It seems that there may not be a Canon R5 Mark II camera in the works, but that’s only because something even more thrilling is happening with Canon R5 itself. According to the latest leaked screenshot of Canon’s official EU website, The Canon R5 is able to capture 400 MP Images with the help “IBIS HIGH Resolution” Mode. As we all know the mode doesn’t exist now in the current Canon ROS R5 bodies so, we are expecting a major firmware update from Canon.
Since these websites are already updated in draft mode and the cache files are overflowing sometimes due to human error. We are expecting the announcement of the Canon R5 Major firmware update within the next 25 days.
DXOMark is really surprised to test out the new Canon R8 camera. The overall test of the Canon R8 camera looks similar to a 24 Full-frame BSI CMOS Sensor. Take a look what DXO Mark Said
Although neither ‘back-side-illuminated’ nor ‘stacked’ the 24.2 MP CMOS sensor in the Canon EOS R8 has similar performance characteristics to BSI sensors from rivals. As a result, it makes sense to compare it with the 24.2 MP BSI CMOS in the Nikon Z6 II even if that camera sits at a higher position in the market.
It’s really appreciable that the Canon R8 camera sensor FSI Sensor is performing so well in the lab test, now able to compete against BSI Sensors of the same range. Just imagine when will happen when Canon will bring out its BSI variant of their FSI Sensors. It will surely blow away the existing competition.
DXO Mark about Canon R8
The EOS R8’s 24.2MP sensor achieves a DXOMARK score of 93 in our tests.
It was ranked 10th overall and 3rd for Canon sensors.
It greatly exceeds the 85 points of the EOS RP and is better than the 1D X Mark III.
It is slightly lower than EOS R5/R3.
Dynamic range is what I’m most good at. Nearly 15 stops (14.7EV) at base sensitivity (ISO100). It is a peak value similar to the high-end EOS R5 and R3.
It also has good color depth and a low light score between the R5 and R3 cameras.
According the latest set of information we are having from a Japanese website (asobinet) , the stock supply pipelines of EOS R getting dry, resulting in low stock, end of the EOS R sale may be near. Although we have to wait to get final confirmation from Canon itself.
According to the latest rumors surfaced over the web, Canon is also working on an entry-level body without EVF, a similar camera to Nikon Z30 or Sony ZV-E10. The big reason behind removing EVF and making it more compact, to reach a wider audience at an affordable price. The expected core specs are
Canon R200 Rumored Specification
24MP sensor (same as we have seen in Canon R50 / Canon R10),
Elec shutter (No EFCS), and
4k 24,30p Recording (No 10BIT HDRPOQ mode)
No EVF
arrival date end of 2023 / Q1 of 2024 when the Canon R50 peak sales period is over.
Rumor coming from an unreliable source, Take it with a grain of salt, although we do have a slight possibility to see a Canon M200 replacement in Canon RF Mount.
According to the latest rumors coming out from the rumor mill, the Canon R5 Mark II camera is delayed and will not arrive in 2023. According to a Canon rumor source, Canon is planning for a massive firmware upgrade of Canon EOS R5 and in the firmware update we will see
Canon R5 Upcoming Firmware update
Lens breathing correction
Pre-shooting buffer
Removal of 30 minutes record limit
Vehicle tracking AF mode (bikes, trains & planes)
Additional tracking for more animals
And now the source of the rumor mill suggests since we are getting such a massive update in the Canon EOS R5, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II may get delayed till 2024 and is expected to arrive alongside the Canon EOS R1 camera in 2024.
This is the set of info we are getting from the rumor mill, but the story continues and we will try to find out the sources
Let’s dig up the source of the rumor
The Canon R5 Mark II camera is being delayed first told by Jan Wegener, according to his trusted sources and industry people he knows said that no Canon R5 mark II from Canon is coming in 2023, instead of that Canon will be focusing on realizing Telephoto zoom lenses for RF Mount. This makes more sense since nowadays bird/wildlife photographers are more preferring Sony system cameras and lenses instead of Canons due to their limited tele-zoom offerings.
But, why he is more reliable than CanonRumor itself, take a look at this video below
Blast from the past: Jan Wegener Canon R6 Mark II Spot on Prediction
We will post an update soon as we get any new set of information
TNC Take, Actually, I was expecting Canon R5 Mark II camera official announcement in Nov 2023 and before that, we were expecting its development announcement Aug-Sep 2023. But, it looks like we will have only have Nikon Z8 this year and Canon is out of the High MP Mirrorless race (at least for 2023)
The big question is when Canon will open its RF Mount like Sony, Nikon, and Fuji. Many people are still waiting OR many of them buy different cameras since RF Mount has few lenses.
Phototrend website asked the same question, Canon said
It is true that we are approached by many third-party manufacturers. We hear their demands. However, we have no direction or policy as such on this subject.
Naturally, I cannot share more details with you, but what I can say is that if this aligns with our strategy, we will take the necessary action on a case-by-case basis. I can’t tell you more.
But, the good news is Canon allowed the first third-party lens maker to have contact with its RF Lens mount. Cosina the Voigtlander 50mm f/1 is the first “third-party” lens to be able to communicate with the body via the RF mount.
However, there is no clarity. Canon still wants to keep everything under the curtains and as they said “we have no direction or policy as such on this subject” which also indicates a lack of transparency and no clear set of rules for third-party lens makers.
For, sure if we consider all the facts here NO third-party AF lenses for RF Mount coming anytime soon, do share your opinion about this.
Yes, the Canon R50 camera doesn’t have a fully mechanical shutter inside the camera, instead of that we have HYBRID and ELECTRONIC. Shutter
Just after the announcement of the Canon R50 camera, I am getting lots of msgs from my users about why we have only two options on the shutter menu of the camera that say
Elec. first curtain shutter
Electronic only
But, when you go the burst mode, you have two options: the first is a 12FPS mechanical, and the second is a 15fps electrical shutter.
Ideal Condition to remove Mechanical shutter from your camera
Condition 1: If the camera sensor has a GLOBAL SHUTTER without any lag, yes the camera doesn’t need any mechanical shutter.
Condition 2: When a Camera Maker is using a STACKED CMOS Sensor inside the camera as we have in Nikon Z9, Sony ALPHA A1, or Canon R3, OR EVEN a re-worked FSI (Front Side illuminated Sensor) like we have in Canon R6 Mark II and Canon R8.
Now, these are the ideal condition to remove MECHANICAL SHUTTER completely from your camera.
THE BIG BUT
If your camera uses a slow traditional FSI (Front Side illuminated Sensor) and even knowing those stuff you completely attempt to remove the Fully Mechanical Shutter system from your camera it’s not recommended.
Since Both the EFCS Shutter and the Fully Electronic Shutter have some limitations. Specifically when paired with slow-readout-based sensors.
BASIC RULES TO FOLLOW as a PHOTOGRAPHER
1. If the shutter speed drops below 1/100 turn EFCS ON to prevent the front mechanical curtain from affecting your sharpness.
2. If the shutter speed goes above 1/1000 and you shoot a shallow depth of field turn EFCS OFF. The reason is that EFCS affects badly defocus characteristics of lenses when going above 1/1000
If your shutter speed is in between 1/100 and 1/1000 it is your call what to use. In general, when you do not shoot shallow depth-of-field portraits EFCs turned on is a good thing. When you put on the 135/1.8 or the Batis lens or even the 55/1.8 EFCS MUST go if you want nice bokeh
