you are really nice.

But such rude reactions are well researched by psychologists. When a lot of people are too scared by a threat they cannot intellectually cope with, their brains switch to aggressive defense. It's the old metaphor of the ostrich burying its head in the sand in the face of an approaching lion. In fact, real ostriches would never do that - despite the fact, that their brains aren't the biggest ones. But many human beings tend to the head in the sand like behavior. Well, what does this tell us about human brains... ? :cautious:

Now, that's enough, let's better return to photography topics here :)

I feel like you need to be capable of opening yourself up to fear and becoming curious about why you feel it if you actually want to be good at photography. So maybe this is more relevant than you think.

There aren't many shooting 6K video, and it is strange that Canon pushed that. RED, Black Magic, and other dedicated video cameras are doing 6K & 12K. If you're shooting 6K then you're already putting work on your plate to transform that to 4K via either crop or downscale. But 30MP doesn't map nicely to a video frame is what I'm saying, which is why Canon have abandoned that sensor. Canon's sensor resolutions are now being chosen by what they think is suitable for video, photography be damned.

I think you have a good point. 24 MP = 6K RAW Video and 45 MP = 8K RAW Video.

Just out of curiosity, how many dots would be equivalent to my 5DS viewfinder ?

I wonder if there is any indication yet on whether the R6 III will get a top display (like the R5 series)?
Click to expand...
Why is this so important to so many?

Using my brothers T90, coming from a Nikon F-601 via 5D2, 5D3 and 5D4 - all Cameras with top displays -
I'm now using the R6m2 and I can tell you that I don't miss that top display just a second.
I do my shooting settings directly in the EVF and with the control and dial wheels while keeping the subject in the VF.
I know the setting of the mode wheel and can change that blindly to the correct shooting mode.
For more complex menu settings a top display is useless IMO. There the main screen is the tool of choice.
I understand that the top display is some kind of a status symbol.
And I know it can help sometimes.
But for my technique of shooting it isn't important anymore.

And to answer your question:
R6 and R6m2 didn't have it. Why should the Mk 3?

People upgrading from the immediate prior generation is NEVER the target market. Canon knows this. Most logical people know this.
Click to expand...
That totally depends on how much of the market you control. If you have 90% share, your upgraders are your primary target. Switchers, while valuable, are not that big a target.

Granted, that is rarely the case. Most markets settle down to two leaders who may or may not swap places and one "plucky upstart".

Upgraders, yes. But not necessarily upgraders from the immediate predecessor to the new model, which was the point being made. Given that Canon has been at nearly 50% market share for a decade and a 5+ useful life for camera gear, Canon has an installed based of 70-80%, and Sony and Nikon have 10-15% each (Sony's market share increase came from Nikon's loss).

The point is that Canon's goal is likely not to make the R5II an appealing upgrade for owners of an R5, but rather make it appealing to the many owners of 5-series DSLRs, and secondarily owners of 6-series DSLRs, EOS R and R6 looking to step up.
